SHEERNESS, JUNE 2!.

and Vixen Gun-brig, from a Cruize after Smugglers.
The latter has come into Harbour to be repaired.

The Favostrite and Speedwell Sloops were paid
off this day.

DEAL, JUNE 21.

'ARRIVED and sailed for the River, the Eliza.
beth, STEPHENSON, and Phirnix, DOUGLAS, from

Jamaica.

Saturday a Court Martial was held on board His
Majesty's ship Donnegal, in Portsmou.th Harbour, for
the.trial of Mr. J. H. TERKEL, late Master's Mate
of His Majesty's ship Albanai se, Captain NEW.
comsti (which was carried by the crew into an
enemy's port,) on a charge of being suspected to
have been privy to the mutiny,- and for not dis-
closing it to` the Captain.—Captain Sir RICHAILD
STRACH.►N, President; M. GliE ETHAN(' Esq. Judge
Advocate.

It appeared frnm the evidence-of Captain NEW.
COMDE, the only Witness called, that Mr.TERRELL
had been sent frain the Ship in a Prize, the day
preceding the Mutiny, and that there was no other.
reason for supposing he hatibeen privy thereto; but
that Godfrey, the head•- Mutineer, who has since
been executed, had cieciared'at Malaga, that Mr.
TEKxEt, knew-of it, and would have been concern.
ei if he bad- been in the Ship. The Court, after
hearing the Prisoner's Defence, and the many Cer-
tificates of good CharaCter given him by Officers
under whom he had served, both before and since
hiabeing confined as a Prisoner,
.adjudged him to
be honourably acquitted.
The case of this young man appears to be exceed-
ingly hard ;- merely on the suspicion thrown on his
charaCter by Godfrey, he has been transmitted from
ship to ship for upwards of eighteen months as a
prisoner, by which means he has entirely lost his
promotion in the Navy ; it is however highly credit-
able to his charatter, that during his confinement on
board several ships in the Mediterranean, such was
the opinion of the Officers commanding those ships,
that they sufrcrtd him not only to go at large on
board, but to take a very attiwe flrt in upwards of
thirty actions with gun-boats, and in cut►ing out
vessels from enemy's ports.

After the above Trial, T. Parsons, A. PEver,
and J. Marriott, late Seamen belonging to L' Alba-
Naise, were tried for aiding and assisting in the above
Mutiny ; when the Court were of opinion that the
Charge had been in part proved against them, but in
consideration of the age and length of confinement of
Parsons, and his good character, and the other two
prisoners, who voluntarily returned to Gibraltar
from Malaga with the Captain, the Court adjudged
them all to be mulled of their pay, and imprisoned
thtee months in the Marshalsea, M'Ever to receive
So lashes, and Marriot zoo.

It is calculated that upwards of two hundred and
Sixty new faces will appear in the next Parliament.

If there should be a contest for Cambridgeshire,
it Will be the only County Contest in England.

Mr. LYGON has offered himself again forWorces-
zershire—so that the report of his being called to the
Upper House must 'be unfounded.
Mr. DENisoy, the present Member for Wootton
ttsset, has offered himself for Colchester.
Mr. Lamar° N has been received at Durham, with
great acclamations.

On Thursday last MICHAEL ANGELO TAYLOR,
.sq. and his Lady arrived at Durham.
Mr. LUSHINGTON, it seems, has declared his in.
tention of standing again for the City. In this
case a smart contest may be expelled.
The Town of Weymouth will be very strongly
Contested. Mr. GASRI.EL STEWARD, Sir JAMES
PULTENEY MURRAY, Mr. GARTSISHORE, Mr.
ADAMS, and Mr. AkstrraNcrt, are the Candidates.
The latter is supported by what are called the In.
dependent Inhabitants. _ _ _

Mr. NEFEAN is considered as certain to In re-
turned for Bridport.

The Borough of Shaftesbury will be warmly con_
!cited by two .Gentlemen, in opposition to the
Interest ofrol. Woon, who lately made a purchase
of Mr. PAttr. But, lELD'S property there.

There will be no opposition whatever to the
present Members for the Town and County of
Dorset.

Mr. RossoN, it is said, is a Candidate for
Bishop's Castle. We rather think it is some castle
in the air.
The Duke and Dutchess of MoNTaose left town
on Friday last for Scotland.
The Countess of CAMDEN arrived last week• at
Brighton.
Lord and Lady SHAFTESBURY intended to have
passed a short time in France, but in consequence of
her Ladyship's indisposition, their trip has been
postponed for the present.
Mr. SHERIDAN has been indisposed with an in-
termittent fever, but is so much better as to be able
to resume his Parliamentary duties.
Colonel GREVILLE, it seems, gave a splendid
dinner on Sunday last to a party of friends.

THE PILOT THAT ItIOOR'D US IN I'EACE.

je we honour the Pilot that weatheed the Storm,
And nc'er can our justice and gratitude cease,
Shall the sight of the Harbour our hearts fail to warm ?
No—Here's to the Pilot that moor'd us in Peace !

For the chance of new warfare M.'s moil may sigh;
And PARTY, hostilities strive to renew ;
To Wisdom, that Nation to Nation could tie,
The blessing of Europe are honestly due.
And shall not his merits then BRITONS revere,
Who took to the Helm, at his SOVEREIGN'S command—
A Pilot who prov'd he could steadily steer,
And the Vessel secure from the Storm and the Strand ?
Who, when gloom and dejeaion hung over the State,
As the ORB THAT PRI,SERV'D us its radiance withdrew,
Brought the Ship into port, thro' the perils of fate,
Unsully'd her Flag, and in safety her Crew.
Exulting, impetuous,. on Glory we gaze,
And caught by War's triumphs scarce think of its woes;
But the pause of refidetion its horrors displays,
And the heart of Humanity pants for repose.
SO ADDINGTON, proudly as BRITONS we burn,
On viewing the Laurels by Conquest assign'd,
With still nobler delight to thy Olive we turn,
As the symbol of happiness shar'd by MANKIND.

0 ! take, then—for Honor with Spirit maintain'd,
For Counsels, by judgment and prudence matured—
! take, for the PEACE which thy wisdom has gain'd,
The Thanks of an Empire whose Rights arc secur'd !
And 0 if the value of Concord we prize,
And wish that the blessings of life may increase ;
The respect of the Good, and the praise of the Wise,
Will point to the Pilot that moor'd us in PEACE !

On Friday. the Transports designed for the Em-
barkation-of the .19rh • Regiment of Infantry, .ar-
rived in Plymouth Sound, from which place they are
to proceed to Halifax, the intended station of • the
Regiment. On Tuesday the 15th inst. this excel-
lent Regiment was reviewed by Major-General
ENGL./art), Commanding that Distrift.
Each rlianceuvre performed by. the Regiment at_
traded the,greatest attention of many experienced
veteran Officers: with steadiness and correctness
each formation was completed.—The uniform sol-
dier-like appearance of all ranks, and their good
conduCt, was such, that the General has been pleased
to place on record in the Garrison Orders.

GARRISON ORDERS.

MajorXeneral ENGLAND begs to express his perfed ap-
probation of the very military appearance, steady and correct
state of discipline manifested by the 29th Regiment yester-
day, at their field inspecTion, •
Although the Major-General has hitherto been silent in
communicating.to the Regiment his approbation of their ge-
neral good conduEt during twelve months that he has been
fortunate in having them under his Command, yet he has not
negleded to report it frequently, for the information of the
Commander in Chiet, in such terms as cannot fail to recom.
mend them to His Royal Highness's approbation.
He now requests Lieutenant-Colonel 11v No, the Majors,
Captains, other Officers, and the Regiment at large, will
accept his tribute of thanks for their very exemplary anti
soldier-like condud whilst stationed here, a conduct which
by his remark has resulted from a proper system of discipline
established in the Regiment, and which refieds the highest
credit on those Officers who have established it, as well as
on those who, by a strict and persevering attention, have ably
supported it.
, He assures the Regiment, that he regrets the approaching
separation, though happy to congratulate them that their
destination (to his knowledge for many years) is to a remark-
able healthy ,climate, and as good a quarter for a Soldier as
any part of His Majesty's dominions can boast of.
It. b.

The Commanding Officer has much pleasure in commu-
nicating to the Regiment Major-General ENGLAND'S appro-
bation of their condua in general, as well as of their appear-
ance in the field yesterday, whkh he has been good enough to
express in such handsome terms. —He trusts it will be an
excitement to the Men to conduct themselves at all times so
as to deserve approbation, and they will find, that good con-
dud is never passed by unnoticed or unrewarded.

The eyes of all Europe seem fixed on the Royal
Interview which is about to take place at Memel. As
it is not usual in modern times for Sovereign Princes
to rendezvous at a sea-port town, merely for the sake
of a little recreation, we cannot feel surprized that
such an event should occupy the minds of most per-
sons on the Continent.

The French are endeavouring to shew the great
importance of Louisiana, which has been ceded to
them by Spain ; and a Memoir of the Count de
VERGENNEs, in which its value is rated at the
highest price, has been published. The Count de
VERGENNES, in his Memoir, shews likewise the
importance of Canada, how necessarily Louisiana_
and Canada are conflated, and how much it should
be the policy of France to recover it.
A Public Print declares itself unable to compre-
hend what the MARGRAVINE of ANSPACH has
gained by becoming A PRINcEss of the German
Empire. The Print alluded to must be ignorant of
a circumstance very well known. The Mar-
gravine was not induced by foolish vanity to
solicit that honour, but to obtain a right to inherit
great arrears due to THE MARGRAVE, in case of
his demise, to which arrears she could not have
succeeded unless that honour had been conferred.
An-Account recently received from St. Helena
says, " On the I ith of March our new Governor,
Colonel ROBERT PATTON, landed here from the
ship Arniston, under a salute from the Mount, of
nineteen guns. The principal Officers concluded
him into the Council Room, where the Secretary
read the new Commission of Government, and the
Governor took the Chair at the Board accordingly.
At the request of the Prefeet of Police, the Me-
dical School of Paris, having made a variety of ex-
periments relative to the substances employed in
painting children's toys, have stated as their opi.
nion, that the sale of such articles as are coloured
with metallic compositions should he prohibited.—
The Prefed has caused their report to be printed,
and Copies of it to be sent to the Commissaries of
Police.

Last week a long depending race was run for a
very considerable sum, on Chipping Norton Com-
mon, amidst a large assemblage of persons, be-
tween two gentlemen of the town, one upwards of
7o years of age, giving the other, under 3o yews,
ten yards in zoo. The odds were two to one in
favour of the young gentloman, who won by only a
few inches,

EDINBURGH, Ju NE 19.

Os Thursday afternoon the following persons ar-
rived in Town from Aberdeen, under custody of
Mr. GEORGE WILLIAMSON, Messenger, and,were
committed to prison, viz. Ensign John Lanigan;
Walter M'Kenz;e, Hugh Mitchill, Andreae Mackai.,
Alex. Sutherland, serjeants ; and Win. Thomson,
private ; all'beionging to the Ross and Cromarty
Rangers. Their commitment is in consequence of
the late unfortunate affair at Aberdeen, on His
Majesty's Birth-day. They were brought in a
Revende Cutter.

Yesterday morning the first division of the Both
Regiment, commanded by Colonel GRAHAME, of
Balgowan, which behaved so gallantly in Egypt,
marched through this City on their way to Perth ;
the Officers and Men look well, but they still con.
tinue to retain the marks of the warm climate of
Egypt.

VIENNA, JuNz 5.

ON the td inst. the eastern side of this City
was threatened with very serious mischief. .The
Inspelor of the Military Powder Magazine, dis-
tant about half a league from the City, and situate
on an eminence, had gradually colleeled a great
quantity of gunpowder in his house, which was at a
little distance from the Magazine. From certain
circumstances, he understood that his condua had
excited suspicions, and that it was intended to
search his house. To prevent this, he resolved on
suicide ; and having removed, on various pretences,
his wife and children, his horse and some other
.things, to a place of safety, he set fire to the
gunpowder, by which his house, with the la-
boratory and the adjoining guard-room, were
blown up into the air, or shattered into pieces.
His body was shockingly mangled, and five sol-
diers of the Regiment of Kerpen, who were in the
guard-room, were killed ; IS other persons were
besides mortally wounded, and two are missing.
Fortunately the explosion did not communicate to
the powder-magazine, if it had, the consequences
would so doubt havd been much more calamitous.

In consequence of the restoration of tranquillity
in the Island of Saint Domingo, Dispatches have
been sent off to Plymouth, to he forwarded from
thence in the Hunter Sloop of War, to Admiral
DUCKWORTH, at Jamaica, with orders to send
home all the remaining Ships of War upon that sta-
tion, except the few which are to continue on the
peace establishment. The Dedaigneuse Frigate,
which sailed a few days since, has similar Dispatches
on board for the Cape of Good Hope and the East
Indies. One half of the Ships of War at the for-
mer place are to return to England, and the re-
mainder are to proceed to India, with the troops,
who are about to evacuate that settlement, and for
the purpose of relieving a like number ordered home
to be paid off.

from the Lords Commissioners for regulating, dired-

A Monument has been ereaed in the vicinity of
the City of Augsburg, on a spot called the Island, in
honour of the ARCHDUKE CHARLES. It is a Temple
supported by four columns, and decorated with four
Lion's heads. In the interior, on a pedestal of grey
marble, is erefted a white Carrara marble Bust of His
Royal Highness, in a Roman costume. Upon the top
is an eagle with expanded wings, and holding the
Imperial Globe, with a laurel branch. This Mo-
nument is i 6 feet (German) in height, and bears
the following inscription :—‘' To the Saviour of
Germany, by some Germans."—At each corner is
a young oak, the symbol of the German Heroes.
There are four approaches bordered with roses and
jessamine. The inauguration was to take place
immediately after Whitsuntide.
Amongst the numerous hired servants, in the
late Earl of Lonsdale's Family, at Lowther-Hall,
in Westmorland, there are now living eleven men
and women, whose servitude amounts to 467 years;
twelve men and women, whose term amounts to
349 years ; other men, women, and boys, in num-
ber sixty-nine, whose servitude has been from z to
27 years each.—All the above persons, in number
gz, are at present in the service of Lord Viscount
LOWTHER. Lord LOWTHER has given to the two
principal grooms of the late Earl, six capital stal-
lions. On Saturday se'nnight, his Lordship order-
ed three hundred bushels of potatoes to be given to
the poor of the neighbourhood of Lowther.
On the Bth inst. about five in the morning, a
young woman, accompanied by her sister and her
infant-of two months old, left Tournay for the pur-
pose of going to, her husband, who•was then at a
fair about four miles from that town. She had
scarcely proceeded 8o paces from her house, when
one of the traces of the chaise broke, and so fright-
ened the horse that he jumped into the Scheldt,
dragging the chaise after him. The whole soon
disappeared. The driver, however, knowing how
to swim, had the good fortune to escape. The
poor mother previously to her sinking, had the
precaution to throw the child out of her arms,.and
he was immediately saved by the driver. One of
the females was taken up dead six hours after, but
the other had been sought for in vain.

L ATV REPORT

COURT• OF KING'S BENCI-I,

CLERK .Z.'. GREY.

This was an Aftion against the Defendant,
recover the sum of 4.01. being the value of a p.:r.
cel which belorged to the wife of the Plaintiff, an
which she was to take with her as her luggage,
in virtue of a place she took and paid for as an in.
side passenger from London to Market I-Lrborough,
in a coach, of which the Defendant was the pro_
prietor, and which parcel was lost before the coac:l'
arrived at Islington.
The Defence to the Aftion was, That by virtue
of a board stock up in the Defendant's coact_
office, on which were written the following words,
the Defendant was not liable
" Take-notice, that no more than 51. will be accounteJ
for any Goods or Parcels delivered at this Office, wiles;
entered as such, and paid for accordingly."

Upon which, as the Defendant had not paid this 51.
into Court, a Verdia was found tor the Plaintiff,
for the sum of sl, ; the Plaintiff's Counsel giving
up his claim to more, subject to the opinion of the
Court, upon the Law of this Case, &c.

Mr. ERSKINE now, the point being saved to
him, moved for a rule to shew cause why this
Verdia should not be set aside, and a non:.suit
entered—upon which the Court granted the Rule.
