when the gale abated, and we rat enabled to make
fail. in the forenoon of that day two arahge fail were
leen in the 8. E. quarter ; fignal was made to Chace
in that dirohion. In the night between Monday and
Tucfday we (poke one of them, which proved to be a
*del from Hamburgh to Cadiz, laden with wheat ;
we (poke the other next morning, which, on our coin
log up, hoißed Purtuguefe colours. Our Second
Lieutenant was fent on board to examine her paper►,
who immediately ordered her under the Admiral's
lan, where the now remains. The gale of wind of
Saturday, Sunday, and Monday was not attended
with any material injury to the fleet ; the lea ran fo
high, and our Chip rolled fo much, as almof made
the cooking of viSuals impoffible ; but this was
not the only difficulty : we have on board of this fhip
a good many of my Lord Mayor's volunteers, who,
however flippery their lituation might be before his
Lotelfhip, found it more difficult to hand firm in their
prefent fituation than they had ever before experi
toted. In carrying the provifions from the coppers
to their births on the gun deck at dinner time, it was
a common thing to fee peafe fotip, fat pork, tin ket-
tles, cannon fhot, and Manfion Houfe Volunteers, all
rolling on the deck in one general male, rebounding
from the hatchway commons to the (hip's fides, with
alionifbing rapidity, to the no fmallamufementof thofe
who Rood on a more fob,' foundation. A few more
doles of this kind of phyfic will make us a Ready
hip's company. The weather has continued flormy
ever fince the commencement of this month. Yeti-
terday mornirg early, lignal was made to bear away
for Torbay, and this morning we came fate to an an-
chor here. The weather was fo unfettled while we
were ont that we had not the opportunity of looking
into Breit Itari)niir, but from information we under-
hand the Frcnch fleet there is very formidable, and
to appearance ready for lea. Whatever their appear-
ance may be, I am pretty certain they will not at•',
tempt coming out this (cairn : our enemies pettedly
well know they can do us more injury by keeping us
cruising off their coafts during the winter, than they
could by hazarding the chance of a victory e I hope,
and I perfoade myfelf alto, the day they prefume to
point their jib boons ends to the Atlantic Ocean, or
the chops of the Erglith Channel, that day the
Bri-
tills Tars will give a proper account of theps to their
country. It is a great hardfhip fur England to be
under the many of keeping lo formidable a naval

COURT 01, CHANCERY. NOV. ts.

RI TARTS CRUTCHFI ELD-.CLANDESTIN I COURTSHIP.

Mr Itoretssv (aid. that Mrs. Farmer and her
Friends, Mr. Thomas Jones and Mr. Charles Ferns,
had filed affidavits, fur the purple of extenuating
their toadied with regard to Thomas Pearce, a ward
of the Court ; but he was nor aware that they merited
any otsfervations on hi, part.
Mr. RICHARDS fisted the contents of the affidavits
of Jones and Perns, to the effin that they were per-
ions *ithout fortune, or any other means than the
exercife of their profcffions. The affidavit of Mrs.
Farmer let forth that the had been long acquainted
with the young man Thomas Pearce; that while he
was at Loughborough. Houle Boarding School, at
Stockwell, he vifited a family with whom the was
intimate, and of made had frequent opportunities
of meeting with her. Upon thefe occalions he al-
ways expreffed hinsfelf towards her with great affec-
don and regard, and requefied permifficrit to vifit her
At her houfe ; the at !lift denied him ; but his impor-
tunities became fo preffing that the at lag eonfented,
and prod:tired to be married to him ; that as foot as
Ilse hated he was under age, and a ward of the Court
of Chancery, the wrote him a letter, entreating him
to give up all thoughts of her. Under thefe circum-
flames the Learned. Counfel obferved, that although
he could not jullify the Lady, he hoped his Lordffirp
would not tonfider her as deferving very thvere ana-
madverfion.

The Loafs Citaricas.coa alked, whether the in-
innillion had allied to reflrain all manner of intereourle
between Mrs. Farmer and the Minor ?

Mr. RICHARD/ replied, that it had Med, and that
cher% was no appreheution of its being violated oh the
part of the Lady ; the had an opportunity of going
abroad with a family, and intended to Avail herfelt
of it.

Loan CH merzLeoe—What age is the Lady ?
MI. RICHARDS—She is 35 years of age, a widow,
and hPS three children.

Q., What is the age of the boy ?—A. Between 17
and tB.

Loan Cmaircsixoa—l (hall confider whether or
not it may be proper for me to lay this cafe before the
Attorney General. Where there are more than one
concerned in any attempt upon a ward of this Court,
the offence is to confpiracy, and It is the belt way to
bring the panics before the Court of King's Bench.
I believe the Attorney General has already convided
fevcral perfons for a confpiracy to carry away another
branch of this very family. It is more for the advan-
tage of the Public, that when fuch a cafe occurs, I
mould not exercife my own juritchilion by committing
the parties but refer the fubjed to be confidered by
the higheft authority. In the mean time, to the in;
jundinn I do require the molt implicit obedience,
and the parties may rely upon it, that if they in any
refped interfere with the minor, I (hail not think any
flee in my power too fevere. It ii a monflrous thing
that a woman of 35 years of age. whore hulband has
jua died, and who has three children, fhould receive
the addrcifcs of a boy at fchool. It is really (hocking.
