dull there, and that the late movement of VALDES had
made things much worse. A Russian frigate arrived
at Gibraltar on the 18th, in ten days from Brest, and
was still lying there when the letters left. Her destina-.
tion was kept a profound secret. The weather was
dreadfully hot at Gibraltar and the neighbourhobd ;
but owing to the excellent regulations of the Governor;

TUNCS, which arrived at Plymouth on Thursday, in
seventy-nine days from Capt Coast Castle, state that
great distte,s was felt for want of provisions, and that

DItATH FROM THE BITE OF A CaT,Tuesday, Thm.l
Horsfield, a tailor, residing at Cottage-place, Hewing-
ton, died of hydrophobia, produced by the bite of a
mad cat.' About eight weeks ago, while he was at
work in his shop, a neighbour's eat, which was suspected
to be in a rabid state, ran into his house, _followed by
two or three persons, and,although he was warned that
she was mad, he left his work and walked over to the
corner into which the animal had crouched herself, and
proceeded to rub down her back and fondle with her,
in order to convince those present that they were mis-
taken, and that poor puss was only a little out of tem-
per. He, however, had not caressed her many seconds
before she seized the fleshy part of his right hand with-
'her-teeth, The poor fellow has left a rife and three
children totally unprovided for.
