While on this station, uu thu night of the2td

(o ho with indefati.gable perseverance had, with
the Alceste, watched the Dort of Toulon) inform•
ed me, that the day before, Reversl of the etheesy's
squadron had put to sea, that others were coming
out when he left them, and, that there ICU every
appearance of the o bole fleet on the move
from the harbour: They had a numerous ion.
roy with them, dud as this movemunt was made
with the first of all easterly wind, there was little
doubt of their being buupd to the weitward.. 1

NACHULLS TX HASTINGS.

The Plaintiff, an Attorney, brought his action
to recover damages of the Defendant for an as-
sault, comn►itted under the following circu►nstances
—The Defendant went to the house of the Plain.
tiff to demand a debt, and thinking he had been
kept longer out of his money than his ought to
have been, refused to quit the house without be-
ing paid. lie was told that the Plaintiff was en-
gaged with company, and could not cunseaiently
pay him at that time. The Defendant, not antis-
fled with this excuse, said, " I'll be d—d if Igo
until you pay me." In consequence of this ob.
stinacy the Plaintiff came out, and, after some al-
tercation, the Defendant pushed him. It was corn►
tended on behalf of the Defendant, that the Plain-
tiff had adopted the custu:n of suffering creditors
to call often for their debts, and that he usually
treated theta as he had dune the Defendant. The
Jury found a verdict for the Plaintilf....Damag►s
one farthing, costs one shilling.

Tits Dispatches from Lord Cor.ttnnwoitn,
although, nut atinuuncing the destruction of the

grand French fleet at Toulon, will be perusal
with great interest. Wo have before remarked,
that the emergency must be great tJat could in-
duce the French to venture from a place of safety;
knowing, as they necessarily 'utast, that Lord
cULLINGIYJOD was in the neighbourhood. The

destruction of the small squadron and transports
which formed, as it should seem, only the ati-
vanced-guard of a mighty armament, consisting
of no fewer than near 170 transports, will pro.
bably deter the main body of the fleet from re-
newing so dangcrons an attempt. We have no

information from which the destination of this
armament can be ascertained. The relief of Bar.
celona, is assigned as the ostensible object—but
this we are strungly inclined to doubt. No Other
abject IsAs, however, been yet suggested. The
gallant manner in which thealestruetion and cap.
turn of the vessels that lied fur shelter to the Bay
of it:isas, reflects the highest lustre on the brave
men who had the "luck" to be selected for the ser.
vice. But all praise of the conduct of the British
navy is now superfluous. The habit of victory
leads our gallant SCAlliell to the attack with that
confidence which renders them irresistible. The
greatest source of grumbling in the Navy is the
difficulty of " 4 getting as" the enemy.
The patient perseverance with whichlaord Cur..
Lisciwoon has so lung watched the enemy, enti-
tle& him to the highest applause. The talents of

the Nublc Admiral are well known...and to
praise eh* courage of a British Officer, were ra.
they an aitrout thau a compliment—as doubtitig
the possibility of his beiug deficient hi that qua.
lily—but to the qualities of talent, shill, and
courage, mast be superaddcd, that of patience,
withoot which, the character of au Officer is kn.
rem. The union of these indispensible
this it Lord CoLusowoop, entitles him to sink
with the highest of our naval fammandlre.

THE FARCE.

Of the first Act of " Is lle a Prince" not one
syllable was heard--the second Act passed almost
without interruption, in consequence of the Pit
being emptied by the attendance of thly Oppuittion
at Bow-street. When the Curtain finally drop_
ped, the entire company of the Pit would not
have completely occupied three bettch:.s.
During the first Act of the Free " Rule Bri-
tannia" was sung, in which the Orchestra were
calkl on to join, in consequence of the success
of Lord Collingwood ; hut they did nut comply
with die Wishes for the cun.!tatoy.
" God Save the King," was also sting in the pit
between the play and the fares, at which, the or-
derly.; in the boxes, set up a general hiss. This
is the first time in our lives that we have ever had
c,e misfortune to hear this loyal and national
sung reedited silh expressions of disapprobation.
It is to be observed, that it was nut -rung daring
Cie play or farm on the stage; and consequently
not be opposed on the principle of inter'
upting the performances.
Although rturiog the last act of the Farce
there was comparatively little interruption, the
Coaspatty did nut pay the slightest attention to
the piece. The whole House was divided into
conversation parties ; io these many of the Order.
lys were so negligent of duty, as to join,
turning their backs to the stage.
.Daring the third act of The Exile, we were
witnesses to a curious dialogue, which, as it might
be difficult to narrate, we shall give as nearly as.
we can, in the words of the parties.
Professor Brandon (busing)—" How do you

MICfIoLLS V. *ZJIZAU.

This was an action of tresspaas; the case was
similar to the preceding. The Defendant, who is 1'
a stationer, had given the Plaintiff credit, and he
called on him for payment of his bill. The Plain-
tiff had sat down to dinner, and he was denied to
the Defendant, who refused to leave the house,
observing, " I will wait (or him until he returns."
The man who had opened the door, told the D.:.
fondant he had better call again, for the door could
not be kept open for his vie pore. The Defen-
dant then said, " Get me a chair, and I shall be
very contented :" he ids., said the man was a fool.
Soon after he had uttered the last expression, the
Plaintiff's family heard the Defendant run up stairs
crying murder! and having repeated the cry, he
ran out at the street.kiaor. For this trespass and
disturbance the Plaiotiff sought damages.
Sir J AMP MANiVIEGTO said, this cue is different
from the last ; Mr. Nicholls is at home, and the de-
fendant comes to demand payment of a debt. He
was at dinner, and did not like to be disturbed.
The Defendant told that the Plaintiff was not
at home ; he then runs up stairs and cries murder!
as loud as he could. IVhat did he mean by this I
Is a man to go to the house of his debtor and cry
Murd'er ? You all know what is likely to be the
consequence produced by this cry ; the cense.
(pence might have been serious to the women and
family of the Plaintiff. The Defendant does not
not put any justification on the record. His con-
duct is not to be supported. It is not to he sup-
posed, because a debtor owe, money, that his
creditor is to cry murder. The alarming of the
Plaintiff's children and wife might have been at.
tended by bad consequence. You will see what
I damages arc due for such a disturbauce, commit-
ted without provocation or blows." The Jury
found a verdict for the Plaintiff—Dail:lgs* one

This was an action to recover the Plaintiff's de.

to General Morgan. The defence was, that the
Plaintiff had only been employed to repair part of
the routs and that he had. taken off all the tilts
unnecessarily. It was, however, proved, that
the Defendant and his servants had seen the repairs
going un without stopping the workmen. It was
also stated, that the repairs which hail been done
were necessary ; and tinder all the circumstances,

S.ILISBURY, Nov. 27.

The detection of two of the men concerned in
robbing the warehouse of Messrs. Crosby and
While, clothiers, at Westbory, in this county, was
a most fortunate circumstance, as it appears they
had associates in situations which enabled them to
dispose of the stolen property without suspicion,
and c‘insequently their is.icketi traffic might haic
been cam, d onto a must ruinous extent.

On Wednesday, William Lloyd, a shopkeeper,
at IVoare, by A a aritl4e,Somersctshire, was brought
here by Rivet, the Bow.street Officer, and lodge►l
in Fishertou gaol, expressly charged with having
stoics' from the counting-house of Mr. Crosby,
eight ends of superfine Spanish dark blue cloth, of
the value of 1501. and iipuards, the property of
the said Mr. Crosby ; asi‘l two ends of superfine
English dark blue cloth, value (201. and upwards,
the properly of Mr. Crosby and his partner, Mr.
Thomas White.

0.1 Thursday, William Mac:irk, one of the
men apprehended at Exeter, wis brought here by
Mr. Sarel, High Constable of !hal city, and also
lodged in Fisherton gaol, di:trice.' with having
broken open and entered the factory of the above
Gentlemen, and stolen from the counting-house
or ware-room several pieces of superfine blue
cloth.—Lee, the other man, taken at Exeter, is
lodged in Devises Brittewell.
The above men underwent an examination of
two days at Westbury, before Thomas fide Phipps,
and Abraham I.ndlutv, Esqrs. two of the Justices
of the Pasco for this county.
Counsel attended fur Lloyd, who is said to be
worth upwards of 50001.
Part of the stolen property, found in Lloyd's
house, at Asbridee, was 9rodneed, together with
upwards of 60 picklock keys, fonts I on Hancock,
of a must ingenious construction, with which any
lock might have boat opened. Lee had 641. its
his pocket, and Hancock 591.
It is .said Lloyd has not always gone by that
name, bat was formerly known by that of Brown,
both at Exeter sad Ilribtul.

They are alt fully co.amitted for trial, at our

Thursday, Dec.2l.
EGERTON V. PLOWDIN.
Sir A. PIGGOTT was thisilay heard iu reply, in
support of the motion matte yesterday to dissolve
the injunction of the Coutl, restraining the sale taf
she '• History of Ireleusels'" published by Francis,
Plowden, Esq.
The Loup CuAtscur.r.bft, in giving his judg.
talent, said he could not get over the opinion, that
the " History of Ireland" was an abridgment of
the " Review of Ireland," published
by Mr. Egerton. What confirmed him in the be.
lief was the remarkable coincidence, both in the
language and letter of a considerable portion of
the Partner with the latter. However, the judg.
silent he should give must be qualified. That por-
lion of Mr. Plowden's book, which was alleged
to be theldracy of Mr. Egerteu's copy-right
might be su altered in the next edition, as to re-
medy the present objectkii to its sale. However,
in the mean time, the Injunction of the Court
must remain in hill turce usaitist the present edi-
tion. His Lordship said, however, it might be a
question fora Court of Law to determine, wile.
tiler the wort: of Mr. Plowden was or was not
an abridgment of the " Historical Review of
Ireland."

question to a trial, from which there can be no
appeal, have offered a premium of eight guineas

THY. STATESMAN.

' To the EDITOR of TIIE STATJSdfAN.
SIR-I have heard frequently suggested, since
the commencement of the present contest between
the Public and Mr. Kemble, the necessity of raising
a Subscription for the assistance of those who
have (in theit zeal in support of their undoubted
right, to give a voice in support of their opinion
in a public Theatre) had the misfortune to fall
under the sweeping fangs of the myrmidons of
Bow.strect, or have been deprived of their liberty
(in default of finding bail) by the malicious elle-
gatloni of a perjured Israelite. I have therefore
to request, that you will have the kindness to
name some gentleman of respectability who would.
be willing to take the trouble to receive subscrip.
tions for that purpose, as I am acquainted with
many gentlemen, who only wait fur an opportu-
nity of this kind, to advance that relief that is
necessary, and whose example, I have no doubt,
will be cheerfully followed by every person in this
town, whose feelings have already induced them
in the Theatre to express their sentiments 'of the
conduct of that Manager, who has dared to insult,
and attempted to pick the pockets, of a British
Audience.

We coincide most heartily and sincerely with
our Correspondent, who will not regret to see
that he has been anticipated by an Advertisement,
that has been sent to this Office for insertion. Vo
beg to observe, that the subscription will neces.
eerily be confined to the support and relief of the
oppressed individuals in confinement. A sub.
scription for that purpose is strictly legal ; but a
subscription to enable them to defend the prise.
cutbsns against them, would be illegal ; that would
be construed into whet is technically termed main-
tenance.

BRAYN V. MUNYARD.

Mr. GARROW stated this to be an sctinn
brought by a reputable tradesman at Greenwich
against another reputable tradesman of the same
place, for an assault. The short statement of the
case is this : A fire appeared at Greenwich, in
the neighbourhood of the Plaintiff's house, and he
was anxious to lend his aid to quench it ; went fur
that purpose thro' the passage of a Mr. Wright,
in whose premises the lames were raging. The
Defendintl a member of a volunteer corps, ser.
jeant of a grenadier company, forced out the
iu whiCli there was a considerable rough.
ness of behaviour • and the Plaiintiff wanted k
to be understood that he did not deserve this treat.
uient.

It appeared in evidence that the Plaintiff was a
respectable person, and that he came to this place
with the hest Intentions ; that he passed through a
passage into a back yard where engines mere play.
lug, 'and that he was roughly handled by the De.
readmit in turning him out; but the Defendant
acted under the orders of his Commander, who
had direeted.to be. 'kept clear the place in which
the plaintiff stood.

LOrd ELLENSCHIOVGII observed, that both the
Plaintiff Awl Delcudaat appeared to wish to ac 4

forthlrbest. .In ifis E a case u ON, men unlit
not be surprisbd when they are -toughly handled.
It was a mere mistake—it should be concluded
amicably. The parties had apparently no ill.will
towards each other, and therefore his Lordship
proposed, that they should withdraw a
.Juror,
and be friends again. A juror was withdrawn ac.
conlingly, the result of which is, that each party
pays his own costs.
