Five o'Clock. Several more ships are getting

The Grace cartell, J. CAN:runt master, returned
to Plymouth on Monday from Morlaix, to which place
she took Mr. CURWAN, an American Minister, and a
number of sick and infirm prisoners on 'Thursday se'n-
night. Captain C.states that M. Dutache,the master a
a French niercharitman,ivho had been some time since
sent from Portsmouth, was seized immediately on
landing; and aster undergoing a simmary process,.
was next morning brought out and shot, as a spy sent
over by England. The cartels are not allowed to
have any communication with the shore, and all the
persons that land from them are strictly searched on •
their arrival, and afterwards kept in a place of safety
till orders are sent from their government as to their
disopsal. Thre-e stout privateers are still lying there,
and many English prizes.
' Three French prisoner:, Who had made their
escape arm prison, were taken up at Plymouth on
Tuesday by the town-serjeants, while loitering near
thaptuay, whence they iirtt.nded, in the night, to have
stolen some small vessel, and made toward the French
coast.
DREADFCL MURDER.—'The Diana frigate has an.
r'sved at Plyin-arth from a cruize off Brest..9n Tues.
day, the 19th of November last, they took French
brig, by cutting her out. They took out the French.
men who were on board her, and sent Mr. Andrews,
Master's Mate, a Quarter Master, named Bolen, Mr.
Winsland, Captain's Steward, four seamen of the
Diana, and two belonging to the Growler, and sent
her for Plymatn't . Aster they were out of sight of
the frigate, two Black fellows who were on board,
joined by the two men sent from the Growler, (who
wereforrignen its our :entire) rose upon the crew, and
killed Mr. Andrews, the Master's Mate, by thrusting
a crow-bar through his skull. They then called Mr.
Bolen, the Quarter Master, up from his sleep, and
asked him it he would join with them ? and on his
answering in the negative? one of the Blacks struck
him on the head with an axe, mid killed him on the
spot. They afterwards went below and killed Mr.
Winsland, the Steward, as he lay in his hammocks,
and threw the three bodies overboard. The other
two men belonging to the Diana, were compelled to
assist them in working the ship, intending to take her
I into Brest, but the wind being N.E. they could not
effect their purpose ; and, after being four days in pos-
session of the brig, the Aquilon and Diana again fell
in with them, took out those most atrocious mur.
derers, and put others on board her. The wretches
have arrived at Plymouth in the Diana, to be tried
by a Court Martial, and the two men whom they
compelled to assist, are to be evidence against than.
The captured brig has not yet arrived.

Norrismtem.—Various letters received yesterday
from Nottingham mention, that the rioters continue
their practice of frame-breaking, notwithstanding the
liberal -proposals held out to them by the trade. On
Monday and Tuesday nights, much mischief was done
at Ilkiston ; and several frames were broken aboirt
the same time, in the vicinity of Nottingham.
Some thieves, a few nights since, attempted to
break open the house of the Earl of 1311380110110149 is
Cavendish-square, by boring holes in the window..
shutter at 'the back of the house, but fortunately the
thieves alarmed the servants, and escaped without
their booty.
The present seasonable severity of the frost, gives
the natural rote to the cheek of beauty.

'I Ire Jury relred about four o'clock, an.l, after a
&Nl:temdim of upwards of two hoots, returned a ver-
ciccolisiOt Guilty for the defendants.

' Mr.iG a rtk,w stated that thia was an action brought
by ehe plaintiff, a sculptor, against the defendant, Ice
having pirated a bust executed by him of the late Mr.
Foe.. he plaintiff had determined to get a good like-
ness of the late celebrated statesman, and to accom-
plish this object he attended at the Crowe and An.
chor Tavern when Mr. Fox dined there in public : he
took with him a lump of moist clay, and whilst Mr.
Fox weir speaking took a rough sketch of his features,
which he toe k- home, finished, arid formed a mould
film 1:. Mr. Garrow then proceeded to delFibe the
progress of forming the mould, and observed, that 'it
was needless to say such a process must require consi-
derable talent and a vast degree of trouble, and item
that labour was produced the bust which he had the
hi nour of presenting to the Jury. This bust the plain-
tiff, when fin;slied, sold at the rate of one guinea : no
great ezettion, or talent, how...ver, was necessary in
• the forination of the defendant's bust ; all he had to.
do was to purchase one of the plaintiff 's busts at pne '
- ..
utrea, take a mould from it in plaster of Pat.'s, and
he could then, from that mould, issue thousands, I
v. b'cli, when sold by the Jews about the streets at 9s.
each, produced to him a very good profit ; and thus '.
he was enabled to undersell the plaintiff; but in'deing j
this, to do it safely, it aas necessary some alterati,
should be Made in the mould, that the bust produced
might not be an exact copy of the plaintiff's work,—
this alteration was made by throwing some drapery
'over the shoulders. It would, perhaps, be asked, did'
'his client contend for a monopoly of the busts of Mr.
• ,Fr a: ?no such thing. Let Derne.r, Nollekins or any
c :other person execute busts of that eminent statesmen;
but let them make them, and not steal them. Mr. •
Garrow concluded by saying, that irrightly instruc-
. ted, he should find 'no,didictilty in proving the cave
'-- ;be. d stated, shed having proved it, he should be
entitled to a verdict.
Parry, an artist, stated the circumstances at-
tending the executing the bust of Mr. Fox by the plain-
tiff:--on the othet bust being shewn to him, he declared
' his belief that it was a pirated one. The former was
published on the lstof September, 18C8, and the .price
wae a guinea.. . ,
Onhiscross-exa mi nation by Mr. TOPPING, he stated,
that on the ‘Lith of October, 1810, he was passing-by
the drlfadant's shop in Piccadilly, in company. with
the plailitifi, When he sew a bust, similar to that now
produced, Standing in the window—he went into the
slurp and en:Lae-calif it was to be sold, and was told the
• price .was 91s. Defendant told him he bad other busts
of 'Mr. Fox, and sheaved him one, but the
_witness
e toldifint the firet was the bust he preferred. He how-
ever left the shop without purchasing.
A. Vereaquier assisted the plantiff in making the
„yeeep.l.4:forljekost of Mr. Fon. The witness applied
the .- - - clop
Dja*Calid-t0 the bust bought at- the delen-
dares A • , and it was found to agree pericetly. lie
Wei°. pubt it was cast in a s=nider mould.
. ' Cross-cx;.stnitied by Mr. Gaze:A.—The 'face and
head of the-pirated bust perfectly agreed with ihe plain-
. tiff's mould, the shoulders were uifferen:: they were
' c.o.:vied With drapery, the Shoulders of, the original
. wcte bars.
Mr. TOPPING hcre submitted to his Lai dship, that
the plaintiff, upon this evidence, must be called. Otte
. of the counts in the declaration charged the defend ant
with making a copy of the plaintiff s work— that the
defendant was the maker of the bust purchased at his
shop, he submitted, there was no evidence. The-evi-
i
deuce, there Lee, could only apply tothe second count
for selling, or causing to be s Iti, or exposing to sale,
ncopy. 'f hey bad set this forth as au exact copy,
whereas, he contended, it was by no means an exact
err. Galway said, if the objection of his Learned
Friend was to prevail, it would 4 once repeal ail that
