EAST-INDIA SHIPPING.

The Lion man of war, which conioyed the fleet
from China to St. Helena, was left to convoy to Eng-
land the Bengal fleet, daily expected to arrive at that
island.

His Majesty's ship Liow, with tile China fleet Under
convoy, sailed from Lintin the 7th of March, made
Pulo Auro on the 18th, entered the Straits of Sinca.
pore on the 19th, joined by his Majesty's ship Blanche,
ICapt. DAWSONi anchored at Malacca oh the 22d,
weighed on the 23d, arrived at Penang 31st, sailed
from thence sth April, 6th spoke a convoy from Ben-
gal, under -hit Majesty's ship SAMAHANG bound to
Penang ; the 27thi in lat. 4. S. long. 94. the coun-
try ships CasElereagh and Resolution parted company,
bound to Bombay, and on the 17th of Jaly arrived
lat St. Helena.

Thepiesent arrivals from India do not bring any
positive information of the missing ships, of the last,
or preceding homeward-bound fleets. During their
stay at St. Helena, however, an American ship ar-
rived, the master of which reported, that three India-
men had been captured and sent into the Mauritius.
He could not recollect their names, but it is conjec-
tured by some that these ships are the Glory; Experi-
Ment, and the Lord Nelson, which were supposed to
have foundered on or about the •26th of November*
to the westward of the Straits of Sunda, Where they
were last seen by the Albion in the greatest distress.
Others suppose the captured ships to be three of the
four missing ships of the last fleet, namely:. the Bengal,
Calcutta, Duchess of Gordon, and Lady Jane Dun-
das. It is; however, generally belieted, that the last-
mentioned missing ships have pa into Madagascar,
where they will remain during the prevalence of the
periodical Westerly winds, and that, in the event of
their haVing received damage, they will return to
Bombay to le?air.

His Majesty has this day returned to the army.
The Consistory of the Jews has allotted four ducats
to each recruit of their religion who joins the army.

ries of life, are extremely dear.
The official account of the surrender of Flushing is
not yet arrived ; but all accounts concur in stating,
that the garrison obtained an honourable capitulation,
and marched out at ten in the morning of the 18th..
The city of Antwerp is declared to be in a state of
siege. Our Court Gazette contains no intelligence

OF PARIS.

" Sin—After the peace of Tilsit, the English, whose
power was lost if war ceased‘ wpon the Continent,
wished to burn Copenhagen. Now that Austria is
ready to receive peace from the Conqueror, the Eng-
lish would burn Flushing—they threaten with their
bombs Antwerp, whose dock-yards, lately so deserted,
have rapidly increased, at the ♦oice of our Emperor,
the fleets that were preparing to conquer those of
England.

"The English flatter themselves with being able
to set fire to our coasts. Of her own accord, all
France will fly to their defence ; but we must regu-
late this noble impulse, in order to render it useful.
What is the force of Napoleon's Army of Re-
serve ?—ask the Ministers of the Cabinet of St.
James's. We can now reply to them. The army
covers in its rapid march the roads from Paris to
Antwerp—let them send their Agents to count it.—
Lit them know that not a soldier from the armies of
Napoleon will quit his standards to come and defend

the territory of his Empire...Mb* Frenchman would
not take ug arms when the soil of France is touched
by the enemy ? Are not the French armies national
guards, and the national guards armies ?
se The audacity of the English only prepares a new
trophy for the trophies that are to decorate the feast
of peace.
4, Sir, you take a particular interest itt the glory of
this capital, after our enemies have accused it of
having energy only in tumults. Let it at once con-
found the calumnies of its enemies, and their incen-
diary hopes. On the East and on the West, France
is victorious 200 leagues from her frontiers—she will
also triumph in the interior, in order that no kind of
glory may be wanting."
Atm. 22.—We are assured that the Emperor of
Austria has consented to the cession of a great pro-
vince of his monarchy, which he had hitherto refused
to do. This induces a belief that the peace will not
meet with any more obstacles or delay.
Six Englishmen were taken up on the night of the
15th, near Fecamp; they were ordered to inspect the
coast and disseminate libels.
STRASBURGH, AUGUST is.

The last troops from the Upper Rhine, part of

gons. Several of the new provisional battalions,
formed out of conscripts, are proceedirig to the same
destination.

destructive bahlt of youth, long residence in a hot climate, or the
enervating indulgence of mature age. The result of several years
experience has enabled him, by a superior and peculiar method, to
speedily remove the above diseases, however inveterate or compli-
cated, and in recent cases of venereal infection, to complete a per-
fect cure in a few days. The uniform success attending his mod(

THE Altt4Y.

The Barracks in Bt. George's Place, eafiterhttry,
lately occupied by the Horse Artillery, and which
were in part taken down, are to be immediately re-
built, being re-engaged for the reception of 800 of the
sick soldiers expected from Walcheren.
By recent accounts from the Island of Curagoat
we learn that' the Officers and Non-commissioned
Officers of the 2d battalion of the 18th or Royal Re.
giment of Ireland were on the eve of embarkation for
Europe, after having drafted their men into the first
battalion, at present in Jamaica their arrival may
therefore be expected in a few weeks. The 2d batta-
lion will, on its return, be reformed by the detach-
ment now quartered at Gloucester, under the com-
mand of Captain Goaazouza, consisting of 450 of
the choicest men.

The Officers of the Ist Battalion, now at home, are
ordered to proceed forthwith to join their regiment in
Jamaica.

It will be seen, from our Yarmouth letter, that the
British troops at Walcheren had all embarked on Sa-
turday, with the exception of two or three hundred
men left as centinels, and these were also ready to
embark. We may hourly expect the arrival of the
whole, therefore, in this country.

About 700 horses to remount the 14th and 16th
Light Dragoons, and the German Light Dragoons
in Portugal, will march into Portsmouth to embark
in the course of the week.

Dr. FERGVSSON, Inspector of Hospitals, is appointed
Chief Inspector of the Portuguese Army Hospitals.
From his great skill and knowledge of the service,
the greatest good is likely to accrue to the service of
the Portuguese army.

MAOMOMIK) •. COXCON.

This was an action brought by the owners of the
brig the Young Regulus, Newcastle trader, of North
Shields, against the owners of the Leo, West India-
man, to recover the amount of damages sustained by
the former vessel, by reason of the negligence of the
defendant's crew, amounting to £7O.
On the part of the plaintiff it appeared, by the evi-
dence of M'Ardil, his Captain, that, in the month of
October, 1808, lie had brought the Young Regulus
to anchor off Blackwell, when the Leo passed, and
cast anchor just above her, in such a situation as to
give the Young Regulus a foul birth (not room to
swing round with the tide). That the Leo then
broke her sheer (swung round) in consequence of which
her stem board bow came in contact with the Young
Regulus's larboard bow, broke the bowsprit, carried
away the gib-boom, displaced the cat-head, and com-
mitted other considerable damage.
On the part of the defendants, five winesses were
called, who all appeared to be watermen, unconnec-
ted with the parties, and merely hired to work the
Leo up the River, and to her birth in the docks.
From their testimony k appeared, that all the fault
lay with the plaintiff's vessel and crew ; that the Leo
had been properly anchored, waiting to go into the
Docks, previous to the accident ; that the Young Re-
gulus had anchored in an improper place, with too
much cable, by which means, and keeping her helm
aport, she it was who broke her sheer, and drove twice
:against the Leo, notwithstanding their hailing the
crew to mind her helm.

Lord ELLEMBOROUGII left it to the Jury to decide
the question upon such evidence, observing, that in
a case of such conflicting testimony he expected more
evidence on the part of the plaintiff than the mere
i/zse dixit of the Captain, when it might have been in
his power to have called so many of his crew to speak
to the fact.

The Jury, after some deliberation, found a verdict
for the defendant.

Mr. PA RKE, for the plaintiff, then informed his
Lordship, that the mate was dead, and the rest of the
crew, being only hired for the voyage, he understood
were gone abroad.

COURT OF COMMON FLEAS, DEC. 16.

An. action was brought by .1 Mr. Marshall, to re-
cover from a Mr. Smith the sum of £4,9, being the
loss sustained by the re-sale of £912 worth of timber
by auction: The defendant, it appeared, had given
a bill on a respectable person for the latter sum,
which the plaintiff disliking refused to accept, and
the timber not being removed, was re-sold, hen the
above deficiency took place. Sir JAMES MANSFIELD
held, that a man had a right to refuse any bill, with-
( sta hg the ground of his objection ; and the Jury,
under his Lordship's direction, found for the plaintiff.

In the Court of King's Bench, Dublin, on Saturday
Beanie:it, agaction was brought by Mr Spas, Paten.
tee of the Theatre Royal, against Mr. CORNETT, Pro-
prietor of The Hibernian Telegraftk, for a libel that ap-
peared In that paper. The trial lasted the whole of
the day. Several witnesses were examined. The
Jury retired for about three minutes, and returned a
verdict for the plaintiff—amines $4O.

BATA, DECEMBER R.

Mr. METRALCOURT'S Annual Ball for his Pupils,
ou.Friday 1 ist, at the Upper Rooms, gave to the
amateurs of the polite art of Dancing, a gratifying
treat, by exhibitins_a lively and interesting compe-
tition among Mr.
METRALCOURT'S Pupils of various
seminaries of fashionable education in Bath and its
vicinity. The exertions of Mr. METRALCOURT (who
max now decidedly be declared to have arrived at the
very sum, of his art) to produte an excellence and
improvement in his scholars, hitherto unequalled, is
far beyond all praise ; and the applause bestowed by
an elegant assembly. comprising upwards of one
thousand ladies and gentlemen, of the first fashion
and respectability, is a testimonial which must be
abundantly grateful to his feelings, and. a proud tri-
umph that his labours have been crowned with suc-
cess. This Ball was principally g;ven to introduce
the Young Ladies belonging to Mrs. FOURNIER'S
School, of the Upper Crescent, whose rapid improve-
ment in dancing, since Mr.- METRALCOURT'S short
attendance there, exceeds all praise, claimed the ad-
miration of every spectator.
To discriminate might be considered invidious, and
to amplify would far exceed the boundaries of eulo-
gium. Miss WHITE, (niece of Mrs. MACAO Miss
WHEELER, Miss HAWKER, and Miss METRALCOURT,
were among those who shone with superior splendour.
The two youngest Misses FouliNiuts also claimed
general admiration.
An allemand, danced by three Young Ladies,
highly delighted the audience, as also did the Shawl
Dance, by Miss METRALCOIJRT, whose elegance of
person and graceful movements did her the highest
honour.

The Ball concluded with the " Minuet de la Cour,"
danced in a superior style, by Mr. and Miss METRAL•
COURT ; this was a finished performance ; the genius
and science of the father, were if possihle, exceeded
by the graceful and. charming movements of the
daughter, combining a skill and elegance which ex-
cited universal admiration.

On the night of the 11th ult. the Hero, Strachan master, be-
longing to Dundee, while on her voyage from London to Seville,
under convoy of the Frederickstein sloop of war, parted company
when off Cape Finisterre. Two Portuguese seamen (who with
the captain, mate, and two boys, formed the ship's company),
rose during the night of the 12th, attacked the mate at the helm,
and knocked his brains out with a band-spike. They then des-
cended to the cabin, where the Captain was asleep, and giving
him repeated stabs left him for dead. Hoisting out the small
boat, they filled her with clothes, compasses, quadrants, watches,
&c. and previous to leaving the ship, bored a hole in her bottom,
and proceeded to knock out the ports, at that moment, the Cap-
tai::, who had scrambled up the rigging to the main-top, pretended
to hail a ship. The night was remarkably dark, and the ruffians
alarmed, jumped into the boat, and made off with their booty.
The Captain then tame down, and we are happy to learn, had
been able to carry the Hero within a day's sail of her pott, and
the wind was fair when he wrote. He was then getting better
of his wounds, which were principally in the thigh; but his left
hand is so much cut with a knife, that it is feared be will Dever
recover the use of it.

LAPPINGWrtt, lying a wreck under the wails of Flushing; crew
saved—and he also states, that he believes the transports on shore
did not exceed twelve sail, all the crews except one were saved,
that the troops were all embarked, with the exception of2oo, and
that as soon as the wind proved favourable, they would be em-
barked, which might be done in two hours. The French were
lying in South Beveland, ready to take possession of the Island.

THE COURT of DIRECTORS of Me UNITED

to the EAST INDIES, do hereby give nctice,
1 hat a Quarterly General Court of the. said Company will he
held at their House in Leadenhall-street, on Wednesday the 20th

TO THE PROPRIFIORS OF EAST 1ND4,4. STOCK.
LADIES AND GEN7LESICN,
AVacancy having occurred in the East India
Direction, I re'pectfully solicit the favour of your Votes
and Interest, that I may be appointed to the honour of Min it.
When I first declared my intention of offering myself to your
notice, as a Candidate for the Direction, my hopes were founded,
solely, ul m the experience which you have had of my conduct,
as a Proprietor. I should not, however, do justice to the un-
commonly kind and flattering reception which I have met with,
if I did not, now, feel confident that, by a sontimration of such
kindness, I shall be placed in the honourable situation to which I
aspire.
I am still impressed with the importance of that situation, even
in common times. But at this time, with our Charter nearly ex-
piring, the Trust is of much more than usual magnitude. If the
part, which I have publicly taken in the Court of Proprietors,
should induce to believe, that I am qualified to discharge the pe-
culiarly important duties of a Director, I request the honour of
your support.
I cannot conclude this Address without expressing my sincere
concern at the loss which we have all sustained, by the death of Sir
William Bensley. I have long known and valued him ; and, upon
many occasions, I have experienced his friendly disposition to-
wards me. lf, by your favour, I shall be appointed to fill the
vacancy which his death has occasioned, I shall bear in mind and
endeavour to imitate his many excellent qualities, and, particu-
larly, his inflexible integrity.
I am, Ladies and Gentlemen, with much respect,
Your most obedient, and very humble Servant,
Strand, Dec 19, 1801. RICHARD TWINING.
The Friends of Mr. Twining are particularly requested to
meet at the King's Head, in the Poultry, on Wednesday the 20th

PETERSBURGH, NOV. 4.

Our Court Ga7ette contains a long account
of the operations of our army under the orders of
Prince Bagration, General of infantry, by which it
appears that on the 4th of last month our troops at-
tacked the Turks near Rassavat, carried the place,
and completely defeated the enemy, who lost 5000
men in killed, wounded and prisoners, 13 stand of co-
lours, and 14 pieces of ordnance; the loss on our side
is very inconsiderable.
On the :id of October the Commander-in-Chief
put himself in motion with the corps of Platow and
Milorsdowitch against the fortresses of Silistria and
Mangata, which were both evacuated by the enemy
at the approach of our troops. The reduction of the
latter fortress is the more important, as Constanti-
nople is supplied from thence with salt and several
other necessaries of life.
On the 13th of the same month General Platow
attacked and routed a Turkish corps between Rats-
chutz and bilisti ia. The Turks lost about 10,000
men in killed and wounded, and numerous prisoners
were made, among whom was Pacha Mahmoud.
NOVEMBER 11.—According to accounts arrived
here, the army of Moldavia has defeated that of the
Grand Vizier. It is said, that 16 pieces of artillery,
and 12 standards have been taken.

SMITHFIELD CLUB Cifl7'LE SHOW.

Yesterday Mr. SADLER'S yard, in Goswell-street,
was much crowded by agriculturists and breeder..
Four Herefordshire oxen, belonging to Mr. WESICAR,
seemed to attract a considerable share of the attention
of the amateurs. Mr. JAMES BENNET shewed a
turnip and clover drill, on a simple and ingenious
construction.

field Club began to repair to the Freemason's Tavern,
and at three the Duke of &omit:3 took the Chair.

the next (Christmas, 1811), the Heref.rd, Sussex,
and Devon oxen, shall be shewn in pairs, or yokes of
two oxen each, to be of equal age, and of one man's
breed • and that the premiums shall be equally divi.
ded between the breeder and the grazier of such oxen.

About five o'clock near 200 of the Members of the
Club and their friends sat down to an excellent dinner

Chair.
