J MONTE PIDEO. ................. The armament deflined for the South Seas, un• der the command of Sir Sass o it. - Anon our arrived in the mouth of the great river La Plata, on the sth day of January laft, after a voyage of nearly three months, very favonrable upon the whole, having run sr,ooo miles by. the log, although the computed dif tante is confiderably lefs. The convoy made Rio Janeiro in their paCage, where they remained eight days : to the great refrefhment and advantage of the troops, and where the Viceroy of Brazil (hewed the whole of the Britifh force the molt ditUnguifbed favour, kindnefs, and attention. On the arrival of the armament at Maldonado, they found there the 3oth and 47th regiments of in fantry, and Come dragoons of the 20th and 2111 regi ments, waking the arrival of reinforcements from England, with extreme eagernefs and anxiety. The place itfelf was almoft entirely abandoned, the in habitants having retired up the country, and having driven it completely, there were little or no frefh provifions to be obtained : But which circumnance induced the more immediate neceffity of proceeding to the attack of Monte Video, a pat} of confiderable Itrength, where immenfe preparations had been mak ing ever since the fan appearance of a Britifh force in that part of the world, whence the mot} vigorous refinance was expeaed ; and at about ninety miles dinance. Here it was that Colonel BRowne, of the 4oth infantry, a tried and experienced officer of the higheff reputation, was appointed a Brigadier Gene ral, and put in command of the 38th, 4oth, and 87th regiments, in all about 2300 men, as fine a brigade as ever faced an enemy. The other, new formed alfo, was commanded by that excellent officer Briga. dier General Lusii.sy, and was compofed of the cavalry of the army, Come flank companies, the 47th regiment, and the detachment of the rifle corps. At anchor before Maldonado were an incredible number of Englilh merchantmen, who were, with the adven tures and fortunes of thoufands, anxioufly waiting the event of the approaching conteft. On the morning of the :6th of January, the whole army landed about five miles from the town of Monte Video, in a (mall bay, in the pretence of a very fine and impofing body r f cavalry, without experiencing any oppofition from the enemy. In this fituation k re mained for three days, receiving guns and provifions from the fleet. On the 19th, the troops advanced to inveff the town, which was found ftrongly forti fied, and with a citadel of powerful flrength of ma fonry, as indeed were all the works furrounding it. —On the march, the Spanifh artillery continually played upon the advancing Britifh line, covered by their cavalry, who jorlicioufly retreated upon every tirong pofition the line of country afforded ; and were not only produaive of great annoyance to the advancing army, but were extremely difficult to dif lodge. The lofs, however, was not confider able, as the Britiffi troops were not expofed to mufquetry, cannon (hot alone being filed. On the fame day, the befieging army took up its ground ; and on the very next morning the enemy had the audacity to fatly from their works, in a body not lefs than 4000, and attacked, with much apparent refolution, the piqirets in front of the 2d brigade, commanded by Brigadier General Browne. 1 he enemy was, howe• vet, driven in with great flaughter, but not without lots to the 4oth Regiment. who bore the brunt of the whole, it having three officers and 52 men killed and wounded, betides nearly as many in the other corps of the brigade. From this date to the 3d of February, the place was clofely invelled; feveral batteries ereeted, whic h fired night and day on the town and citadel ; and the enemy's walls were confiderably injured, but no Thew of forrender on their part. Intelligence was alto gained, that could be depended upon, that Lames, the Governor of Buenos Ayrer, was ad vancing with about 4000 men to the relief of the garrifon. Under thefe circumaances, there was no alternative left, but either to abandon the liege, and regain the flips, and thereby bring difgrace upon the Britills name, or to give the affault. This ferious and dreadful dilemma was quickly re- Piked by the magnanimity and refolution of the Bri tilli Commander ; and ferious and dreadful may it well be called, when it is recolleiffed that the enemy's walls and citadel were of folid mafonry, ftrongly and thickly planted with artillery, with a breach fo mi me and ill defined as to be fcarcely viable, and thie whole defended with a degree of ferocity, a determ nation of refinance, almoll bordering on phrenzy, and at the fame time governed by a difcipline of the mon perfeEt and determined nature. The command of the affault was given to Brigadier General BROWNE. On the morning of the 3d of February, the troops advanced to the (form ; confift ing of the light battalion of five companies, under Lieutenant Colonel Bitowsi RIGG ; four companies of grenadiers under Major CAMPBELL of the 4oth; the 33th regiment, under Lieutenant Colonel VAS ;ALL, and the 4oth, under Major DALRYMPLE. They pufhed inward with unloaded pieces,under the molt deftruc tin fin from the citadel, which took them in flank ; sad from feveral heavy batteries of the town works inftont; the whole being ffrialy ordered to be decided it the bayonet. It was at this moment that the forlorn hope, corn. minded by Lieutenant MATTHEW EVSRARD of the 2! or (Zieeit's regiment, advanced direly to the :Teti). This gallant young officer had volunteered .!!is arduous duty, and was allowed, from about too , fliii toontrymen (natives of Ireland) to fele& 30. Will! this little band of heroes, he made his ground good, and gained the defences of Monte Video. As he entered the breach, his lots from the mulketry of the enemy was fevere— not lefs than is of his brave companions dropping around him before he got into the town. With the fcanty refidue of his men he however fricceeded in di icing the enemy from the fit (t end fecond batteries on the right of the breach ; and was enabled to proceed, by this almolt unparalleled infante of gallantry and refolution, to the north gate of the town, which he opened for the Britifb farce advancing in that direaion, driving the enemy from the intermediate batteries in his way. During the whole of this defperate atchievemenr, Lieutenant E,LILARD was totally iinfripported by ihe troops de (lined for the affault. The light battalion, who were thirty yards in his rear, but who unfortunately miffed the breach, did not enter it and join him till his fuc eefs had been complete. From this (mall body of 3 0 s Lieutenant Ev FR 4WD'S loft in killed and wound ed was it !—he hintreg being the firil man who en tered the town. During the advance of the Britith force, the moll tremendous dire o grape, round Ihot, and (mall arms, was kept up; but the breach once afcertained and gained, the (forming party, branching off to the right and left, took every battery in their way at the point of the bayonet, the enemy defending their guns to the laft ; many of which, run over by the impetnofity of the Britith troops, were turned inward upon them in their advance. Some little time after day-light the whole was atchieved, and the conqueft completed. An event which aftonifhes and confounds thole who were its witneffes, and the participators of its glory. It is, and ever will be confidered, a military wonder ! On the following day, the Governor and the Mu nicipality furrendered to Brigadier-General BROWV s / and on the latter fending an Officer with a flag to the citadel, the enemy hoilled the white flag, and fub mined the whole to the difcretion of the conquerors. Brigadier General &own', who commanded the *Gull, and who fo much diffingniffied hinifelf, is a native of Dublin, and is the brother of Capt. ROBERT BROWNS, Deputy Teller of the Exchequer ; and of Captain T. BROWNE, of the Royal Navy. Lieutenant EVERARD t whofe gallantry and good conduit upon this occafion has been noticed by his Royal Highnefs the Duke of You, and who is im mediately to be appointed to a company, the juR meed of his gallantry, is a younger fon of a very an• tient and honourable family of Randalaown, in Ireland. The Meeting which took place yeflerday, at the London Tavern, of the Friends of Mr. Alderman HANKEY, mutt be peculiarly gratifying to that Gen. tleman's feelings. It was the largeft meeting of the fort we have witneffed for many years part, on fimilar occafions. Among the company prefent, we faw a great number of the principal merchants and bankers of this city, and a very numerous afTemblage of highly refpt&able liverymen. The refolutions were moved by Sir FRANCIS BARING, and feconded by Mr. Gsoace CLARK, late Alderman of Bafifhaw Ward, and paired unanimoufly, in which a muff arenuous difpofition is manifefled to recommend Mr. Alderman HANKEY, from their long knowledge of his commercial purfuits and charader, as a proper perfon to be eleeted as one of the Reprefentatives of this great and opulent City. A numerous Meeting of the Freemen of the Town and Port of Dover was held on Tuefday night, at the Crofs Keys, Wood-{trees, Cheapfide, when feveral Refolotions were uaanimoufly agreed upon, in fup port of Mr. JACKSON and Mr. JEN KINSON, as proper perfons to reprefent that Town again in Parliament. —Mr. Low, who convened the Meeting, propofed the Hon. HENRY PIERREPOINT, as a proper perfon to be their Reprefentr iv: ; but this Motion was ne- gatived by the whole of the Meeting, with the excep tion of the Mover and S:cnnder. A very nurrerous Meeting of the Freemen of Tor. wich, in the interett of the rumen, was held at the White Lion in Ipfwich, on Tuefday laft, when their prefent Member, Riot. WILSON. Efq. and Captain BLNNETT, of the Navy, were propofed to reptefent them in the enfuing Parliament, and received with the greatell acclamations. Mr. WILSON canvaffed the town on Wednefday, and met with the fame limas as in November lA. The fenfelefs outcry of danger to our excellent Church Ellablithment has no effeft upon the fentiments of refpeEt they entertain for their Reprefentative, whore condtat they fully approve ; and they expreffed, by their promifes of fupport, a full confidence Captain BENNETT wuuld compenfate for the lots of the Lion. Captain Srop FORD, whofe abfence they lament. On Tuefday night, after the Opera, Lady earns- REAGH entertained a numerous party to (upper. The Englifh militia regiments at prefent in Scot- land, viz. the zd Welt York, EalL Suffolk, and Weßmoreland, are ordered to England. They are to be replaced by the Scots militia regiments now in England. Lag week, by order of the Board of Admiralty, fifty boys were apprenticed to the various branches in Chatham dock yard. Letters were received at Prince of Wales's If3and, from Malacca, the latter end of June, which gave an account of a vacl having arrived there, from Bata• via, bringing intelligence that Admiral HARTSINCR, with four fail of the line and a frigate, was lying in the Roads, and that a 74 belonging to the fquadron had been wrecked near Bantame, crew fared. _ Alfo, that a violent diftemper was raging at Cheri. bon, which had fwept off feveral thonfAnds of the inhabitants. A letter has been received from St. Kilda, dated the 25th of !aft month. This is the Skit inftance of a boat's crew venturing to eras the ocean which Se parates St. Kilda from the other Weflern Ifles, prior to the month of June. The beat was manned by St. Kildans, and the letter forwarded by poll from Dun vegan, a few days after the arrival of the boat at the Ifle of Sky. Toefday, as Mr. Harris, a merchant. refiding in Lambeth•road, was driving his tandem along Great Charlotte itreet, Blacktriar. road, the fore horfe took fright, and ran over Tome furniture at the door of a broker's fhop, in confequence of which the vehicle was &flied to pieces. The driver efcaped with a flight contufion on the left temple; one of the bodes was lamed. The following accident happened yeflerday, about twelve o'clock, in Fleet-Ilreet, nearly oppofite Fetter. lane: the axle tree of Mr. &mem BODDINGTON'S chariot broke, and one of the fore wheels came off; in confeqtrence the coachman was thrown with vio lence from the box, and narrowly efcaped being milted to death by another carriage palling at the time ; as it v. as, he efcaped with little injury. The bodes let off at full gallop down Fleet-llreet, over throwing every thing in their way; the carriage, however, being cut down on one fide, was not over turned, to which circumftance may be attributed the fortunate efcape of Mr. BODDINGTON and a friend, who were in the chariot at the time. The horfes, during their courfe, kept a ffraight line clofe to the kirb on the limb fide of Fleet•Qreet ; their career, at I length, was checked, oppofite Mr. Abbot's Shop, by a . gentleman's carriage, which received confiderable r injury, the pole of Mr. BoDursorou's chariot pen. tracing it behind.

The Debtors confined in Liverpool Gaol have prefented a Petition to the Houfe of Commons, praying relief from the circumftances cf dialers under which they labour. The number of Debtors there is 66, and among them are to perfons, whore united ages amount to 586 years.—A fimilar petition has been lately prefented in the Houfe of Lordr, from the Debtors of Lancafter Caine, the number of of whom is s t 1, out of which there are t 6 perfont, whore united ages amount to 1024 years, an average of 64 years. They alfn have applied to the Duke of GLOUCESTER, who has molt gracioufly fignified his intention of fupporting the Bill intended to be brought .into Parliament by the Earl of MOIRA for that purpore: A heifer, about three years old, the property of Mr. HOLICING3, of Higher Leigham, in the parifh of Egg Buckland, calved a calf the 29th day of March laft, and on Thurfday, the 9th day of this inftant, (April) fhe calved anather ; they are both exaelly alike in colour, and fpotted equally alike—and what is extraordinary, the heifer would not let the fira calf fuck but two of the teats on one fide, nor yet fuffer any perfon to milk the other teats, till the had the other calf, which was 12 days after, when the milk came regularly in the other teats. They are two very fine calves, and are now turned to hand, and very likely to do well and make a pair of good oxen. A writer of celebrity in the commercial world re. marks 44 that the fpirit of enterprize eflentially con. lifts in making a grand puth at a critical moment." In the world of adventure, this obfervation moa powerfully applies at this ;faint. Next Saturday's drawing of the Lottery is fully in proof. A so,onte, Prize to the Firft Number, while all the pr liter floating Capitals are Rill in the Wheel, is a ails as unprecedented in the Lottery Annals, as it merits a bold pods from the votaries of fpiritul enterprise.
