SATURDAY, APRIL 23, 1808.

The American Ship General Clarkson is arrived at
Plymonth in, 130 days from Cantori, detained by
His Majesty's Ship Hyacinth. She 'brings intelli-
gence that the Albion (Country Ship) caught fire
and Was burnt, with a valuable -cargo of silica', and
upw4rds of two million doliata on board :• Sir E.
PELLEW was before )Batavia when the, General
Clarkson passed the Stieights.

The .13industan, of 54 guns, has just arrived at
Plymouth, from Sir CHARLES COTTON'S Squadron off
Lisbon, with several Passengers, some pergons of dig-
tir4ion who fortunately made their escape fiom that
capital .They mean to proceed to,tbeir lawful Mo-
narch in the Brazils. . The accounts they give of
the deplorable condition of Portugal, under. French
tyranny, more than confirm all the late.nielancl-,oly
recitals from that quarter, Such are French ji.ater-'
oily and prOtiaion !

TiE Staiii-a arrived at Spil head last night, aftei
landing Mr. ROSE and his suiie at
,T::,ynaitigton.

THE extraordinary decision of Sir JAmas MACK-
iNTOSH, hi the Prize-Court of Bombay, or rather
'the extraoreuti'y speech accompanied ;t, did
not, as a Alorning Paper Which, has taken up the
subjed. supposes, stun us into silence, for we were'
disposed to take up the subject, and to o, press our
surprise at such au unprecedented event. We agree
with the Paper alluded to, that it is a very important
matter. It ought not to pass without due discus-
sion; .and We doubt not that It will be attended to at
a propertime, and in a proper plaCe. respeCt
the high talents and great attainments of Sir .NNES
IvlicKiNrosn, and doubt 1).0t that his thotives.ivero
pure upon' the occasion alluded to; but when we find
that a Brit*:Sh Judge says, he considers " the Law of
Nations as paramount to the histruCtions of his Sove-
reign," and absolutely decides in opposition to thotai
instruaions, we may reasonably be alarmed at such
doctrines i and still uore at such coudua. Sir JAMES
might Well say, " he believed he was the first and
isnly Judge who bad ventured to pronounce such a
doEtripe,,7 and though, perhaps, many Judges have
ventured to disobey the instructions ofthe power
from which their, authority emanated, yet we con-
ceive that Sir JAIISs will have reason to say that be
-is the first and only Judge who has ventured to act
upon the. princi_ple which has laid down 'for his
judicial condua.

SUN-OFFICE,
THREE O'CLOCK, P. M.
WE are unable to communicate to our Readers

the details of the Negociatioo between Mr. ROSE

and the American Government, but he has so far

succeeded in his mission, that the affair of the Che.

sapeake is adjusted, and upon that point therefore
there is no reason to (Ape& a War with America.

The American Government have also declared,

that in the piesent state of Europe, they Wink
it necessary to continue the Embargo; but it
is not done with any hostile view to this Coun-
try M particular. EItbKINE, we understand,
remains in America.

We are „glad to hear that galleries are be erceeti
in Whitehall Chapel for three thousand of the
Guards, during their attendance on divine service.
The late Countess-Dowager of.Motat, was a truly
estimable character. She was at all times the liberal
Patroness of distress, and particularly the warm
friend of unproteoed Genius.--4-ier kindness to
DERIODY was uncommonly zealous and:persever-
ing, and if he had availed himself of it properly, he
might have been a living ornament of British Litt-
ra

On Wednesday evening two Brit-i;liton fishermen,
John Hughes and Henry Mltick, 'lately taken by a
French Privateer, and carried into Dieppe, arrived at
their own Port. They lett France on Tuesday even-
ing in a boat, provided for them by an order from the
French Government to the Captain of the Privateer
who captured them. Every expence was ordered to
be paid by filth, and the boat was fitted out.under
the superintendatice of the Commissary ot Marine.
The fishermen were confined in Dieppe Caatle, and
treated remarkably well. The principal inhabitants
raised a sum of money for them, to the amount of
about ten pounds. Their boat was found in every
necessary, provisions, wine, ancl.br.andy, enough to
last thcan had they continued at. sea fur a 'month.
When they were conducted front the Castle to the
Quay, they were not permitted to take any :letters,
and afters.vards a most diligent search was made,
but none found on their persons, though they mau
Waged to secrete some. They had Eoglish colours
given Ahem, which they hoisted prior to their,
leaving the harbour. They saw the bye-boat at
Dieppe, which was lately taken by sonic French
Prisoners at Portsmouth. Two of our men were
cruelly treated : one was stabbed in the face and
back, the other in the breast. They are both in the
hospital at Dieppe Castle, and are likely to do ten.
Five Privateers left Dieppe on Mondaynigl.n. There
are several Prizes there ; one a very valuable \Veit
Indiaman, sent in a few days ago. The fishermen
heard, before their departure, that BUONAPAUTE left
Paris last Sunday se'noiglit for Lisbon.
Dr. Pcossctt, Prebendary of Durham, is appointed
Archdeacon of that Diocese, in the room of the late
Dr. and the Rev. Mr. NICHFORD, Chaplain to
the Bishop of Durham, is appointed to' the Vicarage
of Hurt, in the same County.
TTIAVELLING:—Lord CLARENDON, in his own
life, mentions, that in' the spring Of 1642, when
OtAttLits I.lteld his Court at York, while the Par-
liament was sitting-in London, some gentlemen un-
dertook to convey intelligence to and trom the King,
which was done in the following expeditious man-
ner :—lf a letter was dispatched from London about
twelve o'clock on Saturday night, the King's answer
was always received by ten on Monday morning.
This rate of travelling seems very extrordinary ; for
the whole distance, being about 396 miles, if two
hours be allowed for , reading iltul answerink the
dispatches, the messengers must have gone without
intermission between 1 e and 13 miles. an hour.
Probably the Gentle Men rode their own horses, and
had proper relays ; but in the state of the roads at
that time, such a' continued speed must have been
a prodigious. exertion.
LoNomverv.—A respectable man, aged. Ito, is
seen daily. in the streets of Islington, walking ,with-
out a scick. He at present receives a small pecuniary
aid from the parish, but has long refused to go into
the 'work house, though inindigetit cirentustances.

About a week since, -rit NObleman's Viamekeeper,
in Kent, shot a, hare; which on taking up he found
to be rery.big with young; he therefine opened her
with care, and drew forth two living leveretil,
on being wiped dry, skipped abrint the dead animal',
an-1 actually sucked her as long is watizith would
admit the flow of milk. One of them died soon
afterwards; but the other, we believe, is in a fair
way of being reared.
M.. DOIJUTT RICHARDOTT, of France, ha; long
pr6ctised with success the following method of
curing cattle whose stomachs are swoln from having
fed upOrt wet forage. He adininistered to the ani-
mal- the twentieth part of .a pound of gunpowder,
nibted in a pint of milk, when first seized with the
eholic from eating grass 'or clover highly charged
with dew. This remedy was :zome time since an-
nounced in the French Journais; but M. Iticnstt-
mar has been the first, to "publish the results of its
application.
Yesterday morning a servant in the employ of
McSsrs. Si arkey and .L rlings, Ale-brewers, in Broad-
street,,k.',lrrnaby-marker, tell into a mash-tub of hod-
wort, and was so terribly scalded, that he was
taken to the -Middlesex Hospital without hopes of
recoticry. _

Sett:um—A Gentleman came to Northampton a
few,days ago, front London, put up at an inn in dint
town, and shot himk4f. in consequence of the in-
vestigation before the Coroner's Jury, it was)earned,
that his, father, a few years was asoachmaker
near Park-lane, and had left a fortune, which
be•ttad not spent. As he died, intestate, the laie
inlbt determine to whom the prOperty Nits,

lite chariot Of Mrs...IOLL Y, in Bent nek-,street, was
nycrturned yesterday in Piecadiliy,, by the hinder
heel cowing in contad with that of one of the
Bath coaches : there were, two other Ladiei,,in.ifie
; otrriage with Mrs. Jolly ; fortunately, however, there
-
,4was no setions injury sustained, although one (if
the Ladies received a contuion on the hose, wl4:,:n
caused a copious effusion of blgod, and she fainted.

Some accounts were yesterday received from the
Continent, by which we learn, that at Antwerp and
at Bourdeaux a number of American Vesiels Are
still detained under BUONAPARTE'S Dectee, some
of which are expelled to be condemned. &lONA-
PARTE is stated to have left Paris for *Portugal:—
This account is corroborated by some fiiihermen re-
turned to Brighton from Dieppe, where they had
been detained. They state, that previous to their
departure, they were informed that NAPOLEON had
set_out on Sunday se'night, for Lisbon. The fate
of that unhappy country will therefore very shortly
be decided.

While Admiral DucitWoßm's Squadron were
lying in the Ch*sapeake, they learned that several
hundreds of British seamen, in the American st-r-
-vice, in consequence of the Embargo on all Ameri-
can shipping, had been discharged, and now claimed
protection from our ConsulS, at .vlirious ports in
America, as British SUbjeas.
Dispatches were received yesterday morning at
the Admiralty, from Sir SAktrEt. Hoop, dated Off
Gottenburgh, the t fill inst. We do not understand
that they bring any news of importance. Thc.Squa-
droll were all well at the date of the dispatches.
The Anchefort Squadron should be denominated
in future the Squadron of invisibles.
