PORT N PLYMOUTH, Frrs. 9.---Letters received from the Amethyst, Si; guns, Capt. Seymour, dated at sea some days since, state her being all well at that period, and that a day after he had parted the Emerald, 36 ; - tnis, Capt. Maitland, he fell in with L'lrene, 44 gun:, and Ethalion, French frigates, which had escaped from St. Maloes, apparently full of troops, and kept in sight of them for two days, in hopes of falling in m ith one or other of our eruizers, is hen he would immediately have attacked them. On the third night Capt. S. lost them, anti the day afterward: had the mortification to fall in with the Shannon, 36 guns, Capt. Make, which arrived here last Sunday. Had not the French. frigates altered their course, there is no doubt, from the well known gallantry of Capt. Seymour, and Capt. Make, with thAr officers and ship 's company, but they w odd have brought them both into this port as prizes. EFFECTA Or TUC LATE GALES. v cn, FEB.

Several pieces of timber and wreck continue to go past. MARGATE, len. 12.—Last night and this day it has blown a gale from the North West.

THE 'LATE MARQUIS OTTHOMOND Was of a most ancient and respectable Irish Fatally. He was nephew and heir to the late Earl of Inchiquin, wh►►se title he bore for many years. So long since as 1i33, he married Mary. the eldest daughter of the late Earl, who, on the demise of her mother, became Countess of Orkney. By this Lady be hadno Children. His Lordship was celebrated rather as a bon vivant than a fashionable, and for many scars had the reputation of being a six bottle men. For many years he had a seat in the B7itist; House of Commons, as well after as before his neces aiou to the Irish Ear!dom of Int-Mgt:in. About the year 11941, he was married (his tirst Lady being dead several years) to Miss Palmer, the amiable and accomplished neice of Sir Joshua Rey nolds, the bulk of whose fortune she inherited : Mr. Burke act ed as father to the bride. In 1804, he was created Marquis of Thontond in Ireland, and shortly after made a Peer of the United Kingdom by the title of Baron Thomond. His Lordship was in his 85th year, and to his last hour enjoyed a most envia ble state of health. His Irish titles and estates, which are con siderable, descend, we believe, to Captain O'Brien, a very near relative. By his Lordship's demise, an azure ribbon, of the Order of St. Patrick, falls to the disposal of Ministers. A Coroner's Inquest was on Thursday held on the body of the deceased, when it appeared in evidence that his Lordship met his death by a fall from his horse, while turning the corner of Grosvenor-square. He fell upon his head, and a great amino of blood immediately took place. His Lordship's groom rode up to the assistance of his master, who laid hold of his hand, and grasping it firmly, cried out—" William, William." These here the only words he tittered after his fall. He was taken to the house of Lord Sydney, whet e he expired in a few minutes. As his Lordship fell, a cart came up. the wheels of 4% hich went over his legs r but it who proved that this did not produce his death. Coroner's verdict—Accidental neef:h. LENT . ClllCliri'S. 11 ACCIDENTS, OI"FI..NCES, Prim—The. fire which broke ant at :ffr. Nichols's Printing-- office, Red-lion-passage, Fleet-street, broke oat at ton 4m Mini day night, and continued burning until four the next mornme,.— There is no certainty aFt to the rasa: n' in which it oriijoated, more than that it is generally supposed to hate begun from a snuff of a candle having been dropped in the ware-room. The whole of that very extensive concern is ceasumed, and valuable works that have been accumulating for many years have brew entirely last. It is said that Messrs. Nichols awl Son %set-4 in_ sured to a considerable amount, but by no means equal to cover their loss. There is a remarkable circumstance relateA, w filch is as follows :—A servant girl was in the kitchen, almost smfo rated with the smoke, and unable, through terror and depriva tion nf breath, to move; a firrman discovered it, broke open the windmv, and at the risk of his own life saved the girl's. The celebrated Major Semple met %vitt' another unexpected detention on Thursday in Upper S(•ymour-street,in consequence of his haviegforgotlen to satisfy the demands of an importunate tradesman. The Major called at the shop of a perfumer. a few da..s since, and looted out ornaments to the amount of 2fts. hen he requested change for a 51. note, which being agreed to, the Major begged pardon, and with affected surprise observed, that his note Is as for ltll. ; but the tradesman not having so much change, took his word for the at:tides. Mr. S. however neglected to call, and Maas very .naf-ei-propov met by his cre ditor yesterday in Scy !flour-street , who sans ecremode demanded his money ; but the Major, being destitute of either cash or notes, took refuge in the house of a Mr. Frear, to . :lvoid the offieions mob, when a constable was chz:rged with him. The Earl of 13-- was passing by, and on perc:•iving the (Toff d, enquired into the busines::, and on the tradeitoan, inakin; his case known, bis Lordship paid the deamnd ; but thcre were other clamettrous creditors :it the street, and, to avoid their im irtrtunitieb, Mr. Semple escaped f:oin the br.ck part of the hoes It luckily happened that for. 1 was from town, r.ud the Major had only to get the consfmt Of a servant to seek eofuge in the house. DI ED. Suddenly, on the S'd of F bruary, at l',:r.senthwaito near Kr,witk, Cunsberland, Mr. Jos?ehl.ell, at an t;ilanced age—his remains were interred in liaenthsvaite church-yard, ztttend,rl by two sons acid a daue;htf.r, a cui:sidcrable toneourse of people frogs the surrounding villages, asFembied to pay the ttinute of re.4pect to who alw resided asno , lyt them, and always bad been distingt:ished, nut by the Fracti.v of dvnestic and social virtues, than the roaitaut exerci-e real Oeuevole::ec and .v - .ll•direrted ebarisy.
