They came to this country in July 1799, ana were difpatched for India in November fol lowing. We learn from Bombay that his Majefly's chip the VICTORIOUS failed from Point de Galle on the 7th of April. The SUTFOLK and CENTURION were at Mangalore on the 17th ditto waiting for the Im re E Pia, at which place the Vic roaious was fhort ly exptacd. A French brig privateer, which has for Tome time pail been cruizing off dafulipatam, has been captured by a vefrel belonging to the Bombay Ma. rine. This privateer has been very fuccefsful in her cruizcs, and had captured three veffels and font them to the Mauritius, one of which was an Arab, and reported to be richly laden, configned to Mufcat. AL:vice has been received of the capture of two French privateers, of 24 guns each, in the Ea( named l'Uni, and Clariffe : the former by the ARP oo A wr, 0174 guns, Captain OSBORN ; and the latter by the LEOPARD, of so guns, Rear-Ad miral BLANKET. L'Uni had previous to her be ing taken captured the Helen, SyswAav, from Madras to China. Th! Caledonia, CtriteY, from Jamaicato Lon don, is taken and carried into Calais. It is thought that there is no truth in the report of the THUNDIR bomb having been carried into an enemy's port by her crew. A naval officer, who has lately returned from Gibraltar, Rates, that at the time of his leaving that place, the Tx u NDE was lying there in a !late totally unfit for fea. Wednefday morning, about two o'clock,a heavy gale of wind fprung from the North-call, with vivid flalles of lightning. Several veils in the Pool ftalted from their moorings; after which fucceeded raia and fleet, which ended in a heavy fall of fnow. Ditnifh Government is ufing every exertion to have a refpedahle naval force fiady for fea by the neat fpring. Eight fail of the line, a frigate, and two cutters, are already equipped ; and it is rcportrd that t 4 more fhips of war of different rates %. ill be fpredily put in commiffion. E‘t rad of a letter from Lieutenant HEALY, of the NIGER frigate, to an eminent banktr in Cork : The Barcelona tranfadion you have perceived, is a good deal abufcd by the manifefto of his Ca tholic Majeßy's Minifter. The whole declaration, I can affure You, upon my word, is, for the moll part, vilely talfe • a malicious mifreprefentation to palliate the moil barefaced cowardice and unparal leled neglect of duty that ever difgraced a country or a people. The Swedifh veffel was of no aifift ance to us whatfoever,we examined her papersootd that was all the intercourfc we had with her.— There is one comfort, however, I troll, in referve, and that is, whenever the Spanifh Captain is brought to trial, his difgrace will be inevitable—it is pretty clear he muff be fhot, as he threw him felt, with two or three officer;, while the crew Rill deEnded the veffel, from the cabin windows into a boat which lay under the Rern ; and to avoid the guillotine, has given rife to the above report." Saturday a Court-Martial was held on board the GLADIATOR, in Portfmouth harbour, on Afrx andcr Moody and Job* feamen, belonging to the RAMILIe. floop for defertion.—The charge being proved, they Were feotenced to reteivo too lathes ea* and forfcit all their pap TliE *ROE OF WALT ACE. BY THOMAS CAMPBELL, Z.SQ.:. • AI:11110a OF " Tilt F1.r.15131.:.$ OF HOPE." They lighted a taper at the dead .., pigl.t, And charmed" their hull, fl H!, ; But her Brow and her Bofoni were damp v.:,11 alfright— kl Eye was all &eiders and dim ! And the Lady of Elo aasr.t e wept for her Lord, When a Death-watch beat in her lonely room, When her Curtain had Ihuok of its own accord, And the Raven had flapp'd at her Window-board— To tell of her Warrior's doom! " Now, fing ye the Death-tong, and loudly rimy " For the Soul of my Knight fo dear; " And call me a Widow this wretched day, " Since the warning of GOD is here! • For a Night-mare rides on my Rrangled Beep:-- " The I.ord of my Bofom is doom'd to die ; " His valorous Heart they have wounded deep; " And the blood-red tears Shall his Country weep " For WALLACE of Elderffie !" Yet knew not his Country that ominous hour, Ere the loud Matin Bell was rung, That a Trumpet of Death on an Englilb tower Had the Dirge cf her Champion rung! When his dungeon-light look's' dim and red. On the high-born blood of a Martyr fiain, No Anthem was lung at his holy death-bed; No weeping there was when his Bofom bkd— And his Heart was rent in twain ! Ob, it was not thus when his Oaken Spear Was true to that Knight forlorn, And bolls of a thoufand were leatter'd, like Deer At the Matt of the Hunter's Horn; When he tirade on the wreck of each well-fought field Wt.!' the yellow-haied Chiefs of his native Land; For kit Lance was not illiver'd on helmet or Mild— And the Sword that firma fit for Archangel to wild Was light in his terrible hand! Yet bleeding and bound, thi7 the WALLAC X Wight For his long Wed Country die, The Bugle ne'er rung to a braver Knight Than WILLIAM of Elderllie! But the day of his glory than never depart ; His head unentomb'd mail with glory be pained; From its bloodArearning altar his Spirit thall Ran ; The the Raven has fed on his mouldering Hmt, • nobler was never cmlsalm%l ! Late 'aft night Mr. Ross, one of his Majefty's Meffengers, left town, charged with Government difpatches to Lord MI NTO, Amhafrader at the Court of Vienna ; they arc, it is faid, of great im portance, as the courier was to take his palrage from Yarmouth in a fall failing frigate. The Imperial Parliament pofitively meets, for the difpatch cf butinefs, on the sad infiant.—See the Proclamation. A Proclamation for a General Fait, on the r ath of nest month in Scotland, and the 13th in Eng land and Ireland, is about to be immediately ilrued. Colonel ERSKINE, of the 15th dragoons, is ap• pointed Aid-de-Camp to the KING, and he is shortly to be married to Lady LOUISA PAGET, dayAhter of the Earl of Us IDG r. WALTPR SPENCER STANHOPE, Efq. has been ananimoully elefted Member of Parliament for the borough of Cockermouth, in the room of the late EDWARD BURROW, Efq. Preparations are making at Chatfwortb, in Der byfbire, for the marriage of Lord MORPETH with Lady GEORGIAN A CAVENDISH. The ceremony, it is reported, will take place on the 15th inflant. The Earl and Countefs of BEssoßouGH are at prefent at Chatfworth. Lord and Lady HOL LAND, fince the death of their child, refide in Lord BESSOROUG H'S honfe in Cavendifil-fquare. . . An impprtant dircovery has juil i;zen made by our almanac calculators, though too late for their publithed works. The fourth of jaw, which has fo long been dear to the loyalty of our country men, Is a feflival no more. His MAJESTY was born on the 24th of May, 1738, and completes his fixty-third year on the JO of June, 18oi. Whether the Court will think proper to notice this alteration, we know not, but it is required by con fifiency and accuracy. A queftion new arifes, whether the Dukes of GRAFTON, RUTLAND, BE•UPORT, RICHMOND, Sr. ALBAN'3, and Lord SOUTHAMPTON, are to pre ferve the armorial flew-de•&, now they arc ex punged from the royal fhield ? A new Striae is to be built at Brighton. The Duke of MARLBOROUGH, and others, patronife the undertaking. THE THEATRES.--The g.t. of SHAKESPEARE and of CuMBERLAND were laft night prefented, the former at Covent-Garden, and the latter at Drury lane. Both had their attradtion and their merits; and BANHISTAR, in Sbeva, at one houfe gained no lets applaufe than did Coors , in *loci, at the other. _ - - The remains of the late Mrs. Ronson were interred in a private manner, on Wednefday, at Old Windfor. Lord DERBY has given over hunting for the prefent feafon, with a view of inducing the num bet* of Gentlemen who hunt with his hounds to decreafe the confumption of oats which is ufually given to their horfes during the feafon. It is cal culated that two hundred hunters are conftantly kept through the winter, at Croydon and the neighbourhood. By an account lately tranfmitted to the Board of Admiralty from Dr. TROTTILR, 4 phyfician of emience ' in his Majefty's Navy, and (ince publithed by that Gentleman in the London Medical and Phytical Journal, it appears from repeated trials made under the Doetor s immediate dircaion, that the Sea Scurry is now found to yield complocly and readily to the effects of the Concrete or Cryf talifed Lemon Juiec, as prepared by Mr. Cox w s L L, of.Temple-Bar. In addition to this, a further account of its good effects has jolt been forwarded to the Board of Admiralty, from a report of the Surgeon of one of the !hips in the fquadion of Rcar•Admiral the Hon.

In the Monikar of the 2ctli December. there is a letter from a French merchant who bad been f nt by General Ii.LERTR frcm Eyyri , hi trier !o procure intelligene.: of w!lat was n.itin! , in Franco. This merchant paired for a Proffian,..u.d aft,' i;•- veral peregrinations, lie arrived at Coini,:ntii.t,ple, where he fasts he gct himfelf ; .ntro(litccd anion-; the corps diploniatique. One paffage of the letter is curious : I loon difeoveteil, i;ivs he, the ani. many which exitts between Lord Eecra and the former Charge d'Affaires, SPENCER SMITH. I cultivated the acquaintance of the latter as much as potlible, the former being a man of no talent.. —On the contrary, SMITH is a perfon of pene tration, addrefs, and of great ambition. I pre tended to be indebted for my efcape from Egypt to his brother, the Commodore, whofe exploits I extolled fo highly that SPENCER thought he could not do lets than give me a friendly reception. —The means I employed to gain his confidence arc too long to he explained ; but in a few days, enraged to fee the Convention concluded by his brother, broken, be at lafi, to relieve his choler, told me that the opportunity of a grand firoke of policy had been 101 l ; that as foon as the evacua tion of Egypt fhould have taken place, the Englifh troops were to have taken poffellion of Alexandria, Rofetta, Damietta, and Suez, and formed great commercial ellablifhments." The merchant then Pays that he had .''ant intelligence of this to Egypt, to thew the neceffity keeping poffetlion of that colony. On Saturday er,nl.7, a molt fcrious difturbance took place in Hull market, or: mating in a very trig ial caufe. An old woman having purchafed tome potawes,liaving occafion for change, the ven der gave her a bad alining, which (he &el not at ficti obferve. She had not left the Itall long be ft,re the difeoversd the impofition, when fit: return ed to die man, who refuted to eNclialige the flai ling. The confufion caufed by the altercation prc duced an immenfe crowd, who immediately &at &red. the fellow's potatoes, and demoliffied his cart. This occatictiled a general alarm amohg the butchers, &c. who (hut up their (hops; and thofe who had nails departed with their meat.— The mob, enraged at this, tore up fume of the Halls, and then proceeded to a flour mill on the Holdernels Turnpike, which they gutted in a very Ilion time, and entirely wafted a quantity of flour. The aaivity of the Magiftratcs was very great : they called out the Eaft Yotk militia, and read the riot aft ; when, by their prompt exertions, peace was rettored, and a few of the molt attive rioters taken. The Caithnefs Highlanders are ordered to march from WateriOrd for Ferrnoy, &c.—The Ent& troops marched ince Waterford from Cork, to re main there till further orders.—The &it divifcn of the Kilkenny militia has marched for Dungar, , van; the remainder of that regiment is to be qual. tered in other places in the County of Waterfor.'. On the 22d ult. Lieutenant Twat! som and eight of the Rathdrum cavalry, difcovered at Call tlekevan, near Rathdrum, three of Dwyer's afre dates concealed in a cavity under a clump of turf, in an out-honfe, from whence they rufhed on the Lieutenant andone of the troop; (the rest being difperfed into other parts adja(ent on the fearch) on the inftant they fired on Mr.Tord LIN SON and his companion, but without effe&, and then with pre cipitancy ran for the open country, which they reached, by reafon of the leattered Rate of the troop. The difchargc of mulketry, however, having col leted them, a purfuit began, during which the ' purfued kept up a !harp fire, being well armed and provided with ammunition, and priming and loading with furprifing alacrity ; their knowledge of the country too gave them an advantage, as they kept the hogs and heights, which the yeom en perceiving, Come difmounting,diCudged them from their flrong holds, and after a time, 'Ancircw 'lliu mas was killed, and John Byrne houfed and taLn. John Harman ended a moll mitaculotis eiCape : being now left alone, he betook liimfclf to a conflant flight, dirc.ling his courfe towards the Seven Churches.
