Nonce Or W&Li3 IIiDIADIAII.-.—The fate of this ireffol, which has etched unufual folicitude, is at length decidedly known. S.,me perfons interefted in the property of the wail, on Saturday received co pies of the following letter from Captain HANCOC K to Vice Admiral Youric, at Plymouth, dated Plo •er, at flea, April 15 : " The Amelia failed from the Ile of France the lift day of December : the Matter of her rays, that four days before, Admiral Linois, in the Marengo, with three frigates, and a number of prizes, (moftly country (hips, laden principally with rice,) arrived there. Amongft the prizes was the Prince of Wales Indiaman, which has been Come time miffing: it was the intention of the French to fit her out as a (hip of war." WEST INDIES. &c. His %jelly's chip . Acafta, arrived at Portfmnuth from Jamaica, failed the 111 of March. His Majef ty's fchooner Pickle is appointed to fail from Jamaica for England, on Monday, the l tth of March ; fhe arrived at Jamaica on the ssth of February, in 35 days from Plymouth, with difpatches, announcing a war with Spain. The Chefterfield packet arrived at Jamaica on 25th February. The William, M'lvcr, is lost at Plantain Garden River, Ja msics. The George and Mary, lambert, from Liverpool for New York, has put into St. Kitt's, in diftrefs,after king out syS days. The Zephyr, Pace, from Virginia for Jamaica, is loft on the Grand Cairns. The WillLunfon, Rawfon, from Jamaica for London, was cap tured on the 39th of December, and loft two days after, on the Col!trades. Jamaica papers to the 111 of March are received, at which period the arrival of the French in the Welt Indies does not appear to have been known at Kingllon. The official advice, of the declaration of war againft Spain did not reach Jamaica till the night of the asth of Feb►uary. The official difpatches, con taining the Spanilh declaration, were received at the Havanna on the toth of the fame month. An em bargo was immediately ordered on all Britifh vet Fels in the ports of Cuba ; but from the previous in formation which led to an expatation of this event, oor lots is Rated to have been very trivial. L'Heacuta, of 74 guns, was in Port Royal on the lit ult.: the VANGUARD, of like force, PRIN• CM CHARLOTTE, FORTUHIIII, and DISHIER fri gates, ECHO and RSINDRSR, failed tome days before on cruizes. . The outward•bound Jamaica fleet had, according to feveral coincident accounts, reached their refpec- tive definition: in perfea fafety. It appears, by us- I doubted communications tranfmitted to Jamaica from Martinique, that the Captain General of that illand is determined to ufe his utmoft efforts in. m ilitias any attack on the part of our troops, which he daily expeaed, and for that purpofe he is in.defati. gable in profecuting the works on the fortiF,eations. Eight hundred negroes have been employed, on them for nearly a twelvemonth. The hill and Come other eminences which commanded Fort Borsrbon, have been levelled. The greateft mortality prevails among the European troops of the garrifon, which are con. fiderably reduced. The Captain General has made two attempts to regain the Diamond, but the cur rents were fo ftrong, that his troops were not able to reach the rock. The grand! dikontent Pervaded the Mad. in con- Cequence of the decrees of tha Goveranteot oat .".. • , • - . the inhabitadts indifcriminately to ferve with the army, the other calling upon every proprie tor to furnifh (laves and beans of burthen, in the pro portion to his Rock of pne to three, or to pay four livres ten foul , in lieu of e ac h o f ei ther that May be deficient. When the Acaßa failed, which was on the la' of March, nothing had tranfpired of the attack made by the French on the ifand of Dominica. She has on board half a million of dollars for the merchants in the Weft India trade. By the Acafta accounts have been received, that the Emperor MUSLIMSs was, at the time of this (hip's failing, upon his march again( the town of St. Domingo, with 20,000 men, under four divifions, each commanded by a Black General. A letter from Trinidad, of the gth of March has been received, but it does not contain any public news 3 the amid bas been fubjedt to much rain, with out, however, injuring the crops, which were of good appearance. The markets were well fupplied, and affording good prices. Jamaica, Fie. 18.—The Carysfort frigate has re captured and brought in with her the brig teen Charlotte, of Briflol, a brig belonging to London, which had been taken by the enemy from the late convoy of the Hyena, and the American (hip Bet fey, of Bolton, from Amfterdam, which (he fell in with off Martinique. Fsa. 23. —The Reindeer brig, of 18 guns, Capt. Fyffe, arrived on Sunday, having convoyed the vef fels of the Cork fleet to their refpedive ports of def tination on the north fide of the Intelligence has reached ns, that a confiderable body of Charibs, French negroes, and others, have efferied a fettlement on the heights of Wathitabou. The fettlers confilt of about boo, and the men were well armed. This circumitance has caufsd Come un ealinefs to this Government. Captain Cll . ?e sw is appointed to the command of the ASTRh A frigate, at Woolwich. Letters f , om Holland mention that the naval pre parations at Flufhing, Antwerp, and Dunkirk, are carried on with unremitting aflivity, and add, that at Rochelle, Rochefort, and L'Orient, as well as in the Mediterranean ports, feveral new (hips of war are building, under pofitive injunctions to be com pleted at giv►n periods. A Spanilh fquadron of twelve fail of the line is (hied to have been ready for fea, at Cadiz, on the uth ult. Boa APARTI, after his coronation at Milan, makes a tour to the folithern provinces of France. The French have impnfed a frefh requifition on the unfortunate Hanoverians, namely, tents for the intended encampments. The French General has ordered all the gun powder fiores to be removed out of the electorate. Some Toulon fifhermen have been hanged, on fuf picion of giving information refpeding the French fleet to the Bruins ; and notice has been given to the reft of this body, that any future communication with the Englifh upon any occafion, will fubjea them to like puniament. Mr. GAWKS arrived at Berlin from St. Fete& burgh on the 9th infiant ; he was the bearer of fome difpatches of importance from Lord L. Guwaa to Mr. JACKSON. The Fruition General Zasranw was at that date on the eve of his departure on his ex traordinary miffion to Peteriburgh. A letter from Madrid of the Bth ult. lays—" A difpatch from the Intendant of the troops at the Ha vannah, dated the 16th of February, to the Military Commandant of the Province of Corogne, announces that the Negroes at St. Domingo have no refs than fifty gun-beats, a fchooner, and a brig of 14 guns, which cruize from fifteen to twenty leagues from the Ifland, and have committed the moil chocking out rages on the crews of the Spanifh chips. The brig la Bonne-Foi, from St. Andero, was taken by the Brigands, and every foul of the crew maffocred.— The Intendant advifes the Spanifh matters of veffel, to keep as diftant from St. Domingo as poflible, and to make tire of the Englith flag, which is very much refpeded by DISSALINES." Saturday we received the Bolton papers to the 7th nit.and they are exciufively occupied with local mat ter of no general intereft : one of them announces the arrival of a veffel in 32 days from the city of St. Domingo, with accounts that every thing was per fedly tranquil there, and no apprehenfion entertained of an attack from the Blacks. Molt articles of fo reign produce were very low : Flour, however, fold at 18 dollars per barrel. EAST INcoss.—By the late overland difpatch, we have advice of fome diaurbance in the newly con quered country between the Jumma and the Cane. A large body of infurgents inverted one of our fort!, and before Colonel Powit.t. could detach a fufficient force for its defence; the garrifon abandoned it and their baggage, &c. and were for the greater part cut to pieces in their retreat. Holkar loft a large portion of his artillery in crof fing the rivers, during his late movement towards Delhi. Many of the guns, on the waters fubfiding, were recovered by the English. The merchants of Poonah have opened another fubfeription for the profecution of the war againft Holkar. At the date of the raft accounts from Delhi, Na wab Allee was encamped in the neighbourhood of Kalingur, having had leveret revere fleirmithes with the enemy, who had dellroyed numerous villages, and razed fome forts, in the expedition of finding treafttre. The remains of Tantia's army, which had retired to the jungles. have been ant to pieces by the Hill Chieftains ; and a firong corps which Holkar fent to at with them, (hared the fame fate, having been fur• prifed in a defile. The banditti of Rajah Rom Sing have realfembled in conliderable force in the neighbourhood of Bun. dlecuod : troops were advancing from different points againfi The jeypoor Rajah has delivered to Captain GAR DEM, the Bridal Refident, fomc ies fern by Holkar, to engage him and his people in holtilities againft the Englilh. The didurbances in the Pollams have not ♦et fob. fided : the infurgents occupy fume polls in the atom -taloa iaacceffible to a regular force. THE Cl/EVA/ER BOISGELEN's ACCCII7' OF ANCIEN if; D OA R% MALT:I. Malta, fiat Meirtioned in the ea: Hell poem in ex- . inence, and fince noticed incidentat!y in many ii on dred volumes, has at left found a !bitable hittu. rian in the perfon of rne its own Knights. '1'1).7 foldier may now read ar interetiog account to an Order that united religion with the iword ; the CIA"- fical reader, acquainted with all the beauties of the Odyffey, will long to recogniii the grotto of Ca info, who protrafted the Itay of 'he 17!vile; while thofe converfant with, and attached to the du ties of our religion, will not be (141e:tied to been= better acquainted with a fpot where the ekquent St. Paul, after effecting a landing in a bay which to this' day bears his name,. rendered his perfon Lured its• the eyes of the barbarians, by difarming the deadly viper of its poifon. In our own times, Delille, alluding to the exploits' performed there, confiders its very rocks as fertile in laurels, while the Prefident Henault compliments the Order of St. John, as the only on originating out of the Holy Wars, that fill continued to preferve t h e original fpirit of its primitive irdlitution. But it is not the hiflorian, or the poet alone, that has affixed a high value to an ifland admirably fitu ated both for war and commerce 3 ltatefmen, too, have viewed it with a jealous eye, and the peace of Europe appears to have been interrupted on purpofe to decide the important queßion, to what nation it fhould appertain ? On a reference to the difpatcher of Lord Whitworth, while Ambaffador in France,. we find the then Fir tt Cunful, now Emperor, übferv ing in tBo3, " that on Malta mull depend peace or war;" and even aliening, in perfon, " that he would rather fee us in polieffinn of the Fanxbourg St. An toine, than of this ifland." Three fplendid quarto volumes, embellilhed with one of the largeft book charts ever publithed, and variety of intercding engravings, ferve to convey a fishable idea of fo important a lc:dement. The work is very appotitely dedicated to the " Btitifh Navy, which has produced fo many celebrated heroes, and whofe brilliant exploits may be faid to rival even tbofe of ancient chivalry." The fird part contains a geographical defcription of the Wand, together with an account of its antiqnities, government, admini thation, trade, and finances ; the remainder is dedi cated to its hiltory. The author accordingly begins with that period when it was known to th e Greeks i and mentioned by Homer under the well known name of Hyperia. He then traces out its revolu dons under the Phomicians, the Carthaginians, the Romans, the Vandals, the Arabs, the Normans, the Germans, the French, and the Spaniards, &c. &c. The events recorded are elucidated by means of an cient fepulchral lamps, altars, medals, marbles vafes, candelabra, &c. Here alto the antiquary will find balk relievos, a head c,f Augutins, a Ratue of Her cules, and the bons of Penthefilea, Zenobia, and An- tinous ; nor are certain ancient tombs exifting in the engemma mountains forgotten; there being two plates, exhibiting views, or rather fedl•ns, of the interior of them. It appears from the ichnogra,- phy, or ground plan of the 7 adat A aur ifiira, that a portion of it was built fomewhat after the manner of the magical circles of our ancient Druids, while liones s , eighteen feet in height, prefent an idea of the Giant's Caufeway. At the Cafal Zurich, on the other hand, we find a hoofe, an elevation of which is annexed in a plate, entirely in the (Lyle of Grecian architedure. Nor will the lover of Natural Hillory be difpleaf ed with the perfpeoftive view of the molltroom theft; or the very accurate reprefentation of the Maltefe mufhroom itfeif, termed the fungus ryphoide,, corcineur Meliten . fis, by Bocconi, and the gnomorien, by Michell, who has written a treatife exprefsly for the purpofe of defcrihing it. The cofiame of the inhabitants, their manners, tra ditions, and fingularities, are fully defcribed and enumerated. The fertility, as well as the produc• tions of the foil, too, are all mentioned in regular or der ; and while our farmers may be defirous to natu‘ ralife the amino, the lalitnagnum, and particularly the filo, fo well adapted for fodder, the manufacturer will not be difpleafed to learn that there are no lefs than three diftind species of cotton here : one indigenous, another brought from Siam ; and a third of a cinna mon, or nankeen colour. Nor will fame of the ladies be furry to learn, that what Linnzus cl:fignates as the rani: famdiaris Matfilinu, admired by both ancient Greeks and Romans,makcs the prettieft modern lap dog ever beheld, although the late Grand Matter was unable to avert his own fate, and that of his domi nions, by the prefent of one of them to the wife of the French Admiral. An accurate reprefentatior, of this favourite, commonly called the &Ann, is annexed. In the hillorical part will be found a corral ac. count of the means by which Malta for a time be- came annexed to France ; and when we confider the imnienfe sums expended in, and for this ifland, we cannot but exprefs a hope that it will hereafter con flitute an itufrvißk portion of the Britilh empire. DREADFUL. FIRE.—Lail night, about nine o'clock, one of the extenfive flour mills of Meffrs. John and Charles Millwood, at Bromley, near Bow, in Mid dicier, was difcovered to he on fire (but from what caufe has not yet been afeerrained), and every poi: fible exertion was ufed by the inhabitants of Bow, Bromley, Stratford, and the surrounding neighbour hood, to get it under, but without effed, as it loon communicated to the fecond mill. About eleven o'clock the firs fire engine arrived from London, and was Coon followed by feveral others, which intmedi. ately commenced playing on diErent parts of the premifes. By this time the fire had got fo much a-head, that every exertion to flop it proved ineffec tual, and the flames communicated to two other large Beta mills belongi,rg to Mr. Hatchard, which were all., coolumed, together with leveral out hauler and cottages. At halt pail one o'clttck this morn ing.the four mill- wel, entirely confunfrd. The whole exhibited a mint terrific appearance. In addition to t h e Bow, Bromley, and Stratford Volunteers, we no ticed a detachment of the Fitt, L titian Regiment, and of the Southwark Voluweers, who effectually kept off the populace from impeding the wcrking of the engines. The n,;;ls ere extremely full of conr an d flout, which burnt with altorrilhing fury. Sunday morning a fire broke out in an onthoufe, fituated in the tan•yard of Meirs. Ridley and h•to f in Eangate-Ilreet, Bury, but by timely riffifiance, it was prevented communicating to any other part of the premifes.
