The only letters yet received, come by the way of Jerfey. Captain C. BRISBANE, whofe fpirited conditti in the capture of the Chevieite is an objed of univer fal admiration, had fignalized himfelf in many former inftances. It was owing to his penetration and prefence of mind that Lord KEITH received information of the approach of the Dutch fleet at the Cape of Good Hope, and formed that judici ous plan, by which they were taken. Captain B. was on his way to Europe, but meeting the ene my's fleet, he conjeAured that they could have no other deflination but the Cape. Regardlefs of per fonal confequences, he was moved by no confider ation but the fervice of his country—he returned to the Cape, and apprized the Admiral of hi fufpicions, which were fo fuccefsfully realized.

The Workfop Volunteers have been difbandcd by order of the Duke of PORTLAND. An extraordinary inftance occurred laft week in Weymouth : the fervant of a Gentleman being or dered to drown fome kittens, was much furprifcd to find that three out of the number, inftead of being of that fpecies, were young rate, which the cat had °healed, and was as fond M as if her own brood. A letter from Lifbon, dated July 6, fays, " All pallingers are allowed to land here without pair ports, except the French and bilk Why they exclude the latter, I cannot account for ; it kept us from going on fltore for five days — not for wart of the interference of friends—but there were three Culiorn-boute holidays, in celebration of Tome of their Saints." A Letter from Li(bon, dated July 14, lays : di I wrote you the .7th inft. by theW•xsimon am packet, race which period peace has again been ligned at Badajos, by which the point of receiving French and Spanifh garriCons in Portugal is given up by the interference of the KING of SPAIN, who guarantees to France the doe obfervance of the Treaty with Portugal.

" The Laos , ARA SILL( ' extra packet, from Falmouth, with the Mail of the 23d of June for this place, wascaptured off the Bar of Lifbon by a lugger privateer of 14 guns. Thepaffengers, Cap tam, and crew, were all put on board an American veffel juft then entering the Tagus. This privateer has an Englilh, Spaniffi, and French Commiffion.

The long impending war between feveral of the native powers of India has at length commenced by an atlion between the Mahrattas and the Rajah of Jeypore.—The latter having collefted a confi derable force in the neighbourhood of his capital, and being joined by mat of his allies, refufed to pay the tribute which he formerly engaged to Scin. den. The blabratta army in confequenee advanc ed, about the middle of January, towards Jugpore, while the Rajah broke up from his encampments to meet it ; the Mahrattas took port on the banks of a river five cots from Jeypore, and for form time difputed its palette with the Rajah's troops, but. Coon retired to a neighbouring jungle, where they lay until about half the Jerpore troops had crofed the beam, when they Called forth and commenc ed an impetuous attack before the others bad time to form. The elephant on which the Rajah was fated was killed b a ball from a nine-pounder, and the fuppofed f all of their Chief increafed the confufion of his followers ; they were put to the rout with incredible 'laughter, and purfoed for up wards of two cols; the Rajah, however, rallied his troops, turned on his purfuers, and ceeeded in forcing them to recrofs the river, but, from the nature of the country, the extent of his las, and the impo6ng pofition of the enemy, be was deter red from patenting his advantage further.—For fevers' days, to the date of the laft overland dif. patches, the two armies lay amok within view of each other : reinforcements froth all quarters were snarebi% to each party, and each appeared Ire. (dyed in th eir relperre purpaes ; to enforce the tribute, the Rajah to defend his lode. pentleoce to the lel extremity. , • TfIB MARgUIS OF ABERCORN.I In the STAR of yeflerday we briefly flated the melancholy accident which befell the Mnagyis of An ER CORN on Saturday laft, in the neighbourhood of Stanmore, but as that account feems in fome meafure to have been incorrea, we lay before our readers the following particulars, efpecially as it will no doubt be gratifying to the numerousfriends of his Lordfhip, to be informed that he is in a fair way of doing well, as are alfo the ladies who ac companied him. About ten o'clock in the morning, the Marquis ordered the phaeton and pair to take the Marchio. nets an Lady CATHERINE HAMILTON (the Mar quis's daughter) to town. They left the Priory a few minutes before eleven. When•they got about half a mile on this fide Stanmore, being on the clef - cent of the hill, the boric' went rapidly down without being curbed, and before they got to the bottom, went off at full gallop. In vain his Lordfhip attempted to flop their career : they continued it nearly a mile, when the Marquis (from exerting the whole of his mufcular ftrzngth) broke the reins. From lofing his hold, and the fudden jerk which the carriage received, the Marquis was thrown feveral feet above the vehicle, and fell at fome diflance. In the fall both his legs were broken ; one at the ancle, the other immediately below the calf. In this Rate the Marquis remained on the ground when the fer vants came up. The horfes continued running for two miles further, the Marchionefs and Lady CA. THERINE keeping their feats, when the coachman on horfeback overtook them, and made a bold ef fort to turn the hocks into a hedge, by facing his horfe againfl them in front : the attempt was not fucccfsful, for the cattle furioufly drove againft him—he made a fecond attempt, when, inftead of driving the horfes into the hedge intended, they backed the phaeton into a deep ditch on the other fide of the road. The Marchionefs and Lady CA THERINE rolled into a hedge, and immediately af ter fell into the ditch, which was full of mud.— Lady CATHERINE received no other injury than what arofe from the fright ; hut the Marchionefs, mit:five of her clothes being all torn to tatters, was hurt on her left fide, aid much iCratched in the arms and face by thorns and brambles. Their efcape was truly a providential one. To the coachman's fpirited conduift the Ladies may confider themfelves much indebted. With the afilflance of the fervants, the Ladies were imme• diately taken out of the ditch ; but no fooner were 'they out of danger, than they fainted, and remain ! ed in a Rate of infenfibility nearly twenty minutes. Lady CATHERINE was firlt reflored to her ferifes, but the Marchionefs remained fome time longer much convulfed. Happily, in lefs than half an hour, both Ladies were enabled to walk, with the affillance of the fervants, to the Marquis, who was at this time lying on a bank by the road fide, attended by the Surgeon of Stanmore. The Sur geon received notice of the accident at the time it happened, feveral perfons,inhabi tants of Stanmore, having leen the affair from the top of the hill. In lea time than a quarter of an hour airo the acci dent the Surgeon was with the Marquis, and fet the broken limbs without lofs of time. His Lordfhip was carried in a litter to the Prio ry, the Marchionefs, and Lady CATHERINE HA MILTON following in a poft.chaife. An exprefs had been previoufly fent off to London for Dr. PEMBERTON, Dr. LYNN, and Mr. HEAVISIDE : thofe Gentlemen arrived loon after the Marquis reached the Priory. A confultation was held, when the procefs ufed by the Surgeon of Stan more was approved of. The Marquis was carried to bed, and attended during the day by the Fa culty. Little or no fever appeared : be pared the following night with as much tranquillity as could be expeacd under fuch circumflances, having (ra,i fourhours. During Sunday, the fymptoms rem:A cc' the fame, free from fever, and in apparent good fpirits. Sunday night the Marqnis dept between five and fix hours ; and yeller.lay his Lordfhip was fo much reconred, in theopinion of his phyficians, that Dr. PEMBERTON and Mr. HEAVIStDE left him, and returned to town for the day. In the evening they returned to the Priory. With refpca to the Marchionefs, the alarm and terror which took poffeffion of her mind at the time of this unfortunate affair, added to the injury fuftained from her fide being much bruifed, tended to in creafe the indifpofinon, though not to fuch a de gree is to oblige her Ladyfhip to keep her bed.— A few days repofe will probably reaore her to health and (pints. After the Marchionefs and Lady Catherine Were thrown out of the phaeton, the horfes again fet off, and continued to run with the utmoll 'fury. The curate of Edgware coming along the road attempt ed to aop them, when unhappily the phaeton drove againft him, and took off the cap of his knee. At laft the horfcs were flopped at the bridge at Edg ware. What is very fingular, neither the horfes or the carriage received the fmalleft injury. A great deal of new Wheat was carted about Witham and Brasted, in Eller, the latter end of talk week ; and ten quarters of a fine white fample *ere fold in. Chelmsford market on Friday lait. Yetterdar a phenomenon in the produce of Bar ley was exhibited before the Board of Agriculture: the feed was planted in March latt: it threw out 18 items about Midfutbrner, from which 26 ears came to maturity, the whole produce of which is 1302 barley-corns: the feed came from Egypt. The la letters front Paris Sate, that the harveri was nearly clofed thro ughp ut France, and had proved every where abut, Saturday evening, ern !even o'clock, three young men, all confederates, Went into a gold. fmittes (hop in Holborn, under pretence of buying rettsfe:ds. After they went away from the (hop, gold fads, and other articles were miffing to the amount of sal. notice of which being fcnt to the Public Oaks, Hatton Garden, one of the Offscers of the same of O'Burn, apprebsoded . l yaws Sister in Holborn, wkit the above piopee. ty opal bier The account he gave of h i m felf before the the Ma Rates was very . unfatisfatory. He was committed for re-examinauon to-morrow. DUBLIN, 7nr 3o; Monday, his Excellency the LOPS Li Et/T6NANT of IrelanCi reviewed come of the troops in the Pharnix Park. The Lady Lieutenant and fevtral other Perfonagcs of diahletinn w.-re fpetetators. A nit) , Council was held by his Excellency on Tuefday WI; at Dublin Cagle, when a variety of bufinefs was tranfa6ted. Mr. Secnnary Amio-rr was fworn of the Council, and took his place ac cordingly. A Proclamation was ordered by the COuncil, offering a reward of tool. for each of the grit three perfons concerned in houghing 3Z cheep and nine bullocks, in the county of Kildare, the property of GILBERT MA tug, Efq. and burning his !tables and out-houfes. Yellerday morning the Earl and Counters of CLARE arrived at their Houle in Ely-place, Dublin, from England. Saturday lA, Lord CALLEN failed for Port• Patrick, and on Monday Vikount CLERnowv ar. rived from Portpattick. Lord O'NEIL, and Lord C. Bsstmaca, fourth fon of the Duke of PORTLAND, have arrived in Dublin. A (hocking fpeflacle of that moR inhuman preaice of houghing and maiming cattle, was feat in Smithfield on Thurfday left, when feven bul locks, and thirtytwo fheep were brought to fale on cars, that had been treated in that favage man ner. The fcenc of the atrocity was in the county of Kildare, in the neighbourhoods of Lyons and Balringlafs. Thomas Corry and John Dchnrt, the Captain and Mate of a fhip who have been fome time con fined in Nen-gate, on a charge of having at fez caufed the death of one of the hands of the vele), were on Friday enlarged. Finding that they could not be tried at the laft commifEun, but only in a Court of Admiralty, they memorialed his Excel lency the Lord Lieutetant,in confequence of which they were brought up to the Celtic, and after a IlriEt and humane inveßigation of the charge againft them, by the Right Honourable J. STIW. ART, his Majcfty's Attorney General, it appeared to be malicious and ill founded,the ruffian having abfconded who was the accufer. There men are much to be pitied, having greatly fuffered by long confinement. Saturday, games M.Laugbfin found guilty of uttering forged bank notes, was executed at the front of the New Gaol, purfuant to his fentence. No one has travelled the roads of Ireland with out experiencing the intolerable nuifance of Cabin Curs; there noxious animals, partaking nothing . of the hofpitable and friendly natures of the poor cottagers who own them, rtm out at the approach ofa horfeman or a carriage, and by their barking and attempts to bite the cattle, are often the caufe of imminent danger, and, too frequently, of the, molt Ihockiag accidents. A melancholy inilance of this occurred lately in the neighbourhood of Londonderry : as a party of ladies was returning from the country on a jaunting ear, the houfe frightened by a dog which ran from a houfe on the road fide, gallopped off, when Mrs. Axis- STRONG, wife of Captain ARMSTRONG of the Fer managh militia., attempting to difengage herfelf, was thrown front the car and killed on thefpot.— The other Ladies efcaped without any material injury. Saturday night, the honk of Mr. Jeoffry Foote, at Effex.bridge, was robbed of cafh and notes, by Tome perfon or perfoni, who found means to con ceal themfelves therein for that purpofe. HIGH COURT OF ADMIRALTY. almilitsom AND OTHERS V. THE jAsOtt AND CARGO. Thefe were faits inflituted for falvage by B. Beverley, of London, merchant, owner of the fnow Tapfler, of Norton:, and of John Anderfon ' Cap tain of the Tapfter, who claimed for and on behalf of liinifelf and crew, *nd of a perfon of the name of Myles Hughes. a pafknger on board tile Tap fler, who likewife libelled againft the fail brig Jafon and cargo, as a failor, for preferviaa this vacl and cargo from ckftruaion. The filets of this cafe appeared to be as follow: The Snow Tapfler. the property of Mr. Beverley. being on her paffage from Norfolk, in Virginia. to Cork, difcovered the brig Jafon about twenty leagues to the fouthward and weftward•of Cape Clear, with her head to the north, under a dole reefed maintop-fail, and apparently in much clifor der. Captain Anderfon, imagining fhe was in di ft re fs,hawled his wind and made a stretch to fetch the brig Jafon, and on hailing her received no an fwer, he therefore difpatched his Mate and two of his feamenon board,who fltortly after returned and reported to him that this veffel was totally defened, that there were four feet and a half of water in the hold, and it appeared to theist, that it was the intention of the perfons who abandoned her to have funk her, as the was kuttlect, and that fbe was laden with fundry ankles of merchandife.--as Captain Anderfon thereupon made fuch judicious arrangements as be thought advifable, and beought this veirel and cargo in fafety into the port. The other parties who claimed falvage were O'Meara, mate of the Tapfler, and Richard Walker, and Patterfon Morris, feamen, who were put on board this reel to navigate her under Captain Ander fon's direCtions. • The cattle was argued by Advocates for the re , fpcdive parties, the owners of the Jafon and cargo fubmitting to fuck reafonable compenfation as the Court might award. The Learned jiidge, with much ability and legal knowledge, laid down the law refpeding faloage, and particularly the duty of falvors in cafes of tii is kind ; he adopted the dodrine of Sir WM. Scorr, that the cut% ferrite performed was not the pro per tell for the quantum of reward ; that it was for the intereil of cotinmeree and navigation, that a confiderable reward (ball be held up, and that if meritorious falrors are to he paid at all, they ongbt to be paid liberally : in this cafe the Court taking into conlideration that if this velfel and camo was not opportunely fared by Captain Anderfon and crew, inevitable dellrudion mud have followed, he therefore decreed them the one half valise of flip and cargo, which was diaributed according to the rtfpeetile rank and exertions of the daimons.
