A few days since a labouring man engaged plough-
ing in a field at Bignor, near Petworth, in Sussex,
found the plotigh obstructed by a heavy stone, which
he obtained assistance and removed ; it is of marble,
and beneath it a flight of steps, of the same, leading
to a large arched passage, when they discovered an
entire Rotlian Bath, with tesselated pavement, in per-
fect preservation. 'rhe bath is of a hexagonal fermi,
surrounded with seats, in the centre is a met:line ripe
—the bottom of the bath is about two fret bel.•w
the pavement, and five feet wide ; the tesselated
floor represents various figures in dancing attrudes,
most beautifully wrought. In digging tarther, time;
found a dolphin and various other antiquities of the
most costly materials. It is supposed to be the it-
mains of a Roman Palace. A Rumen road has also
been discovered leading through the field, and sup-
posed to extend much further, but it ie not at present
suffered to be explored. A gentlemen in the vicinity
has an ancient manuscript which particularly speaks
of this place, and many attempts had been made to
discover it, before it was so fortunately accomplished
by accident. In this manuscript, many other curio-
skies are spoken of, which are expected to be disco-
vered on a further exploration. Pi rsons from all round
the vicinity, have been to examine the place. A very
considerable sum has been offered for the field on a.
specule,ion, but refused.
Early yesterday morning the premises of Mr.

Liii INTALLIGENC.S.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JULY 29.
IPLINDT V. REID.

•

S;

f

This was an action on a policy of insurance on the
sb:p.Nina, at and, from this country to the Baltic,
with licence, and a cargo, consigned to a Prussian
'merchant residing at Stettin,.in Prussia. The vessel
arrived safe in Swinemunde Roads, and the C.tptain
landed, mid forwarded his papers, &c. to the mer-
chant at Stettin, to whom the cargo was consigned,
and returned on board his ship; when a party of
Prussian soldiers were put on board the vessel, and
part or her cargo was taken out, and put intn lighters
•by then}; and taken into Swinemunde. Whilst the
with
vesstl, the remainder of her cargo, was tying in
the roads, she was taken possession of by a French
privateer ; but, on the return of the Prussianioldiers,
the Frencn gave her up. 'She was then, with the re-
mainder of her cargo, taken into the harbour, and all
lt•-.:r cargo replaced to her, and the Prussian seals of
office clapped on her hatchways. She continued ly-
ing in this state from the Ist or second of December
to the beginning of April, when a French Commissa-
ry, and a number of Prussian soldiers came on board,
and the soldiers, under the direction of the French
officer; put the cargo into lighters, which set sail to-
wards Stettin, which place was at that time gar-
risoned by a Prench force. The present action was
brought to recover against the underwriters, as for a
loss by a French force. •
Mr. TOPPING) for the Underwriters, contended that
the plaintiffs were not entitled to recover, inasmuch
as this was not a loss from a French force. All that
had been done had been done by the Prussian Go-
vernment, and by Prussian soldiers ; and he was pre-
pared to state, the cargo had been condemned in a
- Prussian Court ; that the condemnation had taken
plate at Berlin on the 9th of January, and been com-
municated to the Governor of Stettin on the 15th of
the same month : therefore, the act of condemnation,
being the act of the Prussian Coverament, of which
the persons interested were subjects, and therefore
parties; they were not entitled to recover.
Lord Euesalitouan observed, that of the fact at
present there could be no doubt ; it was a capture by
a Prussian force under French controul and direc-
tion—a Prussian condemnation, but a 'French appro-
priation. No person could wish to put.money into
the hands of the enemy'; but we must decide accord-
ing to law and evident', or this nation would not
long retain the character it now possesses. Here it
was said • there was a condemnation in the Prussian
• Courts. From the present state of the' Continent,
and the influence possessed by the French, the old
eases in the books would not apply to this. He wish:
ed the question, how far the protection to individuals,
resident in countries so completely under the controul
cf France, should extend, should be considered. To
do this, he wished a special verdict should be entered
in the present case, when it could be argued in ano-
ther place.
This suggestion of his Lordship was adopted, and
a special verdict was entered for the plaintiff, subject
ft
to the opinion of the Court on the particular case.
Several other cases were depending on this, the
decisions in all of which were the same of course.

. A few days since, two French prisoners in Firton
Prison, having quarrelled, agreed to settle their dif-
.ference by fighting with foils, the buttons of which
were taken off, and the points filed. The death of
one of -..hcm was the result.
RECENT DISCOVERY.-M. de. CHEMANT, Surgeon
end Dentist, No. 2, Frith-street, Soho-square, original
inventor of Mineral Teeth, has recently discovered in 1
England a mineral substance, for themaking of Arti-
ficial Teeth, possessing qualities infinitely superior to
those which be formerly made of materials procured
from France. Teeth formed of this substance can be
made of any colour, which it is impossible to change :
they are not liable to break, being by no means brit-'
title, aficl by Itr. process used in their formation, are
impregnable to the most intense heat, consequently
they will not contract ; they act as an astringent to
the gums, which they never discolour, and will not
require replacing—by means of which the excrucia-
ting pain generally attendant thereon, is avoided.—
The numerous and pressing applications with which
Mr. de Cm:KANT has been favoured, during an ex-

pericnce of near twenty years, may in some measure
"have prevented his paying them individually, that at-
tention which they have deir.anded—but he flatters
himself that he is now euabltd to furnish those, who
may require liis assistance, with ArtiScial Teethv
with that expedition, and upon terms which will meet
the approbation of every.class of the community.
Worm: are the most frequent sources of Childrens'
disases: Their symptrus every ;Tent and guar(' a
of children Atould be acquainted with. They OCCaSlt.il
loss of appetite, a paleness of the colour of the face,
emaciation, and irregular state of the bowels, atten-
ded after with violent pains ; they bring en convul-
sions, they affect the growth of the body, and they
prove fatal, by ending in a 'consumption or decay.—
Both as a preventative and cure of these alarming
complaints, Ching': Patent Worm Lozenge: is univer-
sally allowed, on the testimony of the highest charac- j
terns in this country, both in rani and respectability,
to have no equal: The public approbation given to
the Pl4orietor, from a personal knowledge of its won-
derful success in their own families, stamps its merit
li.,yond competition, and gives a -sanction to it, of
witich no other Medicine of the kind can boast.-11
Parents and others who have the care of childrtu
should have this remedy as a family medicine to re-
sort to, whenever the stomach or bowels of children
ire aty way disordered, which it will always be
found to relieve. • Sold, wholeliale and retail, at Mr.

POLICE, Esse.

Bow-sate.—Yesterday Farb Mike, Who
beenin custody for some time on suspicion of .king
concerned in the robbery of duryaisley and Glasgow
Bank, was again brought up. No further evidence
having arrived from Glasgow, that charge was not
one into: but evidence was addtfced against him
for being at large before the expiration of his term of
transportation. The identifying his person, and the
proof being sufficient, the parties were bound over to
prosecute him at the next Assizes for the county of
Surrey, for his being-found at large in that county.
Mary Whim and Ain Smith were brought in the
custody of Pearkes, and charged with robbing the
shop of Mr. Dodsley, a hosier, in Tavistock-street,
Covent Garden, of 12 pair of black silk stockings.
It appeared, that on Saturday night the prisoners
went into the prosecutor's shop and purchased a pair
of gloves. Directly after they were gone the shop-
man missed a bundle of black silk stockings,and sus-
pecting the prisoners, pursued them into Maiden-
lane, challenged them with having taken the stock-
ings, anal insisted upon their returning to the shop,
which they agreed to. On their way back he obser-
ved the prisoner White step into a taylor's shop in
Maiden-lane, he followed her in, and on searching
the shop a bundle of silk stockings wasjound, which
he proved to be the same that were taken from the
shop. White was committed for trial, and Smith
was discharged.
Elizabeth Butler, Harriet Fitzgerald, and Richard
Paine were charged with, feloniously stealing a shawl,
a pair of gold ear-rings, a box, &c. the property of
j Hannah Howels;
r It appeared that the prosecutrix is lately from
Yorkshire, and is staying with some friends,ithe
neighbourhood of Moorfields. Last Tuesday the
WAS in Holborn, and had forgot her way back to
Moorfields, and meeting with the prisoners, Elizabeth
Butler and Harriet Fitzgerald, she asked them her
way, when they inveigled her into the Turk's Head
public-house, in George-street,. St. Giles's, where
they insisted upon her drinking some gin, or they
would throw it over her, and got possession of the
above articles under a pretence of looking at them,
and absconded from the house. After considerable
difficulty, she found her way back to her friends;
and in a day or two after, a gentleman, a friend of
her's, went into St. Giles's, traced out the female
prisimers, and questioned them as to the property of
the prosecutrix. The prisoner, Richard Paine, was
present and threatened them most violently if they
acknowledged any thing, or gave any answers
The prosecutrix identified the prisoner Butler as
haying taken her shawl and ear-rings, and Eitzge-
,
rald to have taken her box and two shillings. They
r were committed for further examination.
MANSION House.'--An individual was yesterday
charged before the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor,
with having assaulted a reputable looking woman,
named Mary Hastings,on Sunday evening, in Bishops,.
gate-street. It appeared that the plaintiff had just
alighted from a stage, when the prisoner rushed upon
her, drew her petticoats over her head, and kicked
her in the most brutal manner. •Hetwas immediately
secured by some persons who witnessed the scene,
and was conveyed to the watch-house.
The Lotto MAYOR, after having observed, that no
man could have been guilty of so disgraceful an out-
rage, asked the prisoner who he was, and what plea
he had to make in justification of his conduct ? To
this he replied with great nonchalance, that he was a
tailor, and was drunk at the time of his misconduct..
The Loan MAYOR would not suffer the matter to
be coinpromised, and ordered the offender to be com-
n:itted for trial.

A most extraordinary robbery was committed on
Thursday evening last; on ,Hounslow Heath, by a
single footpad, who stopped the coach of Surgeon
Morriss, of Marlborough-street, in which were him-
self and the two Miss S9merville's, of the above
place. The fellow had no weapon hut a large clasp
knife, which he thrust into the coach, and swore he
would stab •Mr. Morriss if he made the least hesita-
tion in deliveting his money. He rave him two five 4
pnand notes and four shillings. l'he Ladies were
all the time in the greatest agitation, for fear the fel-
low
should commit some barbarity, and held, taeir
;
money oat, begging he would take it, and go about
, his business. But he had no sooner' done with the
I Gentleman than he removed their apprehensions, by
saying, " Nay, Ladiei, don't be frightened, I never
did the least injury to a woman in my life, nor never
1 I will, dam'me ; as for your money, keep it to your.
selves, all that I shall ask fromDrou is a kiss a-piece :
it yois grudge me that; I'm sure you are neither sen-
sible nor good homt.ured." He then. took his leave
very' civilly, declaring that it was the first robbery he
ever committed, and should be the last. He had
spent all his money, he said, very foolishly, and that
su would carry him to his friends, and then he
ahallld have plenty. The whole transaction lasted
eear five minutes, yet no passenger came up. There
was a footman behind the coach, but no attempt was
1 thou ht of at the time, owing to flight, for having
the fellow secured. He was a lusty well made man,
near six feet high, dressed in a blue jacket, and had
the Irish accent.
