Oae of them paned through the Sound of Liatiz, and moil have gone on, eith.r to the Sound of binil, nr towards Oban ; the otLr came the iutide of Luing, and pie ceeded toward. Cuati, through which there is no palrage, and came to anchor ; h3at. Went c if to her in the evening, but were n 1! per rniacd to go no board, and were told, that if they did not Rand. off, they he funk. From the place where this fhip is at anchor, it is evident they ate completely ignorant of the coati, no thare would have. tak:n them into that f;• From there circuitsitance , , there is firnng ic.albn to fuppolt that they are French Ibips of war; indeed, there can hardly be a doubt of it.

On my arrival on this fide of Luing, I got on board of the Columbia, of Charlellon, who informed me a French two-decker par Ted him in the form night ; he fulpeeed fhe was part of the French fleet intended to land troops in Ireland. At the fame time met with two boats, who informed me they went to the (hip, who de fired them not to cone near, otherwife they would fink them, They in not allow any perfon to go onboard. ALkZ.

JANUARY 25.-111 C Cotillion Ball at the Upper Rooms, la!! night, was not confidered (though fa flii , nahly) very numeroufly attended. Nearly feven humired individuals notwithdanding, %%ere prefent. The ttoice., :ii individuals, lets, commenced about a quarter before ume..c'elock, and were t6th Great vi vacity purfued for two hours and a quarter, when the lignal was given for the nittlicians to retire, which mandate, as is the cafe on all fuch occalions, was in- Ilantly obeyed. the Upper Rooms la(► night very many of the ilq,anier rcm:::•cd b Great Pulteney ftreet. where a fplei:Liid entertainment was liven by Mrs. ISI.Ci.ou co; ...lid where the ellence of refined mirth gave anima' , ticn to the p,,lithed votaries of the beau monde, until en early hour this morning. Mrs. FosTs& gave an elegant treat to a very fa• fhionable and numerous party, the evening preceding, at her manfion in Catharine-place. Hilatity then, on this occafion, was, perhaps, never more predomi•, nant, and the Goddefs of the light fantallic toe pre ferred her influence until nearly day break. The Libraries of BARATT, G 13151115, and Msv• LER, are generally much viGted in the courfe of the I day. Yeflorday morning, at a quarter pa three o'clock, as W. Lemon, coachman to Mr. Holland, of South ampton-place, was returning home atter having lodged his mailer's carriage in Cumberland-mews, he difentercd a fire in the houfe of Mr. Barr, a tal low chandler and oilman, No. jt, in Adam-lbeer, the corner of Adam's-mews. He immediately knocked at Mr. Barr's door, and alarmed the ncighboutho , d, by a loud cry of tire." In a fhort time Mr. and Mrs. Barr appeared in the balcony of the firit floor, with each an infant in their arms. Several of the neigh bours, who had beers routld from their beds by the noile, were now in the flreet, in the front of Mr. Barr's ihoufe, and havin; procured ladders, they refilled him and Mrs. Barr, with the two children, from their perilous flotation. The bottle was by this time all in a blaze, and a coachman of the name of Pierce, who refided in the ferond floor, was fortunate enough, at the imminent rifque of his life, to relcue his daughter, whom he carried dawn !lairs amidll tire Imoke. He bad fearcely reached the Il,eet in falety with her, when recolleaing that his wife re mained behind, he cr:laimect, in an agony of grief. "Oh ! Betfy, Betfy, Betty !" To retro oa4 h,: came was impofiible, as the flaircafe was completely enve• loped with the flames ; but he lia6 learcely uttered the above words, when one of the windows in 41re two pair of (fairs front room opened, and the unfor tunate woman prefented her felt. XVl;liont a moment's hefitation, file precipitated herlell into the flreet. By the fall, her thigh was broken, her neck difloeated, and the inflantly expired in the pretence of her hid - - band and darrOrter, who were eye-svitn , lies of her melancholy fate. The fire had by this time got pot: leffion . of every -part of the horde, which prefented no thing but one entire blare, and no hope was left that any of the unfortunate inhabitantv that remained in it could poflibly elcape. They confifted of Mr. Adams, a coachman, and his wife, an elderly lady, and her two grandfens, fine lads, and two young men fervants out of places, all of whom, to the number of feven, melancholy to relate, fell via ims to the fury of the flames. None of the bodies have been yet ditco vered, the rtibbifh not having been rum ciently re moved in the caurfe of the day. The Foot Guards quartered at Portman-flreet Barracks, and the Mary. la-bonne Volunteers, attended, and uled every exer tion to prevent the fpreading of the fire, and to pro tdl the property of the neighbourhood. The report of this dreadful accident excited much curiotity yet . - terday in the w eft end of the town, and drew great crowds to the (pot. Among the nubility, who went to view the ruins, were— Their Royal Highneffee the Duke and Duchefs of York, Doke and Ditchers of Athol, Lord Seymour Conway, General and Lady Charlotte Lennox, Marquis and Marchionels of AKreorn, Lord and Lady Cbarlemont, Lady Perth, the Duktof 11-aufort, he. &c. The inhabitants of Portman fquarc were alarmed yefierday, about four o'clock, by a cry of 4. fire," at the houfe of the -Duke of ATMOLL. The fire, however, • was loon difcovered to be confined to one of the chimnies,' and wasfoon extingoinsed, widsoot doing•atiy injury to the peensifes. LAW INTELLIGENCE. I COURT OF KING'S BENCH, J. 1%. 26. THP RING V. THOMAS PRICE. This day Mr. E r tki ne m o ved f or a ru l e to Thew caufe why a new trial thould not he granted in this cafe, the verdict of the jury being contrary to evidence. The charge laid againit the defendant was that he being a perfon kr.own by the name of Thomas Price, had appeared on the haings at Brentford, on the fecund day of the Litt EleCtion for the Ciamtv of Mid dlefex, and had there polled Per Sir Francis Burden, under the name of John Wright, piiirelling a freehold fituated in No. S, Bell-yard, Gray's Inn-lane, which he atilt occupied. The cafe was tried before Lord Ellenborough on the lad day of Sittings after lad term, at Wedmintter, and the Jary found the defen dant Guilty. Mr. Easicia II dated that the material evidence ad duced on the trial, indeed the only evidence which went to fupport the indi.lment to its foil extent, was that of a perfon of the name of Henry Bret!. His tellimony, however, taken even as he himfelf would reprefent it, exhibited loch a train of improbabilities and of extraordinary coincidences, as it would have required the molt unblemilbed charaCter for veracity and integrity, and the moll perfea confiftency in his mode of giving his flatement, to gain Credit with any Jury or with an' man whatever. This perfon fseore that he had known the defendant for i z months, but was not intimate with him, or in the habits of fre quently feeing him. Yet he fwore that he, having no intereft in, or conneCtion with, the Niiddiefex Elec tion, but purely by accident, n,et the defendant in Fore-ftreet, Moor fi. :Ids, on the morning of thefit:fidav of Li'e Election ; law hint again On ti:flew/delay, alto purely by accident, on the hutting; at BeentlOrd, at the Poll-booth of the Holborn Divifion, and there heard him take the oath and hail as John Wright, No. 8, Belbcourt, Gray's Inn-le:ie. Altivnierit he knew this neither to he his name noe p'-ice , t ahode, he al lowed the cireamcrance to p ,l, in ilia , -;.e. Havinz lift the hoftings, aryl Fr,: - ;:te it on the I.:I'. r R,..d 1.: , -ai at Brentford, :re a...ain c; - , -Al to.mee• the aefendant and there beard lii.n, in the prefenre -f about :::ae:,% , pelforts, boalt that he had dote the :lick I'or .iir F. Bordett, and that he wonlei ii , r it a-rain. On tnc,'::,:e evening, he again, dill by accideat, nitt tile defendant at the Tit:cc Mariners, in Foee-Erect, ,loorlieleh. where he far the defendant receive from a pee2on of the name of Taylor a guinel for the vote he had given. On the fourth day of the cleflinn, l i e • .;;;13:1 met the defendant, in company with Tayleoa at I the door of the Uinta! tavern, in Moargate, and heard the Defendant inlOrm Tay:or that he was ad- , vertiled for polling for Sir F. L. and that he mud get him .mfmcy from the Gentlemen of the Com mittee to tat:e him out cf . town. Again on the Sa turday, or fixth day of the eled:an, he met thc De fendant in the fame piat.e. Taylor came up, and they went together, Brett accompanying them, to a public houfc, rhere T. gave the Defendant 21. to carry him out of town. He once more, dill by ac cident, met the Defendant in the e fame neighbour hood, on the Wednefday following, being the ni•ok day of the Eleniun. Taylor again came up, laid the Defendant Mould have been nut of town, and gave him another one pound note. Thus had Brett in no repel a confidential fiend, or even an inti mate acquaintance of the Defendant, and, according to his own account, in no refpecEl employed or in terefled in the Middlefex cleCtion, but a poor jour neyman weaver, who ought to have been attending his own bufinefs, been prefent, if his dory could at all be believed, while the Defendant, under a name which he knew not to be his, was guilty of the mull grols and wilful perjury. Leaving the Huflingc, of all the places in the world where he might meet with refrethment, he feleCted a bottle where this fame De fendant again made his appearance, and in the pre tence of twenty other pertons faulted of his own in famy. This was a coincidence rather of an extraor dinary kind, and nut exaCtly within the common range of human occurrences ; but the remainder of the dory was of a (fill more extraordinary, and even miraculous nature. For, as this perfon had done witnetied, and being confcious of the beginning of this nefarious tranfaftion, to be was deftined to ap• pear at the critical moment in every after nage of the loninefs ; and, as if intlinetively, or-by fpecial ap poimment, to hear the Defendant confers his guilt, fee hint receive the 'Updated reward, acquaint hi, employer that his crime had been deteeted, that he WAS advertifed and mutt conceal hiinfelf, and on two different occafions fee him receive motley to .ena ble him to go to the country to &Ape dilcovery. All this Mr. Ertkine admitted was within the bounds of potlibility, and therefore, if a Jury were war ranted in having, or could have, implicit confidence in the integrity and veracity of flue witnefs, they might give effeCt to his tcilimony. On the crofs-exa mination of this witnefs, however, circumflances had occurred which completely deprived him of ail claim to credit. He had been guilty of the mod dire& -and felt-evident perjury ; not incautioufly, or in conk . - quence of being taken by Itirpgife, but advifedly, and %%jilt more than ordinary time to recolleit himfelf.— In the condi of crofs-e eat - Hitting the witnefs, the Learned COunfel oblerved that he held clofely in his hand a paper, which when fird called on, he retitled to produce, arid did lo I iii.ily saidi relliaance.— When examined, it WA% f',101.: to concern the cafe in quedion, being a memorandum, in two places, pur porting that, " 7 bona! Price had on the fe:o,oi day !Me A 14. , ,,,,, p,,q,,1 at 11, 114 , 0 n Diviinn, an yol:n IY",; : ;11t, No. ti, it,ll-,- , ,m; t, Way': inn-:ane." When examined Brett fleaufailly maintained that both parts of the memorandum were in Ili; hand writing ; that he wrote them on the hudings ; that they WCTC written at one time, and with the fame ink. In every one of there refixes it was obvious, from infpeftion of the paper itfelf, and particularly from examining a copy of it written by Brett in Court, that he had deviated from the troth. infpeCtion of the memorandum was alone fuaicient to thew that it was written in different hands, at different times, and with a paler and darker kind of ink. One part of it was written in a bufitiefs hand, and was properly fpelt ; the other part was miferably written, and entirely mil-fpelt. From there citcumttances, Mr. ERSKINE contend ed, it was impollible to give the molt diftant credit to any part of -Brat tefiimuny. Indeed, the learn ed Lord who tried the cafe expreffed that opinion in his charge to the Jury. Laying his tellimony there fore out of the ciustlion, the only other evidence which went to afied the Defendant as having at all pc , ;k3 at that elation was, aat of 2 perfon 0: came of join Denbigh, who furore that he law Defendant on the huttings, with the book in his has?, as in the ad of voting, but that he did not hear what paired, or by what name he rl!ed. Now, Mr. F.rikine maintained, that to corviCt a perfon of the crime of prjury, Two witoctres were neeeffary.-- Thiowin!, It rell's teftimuny, however, out cf the quef tion, there was not the finalleft evidence, except that of Dentist:, that the Defendant had been at the huf• tings, or in any fituation which could induce even a fuji,ici cn that he had at all voted at the eleCtion. But, ftippoting the cridence Dent I, to the extent it wtiit, to be of itfelf fulficient, to v..liat did it amount? That the Defendant had voted as John Wright, No. 8, Bell', -court, Gray's Inn-lane ? By no means. But that he was fern with the bock in his hand, from which it was prefuniable that he might have polled. It was, however, equally to be relearned, that his vote might have been objected to, and that he might have quitted the hustings without committing the crime which, fuppofing him not to be a Freeholder, the taking of the oath would nectiftrily convey.— Allowing, however, to Denbigh's terlimony its full weight, and fuppofing that the Defendant did aflu. ally poll as a Freeholder, that was nut sufficient to convict him of the crime charged in the indiitmenr. The Defendant might be a bad perfon, and might have polled at that elation without having a free hold ; but to conviet him of the crime charged in the indictment, it mull be fatisfattorily made out, that he had polled as john Ito. 8, Bell court, Gray's ,nn-lanr, of which, laying afide the teftimony of Brett, there was no evidence wha!ever. Lord ELLENBOROUGH.—." On the evidence of Denbigh, it appears the Defendant laid,' I am afraid I be pulled for my bad vote.' There is no quel tiem if the man committed perjury ; the only doubt is, if he committed the particular aft of perjury, at the time, and under the circumftances charged in the indian.elit.—Take a Rale to thew caufe." :!ILITART CTFICE.R,s' PAT. Su-A paragraph having lately appeared in all the daiiy papers, confidently Rating, that a board of Gener::_ Offieers had hem orde:ed to alfernhle, on the ruhit a- of inereafe vf pay to the officers of the army ; and that the feveral rates had been aaually fixed, you may eafily conceive what fenfations of joy fuck intell•gence created Otroughout every rank of thepro• leffion, from the eungn to the lieutenant-colonel; the I,••,:er ranks indulging the fond hopes of being loon refetred trom the constant profped that flood before them of imprifonment, and the want of common necclaries of lite ; and the field officers, that they might be placed a little above their prefent fitnation of mere exitt:cce. • The chagrin and deep difappointment that has fuccesdcd the developemenr rf lo cruel a Ulion can be very well imagined, and mutt make every well wither to his country rceret, that that profettion which you, Sir, lo juttly think, in the prefent political (late of Eur pe (but particularly of Great Briain), ought to be elevated over every other clafs of men in the public opinion, thould have remained fo long and meanly remunerated, as to be abfolutely defpited by common tradcfmen for their abjeti (late of poverty ! Is this a fituation, Sir, for the officers of the army to be permitted to remain in, at a period when every thing that is dear to Britons is likely to depend upon tile gallant exertions of the regular force ? In the year r 797, the pay of the private foldiers was not only doubled, but they have had, ever fence, the very great additional benefit of being Cipplied with their provitions of animal food and bread, at the low fixed price of fixpence and three half pence per pound,,fhould thole articles ever have rifen to ten times that fum ; fo that, in fail, the private fol. diers pay has become more than three-fold within fix years, when that of the officers has remained in fists quo for upwards of fixty, with the exception of one poor thilling per day to the fubalterns ; what might, have caufed this fudden effort of unbouded attentios and comfort to the foldier, without extending any part to the officers, I (hall not attempt to offer an opinion on ; but, it is a flubborn fat, that a common mechanic enjoys a greater degree of pecuniary inde pendence than the fubalterns, or even captains of the army, and, that an officer. when at lilt arrived at the rank of major or lieutenant-colonel, after long and, perhaps, kvete fervice, has merely fullicient to kccp the external appearance of poverty from his door, without potieffing enough to furnifn ni:n with ordinary erjoysnents within the reach of his gracer or taylor. Their circumhances have been frill farther circumfcribed, in proportion to their rank, by the force of an indirect order, which has, for there two or three WI years, obliged the field °Picas tr be con handy mounted, and of centric put to the expence keeping, at leatt, one if not two horf,:s, without any allowance whatever to cover this enormous expence this reduces a field officet's pay confidv.ably below that of a captain. This hardlhip has been more se verely felt !ince the period that the field officers com panies were taken from them, by which they not only 101 l a confiderable contingency, but likewife, the Eeld allowances which were attached to compa , lie, ; As WI altogether has decreafed the field officer's emolument at lealt lixty pounds per annum ; and unfortunate's-, jut( at the time that he was made to pay fire per ccat. income tax. 1:y giving this letter a place in your Paper, you wili very much oblige an old friend to tli , ! army in Lc neral, with three lons at prefent in the profctlion.
