STATE or THE NAVIES OF TH E NORTHERN POWERS. The Danilh navy at prefent confifts of twenty three lhips of the line, one or two of which are un fit for fervice, and molt of them in bad order.— They have fourteen frigates and cutter brigs, from zo to 4o guns ; feventccn gun boats, of 24 guns each, together with guard (hips, &c. The fleet, however, is not adequately manned. Sweden has eighteen (hips of the line, fourteen frigates, floops, &c. feventy-four gallies, and flat bottomed, betides gun-boats. It appears from the lateft accounts, that the I% hole navy of Ruflia confifts of 82 fail of the line, betides near forty frigates, exclufive of galleys and other• fmall craft. Several of the (hips of the linc, however, are unfit for fervice. Of the above there are at Cronftadt, Revel, Peterffittrgh and Archangel, forty-feven fail of the line. The whole of the Ruffian (hips, however, are badly manned and officered. Notwithftanding that Ruffia pro duces all kinds of naval [bares, the velfels arc ex tremely ill equipped. To remedy the want of officers, an academy has been inflituted at Cronitadt, where three hundred and tiny young Noblemen and Gentlemen are in• ftruled in all the fciences fuitable to their protec tion, and whence they are to be promoted to !hips. It has been officially intimated to the LORD Patovosr of Edinburgh, that the ALEcro fire flip having been fent in leaky from the North Sea fleet, it had been found neceffary to bring her into Leith harbour for the purpofe of having her leaks flop ped, before the can proceed to join the fleet ; but that every flore, in any relpea conneaed with het equipment as a fire fhip,has been landed,and fafely lodged in the Battery, and that the will come into the harbour in the fame fituation with any other of his Majelly's (loops of war. A fleet of homeward bound veXels were to fail from Demerara for England, about the beginning of the laft month. A privateer belonging to London, two Liver pool (hips, and two Danes, were ls(, during a late form, at the Wand of St. Michael's; the crews were raved. WHITBY; Antic s.—On the at inii. at two in the morning, an armed brig fell in with a large lugger privateer, of 18 guns, about ten miles north from this place, to which the gave chace ; loon after the firing commenced the Eaots Revenue cutter hove in fight and joined in the chace, which continued until eleven A. M. when it falling little wind the privateer made his efcape by ufing his (weeps ; this privateer has done much mifchief on the North Coalt, and lately cut a velfel out of Hartley Roads.—This d.ty failed the Pet.rse gun brig for Leith. It is reported that the India Company, by their late overland difpatch, received advice that the Koota Rajah, in attempting to join the Rajah of Jeypoore, with a numerous body of troops, and fevei al camels laden with military (!ores, &c. had been intercepted by the Mahrattas, under the command of Lucka Baboo, and defeated with great flaughter, and the lofs of all their Rotes and treasure. GOWEILDUNT SING, a Seik Chieftain, of great enterprife, who rendered himfelf diftingnithed in the Rohilla war, has colleted an army, and en tered the province of Boodana, belonging to the Mahrattas, which he has plundered, and laid the adjacent country under contributions. The Mali rattas are reported to have folicited the affirtance of the Englifh to expel the marauders. Two flares were lately executed at St. Helena for having murdered two men, and wounded fe veral others, in the frantic and diabolical pratice of what is termed by thole people, running a muck. There infatuated wretches, imprefTed with revenge for real or fuppofed injuries, by the ufe of thong liquors work the paflions to a Rate of frenzy, when armed with a creafe or dagger, they run through the molt frequented places, (tabbing, indifcrimi nately, all they meet. This practice was formerly frequent at St. Helena (as it now is at Sumatra), but the inflance in quettion is the only one that has occurred for many years. The late war in Madagafcar was extremely fan guinary—neither party gave quarter; the conflia laßed fome months, and proved fatal to feveral thoufand perfons. A numerous alTemblage of 'pirates has been formed on the S. E. coaft of Madagafcar, which has been confiderably tlrengthened by the difaf fated perfons who, during the recent commotion:, have been expeacd from the interior; they have taken feveral Malay traders; and fome Chips from the Cape.

The Ql./EEN, and Princefres AUGUSTA, ELIZA BETH, MARY, SOPHIA, and AM E!.:.1, accompa• nied by the Countcfs of HARCOUR r, and Lady CHARLOTTE BELLAS ESE, took an airing on Satur day, to Pitney. Their NIAJ ESTI I's did not yeßerday attend Di vine Service, at the Chapel Royal. The KING has been plcaled to appoint JOHN PALMER CULLEN, Ei q. to be Bath King at Arms. The Swedifh Ambaffirdor, on Friday, arrived at Yarmouth, on his retinm to Stockholm. Mr. MORA N DE arrived ycflerday at noon at Lord linwicEseuity's Office, with dispatches from Mr. ART If UR PAGET, Milliner at the Court of Florence. The lion. Colonel HO►E arrived in Town on Saturday from the Mediterranean. The intelli gence he has brought has not tranfpired. Mr. HIGGINs, the Mellinger, left Town on Sa ' turday morning, with Government Difpatchcs to the Court of Berlin, being the remit of the Coun cil held on Friday, at Lord HAWK E s UR Y'S Office. The infant fon and heir of the Earl of Goll.o - was on Thurfday chriftened by the name of FREDERIC. The Sponfors were, the Marquis of BUTE and the Bilhop of WINCHESTER. The arrangements for affording a regular al lowance to the Colonels of regiments, in lieu of perquithes from cloathing, &c. have at length been determined. The emoluments of a regiment in the Eaft or Well Indies, was wont, in fume inftan ces, to be confiderable, although not near com plete in point of numbers ; the full complement of cloathing was drawn for, added to which, in thofe climates, infinitely refs cloathing was required. We do not know the amount of the compenfation. The 32d regiment on Thurfday arrived at Brif tol, and on Friday embarked for Ireland. This rcgi. ment was recruited with boys, but they have been taken away, and the corps is to be completed by volunteers from the Fencible Regiments in Ireland. The nth regiment of foot, un.ler the com mand of Lieutenant-Colonel BYNC, na.trchcd into Salilbury, at ten o'clock yellerday morning.— This circumflance created fume furprife, as it is not ufual for troops to march on a Sunday, unlefs on particular occafions. The diautbances in the Welt of England, it is laid, have induced Go vernment to reinforce the troops in that (patter with this regiment, which marched from Win. chefter on Saturday morning in an hour after they received their route, and with that order and re gularity for which this Corps has been always lo much diftingui(hed. The French army deflined to invade Portugal, has commenced its march, and will he joined by the Spanifh army on the Portuguese frontiers.— A cartel which is arrived at Plymouth from Morlaix, reports that the French army amounts to 45,000 men. On Thurfday Taft, while Strangers were exclud ed from the Houfe of Commons on account of the Ballot fora Committee of Secrecy, we underhand that the CHANCELLOR of the E xc H EVER limed to the Houk, that he had received reprefentations from various quarters agaieft the propoled Tax on Printed Linens ; that in force of the reafons which had been offered againft it, he could not acquicfcc, but that confidering the prefent (late of that branch of our trade, he thould not think himfelf juflitied in perfilling in it. The Order for receiving the Report of the Bill was thereupon difchargcd.

Tuefday. 59 NV,thlerda7, 20 REMARKABLE FECUNDITY.—A few days flute a poll-ewe, belonging to Mr. Jams s Guy, of Slicip wyke, yenned lix lambs, four of which loon after died, but the other two are now living, and in a thriving Rate, with their dam. A ludicrous eircumflance lately occitred at the Theatre at Market-Drayton, Shropthire.—Tlie company were performing Pizarro, when, during the hymn to the Sun, the lights being placed tco dole to the tranfparency fcene of that luminary, it unfortunately took tire. The Manager, who was officiating as High Prieft, 'JO after tinging the words—" 0 Power Supreme"—obferved the ant in the utmoft contlernation, called out to the Itage-keeper.—" The Sun': oti then proceeding with the hymn,—" 0 Power Su preme !—D— your ey.-t, put out te Sax, IMy." The Sun, however, continued to blaze, and the manager to ling and fwear ; till the audience, not withflanding their fears, were convulied with laughter ; the fire in the Sun being, however, es tingnifhcd, the play proceeded. On the loth ult. an inquitition was taken at Cholfey before Mr. Hedges, one of his Majdly's Coroners for Berk(hire, on view of the body of the Rev. Thomas Price, Curate of Ililey, who left his houfe in a deranged Rate of mind and had not been heard of for upwards of feven weeks previous to the 9th ilia. when he was found drowned in the Thames in Cholfey parith.—And on the 19th intl. another inquifition was taken by the fame Coroner at North Moreton on view of the bad? of Jofeph Wicks, a poor man, who was found drowned in a ditch in that parith. No account could be given of the manner in which either of the misfortunes happened, and therefore the Jurors in each cafe returned a verdift, that the deerajed was found drown ' ed, lot how it al not appear. rn L IND. IMMEIN, APRIL 2. Loyd CLo%cußtty arrived in town ha week icon' England, to the wear joy of his tenantry and !h.: p4 , or on his climes. Ilk Lordlints appears in good h:ath and 11.)irits, notwithaanding his long coliinernent. Tudifty, zoo of the 2to Light Dragoons land ed front Entt;land. Tnefday iatt, a (mall box arrived at Cork, on its way to this city, direeted to JANIES HUGH 5111 rat BARRY, Efq. containing coals out of A Mille jUll dircovered on his estate, near Lloghn.t kilty. Thz contiguity of the mine to the ocean, will render the c:pence of 'hipping a mere trifle ; betides, the coals arc equal in quality to the b2lt Liverpool, and burn without fmoke. R confcquence of the mob having al. fenihled at Taunton, and infißed on the reduelion of the different articles of provifion;, viz. butter to be fold at Bd. per lb. and the quartern-loaf at toil. the farmers omitted to bring their corn to market ; the cff‘et of which occailoned very ferious alarm to the inhabitants ; and an ablolnte defi ciency of bread was experienced. On \Vcdnefday evening, however, a party of horfc entered the town with two of the rioters, who will immediate ly take their trial. A ferious riot took place lall week in Glouceßer fhire ; thirteen of the moft aflive wereapprehended and lent to Glouceficr, where one of the Judges (Sir SOULDEN LAWRENCE) only remained, who declared he would not quit the city till every fymp torn of diforder had fubfided, in order that punifli ment might inimsdiauly follow the commiflion of the offence. The riots in Exeter and the neighbourhood have been kept under through the prudent meafures taken by the Magiftrates, and the principal inhabi tants enrolling themfelves as conftables. Upwards 0130301. have been fubfcribed in that city for the purchafe of foreign corn and flour as a relief to the poor. And a private letter informs us that 7000 loaves are to be baked weekly in that city, and three pounds of bread to be fold to every poor perfon at 6d. The fira appearance of the mob was truly formidable, and they for two market days difpofed of provifions at thtir own prices; but 700 conflables, backed by three troops of dra goons, have effeflually difperfzd them. By a gentleman arrived from Hereford, we learn, that the exorbitant prices of provifions had excited riots and tumults in the coun ics through which he paired; that the infurgents had alferebled together at the market-places, and obliged the far mers to bring their corn, &c. to fide at very reduced prices ; but that the vigilance and aftivity of the, Magittratet, together with the aid of the military, fuccceded in producing an apparent return of tranquillity. MiitoieD, APRIL t.—A moll fcandalous tranf aaion took place at Haverfordwea, on Saturday left (market day) ; fome perfons, from what ma tiv! cannot call!) , be imagined, polled a paper in a pub' part t f the town, Rating that barley and fine wheaten flour would on the following Monday be fold by a gentleman at Mitford to the poor, at a price little more than half the average of the market, namely, bailey at ss. 6d. a Winchefter bulhel, and tine flour at Std. per lb. The dila!). pointment occasioned by this hand-bill was not fo great as it Should feem the author intended ; for on the tirft intimation of it at this place, perfons were fent in different direElions to fct the poor right on the fubjeft ; and, although a few came from diaant parts, the number was fmall com pared with what other% ife ouldhavebeen the cafe. One evening lall week, as a poor weaver, of the Clofe, in Nevecaille, was returning from Shields, where he had been delivering a web, for the weav ing of w bich he had received fourteen Shillings, he was attacked on the road by two men, one of whom demanded his money. It was in vain the weaver pleaded extreme poverty and a flarving family; his all was taken horn him. He earnellly requeft ed, however, that they would give him two Shil lings out of fourteen, which was at lati complied with by the man who had as yet taken no aelive concern in the robbery, and the fuppofcd (utterer' was allowed to depart. He had not gone far be. fore he heard lonic perfons running after him, and crept through the adjoining hedge to avoid the danger. `I his he fuccceded in doing, and taking his road acrofs the fields, arrived life at home with his Myriad two Millings, which to the ado uifhment the hotieft weaver, were tiatnd on I examination to be nothing lefs than guineas, a part, no doubt, of the booty extraaed from the poduts of mute wealthy lufterers, and which, in the trepidation of treachery, had been given in field of Millings. A curious caufe has lately occupied the atten. tion of the Criminal Tribunal at Veloul.--A young woman was brought before it upon an accufatien of having murdered her child. This accusation was made against her by the general voice of her neighbours, becaufe She could not produce any proof of the death of a child of which the was laid to have been delivered. The defence the has let up, and which is much confirmed by the report of the Officers of Health, by whom Ihe has been examined, is, that her pregnancy was feigned, in order to force her lover, who was a foldier in the army of Dijon, to marry her. We have to congratulate the public on the ar- I rival of that worthy Phil tathropia and 'ireful men ber of fociety, Dr. GARDNILR, from E tin burgh.—His diftinguithed Dill, inavity of m in ners, and humanity, has defervedly endeared him to the discerning and refpatable i thabitants of Great Britain, Scotland, and Leland, and indu bitable and fatisfaelory certiti, a•es of this Gentle. man's cures of Nervous, Drop - ca', Seorb it e and other difnders, can be produc ed under the hands of the mod eminent both in England, Scotland, and Ireland, by applying to Dr. GaaDtra in Long-acre, wit re advice and relief in all chronic diforders will la_ ar ruddy giv e n and adminiftered.
