MR. KREBS, Oculist, being fully enabled to cure all Diseases of ttie Ryes ( if curable), proposes to be consulted at his House, in HASHER, every MONDAY ; the olher Days he will be at Liberty to attend Patients at their own Houses where required ; and as he can with Confidence recommend his Method of treating Diseases of Ihe Kyes, not as a bold Expedient, or one of Uncertainty, hut as a known I and long- established Remedy, the Result of experienced Success, his Ancestors having been in Possession of Ihe Receipts above a Century, anil practised with unrivalled Success, a Remedy so nniveisally safe and efficacious, even when applied to Infants nf the most tender Age ; and altho' the Public are already iu Possession of the most ample Evidence, and numerous Facts of Cures which have yielded to his Coi. iYMi'MS, after everv other Method had beeu tried in vain, still the following well authenticated Cases may serve to increase the Confidence of the most doubtful; and having met with such peculiar Success in the Treatment of Diseases ofthe Eves, which had baffled Men of considerable Kminence in the Medical Profession, Mr. K. fl itters himself that those Patients who chuse to employ him will not be disappointed. I ANN Lt. ovn, Mantua- maker, Willow- Street, O^ vestry, was afflicted with a Chronic Ophthalmv for several Months, during which Time my Eye- lids were so relaxed, and my " Kyes ?" irritable, that I could not follow mv Business, and was in Danger of losing my Sight. I made Use of a Variety of Applications ( recommended by the Faculty) without Re. lief. I applied to Mr. KRBBS, at Hanmer, and have com- vlcatlv recovered my Sight, being enabled constantly to follow mv Business, and work at my Needle. During the Time I was under the Doctor's Care, I daily became better, and the Weakness of my Eyes ( which nearly amounted to Blindness) is entirely removed. As Witness mv Hand, ANN LLOYD. Witness to the above Cure JOHN LIOYD , her Father. 1 LUKB CI. AY, Blacksmith, of Welsh Hampton, near F. lles- mere, Shropshire, no HP. RF. BY cum IFY, that in April, 18111, a Spaik of Fire flew into my left Eve ( when at Work), which gave me great Pain: a violent Inflammation and Humour in both Eyes followed, which disabled me from working at my Trade ; a Skin overspread one Eye, and deprived me of the Sight nf it ; ihe other was so weak and dim, that I daily feared the loss of both ; when iu this deplorable State, I was recommended to Mr. KRF. BS, Oculist, at Ilanuier, who per- formed four Operations 011 mv Eyes, aud hss made a perfect Cure, Which I cannot in Humanity to the Afflicted with- hold publishing. As Witness my Hind, LUKE CLAY, late Invalid. The Truth of the above extraordinary Cure is perfectly well known tn tbe following respectable Neighbours: THOMAS PHIIUPS, JOHN PAY, EDWARD WHITE, and JOHN WILLIAM-.. A Child of mine had the Misfortune, when only two Years eld, to strike the Point of a Thatch Stick in his Eve, which gave him excruciating Pain, followed by violent Inflamma- tion and swelling. Notwithstanding our utmost Endeavours to relieve him, by Poultices, Eve- Waters, & c. his Disorder daily increased, and a Skin formed over Ibe whole Eye ; the other so very weak he could not bear the Light. 1 was advised to apply to Mr. KBEBS, who soon relieved him, and to our great Jov has made a perfect Cure of him. It is now upwards of three Years ago, and he has not experienced the least Relapse. As Witness illy Hand, JOHN DAVIES. THIS IS TO CERTIFY, that my Son laboured under a severe Inflammation in his Eve for some Time, which I feared would deprive him of tiie Sight of it, as he could get no Relief till he applied to Mr. KREBS, who has made a perfect Cure in one Month. As Witness mv Hand, Tilstock, near IVhilchrck. JOHN NEW BROOK. GEORGE HAHKIS, SOU of Mrs. Harris, of Longstow, near Market Draylon, Salop, was afflicted with a severe Inflam- mation in the Eve, and Opacity that nearly covered the Pupil and rendered it useless. No method lhat had been recommended, was able to procure the least Relief, resisting various Plans of Treatment, until bis Mother put him under the Care of Mr. KREBS, by whose Mode the Boy perfectly recovered his Sight, nnd can plainly see the smallest Objects. Witness lo tbe above, Mrs. HARRIS, of Lumford. In the Autumn of last Year, my Son EDWABO wns afflicted with a severe acute Ophthalmv, which, rapidly increasing, soon overspread his Eye with a iliick Skin, attended with violent Pain and great Heaviness in his Head, which soon- deprived him of the Sight of that Eye, and tbe other daily becoming weaker, I feared the total Loss of both. I had recourse to different. Applications, but without' Relief, till fortunately I was recommended to Mr. KREBS, of Tlanmer, who attended him at my House, and has made a perfect Cure of him ; the Truth of which I am willing to go a Hundred Miles to attest, if required. As witness my Hand, EDMUND JONES. Eytnn, neat IVrer'tam. Witness to the above Cure, K. K. EYTON, F.- q. THIS IS TO CERTIFY that my Son W. II. IIUC. IIES was afflicted with violent Pain, Inflammation, and strong Hu- mour in his right Eve, which brought on a large Skin, and deprived him of the Sight of il; the olher F. ve was so much affected, that he was in danger of losing it. Every thing that is usually done on these Occasions was done for him, by the Medical Men who attended him ; but to 110 Purpose, as his Disorder continued to increase with unabated Violence; when hearing of the many Cures performed by Mr. KREBS. and being strongly recommended to put him under his Care, I sent for him lo mv House, where he attended him, and 1 have the inexpressible Satisfaction to sav, has made a perfect Cure; the Truth of which I am j willing to attest. As Witness my Hand, Overton, Flintshire. ROBERT HUGHES. j ANN, Daughter of Samuel Davies, of Marchwiel, near Wrexham, Denbighshire, was afflicted with a severe acute Ophthalmy in both Eves for the space of 12 Months, to so great a degree, that when she applied tu Mr. IXREBS her eyes appeared to be in too hopeless a Stare to permit her to expect any particular Benefit; the Opacity 011 the Cornea of the right Eye completely darkened it, ihe left so relaxed and weak, as to prevent her finding her way without a Guide; innuv things had heen tried without Relief, until she became A Patient to - Mr. KRESS, who soon relieved her; the Stale of her Eyes daily improving, and in two months the Sight of both Eves was in every respect perfect ; it is now two Years since, and ' he has not experienced the least. Relapse. As witness ANN DAVIF. S, late Invalid. SAM. DAVIES, ber Father. A child of Mr. WILLIAM FORBOR, of Wixall, near Whit- church. was in Danger of losing the Sight of his right Eve in Consequence of ar. acute Ophtbalmv and Opacity of the Coinea; the usual Means were tried in vain, till they applied to Mr. KKEBS, who effected a Cure in one Month, SARAH, Daughter of DAVID DAVIRS, of Willington, in the Parish of Hanmer. and Couuty of Hint, was afflicted with a Scrofulous Opbthalmy of both Eyes, which endangered the I, oss of Sight, not being able to hear the weakest Light; she also laboured under a Scald Head, which rendered her Com- plaint more difficult. Various Applications had been trier! without Relief, till recommended to Mr. ICREBS, who has marie a perfect Cure of her Head and F. yes, Mr. KREBS has restored the Sghtof several Patients who had laboured under a Gutta Serena, and in many Instances has wrought a perfect Cure in Cases that were thought incur- able, as iu some the Disease bad continued many Years, therefore would have none despair; hut at the same Time he earnestly recommends all Persons whose Eyes are weak, or Sight dim, to lose no Time, but to apply immediately, as his Collyriums are lound to nourish tbe Eyes, and strengthen the Sight even to Old Age, and when had recourse to nt. th-' commencement of a Disease, seldom fail to put a stop to irs progress, the Parties frequently finding Relief . r, om the first application.

AMERICAN WAR.— New York and Baltimore Paperj to theafitll of October, two days later than those received by Ihe Fiugal, arrived ou Tuesday. The enemy appears to entertain very serious apprehensions of another hostile Visit in tbe Chesapeake. At New York an alarm ofthe same kind prevailed ; aud we are led to believe lhat along ihe whole line of coast similar fears were entertained. At Savannah a bombardment was expected ; aud it is clear that the demonstrations of the enemy against Canada are more than revenged by the incessant anxiety kepi up along Ibe whole line of his extensive maritime frontier.— But the war, under its present form, is no more than au iirilaling squabble, totally destitute of that splendid character w hich the treasure and lile consumed iu its support. The operations in thc field bear J a striking analogy lo the negociatiuus at Ghent— equally dilatory aud delusive— incessantly holding out hopes, only ! to be frustrated— promising decisive events, and ii variably - terminating in disappointment or disgrace Whoever has been accustomed to mark the grand and decisive policy of 1 this country towards the close of the war wilh France, ! begins to turn away with pain and disgust from the vacil- lating councils und feeble efforts, which distinguish yur dispute with America. The statement which lias appeared in several London Papers, of the Boatswain of his Majesty's late sloop Alert having entered into tbe American service, and been found 011 hn art! ihe Commodore's ship, when our flotilla surren- dered on Lake Champlain, is contradicted. He is still iu his Majesty's service, aud Boatswain of tlie Sparruw sloop of war. The Penelope wliicli arrived on Sunday at Deal front Halifax, has brought intelligence thai we are building two frigates and three brigs at lsle- aux- Noix, to remedy our disaster, and retrieve our losses on Lake Champlain. The Penelope is also the bearer ofthe following short statement ofthe naval means of America, which speaks volumes, aud we hope will not fail tu make a suitable impression 011 our Naval Administration :—" Al Portsmouth ( New Hamp- shire), tbe United States ship Independence was nearly ready for sen.

This morning the Paris Papers of Saturday last wero received. If it hc the object of Ibe Government to gag the French press, they seem lo have succeeded to the full extent of their wishes. It is difficult to conceive any thing more dull, unentertainiug, nnd unimportant, thau their present contents.— The Editor of tlie Journal de Paris has been punished for misquoting the words of Marshal . Mac- donald— Ibe most intriguing Officer in lhat service; yel no censure has been passed 011 the indecent articles which appeared ill that and every olher Paper— nav, lu the official Journal, against the British army io'America, The French Press has frequently teemed wilh invectives against Ihis country.— The conduct of our Ambassador to Ihe Congress bas been the subject of the most wanton lnirsepresenlation. & Ibe general policy of the British Cabinet bas been bitterly inveighed against: vet 110 visitation has followed ; hut the slightest political offence ofa domestic nature is immedi- ately punished. What is the inference? that tbe Govern, ment musl have approved the libels which have been written against Ibis and oilier foreign States, and that Ihe re- establishment of Ihe Bourbons has made 110 difference in Ihe hostile mind of France towards her neighbours. In Spain we regret lo find that the career of tyranny has not yet leached its limits, aud that arbitrary arrests continue to disgrace the Government of " The beloved Ferdinand." By letters from Cadiz to the 19lli tilt, we learn, that the Expedition for the Spanish settlements in America, which had been so long delayed on account oflhe fever, was aboul to sail for its destination. The troops composing it amounted to full 10,000 men.— There is 11.1 doubt ofthe Expedition being destined against the Rio de la Plala, from Ihc circumstance of 200 galetas or light carts, being em- barked, which ran be of service only on the shores oflhe Plata. The expedition-. ill sail about the end of January. PROPERTT- TAI.— A Meeting of the inhabitants of the Ward of Cripplegate Without was held on Monday, iu the Church of Si. Giles, to consider the propriety of a Petition to Parliament, against the continuance or renewal ofthe Property Tax, Mr. Alderman Wood in tbe Chair • when several spirited Resolutions were carried unanimous' ly. anda Petition lo ibe House of Commons, iu conformity to thc sense of the Resolutions, wasread and agreed to.— On Tuesday, a very numerous Meeting uf ihe Livery of Loudon was held al the Guildhall, for ibe same purpose, when several Resolutions, moved by Mr. Waithman, were agreed lo unanimously, and a Petition, founded upun ihem was read, which is lo be presented lu the House of Com! mons.— Public meetings are aboul lo be convened in th « Cilv of Westminster, Borough of Soulhwark, and County of . Middlesex, to petition Parliament against the renewal of thc Property Tax. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 15. Halifax Papers have been received lo thc 19lh ult. and Papers from different parts ofthe United Slates lo the 10th. The latter announce ihal the campaign ou the Niagara frontier has terminated ou account of ihe season' but it was, perhaps, Ihe reinforcement of Gen. Diummoud's army, as much as Ihe advanced period of Ihe \ ear, w,- i !, induced Ihe American- Commanders so suddenly t<> de- termine on retiring to winter quarters. General Brown has marched with part of his army towards Saclietl'> Har- bour, leaving a General Bissel with a force nt Foil Erie, which General Drnmiuond will probably soon reduce, and if the season permit, will doubtless pursue the Ameri- cans. The American Commanders it appears do not act j very cordially together. General Brown reproaches Com. ! modore Chauucey with nut sufficiently supporting him by I his operations 011 Lake Ontario. ' The new taxes which ibe . , American government has pruposed, have occasioned warm KN IGHT aud BROOKES, Solicitors, - Whitchurch, who are j disputes in Ihe Congress. The Legislature of Rhode Island authorized lo treat with any Persons desirous of purchas- - met 011 the ist ult, and Ibe message of llie Gmernor lo the ing by private Contract. I House of Representatives was as remarkable fur expressions I of disapprobation wilh respect lo Ihe conduct of ibe i General Government as that of tbe Governor of Massachu- | sells which was lately noticed.— The Americans, though eager to defend themselves against Ibe inroads of ihe English, are evidently lired ofthe war, anil execrate Ihe men who have brought Ihem into so much pei il. The A ational Intelligencer boasts, that the whole oflhe Loan, or nearly, which bar! only been partly sub- scribed when our troops look Washington, has been obtain- ed. But the new Loan proposed by Mr. Dallas! How is I bat to be raised ? A British force has again landed in the Chesapeake, about 60 miles below Baltimore, w here considerable alarm has of course beeu excited. Letters and Papers have also heen received front Rio Janeiro to Ihe 21st of October. To counteract the effect oflhe late ' Treaty with Great Britain a duly has heen imposed of 30 per cent, upon all goods exported from Ihe Brazils, which are not desliued to ports and territories under the Government of Ihe Prince Itegeut of Portugal. The negoeiaiiou of Lord Strangforil for the final and total abolition of Ibe Slave ' Trade under the Portuguese flag and authority is terminated, and tbe Court of Ihe Brazils has assented to its cessation w ithin tbe term of four years. An Edict to this effect was placarded at Pernambaco and the other principal settlements, Ihal the merchants might have due notice 011 the subject. Notwithstanding the ' contrary , statements in some of our letters, and Ihe preparation of four ships of war, ostensibly for the purpose of conveying ihe Prince and his suite lo Europe, it is said, that His lloval Highness has 110 present thoughtsof ic- passing | h « Atlantic.

They contain, as usual, a number - of assertions respecting Ihe.£ TongresR, which are however ai variance] viti) tbe^ acconnts whieh reach us through oilier foreign; sources of information, whilst they w « in collision wilh the friendly - feelings, which, we have been taught Io be- lieve, l> ave never ceased to subsist between Ihe four great allied Powers The Fiench Papers continue to assert that t he independence of Saxony is to be maintained , and that Prussia is to b^ indemnified on the left hank of the Rhine. Though they have nil along asserted that differences sub- sisted between fhe principal NegOciators on this and other points of discussion ; yet t heir statements are not so over- charged, as those which'have recently appeared- on the same topic,. in some Papers in this country. Tbeydo not make even a remote allusion to the reported departure of tlie Emperor Alexander from Vienna in disjrust; and do n > t contain a remark of any kind, which can countenance the probability of any such event hereafter taking place. Their contents would Wad us, tin t he contrary, to infer that the. utmost cordiality subsists between the two. ' Fan- perors; for it is announced that on I lie departure of Alex- ander, he is to be accompanied as far as Munich by the Emperor Francis, in which capital, it . is saidy they mean to pass a few days previously to their final separation. Had so important an occurrenccj as t he abrupt departure of the Russian Monarch taken place, we should have, the account through more channels than oiie, and: in a more accredited and substantial form,. than it is now before the Public. The report is destitute of « 11 probability, and we have no hesitation to set it down as groundless. If the Empdror Alexander has at any time expressed any dissatisfaction nt the march of the Negotiations, we arc persuaded that it is not directed against his latecoofedera'tes'iij ajpi?, but solely against that Power, which their generosity had, perhaps Smprudenlly, spared, and'who now requites their magnaui-? Tnity by attempts to set them by thecals, and thus blow lip from the dying embers of political passion another general conflagration. According . to a let'er from Paris, the conscripts which are ordered hack to their colours, display the great-, est discontent. They say, that l} i. c conscription being abolished, they can no- longer be compelled to serve. They are treated witlvjlie greatest caution and management, iij order not to augment the number of malcontents, which is already too large.

Some further accounls have been received from America* brought by the Zealous man of war, which has arrived at Portsmouth. When she sailed the winter had begun to set in with great severity iu Canada, and it was considered that no further operations in that quarter conk! take place until uext spring. The season, however, will not interrupt the progress of the war in the south, and we may expect some operations of moment, ou the side of Florida, during the winter. The allied Sovereigns have determined fpgive up to the Austrian Government the sum of 15 millions, taken in the chest of the administered countries by the Commission ers of the allied Powers: this sum is intended to indemnify the Court of Vienna for the extraordinary expences oc- casioned by tbe Congress. INDIA.— We have received accounts of the march of troops from the different stations ofthe army, towards the Napnul frontier, the command of which has been gjveu to Col. Richardson, where a force is assembling for the purpose of repelling some recent encroachments by the troops of the Rajah. *' We are sorry lo stale, that accounts have been received of the loss of a transport with two hundred men and three or four officers ofthe 58th regiment, which sailed a few months since from Portsmouth, to join the first battalion of that regiment in America. The transport, we understand, was lost in I " he river St. Lawrence, and all on board perished. The intelligence has been communicated in the following article from Hastings, and is confirmed by similar accounts received in town,, some of them official:—- " Hastings) Dec. 13 *-. Un pleasant intelligence has been recently received here of four officers and two bundled men, belonging to the second battalion of the 58th regiment, stationed at this garrison, and who embarked on board a transport at Portsmouth a few months ago, to join the first battalion in America, haying been unfortunately drowned near the American shores.^— Pilot. The state of the Consolidated Fund and the War Taxes, for the j » . sent quarter, is particularly promising.

Mr Madison's proposal lo double most of lite taxes t„ America did not pass without uincli strong opposition C ng, « s The Hon. Mr. Sims King, of Massachusetts, inafle a long anil animated speech in the House of Repre- sentatives against the measure. It ts a sever- crit, que upon the measures of Mr. Madi. on, whom lie compares to a obeviu^ the commands ot the Imperial Beast of We, and hoping tu have a portion of the spoil t hrown to 1, m as the reward of liis abject baseness. Mr. King hints villia General Embargo . taut articles, compared with the taxes and oppressions which this Administration have brought upon this People? As much as I abhor the tyranny and oppression of aGraf- 1oV, a North, Or a Bute, and their hireling associates in different Ministries in England, against this couniry, I would- uot do them the injustice to compare them with a set of men and measures which would disgrace- them. If a simple King of-*- England, by his corrupt servants, chastised N£ tv Etigland with whips, this Administration have chas- tised her with scorpions. A repetition of the same griev- ance will remind us of the same remedy." The American privateer Hyder Ally has been cap- tured on the East India station. We understand, that she had been previously chased for 60 hours, by two British ships of war, from whom she escaped; but she was after- wards fallen in with by the Owen GlendOwcr frigate, and captured, and carried into Pulo Fenang.— She is said to carry 20 guns, with a large crew. The Norwich Paper says, " On Friday evening, this city was thrown into alarm by the appearance of the Bruns- wick Hussars, marching into our Market- place from the Bairacks. On inquiry it appeared that an express had arrived from the Mayor of Lynn, requesting assistance, as a disturbance had broken out amongst the sailors in | hc merchants1 service at that place; after this explanation the military were marched off in that direction. It is reported that the merchants signified, their intention of reducing the wages of the seamen from £ 5 to. £ 4 the voyage; and ou the refusal of some of them to ccmply with these terms, » . « - v-. J L0ND0J\\ Monday Mght, December 19, 1814. There has not for several months been so long an interval without the arrival of French Papers. The last we received Were Of the llth ; live days are due. The gales have been tremendous, and all communication with the Continent has been so impracticable, that we realize at present the words of the Latin Poet.— Et penitus toto diviso. t orbe Britannox. All our ship letters and papers from the southern and eastern parts of the kingdom are so many records of danger and damage lo the shipping. From Brighton our accounts, dated on Saturday, vlatethat u it has blown a storm from the South- west during the last three days. Our shipping on the coast has, in consequence, sus- tained considerable tlamage. Of a great number of vessels that attempted yesterday to run from the Downs into ftamsgale, five have got 011 shore, some of them much damaged. Several other vessels have put into Margate with loss of anchors and cables." Three mails for France were on Friday waiting at Dover, not being able to put , to sea, and, from the same cause, two mails remained due from France — At Portsmouth, Plymouth, aud Falmouth, the storm >> aged wilh great violence. It appears by the last American Papers, that Ihc popular feeling of the inhabitants of the United States, is decidedly hostile to Mr. Madison, and tbat instead of his conquering the Canadas, there is every likelihood of his living to see the States of New England place themselves voluntarily under the protection of this country. Sir George Murray goes out to Canada, on the re- commendation of the Duke of Wellington, to inspect and amend the condition of the British troops in Canada.—- He wijl revieiv all the armies, repair defects, fix on stations, arrange the distribution, aiid organize the material of the army, as well drs calculate the strength, and probable de- signs ofthe enemy.

Fires.— Early on Moudav morning last, the person whoattends the gasometer at the Factory of Messrs. Ben- yons and Bage, in. thistown, imprudently entered it with a lighted candle : the gas was immediately ignited, and blew up the apparatus, together with the roof of the erection in which it was contained ; Out, happilv, the communica- tion thus made the atmosphere bad the effect of extiiu guishiug tbe fiamey without injury to the extensive premises attached. The . building aud apparatus will speedily be replaced.-— We are sorry to add, the incautious author of this misfortune was yery much burnt, and was conveyed to the Infirmary : another man, who was with him at the time ofthe explosion, escaped unhurt, by instantly laying himself at full length, with his face toward the ground. On Wednesday night, a dreadful fire broke out in the extensive clothing works of Mr. Jackson, of Uley, in the county ofGlocester, and so rapid was the progress ofthe destructive element, that the whole of the machinery, together witlrala^ ge stock of wool and manufactured goods, were entirely CO'nSYiiyied, nothing remaining but the shell of the building, " fins melancholy accident is supposed to have been occasioned by one of the shearmen carelessly throwing the snuff of a candle among some combustible materials. Melancholy Catastrophe.— Three lads ( two of them sons of a barge owner named Lloyd, from Stourport, tiie olher his apprentice) were, on Wednesday last, taking an excursion in a boat, on the River Avon, above the Bridge at Evesham : ihey had a sail affixed to it, and the water being high, they came down with the stream rapidly. Tire wind being against them, and rather contrary, as they were going through the middle arch ofthe bridge, the top of the sail struck against the wall, and instantly upset the boat; they were, eensequentlyj aH immediately precipitated into the water, and the'two sons of the owner unfortunately drowned. The apprentice, through the exertions of some men near tire spot, was saved.— What contributes to render this melancholy circumstance still more distressing is, that they Were the only children of their parents, and twins, about 13 years of age, unusually attached to each other, and ys of more than an ordinary capacity-. They had formed From the quantity of rain which has recently fallen,; our river has beeu greatly swollen for some days past; so j much so that boats Were employed last week on the pave- ments in Frunkwell and Coleham.— It has subsided con- siderably since Saturday, though some of the adjacent low ground still remains iuundaled. We lament to find tbat great losses have been sus- tained by the shipping in the recent violent weather, par ticularly on the Eastern coast.— Much injury has also been experienced throughout the country, by the blowing down of trees, and the damaging of houses, outbuildings, stacks, & c>- Forty birch trees were thrown down in Boreatton Paik, the property of Rowland Hunt, Esq. A mostimpressive sermon was preached on Sunday, the 4lh instant; at Handover^ cnurch, by the Rev. VV. Jones, forthe humane purpose of making a collection for the relief of the families ofthe unfortunate fishermen lately lost on the coast of Cardigan. The pathetic appeal of the eloquent and worthy preacher drew tears from every eye, and produced a collection at the doors amounting to about <£• 25. .' '- PROPERTY- TAX.— Wrc have always sustained our own share of the burthens of the late arduous contest with patience, and. we have contributed, as much asour exhorta- tions could have influence, to induce the public to submit to them with similar resignation. If, nfler the successful close of ihe struggle, a necessity yet remaius for furl her effort, either to discharge arrears accumulated beyond pre- vious calculation, or to defray I be cbarg. es of fresh entangle- ments iu war, we desire uot to avoid our portion of the evil, nor to withdraw our encouragement from those who, with a view to service and safety,, or lo good faith, must be content to bear it with us. But it id beyond all question, that this tax has been apportioned most unduly, as applied to small incomes, and, by the Act, is allowed to be levied with an inquisitorial rigour irreconcilable to Britons by any possible consideration, except that of its being essential to the main- , ' tenance of a war for the preservation not merely of national ! right and national honour, but even of national existence. If not freed from the tax, we hope, at least, to be freed from the slavish accompaniments which render it intolerable iu a state of liberty and security. Numerous Meetings are uhout to be held in different parts of Somersetshire, to petition Parliament on the subject of the Property- Tax.— Also, a Meeting ofthe principal merchants and inhabitants of Yarmouth is to be held at the Town- hall there, tu petition Parliament agaiust the revival of the Income- Tax, which legally expires ou the 51 h of April next. AMERICAN POLICY.— Some people may recollect the notice which was taken in the British Parliament of one John Henry.— We were charged with having employed him to intrigue for a separation of the Eastern Slates from the Union. The icorthy eitizen received a bribe from the American President of 50,000 dollars lo brrrig lhat charge against us,, and was then withdrawn from justice by his employer, being sent in a public vessel of the United Stales to France. Captain FitzcJarence goes out to India in the Corn- wallis, with Admiral Burlton. t he Captain is appointed one ofthe A dcs- de- Camp to the Govciaior General. Lieut. Filzclarenee takes his passage at the same time to join the 22d Light Dragoons. On Thursday last, a sieam boat, for public use, was put in motion on the Canal near Liinehouse. The Lord Mayor of London and other priucipal persons of ihe Cor- poration were on board, lt is about- 40 tons burden, and will convey between 2 and 3oo passengers. It proceeded a mile and returned, performing the distance in 10 minutes.— Another is building on the River Thames, of 200 tons, to be employed i\ s a packet between London nnd Ramsgate. r In the night of Thursday, the lst instant, some fiend in human form cut one of the pit- ropes nearly through, on the Colliery, pf Messrs. J. and E. Sinith aud Co. atStaveley, near Chesterfield. At an early hour iu Ihe morning, two men and a boy decended the pit, which is about 05 yards deep, lo pursue their work, and, by the special protection of Divine Providence, reached the bottom iu perfect safety; immediately afler which the rope completely separated, aud fell after them into the pit... A reward'of ten guineas has been offered, to be paid on conviction of the perpetrator of this murderous deed; and we are happy in having it in our power to odd, that from some circumstai res which have transpired, there is reason to believe lhat the offender will not escape detection. An outrage similar to the one described, was committed at the same colliery a few years ago .—- Leicester Journal.

It appeared, that on the Proserpine being carried into ihe harbour of Toulon, Donovan, wearing a French dress, accompanied by some Frenchmen, came on board the Proserpine, and wished to entice several of the witnesses to follow his example. Donovan's defence was, that he was forced iuto the service.— Sir William Scott, in passing sentence of death upon Ihe prisoner, observed, that his case was one of so aggravated a nature, that lie must not hope for any mercy.

At ten o'clock they arrived at Execution- dock; when they under- went Mie sentence of the law. During the awful procession, they exhibited manifest signs of being sensible of their melancholy bodies, after being suspended the of being giv tobe hung in chains, near the place of their execution an example to others.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 17. The Gazette of this evening contains a list of three American armed vessels, ; » nd 83 merchantmen, captured by tie Mjnndron on the New Y. ork station, under the command of Rear- Admiral Hotham.— Likewise an order for the Court going it to mourning on T hursday next, for tlie late Duke of Sleawick Holstein Augustcubourg. A moie extended plan of operations, we have reason to believe, will be immediately acted upon in Canada and on Ihc Lakes. Commodore Owen took leave yesterday of the Louis of the Admiralty, and left town for Portsmouth, previous to his immediate embarkation for Canada, where lie will proceed iu the Niohe. He will then transfer his flag lo the Lakes. Sir George Murray left town on Thursday evening lo embark 011 board ihe Niobe, at Portsmouth, to proceed by the way of Halifax to Canada; he is not going < uut, as has been slated, lo supersede Sir George Prevost, being junior to several General Officers serving in the Canadas. In the circles of government it is now mentioned, that Ministers have refused to enter into any preliminaries SHREWSBURY, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1814. BIRTHS. The Lady of the Rev. R.

At Daresbury, Mr. John Ashley, aged 70, to Miss Kinder, aged < 2S.-~ paired not matched.

Thomas Orde, who, on the dicease of the sixth and last Dnke of Bolton, look the name of Powlelt, and Vas created, in 1797, Baron Bolton, of liolton Castle, in Yorkshire.

He retired lo rest as will as usual, and was found a corpse the next morning. for their father's employment, and had designated the vessel, of which he was owner, with the title of " The William and Joseph,"— names corresponding with theii; own. Of the three persons more immediately interested in the latecn'm. con. case, t he Earl of Rostiberry is 31 years of age, the Countess of Roseberry 24, and Sir Harry Miidmay 27 years of age. Tlje case of the Countess is truly pitiable : she appears to have been an amiable young lady, literally hunted down by a man determined upon her ruin. The following apostrophe, from the speech of the Attorney- General, feelingly depicts the deplorable and degraded con- dition of the unhappy victim " Would to God, that those women of rank and character, such as Lady Roseberry had been, would, when first addres- sed by such men as Ihe defendant., take a view of those abodes, the most miserable that could be imagined, where the wife, having abandoned her family, wasfuuOd with np consolatory association, no friends Or relatives lo cheer her, no attendants but remorse and despair. If any thing could enable a woman tb resist such seduction as had been ^ prac- tised by defendant, it would be the giving her a slight op- portunity of seeing the horror of such a situation." Wc have seen a letter from Paris, which states that Ladv Roseberry bad been taken nearly drowned from tlie Seine.— Charity forbids us to suppose that this unhappy lady had therein spug'Ut the waters of oblivion ; but it is not difficult to b'elleve that so dreadful a catastrophe might accompany so fatal a departure from the paths of virtue. Left to ibe- unalleviated pangs of a reproaching conscience ; haunted by the images of infants, worse than motherless; and of a fond husband more inconsolable than a widower; would it he surprising that a frail and erring human crea- ture, driven thus to distraction, should superadd to the guilty acts against social happiness, the last offence a mortal can commit against the indignant Majesty of Heaven ? It is au impressive and an awful lesson ! The statements made in most of the Papers, which mentioned the damages ( £ 45,000) in Sir H. M ildmay's case as unprecedented, are incorrect. Lord Cloueurry and Sir H. Wellesley both recovered .£ 20,000. The allusion to two instances only of ,£' 10,000 being given, is equally calculated to mislead : lhat sum lias been given over and over again. It was recovered by Capt. Parsloe ( 1789), Mr. Martin, Lord Elgin, Lord Boringdon, and many oihers, besides Lord Grosvenor and Mr. Massey. Mr. Morrice, the gentleman who lately married Miss Seymouty the o/ ct <? of M rs. Fitzherberl, is appointed Consul General to France. The Ladies are at present in Paris, and Mr. Morrice wilt. in future reside there. Mr. Mat I hews, Ihe favourite and adm'red actor of Covent Garden Thea tre, has indulged Ihe public of Birmingham with a display of his very attractive talents— We should think his appearance here, if it could be obtained, would meet with every success that our Manager could wish for : Mr. Matthews, as a comic actor and imitator, slands unrivalled. His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, Grand Master of the Ancient aud Honourable Society of Free- Masons, has appointed Henjamin Hall, Esq M.

Tlie following affecting accident happened at Mough- the, near Newtown, Montgomeryshire, on Saturday night, the loth inst. By the sudden slipping of a quantity of earth, loosened by heavy rains that had fallen during the day, a poor cottager's house, built under a sleep bank, had its walls beaten in, aud himself, his wife, and 5 small children, were instantly overwhelmed bv a torrent of mud; two of the children were suffocated ; one of them was an infant at Ihe breast of its mother, who suffered the indescribable agony of feeling its last struggles wit bout Ihe possibility of affording it the least relief: she herself was forced upon the fire, by which ber legs were severely burnt. The husband was driven outside the house, and there fixed in the sur- rounding ruin, a distressed spectator of the sufferings of his family, without being able to stir lo their assistance.— The most prompt exertions were made. bv the neighbours, but they were unable lo. remove the sufferers from their perilous situation in less than two hours. These unfortu- nate people are in great distress, being, by their bruises,' rendered incapable of doing any thing for the support of themselves and surviving children. John Evans, a faithful servant to Mr. Richards, of Ponl Fain, near Chirk, was lately killed, in consequence of his master's cart beiugoverthrown by a heap of stoues which had been left in Ihe road ! It is well known that the Bishop of St. David's some years ago founded a college in Wales, for the education of young men for the Ministry there, who are not able to sus- tain the expense of ibe U| i: « ersilies. H is lordship has now invited those, who have btcotne qualified for order*, hut have not titles, lo send in their names to his Secretary.— He is also laudably enforcing the repairs of the several chureheR in his diocese. In some instances, it has been found necessary to institute suits in the Consistory Court of the Archdeaconry. A Welsh Church is intended to be established at Liverpool, where it is ascertained there are at least 20,000 natives of the Principality, most of whom are unable to understand the service in the English tongue. As Mr. Robert Ellis, farmer, of Carnghvch, in Llyn, was going towards Carnarvon, early 011 Monday se'nnight, be was attacked by a villain, who seized the reins of Ihe , bridle, demanded his money, dragged him to the ground, and had nearly overpowered him, when several people were heard at a short distance: this circumstance induced the robber to make a precipitate retreat, taking only the whip which he had wrested from Mr Ellis.— A poor woman was lately rbbbed, in the same neighbourhood, of £ 9, with which she was going to pay her rent. There are now in the garden of the Sportsman Inn, Carnarvon, a white and red currant tree, with ripe fruit 011 each. A singular circumstance, considering the lateness of the season. Lord Cawdor has recently adopted an admirable coile of regulations for Ihe future judicial management of his Laron Courts in South Wales, as Lord Paramount. Suppression of l. ocal ' tokens.— The Public will observe by the following provisions of the Local Token Act, as passed in Nov. J8I3, that no Loea) Token can now be legally paid or received ; and ft is staled fiom authority, that it is not the intention of Government to propose auy extension of the Local Token Act :—- " That from and after six weeks from the commencement of the next [ now the present] Session of Parliament, no gold or silver token shall puss Or circulate for money ; and every person who shall, after six weeks from the commencement of the next [ uow Ihe present] Session of Parliament, circu- late or pass any such token, shall forfeit any sum not less than c£ 5, nor more than £ 10, at the discretion of such justice or justjees as shall hear and determine such offence ; but nothing iii this act shall extnrd fo prevent any person from presenting any such token for payment to Ihe oiiginat issuer thereof, or lo discharge or excuse any such original issuer from his liability tb pay the same." The Act ahovementioiied, prohibiting the circulation of tokens afler the 19th instant, does not apply 10 Copper Tokens, which mav, therefore, be circulated as usual. Several forged £ 2 notes, v hich are excellent imi- tations of ihose of the Bank ol England, are now in circu- lation, particularly in the country. A man, who is strongly suspected to lie one of- theuefarious venders, has been ap- prehended at Liverpool. Twenty thousand ox hides have been imported at Liverpool last week, from South America.

The Anniversary of the Bath and West of En^ lan i Society for Ihe encouragement of Agriculture, Manufac- tures, and Commerce, was held at Helling House, o, u Mon- day, Tuesday, and Wednesday, and was attended by a. large number of Noblemen and Genllemeu, Members of the same,, from different parly of Ihe nation. The business of HUM meeting was uncommonly great ; inclusive of two Petit ions to the House of Lords and Commons, relative to the stale of Agriculture, and the Commutation of Tithes; and nu- merous other topics, incident In the proceeding* of ihe Society. These several objects were conducted w th much unanimity and ability, under tbe superintendency and regu- lation of the very able President of the Society, Sir Benja- min Hobhouse, Bart. M. P. who was re- electfd with accla- mation as the future President, and Uie Committees witli full approbation. The shew of caltle aud sheep for Ihe premiums of the Society, was unusually large and fine.— The nobility and other Members of the Society dined to- gether at the White Hart, each day, iu much harmony and convivial feeling; evincing, at the same time, a warm regard for the welfare of ibe United Kingdom. The Rev. Sir Charles Rich, Bart, who last week, received his rents at Beenham. and neighbouring parishes, in Berks, voluntarily deducted 25 per cent, on account of the alteration in the price of corn. Hats.— To our readers in general, and to our agri- cultural friends in particular, we offer the following infallible recipe for destroying these vermin ; which is copied from the European Mogaxinefur last month :— Take ten penny- worth of mix vomica, finely powdered or rasped, one quart of oatmeal, one pint ofboiled potatoes, half a pound of brown sugar, as murh new milk as will make the whole ( when mixed) into a dough or paste ; make it into pills about the size of a large marble; place them in Ihe paths ofthe rats; and in two or three nights they will not leave a live rat in the largest concerns.

A woman, who had complained of suffering most acute pains, had taken several prescriptions of the most eminent medical men, and at length vomited a load. This fact being confirmed, excited general attention^ and hypotheses were exhausted in trying to account for it. At length the woman voluntarily confes- sed lhat she had swallowed the toad to excite public curiosity and get money! She was taken up, and sentenced to imprisonment, but the punishment was afterwards modified, and she was sent to a mad house.— This latter hint, we think, may be improved upon, pro bono publico. A circumstance lately occurred at Paris which is likely to be attended with the most, important consequences ! and threatens a total revolution in ihe empire of— Fashion, Thiee ladies, of great beauty, appeared in a box at the Oueia, enveloped in a brilliance such as had never yet been witnessed. This unpreeeden'ed display fnst caught the attention of the pit, a* u- iual. The eye* of all spectators were soon fixed on the glorious phenomenon. Something resembling a swarm of hummingbirds, a stream of gold, blended with purple, sap- phire, and carbuncle, flowed from the shoulders fiver the fair bosoms of these apparently more than mortal dairies. What with admiration, ftiriositv, envv, and anxiety, the. Parisian elesantes were absolutely besides themselves. Crowding abbnt the box, tbey peeped through the little win'lo v. Their in- quisitive looks discovered that the object- which had made such a sensation was some kind of for, but what kind they could not for their lives make Out Ttie next, day enquiries were made at nil the mrxchnndcs des mod s; but for a long time in vain.

Having no arrivals of Barley, in consequence of tbe tem- pestuous gales, what little remained from last week sold freely at au advance of is. per quarter.

MYSTERY.— George Pears, a labouring man, who rents a cottage in Hammersmith, had recently some tiles blown off his house, and a bricklayer was employed to replace them. On moving some other tiles, he discovered a coffin, with the following inscription on a plate:— " Edward Manly Powell Pryce, Esq. only son and heir " of Sir Edward Manly Pryce, of Newtowu Hall, Montgo- " meryshire, Bart, died the 28th of April, 1788, aged 5 years « and a half." On opening the coffin, the body was found quite perfect. The premises had been formerly occupied hy a person of the name of Moreing.— O11 Tuesday se'unighi, a Coroner's inquest sat at the Coachund Horses, Chiswick, to investi- gate this mysterious affair ; when a Mrs. Mott stated lhat she remembered the deceased being brought to Mr. More- ing's, about five or six years since, froni'London, in Lake's errand- Cart, and that it was said the child was going to be buried about 300 miles off. Lake remembered bringing Ihe coffin from London to Mr. M.' s malthouse, that gentleman paying for its carriage; but he never said for what purpose the child was brought. The Jury, believing that the child bad died a natural death, and lhat it had been forgotteu, returned a- « erdiel of— Died by fhe Visitation of Ood. FURTHER PARTICULARS. Tlie body is stated to have been delivered to the late Mr. Moreing, undertaker, by the grandmother of the deceased, with a request, that he would take charge of 1 tie body until it should be in the power of the friends to remove il for interment in the family- vault at Newtown. The pecuniary embarrassments of the family, however, never admitted of its removal witb that degree of funeral splendour which they flattered themselves with the hope of being able one day to bestow upon it, and without which they would not consent to it* burial. From the time of its decease, therefore, it had remained in Mr. Morning's possession, who had placed 11 in the situation where it was found, milil it was claimed by the Pryce connexions. The widow of Mr. Moreing refusing to take further charge of the corpse, the Vicar and Cliu chwardens of Chis vick have ordered it to be deposited in a vault, that tbe friends or representatives ofthe family may still have the option of removal.

Joseph . Berhigtoii.— The present Wnrk is intended to supply what has long been a desideratum in English literature; it tiaces the declension of the human faculties from the highest jiitch of cultivation to ihe lowest state of torpor and neglect: it shews the effects produced ou jihilosophy and general literature by the arts ol the Sophists and the reveries of the Schoolmen ; it. delineates the slow and gradual jirocess by wbich learning was revived, and a new impulse given to all Ihe arts of civilized life. Thus it. will be found calculated to fill up a void of 110 small extent in the intellectual history of man; and to elucidate tlie operations of the human mind in the most extraordinary circumstances This it does, not by vague generalities, nor liv the ideal abstractions of a pre- conceivtd theory, but by historical details, bic. gra| iliic notices, incidental sketches of manners, and exjiositions of opinions, which niay be grasped by every understanding; and in which every description of readers, will find a rich variety of ins'ruction and amusement.— Tbe value of this Work will be found to be greatly increased by tbe addition of two Appendixes, the first of whieh exhibits a concise but perspicuous view of llie Learning of the Greeks, from the sixih century 10 the cajitiire of Constantinople by the Turks in 1463; whilst the second presents a brief bill luminous Sketch of the literary and scientific History of the Arabians. Both these Appendixes are replete with many curious particulars; aud to the English reader, ihev will recommend themselves at once bv their novelty and their inteiest.

IIOSEBISRRY, ' MJS. l\ SIR HARRY MII. DMAY. SHERIFF'S COURT, BfiDFORD- STRKET, DEC. 10, The defendant in this cast? having suffered judgment to go by default, a Jury was assembled to day at the Sheriff's Office, at 12 o'clock, to assess the damages* which were laid at Thirty Thousand Pounds. The Attorrie\ - General opened the rase in an eloquent and ani- mated speech. He stated that Sir Harry M- ildntav, his brother, and the Karl of Roseberry, were married-' tp thiee sixers.— Lady Mildmay was dead, but Sir Harry was ot' course upon an intimate fooling with the family. The criminal intercourse complained ot took place lasl summer, while the Allied Sovereignsxvere in London. The meetings of Sir Harry Mrldnvay and f. adv Roseberry were so frequent, and their conduct so particular, that at length Lord Rose- berry and ilie Lath's father, Mr. Bouverie, forbad all intercourse. —. Laciv RoseberVv was then carried to Scotland, whither Sir Harry Mildmay followed her. He took his place in the - mail'coach as a Co'onel De Grey, and arrived at an Inn in tin* vicinity, of Lord 1 « .\> scat, announcing himself by that name. He ( hen assumed the disguise of a- common sailor, and allowed his beard to grow*, and sailed out every evening in a boat which he had hired for fhe pur- pose, Lord R.' s seat being " on ' the sea shore. About this period, Lady Roscberry, v\ bo usually retired, wilh ( he other females of ( he house, at seven o'clock, from the dining table, instead of adjourning to the drawing- room, suddenly • disappeared. / Her motions'were watched by the Hon. Mr. Primrose, her hu- band's brother," Who saw her one evening shut herself up rn ber rooin, and heard the door locked behind her. The male part of the family were then sum- moned, and on their attempting to force fhe door, Lady Roseberry opened it, and Sir Harry Mildmav presented himself as before de- scribedj and holding in his hands a brace of loaded pistols. He v as ( hen calmly but peremptorily ordered to quit the room in the precise way in which he entered it, « , nd he obeyed ( he mandate in leaping out of tire window which looked towards the sea. ' Lady R. was then ordered to her apartment, and no further intercourse iras held with her by " Lord Roseberry. Lady R. was differed an as\! um in the house of her father, but she eloped in the morning, and joined her paramour at the Inn, who carried her first to England, and afterwards to the Continents, where they liow are. The Lady ' s writing desk was examined in presence of her friends, ii er••• her departure, ?. nd ir contained a variety of letters from Sir II. Mildmav. couched in the warmest language, which the Attorney- General re- d to the Jury, and which, he contended, could leave no doubt on their minds as " to the criminal intercourse having taken place. Among her letters there was one of admonition from her father, which drew tears from all who heard it. The learned Counsel commented on these letters at great length. Mr. Attorney - General then proceeded to call witnesses in support of the case, thirty of whom were subpeened. Amongst whom were ——* lu- Solicitor- General, Lord Folkestone, Lord Binning, the Hon. Mr. Robinson, and ( he Hon. Mr. " Primrose. The principal ' Was-, however, the Right lion. Francis Primrose, brother to the Ear! of Roseberry, who de'ected the defendant at Daltiiaev Park,' eight miles from Edinburgh. The'' Defendant often entered by a'window to Lady Roseberry's apartment, in the disguise ofa common sailor, and Was surptised by Mr. Primrose and the servants, fie after- wards left Ihe house, and next morning Lady Roseberry followed him. Mr. Brougham made a most eloquent speech for the defendant, the leading feature of which was, that he was tied up by his in- structions, on tlVe part of the defendant, from casting any• Impu- lsions upon fhe truly honourable character of Lord ' Roseberry.— lie denied that any legal construction of the connexion between the parties justified the charge of incest, and urged the Jury not to exile t! ie defendant for life, bv giving damages which " his embarrassed circumstances were unable to discharge. Mr. Burchell, the Deputy Sheriff, in a very clear and able - manner, recapitulated the evidence to the Jury. They retired for shout 2 hours, and brought in their verdict— Damages Fifteen Thousand Pounds. Norses.— COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, DEC. 0.— M. AGNAY v. Bou RNE —- Thi's was an action brought by the plaintiff Alderman Magnay, against the defendant, a horse- dealer, to re- cover sixty guineas, paid for a horse w arranted sound and quiet.' wi- lt appeared that the korse, after he had been purchased, proved to be w hat is termed a crib biter, and ihe only question in the cause was, whether a crib biter is or is not a sound horse ?— Mr. Maisden, a veterinary surgeon, gave as his opinion, lhat the animal having that malady was unsound. He said, the forced respiration in the throat occasioned disease of the lungs-, w hich generally made a horse broken- winded*— Mr. White, a person acquainted ail his life with h> rses, Opposed the opinion of Mr. Marsden, and maintained that the peculiarity which made a crib biter w as more the effect of habit than disease. He had worked horses in that stale to an old age, and had never found any instance of unsoundness.— Several other witnesses deposed for and against the unsoundness of Ihe horse, the Jury, however, intimated tliat they were satisfied a, crib biter was not an unsound horse. The learned Judge acquiesced in the opinion of the Jury, and the Plaintiff was nonsuited. The Manchester Heroine.--- On Friday last, Vftvid- die aged woman applied for lelief at the Churchwarden's Offices, iti Manchester, and on being questioned as to 4* er present situation, tfnd her former life, she proved to be ofVhu't description of Heroines, of which Hannah Shell, nnd Chris- tiana Davies, have cut so conspicuous a figure in English biography, and in which Joan of Arc, and several others, par- ticularly in the revolutionary war, have done in that of Fram e. It appears, that when a girl, she vvas in the habit ot wearing boy's clothes, in which dtess she served her ' father, William Roberts ( who is a bricklayer), as a labourer : and, being tall of her age, when about 14 years old, she enlisted as a roIdler in the 15th Light Dragoons. Probably , bet extreme youth and healthy appearance might occasion a laxity of attention, for she passed muster without her sex be- ing discovered. In the course of two months, she learned her exercis- e sufficiently for all the purposes of parade; the rough- riding mastei declaiing her Ihe best rider in tbe squad of recruits with whom she was taught. She remained with the ' loth Light Dragoons, iu which she. progressively attained the ranks ot coiporal and seijeant, for twenty- one years; her sex all the time remaining a seciet to eveiy one. Perhaps the care she was under of guarding it, had the good effect of producing that regularity aud orderly conduct which recom- mended tbe pretended " William Roberts" to the favour and protection of the officers, and procured her promotion. When • she had been a soldier" twenty- One years, the Colonel ofthe regiment tendered her dis. chaige, which she demurred the acceptance of; but - being under size, by her own consent, she was transferred to the 37th regiment of foot, which regiment she joined in I BOU, at the island of St Vincents, in the West Indies, where, soon after, she'was taken seriously ill ( for the first time in her military career), of the yellow fever, when wanting some of those attentions which would inevitably lead lo discovery of her sex, she was obliged to intrust the secret she: had so well kept, to the wife of a seijeant, at a time she expected nothing but death. She, however, recovered, aud having no longer even a nominal claim to manhood, she was obliged to resume feminine, habiliments .; but si ill enamoured ofa military life, as she could no longer be a soldier herself, she became, in May, 1801, the wife of one, a private ot the 37th foot, of the name of Taylor, by whom this Amazon hav since had three children; still following the fortune of war through various climates ; during which she was, with her Husband, two years in a prison in France, from which they were released in July last, in conse- qnence of the peace On the day she landed from the cartel, her husband died, and this Martial Heroine is now a widow, still anxious, as she says, to follow a camp, as the most pleasant life of which she can conceive. In the course of her military career, - she Ins visited many distant parts of the globe, and has been in many actions, and received several wounds, which, however, were not severe, and were in parts of her body which did not betray her sex. A scar from a sabre, which graces her head, and the mark where a musket ball was extracted from her leg, are honouiabte testimonials of her service ; but she says that the two years t- he spent in a French prison, were far more difficult to support, and did her constitution more injury than her voyages to the Kast. and West Indies, her march from the Red Sea through Egypt, or her campaigns in Flanders, in Spain, and in Italy. She is, however, iu excellent spirits, and " Fights her battles o'er again," with all the ardour of Gold- smith's old veteran, who " Sh juldeiM his crutch, and shew'd how fields were won." The late Mr. Hinckley, whose extraordinary death was noticed in our last, and whose penurious habits aud eccen- tricities were so well known, was ready enough to patronise Institutions to promote the Fine Arts-, to which, on several occasions, he was a liberal contributor. He was also a sub- scriber to most of oor Hospitals, and one of the first to for- ward a; d support all works of charity, at the same time that he did < very menial office for himself to save a penny ! Dublin, December 10.— An occurrence of a very tragical description took place in this city yesterday, in the suicide of Lord Ffrench, who terminated his existence at bt. « on's chambeis in Trinity College, by a pistol, the muzzle of which he put into his mouth, in order that his purpose should be effectually perpetrated. He was, unfortunately, successful in his desperate design; his death almost imme- diately followed the discharge of the pistol.— His lordship was to have been examined yesterday, atthe Royal Exchange, respecting the Banking Establishment with which he had been connected and which had, as the public knows, stopped pay- ment ; and it was whilst he was expected to attend for this purpose that he committed the dreadlul act of his own de- struction.— Tne event created a veiy great Rensation iu the town ; those who kuc# Lord Ffrench were tr. ore especially shocked at the terrible transaction; but it was generally fell with considerable sensibility. Coroner's Verdict— Lunacy, We learn that the Commilteo appointed to consider the proposal of Government for the enclosure of the Great Forest of Brecon, continue their labours. Among other plans submitted by the Committee to Government, is that ofthe projected Road from Swansea to Brecon, nearly in the line of the Swansea Canal, which will run through a great pjait of'the Forest. This road, it is calculated, will * ave about 12 miles distance between the above towns. Government are desirous of forwarding the measure, but first wish a plan and estimate; and Mr. E. Martin, of Morriston, has, we hear, been recom- mended as a fit person to make the survey. # , A t a sale by auction of Common Land, which took, place on Wednesday se'nnight, under^ an Act for dividing and inclosing the wasfe lauds in the parish of Cascob, &<\ in; Radnorshirtj, 122 acres were sold forthe sum of £ 1845,' beiwg- upwards of £\ 5 per acre, which the Commissioners have ascertained to be sufficient lo defray the expense of dividing upwards of 2880 acres, the quantity directed to be divided and inclosed, including the expense of obtaining the Act, road making. & c. & c. Draining of Land.— From the experiments oY Mr. Efkington, iu improving land, he has, in several cases, found it practicable to raise water a very considerable height, by its Own pressure, in distant ground. An instance of the kind may be seen near Warwick, where the water is raised, from, draining a low meadow, into a mill- head, very much above the level ofthe drain, which is closely built with brick, and pud-, died with clay ' to prevent the water from oozing through. th, e joints; it then rises through a perpendicular brick chimney to the required height.—- Another remarkable instance occur-? red in digging a well, in the vicinity of London. Earl Spen- cer, for the preservation of his mansion house at Wimbledon against fire, and to supply the family with water, ordered a well to be sunk nt a little distance from the house, which was ilug to the amazing depth of near 600 feet before any spring was found. It was begun on the 31st of May, 1795, and on fhe 12th of August, P< 9b, the man who was employed in the undertaking gave a signal to the person above to draw him up, as he had found the spring, and was immersed so deep that liis life became endangered. In the space of four hours the water rose to the height of 350 feet; and during two days following, its increase was more than a foot in an hour. Though tlie e'xpence of'the Undertaking was near <£' 2000, yet his Lordship is recdmpenCed by iu utility. As there is no extent of higher ground near lhat where the well is sunk, anil as the depth of it is sohie hundred feet below the bottom of the Thames, ' fhe source of the reservoir from whence the spring'is supplied tnnst be situated at a very great distance, and must contain an immense body of water, to raise it so suddenly to sueii a height, But these experiments show, that although a person may not be able to procure the desired result from his first endeavours at draining, yet by perse- vering'iinfil he'has found tl: e head of tbe spring, he will finally succeed in the object desired, which is one of the greatest consequence and importance iu improving laud. Tnexhitu « tibitily if the British Coal Mines.— To form an idea, gays l3r. Thomson, in bis Journal for December, of thequantitvof coal contained in the Newcastle Coal Form- ation alone, let us stiflpose it to extend in length from north to south 23 miles, and that its average breadth is eight miles. This makes a surface amounting to rather more than 180 square miles, or 557,568,000 square yards. The utmost thickness of all the beds of coal put together does not exceed 44 feet ; but there are 11 beds not ivoiltable, the thickness of each amounting only to a fewinrfhes. lf they be deducted, the amount of the rest will be 36 feet, or 12 yards. Perhaps five of the other beds likewise should *> e struck off, as they amount altogether only to six feet, Aud therefore at present are not considered as worth working. The remainder will be ten yards; so that the whole coal in this formation amounts to 5,575,680,000 cubic yards. How much of this is already removed by mining 1 do not know; bul the Newcastle col- lieries have been wrought for so many years to an enormous extent, that Ihe quantity already mined must be considerable. I conceive the quantity of coals exported yearly from this formation exceeds two millions of chaldrons; for the county of Durham alone exports 1$ million. A chaldron weighs 1- 4 ton ; so that ' 2- 8 millions of tons of coal are annually raised in these counties out of this formation. New a ton of coal is very neaily one cubic yard; so that the yearly loss from mining amounts to 2- 8 millions, or ( adding a third for waste) to 3- 7 millions of yards. According to this statement, the Newcastle coals may be mined to the present extent for 1500 years before they be exhausted. But from this number we must deduct the amount of tbe years during which they have been already wrought. We need not be afraid, then, of any sudden injury to Great Britain from the exhaustion of the coal mines. It is necessary to keep in mind likewise that I have taken the greatest thickness of the coal beds. Now as this thickness is far from uniform, a considerable deduction ( I should conceive one- third of the whole ) must be made iu order to obtain the medium thickrjess; so that we may state in round numbers that this formation, at the present rate of waste, will supply coal for lOOOyears; but its price will be continually on the increase, on aceomit of the continually in- creasing expense of mining. The Newspapers abound with accounts of outrages, unprecedented in number and violence, in Scotland, and ol the extraordinary precautions tescirted to by the inhabitants, in consequence of this alarming state of society.— The Jus- tices of Ihe 5th district of Lanark have, we understand, sworn in 25 special constables for the town of Strathaven, anil about 70 more were lo be sworn in for the parishes of Stone- house and Gtasford. Domiciliary visits are to be immediately made in that district, to find out all who have come into it within the last three years, and those who cannot produce proper certificates of their good character, are to be sent away. The Justices have given notieeto the different lodging- houses, that they are not to give meat or drink to pedestrian strangers till they have informed the head- constable, and such as can- not give a satisfactory account of themselves are to be de- tained, and tliose who are not detained, their names and descriptions are to he entered in a book, so that, if nccessary, tbey may the more easily he traced. No vagrants, hawkers, or wallet- bearers, are to be allowed to roam through the country ; and no weaver is to be allowed a residence; unless he produce a certificate that he has cleared out at his last place, of abode. Several of the small public- houses are to be deprived of their licences. The New Testament has been translated into the Chinese language, by the Kast India Company's Translator, at Canton, and printed ; 50 copies have been brought to Kngland.— The Bible Society of Petersburgh has printed, w ithiu the two last years, 38,700 Bibles, in seven languages ; and the Committees 31,500, in fuur languages, The paper alone cost 90,000 roubles.

LET those who are afflicted in the following manner reflect on the cause that produced such havoc upon tho " whole- some appetites and powers of life — disoidered stomach, dry cough, weakness in the voice, hoarseness, shortness of breatfi upon the least exercise, and relaxation of the whole system. Those afflicted with paleness, languor of the eyes, weakness of sight or memory, should t^ ke time to consider Liunaeis'tt advice, that " youth is the important period for framing a robust constitution," and that " nothing is to be dreaded so much as premature excess." The foundation of a happy old age is a gocd constitution in youth ; temperance and moder- ation at that age are passports to happv grey hairs. The Cordial Balm of.

Copy of a Letter to Dr. SMITH, the Proprietor of the celebrated PLOUGHMAN'S Drops, from an Oificer in the Army, « ho had just quitted Shrewsbury, iu order to join his Regiment, now on a Foreign Station. DEAR SIN, HAVING been completely and effectually cured of a Venereal Complaint, ( under which! had laboured more than four Years) and being under Orders to embark for Foreign Service, I think it incumbent on me to send your the follow- ing brief Statement of my late melancholy Situation, and hope you will make it public.— It is now about eight Years since I entered into the Army, and was stationed in London nearly the whole of'that Period, where I contracted a Venereal. Infection, which I at first treated lightly, but soon found my- self reduced t<> a State that rendered it necessary for me to apply for Medical Assistance ; this I accordingly did, and w. is treated with the usual Course of Mercury, & c. and so lar PATCHED up as to be enabled to return to my Duty. In a short Time, however, the Disorder returned with increased Virul- ence, wheu I applied to a professional Gentleman of the first Respectability, under whom I lingered a very considerable Time, but was at length a second Time PATCHED up with Mercury.— I now began to feel the Effects of this pernjeiou* Mineral ; mv Glands began to swell, my Bones to ache, au intolerable Nausea at my Stomach made my Food loathsome ; low spirited aim to Melancholy during the Day, my Nights painful beyond Description ; thus I lingered on, with no other Prospect than that of finishing an inglorious and miserable Ex- istence in Loudon, when a Friend advised me to accept of an Appointment In a Corps now on Foreign Service, in the Hope that Change of Climate would effect that which it seemed- beyond the Power of Medicine to accomplish.— Before my Embarkation I obtained leave to return to this my native County, where your Drops have been so long celebrated ; mv Friends adused me to give them a Trial: a small Bottle was procured, and, in a few Days, I experienced their wonder- ful Effect, my Spirits were exhilarated, my Appetite good, my Sleep natural, my Nerves braced, my Fle> h sound ; and before I had finished the second Bottle, every Symptom of Infection disappeared.— Myself and Friends are well known j in this Neighbourhood; they will most readily confirm the Truth of this Statement; and as I shall quit this Town to » morrow in order to join my Regiment, and bhall not have an Opportunity of seeing you again, permit me to assure you that I shall always feel the greatest Gratitude for the Benefit I have received ; and that I remain vonr faithful Friend and obedient Servant, " J— h H—— n."
