NAVAI. VICTORY.

Dispatches were yesterday received at the Ad-
miralty from the Channel fleet, announcing the im-
portant intelligence of the capture of bur French
frigates, part of a sq,tailron of five, by the squa.
dron under Sir SAMULL HOOD ; and also of the
capture of a fifth French frigate, by the Dispatch
brig, of 18 guns, and the ennopou, of 80 guns, !tear-
Admiral Louts.—The dispatches were brought by
Lieutenant Asoaasott, who arrived at twelve
o'clock, in a chaise and four, at the Admiralty. The
new Ftasr LORD of the ADMIRALTY lost not a mo•
ment to impart the pleasing intelligence to the
City, and at half-past two o'clock the follnwing
bulletin was exhibited at Lxoyo's, aed posted on
the front of the Mansion House:—

" Admiralty Office, 3.1 0.1. 1676.—Dire 7'. M.
" I have the honour to acquaint your Lordship, that an
Oftwor Is joist arrived from Sir Samuel Hood, with an account
of his having fallen in with fee Trench frigates, four of which
hate been captured by the squadron under his command, an.
" La Glare, arf 45 guns, broad pendant t La Minerre,
L'Arenalo, and Indefatigable, of 44 gusts each.

" T►e above ships were full of troops. Our NU olit killed
and wounded, is—killed, nine; wounded, 32.
" I am sorry to add, that Sir S Huod has lest his right
arm.
ACCOIIIIOI me likewise received from Sir Thomas Louis's
senedsen, of kis having taken the Vrench frigate the Presi-
des; of 44 guns. " I have the Miaow to be, Ike.
(Signed) " THOMAS GIIIIIVILLE."
" To the tight Hon. the Lord Mayor."
The French squadron, we understand, was der
tined for the West Indies. Some say it was
bound for Buenos Ayres ; but whichever was its
destination, its capture is of great importance, as,
had it proceeded upon its voyage, it must have ar-
rived in that quarter of the it orld, long before
the expedition now lying at Falmouth. The
French squadron had just left Rochfort, and

bore down upon our ships, mistaking them for In-
diamen. Sir S•NUEL HOOD'S Squadron, ell Reels-
fort, consists, we believe, of the Ceffietir, 74 ;
Glory, 98 ; Priam ef Wake. 96; and the Isfertarees
74; and the /talents sloop, of 16 guns. Of these,
we uarientand, the Centaur and two more were en-
gaged. The French frigates fought with 'great
spirit. La Minerva was formerly the Eaglish fri-
gate of that name, which ran avow! in • thick
fog, in the evening of lnly 17911, Rear Cher-
• burgh, and was there taken. The President, taken
by Admiral Louts, was the frigate which escaped
from Sir fiAltUll. HOOD. On Saturday last, the
Dispatch, of 16 guns, fell in with her in lat. 47.
10ug."7. and, after a chase ortwenty-three hours,
brought her to anion, in a gallant style; when the
Canopus, which had joined in the chase, coming up,
the French frigate struck her colours. She arrived
at Plymouth oa Wednesday last. The other prizes
were hourly experged. The President, when captured
by the Dispatch and Canopus, was steering for
L'Orient.—We are concerned to find Sir SAssutL
Hoot, has suffered so severe a loss in this achieve-
ment. There is not an Officer in the British
fleet to whom his country looks with mere
expeastion. He is the grandson of Viscount HOOD.
and grand nephew and presumptive heir to th •
Irish title of Baron BILIDPORT. His elder brother,
ALEX AMICK HOOD, Capt of the Mass, was killed
on board that vessel, in the late war, in an engage-
ment with L' )(croak, dying, like Newton, in the
arms of viffory. Sir S•meet. Hoon, in the loss
of his right arm, has also suffered a loss similar to
that sustained by that gallant Chief at Teneriffe,
and is, we trust, reserved to run a similar course of
glory. In another part of our Paper are given
some of the brilliant anions that have distinguished
his professional life.

The Hansburgh Mail, due on Wednesday, ar-
rived yesterday morning. with letters sad Pa-
pe: s to the 27th. announcing the important intelli-
gence " of Mr departure of the Krug of POUSSIk from
Berlin, to put hialtelf at the head of hie Gray, toad
that the FreurA Allatakr et Berlin, M. La Foassr,
had demanded his passports."—His Mar BST It set out
on the t!Oth for Potsdam, and on the 22d proceeded
to ifegdelearg, on his way to headquarters, at
Natamtburgh. He was accompanied by the Qua ea,
who was to remain twe days with hint at the latter
plate, and then return to Berlin. The listen ac-
count from that city, is dated the 23d. and states,
that the French Ansassanoa, in answer to his de-
mand of passports, was informed, that he should
receive them, when the Prussian Minister at Paris,
General KmoarEsnoarr, had received his. This
caution, on the part of the Prussian Cabinet, is well
wart-Anted by the character of B . His
contempt of the law of nations, and repeat-d viola.
Lion of the rights of Ambassadors, will disgrace, in
the eyes of posterity, the age in which he lived,

—The Marquiss I.vccuestra had left Paris, and ar-
rived on the lath at Franckfort, on his return to
Berlin. He was of course safe out of the clutches of
Boer Ai, ARTS, who, in the opinion of the Pruiii Its Ca-
binet, is probsblydisposed to lay an ens!;argn upon M.
KsoaLesnosev. The Prussian army is lullof enthu-
siasm, and burns with desire to me asure words with
the French. This spirit is not confined to Lie army.
It per►ades the whole population of the country,
and displays itself every where in offers of voluntary
service, and a desire to contribute, in every p,4,ihle
way, to the advancement of the glorious cause.
The Grand Army is commanded by, Marshal Mot-
lINDORY and His MAJESTY in person, and is com-
puted at 70,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry. its
present station is in the vicinity of Merseberg.—
To the left, are the troops in Silesia, under Prince
HON EN Lon a, to which 20,000 Saxons are to be ad-
ded. There are, besides, three separate armies, an.
der Generals BLUCHER, KA ucacurog. and Recurs..
We find, also, in the Hambergh Papers, detiiive
proofs of the determination of Russia not to be
as idle speetator of the quarrel between France
and Prussia. Almost all the RIMIER troops are
encamped. Magazines are eolleSing for their use
at Warsaw, and every other preparation is made,
necessary for an army entering upon a campaign
The departure of the King of Swenen for Schnnen,
induced an apprehension, that he had withdraws
from the common cause ; but a letter from Elsineur,
of the 20th, states. that His MAJESTY would proba.
bly return to Pomerania is a fortnight. The Swed-
ish army remains in Pomerania, and the Dachy of
Lauenburgh, and we are confident that this gallant
Prince will persevere in the generous policy which has
hitherto guided his *Wont. A report prevailed that
the Rteltor of Hz's' had declared himself neutral,
and obtained the consent of Prussia to that coarse;
but it is not proable. Meanwhile, the French
troops have 'fallen back from Westphalia ; that
comer upon which the ambition of BONAPAETE
had east a longing eye t but they are fortis,.
jag daily reinforcements in Franconia, and upon the
Maine. An article, dated Rome, August SO, is
our Paper of yesterday, stated, that repoite were
circulated in that city, of more bloody baths fought
is Calabria, by MAssxwa, the particulars of which
were expelled. This appears to have been the
load:tan of a report which prevailed in the city
last evening, that data/cads had attained &nether
defeat from the British in that quarter, and bad
been driven,with great slaughter, front tome of their
principal towns. The accounts from Naples, is yes.
terday's Mail, come down to the 6th of September.
and we are concerned to say, do not contain any
thing to strengthen this erpeettation. A latter from
that city, of the Stb, developing the whale planet
the English expedition, admits that the French suf-
fered considerable loss in the hatde of Maida ; but
concludes with asserting, that the English, at that
date, retained only the fortress of &ilia. ups**
Streight of Messina, and that, with this exception, the
whole of Calabria has been again reduced to subje&ioo.

Accounts from Paris, of the Idth ult. is the Ham-
burgh Papers, state that Lard Lseosen•r. a was at
that time very ill. Thry likewise inform us that
the squadron is the road of the Isle of Aix had
suffered severely by a storm. The Ajax, of
seventy-four guns, was driven on shore, but
hopes are entertained that she will be got off.
The French prisoners nf war, sent from Sicily to
Genoa, bestow great praise on the kind treatment
they experienced from our countrymen. 111 e prin-
cipal officers of the City gave several flats to the
Officers of the vessel which conveyed them to Ge-
noa.
We have also received Dutch Papers to the Cols
last, but the most important part of their contrats
has been anticipated try the Hamburgh Mail.
The French, according to these papers, are appre-
hensive tea: an attempt will be made against Het-
land, for the force appointed to defend it is estimated
at 80,000 men.

The Funds have scarcely varied within these few
drys, notwithstanding die Intnated appearances et

war upon the Continent.

Last night the historical play of King Henry the

bined talents of Mrs. SIDDONS and Mr. 'Caseate,
afforded a high treat to the lovers of the drama.
Mrs. C KrMILI and Mr. Mat vile, a second time

in the farce of Ths Citisex. Had Mrs. C. KEN IL e'S
Muria been the first we had ever witnessed, it is

bermher performances; but the colouring is too high,
and wants that ease and Naiodie we have been accus-

applause which he received, in every part of his per-
formance, was unbounded. The house was crowd-

Tni PRINCESS OF WALE!
FATAL ACCIDL:YT. .
Her Royil Highness the pritrees Cif Wat t. es set
out, en Thursday afternoon, in her bartioche and six,
from her seat at Blackheath, to dine with blr.Locice,
at his seat at Norbury Park, two miles beyond Lea-
therhead. Her Royal Highness was accompanied
by Lady Sucrirrexo, and Miss CNOLMOSIDELAIS,
the latter of whom bad been, for some days,
on a visit to her Royal Highness; at Black-
heath. The party proceeded in paled safety until
they approached Leatherhead, when the ha-
Touche, in turning a sharp corner, was unions'.
nately epset. Her Royal Highness was thrown out
with great violence, and received a severe hurt upon
her shoulder. It was at first feared that it was dis-
located, but that is not the fad. She received
same other bruises, but, we are happy to say,
Her Royal Highness is not dangerously hurt.—
Lady Summer received no injury, except what
was occasioned by fright; but Miss CHOLUONDSLLY
was killed upon the spot. So great was the
violence with which this unfortunate lady was
thrown out of the carriage, that her head coming
in coquet with a posit, her skull was fradured, and
instant death was the consequence. She was imme-
diately taken to the Swan Inn, at Leatherhead,
where surgical assistance was procured, but the
vital spark had fled, never to return. Her Royal
Highness the Princess of WALES, and Lady SH ST-
WIILD. when recovered a little from their excessive
terror, returned in an agony of grief to Blackheath.
We are happy to state, that they were both better
yesterday, and that no apprehension was enter-
tained that either of them had received any serious
personal injury, The PR INC I.SS is, however, much
bruised. An Express was immediately sent to Lady
WILLOUGHBY, to apprise her of the melancholy
accident, and her Ladyship instantly communicated
the dismal tidings to Earl Prior', at Northumber-
land House, through whom most of her other
relatives and friends were made acquainted with

the sad story.
Miss CHOL !MON DELItIr was daughter of the late
Honourable and Reverend Rosser Cuotstonos-
tar, Redlor of Hartinford, Bury, and St. Andrew's,

stortoecer, and uncle to the present Earl. Nlrs.

rent, is living, and resides at ber house in Jerrnyn.
street. From her very advanced age, and precari-
ous state of health, the most alarming consequences
are expoded, when she learns the fatal accident.
Lady Btcs.rnour, wife to sir WILLIAM BILLING-
IMAM, Bert. olCasde Bellingham, Ireland,-is now
her only surviving daughter. Miss CHO L MONDILLIT

honour of her acquaintance.

town is fuller of company now than it has been

Last night, the eleeranles, attrafted by the serenity
of the weather, and the beams of the moon, whici
played beautifully bright on the undulating ocean,
promenaded the Steyne, to a very late hour. The
calmness of en-day, and the dulcet notes of the
military band, bid lair to hold out a similar invita-
tion for the present evening. The Jerusalem, ponies
have been in high requisition all the morning ; not
only the youngllisses, but even the valetudinarians
of the hardier sex, seem to consider it'nn degradatio:i
to take their airings on those patient quadrupeds.

. i37R SAMUEL MOOD.
• •
This *Rive officer was Commander of the Isse
frigate, at the period of the evacttation of Touleloi
previous to which event he had sailed cn a ere**.
On his return, ignorant of what bad happened in
his absence, he sailed• into the harbour, sod came
to an anchor. The evening was hazy, with 'biol.
rain ; no colours were displayed on the batte-ies, or
if there were, they were either not visible. or En;'•
lisp. A boat ceche alongside the 7tair, attd seve-
ral Frenchmen, 'tif the new moriicipality, went on
board. They were asked for nests, and perceiving
the mistake that still reigned, they 'conversed With
Captain Hood, as if they were under the British Go-
vernment. Fortunately, the tti-coloured cockide
in one of their hats caught his eye, and he perceived
' the treacherous tendency of their visit. With great
presence of mind, he ordered some refreshments to he
set before them, went on deck, and v.mmunicated to
the officers and crew the situation cf the ship, direct-
ing them to slip the cable, and make every possible
exertion to sail out of the harbour. This he effeded,
in defiance of a heavy cannonade from the fort and
batteries, as he passed, and soon after joined the
fleet under the command of Lord Hood.
Previous to the attack on the French line in the
Bay of Aboukir, the Admiral hailed Captain Hood,
to inquire, if he thought there was sufficient depth of
water for our ships, between the enemy and the
shore ? Captain Hood said he did not know, but,
with the Admiral's permission, he would lead in, and
try. The Goliath, however, bring the fastest sailer,
and having the start, first gained the post of honour.
The Zealous, of 74 guns, Captain Hood, had
the honour of being the second ship that led inside
between the enemy and the land, and to receive,
with the Goliath, the first fire from the van ships of
the enemy, as well as from the batteries and gun-
boats. with which their van was strengthened ; these
two ships, with the Orion, Audacious, and Tfieseiss,
took their stations inside the enemy's line, and were
immediately in close anion. At the close of the
battle, Le Genereaz, and Gamete With the
t.vo frigates, Le Justice and Le Diane, cut their
cables, and stood out to sea, permed by the Zealous,
Captain Hood, who handsomely endeavoured is
prevent their escape ; but, as there was no other
ship in a condition to support the Zealoas, she was
re-calledl
On the 18th of August, having refitted the ships of
his fleet and prizes, in the best manner the stores
which he had would permit, the Admiral sailed
grow the Bay of Aboukir, leaving Captain Samuel .
Hood, with four sail of the line Ind two frigates, to
block up the port of Alexandria. and to Intercept
any supplies which might be seat to the French army.
Captain Hood was next engaged in co.operating
in the expulsion of the French from the Roman ter-
ritory ; and, in 1801, commanded the Proem/le,
one of the ships of the squadron under Sir James
Saumarez. In the engagement off Algesiras, he
particularly distinguished himself. by pursuing and
bringing to anion the Po:misdate, a French ship, of
84 suns, which he bad nearly silenced, when his
mainmast was shot away. This accident enabled
his autagoida to escape. " The highest praise."
says Sir James Sautnarez, in his letter to the Admi-
ralty on this occasion, "is due to Captain Hoood, the
officers and man of the Centrals, for their spirit and
. gallantry is cite action. which entitled them to hatter
tannest.''—Ost the renewal of hoetilititrs, is 1603,
Captain Hood was appointed Commander-in-Chief
on the Leeward Island station, with the rank of
Commodore. and was employed, in conjunction
with General Grinfield, in the redudien of the
Dutch colonies of Berbice. Demerara, and Igoe-
quits°. For his services in the Mediterranean, be
was honoured, by the King of the Two Sicilies, with
the Order of St. Ferdinand and of Merit ; and, is
1804, he was invested, by his own sovereign, with
the Order of the Bath.
The following is one of the Complimentary Ad-
dresses received by him upon that occasion:

Possession was taken, on Monday last, of the
New Prison-house and Prison, in Monr-street, Bir-
mingham, by Mr. Pave, the keeper. The first
stone of this building was laid on the 18th of Sep-
iember, 1805, by Mr RICMAILD PRATCHATT, then
High Bailiff; and the rapidity with which it has
been ereeled, earns great credit on the Committee
who cow:fueled the undertaking. The internal ar-
rangements of the prison are ordered with much
judgment and convenience, and have drawn forth
the highest encomiums from several eminent cha.
riders. The cells are roomy and well ventilated ;
the court.ydrd is of ample dimensions, *aged,
and in all the a iartments and offices. the health and
cleantnen of the unfortunate prisoners have been
studied with the most peculiar attention. A very
judicious and proper arrangement is also observed
in the creation of this prison-.the male and female
prisoners are kept intirely apart. The exterior of
the Public Office is nearly completed, and if we
may judge of the v:hole from what is discernible in
the front, the architect has displayed no small por-
tion of judgment and taste.

RUSSIAN PETE.
--.....
it cannot bet be a subjedt of proud eteltatien to
contemplate the very marked and distinguished man-
ner in which His Majesty the Emperor of Russia has
recently thongbt proper to honour the British mer-
chants resident at and trading to Petershurgh. The
nezasion upon which His Imperial Majesty was
pleased to compliment them in the way he did, was
one which materially related to the commercial ins
terescs of that extensive empire. ft was nothing less
than laying the foundation stone of a new Exchange.
fire Emperor attended the ceremony, and every
English merchant in the place was invited. .1. he
merchants of other nations were not so favoured.—.
The invitation to them was neither generals or ac-
companied with those circumstances of respeft and
esteem which were manifested with regard to out
countrymen The first stone of the proieBed struc-
ture was laid with due solemnity ; the current coins
orßussia were deposited beneath the stone, and, dur-
ing the whole of the scene, full bands of military
music attended, by command of the Emperor, and
played a number of the matchless compositions of
Mozart. When this grand ceremony had concluded.
His Majesty requested the attendance of out mer-
chants at a splendid entertainttent he proposed giv-
ing upoa so auspicious an event. The imperial sum-
mons was obeyed, and a more interesting speetacltr
was never beheld. lbu, Emperor presided in persons
and condescended to perfor m the honour, of the feast.
The table was spread with every delicacy that could
he procured, and the choicest wines added to the
luxuriance of the royal treat. The desert was teas
dered, by a circumstance which accompanied it,
evee more agreeable than the dinner ; for after nu-
merous toasts had gone round, and.success had bed
drank to the new undertaking, His Majesty unfolded
a picket, containing a quantity of gold medals, each
6f the value of about six guineas in weight, bnt•in-
, estimable in another pint of view—on the one side
was the bust of the Emperor, a striking and accurate
like toss, and on the reverse was the elevation of the
Imrrial Exchange, precisely as it was intended to
be erereed. His Majesty presented one with his own
hand to every British merchant. at the same time
eestrit.g them to preserve it, as a memorial of his
respell for the first commercial nation in the world,
and as an indication of that stroll friendship he Wet
w lys wisbed to manifest towards England. The prey,
snelity of the Emperor's reign—the harmony of
alliance between England and Russia—were dr '
with various other Appropriate toasts. The festi ,i
was protracted ull a late hour.
