NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

DOVER, MAY 11.

- -
Four vessels are in sight from Calais, with a
. press of sail. By a boat from Boulogne, I leant
that no news had arrived there at one o'clock
of Lord Whitworth leaving Paris, and all
the tali: was Peace. By a boat from Calais, f
learn, no Messengers had arrived, and the four
vessels in sight are all French, consequently no
English Messenger.
PORTSMOUTH, MAY 19.
Sailed his Majesty's ship Expedition, of 44 guns,
Capt. Withers, to the Eastward to be paid off.
His Majesty's ship Pearl, of 32 guns, was this day
commissioned. by Lieut. Raley, who is appointed to
command her as a slop-ship.
His Majesty's ship Padua/it. of 74 guns, Captain
Bowen, has began to rig at Spithead, as a sheer-hull:..
His Majesty's ship La Prevoyante, Wm. Brown
Commander, lately from the Gulph of Venice, is
coming into harbour the first favourable wind that
offers.

Remain at Spithead his Majesty's ships as per
last, Expedition excepted; and at St. Helens his
Majesty's frigate Anph.on.—Wind North and mo-
derate.

Passed by, for London, the St. Vincent:, Johnson,
from St. Viacents.

PLYMOUTH, MAY 12.
Arrived the Atalanta sloop of war, Nemesis and
Jamaica frigates, from a cruize.
Sailed the Ranger cutter on a cruize.
DEAL, MAY 15.
Arriyed the Juno, Hay, from Oporto, and Spr::;ht/y.
Parry, from the South Seas.

The British Cabinet, it is said, in its recent dis-
cussions with the Consular Government, consented,
in the event of war between the two countries, to
consider Spain and Holland as Neutral Powers, pro-
vided France did not make them parties in the con-
test; but BoNAPARTF. is stated to have declared,
that all Europe ought to make it a common cause
with France, and that in justice to Europe he would
not forego any possible means for our annoyance.
On the Bth instant Joseph Barnes, blacksmith, of
Alderwasley, in Derbyshire; took an opportunity,
whilst his brother was preparing to shave him, to
seize one of the razors, with which he cut his own
throat so effedually, as to occasion his death in a
few hours. This poor man had been for some time
in a deranged state of mind, and was to have been
taken the next day to the Asylum at Manchester.
A few days ago, a man in the city of Chester,
for a trifling wager, carried a load of 7001 b. weight.
This will, however, appear no extraordinary act
when compared with the herculean feat performed
by the present Newsman of the Hereford Journal
on the Ross circuit (TURSER). This man, about
thirty-three years ago, when employed at the Castle
Mill, near that city, for a considerable sum, carried
three times round the Townhall, no less than twelve
bushels of wheat (the customary measure of ten
gallons) amounting, with the bags, to the enormous
weight of 9721 b. and upwards. The wheat was
contained in three bags of peculiar construdion,
one on each shoulder, the other thrown across, and
lashed
