Many valuable Ships have been lost on that Island, in the thick Foggs that surround it at certain sea sons of the year';. and what is still more lamentable, most of the Crews have perished for want of that as sistance, which the liberality, and humanity of the Government of Nova Scotia has now provided, for those who may be so unfortunate as to be ship wrecked on it. liJhfax, OR. 24, IN consequence of a sum of money granted during the last Session of the Assembly of this Province, His Excellency Sir JOHN WE NTWOR:TH, Bart. found himself enabled to attempt establishing a Settlement on this inhospitable and much-dreaded Island ; and Mr. JAMES MORK'S, of Beach-Hill, on the Wind sor Road, ( a very ingenious and enterprising man) having been induced to accept proposals which were made to him, a Schooner was chartered to carry the necessary materials to the place - pointed out for his residence. On Tuesday tho bth inst. His Majesty's Armed Brig, Earl Moira, commanded by JoNEs FAwsoN, Esq., sailed for the Island, having under her convoy the above-mentioned Schooner, laden with building materials, provisions, &c. and having on board three cows', a bull, a horse, a ram, with eight sheep, several goats, pigs, and o►lter small stock, a twelve-pounder carrunitde, six muskets, with plenty of ammunition, and a light well-built Whale boat. _ _ _ _ In the Earl Mira went Passengers, Mr. MOR- R Is, his wife, two apprentices, and two able men, engaged as Sewers : another man, engaged like wise, went in the Schooner. Contrary wiud., and the necessity of carrying an easy sail for the preser'ation of the cattle, pre vented them from arriving at the Island until the toth inst. The wind being then to the Westward, and a strong current setting to the S. E. obliged Capt. FAwsozi (contrary to his intention), to anchor on the North side ; which he did about six P. M. close in shore, to avoid drifti:z on the North-east bar. On the It th in the morning, an Officer and .welve Men were sent from the Earl Moira, to assist in hauling up the lumber, ..:yid other thins, which were ratted on shore :— . r lie sheep, a lso, were landed ; but a fresh breeze springing up at N. W. it was found impraditable to land the cattle with safety. On the I.2th, the weather being moderate, the cattle were carried on shore : and on the 13th, the provisions, and other articles, were all landed i❑ good order. Having completed this arduous and dangerous ;aet vice, , in a manner infinitely more easy and expedi tious than could have been cxreded from the ad vanced season, and other iticonveniences, Captain FA.WiON sailed from the Island on the 14th inst. leaving the whole of the adventurers, (seven in number) in good health and spirits, to encounter the fatigues incident to their situation. After encountering a heavy gale of wind on Thursday the tsth, off Canso, the Earl Moira arrived here on the. Saturday evening following. While on the Island, a large Ship, which Capt. FAwsow supposed to be the Lord Macartng, ob serving the people on shore, stood close in with the land ; doubtless, with the humane intention of re lieving those whom they had reason to suppose were poor shipwrecked mariners ; but descrying the Brig and Schooner at anchor on the opposite side of the the Ship made sail, and stood off from the shore. Capt. FAwsoN found one ‘ man on the Island, of the name of " KING," with a wife and' five children, who had been there for some months past. On the Island is a narrow pond, nearly fifteen miles in length, and navigable for a Vessel of nine feet draft of water. This pond is said to contain great numbers of lobsters, and other shell-fish, besides eels, flounders, perch, - 8:c. and in the season, to be frequented by blue-wing'i'ducks, and other wild-fowl, in abundance. The upland of the Island is covered with a kind of a sedge-grass, and an immense quantity of wild pease; and it is thought, that roots and vegetables, of almost every sort, might be raised there with much ease. The North-west and Northeast Bars, give the Island somewhat the form of a crescent ; the centre of which rises ,to a considerable height, and may be seen in a clear day, at the distance of some leagues. The part inhabited by Mr. MORRIS, and his company, has, we are told, the advantage of very excellent fresh water. YON G, who was found on the Island, declared, that he had seen upwards of Seventy wild horses in One drove. Upon the whole, there can be little doubt, but that Mr. IVLORRIS ; who, as we have observed be. fore, is a man perkily adapted to the task before him, will soon find his situation comfortable, and even pleasant, should the Government of Great Bri_ tain think proper to second the very laudable and humane efforts of this infant Province, in supporting an establishment, which, we hope, may long do honour to the inhabitants of Nova-Scotia. We have been favoured with the following ar rangements of Flags, and other regulations which Mr. MORRIS has been direfted to adopt, until some. thing more permanent and effeelual, can be esta blished : _ " There will be two Flag Staffs creded 'on the Island, one on the ltighest ground at- the East end, and the other at the West end. " - The Flag at the East end is blue, stationary, and will be visited every week, if . the weather.,per mits :it has a small box nailed to t he staff', con. tainingdirations where a Boat may be' found, and at what, part of the Island they may find the present Settlement. " The Flag that is hoisted on the high ground at the West end of the Island, has three horizontal stripes : viz. Blue, white and blue and will be hoisted at circumstances may require : the cannon will be fired when necessAry. and a good look4our kept. From this Station a view of the N. W. is perfealy distinCi." EXTRACT PROM THE MADRAS FAFERS OF MAY 16. " It is with most sincere regret that we an_ nounce the death of Capt. JOHN CAMPBELL, com manding the Light Infantry of His Majesty's 74th Regiment, son of the late Lieutenant-Governor CAMPBELL, of Fort George, N. B. ; an Officer who had signalised himself no less by his animated and intrepid condut, than by his judgment aid great possession of mind on several trying occasions. In gallantly leading the assult at Panjaiumcourchy, oa the 31st of March last, after his , brother, a most promising young Officer of the same Company, and a number of his brave Officers and men had fallen in the attack, Capt. CAMPB ELL himself rsceived a severe wound near the joint of the knee, the conse. quences of which proved fatal, and carried him off in Camp,' near Panjalumeourchy, on the 2d of this month." The title of Dieke of Cambridge, now to be re. vived in the person of PRINCE Attattsrtts, occurs frequently-in English History, having been often conferred and often lost. Its last revival was in t 70c, when the Eleaoral Prince of LIINT'ENBtIftCFI, afterwards GtoitOt 11. was created by Queen ANN Duke and Marquis of CAMBRIDCI, Earl of MIL FORDHAV ENy Viscount I\k - R.THALLERTON, and Baron TEWKESBURY. We do not know that the title of Dille of Sussex has ever been conferred be fore. Amiens has once before been the scene of I•iego tiation between England and France. Cardinal WoLseit went there in 1527, to treat for an alli ance between HENRY VIAL and FRANc ts I. , for the purpose of releasing the 'Pope, then held in con finement by CHARLES V. FRANCIS negotiated with him in person, and receivel him with Royal mmenificence. It was there that HENRY formally renounced the ancient claim of the English Monarchs to the Crown of France. An odd circumstance occurred the other day in Church, in Leicestershire. The Lord of the Manor had brought an aaion against the Parson; for shooting upon his larhis ; and imagining himself to be addressed from the desk - in the words— " 0 Lcrd forgive us our trespasses," the Squire• rose in a fUry, and swore he would see him first. On Saturday was launched from Messrs. B.R. YARD'S Yard, Deptford, a new Ship,. built for the Hon. East India Company's service, of Soo tons burthen, called the Barinl, to be commanded'by Capt. IVIEADows. She went from the stocks at half past one, in a very handsome. style, amidst the ac clamations of a verb• numerous body of spealators. The Court of Dire6tors of the East India .Com pany, have resolved to increase the rates to be paid by Nssengers proceeding to and returning froth India, for their accommodation at the Commander's ;able. The prices of White , Wines, during the last week, were, according to dome extensive sales in the city, superior Old Sherry, from 571. los. to 721. to,. per . butt, of t3O gallons ; Madeira, 521. to 621. per pipe, of t to gallons ; and Champagne, SZS. to 575. per dozen. The importation of Wheat, during the last week, has amounted to 19,234 quarters, about sOOO quar ters of Oats, and goon cwt. of Flour. We are happy to find that the discontinuance of the bounty has not affe&ed our foreign supply ; but many parts of the Continent are groaning under the weight of their late crops,- and this is almost the only country where a market can be found. In London the price of Fine Wheat has experi enced some depression during the last week, but most other sorts of grain, as well as Flour, hold their prices. William Flint, alias Lee, and job's Green, two old offenders, with several others, were on Saturday brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with di vers acts of housebreaking. Canner, the City Marshal, stated, that having information that burglaries had been committed in the City, he went to search the house of Fiint, in Shoe-lane, where they apprehended him and Green ; they found there an ingot of gold, with a melting. ladle, and several other things that excite,: suspi. cion. On the prisoner Green was found an ingot of si►ver and a watch. . _ Mr. Aldridge, Deputy of Aldersgate \Vard, stated, that an ingot of gold had been stolen from his flat ting mills, which corresponded in weight with the ingot produced. The coachman and footman of IVIr. Dawson, of Walnut-tree.walk, Lambeth, swore to the. watch, and stated, that their master's house' had - bien brake open on the night of the 13th, when.. his watch, the plate, and even the silver bands from their hats were taken away ; and that the ingot.t.,f silver found upon the prisoner, corresponded weight with the spoons taken away, they being 'up wards of sixty-five ountes. Green said, this silver was dollars he had melted down ; but on an assay being made, it, appeared that the silver cf the ingots was of a quality .supe rior to that of dollars. Flint. and Green were then fully committed to take trials for bur r glary. -The other persons being yoUng in the busi 7 tress, were discharged. One of them was a boy not 54. years old, who at the age of zz had been capi_ tally convicted of a burglary, but pardoned - and Sent to the Philanthropic Society, from which place he in44e his. escape. He begged to be taken . back ag)iin to this Society. . On Saturday some Sailors, after receiving their money at Somerset-house, hired a coach, which - was loaded in and outside L—rwo men and a woman on the roof fell upon the pavement in the when one had his leg broken, the other was greatly bruised, and the woman's skulk was fraaure3.— They . were taken to St. Bartholomew's Hospital. They had a great deal of money aboUt them. On Saturday two men, residing in Leather-Lane, were convicted before the Magistrates at Hatton_ garden, in having taken illegal insurance in the present Irish Lottery, and were committed to the /louse of Correction for two months.. LAW' REPORT. , COURT OF llN'G's BkINCH, Nov. :t. THE KING again!! THE INHABITANTS OF WEUCI.27. THIS was a Case from- the Sessions ; and the question was, Whether x Pauper of the name of Robert Williams, had becornr an inhabit or of Weoblcy, so as to gain a settlement, by being rated ? Mr. Guilts said, that the Case stated that the Pauper, Robert Williams, being - an ()dicer of the Excise, and an inhabitant of Weubley, was rated to the Land -tax, but it appeared by the evidence, that he never paid the rate, the same being paid by the Collator of the Excise, and not dedotted out of the Pauper's Salary ; whereas, Mr. Gs ass con tended that to gain a settlement, a man' must not rated, but be must also pay the rate. This man never did pay the rate though he was rated, therefore, he submitted to the Court, there was nu question in the case; there were indeed cases where a person of this description having been rated with the Land-tax in virtue of his salary, and having paid the rate had been held to gain a Settlement, although paid afterwards back to the person by the Collator ; but here the _payment of the fare by the Pauper was absolutely negatived, and there fore he could not gain c Settlement. Mr. GA RRO W submitted that this rating was SlaCient to gain a Settlement. Lord Kr V YON observed that this money on which the Pauper was rated, did not come out of his Salary, so that be was not affeEted by this rare; the payment by the Collector was nothing to him, His Lordship added that the Court could not do better than abide by the Provision of die Aft of Parliament which governed these Cases, and which provided that to gaiva Settlement a person must - be rated and pay the rate—" rated and paying rates," were the words of the At of Parliament. Indeed if this were a question -of the first impression, on the meaning of the Statute, he should incline to think,' that bzing rated to the Land-tax would not gain a Settlement at all, for . the meaning was, that those only should gain Settlements by the:payment of the rates, who paid Parish rates, and he knew not how to call an assessment upon the Land-tax, a Parish rate. He thought that Settlements had thus been improperly held to have been gained, but as there were Cases in which it had been so held, it would be: better not to stir that question now. But in this Case the Pauper had been rated, but had not paid ; and notAI - laving paid the rate, he had not gained a Settlement. The rest of the Court were of the same opinio.ii. THE KING I:. SMITH. The ATTORNEY GENERAL prayed the Judg• ment of the Court on Thomas Smith who had been tried some time ago, and convicted of the misde. tneantnir of bringing a vessel called the Charkttr Maria into Harbour or Porn after there was an Order of His Majesty in Council that she should perform Quarantine, for Nvhif.th there is a Penalty by the Star. of the 38th of Geo. lIZ. cap. 33. sec. 2. of r 001. Mr. Justice GRosE therefore addressed the De fendant as follows :—" Thonias Smith, ,you have been tried and convicted upon a very salutary Aa of. Parliament, which must be carried into execu tion, and which was passed for the best of tll pos sible purposes, which is, to prevent the dangerous disorder of the Plague being communicated to per. sons within this Kingdom, by bringing Ships into Harbour that are ordered to perform Quarantine. It was for the Jury to say whether you did or did - not bring the Ship of which you wvere Pilot, within the limits of the Port or Harbour in question ; and they have decided by finding you guilty. it appears also by the evidence, that you were warned "gainst bringing in the Vessel, and there can there. fore be no doubt that you are a fit object of the punishment specified by thiS Ad of Parbainent.—.. With regard to that punihment we have no discre tion, and therefore this Court doth order and ad judge, that you do pay to the King a Fine of tool. and that you be further imprisoned until such Fine be paid." THE KING 'V. HART AND ANOTHER. The ATTORNEY GENERAL moved the Judgment of the Court on William Hart and John Robinson, who, together with one Henry Ray, who was not • taken, had been charged in an Information filed by the ATTORNEY GENERAL with obstruaing Officers 'J f the Revenue in the execution of their duty, and of which Hart and Robinsun were convicted. It appeared that there were z 6 out of 3o casks of smuggled spiti:s secured by the Officers, but That there had been a desperate scuffle for it. The ATTORNEY GENERAL reminded the Court that the Defendants attempted to support themsel;ies at •the trial by the most shocking Perjury. Lord KENYON said, that the Jury. held they thought the whole of the evidence offered on the part of Hart, which went to prove an Alibi, was perjury. His Lordship then added, '' It has been ver,o often "inculcated into the minds of these Smug glers, and other persons who bring 'forwards in their behalf, Witnesses to commit perjury, they deserve themselves severe punishment, and--th;tt must be remembered in this Case," THE KING MY. HOLMES. The ATTORNEY GENERAL prayed the Judgment of the Court Un Thomas Holmes, who was also convicted of assaulting an Officer of Excise, in• the due execution of his duty. Upor reading. the affidavit on behalf of the De. fenciant, it appeared that several persons of ap parent respeEtability had joined in giving him a good character, some of whom had signed a 'cer tificate of it. The ATtORNRY GENERAL took occasion to ob serve, that the Defendant had suffered judgment! to pass by default, by which means he had contrived to keep out of view much cf the atrocity of his case ; for one person who knew the most of it, hart refused to make an affidavit of the circumstances of aggravation, and he could not be compelled to do st.); whereas, had the Defendant gone to trial, that
