-1- COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. PHILLIPS V. CHAMPION. This was an action upon a policy of insu- rance, effecttd on the ship Active, bound from this country to the South Seas in ihe Whale and Seal Fishery, with liberty to toudlat N. S. Wales, New £ -Io!!a;ul, &c. and the plain ?! If sought to recover all average or a total loss Mr. Serirant Best* haviog stated ih« circum- stances, oalicd his witnesses. The policy was put in and read, Wm."Mitchell proved the ownership of the vessel. Henry Ttirnbuli sailed as second mate in the Active from this country, in September 1808, and continued in tier oli May 1809, when site had arrived at Kent's Groupe, HI the South I They had then got between one atilt < 2000 seal stuns. VViiness was sent away from Mis to anotliKi isiandiu search ofseais Never tiir'i with or saw the ship again. He returned to Kent's Groupe, hlit '.he "e'is('Î wa'l ¡colle.- to Wti.stel,1) was iu March 1810) and found on that island a cluu, which.he had left on board Ihe vessel, and which tie had lo kill se*ls; he also found other things, which iefl him to conclude that the ship was wrecked. Witness af'erwards sailed I,) open boat from place to place, tmul he go, to the Derwent river, iu New iiolsand, where he and his little crew were picked tip by Governor Bligh. He afterwards learned that the ship made her way to Port Jackson, where she refuted, and went to sea wiin a fresii crew. David Lowiist.ou was engaged oil hoard the Active, and sailed with her HI March, 1808.— Tney met with heavy gales; two bonis were sent out in Boss's Sirails, in the South Seas, in search of seals; they went in Hearch of these boats, and went loVesterll Port Island in the hope of finding them while off' h- r-\ there were dreadful gale's, and ship was blown o. shore, and remained in that slate six days; she was at last got off; she was again, how over, thrown oil the shore, and was npsel; she was one day under -,Aater, but the crew at c length righted her, and one of the boats which were out jomed her, when they sailed tor t'orl Jackson. Much of the articles were thrown-overboard, and all the seal skins were destroyed. On the 4th of December they were refitted, and went to sea again. They got to New Zeala. d, where they found quanti- ties of seals Witness and seven men were put on shore on'I wo small-'islands, and the ship went away, leaving them on the 3d January, 1811. Siie was bound to the Northward, in (liHlovcry "fmore seals. She cayiie back on the 9!h of February, and landing two more men and provisions. There were then ten men left, and li e ship sailed for Port Jackson for more provisions and sait: she never return- ed again. Witness and his fellow jitiffei-ers were three years and nine months ou those de- solate islands They supported themselves I during that lime upon seals. A vessel after-j wardslvok wituess and his crew to Port Jack. son. He never heard any account of the Ac- live since that lime, and had no doubt that she was lost. Verdict for tlie plaintiff, to the amount of lh« iofal loss of the vessel, and on the average loss of the seal skins injured by the npsetting of the vessel. The princIpal witness in thiscase, who had so lot), resided on those desolate islands, is extremely ill from the effects of the severity of the climate. He said he could get no food but a few wild fowl, and seals. Himself and his companions clothed themselves in seal sksus. He was the only man brought to England. Them was an im- mense range of mountains across the island, over which lliey attempted to get, but were exlrausled before they reached the top. He left Ins companions in Botany Bay.

LONDON, MONDAY, DECEMBER 26k PEACE WITI-I AMERICA. SECOND EDITION. Courier Office, Four o'Clock. WE have just received infor- mation from authority, that Peace was signed with the United States of America on Saturday last. We received titts morning the Paris Papers of Thursday last. We remark in thetii the game confusion and uncertainty respecting the- negotiations at Vienna. The writers kuoSF nothing, or if they know any thing-, they pur- posely misrepresent the real slate of affairs irt order to give them a French bias and colouring. They affect to assure us that every thing- kii instilled aud..doubtful—that difficulties mul- tiply in the way ol the negociations—Prussia ef ns to he the Power that »cc«pieg the priu. clo"il. attei t oti of France, because she is tho Power upon winch mainly depends the fate of yiermauy. It she he strengthened by (he ac* cession of Saxony and other territories, France will have no chance of succeeding in any at* i tempt upon the security ot Germany; if she be left as she is. and the smaller Stales be pre* served. they wdí at no reltlote distane be sO many engines iu the hands of France. The j policy that iuduces the latter to take the part of Saxony is ciear and evident; but wecanllot understand the policy that induces others to < support the erfofts of France. The Ziti- oi
