Dr. BROWN, who attended his Prussian Majesty

during the battle of the 14th. He says,. that the

nearly as ertensive on both sides; also that there is
uo doubt treachery was the chief cause of the.Prus-

sians -being defeated.
New'York Papers. to the 14th ult. have arrived;
they contain nothing of importance. The French
ships continued in the Chesapeak, and several Bri_
tish ships of war were cruizing off the Capes, to in-
tercept them in case they should venture to make a
start. MIRANDA was at Aruba-at the end of Septem-

her, preparing, it was said,.to repeat his attack upon
the Carracas. Hii limner failure leaves him but very
I ope of:ultimate success.
A Boston Paper of the 26th of September men...
tions that dispatches had just been received frout
Madrid, which were of Vic, important a nature that
they .would not he made public. It is confidently
reported that another largeosum of money had been.
insisted on by Spain, at the instance of the French.
Government.

Letters were received from HaHat on Saturday,
which tneation the arrival of the Terrible, of 74
guns, at that Port, with the loss of all her masts
she was towed in by the Decade Frigate.
A material change appears to have been efialed in

the sentiments of the American Government towards►
this Country; and the Papers under its influence are,
now as energetic in our favour as lately they were
clamorous against us.

The Dutch Royal Gazette contains an article,
which states, " that the defeat of the Prussian army,
on the 14th, was owing to the Duke of BRUNSWICK,
not taking possession (which there was time to do)
of the deiiies-of Koesen. Marshal DAVOUST took
posseSsion of them at the break of clay ; and eleven
successive attacks were vainly made to diJodge
him."

Mr. Hahticocx., one of the domestics of---- AR•
111.7THNOT, Esq. our Minister at Constantinople, who
arrived some months ago with dispatches, was on
Saturday evening sent back with instructions from
Government.

from Calcutta, via Salem, dated the 14th of May ;
at that time piece-goods were scarce and rising in
value; and sugars were very dear, and ditlicm4t to In
obtained.

In consequence of a Meeting appointed by the
High SheFiff of the County of Carmarthen, to be
held at the County Hall, at Llandilo, on TuesdaY
.the 4th day of November inst. to consider of a fit
and. proper person to represent the County in the
ensuing ParliaMent, Sir WM. PAxToN was propos.
ed by Joint GEORGE PHILLIPS, Esq. seconded-bt
JOHN WILLIAMS Hoorms, Esq. and approved' of
without 'the smallest opposition ; indeed it is but
justice to this Gentleman to state, in proof of the
very flattering support shewn him at this Meeting,
that a more resp&gtable appearance of Gentlemen on
the score of independence, in point of fortune as
well as sentiments, than came forward on his be-
half, never was before witnessed in the County—
affording at once a proof of their cordial attach.*
ment to the worthy Cindidate, and a most decided
contradiction to the impotent attempt used to im-
press the County with an idea of his being a stran-
ger, although it is well known that he has, in the
course of the last twenty years, filled a variety of
Offices in the County with the strictest honour and
integrity ; and that during this period his purse has
been constantly open to the calls of utility and hu-
manity .—Camtrzan,,
Notwithstanding Mr. Ment.tstes present supe-
riority on the poll for the county of Middlesex, his
friends will do well to be on theinguard against an
opinion which too generally pievails, and which
great pains_are taken to circulate thtough the coun-
ty,. That his eleEtion is secure; nothing, indeed, can.
fend so much to prevent its being so as the preva-
lence of such an opinion. Those who are most
versed in the art and mystery of eletioneering, well
know, that no elthion can be secure until it is po-
sitively gained. But in such a county as Middle-
r sex, a much larger Majority that; that which is,
now in favour of Mr. MELLISH would be very far
from placing, that Gentleman in a state' of\ safe-
. ty. Every friend of Mr. MELLISH should, -there-
fore, consider( the advantage he has already gained
merely as an incitement to further exertion ; re-
colleCting, that confidence is a rock on which
numberless vessels have split even in the sight of
port.
The Opera House will open the first week in De..
_cember. CATALINI will appear the first night.
AN EXTRAORDINARY TRANCE.—The wife of a
labourer, at Lime-house, about ten days since, felt
herself indisposed, and retired to bed. On the morn-
ing following, her husband attempted to wake her,
but in vain : she was insensible, and with scarcely
any signs of respiration. Great numbers of people
flocked about her, and remained constantly in her
room. She was to all appearance dead, excepting
that she retained her usual_ colour. On Friday last
she woke—she was• unconscioUs of the of
her trance, and Aid not feel any sensations..different
from the refreshment of her accustomed sleep. ...Ai-
ter. speaking to the people about her for sonic' tinle,
she was proceeding to dress 'herself, whet) she re-
f lapsed, acid now remains in a state of insensibilitY•
