How;ever disastrous this-victory may. pro.vcd to the .Spanish Navy, the. National character, of. that country.has risen greatly m o.u r esdriration e ven-by their defeat. As ene-mies, though vanquished,, their gallanti-y cornrnands. the .highest respect; and;- tlie hu-manity with .which, every English, sailor, that fell into 'their, hands, .was-• treated, :ex« c^eds all praise. T.hcy.-refusedto consider as' piisoners of war, such of our officers-and men as were diiv-en on iheir coast in the captu red ships by the-v iolencc of- the storm ; every exenion was made ,from the shore 'to save their, lives, and the Spanish soldiers were turned out ot their beds to accommo-date our shipwrecked seamen, who expe-rienced every mark ol kindness and atten-tion that a generous enemy-could bestow.

The behaviour oi-the French, on the contrary, in several instances^ both during, and al'ici the engagement, forms so melan chofy a contrast to.the bravery and humanity ot the- Spaniards, that, as we have -felt: it our duty to render the latter. that applause which tlieir conduct so truly entitles them to, we think it equally an act of justice to re-cord itn pHi fial.by, the baseness of the French both to their, aliies.and toes.

VVe stated the e'xira.ordinaty, and almost incredible fact of the French ships, under a Real Admbai, who had no share in.the ac-iidn, having, iri theti flight, fired for some time upon .the S.antmima Tr.inidada, and

,vas. also j others of the Spanish prizes, after they had

wreck, and Incapable of resistance, th this ksi'tua'tidn- did these-dastardly Frenchmen, in

reienfre'foY the defeat they had sustained, a'ssaiik, and'trest with' 1 he utmost cruelty,

vi'ith every species of insult and inhu-man it jr, many of tlie unfortunate and de-fenceless English prisoners, whom the fury of the elements, and riot the fate of battle, had thus subjected.to'their power.

•;jjV:e sihcerely. hope that the officers and' crew 0! the frigate, who allowed of cot.n-mit'ted : this detestable act, will not escape with impunity ; in the mean time it gives

struck t.hei'r coloursto the English. We now find', frorn tiu-. t oncuri ing testimony of. se-veral Spanish; Offic.ej^ of rank, who were 011 'boaid tlie ships to u hit h we haveallud-rd', that Rear Admiral Domanoir was the peison who led on his division to the perpe-tration, ot this -bloody deed, so worthy the days of Robespierre, by which several hun-dreds of the Span,aids weie killed, and wounded-

Vve have already stated, that all the Eng-lish sailors, 011 board of the.Spariiili prizes, which lell into the hands of the Spaniards, were treated with the utmost humanity,, and

I -'fiot';.considered - as pi isoners how widely ilifferept the conduct of-the-Fi-ench...was, the lo.llowing i'lict will shew, v."

•On the;' surrender of t-be'Buctmt(iu^as\ ah Officer and a hundred-men were sent to take possession of her, who conducted them-selves with that mode-ration, and -forbear-ance to a vanquished -,enemy, which is'cha-racteristic of, Britons. The violent storm,• which so soon followed the ehg'a'gemeWt,-pi evented the removal of the piisoners, and drove the, Bucentaure. towaids Cadiz,-' .when the Frenchmen, from their superior num-bers were easily enabled to take possession'of the ship and carry her into the baiboui, where, however,' she was stranded, arid completely -Wrecked. The crew, and the party of Englishmen, weie ' tatlien' off the wreck by the'boats of one"of tH'e' French frigates in the harbour, . and carried 011 board of the French vessel, where, will it be believed-?.—the, infa®ous and: cowal-'dly1

crew of the-frigate- \w!Hcri:they sa'wsotiie of the gallant conquerory- of. their Admiral arid,' bis-fleet completely in their; poweij Unarm-ed, and exhausted with fatigue; arid ship-

real satisfaction to find, that orders are giv-en that no more of the French prisoners, now 111 our possession, shall be permitted to return to Spain upon their parole, but they aieto be sent to-England by the first oppor-tunity, "•.

A ll the Spanish prisoners, on the contra-ry, who have been brought to this! place,, to the amount of upwards of 3000, 'have' bct'ri sent back to -Spai n, except one'' wound -' edOfficerj now io the Naval Hospital) who'! earnestly requested to' be slloW^d to remain under the care of the English surgepns, till his wounds were cured.

We have also the pleasure to lcain, that the Spaniards, since their return to Spain, have universally expressed the liveliest sense of gratitude for the generosity and h-umariity tliey- invariab.'y expefieneed whilst they were.prisoners on board of the different En-glish men of war, where it seemed to bethe. study of the conquerors to taake them forget their misfortunes-.

• Indeed-our Navy well deserve tins tribute of applause from their enemies ; Upwards of a hundred of our gallant seamen hat-' :ihg peiiihed;, during the gale of wind after tlie action,-in their, generous efforts to "save file prisoners out of the different prizes.— To record: the numerous and singular exer-tions that were made on this occasion by all..the ships of the; fleet, would far ex-ceed the limits prescribed to u's': we cannot, however, pass over in silence, the het'oic conduct of Captain Malcolm and his ship's company,- in the Donnegal, who, at the im-minent hazard of being totally lost, rescued hundreds of the,enemy from a ratery grave.

T w o instances of the lrbbie humanity, shewn by this ship, vve shall mention.̂ — During the .-violence of the galej when she was riding at anchor near the Berwick, then iri possession of the English, soriie of the French piisoners on board the prize, in a-fit of madness or desperation, cut the cables of the Benvick, by which' mi?an-s she immediate-ly drove towards the dangerous shoals of St. Lucar then fo leeward, where there was hardly a chance for a man to be saved. In this trying situation Captain Malcolm, with-out hesitation, ordered the cables oi rhe Don-negalto be instantly put, and, stood after ihe Berwick, to which he dispatched his boats with orders first to save all the wounded Frenchmen before they bioiight off any of the English, which order was most punctual-ly complied with ; the English were next removed, but before the boats could return, the Berwick struck upon the shoals,' and eve-ry soul on board perished to the number- o f . three hundred. The Lonntgal with great difficulty weathered the shoals', and escaped, a similar fate.

The wounded Frenchmen, which' were thus saved, were supplied wiih the cots and bedding which were prepared for our own sick and wonpded , and, afier >?eing tieated with every kindness, and mark of attention, they weiesenf into Cadiz by a flag of truce with all the cots and bedding in Which they had been placed, that they might suffer as little pain 61- inconvenience as possible in their removal.

The other-instance we shall notice, was as follows-:' On th'e 2,6th of October, whilst the Donnegal was at anchor off Cadiz, in a

. violent gale of wind, with upwards of 600 prisoners-on deck, an unfortunate Spa'nish. prisoner ..fell overboard. ' N'orwithstaiidjhg the sea was then runni'rig so high, that: they had not ventured to hoist out a boat for 1 2 hours before, two sea-m'eri, belonging to the Donnegal, immediately jumped pverbbard

I after him, in hopes of saving his life, to'the ; admiiation ef the Spaniards, who Weie lost

in astonisliment at sb: daring an; act; The poor mah, however,' sunk, and was drovrri-. ed, just as one of the English scameri'had tnearly, got hold of •liihi j a bolt was imme-diately lowered,':3h

Plaintiff, observed, that this was a case in which most snot mous interest had been ex-torted from the Marquis De (jhambonas, and was equal to twenty times:, at least* of the jc-gal interest. It: had been endeavoured to flic this as a gambling.partnership, and equal share of profits; and, because -.of the mag-, rijiude of usurious interest charged, it might be supposed it was the case ; but lie would sHew the fact was otherwise;; arid, extraor-dinary as it might appear in this country, where a usurer never thought of taking Ifrlf so' much, yet he would prove it actually was she case. BC CASE. . .. • .... , /

The Marquis de Camborilas was tjr̂ n ex-amined as a witness, through t'h'e medium of am ̂ interpreter, and his examination lasted hear four hours. Ele stated,. that about •three years^go, he first kneKv the defendant in London. He/borrowed 500I. from him through the medium of; a- friend, whom ."he at first declined naming, but who aftei.-••aids, turned out to. be the Marq'uis de'Cbtehdeau ; for this sum he paid interest, at the rate'of pi, per month ; he also.borrowed 300I. for tbe loan of which he paid 5I. per -month.; be also borrowed of him ajoool., I , look•of which was in louis d'ors, for which he paid an interest of tool, per ni onth; he after: P'ards paid off some of these'sums, and there remained behind, in his hands, louis C'ois to the amount of i ,zooi . for which he

first at the rate, of ijo'.l. and afterwards 60I. pei month. There were other sums

Which he had from the defendant, upon the fi:me terms, not necessary to state at large.

On a very long and ardtious cross-exami-.E.auOn - by M r. ER s K 1 N E , be denied that ;gris was any thing of a mercantile specula rion, in which the defendant was to paitiu-;&aie in the piofiis ; he had been a'coiisidera-^ ille' dealer in' jewellery, "watches., trinkets, i jold, pictures, &c foi the- purpose, if pos-sible, of ,retrieving the property tie had lose r j; t'F ranee by the re vol ution, and, in order to j i»ay his creditors; he admitted he had gam-I Tied, in ihe hope of accumulating a sum of

-liney to dischai ge their demands ; he had %>t two bag^.of Jouis-d'ors belong'rngt'o' the --k-'"'!^n?rintonly one, containing' eight hun-• -/--' h he returned to the defendant, -i B he dfi.vir:.ri i;-:; would _ keep, theni ; but he t i,-niedfJia v i ng ad v ised- him not to; ca r. 17. * hem inritb'him ime- "the country; - he afterwards i mid thorn to a person- whom the defendant | ifiicvv. When he was arrested by the d'efen r j-anr, • lie ad muted, that perhaps he had-said 1 !• 'tiic-.soothing words to him, and made tpe iof some expressions of gratitude towards Itt'vm ; but, when asked, had he n.ot sappii-fjjfuced tbe defendant not to bring him before I trie Ma'fiistiaavin Bow-stieet JI-> a Swindler f he •started up in a paroxysm of rage and in-

. digrlation, and. addressing the . Court,. in broken English, told his Lordship, he had

it the honour to be the Minister to the late King of France,' and could nor'suffer such an in -dignity. He appeared almost overcome by

.his fee'lings, and. most iveheraently and po-: sitiveiy denied any such ciipunistance'taking'it ^ place. ' - ' ..

Josephine Mortea'11, the house-keeper of-the last witness, stated, that she was the per-son wb6 regularly, paid- the interest-; upon-these sums so- borrowed by the Marquis,-jvom the defendant;' and, in . one instance, .•paid x.i4k .which appeared to be the exact stipulated interest, for some of those specific sums. - _

M r . GARROW, on hercross-examination,

endeavoured to nmke. out as interest.- Afte? much argument; by the Counsel, Lord; Ei.-LIDJBOROOG'H Considered it an attempt to mix tlie matter ot a former c.ause by intro-' ducing irrelevant matter into this, which he could, by no means permit.

Mr. EJ^SKINE, then, for the defendant, observed, that.the General a n d M j f e f u i s weie both .men of rank ; and to which of them belonged honour and integrity, the event of the.present cause would determine. It the facts could.be true, on .the. part of the. plain-tiff, he niust be one o f the most exorbitant extortioners in the world. After some ob-servations on the evidence,.and the enormous expence of trying this action, which he stilted, was only instituted against 'the defendant to harrass and perplex him,: the real plaintiff, he said, was a-carpenter,' in Wills-street,. where the Marquis had; taken shelter, when he ran away.

Several witnesses were called to disprove, the testimony of the Marquis ; and among, others; , .

The Marquis.de Cautendeau, the persoh 'through'whose.medium the original 500,1, was lent, who s-.worethat.no specific su.m, of interest was agreed on for it, but-tlrat it was to rest 011 the honour of the Marquis Cam-bonas to say what the recoro pence-should be, in pi opof tion to the profits of the ..trade in which it was to-be employed. On his cross-

, examination, however., he admitted that 110 : half,' third, fourth, or any other proportion

of profits was,stipulated.; nor was any risk spoken of at the time of entering into the transaction:

Several witnessed w e r e a ' s b examined, who c-iniratli.cte.d the Marquis as to h,is sta'te-meiit of the expressions used by him i.ri .bis. conversation with tbe defendant after-his arrest. - , ,

M:. Ber.trand.de Molleville, .formerly Mi-nister of Marine in France, .said,thathe had frequent',v called for the Marquis.Chambo-nas, who represented himself to him as car-rying on,an immensely extensive and profit r able business. He has seen him surrounded with :heaps of guineas, great quantities of bank notes, watches, trinkets, miniature pictures, and otherarticles of vaiious kinds. That 011 inquiring how the profits arose, the Marquis, pointing to the guineas, told him , these had all come there probably within the last hour, and would be all gone, and a se-cond cargo be in their place before night. That he might have given about 6d. each for them.in change, and would make, of them, from is. 6d. to 2?. which.being at.the rate, of at least 5 per cent, for one day, was no trifling profit. The witness was.deceived by tilis story, and till the delusion was made manifest, actually thought'.that the M'arquis was engaged in a most, lucrative business. He-would not now believe him on his- oath.

, On his cioss examination, the witness ad-it mitted there was an action for usury, .similar

to the present, brought against-him, he hav-ing, as he described it, been also,one of the

.' Marquis's dupes. -.' Seveial other witnesses vvetc also eiamin-e'd toasimilar effect. •

T h e SOL r c i TOR. G-ENXR A L in reply, contended that one of two things must be ad-mitted in this case. Either, the money ad-vanced was advanced for copartnery:us.es> ill w iiich event it must be subject to every-risk, and-could only he a debt against the Marquis Chanibonas so far as the speculations had 'been "successful, which it was agreed on all bands they had not been. ; ot,. it was. a loan

tlie profits were to be divided. Here there ; was no given proportion specified. Tbe law-was jealous of allowing to usurious bar gins any subterfuge of this kind. The. statute therefore extended to any engagements made under colour,"or -pretence of partnerships. As to the words contradictory to, or incon-sistent with his evedince of to day, formerly stated to have fallen from the Marquis, they did not seem to mend the case, but still neated the money advanced as. being aloan- Though those who had made the loans to himj there-fore," might have done so in consequence of false pretences held out to them, or from be-ing deceived by,the belief, that tlie Marquis was carrying on a profitable trade in which they .wished to share,. still, in stipulati ng for a higher.consideration than the legal interest j they, subjected themselves to the charge of Vtsury. The only counts in the declaration, however, which came within the Act of Par-liament, as having taken place within i a months of tHe commencement of action, were the fthsSilrj and 9th counts, relating to. the 200OI. and the 17th ?nd iSth counts, which concerh,ed the 1200I.

The jury retired for & few minutes, when fliey returned wi,th a verdict for the plaintiff on these five counts.—Damages ,2,5,'iook

On the night of Friday se'nnight,'a num-ber of persons, many of whom weie armed, attacked the houses of a Steward and t enant living under Mr. Thomas Grubb, on part of the Common of Cloahiel} lately enclosed by that gentleman, and in a very, shoittime levelled.two" new slated houses, and pros-trated a considerable part of a new ditch erected there by him.

We had bht just finished the Contemplation of that/compound "oJ falsehood and vulgarity, BONAPARTE'S Bulletins, when our atten-tion was directed to another document equally replete with lies, libels, and scur-rijiiy'.—A more detestable production never issued from the pen of man.—It does not assume the form of a bulletin, but .of a letter said to have been- written from Vienna to a person of distinction at Ratisbon, by an ' eye-witness worthy of full credit.—We have no doubt it was written at Vienna.—-TALLEYRANO and MA RET are "there.—It is inserted in the Monileur of the 28th.—We shall only touch upon the heads of ii to-day.

The chief object of this ,letter is to create disaffection amongst fhe subjects of His IM-PERIAT M'AJESTY, to excite them to re-bellion, to'sow the seeds of discord in the Imperial Family, and to pave die ivay for dethroning the EMPEROR.—Ic endeavours to indispose the people against the Govern-ment, by aSsening, that the c'hpicb of the General to command the Austrian .army, in Germany was left" to Russia and England; and that they-apbo'inttd MACS.

As t6'the reported olfersbf the Russians fo capitu-late,, as stated in the Frinch Papers, Uie Conner of Wednesday last states, from authority, that it is inf'anions,, fo,gery, and says, that " there is scarcely a.word of truth from the beginning oi the Bul^ih.'i to the end.'"'
