Next day, - , two o'clock, A. M. having got into shoal' water, 1 1 ,,ttd being apprehensive of Of again getting no shore, they anchored the ship.

CALAMITY AT MADEIRA. A Private Letter to a most reVeAable ouse in 1 the City of London, from Mr. Mt9taA•,''Turrnerly ViCe Consul at Matieirti but now of Lisburn, com_ municates some imporrant ,Particulats. By-it' - we find, that . the consequences of this disastrous event have not beets so great as we were.led.to think, and that PrOvidence has, in a More particular manner, favoured the persons and effeas of the British Factors settled there. • This Leiter states,, that oti the niiht.of the,9th of October last, a torrent rushed down' froni the mountains on the town of Panchal, the capital of Aft island of Madeira With irresistible violence, bearing every tiling before it in its passage, ro'the tea. The bed of the river:tot being Capable of containing tins increase of Water, bee:l-flowed on each side to a considerable extent, and swept away three a its bridges, and a magoifid'ent Chtirch.' Mansions, ware: hotiseS', • inhabitants, cattle, and effeets of all sorts, Were indiscriminately involved,in this resistless ele ment., and hurried to the ocean. •The streets of two-thirds of the town were coMplefely inundated ; in most places the water reached to the first toot. The darkness of the might,, the rush and roar of , the waters, the cries of the ,stifferet s, the terror •of all, formed such a sterie as may with great dlfEcultyl be conceived, 'but, Mocks all polders of des:caption. Towards morning, hoWever, ,the violence of , the torrent' abated ; and towards the noon of next day had nearl y subsided. Every exertion was now made to ascertain the extent of the mischief, and-to relieve • the distresses of those to whom relief could be given. , The Letter trona Mr. Slay, oar Vice-Consul at Lisbon, has the followink remarkable passage : •9 The particulati of this calanity ate' unknown' litre, as theatvernot of Madeira Would nut sulfa the vessel 'by which he forwarded his , dispalches, tb cb'dtrey any private letters.". , • . One English family alone, of the battle of TAT. Lotw,:are have:suffered . . ; . • The ftiendspf' Mr. COCK, 'the Vice• Consul, rejoice to hear, that although his louse and • &torts were entirely swtpt away, yet that he and his no. merous family have all, though with' extreme difh culty, most prOvidentially escaped. Nor is' there mention of r o sy other Englith family buying suffered , in the slightest degree'. . Mr.SICEV's letter-stAtessenerally-the number of who.perishici to have been about a thou sard ; Mt. MUiRAY's much lets; so that, it we suppose:the whole number to be about Goo or 703, it wilt 'probably be near the truth. The Vast aggregate of , water. is conjedured to have been produced by. the-bursting of a water:. Spout in the moitnrains (an accident not unfrequent) for although it'. had 'rained 'tin the day of,• and on that preceding the event, yet the quantity which had fallen was not at'aillufficient to ptorindi each a flood. A pretty' considerable . village, ,whielt lapin the course of the torrent,. is raid' to have been - en tirelyaitroYed ; 'Uinotig whose inhabitants the Bri tish Merchants at• all cunneded or adqugintel with Madeira,' will partiiiilarly 'have to lament , -Mr. Tzt.LE . it,Merchant anti Proprietor of;thogreatest integrity 'and private worth. ' Those Most conversant iri the \Vine Trade of the Island; in London, agree that Very little mischief hey been done in that-mg - pea. The Vintage having been all, got in, much of it consigned and shipped stores - - generally en the higher part Of the' Town, - entirely out al• the teach of the water; consequently out of the tii'vediOn which it. is stated to have takeh in coming floin the mountains.

A number of journeymen bake 6 were apprehended yesterday and lodged in prison, charged with corn. bination ; which, by a late Mt of Parliament, stab. leas the puties concerned to very heavy penalties.

Army, whether the re. gular force or those, whose hereditary, .courage was roused for sits protection, so as to reduce them hi . 'their own opinion, dr in the opinion of their foes,. or any of their neighbours, by scandalous misre. presentation. ,This was indeed the.only sureway of...rendering such force formidable only to those whom.it is their duty to proted.. Mr..Gaititow theri proceeded to state the circumstances of the libel, of . which he said this Magistrate was the author. It was contained in a letter *written, to Mr. York*, the late. Secretary at War, on the 7th day of July last, upon.a subjed.which occurred, as the autlige: of the letter stated,; so long ago as the Year - aSot. It charged these Officers, while they were enearupeg in Essex, with most outrageous condud by theM. selves and,men : that they had spotted, in the field fur game amongst: the standing corn, had fished ia Gentlemen'it ponds, committed great havoek, ried away fish', &c. &c. charging them with.little less than felony, Ste. All„ Mr. GARnow said, was Most positively denied by these Gentlemen, as the Criurt might .naturally even. This charge was maliciously rustle, he said, on account of some threats the author said he had received, ' &c. • This motion was taken aye with grev pirit, fur Mr. ERSICINI. Mr. GI pus, and joust of the Gen tlemen within the Bo were retained in it. The Court, however, deblined interkting, since however libellous the matter of this letter no 4 lit be. upon these honourable persons, it did not appear to the Court that the,letter was not written, however mistakenly, in the, spirit of information and in telligenceinstead ofcalumny. For if it was tvritten as an article of information, however unfounied it might he, the Court would not interfere in this ex. traordiriary Manner, because that would be ro i stop up all channels of communication which' Might be made in'conlictence in any case. Not that the Court meant in the most distant degree to convey any idea there was any foundation for what had been bete stated. The Court was the less disposed to inter : . fere in this case, as these parties had their remedy by indietment. 41N••••.••*• xtNo jottN,LTTTLik. The Defendant was brought in. to receive the . judgment of the Court for having endeavoured to provoke John Thurston, Esq. of Lewes, to fight a duel. This insult arose froM the circumstance, of Mr: Thurston having .given his evidence at the , Assizes at Horsham, in. a cause in which he was suhrcenaetfas.a Witness, and in which Mr.J.,ittle • Was 'Charged with assaulting another person. On which occasion, the Defendant had sent for the Pro secutor, charged him with having been the instiga. tion of thin' ausiness ; whertMr. Thurston assured the Defendant, that he, was not,;, on which the De.., fendant said, that ho :Wils a scoundrel ; that lie wanted.no law, but wished the Prosecutor to take notice of the words. in a gentleman:dike manner, &c. Upon which case, Mr. Justice Garise saidiseahould make one oh. nervation which was, that, the Prosecutor had taken, notice of the words of the Defendant in a true.' Gentleman-like Mantierilf by Gentleman-like roma ner'wai to be understood obedience' to the Law, tentiort to the rules of decorum, and a desire.to pre. vent the eff'usi'on of human bloOd. To have done otherwise might have stamped on the Defendant or on himself the charaoer of a murderer, and if the Defendant had provoked, as he -intended to provoke . the Prosectitorto.fight a duel; the Defendant might either* have lost his life in the Confliet, or his future life knight have been entbittered by the , refiedion that he had shed the blootbof a bran who had never. injured him. In hit forbearance to accept that challenge, he had thewn that he was a true Gentle.. man, unless it was the only way to assert the cha.. meter of a Gentleman to assume that of a isiluederer t for, undoubtedly, had this challengerbeen aCcepted, `andone had fallen, the. charger of Murderer would have been fastened uport the survivor. It was most unfortunate that some men would not remem. her ,this undeniable truth, which•wasi that he best” deserves the eharatier of a'Gentleman, who is not prone .to take offence. and .never means to give it. Having made softie comments upon the ,facts of this case, and alto on the impropriety,of treating with violence persons who only do their duty accOrtting to the exigencies of justice, as the Prosecutor did in this case, It thing insufferable in society, - The Learned joage pronounced the Judgment of . the COW; which was, that the Defendant do pay • to the" King a fine of ten marks, and, be imprisoned in the King's ,Bench prison fur twelve calendar, rnonths, and, find sureties for his - gond behdttiour for three years, - himself in 3001. and tvvo Sureties in ;001, each, and that he be further imprisoned until .144 tine be paid, and such security given, THE KING 11.
