gabiion staticnied at Roseau is quartered, the whole
of lfie barrack: wore Islown down excepting one ;
'three uteri and one woman killed, and one man
wounded.
The planters have equally suffered with the inha-
bitants of the town ; every plantation on the wind-
ward coast of the Island, from the River Tabarie
to Morne Pair Bouche, are almost intirely de-
stroyed ; only three mills standing in the whole ex-
tent, and those considerably damaged ; no other
building left on either sugar or coffee estate, and
the numerous inhabitants of that quarter have only
for shelter four houses, situated at some distance
from the sea, to which most of the white inhabitants
have retired. On the different estates on that coast,
as far as accounts have reached town, there have
perished about thirty negrocs, and upwards of 180
dangerously wounded.
Round the coast. from the river Tabarie, by way
of La Soye, the estate which bears the name of that
river, is, perhaps, the only one that has not received
any considerable damage in this general disaster.—
All the plantations on the coast, to the leeward of
the island, have experienced the effals of the hur-
ricane; every houses from the river Maliant
down to Prince Rupett's, either laid flat, or
' greatly damaged; the town of Portenrouth en-
tirely destroyed ; the greatest part of the barracks
on Morne Cabrit carried away ; and, in general, the
whole Island offers a scene of devastation and ruin.
IVe learn, that Martinique has but slightly suffered.
Orand Terre, in Guadeloupe the same. Maria
Galante, and the Saints, have received considerable
damage; but that the other islands have intirely es-
caped. . Though the whole weight of this mi,for-
tune seems to have fallen on our unfortunate island,
we cannot help thinking it a subjea of rejoicing,that
the other colonies have been fortunate enough to
escape this calamity; as thus, we have a resource
open against the horror of a famine, which, without
the receipt of speedy supplies, would have been
inevitable, the resources of the island being intirely
destroyed in provisions of its own produainn, and
the greatest part of those in town destroyed or da-
maged.

LONDON,
WEDNESDAY, Novi:masa t 6,
rive Hamburgh Mails become due this day. As
the French Papers, from which we made such co-
pious extras yesterday, do not bring down the ac-
counts of military operations farther than the 20th
last, the arrival of the Hamburgh Mails is looked
for with much anxiety.
A Leeward Island mail arrived, yesterday, after
a passage of 25 days from Tortola. We have re-
ceived by it, accounts from Dominica to the Ist,
and from BArbadoes to the 14th last. We stated in
a former paper, that the island of Dominica suffor-
ed greatly by a hurricane on the 9th of Septem-
ber. On the night of the 24th, that island was
again alarmed by the gloomy and threatening ap-
pearance of the weather, and a succession of squalls
and rain, which did not cease until the night of
the 25th. In the interval, the river again overflowed,
and took its former course through the town of
Roseau, but did no farther damage. A full account
of the hurricane of the 9,h is given in a preceding
column. Apprehensions were also entertained at
Barbados, of a hurticane as dreadful as that which
visited Dominica, but we are hippy to state, that
they have not been realised.
It would appear, from the following extra& from
a Boston Paper, of the 22th ult. that the reports of
General Merriman having arrived in this country,
and afterwards proceeded to the Continent :o assist
the Allies with his advice, are without any found-
ation:—

The Defendant in this case was brought up for judit-
mist, for publishing various libels agitinst Sir M. M.
Lopez, Bart. ; the particulars of which we gave in a
former Paper, when sn application was made for a
criminal information last Easter Term. This in-
formation was tried before Mr. Baron Tdom ?sow.
at the last Spring Assizes for the County•of Devon,
and the Defendant was found Guilty. The libels
upon which he was convicted were contained in va-
rious letters to the Prosecutor, to Lady Leper, and
some of their relations, couched in the most gusts,
obscene, and abusive language, accnsing the Pro-
secutor of being the means of his ruin, charging
him with cowardice as an Officer commanding a
Volunteer Corps, and lavishing the most shameful
epithets upon Lsdy Lopez and other branches of the
family, with which he himself was cosineet.id. He
also published a sort of hand-bill, wherein the cha-
rafter of the Prosecutor WAS further vilified and
abused, in which he used the epithets of ,t Jew and
Pig ;" making comparisons between the Prosecutor,
as a Jew, a Pig, ands Christian. St:.
Mr. JeerL, for the prosecution, observed, that
these libels were such a tissue of ribaldry and ob-
scenity, he did not wish to offend the ears of the
Court by repeating them,
The-affidavits of the Defendant and his Attorney
represented the former to be in a very weak stare
of mind, and whenever the subjelt of his trans-
salons with the Prosecutor was mentioned, he be-
came quite deranged, and bereft of every power
of thinking or afhng for himself. He had been
misled and mistaken with respect to the Prosecu-
tor's condo& toward* 'him, for he imagined that
he had been the cause of his ruin, by withholding
pecuniary aid from WM, which lie thought himself
entitled to by right. From the very heavy erpence
this prosecution had ins-deed him in, he was tota+ly
ruined, and from the deranged state of his mind, he
was unable to manage or attend to his business.
He expressed the greatest sorrow and contrition
for his offence, and offered to make every repara-
tion its his power to the Prosecutor. Sonic letters
were then produced, on the part of the Prosecutor,
and a fprnser affidavit made by the Defendant.
The letters were written by the Defendant to the
'Prosecutor since his conviction, and contained mote
mow of libel and malevolence, one of them ciin-
eluding with " your enemy till death, G.M.D."
Mr. Da P4Pleg addressed the Coon on behalf of '
the Defendant. He observed, that the conduCt of
the Prosecutor towards this unfortunate man, with
regard to pecnniary transaFtions, had isEtually de-
verged his mind ; or, at least, from a misconception
or misunderstanding of that cendult, he hid been
disordered in his faculties, and unable any Idnger to
attend to his profession as an attorney. He was in
a stata of absolute poverty, with a wife and large
family.; and although it was impossible to justify
the offence, be trusted, situate as he was, the Coon,
as ever, would temper justice with mercy.
Mr. GARROW and Mr. Juitv t, for the Prosecu-
ow-and, that vll4 was rot the fiesUcase in which
the Court had had a diiii. ulty to distingui4 between
downright malice and a deranged state of .mind.
'This Defendant, down to the last moment, had re-
peated those abominable libels, and attacked a most
a ..

respeaable gentleman's cnarader in everrpart, that,
in man, could be vulnerable. II- had- stated Ith,
derangem-nt of mind ; but it that was easterly the
fad, he might have given mach better proof of it.;
it ft WAS madness, It was that kind of madness which
had much method in it ; and the whole had been
contrived and pradtisei for the purpose of extorting
money from this gentleman.
Lord ELI eleaoitoeux observed, that the lan-
guage of the !defendant in these litres was the most
ahornina'tly indecent, and the most Malevnlent, he
llad ever heard.
'L he Court then direfted him. to he committed to
Newgate, and bronght up for final judgment on the
last day of the term.

deavouring to provoke him to send a challenge to

pers. The Defendant being out of the kingchni,

sary to make this application.

All the Defendants in this case, except John Se-
te., were brought up ler judgment. 'I hey had been
inchtled the last assizes for the county of Surry, held
at Guildford, for a conspiracy, as assault, cud false
imprisonmeit. upon Francis Attywond.
All the Deendents; except John Secar, were
found gall, of the assault and false imprisonment,
but in-pitted of the conspiracy. John Secar was
eteeore of all the charges in the indidment.
fhis was a case of rather a singular nature, in
orknelt she proceedings of parish oMeers, with re-
al:Wl to paupers and bastard children. was particu-
larly concerned.
It appeared from the Judge's notes, who tried
the mi.., and from other circumstances in the case,
that one Charlotte Field, a pauper, of the parish of
Wallington, in the county of Surrey, a girl of about
eighteen years of age, came before the MAats-
TaATta of the distri:2 of Croydon, and swore her-
self with child of a bastard child, by Francis Atty.
wood, also a pauper of the Berne parish, then about
nineteen years old. It turned out afterwards, how-
ever, that although every symptom and appearance
led to that conclusion, yet, in point of lea, she was
not, at that time, in a state of pregnancy. The
Defendants, as the Churchwardens and Overseers of
the parish, took Attywood into custody, and con-
fined him in several public houses and other places,
in ordsr to compel hint to marry the girl. 'I o this
he uniformly declared his aversion, and endeavoured
te make his escape, but in vain. He was brought
1-efore one Clergyman and another, in order to
have the marriage ceremony performed; but, in
teem quence of his being under age. these Reverend
Gentlemen refused to execrate the office, until the
banns should be regularly published, or the parents
of the parties should conlent to their union. While
the aft of walking to die Clergyman's residence,

~-~---

he was sometime: handenffed to ene of the party.
He was kept in close confinement for the space of
three weeks, until the banns should be regularly
published, during which time he was well ted, and
had plenty to eat and drink, and was supped with
brandy and other liquors abundantly. He would
have endeavoored to escape, but some one or other
always remained in the room, as a watch over him.
At the expiration of the three weeks, he was forced
to church, and there the marriage ceremony was
regularly celebrated. The new-married couple
were brought home, and a plentiful supper pro-
vided ; but he still expressed his dislike and dis-
gust towards his rib, and declared he would not be
compelled to consummate the marriage rites. He
was, however, forced into the bed chamber, and
locked in ; he sat up all night, and at one time en-
deavoured to make his escape through the window,
but this was fastened, and lie was obliged to re-
main there, till released the next morning. It ap-
peared, that an adion at law, for recovery of da-
mages for false imprisonment, as well as the indid-
ment, had been instituted under the direction of the
Magistrates belonging to the distrid. The former,
however, was now declared to be stopped.
Mr. Ga* tow, for the Defendants, made a few
observations, and thought it a very common case,
where a young man had got a young woman with
ehild, the parish officers should endeavour to ac-
commodate matters in the best mealier ; in this
case, both parties being .paupers, they concluded.
that matrimony would be the h. it Method.
Mr. Serjeant Besr and Mr. Notre, ter the pro-
'mention, admitted that the acq I,t,A) of the 9elMds
on the charge of a conspiracy, was piutßiftly
right; but when the young man had been as-
saulted and falsely imp, is used fir three week., aod
aftere-ards forcel to marry a woman w',oru he de.
tested, it was serious matter for the consideration of
the Court.
Mi. Justice Game, in pronouncing the sentence
of the Court. (leas awed, that had tls Defendants
h-en coavided of it! first part of the mpg', namely,
the conspiracy to force a person to marry another
'against their inclination, their punishment must have
been severe. But as they moo• soled coavided of a:
common assault and false imp; isotiment, the Court ,
must 4il_t accordingly. They .could not, however,'
forget the mode in which this asscult and imprison-
ment were *made; at parish officers, they, instead
of ading as they had done, sh,aild have se: a good
example. Under all the circumstances, the Court
ordered and adjudged, that they should be .
soned in the County Gaol of Surrey, in liorso-IS
monger-lane, for the space of six weeks, and be then
discharged.
COOL 2 TReVaNIOII,
Mr. Gaztt.ty moved the Court, that the De-
fendant should be discharged in this case. The
Defendant had been a Member of the late Parlia•
merit, and was arrested by the Plaintiff betwer n the
29th day of Odober,, on which day the Pa. liame.a
was dissolved, and the 3d of November, when the
Hellion for the town of Dover was appointed,

On, Monday I ist. between eleven and twelve
&dock, the Right lion. Sir J. din New:sort, Bart.
attended by an irn-nense concourse cf his friends;
proceeded from the New Rooms to the City Court
House. On his etrival, the' S!'eriir read His Ma-
jesty's precept for eleaing a ,Memi.ker to represent
the City «4 Waterford in Perlia neet.
Mr. Bolton having declined sten lieg a poll;
Rogge? PAULI., Esq. rose, and, in a speech of
considerable length and talent, of which we can
give but a faint sketch, addressed the Eleelors.—
He observed, that in proposing his friend and fellow-
citizen, the Right Hon. Sir Joen Newpoi t, t, a fi
end proper person to represent dos great commercial
city of Waterford in the Imperial Parliament, he
merely enticieered their anxious wishes, and only
spoke the public mind ; indeed, when he comein-
plated the high char:tiller, and animpeached in-
tegrity, of the worthy Rsronet—;is Parliamentary
conde2—his high seinen, an inteewoven with the
affairs ef the country—his ernMent talents—his
close and Unremitting attention to the revreue ani
finances of Ireland, a subjeet conneeled with the
national prosperite, and one comtint and happin
of every Men in the kingdom—when Ie ceneidered
all this, he was really astonished that any serinu:Op-
pesiiion could. have been intended. If sticli a Irian,
with such irresistible claims to their confidence, was
deprived of his net in Parliament, it world not be
merely a reproach for the city of Waterford, hit. in
the peculiar situation of the cautery, a national mi.-
lot tone.
He had another strong inducemrnt for proposing
the Right d)on. ilarcovt to his lellow-citizens; when
be retieettil on our distance from the seat of govern-
ment, and slier, by the Heil steitien he field, he had
it in his power to represent the sentiments of hi;
countryuie,., to our graci.ius Sovereign, he might
say, with truth, that the age of bigotry, intolerance,
and dissatii4aiflion, was at an end; that all ranks
were united,; heart and hand, to support a constitu-
tion which he considered the best in the world, and
would cheat fully sacrifice their lives and fortunes in
opposing that monstrous and .arbitrary despotism
which has enslaved the greatest pact of Europe.
After observing that our veneration for the constitu-
tion could only continue so long as our representa-
tives in Parliament were faith of to the people, Sir.
Paull sai .1, he tclt pride as an Irishman in earnestly
recortmiending the C. airelio: of the Exc!'eqiier
to the Ele Rot► ; in him seCtied else and drl.c.icy of
genius were united with the most p-eseveiing app!i
cation to the dull business of finaece ; he was a plant
of Irish growth,. which lie wished to cherish, until
it ezpaaded iteeif in the sunshine of British ap-
plaits
Anse nitanimnesly returned him on the few
des% n, ..cw'innch stronger were his claims ;he
'resent occasion, wlien he had passed the ()ideal Of
public opinion, and come out pure a.sd unsullied.
After in eking several other obs.rvations, the Hon.
Cen;are. in concluded It rnovirg, 6:it Sir John
Newport be elated to represect use city at Water-
ford in Patliarnent.
Trost es Weise; Etq. if ate-Menet of St: John,
seemided the mo ion.
Sir Joists NEWPORT immediately rose, and ad-
dressed the Lenors in a speech which was much
adnined for neatness of laaguage, and perspicuity
of arrangement. 'We sincerely regret our inability
to report it with any pretension to acenraey, as,
from the extreme pressure of the crowd, weywere
wholly unable to take notes. He said, that ire ado
dressing himself to the Eleetors Of Waterfnrd,%is
friehdi, and felloWecitiems, he had a most pleasing
duty to perform : he had to assure them, that
he Afd life in his bosom, he would gratefully feel
and acknowledge the repeated' flattering proofs of
kindness and alachment they had hcnuured him '
with, and that the prosperity of hit( native city should
be the unceasing oLjeel of his; w=arrant solicitude.
It had pleased his Gracious Sovereign to intrust to
his care the financial lousiness of-this country, and
I his most Relive exertions should be uniformly devot-
ed ti weigh, in the nicest balance, the burdens of
the people, and the imperious neceesities of the State.
he present crisis unquestionable inspired considera-
ble aid, an f large contributimmoesee necessary to
mist that inveterate enemy, who.e boundless Am.
bitten, and thirst of d 'minion, had already sweet
away all Governments that opposed kis grasping ty-
ranny, hnt who, if he dared to attack this country,
would, no doubt, find hearts as tiemA and bonds
as Wong, as those that met; stud defeated, his le-
gions in the deserts of Egyrs and on the plains of
Maids.
It tied been his lei to he called t-1. the C.utt of his
Sovereign, at the same time with men who had cat-
riled into the cabinet of their Keig. the affection of his
people; with the !me greet statesman whose untimely
loss Europe and the whole civilised world lamented,
snatched-from the country at a period of the most
momentous importance to the state. Fie had, how-
ever, the satisfaeti in of retelling, that the same
spirit, which animated that great man, equally ac-
tuated his noble friend, with whom it was his pride
and his glory to have been connelied 110/11 his child-
: hood ; and he was well warranted in sti:s,rting, that
not even the Must: ions chars ter before alluded to,
felt more strongly the vital importance of the well-
being of Ireland to the Empire, nor was more anxi-
ously disposed to promote her best interests.
From the illustrious nobleman who presided over
this kingdom, the nation had every thing to .hope,
which could tend to its happiness sad welfare. Hie
Grace was fully impressed with the importance of
those great and constitutional do lrines which dis-
tinguished the house of Russel, and be accepted
office, to use his own warns, with the express inten-
tion of enforcing the due execution at t!'e laws,
without infringing the liberty of the subject.
If the worthy F.:.lesaors °l-Waterford theuelit pro-
per to honour him with a renewal of their confideuce,
he would faithfully promise the same watchful and
perseveling attrition to their interests, which had,
he was proud so believe, already obtained their
aeprobatioa. However deficient he might be in
ability, in integrity mid assiduity he would yield
to no moan. -

Sir Joao Nen-rues, in a short speech, remitted
his unfeigned thank* to the Eled:irs. Thee h,-
noured by
.his Sovereign sod. his country, ! felt
himself a proud man ; their confidence had irn,-rer-
