I have the honour to be, & c. GEORGE BELL. To Sir Edward Pellem, Bart. Commander in Chief, & c. LONDON, SATURDAY, JAN. 11. A Hamburgh mail arrived on Thursday' and another yesterday. Among the articles and tbe fouth of the Tyrol will be added to the kingdom of Italy. This is not. the only annexation of territory meditated for that kingdom. Naples, as has been long fore- seen, will soon be melted down into it. A pretence is all that has been long wanted for that purpose, and that is now afforded by the landing of the Russian and English troops, with the consent of his Neapolitan Majesty. Private accounts from Hamburgh state the stoppage of two more houses in Paris, and one at Amsterdam. The houses at Paris are those of Hervas ( whose business was chiefly with Spain) and Perstade & Co. that at Amsterdam has long been trading under the firm of the Widow Croese & Co. Thursday dispatches were received at the Admiralty, from Vice- Admiral Duckworth, who commands a division of Lord Colling- wood's fleet, stating, that on the 25th ult. and the following day, he gave chace to a French squadron, of which, however, after a pursuit of thirty- one hours, he unfortu- nately lost sight. The squadron alluded to is supposed by some to be that from Brest, and by others that from Rochfort. If it be the latter, there can be no doubt of its hav- ing since returned to port.— The following note upon this subject was sent from the tronage with which they have been honoured, Mrs and Miss G. offer their grateful thanks. A FRENCH TEACHER WANTED, from twenty to thirty years of age It is expected, that she be a native of France. Apply as above. AVENHAM, DEC 21, 1805.

On Saturday the 25 th of January, will he published, and 35th bulletins of the Grand French Army. They are both dated from Brunn, the former on the 10th, the latter on the 11th ult. These, as well as all the other articles from the same quarter, confirm every thing which, in opposition to some of our cotemporaries, we have uniformly stated, relative to the return of the Russian Emperor and his troops to their own country. They commenced their march on the 8th ult. in three divisions. It is also confirmed that the pacific negotiations are going on between Austria and France; and Prince John of Lichtenstein and M. Talleyrand are the persons respectively empowered by the two Emperors on this occasion.— With re- spect to Prussia, it is dated that the con- ferences between Baron Haugwitz and the French Emperor have terminated in a most fatisfadory manner; and the Baron even boasts, after some fulsome praise of the Prussian Councils, that " no intreaties will be able to effect any thing against the good disposition and wisdom of Prussia." The German papers contain several articles rela- tive to the Situation of the Prussian troops, and the civil treatment experienced by the Grand Duke Constantine at the Prussian Court ; but the last accounts from Berlin, which are dated the 21 ft ult. state, that Major- General Von Puhl has been sent with important dispatches to the Emperor of the French ; and that there is no doubt of the No. 1. ( to be completed in Eight Weekly Numbers, price 2s. fid.) of THE ANNUAL REVIEW, And History of Literature for 1805, A. AIKIN, EDITOR. Contents of the first' chapter, the greatest part of which will, be comprised in the first number:— Rruce's Travels, Dr. Griffiths's Travels, Lindley's Voyage to Brasil, Collection of Cotemporary Voy- ages, Cair's Northern Summer, Mayor's Historical Account of Captain Cooke's Voyages, Beckford's Letters from Italy, Tour in Zealand, Present State of Peru, Beaver's African Memoranda, Tarnbull's Voyage Round tile Word, Description of Saint Helena, Mac- Callum's Description of Trinidad, Kotzebue's Travels in Italy, Michaux's Travels in North America, Sir H. Popham's Account of Prince j of Wales's Island, Sir G. Leigh's ditto, Clarke's Naufragia, Parkinson's Tour in America, Davies's Letters from Paraguay. Printed for Longman, Hurst, Rees, and Orme, Paternoster- row.. The Proprietors have been induced to issue this work in numbers, as it is printed off, at the desire of a variety of persons who admired its plan and execution, but to whom the perusal of a periodical number was more agreeable than tlie de- livery of a large volume'at one time; and also for the accommodation of many of their subscribers who have been impatient to receive their annual volume. To their numerous subscribers who reside abroad, or in distant parts of the country, the old method of publication will probably be more acceptable, and they are acquainted, that the complete volume will be published, as usual, in the month of March, price 1l 1s. in extra boards. This Review is distinguished from all others by its comprising in one volume, accounts of all the works published during one year; by which means the Editor is enabled to arrange the various publications into - chapters, preceded by an introduction, agree- ably to their respective subjects, and thus to present an historical form ;— a form the most interesting for perusal, and the most valuable for a book of re- ference in The library. object of his mission being the restoration of j code. peace upon a firm basis, in the mean time, the Armistice is laid to have been prolonged to the end of March ; and an expectation is even held out, that it will shortly be ex- tended to the North, in order to favour the views of Prussia, to re- establish a general peace. A treaty of alliance offensive and defensive, between France and Austria, is spoken of as not unlikely to take place ; but this report is entitled to no degree of credit. ' Bonaparte remained at Schoenbrunn on the 14th of December, but was expeded at Munich on the 24th, and at Stutgard in a few days after, on his return to Paris. On his passage through thefe two capital cities, it is confidently said that he will establish two new kingdoms. The Elector of Ba- varia is to be King of Bavaria, and the Duke of Wirtemberg King of Suabia. It has been stated for some time, that Bona- patte meditated some mark of his regard to these two Princes; but it was not thought that the business was in so great forward- nefs. The boundaries of the two new king- doms are already traced, and nothing will remain to be done on the arrival of liona- parte at Munich and Stutgard, but the pomp and pageantry of the coronation .. The kingdom of Bavaria will embrace the present possessions of the Elector, and be further extended to the north west, by " Admiralty Office, Jan. 9, 1805. i " On the 25th ult Admiral Sir J. Duckworth fell in with the French squadion, consisting of six sail of the line and one frigate, in hit. 28. 41. long 19. ' 37. which, from its superiority of sailing, being fresh ships, he lost sight of it, although at one time his own ship ( the Superb) was within six miles of the stern of the enemy, three of his own being at that time out of sight astern.— The chace continued thirty- one hours." Austerlitz, Dec. 7.— Napoleon, Emperor of the French, and King of Italy, have de- creed, and do decree as follows : — ART. I. The widows of the Generals killed in the battle of Austerlitz, shall enjoy a pension, for life, of 6,000 francs ; the widows of Colonels and Majors shall have a pension of 2,400 francs; the widows of Captains, of 1,200 francs; the widows of Lieutenants and Sub- Lieutenants, of 800 francs; and those of soldiers, of 200 francs. Our Minis- ter at War is charged with the execution of the present decree, which shall he put to the order of the day, and incorporated in the bulletin of laws. ( Signed) MARET. Napoleon, Emperor of the French, and King of Italy, have decreed, and do decree as follows : — Art. I. We adopt all the children of the French Generals, officers, and soldiers, killed in the bat- tle of Austerlitz. II. They will be maintained and reared at our expence ; the boys at the Imperial Palace of Ram- bouillet, and the girls at the Imperial Palace of St. Germain. The boys will be provided for by us; the girls will receive a dowry from us. III. Besides their names of baptism, and family names, they shall have a right to bear the name Napoleon. Our Grand Judge will observe, in this case, all the formalities prescribed by the civil IV. Our Grand Master of the Palace, and In- tendant General of the CfoWn, is charged with the cxccunon of the present decree, which shall be published ill the orcier of the day ot the army, and reported in the bulletin of laws. By order of the Umperor. MARET. A Lisbon Mail arrived yefterday, but it brings no intelligence. It was reported at Litbon that the King of Spain died on the 17th ult. We this morning received a letter from Lisbon, dated the 24th ult. of which the following is an extract .— If we are to believe this intelligence there is another French squadron out: " A Swede, arrived here, in 11 days from Cork, repotrs to have seen 14 French men of war off L'Orient, steering S. W." Accounts, we understand, have been re- ceived, which speak of a great shew of pre- paration again making at Boulogne, for the meditated or rather threatened invasion of some of the British dominions. We have, however, good authority for stating, that a great part of the floating craft in that har- bour, is already in no condition for sea.— Above fifty gun vessels, of the first class, have been actually broken up. If credit be due to the intelligence con- tained in the Hamburgh papers, a consider- able army was on the point of bringing back the French to the defence of the kingdom of Italy. Thirty thousand Russians and Montenegrins, and eight thousand the annexatiou of the city of Augsburg, the Margraviate of Burgau, Guntzburg, the Lordships of the Princes, and Counts Fug- ger, and other small States on the south of the Danube, and the Principality of Eich- stadt, on the north of that river. On the south- west side it will embrace the districts composing the Voralberg, together with Lindau, on the Lake of Constance. It is also supposed that it will comprise the north of the Tyrol; but this last point had not been finally settled. Augsburg and Eichstadt were both taken possession of by the Bavarian troops, on the 21st of December; and on the 22d they proceeded to Burgau and Guntzburg, to perform a similar ceremony. On the 20th, the Imperial Eagle, and all the other sym- bols of subordinaiion to the Emperor of Germany, were abolished at Munich, and the Bavarian arms substituted in their place. The new kingdom of Suabia is also fully developed in the German papers; and the arrangements were nearly complete, as the coronation was to take place on the 6th inst. at Stutgard. The present Electorate of Wirtemberg will be extended for that purpose on every side, including the Imperial posts of the Prince of Tour and Taxis, the city of Ulm, which is to be ceded by Bavaria, & c. At Stutgard, as at Munich, the Imperial arms had been taken down, and the arms of the new independent kingdom of Suabia sub- stituted in their place. The States of the Imperial Teutonic Knights, and of the order of Malta, will likewise undergo considerable alterations, British, are stated to have landed in Naples, and to have marched towards the Papal States. Massena detached a considerable part of his force to oppose them, which was perhaps the reason he did not follow up the Archduke Charles with the vigour that he otherwise should. The principal question in regard to the affairs ot the Continent, now is, what part Prussia will act ? It seems to be pretty certain that the Emperor Alexander had authorized his brother, the Grand Duke Constantine, to offer to the King of Prussia all the troops which had come to assist the Emperor Francis. Till the King of Prussia adopts a final resolution, it is even said that those troops will halt in Silesia. The Em- peror Alexander himself, however, has returned to St. Petersburgh. A variety of reports obtained circulation yesterday in the city. Among others it was stated, that the King of Prussia had caused to be intimated to Lord Cathcart, that he could not promise protection to the British troops in the north of Germany ; and that the Archduke Charles had been solicited by the Austrian army, to declare himself Em- peror of Germany.— Neither of these reports, however, we believe, rest upon any good foundation. Mr. Pitt left Bath yesterday on his return to London. He will travel by easy stages. We are happy to say, that he, is in a con- valescent state, and his medical friends be- lieve that, by the meeting of Parliament, he will be able to discharge his official duties. The Diana packet, with- a mail from Ja- maica, is arrived at Falmouth ; she sailed on the 18th of November. The letters will be delivered on Monday. The Diana frigate, and the Pelican sloop of war, sailed from Jamaica on the 2d pf November, with a fleet for England. On the', 34th, in lat. 19. 11. N. the packet spoke, the Pitt, passed the sternmost ship of a fleet, supposed to be the above mentioned ; left the Speedwell merchant ship, at Crooked Island on the 9th December. , Among the several Naval Officers who went from the Admiralty on Thursday to the Procession, were Admirals Lord Hood, and Radstock ; Sir John Orde, Sir Isaac Coffin, Sir Roger Curtis, Sir W. H. Douglas, and Sir E. Naylor, Baronets; Taylor, Whitshed, Nugent, Wells, Drury, Domett, Harvey, Murray, Aylmer, Hamilton, and Caldwell; Captains Hardy, Rotheram, Bayn- tom, Durham, Moorsom, Sir J. Hood; Woolley, Hotham, Cunningham, Abdy, Dilkes, Sutton, and Warre; with several Lieutenants, some of whom were compelled to walk to St. Paul's, there not being car- riages ready for their conveyance. Num- bers of the Officers, who were in the car- riages to form the procession, had been in them from seven o'clock in the morning, and none later than nine. Lord Hood, on leaving St. Paul's, was under the necessity of waiting nearly two hours, until a post- chaise could be obtained for him, in which he immediately set otf for Greenwich. It was estimated that not less than from 20 to 30,000 were present on this highly interesting, this powerfully impressive, oc- casion. In the procession there were, ac- cording to the calculation we were enabled to form of it as it passed us, Gentlemen and Esquires, about 200, of Members of the House of Commons about 60, of Peers about 40, Of these there were seven of the Royal Family, and five of the Ministry, only one of whom, however, took any place in the procession. The number of Naval Officers exceeded a hundred; the military were about 50, and there were nearly an equal number of clergymen. Mr. Fox and Mr. Windham walked to- gether, as did Lord Henry Petty and Lord Holland, Lord Moira and Lord Suffolk, and Mr. Sheridan and Colonel Legh. Among other persons of distinction noticed— the Dukes of Norfolk, St. Alban's, and Montrose; Earls Darnley and Dart- mouth; Messrs. H. C. Combe; William Long, and H. Tierney. The Duchess of York was the only female branch of the Royal Family present; her Highness arrived about half past twelve o'clock. When the Duke of Clarence ascended the steps of St. Paul's, he suddenly stopped, and immediately took hold of the colours that were borne by the Victory's men, and after Conversing with one of the gallant tars, he suddenly burst into a flood of tears. On the entrance of the tattered flags within the communion rails at St. Paul's, on Thursday, his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, after conversing with the Duke of Clarence, sent and requested they might be brought as near the grave as possible; and on observing them, although at a distance, the tears fell from the eyes of his Royal Highness. Admiral Vilieneuve's Captain was allowed to come to town, to see the funeral pro-- cession of the illustrious Nelson. ' The speech of Sir Isaac Heard, Garter King at Arms, in announcing the slyle and titles of the deceased Lord Nelson, had an impressive effect, from the articulate and pathetic manner in which it was pronounced. The words are nearly as follow .-— " Thus it hath pleased Almighty God to take, out of this transitory life, unto his divine mercy, the Most Noble Lord Horatio Nelson, Viscount and Baron Nelson of the Nile, and of Burnham Thorpe, in the County of Norfolk, Baron Nelson of the Nile, and of Hilborough, in the same County; Knight of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath ; Vice- Admiral of the White fquadron of the fleet, and Com- mander- in Chief of his Majesty's ships and vessels in the Mediterranean : also Duke of Bronte, in Sicily; Knight Grand Cross of the Sicilian Order of St. Ferdinand and of Merit ; Member of the Ottoman Order of the Crescent; Knight Grand Commander of the Order of St Joachim ; and the Hero who, in the moment of victory, fell covered with immortal glory !— Let us humbly trust, that he is now raised to bliss ineffable, and to a glorious immortality !" The following are the increased pensions for the widows of naval officers:— Widows of Captains, three- quarter Post, Sol. per annum. Captains less than three- quarter Post, 70I. per annum. Commanders, and Lieutenants retired with the rank of Commanders, 60I. per annum. Lieutenants, Masters, and Surgeons, 40I. Pursers, 30I. Boatswains, Gunners, Carpenters, and Hospi- tal Mates, who die abroad, 25I. Widows of Officers of Marines, who die in full pay— Colonels, 80 ; Lieut.- Coloneis, 50I.; Ma- jors, 40I. ; Captains, 30I.; First Lieutenants, 20l. and Second Lieutenants, 20I. There is a coincidence which we believe has not been noticed, that the numerical loss of ships by the French was precisely the same at the battles of the Nile and of Trafalgar. In the former action the French lost eleven ships, and two were afterwards captured in attempting to escape; at Tra- falgar, they lowt nine, which, with the four taken by Sir Richard Strachan, makes the number amount, as in the former instance, to thirteen. Should the Brest fleet come on, we doubt not but Admiral Cornwallis will make sure of another baker's dozen! WEDNESDAY'S MAIL. LONDON, MONDAY, JAN. 13. BY the Jamaica Mail arrived this day some accounts are said to be received, which represent the principal Chiefs in St. Domingo as opposed to each other in open warfare, between whom some battles have taken place that have been attended with horrid carnage.— The French army which remains in the island, it is understood, is in daily expectation of a strong reinforcement from Europe. Saturday the letters by the Lisbon Mail were delivered from the Post Office.— The Spanish Government is reduced to a state of the greatest embarrassment to furnish an immediate supply : a Bull has been obtained from the Pope, authorising the King to sell church property to a certain amount. The Prince of Peace has sent orders to the different ports to equip a fleet of 25 fail of the line, to be ready for sea by the end ' of March ; but the arsenals are unprovided with stores, even for the refit of the vessels which escaped destruction off Trafalgar. Admiral Gravina was not expeCted to re- cover from the wounds he received on the 21st cf October;— his arm was to be ampu- tated, but his reduced state had rendered it necessary to delay the operation. Admiral Sir J. B. Warren sailed on Sun- day from Portsmouth, with seven sail of the line, two frigates, and one sloop ; he is ex- peCted to be followed by other vessels. His destination is not certainly known ; probably he goes in quest of some of the straggling squadrons of the enemy. The Frisk cutter, charged with dispatches for Admiral Cornwallis, on Thursday last returned to Plymouth, having cruized off Ushant, and to the westward, for feveral days, without seeing any of our ships. The Admiral has returned to Falmouth with seven sail of the line, and some others of his ships have made Torbay ; but we are led by a letter from Plymouth to hope, that a squadron from this fleet has been detached to the fouthward in quell of the enemy. Admiral Kickhert, we find, has been called upon by the Dutch Government, to account for his extraordinary letter, lately fent to this country in an open boat. De has stated in his justification, that, the con- tents of the letter were considered true al the time, and that he sent it merely in re- taliation upon the English Admiral, who had previously sent him intelligence in fa- vour of England The Dutch caused the Minister ot Marine, in consequence of that circumstance, to forbid the sending in fu- ture. of any flag of truce, merely for the purpose of communicating political intelli gence. The Elector of Wirtemburg has pub- lished at Stutgard, several Official Papers, which, to the French at least, and to his own subieCts, perhaps even to the allies, afford a satisfaCtory explanation of his late conduct in the war.— His subjects frustrated his wishes to take sensonably that part which he then judged to be most for his own honour and their interest. His hands were held in a manner, tied, till the French had entered his territories, taken his capital as if by storm, and even threatened his per- lonal residence and his family. Bonaparte then guaranteeing to him the independence and integrity of his dominions, compelled him to engage to furniih to the French arm) 10.000 auxiliary troops, with 1000 horses. The Elector was then obliged to submit the demands of Bonaparte to a Com- mittee of the States of the Electorate.— They acquiesced in every thing. The Mameluke Rustan, the great favou- rite of Bonaparte, was killed in the battle of the 2d. Should Bonaparte return to the coast, with his menacing legions, we will be ready to meet his menace. Let us recolleCt the words of our dear departed hero, who never encouraged gloom or depondency, or libelled. his country, by supposing it in- capable of fighting the enemy single handed. At a dinner given him by the Corporation of Monmouth, on ihe 19th of August, 1802, the illustrious hero thus expressed himself: " Gentlemen, I shall speak to you as an Englishman : If ever war was again to take place, I would fend every ship, every regular soldier, out of the kingdom, and leave the nation to be protected entirely by the courage of her sons at home. I remember in the year 1759 there were great threats of a French Invasion : but all reasonable men only smiled at the idea of such an attempt. Supposing the French were to land in England; what might be the consequence ? They might plunder and destroy a village; they might burn Monmouth ; but I will engage for it they never went as far as Hereford, for they would always find Britons ready to re- ceive them. , , " In the histories of all the Kingdoms and States, that. I have read, it was the want of unanimity among themselves that produced their fall ; that alone will be able to effect the overthrow of our own ; for so long as the people continue to unite hand and heart ( as we have feen on the late threatened Invasion by the French) we have nothing to fear, either from their efforts, or from those or ALL THE WOULD UNITED AGAINST US" The late funeral ceremonial was closed in St. Paul's exactly at half past six o'clock. The coffin of the gallant Hero, we under- stand, is not to be interred, but being placed in another durable coffin, prepared with a composition of metals, is to be inclosed in an open sarcophagus, and protected by an iron ' lattice work, so as always to be visible in the vault. Great numbers of persons continue daily to flock to St. Paul's, to see the scaffolding erected on the late solemnity. The Vergers, who receive a shilling from each person, are dated to have collected 20001. on this occa- sion. The amount of the late subscriptions to the Patriotic Fund was, on Saturday, 104,0001. of which sum, 64,0001. had been collected at churches and other places of worship. The British Navy.— The total number of ships of war now in commission is 729, of which 127 are of the line, 19 from 50 to 44 guns, 150 frigates and 431 sloops. Besides there are several ships building, repairing, & c. which make the total amount of the British Navy 945 ships, of which 201 are of the line, 42 from 50 to 44; 204 frigates, and 408 sloops.. The following accidents, which occurred on Wednesday during the funeral proces- sion, we have heard of:— A boat, having 0n board four persons, sunk in the middle of the river, above Westminster- bridge, and, notwithstanding the exertions of different persons in other boats, three of them sunk to rise no more. The person who was laved, was in too senseless a state to articu- late who the parties were, and that faCt has not yet reached us. A young woman, of the name of Miffin, the wife of a carpenter in Shoe- lane, was walking on a plank between two lighters, one end of which gave way, and the other end precipitated into the water; it is shocking to relate, that she met the fame fate, with her infant, as the former three, and the bodies were not found. An elderly woman was knocked down in the Strand, on the same day, by an Hackney coach, during the fall of hail, while the was crossing the street; her skull was dreadfully fraCtured, and there were no hopes of her surviving. A child of three years old met with a similar accident near Exeter Change, and both its legs were broken. Princess Sophia of Gloucester, it is said, is to be created a Peeress in her own right. The fashionable world have acknowledged her Highness has been for some time a Peerless Lady. Two young ladies of fortune eloped from the neighbourhood of Walworth last week, with two old gentlemen at least treble their age. Such appears to be the rage of the present day ! In a circular letter of Loid Hawkesbury demanding the enforcement of the Addi- tional Force Act, his Lordship says :— " Upon a careful inspection of the number of men raised by the respective counties under the Additional Force Act, it appears that, out of the 94 counties , and places considered as counties, under the Militia Laws, of which Great Britain is composed, 3- 5thsof the whole number of men raised by Parish Officers have been furnished by ten counties, and those 0n an average not peculiarly favourable to the levy of men for military service; that above 5- 6ths of the whole have been supplied by twenty counties, and that of the remaining seventy- one counties, twenty- one have not found a single man by their Parish Officers." Additional Bounty to Recruits.—- His Ma- jesty has been graciously pleased to direct, that all former schedules of levy- money for Recruits ( men and lads) inlisted in the United Kingdom for unlimitted service, shall be cancelled; and that from hence- forth, the levy money for the cavalry shall be raised to 19I. and the Infantry of the line and general fervice to 221. 8s. The levy- money for boys, for general service, is to remain as formerly specified, 101. 15s. Volunteers for a limitted service to be allowed ten guineas, on being approved at the head- quarters of the regiments at which they volunteer for general service, of which one guinea, is to be given to the bringer. When the Volunteer offers the extension of his services, without the in- terference of a bringer, he himself ( after the completion of his regimental necessaries) is entitled to the whole of the above bounty. The Foreign Journals state, that the Spa- nish Government has ordered fifty new ships of the line to be fitted out immediately.— Such an order is easily given— but when will it be obeyed ? During the tremendous storm of wind, rain, and hail, with which the metropolis was visited about four o'clock 011 Friday morning, several vivid flashes of lightning were seen, but the thunder was not loud : several very fine trees were blown down in St. James's Park, and numerous houses were stripped of their tiles, and fell with a frightful crash into the street.— The neigh- bourhood of Finsbury square was for a few seconds illuminated with a fiery meteor, which made an awful appearance, and very seriously alarmed many of the inhabitants. The following is the copy of a letter received from Captain W. T. Lake, of his Majesty's ship Topaze, dated " St. Michael's, Dee. 18, 1805. " Having escorted the West India convoy which sailed from Cork, the 28th of October last, under the Fisguard and Wolverine, as far as the Trades, I think it may he satisfactory to many, to be made acquainted with tiie following particulars: — " The night the convoy left Cork, the weather was such that it separated; they afterwards, how- ever. assembled at tiie first rendezvous, Madeira. — After beating several days between that island and Porto Santo, a slant of wind enabled us to get some southing ; but although the Fisgard's rate of sailing during the night was such ( with a dis- masted ship in tow) that no ship could possibly have parted, had there been attention, there was a deficiency of near seventy sail: Captain Bolton, judging they might have proceeded to Funchall, detached the Wolverine thither. Two days after we gained intelligence of the Rochfort squadron being to the southward of us, upon which we steered to the westward, aud succeeded in avoid, ing the enemy, On the 6th of December, a brig was spoke from Madeira ; she gave us the pleasing intelligence, that the Wolverine left the island with nineteen sail of the convoy; that she had collected these after receiving Capt. Bolton's ac- count of the French squadron, by a vessel that he had immediately dispatched for the purpose ; and as they were ordered to keep well to the westward, 1 have no doubt of their being safe. There were twenty- three sail ( a list of which I subjoin) with the Fisgard, when 1 parted company on the 9th of December, in 1st. 2j. 47. long. zz. 35. at which time they had a fine breeze easterly.

The recent Mails from the Continent liave disap- pointed our hopes of authentic communications as the conditions of the Armistice of Austerlitz, and of other important arrangements connected with that event. Although tho retreat of the Russians from Moravia is confirmed, yet the movement is neither general, nor does it justify the statements which have appeared in the French papers on the occasion. The Archduke Chafles has, in the Gazette of Goritia, contradicted the assertion, and fabricated correspondence published by the French Marshal Davoust, relative to the pretended neutrality of Hungary. He declares the Hungarians to be ani- mated by the most affectionate devotion to their Sovereign, and to be crowding to their standards. Montholon, stepson to Seinonville, and Adjutant to General Berthier, carried to the Hague the pro- ject of the peace between Austria and France.— Count Haugwitz affectnd a disposition to interfere in the negotiations at Nicolsburg, but Bonaparte declared, that Austria should stand alone in the dis- cussion. Extraordinary levies were making in Italy on the 6th ult. to oppose the Allied Forces advancing from the South. The Viceroy had reviewed the Army of Reserve, which had broken up to supply the operations of General St. Cyr. The Prussian Major, Kiusemark, arrived at Ha- nover on the night of the 23th ult. with dispatches from Berlin; the contents of which were im- mediately communicated to the Commanders of the Allied Forces. Gen. Tolstoy, on rlie day follow- ing, set off for Lunenbutg, to hold a conference with the King of Sweden ; Lord Catheart and Ge- neral Don were to follow, when artangements for carrying on the campaign, or for the abandonment of the country, were to be adopted. A letter from Prague of the 24ih ult. asserts, in decided terms, that the Russian troops retiring from Moravia, are to remain on the frontiers of Russia, and that the corps of Generals Bennigsen and Essen will continue in Silesia— The Emperor Alexander, it is said, is determined on the Vigorous prosecution of the war, and has left the theatre of action only with a view to return to it with increased power. The birth- day of the Emperor Alexander has been celebtated at the Prussian Court with uncommon splendor.— The King, Queen, and Royal Family, the Grand Duke Constantine, Lords Gower, Har- rowby, and Harrington, the Elector of Hesse, the Prince of Orange, Baron d'Arnifeldt, and most cf the illustrious strangers now at Berlin, were present. After the feast, the King of Prussia proposed the health of his great and glorious ally, Alexander the First, and the toast was drank with enthusiasm. The ci- devant Grand Duke of Tuscany, brother to the Emperor Francis the Second, and now Elec- tor of Saltzburgh, has desired his Minister to petition Napoleon to remit the contribution of 6,800,000 francs, demanded of his territories.

TO those afflicted with this disorder, W. MINSHULL, Printer of this Paper, with confidence recommends the use of Dr. Taylor's Remedy, which, when applied agreeably to the printed directions, seldom fails of restoring the hearing. Many persons in this town and neigh- bourhood, who have received benefit, have given W. Minshull permission to refer inquirers to them. He respectfully submits the following extract of a letter, which he sent to the proprietor, on the 8th Nov. " An elderly gentleman, of this town, called upon me a few days ago, and said, that he pur- chased a bottle at rny medicine warehouse, two years ago, which completely cured him ; but hav- ing lately caught cold, a trifling deafness had fol- lowed, which he had no doubt a part of a bottle he then bought would entirely eradicate." The above esteemed Remedy may be had, price 8s. 6d. a bottle, with plain directions, of W. MINSHULL, Printer of this Paper, A. Fos- ter, Kirkby Lonsdale; and W. Addison, Preston, FRIDAY'S MAIL. PROM THE LONDON GAZETTE. Admiralty- Office, Jan. 11, Copy of a letter from Lieutenant Smith, trans- mitted by Vice- Admiral Dacres. Maxiamne schooner, Balixe, Sept. 4, 1804. SIR, IBeg leave to acquaint you, that in pursuance of your orders, 1 proceeded with the schooner you placed under my command to the Southward ; and, while cruizing on that station, and off the Island of Ponacca, received information from the Carib- bean fishermen, that a guarda costa was at anchor tinder the batteries of Truxillo, and that she had lately captured, and carried into that port, the schooner Admiral Duckworth, of Jamaica, with another vessel, name unknown, from Honduras; I therefore maturely considered the incalculable injury, such a vessel might cause to the settlement, and conceiving it a duty incumbent on myself to prevent, if possible, further depredations, sum- moned the people aft,' and, on my stating the case to them, they very readily volunteered to make an attempt to cut her out.— Accordingly, on the even- ing of the 13th ult. I stood over, under cover of the night, for the harbour of Truxillo, and got well into the bay without being discovered, when I manned two small boats, with six men in each, undercharge of Mr. Walker, Boatswain, in the one, and Mr. Bowler, Midshipman, in the other, with directions to pull in close along shore, and examine if our information was correct, standing in, at the same time, with the schooner to cover the boats, if occasion required. Shortly after we got in sight of the vessel we were in pursuit of; which was immediately boarded with great bravery by the boat's crew under charge of Mr. Bowler ( the other, from pulling heavy, not being able to get up), and, after some resistance from the people on deck, they very gallantly got possession of her, the Captain and others jumping overboard; the noise this contest occasioned, alarmed the Forts, which opened on us a heavy fire. The cables were then cut, and sail made, the Forts keeping a con- tinual fire on us till out of gun- shot, which was returned from both vessels. She proves to be La Caridad Perfecta, schooner- rigged, copper- bot- tomed, and pierced for 16 guns, but mounted only with 12, and had on board but 15 men, the re- mainder of her complement being on shore at the time. I am happy to add, that in performing this service no person has been hurt. I have the honour to be, Sec. ( Signed) JAMES SMITH. [ The Gazette, also contains letters from Vice- Admiral Dacres, announcing the capture of the Spanish packet El Galgo, by his Majesty's ship Port Mahon ; of the General Ferrand French pri- vateer, by his Majesty's ship Franchise : and of the re- capture of an American ship, by the Wolf sloop of war LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JAN. 15. French and Dutch papers, the former of as late a date as the 9th inst. have reached town ; but they are, we understand, un- derstand, uncommonly barren of intelli- gence. It appears from the thirty eighth bulletin of the Grand army, that it remains in nearly the same position that it occcupied after the battle of Austerlitz, in Moravia and Bohemia. The negociations for peace between Austria and France have been brought to a conclusion : a treaty of peace was signed at Presburg on the 27th ult. but we understand that Bonaparte would not suffer the terms to transpire, in order that the Allied Powers might be kept in a state of ignorance and uncertainty. It is also dated, that Bonaparte had declared his in- tention not to return to Paris until he had concluded this operations against Hanover. It does not appear, we understand, from the French papers, that Augereau had ad- vanced with so much rapidity against Ha- nover as was expeCted ; his army was ac cording to the last accounts, in Suabia. Three Hamburgh Mails are again due, but we have feen a letter from Rotterdam, of the date of January 10, brought by a ship arrived in the river, which dates that the French are advancing along the Rhine by rapid marches, towards the confines of the Batavian Republic.- It is added, that a considerable force has also entered the interior of France, on its way to the western departments, where the disaffected have again began to shew themselves, instigated, as it is said, by the English. The transports which arrived in the Downs the day before yesterday from the Weser, did not bring back our troops, nor does it appear that they were preparing to come away when the transports sailed. On Friday se'nnight, 25 sail of light transports were seen off the month of the Elbe. General Dumourier reached the Austrian head- quarters in Moravia, the beginning of last month, but too late to take any part in the military operations. He is said, never- theless, to have received a most warm re- ception from the Emperor Francis. There is no truth in the report of a second squadron having sailed from Brest. By our Plymouth and Falmouth letters, we learn that the Captain, of 74 guns, got on shore in going into the latter port; but that her guns having been thrown overboard, she was got off, after sustaining considerable damage. We yesterday received American papers to the date of Dec. 17 ' the only intelligence of any importance contained in them relates to Congress. An immediate declaration of war against Spain is expeCted. It has been frequently stated, as a matter of regret and surprise, that an attempt was not made to destroy the Boulogne flotilla immediately after Bonaparte withdrew the into Germany. To this we answer, on the authority of the first military characters of the country, that such a scheme is by them confidered impracticable, great body of the troops from that quarter The Howe frigate, in which Lord Wel- lesley came passenger, spoke, on the 12th September, the Blenheim, of 74 guns, Ad- miral Sir T. Troubridge. — The Blenheim was on her passage from Madras to Prince of Wales's Island. We are happy to add, that the Admiral was well. A letter by the Howe frigate, dated Bengal, 19th August, was yesterday re- ceived, stating, that Marquis Cornwallis, on his passage to the Upper Provinces, had halted at Muxadabad, at which place the Schoffs ( native bankers of that place) had voluntarily offered his Lordship the loan of 40 lacks of rupees on the credit of the Go- vernment of India; which he declined to accept, not being in want of the proffered supply. The report generally circulated that Ad- miral Duckworth had given up ihe chace of the French squadron which he fell in with off the Western Islands, is, we are happy- to learn, discredited at the Admiralty.— When the Amethyst frigate was dispatched with the intelligence, the Superb and Spencer were nearly up with the enemy, but shortened sail for the other four British ships to effect a junction. The Amethyst lost sight of our squadron about that time. The run after the French squadron lasted, twelve hours. Notwithstanding the repeated refusals of the French Government to establish a regular Cartel for the exchange of prisoners of war; the British Government have, in compliance with the request of Admiral Villeneuve, permitted his Captain, M. Magendie, to return to France, on his parole, to make another proposition for the establishment of a General Cartel. We sincerely hope, for the sake of humanity, that the attempt will succeed, though we are happy by no means sanguine in our expectations. His Majesty is not expected to go in State to the House of Peers to open the Sessions of Parliament, which, in that case, will bs by commission. It is still rather uncertain whether Mr. Pitt will be able to attend in his place on the first meeting of Parliament. He was so extremely ill last Monday by the fatigue of his journey from Bath, that a of Physicians became necessary. Among the number were Drs. Baillie, Vaughan, Reynolds, and Sir W. Farquhar. He. was yesterday visited by the same Physicians, when another consultation was deemed ne- cessary. Last night he was declared much better, but has not left his room since his return. The great trial of political strength, in both Houses of Parliament, will take place immediately on the opening of the ensuing Session. It is probable that the cuftom, adopted of late, of carrying up an unani- mous Address to the Throne, will be strictly adhered to on the present occasion ; but this will be done with an explicit and un- limited reserve of judgment and opinion as to the conduCt of Government. The second or third night of the Session will afford the most decided contrast to the unanimity that is assumed in compliment to the Sovereign on the first. The continental war will be the leading subjeCt of the debate. The impeachment of Lord Melville being placed wholly in the hands of the Managers, the general attention of Parliament will not be taken up with it in lhe manner it was in the last Session, or the attention of Govern- ment be distracted by it, from the most material interests of the country; the only question to be decided on is, whether the trial is to be in Westminster- Hall or the House of Lords ? Every possible interest is to be exerted by Lord Melville's friends, to bring it before the House of Lords.— This will be opposed. The question of Catholic Emancipation will, it is thought, be brought forward once more in the ensuing Sessions. Though so great a revolution is not to be expected in the opinion of Parliament as to allow it to be carried, after the decided negative so recently put upon it, yet, from a repetition of dis- cussion, so enlightened and liberal as it re- ceived, no consequences but the most bene- ficial and satisfactory are to be looked for. The presence of Lord Wellesley in his place is likely to produce very important effects, and we may expect to see the Oppo- sition loud in accusation against him, and demanding vengeance against his conduct in India.— This it will be for him to defend. Melancholy Accident— On Friday morning last, during the hurricane, a melancholy accident happened to the launch of the Hibernia, 110 guns, which had been sent a- shore at Plymouth for stores. Returning to the ship in Cawsand Bay, in the evening, it then blowing a violent gale of wind, not-, withstanding every exertion was made by the crew, fhe was obliged to bear away, it is supposed to put back, to Plymouth, or to endeavour to weather the Menstone, and get into Wembury River. However, be it what may, she caplized near the land, and all hands, upwards of 36, Were swamped. The Lieutenant and several men reached the shore, and were saved ; but the Midshipman and 18 poor fellows were drowned, and their remains washed ashore near Wembury. Duels.— Major T , of the 10th Mili- tia, was wounded in the thigh in a duel with another Officer of the same regiment, on Sunday last, at Edinburgh.— A bloodless duel was fought near Ennis, on Saturday se'nnight, between Mr. James E— ns and Lieut. C— ly, of the Armagh Militia. One of the undertakers at Lord Nelson's funeral being without a horse, was accom- modated by one belonging to a dragoon ; the trumpet, however, was no sooner sounded, than the animal gallopped off to fall into the ranks. The terrified under- taker in the mean time clung, like another Gilpin, to the main, to the great amuse- ment of the spectators, who, however, at last relieved him from his perilous situation.

In addition to the celebrated Mr. Yaniewicz, who leads the band, Mr. and Mrs. Vaughan ( late Miss Ten- nant) are engaged. The vocal abilities of this lady and gentleman are sufficiently known to those who have had the' pleasure of hearing them ; and to those who have not, may be inferred from Mrs. V.' s en- gagements at the Hanover- Square Rooms, and at the last Festival at Liverpool, to sing duets with Mrs. Billington ; and, with regard to Mr. V. his singing iu his Majesty's private conceits at Windsor, suf- ficiently stamp his merit; he is certainly a fine singer, and perhaps interior to the great Harrison only iu name.— See the advertisement. On Saturday se'nnight, a detachment of the Cumberland Militia marched into Carlisle, to' do gatrison duty, in the room of a party of the Lan- cashire Militia, who left Carlisle on the preceding Monday, to join the regimental Sunderland. Lord Archibald Hamilton has subscribed fifty gui- neas towards erecting a monument, at Glasgow, to the memory of Lord Nelson. The Hon. Charles Douglas has declared himself a candidate for representing the county of Lanark in Parliament, on the next vacancy.' Lord Archibald Hamilton, the present Member, is the other can- didate. A very keen contest is expected. Mr. Alderman Fairgray is elected Mayor of Ri- pon, for the year ensuing. At the Quarter Sessions for this county, held at our Castle, onl Tuesday last, Mary Brown, for utter- ing counterfeit money, was sentenced to six months imprisonment. The following convictions took place at Lan- caster; On Saturday the 11th inst. before three of his Majesty's Justices of the Peace for this county : Ah auctioneer; from the neighbourhood of Garstang, was convicted in the penalty of 2001. for not mak- ing a due return of the. sales held by him ; but the penalty was afterwards mitigated to ten guineas — Two maltsters were also Convicted in the penalty of 2001. each, fbr wetting or sprinkling their corn or grain upon the floor, when making into malt, but their penalties were'mitigated to 301. each — A per- son in Lancaster was fined the mitigated penalty of 51. for retailing spirits witheut a licence, under the pretence of selling grog.— The above convictions ate made public,, in hopes that it may be the means of deterring others from committing the like offences I against the Revenue Law's. On Thursday last, three young men were con- victed, at Kirkby Lonsdale, before W. W. Carus Wilson, Esq. of having remained, at such a distance from their coal carts, that they could have no direc- tion of their horses. They had each three carts^ i and their, neglect caused much interruption and dan- ger on the road. It is hoped that the penalties in- curred in this smr may be a, warning to. others; . Among the prisoners that, were brought up for trial at Liveipool Sessions,. last week, were Wm. Forrest, Charles Fletcher, and James O'Neil, on a charge of stealing 29 guineas from a young man of the name of Milliken, whom they had cheated and imposed upon at cards. , The Jury found them guilty, and they have been sentenced 19 seven years transportation. . . At the above Sessions, Ann Jones and James Cameron were convicted of felonies, and sentenced to be transported seven years each. On Saturday se'nnight, an affecting circumstance took place at the seat of Colonel Rigby, at Mistley ; the Rev. Matthew Thompson, rector of Bradfield and Mistley., was invited with a party to dine, tile company were informed dinner was ready, and Mr. T. in the act of rising to walk into the dining- room, fell down and expired immediately : he has left a wife and eleven children. j On Tuesday se'nnight, Mr. Gibson, a young man ' of Alston Moor, was killed, by falling down the shaft of an old mine. On Saturday se'nnight, Mrs. Sutton, of Scorby, whilst riding to Carlisle market, was taken ill, and died in a few minutes.— Her husband died suddenly about a year ago. A curious circumstance lately happened in a family, on Knasesbro' Forest. A man, of the name of Todd, who, by great economy, had accumulated sixty guineas in gold, had occasion to go from home for a short time— apprehensive of losing his wealth if he took it with him, and of his family being pro- fuse if he left it with them, he concealed it at the bottom of an old box, containing coals. Some time before his return, the contents of the box were thrown upon the fire; when he arrived, he thought he perceived a piece of coin amongst the ashes, which, on examination, proved to be one of his beloved guineas ! Diligent search was made for the remainder; but the gold had melted, and the metal being incorporated with the fuel, the value of all that could be recovered, did not amount to twelve pounds! - Lord Castlereagh has been elected member for Boroughbridge, vice the Hon. Sir John Scott, de- ceased. On Wednesday se'nnight, the brood mares, colts, fillies, hunters, hacks, & c. late the property of Sir Rowland Winn, Bart, deceased, were sold by auc- tion, at Nostel, near Wakefield.— The sale was very genteelly attended by most of the noblemen anil gentlemen of the Turf in Yorkshire; among the fashionables were, Lords Darlington, Hawke, and Pollington ; Sir Mark Masterman Sykes, Sir Ed- ward Smith, Sir T. Pilkington, Barts Hon. Martin Hawke, Col. Surtees, Mr. Wentworth, Mr. C. Wilson, Mr. Hewett, Mr Kaye, Mr. Armitage, & c. & c.— Dimple, a brood mare, twelve years old, got by Highflyer, and stinted to Shuttle, sold for 250gs. and several others, particularly the colts, fetched high prices.— Shuttle is the sire of Gratitude, who won at Lewes last year, the handicap stakes, beating Ashton, Zodiac, & c. He is also the sire of Mr. Mellish's Staveley, winner of the St. Ledgers stakes at Doncaster, last year, beating Caleb Quot'em and Sir Paul, for the latter of which Lord Fitz- william has refused 3000gs. Tankersley sold for 300gs. Thornville Royal.— This magnificent seat, for so many years in the possession of Colonel Thornton, was, on the 6th inst. surrendered to his successor, the present purchaser, Lord Stourton ; but not until the Colonel had, according to his annual custom, thrown his doors open, and filled all his rooms and tables with his friends during a whole month.— On the 6th, after amusing the party and neighbouring rustics with seeing the upper lake let off, where pike from 5 to 201b. carp from 12 to 151b. tench from 4 to 61b. and perch from 2 to 31b. were dis- covered ; a few were taken, and one half sent to the present owner, Lord Stourton. The Colonel then, attended by his' friends, proceeded to Fal- coner's Hall. A11 Irish estate has recently been advertised, with temptations to a purchaser of no ordinary kind.— It consists of two Baronies, the future prospects of which are set forth by stating, that one of them is let for nine hundred years ; and the other on a lease for ever ; at the expiration of which terms, both said Baronies will be capable of prodigious improvement. English Bull— A London paper, alluding to Mr. Pitt's frequent postponement of the meeting of Par- liament, in order to avoid hearing any animadver- sions upon the state in which the country is placed, observes, that it won't avail, for if the Minister postpone to eternity, he must hear ut last." New Corn Mill.— Last week, the new corn- mill, belonging to Messrs. Tomes & Handley-, erected on the side of ibe Warwick and Napton Canal, began to work in the presence of many respectable millers and mechanics, who expressed the' highest satis- faction at the complete manner in which it went off. — This mill is constructed to be worked by a small quantity of superfluous water from the canal, and has power to drive five pair of stones, with suitable machinery, grinding and dressing 500 sacks of flour weekly. The great water wheel is 24 feet diameter and 7 feet wide, the pit wheel 14 feet diameter, the spur wheel 12, and the crown wheel 14. The shafts and wheel are of iron, and to such perfection is the art of iron- casting now arrived, that the great wheel is no heavier than one constructed of wood, of the same dimensions. An important improvement in Boots and Shoes.— The following method of rendering these water- proof, at a very small expence, will be found in- variably to succeed :—' Take one pint of drying oil, two ounces of yellow wax, two ounces of Burgundy pitch, melted carefully over a slow fire; with this composition new shoes and boots are to be rubbed, in the sun, or at a distance from the fire, with a sponge, as often as they become dry, until they are fully saturated ; the leather is then impervious to wet, the shoes and boots last much longer, acquire softness, and pliability, and thus prepared are the most effectual preservatives against cold and chil- blains. Cow Pox— Only twenty- one children have died in the year 1805, at Glasgow, of the small pox ; such has been the advantage of the cow pox inocu- lation. Cow Pox in the Sixth Century.— Mavius, the first Bishop of Lausanne, speaking of the small- pox, ( variola) in the annals of his own time, observes, that it principally attacked horned cattle. This was in the year 570 ; and it does not appear to have at- tacked mankind till the year afterwards, namely 571. It will turn out very singular if the same animal which first had this disease, should furnish man with the best preventive of this dreadful malady. Indeed there is a strong probability, that the cow- pox is, in fact, the small pox ; only having under- gone some curious and wonderful modifications by passing through the system of the cow. It is not generally known that the late Mrs. Duff, whose death has been the subject of so much regret, fell a victim to the bite of a favourite dog.— In fondling with him he merely scratched her fore- head, and the appearance was so slight, that it was not thought an object that required any attention.— The animal, however, not long after bit a boy who was playing with him, and discovered some symp- toms which excited alarm, and he was therefore se- cured. Excision and the actual cautery was applied to the boy, who was by these means happily saved from danger,— The dog afterwards exhibited, every symptom of madness,, and was destroyed. Unfor- tunately the melancholy fact was not discovered till too late to rescue a beautiful and amiable lady, yho sunk into the grave in the bloom of life, and in possession of every thing to make life pleasant and endearing.— We should not think it proper to men- tion this affecting circumstance, if it were not to hold forth a warning to those of the female world who are fond of such animals, by the lamentable proof of one striking example. From the annual bill of mortality if appears that, at the Collegiate Church in Manchester, there have baen; from Jannary 1, to December 31, inclusive, 1805, marriages 1508— baptisms 3358— burials 969. Comparing the last with the preceding year, the mar- riages are decreased 165, the christenings 115,- and the burials increased 162; At Leeds parish church, during the lAst year, there were 1280 baptisms, 512 marriages, and 767 burials. The total number of burials in the city of Glasgow and suburbs, was 2889. being an increase from The year 1804 of 165. On the 10th inst. at sun- rise, the mercury in the barometer stood at 28. inches. It has been only twice so low since the earthquake at Calabria, in February, 1763. State of the Weather in tie year 1803. In 1805, there have been 136 Day's very brilliant; 109 Days in which there has been rain ; 18 Days in which snow or rain have fallen ; 46 Days cloudy, scarcely the sun appeared ; 56 Days fair, partly bright and partly cloudy. PARDON ASKED FOR ABUSE, The following instance of the amende honourable is extracted from The Lincoln Mercury ; : Whereas I, BENJAMIN BIRCH, Of Boston Town ( and near, the Church) At Stamford Market, o'er the bowl Got drunk, and bus'd my neighbour COLE; For which he hath, to my vexation, By law compell'd this declaration— That I, without just cause or reason, Made use of words as base as treason, And therefore do his Pardon ask,— A most ' unpleasant, painful task; But as I own I was to blame, Why, d-- it, then, I'll sign my name.

YE, who gloried in NELSON, thro' life so victorious, The pride of the good, and the boast of the brave, Now mourn, Britons, mourn o'er his exit, so glo- rious, And strike your sad breasts while you bend o'er his grave: Our grief, mix'd with joy, with each pang, exulta- tion, The conflict, how sore, ' twixt the smile and the tear; Whilst, struggling with rapture and anguish, the nation Sees the Cypress and Laurel unite o'er his bier '. Where tow'ring TRAFALGAR frowns over the ocean, And stern the rude winds and the billows defies, ' FRENCH and SPANIARDS, at morn, we discover'd in motion, And sparkles of ecstacy flash'd from all eyes : Ye Gods ! what a moment'. a sight of such beauty ! What more could a brave British Seaman desire ? And the signal " THIS DAY LET EACH MAN DO HIS DuTY," Primed each gallant heart— set each bosom on fire. Aloft, on the deck, stood the WORLD'S NAVAL WonDEr, Whilst alarms for his life all around him express'd ; Midst smoke, fire, and flame, and the loud can- non's thunder, Undaunted his aspect, and fearless his breast. Oh! a curse on the hand, of our CHIEF which bereft us, And laid on the deck the great CONQUEROR low ! He's gone !— But his matchless example HE left us; And Victory and Vengeance soon follow'd the blow '. Thy King's stoutest Champion, thy Country's bright Glory, Of no faction a tool— to no party a slave ; First of Heroes '.— Our grief shall instruct future story Thy deeds to exalt, and to honour thy grave ; Our woe, mix'd with joy, with each pang, ex- ultation, The conflict, how sad, ' twixt the smile and the tear, While in anguish and rapture entranc'd, a whole nation With the Cypress and Laurel itself decks thy bier! » . LORD NELSON'S FUNERAL. PROCESSION TO ST. PAUL'S. Heaven smiled on the 9th inst. on the last obsequies of our beloved Nelson. The day was, throughout, one of the finest that ever dawned at this season of the year— bright and chearing. Long before sun- rise ( it being a clear, moon- light morning) the note of preparation was heard in every di- rection; and the multitude, who had me- ditated a farewell light of their revered Chieftain's remains, were every where in motion ; so that by eight o'clock the streets through which the procession was to pass were crowded with pedestrians, as were also the windows and roofs of all the houses, from the Admiralty to St Paul's, while the out- skirts of the town were entirely de- serted. By eight o'clock in the morning, a very numerous detachment from the Royal Ar- tillery at Woolwich, with their field pieces, matrosses, & c. marched over Westminster Bridge to St. James's Park, where they took post on the right of the troops there al- i'embled. The 92d, or Duke of Gordon's Highlanders, a corps which particularly signalized itself in Egypt, under Sir Ralph Abercrombie, drew up in Westminster- road, facing Mount- row, and soon after fol- lowed the Royal Artillery, in open column of companies, the right in front. In St. JAmes's Park there were also two battalions of Foot Guards, several squadrons of Life Guards, the 10th, or Prince of Wales's Light Dragoons, and likewise the 17th — The Prince's regiment was drawn up with their front oblique towards Spring Garden- gate, with their rear to the rails, while the 17th extended in line from near Spring Garden gate, along ihe wall, all the way behind Carleton House. The carriages of the various Nobility and Gentry, who bad intimated their intention of accompanying the remains of our Hero, to St. Paul's, en- tered the Paik before eipht o'clock, at the gate On the top of Constitution hill They proceeded downwards with great regularity, and halted at the bottom of the Mall, where the carriage- road crosses to the Horse Guards. As we have already most accurately stated the Order of the Procession from the Ad- miralty to St. Paul's, it is unnecessary to re- peat it. Every thing was regularly done in succession, the Prince of Wales's carriages, according to etiquette, closing that part of the solemnity, which was adorned by the presence of the Royal Dukes, his brother. A circumstance happened at the removal of the coffin from the Admiralty, which, it would appear, had been wholly unfore- seen, and of course not anticipated. When the car, on the top of which the remains of his Lordship were to have been placed, was brought to the gate of the Admiralty Court- yard, it was discovered that the passage was not sufficiently wide to admit its introduc- tion, and it was for some time thought that it would be necessary to make such alter- ations upon it, as to enable it to enter — This idea, however, was given up, and the coffin was carried out to the street, and safely deposited on the splendid and in- genious vehicle, destined to convey it to St. Paul's. About eight o'clock, several Volunteer Regiments took their stations from Con- stitution- Hill to the Admiralty, and from thence round Charing- Cross, along the Strand, Fleet street, and Ludgate- hill, to St. Paul's. The Bloomsbury, Inns of Court, the St. George's, the Queen's, the St. James's, the Somerset- House, the Prince of Wales's, the City Light Horse, and the Westminster Cavalry, lined the Strand, two deep, while the City Corps, and those of the East India Company, did the same duty in Fleet- street and Ludgate- hill. The stan- dards were hung with black crape, and the officers and men wore crape round their left arms. The drums and fifes were muffled. A few minutes after ten the procession began to move from the Admiralty, in the following order : The Duke of York led the line. Detachment of the 10th Dragoons. Part of the 42d Regiment. The Buffs — band playing " Rule Britannia," Drums muffled. 93d Regiment, in echelons— a considerable depth between each— Colours of the 92d, Egypt on them, hung with crape— band playing muffled. Band of the Buff's— drums muffled, playing Dead march in Saul. Rest of the 43d Regiment, Officers all with black Scarfs— Colours of the 42d, crape. The 31st Regiment. A Highland Regiment. Rest of the 10th Dragoons— Officers on horseback, with black cloaks.— Trumpets sounding at intervals, 11th Dragoons. Scotch Greys. Trumpets preceding them, sounding a dead March. Horse Artillery. With Guns and Turnbrills. The procession of carriages, preceded by Heralds, & c. then followed, exactly in the order stated by us in our paper of Saturday last, and having passed through Temple- bar, in its way to St. Paul's, their Royal Highnesses waited some time, in order to be joined by the remaining part of the pro- cession, which was also conducted precisely in the order we have already stated. Here it was that the magnificent car, on which the remains of his Lordship were carried, became the principal and most interesting objeCt of universal attention. This vehicle, it having undergone fome improvements, merits description.— It was, to use ( and not improperly) a nautical expression, from stem to stern, nearly twelve feet in length, re- sembling the hull of the Victory man of war :— the name of that ship being in- scribed in its proper place ; the word " Tra- falgar" on each side, and " Nile" on its head, which was formed by a figure of the Goddess of Victory.— On ihe deck were raised three platforms, one over the other, on the upper was placed the splendid coffin with the body, over which rose a most tastefully construCted canopy, to an elevation of above twenty feet from the ground, fur- mounted by rich plumes of black feathers : the canopy was supported at the corners by four palm- trees, the stems of silver, and the foliage of burnished gold. On the entable ture on each side was the appropriate motto of the arms of Lord Nelson, " Palmam qui meruit, ferat;" over which was some elegant silver scrole work, in the Greek taste. The' car was drawn by six led horses, in funereal trappings, and preceded by the heraldic emblems, borne in the front, of mourning coaches, which have been already described. And here it is but justice to notice the cou- duct of the gentleman who, in a mourning- coach, carried on a cushion the coronet of the Hero. With the most obliging com- placency he held it alternately at each win- dow, and by this means highly gratified the speCtators. This part of the speCtacle, as we have said, chiefly attracted the atten- tion of the populace, who seemed to look up to the moving shrine of the departed Hero with an admiration bordering on re- ligious enthusiasm. " It was enough," they said, endeavouring to relieve them- selves from the pressure of the crowd the moment it had passed, " to have seen that: The joys of Heaven await his noble spirit ! — they wished to see no more." These and similar expressions the writer of this article heard burst fervently forth on frequent oc- casions from the mouths of the humblest of the populace, tears standing in their eyes at the moment. When the Procession came to Temple- bar, the gates were shut; they were, how- ever, presently opened, and the Lord Mayor, mounted on horseback, and bare- headed, took his place in the line immediately after the Prince of Wales. The Sword of State v. as carried before his Lordship, and his immediate attendants were all uncovered.— The Court of Aldermen followed in car- riages, and thus by slow degrees the caval cade attained the front of yhe Cathedral.— Inside of the rails some time was consumed in arranging the order of procession up the great steps, pursuant to the published regu- lations. At length, every thing being pro- perly settled, and each mourner in his pro- per situation, the procession ascended the steps at a slow and solemn pace. It was here that the part of the crew of the Victory appeared a most conspicuous groupe. We ought to have mentioned in the former part of this narrative, that those brave fellows and a detachment of marines from the Vic- tory, were only brought to town in the morning in two cars, and passed over West- minster bridge with the Train of Royal Ar- tillery from Woolwich. This detachment of Artillery was introduced on the occasion for the purpose of increasing the effect of this impressive spectacle. They filed off at St Paul's through the City, in order, as we imagine, to cross the Thames at London- bridge on their way back to Woolwich. Ou the entrance of the body of Lord Nelson into the Church, Dr. Croft's burial service was performed until it arrived at the choir. The voices, to the number of eighty- eight, twenty- fix of them boys, then began to sing " I am the resurrection,' without the organ. The effect of this very solemn and sublime music, exceeds all description ; it was sung correctly in time, by a numerous assemblage of excellent voices, most of them being principal singers, who moved in slow procession, in the following order :— A party of the 5th regiment of the City Volunteers. Two single files, to keep off the spectators. The Dean's Verger. Mr. Sale, the Almoner of the Church. The eight Young Gentlemen of the Choir. Mr. Stafford Smith at the head of ten Young Gentlemen of his Ma- jesty's Chapel Royal, as their Master. The eight Young Gentlemen of the Westminster- Abbey Choir. The Gentlemen of the three Choirs followed six- a- breast. This part of the service was finished just as they had got under the organ- loft, the appointed place. The funeral service now commenced by the Bishop of Lincoln ( Dean of St. Paul's) within the choir, which occu- pied near an hour; after which, as the corps was carrying to the grave, the gentle- men of the choir went up to a temporary orchestra, erected at the front of the organ, where they proceeded to perform a new Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis, composed for the occasion by Mr. Attwood. The verse parts were given in a style suitable to the folemnity of the occasion, by Mr. Sale, Mr. Goss, and the Rev. Mr. Webb After which, Dr. Greene's Funeral Anthem was sung.— The gentlemen of St. Paul's choir then left the choir, went down stairs, and were arranged under the organ loft.— The gentlemen of the other two choirs removed into another temporary orchestra, at the back of the organ. The organ afterwards began to play a solemn dirge, composed for the occasion by Mr. Attwood, as the body moved from the choir to the grave. The gentlemen of St. Paul's moved in procession to the west end of the grave. After the. dirge was finished, the burial service, composed by Dr. Croft and Henry Purcell, was sung by the gentlemen over the grave, as well as by those in the or- chestra. The whole concluded with a grand selection from Handel's Funeral Anthem, which was extremely grand and appropriate. Indeed every thing was conducted with such regularity and precision, as to confer equal honour on those who planned and those who executed it. The preparations for the accommodation of the public in the church, to witness this grand funeral, were upon an immenfe scale. In full recollection of his Majesly's two visits to the cathedral in 1789 and 1797 do not think that, upon either of these occasions, there was any thing approaching to the magnificence and splendor displayed on the present. Indeed, we are not in a condition to do justice by description, to the pomp, rich, gorgeous, and costly, as it was, which we witnessed. Every thing that could interest and impress the mind with the due solemnity of the scene, was brought for- ward with that degree of effect, that could not fail to sink deep into the hearts of those who deplore the Hero's fall, and whose bosoms glow with animation and resent- ment for his glorious demise. During the progress of the procession to St. Paul's, minute guns were fired from the Tower Wharf, as on Wednesday. The Royal Standard, on the Middle Tower, was hoisted half- Half, as were all the flags of yhe ships in the River; and the bells in several churches continued to toll till the final interment took place, which was an- nounced by the firing of two pieces of artillery. The crowd at. St. Paul's was ex- cessive ; but after the ceremony terminated, it retired with the greatest order and regu larity, though it was near eight o'clock before the whole of the company had with- drawn. VICTORY OF TRAFALGAR. A letter from an officer of the Bellero- phon, after describing the masterly manoeu- vres of Lord Nelson, in bringing the enemy to battle on the 21st of OCtober, gives ihe following account of the manner in which the line of the combined fleet was formed. The enemy were in the mean time employed in forming a close and well - imagined, though, till now, unexampled order of bat- tle ; but which, had their plan of defence been as well executed as it was contrived, would have rendered our victory much more dearly bought than it has been ; they were formed in a double line, thus— 1 2 3 4 5 6 French and Spaniards alternately, and it was their intention, on our breaking the line, ( which manoeuvre they expeCted we should as usual put in execution) astern of No. 4, for No. 2, to make sail, that the British ship in hauling up should fall on board of her, while No. 5. should bear up, and rake her, and No. 1, should bring her broadside to bear 0n her starboard bow.— Luckily this manoeuvre only succeeded with the Tonnant and Bellerophon, which were among the ships that suffered most. " Horse GUARDS.. . " The Commander in Chief having observed, that a degree of irregularity exists in the dress of Officers of the civil branches of the army, I have received his Royal Highness'scommand to request, that you will cause his Majesty's regulations res- pecting the dress of Officers, throughout t! ie dis- trict under your orders, to be strictly observed : and that no Officer of the Barrack, or Commis sioner's Department, or belonging to the medical Staff ( either general or regimental) shall at any time wear a sash, except the Officers of the Bar- rack Department having established rank in the army.

A short time since died, at Eddiston, in York- shire, Edward Norton, aged 56, by trade a tinker, which he followed zealously till about six weeks before bis death. — His apartments pourtrayed symptoms of the most abject poverty, though at his death he was found to be possessed of property to the amount of between five and six thousand pounds. He had a wife and several children, which he brought up in the most parsimonious manner, often feeding them on grains and the offals of meat, which be purchased at reduced prices. He was no less remarkable in person and dress; for, in order to save the ex pence of shaving, he would encourage the dirt to gather on his face, to hide, in some measure, this defect. He never suffered his shirt to be washed in water; but, after wearing it till it became intolerably black, he used to wash it in urine, to save the expence of soap. His coat, which time had transformed Into a jacket, would have puzzled the wisest philoso- pher to have found out its original colour, so covered was it with shreds and patches of different colours, and those so diversified, as to resemble the trophies of the different nations of Europe, and seemed to vie with Joseph's coat of different colours." The interest of his money, together with all he could heap up from his penurious mode of living, he used to deposit in a bag, which bag was covered up in a tin pot, and then conveyed to a brick kitchen; and a hole made just large enough to hold the pot; the brick was then care- fully marked, and a tally kept behind the door of the sum deposited. One day his wife discovered this hoard, and resolving to profit by the oppor- tunity, took from the pot one out of the sixteen guineas that was then placed there. Her husband soon discoveied the trick, for when he came to count his money, and finding it not agree with the tally behind the door, which his wife did not know of, he taxed her with the theft, and to the day of his death, even 011 his death- bed, he never spoke to her without adding the epithet of thief to every expression. In his younger days, he used, at the death of any of his children, to have a little deal box made to put them in, and, with- out undergoing the solemn requisites of a regular funeral, he would take them upon his shoulder to the place appropriated for their reception; where, once interred, he seemingly coincided with the old adage, " out of sight, out of mind ;" and went home as unconcerned as if nothing had hap- pened. A short time before his death, which he evidently hastened by the daily use of near a quart of spirits, he gave strict charge that his coffin should not have a nail 111 it, which was actually the case, the lid being fastened with hinges made of cord ; there was no inscription on the coffin, but barely the initials E. N. cut out on the lid.— His shroud was made of a pound of wool ; his coffin was covered with a sheet instead of a pall, and was carried by six men, to each of whom he left half. a- crown and, at his particular desire, not one , who followed him to the grave wore mourning; but, on the contrary, each of the mourners seemed to try whose dress would be the most striking, the undertaker even being habited in a blue coat and scarlet waistcoat. He died without a will, and his fortune was equally di- vided among his wife and family. SHIP NEWS. LIVERPOOL, JAN 13.

RHEUMATISMS, Palsies, and Gouty Affections, with their usual concomitants, spasm, or flying pains, flatulency, indigestion, and general debility, { originating in whatever sources) are relieved and frequently cured by WHITE- HEAD'S ESSENCE OF MUSTARD PILLS, after every other means had failed. The FLUID ESSENCE OF MUSTARD, ( used with the Pills, in those complaints where neces- sary) is perhaps the most active, penetrating, and effectual remedy in the world, curing the severest SPRAINS and BRUISES, in less than half the time usually taken by Opo- deldoc, Arquebusade, or any othei liniment or embrocation ; and if used immediately after any accident, it prevents the part turning black.

TO S. SOLOMON, ESQ. M. D. . FROM WHITEHAVEN. SIR, Whitehaven, May 5, 1799. IHave the satisfaction to assure you, that your medicine, the Cordial Balm of Gilead, has not undeservedly gained so great a reputation in the vicinity of Whitehaven, many cases could be adduced wherein it has been highly efficacious ; among tile rest, a gentleman of my acquaintance waited upon me and entreated that I would make you acquainted with the wonderful cure he had experienced by the use of a few bottles of it, which he purchased from me. His complaint was of the nervous kind, and of many years standing, and though many remedies had been unsuccessfully tried, nothing but the Balm of Gilead produced that happy change in his whole system, which lie had for many years sought in vain. If further inhumation is necessary, you nuvy refer any respectable inquirer, by letter, post paid, to Your most obedient humble servant, WILLIAM AlBiN. P. S.

SCROFULA, OR KING'S EVIL. Copy of a letter from Mr. W. Nuttall, calico- printer, near Ainsworth- Hall, Lancashire. Sir, S I am now arrived to that solidity of health which renders life comfortable, and far exceeds my utmost expectations, I doubt not but a short account ot my case ( 1 may add de- plorable) will afford you some degree of pleasure. — I have for eighteen years been most grievously afflicted with a scrofulous complaint; it first ap- peared in my glands, and progressively extended all over my breast and under my arms. When I first commenced taking your much- esteemed An- tiscorbutic Drops, I had seventeen scrofulous ulcers, which issued a great quantity of very of- fensive humour, which indeed rendered my life a burden to myself, and of course distressing to my friends, to see the calamitous state to which my loathsome malady had brought me; but now, thank GOD, every one of the ulcers are, and have been for months back, compleatly healed, and 1 am now healthy, fleshy, and robust, to which before I was a stranger ; persons who formerly knew me are astonished, and wonder at the great change. I may truly add, to the virtue of your invaluable Drops at this moment owe my exist- ence ; and, for the good of mankind, I request you to publish my case, in any way you think proper.

TO ( hose who have revelled in the mid- night cup, or madly drained nature of her richest stores, by unrestrained or licentious love, or by the horrid selfish passion of Diogenes, this restorative will render all possible assistance; and, if the vital powers be not entirely destroyed, it will gradually repair the melancholy evil. Ladies of any time of life may, by this medi- cine, be freed from one of the most afflicting disorders incident to the sex; and at a certain period it is most highly useful. In all nervous affections, lowness of spirits, tremblings, loss of memory, impaired vigour, and the numberless symptoms of impaired and totter- ing constitutions, whether arising from a life of inactivity, intemperance, 01° inattention to health, its efficacy has attained, throughout the three king, doms, universal and unparalleled celebrity. By strict perseverance in its use, it cheers, braces, ami invigorates the whole nervous system, and gives new tone to all the vital functions, of which num- berless instances can be avouched. A most noble medicine, composed of some of the choicest balsams and strengtheners in the whole Materia Medica ; and is particularly applicable to those wfcose constitutions are relaxed by extremes weakness and debility, or broken by enervating or vcious indulgences. Eruptions in the Face.— The inconsistent doctrine of those who recommend external applications for internal complaints, is obviated in the following simple question : will the fur which adheres to the inside of a kettle, or boiler, be removed by wash- ing the outside ? The same comparison may be made respecting the human frame : can an internal complaint be removed by an external application ? These questions are left to be answered by every reader, which will shew the ridiculousness of in- culcating this doctrine, while the infallibility of Dr. Brodum's Botanical Syrup is evinced in the extraordinary cures that daily appear in the papers, particularly in cases of the above nature, noon or CURES WITHOUT SALIVATiON.
