SliErßkEsS, Atidtst is YtiVIRDAY tom KIM( having the day before been to visit the Signal Posts at Whitstable, crossed over to South End, from whence he proceeds to Colchester, to commune with the General co.M manding the Essex bistrid. His Lordship, after performing that duty, intends to proceed to Yar mouth, from whence he returns along the Coast to Shewboroughness, where one of his Tenders, or from South End, is in waiting to bring him over to this place, as may best suit the wind and tide. This day the Hawke and Sloan Cutters, two very fine Vessels, %% ere surveyed, and will, with. out loss of time, be put into Cotntnission as Aimed Hired Cutters. The Sperdwill Brig will he coppered to.morrow, and will in a few clays be commissioned, and turned out of Dock, where she has undergone a thorough repair, This day arrived at the Nore from the River Thames, the Cshisus, of . 74, guns, Capt. GEORCR MARTIN ; a l so t h e Magieu nn e, of 36 guns, Capt. M`KaNzit, from the River Medway. Late on Saturday night arrived at this Port in the jackal! Gun brig, Capt. DAVID MILNE, and about 100 of the. Seine's crew, lost on a Sand Bank on !the . 21st of July on the coast of Holland, occasioned by, it is thought, the ignorance of the Pilots, there being two on board ; the rest 61 his people were distributed in Admiral THogissoitooGieit Squa dron off. the. Time!. C a p t . Muss, after every effort (on his own part and that of his Crew) that could suggest itself to a Seaman's mind, to get his Ship off, was at length bblige3 to set her on fire, to prevent her falling into the Enemy's hands, who were preparing Gun.boats to attack and take p issession of her. It is a plea. sure to relate, that not a single life was lost in this unfortunate business, though the sea ran very high, while Captain Ivr...ti-Nt, who last quitted his Ship, saw the people removed to two small neutrals which he had fortunately secured before he set the Ship on fire, and which they saw burn down to the water's edge. The Crew, during their unparalleled exertions to save and get nff the Ship, and afterwards, observed the most high and praiseworthy state of discipline. Yesterday orders were received to embody all, the Artificers of the Dock, under their proper Officers. Sheerness, by having some excellent 13:tthing Machines lately put on its beautiful pebbly beach, is becoming a place of some, note as a water. ins place.

Titi High Bhetiff, J, P. kettsttsertots, Esq. opened the business in a most able and impressive nimnper, and then read the Address proposed, which . was moved by .Lord OttsLow, and seconded by Lord. W. RmsELL. Mr. Famscts expressed his assent and approbation. Sir THOMAS TURTON dwelt, with some sharpness, on an expression of Lord W. RussELL's, viz. that his opinion was still that the War 'had been unnecessarily entered into. Sir THOMAS also ridiculed the idea of the Capital or Country being in 'danger. This drew from Mr. SHERIDAN a most anitnnetV , and forcible reply, which he commenced by. vinditacipg Lord W. RUSSELL, although he differed with him as to the sentiments he had expressed.' Mr. SHE. IDAN concluded a Speech of uncommon energy and impression, amidst the loudest bursts of . approba. tion. Several other Gentlemen delivered their sen. lithents; Mr. BOTH AM spoke with great force; he highly complimented Mr. SHERIDAN. He wished his speech of that day could have been heard from one end of the kingdom to the tither. The Lord Lieutenant, Lord OwsLow, said, that Since he had .known Surrey, where party feelings had so long existed, he had never witnessed so happy a day as this of cordial and patriotic unani. mity. Ile from his heart, concurted.in the praises bestowed on Mr. SHERIDAN ; every word he had uttered was worthy of being written in letters, of Old, He wished every man, from the highest to the lowest in the 'County, had Dien present. The Address was. carried unanimonsly, and Thanks to the High Sheriff, moved by Lord Lents, and seconded by the Hon. W. BOUVERIE, passed with equal unanimity. The Meeting then brnke up, with feelings of the warmest 'and most patriotic zeal, .in the great cause fur which they met. YORK COUNTY MEETING. most numerous and respelable Meeting of I the County of York, ever known, was held on Thursday last, when an Address was agreed to unanimously, to be presented to the KING, assuring His MaJerre of the firm support of the County of York, in the present crisis. The Address was moved by Mr. FRANK, and seconded in an admir able speech by Mr. Fels/ices, in which he condemned the tyrannical attempt of the Chief Consul to de. strny the Liberty of the Press in this Country.— Mr. LASCELLES made an able speech, in which he depicted the cruelties of the French and the Chief Consul. Mr. Tient. execreted those who would not csme forward in defence of their Country. Mr. Wteseestottee argued to shew the great probabi. lity that Invasion would take place, and the danger of not being prepared it. Lord M ULGRAvu congratulated the Meeting on its spirit and unani. reit), in a speech full of sound sentiments. Mr. STANHiIE spoke in a stile of such plain good old English, that we must give the following Extrad from the report of his Speech in The York H e r a ld, where the whole hrecccdings are ably given 6 . , We, by rids Addresi, publicly and solemnly, be .fore GOd 'and our Country, pledge our fortunes, per. sons, anti lives in the Defeace of our Sovereign, and au the blessing, of ourgi Consti tut ion. There is not a man that heart. me, I am persuaded, who is not prompt and eager, to redeem that pledge ; there is not, there cannot be, a man here who wou ld leave undefended our good, trie,i, and brave old KIN( in the h stir of danger. No, Sir, we need now on warreog voce; no string of eloquence ; tin thoughts hat heat, and words that burn, are 'necessary to raise a hos t o f hardy mei., when the King, the Parliament, and the Co. wry are in distress. .Cail our to Yorkshire. men, 64 Come forth to battle," our answer will be, one and all, " We are ready—shew us the Ene my—lead on."—Sir, that Enemy is not far off ; a very numrtons, Kell appoieted, ably commanded Army, to whom is pee re i ss e t h e 0 3 ,,d er o f g rig i„„d, are now hovering round, and p art of them in daily sight of the promised land. They view it like as m any latnishrd solve , , mans death and hungry as the grave, paeting for an opportunity, at any risk, to come into our sheepfold ; : and if they should, is it not our business, our first duty, in have such a guard of old faithful English Mastiffs, of the old breed, as shall make them quickly repent of their temerity ? The Cult, CONSUL of France Cell's us, that we are but a nation of Shopkeepers; let us Shopkeepers then melt our weights in our scales, and return him the compliment in bullets. Sir, we may have a firm reliance on the exer tions of as gallant a fleet as ever sailed; but that fleet Cannot perform impossibilities ; it cannot be in two places at once; it cannot conquer the winds and subdue the storms ; though our old Tars C3ll do much, ,they cannot du every thing ; and would be unsafe and dastardly to lie skulking behind them. With the blessing of God, and a good cause, we can do wonders ; but if we de. pend upon our naval prowess only, we have much to f e e s ,—No, Sid—England will never be per. Italy safe, until she can defend herself, as well by land as by sea ; until she can dety the haughty tOe : if there was even a bridge between Calais and Do ? vet, and that bridge in possession of the Enemy, still she can say, in the language of a good English boxing match, " a fair field and no favour." The Noblemen and Gentlemen of the County of Fife, at a very numerous and respeaable Meeting held on the aoth inst. unanimnosiy voted a inpil and spirited Address to figs MAJESTY in support of the War. On Wednesday se'nnight, as IWarriciii Towri. SHIND was driving his open chaise, hts horseta took fright in a thtinticr.storni, when his Lordship, in extricating himself from the carriage, sprained his foot, which has produced a fit of the gout, and his Lordship is now confined. Last week apt the • Marquis of WORCESTER Was reviewing his/ Regimenr ar Winchester, his horse took fright,and threw him with such violence against the ground, that his Lordship was speechless for several hours ; he has received a severe curituiion on the head. The' atepa accounis from Winchester lust night, state his Lordship in a lair way of se. cove:y.. • 'MR. WILLIAM wOOIjPALL4 We feel math Concern in mating that' this re sixttable veteran of public literature. died yestet- Oay morning, in his fifty-eightn year, at his house in Queen-street, Westminster. He wds a *cry worthy man, and a truly loyal subject. His sense of public duty, indeed in all. points, was a para. Mount consideration in his mind. He was the chief founder of the public print entitled The Morning Chronicle, which he concluded with great zeal and assiduity for several years, which was never contaminated in his bands bey .unconstitutional dottrines, nor by any of that .tihaldry which too often disgraced the papers of .the :day.—To his efforts the people, of this. country, are in a great de. gree indebted for that open communication of Par liamentary Proceedings which has at length obtain ed the sandion of the Legislature, except in points on which the situation of national affairs may re quire a discussion confined to the Representative Body. Mr. WOODVALL's powers of recolledion in re. cording the debates were very extraordinary, for he was able to do more by the Unassisted elf irts of his memory, than other reporters of acknowledged ta. lents Could etre& with the aid of short-hand notes. He was always attached to the Stage, and was a sound judge of dramatic composition and theatri cal ability. He always gave a fitm support to the prOper authority of the Managers of our `Theatres; but when any Performers thought themselves ag. grieved, he was at all times ready to assist them with his counsel, or to support them with his ta lents if they had right on their side. Indeed, his good-natured zeal, in this respea, has often in dueed him to put aside matters of importance to himself and his family. A more steady andperse. veting friend never existed. There never was a mote affeelionate husband and father, and his sense of relative duty induced him to' take under his pro teelion any branch of his family 'that stood in need Of his help. There were as few errors in his charaCter, as are to he found in most men, with more virtues than the generality possess; and his chief fault was an excess of good nature that prompted ,himto labour in the cause of others, even to a negleft of himself. He abounded in anecdotes, and was well acquainted with most public charataers who have made any figure in this country for the last forty years. Few men will drop into the grave more beloved by their families, and more regretted by their friends. The neighbourhood of Ealing has proposed to raise a Volunteer Corps. The offer has been ac. cepted, and the DUKE of KENT h to be the Com.. mander. The Corps will be 1000 strong, of whom 400 are already enrolled. The Earl of MOUNT. NORRIS is the Drill ‘Serjeant. On Sunday last, at the village of Chigwell, in Essex, after church, Soo fine young men enrolled themselves as VOlunteers. The day of review of the City Light Horse is not fixed, but they will have a grand field.day be. fore Lord HARRINOTOS I in Hyde Park, on the /sth, 1 - -h e Gentlemen in the neighbourhood of Knowle, w h o are now raising a Corps, have aleil very judi. ciously by requesting Lord WHITWORTH to take the command of it : his Lordship being every way qualified for such a situation, as well from his know. ledge of Military Duty, as from his influence in that part of the Country. Th e East India Volunteers acquiwd themselves so we lt lir their late review before the Earl of HAtt. R INOTOis) that he pronounced them one of the very best Volunteer Corps he had ever seen. Earl FtrzwlLLlAra has raised two Troops of Yeomanry Cavalry, in the city and neighbourhood of Peterborough, to he under his Lordship's command ; and has also plated the sum'of sool. against his name, at the head of the subscription for the purpose of establishing the Cot ps. A Meeting of the Inhabitants of Turton.upon- Trent, was held on Monday sennight, when a sub scription of near one thousand pounds was entered int?, for the pUrpose of raising -a Volunteer Corps to serve in any part of Great Britain in case of alual Invasion; and upwards of zoo men were enrolled in the course of the day. It is the intention of Government to construe Barracks round the whole of the Sussex Bay, from Beechey Head to Selsea. The building Contratlor has left town with three hundred Carpenters, and twenty ship-loads of timber will be forwarded irn,. tnediately. Several Innkeepers in Scotland have determined to put their horses and carriages at the disposal of Government, for the conveyance of Troops in case of Invasion. We, trust that an example so patriotic will be followed by the same description of People in, England, who can,. at least,,,as, well afford it. It was stated, some days since, that Tile FIRST CONSUL grolsly insulted M. MARCOPS, The Russian Ambassador, AS• Paris ; it is now said that M. MARCO?? heard, with the utmost coolness, the invective uttered with indescribable volubility by the FIRST CONSUL, and which was• accompanied with such frantic gesticulations of rage and anger, that in one of his flourishes, his cane absolutely came in eautaa with the person of the Aanbassatior, though evidently without being inreAri, When he had _finished, M. MARCOS? replied with great firmness and deliberation, Sir, .this language you would not have held, but from the consideration ,of my Master being at such a distance, 'that you con. CCITe yourself out of his reach—But know, Sir, that he has both the power and the will to overwhelm you, and to set France free."
