The GEORGIA JOURNAL: AND • -* 5[ -a K. Independent Federal Register. .Ful. twice a week. ] Vol. I.] LONDON, September 5. JUGII COURT OF ADMIRALTY. DOCTORS COMMONS. Yesterday fir James Marriot, judge of the court of admiralty, lat by ad journment, when prize causes to the amount of fixty.eight were heard and determined. The ST. JAGO. This cause, which had been argued on the part of the raptors, and which had been adjourned to this day by fir James Marriot, in order that time might be given to the parties to al certain whether the court of Spain had adopted any regulation reipelting the capture of the velle's of allies, was again poflponed to tae next fit ting day in October ; the Spanish ambassador not having asyet received any answer to theexprefs he had lent off to his court on the occahon. A veil'd called the Hope, prize to the piivateer, the Loyal Anne, was among the lilt of condemnations this day ; the particulars as follows : A French merchant, M. Godfrej') brought a cargo of sugar, cotton, and coffee, from Cape-,Francois to Charlei Carolina, which he there iliipped, together with a quantity ol tobacco, the property of two other French merchants, on hoard the above prize for Bourdeaux. It ap peared, from the papers found on board, that the Ihip and cargo, being entirely French property, were tranl ferred nominally to an American gen tleman, in whole namethey were clear ed out of Charleston. The captain and crew were Americans. The French gentlemen, the real owners, were passengers on board the prize when taken. Sir James Marriot. was clearly of ©pinion, that the capture was perfectly conformable to the law’ of nations, and as such condemned the whole, for the benefit of the captors. FGRTUNA, Danish ship. This is a case of great commercial cor.lcquence to America and ail other neutral powers. The (hip was laden with wheat at Hamburg, and failed tor Brett, in the early part of March last flie put into Yarmouth on the 12th of March, where she was flopped by the pert officer, and the wheat taken out for the king’s use, and the current price being paid, the ship was libe rated. This application was made for the freight and cotts. Several affidavits tvere read to prove the ship and property to be Daniffi. The treaty between England and Den mark, in the year 1781, proved, that wheat was not an article liable to confifcation, unless it was intended for an enemy’s town or port, which was befiegcd or blocked up. In favour of the claim it was said, that there could be no mala fJis on the part of the Danes *, as they had put into an English port, being un_ confeious of any ill intention toward ; England. That his majelly’s inflruc tions to the port officers, particularly directed that the article of wheat was not lubjetfl to confifcation, but, on the contrary, that the value and the WHERE LIBERTY DWELLS, THERE IS MY COUNTRY.”— Franklin.

Sir William Scott, for the crown, argued againtt the claim of freightage# under this nice dittinclion goods, which are the growth and produce of Denmark, shipped in Daniih ships, if the cargo is flopped, the goods, toge ther with the freight, mutt be paid for ; but in this case the ship fails from Bergin to Hamburg, and takes cn board a cargo of foreign corn, avowedly under the influence of France, through the agency of a French gentleman, monl. Botie. The king’s advocate further ar gued, “ that by means of this mil chievous activity. Denmark would be carriers tor a 1 Europe and there fore he contended, that the freight and costs ought pot to be allowed. Judge Marriot f id, that it was, a case of infinite weight and confe cjuence. It was evident that govern ment had taken up this matter, by fir William Scott’s llrong oppofuion to the claim : the policy or impolicy of it he should not question. On a for mer occahon he had, tov many It TOlip reafonsy recommended the payment us freight upon A. goods that were not subject to but the privy council over-ruled him. He there fore thought, that as this was a case of such magnitude, that time mutt be taken to conlider it. . .
