Admirat4y-Offi . ce, August 14., 1802. This is to give notice, that information has beep received at this Office, that on Sunday the Bth inst. the Brig Adventure, of London, William Codling, !taster, of the burthen of seventy-seven tons, with a cargo, consisting of various articles of Merchan dise, laden on board ,at the Ports of London and Yarmouth, and bound for Gibraltar and Leghorn, found ere d at sea , a b out s i x m il es f rom the shore off 13 righthelmstone, the master and crew having pre viously quitted her in their .boat. Information has also been received, that by th e 4ksistance of a Sloop and several Fishing Boats, the said Ves s el was yesterday weighed and brought o n Shor e at Brighthelmstone, where the whole of her argo has been landed, and secured under the King' s ' o Qks ; the Vessel does not appear to have sustained any very material. injury in her hull, except one hole in the after-part of her bottom, and hopes are entertained that she will be got off the next tide, and be taken into,the Harbour, EVAN NEPEAN. Yesterday morning William Collin, late Master br the Brig Adventure, was brought to town in custody .of one of the Bow-street Officers, .from harwich,. and afterwards underwent a private exa:. toination before ,the LORD MAYOR ,at the Man_ sion.house.: Ai the same time the Sailor who had been taken at Deal on Sunday, and one of the Owners, who had been examined on Friday,. were also brought up. The examination of this Sail or as well as that of two boys belonging to the Brig, was read to Collin, who denied any know_ ledge of the offence with which he was charged.— He was committed for further examination; and the three persons belonging to the crew, now in cus t,ody,,are detained, in order to'give e v id ence a ga i nst Qi[l.l. The Gentleman who was part owner of the vessel, has also been committed for re-examination. tail to any amount ryas offered for hi s a pp earance , ut refused. The deteCtion of this apparently iniquitous trans tEtion to - defraud the Underwriters, is highly cret., B itable to Mr. BREWER, ship-builder of New' Shoreham , under whose directions the vessel was by tile Brighton fishermen got on shore, and for which, understand, he at4cl his assistants have a claim to . half the ship and cargo. The vessel, whiCh. is 77 tansOP burthen, was on Saturday got afloat, and by ,the of horses, towed into Shoreham harbour. The Adventure Brig,. scuttled off Brighton, has eeri unloaded. Her cargo consisted 6f, bal es o f She eting, printed cottons, tob acc o, b ott l e d porter , Castilesoap, services of plate, oils, colours, and variou-k other merchandize. nf THAMES POLI CE OF r c E.—Last Sunday several the Officers, after much exertion, - apprehended at •t`otherhithe one of the Owners of the Brig ' Adven -7e which was sun k i n or d er to d e f raud the Un- Ivepvriters.

The PRINCE of \VAL ts has been complimented on his usual discrimination, in S e ledi ng , among - those who are employed on the improvements of the Brighton Pavi/lion, Sir JoHN LADE, for the ar rangement of the Stabl,s. His Royal Highness certainly deserves all the praise which has been be stowed upon him on this occasion, for never was an Office assigned with a more jUdicious adaptation to appropriate genius than in the present instances Lord LAUDERDALE had better take'leave of Po litics, for whatever talents he may possess, it is evident that they are not likely to find encOuiage 7 ment in England, or even among his own Country "men," notwithstanding their supposed national par tiality, • The stfrasserwoman, who lately obtained sol. in a 'suit against an ostler at the late York Assizes, however skilful site may he in her business, was certainly right in applying to a Barrister to give her quondam lover a good lathering. • The two spires of the. Cathedral of the_eity of Lincoln are such a precarious state, .-thar Great Tom o'Lincoln is to be rung no more! The full swing of four tons and a half is found to injure the tower wher he hangs: He has accordingly been chained and rivetred down. According to report, a chalybeate water, pos sessing all the properties of that so long and so justly celelarated at Tunbridge, has lately bubbled at Cheltenham. It is probable that the people :of Tunbridge will consider this new Cheltenham Spring as, indeed, a Wble. One of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT7S Mob, who dined with him at Enfield on 'Saturday, in assisting to draw his carriageln the evening, was some how or other put to death. These are the natural conse quences of making a Mob drunk. The sloop which was made a present to Sir SID. lIRY SMITH by the Dr 'V of ALL IE RS; attraCted much notict •at Greenwich on Thursday, in consequence of its novel appearance and its singular rigging : The masts are not upright, as in English vessels, brit lean towards the stern. The Cabin is richly gilt, and from the shape of the'vessel she seems to be a safe and good sailer. The following Anecdote of a gritish Seaman, .one 'of the crew of the Car,' of ,84 guns, paid off on Thursday last, deserves to be recorded :—ln the_gallant attack on Linois' Squadron,. in Alge— siras Bay, the sth of July, 18oz, the Boats of the aesar had been all . : - endered useless .by the shot from the Batteries. It was necessary-to send some orders of particular consequence in :the then situa tion of the Ilannibal, of 74 guns, Capt. Futitrs, (on shore, and then much exposed to the,Enemy's fire) to the Venerable, of 74. guns, Capt. Hoon ; Rear-Admiral Sir J. SAUMAREZ asked who could swim ; a fine young Seaman, about nineteen, came. aft, during the.hottest of the fire from thetiFiench. Fleet and Batteries, and offered to strip and carry the -orders in his mouth; which he a6tually ae complished, and lrought back an answer to Sir JAMES in about so minutes.

SToceltoem, JULY 20.—We learn from Alicant, that a Tripolitan Corsair has captured a Swedish Merchant Ship called Le Parlor,, and plundered her of almost every thing. On the a pp roac h, h owever , of an English Sloop of War., the Corsair released the Swede, which...was condufted by .the English Vessel to the. Port de Santa Parola.• We have not learnt how the crew of the above mentioned Vessel has been disposed of.- BER.NE, Also. z.---A person named P}IILLIP B&RSINUER, a ci-devans Monk' of Ensiedln, and .now Cure'of St. Gerald, in Voralsberg, has formed - a new sea, Under the appellation of Adorers of the Heart of Jesus. .He persbades the people' the Devil possesses a great influence among the human kind, that many persons — ere ado:illy possessed by him, and that in order.to release them from his. - dominion, it is necessary they should be baptized by a sprinkling of a particular kind of holy water, which he distributes to his followers. A number of people of Senthis have imbibed his doctrine, and have been induced to make a pilgrimage to St. Gerald. The Bishop of C.onseance has thought proper to appoint a Commission to inquire into the Affair, and the. Helvetian Government has given orders to the Prefea, to exert himself to extinguish this new Species of Fanaticism, and to prohibit all NoEturnal Assemblies ; because those SeClarians imagine, that, it is more especially by night that the Devil is ac tive in his operations. We hear that Bmasx NGER., seeing the measures adopted by the Bishop; did not Obey his summons, but betook himself to flight. ROTTERDAM, 13.----LastTnesday night our vi , hola 'North-west suburbs were threatened for three hours with utter destruction : a most alarming fire having broken out in the gunpowder mapufadory of Mr. SNELLE, of this city, at the end of the Sehiecade ;it was occasioned by lightning. On its first discovery it liras permitted to burn.at will, a whole hour, such were the horror and.dismay which prevailed ; for the Magazine, containing some thousand pounds of powder, was within a R:w feet of the premises which 'were burning. At length, four Journeymen masons braved every danger, and got on the top of the roof, clearing it incessantly from the flakes and sparks of fire which fell on it. This encouraged others to venture closer ; so that at last one engine and then some others began to .play. It bursted from about half past twelve to three o'clock in the morning, when the weighing houses, containing several. heaps of sulphur, nitre, •Szc. with the carpenters' shop, and two mills were entirely - consumed: ,Maoy,Gentlemen of our city have their country \ residences on this spot, who, with their familie3, fled from their houses in the greatest consternation,, nearly naked, taking nothing with them ban their children. One old man of 77 years of age, was rode over and killed in the bustle; and another person is missing, supposed to have baeli drowned. BERDEE;;SHIRE - . tiv itCe .

HAY Mr. town talk IS here upon a Very siligular,af fair, of which the following are the particular's; i A person, in appearance a Gentleman, arrived anout a month ago, and took lodging at the pilhoipal inn; Where he assumed all the consequence attached to fortune and great expeaations. .He called himself the Hon. Hen?), Howard, and introduced himself tb the acquaintance of the most respectable people in . the town,' frequented the Baths' arid Other. public places, and being a man of good address, was well received . in all companies. Having thuS established: himself in their good opinion, he borrowed several small sums of money, and got on credit a variety of goods, consisting of. linen,, wearing appearel,' &c. Some suspicious circumstances ,however appearing, an inquiry was set on foot, the result of which was, that the Hon. Henr ) , klowal'd proved to be a com mon swindler, and to be the same person w;lo de frauded the mistress of the inn at WeymOuth of 301. and decamped on theevening of the day TI: E I R MA J E S'il ES arrived there, leaving a small trunk filled with stones.

On his second examination the following particulars transpired :--It appeared his name is 3. B. crossier, and that he formerly was a shopkeeper in London, where. he failed in but-,iness. Soon after his, failure he went to Ireland, where he assumed the name of Howatd. IA Doblin he kept the best compiny, and was thought to be , a man of - ,good fortune. After passing some months in, the most independent manner, 'he found means to in. .gratiate himself sO much into favour of one family in Dublin, that he borrowed s°ol. the principal of which he promised to return as soon as a remittance from his steward should arrive, which he expthed in . three days at farthest. It is hardly necessary to ‘ add, that he decamped before the day of payment arrived. On the second he took French leaye, and . was nor heard , of till the news of his exploit at Wey._ mouth was made Public.
