NAPAL IAr7ILLIGBNCI.

PLYMOUTH, NOVEMBER IT.
We noticed the arrival here yesterday afteinoon of
the Aaapacket,taptain BRITTON) with a mail and
dispatches, in 14 days from Gibraltar, after a ♦ery
stormy passage :—We since learn that she was ex-
posed to a heavy gale off Falmeuth fsr two days ;
but could net get into that port. On Thursday last,
the 14th inst. she was chaced by a large armed brig,
supposed to be a French privateer, front which she
escaped only by her superior sailing ; but was driven
so much eut of her way, that she was compelled to
bear up for this port. Every preparation was made
by the crew and passengers to give the enemy a warm
reception, had they come near enough to render an
action inevitable ; and they were determined to re-
sist to the last, rather than submit to be captured.-
1 The Ann, as we have before said, brought no news
of interest of a more recent date than what had been
previously received. The _following persons came
jp.assengers in toe Ann from Gibraltar :—Mr. BAL-
RRAVE, Lady, and servant ; Mr. BORALK, Mr. Rosa,
Mr. Rico, and a Messenger.
Sailed the RESOLUTE gun-brig, for Cork ; la Rum
! frigate, for Brest ; OItESTES sloop of war, for Mil-
-1 ford ; FORTUNE) 18 guns, for Lisbon ; PIERCER gun-
brig, for Bisque Roads ; and FANCY cutter for the
same station. Went out of harbour to the Sound,
' the LEoNIDAS frigate; GROWLER and INSOLENT brigs.
The PELORUS) 18 pas, got under way this after-
noon, for Basque Roads, with the transport marked
B.K. laden with provisions under convoy ; but the
latter sprung a leak, and both vessels were forced to
put back. Shipwrights are gone off to the transport,
with two lighters ; and she now (4 p.m.) makes one
foot of water per hour.

DECISION or THE HUSH JUDGES

Ind hoped that Mouthy antaight, er at woman Eli-
totato next would be sx.ed for the Trial. •
After a conversation between the Counsel on lint' ft '
sides, the Court fixed the day for Thursday nest;
and the Sheriff, at the suggebtion of the Atto ney-
General, was ordered by the Court, to return a fon
Pannell.—(Debtta Evening Pus.)

INTIM DEMVRANIt OF THE CATHOLth DELEOATES.

We lucre this morning received sect nd Editions of
the Dublin Papers of Saturday last. They contain
the Judgment of the Coiut of King's Bench on the
legal objections offered by the Catholic Delega:l s
before proceeding to trial. The following acccunts are
taken from the Patriot aid from the Dafirs Evening
Poet.

The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE said, that as there were

Demurrer, he would notice them separately. In the
Plea of want of Freehold one of the objections a hich

In addition to the Five Cases already before the
Court, the Attorney-General has filed, ix !Po, In-
formati 'ns against the follinS-ing perms, outlets? :
The E:irl FinAali, for presiding at an Aggte.
gate Meeting at F. :.smile-street, oa this 9th hay.
The Earl of Fidgall (again), for th4t ile•heing
evilklisposed person, presided at a Cit,ll lic M.

ceerlings Gn the I st of August.
Thomas 'Townsend, Esq Barrister-at-Law, Pro-
prietor or the Corrroondent, fir publishing the
..s
proceedings.

he should first notice was, that the persons were not
known to be freemen, nor was there any proof that
the city of Dublin was included in the class of cor-
porate towns ; that the charter of the city of Duhl'n I
ought to be produced in proof, but in Hs opinion, th's
objection could not be entertained a moment. It
any proof was necessary to be prAuced, that the
Court WAS sitting in the city of Dubin, would not
Bills of Indictment found by the Grand Jury r f
the cif of Dublin, be sufficient ?—the Plea itself,
if not'Merv,ise supported, would answer this ob-
jection ; as recifng the Indictment to be in the
County of the City of Dublin. Another objec-
tion is, that they should possess certain qualifica•
[ions, as being proli et legale: heminee. The plea
makes but one objection, that is to freeholders ; they
h.tve stated no other cause of disqualification. It was
then the duty ei the Attorney-General to have
brought proof that these persons were freemen of the
City of Dublin, or that they were probi et legalet.—
They might as well have required him to bring proof',
that the panne' had no minors, a:iens, or outlaws
sworn on it. These objections cannot, therefore, be
entertained a moment. The objection relative to
freeholds is admitted to be a good one in counties at
large, but not cities or corporate towns ; but freehol-
ders every where must be ftreli et legalez homitser. It
is contended, on the part of the Crown, that fre2men
are firobi et legales, and that qualification is common
to all. We should have expected from such great
authorities as Coke, Hale, and Hawkins, something
decisive on this subject ; but precision of opinion is
not to be found in them. His Lordship then quoted
Hale 2. 155. where he says the Jurors must be free-
holders. This, he conceived, only referred to coon.
ties at large. His Lordship then cited Hawkins 2,
chap. 25, sec. 19, the 2 statutes of Edward, all which
made exceptions in the cases of cities and boroughs ;
he looked upon it, that misdemeanours were to be
tried by common law. His Lordship concluded by
saying that nothing had been advanced to warrant
the plea ; and his opinion was, that the demurrer
should be allowed.
In this opinion Judges DAY, DALNY, and Os-
ZORN! concurred, and delivered their opinions at
length, but we have not time to report them to-day.
As soon as the Judges opinions were pronounced,
The Arronxev GEN/MAL rose. He s tid, as the
demurrer had been allowed, he begged of the-Court
to appoint a day for the trial ; and al the traverser
did not wish for any delay, he suggested Wednesday
nest.
Mr. BURROWES for the Traversers, expressed the
wish that this Term should not escape without the
Trial going on, but that he had witnesses to summon
from different parts of the country, and that he hoped
the Court would allow a longer period thin the dal
snentiorked by the Attorney-General ; that as to the
delay it could not be said to have arisen from any
frivolous or unfounded cause, as must be acknow-
ledged, when !the solemn deliberation that was given
to the case by their Lordships was considered, and
the solemn manner in which they had delivered their
opinion seriatim. It was but an ordinary case, and he
hoped a longer time would be granted. He men-
' timed Monday se'nnight.
A conversation here ensued between the Court, the
Attorney-General; and the Counsel for the Traver-
sets, which ended in—Thursday next being appointed
for the day of trial.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then begged of the Court
to order the High Sheriff to return a numerous pan-
nell on that day, that no delay might ensue for want
of Jurors.—( Patriot.)

Middlesex Sittings, afier last Term, of a couspiracy
to defraud the Marquis of Headf.)rd ; but the Court
having been now occupied till twelve ticiock in jus.i.

TIIE ICING V. Till AI3CHIIISHOP OF CANTERBURY AND
THE BISHOP OF LONDON.

Mr. Ganeow moved for a Rule to shew cause why
a Mandamus shout! not i site these defendants upon
the subject of the Rev. Dr. Povah's claim to be licen-
sel as evening lecturer of St. Bartholanww's. It will
be recollected, that the Mandamus was, refused by the
Court in Easter Term last, upon the gronnd that the
Applicant had not exhauste 1 all his previous remedies,
there lying an appeal from the Bishop to the Arch-
b:shop. That aeplication ti his Grate had tow
been made ; and his answer was that he deened
interfering. Mr. Garrow had now his former affida-
vits' and further ones, denying the objections which
had been made to license die a?plicaat, viz. on the
ground that he had preached against the doctrine of
infant baptism; whereas it was sworn, that the ser-
mon elluded to hai directly the contrary import, and
I had
_actually produced directly the contrary effect
there being als: 01 three ieveral persons,
who s sore, that havile neglected to b iptize their in-
fants, they were so air:cted by this sermon, as to go
to the preacher in agility, bes:eching him to hap-
tize their children. Th.s sermon was offered to
the Archbishop, for his inspection. - There was .
anoth( r objection made to Dr. Povah,—that he
had read the absolution, while he was only in dea-
con's orders. If he was in error in thiF, he erred
under high authoriiy for Dr. Burn had stated
it to be a great question, whether the word print ap-
pointed to read that service did not mean. the officio.
ting minister. But the learned Counsel wis raisinglia
'own adversaries ; for he had never yet received an in-
timation of the Bishop's-ejections to Dr. Powell. The
Bishop had at first objected to him that be was in
deacon's orders only: he had since procured his letters
•f priest's orders; and was refined to be licensed.
The Bishop had again been ineffectually apelied so,
since the failure of the application to die Arci ibisbop.
Lord ELLENBOROUOII in granting the rule to shew
cause, after much deliberation, said, that it had better
be for each of them to examine, in order to admit ;--
and for them, or one of them, to licence.

Entwittaint, Novussmut 13.—Yesterday the Court
of Session met for the dispatch of business fur the

winter season.
The Judges of both divisions met in the first Court.,
when the LORD PRRSIDLNT took his seat, and addres-

sed them in a ♦ery elegant speech.
The second division then proceeded to their own
Court, when the Loan Junto{ CLERK took his seat
as President of that Court, and addressed the Judge,
of this division in a very appropriate speech.
Lord Woonadusacra took his seat in the second
division.
ROBERT CRAMP., Esq . took his seat at the Clerk's
Table, and is new going through the usual trials, pre-
paratory to his taking his seat on the Bench.
The following changes have taken place in the
Courts of Session and Justiciary since the Summer
Session : - - _ _ . .

1. 'I he Right Honourable Charles Hope has been appointed
Lord President of the Court of Session, in room of the late
Right Hon President Blair.
'2. The Right Honourable Lord Boyle has been appointed

6. There still remains a vacancy of one of the Judges of. the
Court of Session (Second Division) in place of the late Lord
Newton.
There is no instance in the annals of tha• net of
Session of so many changek having taken pine at the
same time.
On Lord BOY LE taking his seat as Lord Justice
Clerk, on Friday, his Lordship addressed the Court
in an elegant speech.
KELso, NovEstaxiL I I.—ln constluence rf the late
rains, the rivers Tweed and Teviot early this mor-
ning increased to an extent greater than has been
witnessed here for many years past. A great quan-
tity of lour and meal has been damaged and destroy-
ed in Kelso Mills. The Mill-ana was entirely
covered, as was also a great part of the road leading
to Teviot Bridge, and a piece of the new wall sur-
rounding Sir George Douglas's park there, was
thrown down, and part of the field inundated. The
water was at its greatest height abOnt four o'clock in
the morning, when it reached as high as the spring of
the arches of Kelso Bridge. It has since been gra-
dually decreasing.
BER WICK, Novrazzaft 9.—For several days past,
the tides were uncommonly high in this -neighbour-
hood, particularly on Saturday last, when it was so
high that it entered the houses on the quay. Wed-
nesday, upwards of 100 logs were drifted from the
beach, and the rail-way at Spittal suffered consider-1
abledamage from the violence of the winds Old waves.
INVERNESS, NOV V.IISER 13.--DIRT ing almost the
whole :of the last eight days, we have had tempes-
tuous storms of wind and rain from the east • and, on
Thursday and Friday, the tides were much higher
here than for some years back. Having been atten-
ded with a very high surf, considerable damage has
been occasioned in various quarters, and we learn, in
particular, that the north glacis of the garrison of
Fort George has been levelled to the ground. A
number oivessels, which had encountered much dif-

ficulty and damage, have fortunately got into Cm-
marty Bay, which has so frequently afforded shelter
and comfort to the tempest-tossed mariner in the hour
of peril and dismay.
MINNYHIVE, Nov. 4.—On the morning of Satur-
day the 2d inst. about one o'clock, the inhabitants of
this village were suddenly and most seriously alarm-
ed by an unprecedented rise of Dalwhat, Craigda-
roch, and Carsefairn waters. At 12 midnight, there
, was no sign of rain more than ordinarz. In less than
lan hour, however, all the fires in the houses from the
Post•office and downward towards the foot of Dun-
reggan were quenched : a circumstance which very
much increased the terror, not one spark could be
procured to light a candle—the scene cannot be de-
scribed. The screams of women and children, the
resolute efforts of the most vigorous young men, at
the risk of their lives carrying the aged and infirm to
a place of safety ; the sight of fathers labouring in
. the stream, and bearing up their infant offspring,
wre truly affecting. About three o'clock the water
suddenly receded, nearly three feet from its superfi-
cial mark, and in twenty-minutes after, it returned,
and had extended five feet beyond it. Perpendicu-
larly it gained 15 inches. About four it began to
abate, and at five it was to the ancles on the street.—
No-life was lost : a singular instance of particular
Providence. For, had the alarm not been given in
time, the amazing rapidity of the current must have
been fatal to many of the inhabitant's. There never
was any thing like it here, neither in the remem-
brance of the oldest, nor by tradition. A stone bridge
' of one arch at Terreran has been erased ; another of
two arches at Kirkland of Glencairn has-been swept
