.NUT WANT RD:—TO prevent, needless: applica-
tions., it is necessary to inform the folloiers
certain Party, 'whose charaaer is " better under-
stood than described," that the, Pat:ty.iS sufficiently
supplied with writers, who aye skil.,;! in.the -inge-
nious art of confounding right and wrong, anaof:
making " the worse appear the better reasen."- They -
will, however, be glad to receive any hints likely'
to itnpress,,upon credulous people:erroneous- notions
of the conduit of Ministry, even on matters in which
Ministry have no immediate concern, or in which
they adopted every precaution that human foresight
could suggest. -Any article in the form of Private'
Letters from Abroad, tending to throw disgrace upon
Sir ARTHUR \VELLESLEY, will be well received,
and worked up into such a shape as shall excite
amazement in the original inventors, at the power
of la6tious exaggeration.
_ _ _

A few reasons to Prove that .It7NoT-aiqually de-
feated' the British armies, on the 17th, and 2tst of.;
August, "will be gratefully accepted ; and also other
reasons to shew, that in case the French General had
held out, there was no chance of adverse winds,
,but
that our Vessels would have remained...in per-
feat security in the Tagusi-gand that our Troops
were in no danger of starvation.. If any ano-
nymous friend will also provide a few more Fo-
• reign Letters, signifying that the Portuguese were
so desirous of retaining the French in their Coun-
try, that they ,Would not willingly have parted
with all the property seized by The latter, but were
anxious to detain at Lisbon such enlightened and
liberal Protealors. Assertions of the. must positive
kiwi,. and _stories of the
.most improbable nature,
will not be rejected ; but all Correspondents are-
earnestly desired' to conne6l every event abroad with
hints of mismanagement at home:
No reward can be otred,but it is conceived that
the hope of doing mischief, and possibility of degrad-
ing Ministry, and thereby of quieting, for a time,
the Creditors of Opposition, will afford sufficient
recompense to true faaious spirits, and from such
only will
.communications of the nature here speci-
fied be accepted and carried into effeal.

Guri 4LL, SEFT. 24;—A. complaint, in• it-e. f
but of; importance, as connected with the,
health of the city of London, came on to be he trd.:
A-respedable inhabitant of 14-lane complain:A
of thiee country cutting butchers, fur a no s Inc
by having, with. a number of others, blocked ud the
street ...with their-carts, frem six o'clock to. nitu,,,
-e'ver'y" market_ morning, when comiig to Newgate
Market to purchase their meat, and drawing up those
carts so close to the doors and windoNs of the inlia-r•
bitauts, as not only to, prevent the 'access of their
customers, but even to hinder them from opening'
their shops. He said, .that the whole neighbOur-
hood, on whose part he appealed, Irld been ter years
sufferers by this species of nuisance ; and that when-
ever they ventured to remonstrate, as they fre-
quently have done, with the defaulters in this.way;
they only received insolentdanguage and threats. He
complained, however, ofno insolence in the present,
cas, but said, that he complied with the injuuftioa
of Alderman Birch, on a termer-complaint, in apply-
ing to the street-keeper, and having, those three
carts taken to the greeu-yard, and the parties w ere
now brought forward to answer.
-One of therm, a master butcher, of Woolwich,..
and a most re'.peaable man, stated, that he should
be extremely sorry to give any Offence,- or create any.
inconvenience to the City of London; that he would
keep 110 servant in his employment who would
offer insult or incivility to any body, but that he was
obliged, in the way "of his business and livelihood,
to resort to'the‘public market of Newgate-street, to
purchase meat, like a nurnber of other trading
butchers; that he knew not how to get there but
by some of the avenues that led to it, and that he.
fonnd that in each of them the inhabitants com.'
plained of annoyance, which he knew not how to
remove. If the carts found in this situation were to.
be instantly sent to
.the green-yard, the customers of
the owners would be disapuinted,of supply, and
the owners themselves be ruined in their busineSS;
he would be glad if it were possible to avoid any
such •cause of compli,tint, but he feared it was im-
possible in the narrow passages which approached,
the market. •

• The MAG;STRATE said, the nuisance could not be_
borne, and advised the complainant, who did not
with
.to press any penalty in the present case, to ap-
ply to the inspecting Jury,-and let them, upon their
own view of the nuisance, indict all 'defaulters. And'
as to the trading butchers, as they were a wealthy set
of men, they ought to purchase some piece of ground
in the neighbourhood, where then. carts -might
main witb.ot annoying the public.
Now, on the .score of nuisance,
,the complainant
might have added, for his neighbours, and for. thou-
sands 13esides, that' Ivy-lane and- Warwick-lane;, as.
Weil as .Newgate-market, present ,a much more
alarMing, because an absolutely pestilent, nnisance,
to the city and. to the public,. every day ;a the year,,.
from which it is Only wonderfid that an annual
.pl4ghe has not arisen. ' One half of-Warwick-lane,
on' both sides, is a chain of slaughter4iouses
,Newgate-market,; frOm which streams of blood con-
tinually flow, which, in hot weather, exhale the
most dangerous effluvia. The minor nuisance of a
higgler's cart may be remedied by removal to the-
green-yard, but it is only surprising that the greate'r
and more intolerabls evil has, not loug since removed
all the inhabitants to the church-yard ; unless, in-
deed, it be the opinion of.the College of Physicians,
'who deliberate at one end of the lane, that'the in-
habitants of the vicinage have been so long used to
breathe in stench and- pestilence, that a purer air
would be dangerous to their .lives.
--Mary Veal, who had been detained for offering in
pledge. to Mr. Parker, pawnbroker, a silver spoon,
the property of Mr. Car6.vrigin, surgeon, Palsgrave-
place, which she admitted she-had received from W.
Veal, Mr. C.'s servant, was brought up for re-ex-
amination. At the first examination, it appeared that
the principal in the theft had absconded, and the ut-
most vigilance of the officers had not yet been able
to trace him. 'The absence of the principal, there-
fore, in the event of the prisoner's being regarded
only as the receiver ; or her being' the wife' of W.
Veal, as she stated herself to he, in which case she
must be presumed to have, aded tinder the influence
of her husband, not warranting the committal of the
prisoner for trial, she was discharged, . after having
strenuously denied all knowledge of some, other prO-
perty,which had,been carried off.

BOW-STREET.—A Mr. S , formerly in the
army, was on Sathrday last examined before Mr.
GRAHAM, on a charge of bigamy, in marrying a
second wife, his former one being living at the time.
The first marriage, it appeared took place upwards
of 20 years ago, at Furneux Pelham, in the county
of Hefts; but, alter some few years, a separation
took place, Since which time the parties never co-
habited together. • In
.the. year 1799, Mr. S. con.:
tra6ted a second marriage with Miss A. T. of Kew.
The fad of both' ri:arriages being established, and
Mr. S.'s person being ideptified, he was fully com-
mitted to take his trial at , the next Sessions tbr the
county of Surrey, the last marriage having been
solemnized in that county ; and Mr. S. being also
apprehended there.

PrlAnmun, the new Grand Signor, is half-brother
' to the late Sovereign MUSTAPAA—he was born on
the 20th of July, 1785.
Yesterchiy the remains of. Syers, fireman to the
Phoinix Fire-Office, who lost his life at the dreadful
fire in Covent-Garden, were carried in funeral pro-
cession to Queenbithe; for interment, followed by all
the servants of the above Office. The crowd of
spedtators was immense.
The Society for the improvement of the Che-
viot breed of sheep, at their late meeting at Samie-
stop, reported, that this breed had both in fleece
and, carcase, since it became an obje& of such atten-
tion; nearly doubled in value. The quantity of coarse
wool, in, the fleece had considerably diminished, and
• that of the fine proportionably increased. As to the.
carcase, the improvement was equally conspicuous.
The Society, on the whole, earnestly recommend
this valuable breed in those districts where the ob.
jed is to cultivate short Wool,
