All this day it has blown a gale from the North-
ward ; most of the outward•bound have parted from•
therr collies, and gone to thy: westward. Two ships
are riding in the Downs dismasted, one of them a
transport, No. 334 or 391.

POOLE, FEB. 11.

Arrived the William, Wells, from Newfoundland
and Boston, with a cargo of fish, which was nct
landed, on account of the reduced price, '4 dollars
per quintal, being the most that could be obtained.—
This vessel left Boston cn the 13th ult. the effects of
the embargo are severely felt, and produce great
clamour.

Thursday night last, the Countes of CLARE return-
ed to her house its Saville-r.,w, about 12 o'clock, after
passing the evening with Lord and Lady Fitzgibbon,
her son and daughter ; shortly after which her Lady-
ship retired to her apartments, which are situated in
the back part of the house. About two o'clock, she
was greatly alarmed by the cracking of the roof of
the house ; shortly after a large stack of chimnies
were blown down by the high wind, which forced in.
part of the roof and the ceiling of her Ladyship's
bed-room, when near a ton of bricks, together with
the ceiling, fell in, and literally buried her Ladyship.
In this perilous situation she remained till after four
o'clock, when she was released by her domestics.—
The whole of the hack roof, together with the sky-
light ofher Ladyship's back drawing-room, are com-
pletely demolished. We are happy to state that her
Ladyship. did not sustain any material injury, and was
able yesterday to receive the visits of her private
friends.
CORONER'S livilursT.—Thursday, at three o'clock, an In-
quest was held at the Mitre and Dove, Bridge-street, Westmin-
ster, on the body of the Marquis of Tao MOND, who was killed
in Grosvenor-square, on the preceding day. William Watkins,
his Lordship's groom, ani James Cook; porter to Lord SYD'
NEY, related the circumstances of the fatal accident in nearly
the sam's manner as they were described in this aper of Tiers-
day. The cart which drove against his I.3reship's body imme-
diately after tiv.t fall, w., going at a foot pax. His Lordship's
horse walked close by it, and it being a tilted cart, the driver
was unable to see his Lordship fall. Dr. VAUGHAN and Mr.
HEAvistnr, the Surgeon, both attended the deceased. Lord
SYDNEY'S man heard the latter say, that there was no external

•
Ilkley that could have ozcasioned his Lordship's death. One of
the Jurymen here obtzrved, that the Sur& on's own evidence
ought to have been had, and moved an adjournment until the
opinion of the medical men who attended could be had, as a
guide towards the decision cf the Jury. The Coroner expressed
his willingness to do so, if the Jury should think it necessary.
The Jury then deliberated for nearly half an hour, and then
pronounced their verdiet—Did arcidattally, by a PI from hi.; berm
An inquest was held on Monday last at Stlrtmore,
upon the body of MiFs CLETTERBUCK, one of the daugh-

Among the myriads of Valentines, of the present
season, the following was thus addressed :
To the most incomparable of her sex, Lady FAU 3-r A FORTUNA,
Coopers' Hall, 13usinghalbstreet, London.
Since, at this season, 'Lis the fashion,
For lovers all to breathe soft passion,
And strive poetic wreaths to twine,
In various forms of Valentine;
To thee, my Charmer, I impart
These lines, devoid of guile and art ;
For, honest to avow the truth,
I court thee not for charms of youth;
As thou art old—oft crabbed too,
No such as do not ardent sue .
or thee for sparkling sight I prize,
Since thou art blind in both thine eyes.
Yet thou'rt the goddess I adore,—
For what ?—faith ! for thy wealthy store:
Then while I make thee all niy theme,
Oh! cause me soon to lucky dream
Of some dear Number that may rise,
Next month, a glorious Lott'ry Prize!
And how to gain, too, let me dream,
A noble House in th' City Scheme !
Then will I hail Thee, most divine!
Swift fly to wed at thy bright shrine,
And prove thy constant Valentine.
In the present Epidemic Cold, or Catarrh ; and
also in the Measles, which are at this time so preva-
lent, the genuine Dr. JAMES'S Powder, in small and
repeated doses, has been found the most safe and suc-
cessful Remedy. It should be given at the com-
mencement of these disorders, when it will relieve the
lungs, and facilitate and promote the eruption.

LAW INTELLIGENCE'!

COURT OF CHANCERY, FEB. 12.
Yesterday the disputes respecting the Opera
management were again brought before the
CELLO", and a bill filed, with a view to enforce
late award made by the Marquis of Headfort
Mr. Ogilvy, together with the un-..pirag.! of the "
of Bedforl, which was resisted by Mr. Taylor.
Mr. FONBLANQUE, Mr. HART, and MT. .k
were heard it ~,nnort of the Ipplicatinn..
(.n the part of Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY, and others
gaged .or Mr. Taylor, is postponed till next weeks
The CHANCELLOR intimated) that it was
to manes to persist in troubling him with their
putes, and tbat he could do nothing unless all '
ties were before him.

COURT OF RING'S BENCH, FIB. 12.
pia the entrance of the Court, a person of
Manly appearance, c cling himself Robert
Fetters, said, that w.thout meaning any di
to their Lordships, or to the Bar, he shoul,' b
to move for a rule to she* cause, why a crimi
formation should not be granted against Dr

Pitcairn.
The CHIEF JUSTICE interrupted Mr. Ferrers
serving, that independently of any other objectia
Court had rnadeit a rule not to grant applicat.
that nature upon the last day of the term, even on L.
motion of Counsel at the Bar ; and what was not
permitted to authorised advocates, could not be con-
ceded to Mr. Ferrers.
Mr. Ferrers then enquired if he might ask a ques-
tion of their Lordships? to which Lord ELLENBo-
ROUGH replied, that the Court did not sit to answer
questions. After another fruitless endeavour to be
heard, the Gentleman retired. •

RULE OF COURT. •
Lord ELLLEwßortoeou said, that in consequence of
the grievous abuses practised in actions of trover and ,
detinue, the Court had come to the resolution, in con-
formity with the other Trib tnials of Westminster Hall,
to permit no person to be held to special bail, in a
suit of thlt nature, excepting under an order cf the
Cotirt, or of the Chief Justice.

THE KING v. BARNF.TT.
Messrs. MARRYAT and PEASE, on behalf of the
bail of the Defendant in this cause, applied for indul-
gence. The Defendant had been found guilty of per-
jury, in an answer in Chancery, and had subsequently
absconded, and escaped to America. In consequence
of his non-appearance to receive the judgment of the
Court, his recognizance was estreated, and his bail
became liable to the extent of 10001. About six
! months since, intelligence had been obtained, that the
1 Defendant was at Boston, in New England, and in
: expectation of his return, they had not prepared them-
Iselves for the payment of the sum for which they had
become liable. Under these circumstances, and as
t!,e immediate exaction of the money would be atzen-
ded with the total ruin of the bail, they hoped the
Court would allow a short time for its discharge.
- Their Lordships observed, that as the estreats were
now deliveied into the Exchequer, the application
must be made to that Court.

THE KING v. WILLIAM DAVIS.

The Defendant was found guilty at the last Here-
ford Assizes, before the Chief Baron, of an assault
upon a person of the name of Myerhouse. The facts,
as they appeared from the report of the learned Judge,
were these :—The Defendant was tenant to the pro-
secutor of a farm in Pembrokeshire, and was indebted
for rent in the sum of 1681. Frequent applications
had been made for payment, which the Defendant
constantly postponed. When the last demand was
made, he alledged that he should not pay until a beam
which had given way in the house was repaired, and
he invited the prosecutor to accompany him home,
that he might see it. This request was complied
wish ; but when the. Defendant had got the prosecu-
tor into the room, he locked the door, and putting
the key into his pocket, pulled out a .loaded
which he presented to the prosecutor, and told him,
that if he did not sign two receipts for the money he de-
manded, he would shoot him through the head. After
some hesitation, the prosecutor was obliged to com-
ply ; and when this was finished, the Defendant pul-
led a Prayer-book out of his pocket, and peremptorily
insisted that the prosecutor should swear that he would
commence no action against him. The prosecutor
resisted, and in the scuffle he was knocked down, but
he absolutely refused to comply ; when the Defendant
said he did not care a d—n about him or his action,
and let him go,
After Counsel had been heard on both sides, Mr.
Justice GROSE pronounced the sentence of the Court,
which was, that the Defendant should be imprisoned
. in the county gaol at Haverfordwest for six months,
and give security for good behaviour, himself in 501.
. and two suteties in 251. each.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Fes. 12.
ENGLISH PRISONERS IN FRANCE.

Yesterday a motion was made by the Soucrroß
GENERAL to restrain proceedings upon several Bills
of Exchange drawn by Sir John Moulsham, a priso- .
ner in France, and accepted by his son in this country.
They were, however, ultimately dishonoured, and ac-
tions brought upon them by the Agent of a French
Banker. The grounds of the Injunction were, that the
Bills in question had been obtained by fiaid at the
gaming table, that no adequate consideration had
been &yen for them, and that they were vitiated by
forgery.
The CHIEF BARON Wis not satisfied, that, as they
might be considered the property of an alien enemy,
whether they were not the property of the Crown '--
but the injunction might go for the present, and the
case be more fully discussed.
It appeared in the above motion, that if any of the
bills drawn by the English prisoners weredishonoured,
the removal of the -party into clo.e c mfmement was
a measure •consequtnt upon such dish moor ; and that
too by order of the tirst authority.

Count. MARTIAL—Monday a Court Martial was
held at Portsmouth on Corporal Brothy, D. Dur.n,
and J. Butterworth, marines, for theescape of Capt.
Black, taken in le Courier French privateer, and two
of his officers, who were in their custody. The Cor-
poral was reprimanded, Dunn was sentenced to re-
ceive 50 lashes, and Butterworth 200 lashes. Captain
Black has since been tat e near Southampton, and
put on board one of the prison ships at Portsmouth.

Major Covell, Of-era, and Brother Soldiers, of the 76th,
or kiindoostan Regiment of Foot,
Honourable the East India Company, inspressed with a
of the meritorious and distinguished services of this rc-
t Indits, have resolved to oiler yen a new set of colours,
!hair:rata and Court of Directors of this C6mpany, have
me to present them ; this, I feel peculiar satisfaction In
,it affords me an opportunity of testiging publicly my
:spect for this brave regiment.
In presenting colours to you, Officers and Men of the 76th
tent, I need not explain the duties of a Soldier towards them,
only to exhort the young Soldiers of this Corps to follow the
xample of their comrades in arrr-s, whose brilliant achieve-
the battles of Alligurh, Delhi, Agra, Laswaree, and
re gained them immortal glory,
particularii gratifying to me, that such a regiment should
under my conur.and. In this island, victory is not to be
by prolonged operations : the encniy's shore is close to
and reinforcements are distant ; it is therefore with
brave as the Conquerors of Alligurb, Delhi, Agra, Lama-
and Dieg,ehat I may hope for immediate victory, aild with
infidence say, not a Frenchman who invades this shore shall es-
-the British bayonet."
divisions of Grenadiers, and the Ensigns op-
. to carry the new Colours, were now ordered
'ance to the place of Consecration, where the
ors were delivered by the Lieutenant-General,
the same time addressed the Ensigns, and
gimcnt, as follows :
ENSIGNS,
now deliver into yo.rr bands these Colours, on which are
.scriSed the names of the battles that have immortalized this
regiment, and, on receiving them, I am confident, Brother Sol-
' the 76th regiment, that yru will pledge yourselves, to
der them as you have done under those, whose vecerable
they are to replace."
.4 Colours, with the divi.;ivin of Grenadiers, then
tarzhecl along the front of the regiment, and were
,ived by a general salute also, under a salute of
guns from the new fortress on the Town Hill,
-h had an excellent and imposing effect.
Ensigns with the Old Colours were then di-
to advance to the centre of the Square, where
icutenant-General again addressed the regi-
as follows :
Mtjoa Cover.!.,
agcy deposit into your custody, as Commanding Officer of
,egiment, these banners, reduced ter their poles by the shot

enter fully into the present feelings of every soldier in these
, who has fought ur em. The recollection, Brother
Ts, of your heroic d ndeecAth in arms, must, at this moment,
fmcibly recur to your minds; and I feel that you join with
desiring that these precious retrains may be preserved
regiment, as memorials of the glorious successes achieved un-
them."

GtNERAL,
sktoildbe insensiblz to feeling, did 1 not eMbrace the pre-
moment to thank you most gratefully, in hehalf of the
regi
for the very distinguished manner you have this day pre-
ted the colours, voted to us by the Honourable Court of Diree-
if the East India Company. And I request your acceptance
ty r.:spectful regard and high esteem for your great attention
xis particular occasion.—Your charge to the bearers of those
lies, I am convinced, will have its due effect."
OFF:CERS AND SOLDIERS,
I have but little to offer, or to add, after what has been so
said to you by the Rev. Doctor, and his Excellency Lieutenant
teral Don. I very much regret, by the want of accommoda-
, the whole of you did not hear the discourse delivered in
:cli, so highly' honourable to the services of the regiment. I
call your attention to those remnants,about to be deposited :
i have been the companio is of the regiment for the last '2O
:era, and have been witness to many a glorious day for Britain,
the scorching sands of India they deserve, et Mind, your eau,-
ion and must always be kept in recollection ; for when yon
iew 'those this day presented to you, you will behold recorded
wise fmportant actions gained by the regiment. I again exrress
'icy regret that you ail did not hear the most excellent discourse
iivered in church coon this especial purpose.
" The addrev of his Excellency, Lieutenant General Don, so
icriptive of the conduct of the regiment, mrsz irr
deeds
sic gained the laurels. My good Fellows, it is such conduct
rem must imitate, and add to that reputation it has ever been the
,mac of the regiment to arrive at. Most of yon have recently
lined our ranks from the militia service of the country; the pa-
Agotie ardour which brought you from thence, pronounce you the
Soldiers she service requires ; it is upon your •manly courage I
place my confidence ; the experience I have hitherto had of you,
convinces me, amen more seriously employed, you will never
ihendott yuor colours. Geueral.Don has most properly declared

to yon, your active strikes may speedily be required ; you baYe
a view of the enemy's coast, and a tyrant to contend with-4ho
sworn foe of Brit:An.
" You have every thing estimable to contend fors; Wives, and
ur King,
commands, your Country demands it ; your Father,
Relations confide their protecticn to you.
" it has pleased his Majesty to place you on this happy
ctsr isla
ity,
land
and it is my duty to say to you, you must, in time of ne
consider this your native cototry ; and should the foe approach
its shores, I am well assured you will discharge your duty with
honest zeal. I conclude with the admonition given by one of the
bravest warriors of our time, the evmer to be lamented Lord. Nel-
son—. England experts every man is de his duty."
These venerable Banners were then cased, under
a salute of 17 guns from the new fortress on the
Town Hill, and amidst the manly and sympathizing
feelings of every Officer and Soldier who had glo-
riously fought under them.
The regiment then marched past the Lieutenant
General, and returned to Grouville, where a sumptu.'
ous and elegant entertainment was given by the offi-
cers of the 76th regiment to the Generals, the Duke
of BorILLON, Sir JOHN DUMARESQ, the two above-
mentioned Clergymen, Staff, Crown Officers, and
Commanding Officers of the regiment. After which
the following toasts were given, and drank with en-
thusiasm :
I. The King.—" God Save the King."
2. Queen and Royal Family.—King's German Legion March.
3. Navy and Army.—Eritons Strike Home.
4. 'the Honourable the Court of Directors of the East India
Company.—Mysore March.
.5. General Don, with thanks for the honour he has done the
corps this day.—Bugle March.
6. Lord Lake, and may his gallant exploits be ever engrafted in
oar hearts.--See the Conquering Hero.
