Pa tNo loses, Accompanied by several of the Nobility, attended divine service in the Col. legiate Chapel of St. George. An excellent Ser. ;lion was preached by Mr. WI t.sori, and the Grand Chorus in The Mersiab . was sung in a capital stile by the Cient!eaten of the Choir. The Duke of Be opoßn is at pryent at Woburn, with a selen party of friends, amongst whom are Lord WILLIAM RUSSEL, Lord PIUSTON, General Loot.ow, CIIAIII.ES CHESTER , Colonel Lee, Mr. PYNII, Mr. BYNonnm, Mr, Moult:, Mr. Hot,. t.ntro, &1., with the Marquis of TAvisTocK, and several of his young friends. We mentioned in nor Paper of Monday, a rumour that bad been circulated, of a Descent having been tatie opon the Island of Jamaica. The account was F,AiAI to have been brOught by the Virtu schooner, which had arrived.at Bristol. The Bristol Paper received yesterday, says, ." We arc happy to have it in our power to contradia such an unwarrantable report, as no such Vessel has reached our Port." Private accounts from Parit mention, that not. withstanding all the caution of Government to con. coal intelligence from St. Domkzn, yet several letters have escaped tire vigilance of the.Po,t-Office. The authenticity of the foilowieg exttatis are vomited for the first is dated from Port.au.Prince, Oft. 23. " Yesterday the Commandant of the Cendarmerie of 1' Ilecahoye. - after paying the Black Troops, gave orders for them to go out and patmle in the Plain, which was menaced by the Rebels. Instead of obey. ing, the Blacks fired upon the Whites of the Na tional Guard : a great number were killed, and the Tes t f e ll fink upon the camp of Boueturitr. More than fifty women and children were drowned in at. tempting to gain a boat that had pushed off. '' Alm: vane has been taken by the Brigands : they kept it only a few hours. They are now spread over tire Mountains. of Roehdair. From Part.au. fr:ver to l' Anta.a.litau, all is lost : every thing is burnt in the environs of Pcri.eat-Prince. The Blacks kill the Whites and People of Colot4 with. our mercy they have plenty ammunition, which i 9 furnished them by DESSALINES and the Other Black Chiefs, for whom commands are reserved. " There are scarcely any White Troops left : t h e y have peddled of fatigue and misery. The :sailors have experienced the same late. 64 Those who have arrived froi'a France to re,. establish the Colony, have brought with them the principles of PO LIP Eke!. and SANTIIONA X. The Commander in Chief was the most improper man that could have been pitched upon." The letter from the Cape is dated Odober 2 5. it any '' General Let:LAIC is at the last extremity. Ile has evacuated Fart Dauthiv, Part ile Paix, and every place about the Cape. We are threatened by tt numerous army of revolted Negroes. The sAfery of the Cape is so much despaired of, that the cannon have been wiked, in order that an embark. „ t ;„„ m i g h t t a k e plae,! at a mement'!: notice, in caw of need. All the houses and magavincs are shut up. The Cape, Port.an-Prince, arid les Cayes, : tre the only places that remain in the hands of tire French.'' Some French Is'ngincers were lately sent to Tetuan, to examine that bay, and ascertain how far it could be converted into a harbour ; and it was reported that the CHIEF Consul. proposed to have purchased it from the Mums as a theck on our navigation of the Mediterranean.

PLYMOUTH, JAN' ". Tut Gratitude, of Hull, laden with coals from Newcastle, mentioned in my last to be on shore in Firestone Bay, has been got off, and towed into Harbour with little damage. Arrived the Eliza, of London, Capt. DONALD. SON, from Rotterdam, laden with brandy, bound to Bristol, put in to refit ; and the Selina, Capt. J. DCIREAR, laden with fruit, from Zante bound to Hull. YARMOUTH, JAN. I I• FOR these three days past the wind has blown very hard at East and E. S. E. The following Ships are on shore a small distance to the Southward of this place : Squirrel, from Newcastle to London, with coals : Master and eleven men drowned, three saved. Good Intent, BtowN, from Hartley to London, with coals : Master and six men drowned, three saved. Grocer, Mryoß, from Hull to London, with potatoes ; crew saved. The Peel, STEVENSON, from Hull bound to Opor to, with bales, is put in with loss of anchors. A small Smuggling Vessel, the Hope, of Lynn, was yesterday, from stress of weather, obliged to come into Yarmouth Harbour. She was immediate. ly seized by the Custom.house Officers, with her cargo, consisting of 11 2 tubs of spirits. The Crew report, that the Master was washed overboard the preceding night. DEAL, JAN. 11. Tr has blown a heavy gale of wind at East all yesterday and to-day ; ,?,od last night the Danish Brig Elizabeth, of Flekkefied, J. D. Stunt:co master, bound to Lisbon, in ballast, drove on shore opposite this place, where she remains ; but should the weather moderate, there is every reason to expea she will be got off. COWES, JAN. to. ARRIVED the Dutch brig Postillion, from Deme. rara, with coffee and sugar ; and the American ship Nancy, Capt. 1- ones, from Baltimore, with tobac. co, and ordered to the Motherbank to perform quarantine. Sailed the Anna Theresa, BuLLweatt, for Ostend, with fruit. Yesterday several Cowes pilot-boats picked up, floating betsieen Portsmouth and the Needles, thir. teen hogsheads of French wine, and two hogsheads of brandy, which the Colle&or of the Customs has claimed, as dro:.•s of the Admiralty, Lately the Nanry, of Dundee,. laden with coals from Sunderland, was wrecked on the Old Law Point, near Holy Island, where the crew, consist ing of the Owner, his son, and two other seamen, peridsed, being all the hands on board, except one, who owed his deliverance to the spirit and aaivity of three brothers, of the name of YouNquosts AND, of Elswick. The ship took the ground about two o'clock in the afternoon, and before nine at night went to pieces. The son died in his father's arms from the severity of the weather ; soon after which, the latter, having lost all his fbrtitude, sunk into the same. Watery course. The other two were swept from the mast, about which they had swung till nature was exhausted. The only sur. vivor stopped by the companion till the tide ebbed, being frequently immersed in ten feet water. The Mr. YouNr;ousunnins swam their horses in, but were repulsed by the floating wreck. On their returning to the shore, a shriek of agonizing distress pierced their generous feelings. They thereupon dismounted, and • catching a rope, providentially wafted from the wreck, they tied it to each other, whilst the first swans to the remains of the vessel, and encouraged the distressed survivor to quit the companion . and jump into his arms, which he fortu. nately effdled, and thus, almost lifeless, was drag. ged on shore. On Tuesday the 4th inst. an experiment of track ing vessels by means of a • Steam Boat, was made upon the Forth and Clyde Navigation, in a very successful manner, having on hoard Lord Dort') As, the Hon. Capt. DoNn.s.s of the Royal Navy, Mr. Set sits, of Rderslie, and several other Gentlemen. Between the hours of one and two, the Steam Boat left Ha. milton Mill, to meet the Alive., Wm. Gow mas ter, one of the largest vessels in the navigation, burden zoo tons and upwards, which it took in tow near Stockinglield, and carried, with the greatest ease and safety, at the rate of three miles an hour, to the East end of Port I)undas, amidst a very large concourse of people, who were exceedingly well pleased with the performance. The general use of this contrivance, will undoubtedly be advantageous to the country, by greatly improving the mode, and lessening the expel ce of tracking vessels upon and inland Navigation. Yesterday , the "LORD MAYOR held a Court 'of Aldermen for the expresi purpose of swearing into office TtiomAs RoWc kOFT, • Etti. lately ekted an Alderman of the Ward of Walitrook, in the room of Mr, Alderman CAD aLL, deceased : no other bnsi. ness of any consequence was done, excepting order. the price of Bread to continue at niorpence.far_ thing the Quartern Loaf; the Court then adjourned to the Mansion,lionse, where his Lordship ele gantly entertained them and the new Alderman. There Isas lately beer, a heaiy fall of snow in many parts of Ireland. A letter froiu the County of Clare states, that it was four feet deep on the THE OPERA. Tow comic Opera of / duo Baron.; was repeated last night. Signora GIRBINI appears to much pester advantage in ,her propsr habiliments, than in her'short petticoat in 111tro'fte. Her voice, which is exttemely full and mellow, was in perfect order, and she gave all her songs with great effed. There have been some judicious curtailments since the Opera was first performed. The neiv Ballet called, La Fsire de Batavia, was introduced between the/VIA of the Opera as the Divertisethent, considerably curtailed ; and La Fort Encbantie' succeeded as the Ballet. Owing to the coldness of the night probably, the House was indifferently attended. THE THEATRE. I)rury.lane. The very pleasant Comedy of The jealous Wife was represented last night at this Theatre, and at. tended by a numerous Audience. An apology was made for the indisposition of PALMER, who played Major Oaky, by CtrnxLES KRMnLF : PALMER, however, played with a degree of spirit which proved that the zeal of duty can triumph over in firmity. In the course Of Ihe performance At LES KEMB LE received a hurt in his ankle, which obliged him to limp through his part. Yet we may say, that there Was nothing lame in his performance. Oakly is one of WROUGHTOWS best efforts.— In his dress, however, he was somewhat too formal, and seemed to be the family Physician. Mrs. GLOVER displayed the talents of a first rate comic AEtress in her performance of Mrs. Oak- The overbearing pride and jealousy of the chargier were not only well represented on the whole, but every part of the detail was nicely touched. DOWTON'S Rutsit is a very excellent portrait of genuine nature. The parental tyranny and the .parental tenderness were well extpressed. In the latter quality, he very deservedly excited much applause. BANNISTER improves in Sir Harry Beagle, but it is by no means one of his most successful per. formatted. When will any of our modern dramatists pro. duce a Comedy like this, which gives us represen tations of charaders in real life, not the monstrous progeny of a distempered imagination ? Mr. Cor.KAN's new Comedy for Covent.garden Theatre, so far as the Author has proceeded, has received the warmest praise from hi s li terar y Friends.-1-le is certainly a very lively Writer, and his comic produCtions excite interest as well as merriment. Th e new C ome dy expeeled from HoLcßorr is, it is said, to be intitled Hear both Sides."' It is curious that these words were but a few days ago chosen as a motto by the celebrated HATEtIiLD. The Gentlemen who were presented at the last Levee at Paris, dined on Thursday with the FIRST CONSUL, besides many Ladies ; at the head of whom was her Grace of DORSIT. About three hundred were present. However much the guests might be blown out by the honour, they were not much striffed by the food. BoNAPARTE dines -expeditiously, by the charge. step. Only twenty minutes are allowed; and some of the Englishmen, being asked if they had made a good dinner, said, they had Scarcely begun ! The Parisian Critics have not yet decided as to the comparative merits of the two celebrated Aftresses, Mademoiselle Geoeces and Mademoi selle DUCHESNOIS. One of them is said to pos sess superior talents, with a very moderate share of personal charms, vvi the other to unite very superior beauty with inferior abilities. Here the question at present tests. A Learned Critic, on rem4le Fashions, who is said to be a Female, expresses great pleasure that the Ladies "begin to think that the contour Of a fine form is better manifested through a light and grace. ful drapery, that leaves something to the imagina tion, than in one of Parisian ner.work, %hich, deal ing in proofs only, sets the foimer wholly at deft_ ante." This Female Commentator on Dress, must be supposed to have a very warm imaginati2M, and her allusion to proofs, is a plain proof chat, in the art of ensnaring the passions, she is well acvainted with the best net.n.vork. An ingenious Scotch Surgeon has, recently pub. tithed a work on the Anatomy of the Brain. The subject is interesting, and admits of a variety of die. cussions, as the texture of that substance must be supposed to be very different; in different orders of mankind. It never can be conceived, that the brains of the Beau, the Philosopher, the Politie.ian, and the Hero, arc all of the same kind. Indeed, it has been thought that it is Legging, the question to con chide that Nature provides the first of these charac ters with any any such substance'. When the Paris Papers assert, that it is owing to the Debates' in the British Parliament, that Pied mont and Italy have been menaced, and that Hel vetia has experienced a state of stagnation, that brought her to the brink of ruin, they seem to care as little for the opinions of mankind in 'general, as for those of the imfortunateCountries they mention. Did the Debates in the English Senate bring those Countries under Gallic subjugation It is hi g hl y probable that the Countries in question, could not hear more gratifying information than what would be implied 'in the menace, of being - brought under British Protedion. Jr i$ stated in a letter from Trinidad, too gentle. man in Glasgow, that that island, since the Preli. m i oar i es o f P eace were signed, has bad an increase of no less than to,ooo new settlers. On Tne:day sennight a meeting of Merchants was held. at the Guildball, at Newcastle, on the pro. pose d ex t ens i on o f t he Bonding System ; when it was r e so l ve d to apply to Government to have that Port included among those which were allowed that privilege. Yesterday the Frenchmen, who are in custody on a, charge of forging the French national currency, ondtovent a long examination before Sir RICHARD Fotto., at the Secretary of State's Office. ATROCIOUS MURDER. THE following particulars of a most horrid deed, which was committed at a small village between Marquise and Boulogne, in France, may be relied on : A written Paper, with three signatures, was carried to the house of the Mayor of this village, appointing a meeting upon business, in the evening, at a fixed place. A neighbour obseived three men at the door, and the Mayor to go out with his great-coat on, leaving at home his wile, daughter, • niece and a maid servant. Early the next morning, a nephew of the Mayor's calling, found the door open, and upon entering, first beheld the dreadful sight of the maid lying murdered in the passage ; the mother and daughter dead in one room, and the niece a corpse in another. As soon as he could recover himself from the horrid spectacle, he, with the assist ance of a neighbour, searched the other parts of the house when it appeared nothing had been taken away. The written paper was found, containing the three signatures, which induced the nephew and the neighbour to proceed to the stated place, w hen, as their minds foreboded, they discovered the unfortunate Mayor, miserably mangled. In one of his hands was a large lock of hair grasped, with a part of the skin to it, supposed to belong to one of the villains. This was taken immediately to the Municipality, who, for a few hours, embargoed all the vessels between Calais and Boulogne, and a most naive search was made. The diligences were all examined, and every one obliged to take off his hat ; but, unhapily; the men stersivere not discovered. A person arrived in Vlg• land.about a week ago, to communicate the shO6t ing ad to the English Police, in order.to trace thO villains, if they should have crossed the Channel. Tt is imagined that the perpetrators arc three Conscr iptst , and that, having left the paper, they. conceived the hartd.writing might lead to a discovery, and.there.! fore returner again to the house, to.get it back,,. which brought on the dreadful catastrophe alluded to. The Mayor was a powerful man ; he was very much cut ; and by the hair which h e a ppears to have torn from one of their heads, it is evident- . he made a stout resistance. bore an excellent charader, and was much esteemed. A considerabl e . reward was o ff ered, but w h et h er b y t h e Nephew, o,t from the Municipality, is not mentioned. • Intelligence from Calcutta, dated June Bth mentions that the East India Company's frt Mornington, had arrived at Rangoon on the May, having on board Colonel S 1 htEs, r , appointed Envoy t o t h e C ourt o f Ava. The ington encountered a severe gale of wind passage, in which she paved from the 11.1yrtt port, conveying two companies tigrenadiel composed the escort of the Envoy.

F or the last three days the waters of the . T . Ver Lea have come down w i t h unusual rApidity ; • from Waltham Abbey to Old Ford, the ditches are full to overflowing, and the marshes are deeply flouilCa in mans' ram:, so that there is hut little comintwica. tion be,ween Middlesex and Essex, except by the high. roads. On Monday night and yesterday morning, in consequence of the high wind, several ships in thc Lower. Pool started from their muorinv, seine, which were very much damaged ; a number ofliargeg, and boats were stove to pieces on both sides the River. On Monday evening, about scv.-i' o'clocki when the wind blew excessively , hard, some premises a t the back of -Mr. I:Er 's house, facing Padifington Church, occupied by Mr. 13Loc t ELo, an At turner' as a country cottage, were nearly demolishell. premises consisted of a small room and a ,ritolten , built of wood, having a chimney carried tc - ) a great: , height, to prevent sm o k e ; d ur i ng t h e vi .lenc°,;(-; the gust, the chi mney was t h rown on the root 0.: the upper room, in which Mr s . 13Lortr.

One of the children lot Ind means. to extricate herself, and wi t h grea t p i :tsence mind, thrust her hand through the win j,tw, call' ing, loudly for assistance to some men \£.l lo wet:, working in a shop across the yard : they i rnmetii 3tC " ly gt tended, but it was not without difficultY 111 ' 1 could get to the room where the mischi .tf had petted, fUr the servant being out upon ;in errandi and the doors all fastened, they were Zbliged . 1° force their way through the kitchen win dot: . : they succeeded, however, in relieving the onfortuna,!°, EtnThrers from their perilous situation.
