IOOkS to for proper regulations to 'be -adopted; when he commands -any public 'ceremony to take place in the City, and, by his being last in the pro cession, 'he' was 'supposed to be seeing that every thing , was properly regulated.

In con sequence ofthe discovery of the precedent, we un derstand the LORD MAYOR'S situation in the proces sion is again unsettled., . .

The Dean and Chapter, it is said, are:.very averse to this auk Ward Machine remaining, but the-InspeEtor of the Works, it is st.aed, insists that it shall-remain. . Some suppose that the question -will be referredto the Archbishop of CANTEItiIURY . , the Bishop of LONDON, and the LORD MAYOR for the tithe being, who are the Trus tees for the.

In the Papers of the 3d ult. there aii‘; , eard i'lar -I,fme-ebpied from the Gilralticit.ronaie, containing r arefle&ion on Rear-Admiral DumAN9III'S cOndiiel in r•the 13a/tle. Of Trafalgar. In consequence of this I' article Rearadrnirai - Dcfm AN6i it ' hag written the fol-;. lowing - . `TkANSLATION,OF REAR-ADMIRAL DUMA- . . NOR's LETTER. • (C 'Fravilig - betin . 'Confined to nTrroonlin :Consei quence of my , wound, it was some time before I was informed, of an. article inserted in the Newspapers on the 3cl'of. this month, which accuses me of hay- , . • ing, in Ile a6tion off •Trafalgar-7--ISt, - fired on the Spanish, Vessels-which had surrendered; . 2d, -having precipitately talien• to-iiight, after having been only a sirriple spectator of the combat. •,-c,‘", As to the first charge, the testimony of my Captains authorizes me-firmly to give it the lie. So , , far from any of them being ordered to fire on the Vessels of our Allies whom the chance of arms 'had forced to strike, they were, on the contrary; recom mended not to confound them with the English,. who were at-a, short ,distance from them ; and their . delicate and , natural attention in this circumstance, viaoriously repels the ridieulOuS accusation—" That we skewed ourselves ,wkollp worthy of .the days" of Rolespierre' can n ot iudeed,positively that in the heat.of the atStion ; sorne gunS which were ill aimed might not poSsiblY have boene on' the . Ntes" sets of our friends. But if the Editor of this ca- . lumniotts article had . not•-shewn in his . ; assertions the. expr6s design 'of raising the. animosity_ of the,, Spaniards against the French, would have been more natural to accuse' us of having fired on 'the French Ship Fankeitr, when she ran.- foul of the. • stern of the Temerare,. and when we answered the well-direEted fire ~of that of three . decks ; for in spite of all. the precautions we took, there' certainly no`dbubt• that the Foitgeux received some of our shots ; but this, as, in the• case of the Spa 7 niards, was .a-misfortune made necessary by circum stances, and not 'a decided inclination to fire on our own Vessels. - _ " As to the second accusation, a short recital of circumstances will prove to all impartial persons on Nvliat foundation it rests. The - left column of the English, having Admiral NELSON . at its head, bore at first on the French vanguard, which I com manded.; but finding it probably too compaEt, they exchanged a feW Shot with us,' and then struck ati the centre of our line, while Vice-Admiral Core LINO,WOOD attacked our rear-guard.Ving then no enemy to contend with, I tacked about; the wind • being very weak ; a movement which could not make without the aid of my boats. I was followed by four othervessels ; and • taking the lead of this diviOon on board-the For/nick/He; I bore towards the centre of our fleet, where the fire was hottest ; my' intention•was; at the , sametimbe to cut off two ships of war of the division of Admiral NELSON, .but they gained upeti me in svfiltness-, :and, in passing„ a-head of me at the distance of pistol-shot,. they did me considerabledamage. I had,then to combat th 6 enemy's vessels, which had broken and passed the centre of our fleet. On my corning up, .1 found the Santissima Trinidada and_the Auce(ztaure dismasted of all, their masts, and taken possession of by the English,"as well as a part of the. vessels which com posed that division. • • " I continued-td beats upon our,rear-guard,•which I found in part surrendered ; I engaged successively. alongside of twelve VeSsels, of which four that were three-deckers handled us very severely. .There•ree .mined then on the field of battle, to which I was , coming up with my assistance, only thirteen French and Spanish vessels; which - had surrendered, and fif teen English vessels. (one only dismasted). I was thus ,cut off from the rest of the Combined -Fleet e which was much before the wind. The Neptune, a Spanish vessel, which was of, the number of those which had tacked about,' but which was left very fin behind, was surrounded by the enemy, dismasted, - and obliged to surrender. • My ,-division, consisting of only four disabled ships, _was therefore cut aft() • windward, thgrest of the. Combined Fleet being at, the 'distance of two long lea•gues before the wind, and bearing off under all their sails. To have rejoin-- ed them, I must, have fallen in . with the English squadron, which remained entire between those two Separated bodies . ; but this would have been running; to certain destruction, without the hope.: of doing. 'any great damage to the enemy.. • This disposition, and the, disabled state of the Ships under my command, made \' me adopt the only `proper conduZit that remained, which was to keep the wind,.. that I might, have it in my,power, to 'repair daring the night, and to wait the chances of the following day. This is what the Editor of the Article contenting :me calls " precipitately tak ing to-flight," • It was then three-quarters past five,, and the combat had ceased., The Formidatle had_ had Go men killed or wounded ; her masts severely damaged ; all her 'tackling,' and the greater part of her shrouds, cut to- pieeese , her sails• entirely crip- , pled: she, made besides four feet water in an , hour, by reason of the shots . she received beloW water-, mark. The three other Vessels were ''nearly in the: same state, and were indebted only to'a smooth sea for the preseryation of their masts. This is proba ,bly-what the same,Editor callS:being a mere spe&a-' tor of the combat. : Next morning ; 'seeing. on-.t he scene of , a4ion only the English and theircaPtUred Vessels, A judged' that . our Fleet had re-entered. Cadiz, and I took the tack for open sea.. It Wai. then that I knew more particularly the state of my Division. The fotir Vessels ere obliged - r tO chane their mai n-top -W masts, yards,, and sails; high and. low. The 'Thiona•y-Troldi, one . ortheM, had her • main-yard broken, % an . eca was nr losing Let ow,- sprit, it had beensoennrch shattered .by shots: The same was ,the case the mizen-mast of the For- midable which We COIVO:l ' oily ' by keeping against the :.•rind for an hem saine.Y6.ssel, tfie Fbizthl; maL the s'ame'sa . i. five Ore,si.k feet water per hour, and it being a settled gale, *the . N.-:ater was Vl.;er,. - ;,ased, to seven feet the pumps being in sui-Beient to keep . hei - , xater-inark, I was obliged, that l e .,lnieed' .sive.her froin: Sinking, to to lighten her, ,a ^ dd redetce .her force to, sixty . guns, throwing overli-oaLd. Ler battery. FroM this time, 'ail the' pumps were necessartio keep her above water. It was in 'this critical situation that, On the 2d of.. November, midnight;. I fell . in with the -Squadron of Sir. R.. Si'inacHAN -- , Who chased' . • me till about font- in the, morning Being then at tacked by . the 41.1emy's and not wishin-4 to 1e0.4 rigging of my Ships be dismahtlecl one by came out in spite of the disabled.state (t` my Vessels, and particularly of the Eirmidable, which was obliged to have'a great part of her crew ern ployed the pumps. came out say) to big-,, battle to.the Enemy. ;After an ensagement ofneary four hours at a very short 7 distance, our masts wer.; - so disabled, in consequence of the Battles of Finls terre and Trafalgar, that they fell by the board, and. the Division was, obliged -to surrender.' The Fir -miclakle, the Mont Blanc, and the Scipion, had than nine feet of whterin the hold, *and , all three woucl have infallibly,perished; if from that time, to cm: arrival in England; it had not been constantly fair weather; But Rear-Admiral Sir 11.

The day was so bad, being a continual fall of wet snow, that, if it had not been intimated for the competition, scarce a plough, could have been yoked in the parish - till late in the afternoon. Yet 21 ploughs appeared on the field be fore ten o'clock, a. nz. and, notwithstanding the bad ness of the day, finished their respe&ive tasks with' great expedition, and in a masterly style.
