which an artilleryman was placed centinel, from
whom the mutineers demanded entrance into the
magazine, which he.boldly- refused at the expence
of his life, as they instantly put him to death.

" The numbers of the mutineers in the fort,, in
consequence cf continual desertions, was reduced to

a very few, and on Friday the lojth instant ar six
o'cloCk in the afternoon, fired two bombs on this
city, which happily did no injury. It was resolved

to-storm the place at day break the next morning;
and take them by surprise, ere they could have time
to put in execution their threatened pUrpose of blow-
ing up the powder magazine.
" The walls were scaled, but a dog .giving.the
alarm, fruStra-toctthe plan. Six of the eight remain-
ing, retired to the magazine ; the other two were
cut Of from the magazine: They, howeVer,- fired
two bombs towards the city, which providentially
did no injury.
" On 'Sunday evening, at ten o'clock, the six re,
solved to blow up the magazine, in order to make
their escape, which they effected.
" In the magazine were from 4 to 500 barrels of
gunpowder, which made a most tremenduous explo-
sion ; fortunately, the plan was suspe6ted, and only
a small number of troops were therefore placed in
the fort to watch their motions and prevent their
escape, and to surprise them if an opportunity of-
fered : happily, therefore, only three soldiers became
their vi&ims and two or three wounded.

" The shock of the explosion did infinite damage
to the windows; one of the shells burst in passing
over my house.
" The mutineers fled into the interior of tie
island, and are since taken. The last of them (a

BI:ick) was taken this morning, disguised in wo-
man's clothes, on whom tell the lot to blow up the

! magazine.
" On Monday last a Court-Marshal was held at
the Town-house, on twenty-five of the mutineers;
supposed to be ringleaders, one of whom at the gal,
lows Was respited, the' others executed; ten hanged)-
; and fourteen shot."

Mr. ARBUTHNOT, our late Minister at Constanti-
nople, is arrived in town. His state of health has
been for. some time very precarious. The
.voyage
home, however, has Considerably recruited him.
Yesterday being [ldly Thursday, pUrsuant to an-
nu::l custom, the children of all the parochial charity
schools in the Metropolis and its suburbs, attended
divine service at St. Paul's Cathedral. SO many
thousand children of both sexes, the offspring of poor
parents, unable to afford them maintenance or edu-
cation, decently clothed, comfortably maintained, and
religiously i nst ruaed, presented an object won by Of
the national character, and interesting to every friend
Of civilized society. The Lord Mayor and,Sheriffs, at-
tended by the City Officers, were present on the oc-
casion, as well as a number of the Dignitaries of the
Church, with several" of the Nobility, Gentry, and
respectable Citizens.
Out of the reasons, no doubt, which induce the
Opposition Writers to be so hostile to Mr. I.AP
CELLES, is the-attachment which .than Gentleman
had to Mr. PITT, his veneration for the memory of
that in ns:nous Statesman, and meritorious solipitede
to procure some signal mark of national honour and
exatitUde for so great an ornament to this Country.
tachconducil, on the part of Mr. LASCELLES, is a
sufficient groun3 for the resentment of those Writers
who adunre and support men who treated Mr.
PITT's m-runry with anindifference only disgrace-
ful to themselves. . •

rejoice, for heaas well in his domestic charaeler, as
Well as on the Stage.
COoKg left town this morning for the laudable.
purposeof performing for the benefit of the Theatri-
cal Fund established at Bath. It is to be regretted,
that the two institutions of the same kind, in the
London Theatres, are not supported with more
vigour. If the chief performers were even to make
it a point to come forward annually with their best
efforts, the funds in question need not depend.
merely on. private contribution, but would enjoy
ample and permanent means of providing for age
