Admiral Co R NW ALL IS dashed into the Outer-road
of Brest yesterday se'nnight with his own ship,
the Ville de-Paris, unsupported by any other vessel ;
and notwithstanding a warm discharge of shot and
shells from the Batteries, forced two French Line-
of-Battle Ships to cut their cables, and take shelter
under the Forts.

Such of the Out-Pensioners of Greenwich Hospi-
tal as are fit for service, will be immediately em,
ployed on board the Floating Batteries and.C4n-
boav; that are to be stationed for the defence of the
Coast.

It appears that La Chevrette and her consort,
which escaped into the Inner Harbour of Brest, were
designed by the French Government t 6 accomplish
two important purposes—to reinforce the Garrison
of Senegal with 400 troops, and supply the Colony
of Guadaloupe with naval stores.

River from Virginia, on the 26th June in lat. 39. to.

and sunk to the surface of the water ; all her masts
gone.—Could not learn her name.

DEATH OF S;R GREY COOPER, Bart. rOn
Thursday morning died at Wallington Park, the
Right Hon. Sir GREY COOPER, Bart. His death
was very sudden. About half after five o'clock in
the-morning, Sir GREY rang violently at the bell
for his valet, whom he desired to saddle a horse,
and ride over to the village, about a mile distant,
for the Donor. The man sat off immediately, and
returned with the Apothecary in less than half an
hour; but they arrived too late, Sir GREY had
breathed his last.—Lady Coopra sent off a dis-
patch immediately to town to acquaint Colonel
COOPER, of the Guards (second son of the de-
ceased), with the melancholy event : when the
messenger reached town, at the Stone's-end, he
met the Colonel going down to Wallington in a gig,
to pass a few days with his father.—Another mes-
senger was sent to die Rev. Mr. COOPER, in
Wales, Sir GREY'S eldest son, who becomes pos-
, iessed of the family estate, about 90001. per ann.—
Sir GREY COOPER wasnear 75 years of age.
We recommend to our own Opposition Papers,
when they are declaiming against the attacks which
they assert to have been made on the Liberty of
the Subjea, the perusal of the following observa-
tions of a French Journalist. They are extra4ed
from the Gazette de France of the 27th inst.
" Let us see," says the French Writer, " what
is passing in England.—A long war has so much
strengthened the Executive Power, that it seems as
if the English were ready to lose those privileges
upon which their Liberties depend. But they feel
that their compliance is founded upon necessity,
and they are encouraged by seeing the Tribunals
exerting themselves more than ever in repressing
every violation of morality ; that Ministers oppose
the circulations which are offensive to decency and
the King himself, eager to sanlion the law for pre-
venting the sale of spirituous liquors on the Lord's
Day. Who can doubt the Liberty of a People
among whom all those who are in power concur in
checking the corruption of public manners I It re-
quires no great judgment to foresee that, at a Peace,
the Executive Government will . return to the just
limits of its power, and that the English will them..
selves boast of the Concessions which they made for
the purpose of maintaining the public security. In
France, hitherto Liberty and the public morality
have been separated, either because it is more easy
to advance great maxims than to follow them, or
because in great commotions it is impossible to give
that importance to certain objels which they de-
serve. But now that we enjoy a regular Govern-
ment, it is impossible that public morality should
be given up much longer to the speculations and
intemperance of Authors. Those who understand
nothing but Revoltation, and who are always crying
out "Liberty!" will at last go to such lengths that
we shall see the re-establishment of a Censor."

One of the French Papers mentions a custom of
the EMPEROR of CHINA, to withdraw himself at
the approach of an Eclipse of the Sun, and to in.
vestipte his own condul. If this be intended as
a hint to the Chief Consul, as the head of another
arbitrary Government, we sincerely wish he would
adopt it, as the Sun twice more in this year will
throw out a signal for such. a Committee of Inquiry
into the state of the Great Nation.

On Monday a very remarkable funeral occurred
in the burying ground of St. Ann's Church, Soho.
A band of music preceded the corpse, consisting of
Panonian reels, a dulcimer, a hurdy gurdy, two box
organs, and a quartetto of Jews-harps; the body
was laid in a black coffin with white nails, entirely
uncovered, lkcouse (as it was said) it had come into
the world without a cloak, and ought n ,t to go out
in a cloud. The mourners too, to the number of.
two hundred, were equally eccentric in their appear-
ance, being totally destitute Of, sable coverings.
When they reached the church-yard gate, the Mi.
raster had ordered it to be shut, refusing to admit
the harm,,nious part of the procession. The corpse
was then interred in the usual way, and the proces_
sion returned in the same order.

On Saturday night last a robbery was commited
in the house of Sir PHILIP STEPHENS, at Fulham.
The thieves carried off near ten none.of meat and a
large ash of prawns,

WE stop the Press to state, that Capt. FERRIS,
late of the Hannibal, arrived this morning at the
Admiralty, and brings an account of the Anion in
Algesiras Bay. He confirms the account of the
Capture of the Hannibal; but it appears that the
French Squadron was driven_on shore, where the/
remained almost wrecks. Our loss upon this occa-
sion, is, we understand, between Three and Four
Hundred men in killed and wounded.
