The Prospero Bomb Vessel, at Woolwich, is to be fitted for immediate service. Capt. HUMPH RI ES is to have the command. His Majesty's Gun-brig Vixen, Lieut. P.

She has on board 300 half ankers of - Geneva, but had de livered part of her cargo before she fell in with her. The crew, ten in number, have been delivered to the Civil Power, who have committed them to the house of Corredion, until they receive orders froth the Alien Office as to their future disposal. On Sunday se'nnight the Brig Jason, of Brid lington, loaded with oats and: lentils for London, went on shore at Great Cowden, on the Holderness Coast, during a heavy gale of wind, amiLht a dread ful surf, which made a tree passage over the Vessel, by which the Captain was unfortunately washed overboard ; the rest of the crew saved them , selves in the rigging. A few hours after, the body of the Captain was found and c.lriveyed to Bridling. ton for interment. The Jason only sailed from Bridlington the Saturday night preceding this unfor tunate accident. Her cargo is now delivering, without having sustained much damage. • The Henry, BRADLEY, from Atrica to the West Indies, - is captured an: carried into Quadaloupe ; had two men killed aria seven wounded. The Scorpio/7, Capt. DAGG, from the South Seas bound to London, is arrivtd at Sr. Helena, with the Ganges and Cyrus, tw French Whalers, which-she captured. A Sailor has been discovered on board the B/old bowie/Gun-vessel, at who is strongly suspeft ed of having been concerned in the murder of the Officers of the Hermivre Frigate, in the West Indies. Upwards of Soo Convicts take their-,passage in the Inconstant Frigate, Capt. DICKSON, who have been pardoned on condition of being transported to the Settlement at Goree, on the coast of Africa. The East-India Company have lately made some regulations relative to the qualificationt of persons to be appointed Mates of Indiame!),, the pure - at of which may be acceptable to our Readers :—A Chief Mate must attain the full age of twenty-three years, and have performed a voyage to and from India or China, in the Company's service, in the station of. Second or Third Mate. A Second Mate, t wenty two years, and have performed a like.voyage as Third Mate. A Third Mate, twenty-one years, and have performed two . similar voyages. And a Fourth Mate twenty years,,and have performed one voyage of , not less than twenty months, or one shorter voyage, and one year in actual service in any .oilter employ. NAUTICAL DISCOVERY. A Gentleman has just invented - a Floating Battery upon a new prin-. ciple, and which by a mechanical process, m'ay be sent to any given poi ca not exceeding two miles and a half in distance, and there discoarge ail its guns in any dire&ion at the sam moment, ,with out the assistance of human i.,ericy. One of these Floating Batteries may he r. .ichcd to eN ery ship, so that if wc nave ten cruizers off Boulogne, or any other dept, each ship can scud one of these Batteries into the enemy's harbours, and the guns may be brought to bear on the town, or gun-boats, at pleasure. Supposing the numhcr of Batteries sent to destroy the flotilla be ten, and on board each are four twenty-four pounders, the Cle strudion they would occasion would be incalcul able. What adds to the value of this contrivance is, that when the guns have fired, the Batteries will return instantaneously to the place from wilt:tree they sat out, and on their being reloaded they will return and go through the same process as before. It is necessary to add, that the calculation of distances must be taken in the day, and the Batteries sent out in the night. ~ ~ A striking instance of the disinclination of the Dutch towards their GAllic oppressors, is afforded by the following circumstance, which is stated to have occurred within • these few days DutCh' Ship employed to carry several thousand stand of arms from one port to another, no sooner got out of the reach of the batteries upon the coast, than she steered for England, , and is now in the Thames, with the whole of the Cargo. We are told that to have taken possession of the Spanish Galleons " would have been to imitate the conduft of the last Administration with respea to Ireland, where men were arrested and imprisoned on suspicion of being suspeaed." . This false and des picable attack upon the last Administration chews the cloven foot of Irish jacobinism.—We are sorry to find that the W riters in favour of the present Ministry think they please their employers by abusing the last. But perhaps 'the Irish Jacobin who wrote the silly and malignant article alluded to, obeys the impulse of his own feelings' upon „this occasion, and' is mourning over the loss of some Irish Reformers who were not only . arrested and prisoned, but hanged for their revolutionary =dil -1 nations. By a letter from Scarborough, of .the Isth, we learn, that the weather has been uncommonly tem_ pestuous during the last week ; five sail of ships were sunk there - close to the harbour, all laden with coals ; but happily zio lives were lost. Great numbers of dead bodies, however, continue daily to be thrown on shore by the wages along the whole coast. In the storm of yesterday se'nnighr, a large tree was blown down at Alvaston, neatiMftiy, which fell across the turnpike-road; three of 'the London stage coaches met within a few minutes, one of which had just passi!d, and the other two were un. 'avoidably detained upwards 'cif an hour, until the tree could be cut and removed. The pork butcher, of Whitecross-street, ulto was some time since convided at the Old Bailey, of manslaughter, and the term of whose imprisonment lately expired, was so much 0110ted on returning to his former rcgidencf., as tu it but a single week. !qui L, lAN. zoo , the._ t rth instant 'toe .bitigent Sic)* jose'ry: LANCASTER master, from Woolwich, arrived here, with 2.44ounder iron giins,- grapei'ease, and round Shot, and upwards . of. one hundred , ban-els of pow:. der, appropriated for :the prOteftion of the South end of this town (immediately facing the passage of : the Humber inwards) ! and at which Fort they will be placed in a short .time. On Tuesday last, the r 7th instant] the brig Four Frivids, WILLIAM ,STAFF, Master, arrived here, (also . from Woolwich, and other' military depots) deeply laden syith ordnance stores of every descrip tion, viz. sixty iron guns and carronades, about 306 bari - els. of powder, large quantities, of grape, case, and round shot, and a great number of strung and well-made 'pikes, fur the the of the boats of the Sea-Lncibles, and others now fitting out. at this Port, to ad in and below the Humber ; also many articles for garrison service, as well as fur the troops in the Yorkshire distrift. Indeed, stores of this description are almost constantly arriving at this Garrison from the South. The Farr Fiqends has also brought; for the use of the Park of Artillery (which is now very con.: siderable) a great number of large shells, of a pe culiar cOmitrudioni quite new ; they are entirely filled with carbine balls, and have, when put into use by means of strong powder, a most tremendous and destrudiVe eff:a.• On Thursday night a tremendous gale came on at this Port, from the South East. Two stoops were sunk in the Humber; at the South end, and another off the Long Jetty. - During the night a considerable part of a house bailding in Osbourne_ street fell down ; and some other buildings in and about this town, have received trifling damages.: We are happy to say, we have not yet heard ac_ counts of any considerable mischief at . sea: DISTURBING DIVINE WORSHIP. •- THE prevailing praetice of disturbing Divine Worship, in consequence of idle and dissolute" youths, and children of both sexes, assembling in: church_yards, in several distrids of the Metropclis;' has bec , nie an evil of considerable magnitude: With a view lo,sheck this indecorous and repre_ hensible practice, the Chapel Waden of the Church. of St. Ma7garet's, in the Bro.aJway, Westminster, obtained a warrant against a youth who comalitteo an . assault upon him in the execution of his duty, in preventing offences of this nature,, which was heard before the Magistrates at the Public-Oa - ice, Qncen square, who explain 4 d to the delinquent the great severity of the punishment which must follow ct.n. viftiorl tor this specie, of assault ; namely, that, the. vjender should, besides e x communication, have his ears cut of, vr his or her cheek n arked 'with a hot Iron.
