DEAL, APRIL 6.

ARRIVED and sailed for the River, His Majesty's
Ships Atlas,Ruby,Standard,Texel, Roebuck, Trusty;
Argo, Inconstant, 4strea, and Autumn Sloop.
The Hound Sloop arrived yesterday, and remains
with the St. Albans, Amazon, Monkey, and Yixen
Gun-brigs.

riis Majesty's Ship Isis, of
.50 guns, commanded
by Capt. HARDY, is now equipping, to carry out
the Dtme of KENT to his Government ofGibraltar.

GEORGE GOOLD, Esq. of the City of Cork, is,
we hear, shortly to lead to the hymeneal altar, the
amiable and agreeable Miss BROWN, daughter of
Lord KENMARE.

The Union Club is now become the first place
in Town for fashionable resort; the House is fitted
up in the first style of elegance, and every thing
adapted for the pleasure and convenience of the Sub-
scribers.

The Pic-Niciery seems to have sunk into com-
plete insignificance, a circumstance that is by no
means surprizing, considering that .the Subscribers
were not gratified for their money with -" the feast
of reason," or even a good supper.
Mrs. Jottomes appearance on Monday night,
was greeted in the manner so exquisite a Comic
Performer deserves. Three distina plaudits from
every part of the House, marked her first entrance.
There is much fine Scenery in the new Ballet
brought out at Covent Garden Theatre, but the
story is not very clearly told, even with the aid of
written rolls, a mode of insinuating the argument
that always has a bad effea.

On Friday last the Hon. Mrs. CORNWALL, Lady
of joint CORNWALL, Esq. was safely delivered of
a Daughter, at his house in Grosvenor-place.
Major General CAscoYNE, in a letter to the
M,yor of Liverpool, dated House of Commons,
March 19, i Boz, says.---" I made application to
Lord 1-1,-iwKEsaußy's Office, respea;ug the time
that would be allowed for the importation of, the
Produce of the captured Islands in the \Vest Indies ;
I received for answer, that no part of the Definitive
Treaty could be with propriety made public official-
ly, until the same had been ratified, which will re-
quire upwards of a fortnight."
Even those who are in the daily habit of vilify-
ing Mr. An DI Ne:TON'S Administration, are obliged
to confess that there never was made so advanta-
geous a Loan for the Public, as that just concluded
by the Minister. They say that it is a circum-
stance which, after such a War, in the face of such
a Peace, and with so large a Loan, is a most satis.
fatiory ptoof of the wealth, solidity, and high hopes
of the People of England. We perfedly concur in
.this opinion, and we think the Loan 'a proof of our
prosperity that must strike Foreign Nations with
astonishment and envy.
We are told by the Enemies of Government
that the Income Tax had become very unpopu_
lar. Our Financial history does not afford many
instances of popular Taxes, and that one which was
intended to deduti from every person a tenth of his
Income should not be so, is not very surprising.
We certainly rejoice that we are relieved from this
heavy burden, but we are not so unfair as to accuse
those with injustice who imposed this Tax, at a
moment when the necessity of the times called for
it. We consider it as a War-tax, to be resorted to
only in times of difficulty, and if such should again
occur, we trust that the spirit of the People will
induce them to take upon themselves the burden,
with such improvements as may be formed for the
better colledion of the Duty, rather than place the
Nation at the mercy of an ambitious and insulting
Enemy, which would have been our lot, if this
system had not been adopted.
It is very extraordinary that the Court of Di_
rectors have not long since been apprized of the
great convenience and advantages which must re-
sult from their employing Ships of less burthen in
the Bengal Trade, by doing which the vessels
would be able to load and unload at Calcutta, and
the difficulties, delays, expence, and, in some sea-
sons, dangers to which the Trade is now subjel by
the Ships laying at so great a distance, would he got
rid of. The only objection that can be made to.
smaller vessels is, that Passengers would not be
so well accommodated, a circumstance certainlyof
considerable importance to the Commanders*
