WE received p HatOurgh Mail at a late hour
last night. It contains some curious particulars
respeaing the Lectures of Door GALL, on the
Physiognomy of *tills, who, it seems, though for,
bidden by. a Decree of the Cabinet of Austria,
continues his Leaures, at the requisition of the
Foreign Ministers.
By letters from Sentlin, of the ;Bth ult. we have
P obtained some farther accounts of the murder of
the PActrA of BELGRADE, and the insurredional
movements in that quarter, which are, in the pre,
sent state of Europe, worthy of the serious atten.
tion of every Statesman and friend to humanity.
Another expedition has sailed from the Texel
on the 13th ult. This is the third, which Las sailed
from Holland, and it is said to be destined to the
Mediterranean.

Dur Letters from Hambirgh state,' 'that, the

beck will, it is said, be ceded to Denmark or to
Prussia. They likewise suppose that all the Im-
perial Cities will serve as Indemnities to the dis-
possessed Princes ; but all this, it is well known,
cannot take place without the consent of France,
which is now anxiously sought for, but without any
certainty of it; being obtained.

-From New York Papers, received at Greenock,
to the 29th of December inclusive, it appears, that
the Convention between the French Republic and
the United States of America, was finally ratified
by the Senate of, .the United States on the 19th of
that month, and promulgated by the President on
the 21st. ,otnrilercial Advertiser, of'the 28th
December, states,: that. ,the, ship, Young Eagle,
Steele, from Porto Cali,alia-; .on her passage off the
Havannah, spoke a .11ritish frigate going in. there
with the dispatches of the news of Peace.

On Sunday last, an Overland Express was received
from Bombay, ,cia Bussorah. A i,,ivate letter states
that Col. STEP H ENSON, with a Detaclunent of the
Bombay Army, had obtained considerable advan-
tages over the Rajah of Pyche, and it was thought
that he could not again be formidable. The Coorin.
naad Rajah co-operated with the Colonel's Troops,
and cut off the Rajah of-Pyche's retreat, at the time
Colonel SARTORIUS foamed a jun6tion with the
main Army. The Pyche remained in a forlorn
state at Cundagurry, at the East fbot of the Ghaut.
It is mentioned that our Troops have suffered very
little inconvenience from the roads, the, jungles
having been cleared away, whereby we are enabled
to make forced marches. Tranquillity is soon ex-
peCted in Cotiote : Chericul is undisturbed.
It was very liberal in Lord ELGIN to interpose
at Constantinople in behalf of the French Flag
when it was degraded by the CAP IDAN PACH4 on
his entering that capital. It is not likely that the
British Flag will ever receive such an indignity,
but it May be questioned whether, in such a case,
the same noble zeal would have been manifested for
the expiation of national insult.

COCKPIT, WHITEHA L4> Friday, Jan. 29.

BEF9IIp the Most Noble and Right Hon. the
Lords Commissioners of Appeals in Prize Causes.

The Bark Hairiet and Eliza, Slemnan,
Master.—This was a case of further proof respOi-
ing the cargo. It appeared that this was an Ameri-
can vessel, which was captured on the 7th of August
1794., whilst in the prosecution of a voyage from
New York to St. Sebastian's in Spain, by His Ma-
jesty's Ship of War the Resolution, Francis Pen-
der, Esq. Commander, and the Africa, Roddam
Home, Esq. Commander, and carried to Halifax.
It also appeared, that her cargo consisted of 2 too
barrels of flour, which bad been purchased at Bal-
timore by the Agents of the French Government,
to be sent to France ; and the vessel had originally
proceeded from Baltimore, and was sailing under
convoy of a French Frigate, but being pursued by
some English Ships of War, the convoy dispersed,
and she steered for New York, where, on her ar.
rival, the Master refusing to proceed on the in-
tended voyage, the French Consul was under the
necessity of selling the cargo to a Merchant of that
place, for whom it was claimed.
It was contended, on, the part of tho Captors;
that this was a mere colourable transfer of the pro-
perty to this Merchant at New York.
After hearing the Counsel on behalf of the
Claimants, their Lordships affirmed the sentence of
the Court below, and condemned the Claimant in
the costs of the appeal.

Letters from the Admiral Patlcy, of 14. guns,
dated Gibraltar the Bth inst. state, that the com-
mand of her was-given to Lieut. MORRIS, and she
was to sail in a day or two with dispatches for
Admiral Lord KEITH, at Malta. She was per-
fedly refitted and repaired at Gibraltar.
A Smuggling Cutter, called the Flora, 9f Fowey,
taken after a long chace, off the headlands of
Whitsand Bay, was carried into Plymouth on Satur.
day by the NJ-mph, of 36 guns, Captain S. DOU;
GLAS. She is quite new, and had on board 944
ankers, nine gallons each, of brandy and geneva,
with some dry goods. She is not armed: but
there are in Guernsey arid Jersey several armed
Luggers and Cutters, taking in their cargoes.
Two of 18 guns fell-in with-two gun-brigs, of 14
guns, fired into them, and so disabled them, that
they escaped with their cargoes. his temerity of
the Smugglers has occasioned the suuden sailing of
the different Squadrons of Frigates.

The 66th, or Berkshire Regiment of Foot, have
been eighteen years on Foreign service ; fourteen
years of that time in the West Indies.

The foll Owing Anecdote of TOUSSAINT LOU.
VERTU RE may be relied' on :—Six White Planters
had been sentenced to die, at the time of the Con-
vention between General MAITL AND and the Ne-
gro Chief. The former, on releasing the Black
Officers, sent a request to ToussAINT, that the six
viaims might be spared ; to which he replied,
that he would take it into consideration. The
next Sunday, when the Priest was in the pulpit,
TOUSSAINT mounted and ordered him our, observ-
ing, that on that day he should preach, which he
accordingly did for a whole hour, on the duty of
forgiving our Enemies. While he was thus dis-
coursing, the six Gentlemen who had been con-
demned to die, were brought into the aisle, with
halters round their necks. At the close of his ser_
mon, he addressed himself particularly to them, and
observed, that they should now see that he was a
good Christian, and could praaise what he preach.
ed,--" You are now free," said he ; " Go, and sin
no more."

Letters from France state, that the wolves are so

Lady Bituc E last week had a narrow escape:—
Her Ladyship was standing near the fire, when the
muslin dress which she wore was set on fire by a
spark which flew out, and her Ladyship reduced to
the most perilous situation. She immediately rung
the bell, but finding the flames rapidly increase,
she had the presene6itof mind to roll herself in the
carpet, and belblreiihe Otfants came, she had ex-
tinguished thOi(;r tViihotit-aby other injury than the
destruction of Fier -clothes, hdr skin severely scorched,
and the burning of pirt.ofter hair.
