NAVAL NEWS.

PLYMOUTH, MARCH 14.—Arrived the sloop Ho-
ratio, belonging to and from Guernsey, TOZER-,
Master, with a cargo of paving-stories, for his Ma
• .
jesty's dock-yard at this port. Yesterday afternoon
when about five leagues off the Bolt she discovered
a French cutter privateer (late' the Cheste,field
Guernsey packet, that was captured and carried into
Morlaix, some time since, at which port she has
been fitted out under the command of the famous
Captain BLACK, who, when in a former vessel,
greatly annoyed our trade), with an English brig,
very deeply laden, her prizl, in tow, standing to the
Southward, in the track of the Horatio, which was
then steering to the Northward, and soon came
within hail of the privateer, the Captain of which
asked Captain TOZER from whence he came, and
where bound, and, on being answered, ordered the
Horatio to back and follow. him, but being some
time in so doing, and finding the privateer by that
time at some distance a-head, Captain TOZER, set
his square-sail, and effeeted his escape. At this time
a brig of war was discovered to the Northward, in
chase, which proved to be the Lord Cochrane hired
armed brig, when the privateer cut the tow-rope of
the brig, and stood to the Southward under a press
of sail, leaving the brig to her fate. When the
Horatio lost sight of the Lord Cochrane,. the latter
was within shot of the brig, firing at her, and there'
is no doubt but she was recaptured. This priva-
teer has done a deal of mischief in the Channel
during this month, and is by no means a superior
sailer. •

TORBAY, MARCH 13.—The brig Ceres was board-
ed yesterday by a French cutter privateer, 4 leagues
B.S. E. of the Start : the Ceres being in ballast was

of other vessels ; one of ,them has ben) since re-
taken by the Lord Cochrane armed brig, and sent
into airtiuouth.

DARTMOUTH, Miami! 13.—Arrived a Spanish
brig laden with nuts; retaken by the Lord Cochrane

Captain PETERSON his son, and the Chief Mite
of the North Star American ship, which was t:ken_
by a French privateer (afterwards recaptured by the
Sandwich) are arrived at Ports:tile . trot') Dieppe.
They do not bring any news- from thence. The
treatment they received from the First Lieutenant of
the privateer was brutal in the ext►eme. An Eng-
lish brig, from London bound to Lisbon,,hild been
taken into Dieppe by a privateer; the Captain was
killed in the skirmish.
An alteration, it apitears, is about to take place in
the uniforms of the Officers of the Navy. The
Adinirals are to have white lappets to their coats,
bound round with broad gold lace, and the buttons
10 be nearly similar to those worn by Field Mar-
shals. The dress in which the Duke of CLARENCE

appeared at the recent Levee of the PRINCE REGENT
was of this description, and was decorated with a
profusion of gold, lace. It is supposed the altera-
tion will take place on the 4th of June. The pre-
sent dress was ordered seventeen years ago.
The list of Officers of the Navy, corrected to
the ISt of January last, and just published, enu-
merates 187 Admirals, Vice-Admirals, and Rear-
Admirals; 31 superannuated Rear-Admirals; 31 re-
tired Captains ; 777 Post-Captains ; 586 Comonan-
Eters ; 50 retired Lieutenants; and 3157 Lieu-
tenants; of which number ht 9 are unable to serve
at sea.
The Phipps, Captain WELLS, on Wednesday
night last, captured the French privateer Le Cerf,
of five guns, eight swiveli, and thirty-one men,
which came out of Calais that morning, and brought

her into Portsmouth on Friday night the privateer

first made towards, a brig, which was leading the
Phipps's convoy with a light, near the South Fore-

- •
land ; but, on nearing the Phipps, she seemed in-
_ .

dined (mistaking her for a tberchant vessel) to board
'her. The Phipps instantly laid her alongside, and
alter a shoit opposition, obtained po,stssion of her.
The Phipps had three nien wounded ; the privateer
two dangerously wounded.
The following ships, which. will compose part of

the next fleet For India are arrived at the Mother-
bank :—Wextbrd, Glutton, Marquis of Hardly, El-

The houses of several Gentlemen PC s:ding at
Norwood • have lately been attempted by a gang
desperate villains who infest that neighbourhood ;
the !reuse of Mr. Rose, near the limns, in particu-
lar, has been attempted two or three times, and for
several nights the servant lad and a man sat up to
watch the villains, but they were too cautious to
come on those nights. On Wednesday the precau •
tion was discontirrued, and the lad wem to bed ;
about three o'clock, however, he was disturbed by a
noise resembling the mewing of a cat, grid by the
dog barking, and on listening attentively he then ht
he heard footsteps ascending the steps leading to the
back door of the house ; he was provided with. tire.-
arms, and opening his window he perceived a tall
'man, with a white coloured coat on, standing at the
bottom of the steps ; he instantly discharged the
pistol, loaded with seven small sings, at him vibe
fellow cried out " 0 Lord !" staggered a few paces,
and fell against the gate: two other men imine
diately ran, down the steps, raised him up, and sup-
ported him across the yard through a gate into. the
adjoining premises. The dad by-this iil.l3C had me-
loaded his pistol with ball, Biid fired it in the direc-
tion they were going, and they in their retreat
snapped a pistol at him, but it providentially missed
fire. Mr. Rose got up, but thtre being no other
men in the house except himself and the servant, he
did not think it idudent to pursue the villains.—
There was a considerable•quatitity of bklocl- at the
foot of the steps, which was. trace, along the
ground nf the next premises, on the fence, and into
the main road leading towards Streatham. It is
supposed the fellow who was wounded has some
of the slugs remaining in hirn, which uay lead to
his deteation, •

lIRLIGOLANo, MARCH 12.—8 y a cutter which
arrit ed from Tonningen on the loth inst. as well as
other sources, we are again assured a hat a dt clara-
lion of war by the Ruhsians, in conjunaion wit
the Prusians and Swedes, against France, is every
day expected.

Pfussia alone is said to have an army of 150,600
met) in high discipline and ready for the field, and
these, with the troops which the other powers •
%yd.:
be able to bring into the contest, hold out a good
prosped'of success. The French Officers at 171,01-
burgh publicly declare that they are of opinion, if
the allied forces are not overpowered at ilia com-
mencement by the rapidity of the movements of the
Fie„ch troops, this will be one of the hardest strug-
gles they have had to encounter.

A division of 10,000. French troops march through
Bremen, to reinforce the army on the Polish fron-
tiers, most of them raw young tn. n, an ) some of
them stripli9gs of not more than sixteen years of

age.

Ibe Prince of ECHMUHL, with most of tbe gar-
iison, left Harnburgh some time ~ago, and it is
stated that this city is to be gal risoned by the Danes
till the French are again, able to spate a sufficient
number of am for the purvse, the latter being
"e that it would be highly unsafe for them
to'eltlit ar;re' t the Police and Go'vernment of thi‘ tows
to its Civil Magistrates, without the corritauKhng
awe of military force.' This measure accounts for
the late tnovements of the Danish troops in Hol-•
stein.

ODE
TO HIM WHO DESPAIRS OF SPAIN,

EY THE AUTHOR. OF "TALAVERA."

DzsrA tit 0? SPAIN! and Bost thou dare
To talk, cold plodder, of despair ?

Dost thou presume to scan
The proud revenge, the deathless zeal,
,The throes that injurd Nations feel,
Beneath the Oppressor's ban ;
The pride, the spirit, and the poW'r
That, growing with the arduous hour,
Ennoble patriot Mane

O thou of little heart-and hope,
Purblind diviner, can thy scope

Nothing but danger see ?
Unfrighted, tho' with carnage strew'd,
Ev'n in her ruins unsubdu'd,
Great in adversity,
Do Saragossa and her train—
Heroes and saints--survive in vain,
Shall they be told Despair of Spain,' ,
And told, alas ! by thee ?

Alt ! no ; though France's murd'rous band
Should sweep the deolated lard,

Revenge will still remain:
Smother'd, but not extinguish'd quite,
A spark will live, in time will light,
And fire the length'ning train ;
Stung by that pang which never dies,
Enthusiast millions shall arise,
And Europe echo to their cries,
NEVER DESPAIR OF SPAIN!

MR. DAVY'S LECTURES AT 7HE ROYAL

INS7'IT

LECTURE Viii.

In the Le6lure pi Saturday Mr. Davy offered a
further •developement of his opinons and experi-
ments relating to the,nature of oxymuriatic acid, or
chlorine gas,Sswhich he stated to be Ike oxygen, a
simple endeCompounded supporter of combustion.
Most inflammable substances barn in it ; some of
them even Spontaneously, atlhectimmon tempera.-
tore of the atmosphere. .According to the sotern
of the French chemists, this gas is a compound of
muriatic acid gas and oxygen ; bUt Mr, Davy oh•
served, that the compounds formed by the union
of different substances with this gas, by combus-
tion, were different in their nature from oxyds.—
Phosphorus when burned in oxyges forms the
phoSphoric acid, which- is a fixed substance thit
cannot be made volatile, hut a high degree of
temperature; but the compound of phosphorus and
chlorine is extrernely'volatile. Nor do its combi-
nations with sulphurs or the mesais, resemble sul-
phuric acid or metallic oxyds. Whatever substances
are burned in this gas, 'no.muriatic acid is formed,
unless water or oydrat;en be present. ‘Murialic
acid being a compound of chlorine with hydrogen,
cannot be formed by the union of chlorine with
other substances, except those alone which furnish
hydrogen. All metals shave a greater affinity for
chlorine than oxygen ; and metallic oxyds, when
heated in thiS gas, part with oxygen, and enter in-
combination with chlorine. The earths and alka-
lies also, when heated in this gas, part with oxy--
gen; . and their enetalFc.bases form new compounds
with -chlorine gas.- The (it:amity of oxygen they
give out during this process may be ascertained, and
we may thereby determine the proportions in,which
oxygen exists irr the different earths. Chlorine gal
m
also enters into co-bination with oxygen, and
fortns.a new gaseous substance; to which, on ac-
count of its colour, he gives the name "euchlorine
gas." The slightest increase of temperature is suf-
ficient to destroy the combination of these gasses :
light and beat are produCed by their separation. If
a piece of copper leaf be • placed in euchlorine gas,
no inflammation of the copper ensues ; but if the
temperature be g...ntly raised, the copy et immediate-
ly takes fire, uniting with the chlorine, and leaving
the oxygen gas unchanged. This experiment fur-
ther /sieves the greater affinity of metallic substances
for' chlorine than oxygen.
• Common Salt, which was supposed to be a mix-
ture of mutiatic acid and 'soda, Mr. Davy said was
a more simple substance than what was considered
as pure soda—soda consisting of a metal, oxygen,
and water and common salt of a metallic base and
an acid. The application of oxymnriatic acid, or
chlorine, to bleaching, had been extensively ap-
plied ; but Mr. Davy observed that in most of its
combinations, it injured the vegetable fibre of the
bleached substance. Last year, he stated be had.
found Iliat oxymuriat of magnesia, though less ra-
pid in its operation, was less injurious than any
other combination of this acid. He now ob-
served that it had been applied extensively by
some of the manufacturers in Dublin with great
success.

THE ARTS.—LAWRENCE will add even to his
high reputation. by a portrait-which he has made
of his friend KEMMLE, in the part lot Cato, an]
which is mentioned in high terms by the best
judges. The ability with which this actor sustains
the part demands .indeed the record of the pencil,
and none can supply that record with more bkill,
taste, and congenial spirit than the artist who has
so properly adopted the subjnat;

result, according to report, is not likely to attend
another similar concern ' (not a foreign one), in
which the,Proprietors are said to be at such high
warfare, as to threaten a separation at the close' of
the season.

Mr. Baker, one of the porters at the Queen's
Palace, died suddenly on Saturday, about font...o'clock
in the morning, at his house in Z'imlico, in -conse-
queOce of a bite floin a dog about six weeks since.
His first attack was on Thursday afternoon in the
Lodge, when his conduct was observed to be very
uncommon ; he however slept there, it being his
turn so to do, but had a very restless night. On a
medical gentleman belonging to the Household see-
ing him on Friday and learning that a dog had bic
him, he said he could not lite three days.
