We underftand that Minifters have received in- telligence which decides the detonation of Admi ral GANTHIAUMII% fquadron. They were to be • joined at Ferrol by feveral chips. Of their being off Ferrol, accounts, it is Paid, have been received. From thence they were to proceed to Barcelona, and then to Toulon ; to be joined at each place by feveral velrels, making in all about zg. They were to be joined too by the Ruffian fleet in the Levant, with troops on board; and this arma- ment was then to fail for Egypt. The delays in the execution of this plan, we fhould think, might afford an opportunity to our naval force to ob firuft the enterprife. Yefterday his MAyerrt held a Levee at Saint James's, which was very numeronfly attended. — The company confined of their Royal Highneffes the Dukes of CLARENCE and CUMBERLAND, the Archbilhops of CANTERBURY and CASHEL, the BlfllOps ot CHESTER, LINCOLN, ELY, ST.

Their Royal Highneffes the Duke and Duchefs of YORK arrived at their houfe in Grcat Pultes,ey fireet, Bath, on Saturday night about ten o'clock, in an open landau. The Bath Volunteers were drawn out in the morning, and ancioully waited the whole of the day, in order to greet their ar rival, but were difappointed, in contequaice of the latenefs of the hour.

The Sea N E—A farm hn•fe, Gentleman's manfion and grounds, in the neig".bourbood of Tunbridge. The 1)61 mode perhaps of giving an outline of the Fable will be a fhort. !ketch of the principal changers. nail Bramble, the nephew of Sir Ro- 1 Bert, jua arrived from Ruffia, is drawn with the' . livelinefs and feelings of a Releaser, and his propen fity to the adoption of extravagant and diffipated manners is continually checked by his r.ice fend• ments of honour, and the admonitions of a heart tremblingly alive to the dillreffes of his fellow-crea tures. It was admirably perfonified by Mr. Lswts, and is in every refpeit one of his happiell performances. The invocation to his Uncle's ge nerolky in making a provifion adequate to the wants of his negleaed father, when he is on the point of rifking his life in a duel with Sir Charles Cropley, was truly affeaing. It was given with that delicacy of expreflion which is the peculiar charaderillic of natural feeling, and it was reward ed with reiterated barb of applaufe. . „Sir Robert is fond of argument, and confequent ly fond of contradiaion, the fruitful fource of dif putation, but he is alfo fond of performing the nohlea duties of philanthropy. Lalipott is at once an Apothecary and Cornet of a corps of volunteer cavalry, and the ludicrous mi lange which his convcrfation forms, is criu ally bor rowed from the Materia Afeekca and the " tented Field." The Corporal is but a faint imitation rf STERN'S Trim, and Old and Young liarrerrvAy, and Sir MM.: Crept(' have no diftinet and marling features.— , Humphry Drains po Ire Iles prong claims to originality. Inc confidential fervant of Sir Robert, he loves his ma fter without any interefted views, and is beloved by him chiefly in confequence of his invariable op pofition to the Baronet's arguments. But Hiattphry's contradietion arifes from principle, and he pleafes molt when, without knowing it s differs molt in opinion from his Matter. The charadcr is compofed but of very Bender materials ; but it produced fo ftrong an effeEt, that we have to re• gret it is not longer. WADDY 'gave it a dry but homourous colouring, which teemed perfedly congenial to the Author's meaning; and we bear our teftimony, with the greater pleafure, becaufe, though always refpeiftable, Mr. WADDY never dit played any thing fo near true Comedy before. The Poor Gentleman, Liesiienant Wombat:tom, has nothing to dillinguith him from the many cha raders which our Drama affords, where poverty and negleted merit are unable to deprefs the fpirit of the honourable and independent mind. From his difireffes, the dangers to which his daughter's innocence is eipoted, the generous intrepidity of young Bramble in extricating her, and the liberality of Sir Robert in contenting to her union with his nephew, the principal intereft of the piece is de rived. _ _ _ FAWCETT'S Lolhpot excited uninterrupted merri ment, and MUNDSN, in Sir Robert, exemplified in a ludicrous manner the coolant of argament. MUR RAY, KNIGHT, DAIRY, TOWING, and FARLEY, gave to their refpelivc parts every poffilile effc.ft. Mrs. Glass performed Mf r Worthissone with great feeling, and the MO Mae Tab of Mrs. Mar- TOCKS was remakable for much genuine hnmou-. From the univerfal plaudits with which the Co medy was recc ived, .and the judicious way in which the whole Comic ilrength of the Compa ny is brought forward, The Poor Gaylen:an promifes to become as great a favourite as any of the po pular pieces which have been produced for many years. A colloquial epilogue, in the manner of that after the Heir at Law, fucceeded the piece ; it was not quite to welt feafoned, but Rill well rallied : in this Dr. Fawcyrr felt the pulfe of the houfe, and found it beat in unifon with the hopes of the Author. Lail night, a new Scots Ballet, called Our Dan dy: Dayr, by Mr. Brawn, was prefented at Drury lane, and was received with applaufe. Theatricals, upon an ertenfive kale, are about to be efkablifhed at the Cape of Good Hope. Letters have been received from Turkey which (late, that Colonel MURRAY and Colonel Aarreu rate, fent by General Aseeceomay, have ar rived in the camp of the Grand Vizir, where they have been well received, and are concerting mea lures with the Vizir for the attack on Egypt. The praCtice of Tradefinen on retiring from tontines, has been deemed a proper example in a recent cafe. The fucceffors take the flock in hand at a fair appraifement; and, from want of capital, grant annuities for the good-will. In confequence of which, the Public are requelled " to continue their ctiftom to the old eflablilhed (hop." Mr. Ease:sr, of Mar, has prefcmted the Magi- I firms of Dundee with twenty-five waggon loads' of great coal, to be diaributed among the poor of that town.

The enemy's fquadron that was Peen, was cruising off Cape Finiftere, and mutt have been that which chaced and engaged the CONCORD frigate : feveral of the Fi.v's convoy were heavy failors, and it is much feared they may have been captured: the FLY with the greater part of the fleet were bound to Africa, and the whole con fitted of thirteen fail. On the 3d inft. the Hamilton was overtaken by a very fevere gale of wind, by which the (hip laboured fo much, that the is in much dillrefs, and fo leaky that the crew, for feveral days paa, were obliged to leave the pumps and bale at the hatchway.

The ph ult. the Di&ttor, of Liverpool, a fine new fhip, on her fief voyage, mounting 24 brafs guns. from Demerara to Liverpool. was totally wrecked at Rofsbeg, near Cattleman, county of Kerry; out of the crew, confining of 6o perfons, only three common Tailors were fared. The ex =five (bores of that wild country were covered with cotton, coffee, dye-Ruff, puncheons of rum , and thefts f the molt valuable papers : the then; were broken open, rifled, and denr..yed by the common people. Unfortunately, as no Magitirate lives in the neighbourhood of that part of the country, every thing was at the mercy of the people for three days. On the 4th day, Mr. MA It. utast., the late Fligh.Sberiff of the county of K e rry, who lives forty miles from that place. at rived at the (bore • and at {the rifk of his lit-, which was often th reatened, fucceeded in recover ing a quantity of valuable property, together with many important letters addretfed to the felt corn * mercial heufes in Mtn-pc, 'which he immediately forwarded ' • he :din r "severed nearly twenty 'lna- Lind pounds in I.Dndon Bank Notes and Bills: :le took from one of the countrymen alone, who could not read, more than 12,0001. in Bills, which it appears belonged to a Mr. JANIS FRAZER, a re• fpeaable merchant of Berhice, who was paten ger, and one of the unfortunate fuffcrers. In confequcncc of a large reward offered by Mr. MaasuaLL, Mr. FRAZkIt'S body was found, many miles from the wreck, by fume country people, which was identified by three furviving failors, and was decently interred in the Church of Inch.

It is Rated that the Navy Ef[imams for the fer vice of the prefent year amount to near feventeen millions (terling, and the Army Enimates net much short of the fame fum. The Court of Peterfburgh has ordered the fol. lowing Blips to be built with all potlible difpatch : at Cronfladt, three !hips of the line, of 120, go, and 88 suns; one of 54, and a frigate.

When the °Ricca catered the houfe, two men jumped out of a one-pair of (lairs window, and 1.111 away.—The prifoner was committed for re. /examination until the Coroner, Mr. Shelton, than report the verdia of the Jury on the decoded. who was a woman of the town. as well as the prifoner. Friday WI a very confiderable number of labourers, mechanics, and fifhermen, afembled at Eall Bourne, and proceeded to the houfes of the principal inhabitants, complaining, that the exceffive price of grain rendered it inspoilible for them to fupport their refpeetive families, And re quelling that fumething might be clone to enable them to bear the extreme prelinre of the times. CHARLES GILVERT, Efq. Mr. AUG FR, ~ n d other gentlemen, having given dr: aGmbly a hearing, afked if any of them had individually applied for relief and been refufed ? and being anfwered in the negative, Mr. Gi tat- ItT addreffed them on the impropriety of their thus appearing; but with much kindnefs promifed them, that their fevetal fituations fhould be taken into confideration on Sunday next ; after which they all returned peaceably to their refpalive homes. On Saturday, at Horfham, a fimilar affemblage of labourers applied to the fitting Magiftrates, on the fame fuhjc.t. We do not know what anfwer the Magiarates returned, but the men difperfed without the leaft apparent difpnfition for tumult. The fame evening a great number of men, women, and children, affembled together a t Bore ham cl; iving about a wheelbarrow, occupi e d by the effigy of a man in the neighbourhood, which, after exhibiting in that way, they tied up by the neck, and fet fire to, hut before it was wholly confumed, call the remain !:r into a horfepend, and difperfed without further outrage or damage, except in their way home breaking a few p anes o i glafs. : t i • '~ ~~ J .~t ~~ ~ • • r 1 4 • I I-.. ! i• , ' , , . ,-,, . 11 , :- ' 't , t .~ i~ .
