• A ruelancolY accident happen'ed between five
and sir.- o'clock yesterday morningi at the hous:, of
Lady Campbell, of Witnpole-Srreet. Her Ladyship
,had given a grand supper and ball, at the conclu:ion.
of which, as Kr. T. Calvert, a young Gedtleman,
in the 23d year, of his age, son of --- Calvert,
'Esq. of North Atidley-street, was , dancing_ a reel
with two young ladies, he broke a blOod vessel, fell
down and instantly expired. It is impossible to de- -
scribe the consternation
sand agony which took
place on this melancholy occasion, and the coMpany
immediately dispersed, in terror and dejealon.
We have been favoured with the following par-
ticulars', taken 7from a letter from an o.ficei of is
Majesty's Sbip Queiec, to his friends in Edinburgh:
" I have lately been on .two short cruizes, in our
large cutter, along' the enemy's toast, in company
with a small vessel captured and armed by the
Cittizer, and commanded by Lieut. P. Our first
attack was on three small vessels in harbour, in the
Island
,of Langeland. The Danes brought dOwn on
us about 300 soldiers, and a number of armed pea-
santry; who kept.up a heavy fire of musketry, from
behind au embankment, for upwards of two hours.
We dislodged them several' times with grape-shot
from opr • twp carronades, ,and though -we had no
means of ascertaining the loss they sustained, it
must have been great, as we could clearly ob-erve a
number fall every time we fired. Our ammunition
being now spent, and seeing the enemy were col-,
leading and coming down on'us in great-numbers, I'
endeavoured' to cut out the vessels with .my boat, ,
and succeeded in taking one of them, but was
obliged to abandon the other two, which were
'aground. I had' only one man wounded, though
my boat.was like a sieve with shot, holes.- A few
days afterwards we were abrea'st 'of BratensbUrgh, in
'the Island of •Samoe, where we observed a number
'of vessel's laying, the-greater part of them :on shore.
We immediately agreed to attack them, and -bring
off such as Were afloat, and burn the rest. I was
': to land with my people; and Lieut. P. to stand Close
in and cover Me. With only 1%5 men,', a midship-
man', and myself, the cowardly Danes 'alloWed us
ito land, though_ they had slt) to 'oite, in 'point of
numbers they deserted the place,- and left me in
quiet posSession more than three hours, during
which time I took three vessels, burnt eleven; and a
timber-yard extensively supplied with valuable spars
, and square timber for building. ATI this time I
.i .
could see 'the enemy collecting in crowds on a height
about a mile distant. Just a's I finished 'my work
they began to advance. I had now.only six men on
shore, and hadSCarcely got info my boat when they
marched down the beach about 700 infantry, 50
cavalry, and t 0 pieees'of artillery, and began to blaze
away upon us, but found, to their disgrace, that
they had now only undertaken what 'they should
1 have done three hours sooner."
