LOSS OF HIS AIAJESTY's SHIP FLORA.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM AN OFFICER.

" Licwwirden, in Friesland, jan. 26, Act
" I am sorry to inform you that the Flora struck
'upon Schelling Reef last Monday, the 18th, and
about 9 o'clock that night, succeeded •in,getting her
all, but lost our rudder in . the attempt, and after
getting her to seri, we could hardly keep her free
with all the pumps, therefore was obliged the next
day to run her on share again about four o'clock?
that afternoon ; after making rafts,. fearing that if
it came on to blow that night she would go to pieces,.
the- Captain, Ferber, Keith,. Doneville, Watson,
and myself, pushed off in the barge, that being the
only boat we then had, with about 130 of the crew
on the faits, the rest choosing to stay by the ship,
when alter rowing 18 hours, we did not know
where, not being able to see the land, without sus-
tenance, we landed on t he•l,land of Amoland, where
they made us prisoners and marched us here. After
'being four days and nights on board, the rest came
• on shore on some more rafts, and I believe all are
saved. 1 have lost every thing, as when I. the
ship though my bag was in my band, I would not
put it into the boat, as the Captain would not his,
nor indeed was it a time to think' about any thing
but one's life. Those whom we left on the wreck
are at -Harlingen."

130Nottar.—This Artist, who was particularly dia.
tingutshed for his architeaural knowledge and genius,
died on Wednesday last in the 69th yeat of his age.
He was a native of Italy, but bad long been in this
kingdom. He was warmly patronized .by Sir
Josn&A RaltsoLns, whose interest placed him upon
tLe list at' Associates, but who in vain attempted to
raise him to the rank of Royal Academician. The
great talents and professional learning of BoNoMI
certainly gave him full pretensions to such a situa-"
tiao, if the Institution had not been essentially in-
tended for t be.protea ion of British Genius. The disr
priteS which aro3e in the Acaderny,.on this occasion,
induced Sir Joinua, REYNOLDS.IO resign his situation
as President, and though he at length consented to
resume an ()Rice for which he! was so eminently
qualified, harmony Was never 'Completely restored
between him and the Members in general. In this
instance Sir JOSHUA permitted his zeal for grbat
talents to overlook ,the principles upon which. `thcs'
Academy. was. founded, and it 'is to be hoped that
those principles will be adhered to in all future ye-
cancies, and that none but , the natives of this
Country will be admitted as Members. Happily
we can at this moment boast of such an assemblage
of British talent's, as enables us, in !national taste
and genius, as well as in national prowess and force,
tourlia
prouddefiance at our eneruibs.

In consequence of requisition to the Mayor of

Hall. After reading the requisition, the. Mayor atlf
dressed the meeting; and strongly recommcmdeo
unanimity in the cause in which we are engaged.
He was soon 'interrupted by some turbulent spirit',
with a cry or Peace," and `for an adjournment to

manner what he properly denominated the frivoloui
and .vexatious measures which Opposition are taking
to counteract the views of his Majesty's Ministers,
and bring disgrace upon our Government. He, re.
curred to the hostile feelings and. mischievous views
of the enemy, who obviously resolved, if poisible,

, Amidst the turbulence arid contiution that arose,
the Mayor declared that he eOuld .hardly oecide
whether the Majority was in tavuu of the origi-
nal Address, or of the AMericiment, but said ltu

as they may be called,lluen adjourned to the squawk
where Mr. ROSCOE harangued them from a window
of the Exchange, and the amemted Atldrcss was of
course agreed to. But the original Address may he
considered as expressive of the sentiments of the
more intelligent and respelable inhabitaats, and
that has not yet been given to the public.

and Defendant. The Plaintiff, an honest farmer,

their time at nest . in. chat and-play,' -for so the
doggerel verses described them as passing their'titne,
In 14-t the Plaintiff, Sherwood, had' been drinking

until his wife, alarmed at his absence,. acid having
sent every servant to discover where her husband
could be found,. at last, at five o'eleek in the morn-;

'wbielf a wife must be supposed to feel tor the lute-
rest of her husband, but because She Wanted her own
libidinous pcOsions gratified. •
It was proved that the Plitintiff married his wife in.

the hallowing fa6s : that the Plaintiff, Sherwood, was
in the habit of going to the Baron's house, and one
Sunday in Qetober, hd tilt with him drinking aod
playing cards all the:Sunday, and all the night until
have o'clock in the morning„ when biS wile came
and fetched him home. The next day the Baron
sent him a bottle of wine to refresh his spirits as he
said, mid afterwards' a plaister to • cure the bruises.
. which he Said his wife Might have given him, and
an ornamented horse-whin to coiled his wife, He

open to objeajoui the difficulty of landing the
heavy artillery ; the want of proper positions to
erect. -batteries ; the nature of the plece„ and the
coestru{:lion of. the buildings (all who had. given
videiice concerting in opinion that it would' have
beep difficult, if not impossible, to burn the town),
and, if that event had taken, place,' the increas-
ed rancour ,of the inhabitants from the loss of
lives and !property. 3. To the last mode of
attack there appeared no objeaion but the possibi-
lity.of its failure. If it succeeded, the troops might
