IIIAVE the honour to inform you, lhat his Majes- ty'* sloop miller my command captured, on the • Jiter'noon ,, f the O'. M iiist. Flaui bo rough Head bear- ing west 170 miles, after a cliaee of three hours, the French higgei privateer f, e Piospere, commanded by Peter Van Oiongleii, mounting tuo long six- pounders anil one IS poundei carrouade, with a complement of : 0 men ; out two davs from Rotterdam; she had cap- tured, on the morning of the 2' 2d, a Danish bi isr from N'nruas, laden with timber, bound to Hull, and tvas taking poses- ion of another when we fell in with her. Finding the diiletion the captuied brig had made sail ', n, I sent a. i officer and a party of men on board the lug- cr to endear our to recapture her, being charged • villi dispatches myself, which I hope will meet your approbation. A letter fmm Captain Ballard, of tbe Sceptre, 74. gives an ; eeoont ofthe capture of a French merchant sloop, arid five ehasse maiees-, on the coast of France, he the boats oft hat ship, under I. ieut. Chrystie. American papers to tne : 50th ult contain a mam- fo. io is. ned in the name of the Provinces of the Spa- nish Main, declaring themselves indt pendent of the mother country, in nearlv the same terms as were nsi .1 bv the North American Congress iu pioclaiming their independence. ' he title thev assume is that of r. iiifederation ofthe Provinces of Venezuela. The Il. l igente French privateer, which lately sailed from an American port, has been taken by the Belvidcro frigate. A l.' sbon mail arrived on Saturday, hy which we have received Portuguese papers to the 18th inst. The ii. ad quarters of Lord Wellington continued at I'uente de Gioiialdo, and nothing of importance had occur- red. Marmont, however, was collecting reinforce- ments, and it is not improbable that he w ill put - his forces in motion, either with a view to present the in- vestment of Ciudad Rodrigo or to force the allies to a. at t io ii. The Portuguese papers contain two ex- t nets of dispatches from Lord Wellington, but they r.- lat< chiefly to operations which we were acquainted with before through other channels. Loid Wm. Rentinck, our Ambassador at tbe Sicilian Court, so unexpected1 v relumed, bad a long audience on Saturday, at. noon, with the Ptince Regent, at Yoi k House, to » Inch he was introduced by the Mar- quis Wellesley, his Majesty's Secretary of Slate for Foreign Affairs. It now appears, that his Lordship had lio sooner delivered his credentials, than the most perfidious intrigues of the Courts of Vienna and the Thinlleries were penetrated by his vigilance, and im- plicating ihe highest authorities in that island. After a spoiled remonstrance, and directing the most prompt and vigorous military measures to counteract the ma- chinations of the common enemy, and their nemmsidi. on allies, here- embarked for England, without a mo. meal's loss of time, to make that communication to his Government in person, which the extraordinary nature of the subject so imperiously required. Lord Will, lieiitiuck was most graciously received by his Royal Highness the I'i - ice Regent, who expressed his highest appropation of lis Lordship's conduct on this • initio taut occasion, so worthy the charaetei of a Ill- ins!, Ambassador, and becoming the dignity of the ii. i is*, nation. Ilis Lordship, we understand, wi 11 re- tain iinin. d. » iulv to Sicily, w ith mote extensive pow- er-, for the eneigetic defence and security of that is- land, for w hich a considerable reinforcement isordered to lie immediately embarked. ails from Anholt arrived yesterday, with let- ters and papers from the north of Europe to the 13th instant. The Count of SI. Leu, lale King of Holland, v- ides near Giatz, in Stiria, where his health has de- rived benefit fiom the waters.— His brother- in- law, Murat, King of Naples, is nearly recovered from his late indisposition— An alaiming shock of an earth- quake was lately felt at Iveggio, the southern part of that kingdom; and a church at Stockholm was lately stiuck by lightning dnringdiviue service, when, of 600 poisons present, three were killed, and 100 severely injured.—' The Emperor of Austria has opened the Diet of Hungary. Among the Magnates who attend it is the old and celebrated Austrian Minister Tliugut. The Austrian Gosermnent has issued an order for- bidding the managers of theatrical spectacles to engage W ill foreign actors, singers, or dancers, as they tend to corrupt the morals of the people, and drain the Country of its specie, The polite of Pest, in Hungary, lately discovered a Company of thieves, consisting principally of persons w o generally belong to the class of the robbed instead o. robbers. " Without having excited the least suspi- cion, they had made seseral considerable booties. As- sortments of watches, snuff- boxes, rings, and other jewelleiv, were found in the apartments of each of t em, besides money, false passports, and seals. A pipe, mounted in silver, afforded the clue for the de- tection of this da11geious corporation. The Older with which it « » s managed must excite surprise. They had a book- keeper, a cashier, and several Jew factors. Vioperty to the amount of 160, WX) florins has already been restored to the proprietors. Most of these thieves base acknowledged that they were seduced into this occupation by gaining, which reigns at Pest vvitli a furor that seems to increase in proportion with the melancholy consequences it produces. The following arms and military stores have been sent fiom the " lower within these few days, to be shipped for Malta and Spain : 15,000 stand of arms, 3,000,000 ball- cartridges, 3,000 barrels of powder, 50 tons of lead, one shipload ol" rockets, 2,000 pistols, 94 1 » ec sof brass ordnance, 2000 sabres, and 20,000 pikes.

Csis AND MotINEI'X. — The battle between Crib and Moliueux look place on Saturday at Thistleton Gap, in the county of Rutland, eight miles from Grantham, boideringou three other counties. A 25 feet stage was erected ill a sttihbe ground, without the slightest in- terruption, and before twelve o'clock several thousands of persons had collected, including many of the no- biluv and gentry from the surrounding country. Not s bed could be had within 20 miles of the seat of action On Friday, night. Crib weighed 13 stone 5 or 6 pounds, and Molineux something mote than 13 stone. Capt. Barclay, by a science of training peculiar to himself, had reduced Crib from upwaids of 16 stone to his pre- sent weight, still keeping his stamina good, Theodds before, seiiing- to were 3 to 1 oh Crib, aud 6 to 4 about the first knock- dow n, ' file combatants mounted the stage at tw elie o'clock, and at IS minutes past ( having viewed each other wilh significant glances) they pre- plied for combat: Gully and Joe Ward seconded Crib; and Richmond and Hill Gibbons, Molineux. Toe bait'e lasted minutes, and consisted of eleven rounds : iu the 9th round Crib broke his antagonist's jaw ! and at. the close of the 11th round, Molineux bring unable to stand, \ ictbry was announced in a Seidell reel hy Gully and Crib, accompanied by shouts « :' applause!— Molinenx was carried out of the ring Senseless, and he is constantly attended by a surgeon, lie has . suffered most about the left side, aud the jugu- lar vein: he is, however, considered out of danger. Crib is blind, hot has received no body hit; and on being joked with after the light, about his captivating appearance, be observed be would sooner go. through such another fight, than another training in the high- lands of Scotland. Crib will benefit 4001. by his vic- tory, and has solemnly declared lhat nothing shall ever tempt him to fight again.— Another battle took place burnetii George Cub, the champion's brothel, aud a stout countryman, when tbe latter won in half an hour ' I he winner was 2 stone the heaviest. The to. vns of Giuntliam, Stamford, and in short, the whole north road, have benefited abniidautly. MONTHLY AGRICULTURAL REPORT. Tbe bright dry weather through nearly tlie whole of the last month has been extremely favourable for the latter harvest, and also to prepare the land tor tlie en- suing seed time, which, with the early harvest, has greatlv facilitated the autumnal pursuits in agriculture. The new wheats in the southern counties turn out a thin light sample, upon those lands that were exposed to the blight ; they prove much heavier in the midland and northern counties, where tbe crop was more free from this maladv. Barley turns out a rough, buta sound, heavy, full crop, more productive than lot- some years past. Gats aie more than an average crop, and of good quality, the burden of straw consi- dered. A finer harvest" fm beans is not in the recol- lection of the oldest farmer ; they have raised heavy to the cart, except oil a very few spots that were injured by the fly. Peas, tares, and the other leguminous crops are well harvested, and yield well to the acre. The warm weather has been very genial for the turnip crop, and all the brassica species, which have made a luxuriant growth for the season. The early sown rye aud winter tares for soiling, have made their appear- ance, and come up in a most promising state. Hops are a foil crop. The dry weather has been very fa- vourable to the latter crop of bay, which has been in a proportionate abundance to the first.

S- The Directors of this Institution, with confidence derived from its eminent success, invite public atten- tion to the important benefits which it is calculated to produce. Even on the ordinary plan of Insurance Companies, the utility of Life Insurance is manifest, but how much more advantageous is it on the plan of the Provident Office? I11 Ihe common mode the specific sum insured is recovered, hut nothing more. In that of the Provident Office, while equally secure of the specific sum insured, the member is entitled to share ihe surplus profits, and this it has been seen will fre- quently double and treble ihe sum stated in the Policy! and this also w ithout any additional charge of pre- mium! The security and prosperity of this Institution are at once promoted by an extensive Association of Lives, au effectual iinproveTent of its Funds, which the Act of Parliament passed in favour ofthe Office has mate rially aided, ami for which the Metropolis affords the best opportunities, and an economical management, in which ti. e Court of Directors, Trustees, and Auditors act gratuitously. And in order still more effectually to complete the security of the public a surplus capi- tal of 250,0001. has been provided by the original mem- bers, to meet any excess of losses* lhat may occur. The Subscribers to this capital alone are held respon- sible for the engagements of the Office. Mindful that Security is the first object of Insurance, and that every Office which has undertaken i ife As- surances below tiie established rates, has, sooner or later, proved insolvent, the Diiectors will not offer the illusive temptation of a reduction of the Premi- ums. Indeed, on the plan of the Provident, such an adventure could have 110 attraction— for, supposing that the know n safe rates are more than sufficient, aud yield a surplus, that surplus will be divided among the Members, anil those who continue longest Members will be the most benefited thereby. But What lias proved the issue where Societies have rashly S| eculated 011 reduced and insufficient rates? Their funds have become exhausted by the earlier claimants, and the later ones have been left destitute. Those who have continued longest Members have been the greatest Sufferers! Military men are not charged with any additional Premium, unless called into actual service. No Admission Fees are required, nor is any Charge made for Policies, except the Stamp Duty. A Pamphlet, folly explaining the principles and terms ofthe Institution, may be had at the Office, and ofthe Agents and Booksellers, price 6d. Agents are appointed 111 the principal Towns, who arc likewise Agents to the County Fire Office. jfJ1 The Directors of the County Fire Office aud Provident Life Office are desirous of appointing Agents iu the towns that are at present unprovided with them.

ADMIRALTY- OFFICE, OCT. 1— A letter from Captain Browne, of his Majesty's ship Hermes, re- lates that on'the 21th iust. he re- raptured the Pius- sian brig Anna Maria,' from Lisbon for London. On the same day, off lleachv Head, Captain Brown dis- covt red a large lugger in the midst of a number of JyigH, sh vessels, several of which she must have soon captured, and one of which she had taken before seen by the Hermes. " S.' ie was instaiitlyspursiu- d," says the Captain, " and in'two hours' time, after sustain- ing a good deal of firing, which wounded some of tin ciew, and damaged ller sails, she struck; but in the act of bringing to, to take possession of her, the main topsail yard broke in the slings, and the fore- sail of the Hermes split from the violence of the wind, which the privateer immediately took the advantage of; and although in a situation under the lee when she surrendered, that would have enabled me to havi totally destroyed her, he had the temerity to endri.- vour to escape, by making sail on the opposite tin k , but by the great exertion of my officers the ship was wore, and as lunch sail set as enabled me again to come up with him, although lie had got two miles from us on the weather how, when feeling myself justified after his conduct not to give him an oppor- tunity of again escaping, I determined to run him alongside, notwithstanding it blew a gale of wind with a very heavy sea ; in doing w hich he again en- deavoured to escape, bv, crossing our hawse, w hen in one instant a heavy sea instantly threw him under the bottom of his Majesty's ship, and 1 lament to- Jky, that only 12 men out, of 51 were saved, it bciiijjTm- possiblc to hoist a boat out. It appears, she was named La Mont- he, of Boulogne, had sailed tM? even- ing before, and mounted 14 carriage guns, X3 and 6- poundcrs. I have the satisfaction to state, that not one of the crew of the prize were taken on board the privateer; she was a ship from the West Indies, butber name I could not learn." By the Fox frigate, the gratifying intelligence has been received of the capture of two French frigates, tlie Rcoomm6e and he Nereide, off Madagascar, by liis Majesty's frigates Galatea, Capt. Losack, Phoebe, Capt. Hillyar, Astrea, Capt. Sehnmberg, and Race- liorse sloop. The third French frigate, Clorinde, which was in company, had the good fortune to escape ; and we ate inclined to think she has reached Brest in safety, as she answers the description of an enemy's frigate which got into that port on Tuesday last. His Majesty's ship Tonnant chased her, got within cable's length of her, and fired into her three broadsides; but it blowing very hard at the time, the Tonhant carried away her main- top and topgallant roasts; anil the Frenchman escaped within the rocks of the passage de Ras.— The Galatea is stated, in the private letters, to have lost between 50 and 60 men in the action.— One of the prizes had reached the Isle of France; and the other was at Timatave, rigging jury inasts. Each of the French frigates bad on board 200 troops for the relief of the Isle of France; and it is again said, that before sailing for Madagascar, they made two attempts to laud, and retake the Isle of Bourbon. The action was fought at night, which was the cause of Clorinde's escape. The expedition against Batavia hail sailed for its destination prior to the Fox's departure. The French, it is believed, mean to make an im- mediate attack upon the islauds of Jersey, Guernsey, aud Alderney, for which purpose they have collected 30,000 men at Cherbourg. The intelligence of this meditated attack has been communicated by the Earl of Liverpool to General Don, the governor of Jersey, ami by him to the States of tiie island, who were con- voked for that purpose oil 21st nit. The Slates have adopted the necessary measures, iu conjunction with the General, for resisting the enemy. The naval force employed on the Jersey and Guernsey station, is to be immediately increased by three frigates and two sloops of war. Moniteurs aDd other Paris papers to the 23d nit. announce Bonaparte's departure from Coinpiegne, on the 19th, and that he was going to visit the coasts of Holland. On the next day, as our readers know, he was at Boulogne, and was in a barge with Marshal Key, witnessing tlie brilliant atchieveinents of his flo- tilla. Of the action of that and the succeeding day no mention is made in the Moniteui. By two articles from the Hehlcr and from Blanken- berg, it will be seen, that the Texel fleet under Admi- ral De Winter, aud part of the Scheldt fleet, are per- forming those evolutions which are now common in all the French ports, and which seem to occupy much of the attention of the French Government and the Paris papers. There seems to be some plan in agita- tion for the sailing of squadrons at tbe same time from different ports. The Texel fleet, consisting of five nail ofthc line, is under the command of Admiral de Winter, who is oil board it. The Scheldt fleet con- sists of 21 sail of the line, under Vice- Admiral Mis- siessy. ',. •'. The flotilla at Boulogne consists of 33 gun- boats, 30 praams, and 37 brigs. Every exertion was made to complete their equipment, and Ireland was generally spoken of as the object. Bonaparte's mother was, at the beginning of last month, at Cassel, on a visit to her son Jerome. Several letters by the Auholl mail of Monday, an- nounced in confident terms, that some ofthe transports which had bet n sent out to the Russian ports in the Baltic, from this country, laden with ammunition and stores, < Si£. had been refused admission, and hail iu consequence returned to Hano Bay, on their voyage back to England. So much at variance was this in- telligence with the previous accounts received from the Baltic, and so inconsistent did it appear when the situation of affairs in the north was considered, that but little belief was given to the information. Yes- terday, however, all doubts were removed ou this head, as the intelligence was posted up at Lloyd's ia these words:—" The four transports, with ammuni- tion, & c. which went up tbt Baltic a short time since, have returned with their cargoes, and sailed from Wingo Sound with the fleet for England on the 23d ult." We learn by a gentleman wlio arrived by the convoy, that a most desperate attack was made upon it by the Danish gun- boats, notwithstanding it was protected by seven ships ofthe line. They came out of port to the number of 130, ou the discovery of which, signal was made to collect the ships, which flood onward with five sail of the line, suffering 110 sciious molestation. In the mean while, the Cressy and the Mars men of war, of 74 guns each, attended by a sloop, rushed into the midst ofthe armed Danish vessels, and commenced an engagement, during which a heavy firing on both sides was witnessed bv the ships in the wake of the convoy, and the result we understand to be, that the British ships ol war were damaged iu a very slight degree, ami lhat about 30 of tlieenemy's gun boats, with their crews, weutdowu. We received this morning American papers fo the 2d nit. A general embargo is expected to be laid in all the American ports. It is galling to see the American harbours convert- ed into a depot for the plunder made by tbe French 011 British commerce. The British vessel Tottenham has been captured off llarbadoes, and tarried into New York • v There is in the New York papers, a report of an insurrection in Jamaica. The account states, tliat three black regiments had revolted, and having been joined by many negroes, had burned the town of Montcgo Bay. We believe this statement is totally unfounded. The Jamaica papers to the end of July are in town, and the island was at that period in a state of perfect tranquillity. These, papers contain an article purporting to be the copy of a treaty sent out to France with Joel Barlow. It stipulates, among other tilings, the ex- elnsiou of British commerce from the ports of Ame- rica,' until England has recognized the principles pf the Berlin Decree; and that iu the event of her mak- ing w ar 011 America, that both nations shall make common cause. Notwithstanding the declaration of absolute and unqualified independence, by the people of Venezue- la, there is reason to apprehend that there yet remain many seeds of disunion and weakness, which are like- ly to dissappoiiit their expectations, or impede their designs. Our accounts from thence ( via United States')- reach to the IO1I1 July. The ' following is au extra"! from a private letter:—" General Miranda is now a Member of Congress, elected by 11 town almost unheard of before in Barcelona. The eyes of all Cit- raccas are fixed upon his motives, and it can by 110 means be said that he possesses the confidence of his fellow citizens. You have heard long since of the failures of what seems to me the unprovoked attack upon Coro. The little Coriem army are in their turn the attackers, and have actually arrived to within ninety leagues of this Capital, at a place called Sail Felipe, whilst the equally wanton aggressions on the people of Guiana have provoked thein to semi forag- ing parties to within a league or two of tiie route of my excursion into the interior, llarrasscd thus on both sides, one is surprised that ro impatience nor alarm seems visible in the patriots. Nothing but peo- ple with uniforms are to be seen in our streets: yet they hear of the near approach of the enemy wilh the utmost tranquillity, nor evince the least wish to march and disturb their operations. In these times when unanimity seems so absolutely necessary for the preservation of their new Government, the principal cities and provinces seem desirous of humbling tiie capital, and forming independent States of their own The city of Valencia has publicly, in the Gazette and in Congress, claimed to be one of four independent districts, into which she affirms the province of Ca- raccas ( in its most confined sense) should be divided, aud thus are the seeds of present and future dissen- tions already sown. This matter is still debating in Congress." Parliament is further prorogued to, Tuesday, the 12th of November. The following is said to be the result of the appli- cation from Napoleon to the Pope : —" The Depu- tation oflhe- Council, which was sent to the Pope in Italy, has returned to Paris, without having accom- plished any part of its mission. ' The Pope has re- fused every proposition made to him bv Napoleon. A11 Austrian Agent was likewise sent to the Pope, to urge the demands of Bonaparte, who insinuated, lhat a refusal to comply with the demands of the French Ruler might bring danger npon him; to which the Pope replied, that a mail who feared God, need not dread such a being as Bonaparte ; and as to his situ- ation in this w orld, a man who now accustoms him- self to live on 15 sous per diem, in preference to the pension which was offered hiin by Napoleon, cannot lose much! When the island of Grenada, in the year 1795, was invaded by the French, the French resident there stirred up an insurrection among the negroes. There was one Frenchman, who had a large estate in the island, a Mr. Clozier, and so far possessed the con- fidence of the Government that he was appointed a justice ofthe peace. The alarmed English inhabitants, who resided near him, listened to him for advice and assistance when the news first readied them, aud willingly offered themselves to act under him, to be conducted in any way he might think necessary for the safety of the country. He accordingly placed himself at their head, and led them through woods and thickets, into the very midst of the enemy's camp, and there surrendered them as prisoners to the insur- gent commander, Fedon, \ vlio was before his in- timate friend ; . mil tlicy were soon after, to the nnm- ber of50, put to death. This traitor was afterwards taken by the English, and justly executed as such. But besides this, it was known by every person in the island that the number of Frenchmen, who became traitors, also acted with a cruelly the most barbarous and monstrons to every English prisoner whom the chance of war had unfortunately thrown into their power. We Icarn with great satisfaction tliat the new Go- vernor of Berbice, Robert Gordon, Esq. has had the firmness to insist upon an important alteration of the Dutch Colonial Code, in favour of our African brethen. In an edict of the 1st of July, it is enacted, that every white, or other free person, convicted of murdering, maiming, or wounding a slace, to whom- soever belonging, shall suffer the same punishment which would attach to the perpetratiouof such crimes upon persons of their own class. The British light cavalry ( with the exception of the four hussar regiments, the 7th, 10th, 15rh, and 18th) have lately had their uniforms altered, by a board of field officers; they are to be in future quite plain. A woman of Braketrollenbnrgli, in Fionia ( Danish island), has fabricated some hundred ells of a good stuff from nettles. The Danish Government has re- warded the discoverer w ith a pension for life. The Rajah of Travaneore is become so favourable to the cause of Christianity, that he is expected to prohibit the annual pilgrimages from his territories. There were numerous melancholy shipwrecks, and other disasters, with loss of lives, last week, 011 the coast of the Channel, particularly from Spithead to the North Foreland. A boat driven on shore, on AVednesday, near Folkstonr, by the Decoy cutter, hail 12,000 guineas 011 board, the whole of w hich were thrown into the sea. An eight- oared galley, concerned in the ex- portation of specie, is said to have been seized in the vicinity ofthe same place. Molineux still remains too indisposed, from the ef- fects of the boxing match, to be removed. He has received a subscription, at the hands of Mr. Jackson, of above 401. Crib has received the whole of the 3001. won at the hands of bis patrician backers, and he yesterday appeared in public, receiving their con- gratulations. He h- is positively declined ever fighting again, having won twelve battles, nine of which were of a sanguinary nattne, and w hich, 10 use a technical phrase, has brteched him well up. Previous to the battle between Crib and Molincnx, young Crib, who has been fresh named Crab, mounted the stage, aud challenged to fight any gentleman of about his weight. Joe Ward, the veterau, energeti- cally replied 10 hiin " Why you fool, do you think gen- tlemen CUBIC here to fight ? No; they come to see fighting. Why don't you say, I'll fight any blackguard." KOUHERY ATTHE QUEEN'S HOUSE.— Dcnziel and Cadwallader, the locksmiths who were in custody, on suspicion of this robbery, yesterday underwent a third and long examination, the result of which was, tbt y were admitted to bail, to appear again at Marl- borough- street Office, if called on, aud to answer any charge that might be alleged against them in another Court. Yesterday the telegraph at the Admiralty announced the arrival of 13 ships from Cork, with Irish militia regiments. They sailed on the 21st last, since which tlicy have suffered much by the late gales. Mr. Jones Buvdett declines Southwark ; but his friends say they will elect him, ahd without expense! On the 19th ultimo, a spire of a new construction was erected upon the church of Fig worths town, Ireland. It is 50 feet high, made of iron and'slate, and pointed and sanded so as perfectly to resemble Portland stone, and was put together inside of the tower, by which means the expence and danger offcxtermflscaffoMing wereavoiiled. AH the Nobility and Gentry tor many miles round, who had been in- viled 011 the occasion, expressed great gratification iu seeing this beautifully proportioned spire gradually raised by machinery, and plated without effort 011 its destined base. It was only 18 initiates 111 its asceut, aud after it had been seenn ( 1 in its new situation, the pedestal, to which it had been attached during its elevation, descended to the ground with the workmen, who had conducted the operation. The spire is secured'from lightning by a copper conductor, and has been exposed ever since its ascent to the equi noxial gales, by which it has not been in the least affected. LIEUTENANT Cor, B.— Although otir naval annals are replete with instances of heroism and fortitude, they w ill not furnish a brighter example of intrepidity and devotedncss. than those which marked the fail of Lieutenant C. Cobb, of his Majesty's ship Castiliau, who was killed by a cannon ball in tiie spirited attack on the Boulogne flotilla on the 21st nil. who, while carried from the deck in the arms of the Surgeon and Purser, directed his eyes towards his shattered arm, and observing it hanging by a small portion of the flesh only, he exclaimed, with the greatest composure, " never mind, it is only an anil;" and although in ad- dition to tiiis calamity, he liad his ribs fractured, and his lungs contused, he evinced such spirits and cheer- fulness, that it was hoped that his arm would have been the only loss lie would have had - to deplore; and while suffering under the pnjn of amputation, it was made known to him that one of the praams had been liken; he exclaimed, with the greatest fervour, " thank Go.!, I hope we shall have more of them," but in a few minutes after the amputation was com- pleted, life appeared to be fast ebbing, and in about fifty minutes after he first fell, he resigned his spirit without a sigh. GREENWICH HOSPITALO- A fire broke oirt in the Infirmary of this noble edifice about one o'clock this morning. In began in the N. W. angle, and the inte- rior of the whole north and west sides were totally de- molished. The fire began in the assistant surgeon's room, which had been for some time uninhabited ; and there being no stove, a fire was made 011 the hearth to render the place habitable. Through some inter- stices near til? heaftll, the fife penetrated, and befere the least notice was taken'of it, the beams under the floor were burning most intensely. The alarm was then immediately given, anil nothing could exceed in terror the- efles and groans of the sick within, mingled with the tumult aud shouting of the crow d w ithout The first care of those who had assembled to lend their assistance, was the removal of the sick ; and we are happy to state, that every person in the infirmary was brought out in safety. This was, however, a very perilous effort, as the roof llad then begun to burn, and the lead, as it melted, poured down the partitions. From the attic story, the flames continued to make a destructive progress dow nwards, and at three o'clock, when the engines arrived, the whole building, ivith the exception of the eastern wing, and the houses of the physician anil surgeon, was one entire furnace. The iron bedsteads, red hot with the surrounding fire, gave a kind of deepened colour to the flame, which threw a Steady equal light over the whole horizon. The illuminated appearance ofthe neighbouring ex- tensive buildings, the reflected glare from the Thames, the range of shipping rendered visible to an immense distance by the brilliant clement, are described as a night scene the most sublimely picturesque ; while the dangerous situation of those who assisted in extinguish- ing the fire, and the wretched appearance ot* the poor veterans, who had just escaped its fury, must have had tiie interest of real tragedy, and excited every emotion of terror and pity. The fire was got under about tikic o'clock. The first water that was obtain- ed was from the proprietor of a steam- engine, fronting the building, but this supply would soon have been exhausted, had not the firemen, with their usual dili- gence and activity, broke up the pavement and cut open the main- pipes, when a most plentiful supply was procured. No lives were lost, but one of the pa- tients had his leg broken by a fall down stairs.

THE bulletins of liis Majesty's health, issued since our last, have been to the following effect: —" H'inds. ir ( utile, Ocl. 3.— His Majesty contiuues in fhe same state." His Majesty's symptoms have resumed a tranquillity that augvrs favourably, ami the doom that a few days past was excited by the fear of a relapse has now sub- sided. The time is almost approached, when the quarterly report on the slate of the King's malady must he made by the Queen's Council to the Privy Council. It cannot be protracted beyond Saturday. It becomes, therefore, a matter of curious speculation what the na- ture ofthe report will be, aud what is likely to follow lqion it. Rumour says that t* o of the Physicians s'iil encourage the hope of the King's recovery— and that consequently there is likely to be a don' Iful oninioii pronounced oil the subject. If this should prove to be the case, then the restricted Regency will remain until the appointed period of its close. There is no arrival from Spain or Portugal. The result ofthe deliberations of tii • Cabinet Coun- cil, vesterdav, is sa d to have been, that military pon- itession is to he immediately taken of Sicily, and that Lord William Beiitmck is ' to return thither for that purpose.— F. vg. Chron. We received this morning American papers to the 31, and letters to the 4th ult.—" BOSTON, SEPT. 2. Tlie last Baltim re Fedora. Republican has the follow- ing amide:— Tue President has, at the demand id" the British M. nister, disavowed any orders as hav- ing occasioned the chase and battle with the Little Belt, nnd agreed to call a Naval Court upon the con- duct of Capt. Rodgeis, as we intimated some time ago, upon the aut loritv of letters from Washington." ^ Private letters of the 3d corroborate the above statement. At leneth the French papers have condescended to make some mention of tiie engagement with the Bou- logne dotilln, but they confine that mention to the first day, staling, under the head of Boulogne, that " one English frigate having ( on the 20lh ult.) thought fit to approach in order lo observe what was passing in the Roads, his Majesty immcd'ately ordered out a French frigate, which, in " full sail, advanced against the ene- my's vessel, but the latter sheer, J off-. iud disappear- ed 11 t The transactions of the 21st are passed over altogether, Tne assertion in an English paper that two licences had been given to import coffee into France lias pro- duced a positive contradiction. No licences have been granted, and we tire told to expect new and more extensive and energetic measures to secure the strict execution of the. Continental Blockade. This is in itself a confession that the loruier ones were not effectual. The publication of two intercepted let'ers in an English paper has drawn forth from one of the minor papers a tirade a. amst this country, in which we are accused of everv thing that is immoral. A display is then made of die military force of France. At Koch- fort there are 15,000 men ; Toulon 20,000; in Italy more than 100,000. " It is not, therefore," adds the Paris Editor, " the fear of stripping our northern frontiers flat prevents the sending of troops into Spain." What is it then? Bonaparte was expected in Hamburgh on the 25th inst. to have an interview with the King of Denmark, the object of which was supposed to be some arrange- ment relative to the ports in the Baltic and Holstein, which it is said Bonaparte is anxious to have placed more mimediateli under his control. A mail fr m Jersey and Guernsey, with letters to the 2d, airivnl this morning. The Governor aud Stales continue to adopt measures for enabling the Islands to resist any attempt made against tlieuu It was generally expected that an invasion would be attempted, and the inhabitants had iu consequence been arme 1. By letters received from Curacoa of the 15th of \ u- gus . it appears that Gen. Miranda has been foiled iu his first attempt to subdue the city of Valencia, which bad refused to conform to the new order of things in the Venezuela. The arrival of accounts from Jamaica by the mail to the I8tli of last month, enables us to contradict the American statement of an insurrection of the blacks. It originated, perhaps, in an affray which look place at St. J. igo ile la Vega, between a party of Maroons aud some slaves and free people, which, however, was not attended with any rerious consequences. Some persons have lately been taken taken up and examined before the Privy Council of Jamaica. Among them is a person from St. Domingo, said to be Secretary to Rigaud, and a Colonel Lapointe. Tae Lords ofthe Admiralty have lately addressed a letter to Sir Henry Blackmail and Son, of Lewes, in answer to a representation made by them and other merchants, of the depredations committed by the enemy's rivaioeis iu tlieChannel, on the Sussex coast, staling, " thai measures will he taken for securing the tra ie to the utmost degree practicable."

Brice, aud Benjamin Bickley, Esqrs were sworn in Sheriffs. — William Inman, Esq. is elected Mayo* for the en- suing year, in the place of L, Ames, Esq. On Monday, John Green, Esq. was sworn in Mayor of Hereford for the ensuing year. At the swearing in of tiie new Mayor of Plymouth, Dr. Bellamy, on Monday, an Act of Parliament was caheil for by one of the Commonalty, of Charles the 2( 1, and read, containing a clause tiiat no person is eligible to be elected a mayor or chief magistrate, of any c tv, borough, or town corporate, who has not received the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper within a twelvemonth anil a day of Ins noliinatioii. After some time, Dr. B. refusing to answer the question, the election was declared void by the Common Hall. In consequence of the above Act of Parliament, both parties will go to the Court of King's Bench for re- dress. The Treasurers of the Lunatic Asylum have received from the inhabitants of the parish of Mitclieldean, the sum of 31. 4s. 6d. paid by some young men, for a riot, and the frequent disturbance of the peace of that tow n, for which offence they had been threatened with in- dictment. It is to be hoped the lenity thus shewn the offenders, will prevent a recurrence of similar outrage. A new suite of Commercial Rooms, for which a liberal subscription vvas entered into in October 1808, were opened on Monday last, in Corn- street, in tbe city of Bristol. Tbe means which are thus afforded of bringing into one focus, tlie whole trading as well as social intercourse of the place, ( for amongst the sub- scribers are men of all professions), must add to its wealth and importance. The building is a fair spe- cimen of the taste of the architect, Mr. Busby. In the centre of the principal front is a portico of" tbe Grecian Ionic order, supporting a pediment, which is surmounted by three statues ( executed by Mr. Bubb) personifying the City, Commerce, and Navigation; and under the portico is an alto- relief representing Britannia, attended by Neptune and Minerva, re- ceiving tributes from the four Quarters of the World. From the portico, two doors open immediately into the grand room, which is 60 feet long, 40 feet wide, and 25 in height; in the centre of the ceiling is a cir- cular Iantherii- light, 21 feet diameter, covered by a dome, which is borne by twelve Cayratides, or sup- porting figures, between which the light is admitted into Ihe room through twelve reticulated iron sashes ; and the whole has an effect of singular beauty and ele- gance. Tue height from the floor to the dome is forty- five feet; and from the centre is suspended a Grecian lamp, besides four others of less dimensions from the angles of the lanthern. At the back of the building is the reading- room, 30 feet by 20, and 17 feet high; there are also a committee- room and offices, with two rooms over the reading and committee rooms, and of similar dimensions, which are to be used for sales by auction. The whole of the different works and furni- ture are executed in the most masterly style, and do great credit to all the tradesmen employed. Lieut.- Col. ihe Hon. Basil Cochrane, of the 35th regiment of foot, ( lately quartered at Cirencester,) was, by the sentence of a general court- martial, severe- ly reprimanded at the head of the 6th division of the army in Portugal, paraded for that purpose between Almeida and Gallegos, on the ad of last month.

For refusing to withdraw the said offensive letters ofthe 9th and 11 th of August, notwithstanding tbeir offensive tendency was made known to luiii, and an opportunity offered lum by Major- General Camp- bell through Major- General Burne, of withdrawing the same. The eqninoxial gales, last week, occasioned consi- derable damage amongst the shipping on the coast. Oil Tuesday night the Rebecca, Captain Gardner, from Jamaica to Bristol, laden with rum, and 500 hogsheads of sugar, ( which had put into Penarth- bay, near Cardiff,) drove from her anchors, and tbe vessel and cargo were totally lost, crew saved. The Phoebe, from Oporto to Bristol, was driven ou shore near Bideford; the Captain and one man were drowned. The Venerable, Captain Parker, from Pictou to Bris- tol, is ashore on the Welsh Hook ; and tbe sloop Fer- ret, of Swansea, ran ashore near Aberthaw. A vessel came into Swansea on Thursday night, which bad lost her bowsprit ill the gale ; she saw a brig and a large ship near Lnndy, the former wholly, and the latter nearly, dismasted; but could not learn their names. At oiu- Barton fair, on Saturday last, there was a large shew of store cattle; sale dull; but fat beasts, of which there were but few, sold more readily. The sale of horses was dull, although there were many in the fair. There was an unusal number of pigs, both fat and store; tbe former sold about 1 Is. per score, and the latter rather declined in price. Of sheep there was a large supply, and such as appeared to be sound sold well. The quanti'y nf cheese was smaller than usual; prices, two- meal from 60s. to 65s. and best making from 68s. to 74s. pc- r cw t. Ouioua averaged about 2s. per peck.

SILVER TOKENS.— IU various parts of the country the want of small change has led many individuals to issue silver tokens, purporting to be of the value of shillings and other coins, but which, in most instances, are not actually worth half the sum for w hich they are issued. We hope that tbe issue of tokens by the Bank will soon remove the necessity which has given rise to a practice, w hich, if not unlawful, yet is likely to be attended with considerable public mischief: for unless the individuals who issue such tokens were, like the Bank of E iglan I, to guarantee to the acceptor the pay- ment of the. full value for which they nre issued, and capu- ble also of performing such guarantee, the persons ac- cepting them may subject themselves to a serious h » s; and as the temptation to issue them is very great, from the profit which results from it, it is much to be ap. preliended, that many perso ns do so without any in- tention of redeeming them. Counterfeits of. the tree- shilling Bank tokens are iu circulation; they are of the same size and thickness as the true one, but differ in the following particulars.— The bust and dress of his Majesty are fainter; the let- ters thicker; the wreath is badly executed, appearing swelled ai d indistinct, aud to rise higher than in the true one; the figure 3 is larger; and the letter O in token, and tiie figures 1811, hardly legible, from Ihe flatness of the die. Tntir appearance is much whiter, and they sound very dull when rung: they are of copper, thinly plated, antl worth about a penny. MOKMOIRRN RACES.

[ John Clarke's Examination resumed.] Do you remember at any time upon your return after an absence having heard tllat any banns hail been proclaimed liming your absence? I ilo not recollect that at all Did you examine the book upon your return to see whether there had been any fets incurred by the publication of banns during your absence ? Ne- va in my life. - Did you examine the book as to what had paced during your absence, to know what cereino-' nies it'any had taken place during your absence ? No, I do not recollect that ever I did.—" Do you i ter remember missing tip; books for any time, their being out of your possession in 17til or' 1785? I do not rcciMlect a time of their being out dfthc way.— Look at that entry at the end of the book, ' « od tell when you first saw that entry ( the entry of the marriage of Lord Berkeley1)? In the year 1799.— Did you ever hear of that entry before that timet No.— Did you know of its existence before? No.— Are you sure of that? I am. — You observe there are upon these leaves two letters, signed John Best, when did you ever observe those letters Upon that part of the book ? From the time or soon after the date.— What date ? The 25th December 1781.— You observed those letters soon after the date of the 25th of December 1731, that letter that now appears to be there you observed there ? Yes.— How soon after? I cannot say how soon.— Was it a week after do you think? It might be a week, three or four days or a week — Not more than that? No, I do not believe it was.— With respect to the certificate, how soon after did you see that certificate? That was I believe at the same time, I firmly believe it to be so. - Ilav'c you any re- Collection of the occasion that produced the insertion of either of those documents, tile letter orthe certi ficate? I believe it was an application from one of the parties to he married, that banns should be pub- lished for the marriage of one of the parties.— How came that to produce the entry of those two docu- ments in the parish registry? There was a suspicion, that that woman had a husband then in existenre.— What woman ? Mary Butler To whom was she going to be married ? To William Varnham.— Do yon recollect the circumstance of a suspicion entertained of her capacity to marry William Varnham? Yes. — Were you consulted upon that subject; were yon officiating at that time? No, I do not think I was consulted upon the subject. — Were you offi- ciating as clerk? Yes.- Upon the occasion of that marriage? I was I believe.— Have you a distinct recollection of the circumstance of an obstacle presented in tbe way of that marriage in the way you have described? For my own part I bad no suspicion; but there was a suspicion in the breast of some people in the parish.— Did that suspicion pro- duce a temporary delay of the marriage? I really believe it did; I canuot positively say — Was it upon that occasion, that thee two documents were pro- duced and entered in the register? I believe it was. Do you renumber your being present officiating as clerk, when the banns of marriage between Varnham, and his intended wife, were published? Upon my honour, I cannot bring my memory to that.— Then the registry of the banns of William Varnham and Mary Butler were shewn to the witness, No. 45, page 9, of tbe same book, and lie was asked; In 1784, there appears fo be au entry of banns between these two parties? Yes.— Were you the officiating clerk when those banns were proclaimed? I should rather suppose I was, as the banns are entered by me,— That is your hand- writing? Yes.— What is the date of it ? The 28th of November, 5th of December, and 12th of December 1784.— Were there any other banns pub- lished at the same time ? I do not recollect any other, I do not know that there were. Have you any tbe least doubt that you did enter these banns in the book? No.— You have no doubt? No, I haw no doubt.— Then have you any doubt that yon were the officiating clerk npon that occasion ? There may be more doubt of that; because I did not always enter tbe banns in tbe book at first; but put them on a bit of paper, or something or other, some kind of memo- randum, and perhaps in three or four days, when I had the book I copied them in.— You arc not asked w hether they were copied at the time, but whether the entry was made of a ceremony at which yon your- self had been present: were not you present at that ceremony of the publication of the banns which yon entered? Yes.— Then you are asked whether on those same days, the 28tb of November, the5th of December, aud 12' h of December J784, there were any publi- cation of banns of marriage between Lord Berkeley nnd Mary Cole? I do not recollect any.— If there had been any, could you have forgotten it? No, I do not think I could have forgotten it.— When banns were proclaimed in the church to whom used the ap- plication to be made first by the parties that pub- lication should be made in the church? Generally tin y applied to me.— To yon as the clerk? Yes.— What did you do npon that? I told the parson. — Who used to write the names of the parties whose intended marriage was to be proclaimed to deliver up to the clergyman in writing? I did it.— The clerk? Yes.— It went through your hands, the writing and the handing it up to the clergyman for publication was the act of tbe clerk ? Yes, certainly Could there have been any other publication of banns on those three successive Sundays without your knowing it? If I was at. church certainly not.— The question is, of the time when you had entered tiiese banns on tbe 23th of November and the two following Sundays the 5th and 12th of December, could there have been any other publication of banns on those three Sun- days, and you not have known it? I do not say there could, if I happened to be at church on all those days.— On either of those days could it happen and you not bear it? No.— Then the registry of the mar- riage of Lord Berkeley in 1785, in the same book, was shewn- to the witness, and he was asked, You said you first observed the entry of Lord Berkeley's marriage in the year 1799? Yes.— That was the first time of observing this entry ? It was.— Had yon ever 6J>> erved this cut leaf in the book at tbe latter part of it before that time ; yon observe it is shorter than the others? Yes, I see it is considerably.— Did you ever observe that when tbe registry was in your possession? No.— Wben did you deliver the registry up to any- body in the year 1791? When I left Berkeley in the yeai 1791, I left tbe registries in the possession of my brother.— What was Ins name? Robert Clark.— Were they ever iu your possession after the year 1791 ? No. — Up to tiie year 1791, they were in your possession? Y'es.— During that period to 1791, did you ever oh serve the bottom of that leaf being cut? Here is ano- ther cut.— Did you ever observe either of them being in the state in which they are now ? I recollect this being cut ( page 56.)— Do you remember the other leaf being cut? I do not.— Do you remember this entry w hich appears at the beginning of that leaf, the entry of tbe marriage of John Cowley of this parish widow- er, and Sarah Whitfield? Yes.— Whose hand willing is that ? The body ofthe entry is the writing of Mr. Hupsman.— You w ill observe that is not in any of ihe printed form, but altogether manuscript? Yes.— Was it upon that occasion that the lines were ruled, or had tbe lines been ruled before that? I believe it was on that occasion that the lines were ruled. — Who ruled them ? I think I ruled them.— Did you rule the whole o the pate at tbe same time from top to bot- t in? That I cannot tell; I cannot answer that ques- tion, I r. ally have no recollection whatever upon the subject.— Can yon recollect whether you ruled any thing more than that side of the leaf? No, I do not recollect any tiling at all; where it began I certainly see, but where it ended 1 know not.-— You do not re- member bow much of it was ruled at that time? No. — Was that entry of the marriage of John Cow ley the last you knew of when you. delivered up the book in the year 1791 ? Yes, tbe last I knew of when I deli- vered up the hook.— Yon stated that in the year 1799 von first saw the entry in question, where did you see it, and upon what occasion ? I saw it at Berkeley Castle.— Who shewed it you ? Mr. Simmonds.— What part of the year 1799 w as it ? It was some time in the latter end of Mnv.— When it was shewn to you at that time, did it bring any circumstances to your re- collection of there having been such a marriage as wan there entered? No, it certainly did not. - During the whole of yonr residence in the parish, did yon ever hear of any such marriage? No, I did not, until aftei that period.— Then the book of banns was shewn lo the witness, and he was asked, Have the goodness to look at the ( i) iry ofthe banns of Frederick Augustus Earl of Berkeley and Mary Cole, w ose hand writing is that in ? That I cannot tell. - Do yon know iu whose hand writing it is? I certainly do not.— Are you well acquainted with the hand writing of Mr. Hupsmaii? I have seen him write many times.— Do you believe that to be the hand writing of Mr. Hups man ? I do not know, it is a hard matter to say any thing in cases of that sort; it resembles it ve; y much, but I would not really take upon me, speaking upon oath, to say that it is or that it is not.— When did you first sec that entry of the banns? I do not know that I ever saw them till the other day.— Then it need hardly be asked you, whether you had any knowledge of that entry of the banns of I. ord Berkeley and Maty Cole being in that book ? No.— Was that book in your possession till the year 1791 ? Yes.— During the time tliat it was in your possession, bad you the least know ledge or suspicion of such an entry being con- tained ill it? No.— Were you applied to in the year 1799 upon the subject that you have now been inter- rogated uiion? Applied to.— Were you asked any questions about this subject that I have been speaking to you about ? In 1799; I think in 1799 I was asked some questions.— By whom? I think by my Lord Berks'ley.'-— What did you tell Lord Berkeley? I told my Lord Berkeley that I did not recollect. Mr. Ser- jeant Best objected to the evidence. The witness was directed to withdraw. Mr. Solicitor General and Mr. Attorney General were beard in support of the question. Mr. Serjeant Best was heard iti reply. The Counsel were directed to withdraw. The wit- ness was again called in, and asked, At the time you describe seeing the entry in tbe year 1799, and being applied to on the subject, was La ! v Berkeley present ? No.— Was Lady Berkeley, at any time in the course of enquiries made of you, present? I do not recollect that she was.— Do you mean to say that at no time Lady Berkeley herself appealed to you on the subject of this register? I do not recollect that Lady Berkeley ever did.— Had you never any conversation with Lady Berkeley on the subject? I really do not recol- lect any conversation with Lady Berkeley. - Never at anytime? No, I do not.— Were yon produced as a witness in the year 1799 nere? No.— Were you in London at that time? At Crawford par; of the time, and part of the time at Berkeley.— Wer; yon at tlia' time in the employment of Lord Berkeley ? Yes What situation had vou? Building and timber sur- veyor.— Were von in a- permanent employment in tiie house of Lord Berkeley? Not in the housf.— Was it a permanent employment by tin year? Yes, certainly. — Have yon com ounicated to Lord Berkeley what yon have communicated to- day oil the subject of the rn'ry? No, never.— Were yon brought lo London ii, 1799, whilst the enquiry was going on in the House ? I was sent for fiom Berkeley to London iu the year 1799, and I believe it was on the fourth of June in the year 1799.— How long did you remain in Lon- don then? One night.— Were you then examined on the subject? No.- Not in this House? No. — Was it upon that occasion that Lord Berkeley communicated what he did to you upon tin' subject of tile entry? Do you mean as to the publication of the 0 iiins?—- Was that the time in the year 1799 when you were first shewn the entry in question? I mean to say I was shewn it in the year 1799 at Bcikeley Ca- tle by Mr. Simmonds, neither Lord nor Lady Berkeley were at the Castle at the time.— Ai what place was it yon had communication with Lor. l Berkeley on that subject ? At Cr. inford.— At what time ? Somttin c after Ihe last enquiry in 1799, it might be a foitnight or three weeks, I cannot say.— What passed between you and Lord Berkeley on the subject of the entry ? Mr. Serjeant Best objected to the question, as the answer must be a declaration by Lord Berkeley after the lis mota. The witness was directed to withdraw. Mr. Solicitor- General was heard in support of the question. The Counsel were directed to withdraw. The counsel were again called in. The Lord Wai- singham acquainted the Counsel, that he was directs d by the Committee to inform them that tiie que- tion might be put. The witness was again called in an I asked, — State what passed between Lord Berkeley and yourself ou the subject of this entry ? Lord Berkeley asked me it I thought it possible for him and Lady Berkeley to be asked in church by Mr. Hupsman, and I iu tin church without my knowing it; my answer was, " Not legally my Lord ;" that was the question, and that was the answer; there it began and there it ended.— What was the | mouut of the fee that wo ild have been receivable for the banns, or for the mar- riage, or either of them, or both, of persons iu this rank in life? I really never attended one; we have tint very few lords that I know of in the county.— The marriage Of any gentleman in the higher station of life? I never attended any one marriage of that description, and therefore I cannot tell what the compliment might in such a case as that be. - Did yon ever at any time receive any fee, great or small, for the publication of banns, or for the mairiage of Lord Berkeley aud Mary Cole? Never a farthing in my life.— You spoke of drawing lines in the registry; were there any pencil lines drawn before the lines iu the ink; do you remember drawing any pencil lines upon that leaf before the lines in ink were drawn? — The marriage registry was again shewn to the witness and he said, No, I do not recollect.— What is that appearance? It does appear that the lines were drawn with pencil first.— Did not you yourself draw those lines? I have myself declared I drew those lines.— Do yon remember first draw ing tiie lines w ilh pencil before they were drawn over with ink ? Yes.— You did do that? I did do that. — Was that done with pen- cil throughout the page, from top to bottom, before any part of it was covered with ink? That I really cannot say; where it began I know, bit*: where it ended I know not.— Does that circumstance of the pencil marks bring to your recollection the manlier in which the pencil lines were ruled on that page; were tlicv ruled throughout the page? No ; I really cannot say whether they were or not.— Or whether there was any ruling on the other side that leaf? I have no recollection of any such thing.— Do you re- collect whether all the compartments of that leaf were filled up with lines to receive entries of marriages, or only a part of the page was ruled for the purpose for which it was wanted? I do not recollect whether the whole of the laaf was ruled or was not.— Do you remember a man of the name of Barns? No, there were many men bv the name of Barns I recollect.— Did you ever know any man ofthe name of Richard Barns in the parish of Berkeley ? Never in my life.— Did you ever know any man of the name of Richard Barns any where? I do not recollect that I did, I knew Thomas Barns and Robert Barns, and perhaps 1 may know Richard Barns somewhere.— Yott do not know any person of that name in the parish of 15: rke- ley, or that neighbourhood? No. — Did you ever n,, ike any enquiry about him ? No.— Were any ques- tions ever put to you respecting llin ? No, I do not think they ever were to lue.— Doyou recollect being present at a marriage in the month of April 1785, basing spoken lo being present at a marriage in Mai cli 1785?— The registry of marriages was shewn to the w itness, and he was asked, By whom were the re cistiics of marriages made in tbe registry, in whose hand- writing were they usually w ritten ? Mr. Hupsman or the officiating minister.— Iu whose hand appear to be the entries in the registry in the year 1705, the body of them? That number 69 in page 24, is Mr. Hupsman's.— In whose baud- writing are those en- tries? All those in the same page, and those are Mr. Hupsman's in page 24 and page 25.— Are all those iu page 24 and 25 Mr. Hupsman's hand- writing? No, No. 72 is not.— That is a marriage on tiie 7th of Fe bruary 178.',, that is in your hand- writing? Yes.— How catne it that that entry is iu yftur hand- writing? M . Jenner, the clergyman, married the couple, and he asked me, he said, " You can write faster than I can, you Gil up the body, and I will sign it."— Do you know of any instance in which an entry of the register of marriage 13 made by either of the parties themselves who were married ? I do not remember such a circumstance. — By whom in general were the entries of marriages made, was it by the clergyman or the clerk? Chiefly by. the minister.— And it not by the minister, by whoui? By the clerk.— Do you re- member any instance of either of the parties to the marriage making the entry, and not the clergyman or the clerk? No, Idonot recollect sncha thing.— Look at the entry of Vernham's marriage, which is No. 73, in whose hand writing is that? Tnat is Mr. Hiipsuian's. Whose writing is that John Clarke, the witness to that marriage ? John Clarke's. — Whose writing is John Clarke to No. 75? That is mine.— That is a marriage on the 3d day of May, 1785? Yes.— Were you present at that marri- age? Certainly.— No. 77 in the same page, whose hand- writing is that ? That is my writing, the signa- ture.— The signature as witness to the marriage? Yes.— That was tbe 5th of July, 1785? Yes.— You were present at that marriage? Ye".— Were yon pre- sent at this which preeeeds it, No. 76? I cannot say that I was. And yet it is clear that I was from this, neither of the parties could write, and I wrote their names, and they then made their marks.— It appears tobe witnessed by twi other person!; but you were present and wrote the names of these who could not write their own names? Yes.— Look at this entry, No. 78, the 7th of July, 173:); is that your hand- writing, Jolin Clark? Yes.— Wire you present at that marriage? I wa » .— Tbe next, the 17th of Au- gust, 1785, No. 79? There can be no question about that; I wrote my name when I was there.— Were you present at the next, No. 80? Ill that case I filled up the body of the register.— Did \ ou w rite the body ofthe entry of that marriage which was on the 22d of September, 1785? Yes, I did.— Although not witnessed by you, you remember writing the body ? I do.— The 4th of October, 1785, whose hand- is riting is that, No. 81 i That is Mr. Hnpsinan's writing.— Yon observe there are marksmen there? Yes.— Is that your hand- writing? No, I think it is all Mr. Hnpsman's ; I was not there.— Do you know either of those persons, Lawrence o » Watkins? Law- rence was the sexton; he is dead.— What is Watkins? Watkins is living now ; lie is a tailor.— Did either of them act as clerk? Lawrence acted as clerk in theab- seticcof Pruett; and some little weekly duty lie did per- form — I- that your hand- writing to the next? No, that isMr. Hupsman's.— Doyou remember any thing of that marriage? No, I was not present at it.— Here is the name of Robert Clark ? Yes, he was my brother.— No. 83, the 13th of October, 1785, were you present at that marriage, or do you know any thing of it? No.— Whose writing is this John Wilts- his mark ?" I conceive that to be Mr. Hupsiuan's.— The marriage o: i the 231 of October is witnessed by you? I dare say, I had the gout at that time. — No. 84, on the 23d of October 1785; here is John Clark, is that your hand- writing? Yes.— No. 85, on the 30th October 1785, the register is witnessed by you? Yes. — And ou file 28th of December ? Yes.— That is all in the year 1785? Yes.— The year 1785 has been eone through to show the number of marriages in that year, at which you appear to have been personally present; do you remember that you received the fees on those mar- riages in the year 1785 thaf- are entered in the hook? No, I do not recollect receiving the whole of the fees; I dare say my brother received the fees when he was there.— Did he afterwards account to yon for them? 1 really do not think he did account to me for them ; I cannot say.— Do you remember any thing about it one way or the other ? I do not.— Did you ever at any time employ as a clerk a man of the name of Barns ? No, I did not.— Do you rs- member Pruett officiating at any time about that period, you observe his name is not any where here ? No, it is not.— Do any of those entries in the year 1785 appear to be in the hand writing of Prnctt? They do not.— Not one of them? Not one that I have seen.— Look at the entries ofthe banns iu this church hook for the year 1784, begin- ning in February 1734, and see whether there is any- one of them in the hand- writing of Pruett? The wit- ness looked at the entries.— The first is No. 38, page 8— Din you know- the hand- writing of Pruett ? Yes.— Look ov< r these entries, beginning in February 1784, ami say whether any one of them appears to be in the hand- writing ofPruelt? I do not see any one in that year.— Whose writing is all this ? Mine.— On both sites? Yes; ( pages 10 nnd It.)— Look at pages 12 and 13; are they all in yonr hand- writing ? Yes, tin. y are.— Are the entries of banns, beginning with Febru- ary in the year 1784. and ending in November 1785, in your hand- writing? They are.—( Q. by a Lord.)— Is that correct? Yes.— Mr. Solicitor General.— When did you last sec the vicar, Mr. Hupsmau? I really cannot answer that question; as to the time, I really do not- know when I saw him last.— Have yon seen him at any time since the year 1797? I really do not know that I have seen him since.— Arc you sure that you have never seen Hnpsnian siuce the year 1797? 1 am not sure, but I have no recollection that I have; I am not positive as to that time.— You lived in the pirish till the year 1791 ? Yes.— Did you live iu the parish of Berkeley afterwards? Occasionally.— Do yon remember Lord Berkeley living in the parish w ith the present Lady Berkeley ? Yes.— Coming to Berke- j Icy Castle? Yes.— Prior to the year 1796, in what way did tluy live together; did they ever live toge- ther as man and wife; this lady and he ? Why, it was not generally thought so.— Yon were in the employ- ment of my Lord Berkeley, at Berkeley Castle, and Cranford ? Yes.— During that time, what name did she go by prior to 1796? Miss Tudor.— About what num- ber of persons were there usually in the parish church of Berkeley in the winter- time, November and De- cember; what number of persons used generally to constitute the congregation ? I do notkuow; I should suppose from three to four hundred, bnt cannot speak positively.— Look again at this registry ( the registry of Lord Berkeley's marriage); you are acquainted with the hand- writing of Hupsinan? Yes.— Look at the words Augs. Thos. Hnpsmuii, and tell me whose hand- writing, if you know, any part of it is? All that is my Lord Berkeley's, the body of the registry; to the signature of Mr. Hupsman 1 really cannot speak, I do not know whether it is his or not.— You have of- ten seen Hupsinan write, have you not? Yes.— You are wished particularly to observe the H. iu Hnps- nian, and tell whether that is the way in which he used to make that letter? I do not know that, it is ex- actly the form ill which he usually made his 11.— In what respect does it differ? I think in the first part of the H.; bnt comparison with any other of his writ- ing would satisfy you.— The words " the mark of Rd. Barns;" look at them? That I know nothing of, I really cannot tell whose writing that is, I cannot bring it to my mind.— Do you know it to be the hand- writ: ing of Hupsman? The same answer must I give to that as I did to Mr. Hupsnian's name; I can give no other; I really do not know whether it is or not,— Look particularly at the letter R. in Richard, is that the manner in which Hupsman used to write the letter R? I never took uoticc of his writing the letter R, particularly. Cross- examin d. Look at the words " Augs. Thos. Htipsman, vicar," and tell whether it is like the band- writing of Mr. Hupstnan? It is certainly something like it; it is so near like it that I really cannot say whether it is his or not.— If you had received a note in that hand- writ- ing from Mr. Hupsmaii, desiring you to coinc to him, sh. iuld you have gone there? I think if the resem- blance as it strikes my mind at this moment, had been as near like Hupsman's as that, I certainly should have obtyed it Though you state you do not know whether it is Hnpsman's writing or not, do you not believe it is his hand- writing? I am speaking upon niy oath, and therefore I cannot say any thing more upon that subject than I have before said, that I do not know whether it is his or not.— I do not ask you whe- ther you have any positive know ledge whether it is or not, but what your belief is? I really cannot say with sufficiency to convince you, perhaps, that I believe it is. I do not know ; my mind is not impressed suffi- ciently with it to decide, as far as goes to my belief, whether it is his or not.— If there had been no dispute about this, if yon bad been shewn this without know- ing there was a dispute about it, what should you have said ? The same as I say now.— It appears that your name is signed to several certificates of banns ; though you attended marriages ill the course, of the week, did Pruett attend often on the Sunday ? In case of my illness he did.— Would you give the same answer in case of your absence from Berkeley; did it sometimes happen that you attended at Berkeley iu the course of the week, so as to be present at a mar- riage, and were absent on die Sunday? It did.— Did Pruett officiate for you on those Sundays? Yes.— You have stated, that during the time you w ere at Berke- ley you were afflicted with the gout; did your fit last so as to confine you for a mouth at a time ? Frequently for a month or six weeks.— Yon have stated, that you were absent for a month or more at a time ; were you often at those times absent a distance from Berkeley? Sometimes I have been.— Have you now any positive recollection where you were in the latter end of 1784, whether yon w ere in Berkeley or were absent on busi- ness ? Why casually absent on business when my busi- ness called me out, but resident at Berkeley.— Did you sometimes make entries of the publication of banns, though you had not been at church at the time those banns were published? Yes.— Do not you be- lieve that to be the hand- writing of Hupsman ( the signature to the banns of the marriage of Lord Berke- ley)? I really cannot say. I cannot tell whether it is or not.— Did you officiate as clerk at the time this entry, No. 168, in the book of marriages, page 57. was made? I did.— How do you know that you officiated as clerk upon that occasion ? My mind; recollect it; I remem- ber the circumstance I think.- During the time that the registry was iu your possession or you were clerk would Mr. Hupsman have had any difficulty in getting the registry any day that he wanted if ? Certainly not, save and except I had been out and tbe key in my pocket, then he would have found a difficulty, but in no other case.— Did not yon generally leave the key of the draw er with some one of yonr family when yon w ent out ? Yes, when I went out with some one of the family, or, perhaps, left it in the drawer.— Have you any doubt that those members ol the family would have delivered the registry to Mr. Ilupsman if he had applied for it? There is no doubt that they would.— Hive you any distinct recollection of ruling in pencil on this leaf? That was the in( tliod that I had, I divided it first of all with the compasses, and ruled lines in pencil, and then ruled tliein over with ink.— Is it to be understood that you only speak as to what your general practice was, but have no distinct recollection of ruling these lines? I mean to say, as I have before, that I ruled these lines.— You have a recollection of it? I have a recollection of it.— Look at the pencil marks here ( to the registry of Lord Berkeley's marriage?) I do not see any pencil lines oil lhat leaf.— Then the registry ofthe burial of Lord Berkeley on the 15th of August 1810, was shewn to the witness.— Look at that attentively ? The witness read the entry.- Do you know whose hand writing that is? I should suppose it to be my brother Henry's.— Do yon incan to say, you suppose the whole of that to be your brother Henry's writing, arc not the words Frederick Augus- tus the hand- writing of yonr brother Henry? Yes, I think so.— And the whole entry ? Yes.— Do you know whose hand- writing these are ( the banns of Lord Berkeley iu 1734?) No, I do not.— How Ion.; tia l you the custody of these registries? I conceive I had the immediate custody of them till the year 1791. Doyou recollect Lady Berkeley living at Berkeley Castle, before the year 1796, sometimes? Yes.— Did she attend church 011 a Sunday ? She did.— Did Mr. Hupsman, the vicar, attend at the Castle to attend her to church? I believe be did sometimes, I do not know that he always did.— Did lie pay her the same sort of respect, that lie would have paid toiler if she had been Countess of Berkeley ? I really do not know, I cannot say : he paid her as much respect as any gentleman could pay a lady. Re- examined. When the vicar was handing the lady to the church, did you hear whether he called her Lady Berkeley or Miss Tudor? I do not know lhat I was ever near enough to hear Mr. Hupsmaii address her; bnt w hen he spoke of lior he named Miss Tudor.— As you remember drawing these lines, did you draw them at the time you wanted to make the entry upon them, or were they drawn at any time before? That is a question I really cannot answer, but I conceive I drew them at the time they were wanted. Examined by the I. ortls. Be so good as to look at these entries in the month of December 1734, ( in the registry of baptisms), are those your handwriting? Yes.— Is that entry of the 5th in your hand writing? That entry is in my hand writing.— You see au entry of a christening on t c5h December 1784? Yes.— Were you present at that? I cannot say that I was.- Have you any recollection whe- ther you were or not? I have no recollection whether I was or was not.— Can you state at what time that entry was made? No, I cannot.— Yon will fi d ail entry of a burial 011 the 12th December 1784, do you recollect that funeral? I do not particularly recollect it, ( the entry of John Smith, of Wjnswell, pauper).— Whose baud writing is that? Mine.— Do you recollect when it was written? No, I do not.— Hosv was that book made up? If I attended funerals, I'generally entered tlieui when I came from the fune- ral, if not my deputy entered them 011 a piece of paper, and I entered them in this book, when Iliad an opportunity.— Did you know John Smith of Wans- well, a pauper? There were two or three of that name, I believe I might positively say 1 knew the man.— Can you, by looking at those entries of tbe 5th and the 12th of December 1784, take upon yourself to say whether you were officiating as clerk at Berkeley 011 the 5th or 12th of December 1784? I certainly cannot take upon me positively to say whether I was or was not upon either of those days.— Look at the signature to the entry of the marriage of Varn- hani in 1785, ( No. 73.) you have signed that as a sub cribing witness ? Yes.— Look at Mr. Hupsnian's hand- writing? I can speak positively, because I saw liiui write it, being present at the time.— Turn to the piiblication'of Vcrnliain's banns in 1784, ( No. 45,) You are understood to say that that entry was made by yourself? It was.— By whose ilircctions was that entry made ? The banns were brought to me, and I did as the regular duty enter them in the book.— Do you recollect by whom these banns were brought to you? I do not know who it was, the man or the woman, hut I rather think the woman.— That entry was inadu after the publication of the banns in church? Some- times I entered it before, aud sometimes after ; some- times the bannfl were given to me in my walk from my own house to the church, then of course I could not enter them tifc after publication.— In genet .1 was it your practice to enter them before or after publica- tion? I bad 110 general rule as to that.— Can you state whether these three entries were made before or after the publication of these banns? I cannot,— You have said that in looking at the signature Aug: Thos IIups- mau in the register of the marriage between Mary Cole and Lord Berkeley, that the beginning of the letter H. is unlike Mr. Hnpsman's usual signature, go through the signature Aug, Tho, Hnpsnian, letti r by letter, and point out wherein you think there exists 11 difference from Mr. Hiipsnjan's nsnal signature ? That part of the II. certainly appears to be different from his usual mode; and, taking it altogether, 1 really cannot give any other answer to that question than I have so repeatedly, given.— Is there 110 other letter you can point out which, in your opinion, is dissimilar from the mode in which Mr. Ilnpsmaii usually wrote ? That is too hard a task tor me.— The burial of Mr. Hupsmaii has been proved to beat Cranford, do you remember it? Yes.— Were you there? Yes, I was.— Did he die at Cranford? No, he did not.- Where did liedie? At Sydenham.- In Kent? No; nearS dt Hill. — Did you sec him after his death? I did not.— Do yon know any body who did ? I suppose the people w ho put him into the coffin did.— Do yon know any body that did ? I heard the man that made tlie coffin say that he saw him.— Y011 have said tlmt you occasionally made entry of banns at the publication of which you had not been present? Yes.— State whether at any- time by any person you were ever applied to to make entry of banns between the Earl of Bi rkelcy and Mary Cole? Never.— Do you recollect whether in the spring of 1785, any repairs were made at li e church of Berkeley? I do not recollect.—' Explain what you meant by the expression " not legally," in your answer to Lord Berkeley? I always ctuic; isi d, I may be in error perhaps, that the banns should be published in an audible voice, at a particular time of service.— You have said you remember that letter, and the certificate in the book ? I remember seeing ii. — Were they loo, e, when you remember tin in, or fined ? Fixed.— \ re y oil acquainted with the person of Mr. Tudor, Lady Berkeley's brother? Not very intimately acquainted with him; I have seen him.-- Yon know him by sight? Yes.— Do you ever re- member seeing him in the parish church of Berke- ley ? I do not. When did you give up tbe re- gistries of Berkeley church ? I left them behind me in the year 1791. With whom? With my brother.— Do yon recollect whether yon were at church on the 28th November, 1784? I have nothing to bring my mind to recollect it, I have no particular reason to suppose that I was or was not.— The same question as to the 5th of December? I must give the same answer.— And the 12th? Yes, and tbe same an- swer as to that.— Y011 having stated, that you cannot positively speak as to its being the hand- writing or not of Mr. Ilupsman iu the register of the marriage, state whether 111 looking over the various signaluri- s that have been shewn you this day, you are positively certain ofthe signatures of Hupsinan, baring that one? In most cases ; in almost all cases was I present at the time.— In those other cases which have been shewn lo you where you were not present, are you equally cer- tain ofthe hand- writing of Hupsman? I am more cer- tain of those than I am of this, ticeatiic iu all those cases Hupsinan filled up the body of the register, as well as wrote his name to it ; there is a greater lati- tude.— Were you understood to say that you were employed as a builder to Lord Berkeh y? Yes.— When were yon employed as a builder by Lord Berkeley ? I think about the year 1791 or 1792; I am not certain as to the exact time.— Were yon employed by Lord Berkeley in the year 1785? I did his business as car- penter there, bnt was not immediately employed as I was afterwards; I was wholly employed afterwards.— You worked for liini in the year 1785? I did.— Dur- ing tiie nine years you were clerk was Hupsman the rlergyinaii there lbs whole time? Yes.— From seeing Hiipsman frequently write, can you speak til win tin r Hupsmiin's hand shook or not ? In general lie had a steady hand; I think, as much as I recollect, much steadier than mine. The witness was directed to withdraw. Proposed to adjourn this Committee to Monday next, nt two of the clock. Accordingly, Adjourned to Monday next, two of the clock. ( TO BK continued ) jlaitets.
