We have just seen an Officer who left Gibraltar on the 16th ultimo. He said, that the day before his departure they had been amused by the appearance of a French column, 8000 infantry and 1800 cavalry, supposed under VICTOR. BALLESTEROS, with half that number, and about 8000 of the inhabitants, came under the guns of the garrison. An Adjutant. General was sent from BALLESTEROS to Gen. CAMP BELL, to ask if the Hammer position was to his liking: —This Hammer position extended from the inunda. tion to the eastern beach of the Isthmus ; in rear of this were the natives of St. Roque and its vicinity, BALLESTEROB'S cavalry in front, and Starvation the order of the day. Bread and salt were sent from the garrison ; the Generals wonderfully busy with spy. glasses, and all the artillery at their posts ; the gates fast locked, as if the French were to attack these poor wretches, they would naturally attempt to force into IGibraltar. The French line extended from the Queen of Spain's Chain, along the ridge of hills, thtrugh St. Roque, to what is called the First River, with vet y strong pickets thrown forward towards the Orange Grove. They had not entered Algezira,, I and Tarifa was reinforced on the 15th, with two re giments of British, the 47th and 87th, which, with 100 British of the Garrison, the 11th and s2d, and 2000 Spaniards from Cadiz, if Ballasteros goes their, ought to be able to defend the place. It is hoped at t Gibraltar they will get rid of the French. The Lord Wellington cartel received on Friday, at i Portsmouth, seventy invalid French prisoners, for Morlaix, who have been gratuitously released.

Ter E /%I.IIV Custom- House.—An order has been re ceived by the Commissioners of the Customs from the Treasury, to commence the New Custom-House with the least possible delay. The Commissioners have required of all the heads of offices in that im portant department, a statement in writing of every particular relative to their different offices, principally with a view to ascertain what space each office will require, so that hereafter no complaint may be made of a want of su ffi cient room. The plan of the build ing itself is at present under consideration. The in tended :cite is ground between the west end of the present Custom-House and Billingsgate, which latter place there is some ides of AVllloving to the opposite gore. • __ • thi s igeialer season. ' 115.4 ''''PRIGHION, NeWEMB.ER 3. The weather was so boisterous, on Friday and Satur day, that the PRINCE RWENT and his party were hardly able to stir out, so his Royal Highness took exercise on horseback in his riding-house. His Royal High. tress had a small party and a concert, both on Fri day and Saturday. He intended to have gone to Po,t,t - nouth to have reviewed the Irish mili tia regiments now there, and in that neighbourhood —but yesterday he signified to the Earl of EGREMONT, that he found it impossible to go over, as he must be at Windsor on Thursday—and it is expected, there. fore, that he will quit Brighton on Tuesday or Wed nesday. The Flushing fleet of observation still remain in the Downs, also a very large , fleet of merchantmen, wind-bound. In tLe course of Friday and Saturday, about forty sail of vessels from the Downs took shelter in Rams- Fate harbour, from the strong South-west gales; a few of which have received trifling damages. There k now in that harbour about 200 sail of all descrip tions. The EURY'DICEp Captain BRARSHAW ; and Seahorse transport, arrived at Portsmouth, on Thursday, from Halifax. They sailed together on the 13th ult. but parted company two days afterward. All the squa dron on that station had sustained some losses by tem pestuous weather ; and were all lying at Halifax, in consequence, except theMELAstros and INDIAN. These ships bring no news whatever. As little was known at Halifax of what course the American disputes were likely to take, as in England. Admiral SAWYER was well at Halifax. The /EuLus, frigate, Lord JAMES TOWNSIIEND, wotild winter there. The other ships of the squadron would resume their stations when refitted. M. BUNKE, Master Builder at Bermuda, came passen ger in the Seahorse. Extract of a letter from Petersburg, dated Septem ber 22-4th October Romanzoff's influence has unfortunately increased from the events which have taken place this last year. He has always maintained I that Bonaparte has no h , stile views towards this country, and now recommends great exertions against the Turks, even to the sending all our forces against them. Strong measures are expected against colonial I produce and British manufactures, for the same per eon has effectually convinced the Emperor that your GoVerinnent will continue to grant, licences though they are excluded;—The transports sent to Revel have produced a most unfortunate effect. and have been the subject of much.conversation. The under t.king a measure of such evident notoriety, is equally the subject of wonder and derision." The guns and principal stores have been saved out ! of the FoNfoNE frigate. .3he had 5.5,000 dollars on buatd, which were also preserved, except about 4000, that were taken out of a chest by some of the crew, who also stove in the spirit casks, soon after the ship stiuck,and drank theniselvesintoa stateof intoxication In consequence of the late order, directing a num: ber of Quartermen to be employed as measurers of all wor k done in Portsmouth and Plymouth Dock yards, eight additional clerks have been entered for the purpnse of expediting the business of the measur- I ing department. The remarkably fast-sailing privateer, Admiral Martin, captured by the For :NEE and SatnaNua, -arrived at Portsmouth on Thursday, from Cork. It appears by her log that she has been sailing 144 knots an hour. She is built for sailing large, but is not adapted for carrying a heavy press of sail on a wind. `The men on board her, on her passage to Portsmouth, lhougheit not safe to bring her to, when the other ships in company did do so, and therefore were com pelled to scud her. The accident that happened to the Tigris, bound ! to St. Helena, which ran cn shore on the Goodwin-1 Sands, and was so much damaged as to be obliged to • return in order to refit, is considered as peculiarly un- ! fortunate at this juncture, as the stores at that island are almost exhausted, and the inhabitants likely to be 'reduced in consequence to a dreadful state of priva tion. Every exertion therefore is making to remedy the misfortune, by fitting out another store-ship, which will sail under protection of the AIRICAINE fri sate, now under orders for China. Atur d night, about 12 o'clock, the body of a man, much disfigured', was picked up in Ramsgate harbour, supposed to be one of the marines who were upset in a boat going from Deal Reach to one of the ships of was its the Dowas some days ago. ," - jr 1 • OLD DiaEr. . Saturday W. Maki:Add wits indicted for Arid,* and uttering three counterfeit Rink notes. In Sep tember last, the prisoner was lying in Newgate, under a sentence of twoyears imprisonnizot from the Cia - t of King's Bench, hie aiding the esc iPe ot the French General Austen. At that time one B irry WAS con fined in Coldbath Fields prison, for uttering cant tee.' felt dollars. Understanding it to be the intentiun ot. the Bank to prosecute him also for uttering forged Bank notes, he gave ilformatlon'that he could en hle them to detect one of the principal deafen in this way. In consequence of which, Mr. Weevaolotl. Clerk to the Solicitors for the B ink. was dispatched' to Coldbath.fields, where, after having Barrybeasched to see eaat he had no notes in this possession, he gave him eight tel notes, which he had previously en...skeet with a small w under the word One. Becket, one of the tut nkeys of Coldbath-fields prison, also pot his mark upon them, before they were given to Barry. Mr. Westwood then took B wry, Becket, and a Kr. son named *Coke, in a coach to Newgate. When they get there, Barry went to the place where Hab berfield lay, on the State-side, and without saying a word gave him six of the marked notes. Habberfield returned him three of them, and three counterfeit dr2 notes, saying, that he bad no more at th it time, but • in a week or ten days he should have a Fedi supply. Barry now returned, and meeting Becket in the pri son, gave him the notes he had received from H tb berfield, as well as the remainder of those which Mr. .Westwood had given him. Becket now, with Brown. one of the City officcts. and one of the turnkeys of Newgate, repaired to Habbet field, and asked him if he had got any property about him ? He said he had ; and pulled out a handful of gold, and out of his bed he pulled a stocking, filled nearly with. Bank- notes. Out of his waiste.iat pocket too, he produced • froth t'2o to ,g3O in notes ; and from his other pockets he produced, with some hesitation. some notes, among which Becket found the three which had been paid to him by ' Becket immediately proceeded to take the numbers of them anew in the prisoner's pre sence, when be made a snatch at the notes, part of Which he tore off, and part remained in Beckees h:.nd. The prisoner instantly ran to the fire, and Bushed the fragments under the 'rivit, but Becket snatched them out before they were entirely consumed. and enough remained of the notes to enable Mr. Westwood and Becket to discover their marks fits them. Guilty—Death. P. Whitehead was indicted for forging, or utter ' its the acceptance of T. Gullan, a stable-keeper, in King-street, Westminster, to a bill of exchange, for see 10s. drawn by the prisoner on Mr. GM' :it, and 1 made payable at the banking-house of Messrs. Ran som and Cb. The prisoner had applied to Mr. Rn .barts, the banker, and by recalling to the recol:ection of that Gentleman, that he was known to him, as being in the. employment of the Bank of England. whereas, in fact, he had left that s:tuation six months, induced him to discount the bill. Ou presenting it when due, however, at the house of Ransom and Co. it was discovered that Gullan's subscription wts a forgery. This was proved on the trial by Mr. Gal lan's brother, and the Jury immediately found the prisoner Guilty—Death. E. Pouliot, a genteel youth, was indicted for forging and uttering a checque for £2.), with intent to de fraud. The checque had b.cn paid to a publican in Guildford-street, and was detected alter being paid at the house of Prescott and Co. The principal w't ness, R. Roberts, did not appear, and the prisoner was consequently—Acquitted. Nine were convicted of felony, viz.—W. S. Hen ningham, for having its his possession certain treged bank notes ; J. Row and J. Jones, for stealing .t LIU Bank-note ; E. Levy and T. Murphy, for stealing a watch ; J. Bag,nell, aPat Baglin,for stealing :Whs. of horse-hair ; Hannah NAstrop, for stealing five ski... of leather; C. Reynolds, for stealing llb. of cantha rides ; J. Evans, for stealing a handkerchief ; and Eliza Atkinson was acquitted of a chargesof obtaining money under false pretences. At the Sessions in Dublin, on Tuesday last, James Byrne was indicted on two several counts—for having published a libel, accusing the Right Rev. and Hon. Dr. Jocelyn, Bishop of Ferns, of an attempt to com mit an abominable offence ; and for having juiced in a conspiracy to make that false accusation. The pri soner, Byrne, had .lived about eilitteen months as coachman with the Hon. John Jocelyn, brother to the Bishop, at Fair-hill, but having lett him withlitt notice, was refused his discharge ; and it appeJA most clearly, th:tt the whole of this horrid imputat on WAS a plan to extort a discharge, such as the prisoner wished, from Mr. Jocelyn, by endeavouring to make h m believe, that the fame of his venerable brother was inthe prisoner's power. The Bishop of Ferns attended in Court and was :•xamined. The prisoner v. as tuur.d Guilty, and s4;enced to two years imprisonment—to be thrice publicly whipped, and, before his discharge, to find security himself in £5OO, and two sureties in £lOO each. • Tuesday a Cour..martial was held on John Fogerty, a private marine, of the Barbadoes, for basing stru.:e the Master-at-Arms and BoAtswain's-inati , , when at tempting to secure him s( r taking a jacket,' belonging to John M'Kay ; and for kicking we Gunner, and conducting himself in a rhutinoui manner towards Lieut. W. Savage, of that ship. The charge having been proved against the prisoner, he was sentenced to suffer Death: but as it appeared he had saved the lives of many persons by jumping into the sea alter them, whenever overboard, the Court recommended him to the. merciful consideration of the Lords COM. n issioners of the Admiralty.—Rear-Admiral HAM coon, President.
