At the expiration of,this period, and in the beginning of December, 1802, he solicits ahaogeg of pUblic regulations from the Governor, to accommodate him' in his coma mercial speculations ; which, as he states to be very large, he expeEted to be very lucrative, and the_ . change of a proportional benefit to himself. At , -. this time he writes an elaborate penegyric on the • Administration of Lord WELLESLEY, ascribing to him " incessant" care of " the public interests," " excessive wisdom,'" enlightened policy, and the most consumtnate regard to justice ;" One , leading measure. of the Administration was the pro . curing this cession ; tile justice or lllitlSti.;e•of which lie had then fully informed_ himself upon. the spot : on his ,return to England he describes the same mea sure as exhibiting an example of tyranny and rape , . city as yet unequalled by BONAPARTE !—"Phis Charge is' contained in a. printed Letter to Lord FOLKSTONE, dated :2 oth of -oa. last—that from which the first citation is taken, was printed by order of the Cutunfens in June last.

Rear-Admiral Sir ALEXANDER COCHRANE, K. B. in his Majesty's Ship Northumberland, sailed froth hence on, Tuesday evening,., for Trinidad.--A most Melancholy and distressing account has been this morning received from Dominica, of the fatal ,effe'a - ts there of a severe gale of wind, and inundation of the town of Roseau, on the gth inetant. There had been a heavy fall of rain for several days previous, which continued without palyintermission on the gt h, when -about Midnight the gale commenced, and blew' with great violence for near four hours 'from the N. W. during which,tinie -the river to leeward of the town broke, down its hanki in several different places at the same Moment,, and in dreadful torrents rushed through the town, sweeping into the sea, with irre sistible force; everything in its way.. About two thirds of the town (chiefly, however, the smaller houses) are computed to have been washed away, and nearly two hundred persons are supposed to have perished by this - untortunate,caiarnity ; while the power of the gale was not leSs fatal to the Shipping, eleven out of twelve Vessels then there having been driven ashore and entirely lost. The 1 effetsis of the storm have been almost equally dread-, throughout the Country, many estates not hav ing. a house standing, 'and their crops materially in - :lured, and likewise lost a number of negroes.

In consequence of some observations which had, fallen frolo preceding speakers, he declared that heothought nothing could be more invidious and ab surd than the doctrine, that a man,was disqualified for sereiog his Constituents' and .his Country by the possession of an Office in His Majesty's Government. On the contrary, he conceived that the poeseSsion of Office must enlarge the power of utility.' The mere etnolimient of office he eonsidetedas too'eori temptible an object for a liberal and patriotic mind. An opportunity of supporting the interest and ho nour of the Empire was the paramount consideration with every elevated character. Though he believed , 1 he could at that moment consider himself as a ,Mem ber of Parliament,. yet as he was a native of Nor . folk, he thit a . strong impOlse of ambition to repre sent that County - which gate him birth, - and for. Which .he should never be ashamed to avow d parti calar affection. The Freeholders of 'Norfolk Were ,his brethren, of .the same soil, and 'be should 14s ways by proud of their support. The contest might be severe and 'expensive discretion might therefore point out a different course; but it was his favourite wish to represent his native County, and he was de termined to persevere. He concluded uith accusing Colonel WohisiOuSE of having, prematurely began to canvass. The Colonel declared, that in availing himself of Government interest, he had done no more than others had done, and as was usual on such occasions. The rest of the :husiness consisted. of questions and. answers between Mr. WINDHAM and several of the Freeholders, which it is needless to repOrt.— At length the Meeting broke up, and the,Poll is fixed for the 13111 inst. Wednesday evening an Inquest was held at the sign of the London Hospital White,chapel, on the body of John Welsh, a servant to Mr. White, oil man, in Whitechapel, who in consequence of a cask of oil rolling over 'him' as he was endearOuring to guide it to the cellar, had both his legs so shockingly bruised, that he died the next day in the Hospital.— The Jury returned a Verdi& of-=--alccidental Death.
