At length we have received intelligence from

This result, so much mere favourable than we had
a right to expeft, must excite joy.—Lord
Co NOWOOD'S former dispatches, did not allow us
to hope that he should be able to save even one
of the prizes. Could we have espcned that the
fi.riiius gales, which made even that brave man de-
►pair of attaining even so much, would have spared
our fleet, many ships of which must have suffered

rzw=r--: ;_-

• •
tonsidenable damage in the dreadful battle of Tr.t- I
ialgar A kind Providence, however, thinking, as
we humbly hope, our transgressions sufficiently chz.-
tised by the loss of Lord Nstasow, has graciously
pleased to order our fleet to ride out tke storm in
safety, and to preserve four of the prizes, as a
monument of that great day which gave him
to another and 'a better world. It now appears,
that of the CombinLd Fleet of France arid Spain,
since its return from the West Indies to Etinope,
two Spanish ships of the line were taken by
Admiral C•cot. a ; four French, by Sir Ricua no
Sra *CH AS; and, of the nineteen lost in the battle
of Trafalgar, three Spanish ships, and one French,
remain safe in our hands. Thus, the prizes that
have survived the three engagements, amount to
ten ; of which five are French, and five Spanish.
We understand, that the Hon. Capt. BLACKWOOD
has also brought a list of the killed and wounded in
the ships from which no returns had been made at the
date of the former dispatches from Lord COL LIND-
WOOD.

on Monday evening, was lying in Dover Roads,
with the several bombs and gun-brigs, arrived from
off Boulogne. A boat which landed about four
o'clock states, that the firing on Thursday and Fri-
day night, was occasioned by the explosion of the
?nut tars on board the bomb ships, which threw
the enemy's flotilla into contusion, and forced
part to make for tlie harbour. rim° run-boats were
driven on thwe dismasttd. The etemy fired shot
and shells in all diredi ms. We are happy to state,
however, that no lives were l'ist on board our fieet
—Our bombs, particularly the Veuving and Voirano,
kept up a tremendous firing. The Vettntius, we are
sorry to add, lost two boats, and had five men badly
wounded, in a boat blowing up one of the entrny's
vessels, under the daleaion of Lieutenant Drat.

Oar theatrical season begins to draw near a con-
clusion, and the managers have shewn themselves

Her last performance was AtOt Dor-icon, in the Co-
medy of Wires as My, Were. She pourtrayed the
part with all that ease and elegance that so eminent-
ly distinguish her, and give her a decided superiority
over every other atiress at this theatre. After the
play, she spoke an appropriate address on the death
of the lamented Nrasos, and gave it with such
effea, as to dissolve the whole house into tears. in
the afterpiece, this favourite daughter of Mlle
passed, from one extreme to the other ; for her
Alin Lucy, in The Virgin Cioissoled, kept the house
in a continued burst of applause. When she
made her curtest', her departure was marked by uni-
versal approbation from a crowded and elegant
audience, who expressed theifhearty wishes for her
• safe arrival in Dublin.
The Rooms are finally closed for the season ; and

CITY BUSINESS.

GUILDHALL.

A Court of Common Council was held at Guild-
hall, ye,tettlay, at %Caleb were present, theßight
Honourable the Lotto MAYO,, several An Dittoes.
'teems °tot, Somers, and 170 Commoners.
After the previotns I.usin~►s was disposed of_
'1 Right Hon. the Lotto MA 11 Ott blated, that
he had received a letter from the Secerrsatv of
STATE, relative to the funeral of the late Lord
Viscount Netoorr ; but, as the body of ti-at lament.
el Admit al had not yet arrived, he thought it would
be premature to take the subjed now into considera-
tion. He added, that, on the arrival of the body, he
would immcdiatel; convene a Court for the purione.
Mr. So m trio. Utica rose to bring forward the
motion of which he had given notice on a former
day, for ereding a Monument in the 'Guildhall of
the City of Lotsdc•n, to the memory of the late
Lord Viscount Not.sora. He took a review of the
gallant exploits performed by the Noble Admiral.
aid of the various services in which he was engaged
limn the twelfth year if his age, down to the :aid
day which deprived the country of his valuable itfe.
—ln this historical review, Mr. Dixon dwelt rani-
cularly upon the patriotic and disinterested spirit
which influenced all the anions of the gallant Ad.
miral, without any regard to private emolument,
as a circumstance which offert d an additional claim
to the gratitude of his coma, y. Alter expatiatirg
uoon the subjed in an elegant, and emphatic +Tonto
Mr. Dixon moved the Court, That a Committee be
appointed, consisting of all the Aldermen, and one
Commoner, out of each wool, who shall he author-
ised to procure models or designs, for a monument,
to be erected in the Guildhall of the city of London,
to perp.ouate the memory of that illustrious hero,
Lord Viscount Nitscro ; which was seconded by
Mr. Jo Nies Dixon, and carried unanimously in the
affirmative ; and a Committee seas accordingly Ap-
pointed.
Mr. SA %MIL DIXON said, he must claim the for.
ther indulgence of the Court, upon a subjed which
he was cinvit•ced required only to be ooticed, to
induce the Court to adopt it. After an handsome
eulogium, he moved the thanks to Vice-Admiral
Lord COLLINGWOOD, Rear-Admiral the Earl of
NORTlflisll, and Rear. Admiral Sir /llCel AID Sralle
CH•111..-.( For padioaers see the front of :•.is oopor.)
The Right Honourable the Lees, MA TUC Lill
before the Court a letter he had received from the
Honourable Mrs. Do re CR. offering her services to
the City, to execute any monument they may ap.
prove, to be ereded in Guildhall, as above de.
scribed ; for which the Court voted their unanimous
thanks to her ; and referred her letter to the Corn.
mittee, to take into C.'nsiJuration.
The Court voted their un u.isnous thanks to tits
late L'Ji.o MA YOR.—( For winch tee the fro..t ,g that
imper.)
After this business was gong through, a report
was read, relative to a new road, intended to be
made from Blackfriar's Bridge, to Hicks's Hall.
It was strongly opposed by several Gentlemen.
They contended that such a measure would be very
imprudent, and urged, in support of their argu.
ment, the great loss sustained by the City in some
of its late speculations, upon the plan of improve..
ment. The exp,nce of the improvements at Snow
11111 and Temple Rar, :according to the estimates of
the City 'Surveyors, was not to exceed 100.0001. but
was since found to amount to 500,0001 and mist of
the houses remained unoccupied. The principal
Speakers were, Mr. WAIYNMSN, Mr. Box, Mr.
Pee RING. and Mr. Diens. It being now near four
o'clock, the Court becarn impatient for the question.
which was put, and the proposed plan was toga.
tired by a great majority.

On the arrival of the accounts of the late mast
brilliant siiccesses, which have blessed His M at [ITT'S

with his usual generosity, ordered one hundred
boll, of coals to be distributed among the poor of
Aberdeen.
The preparations for the funeral of Lord Nttsou
are now making in St. Paul's Cathedral, and a brick
vault is preparing under the centre of the dome.
A melancholy circumstance occurred at Chep.
stow, during the rej sicings at that place, on Friday
se'nnight, in celebration of the late naval victories.
A boy, about seven years of age, who had been to
witness the filing of the Volunteers, on his return
home, crept under the table, where his mother, af-
ter calling him, and receiving no answer, found him
dead. It is suppo,e,l that the buy was frightened
to death by the firing, as he often tell into fits at the
rep irt of a gun.
On Monday last, an inquest was taken at Coates,
before W. Teton, Gent. Coroner, on view of the
body of Jqlii Smith, set vant of Pere! LLVICRSASII,
Esq. of Stroud, who was unto-tunately killed, whillt
hunting, by a blow he received, occasioned by his
coming in cont46l with the limb of a tree, when
leaping over a hedge ; by which the spinal marrow
was so much injured, that he became paralytic, and
died soon after. lie was a valuable servant ; and
his loss is much regretted by his master, to who,i
the greatest prais: is duo, for his kind attention ;3 ,t 1
