The charatters were neither so numerous or so well supported as on Monday, when the motley throng attended Fashion's call at the Ship. The best supported charafters were a gentle man, as Martba Gen, the venerable Priestess of the briny waves ; two excellent Highlanders ; A Mother Goose, who rivalled Simmons a good Ballad silver ; and a few fresh-water f Zors. That enemy to mirth, the sombre domino, prevailed.

On the 21 instant died, at Ea►t Sheen, Sir Brook Watson, Bart. an Alderman of London, ■nd De puty Governor of the Bank of England. He was burn at Plymouth in the year 1735, left an orphan in 1741, lost a leg by a shark at the Havannah in 1749, served as an Assistant Coninsisaary, under Co lonel Moncton, at the Siege of Beausejour, in Nova Scotia, in 1755, and at the Siege of Louishourg, with the immortal Wolfe, in 1758 ; in 17.:,9 he settled in London as a mer:hant. and the year following hap pily married Helen, the daughter ef Colin Camp bell, Esq. of Edinburgh. He was among the first Gentlemen who, ia 1779, I,rmed the respectable Corps of Light Horse Volunteers, and with them, when they were highly instrumental in ►uppressing the alarming riots in 1780. The following year he had the honour of presenting them with a standard from the King, in testimony of His 'Majesty's ap probation of their meritorious service. In 1782 he was called upon to fill the °Mee of Commissary Ge neral to the Army serving in North America under the Command of his friend, the wise, brave, and upright General Sir Guy Carleton, now Lord Dor chester- On his rsturn from that service he was rewarded w:th an annuity of 5001. granted by Par- Lament to his wife. In January, 1704, he was sent toParliament a Re presentative for the City of London, and on the dis solution in that year was re-eleded, and at the same period elected a DireSur of the Bank of England, and soon after an Alderman for Cordwairiers' Ward. In 1766 he served the office of Sheriff 14 London and Middlesex, and had tht honour of being Chair man to the Committee of the House of Commons in 1748, during their debates on the Regency Bill. On the Dissolution of Parliament in 171)0. he was again re elated to represent the City of London. hut voluntarily vacated his seat in 1793, by accept ing the Chiltern Hundreds, ors being called upon to serve as Commissary Gomel to the Army on the Continent. serving under the Command of His Royal Highness the Duke of York. Is 1796 he retored from the service. and was elected Lord Mayor. and had the duties of that high office to discharge during a period replete with unexampled difficulties. arising from the effervescence of party spirit, the mutiny in the Beet, and the restraint laid on specie payments by the Bank of England, of which he continued to be a Director. In March, 1798, he was commissioned Commissary General of England, and in November 1803, His Majesty was graciously pleased to express the Royal appro bation of his services.by creating him (gratuitously) a Baronet of the United Kingdom, with remainder to his nephews William and Brook Kay. Having no surviving issue, he has devised his in herited-estate (about three hundred pounds a year) after the death of his wife, to his sister, the widow of the late William Pitt. Esq. and his slender acquired property. after paying a new inconsiderable legacies to relations, friends, and servants, to be placed in the public funds, the interest to be paid Lady Wat son during her life, the principal at her death to his own And her named relations, in equal propor tions.

If my me mory be not affefteoi, 1 think I advised you of the appearance of the fleet, army, Ice. Ste. in our roods. I shall not now follow the occurrences in succession; but observe, that, for ten days, they continued to experience the most friendly hospitality from the in habitants, as well as aid in vultualling and provid ing for their shipping, a:. kc. both at Elsineur and here, without the smallest jealousy nr suipicion of in tended hostility. At the expiration of that time, Mr. Jackson suddenly appeared in this city, with the modest demand of our navy as a deposit against French intrigue and influence, to he restored at the period of a general peace. The demand was pe remptorily refused by the junior Bernstoff, deputed to a& here in the absence of the Prince Royal, and the older Minister, Bernstoff. The audience and discussion at the end of this demand lasted but an hour, when Mr. Jackson took leave and refuge on board the fleet. The second morning after, the town was in a convulsed state, from the well au thenticated report of twenty-thousand troops having landed at about the distance of six English miles. Such was the confidence of this government, in the charaderistic honour of yours, that the necessity for preparatory opposition was wholly overlot ked until this latter event WAS fully proved and established. In this state of affairs, and being without any regu lar troops. the defence of the city was left to about six thousand militia, the burghers, students, &c. all of whom exerted themselves day and night in for tifying the ramparts round the city, and making every preparation for defendihg the honour of their King and Country. In this occupation they were employed, I believe, twelve days incessantly, when a flag of truce appeared for the Governor, Peyman, with a demand similar to Mr. Jackson's, that met the same fate. This brought forward, the day following. a Proclamation from Gambier and Cathcisit, explaining the circumstances that im pelied the King. their master, to adopt the mea sures which menaced the refusal of iheir de mand through Mr. Jocksm o and wishing to impress the ideas of frnosdt) itifeatiees towards this Government, in case it would yield to the ob jo of their espedition. This Proclamation brought forward frequent interchanges of Rags, and We ld/a, that eveutuelly terminated in the sur render of the town being demanded, with this a:1.1 tine, that, if refused, the bombardment would, on the following day, commence. For trial nights, previous to this, several skirmishes took place betwixt the enemy and a corps of volun teers, composed of youths from the different re speflable families of the city, whose naive ardour and spirit merited a better fate than eventual'y awaited them, as upwards of SO, besides double the number desperately wounded, fell in the detactunt conflifts. Intended hostilities being now announced, it was time to provide safety for the women and children. Having of this description 16 in number under my proteElion, I was constrained to appoint a cellar, 16 feet square, as tie only place of relugt or seeming safety. In this we remained from ‘o ed nesday, the 2d of September, until the Sunday fol lowirig (God be praised, unhurt, notwithstanding the front of my house, the oifices, with every window-frame and glass, being hurt and destroyed by the shot that struck and burst around me. 7be operations of the first night having ended, a flag was sent in, but indignantly dismissed. On Friday, after Thursday night's hostilities, a second appeared, but refused : the comes:pence was observed in the determined resolution of the enemy to exert their every power, on Friday night, in redacing the city to ashes. About ten o'clock of that night, two of the principal churches were :assailed by shells and rockets; these took fire; and, notwithstanding the continued exertions and persevering aftivity of the firemen and engines, communicated to, and totally destroyed. upwards of 430 large and commodious newly-erefied hhuses, and two churches; rendered more than SOO houses unfit for winter dwelling, anJ left, after cursory examination. scarcely ItX) houses • without more nr less injury.

E T fiISCOVL RE D. CIRCUS, CATS. •cr. 1, 1807. Sta—The appearance of the Comet having ex cited mach curiosity, a few words on it, however in•sccurate, may not be unacceptable. It was first seen here by a gen:leman eminent for astronomical knowledge, on Monday, September 28, about eight at night. It seemed then to by near the star in Libra, in about 5 deg. S. declination, and about 21 $ right ascension. On Wednesday, about the sem• time, it appeared about 21 deg limb of the Equa tor, and in about 2161 right ascensions so that it had changed its declination about 1; d►g. and its right ascension about It deg. in that time. The coma. or tail, was about 5 d•g. long, a-ci the nucleus very donna and bright. It probably set about or a little later, and a•rout 9 deg to the north of the west point. These observations are very inaccurate, bat may serve to Aired your Readers a little where to look for it, as it is perfeelly visible to the naked eye. ••• On Wednesday evening, at Sherborne, Dorset shire, at half an hour ptst seven o'clock, was ob served in the western hemisphere, a cornet of coml. derablt: magnitude, near the left toot of the Some.. The tail appeared under an angle of about five , T six degrees, and its latitude abodr fifteen degrees. It appeared to be advancing towards its perihelion. On Wednesday evening last, a comet made its appearance, visible to the naked eye, in the neigkoourhood of Lor•.don. Its place form-ci need? a right angle with the bright star Ar,i , rag, and the elegant constellation Corona, or the noriaira Learn, and set almost due West about eight o'clock. Ite appearance to the naked eye was that of a star c.f the first magnitude, having a very distinguishable beam of light or nebulosity, extending to the lett or South of its body, of about a foot or 18 inches is length. The colour of the whole was very white.

" We have seen," says a Pip r of yesterday, it a letter ttom Gottenburgh, which mentions, that the English had become so unpopular there, as to be in danger of insult I.i the streets.

Amongst other stories circulated there, and which, we doubt not, are uafounded, it is stated that the English, under pretext of sea-thing for naval stores, have carried cff several articles of property that fell in their way, taking even the indLs:ic Ls that were on the desks in the Admiralty Office."
