" Foreign Office, Jan. 25th," SHIP NEWS. HARWICH, JAN. 24.-= . -A Dutch schuyt' arrived last night with a Swedish Officer of rank, accre dited as Envoy Extraordinary from the CROWN PRINCE to, Lord. WELLINGTON, in the South of France : his missio❑ is understood to relate to the restoration of the BOURBONS. This Officer brings a considerable retinue With him, consisting of Secretaries, Interpreters, &c. Two packets have 'also arrived from Holland, and by them we have the very agreeable informa tion of a Treaty of Peace having bee❑ concluded between Denmark and this country. Mr. HILEY AADINGTON, junior, who has .been for more than a year at the head-quarters of the Allied Army, has come by this' conveyance, and is generally sup posed to be the bearer of the Treaty. He set off in a chaise and four for London, soon after his arrival. The Swedish army are on th eir way to Holland, and the advance is said to have already arrived in that Country. The CaowN PRINCE; who was at Kiel when the accounts came away, was repre sented as being particularly anxious to join the rest of the Allies in carrying‘on the glorious work of reformation, in re-establishing the BOURBONS on the Throne of Frence. The, packets. which were employed to carry over Lady CLA&CARTY and baggage, are frozen up in the N.B. deep snow. Arrived the Albion, Capt. MAY, with dispatches and passen g ers from Holland. Also arrived the Earl Leicester packet, Capt. HANnIoND, with a mail and passengers from ditto. . PLYMOUTH, JAN. 19.-Ihe Susan, COOK, which arrived here yesterday, brings an account that two French frigates were cruising off the Canaries about 25 days since, but it was ascertained they had proceeded for the coast •of Africa. Arrived the Mayflower fromPporto ; she parted yesterday with the Oporto, Lisbon, and Bermuda fleets, oil the Lizard, under Convoy of several men of wary ; the wind was then about south west ; also arrived the Portuguese brig packet from Lisbon from St. Salvadore to Lisbon with cotton and sugar, after being captured by the Eugene French privateer, and recaptured by his Majesty's ship Madagascar; and arrived at Plymouth to-day. ,PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 24.—Arrived the Crocodile frigate from Oporto, with a fleet. The Claren dou tr'ansp'ort, from Port Mfthon, sailed the 12th ult. under convoy of his Majesty's ship Bombay, having in charge seven transports, which have not arrived. MILFORD, JAN. 18.—Sailed his Majesty's ship Bittern on a cluise ; and Matchless, from Bris tol, for Guernsey.—ln consequence of the great quantity of snow which has lately fallen in this neighbourhood, the mail-roach has been pre vented from. arriving at this place the whole of last week. The Jane transport, from St. Ander°. to Pas sages, supposed to be on shore near Bayonne. The Hilton transport is lost near Bayonne. The L'Orient squadron, is said to consist of three sail of the line and five frigates. Two frigates, two brigs, and a corvette, s a il e d from Cherbourg last week. The Theseus has been paid off at dhatham, and the Orion at Plymouth. The Invincible is paying off at the latter port. BREAM—This day, at a Court of Aldermen, the LORD MAYOR and Aldermen, after inspecting the Meal-weigher's returns, ordered that an advance of 2d. in the price of a quartern-loaf should com mence on Thursday next, Five Mails from - Dublin, and nine from Wa terford, became due yesterday. With respect to internal correspondence; the letters and papers from the south-west of the kingdom `particularly, are a week in arrear. Looking then to the dates of. our foreign correspondence, our• readers will see that they have earlier intelligence from Ger many, flolland, and France, than they have from their friends and correspondents at home. This state of affairs is unprecedented in the annals of England. Seasons equally severe have, no doubt, been experienced in these climates, but they were encountered by a state of society widely different from the, present. The banking system has been diffused through the country to an incredible ex-. tent within the last twenty years, and the very serious interruption and disappointment which it suffers from the present, delay of correspondence, has, greatly embarrassed .the commercial world. Bills innumerable remain now unpaid, not because the parties are not perfectly solvent and substan tial, but because their remittances have not been received in course, according . to the int en ti on o f the parties, relying upo n the habitual punctuality and celerity of the Mails, and other means of con veyance. The Wheel is so extremely Rich, .that the odds are not very great, but that the first Prize drawn above 201. on Wednesday next, when the Lottery finishes, will receive 40,0001. ! ! In fact the chance is uow greater than was ever known be fore.- THE WEATHER. We are happy to "see the Low Ma.ToR has very prOperlY turned his attention to, the present alarm ing state of the streets in the Metropolis was . , high time that efficient measures should he taken t.. 6 remove, .or, at'least, to diminish 'the griev . unce., On Friday and Saturday it was dangerous to Walk in the City; and it was impossible to go Many paces withoutbeing shocked at the scenes which every where presented themselYes. The brutality of sothe of the men entrusted with the care of horSes, cOuld,not beviewed by men of or dinary feeling but with extreme pain, which was in a innaner aggravated by the plausible excuse which the Slow progress of the horses seemed to furnish. As, the evil is not confined to the City, we 'hope the wiSh‘to remove it will not be Peculiar to the LORD MAYOR. in very many streets the roads and pathways are so any up, that it is im pOssible to Move with any degree Of celerity, and dangerous to attempt moving at all. The phigs put down to give a supply of water, are so con structed that the greater number of those wholp to them cannot easily stop the water when they have filled their pails, &c. and the consequence is, it is suffered to run in waste. A considerable part of the street becorriee inundated immediately ; and in a few hours a sheet of ice is for Med, which might almost console those whom the snow has disappointed of ikuiting 'at the Canal and .the Serpentine. . The River Water Companies would do well to plume themselves on their efforts to afford the public superior accommodation in this.way. In . the Strand we observe sonic of the plugs have' cocks affixed to them. These, as the water can at once be turned off by those who go to them, (even when a child is sent) are much better than the others. It is ,to be hoped the public will countenance those who distinguish thems e l ves b y imprßvements like these, which at 3 time like the present," are of great utility and importance. In most of the parishes we believe those whose business it is to collect the Scavengers' and Street Cleaners': Rates, are pretty regular in the perform ance of that duty. We should like to know what excuhe they can have tor -suffering the streets to remain in their present condition ? Is it impos sible to remove snow, or are scavengers only to clean the streets atter rains ? If parishes are indictable "for not keeping the streets in tolerable order, numerous trials may shortly' be expected to take place, in consequence of the scandalous neglect almost every Where to be traced. 'When these come on. it Might to be re membered that,the fault in most cases rests with a select body of each parish, and not with the pa rishioners' at large. These Gentlemen ought to be held personally responsible for the mischief that may be done. They have the power to prevent it, and failing to do so, they ought to be punish ed. We hope souse means will be devised for making them pay for their negligence, and for putting it out of their power to indemnify them- selves by imposing a new tax on the ill used pa rishioners from whom they derive that authority, which they ought to have exercised for the com fort and security of their constituents. If those , forming the parish vestries are personally brought to justice, time public will have a little attention paid to their lives and accommodation in another whiter. Nothing can exceed the exertions of the Post Office in having the roads cleared in all di-rections for the conveyance of the mails, to and from the capital ; to which yesterday's arrival of several of the most distant mails is to be ascribed. The snow has accumulated in the Midland coun ties, particularly on the borders of Northampton shire and Warwickshire, to a height altogether unprecedented. In the neigliboilrhood of Dun church (a small village on the road toßirmitig : ham, thrOugh Coventry, and for.- a few miles round that place, 19 all directions, the drifts have exceedo the height of 24 feet, and no tracks of carriages or travellers have been discovered on the roads thereabouts, except on the great raad; for many days. On. Saturday there were seventeen coaches at Dunstable whiclv were not able 'to go forward.on account of the snow. Some of the passengers,who had left London a few days befOre, arid w.bo had calculated on reaching their destinations without much obstruction, had only .taken_ sufficient mo ney for that purpose'; ,but, in consequence of their detention at Dunstable' for several days,, they ex -- !kohl! all the money they had about them, and, we understand, were actually compelled .to apply to the parish for assistance. SUSSEX, JAN; 22;—The Market on Wednesday at Chichester, owing to the severity of. The wea ther, - was unusually thin, both of stock and buyers. Mutton fetched nearly a shilling per lb. ! A few cal ly lambs were penned, which were soon sold at a high price. Wheat 181. t 9 191. per load. Subicriptions for the immediate relief of the dis tressed, at this very inclement season, hai't been opened at all the lianks and Libraries in Brighton. Only three out of the eight coaches which left London yesterday morning for Brighton hatl. ar t . rived last night.—The Mail, cart to East Grin stead, Which left that town on, Wednesday even- . ing at 7 o'clock, entered Ashdown. Forest (about 7 miles from that town) a little after twelve, when its progress was completely impeded by the snow„ which bad drifted in many places on the ropd to the depth of Bor 10 feet. It was in one of these beds that the vehicle suddenly became immerged and all' the exertions of the guard to extricate it were unavailing. He was, therefore, obliged to take out his .horse, and with the bags, 'to return to Nuttley, where he remained until - day-light when, procniing assistance, he proceeded to the spot where the cart lay buried in the snow, from which it was, after much labour,- dug out.. • He then with great, slowness and difficulty proceeded on his journey, which,, at length, he succeeded in' accomplish,ing. CANTERBURY, JAN. 20.—Owing to the extreme heavy fall of snow in tnis county, the, roads have become nearly impassable. The London mail, in consequence, dill not arrive in this city till seven o'clock tbissuorning, o.tioiugla drawn by six lwrses. ACCIDENTS, &c. Benjamin Dunham, aged 70', a poor Man of exemplary character and sober habits,' returning to hit family., about seven o'clOck on Friday se'n night, was frozen to death, between Horlton and Barrington: He missed. his w a y i n cross i ng t he , the fields, in consequence of the snow, and being benumbed, fell. into a ditch, where he was unlble to rise. 'The most lamentable part of. the st or y is, that two workmen belonging to a farni iu Barrington Parish", diStinctly heard him calling out " Lost'. LOst !" without proceeding, to. the spot and affording him assistance. A respectable dressed man was, fouud ; lying in the road leading -froth,. Longford to Upham on Tuesday morning, frozen to death. The deceased turned out to be• a Mr. APHORNE, a grazier, at Coltsworth. lleleft HounsloW at dusk On Mon day evening, after having diank tolerably freely, ,and proposed to go that night - to Marlow. His horse was found in a field by the road-side, and ,had evidently been down. It is supposed, there fore, that the deceased was • somewhat stunned, and unable to assist himself. hie had property to the amount of 601. in his pocket, besides a watch and pocket-book, some memoradums in which led to the discovery of his name and address. On Saturday last as some boys were sliding on the river at Thorpe, the ice gave way, and two of them, wil l () were hand in hand„ were precipitated into the water. A Gentleman riding by at the time saved one boy, but the other, whose name ' N'S ; as Smith, aged 10 years, was unfortunately drowned. - _A melancholy accident happened last week Ott Garthorpe, in Leicestershire. The wife of S. Henson, a labourer, having warmed the beds for herself and family, retired to rest, leaving the pan of pit-coals burning in the room. The neigh bours observing the family were not •up at the usual time the following morning, tried to rodse them, but Without effect ; softie of them then forced the d oor opeq, %and found J. Henson, the husband, dead from suffocation, and his wife and children dangeroSsly ill; the latter, however, have since recovered. A melancholy accident .happened at South Lop ham last week :--kson of Mr. Robert Lubbock, aged 19 years, getting over a hedge with a loaded gun in his hand, it - suddenly :expl'oded, and the charge lodging in his body, he was killed on the spot. ' George Weaver, a private in the_ 13th Light Dragimps, was killed on . S•nrlay afternoon, neer Fareham,,inthe following shocking Manner : He was, with others of his troop, riding out his horse in watering order, at the same time leadinti another, the reins of the b r idl e o f w hi c h were tieri round his arm. Mien in this situation the leader took fright, dragged him from his seat and con tinued to run for more than half a mile, dragging the poor fellow All the tray. Whets disengaged his head was literally dashed ic) pieces, and he had many other severe wounds abonr the body.— Of course he was dead before taken up. As two bricklayer's men were clearing the snow from the roof of a house at Highgate, Satur day, they slipped, and both together fell ; one: came in contact with the wooden railings, the spikes of ..vhich broke into his h ea d ; one 'leg, and almoit every other part of his hod's?, was com pletely shattered to pieces ; several splinters of the wood were drawn frotti his head. The un-' happy man lingered till Sunday night, when he was relieved from his misery. The other, by es caping the tails, and, falling on the snow in the road, was not "so severely hurt; but he lies in a robst dangerous state, and but a slender hope re mains of hiS surviving any length o f ti me . Hi s wife, who is in daily expectation' of her confine ment, has, by the humanity of the inhabitants * been removed to other lodgings, that she may not know the result, should any' thing unpleasant happen. 'FIRE.—This morning a most alarming fire broke out at Messrs. CORBYN and Co.'s, Chemists and Druggists, LiolbOrn„which raged with such fury that that 0411 of 'Holborn was in the most dread ful state Of alarm. it began in the Elaboratory, and the whole of that part of the valtiable and ex tensive property was entirely destroyed; but for tunately, by the arrival t.f a number of fire' en gines, it was prevented extending to the front of the building. The loss on this occasion is to a very considerable amount. A most serious fire broke out at Portsmouth yes terday morning, about five o'clock, on the pre mises of Messrs. Hurst and Co. bisc u it b a k ers _ situated at the half way houses, and in a very short space of time consumed the entire ingti, and but for the daring and praiSe-worthy exertions of the King's artificers, and others pre sent, the whole neighbourhood, must have been reduced to ashes. No lives were lost, though many received severe bruises. All the property is understood to be insured, except that of a poor broker, who, with his wife. and seven children, escaped with their lives with great' difficulty. CORONER'S INQUEST.-11 Will be remembereAl by some of our Readers, that three persons were capitally convicted, at the Old Bailey SessiOns, of burglary and robbery, in the house of a publican, named Nedin, in the neighhourho'ott of CartiabV- Market. Some degree of violence was used upon the occasion, and a report gained much credit in the neighbourhood, that Nedin bad died in con sequenoe of injuries sustained at the hands of the prisoners. The Parist4 Officers very properly in stituted inquiry, and a Coroner's Inquest assem bled yesterday in the neighbourhood, to view the body of the deceased person. It was opened, and the usual methods taken "to ascertain the cause of death, as there was another report,' that the deceased had been poisoned. There, how ever, appeared no internal marks of violence, and asthma Was pronounced to be the cause of death. A Ourt-Martial has been held at. Sheerness, wlich,Captain Ross DoNELLY was, President, to try Captain RENW JCK , of his •Majesty's sloop. Mercurins, upon a charge of c3wardice, in not chasing a Danish bri t ; of war, on the coast of Norway. Captain It. was 'most honourably ac quitted. The trial took place at the instance the Second Lieutenant of the 'Mercurius, who is:. to be tried by a Cotut-Martial for preferring such it t charge against his Captain.
