The above was communicated to them by fome filhing boats, as the frigates failed the night before the AURORA and ACTI vs arrived off the port. A gentleman in Dtindee writes thus t— , I have a letter from a friend at Dunkirk, in which are the following particulars :The Lady Stormont, Groins' TODD mailer, bound from Dundee to London, fhip and cargo valued at upwards of ts,oool. fterling, was taken on the nth March by the Bellonc Fiench privateer, mounting so guns, commanded by Citizen Btawarea it, and carried into Dunkirk.

After hearing the narrative of Captain Dolmas, the Court was of opinion, that the lots of the Paid Hoop was occalioned by her being drilled on the Shingles by the rapidity of the tide, after.lhe was tacked, and before (be got head way through the water, the (hip having put in ftaye,. , by the Pilot's diredions, whilft the pro per mark (fiellig the light of Hurft Caftle) was in fight, and that no blame was imputable to the Paid Capt.

Jame: Car ney, Jobe Seaton, James Bucker, "'awe Logan, and , yam: Noble. The complaint fisted, that on the sift of laft month, his (hip got on a rock called the Heriot, near Inchkeith, and having made a fignal of diftrefs, a boat with the above perfons in it came off to his affiftance • but as the wind was unfavourabli to get into Lei t h, he wifhed to go to Barntifland, and - anted them to take him in there. They a(ked twenty-five guineas for their trouble, which he thought exorbitant ; upon this they, with much abufive language, left his Ihip, and had it not been for the anitlance afforded by Captair. LAURENCE &ENE, of Leith, who came off in a (mall yawl, and carried him into Burntifland, hi, (hip and cargo would have been loft.

MISS ROBERTSON.—this Lady has not been removed to Maidltone gaol, as was Rated on Sa turday. Her creditors have lodged detainers againft her, and the remains at Huntingdon, where flue was taken into cuftody. When Mr. MARTYR, the carpenter, arrived at the inn at which the was apprehended, he was at once informed, that two Ladies of the defcription of Mifs SNAIL pa and Mifs Rosearsos, were in the honfe. Their names were unknown. He fet the officers on the watch, and went up Itairs to the apartment of the two ladies. Mifs SHARPE was in the fitting-room, but at fir( denied that Mifs ROBERTSON was in her company. Mr. MARTYR and the officers Aced her to open a door that led to a contiguous bed chamber. It was locked; and the laid the had not the key. One of the officers, with his foot, bur( the door open. Mifs Ross:mon was dif covered (landing on the floor, in a flannel night gown. Though it was late in the morning, (he had but juft ftarted out of bed. ' Her perfon was immediately identified, and (he was condu&ed to the gaol. In the gaol the was left in a Rate of extreme wretchednefs : her money being entirely exhaufled, flue was without means to procure any comfort : the was obliged to make a fourths in a room in which the found three other women : had not one of them admitted her, in companion, to flare her bed, the 'have flept on the floor : the is now in very 411 health ; and Mifs Sivars, who, though not in necelfary con finement, Rill attends her, has written to folicit Mr. MARTYR for money for Ma ROBERTSON'S im mediate fubf►Rence. Her creditors met at one o'clock, P. M. on Sa turday laft, at the Bricklayers' Arms, in the Kent Road 4 to confider what they fhonlcrdo for the re covery of the debts the owes them. The total finfi is not lets than is,cool. fterling.

A woman and her infant child, refiding in a cottage near Claine's Church, Worcefter, were on Wedncfday night burned to fuch caeca, by a fire occationed by the falling of a candle againft the window curtain, that their lives are defpaired of. A diftiller's carman, on Friday, riding on the top of fome empty calks in Blackman-ftreet, Bo rough, was thrown off, and his (cull train/ed. CORN AND MEAL. ALNWICK. MARCH ao. It is a notorious fad that at this moment many thoufands of families, in opulent and middling cir cumitances, have double, and Tome treble, the flock of Corn and Meal they ever laid in, in times of plenty, the bad tendency of which is obvious ; as itmult of courfe create an unufual and unne celary demand, which is always accompanied by a high price. Hence we find many of thofc who, in the molt unqualified terms condemn (peculation, become a numerous fet of (peculators themfelves, and as that kind of monopoly is couched under the idea of confumption, it more than any other kind eahauces the price, and fupports in its full vigour a fpirit of fpeculation among the farmers and dealers. —lf you want the price of corn kept down, or the price lower, when very extravagant, do not on any account whatever bring it out ofthe hands of the ' farmers until you be in abfolute want of it ; and, infiead of keeping a larger ftbek than in plentiful years, every individual should contrive to keep as (mall a flock as pollible, otherwife he becomes a monopolizer, to the injury of the poor—and, in general, to his own difadvantage in the end. A dull fale has always a tendency to damp the far mers and dialers, and of courfelower the markets; but, as long as individuals continue to fupport (peculation, by an unneceffary demand, you may be allured prices will keep up, and, I believe, no longer.—l am new perfuadcd that at prefent, be fides what may be imported, we havimore corn than will ferve till long after harveft—and as markets have taken a favourable turn, let us fecond the alteration by leffening the demand, and by no means keep an unneceffary flock, which, in times of fcarcity, has much worfe effel than we appre hend it has. On Sunky evening a very heavy ihower of hail fell to the northward of the metropolis, but fortu nately it did not lafl long enough to do any ma terial damage to the blolfom which now cove. s thz fru't trees. _ _ A large quantity of foreign fpirits were laft week Peen floating off the Norfolk coaft, near Happif burgh, and drawn afhore by fome labouring men, who drank of it to fuch excefi, that one of them died the next day, and two others nearly loft their lives. _ _ _ At Lcdbury fair on Monday the price of cheefe fell upwards of 125. per cwt. The following hint, if adopted, may prove ufc fol, and, we preurne, the experiment may be eafily made in many fitnations. A Gentleman in the neighbourhood of Cockermouth, planted laft year a quarter of an acre of ground with carrots, with out dungiug. The produce was upwards of 600 !lone. Some of thefe carrots weighed 3116. each. and mcafurcd twelve inches in circumference. This may be admitted as a curiofity : but the experi ment had been made for another purpofe ; and it anfwered beyond expedation. Work horfes were fed with the carrots through winter, and were iu the moll thriving condition, and fit for their ufual work the enfuing feafott, at about one-fourth of the charge of the accuftomed feeding. Moufehold Heath, Norfolk, is at length inclof ing, and fome lots of it have, we underfland, been let at ass. per acre, although previous to inclo fore, it was not worth lb many pence. CURIOUS TENUR S.—The lands of Briannon, a village near BLndford, in Dorfetfhire, were held by a tenure which obliged the proprietor, when' the King marched to war againft either Scotland or Wales, to furniih a man to walk before him, without any other clothes than his fhirt and draw ers ; holding in one hand a law without a ping, and in the other, an arrow without afro' her. Among the lulus Natant of the prefent age, mar!) crhaps be reckoned the following : A Cow, the property of Jdhn Proffer, farmer, of Halton. hill, in Littondale, in Craven, calved on the night of Thurfday, the tsth day of March, tBol, a fine whye calf, of a green velour, a fhade darker than the gofsling green. It has three common brown (pots on either fide, andone on the top of the head, each about an inch broad ; and one brown foot. The young animal appears in perfect health, and likely to do well, if it be not too much dif turbed by the curiofity of the allonifhed neighbours. On the laft market day at Plymouth, it was full of every necelfary of life at reduced prices. Butter is. a pound, potatoes ts. a gallon, and other things in proportion. All went off quietly, without any difpofiuon of rioting; and the farmers went home highly pleafed with the protection afforded them by the civil and military power. Ric:rs.—ln the afternoon of Friday fe'nnight a tumult took place in the corn-market at Sunder. land, in confcquence of the price of wheat, 405. being demanded by one of the dealers for a boll of that grain; the populace immediately raked the kennels for dirt, with which they befmeared the farmer, who was glad to retreat to the Fountain Inn, the windows of which houfe were aft:it/ed with Roues and brick-bats, as were alto thofc of the Half-Moon and Queen's -Head. Betides the da mage &Rained in the brittle materials of the honks attacked, a quantity dawn was madly trod ' den under foot, and feveral of the farmers carts were teen floating to 1 a the next morning. A juftice of the Peace with a few contlables kind upon one of the infurgents, and committed him to the cage; but he was Coon after liberated by a de tachment of the rioters. things continued thus till about nine o'clock, when the Juftice, with an pin e c a reafed body of conftables, again made his ap. ra nce, and read the riot-ad on the Reps of the George lon, by candle-light ; but with fo little (need's, that it was deemed prudent to plant a military guard round his houfe during the niht. In• the midi of the fray a party of the Lancalbire Militia were called out. . _ Thurfday three men going about Stith dancing bears, were taken up by order of Jultice Huirrta, of Queen-f - quare, as vagrants, when the nutter and owner of the bears was committed to Bridewell. Thurfday evening, about ten o'clock, as .Mr. Lazenby, of Walbrook, was returning to town from Sydenlviun in a poll chaife, he was flopped by a angle highwayman, between Dulwich gal Camberwell, stmi robbed of his calk.
