Tise Madras fleet (Lord Hawkeibury. (Baring, Ably Cafle, Montyofe with Tome other (hips, were melted to fail from thence for England the latter end of September. His Ma,)efly's frigate Wilhel- Stipa fell in sia.th the (hip United Ebigdom off Co ring* Bay, and communicated the agreeable intelli- Cence of the r ife arrival at Madras of the Marquis oaxwatitt and his Alm in the Medd* frigate, on the 18th July, aftiw a very fine paffage. The Mar quis, it was reported, would not proceed for Bengal in lets than a week. The Howe frigate was refitting at Bengal with all difpatek to receive on board the Marquis Wrtssar.sv, who was expelled to leave the Government immediately on the arrival of the Mar quis CORNWALLIS. Intelligence having been com municated to the Captain of his.Majedy's (hip Scep tre. of 74 guns, that Admiral Limon, in the Ma rerigo, with the Belle Poole frigate, bad captured the Brunfwlek Indianian, he immediately proceeded off Vizagapatam with the St. Ficuenzo frigate, in expeltation of intercepting them. Our, (hips were left cruizing off there when the Bengal fleet parted. Sir EDWARD Pascale had made filch a judicious difiribution of his force in the Bay of Bengal, that the country (hips were able to proceed to feu in Safety without convoy. By a letter from a Gentleinan in the Company's civil fervte at Bengal, we are informed, that the Minifters of the different Mabratta Chieftains were about to form a convention at Poonah, in order to fizinnit their deliberations to the Peifhwah, as the ac knowledged, though only nominal, head of the Mah ratta confederacy. The Englifh Refident will affift on this occafion, in order to mediate in all exiding matters of difpute, refpelling the fettlement of right, to lands, revenues, &c. The Peifhwah will receive every advantage and indulgence from the terms int poled by the Company on the other Mabratta Powers, who had long cramped his treafury, by utterly refufing, or at lead withholding their cnflotnary contributions. The mere landed income in the hands of this Prince was very trifling, and his re fources depended on the tribute of the other members of the empire, the principal of whom have fo long been engaged in hodilities with the Englifli, his avowed friends and allies. A letter from Bombay, dated the zd of July lays 44 The news of the capitulation of Ramjet Sing, and the reduaion of Holkar's power, has been received here and at Surat with enthufiadie demondrations of joy. The Guieawar has congratulated our Re-1 fident on the °melon. " Colonel Clofe and Mr. Elphinllone have had an interview with Atmaran, Scindea's Minder, at Nagpoor, but the latter evaded all explanations as to his Mader's views and condua, pretending that his vifit in that quarter originated Solely in religious motives. Its objets, however, is known to our Go vernment to have been an attempt again to excite the Berar Rajah.to hankies with the 13ritifia. " The remnant of Holkar's auxiliary cavalry, under Bapojee, which had etc-aped the gallant and repeated attacks of the 24th and 25th Native Regi ments, has Crofled the country to the eaftward of Agra and Delhi, and entered the Punjab, and it is added, has joined the Seiks, who, according to the lah advices, were encamped in confiderabte force on the ealtern branches of the Indus." By the Eall Indiamen lately arrived from St. He lena, we have received intelligence that the Lively (we believe her name to be) South Sea whaler had been call away on an uninhabited ifland to the cad. ward of the Cape of Good Hope, but fortunately all the crew were faved ; the weather being afterwards moderate, gave them time, by great exertions, to preferve the greeted part o f her florets, and all her mats. On exploring the Mind, they found fume nuts that had recently been culled, which they con ceived had been built by Americans, from their fa- Sion. The preservation of their boats had enabled them to catch plenty of Mb on which they fubfided. &fades, by profecuting the fifhery, it was expelled that they would be able to procure a fufficient quan tity of oil, ready to load any refit! that &sold pro ceed to the Wand to bring them to their native coun try. We understand that the (hip's company were in good health, and put fued the fifhery at all times when the weather permitted ; the bell order and dif equine had prevailed fince they had been cad away. This misfortune will, in all probability, if properly attended to, tend to the benefit of the South Sea fifh cry, as a depot of Roles may be provided to carry on the lathery during the voyage of a Ship to this country—which, b e i ng i mme di a tely fi tted out again.' with the requifue necelTdries for the eltabli(hment, may be provided with a cargo to return, which would ultimately bring the article to market at a 7-I , :h Nu trinket that( is in general erre:jell:ed. LOItS NELSON . . About one o'clock yeilerdny, the yacht, having on board the body of Lord NaLsoa, arrived off Greenwich Hofpital. The body is placed in the coffin made of the malt of l'Orient, which is put Into one made of elm, then into a leaden one. and Moldered up, and the whole placed In another large coffin of elm, for the pnrpofe of having the orau ments affixed thereon. In the yacht came Mr, TYSON, Mr. WHITBY, and the Rev. Mr. Scovv, the Chap lain of the Victory ; and the whole of the perfons who were attached to his Lordfhip's perfon. The coffin weighs nearly four hundred weight, and, in confequence of the water not being fufficiently high, could not be removed till the evening. The body was not landed until d;fk. An immenfe crowd had been colleaed upon the terrace of Green wich Hofpital from the early pan of the day. I'o wards two o'clock, a report was circulated that the remains of his Lordthip would not be removed until the next day, and as the Hofpital water•gate had been Phut, and the Penfioners had retired, the rumour obtained full, though reluiftant credit. About five, o'clock, it was lowered from the Commiffioner's yacht into a boat, and immediately conveyed to the lower Hofpital hairs. The coffin was eneveloped in the colours of the Vitiory, which were bound round it by a piece of rope about the thicknefs of one of the fheets of a fink rate. As loon as it was landed, it was carried by Tailors, part of the valiant crew of the Viaory, to the Painted Hall, from whence, we underhand, it was to have been removed in the coorfe of the evening, to the Record Chamber, in the Hof pital, and where it is to continue until the prepara tions for its lying in hate /hall be completed. , There, we are informed, cannot be &tilled for there eight or ten days. They are to be fo condrueed as to afford the public every facility for viewing the tribute of honour, which the g ratitude of the country pays to its Naval Hero. A form is ereeed along the chamber, with two divi ons, one for the ingrefs, at the other for the earth of the company. It is to be covered with black cloth. A black canopy, with a . double row of fringe, will be crated at the upper end of the room, under which the body is to lie in hate. Al railing is to be fixed, at a &Rance of dm . from the canopy, to keep off the crowd. The t. At form is enelofed on each fide, with a partition, t fifteen feet high, which will b e alfo covered with black. Lord noon, immediately that the eorpfe arrived, left Greenwich for the Secretary of State's Office, and the Admiral, to 'receive further diredions. It was then, we un derhand, :finally determined, that the proceffion by water (ball coke place on the 7th of nen month, from Greenwich to Whitehall ; the body win be depofited in the Admiralty that night, and in the morning the preceffion to St. Paul's to take place.— One of the Admiralty barges will convey the body ; the other, and thofe belonging to the Navy Board, will be covered with black cloth. FUNERAL OF LORD =MN. The workmen are going cn rapidly with the prepa rations at Greenwich Hofpital. Some of them went yellerday on board the barges belonging to the Ad miralty and Navy Board*, which they hung with black, to befit them for that pan of the folemn pro cdfion which is to take place on the water. The bottom of the vault under the great aifle of St. Paul's Cathedral, is about so feet below the flooring of the church and aifle. The earth is partly exca vated, and the hole may be Laid to be walled round immediately under the fpot where the grating was fixed under the centre of the dome. A (lone flag was then put down fo as to form the flooring, the two fides of the hole were then covered each with one fulid piece of (lone, thefe were joined to two others one at each end, and to the bottom with &tong cramps of copper. The coffin is to be put into this, and the (lone lid fattened in the fame manner over it. The preparations for the interment of the Malicious &lion in St. Paul's Cathedral, are going on with the turnoff expedition. Since Saturday morning the fcaf folding has afurned foesethin4 like a wag of the intended proceedings. The difpofition of the feats is as follow, namely— Under the dome, in each archway, in the fr',nt of the piers, and in the gallery over the choir.

The Public ate repeafully informed that the com pletion of Charnock's Memoirs of the late Lord Vif. count Natsoa has been unavoidably delayed, in con. fequence of the melancholy difaiter which took place on the tathfinti. at Mr. Gillet's in Salilbury-fquare, in the dreadful conflagration of whofe premifes more than half the book, Which was then printed off, was confnmed. This misfortune has, however, been re medied as expeditionfly as eircumllances would al low, and the Work will be ready for delivery in a few days. DREADFUL HURRICANte--Aboat the aoth of No vember, one of the molt violent hurricanes was expe rienced on the coat of Spain, that ever was remem bered. A letter received by a refpeaable honk in town. from Valentia, of the 23d alt. Rates its cads to have been weft dreadful at that place. It rained isceffantly for four days, during which time upwards of two hundred houfes were wattled away, and not * vet:lige of them left behind • a number of perfons, in endeavouring to lave their effeas, loa their lives. To add to the dtfatier, numbers of hipping were driven afhore and thivered to atoms, and many of the people on board perifhed. The &rbice packet, belonging to the houfe by whom the letter was received, was one of the !hips driven on More ; and although Aron built, the did not ftuvive the hurricane halfan hour. Fiars.—A molt terrible conflagration took plats at Brayton on Saturday fall. About noon a fire.waa difcovered in one of the offices belonging to Sir Wi lfred Lawfon. of Brayton-houfe, Bart. which raged with fnch fury, that, in a very. short !pace of time, notwithflanding every exertion, the whole fit of of. fices, the moil elegant and commodious in Cumber land, compofing a fpacious fquare (with the exception of the coach-honfe, which was a little detached from the reR) were entirely confumed, together with an immense quantity of grain, hay. &c. The flames at cended to an immeofe height in the air, prefenting grand and awful appearance. We are happy to Rate, that all Sir Wilfred's valuable bodes were faved. It is fuppofed that the fire originated from a fervent having lighted Tome shavings near one of the canna, in order to thaw the cocks and that the wind had conveyed tome of the embers into the premifes. On Friday morning a fire broke out in a cotton fa Tory belonging to Mr. Hind, fituated in George Leigh-ftreet, between Ancoats and Newton-lane, Ls verpo of, which raged with fuch rapidity, that, before any affiftance could be procured, the building was totally dearoyed, together with all the machinery ' , sc.
