UNPORTUN4TZ CATASTROPHE.

Mr. and Mrs. Sidney, of Lemon-street, Good-
mans'-bold;, a short time since, learned that a
young female was in great distress, in their neigh-
bourhood. They immediately determined to visit
her, and to alleviate her misery, if possible. They
found her young. beautiful, and unfortunate ; at
the age of twenty-two, sinking into the grave with
a broken heart, and, to deepen the scene, an infant
at her breast, looking, in vain. for that support s'ie
was unable to bestow. The following is her Jett-
ing story :—The daughter of very respeaable pa-
rents in Holland—she became attached to a young
man of Brussells, but of inferior rank. Her friends
refusing their consent to their union. they eloped,
and came to this country about a year since. 01
their arrival in Dorsetshire they were married, and,
unacquainted with the language, they wandered
about, and at last reached London. By that time
their money was spent, no friend to apply m, no
pro,pea opening to replenish it, they met with a
(Ting, who was engaging men for the East Indies,
and the husband enlisted with him, under the most
positive promise, that be would take care of the wife.
who was far advanced in a state of pregnancy.
Eight weeks since he sailed. 'Their patting is not
to be described. It was for ever. All the horrors
of her situation broke upon her mind, without
friend in this country, or a shilling ; for when the
ship had sailed. the crimp refused to pay the money
her husband had sold himself for. In this state she
was taken ill, and, after great sufferings. bad an
innocent in her misery. This sunk her
mote, anciPlrreerfused all manner of sustenance, and
seemed determined to terminate her existence. Every
kindness in the power of her landlady, a very poor
but benevolent woman, was shewn to her. in this
situation Mr. and Mrs. Sidney visited her. It was
not casual assistance they offered. They took the
sufferers to their home. Min Sidney, as an admi-
nistriog angel, attended on the fair invalid. and,
while 6y medicine she soothed her disease, poured
the balm of comfort into her afilifted mind. Bat it
Game too We; the hand of death had seised her and
claimed her for its own. On Friday fortnight she
died; on the previous day having swallowed her
wedding ring, that death should not separate her
' from the first pledge of her husband's love. The
gentlemen of the Dutch vestry heard her story, and
they are always ready to assist foreigners, particu-
larly from their own country, expressed their in-
tention of becoming the proteitors of the mother
and child. She was afterwards very decently in-
terred. at their expence. They placed the child at
nurse, and have writ en to Holland, in the hope of
discovering its natural preteaors, and who. per-
haps, never would have ben found oat as the
mother could not be prevailed on to disclose their
mines, or giv* any due to thews. The child has
since dieds and the same genidsmss ha it interred
itt the eisis et in iihrumate amber.

Of the twelve ships of the line that were fitting

General Moreau will embark, in a few days, with
hiq family, for New York.

fleet, of eleven ships of the line, five frigates, and
two corvettes, arrived off our harbour. It is sup-

lying here will be ready to join them. The five
English ships of war, which have hitherto blockaded
us, are still near the entrance of the harbour.

STATE OF THE ARMY.

Col. CRAUFURD, seeing the Chancellor of the
Exchequer in his place, wished to be informed by
him whether it ras his intention, in the present Ses-
sion, to propose any additional measure for the bet-
ter supply of the regular military force of ti .e coun-
try? As he was himself convinced that without some
such measure this nation could not get out of its
present contest, with glory, or, indeed, without some
discomfiture, he wished to apprise the Hoose that,
should the Minister's answer be in the riev.ative, he
should think it his duty to offer some prop.ositions on
the subjeet.
The CIiANCELLOR of the EXCHEQI;Eft
rep lied, that, from the non-attendance of the Hon.
Member, in the earlier part of the Session, he was
not, perhaps, aware, that a measure had already
been adopted, for allowing men to enlist from the
militia into the regulars, which, he was happy to
s.ly, had the most beneficial effea in this country ;
and, he believed also, in Ireland ; though the ufil-
cial returns had not yet been received. feeling,
therefore, the means thus resorted to, as productive
as could be expeaed, it was not his intention to
propose any other in the present session.
Colonel CRAUI URD replied, that notwithstand-
ing his necessary absence from the llouse, in the
earlier part of the session, he was not unacquainted
with the measure alluded to; but, as its area,
whatever it might be, could only be temporary
and limited, lie should submit what occurred ;o
him upon the subjea, though he was not at the
present moment picpared to name a day.

Sir WILLIAM DOLREN brought up two Private ERs

The F al of SUFFOLK said, he shoukl take an opportu-
nity, when he saw any of His Majesty's Ministers in their places,
to give notice of his idtention to bring forward, at some dis-
tant day, a Motion for an Enquiry into the state of Ireland ;
this he was induced to do, in consideration of some matter
which transpired in the course of the late important &sea...4°m
in that House, as well as in ronsequeme of the rontradifiory
st.rtements and opinions which had been given as to the present
state of the country. When Ministers should he presort, he
would state some farther grounds fur bringing forward inch •
Motion, which Motion, he believed he sliou'cl make in about a
fortnight
The Earl of DARNLEY said, lie should move to ohs-
env', the Order for summoning their LouLhips to-inor-
row, upon hit intended Motioot relative to the Naval Do-
cuments and Papers which were before the House, as he
conceived it may be inconvenient to many Noble Lords to at-
tend On that day The sable& was of that importance, that
it should be discussed in • full House, and the more so, in con-
sequence trf some circumstances which shad lately tak►n place.
He road trot then particularise on whit future day he should
brine forward his intended Motion, but molt probably it
would he in the cowsa of the next week ; but due notice
should be given in the internal. His Lordship then moved
that the Order above mentioned be discharged; which was or-
dered aceording'y.

These races, which ended on Thursday last, afford-
ed good sport, and were very fashionably and nu.
'

ral and Lady Charlotte Lennox, Major and Mrs.
Bloomfield, Capt. Blagrave, Mr. Mrs. and Miss
Trederoft, Mr. J. Smitn, brother to Mrs. Fitzher-
ben, Mr. Grzrae, icc. &c.
lOn the last evening the whole party went from
Goodwood, to the Sall at Chichester, which was
truly spiendide and kept the company till a late
I hour. The first day provim wet. the Duke of
Richmond, who was not wholly recovered from a
fit of the gout, did not visit the ground ; but the
second day being fair, his Grace attended, in his
carriage, and appeared in good spirits. Mr. and
Mrs. Orby Hunter, and the Hnn. Berkley Craven,

Thursday last, at _ Crown Inn, at Torts-
mouth, a most superb entertainuieut was given, to
celebrate the great Vietnry of 'Trafalgar. Tra•
hundred and thirty of the most distinguished Gentry
in Portsmouth and Gosport, and the ailjacent
hourhood, were present. There were 7s ladies in the
rooms. Lady CARTER, was Lady Patroness ; and
Admiral Sir ISAAC COFFIN, Master of the Cere-
monies. They did the honours of the night in a
manlier peculiarly grateful to the elegant assem-
blage. Sir ISAAC paid great atteriiion to the
younger officers, which was highly fla,tering to
them, and honnurable to himself. There were a
great number of Ladies from Fareham and Titch-
field. In honour of the night, Mr. lIF.auAN, had
got the Ball-room chalked with device:, which pro-
duced a very fine effeß. The plan was executed in
coloured chalks, contrasted with admirable skill,
which produced the appearance of rich tapestry.
The whole was divided into compartments, surround-
ed with a very rich and elegant burder In the
first, at the top, were G. R, with the crown, sur-
mounted by the British flag, and " God Save Ibe
King" below, en a scroll. Ihe next panne' had the
battle of Trafalgar, the blowing up of the Achille
being represented in a most lively manner ; in the
centre panne' were Lord NIELSON'S Arms, very no-
curately done. The next compartment represented
the vi Rory of Sir R. Sr sadIIS N. And the lea

were given by the Most Noble the Marquis of

portico was placed a most beautiful transparency,
in which the bust of Lott] Net.sops was placed, on
a pedestal, inscribed to his memory ; in the centre
was a figure Of Britaallia, in a dignified attitude,

of the opposite side of the picture ; ;.r.und the
frame, " Gvel tare the Max ;" the whole brilliantly
illuminated, and decorated with a border of colour-
ed lamps. The arrangements and supper displayed

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
FROM THE UL rul PAPERS.

PARIS, MARCO 20.
'lite following article appeared in the lionitenr of
this day The absurdity of a treaty of subsidy
berteeen Sweden and England is such, that the King
of Sweden himself appears to disavow it. The fol-
lowing is a Letter from Lord Harrowby to Lord
Govier, written on the sth of Nov. t 804, which
affords elucidations on this and other points, that
will be read with interest :
FITR ACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER FROM 1.01113 lIAR-

RONNY TO LORD 00WIta, pATED NOV. 4, 1804.
1 hope you will prevail on Russia, if not to fire
great guns, at least to publish thundering manifesi
toes about the seizure of the Chevalier Rumbold
" Sweden has sent the account of the expense
23,000 men, amounting to about forty-eight millions'
of livers Tournois; and I conclude from it, that the
Swedish Ministers have made this account on pur-
pose to have it rejeEted. We know nothing yet of
the first negotiation.
" 'I he dispatch of this day is particularly calcu-
lated for the Court of Berlin, because it has hitherto
shewn very little inclination to enter into those views.
But even Vienna requires much spurring on; it ap-
pears from the reports of Lord Arthur Paget, tat
affairs have not been more forwarded by the nego-.
Elation of II AWISOWSICV.
" As long as they will complain on the one part.
and not make any plain proposals on the other, it
will be impossible to get forward. The Envoys from
England and Russia, at Vienna, must be able to
say, at the same time, make a defensive alliance
with us, in case the consequences of the Treaty
cause a war with France ; here the number of
Russian troops which you may calculate upon; bee
'you have the plan of the campaign; Mere, what we
propose, if successfals and Er,t• the subsidies which
England Kill give. If no overtures can he made
sufficiently explicit and positive to obtain a clear an-
swer, it cannot be hoped that Austeia will beoblig-
ed to declare herself. Another year will elapse,
with proposals on the one part, and rejellions on the
other; so that resistance, always supposed fruitless,
will at last become sn indeed.
" Although we dare not press Russia to procei d
immediately to allive measure:, vet if, contrary t.)
our expeCtation, she should be inclined to proceed.
you will take care not to oppose it, especially ;f
Prussia should be inclined to take a part with her.
All our friends are well. lam going to Bath for a
fortnight, &c."
