intentions ; but still we sure has been introduced tenants, and the tenantry property, from the evils which must have resulted from such a practice gaining ground. The example was too splendid not to have been followed. There can be no doubt but many worthies _would have been found anxious to make a sti4lime diplay of patriotism by in sisting on Bank Notes passing to them for but Six teen Shillings each, and eager to make a stand against the present ruinous system, by forcing their tenants to pay an additional Seventeen rounds Ten . Shillings per Cent.! Her MAJESTY'S Council were yesterday particu larly requested to assemble at Windsor, to examine the Physicians in attendance, on the state of his MA JESTY'S health. They had a long conference with the Doctors, and then waked on the QUEEN, and had an interview with her MAJESTY for some time, and returned to the Council-Room, and were sitting when our dispatches came from Windsor, at four o'clock. The Gazette of last night announces Sir W. Beresford as Member for the County of Waterford, in the room of Claudius Beresford, Esq. who has accepted the office of Escheator of Munster. Sir J. YORKE sailed on Friday for the coast of America, with the squadron under his command, consisting of three sail of the line, a frigate, and a sloop. General BALLASTEITOS, in a recent Proclamation to his troops, tells them that Russia has declared war against France. A letter received on Friday from Holland by a commercial house in the City, states, that 10,000 French troops had marched towards Toningen. We have the pleasure to state, that advice has been received, by way of Malta, of another action in the Mediterranean, highly honourable to the British arms.. A letter has been received from an Officer of the Pomone frigate, stating, that an action had taken place on the coast of Corsica (the birth place of BUoNAPARTE), between that ship, in com pany with the Unite frigate and Scout brig, and a French frigate with two large two-decked store ships. The enemy being close in the land, were defended by two forts and a martello tower. The .POmoile, after being towed by Ifoats for two hours, was btbUght into action ; and after a hard fought contest *of two hours and a half, the whole of the enemy's ships, forts, and tower, were blown up. The Pomone had two men killed and 17 wounded ; the Scout two risen (a Lieutenant and Boatswain) Wounded ;—the U . ni4 had none killed. • Reports were current at Carthagena, which we do not think very pri*able, that the British Go vernment had proposed' to garrison Panama and Porto Bello with English troops. We do not see any object that could 'be served by it ; and an at tempt to send troops to any tart of the Spanish main could- not fail to make: an impression unfa •lrewable to British connection. that six persons been arrested rench _ Rostock, two at Wismar, and three others in the neighbourhood. One Gen tleman had been set at liberty on giving bail in the sum of 150,000 franks. It is expected that they WA' all be liberated, but not without the payment nt heavy fines. The 2d and 9th Dragoons sailed from Plymotith on Thursday. Each man cook a spare horse to re mount such of our Cavalry in Portugal as may be in want of horses. The Grafts from the second battalion of the 32d and . loth regiments sailed from Cove last Saturday evening. The 59th regiment of foot sailed the next day. On Friday arrived two mails from Jamaica, the one brought to Falmouth by the Princes; Amelia packet in six weeks, and the other by the Francis Freeling packet in five weeks. By these convey ances letters and papers have reached town to the 98th of May. They furnish little or no news of a Political nature ; but that of a commercial descrip tion is upon the whole satisfactory. A fleet of mer chantmen, consisting of 101 sad, under convoy of the Hebe frigate, of 32 guns, Dispatch brig, of 18 guns, and the Hyena store-ship, of 24 guns, left Negri' on the 20th of May, for England, and their arrival may be shortly expected. We should be glad if we were able to say chat their cargoes would come to a good market. Two running ships. which sailed from the West Indies about he same tithe, have arrived off the coast. In consequence of the enemy, in the West Indies, having lost all their places of shelter, for privateers. it is considered a rare occurrence to hear of the cap ture of a merchantman ; and we do not learn that either of the packets has brought a single instance of any of our ships having fallen into the hands of the enemy. CHRISTOPIIE, according to the Jamaica accounts,. is at present the only disturber of our trade in the West Indies. The letters say, that lie does not hesitate to capture British vessels, especially if they have visited ports of his rival PETION. The Jamaica papers instance a capture in the schooner Endea vour, belonging to Kingston, which had been taken off Beata, by a pirate-boat belonging to St. Do mingo. She was carried into Cape Francois, where she was detained against all remonstrances to the contrary. It is not very likely, however, that CHRISTOPHE'S depredations can be very serious, for surely a single British ship of war would soon bring him to his senses. Intelligence had reached Kingston_from Marti nique, stating, ‘that in order to prevent that island from being drained of its cash, Governor .11}topr, RICK bad issued a Proclamation, prohibiting the American traders being paid in specie beyond the sum of 300 livres. They were compelled, accor. ding to the new regulation, to take either produce or bills for their cargoes.
