SHEERNESS, JUNE 2!. 'flits day arrived His Majesty's Sloop Cruizer, and Vixen Gun-brig, from a Cruize after Smugglers. The latter has come into Harbour to be repaired. The Favostrite and Speedwell Sloops were paid off this day. DEAL, JUNE 21. 'ARRIVED and sailed for the River, the Eliza. beth, STEPHENSON, and Phirnix, DOUGLAS, from Jamaica. Saturday a Court Martial was held on board His Majesty's ship Donnegal, in Portsmou . th Harbour, for the.trial of Mr. J. H. TERKEL, late Master's Mate of His Majesty's ship Albanai se, Captain NEW. comsti (which was carried by the crew into an enemy's port,) on a charge of being suspected to have been privy to the mutiny,- and for not dis closing it to` the Captain.—Captain Sir RICHAILD STRACH.►N, President; M. GliE ETHAN( ' Esq. Judge Advocate. It appeared frnm the evidence - of Captain NEW. COMDE, the only Witness called, that Mr.TERRELL had been sent frain the Ship in a Prize, the day preceding the Mutiny, and that there was no other. reason for supposing he hatibeen privy thereto; but that Godfrey, the head•- Mutineer, who has since been executed, had cieciared'at Malaga, that Mr. TEKxEt, knew - of it, and would have been concern. ei if he bad- been in the Ship. The Court, after hearing the Prisoner's Defence, and the many Cer tificates of good CharaCter given him by Officers under whom he had served, both before and since hiabeing confined as a Prisoner, .adjudged him to be honourably acquitted. The case of this young man appears to be exceed ingly hard ;- merely on the suspicion thrown on his charaCter by Godfrey, he has been transmitted from ship to ship for upwards of eighteen months as a prisoner, by which means he has entirely lost his promotion in the Navy ; it is however highly credit able to his charatter, that during his confinement on board several ships in the Mediterranean, such was the opinion of the Officers commanding those ships, that they sufrcrtd him not only to go at large on board, but to take a very attiwe flrt in upwards of thirty actions with gun-boats, and in cut►ing out vessels from enemy's ports. After the above Trial, T. Parsons, A. PEver, and J. Marriott, late Seamen belonging to L' Alba- Naise, were tried for aiding and assisting in the above Mutiny ; when the Court were of opinion that the Charge had been in part proved against them, but in consideration of the age and length of confinement of Parsons, and his good character, and the other two prisoners, who voluntarily returned to Gibraltar from Malaga with the Captain, the Court adjudged them all to be mulled of their pay, and imprisoned thtee months in the Marshalsea, M'Ever to receive So lashes, and Marriot zoo. It is calculated that upwards of two hundred and Sixty new faces will appear in the next Parliament. If there should be a contest for Cambridgeshire, it Will be the only County Contest in England. Mr. LYGON has offered himself again forWorces zershire—so that the report of his being called to the Upper House must 'be unfounded. Mr. DENisoy, the present Member for Wootton ttsset, has offered himself for Colchester. Mr. Lamar° N has been received at Durham, with great acclamations. On Thursday last MICHAEL ANGELO TAYLOR, .sq. and his Lady arrived at Durham. Mr. LUSHINGTON, it seems, has declared his in. tention of standing again for the City. In this case a smart contest may be expelled. The Town of Weymouth will be very strongly Contested. Mr. GASRI.EL STEWARD, Sir JAMES PULTENEY MURRAY, Mr. GARTSISHORE, Mr. ADAMS, and Mr. AkstrraNcrt, are the Candidates. The latter is supported by what are called the In. dependent Inhabitants. _ _ _ Mr. NEFEAN is considered as certain to In re turned for Bridport. The Borough of Shaftesbury will be warmly con_ !cited by two .Gentlemen, in opposition to the Interest ofrol. Woon, who lately made a purchase of Mr. PAttr. But, lELD'S property there. There will be no opposition whatever to the present Members for the Town and County of Dorset. Mr. RossoN, it is said, is a Candidate for Bishop's Castle. We rather think it is some castle in the air. The Duke and Dutchess of MoNTaose left town on Friday last for Scotland. The Countess of CAMDEN arrived last week• at Brighton. Lord and Lady SHAFTESBURY intended to have passed a short time in France, but in consequence of her Ladyship's indisposition, their trip has been postponed for the present. Mr. SHERIDAN has been indisposed with an in termittent fever, but is so much better as to be able to resume his Parliamentary duties. Colonel GREVILLE, it seems, gave a splendid dinne r on Sunday last to a party of friends. SO NG. THE PILOT THAT ItIOOR'D US IN I'EACE. je we honour the Pilot that weatheed the Storm, And nc'er can our justice and gratitude cease, Shall the sight of the Harbour our hearts fail to warm ? No—Here's to the Pilot that moor'd us in Peace ! For the chance of new warfare M.'s moil may sigh; And PARTY, hostilities strive to renew ; To Wisdom, that Nation to Nation could tie, The blessing of Europe are honestly due. And shall not his merits then BRITONS revere, Who took to the Helm, at his SOVEREIGN'S command— A Pilot who prov'd he could steadily steer, And the Vessel secure from the Storm and the Strand ? Who, when gloom and dejeaion hung over the State, As the ORB THAT PRI,SERV'D us its radiance withdrew, Brought the Ship into port, thro' the perils of fate, Unsully'd her Flag, and in safety her Crew. Exulting, impetuous,. on Glory we gaze, And caught by War's triumphs scarce think of its woes; But the pause of refidetion its horrors displays, And the heart of Humanity pants for repose. SO ADDINGTON, proudly as BRITONS we burn, On viewing the Laurels by Conquest assign'd, With still nobler delight to thy Olive we turn, As the symbol of happiness shar'd by MANKIND. 0 ! take, then—for Honor with Spirit maintain'd, For Counsels, by judgment and prudence matured— ! take, for the PEACE which thy wisdom has gain'd, The Thanks of an Empire whose Rights arc secur'd ! And 0 if the value of Concord we prize, And wish that the blessings of life may increase ; The respect of the Good, and the praise of the Wise, Will point to the Pilot that moor'd us in PEACE ! On Friday . the Transports designed for the Em barkation-of the .19rh • Regiment of Infantry, .ar rived in Plymouth Sound, from which place they are to proceed to Halifax, the intended station of • the Regiment. On Tuesday the 15th inst. this excel lent Regiment was reviewed by Major-General ENGL./art), Commanding that Distrift. Each rlianceuvre performed by. the Regiment at_ traded the,greatest attention of many experienced veteran Officers: with steadiness and correctness each formation was completed.—The uniform sol dier-like appearance of all ranks, and their good conduCt, was such, that the General has been pleased to place on record in the Garrison Orders. P t tymauth Docko6th June 1802. GARRISON ORDERS. MajorXeneral ENGLAND begs to express his perfed ap probation of the very military appearance, steady and correct state of discipline manifested by the 29th Regiment yester day, at their field inspecTion, • Although the Major-General has hitherto been silent in communicating.to the Regiment his approbation of their ge neral good conduEt during twelve months that he has been fortunate in having them under his Command, yet he has not negleded to report it frequently, for the information of the Commander in Chiet, in such terms as cannot fail to recom. mend them to His Royal Highness's approbation. He now requests Lieutenant-Colonel 11v No, the Majors, Captains, other Officers, and the Regiment at large, will accept his tribute of thanks for their very exemplary anti soldier-like condud whilst stationed here, a conduct which by his remark has resulted from a proper system of discipline established in the Regiment, and which refieds the highest credit on those Officers who have established it, as well as on those who, by a strict and persevering attention, have ably supported it. , He assures the Regiment, that he regrets the approaching separation, though happy to congratulate them that their destination (to his knowledge for many years) is to a remark able healthy ,climate, and as good a quarter for a Soldier as any part of His Majesty's dominions can boast of. It. b. The Commanding Officer has much pleasure in commu nicating to the Regiment Major-General ENGLAND'S appro bation of their condua in general, as well as of their appear ance in the field yesterday, whkh he has been good enough to express in such handsome terms. —He trusts it will be an excitement to the Men to conduct themselves at all times so as to deserve approbation, and they will find, that good con dud is never passed by unnoticed or unrewarded. The eyes of all Europe seem fixed on the Royal Interview which is about to take place at Memel. As it is not usual in modern times for Sovereign Princes to rendezvous at a sea -port town, merely for the sake of a little recreation, we cannot feel surprized that such an event should occupy the minds of most per sons on the Continent. The French are endeavouring to shew the great importance of Louisiana, which has been ceded to them by Spain ; and a Memoir of the Count de VERGENNEs, in which its value is rated at the highest price, has been published. The Count de VERGENNES, in his Memoir, shews likewise the importance of Canada, how necessarily Louisiana _ and Canada are conflated, and how much it should be the policy of France to recover it. A Public Print declares itself unable to compre hend what the MARGRAVINE of ANSPACH has gained by becoming A PRINcEss of the German Empire. The Print alluded to must be ignorant of a circumstance very well known. The Mar gravine was not induced by foolish vanity to solicit that honour, but to obtain a right to inherit great arrears due to THE MARGRAVE, in case of his demise, to which arrears she could not have succeeded unless that honour had been conferred. An-Account recently received from St. Helena says, " On the I ith of March our new Governor, Colonel ROBERT PATTON, landed here from the ship Arniston, under a salute from the Mount, of nineteen guns. The principal Officers concluded him into the Council Room, where the Secretary read the new Commission of Government, and the Governor took the Chair at the Board accordingly. At the request of the Prefeet of Police, the Me dical School of Paris, having made a variety of ex periments relative to the substances employed in painting children's toys, have stated as their opi. nion, that the sale of such articles as are coloured with metallic compositions should he prohibited.— The Prefed has caused their report to be printed, and Copies of it to be sent to the Commissaries of Police. Last week a long depending race was run for a very considerable sum, on Chipping Norton Com mon, amidst a large assemblage of persons, be tween two gentlemen of the town, one upwards of 7o years of age, giving the other, under 3o yews, ten yards in zoo. The odds were two to one in favour of the young gentloman, who won by only a few inches, EDINBURGH, Ju NE 19. Os Thursday afternoon the following persons ar rived in Town from Aberdeen, under custody of Mr. GEORGE WILLIAMSON, Messenger, and,were committed to prison, viz. Ensign John Lanigan; Walter M'Kenz;e, Hugh Mitchill, Andreae Mackai., Alex. Sutherland, serjeants ; and Win. Thomson, private ; all'beionging to the Ross and Cromarty Rangers. Their commitment is in consequence of the late unfortunate affair at Aberdeen, on His Majesty's Birth-day. They were brought in a Revende Cutter. Yesterday morning the first division of the Both Regiment, commanded by Colonel GRAHAME, of Balgowan, which behaved so gallantly in Egypt, marched through this City on their way to Perth ; the Officers and Men look well, but they still con. tinue to retain the marks of the warm climate of Egypt. BY THE DUTCH MAIL. VIENNA, Ju Nz 5. ON the td inst. the eastern side of this City was threatened with very serious mischief. .The Inspelor of the Military Powder Magazine, dis tant about half a league from the City, and situate on an eminence, had gradually colleeled a great quantity of gunpowder in his house, which was at a little distance from the Magazine. From certain circumstances, he understood that his condua had excited suspicions, and that it was intended to search his house. To prevent this, he resolved on suicide ; and having removed, on various pretences, his wife and children, his horse and some other .things, to a place of safety, he set fire to the gunpowder, by which his house, with the la boratory and the adjoining guard-room, were blown up into the air, or shattered into pieces. His body was shockingly mangled, and five sol diers of the Regiment of Kerpen, who were in the guard-room, were killed ; IS other persons were besides mortally wounded, and two are missing. Fortunately the explosion did not communicate to the powder-magazine, if it had, the consequences would so doubt havd been much more calamitous. In consequence of the restoration of tranquillity in the Island of Saint Domingo, Dispatches have been sent off to Plymouth, to he forwarded from thence in the Hunter Sloop of War, to Admiral DUCKWORTH, at Jamaica, with orders to send home all the remaining Ships of War upon that sta tion, except the few which are to continue on the peace establishment. The Dedaigneuse Frigate, which sailed a few days since, has similar Dispatches on board for the Cape of Good Hope and the East Indies. One half of the Ships of War at the for mer place are to return to England, and the re mainder are to proceed to India, with the troops, who are about to evacuate that settlement, and for the purpose of relieving a like number ordered home to be paid off. By a Return presented to the House of Commons from the Lords Commissioners for regulating, dired ing, approving, and confirming all Sales and Con. traits for Sale, made by Bodies Politic or Corpo rate, or Companies, for the purpose of redeeming their Land Tax, it appears that the number of Sales, and Contrads for Sale, approved by the Com missioners, has been, From the 2.gth March 1799, to 28th Mach rPoo Eg; Sales. From the . 29th March 'Soo, to 28th March 'Sot 433 Sales. From the 2gtirMareh Aot, to gth lune ISn 277 Sales. Total - 1605 The value of the Sales, and Contraas for Sale was 753,834. which sum was obtained in the fol_ loWing proportions, from Sales made by the differ ent descriptions of Ecclesiastical and other Corpo rate Bodies : Archb. of Canterbury and 16 of the Bishops, 189,493 16 3 Deans and Chapters - - _ 286,982 12 •4 Rectors and Vicars - - - 1Q6,187 3 10 Colleges and Prebends - - 85,228 11 3 Lay Corporations - - - 9 1 ,94 2 II 1 2753, 8 34 1 4 9 A Monument has been ereaed in the vicinity of the City of Augsburg, on a spot called the Island, in honour of the ARCHDUKE CHARLES. It is a Temple supported by four columns, and decorated with four Lion's heads. In the interior, on a pedestal of grey marble, is erefted a white Carrara marble Bust of His Royal Highness, in a Roman costume. Upon the top is an eagle with expanded wings, and holding the Imperial Globe, with a laurel branch. This Mo nument is i 6 feet (German) in height, and bears the following inscription :—‘' To the Saviour of Germany, by some Germans."—At each corner is a young oak, the symbol of the German Heroes. There are four approaches bordered with roses and jessamine. The inauguration was to take place immediately after Whitsuntide. Amongst the numerous hired servants, in the late Earl of Lonsdale's Family, at Lowther-Hall, in Westmorland, there are now living eleven men and women, whose servitude amounts to 467 years; twelve men and women, whose term amounts to 349 years ; other men, women, and boys, in num ber sixty-nine, whose servitude has been from z to 27 years each.—All the above persons, in number gz, are at present in the service of Lord Viscount LOWTHER. Lord LOWTHER has given to the two principal grooms of the late Earl, six capital stal lions. On Saturday se'nnight, his Lordship order ed three hundred bushels of potatoes to be given to the poor of the neighbourhood of Lowther. On the Bth inst. about five in the morning, a young woman, accompanied by her sister and her infant-of two months old, left Tournay for the pur pose of going to, her husband, who•was then at a fair about four miles from that town. She had scarcely proceeded 8o paces from her house, when one of the traces of the chaise broke, and so fright ened the horse that he jumped into the Scheldt, dragging the chaise after him. The whole soon disappeared. The driver, however, knowing how to swim, had the good fortune to escape. The poor mother previously to her sinking, had the precaution to throw the child out of her arms,.and he was immediately saved by the driver. One of the females was taken up dead six hours after, but the other had been sought for in vain. L ATV REPORT COURT• OF KING'S BENCI-I, CLERK .Z.'. GREY. This was an Aftion against the Defendant, recover the sum of 4.01. being the value of a p.:r. cel which belorged to the wife of the Plaintiff, an which she was to take with her as her luggage, in virtue of a place she took and paid for as an in. side passenger from London to Market I-Lrborough, in a coach, of which the Defendant was the pro_ prietor, and which parcel was lost before the coac:l' arrived at Islington. The Defence to the Aftion was, That by virtue of a board stock up in the Defendant's coact_ office, on which were written the following words, the Defendant was not liable " Take-notice, that no more than 51. will be accounteJ for any Goods or Parcels delivered at this Office, wiles; entered as such, and paid for accordingly." Upon which, as the Defendant had not paid this 51. into Court, a Verdia was found tor the Plaintiff, for the sum of sl, ; the Plaintiff's Counsel giving up his claim to more, subject to the opinion of the Court, upon the Law of this Case, &c. Mr. ERSKINE now, the point being saved to him, moved for a rule to shew cause why this Verdia should not be set aside, and a non:.suit entered—upon which the Court granted the Rule. THE KING ^J. JOHN CHAMBERS THE YOUNGER. This was a Case, in which the Defendant was re ported to be in contempt upon his answering inter rogatories before the Master of the Crown Office, upon a subjea which has been already before the Pub lic, that of taking several warrants of Attorney for one sum of money, lent by his Father, at the Hole in-the-Wall Public House, in Fleet-streer, to a poor man, and who had been the objet of the most griping extortion, &c. Tile Defendant stood com mitted last Term for this misdemeanour, and was struck off the Roll of Attornies.—it appeared, that he had presented to my Lord Chief Justice, and we believe to the other Judges out of Court, - an humble Petition praying to be restored, which Petition Mr. ERSKINE adverted to in the course of a short speech in behalf of the Defendant, intreat. in; the mercy of the Court, &c. and to which Mr. GARaow, Counsel for the Prosecution, as sented, alledging he had no difficulty in saying, he believed the Defendant had always concluded him self well in all cases except the present, in which it appeared, that he was a very young man, and under the imperative commands, and almost absolute. control, of his Father, who had lent this mo- ney, Sic. The Court said, that whatever circumstances might appear in this young man's Case that might ultimately procure for him the lenity of the Court, he must be made to feel for a while its justice, all i therefore must continue for the present off the Roll of Attornies. THE KING v. TUr.NrR. This was a Rule calling on the Defendant to shew Cause why a Criminal information should not be filed against the Defendant, for alledged miscoßduet at the time when a parish meeting was held for the purpose of chusing a fit Guardian of the Poor, &c. when a Gentleman of the name of Fielding was chosen to that office, with which elec tion the Defendant being di,ssatisfied, used violence to Mr. Fielding, and then offered him a chal lenge, &c. It appeared now frdm Affidavits that this was a dispute between two Clergymen, the Defendant being the Reaor of the parish in which this hap pened, and the Prosecutor being a Minister of the adjoining parish ; that in the course of the proceed ing at this Elestion, the Prosecutor had also mis condu&ed himself by saying some unwarrantable and very provoking things to the Defendant, and therefore my Lord Chief Justice observed, that as the Defendant had, by his Affidavit, stated that he was ashamed of his misconduft, as well he might be, and as the Prosecutor had also misconduetc..d himself, this was not a matter in which the Court would lend its extraordinary interference to settle their disputes, but leave the Party to his India tnent, it he chose to adopt that course.—Rule dis. charged. THE KING V. -GARD. This was also a Rule calling on the Defendant to shew cause why a criminal information should not be filed against him, for offering a bribe of about pool. to five, being a • majority of nine Elec tors for a Borough in the West of England, the name of which we could not distinttiv hear, for the purpose of obtaining their suffrages for a Candi. date, whom he did not name. It appeared from the affidavits made in answer to this charge, that he was a man very low in life, and that he denied his being employed by any other person to aft as Agent in this business, and there. fore my Lord Chief Justice observed, that as he had made this denial of agency, and as he was in no condition to advance this sum himself, and as the Party had another remedy against him if he was guilty, the Court would not interfere in this manlier, and therefore the Rule was discharged. THE KING V. PINKERTON. The Defendant was convided of a libel on a Gentleman of the name of Houghton, Agent for the Birmingham Canal Company, refleding on the testimony that Gentleman gave before, the Arbi trators to whom were referred certain disputes that subsisted between the Canal Company and the Defendant. His case had been , fully heard last Term;, when he was committed to the King's Bench Prison, and now he came up to receive the judg. ment of the Court, which was pronounced on him after a suitable address. The sentence of the Court was, That the Defendant do pay to the King a fine of 2001., and that he be committed to the custody of the Marshal of the Marshalsea of that Court, until such fine be paid. THE KING V. M'LEOD. The Defendant came into Court for • the purpose of receiving its Judgment upon two Convictions,
