loyalty upon the occasion by loud and continued ac-
clamations.
Hastings oug'tt to be mentioned among the places
conspicuous for loyalty on the esth instant. The
warmest demonstration of attachment to our vene-
rable Monarch marked the day. For three days pre-
viously a subscription was raised by the inhabitants,
and mild; comfort, and joy were diffused among
eighteen hundred of persons. Beef, bread, pota-
toes, and porter, were dealt with the

liberal
hand. Among the various deMonstrations of loy-
alty, was a transparency in the Ball Room of " Nep-
tune yielding the Empire of the Seas to Britannia in
the reign of George the Third." The Custom-
House was splendidly decorated, and all people vied
in sheaving their joy on the occasion.

muel Mann, at Cottingham, which is about 300
yards round. la the first hour, he ran nearly eight
miles, and in the second about !seven, but failed of
success, having, at the expiration of the third hoar
about 400 3 ar,la to run of the 21 miles.

On the 21st insmn the Americau vessel .'Minerva,.
from Bosto:.'to Li3bon, ith a cargo cotton, tat, 1
turpentine, naval store., tic. put into allway in an 1
injured wale. Ties ve.set was met on her pa sage,
on the 15th, by the 1.; Milan French privateer, in lat.
51. 40, long, 15. W. by which ship she was fired
on, boarded, and made a prize of. Atter all her
papers, letters, had been examined, her crew, 1
with the excep-ion of two men, viz. the Captain,
• who had been confined by illness to his hammock, I
and the mate, who is an fri,hman, were taken on
board the L' Milan, and a prize-master and nine
men from the layer vessel were put on board the
Minerva, with directions to take her to _the most
convenient French 'port. After having proceeded
some way on their destination, the Captain (who I
had recovered from his indisposition) and the Mate
formed the resolution of tescuing their vessel ; and
with this intention, watching their opportunity,
they, on the 181 h, shut the prize-master up in the
cabin, to which he had accidentally retired, and
having armed therriselves with pistols, came upon
the other nine, while in an unprepared state, whom
they also shut up in the cabin with the prize-master.
Four of the nine • happened to be Portuguese sailors,
who then consented to, unite with • the Americans,
and help to work the Vessel, which they )esierday
brought in here. The six Frenchmen are confined
in-Galway, prisoners of %var.
