V 30. The following letter has been transmitted by Re^ r- Ad- miral Sir Ilarry Neale ro Lord Keith, and by liis Lord- ship to the Admiralty : — Northumberland, off the Penmarks, May 24, 1812. Sttt— I li. tvie the honour to inforraf you- the object, of the orders I received from, you on 19th inst, to j proceed off L'Orient, for the purpose of intercept- I ing ttvo French frigates and a brig, lately seen at sea,.; I1.15 been accomplished, by their total destruction, at j] the entrance of that port, by his Majesty's ship under •• ray command, ( the Growler gun- brig being in com- any), under the circumstances I beg leave to relate to ynu. On Friday 22J inst. at a quarter after ten a. m. the N. W. point of the Is'te of Gron, bearing from the Northumberland north by compass, ten miles distant, and the wind very light from W. by N. they were discoveied in the N. W. crowding all possible sail before it for I.' Orient. My first endeavour was to cut tliem off to windward of the island, and a signal was made to the Growler ( seven ? miles off in the S. W.) to chase; but finding I could not effect it, the Northumberland was pushed by every exertion round the S. E. end of Grou, and, by hauling to the wind a* close as I could to leeward of it, I had the satis- faction of fetching to windward of the harbour mouth, before the enemy's ships reached it. Their comman- der soeing himself thus cut off nv. de a signal to his consorts, and hauled to the wind on the larboard ack to windward of Point Taket, and they Appeared to speak each other. I continued beating to wind- - ward between Groa and the Continent to close with them, exposed to the batteries on both sides, wnen I stood within their reach, which was unavoidable.— The wind had by this time freshened considerably, and was about W. N. W. ; at fortv- nine minutes after two P. M. the enemy ( in force as above described) bore up in close line ahead, and under every sail that could be set, favoured by the fresh wind, made a bold and determined attempt to run between me and the shore, under cover of the numerous batteries with whifch it is lined in that part. I placed the Northum- berland to meet them as close as I could to the Point de Pierre Laye, with her head to the shore, and the main- topsail shivering, and made dispositions for lay- ing one of them alongside ; but they hauled so very close round the point, following the direction of the coast to the eastward of it, that, in my ignorance of the depth of water so near the shore, I did not think it practicable, consistent, with the safety of his Ma- jesty's ships ( drawing near feer) to prosecute that pi in. I therefore bore up and steered parallel to them at the distance of about two cables' length,' and open- ed the broadside on them, which was returned by a very animated and well directed fire of round, grape, and other descriptions of shot, supported by the bat- teries, for the space of 21 minutes, and was very de- structive to our sails and rigging. My object during that time was to prevent their hauling outside the dry rock named Le Grhul ; but in steering sufli- ntly close to it to leave them no room to pass be- tween me and it, ami at the same time'to avoid run- ning on it myself, the utmost difficulty and anxiety was produced bv the cloud of smoke which drifted ahead of the ship and totii'y obscured it. However, bv the care and attention of Mr. H. Stewart, the Master, the ship was carried within the distance of her own length on the south- west side, in quarter less seven fathoms, and the enemy were in consequence obliged, as their only alternative, to attempt passing within it, where there was not water enough, and they all grounded, under every sail, on the rocks between it and the shore. The sails and rigging of the Northumberland were so much damaged, that I wis obliged to leave the enemy to the effects of the falling tide, it being only one quarter ebb, while I repaired the rigqing and shifted the fore- topsail, which was rendered entirely useless; working to windward during that time under what sail I could set, to prevent falling to leeward ; in which interval, at 5 o'clock, the Growler joined, ind fired on the enemy occasionally. At 28 mi- nutes after five, I anchored the Northumberland in six and a halffathoms water, Point de Pierre Laye, bear- ing N. W, half N. the citadel of Post Louis E. three quarters N. and the rock named Le Graul N. half E. two cables length distant, with her broadside bear- ing on the enemy's two frigates and brig, at point blank range, all of them having fallen over on their sides next the shore . is the tide left them, and expo- sed their GoppiT to us, and the main- masts of one fri- gafe ami the 1 iJJC were gone; and from 84 minutes after five till \' 2 minutes pist six ( which was near low writer) a deliberate and careful fire was kept up on them at. which time, believing I had fully effected the object of my endeavours, the crews having quitted their vessels, all their bottoms being pierced by very m my of our shot, so low down as to ensure their tilling on the rising tide, and the leading frigate Iving completely in flames, communicated to the hull from a fire which broke out in h* r fore- top. I got under sail. Three batteries fired at the ship during the whole time she was at anchor, and although the posit tion was so far well chosen that she was out of the range of two of them, the other ( to which the enerrty's vessels were nearest) reached her, and did as much e . . cution in the hull as all the lire she had been ex- posed to before. I directed the Commander of the Growler to stand in and fire, to prevent the enemy from returning to their vessels after I had ceased. At five minutes be- fore eight, the frigate blew up with an awful explo- sion, leaving no remains of her visible.- At the close of day I anchored for the night, out of reagh of the batteries on both sides, Point Taleet bearing N. N. W, half W.; S. E. point of Groa S. S. W. half W. the enemy's vessels N. by E. At ten the other frigate appeared to be on fire also ( some smoke having been seen on board her from the time the fire ceased), and at half past eleven, the flames burst forth from her ports and every part with unextinguisliablefuiy, which unlooked- for event leaving1 me nothing more to at- tempt in the morning, the brig being quite on her beam ends, and being very much damaged by our shot- in every part', of her bottom, even very near her keel, I weighed anchor at midnight, with a very light ait from the northward, with the Growler in company, profit- ing by the brightness of the moort to get to sea ; but. it was so near calm that I made very little progress, .. ad therefore saw the frigate burning from head to 3tei n all night, and explode at thirty- five minutes after j two in the morning of yesterday, leaving a portion of h- er after- part still burning till it was entirely con- sumed ; and in the course, of the day I had the- satis- faction to see, from the N. W. point of the Groa, a third fire 3nd explosion in the same spot, which could have been no other than the brig. - During the time of firing on the erierhy's vessels, a seaman, who states himself to be a native of Portugal, captured in the ship Harmony, of Lisbon, by the fri- gates, on 2' 2d Feb.

SANKERRY DSOOG, AUGUST 21.— Intelligence was brought a few days ago, that a loyal tiger had the night before taken off a native child from a neighbouring village about four miles distant, whose blood was said to have been traced near an adjacent hill, supposed to contain his den. The party accordingly set off after Tiffi? n, and reached the spot at three o'clock, in a thick low jungle, close by a very high hill. A band of col- lery horns and torn toms, consisting of about 15 performers, ascended the h 11, and at once struck up, which, together with frequent shouts had a wild and most awful effect on the imagination.— Below, all was still, every one posted and eagerly- looking out for the appearance of the huge ani- mal. Scarcely had the musicians descended half way down, when a loud cry denoted his being sprung. The direction he took lay across some matchlockmen, the whole of whom fired upon his app- oach, but with little or no effect. He " next crossed Captain Moore, who, at about 15 yards, lodged a fuzil ball in his right shoulder.—• Being enraged at the wound, he was apparently preparing for a spring, when Lieutenant Birch, by a discharge from his fowling- piece, broke his upper jaw, which felled hiin ; he instantly re- covered his legs, and at a slow pace made for the jungle, closely pursued by the party. On com- ing up with him, ij1 astonishment was great to find an officer with four p'kemen engaging the animal; one had the misfortune to break his pike in the tiger's liody, and no doubt would fallen a sacrifice if not immediately dispatched by the other four, who, on seeing the man in such im- minent danger, closed, and gave the fintshiw stroke. The ne w- comers proved to be Lieutem > i, t Nelthropp and a party on a survey near the field of action, and were making towards the platfe from whence the noise and firing came, when they encountered and cut off the retreat of the tiger.— This is said to be the largest tiger ever known to have been killed in this part of the world. His dimensions were as follows : from head to tail, 14 feet; height, 37 inches. EARTHQUAKE. — ate Extract of a Letter from a Gentleman in Ncnv Orleans, to his Friend in Aberdeen, dated Feb. 10, 18112. " We were much alarmed on the 7th inst. at 3 A. M. by a violent shock of an earthquake. Balls had been given on the preceding evening, and probably not less than 300 people witnessed it. In the grand bill- room the first shock was noticed by the lights fiom the ceiling being put in motion ; they are about five feet from the roof, suspended by a chain, and formed an angle of at least 20 degrees by the impulse given by the shock. The motion appeared to be from WNW or NW to Sli, and seemed to me more like the mo- tion of a ship in the open sea, after a storm, than any filing I can recollect. The chandeliers, when at the greatest extremity of the impulse appeared to linger about two seconds previous to returning ; this lasted two minutes. As you may suppose, it broke up tlie dancing assemblies. Ttank God, no injury was done, which appears astonishing, nor are any of the houses injured. The same evening, at 10 o'clock, another Shock was felt, but not so severe as the one in the morning. We have not felt it since. We h » d, three weeks ago, some Slight shocks, and ' tl. io. ugbt it was all over. " The Indians, and some hunters from the vast re- gions south of the higher waters of the Missouri, re- port tiiSK- Several large mountains are on fire there ;•—- and it iS" lmivers?. lly allowed, that the shocks were more felt as the western country was approached.— A friend of mine, who descended tine Mississippi about a month ago, when about 200 miles below the mouth of the Ohio, saw the dreadful effects of one, by its filling Several large trees, and bv the fallin'g of several acres of the banks of the liver. Heaven only knows what may be our fate, should the shocks be stronger, for the river is already thrte feet above the level of the- city, and rising fast; ( and it will, ere a mnnth t4a \+ r, he at least from 15 to 20 ft^ t higher), and should the embankments be destroyed), the Mississippi will certainly overwhelm the country, and should this be accompanied by demolition of houses, we ahull be in a dreadful situation." A SEW WAY TO COURTSHIP— Lately, at the house of a respectable- iarrner in the Parish of Kirk Christ, a young enamoured Stirephon, wish- tng to obtain a secret nocturnal interview with his fair Daphne, actually attempted to explote a pas- sage through the sooty stairs, efa chimney; but alas ! Fortune proved inauspicious to his desires) for owing to an unexpected Obstacle, lie Stuck fast in tlie middle-— In his efforts to extricate liims; If, he knocked down a large stone and such a quan- tity of sable dust, as to spoil two crots of cream plaeed near the fire for churning. Hi; dries bti ing distinctly heard, an instantaneous alarm pre. vaded the family, who imagined that Old Nick interided paying them a visit, not by the astrono- mer's " milky way," but through the dark medium of a reeky flue 1 The groans and cries of the incarcerated sufferer, however, still con- tinuing, a search was at length made, and the unfortunate swain discovered, halt suffocated, ih his new fashioned love trap I— Part of the chimney was obliged to be taken down for liis release, when poor Strephon, almost stifled with fear and coal vapour, presented a very woeful and gro- tesque spectacle. He has not since attempted the same road to courtship, the heal of his love, having been sufficiently cooled by the failure of his first enterprise. The occupier of the house, though he must incur the expense of repairing the chimney, will thus avoid that of having it swept! A sihgular instance of overstrained power of imagination occured at Torpoint, a small village opposite Dock, on Tuesday last. For three weeks before, R. Harris, a calvinis', residing there, had disturbed the place frequently with loud rantings and declarations that he should die between twelve and one o'clock in the night of Tuesday last, and so thoroughly were ihe lower classes of people assured of the truth of his presentments, that, at the appointed time, a crowd collefted round his door, in awful expefhttion of his antici pated decease. So much was the wretched vie- tim of credulity overcome by a conviflion of death, that he lay for several hours after his time ot warning, as he termed it, in an insensible state ( but life, it seem?, would not depart to please him, and by surviving the appointed hour he was cou- v need of the fallacy of his foolish prophecy— « During his preparations for death he covered several sheets of paper wi^ h a farrago of the most ridiculous absurdities, the most prominent feature of which wa- ( he certainty of his own salvation. CURIOUS DETECTION OF FRAUD.— The attcntiott tif the passengers in St. Paul's Church- yard, Manches- ter, was arrested on Friday se'ennight by a little boy, about ten years of age, who was weeping bitterly at the loss of a dollar, which he said had dropped from his hand, through the grating in front of Mr. Lown- des's house. Diligest scarch was made by the ser- vants, but without effect. While the boy was lament- ing his loss, a Gentleman put a dollar into bis hand and walked away. Mr. Lowndes suspecting that the story of the loss was false, desired the boy to walk up stairs with him, which he did, accompanied by a gen- tleman who had accidently called on business, and was present at the whole transaction. Having in vain urged the boy to declare the truth, he put into his hand the chain of an electrical machine, warning him, that even if he meditated a lie, he would be seized with a trembliug, that would finally destroy him.—- He was then advised to tell thetruth, and beginning to faulter, received a slight shock from the m ichine.— The terror with Which he was seized is indiscribable; and dropping on his knees he soon came to a confes- sion, that he had been in the daily piacttce of pretend- ing to have dropped a dollar or three- shilling piece, which he seldom failed to exact from some con- pas- sionate spectator. Thursday he succeeded in collect- ing a crowd near the Albion office, at the coi net of Bride- street, and his piteous distress waB relieved by a gentleman who was passing. He was suffered to depart, after a suitable admonition. The following dates and explanation of the British Orders in Council, the French Decrees, and the con- sequent Acts of the American Government, may tend to remove much of the obscurity in which these sub- jects have been unnecessarily involved : On the IGtli May, 1806, the British Government issued an Order in Council, declaring tlie coast included betweoa the Elbe and Brest in a state of blockade. On the 21st November, 1806, Bonaparte issued his Ber- lin Decree, declaring Grrat Britain and lior dependencies ita a state of blockade. On the 7tli January, 1807, the British Government issued an Order in Council, prohibiting neutral ships l'rom carry- ing on tlie coasting trade of the endmy. On the 11th November, 1807, the celebrated British Orders in Council were'issued, which declared the Conti- nental ports, from which British sfiips were excluded, in a Stttte of blockade'( except in case of ships cleared out from Great Britain), and rendered liable to ertii leirination all neutral ships trading to or from the ports of the enemy and liis dependencies. On the 7th December, 1807, Borji> parte issued his Miltta Decree, deekring that any neutral Ships which should have touched at a Hiiti. li port, or submitted to lie searched by- British cruircrs, should be liable to condemnutioa.

Mr. MARTIN ( of Galway ) said he rose to put a qnes'ir> h ro the R>> hr Hon. Bart, opposite, ( Sir J. Newport). It was, whether any application, up to the present moment, had been made to him, or any of His. friends, to accept of any office in t he- new Adm? ri « tration J He thought it probable that the Right Hon. Bart, jn the absence of another Right Hon, Gent, might be able to answer the question : and he put it without being connefled with anv parry, or without having any previous Concert with others. On the answer to this ques- tion shonld depend the manner in which he was to shape his morion on the following day. Sir J. NEWPORT assured the Hon. Gent, that he had no more means than any other Mem. her of rhat House, of giving an answer to the Hon. Gen « .' s question. • Mr. S. WORTLF. Y observed, that a great part r. f the questions put, and explanations required, from Men » her*. arose out of paragraphs '' hat ap, peared in the N wsparers. He himself had been represented as having had an interview with a cer- tain Right Hon. Gent, who took a leading part or) the opposi'e side of the House- The fact was, that he had waited on that Gent, for the sole pnr- pise of informing him that he meant to pot cer- tain questions to h- m in his place, and the Right Hon. Gent, signified his readiness to answer them when put. This was the only cause of his bav. ing had the interview in question. Lord MILTON said, it was necessary that the House should be in possesion of the intention of the Hon Gent. ( M'. Martin), as to whether he meant to bring forward his motion to- morrow ; or whether it was to be the same motion as that of * l. ich he bad g yen notice. Mr. MARTIN moved, that the notice of his motion, a* entered In the book, he read. This was done accordingly. Mr. MARTIN then said, that his pbje< 3 in making the motion wpul. d b? j, so facilitate in every possible degree the treaty that had been commit- ted to Lord Wellesley for fprming an Adminis- tration Lord MILTON said, he was not yet satisfied with the statement of the Hofi. Gent, opposite. He wished to know whether that Hon. Gen. meant to bring on his motion to- morrow or not. Mr. MARTIN said, it was extremely impro- bable that he should.' It was possible he might ; and therefore it was convenient that simethiug should remain on the paper, by which any Mem. her might have an opportunity, if necessary, of giving his opinion. He would therefore let the no. lice stand as it now did, though it was improba- ble that he should make the motion at all. His objefl was to facilitate the present negotiation for foimirg a Ministry 5 and if any obnonious charac- 1| ters should be named, it' Was fit that the Prince Re ' gent was. to hare a right of challenge against them. He should reserve to himself the right to put in- terrogatories, which had lately been e* ercised t? y a Learned Gent, and therefore he should let the motion stand as it did. HOUSE Of COMMONS- U tCNESDAY, JUNE S. Mr. CANNING informed the House, that the Marquis Wellesley has resigned into the hands of the Piince Regent the powers with which he wa- entrnsttd to form a new Administration, being unable to accomplish that objeff. Mr. CANNING Conceiving that any discussion upon this subjefl would only provoke irritation in the mind of the Public, hoped Mr. Martin would withdraw his motion, which Mr. Martin, after a few observations, consented to.

Surely, my Lord, we might Ihave at least met on terms of perfect equality, as to the discussion and arrangements of measures and sea' s; and, therefore, feeling that, for the reasons we have stated, and the strength of our party, we ought to have the majority in the Cabinet, we are desirous that the arrangement should pro. ceed upon that principle, and that Earl Grey should be the Prime Minister." Such is sta ed to be the substance of the reply of the Opposition. The two Noble Lords were to have given their final answer at four o'clock yesterday, but they requested to defer it till twelve this day. Courler- dJJict, Three a'Clocl. We mw have it m our power to inform the public, that th6 Opposition have rejeftedthe Prince Regent's offer, conveyed to them through the Matquis Wellesley: and. the Earl of Moira has, in consequence oT this refusal, received the com- mauds of his Royal Highness, to proceed imme- diately to the formation of a new Administration- The following paragraph may be considered as a kind of Bulletin, and contains, we believe, the most correct outline of the nature of the pow- ers given to the Marquis Wellesley, and of the overtures made by him, and the causes of the failure of those overtures :— [ PIJ. OT. " It true that Lord Wellesley received au- thority to form a Ministry, and that he communi- cated his instructions to Lords Grey and Gren- ville, but the extent of his authority, and the na- ture i> f his communication, were, we are sorry to say, much less satisfactory than the public ex- pectation and wishes had described them. Lord Wellesley was not empowered to discuss with or consult the two Lords on forming an Administra- tion, but to propose to them to accede to a Caw binet, four Members of which were previously named, and in which Lord Wellesley was to be First Minister. They were to name a certain limited number in the Cabinet, and with Lord Wellesley the nomination of . the rest, as well as all other offices was to remain. This proposal, we need hardly say, was rejected. It involved a principle of previous arrangement utterly new, • ftnd for that and other reasons inadmissable ;- and it implied oft the face of it, a degree of distrust of the persons to whom it was made, in which it is impossible for them, with honour to themselves, or advantage to the public to acquiesce," FROM THE COXJLIEA* It was the general report yesterday afternoon, that the negocia'ion between the MsrqHjis WelJes- ley and Lords Grey and Grenville had broken off, and that the two Vob! e Lords, would r ot fprrri part of the new Administration, which the Marouis bad announced himself to be empowered to m Ire, of such materials should set HIS opinion/, on the grounds which the Noble Lord had previously laid down as the basis of a new government." The overture to the Noble Lords is said to have been, that they should have so maiiy seats | in the Cabinet, but that particular friends and j partisans of the Marquis had been selected for j such and such places— the Marquis himself being 1 the Prime Minister. Whether five Or six seats 1 wereoffeied to the Opposition leaders and their adherents; we know not exattly ; but it is certain tha the majority in the Cabinet was to be com- posed of the Marquis's party. To sneh a propositi the'Opposition said, as soon as it transpired, that it was impossible to assent, and we have heard that the following was the su' stance of their communication or conversation' with, the Marquis :—• -,-. » • " Your Lordship has made us an overture to fcrm an Administraiion with you, and your par- tisans publish forthwith to the world, that you are empowered to make a Ministry upon y « vr basis— You leave us no alternative hut to come in on your opinions alone, though we have declar- ed, that except in one point Ouf opinions n? t, accord.. . ..''•/ " We are to baye- no free will, no freedom of discussion— we art; ift leaye our ^ principles at the door of t| ie Cabinet, and, being in the minority, shall always be outvoted should we suggest any of those measures which we have often declared to be . indispensably necessary/ What may be the strength of that party in Parliament which is sup- posed,^) side with yrur Loidsh'ip, and which rrt your Lord- hip's opinion jus'tfiM. jrou in making as an offer which hearten the face c£ it such distrust and inequality ? , Probably yotor Lordship miiy have about ten in one House, and perhaps double that number in the oiheV. • « Your Lordsfcip therefore, having obviously and confessedly no strength as a Party, and being unable out of that Party to form a Ministry, tomes to ns,- . and assuming a superiority both in prin- ciple and power, desires us to record bur inferiority and submission, who are supported by ICQ in one House, and 200 in the other, consequently- by ien lowtf JOv. r numbtrs.

On the ! 5ih the bomb « f dment was renewed from the enemy's bat- teries, ten in the morning till two in the after, nrinn, doting which time about seven shots only fell rn the town. A very hot fire was kept up on Ptfntales, and returned by the batteries. On the evening of the 17th, the packet having bepn be. calmed, they perceived a very heavy fifing from the enemy. The Nymph packet had arrived at Cadiz, and was expefled to sail the 24th inst. with mails for England; By the Priricess Eliza- beth we learn, that Ballasteros had re/ ired from beftfra Malaga. It war reported that Satilt Was to be superseded by Suchet.. A Gentleman,' just- Arrived from Paris, says, that the celebrated Advocate.

They were support- d ; by two Engl'sh ships of the line, a frigate, and i six corvettes. The Commandant received a sum- 1 mons to surrender, signed Milans, in the nnme ot Lacy, importing, that if the fort was not imme- diately surrendered, ten thousand men were ready to mount the assault. The commandant, Che- villard, replied, that a French officer never sur- rendered as long'as he had powder an I b ill, an I that if the e- cort of the flag of truce did not retire in ten minutes, it should be fired upon. On this unexpected reply, the attack commenced : the cannon placed by the English near the Capuchin convent, at the extremity of the town, opened their fire, but did no damage, except to some houses used as caverns. A battery, consisting of two large pieces of artillery, and placed on the side of the mountain, onlv'injured the town, with- out touching the fort. The enemy succeeded in effecting a breach : at midnight they attempted an assault on all points, but were vigorously re- pulsed. At last, hardvpressed by his Excellency the Commander- in- Chief, they were compelled to re- embark, after losinjf ® number of men, and the French gained pOsses » iotvT> f the battery. NUREMBERG, MAY 29.—' The following are some j: farther details with regard to the journey of their j Majesties. On arriving on the frontiers of J^ a- ; varia, they were met by the Baron de Friesen, ; Grand Chamberlain of the King of Saxony, and j M. de Gersdorff, Chief . of the Saxon Staff, who was sent to compliment their Majesties, and have the honour of accompanying them to Dresden. On the morning of the 15th, their Majesti s passed through Saxon Vogtland, and in the even- ing arrived at Freyberg, ( ft the Frzeberg, where they found the King and Queen of Saxony, who had come to m? et them. Their Imperial Ma- jesties were received with the greatest honotirs- rt | Freyberg. A fete, arranged byaM. de Trebna, Chief Inspeflor of the Freyberg mines, is much tall^ l of; there was. it is said, on this occasion, a train of more than three thousand miners carrying flambeaux, and picturesquely dressed in their work- ing suits. Their Imper- al Majesties'reside in the Castle of Dresden. Their Majestiev the Emperor and Em- press of Austria occupy the P, lace of Prince An- thony, the King's brother. ; ^ .

Our loss was small. The 50th regiment particularly distinguished itself. The success of this expedit; on cuss off all com* munication'between Marmont and Srtult; and if we may hazard a conjeflure with respeJl to Lord Wellington's motive for undertaking it, it was that which it was so highly desirable, which it was so essential to the interests and tha welfare of the country to make. That such personal animosi- ties, and such difficulties, should have prevented the so much wished for, the so highly desired and desirable arrangement, at so arduous and peri, lous a crisis, is indeed, most deeply to be deplored. In consequence of these results, I humbly soli- cited of his Royal Highness permission, and his Royal Highness gracMtfsly pleased to jri » P he conceived td'be a necessary preliminary step to It me full aiithoaity to state to this House, jf yoi r Lordships shall desire ii, all the circum- Tanc- offensive operations against $ oult.

WAR WITH AMERICA; We stop the Press to state, that'an express has arrived in town from Liverpool, with the un- pleasant intelligence that the American Govern- ment has issued a Manifesto and Proclamation, authorising their cruiseii to bring in ail ships be- longing to any Power whateyer, who have im- pressed American seamen on hoard, or who have interrupted the commerce of the United States. It had also been proposed, in the Committee of Foreign Relations, to issue let ers of marque and reprisals, and to adopt immediate and effectual measures for the defence- of the American coast. These accounts were brought to Liverpool yesteri- day, by a Dispatch Boat> whicTV left New- York on the 15th of May. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. By an arrival at Liverpool,, that left America five pays after the Sandwich packet, we learn that the American Government have finally- determin- ed - upon offensive meafnrp, agairist this country. It appeais a law is passed, authorising the Unit- ed States ships of war tftrbring iR for trial Cap" tains of ah^, foreign power that may have unlaw- fully taken, detained, or impressed any American seaman, and that orders had been given to the Commrnders of the American cruisers to scou the coast for that purpose. ' A Proclamation has been issued by Mr. Madi- » 0n, the tenor of whiieh was of a more hostile na- ture than any that has ever emanated from that Government. The Earl of Moira is, we are assured, actively employed in endeavouring to form a new Admi- nistration, on a basis somewhat rpracticab than that proposed l » y the Marqi^^ Vellesley Mr. Sheridan, we understand, co- operates with the Noble Earl. We have not yet heard what success has attended the efforts of those dis- tinguished persons, who now put themselves for- ward, and make a kind of distinct party, as the personal friends of the Piince Regent. ' We be- lieve the first application in this negociation also, is to Earl Grey and I. ord Grenville. It is generally thought, that if they endeavour to con- ciliate the print pals should fill, ;< n Administra. tion will be made up by persuading some of the subordinates^ act under the Noble Earl and - Marquis of We'lesiey, with whom, Mr. Canning will also take a leading part ; and by engag'ng some middle men to corpe in on middle terms The Marquis of' Lansdowne, Lord Holland, and Mr. Huskssofi' are particularly mentioned.— The Noble Earl received the Prince Regen ' s commands yesterday, soon after the Marquis Wellesley had communicated- to his Royal High- ness the answer of Earl Grey and Lord Grenville, which was given to the Marquis at 12 o'clock, and fnnvdia'ely laid by him before the Prince at Catlton- house. It was considered as a direct refus . l to arcede to the terms proposed. The Marquis Wellesley upon this resigned his com- mission ; and. the Piince gave his commands to the Earl of Moira.

Lord GRANVILLE— My Lords, io agree- ing in opinion as to the impropriety at the present moment, of falling for the disclosure alluded to by the Noble Maiqui , I may be permitted to statt, that in the ittle share wh'ch my Noble Friend near me, and myself, have had in the transa& ion re. ferred to, we ha » e nothing to disguise or coA. ceal, nothing that we shall not be anxious shotll J be publicly stated whenever ' he prnper moment for so doing arrives.— After Stating'thi', little else remains for me to say, nor should I have rWen upon fhj present occasion, had it no? been fc* tbe allusion made by the Noble Marquis NVrfreadfut personal animosities, which had in'e; posed cb- staclesin the way of a wishedlfrtr . arrangement My Lords, for my Noble'Fi tend'and n yseif, I tin m st distinftly say, that we were adluatcd by no fjeling of animosity, by no j- persoti^ l fr'dirg\ whatever, that we were a&'. iatet! hyaritfiing but * feeling for the public intere't*, Vdrsire for the pub- ' lie welfare, and. an anxiety to set aside tv^ ry other consideration, save thoSe which tirose put of public principles and public interests, and I do- most dk- irnflly disclaim any of those feelings of person. animosity to which the Noble Marquis has al- luded."

My Lords, his Roy- al Highness the Prince Regent, afling in the name and on. the behalf of his Majesty, was graciously pleased to lay his commands upon me to state to his Royal Highness my opinion, with the view to the forming of an Administration. In obedience, to those commands I stated to his Royal High- ness my opinion, with all that deference whhh is | due to his exalted rank, hut at the same time with all tljat freedom which, I humbly contend, it is a duty , that a Privy Councillor owes to his Sovereign and the tountry to u> e. I have thw day tendered to his Royal Highness my resiguation of the authority which his Royal Highness was pleas- ed to vest in me, with a view to ' he arrange- ment of an administration, which resignation his Royal Highness has been graciously phased to accept.' My Lords, ! deeply lament, that the most dreadful, personal animosities, that the most terrible difficulties, arising out of questions the most complicated and important, should have in- ter'pos.' d^ obstacles U> prevent that arrangement ^ mjself. had in aliwrapsa^ ioii^ B ELF AST COMMERCIAL CHROtflCL v day), we' wfere nit a& tiated by any considera- tion of points of form, but by that of principles, which, if not fundamental to the Constitution, are at least essential to the existence of a Go- vernment, with a. view to the interests and the welfare of the'country. I am also anxious to remove any misapprehension that may arise from an expression used by the Noble Marquis, and " which I confess I do not exaflly understand— The Noble Marquis has spoken of dreadful per- sonal animosities interposing obstacles in the way of the proposed arrangement. I trust that your Lordships will give me credit when I state, and that the Nofele Marquis will do me the justice to acknowledge, that in the little share I had in this transafliofi, I was not afloated by any feeling of personal animosity, but afluated alone by public considerations, arising out of my conviction- of public principles, and my, view < jf public interests. —[ The Marquis Wellesley nodded assent, and called Hear, hear. 1— My Lords, such considera- tions alone afluated my condoS in this transac- tion ; and when the proper time arrives for that conduft to be known, such wil! be proved to be the fafl : the present period, I am fully satisfied, is a most unfif moment for making the disclosure." The question for adjourning till Friday was then put and carried. CHESTER RIOTERS.— Of those who have been capitally tfonvifled, as already stated, only five have beeo l^ ft for execution, viz.— Richard Lowri- der, for everting money : Joseph, Thompson, for stealing plate ; William Greenhougb, for stealing flour; John'Temples, for stealing spoons; and John Hey wood, for destroying machinery. French P„ rpers to the 28th May have been re- ceived. Bonaparte and hiv Father- in- law of Aus- tria, with several of their respective kinsmen, have tnet at the. Coort of the King of Saxony, at Dies Hen. Baflapwte arrived on the 16. h May; the Emneror of. Austria on the 18th. Bonaparte is expefledriminediately at Warsaw. The Emperor of Russia wasr; by the last accounts, at Wilna, in Lithuania, about 200 miles from Warsaw. The Russian jinny is stated to be so numerous, that the Impst- wl. g^ a^ ds alone are estimated at 50,000 roitr. We wish these statements may prove cor- reft; but we, rather. fear that they are exaggerated; and that ike p/ weer of Russia in the field will be found hjt no tneans adequate to encounter, with any prospect of success, the immense forces that Bonap , rte has collected to oppose'them, from all the countries undei fris cpntroul. The Treasurer of the House of Industry has received- from a- friendly stranger, One Guinea, for the use of said'Institution. Died.

THE MAITVETTOUS— A story is current tn America, which has given the to njariy strange and ' e'xtraodinary conjectures among the super. » itious-. arid ignorant. It is sard, the Captain of an American ship picked up a child at sea, which he btought home to his wife, whom he direfled to be nourished with some warm milk. The stoiy goes'! that on the milk having been put on the fite, it turned into water.— On- pinting other milk into the saucepan, it . turned into blood, when the child in the woman's lap began gradually to dimi- ni » h wutU it totally ranishealH The examination of the following witnesses re la'es chiefly to the depression of trade experience. 1 at Manchester: — Mr. Tim. Wiggin, of Manchester, has bee i a general exporter in the American trade of the prin cioal articles for 13 years, and to the amount in 1810, of £ 100,000, but much smaller in 1809, an I smaller still in 1808, and thinks not so large in 1807 as in .1810. In January, 1811, - shipped nearly to £ 70,000. Since then, nothing to the United States. Considerable amount of goods now on hand : 4 or 500 packages, and goods to make np from 200 to 500. Goods on hand for " American market to the amount of £ 50,000; and no means of sending them out. Nankeens almost totally omitted in orders last two ' years; and a smaller quantity of cotton shirting, and cambric muslin, they be: ng manufactured in America. 1 Since American tride fell off, money went farther | in home- market purchases. Don't recoiled ex- j change ever at a greater discount than 10 per cent. I against this country, or in favour of it till the com- mencement of 18 U : very seldom so high one way or the other. The rise above par was during j . not specify particulars, the embargo. Before the last five years it seldom varied more than five per cent. Ordinary course . so near psr, that he generally'took that as a stand- ! ard. At the beginning of 1810, it was very near ; par. and gradually declined : at the end of 1810 it- got to and thence to 10 below par. In March, 1811, it was 11, and gradually varied to : 20} at the close of 1811 it recovered a little; and his remittances were at 15 to 17 per cent, till April, 1812; since then the discount has increased to 20 and 21 \ against England. Chiefly receives payment in bills of exchange on London or Liver- pool. Within two or three years has exported at the rate of 20 lo£ 30,300 to Quebec and Montreal: increased his shipments there since 1809; but in • 1811, and up to this time, the market there has been glutted in many branches. The heaviest parts of shipments there have been sacrificed at auflions. French manufactures were plenty, and selling low in the United States, in Jan. and Feb. ; 1812. Additional cost to consumer in France ton manufactures, within the last two or three years, in consequence of freight and insurance, he calculates to be a penny per lb.; of Havannah sugar, and something less on a pound of bowed Georgia cotton ; on ashes, 4\ r. 67. per cwt. Price of exchange with America has depended sometimes on amount of American money in London, and remitted from the Conti- nent. At the embargo, stoppage of shipments diminished the deposits in London. Understands sarsnet to be one article in which the French un- dersell us. Insurance from Boston to Liverpool is % to per cent. ; but to Bourdeaux, 20 to 25 per cent. In April his calculation of insurance frofn Boston to Bourdeaux and back again, was 40 to 50 per cent. Nankeens, chiefly made in the United States, at Providence, Rhode Island ; a different sort of nsnkeen from the Indian; the latter is preferred by a genteel person, the labour- ers wear the British nianufaflure. Understands hats are made at Boston ; so as almost to exclude our importation- Sugar refineries are also estab- lished there; price of sugars have hwn so. - frcre, mat within three or four years refined sugar has been sent to Boston, notwithstanding Ameri- can proteiffing cfuty. Glass- houses are establish- ed near Boston, and a manufactory of sail- cloth and ducks. Supposes American manufactures of certain kinds will encrease, particularly in farm- houses; and that if American produce become lower than before, they will supply their wanK In New England, coarser cloathing in a greater de- gree made at home. The greater dulies on goods by British than by American bottoms one cause oT the trade being mostly carried on in American ships ; but are also faster sailers, and carry the goods drier, & c. which gives them the preference. Insurance to France he understands to include all the risk on the cargo ; and the risk in port only arises from any disposition of the French Govern- ment to seize the goods. Bowed Georgia cotton, a little time back, could be bought in America at 5d. per pound, and delivered at Bourdeaux ( reckoning the sea. risk, at Id. and 2d. to 3d, for freight), at about 9d. per pound, not reckoning any Frerrch duties. The same has beeii lately sold at Liverpool at. from 14/. to \ 6d. By last aqcoiuits, British manufactures in Ame- rica sold rather dear, and the French cheap, they being of a different description. The cotton de- livered at Bonrdeaux at 9r/. would be boughthere at Id. a pound, reckoning a freight of \\ d. and pre- mium of insurance, & c., at 5 per cent, and no du- ty. Employment of American shipping is cer- tainly in a great degree owing to the way in which the duties are taken. Ten per cent, is added to the value of British goods, and duty estimated on tha'. Thinks it not possible to substitute French for British manufactures in America, His exports fell off in 1808, and ceased on the 1st of Febru- ary, 1811. In 1810, there was a favourable trade. British goods remain unsold, though there has been no export since February, 1811. The Ame- rican goods interfere with the sales : the opening of- trade would not much promote imports oi that kind; such. asbroad- cloths, at IOJ-. to 18/. a yard. Has attributed cheapness of French manufactures in America to the regulation for exporting net amount of cargoes imported, in French produce and goods, and which did not find a consump- tion ; but doubted whether American merchants co'ild find a market for such a surplus. If risk of capture's, taken off by repeal of Orders in Council, French goods would go cheaper by the amount of the insurance; the same to England, if America complied with French port regula- tions. Our goodi would not come into compe- tition with the French, even then, they being of a different description, and could not be substi- tuted but from necessity. Fine cloths have gone to America fiom France, but never heard of any cotton goods. Thinks, whatever difference of price may arise, that France could furnish Ame. rica only with fine cloths of woollen or cotton : what godd cloths the French manufacture for exportation have been generally too much above otjr's in price. A- ppi ehertds France cannot com- pete with us in woollens of a low description.-— Great proportion of - carrying trade between us and America is iti hands of American ship- own- ers. Repeats, that American ships are prefer- able, as being fetter sailers, though our's may be stronger and moie. durable. ' Mr. J. R. Jaffray, of London, is in the A neri- • can trade, and has shipped goods tn the Unite ! States, aitd a small quantity to Canada and. Bri- ish North America. Was. in North America recently, and in September, October, and. No- vember last,' where there was a great deal of Eng. ; sh goods : . ilsoin New Brimswick. At the two ' tst places he was unable to sell his goods with- out great loss. British goods in general were selling there at a loss of 10, and up to 50 per cent, below prime cost and charges. Believes one- half of the goods were sent with a view to get into the United States, which the precautions of the Americans prevented. Has imported nothing to the United States since the ' Non- Importation Law took effect in the beginning of 1811.— Would resume shipments on repeal of Orders in Council. He would certainly then make a very large shipment. Has considerable orders con- ditional on - hat event. Alludes to Orders in Council, April 26, 1809, " particularly. Should , feel warranted in shipping on tlva repeal alone, as he conceives that would occasion a repeal ef • he Non- Imcortation Law. His correspondents merely allude to the Orders in Council, they do They mean the Order of November, 1807, more than that of fanuary ; but he conceives that Order m.- rged in the Order » f April, 1809. Arrived in this country only about 10 moths ago. Has not read the recent Declaration of- the British Government, hut has heard of it stenor. Would ship, if America re- pealed the Non- Intercourse, even though the Or- ders in Council remained. Arrived in America at the end of August last. Has a partner at New- York a citizen of the United States. Is a native of this country. Has been an exporter to America three or four ye< rs. The fall shipment in 1810 to America was perhaps as great as any preceding year. The stock then in America he believes to be al- most entirely used. A few parcels may now get in by smuggling. Use of expensive goods may- be diminished by the distress there, among the merchants particularly. If the markets weie open he would ship a variety of woollen and cot- A'most every thing that used to be shipped would be eligible there : some small Manchester wares he should not ship, they being manufactured in America. No important rivalry as yet from Amer can manufactures.. M ire French silks there than the country wants, so that they cannot be sold to the advantage of importers Three- quarters wide French sarsnet sold at 6r. 9 French manufactures were entirely silks, cambrics, and a few laces. As to Saxon and Silesian ma- nufaCfures, he can only refer to the time of open market, when we were not undersold. Woollen goods particularly were selling at great loss in Canada, In case of the repeal of the Orders of April, 1809, should make shipments at his own risk. He should insure, with precautions for en quiry whefi the sfeip got off New- York. Would run the ri » k, without insuring against American seizure. A few low- priced cotton goods and 8tout calicoes are made in America. THE TH REOPENING BETTERS.. There is an anecdote of one of the great public schools, pretty generally related of Dr. Busby, the gr at Master of Westminister, but not con- sidered authentic as to him by those most vetsed in the traditionary records of that distinguished seminary, which bears a s: rong resemblance in in the first stages to the case of Howard the mad- man. who wrote the threatening letters, for the discovery of the author of which, One Thousand Pounds were offered by proclamation in the Ga- zette, and then claimed the reward. The cir. cumstancemay afford a precedent to the sublime souls of the advisers of that measure, for a cor- responding conclusion. The sage instructor to whom we allude, hav. ing entered his school before the expiration of one of the intervals allotted for play or refreshment, and having seated himself before the fire in his great chair, fell into a profound sleep. At this instant, an arch chap, who had been beaten off the play- ground in a contest at snow- balls, took refuge in the school- room, and having laid aside ; his first impression of awe, silently approached the sleeping monarch of the puerile people, and finding him completely under the influence of , Morpheas, slyly dropped into his pocket, which lay invitingly open, a huge snow- ball, after which he retired with all possible expedition. The bell shortly after rung for school, and the master, roused from his slumbers, summoned his class before him. The class being mustered, including the author of the mischievous prank that we have related, the sage instructor began to prepare in the usual manner to enter upon the discharge of the important duties of his office, and, with this view, thrust his hand in his pocket to search for his snuff- box. But, alas ! handkerchief, snuff- box, snuff, and all, were involved in a deluge, more destructive than that of Deucalion. The drowned instruments of the incence of the nose being drawn forth in woefully ridiculous exhibi- tion, the whole class burst into a titter, which became louder and more general, till the entire school was at last convulstd with laughter. The poor master, who wa&_ the abject of the ridicule, preserved his tempet, amidst the most lively roor. tification ; and having restored silence, as soon as the voice of authority could command attention, he produced half- a- crown from his pocket, and holding it up. in shilling temptation, offered it as a reward to any person who would discover the author of the insult offered to his dignity, by an act which, in his ignorance of the circumstances, he probably conceived more criminal than it was. — The reward, although, considering the times and the person who offered it, and those upon vthom it was intended to operate, it was as much, comparatively, as the thousand pounds now offer- ed by the Prince Regent, had no effeCl; nor, in- deed, could it well have had any, except on the auShor of the trick alone, for he, like Junius, was " the sole depository of his own secret." At length, the rest having kept silence, the auihor stepped forward and claimed the half erown j upon which, according to the invariable practice of pub- lic schools with respeCt to informers, he was sa- luted with an uuiversal hiss. Persevering in his purpose, however, he pocketed the half crown-^- and being then asked who had done the deed, he aid boldly, « I did, Sir,"— The school was as to- J nisb.' d, and the master confoundel, and at a loss how to oroceed. At length he conceived that the • onsktencv of his resentment and the maintenance of his dignity required the infliClion of a punish- ment— and, although with some awkwardness of spression, as well as of feeling, he announced his intention accordingly— but the youth with whom he was committed had too much presence of mind to quit his. advantage so easily. He appealed to his generosity, and relating all the circumstances, asked whether it was lair to punish as a crime what he had designed only as a. jest— adding, that " unless he had the fullest confidence from the mas'er's Usual good humour and liberality that, be would not only fo- give the prank, but join in the merriment occasioned hy it, it was in his power to have fhielded himself not only from punish^. ment but even from suspicion— merely by keeping his own secret," The mas'er having paused for a moment, said, ' Go, you, rascal! You have your advantage every way, and it is fit you. should— for when age and gravity ate transported by boys' tricks even for a moment beyond the bounds of temper, they lose sight of the true foundation and support of their authority, and the only chance, they have of recovering ir, is by feeling the justice of the ridicule that they ha. ve brought on them- selves, and aCling accordingly." We know not whether the authors of the thou- sand pounds Proclamation will aCt with the same magnanimity as the old school master. But it is thus far fortunate that the poor madman cannot be punished farther than by locking him ( ip and keeping him confined for life in safe custody. The unfortunate maniac asserts, that he only threatened to murder the Regent, with the view of drawing the attention of Government to the justice of his claims on the Duchy of Norfolk I LONDON FASHIONS. The following are the prevailing female fashions fir the present month —• From AdCKKMAifK's Repository of Arts, Fashion:, WALKING DRF. SS.— A round robe of jaconot or fine cambric muslin, with long sleeve and high waist, with fan ruff of lace, ornamented up the front with borders of nee lie- work or lace, and finished at the feet with ball fringe. A Spanish hussar cloak of deep amber sarsnet, lined with sea- green or white, and trimmed with broad thread lacn, put on very full. Hair disposed in bands and waved curls j a large square veil of white lace, thrown over the heal and shading the face. Half- boots amber- coloured kid, and gloves a pale primrose. Small French caps of lace, ornament- ed with a small cluster of spring flowers, on one side, are often seen in this style of costume, and have an appropriate and pretty effeft beneath the long veil. DOMESTIC COSTUME—/{ plain muslin or cam- bric round rob", trimmed round the throat with net lace, or rolls of muslin. A loose Circassian pelisse of cerulean blue sarsnet, with low curved bosom ; epaulet and cuffs of antique lace, and the skirt trimmed entirely round with a fancy fl > ss fringe or gimp, and conSned at the bottom of the waist with a ribbon, tied with short bows and ends in front. A foundling mob cap, composed of lace and ribbon the colour of the pelisse. A small sprig of geranium placed in the hair on the left side. Spanish slippers of cerulean blue kid, and gloves of a lemon colour or pale tan. Prevailing colours are, primrose, lilac, or blossom colour, and pale pink. £ From La Belle Assemhlee. J MORNING DISHABILLE— A high dress of fine French cambric or plain India muslin, richly em- broidered round the bottom with a deep border ; a demi- sleeve, ornamented a- l'antique, surmount- ing the long sleeve, which is finished at the wrist by a narrow rufSe ; the bust adorned partly en militaire, parti y^ a- l'antique, to correspond with the demi- sleeve : the whole of the upper part of the dress ornamented by a profusion of lace, and finished at the throat by an old English ruff.— Peasant's cap, with two rows of lace set on full, confined under the chin by a band formed of the same material as the cap, and terminating in a bow on the crown. Plain black kid or jean slippers. EQUESTRIAN COSTOME A habit of bright gre? n, ornamented down the front, and em- broidered at the cuff a la- militaire with black.— Small riding bat of black beaver, fancifully adorned with gold cordon and tassels, with a long ostrich feather of green in front; or a green hat with black tassels and black feather. Black half- boots, laced and fringed with green. York tan gloves. When this dress is worn as a curricle or walking costume, it is made as a pelisse without the riding jacket, and confined round the. waist by a fancy belt of black and green. An alteration has taken place in the make of the gowns, of great advantage to the bust— the fent forms a point before, and is considerably lowered on each side of the bosom : short sleeves are becoming universal, and round frocks, made lower in the back ihan for some months past, are very prevalent. High dresses still- continue to be worn only as a morning dishabille; and may adopt for a morning dress a simple frock, and sliield the neck only with a plain Palestine tippet of the same materials as the frock. The Portuguese sarsnets, an evident imitation of that beautiful article, the French levantine, has lately made its appearance. Nuns' veils, both black and white, bandeaux of various kinds, groupes of flowers, and white satin, or lace caps, ornamented with pearl tassels, and a diamond broach fixed m front, form the most prominent embelishments for the head ; but the favourite head- dress is the hair disposed of in a quantity of luxuriant ringlets, like that of Henrietta of j France, wife to Charles Ir or of Eleanor Gwynn, ! ornamented only with a few strings of pearls, for full dress, and a diamond coixib. at the- very- back ; of the head. j Fringed half boots are universally adopted by our elegantes ; and satin, silk, kid, and jean- of various colours, in the form of the Italian slipper, still continue to bs worn in full or half dress. The prevailing colours are bright greens of va- rious shades, cornelian blue, pale pinkr Maria Louisa blue, jonqui1, and slate colour,-—/^ Sttk! Asstmklttt [. MIS C F, I A N F, OU S. — n •• • ...

Usher, with two of his Lieutenants and 60. men, landed, • and after a sharp brush,, took a battery of 1- 3 guns, which were spiked and thrown over the parapet. A detachment was sent to attack another battery of four guns, which our brave Tars could not carry; and the fire from which Considet ably an- noyed Capt. Lilhurn's party, who went to the at- tack of the vessels. It consisted of Lieuts. Otter and Arnold, the surgeon of the Goshawk, and, about 60 merr. The boats were suffered to ap- proach within half- pistol shot, when the enemy commenced a desperate resistance, showing, that though they had been silent, they had not been asleep. In attacking a gun- boat, which was nor carried without a gallant resistance, Capt. Lilbum, received a mortal wound. Lieut. Arnold, in the jolly- boat, carried another gun boat, but received a severe wound in his right arm, which, it is fear- ed, he will lose the use of, and a flesh wound in the thigh. These vessels, with the privateer, were- brought o. ut; and the party which landed re- em. barked with their wounded,. though the beach Was lined with military. The loss of the Goshawk, was five1 men killed and 15 wounded— total loss 60 killed and wounded.— Capr. Lilburn's body was carried to Gibraltar, and interred with mili- tary honours. The Goshawk landed the wounded there.— Capt. Lilburn, of the Goshawk, who has fallen in the rencontre, was son of the late. Mr. Lilbtnn, Master in the Royal Navy. He was es- teemed a good oJEcer, and has left a wife and family. BELLIKGHAM.— A letter from this determined and desperate assassin to a friend in Liverpool, dated 11th May, 1812, the very day on whithhe perpetrated his crime, concludes with the fo! lov- ing paragraph, sufficiently significant of the wicked purpose formed and cherished in the, villain's mind; and contemplated with so little repugnance or re- morse as merely to be talked of by him in a li^ bt and sporting sort of style:—. " I wish my affairs were come to a conclusion;— every thing, in point of law, is in my favour; but Mr. Perceval and the Miuitry have shewn themselves mure inc itied to favour I. ord Cower than do justice to me: however, a* T am retolvtd on having justice, hi case of need, I nvili very shortly ftay a court tard to compel them to finiib the game. ! am yours, sincer- ly, " JOHN BELLINGHAM." We hear from good authority, that the alleged separation from his wife was wholly unfour. Jed; and that he was always remarkably split'tous about the welfare of his family, which must now suffer considerably from the guilt in which it can- not be supposed they participate. Any detriment to their pecuniary affairs on that account, will, we have reason to hope, be obviated by the generosity which forms a very prominent feature in the Bri- tish character, and we are glad to find, that the , example of a worthy Alderman, alluded to i- n our last number, has been followed by a donation of £ 50 from Lord G. I.. Gower.— fLi- u. Mercury.) • Many persons who have relatives abroad, whe- ther in the British colonies or in the dominions of our allies, are frequently at a loss to know when th e packets sail from Falmouth.
