The whol;!of the hamic3 fleet belonging to tl:e
Clyde has arrived, with the exception ot the Ileien,
11,1'KugLAY.

On the 17th instant, the brig John, of 13 tiff-, Cap-
tain 111lcs,.which sailed from Ayr lOr Pit'ion on
the t i 0), returned without her master. The ac-
count the people give is, that he became deran3ed,
and leaped overboard on Sunday.
shew how much the value of lati‘l may be in'
creased upon the banks of the Clyde, hy the culli,a7
tion of fruit, a small property, about four miles be-
low Lanark, was purchased, from 30 to 40 years ago,
under 3001. ; and being now chiefly laid `l7Plt into
orchard grounds, the fruit alone has this year sold
for 5001.

Lady SAHA NAINEV, who was with her aunt, the
sister of the late, and the aunt of the present Duke
of Ric 11 moNn, Lady Lou..isA CoNoLT.Y, expired
here on Wedoesddy. Her remains were removed
in a ht.arse for she Richmond family vault at Chi-
chester, this mernint..,-, for interment.

The %veal her ao-d,iy has haen remarkably hrig`nt,
and had it not be( n tor a delight fell breeze from the
sea, it would have been by for too warm. The
Duke and Duchess of MAR LP.° and all the
fashion of the place,
.have been• seen abroad.
0;3 Tuesday last, as a fishing-boat of this place,
belonging to a pucson of the name of CA %DEN, was
trawling tor soles,. eze. at about five o'clock in the
afternoon, the men were surprised by the very near
approach to them of a Swedish Trading Brig. The
fishermen, apprehensive of being run down, called
out Itlr the crew of the Brig to bear op and avoid
them; in lien of which, however, they wore the
Ves,l, keeping her helm 1:1e, t),. if determi"ed to
do the boat an injury. The poor ti-herrnen hallooed
loudly for mercy, but no at tenion was paid to them
and had nut the ropes that confined their nets ,been
cut away just as the Vessel struck them, they had
all found watery graves. Recovering from their pa-
nic, the sails of the boat were hoisted, when the
fishermen ran alongside the Brig and demanded a
coinpunsation for the wanton injury that had been
done to them. On this demand, a swivel was le-
velled at- t hem, and a threat uttered, that if they did
not keep off, the boat should he fired into and sunk.
So circumstaeced, the poor fellows were c-impelled
to submit to the loss they had sustained, and, with-
out either nets or nib, to make for land, and happy -
even to have eseap-d with their lives. It so hap-
pened, that through the veering of the w ind the
Swedish Brig was still in this part of tie Channel on
the following day, when the Vessel being seen
and recognized by the fishermen in question, they
put off their boat to the Port :melon Gun-brig.
ot anchor otr the town, and stated what had be-
fallen them the day before to the Calitain of her,
who, feeling that they bad been very unjustly treat-
ed, instantly pot about seven of his crew, with an
Officer, armed with blonderbosses and cutlasses,
into the boat, to hoard the Swede, and compel him
to pay the price of the injury he had committed.
The Swede, on perceiving what was intended,
crowded all sail, and stood out to sea, notwithstand-
ing the Port Mahon fired two, shots to bring her
to. The bont, hownver, continued the cltace, occa-
sionally discharging a blunderbuss, but without
effea. The Captain of the Port Mahon, perceiving
that the Swede outsailed the boar, ordered his anchor
to be weighed, and joined in the chace himself, soon
bringing his obje(.-A within the range of his guns, and
which no..v the first shot brought to, and made
a'A alt his approach. The Captain of the Swede was
then ordered on board the Port Mahon ; and whlte,
he not having it in his power to contr,vert what the
ill-used fishermen had previously stated, he was com-
manded to make the compensat,oldesired, to save
himself from being delivered over to the civil polver
on shore, and his vessel from being taken into a
British Port, and retained there. Alarmed tor the
consequences, and trembling at a sense of his own
unworthiness, he conceived it wise to comply with the
proposed terms ; .but as he had ti ot.ning beyond the
sum contained in a Portsmouth Barik-note„
.of
which was the last ;ion he had left, and the demand
of the fishermen was 241. he gave them the value
of their loss in ropes and sails; when, after a severe
reprimand, he was permitted to depart. The hu-
' mane and considerate conduct of the Captain of the
Pcrt Mahan is still here the currept topic of public
aniamdyt.tsion.end applause.

A duel took place at Barbadoes, in June, between
the Hon. Mr. and T. J. S----R, Esq.;
the former attended by Mr. H. W. and the latter by
Mr. M--WELL, in which Mr. M••-•.--1) was wound-
ed, though not dangeiously.

It is a curious circumstance that the identical ten
thou,and men whom General CASTA NOS proposed to
detach to Portugal, to assist in the reduction of it. -
NOT, were the same troops who were sent to co-
operate with him in the overthrow of the Portuguese
Government.

Debts to the amount of 580,0001. have now been
proved against the late firm of Sir Roger Kerri.on,
and Son ;and it is supposed that at least 1.20,0001.
more remain to be proved.
