His Majesty's Ship Magicienne,. on the zgth of
August, in entering Helvoetsluys, touched the
Middle Ground, and several Schuyts have been sent
for the purpose of lightening her, and assisting her
„to get off. ,
The Jong From Spanderman, from London to
Rotterdam, was lost pn the 2.5,th' ult. near Helvoet.

The Court of .Direetors 'of the East India Com-
pany have appointeci the Rev. THOMAS HAR•rw ELL
to be a Chaplain at their Presidency of Fort Wil-
liam, its Bengal.

•A very haiedsorne Monument has been erthed at
Benares, at the public expence, over the grave of
the late unfortunate Mr. CHERRY, and the other
Gentlemen who were traitorously murdered in Ja-
nuary 1799, by the sanguinary 'VIZIER ALLY.
On Saturday last, the principal Gentlemen of
Finchley, Barnet, Colney Hatch, ,Southgate, and
Edmonton, held their annual Venison Feast at the
Cherry Tree, at Southgate. Mr. MAX wwAlt zNo and
Mr..BYSO were invited co partake of the Festivities
of the day, and were among the foremost to promote
harmony and good humour.----The Chair was filled
by Mr. COLLINS, and Mr. ALLEN officiated as
his Deputy. .The Company, in the course of the
day, more than once expressed their warmest soli-
citude for Mr.MAINWARING's interest and wel-
fare ; and on the whole,, never was conviviality
better supported. Appropriate toasts were given,
and the bottle and song were alternately pushed
round till eleven o'clock, when the company, sepa-
'rated, as happy as good wine and good humour could
make them.

It is to be hoped, that the Monarchs of RussiA
and Palissia, since they have Offered a settled Pro-
vision to Lotiis the Eighteenth, which he has de-
clined as a Pension, and solicited by way of a Loan,
cvill
,comply with the desire of the unfortunate
PRINC E, and gratify his wishes in the mode pro-
posed by himself. Such a mode is least calculated
to outrage the, delicacy Of the. illustrious Fugitive,
and a genefous mind would surely prefer that .man-
ner of bestowing a favour; which' would render it
most acceptable to the obliged Party.''
The Portuguese, perfeaty at a loss to account
f6i the sudden 'and abrupt departure of General
LAstvEs, are inclined to attribute.it to some particu-
lar attentions paid by n Croat Perst,...gc to his
Wife. That he should so resent this, if it were
true, is a new trait in the French Charaaer.

Fifteen days previous to his cleath,girince HENRY
of Prussia visited the tomb which he had destined
for his last abude„ and having tried the place where
he wished his body to be deposited, he said, smiling,
to one of his principal domestics who accompanied
him, " Take care that: my head is placed on one
side, in order that I may see what is passing."
The household of Prince HENRY of Prussia, was
almost entirely, composed of Ftenchnten. • The
Prince spoke and wrote only in French.
John Read, late Supercargo of ,the Brig Adven-
ture, was yesterday brought up for anal examination
before the LOR D MAYOR, upon the charge of being
concerned with several other persons, already corn-
Mitted fOr trial, in conspiring-Co sink the said Ves-
sel ofT Brighton. Several.persons4ttended, includ-
ing eight or nine Underwriters, and Officers and crew
of the vessel, being the same who attended upon the
prior examination upon the charge in question. Of
these the depositions of only two were read over,
the principal of whom was Thomas Cooper, Mate
of th old Brig, who has turned King's evidence.
The nihef was John Morris, one of the boys be-
longing to the Adventure:. 1-k was fully commit-
ted tol\Tewgate fur - trial at the ensuing Adniitally
