We are informed that the French Government have refolved to eitabliih, at a place called Tars bosh at the mouth of the Scheid, a new military harbour of immenfe importance. It is to confift of a port, naval arfcnal, or depot, where naval equip ments can be carried on upon the largefl fcale, and where a fleet can always lie in fafety. The point has, it is laid, been furveyed by the firft en gineers of Fiance, and ifippolld to be extremely advantageous 1,,r the purpofes intended. If it be true that the FIRST CONSUL is loon to vilit Bel gium and Aatwetp, it may be with a view of taking to v 41i Pirtois of this patios. Int* each Government medi •-• 1: 3 4 ;7 /. tate the ereltion of anew Breft. or Toulon, in this quarter, it cannot be indifferent to this country.— It is true that they have Flufliing in this quarter where rads may alembic, and from which an ex pedition might fail againft this country. But it is not a place adequate to the magnitude of the views of the prefcnt Government. It is natural that France Should with to ellablifh a naval Ration on the northern fide of the Empire, and lance Belgium has fallen under their dominion, they will avail them (elves of the means it affords. However we may be jealous of the purpofes to which a naval Ration oppofite to our coafts may be employed, wecannot difpute the right of France to have Inch a Ration. In former times this country, aware of the danger or the alarm that might be given from a port moll favourable for attempting a debarkation on our coats, or for annoying our trade, infifted that the harbour of Dunkirk Should not be fortified or im proved. At prefent, however, no flipulationwhat ever exifts to prevent the French from fortifying and repairing the works of Dunkirk, or any other harbour. Should the propofed plan take effeU, we apprehend it will be abfolutely neceffary for this country to have a great naval Ration Come where on the North EMI emit, in order to en able us to watch and counteraa the attempts that in time of war might be made againft us from the coaßs of Holland and Belgium. The relative fituation of the two countries, and the probability that in any new war we Mould be obliged to contend with plans of invafion, ought to induce Government to eflablifh Tome military port and depot, where gaps may be theltered, equipped, and fitted out. The advantages of fuch a Ration, with Wile military pas, fo far North as the Scheid and theTezel, from which alone with the kali chance of fuccefs an invafion could be at tempted, it is unneceffary to dwell upon. It would add vigour to our offenfive operations, and fecu• rity to the ifland. We are lorry to learn that the reports refpet9ing Honduras have more foundation than was at fir 4 apprehended. Some of the moll refpeelable mer cantile houfes have received advices from thence, that the Spaniards have fent notice the Britifb fa ders mull quit, or they will be expelled by force. Our privilege of cutting logwood is of courfe at an end. This intelligence is doubted, as no notice of the kind has been received from the Spanifh vernment, but the non-renewal of former treaties at Amiens, putting a period to any claim we had to this indulgence, the Spaniards, we fuppofe, think nothing more is neceffary than to give us notice that they mean to carry the meafures, which that Treaty authorifes, into effeft. Minißers cannot oppofe the Spaniards on this point, though parti cular branches of the manufaaures and commerce of this country mutt Puffer. NAU7IC4L INTELLIGENCE. YARMOUTH, JANUARY Is.

MARGATE, JANTJARY io. This evening, about fix o'clock, the Aaive, of Greenock, Capt. HORNBY, a fine new Well India flip; of 350 tons burthen, laden with soo hogf heads of fugal., &c. bound to Greenock, parted from her anchor in the roads, and came albore within about half a mile of the Pier Head, where the foon funk ; but owing to a tremendous turf, which, with the advantage of tide, foon com pletely rolled over her, our fkilful feamen were unal le to put off to her salaams ; nor was there, any poiribility of difcovering, from the faint glim merings of the moon, vrhether the crew had left her. After the tea had made a complete breach on her weather fide, the drove in (bore, with her fore and miun mass (landing, upon the Nayland Rock, at s o'clock in the morning ; to which fortunate cir cum (lance may be attributed the fafety of part of the patengera and crew, who, had the remained where the fiat ftrock, would, in all probability, have periesed. As far as we have been able to I dikover, they coati of niaeteen perfons, and from lathing tbemfelves in the &muds, ten out of the nineteen were faved. Five pealed in the main top, by the falling of the mail ; one lad was wathed overboard ; and three were taken from the rigging, who pa illted by the (pray of the tea, and from the inclemency of the weather. Every means of re fufcitation on them were ufed by Mr. SLATER, a furgeon of this place, without fuccefs. Among the furvivors are the Captain, Mate, and Pilot. A Dutch hoy, laden with t2OO bags of wheat, bound from Amlierdam to Lilbon, parted from her an chors, and came athore under the cliffs, off Bir chinton ; the crew and cargo Caved, and the velU likely to be got off.—A Haftin or Rye hoy, in ballaft, alto 'hared the fame f ate, and lies very near the Dutchman. Her crew Caved themfelves by taking to their boat, and there is reafon to be lieve that the velfel wiU be got off with very little damage. LOSS OP THE HINDOSTAN.

It is with extreme concern we mutt now add to the melancholy lift, the lots of the Honourable the Eaft India Company's (hip the Hi/MOSTA/1, EDWARD BALSTON, Etcl commander. This veffel failed a few days ago from Gravefend, but no account having been received in due time of her arrival ip the Downs, great app; chenfions have been fine entertained for her falety. Yet. terday particularly, the was the fubjed of much converfation in the city. Some feared that the was driven out of her courfe, but the moll general opinion at Lloyd's was, that the had put into the Hope. All (peculation is, however, now at an end- An exprefs arrived tall night at the Eall India Houfe, with an account of her having been loft in Margate Roads. Later accounts, hown er received at Lloyd's this morning fay, that (he is only on (bore on the Sean part of Margate Sand ; her main and mircn marts and foretop malt are gone.

TRIAL Of LIEUTENANT-COLONEL GEORGE lIACKEN. Zig, CAPTAIN J. N. PL'OONOGiI i AND OTHENS. CONTINUED FROM THL STAR OF YESTERDAY. LORD CRAM 1:4 TUE CRAM. This day the Couit proceeded to the further examination of witswas, agreeably to the minute of the farmer adjournment. Corporal William Douglas raid, he was in Cale tlreet on the evening of the 4th of June, when he received orders from Lieut. Col. M'Ken. zie to go the barracks and caufe the regiment beat to arms. He went accordingly, and in con fcquence the regiment did beat to arms, and the men turned out and ran to Caltle-ltreet, where they formed, and not in the barrack-yard.—Wit. nefs was in Caftle-fireet when an order was given t , with ball cartridge prime and load." This order was given by Captain M'Donogh. He was in Captain M'Donogh's company when this order WAS given. The men went through the motions. After this the regiment were ordered to march to the barracks, and were doing In when the inhabi. tants, throwing (lotus, &c. brought them back.— Wi:nefs law the (tones thrown, but is not Pure ther the (tones (truck the military ; he however heard the voices of the people, but could not fay what they were crying. Witnefs did not fee Captain htl , Donogh after he gave the command to counter ! march. Witnefs faid before he left the barracks there was a report that the officers were much abufed in the town. On the previous day an or der was given to take all the ball cartridges from the men who were to fire thefeu &frje, who were all the regiment but the guard. The men were themfelvcs to 14y by their ball cartridges. Donald *Kenzie, drum-major of late Rots and Cromarty regiment, Paid, nn 4th June lad, in the evening, he received in the harracks orders by Corporal Douglas from Licut. Col. M 4 Kenzie to beat to arms. Mr. Alex. Milne, writer. Aberdeen, laid, be law the regiment of Rofs and Cromarty drawn up in • Caltle•lireet in the evening of 4th June, with Captain hi'Donogh at their head. He gave orders to prime and load with ball cartridges, and fire.— ' The firing did not then take place. He faw fowl thrown at Captain M'Donogh before the foldiers came down. Did not fee any 'tones thrown at the time Captain M'Donogh gave his orders. Mr. Alexander Robertfon, merchant in Aber deen, on the 4th June was in the New Inn. When he went there in the evening he thought there were rather fewer people on the freets than anal. They were throwing (tuff. Capt. M'Donogh was in the fireets, and the guard was drawn out.--. Saw Enfign Lanigan brandithing his (word, and Captain M'Donogh had his (word draws. He took off his bat and (poke a great deal. He was fometimes in good humour and fometimes in bad humour. He loft his fword amongst the mob.— Witnefs law Captain M'Donogh bring the men from the barracks, and form them in Caille-flreet, bat did not fee any (tones thrown at them. The men were ordered back to the barracks, and when nearly all gone into a narrow lane, they came run. ning back and fired off their pieces irregularly. Mr. Andrew Bonner, failor, laid, he was in Cale-ilreet on 4th June, and faw the guard turn. ed out, and (tones thrown from both fides, both by the guard and the mob. Orders were given to fire, and (even or eight fired. Saw the regiment formed in Caftle.fircet, and heard the officer gin orders to prime and load. Mr. Adam Watt, baker, Aberdeen, Paid he faw the guard turned nut on 4 th Jane lath He did not fee any [tones thrown at the fentinel or guard houfe before they were turned our. Witnefs went to Enfign Lanigan to advife him to turn in the guard, as it was provoking the boys to infult them. They were turned in, and afterwards came out again, and he faw them afterwards fire upon the people. Witnefs law Captain M'Donogh that evening har ranguing the crowd, and thought very much of his condtia ; he was doing every thing that be came h m, and more than became him, to quiet the public bunk. Alexander Anderlon, blackfmith, Aberdeen, Paid, on the 4th June he was in Caine fireet, and few the guard turned out. He did not fee any Roses thrown at the guard-houfe before they were turned out. The guard did not fire till the foldiers came from the barracks, but they ran at the crowd with fixed bayonets. Dr. George French, phyfician, Aberdeen, Lid he was called to look at the body of Rofs who was killed on the 4th June. A bullet had gone in un der the right eye and gone out under the ear. Here the declarations of the prifoncrs were read, and their identity admitted. This clofed the proof on eh: part of the profecution. PIIOOT IX XXCULF•TION. Major Welt of the recruiting diltria, Aberdeen, faid he hadgi yen orders fur all the rect uititT parties not to be on the Itreets on the evening of the 4th of June. This he did, having heard that aWm Commandant of Volunteers was to be burnt in effigy on account of (*.nix circumflinces in his cos. duet which his men had not liked. As a military man, his opinion is, that a guard ought never to allow a mob to cleft too much upon them, and, if attacked, to maintain their poll at all rilks, but there may be occafions where they fhould wait foe orders. It is the duty of a commanding officer either to reinforce a guard when in Danger, or with draw it, according to circumstances. He faw Capt. M'Donngh alter the whole affair, and ad. vifed him to go and take command of the regiment as the Colonel was then inefficient. Lieut.-Colonel Stewart. of the 42d regiment s Paid, he eonfidered it his ditty, when on guard, to defend it if attacked. When a civil Magillrate is prefent, the military are under his command; but if a guard is Rationed and attacked, I confider it a ditty to bring a reinforcement to afiiik. In his regiment. at prefent in the Cattle, every foldier has liz rounds of ball cartridge ; when afeNde joys is fired the ball cartridges are t-rdered to be laid aide. but immediately after it is over they have. their ball cartridges as formerly. 1 I i
