SliPwatcgs.---The Concord, Captain Buse, and the
Ft iends' Goodwill, Captain _Bryant, both of Swansea, were
lost on Friday se'nuigh!, in a gale of wind on the north
coast of Cornwall ; and it is feared all on board perished. ex-
cept one man and a boy who belonged to the latter. The
body of Captain Bryant was thrown on shore near Padstow
same day.—The Britannia, of Cardigan. Owen master, front
Liverpool to Padstow, with salt and cheese, was lost same
day near Padstow; crew saved.—Same day. the brig Nep-
tune, of Fisleoend. Griffiths master, was driven on shore,
ne;ir Gedreavy, in St. IvCs Bar. The crew were fortunately
saved, but the cargo, consisting of coals, will be almost
entirely last. It is scarcely ciedible, though unfortunately
too true, that some of the ruffians who assembled under pre-
tence of protecting the properly. actually robbed the Cap-
tain of his watch, and plundered the unfortunate seamen of
the clethes they endeavoured to save at the risk of their lives.
One of the crew who got on shore almost naked, saw a num-
ber of misc:eants employed in carrying. off some rope, and
remonstrated with them on the atrocity of their conduct ;
when he was told, that unless he immediately departed, and
refrained from molesting them in securing their lawful spoil,
they would strangle him !

In the Vienna theatre, at the Opera of Palmyra, in the'
scene where one of the characters .states, that if the Three
Sovereigns remained united, „the monster would be annihi-
lated, the whole audience rose and applauded for nearly half
an hour. The King of Prussia was present.
When Murat, the other day, addressed a Proclamation to
the Italians; he called on them to throw off' a
.foreign yoke,
and take him as their leadar. Now it so happens, that of alt
the actual Sovereigns in Italy, Murat is the only one who is
not an Italian by birth. The King of Lombardy and Venice
(Emperor of Austria) was born at Florence : so was his bro-
ther the Grand Duke of Tuscany. The King of Sardinia was
horn at Turin, and the Pope was born at Cesenna; while his
Majesty, the sot-disant King of Naples, first-drew his breath
in a little pot-house, near Cahors, in France.
A letter, dated from Calais, last Monday. says, that all the
Bens d'armes had been marched from that town in consequence
of a sudden order from Paris. At that town, as well as at
Boulogne and other places along the coast, the young men
alio had been drawn as conscripts have refused to march.

to relations, and the residue, in case of no issue mate, to Mrs,
Jane Townley and Ann Underwood. her executrix. There
is a clause, directing restitution of the various presents, made
in expectation of the birth of a male child, in case of no
such event, to the respective Devotees; and reference is
made to a book, containing a catalogue of their names and
offerinas, which it has been nacessary to record with the

tamentary papers. Every possible want and accommodation
seems to have been anticipated with scrupulous attention.
