LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF KlNc's BENCH, Dec IL.
S"t'ngs at GuAabaN, before lo,d Kenyon
and Lpeeal jury.
JOHNSON u. THoMPsoN.
l,he point at illue in this cauie is fcon-
iiderable confcquence to the mercantile
world, and has for fome months been keen
ly agltated in the city. The very fame
queitlon, however, was tried in the cafe
OF Johuion and Thompfon, of which we
formerly gave detailed account. 1t will
be fuiicient, therefore, to fay that the ac-
ton was brought on policy of Infurarce
on cargo of brimtone, which was conf
derably damaged during the voyage and
that the matter in difpute was, how the
average lois was to be calculated 1T was
decided by lord Mansfield, in the well
known cafe of Lewis v. Rucker, that ave.
rage loiies are to be adjulted by conGder-
Ing the price CT the article when found,
and when damaged, at the port of delivery,
and allowing the ahured the proportion of
the invoice price which thele two fums
bear to each other. But, till now it has
remained undecided, whether the grcfs or
the net proceeds are to be coniidered
whether freight, duties, infurance, cooper
age, llghterage, sc. are to be included,
or, regard is only to be had to the price
which the article would fetch, if fold be-
fore the matt.
The difference in the refults of the two
modes is very great, for there are nearly
the fame charges upon the unbound as up
on the found, and the proportion between
two iuns is materially altered by an equal
fun being added to or fubfraeted from
both, The gre6 price of the Toxnd brim-
itone was 2zl. per cwt. the grofs price of
the damaged III. the net price of the found
brlmttone was Il. per cwt. and the net
price of the damaged only IL. According
to the one made therefore, the underwrit
ers were bound to pay five evenths of the
invoice price, and according to the other,
only five twenty feconds; that is, about
23l. per cent. infead of about 76l. Mr..
Oliphant and four or five other refpeStable
merchants gave it as their opinion, that
the net proceeds alone hou!d be conGder-
ed, and declared that that had been the
confant manner in which they had pro-
ceeded in fettling average loGes. They
fated many advantages attending this me-
thod, and all agreed in faying, that it is
the only one according to which jufice can
be done between the parties. On the other
hand, MIR. Vaux, and great many mer.
chants not lefs respectable, depofed it to
be their firm conviction, that the fair, the
honorable, and the common mode of fet-
ting average lofes, is by conGdering the
price of the articles after it has paid the
freight duties, and all other incidental
charges.

an earneit deiire to enter into verbal expla-
nations on the 1ubjeet with (ome perfon
properly authorized on his maiefy's part.
the King willing to omit nothing which
can contribute to the great work Of retor
ing ioiid and permanent tranquility to Eu-
rope, has been pleafed to make choice Of
you tor the purpole of meeting M. Otto.
and OF receiving from him iuch verbal com.
munlcatlons as he may with to make in
addition to what has already ,paGed in wri-
ting, refPeeting the different projects pro.
Poted On either fide for a naval arm;3tice.
This letter will point to you the reaions
which induce his majeity to confider M.
Otto's iecond project as unsatisfactory in
all the material points in which it differs
from the counter project prepared here by
his majefy's command.
You will fate to NJ. Otto his ma;ehv,s
deciiion in this refpea, and you will enter
without reierve into the dilcuHion of the
grounds on which it refs. His naiehy
has no other object in view in this tranfac-
ton than to contribute to the reiforation
OF general peace. He is unwilling for
this purpofe, to lacrifce fome prefent adj
vantage, In the opinion that by 70 doing
he conlults the permanent intereas of his
people; but he can neither content, at the
opening of negotiation for peace, to
place h1mief in condition of inferiority
to his enemies, fuch as the refult of the
war in which he is engaged, by no means
warrants; nor does he think that the OBJ.
Jeet of peace itlelf would be promoted or
accelerated by rendering the Intermediate
iltuatlon Of his enemies, under color of
an armiftice, fuch as they might be deiir.
Gus to prolong, rather than to terminate il
by any admiAible conditions of peace.
His majefy fees, in the lalt project Of
the French government, little progrefs to-
wards an accommodation it is indeed
fated in NJ. Otto's letter to me of the
2Ift infant, that satisfactory explanations
are there given on the two mott important
points which had been inGhed on by his
majefy.
The adminion Of his majeAy's allies to
partake in the fame terms of the armiNice
in which France claims to include her al
iieS, Is lndeed not only an important,
but an indiipenfable condition of any
fuch agreement: but there can be no
ground for representing this equal and ne
cefiary arrangement as concellion on the
part of France, rather than on the part Of
his majeRy. And with refpeet to the
other point ftated by NJ. Otto THAT which
relates to the French fnips Of wary the offer
OF France falls very fhort both of the
kings demand, and of what would be ne
ceiiary even to aAimilate the naval armif-
tice to that of the continent. The article
In It's Prefent fhape is therefore 70 far from
containing any facility which would fof-
tenor remove the other obfaclcs in the way
of an amicable concluGon of this bufinefs,
that it fill mutt be regarded in jufficc
as an unequal and inadmifible claim OH
the part Of the kings enemies.

M

Note.
1t is by no means the with of the Britifh
government to prolong a written contro-
very On the circumstances to which the
firft part of M. Otto's note of the 2 I'd
infant principally relates it is however
neceiiary, In order to vindicate the accura-
cy to the former Placement which the un.
.deriigned was directed to make; that the
dates Of thofe facts lhould in reply TO NJ
Otto's note be more particularly detailed );
but this will be done without adding any
freih comment upon them.
The fr1t propofal made to his rnaielfy
on the part of France, for naval armifice
grounded on that of the continent was dat
ed Auguft ID.
The notices for terminating the CONT
mental armifice were given by the French
generals on the 18th and zeth of Auguft
the orders for that purpoie mutt therefore
have been actually ient from Paris before
the z4th.
HIS majef}y's anfwer was tranlnitted by
the undersigned to M. Otto on the Goth,
the very day on which the laf of the no.
tees was given in Germany. That anfwer
referred to the Aufrian armiftice as fill
exiting; and it was not till the 4th of
September that the frf intinaation was re-
ceived here of the meafures taken in Ger
many for giving notice of its termination.
With refpeG to the letter Of M. Tai
leyrand to the Baron de Thugut, to which
NJ. Otto referred, it was alto dated the
24th Of Auguf. The French govern
ment, 70 far from being at that time en-
titled to confder his majeRy's intentions
as hottie to the establishments of fold
ly1tem Of paci6cation, was then actually
in poGeAion of the notification given in his
majefy's name, through his ally, of his
readiness to concur in immediate neeocia-
tion for that very purpofe.
1t will be with real 'pleafure that his
majefy will fee the conclufions which ap-
peared to him to refult from thefe facts
difproved by the event. The beit evidence
which the French government can now
give Of the fncerity of its difpofitions for
peace, will be found in the facilities il
may afford for expediting both the COM
Increment and the fucceisful termination
of that negotiation into which the king
and his ally the emperor of Germany have
