NAVICI•ATION OW Mt bIZIIITERIANIAN.

" We are anxious to mate known the information of the French
Consut•Oener'al of Tripoli, in Barbary. contained in his letter of
the 11th June.

"The crew of the/French tartan named the Saint Maurice,
belonging to M.Gastaidy, a merchant of Marseilles, having aban-
doned their vessel on the approach of a Tripolese cor.air which
was emiaing twenty miles to the eastward of Civita Vecchia, but
which merely went to recount:4re her, the French vessel was
taken possession of by the Arabs and carried into Tripoli. As
soon as the I'acf•a had notice that the vessel was Freoch, be re-
stored her to the French Consul, with many Impressions of
ieodship."

Armaments are talring place of course in our port.
The Pipe employs with- great pleasure •any naval
&en, as well Italian as foreigners, who are well

recommended.

If the impulse is well seconded which is manifested
throughout Italy, it may be predicted that the Bar-
barian flag will float no longer, except on the
foktiesses of Tripoli. Tunis, and Algiers.
The English here speak in pompous terms of Lord
Exnpouth's Expedition ; but our impatience will not
be satisfied Until we shall have seen the fleet in full
sail againit the brigands and their places of resort.

16 PkoPLE OF MAR4AI4ITTA—The perjured assassin
Atismendi seduced you; he made you believe that
the army had beta exterminated, myself killed, and
Carthagena independent. As usual he deceived yon,
the OMNIPOTENT watches over the King's arms. I
have bees sometime since acquainted with your deli-
rium. I did not then address myself to you, because
the reduction of the fortress of Carthagena, and of this
Vice-royalty, did not then permit me to put in execu-
tion what I now propose to you.
Choose between extermination or repentance.
For the treacherous and perjured Arismendi there
can be no further mercy ; his head hstrit fall as those
of the carabanos and C.istillos ; the earth can no
longer suffer such a monster. You yotirselvei have
seen him tremble, cry, and throw hiinself at my feet,
ishen I forgot his Crimes, and he swore allegiance
to the King.
fe To execute what I intimate to you, Colonel Mo-
rales and his troops, new crowned with laurels, the
pattern of loyalty and terror of traitors, has marched
already. I shall promptly follow the rest of the army.
Fred) troops from Spain have landed in Panama,
otheri Will arrive on your coasts, where the squadron
perhaps may have already arrived. The King's
aims destroy the rebels every where. In Peru those
of Buenos Ayres, and here those who hide meatured
their strength with ours. Falsehood alone could hive
deprived you of the happiness you obtained when you
least expected it ; and which has fled from you as a
dream.
People of Margaritta—Matsoever I promised
yeu f hare hailed. I never deceived you :—it was
'IA in My power to have avenged the .blood of so
many Spaniards assassinated, but I availed myself of
the grAttlul opportunity of making you happy, and

trusted you would have been thankful, but the hour
of your just chastilement has now arrived, although
it's not my desiga to involve the innocent and re-

Pentane with the guilty. Avail yourselves yet of the
clemency so strongly recommended by the most bu.

Mane•of Monarchs. But a few moments remain to
70..2. Throw down your arms ; shelter yourselves
beneath the generosity of the Spanish troops; present

• _ _
yourselves to the Commander of them in your Island;
er resolve-to perish. Doubt not for a moment that
sooer will Spain cease to-exist, that she will cease to
exterminate the obstinate assassins and perjurers

This was an action on the case, brought to recover
compensation in damages from the defendant. who
is well known to the public as an eminent singer and
composer of music, on the -ground of criminal con-
versation with the plaintiff's wife ; qnd the damages
were laid at 45,000. . •
The pleadiogi having been opened, Mr. Serjeant
LENS addressed the Jury on behalf ere the pl
He began by observing. that the profession of his
client, wh s was a purser in the naval service of the
East India Company, nectssarly produced his occa-
sional absence from this country. The defendant in
tele present cue, by taking advantage of this absence
to alienate the affections of the wile of his friend,
appeared to him to have committed a very aggravated
off.tnte. Fur this injury the plaintiffnow required such
reparation at pecuniary compensation could afford
from tit it justice which the Court would not tail to ad-
minister upon the merits of the case. With respect to
the actual injury sustained by the seduction of the
plaintiff's wile, little as he knew of the shape which
lthe debate to this action was to -assume, ice appre-
hended there would be no difficulty. The fact was
too notorious to be dispittedoind his duty would
therefore be confined to a detail and proof of those
circumstances by which the precise character of the
offence must be determined, and the extent of injury
suffered by the plaintiff ascertained. lie should call
evidence which-would spew the terms of happiness
and affection upon which the plaintiff and his wife
had lived from the period of his marriage up to the
time of his last departure from England, in April
1815. It might become necessary for him also to
establish, which he could do satisfactorily, that Mr.
Wright bad not left her or her three children to the
dangers and suggestions of want during his absence.
On the contrary, their support and comfort had been
amply provided for,; and the plaintiff had every
reason to confide in the honour and friendship of the
defendan with whom and with Madame Storace,l
Mr. and blrs. Wright had long lived in habits of the
closest intimacy. Unfortunately the defendant, to
whom in hit prafesssianal character, notheig but ad.
miration was due, forgot at once the ties of friendship'
and the duties of morality ; and he regretted as much
as any nlan that his conduct should square so ill with
his talents, or that there should he guy thing in his
private life that did not correspohd with his public
eminence. He had already said that the defendant,
Mr. Braham, had lived in the most unreserved inter-
course with the family of the plaintiff, until he thought
proper to leave Madame Storace, and carry away the
wife of the plaintiff, during his absence from his,
home and his country. %Int was to be urged in ex
tenuation of this proceedog he did not know, and
should no: t!lcr,•fore at present speculate upon ; the
Jury, in the exe I.:ise of their around jutlgnmit, after
hearing it, whatever it m;ght lie, would say what te-
parhtion was due to a man who had been thus de-
prived of conjugal society, who was the father of a
family, whose mind was harassed with doubts as to
the legitimacy of one child, and oho had been thus
injured. not whilst improperly absent from home,
but when absent from necessity, with a view to his
wink interests as well as his own, and for thegene-
ral benefit of his family. There could be no question
itt this case but that the confidence of friendship had
been abused ; and he repeated that he was s•lry there
should be so little connection between the professional
excellence and the moral conduct of the defendant.
The first witness was Robert Coy se ; he was pre-
sent at the marriage of the plaintiff with Sophia
Speck, on the Ist of January, 1809, at the parish
church of St. George. He knew the Lady before
this marriage—she was the widow of a Mi. Speck,
by whom she b J three children. He visited her Ire.
queutly after the . second mart iage, and always oh-
set Ted, that she and the plaintiff lived together upon
terms of the greatest harmony and affection.

He visited them up to April in the year 181.5,
when Mr. Wright went last to sea ; during the time
of his intimacy they lived in New-street, and is
Lamb's Conduit-street ; they lodged in the Litter
street in 1814 He might have seen Madame Storace
and Mr. Braham there. The register of the marriage
between Henry Wright and Sophia Speck, widow,
was then put in and verified. It was signed by the
Rector, J. L. Martin.

night with Mrs. Wright, whom she believed to have
been a pattern for a wife. She knew her since her
maul age; Mr. Brehm was a good deal there, but
not oftener than other visitoes ; never saw any diffe-
rence of civility between them and him. Never re-

nothing of that pleasant trip—often recollected. Mr.

Wright and Ma. Braham arrive together. Mr. B.
and Madame•Storace she knew slept together, and
had done :9 for years, at their house at Herne Hill,
a short distance from town. The latter always headed
the table there, indeed they lived as man and wife.
She often met Mrs. Wright there, but did nut recol-
