Extrad of a Letter from on board one of his Majelly's (hips in Admiral Sir tames SAUMAREZ'S fquadrorr, dated off Cadiz, 28t Angult, 18ot. " We arc anzioufly waiting the combined fqua dron to come out, fhould they again dare; and we be fo fortunate as to get hold of the Monfieurs and Dons once more, free from their heavy bat teries, we make no 'doubt of giving a good ac count of them, and letting them know we are Hill Britifh Tars. The fruit of our late vidory has been the difabling three French (hips; for they were all terribly hammered; the dcftruFtion of two fiat rates, the capture of a 74, (St. Antonio,) and the annihilation of the plans of fizteen fail of the line; and all this with a force of feven fail of the line originally, reduced, by the lofs of the HANNIBAL. and the POMPEII not being ready, to Hoc fail; and of thole in the laft aftion, the Cms VIALRABLE,«nd Su PE aa only were engaged, the VENERAIILL was molt dreadfully cut up by the French Formidable, of So guns, and batteries ; but fhe loft few men, confidering the feverity of the enemy's flue and the weight of metal." FALSR ALARM !-At one o'clock on Tuefday the sons were fired from the different (hips in the Roads at Margate. The firing being rapid and irregular, the alarm of invafion fpread with eleBric celerity through the town. Thoufinds crowded to the Pier, to afcertam the particulars ; but' the furf was too high to permit any communication between the ',cads and the fhore.—lt was at length diicovered that it, was the Anniverfary of the Kinn Coronation, and as fuel; the true caufe of the firer , ' in the Roads. A batl..ng machine was on Sunday blown over at Rani!' - ate, with a Lady in it; the hark was kill ed, but Jac Lady efcapcd unhurt. A fimilar ac cident happened on Monday.—A bathing machine was blown down, with two Gentlemen m it while bathing. The machine was totally demolifhed, and the Gentlemen loft a gold watch ana all their clothes, themfelves efeaping with difficulty. In a Rate of trepidation and perfeet nakednefs, they trembled up the Reps into the bathing room, where fat fome two dozen Ladies. Each Lady held her fan or gown to her eyes; but fome, if they lifted theinclothes to hide their faces, ezpofed fome other part, being ton falhiombly drelred to have petti coats. Such (bricking and &making, and faint ing and fcampering, and roaring and crying, never becrz occurred in the place. CORN MAIVET. Mark-Lane was very well fupplied this morn ing, and a number of country buyers being at market, the Wheat trade was brisk, and many heavy purchafei made. Prices on the whole, ra ther looking up. Oats dull—fine Barleys and Malt much in demand—other articles doing little. Flour Bos. At the Falkirk Tryll lall week there was a great thew of Battle, which fold at high prices, owing to the great plenty of hay; fodder, and after grafi. At .Woolpit Fair, in Suffolk, laft weck, there was a very large thew of lilts, And fhort horned beafts, but the Drovers a (king ftill more advanced prices, the principal Graziers declined buying, and very little bufinefs was done. In a field pollefred by Mr. John Johnftone, (hip mailer in Rothefay, there is juR now a promifing fecond crop of potatoes nearly ripe ; a very abun dant crop of potatoes was raifed from the fame ground by Mr. Johnlione, about three months ago. Mr. John Griffiths, the landlord of the Bird cage tavern, in Wertgate-fireet, Bath, has made an experiment of planting a fmall fpot of garden ground near that city, with hops ; and it has this fealbn produced an abundant crop equal in quality to the finefl Farnham's. The fuccefs of the expe riment may perhaps induce others to follow the ex ample upon an enlarged kale, and thereby mate rially benefit the neighbouring country. • On Thurfday laft, the Juftices of Peace of the underward of Lanai Mire, fined no Ids than nine Butchers in the Calton, Anderfton, and Gm bals of Glafgow, for putting webs over their meat, fome of them forking it, and otherwife making it ap pear to the purchafers better than it really was. Seven of them were fined in al. each, one of them in 3L and one of them in 51. this laft having given the fuperintendant of the markets, when examin. ing his meat, infulting and abufive language ; and all of them were ordered to prifon till -payment. The example of the Magiarates of Leiceiler, who expofe the names of thofe Bakers who de fraud their cuflomers with light bread, ought to be refolutely followed in the Metropolis. Shame will often prevent people from committing bad anions when principles of virtue are totally extin guifhed. The ikeleton of a very tall man was found five feet under the furface of the bank of Cowbit-wafh, a few days ago, by fome bankers who were repair ing it near Peahill. Near the fame place, a brafs meafuring-chain was found, 22 yard long;the links of which are about 16 inches in length. The Rev. T. BowEN, twentylix years pee Curate of the parifh of Llannhynnis, in the county of Brecon, went laR week to the Bifhop of St. DAVID'S to folicit a continuance , in hishumble office, the liv- ing being vacant; when he was, to his great atio ninunent, prefented to the rectory by his Lordfhip• A hair-dreffer at Bourdeaux lately threw him felf into the river there, becaufe, lays the ratifian Journalifl, he fufpeeted his wife was not isniika.— Fortunately for the navigation of the Thames, our London hatbands are not fu hafty. The public muff be now fully convinced that the cheapnefs of bread does not depend on the plen tifulnefs of a harveft ; in fad the corn-mai-bit are become entirely Change-alley: where nothing prevails but the moll iniquitous fcenes of gembkf ; and every art is exerted to raife the price of this indif penfable neceffary of life. How long fuch plans of bare-faced villany are to be tolerated lis4r EN only knows Some weeks (ince an advertifc ment appeared in the papers, for (even wives; and on Friday fe'nnight the following advertifement appeared in the Dorchefter Journal :—" As feven ladies of relpellability, good education, engaging manners, of ferious turn, &c. with to enter into the matrimonial Rate, and whole charaters acquiefce to thofe advertifedfor by given gentlemen—the ladies, all of joint Rock, with for an advertifement appointing fume place to meet them, within the county of Dorfet: if in the neigh• bourhood of Lydlinch, the more convenient." In the advertifement of a recruiting party for Light Dragoons, are the following molt perfuafive and encouraging arguments You will be mounted on the fi nal horfes in the world, with fu perb clothing and the riche(' accoutrements ; your pay and privileges are equal to two guineas a week; you are every where rOvaed; yourfuriety is carried; you are admired by the fair, which, together with the chance of getting faVavi to a buxom widow, or bnifitag with a rid, ‘-rft, renders the fituation truly enviable and deferable. Young men out of employmeut, or otherwife uncomfortable—' There is a tide in the affairs of mcn, which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune ;' nick it, and inflantly apply, &c." A letter received by the let& arrivals from America, from a petfon who had emigrated from this country, contains the molt deplorable piCture of the fituation of our emigrant country. men that can be imagined. The writer of this letter lays, that veff:ls are daily arriving full of paffengers • one , chip from Greenock had landed at Philadelphia at the date of this letter, no fewer than 700 of thefe infatuated people; pro. vifions were extravagantly dear, and no work of any kind to be had. This fiatement coming from one who (peaks from experience, may contribute to open the eyes of the deluded, millers, and dif. contented ; fur of all countries no one perhaps is let s calculated for a pour mechanic than Ame rica. _ Yefterday a very melancholy accident happened at Dover.—As three lads were bathing in a by the Pier Head. they got upon the bar, and the tide coming up. one of them was walled into the pond; one of the others went in with a view of raving his compaiii..n. when he nnfortunatcly funk to the bottom and was drowned.

LONG EVlTY.—Thire are eleven perfons now ing in and about the village of Larkliall, parifh of Darerf, whofe a,;cs together amont to nine hun dred and eighty years ! Lilt week a lobller of a very uncommon fi7e was caught at 'North Berwick ; it weighed be tween fix and feven pounds. The extreme joint of the claw meafured nine inches in' length, and at the thicket part ten inches in circumrerence. There was very lately in Laurence Kirk, a fwal low's nell, with young ones newly fledged, which is the moll extraordinary proof of the mildnefs of the prefent feafon that has come to our knowledge. This circumflance indeed is new in in a part of the country fo fir north, and kerns to promife us a continuance of the prefent genial weather, as the well known emigrations of thefe birds generally take place about this period. On an Mtn tree in the fame neighbourhood, there are Alb fieth blof foms and a fecund crop of fruit fully fet. On Wednefday morning, as a Tradcfman in Market-ftreet, Lancafter, was opening his limp, he was furprifed at feting a partridge running acrnfs the flreet, and taking flicker in a cellar, where he caught it, brought it home, and kept' it in a pen till the evening ; when a friend coming to fee it, he opened the door of the pen, and it immediately flew out, darted through a pane of glafs in the window, and efcaped. It had no apparent wound when taken. Several others were Peen in different parts of the town the fame morning. A very deftrative bird, never taken notice of befQre in Ireland, has lately made its appearance in the neighbourhood of Bandon. Several of them have been taken and caged; it is called a Crofs bill, is about the (ice and colour of a Bunting, and the food is fondeff of, is the kernels of appleF, which it very dexteroufly fplits to get at the teed ; they fometimes have made their appearance in England, and have committed great deftration among the apples. Mr. PAR ETMS, of Saltafh, in Cornwall, has a fpania which carries vianals to an old blind dog, in a ruin at a diftance from the town, except on Sun day, when be condttes him to the houfe to dinner, aad leads him by the ear back again to his lodging. - - - Mr. Robert Feder. of Howden, has a blood mare, that has carried the poll-boys for two years every day, from Howden to Thorne, and back, which is 28 mil” in the whole, amounting to 20,230 miles. Since the poll has been altered, which was three years ago, the fame mare has carried the pott-boy to Selby and back to Howden„ which is 24 miles a day, amounting to 26,208 miles: fo that in five years, the marc.has carried the mail 49,720 miles. She (till continues to carry the mail from Howden to Selby with feeming great cafe. It has been often aliened that no boric was able to go twenty miles a day for a whole year.—The mare colt only 201. fix years ago.
