(Signed) STEPHEN COTTRELL. We are forry to announce the lots of the NAurl. LDS sloop of war, on the 4th of January, on the ifland of Cenigetto. She. was carrying difpatches from Admiral Sir T. Louts to Lord COLLINGWCOD. We regret to add, that the Captain and a crnfiderable portion of the crew were drowned. The number on board amounted to one hundred and twenty.two, of whom only fixty were faved, viz.— Mr. A. NesRITT, Lieutenant; Mr. SRI 1.1 INGWOR TR, Adillg Matter; Mr. J. BooNE, Purfer; Mr. C. DRUMMOND Gunner; Mr. A. REED, Matter's Mate; Meffrs. CURSON and Ordiet, Micifhipmen ; acd fifty-three men. Saturday we received files of the Barbadoes, An. tigua, and St. Kitt's Papers, to the end of January. Ernouf, Governor of Guadaloupe, apprehenfive of an attack from the Englifh, iffued a Proclamation on the loth, ordering the inhabitants, in cafe of invafion, to r :pair to certain polls, declaring thole trators who neglected to do ff. The French privateer, General Ernouf, of 16 guns and 130 men, has taken the Btitifh fchooner Tobago, Lieutenant SALMON, of 12 guns and 31 men, after a fevere anion of one hour and a half. Lieutenant Ser.mow sni 13 of his men were wounded, and one of his Of killed. The Spanifb fhip fent into Tortola by the Circe frigate, had on board quickfilver valued at 70,00c1. Extra& of a letter from St. Thomas in the Eaff, Jamaica, dated January 3, 1807, to a Gentleman in Glaf'ow : " We have been keeping guard, and the troops patrolling all over the country, for ten or twelve days paft, in confequence of a falfe alarm in this parifh. Some negroes had been amufing them felves with wooden guns and wooderstwords, and it got into the heads of fome people that they intended an infurredion. Intimation was givr.n to the Governor by fome perfon, more afraid than he had oc • cafion to be, and he ordered a Captain's guard of foot in every parifh, and half a troop to patrole through the fugar eftates. I would not have taken notice of this, but I know how things are magnified at home." CRIM. CON.—Oti Thurfday fe'nnight, an anion was tried at Dundalk Affixes, before Judge Fox and a fpecial Jury, in which JOHN HENRY ' of Richardf. town, Efq. was plaintiff, and the Rev. Mr. MURPHY, Vicar of Stabannon, defendant.—A young gentle man who was a tutor in the family proved the fad of a criminal connexion in a manner totally unfit to meet the public eye.—The Jury brought in a verdict for the plaintiff 4.0001. damages and 6d. coils, to the entire fatisfadion of the Court and Country. At the above affixes games Mannin was inclined for a rape upon Anne Dooley, the wife of James Dooley. He was acquitted, in confequence of circumflances favourable to hims and againft the profecutors. The woman is a ffrong, healthy looking perfun, and Man nin is a weak young boy ! A (hoemaker was fined fall week at Stamford, five fhillingc, for being drunk in view of the Magiilrates. Poor Crifpin allowed he was a wet file, but declared, if V ey would pardon that offence, it fhould be his lel . HYDE PARK.—This place of fafhionable refort was not fo crowded, yellerday, as on the preceding Sun day, fo many families of dillindion having left town for the holidays; and the coldnefs of the day pre vented the holiday-folk from difplaying their gay attire. The few Ladies who did appear, were wrapped in their velvet peliffes, with the addition of muffs and tippets, bearing more the femblance of December, than the approach of April, the harbin ger of Spring. In the ride were her Royal Hig 4 r. nets Princefs CHARLOTTE of WALE s, in her haroirche and four, attended by the Dowager Lady De CLIF FORD; his Royal Higltnefs the Duke of CubtIIERLANn, on horfeback ; the Duchefs of SAINT ALBA:es, in her vis.a vis ; the Earls of Cowpta, Eusrow, and WESTMOF.ELAND, were on horfeback. Amongst the four-in hand were Sir JOHN LADE, Mr. Buvroa, and Mr. Cox. As the latter Gentleman had cleared the Park Gate, his barouclie came in contact with a hack ney coach, when both carriages were upfet, but nei ther the company or the driver were injured; Sir JOHN LADE came up at the moment, and rendered all the affiftance in his power. There was a complete flop put to all movements for fome time, from the number of perfons who affembled. Mr. Cox's car riage was no; much injured by the accident. It is much to be doubted if ar.y future fcheme will ever equal in interefl that of the prefent State Lottery. A fufficient proof is its very fuperior number of great prizes, fince the capitals are almoft the foie objects of ennfide.ration with the various degrees of adventurers. No wonder then that four capital prizes of zo,ccol. f.,ur of co,oool. four of 5,0001. to fay nothing of ten of wool. and twenty of ;col. fhould now, prove fo rwerful and univerfal a magnet. The near approach of the drawing of this momentous Icherne confidera bly adds to the force of its attraction. MUT!Nr 47 YELLORE. Although no detailed accounts have yet been re• ceived, or at leaft made public, of the circumftances which led to the melancholy catallrophe at Vellore, fome part of the correfpondence which paired between Gercral Craddock, the Madras Government, and the principal officers of the General Staff in that eflablifh- ment refpeßing the fuppofed origin of the mutiny, has tranfpired. From this it appears, that foon after the arrival of General Craddock, at Madras, three fepoys of a bat• talion commanoed by Major Bole, arrived at the Prefidency from Arcot—wea. ing turbans, which had been made up under the diretlion of that officer, and which, in his opinion, were cheaper, more military, and convenient than the turbans then worn through nut the army. Thefe men were . infpetled by General Craddock, and their turbans approved of, and, in confequence, turbans of this defcription were prepared for all the native infantry in the foulice. It appears, alto, that a general fpirit of averfion against the new turban was manifefled by different corps of the army. At Vellore, the fecond battalion of the 4th regiment ohje.ted to the innovation at an early period—:- - and as they betrayed their feelings in a manner contrary to military difcipline, the ringleaders were brought to trial, two of the principals punifhed, and the others pardoned. In Seringapatam, which contained a nu merous gartifon cf native troops, great diffatisfa4tion prevailed ; and, as General Craddock Rates, it was the clmmon cry, " that the next attempt would be to make the Sepoys Chrillians." The Commander in Chief, in confer-pence of the general repugnance again(t this regulation, felt him fell placed in a fituation of peculiar difficulty, be tween his with not to wound the prejudices of the Sepoys and his defire to maintain military difcipline. " He was aware that force and punifhment might overcome individual oppofition, but that the general diflike to the meafure would not abate, and that the frequent occurrence of feverity might produce bad confequences." He therefore addreffed a letter to the Governor in Council, requefiing the advice of Government refpeeing the meafures to be purfued. On the 7th of July laft he received an anfwer from the Madras Government, in which it was acknow ledged "that from the difficulty which had occurred in carrying into effect the late alteration in the drefs of the Native Corps, the Government were led to think that it might have been deferable to have avoided the adoption of it ;" but concurring in opinion with refpeet to the injury that might wife from receding an Al which had received the confirmation of public authority, and, at the fame time, wishing to tran quillize the minds of the Native Troops, they re• commend to the General that an order Ihould be immediately iffued, under the authority of Govern ment, conveying " a general affurance of there being no intention to introduce any change incompatible with the laws or ufages of the natives." This expe dient, however, does not appear to have been reforted to ; but General Craddock, in one of his letters to Lord W. Bentinck, acknowledges " that the order was calculated to preferve jug authority, and to do away any prejudices that might exift upon the im puted difregard to the right attached to Call or an cient cuflorn." On the r6t h of July, previous to which the mutiny occurred at Vellore, General Craddock, who had ar rived there, wrote to Colonel Agnew, the Adjutant- General, Dating, " that perfons who have an intereft on the occafion declare, that a very general diffatif faeion prevailed in the army at the peri.)d of the dreadful occurrence at Vellore, on account of the adoption of the turban, but more efpecially the late order, that prohibited all marks in the face to denote calls, or fees, and the injunaion to cut the feveral mauftaches to a common pattern." The General alfo appears to have entertained " the greateft inquietude, that it was in the power of poffibility that infringement of the Sepoys rights and prejudices, dear to them as life ! Ihould originate with him, who as much as any man inlnclia relpefted their immemorial ufages." The General then calls upon Colonel Agnew and his De puty, Major Pearfe, to give every explanation on that particular point—whether any innovation had been introduced? or whether it was a cnrainuance of the long practice of the army? The General Dated, that is fuch it had been reprefented to him by thefe Of ficers, when the orders about to be publifhed were read in their prefence, and in the prefence of Colonel Orr, the Q!arter-Mafter General—the Commander in Chief then obferves, that he had perufed there orders in communication with the Officers lalt men tioned, that he might derive information from the great experience which they pofTeffed on local points; that he had particularly adverted to the order in queflion, and was aff ! rred by thefe Officers that it was the eltablifhed military cultom. A letter was all.) written to Major Pearfe,-in fub- Dance the fame, from whole anfwer it appears, that on the infpeeion of the books of native corps, it was deemed neceffary to ettablifh a code of (landing or ders for all the regiments of native infantry, and that Major Pearfe, by the define of General Craddock, undertook to prepa:e it, and that it was accordingly publifhed on the 13th of March, tBo6. The com pilation was principally founded upon ltanding orders ellabliffied by the late General Braithwaite, when Colonel of a regiment of European infantry, for that corps," a; ith the requifite deviations to render it ap plicable to native troops—and in reference to Come of the moll approved regulations formerly in force in native battalions." Wt en this compilation was read, Pearfe acknowledges that the loth paragraph of the t nth feetion attraeled General Craddock's no• tice, who inquired, " whether it would interfere with the prejudices of the natives ?" That the Major anfwered, under the fame impreffinn that had in duced him to infer[ it (as did the Adjutant General to the fame effect) that it wouldnot, and that it was not the custom in well regulated corps for native foldiers to appear in the manner forbid by that paragraphs." ni.:jor Pearfe then Oates, that during his military fervice as the public Staff Officer of a nation (corn manded by an officer who enforced difcipline, but attended to the prejudices of the foldiers), and as a Brigade Major at Vellore, he considered it to be his duty, when infpeeling Native Sepoys, to tut n them off • Par. to, feet. t It is ordered by the Regulations, that a Native Fal.:icr than not mark his faze, or denote his C.dt, or wear car-rings when drrffcd i.l h.+ uniforms: and it is furthet directed, that at ad parades and upon .1 duties every foldier of the battalion (hall be clean glared on the chin. I: is directed “Ifo. t h unifor mity mall, fo r far as it is pc be p-cferved, regard to the quaatity and tisane of the hair upon the upper 16).” the parade if they appeared with Marks on :heir faces, or with rings in 'felr ears, in the fame manner as he lkould have rcj .:1:d them if they had been dirty in their ,'refs, or defective in their arms or appointments. Major Pearfe denies that the - recent melancholy event at Vellia-e was fairly imputable rr the orders in 'queflion, but obfcrves, "' th'at it night be traced to that i:nptacable hoftile fpir it againfi Etitripean domi nion, that could transfirm a foid;.,'J turn firezu into the iloy croft; .that could excite the ai .ifiCers at Wallajabad to refute to work, after the arris al of the news that Tippoo's fops were in p-ff: (lion of the fort at Vellore ; and that could nccafi 'n the (licking up of placards in the mi , lques about Madras, and calling upon the peo-ple to rally in defence of the true faith; a fpirit which, from report, a pears to have been very generally diffafed, and to have been particularly in- Rifled into the minds of the Native Troops at Vellore." In the anfwer of CoL•nel Agnew, it is Rated, that when the paragraph of the (landing orders refpeEling the Mark of Cafl:, was read by Major Pearle to the Commander in Chief, he (C.,lnnel Agnew) confider ed it as the mere recital of what had long been prac tifed in well.l egolated corps. under the received cuf tom.Of the fervice, although, like many other cuftoma, not effiecially dire" ed by airy formal order, it was not always rigidly enforced. That this opinion had been by him expreffed to the Commander in Chief, when his excellency Rated any date to touch in any Drape on the culoms 111,1RKLAN E. CORN EXCHANGE, MARCH 30.

MAIDSTOVE, MARCH 26.--janses Wain, a foldier in the artillery at Woolwich, was tried for a violent affault, with intent to commit a rape, on a young lady, the daughter of a refpdtable gentleman at Charlton. This was a molt atrocious ewe. As the young lady was paffing, on the 4th of January, from Woolwich, through H.lnging Wood, the was atacked by the prifoner, who drew a knife and threatened to murder her, if (he made any noife. she, however, aruggled, took the knife from :he ruffian, and con trived to make her efcape. He was !Oon after taken up. He was found guilty, and fentenced to two years imprifonment. William Warwick and John Coghill, the matter and mate of a velfel, the Apollo, lying at lle . .tford, were found guilty of ftealing a puncheon of brandy, which they found floating on the river , the property ot hi s Majelly, and which they emptied into bottles. At half paft eleven, Mr. JuaiCe HEATH pr, n )unced fentence on the prifoners. Twelve received sentence of Drat?", of whom r; ndreeu Schejlock, for murder ; Benjamin Flummer, John Spittle, Char,'er Silket, and John Savage, for the burglary at Wrotham ; and John Dowley, to uttering a forged feaman's Power of Attorney, were left for execution ; the others were reprieved. SATURDAY, MARCH 28.—This morning, at twelve o'clock, 4ndrew achfflock, a private in the German Le gion, was executed on Penniogdon Heath, for the mur der of Thomafin Ward, in the Ifle of Thanet. The prifoner profeffed the Catholic Refigion, and was at tended to the fcaffold by a Roman Catholic Melt. His appearance was much altered (ince the day of his trial : he then appeared a (tout, athletic, and vi gorous young man ; but when at the place of execu tion, his whole frame feemed broken and enfeebled. He prayed with great fervour; but, Orange to fay, he petrified to the lei in denying his guilt, and af letting the fame improbable tale which he told on his apprehenfion, namely, that he faw another man knock the woman down, who gave him her hand kerchiefs; he faid he was a Hungarian by birth, and that he had ferved in the Auflrian army ; but being taken prifoner by the French, he next ferved them. He was in the army under Mortier, in Hanover, from which he deferred, and entered into the Bvitilh Legion. After he was turned off, he gave one con vulibve flruggle cnly, and feemed immediately to expire. FIRE IN THE KING'S BENCH.—About half pall nine o'clock on Saturday evening, the apartment of Cap tain TOWERS was difcoveted to be in flames, by Mr. Toraxass, .his oppofite neighbour, by whofe exertion that wing of the prifon called the Brace was lav e d. This is the only part of the prifon that is vulnerable. DUEL—On the 19th inftant a meeting took place at Ttflatwre, between Lieutenant Bismaß x and Ca:. tain OuiNHAM, both of the 4th battalion of the King's German Legion.
