LONbON CANAL. Of Oils great Undertaking, which is to lain the Paddington Canal with the New Ddcks, the opi nions are far from unanimous. To the Canal origi 'pally intended it was fuggefted that a Itail-road ought to be fubflituted, as a more eafy, cheap, and expeditious mode of forming the communication. We believe, indeed, that great as the trade may be on the Carrel, the clear receipts will fcarcely be equal to a fair intereft on the prodigious eon, not of the work, but of the ground to be purchafed for that purpore, in fuels a Inflation. The track is extremely well adapted to a Rail-road. While the Subfcribers imagined that the latter would take place, they have been (truck with amaxemeat at the refolutions, which have been made, to make not only a Rail-road, but a Canal alf o! lfthis extravagant plan is followed, we are warranted to fay, that a great part of the pro moters of the undertaking will withdraw their fubfcriptions. We fay nothing on the impnlicy of making a Canal to pats through London, on principles of attention to the fahtbrity of the air. We leave this to the decifion of the Chemitt and die Medical Philoropher. A numerous alTemblage of perfons of every de faiption was attraaed to the Parks yellerilay.— The candidates for fame in !lathing were many; but we have witnelTed more (kill and grace. A reel was given on the Serpentine by three Gentlemen with great nicety, and Come few rates were rllll. ! which difplayed more exertion than talks. The banks of the river were crowded with beautiful women, who admired the agile movements of their friends. The moil ridiculous exhibition we law, was a perfon dreffed in a bear's (kin, who with gaits attached to his hands, difplayed a degree of elegance in the art that was not furpalred by any, and that none would attempt to imitate.— This curious exhibitor was Paid to be a German Count, but we underfland that he is the fon of a terpeltable furrier. Among the moil dextrous jlaitere were Colonel AR re sr eo a o,Captain Hams t row, of the Dragoons, Aarnue Urroti, and Hamar Cautrietn, of the Guards. The dory of a child having been murdered in Sloane-freet, and for which a woman has been in tent* (erne weeks, turns out to be a mere fabri cation of the young girl, her daughter, who had been aftUated by a principle of revenge, for hay. be. been beaten by her parent. This morning at ten minutes pan eight o'clock, was executed, before the Debtor's door, Nen:Tate. George Egger, for the murder of his wife and child, r 1,, th rowing them into the Paddingt .• n Canal.— 1 On Saturday he cnnfeded that he was guilty of the crime ; and fence that day was unable to converts with any perfon previous to his execution. Summer DeATHS.— Mr. T/1014•3 for many years the Senior O ffi cer of the Court Of Requefis, In spathwark, on his return from the Court on rricfry evening, fell down in the Borough, and expired inftanify. He was a man far advanced in We. On the fame day, Mr. Totter, who had been i,n attending a t n t o e m Se e Ittonms thence,iotife, in wasHtaoife. r with a £t in Iting•illeet, Snow's.fields, and al. though every means were ufcd to recover him, he expired in lets than half an hour. After the verdia was given in the cafe of the Officers accufed of murder at Aberdeen, Lord Cita to (Prefident of the Court) obferved. that the Jury had returned a very accurate and didind verdid, making a proper difcrimination between the prifoners, agreeable to the evidence, and Inch werdia the Court had reafon to cape& from Gen tlemen of their ability and knowledge. His Lord. Chip hoped :hat thu unfortunate circumllances which, it appeared by this trial, had happened, would be a proper warning to the Magiltrates of Aberdeen, and to all other Maillrates, to flop all riots and tumults at their fir s beginning. Re joicings on the Birth day of our gracious Sore. reign were extremely proper, and it was natural that the minds of the people (hould become ele• vated on loch an nccafion,but when they proceeded to riot and tumult. they ought to be ii.Rantly checked by the Magiilrates, fo as to prevent all danger, IsiMh to cool awl military inhabitants. The Prifoners were then affoilxied, and difiniffed from the Bar. Mr. Moir ITT R &hard the Court in a fpeech of confiderable length, anJ of moth ingenuity, the purport of which was, that as the prifoners had been tried at the enhance of a private profecutor, they (bould be entitled to their Eapences. He grounded his plea on a Scotch At of Parliament, which lays, if a private perfon Mall profeente. and , Mall not make out his charge, it &all be ACCOUnt C d , calumnious, and he Ihall pay the eapences of the Defenders. In this cafe the prifoners had bcen put to very great espencer, and having been acquitted. he claimed their Expences. Mr. Wm. Rae replied, that far reafans unknown to him, but certainly very proper once, the Public 1 Profeentor had declined profecuting in this cafe; but it would be very hard indeed. if a poor man had io:t his only fon by murder, lie litawid have no opportunity of bringing the perking fuppofed to have committed that crime to trial, witiniut being fubrtded to expellee in cafe of their acquittal.— This was adding injury to injury; and the AO of the prefent motion being agreed to by the Court, would be, to doom the unfortunate father, Daniel Iti,fs, to perpetual imprifonrnent. The Hon. litlfity Bastian replied to Mr. Rae, and was anfwered by Mr. Joi n t Cl.lllll, for the prolecution, in (porches of fume length. The Con rt confielering the queftion as important, ordered both parties to give in informations on the point on or before the toth of March. Three other indiaments were then called apish the fame perfons. The diets againd Lieot.-CAI. *Kenzie and Capt. lil , Donogli io each of them defertedimpkiter—Enfign Lanigan was ontlawed. , The diet againft the Scrjeants was continued till the lath of March. it being the intention of the profs-01ton to bring them to trial on another of tbe mdiamenm.

We are indebted to one of the Officers for a more particular account of this unhappy affair.— We forbear any comment on the condo& of the Mailer of tlw Pilot (loop, which, though Appearing on the firer bluth of the btifinefs extremely repre henfible, may yet, upon a candid hearing, be fad ficiently accounted for, to the fatisfa&ion of all parties. The condo& of the Commander was, throughout, colleded, manly, and humane ' • the water was abfolutely up to the third tier of bints, and nothing efeaped his lips that could tend, in the lean, to difbearten the crew, who were %ding their utmoll efforts to avoid the impending danger; nor was it until Mr. Toasts', the Second Mate, had brought the difmal news, that the pumps were choaked with land, that he imparted the real de fperate fituation of the flip to the crew ; but when the boats were all love in attempting to get them out, all hands were inflantly feu to work on con nruding rafts. Signal guns of dinrefs were inef fedually fired the whole of the night, and pilot veffels fignal to come within hail. Shivering and hopelefs, at twelve the crew all got on the raft or on the rigging, the fea running mountains high. About one A. M. the flood had made fo much, as to make a breach half way over the foreman, every part being completely filled with water. At a quarter pail four. a Margate boy, with a gallantry and humanity never to be too much ap plauded or rewarded, approached, and at different times took on board the remainder of the flip's company. Of the Sixteen people 1011, Tome were froeen to death oa the rigging and raft. and others ftwept away from the latter.- Had the foreman one, which wis nionientarify etipedcd, Very file gdeed would have efcaped. inhiolt part of the craw, whore good conduit in general was exemplary, have been four voyages with the IltwoosrAm, and have flue entered on board the CITY or Lomoon. DOVER, JANUARY 1 4 . Accounts are every hour reaching us cf the me lancholy effeds of the gales, in the earlier part of the week. We hope all of them are not co•red ; hut fear moll of the following are 14: The Satre gun brig drove from her moorings in the D .wns, and ran alliore among the breaker ; but, by Cart ing her water calks, guns. and every thing on board, for her prefervation, was got otf with little damage. A Well Indiaman, name unknown, is wrecked in Margate Roads, feveral of her men perilhed, and about 403 calks of fugar are pre ferred. A foreign velfel is loft on the Goodwin Sands ; her crew had deferted her before fhe (truck. but firppofed to have been unable to reach land. Two teffels, one laden with fait, the other with bale goods, arc on (bore near Deal, crews fared. The Viacw gun brig, in Dover harbour, broke fcven hawfers, and ftranded her cable, and, in fecuring her, feveral of her men had their fingers cruthed. fume entirely off, by the fudden &am of the wind upon the ropes. The light hnufes on the Pier %vete neatly loathed away, and the piles of the South Pier quite deftroyed. A velfel was fcen to pats on Wednefday, bottom upwards. Sailed the KING GEORG E, Captain Kiwc, with palfengers for Boologne ; Barques packet, Capt. Dant, with mails and palfengers for ditto; Ac live French packet, Captain CocLusv, for ditto ; Succefs, Captain Coes va, for ditto; and the Ar go, for Louifiana.

On Saturday 'the Box packet, containing dm Company's diipatebes for the Government of Fort Saint George, and a number of private letter, which was put on board the Ihip Hindo(lan, was brought to the India Houfe, fortunately preierved from the wreck of that Blip. EGTPr. PRIVATE LETTER. ALIZAIIMIA, Nor. I.—We had hardly sot rid of the horrors of the plague, and fettled sue differences with the Turkifh foldiers, when we be gan to labour under another evil which has lately become very ferious. Damanbour is the place from which our garrifon here has in general been ' fupplied with frail provifions ; and ever fine a detachment of our troops that had been Rationed in that town, left it on account of the plague, the induttrions people in the neighbourhood have been haraffed by the depredations of the Bedouin Arabs, particularly thofe of the tribe of Walled Ali.— , The country people en their way to this place were frequently robbed, and of courfe we were badly fupplied with food. There robberies at left became fo frequent, that it was neceffary to fend a party, confining of two fubalterns, and ;a of the dra- , goons, to Birker, in order to fupprefs them. This meafure was for fame time attended with good effed, but the depredations have again been re newed with increafed audacity. The day before yefierday a horde of Bedouins robbed all the Arabs they could meet near Birket, of their mo ney, alibi, and every other property they had about them. A party of dragoons was immedi. ately fent in purftut of them. The Bedouins waited until they came near, and fired their atuf ken. which. however, did no injury. The dra goons returned the fire, and wounded one man; But there Arabs, whole horfes arc far fuperior to ours, efeaped. A Captain and twenty men have marched off to Birket this morning to reinforce the party there; and, his Paid, the whole of the . s6th regiment will go toDamanhonr is a (mays. In my left, I told you of the arrival here of Bs- SATIAIIi, the French Envey Extraordinary to the Levant. Hels now at Cairo. The brig that ac companied him hither, has failed for France. The frigate he came in is Rill here ; and the report of the day is, that the will be detained until we that receive fame accounts from England; as a Reif. underilanding is Paid to earl between the French and Britith Governments. I have no ground for this but report. Every thing, however, in this place has a myfterious appearance : Come of the batteries here have been repaired by night, parti cularly one at the point of the gland of Pharos, which commands the harbour, and another under Fort CalfareUi. Derides, our artillery have been reinforced by 1;o men from different regiments. We underftand that General Sruaar exped difpatches every day from England, with orders for the evacuation of this country. But as it is Rill uncertain, whether we thall leave Egypt this feafon. winter quarters are fitting up for the army. With refpea to the movements of the Mime hikes, all I have been able to learn is, that; they are every day approaching nearer to Cairo. The oath regiment is already gone into the califs of Pharos, which the Turks have occupied (lace April left. There are fill Tome Turks there ; but I am told they do net much like their new sue& ; although the Englifh foldiers behave with the greaten propriety towards them. The Turks and Foglia* are at prefent on the ben terms. We have jolt done a very extraordinary aft of polite nefs and refpea towards them, which, to fuck bigots as 'boyars, bes been, matter of &Rona. meat. The.sZ s of lift month was Mahomet's day. -Weill& contributed to the celebration atl st,.by a Calote of SI guns front our forte, and from the of war in the harbour. Our garrifon is remarkably healthy; and there is no fymptom of the plague In this country. 1
