INTELLICZNCE has been received that the Brest Squadron sailed ori t'ne 15th inst. for its destination. The Squadron at Flushing was also to have sailed few days ago, with orders to join the EXpedition from Brest, in a particular latitude. A dreadful hurricane was experienced at Leghorn on the zest ult. nine of the Vessels in the roads broke from their anchors, and went on shore near the light . -house. One 'of them was the Triton, Danish - Frigate,. of 3o guns and zoo men. Several dead bodies were thrown ashore.

The principal subjeEt of complaint is, that the latter afted unconstitutionally in making ap plications to a Foreign Government. The Chapter of the Order of Malta, which was tb meet at Vienna, has been:deferred. It is ex. petaed that Baron FLACIISLAND will have the suf_ frages of the Languages of .Bohemia, Bavaria, and Germany, for his clediori to the dignity of Gratid Master. . . .

From Brittyri learn, that the. Scheldt has O':erflowed in several parts : several other rivers:of Belgium, swelled by the excessive rise of the waters, have also overflowed,../Ind have caused great inunda. tionx. Fields; and even villages, are under water. The frost; which commentedjestetday, gave us hopes that the effects, of the inundation will not be more dististrotis: We are informed from.Peenyrip; of date the lid, (DEC i 3,) that the American Ship Felicity, of i 54 tons iprthe 1, Captain JOHN KINO Commander, from Baltimore; which, she : left Nov. sth, laden with eoffe4, cotton, Vittinia tobacco, and logwood, 4 'und to Feel:7llp, was wrecked at six o'clock in the evening of that day, to the West of the Port ; luckily none of the people were lost, and it is hoped that the cargo will be saved. " - Pa.amA, Nor. 17.----We are under the greatest uneasiness on account of the extraordinary rise of -the Pot The bed of this river, from Piacenza to it s junainn with the Adriatic, is eight. or ten feet higher than the level of the adjacent country, and Would constantly lay it under water, but for the 'Works raised by act: In the months of October i gi and .. 1.79i, thete was a great inundation of the Pa, because the mound on its left bank broke two leagues' above Piacenza. The waters inunda ted several villages in an extent of eight leagues ; threw 'down houses, laid waste the manufactures, and. divided the mad from Milan to Piacenza. — That misfortune, though a very great one, was still inferior to that which took place in 170 s ; but the yi(ilent and incessant rains that prevailed froth the 27th ult. to the 3d inst, and those which have sue-. ceeded since, at• intervals, have produced a rise of • 20 inches beyond .that which took place at the be ' ginning of the last century. : Frightful has been the devastation : the three Borgim of Mezanci, - situated between the river of Parma and the Po,. hiv e -been twelve feet under water. Coperrnio, one. mile below Colierno, inhabited by the Infant, has also been under .water. Lazari has been inun . dated, and all the rivers which ustiallY, empty themselves into the Pu have quitted their beds and overspread the plain. The town of Guasralla is in . the midst .of an inundatioti l which the Crostolo threatens still to increase. Ibis dreadful state of affairs lasted a week, during ,which time all com munication from one side of the Po to the other became impracticable, and our peasants were oc.: cupied in preventing the .breaking of the dykes in other parts, and in saving the inhabitants and the cattle ; but yesterday morning the river began to fall i, and, in the evening, we could go from Milan to Piacenza. We learn also that the Milanese has expetienced great damage by the overflowing of the rivers, . What we, know already of the injury done to the Infant's States, makes us fear for the other parts of Italy. MILAN, DEC.

He was also recugnized by some Gentlemen who knew Mr. WILLIAMS.. They gave him a' very favOurable charatier ; said that he was the son of a respedable Gentleman, who left him a handsome sum ; and that WILLIAMS himself had been an Army Agent. It appeared, however, that he had been very prodigal of his property ; came to London for the purpose of improving his deranged finances, and that instead of accomplishing his wishes, he fella viaiin to Sharpers and Black Legs, the misery of Which urged him. to his dreadful catastrophe. • Their Bath Majesties, RICHARD TYSON and JAMES KING - have bicen lately addressed, through the medium cfa Public Print, to exert their authority in the expulsion of certain Upstart Tradesmen of Bath from their Dominions of the Public Rooms. A Gentle man states, that these exceptionables have mixed with the People of Fashion, and-that one, at a Public Assem bly, had the impudence to ask a young Lady of family to go down a dance with him.; and that this young fellow had, that very morning, been waiting on the said family with an assortment of ribbons and laces, &c. Ste. The father of the Lady, in his remon strance to their Bath Majesties, mentions it as an immemorial .custom, that " the Ball-rooms of Bath are open to the well-dressed Stranger from every part .of the Globe, and to its independent inhabi tants, andprolessional residents ; but that,the trad ing. part of the City, however reputable, should never presume to enter theM." A few nights since Mr. Blanchard, of Norwood, was robbed of what money he had about him by. three footpads, on Herne Hill, Lambeth : -the first that attacked him he knocked,down ; but the others oyerpow . e x red him, thinking that he had a kribw--. ledge of them, drew a knife and proposed Cutting. his.throat, that he might not tell any tales :.their intention was frustrated by a man on hOrseback providentially coming up at the instant, when the villains made a precipitate retreat. • La Ruse, Bienvenu, - from Guernsey to die West Indies, has`put back to_Guernsey after having been, at sea twentv-three, days,. lost-.five men and her boats, and received much damage in her hulk and riggbig. !LAM REPORT': COUILT OF 'CHANCERY.

EL i- ZABETELBAiIIUItbTy a Ward of the Court. Mr. WOODAN . preferred an Affidavit in his Behalf, is . which he - Stated; that he had bea apprenticed to a respeflable tradesman of.. the name of Walsh, at - Plymouth that 6e had duly served the peri64 of hiS alipienticeShip, and was now of - the .age of 23 ,years ; that his father was a man Of property, and had retired from business', possessed of lands - and tenements . to a Considerable . amount ; that in the montli of February last he beedme acquainted with Miss BA:il-lint ' ST, whoSe father in his life-time Was an eminent bookseller in London ; that . a mutual attachment was the Consequence of their acquaintance ; that they determined to marry, and 'to accomplish their design, went to the Island of Guernsey, where they were married by a Clergy . Man Of that place. He added, that he had some reason to believe Miss BA-rautiST was a young Lady of property, but • did not know she was, a Ward Of Chancery, or possessed of the sum of 36,0001. The CHANCLLOR said, he understood Mr. WOorviAN's father and brother had• assisted his elopement with Miss BATHURST, and accompanied them to Guernsey. This he conceived had the ap pearance of a family concern. His Lordship or dered Mt. WoonNIAN to stand committed to the Fleet, till. the, Master should report on the fidand circumstances of his marriage ; and he assured him, if he suffered his wife to visit him, it would consi derably protraft the period of his imprisonment.— He also said, if his father and brother should appear to have been implicated with him, he should like wise commit them to the Fleet. Mr. WOODMAN was then conveyed to the Fleet. COURT OF KING's BENCH, DEC. 24. SITTINGS BEFORE LORD NE:tIYON AND A SPECIAL JURY AT GUILDHALL, 'LONDON. Stv BAAL causes stood in the Paper, for the day, but two of them were referred. In one there was no record, And in 'the other the record was with. drawn. One was ordered to stand over on the ab_ sense of a material Witness Lord 42NYON observed, there were many causes remaining untried, and therefore it appeared to him to be tight there should be some Sittings be. fore the next Term, in order that the parties con. cerned in these causes, should not ,be disappointed in their expedation in having judgment of the last Term. His Lordship expressed his readiness to accommodate the suitors of the Court with' two, or, if necessary, three days sitting before the next Term, for.his objet was to prevent, as much as he was able, the delay of Justice. The businesS of these Sittings had been uncommonly heavy and laborious, they could not now be carried further, and there fore he thought it would be well to appoint the zoth, ztst and zzd of January 'fot Sittings to try the causes that now remained. Mr. PARK said, he believed it would not be ne cessary to' haie three day's allotted for this *pur pose, two would be sufficient ; and he submitted that they should be the Zist and the •21d. • Mr. LOW:EN, his Lordship's Associate, sug gested, that it would be sufficient, for the present, to appoint the . 2ISt) . and the Sittings might be con tinv4l the following day, if necessary ; which Was ordered accordingly, and therefore the Sittings will be at this place" on the 2 Ist of January next, at the usual hour of ,nine in the morning. HUGHES V. LORD GROSVENOR. This was the only cause opened this day, and which was opened byMr. Glass on the part of the Plaintiff, and evidence, given, and opened also on the part of the Noble p e fendarit by Mr. Ex_ SKINS. It was an a6tion brOught on the balance of accounts, as they stood between Mr. Hughes, the Plaintiff, Mr. Lang Worthy, who was agent for Lord Grosvenor, in his thineral and lead concerns. It was at last agreed, that the whole question in dispute should be left to the determination of Mr. VAUX and Wir:l3-altwgLL, who, of course, are to chuse a third, if that should be necessary. • The Sittings were then adjourned to the 2 1st of January, 1802. re wouni spa tchei ped i tic (I) tits mO5l from tLe t ACtio, oc diEcres in an in ith a s 1 aore im le•disce.

This was an Mion for damage alledged to be tine to certain. goods, whilst on board the Hoy, Hannah, belonging, to the Defendant, when it was off Ralph's Wharf, to which place the Vessel had come from Stangate Creek. It was proved, that the goods had sustained da mage, but it appeared from the Plaintiff's.own evi dence, that the -Hoy arrived at the Wharf with the goods on the sth of January ; that the Defendant' was anxious to have his 'Hoy unladen, but that the Owners did not bring any order from the'Cus.' tom_house to authorize the Officer on board to allow any part of. th.; goods to be delivered until the Toth of January, and the orders for the greater part of them not till - some time afterwards. The Plaintiff's Counsel' on this 'consented to be non-suited, • The Court adjourned to the z9th of January.

It raises 63 gallons of water at every stroke, and performs 14. of these motions every minute.

About three in the afternoon, having turned the Garran Point makingjnto .Red Bay, a suiden squall of wind front the shore overset the boat ; and though the acci dent was seen by many, yet owing to some fatality, a. boat iefficient to bras e the seas, could not he gt.lt laUnched in time to prevent the other from drifting out of sight, which together with a very dark night coining on, rendered it impossible to afford theM assistiu Fortunately, :however, - the bOat was principally laden with deals, which being fixed 'under the seats, kept her above water, and enabled the two men to get on her side ; in which sitV: tion they were carried up to Baliygetty head, near Larne, and the next day (Saturday) were off' the Mull ofCantyre, being driven to and fro by the tide. At length, three violent•waves striking the .boat in succession, she righted again, when the two men were thrown a considerable way from her but, having taken the precaution of fastening ropes around their bodies, •they regained the wreck.— The boat was now floating ere', but the most of her sails were gone, and :Ilso her rudder ; her mast too was out of its step ; so that their situation wa little better than before, except that with the greatest difficulty, they got at a battle of wine, mixed with opiate, which was on hoard, Having drank this: their only beverage, O'Drain went to' sleep for several hours, although the waves were almost every moment washing over him. In this hopeless situa tion they drifted all that night and next day along,. tht coast of-Scotland, till they came off Llay, .Where, late on - Sunday afternoon, they were -seen by some boatmen on shore, who instantly went Off •to their relief, snatched them from the wreck, and :towed their boat into harbour.

We hear from Mull that a considerable take of herrings haS been in Lochbuy for snM:ss time past, and that the stormy weather has retarded the fishing in some degree ; but as the het-rifts have apparently settled in the lake, the inhabitants of that neighbourhood expert much goad froni it this winter. .• A Letter from Dijon, in the French Papers . ; gives an account of the general depravity of Morals which prevails in that city. It cites two instances, the one of a woman who laid to the charge of another female the child of which she had been delivered ; and the other, of a husband, who had substituted a spurious child by his sister-in-law in place of his own. MAssrox-HousE.—Yesterday an information was heard before the LOKI) MAYORi against the Captain of a Ship lying at Fresh Wharf, for having on board his ship 23t lbs. of gunpowder, being 206 lbss more than what is allowed by AEI of Patna.; tent to be in any ship above Blackwall. The Cap.: tain brought forward persons to prove his having sent ,the order for its being taken our, but the Waterman not coming for it, and his cargo being freight much wanted, he owned having come into the wharf be. , 'fore he could get it out.—The Waterman pleaded the weather, and that he could not find the ship, &c.—Alderman MA-cMjLEY assisted the Lotto MAYoR in this convidion, as it required two Ma gistrates, both of whom lamented, according to the circumstances of this case, they could not afford the Captain any relief, as, according to this ACt of Par,: liament, there is no mitigation, which, with the penalty upon quantity of powder, would amount to 201. tzs. which the: Captain paid, ,but said he was ignorant of the severity of this penalty. The Loan MAYOR said, he really thought it a hard case, but it was for the safety. of the public, that all large . quantities of gunpowder should be ,removed from the ships before they came up the river, and the conviction should be published, as a caution to others who were ignorant of these penalties,. The Rev. Mr. TOWNSEND, of Charles -street, Bath, with that candour for which he is distin guished, has addressed for publication the follow ing decisive Case to B. D.

Having a desire to see your Metallic Traitors adopted in every Family, 1 state for publicity one case which has oc curred in my own. A tea-urn, full of water, fiercely bah ling, was by accident upset on the table, and the chief of the contents emptied on the face; the neck, and the hind of my eldest daughter. --These several parts were instantly inflam ed, .and appeared to be blistering rapidly. The Tractors being at hand; were applied first to the face, which in about half an hour they perteCtly \ relieved. .The neck was next operated upon, and.mabant the same space Of time was %Nell also.—The hand, during the application of the Tra,dars to the other' places; was bathed with cold water, a remedy ge nerally considered as very efficacious.. It, however, clerivitK no permanent . advantage, the Tractors were next tried, and, relief therebyeVentually experienced. In a few hours the parts first Operated upon were so free from any appearance of scald, that a person who afterwards came in could. hardly oelieve any such tlting had happened. One circumstance particularly dem*strates the influence of the Tractors in these. Cures. A few drops of water fell on the side of the neck, but - which scalded in so slight a degree when compared with the others, that it was at the time entirely unnoticed, and they were not used there.
