The Amazon,Coswe NA/I, was well off the Ifland of St. Thomas's, with her full complement of negroes on board, all in perfee health, the 17th June. in company with two of his Majetly's 'hips bound to the Weil Indies, and with whom the in tended to keep company. ' We hear from Bombay, that the Honourable Company's cruiser, the FLY, has arrived at that Prefidency from Goa, which place the left the lat ter end of February. The FLY, during her voy age. was fortunate enough to eflablith a point of importance to Indian Navigation. Between the outer and inner works in Carwar Bay, there is a paffage or channel from South to North, perfectly tree from danger, the bottom being fine holding ground, with regular feundings of from five to feren fathoms. The FLY alto afcertained that the outer works afford perfect fecurity to Blips within them from the S. W. monfoon, which is confidered a point of the firtt colifequence to our (hips in thefe parts. A letter from the coca of Sumatra informs us, that the Straghts of Macatfar are infefled with a number of daring pirates, who arc boll enough to attack (hips. When purfued, they run in More. and thus elude their purfuers. We hear from Prince of Wales's Manch that a check will be put to thefe depredators. who have been profcribed by the King of Q 2 MY M.ARRIII Little done at Mark-lane this day. Plenty of Wheat in the market, which would have been parted with at prices inferior to lail market day, if any one would have bought; but the buyers are fo confident of a confiderable fall that they keep off. Oats had a britk fide at from is. to 2S. cheaper.—All kinds of Grain dull in fale, and fall ing. No effort will be able to keep up the prices. Yetlerday the LORD MAYOR was waited on at the Manfion-houfe by the Mailer and Wardens of the Bakers' Company to fet the Atitze of Bread, and it appearing by the Mealweighers' report. that Wheat and Flour had fallen veryconfiderably fince their laff reports, his Lordlhip ordered the Bread to be lowered four Aflizes, or Bd. in the Peck Loat, which will take place to-morrow ; the Qtlartern Loaf will then be fold for is. old. Wheaten, and ltd. Houfehold. The Woodmen of Arden met nn Monday fe'n night at Packington, inWarwicklhire, Lord AYLES. FORD'S feat, to celebrate their annual Grand Gala. A very fkilful competition took place at the grand target. C. REP INGTON, Efq. obtained the gold medal, as fira gold (hot ; and THOMAS PALM rR, Efq. the filver medal, as fecond gold (hot. The latter Gentleman was silo declared Captain of Numbers. On Wednefday the Silver Arrow was (hot for at the difiance of 180 yards, and won by Mr. FETH ER srox.—The Silver Bugle was won tai Friday, at the diltance of 200 yards, 44) THOMAS PALMER, Efq.—ln the Lottery for the Ladies, Mifs BR EE, of Colefhill, drew the Gold Arrow, and Mrs. CARTER, daughter of the Laird of the Me of Arran, drew the Gold Bugle. The Meetiog was very brilliant and numerous. Balls were given at the Foreft Hall on Wednefday and Friday evenings. Yefterday the Cockney Sportfmen rallied out to their annual amufement, and, according to cuf tom, made a great deal of fport. We have not heard of any thing being killed, although feveral thumbs and fingers have been found in the Roads. A goofe received a defperate wound upon Stock well Common, and the fparrows were much alarm ed about the three-mile Hone. Upon the North fide of the Metropolis the firing was tremendous, and feveral bulldogs and mailiffs were wounded, not being (launch to the heel. Happily we do not hear of any two-legged creatures, man or bird, being killed by any accident. Indeed the linnets, canaries, and parrots, had all been carefully re moved from the windows. In the war of 1756, Marfhal BROGLIO was one day obferving, with great attention, the pofitions of the enemy's army. At that moment, one of his Aides-de-Camp, a very gallant officer, came to afk his orders. " Go to the Devil!" faid the Mar tha], impatient of the interruption. The next mo ment, however, he conlidered the impropriety of the language, and with happy delicacy cried, " Come back! you arc brave enough to go, but I cannot now fpare you for that fervice." Yerterday morning John Pearce was executed on board the PUISSANT, at Spithead, purfuant to his lenience, for being particularly active in affirt ing in the murder of the officers of the HERMION E, and carrying her into La Guira. He behaved with great penitence and refignation. Robert Hignett, of Milton, in the county of Cherler ' ofr:rs two guineas for the apprehenfion of his wife, Elizabeth, a beautiful young woman, aged 25, who has lately eloped with Lan y M.Bride, an Iri(hman, 6o years of age, five feet high, jaw locked, deeply pitted with the fmall pox, dreffed in a failor's jacket, and a pair of old black breeches. A letter from Aberdeen, dated Augull 26, lays, " On Wednefday we had a tremendous (form of thunder and lightning, attended with very heavy (bowers of ram. It began in the morning at Foudland, and taking a fouth-eaft courfe, reached this place in the afternoon. Many of the peals were louder and longer than any ever remembered in this country. In the evening, one Forbes, a Wright in Ellon, travelling towards Newburgh, was killed by the lightning. His Ihirt was burned to tinder, part of his watchca'e melted, and his body greatly disfigured. He is much regretted, as a worthy ingenious man.—At Micklefolla, in the Garioch, the lightning came through the roof of a houfe into the rooms, and broke fome articles of furniture, but fortunately no perthn wis there at the time. In the fame neighbourhood a houfe was killed by it." About eleven o'clock on Friday morning a ter rible fire broke out in the warehoufe, in Matthew fireet, Liverpool, which contained the oil ufed for the public lamps in that town, under the manage ment of Mr. ALDER SON, the Contractor, and for feveral hours the flames raged with afionithing fu ry, infomuch as to endanger their communicating with very valuable property nearly contiguous, both in buildings and merchandize belonging to Medi& Byaoras and to Mellis. DOWNIVARIM and BULLIN, who have each of them a fugar houfc and large warehoufes in the neighbourhood, as well as to the more immediately adjoining houfes; but by the exertions of the Mayor and Magill rates, and other rcfpeaable Merchants and Inhabitants who attended, andparticularly by the very fpirited manner in which the Officers and Privates of the Regiment of :he Mes, now flationcd there, tinder the command of Lord Macoott•zo, and the Royal Cherhirr, under Lord GREY, Majors LEIGH and BUCK WOR TIE, who were prefent during the whole of the time, the fire was got uader and prevented front doing any more material milkluet than by deflrrying the warchoufe and its contents. The large engines played with a ftonilhing circa when properly lupplied with water from the pipes of the Liverpool Corporation Water Works, which, on this oceation, were found to he of the greater] poaible tile; and the foldierv, from their own zeal and the encouragement of their officers and the gentlemen prefent, (hewed themfelves worthy the charters of good citizens,as well as good foldir in protecting the property of the fl DG'BLIN, dUCUST 27. The Cattle Fair at Donnybrook has h....en exor bitantly dear ; rnikh cows have been fold Iron• c to twenty guineas; and horfes of figure brought any price the owners were plea Ced to As, in con leguence of the great prolped of plenty in artides of forage. On the night of Wednerday, the rsoth ink. above twelve men, armed with mulkets and pitioli, at tacked the bottle of Mr. Godfrey Green, at Clog. nadrim, near Abington, county Limerick ; the robbers were, however, prevented from etfe3ing their purpofe by the Ipirited exertions of Mr. Green's fon, who cut at them with a 'hanger as they attempted entering the windows, com e ,if whom mull have been badly wounded; they fired three [hots Imo the }mule before their retreat, hap pily without doing any injury.

Sunday two children were interred, belonging to a farmer of the name of Veale, near Kilmaftho mas—the one about tour, and the other about eight years old. It is melancholy to add, there being hit by a mad greyhound was the cattle of their death. A pig, an boric, and an heifer, that had been bit by this animal, were•alfo affeeted with the hydrophobia, and put to death by their owners. Su•tday a young man, while bathing at Kama cow, was unfortnnately drowned, having got be yond his depth—his bo.:y was found fhortly after, but too late, however, for hopes of recovery to be entertained. Aontisr 29.—Thurfday evening, Capt.

He relates that in the foreign countries above mentioned, whore fervice he has been in, he was takcn up as a fufpicious charafter, and calls himfelf a Citizen of the World, and a Child of Iffisfortior ; he lays he was a (port time at the Temple. There were found upon him feveral letters, tome written in a difguifed Ilile, and with fiaitious fuperferip tions, which probably will lead to a knowledge whether he is fuch a perfhn as above deferibed by himfelf, and how he has been able to fupport his adventurous career. He was going to vifit his father in Kerry, he fays, when he was arretled by three officers of the 46th regiment, who had been in Minorca, and recolleaed him. About a fort night ago, it feems, he was in London. Yefladay he was lodged in the Tower at the Callle.
