There is a report, at present brought by a vessel
from Curacoa, that a French squadron had cap.
tured a packet and several vessels to the windward of
Barbadoes ; we hope the report may be unfounded,

It is generally, believed that BELLINGUAM will be
executed opposite the Debtors' Door, in Newgate ;
and it is to be feared that much mischief will arise
from the immense crowd expected to assemble on
this extraordinary and melancholy occasion. We are
informed that Mr. BELLINGUAM retired to bed before
I nine last night, but wasrestlessaud had very littlealsep.
I He complained of the cell being unpleasant to hiniorpati,
expressed an impatience for the arrival of Monditil
morning, when he said he should be relieved from his
I troubles, and he hoped to find mere peace in Heaven
ithan he had experienced in this world. lie requested
to know if he could have some tea for breakfast, ins
stead of bread and wa'er ; which could not be corn-
' plied. with. He was attended by the Chaplain of
Newgate this morning, and seemed perfectly resigned
1 to his fate.

The following is taken from a Bristol Paper of the
13th of May :—Arrived at this port this 'morning the
Edward, in 34 days, from New York ; the embargo
was laid on just as she was sailing, and she was chaced
five hours to bring her back ; about twenty British
r::sels were detained that were ready to sail.
Deputica have arrived, within these few days, in
addition to the others, at the King's Arms Tavern,
New Palace' Yard, where they meet daily, to oppose
the Orders in Council, from Warwick, Wakefield,
Rochdale, Bury, Stockport, Leeds, MaucheatOr, &c.

DUELLING.—Private information having been rh..'
ceived by the Magistrates at Bow-street, that GenL ,'
ral Braun and the Honourable EDWARD BL/GH
were going to fight a duel on Wimbledon Common,
warrants were issued against them, and LAVENDER
WAS dispatched to take them int* custody. lie "ap-
prehended the General on Wednesday, who was ad-.
mitted to bail, himself in 10001. Viscount JOCELYN
in 5001. and CoIoneI:JACKSON In in 5001. to keep*
the peace to the Honourable EDWARD BLIGHT, for
twelve months. Lairsnea did not take me BLIGH
into custody till Thursday, owing to his being CDR.
fined to his bed; but he was admitted to bail, him-
self in 10001. the Earl of DARNLEY. in 5001. and the
Hon. W. &ht in 5001. to keep the peace towards
R. &fen, Esq. for twelve months.
lIAYMARKET.—Friday evening the Haymarket
Theatre commenced the summer Season with the
Birth Day, in which MuNtem was received with the
most flattering applause, in his favourite character of
Captain Bertram. He was in excellent health, and
perforined with much spirit and feeling. A. Mr.
FLOWERDEW made his first appearance iu Frank
IL rtram, and seems well suited to characters of that
Alescription. The other novelty of the night was Mr.
Basxer, from the Edinburgh Theatre, in the charac-
ter of Jack Junk, who is likely to prove an acqui- !
sition to the company. MiSS.BELLCHAMseus was an
interesting Emma, and Mrs. GROVE was excellent
in Mrs. Moral. On the whole, the Play was well.j
performed. The Eutertaiuments concluded with
the farce of Killing no .Murder, the title of which
has been changed to Buskin and &H. MATHEWS
performed Buskin, aud. was universally aud de-
servedly applauded...,, .

at his execution.. The awful situation in which he
was placed was so sensibly felt by the unhappy.

COURT OF CHANCERY, MAT F.
IN TIM SATTUL Oa IMDZN D. TI UM THOMAS
COVX,ITRY.
•

Sir SAMUEL ROWILLY made a most forcible reply,
on behalf of Mr. Emden, to the previous statements
of Mr. Hut and Mr. Bell, the Counsel of Mr.
Coventry. The Learned Counsel commenced his
reply by adverting to comments made upon Mr. Ern-
dea's conduct, so liberally uttered against him, but
which certainly formed no part of the merits of this
case, ncrr was there any' very striking •;eculiarity in
this cast to require such allusions, as to which he
should only state, by way of preliminary, that as
much energy and exertion as his abilities could afford
should be used on behalf of Mr. Emden, as for the !
first Nobleman in the nation, in the discharge of his
professional duty, It wee a curious defence against
the bill of his Client, praying foe a specific per-
formance of a contract entered into by Mr. Coventry,
not, as was stated by his Couteml, without legal ad.
vice and assistance; for it appeared in evidence, that
Mr. Seaton, the now Attorney, and Mr. Phillipson,
1 the former Attorney, of Mr, Coventry, and also
I. Mr. Hubbard, the receiver of his rents, ax. in this
Court, were at that time his professional advisers ; 1
and that Mr. Lovell had, at the particular instance
of Mr. Coventry, exaniined the accounts betweea I
the parties, and that Mr. Coventry admitted the
justness thereof. As to Mr. Coventry's gradations
in the prisons of the Fleet and King's Bench, pre.
vious to his signing this deed,. so much commented
ea by Mr. Bell, he should reply by observing, that
it rather made against him, since people seldom
! come out of such places improved, but much dete.
riorated, is their morals. There was no defence I
made by evidence; but a cross-bill filed by Mr. Co-
1 ventry, for cancelling the deed, without examining
a witness, not even his former friend and agent, Mr.:
I Hubbard, then living, and now lately dead. As to
the ridicule made' about the killing a horse, worth *,
1161. in Mr. Coventry's service, the fact was so ; and :
1, if it was not so, why did they not disprove it ? Nor .
was his offer to allow Mr. Emden 1001. per annum
1 for his services, past and to come, at least ; and to
pay him the sum of 2,6001. actually advanced, prior I
to the execution of the deed, as well as a very consider• i
able sum since, which could not be recouped back by I
any action at law. being barred by the Statute of Limi-
tation, tht. deed hevingbeen executed in March, 1808 ;
I and so far from profiting by the agreement, Mr. i
' Emden was permitted to receive only one-half year
`of the rents, which was applied to Mr. Coventry's
own use. Mr. Coventry, by this deed, was entitled
to an amount •of 8001. a-year, secured to him by I
1 Mr. Emden's warrant of attorney, under a penalty •
• of 1,6001. and on the condition of paying each in-
stalment
within one mouth'after the expiration of i
each half year, or the deed to be actually considered
as null and void, with benefit to Mr. Coventry of all
advanced rents and resale of annuities • which deed
was kept by Mr. Coventry, and lodged with a Mr.
Phillipson, an Attorney, who now produced it for
inspection to the Lord Chancellor and Counsel, put•
suant to order of a former day. That Mr. Emden
had rendered many services, advanced eetisiderable
sums, as appeared by- his accounts produced, and
managed the difficult affairs of Mr. Coventry, ap-
peared quite clear, and was entitled to a fair and
, equitable performance of the contract, upon the set.
tied principles of equity in this Court, he argued
I most cogently, as he had no other mode of seeking
relief. In addition to all these reasons and princi.
pies, he cited the late case of a Mr. Sandys, decided
I by his Lordship, as id point; nor was any clause in
i the Annuity Act against it. •
1 The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, that so much
had arisen in this case since his first impressions up-
on it, that he felt the necessity of reading over aglin
all the documents and papers before he pronounced
i his decree.
