A Letter by the Howe Frigate, dated Bengal, teth
August, was yesterday received, ,stating, that Mar-
quis CORNWALLIS/011 his passage to the Upper Pro-
vinces, had halted:at Muxadabad, at which place the
Scitor (nativf Bankers of, that place) had volun-
tarily offered h;..s Lordship the lean of 40 lacks of
rupees on the credit of the Government of India;
which he declined to accept, not being in Want of the
proffered supr
The loss of: the Helder Transport on the Coast of
Holland is confirmed. Six -Seamen belonging to
her took to the long-boat after she had struck, and
just as the Dutch were about to take possession of
her. After encountering extraordinary hardships;
they w,ere;.picked up by the Regulus Man of War,
cruizing i,tl the North Seas, and are since arrived in
that vessel at. Sheerness. They report, that all the
Troops v iho were.on board the Helder, as well as the
remaind(!r of the Crew, have been saved.
The 'public exposure of Lord N,ELSON'S coffin in
St. Pei Rs, where, it is said; every body is permitted
to se( ; it who • will pay for admission; is highly dis-
creditable to the parties concerned. Now that the
last tribute of national respe& is paid to the departed
He to, his remains should lie in awful silence, not
be, exhibited to, the gaping crowd, like the Lions at
t!rn Tower Or Exeter 'Change.
The Funeral Car, which cost 7001. becoming the
property of Sir ISAAC HEARD, Knt. Garter King at
Arms, has been benevolently given by that Gentle-.
man to Greenwich Hospital, where it is now placed
in the Painted Hall, and exhibited, not as • the gal-
s lant Chiefs remains continue to be, for the aggran-
dizement of a few mercenary individuals, but tbr the
benefit of the Marine School belonging to that no-
ble institution.

We understand the Gentleman who was carried
out of St. Paul's on Thursday last,, in consequence
of having had an apople&ic fit, was Capt. RICHARD
WHITFORD ; and though medical assistance was im-
mediately obtained, both in the Cathedral as well as
after he had been conveyed home to his apartments
in Great Queen-street, we are sorry to add, that he
died about 12 o'clock the same night. He hadbeen
many years in the Jamaica Trade, was a' man of
amiable manners, and highly esteemed in an exten-
sive circle of respe&able friends and acquaintance.
A curious circumstance lately happened in a fa-
mily on Knaresborough Forest. A man of the name
of Todd, who by great economy had accumulated
60 guißeas in gold, had occasion to go from home
for a short time ;-apprehensive of losing his wealth
if he took it with him, and of his family being pro-
fuse if he left it with them, he concealed it at the
bottom of an old box containing coals. Some time
before his return the contents of the box. were
thrown upon the fire : when he arrived, he thought
he perceived a piece of coin among the ashes, which,
on examination, proved to be one of his beloved
guineas ! Diligent search was made for the re-
mainder ; but the gold had ,melted, and the metal
being incorporated with the fuel, the value of all
that could be recovered did not amount to 201.

At Leeds Parish Church, during the last year,
there were 1290 baptisms,' 512 marriages, and 767
burials.

ari4 to the providing of Arms and Ammunition, be referred

,division.

rrIitIRSDAY,'DEC: 5.—A Committee was appoint-
ed to inquire whether any, and if any, what claims
against the United States are barred by the Statute
of Limitation; which in reason and justice ought to
be provided for by law.

tation of arms and military stores, was reported,
referred, and made the order of the day for Monday

BOSTON, D.C. Z a—Capt: BAuGmAN, Commander
of the French Privateer Creole, which lately captured
the British Ship Esther,offCharlestown,has attempted
to invalidate the account of the taking of that Vessel,
published in the Charlestown Papers, but certainly
without success. A British Ship of War has sailed
in quest of the Creole.; and as the Captain has very
good information where to fall in with her, it may
be presumed that Captain BRUGMAN may soon have
to account for his condu& to the British Commander.

NEW-YORK, DEd. 10.—Capt. LIJCKETT, arrived
at Alexandria' from Cape Francois, says, " that three
days before he sailed, a boat belonging to one of the
British Frigates cruizing off there, came in, and
the Purser informed him that a Brig, of 14 guns,
from Gonaives, supposed to be the. Orion, of Bald-
more, had fallen in with two Ftench Privateers in.
the Caicos Passage, and, after a desperate engage-
ment, had been captured, and every person on board
massacred."
