Several other (hips of war,- we learn, have laffered, but we are not able to (late their precife lofs. A letter under date of the(7th of November, twin the Lord Middleton merchantman, expelled to tail with the fiat convoy, mentions that a ficknefs ozerailed on board of that (hip, as well as many .thers in the trade. Great confolation, however, is derived from the favourable feafou of the year at which it has appear ed, and fanguine hopes were en tsrtained that the cold weather would effeaually flop its further progrefs. His MAJISTY'S Minifiers have called npon the College of Phyficians, to appoint a Committee of their Body to decide nn the proper meafures to be taken in cafe of the Infatious Fever finding its way .nto this country. This requifition has been promptly complied with, and three Medical Men, converfant with this diforder in the Levant and Well Indies, are appointed for this falutary purpofe. This precau tionary meafore has arifen from an application made by Mr. Bosasq'vr, who is principal owner of a cotton (hip from the Streights, which has recently been plundered while under quarantine I Our Plymouth letter received this mnrning, Rates, that :t (hip had jnfi hove in fight from the weßvrard, having in tow a ftigate, with the lots of her main man, and fuppofed to be either French or Spanifh. The latter, in all probability, is la Guerra Spanifh frigate ; the capture of which, by his Majefly's flsip Poly ONIIMUS, was announced in the Smut of yeller day. -. The Funds yellerday gape/ism:4d r< 0141dd/table rife, in confequence of a report that the cements of the difpatches received from France, were of a pact -5c tendency.

A melancholy accident happened on Tuefday night, near St. Nicholas's Ifland, near Plymouth : Mr. Jonas, Tide Surveyor of Excife, and four of his boatmen, who left Stonehoule late in the even- ing, on the look-out for [wigglers, by tome unfor tunate accident (truck on a rock in going over the Bridge near Mount Edgeombe, and the boat being of a very fliglit contlruaton, it ;pliantly went through her bottom, and the parted in the middle. Mr. Jon's, who was a corpulent man, and unable to fwim, was very loon drowned, and the boat's crew were picked up by a boat belonging to a frigate in the Sound, but one of them loon after died ; the reit, though much broiled, are in a fair way of re covery. A paper of yetterday contains the following arti cle-14 Accounts from Ruffle Mate, that the intelli pace of the capture of the Spanilh treafure frigates excited emotion at St. Peterfburgh, when it was Sill kdown is that Capital, not very favourable to the inure& of Great Britain. Fortunately, however, our Anibal:Woes Courier was accompanied by ano ther from the Ruffian Ambaltador in this country, and their difpatches cleared away all doubts as to ' the propriety of a meafure, which though appa rently violent, was juttified, and even commanded, by the laws of ft-If-defence. Six days after the ar- rival of the Lt;glifh and Ruffian Couriers, the Spanifit Ambaffador received difpatches from his Court, and had in confequence feveral conferences with the Ruffian Minifler of State, Prince CZARTO at tux' ; and according to report , King of Spain demanded, wi:Bout the (egad of Frames, the mediation of the Ruffian Emperor to fettle his differences with England ; but the application was unfuccefiful. As this refufal could not polLbly be known at Madrid un the 12th of December, the precipitate and impo litic declaration of war on that day, is another proof of the tyranny which BONN/ANTI exercifes over the Councils of Spain, and a complete jullification of the orders iffued by our Minifters, if any juttification were neceliary after fo long and generous a forbearance on their ',att, and after Co many repeated provocations on the part of Spain." DITCH LIT House, Ozon.—Lord and Lady DiL- Loa, have, as ufual, at this teafun of the years kept open honfe at their very princely manGon in Oxford (hire, where they have daily entertained very large parties of their fafbionable friends. Dinners, balls, concerts, and (uppers, have been given in confiant fucceflion ; but the entertainments on Twelfth Night ecelled the whole. On that evening, all the neigh. bouring Nobility and Gentry were invited, exclufive of a very large party of friends, who went down from London. exprefsly for the purpofe. The evening's amnfernent commenced with a ball, the preparations for which were in the molt magnifi cent Ityle poffible. The fuperb grand &loon, or hall, which has been recently built and finifhed in all the (plendour of modern cane, was on the above evening brilliantly illuminated by a very elegant chandelier, which flied its lucre into the very inte rior of the manfion : thus direr ting the fuotfieps of the company to the ball room, which was fill more beautiful from the number of lights fufpended at equi-diftances from the cieling of that fpacious apart ment. About eight o'clock the dancing commenced, the ball being opened by the Hon. Mr. DILLON and Lady F. Srtacea. About fifteen couple followed. After dancing without a moment's ceffation until twelve o'clock, (upper was announced, which was let out on three long tables in the dining room and library. in a flyle of unufnal talk. Covers were laid fur one hundred and twenty perfoas. The (upper confined of every elegant eatable, and the choicea wines. Frame work was introduced, particularly in the dtffert, which appeared in all the various forms which the ingenuity of a firft rate conleaioner could difplay. A capital twelfth cake was placed in the centre of the board, highly decorated with naval and military trophies, &c. Dancing re-commenced foon after one o'clock, and continued with reels, &c. about three in the mut ning. The Ducbefs of Maa Laoaouou, and the Earl of Sualwsioar were of the party. NRUTIC.II.
