8 kil BAUM, JULY I.
The enemy has commenced hi. predatory fyffem
open oar mailer Matta to leeward, and in the true
bitecanicring (pith ••f Meflieffy and Le Grange, we
find Guillomats and Jerrme have, with their f7irmid-
, able fquadron of fix of the Emperor's remaining belt
!hips, attacked the defencelefs ifland of Montterrat !
This morning we received accounts sof their arrival
at Montferrat on Wednefday Lai ; at four that after-
noon the !fluid was fummnned, and there being no
• alternative, it was immediately furrendered to an
Officer and a few men fent by the French Admiral
to oak! poffeffi •0 of this newly-acqiiired Colony to
Bonaparte; which, although its .fplendid conqueft
may mile the fame of the young Prince, cannot add
an iota ro the commerce of the great Emperor.
We received this account by way of Antigua, the
(dimmer Birchall, from thence, having arrived this
morning. She left St. John's on Friday laft ; the
might previous to which, a fmall floop leached that
harbour, having efeeped, on Wednefday night, from
Montferrat, while the enemy remained there.
From the fectet departure of this veffel, In imme
diately after Guollomais' arrival at Montferrat, no
certain intimation of his views could be obtained ;
but it is a natural conjettute, that he can only intend
to impoveril.. and diltrefs the country by heavy con-
tributions ; it being alto imagined that his further
projcas ate &retied again, St. Kitt's, for the fame
purple.
There hat not been any account of Admiral Coch•
cane fence lie failed from hence.
S r. JOHN's, AN I'IGUA, JULY 3
We learn from Barbadoes that General Miranda
has left that ifland, in profetution of his enterprize,
having receivedb t
every, affitiance that could be dmi d
d him
Jute mi.—The lateß accounts that have been re-
ceived regretting the French fqintdron, reprefent it
as having left Sr. Martin's on Saturday, and fleeting
to the Well, moR probably for Tortola, to look of er
the fleet al embling there. As the trade from this
ifland left St. Kitt's In early as Tltutfday morning,
fleeting direttly Weft, it is to be hoped they have
efeaped the enemy, and gone to Jamaica to join the
fleet from that ifland for Europe.
BASSETFR RF. (ST. RIM). JULY 4.
On Tuefday tall Mr. Clement Caine, gave notice
in the Houle of A nimbi', that it was his intention to
tilt/bit charges against the Huth William Wondley,
Efq. Fiefident and Chief juffice of the ifland, of a
grcifs and fcandainus nature. Mr. Wondley, in con-
fequence. wrote a letter to the Speaker of the Affem-
bly, requiting the Heufe to invelligate the charges
without delay. The A ffembly complied• with the
Prrfident't regneft, and he was allotted a feat in the
Afiembly Room, to refute the charges, in which he
completely fucceeded, as they were declared void of
foundation by a large majority.

fetterclay morning his Majetty's brig Hawke, Cap-

with the additional intelligence, Oat between eight

taken on board Mr. DA Semper as an hoflage for

fired at Nevis. At noon bit Majefty's fehooner
Grounder called in here, with a fignal flying for an
enemy in fight ; and. (bendy after, they were plainly
difecanned kering their courfe towards the hill, under
the cover of which the few remaining veffels had
taken proteaion. &fides the number snentinned, it
was feen the enemy had feveral vefTels in tow, wt

'Ails from Nevi* having made their efcape in due
time, they found no booty there. When they git
nett to TWmftfine Hill, a tire was opened on them
from the garrifn, but it is uncertain with what et-

H47:II4AKET 7'4E47 RI.

TAc Clateckflicie 3farriage awaited on Wednefday
night a very numerous and brilliant auditory. The
part of Lord OVA, was surnounced to be reprefented,
for the/if time, by Mr. FAWCETT, and, among the
Amateurs of the Drama, various opinions were
hazarded upon the debut of this popular Comedian in
genteel Cornsely. It is fuffieiently eftablilhed that yr
tbe Pr FAWCETT is the, complete Gentleman; but
Jtutus may wife whetfei a long acquaintance with
the bluntnefsnf Job Tboraberty, the pedantry of Panglot,
and the eccentricities r 4 the medical 011apnJ, do rot ha.
banally vulvae the air and cyltaire which lhould ditlin-
guiffi a man living in the fire circles of the Bon Ton
Lord Ogled, is drawn with a mind enlarged by educa-
tion avid talhionable acquirement a, and enobled by dig.
nity, feeling, and honour. The only tirade is an affec-
tation ofjuvenility ; but though we laugh at the 6-lies
of the antiquated gallant,we lisllrelpal the li.eral len-
timents and elevated ideas of the polillied Nobleman.
The attempt of this night wasconfequently rattier bold,
particularly as there was fears. els. a fpetlator of the
mimic fcene but remembered a ithe figh the excellence
of iss.or Tose KING! who, is this peculiar char:titer,
may be 'ply evalledi, but cannot be forpaffed. Such
were the difficulties which Mr. FAWCETT had to en-
counter, and the impartial refult is, that this favourite
Performer has not increafed his fame by the arduous
enterprize of Wednefday evening. As well might
the Syten BILLINGTOA attempt to pourtray the ant-
bitious Lady Macktb, the inimitable &norms warble
the airs of Polly Peackon, or even the dignified Jona
KewaLe rival the PAR tiny., as FawcErr delineate
hied Ogfidy! He is 'Wird& difqualified ; fur though
in voice. the whiffling treble of age may be fumed.-
fully imitated, no art in corporeal slit-guile can effec-
tually fulsaitute natural vigour for alfumed decrepi-
tude. In leveret inflances Mr. Fawc try elicited his
acetillomed fpirit ; and though truth compels us to
condemn the aggregate, yet candour call. upon us to
praife a part. In the fcene where the eggivorse is
carried on with 1 curd, Fawcary was particularly
happy : and at the denouement was 'nuttily and de-
fervedly applauded for his energetic delivery of the
following fentiment in allufion to Miji Fanny Sterling:
" I have twpsed to fopport her Ratlines with my fortune and
my life. Nls a debt of honour, and melt be paid."
The Casten of Wswirz ea was a high treat, and
truly pourtrayed the artful flattery of the fervile
Swifs—Gßovv, in the Citizen, was neither (Nereid
nor ifertarg—R•s• is Lowly gave a flriking like-
nefs of the Mercantile Ckri, but wanted the feeling
of the enraptured and fucceisful Lover—Young
PA LMIR, in Sir joke Mekilks looked more hke apoor
Knight than a gay Baronet —Daeasir played &RA I
with cafe, (pit it, and humour. Previoully to the draw.
ing up of the curtain, an apology was made for the
abfence of Mrs. GLovia : her lubitstute in .41rfi Ster-
ling was Mrs. TAYLOR, who proved herfelf in poffef
!ion of very meritorious talents. Mrs. MAT 14 rw. was
extremely inreretling as the amiable Fanny—Mrs.
Pm.I.EIA, performed Mrs. Heidelberg with contiderahle
efrefl, though with, pet haps, too near a tendency to
honleruus vulgarity—Mrs. Gases, in Bey, was
lively and amain ; and Mils GAWDET was very
fuccel.ful in pnurtraying the appiehenlive vartue
,he Chambermaid, when expofed to the amorous at-
tack of the dromkeuValet. It will hardly he believed,
that when Lord Ogleby (before break fait) was in his
morning gown, Mr.:holm (petted !,is (ilk fleet:4lgs
and powdered wig, and Sir
.7.148 Mtlvillt and Mr Lo.

An Irifhtinan who dined at the Lice lie, Waiver..

Sunday fermight, about nine o'clock, as Jot. Crofts,
beadle of Chtfter, was conveying an apprentice who
had run away from his metier, to the New-houfe, he
was puflati down the (kin leading to the fame, either
by the apprentice he was taking, or a lad his com-
panion, by which means his (troll was fo dreadfully
fratiured, that he died in the Infirmary on Wednef-
day bight.—The delinquents made their efeape.
A ;scram, who appears to anfwer the deferiptirn
given of DANIEL], has been apprehended in the !Ile
of Man. His apprehenfion is raid to have arifen from
the following circundlance : One of the Bank notes
for 2001. which he received for the tale of the Om.
nium, was numbered 1896, but by a miftake in the
advertifement it was (hated to be 1869. This rrite
the perfon in quenion tendered in the Ifle of Man,
and Come fufpicion being excited on the occafion, he
wes taken into cuftody. Perfons have left London
in order to identify him.
The murder of Mrs. Anna-'Maria Ponley, for the
ditcovery of the perpetrators of which a reward of
tool. has been offered in the London Gazdtx, and a
pardon to any accomplice, teems to be involved in
as touch myftery as that of the unfortunate young
woman in Higgler's-lane. It appears that Mrs.
Pocky had apartments in Crofs-flreet, Horfely down,
Southwark, where (he was accutinmed to live alone,
and was feldom known to hive any pmfon call on
her. Sbe fubfitted by money paid her regularly
every quarter.; and it is known that (be always had
from twenty to thirty pounds in the houfe. The lath
of Annuli was the halt day this lady was Peen by any
petfon out of the houfe ; and when the milk-woman
and other daily tradefpeople called, as was ufual, thty
found the dour of the apartment (aliened ; and, fop.
poling that the was gone into the elliuMena- made no
farther enquiry. On the aoth or, thaput it, appears
the neighbourhood was anaoyett- lx,limul trod!,
4
which gave cattle to an alarm that b *Wady had
died,
unknown to any perfon. The door of her
apartment was inilantly broke open, when flue was
dig-covered in the mob emaciated condition, lying on
her bed, with her head almoft fevered from her
body. No knife was found near her perfon, which
,
is the molt convincing proof that the could not have
committed the deed herfelf ; betides, her money,
which we have before raid to be from twenty to
thirty pound% and known to be in the boat, was
taken away. At prefent, not the lean fufpicion has
fallen on any one. Mr. &meow, the Coroner, and
a Jury, have returned their verdict—lffiya/ Murder.
