We mentioned yefterday that Lord Matson had failed from Margate Roads, leaving behind him t h e greater part of his fleet. His Lordfhip ar rived off Harwich the fame evening. On his ar rival there his Lordfhip fent for the Commanders of the Sea Fencibles, from whom he will, no doubt, obtain the fame afiiftance which was fo readily of fered by thole of Kent, fhould their fervices be re quired. Probably it is one of hit Lordfhip's ob. jdts to organize a fyftematic plan of fervice for theft bodies of men in cafe of meaty.

The Eaff India Company's (hip the Casti.a Evan, commanded by Captain &Latest:tee CVM. MING, was under difpatch from Slaugm• Roads, on the fifth of February, for the Psondency of Ma dras, from whence (he takes her departure for Eng land. The HENRY DUNDAI, Captain WALTRIL aaornaai, was under weigh from the Mud of Madeira on the 18th of May lan, whither the touched to take in a fupply of wine for India. We bear that the Company's late fhip the Kier, which was captured by Su RCO u r r, in Oaober lan, in the Bay of Bengal, and fent to the Ifle of France, has arrived at Copenhagen, with a cargo. We learn that the (hi s which le ft this country laa feafon for Bengal, for the purpofe of bringing home cargoes of rice, have moftly arrived at that Prefideacy, and Come of them are now on their paffage home. A (mall (quadron, confining of the Cs rya toe, of so guns, and three frigates, has !Wept Batavia Roads, and taken "poffeffon of Onrooft and Cow. per's gland, and five French privateers, which were a great annoyance to our trade in that part of the world. The Company's (hips the LORD WALSIIIOII,IIII, Eats Seance', Tasst , and HIRCULIaII, arrived at Calcutta on the tt arc of h February, and expeteted to be difpatched in The (hips ATLAS and HERCULIIIS, engage d by Government to carry canvas toNewSouth Oast have been licenfed."to proceed to China, for the purpofe of bringing home cargoes of tea, on ac count of the Eaft India Company. Yefterday Capt. TH estaur arrived at the Ad miralty with difpatches from Admiral Pot.E. A Subfcription is opened at LLOYD'3 Coffee houfc, for the relief of the fufferers in the Glorious Viiftory by Sir JAMES SAUNIAWLEZ, Ban. on the tath of July, 18ot. The Channel Fleet is regularly fupplied three times a week with vegetables and water. Fifty-three Sailors, deferters, furrendered them (elves up at the Admiralty, and to the regulating Captains at Tower-Hill, in the courfe of yeller day, under the benefit of the Proclamation. The Hon. Captain Mu a RAY, Commander of his Majefty's late fhip the Jason, arrived in town yef terday from St. Malo, and immediately waited on the Lords of the Admiralty. The Sibelle Antionette, of 54 guns, and the Duyfje, two Dutch chips, taken, and brought to England by the VETERAN in May 1800, but which Sips were liberated, are now in the Tezel armed, and ready for fea. We have good authority for contradifting the ftatement which has appeared in feveral papers, of the America, of 64 guns, which was wrecked near Hifpaniola Come time fince, being weighed by the Spaniards, and converted into a prifon-fhip. The fad is, the America was wrecked going from Halifax, near the eaft end of Jamaica, and was in a few days afterwards weighed and carried into Port Royal Harbour under ury-mafis, where the now ferves as a prifon-fhip f or French and Spanifb prifoners of war. The Speedwell, Porn, from Martinique, was totaly 101 l at Gibraltar, on the 16th of July. The Mohawk, —, from New York to Liver pool, arrived at Falmouth on the 4th inflant, in twenty-eight days • five days before, the left the homeward-bound Leeward-Ifland fleet, confifting of upwards of too fail, under convoy of two fri gates, and were joined on the tft of Auguft by the Noses and GLinsioas frigates. On Sunday arrived off Deal, and failed through the Downs the Weft India fhip Phsenix, Captain Dovo Las from Jamaica. She failed from Port Royal ha rbour on the 26th of June. The MAGI. CIENNE frigate failed from Port Royal, bound to Port Anionic on the-s3d June, to convoy home the fleet, confifting of 7o fail, which was expeeted to fail on the tft of July ; parted company with the Earl of Wycombe,on the t oth of July, in lat. 39.3. long. 78. 53. all well. On Monday fe'nnight failed from Leith Roads, the Wright: armed (hip with the trade for the Elbe; alto failed from Leith Roads, the Prince of Wales, Captain MURIAY, for Guernfey. - Friday fe'nnight,'arrived at Aberdeen, the Jane, Jarzsow, from Greenland with to fifb, producing butts of blubber. Letters from Gibraltar Date, that on the 18th ult. the Hannibal, which had been obliged to re• turn to Algeziras Bay, was anchored off the forts. Sir JAMES SAUMAREZ, with his fquadron, and his prize, the San Antonio, was in the Bay of Gibral tar, repairing the damages they had fullained in the different anions. It was reported at Gibraltar that the Formidable, Admiral Lir/013's flag /hip, and which was engaged, by the Va mz la DLit, on the morning of the 13th, had funk after her return to Cadiz. The report, however, was not received with much credit. It was reported likewife at Gi braltar, that Admiral Limois s fquadron was to be joined by the French and Spanifh (hips in the Bay of Cadiz, and then to proceed, with 5000 troops on board, to Lilbon, to take poffeflion of it, and the fleet of Englifli merchafitmen in the Tagus, amounting to from go to too fail. We an. inclined to think, from the information we have had from feveral quarters, that there was Tome &un dation for this rumour ; and we apprehend it was to render the effect of the attempt more decifive, that the French and Spaniards have endeavoured to lull the people of this country into a degree of fecurity refpeaing the confequences of peace with Portugal. It is probable, however, that the effea of the dib ferent battles in the neigbouthood of Gibraltar, and the difaflen and damages iliftained by the ene my, will prevent the execution of this plan. At any rate the attempt is likely to be fo long delayed LS to allow Sir JANIS SAVINAILEZ to block the con federates up in Cadiz for a good while to come. It is known that a powerful reinforcement of feveral fail of the line has been fear to the Mediterranean, which will give Sir JAMES SAUMILRIZ a decided fuperiority. Forth herrings are felling in Edinburgh three for a penny. The herring Merl' in the Forth has let in early this feafon, and promifes to be abundant. We bear from Bengal, that the necefary orders have been iffued for railing one regiment of native cavalry, and two regitncnts of native infantry.— The promotions which take place on this occafion are made with arid attention to feniority. -- The town of Boulogne was befieged in 1544, by Kix° HURT VIII. and furrendered ontlie 14th of September. If we are to believe the hifiories orally communicated by the Warders of the i Tower, it fbould feem that Funs without any re port whatever, had the meet of that event ; for the wooden cannon which they !hew was, as they fay, one of feveral which Kum Halter had drawn up in fight of the town, where the rnatihinefs of the ground Obilrueed the advance of his heavy artillery. Alarmed at the appearance of fo power full a battering train, the Governor, they fay, fur rendered.—The truth is, that the place was beam Iy defended until the death of the Lieutenant-Go vernor PHILIP Coasa, who was killed ; and then furrendered by the cowardice of the Governor Vials's, who was afterwards beheaded for bis mif conduQ. It was the taking of this town that gave its origin to the lip of the Book:at Meat b, or Mouth of Boulogne harbour, which now gives the name of the saga Mosash to the Inn, on which it was originally placed, and to the ftreet it Sands in.

The Gipfies had a grand field day at Norwood, on Saturday fc'nnight. There was a prodigious affemblage of the different gangs, and their tents formed a fort of ftreet, where a feaft was cooked. The grafs was befpread with a variety of difbei, and they fat around, according to the eaftern fa. &ion, croft-legged. The Gipfey King prefided with a prodigious long pipe, affuning a fort of Cullen dignity. The proprietor of a barrel-organ attended, and amufed the company with the fa vourite fong of The Grinder. Thurfday forenoon, upon turning up part of the floor, oppoilte to the pulpit of the Outer High Church, Glafgow, (at preens undergoing repair) a flieleton was difcovered, with a gold chain, about a yard long, rolled round one of the legs. The new Splendid Comic Pantomime, named the Ectpfi, or Harlequin in China, brought out Lift night, for the firft time, at the Royal Circus, St. George's Fields, padres fuch variety, excellence of Scenery and admirable Mufic, which is by Mr. WARR, as to obtain froth a truly overflowing and brilliant audience, the londeft and molt emotive approbation--and we have no doubt but this pro dudion, in conjunetion with the rplendud and in. terefting Scenes of the Fire Kat, or Alert and Re fa fie, has fecund the molt diftinguithed patronage of the Public. The evidence of the efficacy of Naito?, Taacrints, of late the fubjett of fo much contro verfy fpeeulation, is at length conftderecl as decifive i'and medical eharaeters of high reputa tion are now recommending their ufe. The idea entertainedly Tome that their ,good aces were afcribable to imagination Is proved to be erroneous, finee they are found . to. cure infants and horfes as readily as any other fultieets. Indeed; the utility of the 'traitors, as i remedy for inflamed eyes, rprains, contufions, and confequestly lamenefs of horfes, is now fo well eltablilbed that they are ra pidly adopting in Gentlemen's Rabies. Among Tome fingular cures upon horfes recently commu dicated, and publilbed during the precut month, is a very remarkable cafe from A.
