• • LONDON, .
SATURDAY, Novataaaa S.
Three Gottenburgh Mails arrived, at an early
hour last morning. The following curer% of a letter
it the only part of their contents of any interest :-
4. Lund, in ScanM, Off. 23.
" t have to tell you sad news ! The Prussian Army is to-
tally defeated. Toe Queen of Pruesia and her Children are at
this moment in Stralsund, whither it is sad the King Swe-
den 1721 sent over to invite her to come over and take refuge in
this coon try ."
The Bulletins of the Grand Army carry down
the operations to the 20th inclusive, at which date,
the French had only reached Magdeburgh on the
left; and did not, on the right, arrive at Bertha un-
til the 24th. The defeat alluded to in the above en-
trad, therefore, evidently relates to the battle of
• the 14th. Of what passed in Stralsund, how-
ever, the writer in Lund may be presumed to
be better informed ; and it is very probable that
the Queen of Pastas♦ and her childsaa have
sought an asylum in that country. It is very
true, that the Hamburgh Paper represented Her
MAJLSTY at Custrin, at that date, but the intel-
ligence is very unsatisfailory and confused, of
every thing relative to Prussia, since the 14th. Be-
sides, the very papers which stated that the Quatro
was at Cumin, add, that she had been previously at
Steuin. Why, having gene so far north as Stet-
tin, she should turn back to Custtin, we cannot
easily conceive. The inference, therefore, is, that
from Stettin she continued her route for Stralsund.
When the acrimony with which BONAPAITZ has
pursued this ami.shle woman, is considered, every
good mind must feel a■ increased interest in her
s rfety. Imperfc.l, however, as the intelligence
from the theatre of war, ►y the Elbc, has been, we
are not likely to be gratified by its continuance.
The ordinary communication by. post is completely
suspended at Hamburgh. Letters were neither
forwarded nor received ; and the Mails of the 24th
and 28th, fcr Prussia, Russia, Ac. having been
brought back there, the Postmaster gave notice,
on the ere:ring cf the 51st, "that he would uo

-

longer receive letters for any of those countries,
nit he could sot 'engage to forvratd them, until some
political change took place."
We have received American Papers to the
14th last, from which we hive mask some
extradts. The destrultion of the French ship Lope-
Neu*, of 74 guns, by the boats of the ittiampus, on
the American coast, is objefted to as a breach of
neutral rights ; and the French Consul at Norfolk
has refused to acknowledge her crew as prisoners of
war, alledging that she was taken within the juris-
dietan of the United States. The disputes between
the Americans and the Spaniards, respecting their
boundaries in Louisiana, have assumed a serious ap-
pearance. A Spanish force, of 3000 men, had passed
the Red River, determined to attack the Ameri-
cans, who were preparing for resistance.
A letter, of which the following is a espy, was
received yesterday by a respeCtable house in town,
from its Correspondent at Cork
Cork, November 2.
" Our present occasion for writing to you is, to inform you
that a vowel is jest arrived at this pert from Lisbon, in seven
days pang., the Captain of which reports, that a vessel had
arrived at Lisbon from the Brazils, with the intelligence that
the Spaniards had tallied, being reinforced from the other
provinces, and had slackest Buena Arra, and succeeded in
recapturing that important place; we have mot ►een able to
see the Captain, but we hope by the nest post to send you
farther particulars"
This account is not credited. —The Trabiarlsie
Packet, arrived on the Ist instant at Falmouth from
Lisbon, in five days, brought rus intelligence of this
nature ; and yet, if the dates are correCt, she sailed
from Lisboa &day later than the vessel arrived at
Cork.

A gentleman arrived in London, yesterday, from
America, after a passage.of ea days. He states,
that two French ships of the line and one frigate
were in the Chesapeak, and one ft ;gate in the Dela-
ware. They had been.surveyed, and laid up to
undergo repairs, which were estimated at 180,000
dollars.
The lisllera, Law, from Charleston, is on shore,
near Liverpool.
The Ahrrieseri, Aaciati, from Vera Cruz, for
England, is lost at Guernmy ; about 80,000 dollars
saved.
The, Iris, NICHOLSON, from Petersbutgb, for
London, is lost in the Gulph of Finland.
The Lavinia, DRI'MMOND, from Petersbargh,
for London, is lost off Anstruther.
Capt. H AWK ea is appointed to the Afetamptit, at
Halifax ; and Capt. For Fir c is come home in the
command of the rawer, from that station.
The Eleetion for the city of Dublin is fixed for
Tuesday next, the 11th instant—The brewers, pub-
licans, shoemakers, and barbers, have declared in
favour of Mr. GR AT T AN. That lOr the Queen's
County is fixed for Wednesday. the 12th ; and for
the county of Leitrim, on Friday, the 14th.
Lieut. Jonas is appointed to the impress service
on the River Thames.
On Tuesday, the remains of the late much-
lamented General Sincoe, were removed from his
apartments, at the Rev. Archdeacon Mooaa's, in
Exeter, to his family seat at Wolford Lodge, for
interment. The funeral was most respeflably at-
tended; three mourning coaches followed the hearse,
in which were the chief mourners, the confidential
friends of the late General, sad his servants. After
them came the General's carriage, attended by two
servants in deep mourning, on horseback. In suc-
cession we noticed the following gentlemen in car-
riages ;
Generals Thewles and Thomas, with the staff, Lords gill-
ro,d and Gm•es, Sir Ht.,l},rd Nonbcote, Sir William Pala, Sir
John Kennaway, the Malt Stleffif, Admiral Richard Graves,
Mr. Baring, Mr. Morshead, Colonel Chester, CotunaeiccoCuonla:
nage, Major Dickenson, Mr. D.lryrsole, &c.
All the troops having quitted Exeter, on
of the EleEtion, the Exeter regiment of Volunteers
assembled at the three-mile stone, on the Honiton
road, to pay a compliment to the deceasi.! Central.
From thenec, his remains were escorted hy a squad-
ron of Dragoons, the Volunteers assembling at
various passes to line the road, whilst the procession
passed on. At Honiton, the troops were all drawn
out, and minute guns fired. In short, every respzet
which could be paid to an esteemed and mii:h-
lamented Commander. was shown on this occasion.
The body was interred by torch light, alscut six in
the evening.

EPISTLES, ODES, AND OFHER POEMS,
(A new Publication,)
(SITRACT 71101 i A SSW YORK PAPEIL.)
The good people of Virginia may remember, that,
some time since, this little Cock Sparrow of a song-
ster, came hopping across the Atlantic, to sing his
amours in the wilds of America. As we had seen
nothing of the kind so chirping and so light, he was
much noticed and admired, and every one was de-
lighted to hear the little bird chimp his Greek. He
could make rhymes on any and every little thing—
s nose, au eye, a cheek, a curl, a lip, the tip of an
ear, a little fly. a flea, or a gnat's toe nod, enchanted
him. Fle looked like a being born in a jelly-glass,
banded round on a cake, fed on sugar plumbs, and
educated among the dreams of fancy. The little
spirit could bide himself under a lady's eye-lash, and
expire with delight. In his Odes, he gets into a mil-
lion of scrapes; jumps from a tendril, hides in a curl,
sips from a lip, perches en a bosom, tumbles from a
tucker, gets on the edge of many a precipice, with-
out falling over ; and to the roma' of dreadful ca-
verns, without tumbling is; alway+ingingAsighieg.
and evaporating ; one would think he had a thou-
sand souls, charged from his electric fancy, each
ready to fly without any other centaft than the at-
mosphere only of a Delciaaec.
America, it smash afforded this pretty fellow
many of these visionary delights, and he had many
opportunities of dying inexpressibly at Bermuda ;
but the little ingrate no sooner gets home, than he
begin. to abuse us. In a note to his poems, be says,
• The women of Bermuda are oot generally hand-
some, but they have an affationate languor in their
look, which is in ins ; esey have a pre-dispo-
sition to loving, which, without being awakened by
any particular objell, diffuses itself through the ge-
neral manner, in a tone that never fails to fascinate.
The men of the island are not very civilised, and
the old Philosophers who imagined that, after this
life, men would be changed into mules, and women
into turtle doves, would find the metamorphosis, in
some degree. anticipated at Bermuda !" Of Wil-
liam and Mary College, that has produced so many
men great in science, particularly in politics and
oratory, he says, This College gave me but a me-
lancholy idea of republican seats of learning. The
contempt for the elegancies of education is no where
more grossly conspicuous than in Virginia. The
levelling system is applied to education, and has all
the &ft which its partisans could desire, by pro.
dudes a most extensive equality of ignores:ea' He
then, in defame cf the Bishop, tails at the morals
too of the place. Of poor Norfolk, which is the
threshold over which all travellers stumble, he
says—
" Norfolk, it must be owned, is an unfortunate
specimen of America. 'The charafferistics of Vir-
ginia, in general, are nor such as can delight either
the politician or the moralist, and at Norfolk they
are exhibited in their least attradive form. At the
time that we arrived, the yellow fiver had not then
disappeared, and every odour that assailed us in the
streets, very strongly accounted for its visitation. It
is, in ouch, a most disagreeable plea, and the best
the Journalist or Geographer can say of it is, that
it abounds in digs, in ioroes, and in democrats."
!f-
-these is no truth in these remarks of Moore; we
ought to pity him instead of being angry with him ;
for he was so near to the ground, that every odour
assailed him with double tied ; and he had such
microscopic eyes, that he could see worms in the
fairest face ; but he could neither see any thing
large or white on any subjeli that required a capa-
cious mental survey; be used to ask. where
were our poets—had we any t We bad scarce

t Dwight's OJe Voice was too strong to whisper
imbecilities to the flaxen ear-locks of ideal beau-

hfstnco Capaw's white robe,: to screen his frail form
from the warring winds of the Andes ; and Hum-
phreys!' would have sent him sailing adrift in a
little toy.ship, to sing songs to the fish's, in ti e
waters of his western woad ; but all these adeen-
tnres, Moore, from the peculiar stru&ure of his
eyes, happily avoided, and he is still hastily flying

LIBELS.
On Monday, the nth of August, the Chief
Justice of New Yolk delivered Judgment in the
case of the Commonwealth F. W. Duane. Duane
had published articles in 1 he Aurora newspaper, of
which lie is the editor and pi oprietor, which were
charged as libels upon the Spanish Minister, ihe
Marquis Yrujo. Upon the charge, a warrant was
'granted by the Mayor of Philadelphia. and Duane.
havfag ritused to enter into recognisance as well
fur his apPeoronce as for his good behaviour, was
commtned to prison.
A 1101.•aa Co, put was then moved and granted,
to bring up the body ; and Duane's Counsel argil's!
that he ought to be discharged, the warrant being
illegal, as Mr. Duane .onAht to have been required
to give bail for his appearance only, and not also
for his good behaviour.
The CRIIT JUSTiCi, in delivering judgment,
dwelt a rood deal upon the case of the Common-
ve:alth v. Cobbctt, so fir as it related to the binding
over to good behaviour; but, lie said, it differed ma-
terially front the ease of Duane. In the warrant
against Cob:sett, he was charged with numerous
libels against different persons, of allot which, upon
Lis appearance before the Chief Justice, he avowed
himself the author i bat in the present case, Duane
W 44 charged with two libels against sine and the
same person, and he had not confessed himself the
author of tither. Under these circumstances, there-
fart'. lye ordered the Defendant to be discharged,
upon enuring ieto a recognisance for his ap-
ance only.

SAIL and °TIMIS e. IIOWCIOTT.
This was an action upon a policy of inserance en
the ship Annabelle. from the coast of Africa to the
West Indies. and was tried the sittings after last
term. at Guildhall, when a verdia was obtained for
the Plaintiffs.
Mr. GARILOW moved to set aside the verdia, and
eater a nonsuit. on the grounds of barratry. The
Captain of the ship in question had a full discretion
to trade to any part of the coast be thought fit,
with instruaions to use the utmost expedition pos-
sible. He arrived at Cape Coast, but finding a great
scat city of slaves there, he went to a small Dutch
port, called Detrain*, where they were to be had
.In plenty; as, notwithstanding the war, for the
convenience of trade, the English were allowed to
traffick without any molestation The Captain had
jest completed ►sis cargo, when an English frigate
came up, and captured the ship in question ; and
sbq was afterwards condemned as enemy's provenly:
It further appeared. that the Captain had a caw
mission upon the sale of the slaves. And, upon'
,these grounds, he considered it barratry.
Lord Et. tansoaeseaa meanie:led to have saved
the point on the trial. It certainly was trading to
an enemy's pert, without any direa authority so to
do ; it was a new case, and extremely fit to be con-
sidered.
The Court accordingly granted a rule to :hew
cause.
aCkOALL coons f. the fIUNDIIIiD er PINNING, is
the COUPTY of SALOP.
This was an adios brought(under the authority
of an old aa of Queen Elizabeth) against the Hun-
dred, to recover the value of a stack of corn, which
had been burnt by design : it was tried at the last
assizes for the county of Salop, and a verdia ob-
tained for the Plaintiff.
Mr. Serjeant Wtst taros moved to set aside the
verdia in this ca..e, and for leave to enter a non-
suit.
By the all of Queen Elizabeth, when a stack of
corn is burnt, by design, the owner is to give notice
to the " next adjoining town, village,' or hamlet,"
within two days, in order to enable him to recover
the value. In this case it appeared, that the Plaint-
iff d d tell a man who was on the premises while
the stack of corn was aaaally on fire, and after-
wards gave notice to th. parish ; the learned Ser-
jeanr, therefore, contended, that this notice was
not sufficient to satisfy the provisions of the aa,
inasmuch as the notice was not given to 6* the nest
adjoining town, village, or hamlet,"ibut only to the
parish.
The Court granted a rule to shew cause.

On Wednesday evening, between nine and ten
o'clock, a young man, of the name of Dasren, who
stood fully committed nn a charge of having robbed
his employer, a shopkeeper in 3ishopsgate-street,

WESTMINSTER ELECTIOY.
FIFTH DAY.
The poll commenced yesterday at the usual hour,
and Mr. Pauli was, as formerly, the first Candidate
upon the Hustings. Sir Samuel Hood soon afterl
wards appeared ; hut Mr. Sheridan still continued
absent, through indisposition. Riotous as the scene&
were upon the four preceding days, they were no-
thing to those which tock place upon this. The
fineness of the day seemed to elevate the spirits of
the rabble, and to augment the numbers of the
more respelahle part of the populace. Every sur-
rounding scaffold was filled to such a degree, that
many were afraid of their giving way, and level-
ling all ranks with the ground Many ladies, of
seeming respeflability, graced this most turbulent
assembly with their presence ; at least, they deigned
to look down upon them, and apparently took great
delight in the novelty of the scene, Much mere
variety of opinion evidently prevailed through-
out the crowd, than on any of the preceding
days ; in WI, it was often thought that a pitched
battle was about to be fought by the adherents of
one party against those of another, each looking up

they resperftively espoused. Mr. Shericlan's party
appeared in much greater numbers than before, and"
repeatedly made their way forcibly, and with flying.
colours, throng:l the midst of the people, along the
front of the hustin.4,. Although Mr. Sheridan was
not present hirosof, they did not seeds to be, by
any means, deficient in energy and perseverance.
Many blows were given and rr.ceivA 'on all sides f'l
the contest appearing to consist chiefly in regard to
which of the parties should prevail in carrying
their colours triumphantly through the multitude.
—Sir Samuel Hood was frequently addressed by
some hardy tar, hoisted upon the back or shoulders
of some one of his comrades, and to all their elo-
quent speeches the Gallant Admiral uniformly
bowed with the greatest affability and condescension.
Many experienced bruisers, bludgeon-men, and
others, who were most mischievously inclined, were
taken into custody, This turbulent and noisy
scene continued without im:rmission during the
whole of the polling, and, at the close of it, the pope.
lace became so impetuous, from their easereess to
hear what each of the Candidates had to set forth to
them, that it was not thought a single word of either
party would be audible.
Mr. ISVITTOIN came forward, and spoke Very
boldly in favour of Mr. Sheridan.
Mr. Perna Moottic-1, Gentlemen, you well re-
member what I said to you yesterday. 1 told you
that I would not desert you, but that I would per-
severe in endeavouring to make myself be heard
and understood by you. I now inform you, that
the work is almost complete. The Votes are now
all gone, and Mr. Paull, oar adversary, has lost
his k.kion ; but, of his whole two thousand Votes,
he has sir hundred and thirteen bad onesl—Spurieus
impostor I These bad ones have bees drawn out
under the influence of the porter pots he has told
you of. To-day we have polled three to one, as I
told you yesterday. To-morrow, I dare say, we
shall poll fife to one. I have no doubt about it.
This is the influence 'of good sense over the
porter pots. If Mr. Paull, your Candidate, has
any good sense, he will retire to-morrow, and
put an tpd to dismal*, and confusion. He will
go to Rreotford to support his Honourable Friend,
Sir Francis Burdett, who will, no doubt, need all
the assistance he can procure in the contest in which
he is about to engage. I told you before, that this
unknown Candidate would soon stick fast, although
he said, that 3000 pots of porter would do, The
porter seems now to be all gone; but what will eon
say as to 613 bad votes ? First of all, he made his
eleaion void, by a riot and tumult he kicked up.
Then came the bad and corrupt votes. Let us have
no levellers I No bloodshed ! Gentlemen, one day
more closes on him for over. It closes upon hien
like death. I have only to request you'll to-moirose
show the same alacrity and aaivity for Mr. Sheri-
dan and the gallant Sir Samuel Hood, as you hate
done this day. These Gentlemen have united their
forces for the purpose of driving away the enemy."
The state of the Poll was now declared :
For Sir Samuel Hood 2753
For Mr. Paull 5:r17
For Mr. Sheridan.. 2054
Sir Samuel. H 000—" Gentlemen, the state of
the Pell this day has shewn, that the sensible part of
the community will ever prevail, in support of our
glorious Constitution and liberties. I trust that to-
morrow will yet further elucidate this faft, that your
Constitution is not to be lost or injured by the fol-
lowers of Sir F.ancis Burdett; and that we shall
completely get the better of that faQion. I feel
great pleasure in seeing you thus coming forward
voluntarily. I never made an attempt to force any
man. The Candidate who has united his efforts
with me, shall ever meet with my approbation. He
has ever been a firm supporter of the Constitution of
his country. In the times of the greatest dangers,
and when riot and confusion prevailed nmongst our
fleets, you well know his manly and spirited conduct.
1 am fully sensible of the faithful interest and con-
cern he takes in the weltare of his country, and am
convinced he deserves the aid of every honest man."
Mr. Faust Gentlemen.you have witnessed the
scenes of riot and confusion which have taken place
this day, and they are at present continued, in order
that I may not be heard. I have now v: state to
you, that I never had an idea that tyranny could be
got the better of without a struggle. I knew of the
infamous and abominable coalition which had
boon formed by the Treasury, and I also knew
that people from all the Public Offices would
become clamorous against the popular opinion.—
I was perfealy aware that the Treasurer of the
Navy, and the gallant Admiral, would make a great
effort. These efforts, however, rill only redouble
mine. I pledge myself, that to the last of the four-
teen days, here I stand. There was not a single
Clerk in one of the offices, either of the Admiralty
or Somerset Home. who was not brought here to-
day, to yore for that man, the Treasurer of the Navy,
that apostate of public liberty.—(Lard apoidiaxies.)
Gentlemen, I have only to hope, that your efforts
will be commensurate to mine."
The numbers polled in the course of the day
were—

This was rapturously applauded with three times

Mr, SCOTT then proposed the health of
Lord wit:rain Russell, and the Independent Madam et

His Lordship rose, and sincerely thanked the
Meeting for the honour they had conferred upon
him. The first praitical lesson he had ever learned
of genuine liberty was in the City of Wenminster,
and in the very room that be new sat in, while can-
vassing for that great and illustrious charafkei,
whose memory they had so lately drank, wilts so
much respeet and veneration. Eighteen Teals ago
he was first introduced to the Elearns of turre ,

Lord Wu. Ressect. again rose, and proposed the
health of " Mr. Byng." As he gave this toast noir
differently from what he had ever done before, he
thought it necessary to say a tew words uon rite
subjea. He had ever been in the habit of giving
the health of Mr. Byng conjointly with Sir Francis
Burdett, till now, and he was sorry to say. that the
Noble Baronet's apostacy from the true yriociples Of
the Whig interest, had lost the support of that most
respeaable body. His apostacy, trans a late event,
wasnow too notorious; and although several most re-
speaable Gentlemen must be absent open the present

could not be supposed that he would longer sup-

Polluting. that it had been conimunicated to him
within the last five minutes. that all the teal, in-
dependent, and hoooutable Els:toes of Westminster,
had united in support of his Right Hon. Friend,

, these Hotioutable Personages had determined to
support the csimnsos cause, at their own common

This city is now returning to its wonted tranquil-
lity. Y,-sterday the chairing was concluded. Mr.
Patteson only was chaired; he was greeted and ae.

i . purple and pink, met the chair, and accompanied it
to Mr. Patteson's honse. in Surrey-street. They
were on their return from the Shire-hall, where they

There was a dingier yessorday IR the White Swan,
