On Wednefday, at noon, Carado Cayrkino, who was condemned at the Affixes held at Exeter left week, for the murder of Gabriel Campos, a fellow ptifoner, in the prifon of Plymouth, was executed on a gallows near the Spani(h prifon in Plymouth, ptirfaant to his . fentence.

In lets than half an hour, the whole of the houfe was in flames, making a rapid ptogrefs towards the warehoufe, which was filled with goods to the amount of 20,0001. }'rom the dry (late of the buildings, in which there was much wood, there houfes, and two adjoining new ones, not entirely finiiked, were completely burned down in an hour. The flames Were fo furious, that they were perceivable from all parts of the town, and fpread a general cOnfternation among the inha bitants. Every (sect was filled with fpatators to behold the awful fight, which filled the mind with dread and terror. When the &ft engines arrived, there could not be a drop of water procured but what was carried in buckets from a pump, which was in 'the rear of the building, water being very Pearce in that neighbourhood. The fire communi• rated to Mr. l'saesoa's dwelling houfe, which was the left wing . of Haberdather's flail, and caught the roof about n i n e o'clock.

An • Meer was fent on board with the Admiral's order, and a letter from Capt/ht Humphreys, laying, he hoped to be able to etecute the Admiral's order in the molt amicable manner; and after the C mmodore read the order and letter, he told him his orders from his Govern ment were moll- peremptory in not 'uffering any to• feigner to mutter his Ship's company, but that he Would write an anfwer to Captain Humphreys's let ter, if I would be the bearer of it to him ? after hay ing anfvrered in the affirmative, he wrote, laying, that he had no deferters, and that his irliruttions prevented his allowing the Chefapeik to be fearched. He returned with this anfwer, after being on board forty minutes. As the Admiral's order was pofitive, there was no alternative but lose; In we edged down to her, and Captain Humphreys hailed, and Paid, that Commodore Barron muff be aware that the order of the Britilh Commander in Chief muff be obeyed : the-only reply made to this (which was thrice repeated) was, " I do not undertland what you fay." Now as we were to windward, and heard difiinetly his ahfwers, it is evident be alto muff have beard what Captain Humphreys Paid; orders were then given to fire a OKA acrofs her bows from the lower deck ; after a minute another ; and in two more, no fatisfadory anfwer being given, Captain Humphreys ordered the fire to be opened on her, beginning with the forest:toff gun, and in fuccelßutz after ; but as the order was not perfeßly underffood, a broadfide was poured into her : Commodore Bar. eon then hailed, when enders were given to ceafit firing, but as he Paid he was only going to fend boat on board, and as they were preparing to return the fire, it was fuppofed an artifice t i gain time, and orders wereagain givenio fire ; two broadfides more were the rerun, when the 'truck.

Commodore Barron wrote to Captain Humphreys, laying, that he confidered the Cheri'. peak as his prize, and that he was ready to deliver her up to. any perfoa authorised to receive her.... Captain Itimphreys replied, that as he had etecuted the orderisof the Commander in Chief, he had no thing niOrertb do wi h her; that he mull forthwith join the eel of the fquadron, and that he not only lamented moil fincerely, the neeeffity that compelled him to violent me:attires, but that if he could render the Chefapeak any ferviee, he would chearfully do it. In thort, Captain Hutzjeneys has conduffed throughout the whole cf this unpleaftnt tranfation, in the tuna praife.Worthy manner, as an Officer and Gentleman.
