CORK, NOVVABER is.

His Majesty's ship Fylla, Capt. RODNEY, has ar- 1
rived in Cork harbour from Quiberon Bay, with two
sail of transports. She made that Bay with 40 sail
of transports under her convoy; having French troops
on board from Lisbon, which were landed. The re-
mainder of the fleet are on their passage. His Ma-
jesty's gun-brig Virago, Lieut. PILLMAN, and Earl
Spencer cutter, Lieut. PITTMAN, sailed on a craize
to the westward on the Sth inst. Those vessels have,
we understand, been ordered out by the Port Admi-
-1 ral, in consequence of information that a French
schooner privateer had committed some depredations
on the trade of the west-coast •of Ireland. On the
1 9th inst. the Argus sloop of war, Capt. STEWART,
arrived at Cove from the Northern Coast, where she
had been for upwards cif six months et uizing, to pro-
! sect the trade upon that part of the coast ; the vigi-
Ilance and exertions of Capt. STEWART effected the
object of his cruize fully.

Fntrs.—On Saturday morning, about nine o'clock,
a fire broke out in one of the new houses, nearly in a
finished state, in the Crescent, -Cheltenham, (which
was occasioned by the carelessness of a boy who had
left a fire burning near some shavings) ; it had at-
tained such force before effectual assistance could be
procured, that the whole building was speedily re-
duced to a mere shell ; and the adjoining houses were
only prevented sharing a similar fate, by the activity
of the workmen, and the inhabitants of the town, who
' resorted to the spot in great nombers, at the moment
of alarm.
Tuesday evening an alarming fire broke out in a
house at the bottom of the Abbey-Green, Bath,

Firemen belonging to the Bath Fire-Offices.

occasioned by a child, udder three years of age, who,
in the absence of its mother, carried a burning stick
1 into an adjoining wood-house. -

Tuesday last as a son of Mr. Cotteral, of Brocking,
ton, was at play at a neighbour's house, with other
children, in throwing leaves on the fire, the flame
caught his clothes, and burnt him so dreadfully, that
he survived only a few minutes.
