jesties took their departure from Paris for Fontain-
bleat].

The Imperial Guard has given an entertainment 4
to the Portuguese Legion, The Portuguese exhi"-
bited the utmost enthusiasm at the idea of going to
Portugal to fight against the English, to Undeceive
their countrytnen, . and to induce them to pay their
tribute of admiration to the Emperor, wk►om the
Portuguese Legion ha 4 followed to the field of hat tie,
whew they partook 'al the glory of the French
armies.

This Legion is composed of the choice men of the:
Army ot Portugal, and the Officers belonging to it,
for the greater part, are ot the most considerable
families of the country.' The 'return of this Legion.
to Portugal %ill be the best answer to the atrocious
libels'and unfounded calumnies of the English, who
have not tailed to repteseni to ►heir cOuntrymeri that
the whole of this 14,gtun has been either poisoned
are ,assassinated.

• COLBURG, SEPT. 4.—Last night a cutler brig,
accompanied by two gun-boats, pursued fitfeen
small vess,ls liven with salt, which had gone trout
hence to Itug,tivalde, until they were near to Bo-
denhagen, a mile from .this place.. The Eng;ish
captured pile:of them, and the remainder sotOtt re-
fuge in Bodenhageiti where there was a detachment
of troops. The enctny continued to fire upon the
vessels, and they were answered tiorn the corps on
the coat, under Lieutenants Melenthin and Boltzig,
after ‘Nlitch.the Englillisetired. The gaipoon was
called. out 4tni every prtpration made, in expecta-
do!, that toe) would' return during the night.,• but
the enemy finding we w.f-re so well guarded, did nor
fit..to make any attempt. The garrist.in was
under arms the whole night. .

The Hero, Captain NEWMAN,
.having lately ar-
rived at Portsmouth froin her station in the
brogs with \her the intelligence of the following
distressing event, which lately happened to a part
of her crew :—Two boats of the.above-mentioned
ship were ordered -to cruize. against the Danish
privateers and row-boats, on the 13th of August.—
One, which was commanded by Liettt. Jenks, upset
in a violent Squall, but, by the great exertions of.
Mr.' Henry -Wittenoont, the Officer in the other,
Lieut. Jenks, and seven of his men, were saved,
and nine drowned. In this deplorable state, with
a boat too deeply laden in consequence et this in-
crease, they re.olved to attempt to save their lives
by running their boat on shore at Rostock, in which
they succeeded,. though nearly exhausted, and land-
ed in safety.. At that awful period, the. night
corning on, and the storm increasing, they were
(horrible to relate, and scarcely will it be believed
in civilized Europe !) again forced to .sea 'by the
Mecklenburgh soldiers, and abandoned to the fury
of the elements, which.their boat being unable to
contend with, was soon after struck by a wave,
,which tilled her, and she instantly went. to the bot-
tom, three only of her crew being washed on shore
by clinging to some spars, and the two Officers and
fifteen men were drowned! The surviving flee.
declare, every appeal _was made to the Officers' bu
inanity to let them stay till the gale abated, and
they offered to surrender themselves prisoners of
war—but all to no purpose, for they aaually drove
them to their fate with the point of the bayonet !
Such an act of inhurnanity, in a civilised country,
is scarcely to be credited. Captain N. upon hear-
ing this, instantly sent in a 'flag of truce, with a let-
ter to the Duke of Mecklenburgh, to demand 'jus-
tice on the heads of those unfeeling brutes, and 16
request, that it the bodies were found, they might
be decently interred.—Mr. Wintenoom , was just
entering into his 21st year, and was on the eve of
promotion, for bravely capturing, with an inferior
force, a few days before, a Danish privateer and
her prize. '

X letter from Gibraltar, dated Sept. 7, says,
have only time to add, that upwards of eleven hun-
dred French deserters have at rived is this garrison
within a month past."
The Halsted and Bocking Coach was overturned
on Friday, near the thirteenth mile stone, on the
Rumford road; The accident was occasioned by
the linch-pin of the fore wheel coming out, and the
wheel running off. The coach was fully laden in-
side and out, providentially, however, none of the
passengers sustained any injury, except what arose
from the fright,aud a few alight bruises.
