On Monday se'nnight a Court Martial was held on Captain
FurtifEAux, and the remaining Officers and crew of his Ma-
jesty's late ship Carron, when the Court determined—That the
loss of the Carron was occasioned by unaccountable currents
issuing out of the River Ganges ; that it appeared every precau-
tion had bean taken, by comparing the Rates of the Chronome-
tors, when it could be done; that there was no reason to sup-
pose the ship to hays been' within eighty miles of the place
where she struck ; that every possible exertion was made to
save the ship, without effect ; and that no blame whatever was
imputable to Capt. Fu 11.2.4"EAUX, his Officers, or Sitip's Corny
pany for their conduct on that occasion ; and the Court, there-
fore, adjudged them to be fully acquitted.

It is stated that every Drawing Room, previous
to the exploding of hoops, caused 100,0001. to
be expended amongst silk-manufacturers, dress-
makers, &c. &c. There cannot be a greater stag-
nation in the above trades than at present. If
hoops, therefore, at his MAJESTY'S Drawing
Rooms produce trade, it is a question, worthy of ,
consideration whether they should not be re-
vived.

A Letter from Vienna, dated March 4, in the
Dutch Papers, says, " The Greeks in this city
speak with confidence of the probability that a
Russian fleet from the Black Sea will support

- -
the operations against Naples. It is also cur-
rently reported that negociations are carrying on
to obtain the co-operation of a Bavarian army ;
so much seems certain, that as the affairs of Italy
have become more complicated than had been
anticipated, our Court is resolved to strengthen
its army beyond the Alps."

and that ten of them. most be delivered in the Autumn, before

THE NEW COMET.

• OBSERVATORY, GOSPORT, MARCH 17.—The Comet cani
to its perihelium to-day, namely, within 14 degrees of the sun.
It has only lessened its right ascension half a degree, an its
north declension four-fifths of a degree since ' the evening of the
24th of February, when it was first seen here ; but by the an-
; anal motion of the earth, its distance from the sun is decreased
about IV. Now it is advanced too far in the'solar rays to al-
low us to make correct observations on its position.—At the
close of this month it will begin; to set after the svn, and with a
dear horizon an hour before sunrise,' there will be a chance of
seeing it rise about E. N. during the ensuing month. The
weather has lately been unfavourable for seeing the Comet co
near the western horizon in the evenings ; as, from its very
slow geocentric motion, it will not afford-sufficient space to at-
temßt to deduce the form of its orbit, which is the chief object
to science.—lt is hoped that correct observations on the frequent
appearances of those celestial visitors, will, in the course of
time, throw new light on the theory of Comets, and divest it of
much of the uncertainty that seems to exist, in regard to the
form of their eccentric orbits and their periodic returns:
