THE Trial of the Mutineers et PortsmoUth'is ex_
peeled to close this day, in, which event we shall
probably have it in our power to hiy the Proceed-
ings in detail before our Readers to-morrow.

- It is understood that no others will be tried but
those of the Temeraire. Irregularities took place
on board two or three other Ships, but we. learn
with satisfaaion, that they did not amount to aaual
ads'of mutiny:

YESTERDAY two. English Vessels arrived at
Dover from Pordogne ; but they brought no French
Journals. By private Letters brought by that con-
veyatice, however,-we learn that the Fittst Coxstn,
has' left, Paris for Lyons.

Two Hamburgh Mails still remain due.

lita MAJESTY will hold a Levee to.rnorrow at
St:, James's Palace, for the Foreign Ministers.

The Honourable Artillery Corps, commanded by
Mr-Alderman.LE MESURIER, iS to have a grand
Ball on the QUEEN'S Birth-night, at the London
Tavern. We highly-approve Of these frequent con-
vivial; meetings, as serving to keep a valuable
Corps together.

This article jus'iifies the conduEt, of the Chief

By a Letter from an Officer on board.His,Majes-
ty's Ship Niger, at .Constantirtople, if appears that.
representation had been made by Captain Fltt.LyAtt
of that,Ship, to Lord ELGIN, stating the death .of.
Lieutenant HOBBS; at Rhanzwrie. His Lordship
made the case known to the GRAND SE rcrzioß,' to-
gether with his having left a mother and several
children entirely dependent on him for support
when the GRAND SEIGNIOR ordered 1500. piasters
to.be transmitted to England for the, use' of .his
, . .
Several'Artists whom LOra. ELGIN has sent from,
Constantinople London, are bringing with them
the. bas-reliefs - which they. .discovered in the
Teen-
ple of Theseus, at Athens, and which constitute the'
greatest part of those that were in the Temple of
iViincrva. •

The FrenCh Fleet, it is to be,appreliended, may
haie suffered some damage since its. sailing, by-the
severe gales which have taken place since. We
should'he sgrry that any interruption were to be
put to an Expedition, upon- the•.success of which,
in all probability, the future security of all West
India property in a great measure depends. , .
The-CHIEF CONSUL'S reply to the Public Bodies
who expressed a wish to erect a Monument to him,
spews a greatness of mind which refleets credit on
his charader-: ." If posterity," says he, " 'epter-
tairt the same favourable, sentiments of frie,, leaVe
it
to. them to do it.''. The reply was" worthy. of zi
rkornau:

The late Mr. TJDNE I' ranked with our very best
judges of Painting.' He had a sound taste for this
beautiful art, 'and possessed a very fine colledion
of piCtures. fiewztg.a man of general information,
great liberality, 'and of a very hospitable disposi,
don. Indecd, he was one of the old breed of true
English Gentlemen, which seems to .be nearly ex-
hausted, and lost amidst the frivolous vanity and
brutal impertinerice of the present race of our Coun-
trymen.

Some forgerie3 upon the .Bank have been lately
discovered ; the fabricatiOn. of 'which was devised
by some French Chevaliers d'lnthistrie. One. of
them has been apprehended. The mode of circulat-
ing them was through the means of some impure.; at
the West end of the town, on whom the-large Notes
were passed 'off in exchange for smaller ones. We
understand he is committed for trial.
A few days since, a Corn-faetor of Leicester was.
conviEled before the Justices, of that Borough, for
buying six quarters of wheat contrary to the Statute
of the 2211 of CHARLES and. Was fined 'the value
of the wheat, -and the penalty, -of forty shillings,
amounting, together, to the sum of 281. Bs.
MATCH AGAINST TIME.—The Gentleman who
has made the bet of .two thousand guineas (which
we mentioned in a former paper), that he will tra-
Vet, .which 'he may do either in a carriage or on
horseback, . from Barton to London .in twelve'
successive hours, is, we understand, to ride his
match about the beginning of .April. The Gentle-
man who has betted-against him is himself a Sports-
" man', 'and a person of considerable property in the
East Riding of. Yorkshire ; 'and what is a little ex-
: traordinary, has_made another bet of several hun-
. dred guineas, that he will find a person to perform
the same journey in the sante space of time.
The prize offered by,a Society in France for the
best composition.," on the means of extirpating in-

tise "on the causes of beggary, and, the means of
suppressing it."
