Dement Lake was frozen over for a few days of the late feverc weather. A Lady and a Gen tleman, from the KefWick fide, proceeded a confi derable way, in a gig, on a vifit to Vicar's Ifland ; but, owing probably to the fears of the former, they returned without reaching it. The centre arch of Oufebridge, on the road from Cockermouth to Kefwick, (by way a Armath- Waite, Mirchoufe, &c.), fell down on Tuefday fc'n night ; occafioned, it is fuppofed, by the fudden thaw fucceeding Co intenfe a frog. Providentially, no perfon was upon it at the time. We hear that another of the arches has fallen fince. Smuggling has been carried on to fo great an extent fence the figning of the Preliminaries of Peace, as to engage the ferions attention of Go vernment. A fquadron, confilling of five frigates and a (loop of war, has been ordered to fail im mediately from Plymouth, to put a flop to the contraband traffic, by which the revenue of she country would be very materially affeCted. Thefe 'ails are to cruize between the Start Point and Mount's Bay. We yetterday received New York Papers up to the 24th of December ' but their contents, like thole which we have for Come time pall received, were barren of artiel:s which could intereft our Readers. The proceedings of Congrefs have been con neded almoft wholly with points of domeftic ar rangement, and among thefe it does not appear that the fpeech of the Prefident has hitherto oc cupied any part of their attention. Of the dif cuffions which have taken place, the nx)Il ani mated was one about the expediency of removing what are called the diferiminating duties : afte r much difcuf fi on, titC fubjed was confidered to be too important to juftify an immediate decifion, and therefore the final determination of the Houfe of Reprcfentatives is poft polled. A great deal, it appears elf°, was faid about the ratio of reprefen tation, which has for a confiderable time formed an objea of dircuffion. The reit& was, that the Houle of Reprefentatives agreed that 33,000 Ci tizens fhould, in all cafes, be entitled to a Repre fentative. This new regulation is not yet paffed into a law, though it feeme there is little doubt of its being adopted. The principal arguments ad. duced againit the propofed change, were founded on local circumftances, but the general principle was triumphant. There is no allnfion in tbefe Papers to the late reports about St. Domingo, nor indeed do they contain any intelligence of general importance. In the Pennfylranian Legiflature of the sth ult. the Houfe of Reprcfentatives formed a quo rum, and, after reading over the returns, cleded the Hon. IsaaC Ws/v6R, Efq. Speaker. On the following day, Mr. FERGUSON, Reprefentative for the city of Philadelphia, the metropolis of the United States, arofe and begged to know whether or not the journals were amendable ?—The SPSAISER replied in the affirmative. The demo cratic Member then moved, that the word Ho- nourable, prefixed to the name of Ifaac Weaver, Efq. might be expunged. He faid it was a foreign ward, and inconfillent yith republican funplici_!y, the nature and genius of that government. bk. Warne role, and faid, that attempts of a fimilar kind to rob our language were not new; that they had frequendyeecurreda but not without exciting anonifiunent. As well might be ilruck out the word Efquire as the word Honourable ; if the one beincoofiffent with the fimplicity of Republican manners, the other is equally fo. He trotted that this Houfe bad too much regard for its own dig. nity to content to fuch a motion. An effort was made to poliposse the farther confideratibn of the i motion, but it was 10ft...-Yeas, 14 —Nays 64. GOPERIk'OIt WALL: • The fate of Governor Wall, and that of the Mutineers lately executed at Spithead, holds forth a great and falutary example to our fleets and armies. Obedience is the duty of the failor and the foldier, and every departure from it. fhould be feverely and impartially punifhed. Protettion, humanity, and a arid adherence to the forms prefcribed by the Code Military or Marine, are expetted from the Officer, and any deviation from them merits chaf tifement from the State. Both one and the other, to the honour of our Conftitution, have been ac complifhed. It is a glorious illultration of the ex cellence of our legal fy Item, and fhould induce every lingliihman, in (peaking of it, to exclaim 4ft° perfrctua ! The interell made to fare Governor Wall is well. known. The whole of Wedncfday his cafe occu pied the attention of the Great Law Officers ; the Judges met at the Chancellor's in the afternoon. The conference Lined upwards of three hours. Mrs. Wall, we believe, is filter to the Earl of Seem th, and is confequently nearly allied to other noble faMilies. All there interefts and others were exerted with the utmoft vigour to fave Mr. Wall, and the petitions prefented to the King were nu merous, as well as from powerful quarters ; but his Majelly, With great firmnefs, refilled every ap plication, and Wilted that jullice Ihould take its Comte. It has been Rated, by thißake, in moll of the daily Papers,that Major WINTER, who fo fuddenly dropped down dead when coming to the trial of Governor WALL, was to have appeared as an evi dence in his behalf, and had been his intimate friend for many years. The fad is, Major Witirst was fummoned as an evidence againft Governor WALL ; and fo far from being in habits of intimacy with him, 'dually left Goree on Go vernor WALL's arriving to take the command.— This we Rate on the hell authority. It has alfo been moll ungeneronfly Rated, that the majority of the African corps were compofed of the outcaßs of fociety, who were not to be kept in order but by the molt rigorous meafures. So far from this being the truth, we know, on the heft evidence, that at the time the punifhment of Serjeant Arm. thong and the others took place, a great propor tion of the African corps confifted of di•i f fil from other regiments, and they were a remark a bly qu i et and well difpofed body of men. Of tog men who figned a depnfition againß Governor WALL at Chichefler, on their arrival in England, and who were nearly the whole who returned from Africa, 56 were drafts from the 75th, or Prince of Wales's Regiment, which was always highly efleemed as a corps. • It appears, when Mr. Wall came over from France, finding fome of the witneffes Rill living, who, he thought, might have been dead, he had views of going again abroad. Many perfons were of opinion, that as he had been twice milked, he would have obtained a mi. tigartion of his fentence, but we know that Mr. MALL never entertained fuch a flattering hope,Und therefore negleited no opportunity of preparing his mind to meet the awful event, by applying himfelf to prayer molt fervently, and at length became fo reigned as to be able to hear of his death without the lealt emotion. The following is a fuller account of the circumilances that took place at and previoufly to his execution than we had room for yetterday : Yeflerday morning, a little after four o'clock, the fcaffold began to be erefted by torch light, for the execution of this unfortunate Officer, and was completed loon after (even, except the black hang ing, which is not permitted to he difplayed, nor the pnfon bell to toll, for the departure of any one con victed of murder. The prifoner had an affeCting in terview with his wife, the Hon. Mrs. Wall, the night before, from whom he was painfully fepra ted about eleven o'clock. This dilconfolate and affeCtionate Lady, unremitting in her folicitude, caufed the Colonel to write a note to Mr. Kirby, (the Gaoler) about nine o'clock, rcqueßing that the might be permitted to remain in the cell until eleven ; thus cordially manifelling her fond but delufive hopes to the very lateft moment. Mr. Kirby, with a feel ing of humanity highly creditable to his charader, readily complied with this requeft. But, greatly unfortunate Lady ! the had not any acquifition of reafonable hope at the hour fixed for her departure. Eleven o'clock came, and the law the end of all her earthly joys !—Numberlefs tender embraces now took place. The loving wife reluelantly de parted, overwhelmed with grief, and bathed in tears, while the unfortunate hufband declared, that he could now, with Chriftian fortitude, fob mit to his unhappy fate. During the greater pan of the night, the Colonel slept but little. About four o'clock in the morning his ficep was, ho\vc. ver, oblerred In have become found, and, ac cording to the bet recollection of his attendants, he continued in this fleep rather more than an hour; fo that he could not have heard the fatal machine in its paffage to the debtors' door. His voice prefcrvcd its ufual ftrength and tone to the end ; and though very particular in his quellions refpating the machinery in every part, yet he fpoke of his approaching execution a nd d eat h w i t h perfed calmnefs. At half after fix in the morning, his prifon attendant going to his cell, was Aced by him, " whether the node he heard was not that of crating . the fcaffold ?" He was humanely re plied to in the negative. The Ordinary, Dr. FORD, loon after entered, when the prifoner de voutly joined him for fome time in prayer they then palled on to an anti-room, when the Governor afked, " whether it was a fine morning ?" On being anfwered in the affirmative, he Paid, " The time hangs heavily—l am anxious for the dote of this recut !" —One of the officers then proceeded to bind his arms with a cord, for which he extended them out firmly : but recollecting himfelf, he Paid, " I beg your pardaa, a moment," and putting his hand in his pocket, he drew out two white handkerchiefs, one of which he bound round his temples, fo as nearly to conceal his eyes, over which he placed a white cap • and then put on a round hat; the ether handker chief he kept between his hand:. he then obfirted, u the eord cuts nt2 ; but it's no matter ;" on which Dr. Foot; deiired it to be loofened, for which the prifoner bowed, And thanked him. As the clock (truck eight, the door was thrown open, at which Sheriff Cox and his Officers appeared: the Governor approaci,in . : him, laid, " I attend you, Sir!" and the proceilim, to the !Colloid, over the debtors' door, immediately fucceeded. He had no fooner afcended it, accom panied by theOrdinary,than three !beet:dive fhouts from an innumerable populace, evidently deprived him of the !Mali portion of fortitude which he had founnoned up. fie bowed his head under tin extreme preifure of ignominy, when the hangman put the halter over it, but took it off again to re place it; this done, the Governor !looped forward, and (poke to the Ordinary, who, no doubt at hig requel, pulled the cap over the lower part of th: face, when in an inftant, without waiting for am fignal, the platform dropped, and he was launched into ete-nity ! From the knot of the rope turning round to the rack of the neck, and his legs not being pulled, at his particular requell, he was fuf pended in convullive agony for more than a quar ter of an hour. After hanging a full hour, his body was Cut down, put into a cart, andknme diately conveyed to almildin in Co d/ Crofs.llreet, to be diffeded. He was drelT Mixed coloured i wa look coat, with a black tol l r fwan.down waist coat, dark pantaloons, and white filk Itockings.— He appeared a mifcrable, and ematiated objefi, never having quitted the bed of his cell from the day of condemnation, till the morning of his cxe• cution. During the time of his confinement, previous to trial,. he occupied the apartment which was for merly the refislence of Mr. Ridgway, the book. feller. His wife lived with him for the laa fort night ; fhe is a very accomplifhed woman, about his own age : although he was allowed two hours a day, from twelve to two, to walk in the yard, he did not once embrace this indulgence, and, during his whole confinement, never went out of his room, except into the lobby to confult with his Counfel. He had not many vifitor - , his only attendant was a prifoncr, who. was ap pointed for that purpofe by the turnkey. After trial he did not return to his old apartment, but was condaled into a cell ; he was 1 far favour ed as not to have irons put on, bnt a perfon was employed as a guard to watch him during the s night to prevent his doing violence to himfelf.— His bed was brought to him in the cell, on which he threw himfelf in an agony of mind, raying , it was is intention not to rife until they called - him on tM'e fatal morning. The Sheriffs weA particu larly pointed and precife in their ordees, - with re fpe6l to confining him to the uftial diet of bread and water preparatory to the awful event. This order was fcrupuloudy fulfilled. On Tnefday evening latl, while Mr. ,Robert Kerr attempted to take a fmall %ins-boat, be. longing to him, into the burn at Irnerkip, the over. fet, and he was unfortunately drowned. Every exertion was made to lave him, but in vain. His body was not found till the next morning. The Rannee, - or Princcfs of Delle, rho we fAte timc (*ince mentioned to have been confined at Dindigol, by the India Company, on fufpicion of having allifted the iafurgent Poligars, has offered, as her ranlom, a lac of pagodas, and a very con fide:rabic yearly tribute in the event of her being reftored to her fovereignty. This unfortunate Princefs likewife engages to give up thole who fc duced her to hoftility to the Company, and make the furtender of her country to them the conic (pence of any future milcondat on her part.—. Thefe terms, however, have not been accepted ; as, 'prior to any accommodation, we underttand it is infinuated, that her condat thall undergo an invcftigation before the Supreme government at Bengal. ANF.CDOTE. OF A SAILOR.—A fail.)r named Fle ming was pref Ted about two years fence, and put on b oard - a tender, the day before he was about to be married. This was done by the treachery of art acquaintance, who had not only borrowed a fum of money f him, but who endtavourecl to fupplant him in the affections of the girl of his heart. The girl, however, proved faithful in hi s abfence, and her fond tar lately arrived, flufh of prize money. Informed of the iniquitous conduct of his luppofed friend, he arrefted him for the fum lent, and then feat him the following letter : " So, Mr. Crimp, you are in Gilbert, 1 God.— That. was a d—d foul weather trick you played me; but you are under batches, and there I'll keep you, until matrimony has fpliced me to my dear Poll— I'll then give you leave to,/beer of; but hark'yc, my boy, when you are free from the grappler, don't flee,- in my wail:, or I may give you a you won't like. I wori'dn't with to fend you to Dery's loeler, becanfe as how, if I had Lot been pryfid, I might not have jell in with the prize-money. So you ungrateful ftva, I forgive you, that is, after I am &index:y : llde of my fweet Pull. No more at prefect from Your's, JOE FL k m iNc." P. S. As I underfland you love Poll, I fend you a guinea by bearer to drink her health. A French Lady, of extreme beauty, and con fiderable fortune in Paris, being a fhort time ago fmitten with the theatrical chefs and manner of a celebrated comic actor, feat to him behind the fcenes after the performance, and moil earnefily requefled the pleafure of his company to a tts-a ewe fupper. The comedian, who was fond of ad ventures, acceded to the invitation, and, as loon as he had changed his drefs, waited on the whim fical fair one. When he entered the boudoir, he found the Lady feared on a fuperb bersere,looking as if fhe had been attired by the Graces, and way addreffed by her in there words :—" You looked admirably well in your theatrical habiliments. Citizen, but your native drefs does not become you ; fo good night."—" I fee then, Madame," Paid the difcomfited fon of Thalia, " that you fell in love with my coat, and I (hall fend it t 3 fup with yon."—The actor then retired.
