FIRE.

A dreadful fire broke out -last night. 'about
o'clock,. at Mr, Pocock's, coal-mercli,nt, ad-
joining White Friars Dock It ragedWitligr-at f.try,
and soon spread to Mr. Aker's timbers-y.4,1..4 clo‘e to
the former premises. 'Here it unhal.pny foonti
plenty cf mAterials to promote it 4 'fury. Mr. P.—
to.:k's poi:erty was entirely, destroyed, except on,!
book of acc. ounts. Mrs. Pocock was in bed whe,,-

soon ext•nded-to the granaries of Messis..fiwnii)

eon, Robinson and Co: where it was destructive to a
considerable amount. Two houses adjoining these
premises were .materiallyinjured, though not
destroyed. Nine horses belonging to Mr, PoFork
were lost in the flames:' One, a very fine
,animal,
might hive been saved, ifit •-0d nut, in spite et -Ai
efforts to' prevent him; actually rushed
,itito the
flames. No lives were lost by the fire itself, brat it.
is apprehended that nine persons,who inciluiiensly •
stood too near a pile Of timber, were driven, when it
fell, by the'efforts of ;he vast multitude ot.spectalors • .
that attended,' into White. Friars Dock, and
diately suffocatt;d. There is, hoWever, no proof at
Ece•eut that this calamity really- happened.
The. mettopolis was nearly illurninitcd
as during, the Conflagration at Drury-lane 'theatre,
and much more so on 'the other side efthoToarnes,
when; almost every ho9se could be distinctly -seen.

AGRICULTURAL REPORT for DECEMBER.

The continuance of mild weather through nearly
the wfole of last month, has brOught the ,latter
sown wheats info' flag; by which their roots
will be sheltered from the frosts, and their tillow-
ing much 'aided ,in" the spring,
The winier tares have nearly covered the ground,
and.prornise-a full crop for soiling in the spring; a
highly advantageous praaice, which is rendered still
more ,beneficial, by cutting-them about an inch long,
with acre-fourth of wheat straw, which renders them
more nutritive, ..by counteracting the redundant
moisture that often occasions too great laxity in the.
Animal•by the sudden transition from dry to greet
'food. _ •

The late.mild weather has greatly facilitated the
field operations, such is plotighing up winter-Ifallows,
laod.draining,- &c. It. has also kept the' pastures
open, and the cattle from, the farm-yard, which is
of considerable advantage in this clitpate, to it.:Lig,i,vtl
out the spring-stores, -
The young fclover, and the,earry sown rye. are a
good .plant. • The turnips are much improved, and
but few consumed -on the deep 1::ncl, cnitecitience
Of.llte.heavy rains, and the quatitity of grass in the
pastures.

Ih the absence of Spanish orticial.accounts of the
circumstances.attending he'defeat of the Patriots at
Ocana, we are happy fohaye it in 'our power to com-
municate the' contents of the following important
letter from the. South Western extremity. of Spain
‘.( CADIZ, Dec. 4:—Although the great prop and
support of Spain 'has. been- rent, it has not been
broken. Our army at, La Carolina is in a much bet:.
ter-condition than we were 'ot first led to. imagine,
and they will still be able to make a stout resistance
to the'progress of their insulting enemies. They
were little more than dispersed in the late battle at
°cane ;'-rand they lost hdt fetv of their field-artillery,
compared, With what we were taught to believe:
" This . appears by a report transmitted by the
lifaretiis b,t. La itillar-ia to. the Junta at Seville, atter
hai-ing made a diligent and accurate inqUirrinto tft
real state 'of our army of •La Mancha. The troops.
collected there are stated to amount to little less
than 45,000 and the artillery attached to them is
more than two-thirds of it in their posiession,
aniountieg to about .56 pieces of cannon. ' •
sr The cdrifusion which arose in the battle: is at..
tributed, in this instance, to the cgvalry.
'he ,s3d regiment however, I 'belleVe, is mentioned
ire terms of consioerable praise, but of the regiment
t hat most disgraced itself the officers have been ,ar.
rested, and an inediry is to be Speedikinstituted„
as treachery' is stispeded on their 'parts,- and the
guihy will be duly punished. Other commanders
live,been appointed to the regintent:
The iittnast energy and a6tivity prevails in this
city to send men to recruit our lorees 'under the
Marquis, who, it is understood-;, isle be continued in
the cornmand of the, Army of La Mancha, which
has given universal sitisladion and joy., and bas in-
.apired the nation with hope 4, which, however san-
guine they might be, they dared not before to in-,
&Age. His 'prudence, valour and military skill have
been so often-tried aei3 proved ; the army is devoted
to his service, and . would follow him to the end of
the world. . • -

"Those that have returned have,almost to a man,,
brought with them their muskets, so that they are
not in want of puns. The number of killed is
stated to be not more in the whole than 3060, and
the prisoners taken are not es►imd'ted so high.. A
great number of the army are known to have fled
in a north-eastern direction towards blake.

" The behaviour of Arezaga.is generally approved,
though people ~do not fad to perceive and to censure
bis rash advance upon the capital ; but they attri-
bute the late affair more to misfortune than to mis-
conduct. They do not talk °laity movements that
are likely to be Made at present.; hot it wilibe early
enough to think of these thing, - when-our troops
are reinstated, which must take time. On Roma-,

EXECUTION.,

Sunday se'cinight, the warrant for the execution
Mr. James Nehemiah Taylor, Surgeon of his Ma-
jesty's. ship ..kimaica, sentenced to suffer death for an
abominable crime, was .receis.ed ait Portsmouth,
I Captain Hall, of the Puissant, on, board which ship
the prisoner was confined, soon afterwards called on
the Rev. Mr. Howell, Chaplain of that ship,-and
- they
,bpth 'proceeded on board the Puissant. On
their arrival, Captain' Hall informed the officers of
_the ship, that the warrant was arrived for the exe-
cution of the prisoner, and wished therre all to be
present n hen he broke it to him. He then'sent a
message to the iprisoner, by the Provost-Marshal,
that he (Capt. Hall) wished to have an interview
with him, and that' he would come to him as soon
as he was seedy to receive hitn.—After a few mi-
nutes; a message came froui the prisoner that he was
ready to take Capt. H.'s commands. The Ceptain
immediately went down to the ward-room, attended
by the,Comniissioned Officers of the ship, the Offi-
cers of Marines, arid Mr. Howell, the Chaplain of
the Ship, Captain H,then informed him, in a very
selemn tone, that the warrant, was come down to
the Admiral's Office for his execution; and that it
was to take place on Tuesday morning. The pri-
.soner then made a bow, -and said—that the intelli-
gence was by no means nnexpeaed, that he had
made up his mind to his fate, and had only to re-
ceive it with resignation. Capt. H. then, turning to
Mr. flowed, said, " This is:Mr. l-t'owell, the Chap,-
lain of the shill; he will feel himself exireblelt happy
'if be shall be able.to alleviate your misfortune, by
administering the only consolations you can . now re-
ceive—those of religion." The Captain and Offi-
cers then withdrew, and the prisoner, turning
self to Mt. H. said, that be should feet great comfort.
in his attendance. Mr. H. then said, " Capt.' Hall,
intends to have divine service performed in the wards
room, 'and could wish, if you do not,feel any great
repugnance to it,- that you would attend. He is de-
sirous, with myseli, to make your unhappy fate as
serviceable as possible to the ship's company; at the
same time, if you feel that it evould disturb 'your
mind, or too much agitate you, he leaves it to your
own discretion?" He replied--." that he bowed'
with great submisaion to Captain H.'s wish ; but
that he had • been much indisposed ire.ltis bowels.
durieg 'the night, and was so at that moment; that
if the Captain 'would permit him to remain in the
cabin, he could join in the service, and; should feel
himself obliged by the indulgence.", Mr. H. im-
mediately waited' on the Captain, and informed Sim
of the Prisoner's wish, to which Capt. H. assented.
Divine Service was then performed, and a sernione
on the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, imme-
diately followed. The ship's company were ex-
tremely serious, and when the prayers of the congre-
gation .:weredesired for a prisoner under sentence of
. Oath, it seemed to make a strong impression- on
them. After the service was finished, the Provost
Marshal mane to inform 'Mr. Howell that thespri-
soner was deairous of ,'Seeing him'; he immediately'
went to' him, and, on his entering the cabin, 'he
said, I feel myself now, Sir, perfealy prepared to
receive any instrudion you may think proptr to. bee
stow' upon •me ; 'this world is, disappearing before
me, and another is rising to my view, which de-
. mands'all my attention."---Mr. H. replied, he was
gled to find. him in so composeda State of mind, and
that he' wcibld thank him, before he commenced 'his
important task; if he would inform him what his
present 'notions of the Supreme Being were, and
what expectations he entertained 'with respea to his
future state. He then began by saying,' " That he
believed in one Great and Supreme Being, the Cre-
ator and Governor of all things=that he considered
man a free agent, sent into this world as.a proba-
tioner fer eternity—that he looked on' the Deity as 'a
merciful Being, who would make allowance for hu-
mati:frailtye: and not be severe in punishing for the
indulgence of passions, which were implanted in our '
nature and constitution--4hat he considered moral -
honesty as the great chain by which men were bound
-together in society, and civil and religious liberty,.
their greatest blessing—that he did not look ueon
himself as a notorious sinner—that lie had hia it'ifir—
rnities like other men—that he had been an honest
man, and in -many respeas a- useful -member of so-
ciety—that he had endeavoured to diScharge his so-
cial duties te the best of his abilities—that lie had
supported ' an only sister, who was entirely depen7e
dent on him, in as comfortable a manner as his cll.-
cirmstances would admit of—and that he trusted'
God would pardon such parts of his sondua as had
been faulty, ib consideration of his having perform-
ed some v'orthy aaions—that with respet to the'
crime for which he was about to suffer, and which
.he had been repeatedly pressed to confess, he thought
he should be highly culpable, were he to acknow-
ledge himself guilty—a great many things had been
imputed to him...ghat a variety of reports' had been
eircblated, which had not the smallest formdation in
truth—and that the witnesses who appeared against
him were instigated by revenge, andbad sworn things
which were false--that be should fan a viaim to their
,analice—that his lot was cast—and that he must sub-
mit." As he seemed to make a pause in this place,Mr.
H. toldbirn before they proceeded further, he thought
it necessary to inform him that he had read the mi-
nutes of his -Court Martial with great attention, and
that he was so thoroughly :convinced of his guilt,
and so perfectly satisfied that the charge had been
fully, brought hornego him, that had it been left to
his own option to.sign au order for his death, or to
grant him a reprieve, he should not have hesitated a
single moment in determining to carry the sentence
pronounced_ on him into execution:. In speaking
these words, Mr. H. observed the:prisoner's eyes
fixed on ram
with great stedfastness, and be conti-
nued, " aware that the frankness with which I
fceHt my duty to a& towards you, may have theap-
pearance of harshness ; but I am satisfied that your
own heart, if you would but acknowledge its dictates,
is at this moment in; perfect unison with Abe senti-
ments I heve,expressed, and ifyou cannot be brought
to make a confession'of your guilt, I have to request
at least,. that all asseverations respecting your inno-
cence may besuppressed, as they can he of no service
to you ; let us :therefore leave this part of the busi-
ness for the_present, aad have. the ga does; to---lend
me Your attention, while I endeavour to lead your
mind to a subject yob seem to have bet.little;dl any
knowledge of—l mean that of Revealed .116.ligion."

Mr, H. then explaioeti to him the nature, evidences,
and benefits, of the Christian Religion, which he
hen-1-d with the most -serious attention, for nearly two
hOurs, occasionally eoakina very pertinent 'remarks.
The next morning Mr. Howell again visited hins.--e-
He found his mind more expanded, and he mani-
fested a disposition to he acquainted- with the truths
of the Christian religion. He said he felt some dit-
ficulties with resped to the doctrine of the Trinity ;
be could not comprehend h.—Mr. H. appealed to
his own understanding, as a professional man, whe-
ther it Vas surprising that he, should not ceitnpre-
bend the Deity, since we did not understand the for-
mation of cur own frame. Mr. H. then entered
into an explanati,on of the doctrine, anti he then
said he was satisfied.—Mr. FL found he had been
reading Venn's Whole Duty of Man, which the
Provost Marshal (the Master at Arms of H. M. S.
Royal William) had lent him, and which Mr. H.
recommended most strongly to his perusal, and point-
ed out the particular parts of. it most suited to hiS
case: On the afrernoon of that day, Mr. H.' again
visited him. HS found a most wonderful change in
him. His langsaage and manner evinced the strong-
est contrition and repentance. • He said, he had been
made to believe, most firmly, the truths of Christi-
anity; and noticed, that he understood the scrip-
ture phrase, Regeneration,. td mean a total change
of heart and mind ; and-if ever a total change did
take place, be said he had experienced it. The crime,
which for many years be had been guilty of, he now
abhorred; and it was more detestable in•liis sight,
than he could poSsibly. describe. it. Should he ob-
. lain a, pardon, which he did net wish, he should
never think of living any but a life of seclusion from
society, ,"'and of penitence towards God. After he
had used these expressions, add many others, -which
- sheaved the sincerity. of -his belief and repentance, he
said,. " Now Sir,, I am willing to make-a disclosure
of all my sins, for I feel I must Unburden my heart
and mind of therta.-.---I will tell you with whom, I
have freen concerned in this. hateful clime, which
have pradised so long and SUctften, and who are the
'persons that hive tended to bring me into this bane-
ful pradice. Sir, this crime is more. general -than
' you are aware of—there is a society formed for. the.
pradice of it l and, belonging to it, are some men
whom the public look up to.",—He was proceeding
to make-this painful and disgusting disclosure, when
Mr. H. desired he would not mentid any flames, as
in his present situation, it could be of no•service, and
the recollection of the circumstances might only tend
to ruffle his mind, and break off his-communication
with the Deity, *MO, above all things, be should
endeavour to preserve. He proceeded,--" In Lon•
don, in France,- and in the Mediterranean, he had
seen the ad'cotnmitted,.and it was not considered'
a crime; that having taken up the vile and baneful
opinion, that he had a right to do -with himself as
he pleased, and was tiOt accountable to God, he bad
frequently committed it; and so powerful was time
influence of the vice, veer him, that when objects
did not present thernseh'es to him, he sought them.
He now loathed himself; he saw its.detestable
na-
ture,' aid cried unto God for a pardon of all-his sins;
and he hoped and believed, that through- Christ, he .
should obtain it !" His Subservient conversation and
prayers were most pions, - scriptural,- pathetic, and-
affecting. The night before his .execution; he ask-
ed 'if he might receive 'the sacrament ? Mr. H.
could not for a moment dent it to 'him 3 for so sa.'
tisfied was Mr.
,H. of the total change' sal Leart and,
mind the prisoner had experienced, t hat:, he said to
him, " I conceive your- present' situn'tion, with all
your crinses upon your head, in your present- appar,
-rent state of Mind, preferable.. to that of the most
righteous.man in his own :estimation;; who should..
reject God's method of saving the world." When.
the prisoner requested to be shaved, it was appre-,:
hended (as he had twice done before) that he would,;
attempt to destroy himself; and When it was told ,
him, he said, " were I alone in this, cabin,.- andsit
was tilled withinstruments,of death,- I would. not
attempt to do that which the law is-about to• do for,
,me;. for why should I, feeling as I dO,. 1 hope, re-
coneiliation with. God.". When he, was about to be
removed from the Puicsant to the Jamaica (on the .
morning- of the execution). he-said to Mr.
" could the curtain of life drop: here. in this cabin, .
I should meet it with-. satisfaction and composnre,s
, resting as I do, -on the mercy of. God, through the
Saviour. But should you perceive me flurried or,
discomposed, in:my last moments, -do not attribute
it-to any thing but that awfulness, which it isitn-
nossible not to feel, from the scene, of the boats
round the ship, and the preparations made to make
an exhmple of my end." :When the boat had anis?,
ed alongside the Jamaica, he turned to Mr. H. and.
exclaimed—", This is, indeed, Sir, a most awful
moment." He continued in prayer for some time,
in the gun-room of the Jamaica, arid said twice or
thrice. ",tie was ready." , Though the hour appoints
ed for his execution (1 1 o'clock) had not arrived,
yet his wishes were complied. with. He walked to
the Place. of 'execution, praying all the time, ip
which he was joined most fervently by the Provost-
Marshal, a man of superior mind. He was so
, composed, as . to Correa the PrOvost-MarShal twice,
in reading the warrant fir his execution ; and
when, putting on the cap, it being too small, the
Provost-Marshal said- he wished it had Dome doWn
over the whole of his • face,- he said '" never
. Mr. H. now said to him, " Here,' must
leave you, my feelings will not allow me to 'remain
With you lOnger ; I will go into. the, cabin and pray
for y-ou"---sShaking Mr. H. most :atfe,dionately- by
the hand, be replied, "do, do ! God bless yssu'l",
These were the last words 'he uttered, end a few mi-
nutes before eleven he was launched into' eternity,
Ile-apparently suffered very, ,little ; in three. or' four
.minutes his struggles. were ended. ' Time last Oine . days
of this unfortunate Gentleman's life, if fully befozsss
the public, would be a', most impressiVe lesson to
many classes 'of society.. He Was a man of a gopd
education, strong natural abilities, and very ex-
tensive reading; but his principal reading,,, as he
said, was in' Voltaire, Bolingbroke, and other' in-
