GREENOCK,

BETWEEN Saturday night and Sunday morning,
it came on a tremendous storm from the eastward,
with a heavy swell, which still continues with on,
abated violence. Most of the shipping in the
Roads have drove—the Governor Ph9oN,At TC
touched the ground yesterday morning at half tide,
but by considerable exertions during the flood, she
was got into deep water; and hati received no da-
mage. The Hero, CAR NTQC HAN, for BarCeiOna,
which was lying at the Tail of the Bank, drove, oo
Sunday night so hard, that they were obliged nt
Cut away her, main and mizen masts ; she was nearly
on shore yesterday morning, near the powder Ma-
gazine, but during the flood tide, by alive exer-
ttoni, she was got under wey, and ran into Gouruck
harbonr, her she now lies in Safety,

It should seem that on the 11;llelortares datT,,er
being apparent, the sailors, agreeable to a custolri,
more honoured in the breach than the 6bservande,
began to pipe all hands to plunder. Not many
hours after the wreck, some of the Captain's spoons
were sold in the Borough; and above col, Worth of
his plate was. stopped yesterday morning, upon a
buhpicious pcp,ofi._

A Surveyor of Private Trade, in the service Of
the Company, was one of the forlunate Survivors;.
and it is rather a remarkable Coincidence, that this
person was also on "hoard Cite unfortunate'
Addhigio'n, and tiler had also a narrow escape for his
life. Another singtilar circtimstance is the death of
Mr. CLARKE, on the Nery day on which his son, a

'CREDJTORS 111 FRENCH FUNDS.
romilinn11111.••••••
"
YVTERDAY, pursuant to Advertisement, a Ce.
ne;al: Meeting was held at the London Tavern, of
the British Creditors in the French Funds.
Mr. Imp EY took the Chair, and rose ,to explain
the objed for which the Meeting had been convened.
Hebegan by adverting to the Memorial,. presented
by the Committee in, the name,of the Creditors at
large- to Lord HA wx eSI3 UR Ys and to the result'of the
different interviews which they had with hii Lordship„
since the Acob September ultimo, .tiow,n to Wednes.
day las. It were unnecessary to enter into any
detailci aceo),intlof - the preceding interviews, be.,
cause soliatrasod„io that of Wednesday:contained
the gerteraloresolt of all the others.. Mr. NM(
then proceeded to state to the Meeting the grounds
on which the British Creditors in the French
Funds thought themselves justified in resting .their
claims, and which he had submitted to the considera.
tion of the ,Noble Secretary of State. These grounds
he reduced to three heads ; ist, The conditions held
out by the French Government at different periods,
to induce Foseigoers to take a share in their Loans,.
assuring them, that in such cases, they should not be
subjected to the Laws by whichthe Natives might
be bound.—ad, The stipulations of the Commer.
dal Treaty.. conformably to which . a notice of
1.2 months should he given to Britith Subjeas to re.,
move their property, in case of the breaking out of a .
war.-3d, The 14. th article of the Treaty of Amiens,-•
by which it was stipulated that all If,QUeStfatiOrl3
on either side on funds, revenues, eee. shall be
.taken off immediately after the signature of the De..
fillitiVC Treaty. None of these conditions had been
complied with in the,present case ; but notwith:
standing the inconveniences the British holders of
French Stock had already suffered, lyet they were
willing, nor could they think it an unfair or pre.
sumptuous expedation, to be put on the sam'footing
with the-Subk!as of the French Government. To
the justice of that Government they were not re.
ludant to submit their claims, and if his Lordship
approve and abet their views, it was their wish to
forward a Memorial. to His Excellency Lord WHIT.
wou Tit , praying him to present the same to the
Fteocli Government, hoping at the same time that
his Loolihp would kindly second their request to
Lord Wit i'..wokrit, and exert pia best. endeavours
to give wt ight tn. their representation.
To the grounds here adduced, Lord HAWK
au it y made a few objeCtions, not, he said, such
as his ovn mind would prompt him to urge ; but
Lich he thought it was likely might be urged
by others. In the first place, it might be thought
equitable that British Creditors should be dealt by
in the same manner as Prussian or Austrian Credi-
tors, ad, It might be said that no stress could be
laid on the COmmercial Treaty of 1786, because that
Treaty could not be supposed to exist after the
passing of the Alien Bill. 3d, The Treaty of
Amiens was: supposed to have in view property in
erre, and not that which had been sequestered, or
the payment of which had been suspended. What,
ever might be the force of these objeetiotis, he -
was not inclined to lay any stress upon them ;
but all he imagined himself able to do, wail to re.
commend the matter to Lord Wlirrwutt-sti, and in
that view he should write a letter to his Lordship,
requesting he Might espouse the cause of the Claim.
ants in the manner which to him might appear. best
calculated to obtain their object. With this detertnis
nation of the Noble Secretary of State the Meeting
seemed to be highly satisfied ;
,andon the sug jest*
of Mr. SAUNDERS, it, wasproyosed that Sir r, LIJAH
who was now at Paris, 'should be requested
to act as their Agent, and that a power of attorney
should forthwith he ;sent to him for that purpose.
This proposition was Unanimously ared to ; and
thanks having been voted to the Committee for
their. allive exertions in behalf of the common cause
of the Proprietors, the Meeting broke up.

m
tunate circustantes which, it appeared by this
trial, had happened, would be a proper warning to
the Magistrates of Aberdeen, and to all other Magi.
mates, to stop all riots and tumults at their first
beginning. Rejoicings on the Birthday, of out
gracious Sovereign, were extremely proper, and it
was natural that the minds of the peoplesshould
come elevated on sushi an occasion, but whery tlleY
proceeded to riot and tumult, they ought to be in.
scantly checked by the Magistrates, so as to prevent
all danger; both xo.civil and military inhabitapts.
The Panneis were then assoilzied, and dismissed
from the Bar.

the purpOrt of which was, that 05 the Pantiels'had been,
tried at the:instance of a private prosecutor, they
should be entitled to their Expences. He grounded
his plea on a Scotch At of liarliameot, which saysl
if a private person shall prosectite, and shall not
make out his charge, it shall be Accounted calum-
nious, and he shall pay the: expences of the De.
fenders.—ln this case the Pannels had been put to
very great expences, and having been acquitted, lie
claimed their Expcnces.
Mr. WM. RAR replied, that for reasons unknown
to him, .but certainly very -proper ones, the Public.
Prosecutor had declined prosecuting in this case ;
but it would be very hard indeed, if p poor:nen had
lost.hia only. son by murder,. he should have no Q}'
portunity of bringing the pereons supposed to have
committed that-crime to trial, without being,
sub-
je to expences in:case of their acquittal. This
was adding injury to injury ; and the effect 01 the
present motion being agreed to by the Court would
be, to: &min the unfortunate father, Daniel Ross,
to Leßetual imprisonment.
