EXTRACT PROM MI OPTICIR ON BOARD HIS 1111.11 S.
TT'S SHIP WOLYERIIII, OPT HAVIII, UVO. 10.
Yefterday arrived here the &Annan, Captain
FOOTS, and ST. Fioasizo, Captain Pavysasos,
(frigates), from Portfmonth. is day the Wm:
MIN I, Captain WIGHT, arrived from Cherburg.
She brings an account of feventeen fail of gnn.vef-
fels, and one large bomb-..IAL being at fingle
anchor in Cherbourg Roads. Likewifelhat Cap.
tain DONNELLY of the Mains...one frigate, and
commanding nicer off that port, had received in.
telligeoce by a cutter from Marco% difpotchod

purpofely by Captain Pates, commanding there
Iflands, of a convoy of ten or twelve fail of veffels
being at an anchor at La Hogue.—Sir EDWARD
HAMILTON, of the TRENT, has failed, we under-
fland, for St. Maloes, to fupply the vacancy oc-
calioned by that fine but unfortunate frigate JA-
SON, lately wrecked off there.—Lord NELSON, I
believe, is daily expefted here. A peep was taken
into Havre yefterday : we flood quite dole in.—
The frigates are all ready for tea, and have a frefh
breeze at E. N. E. if they choofe to embrace it;
but as yet it is with them.
AUGUST t.—The Swirr cutter, Lieutenant
RICHARDS, has arrived here from England. The
veffels we have had the pleafure of lately detaining
promife loon to be condemned. Several veffels
annexed to the convoy, which were a few days ago
lying at an anchor off La Hogue, were run afhore
by a gun-brig detached from this fquadron. Not-
withftanding the efforts to deftroy them, yet fome,
after being much damaged by being aground,made
their efcape. They went from Caen river very
clandeflinely, dole on fhore and fingly. The gun-
veffel that oppofed them has received fome da-
mage, although not, we underftand, to any con-
fiderable extent. A few fifhing-boats, thinly man-
ned, have re-appeared off this place to-day. Eight
or ten boats, if not more, refembling flat-bottom-I
ed ones at a diftance, were obferved today on the
beach, covered by their own batteries, and to the
eaftward of the Havre light-houfes. They appear-
ed to have a vaft number of men in each, who
were armed with muficets. The WOLVERENE was
upon her Ration clofe in fhore, and it was conjec-
tured an attack might be intended upon her, as a
brig, &c. was coming out of the baron. The brig
has, however, hoifted Pruftian colours, and has
been fince overhauled by the SEAHORSE, and we
fufpelt will be detained. -
AUGUST 12, AT TWO P. M.—Since writing the
above we have flood clofe into Havre. The new
battery, which is erecting between the old one, un-
der the light-houfe and the town, is apparently
very nearly completed. I cannot tell diftinaly the
number of flat-bottomed boats.—The SEAHORSE
has failed for Portfmouth with a Pruffian brig in
tow, and there is juft now another coming out of
the Pier. The SEAHORSE has fince arrived.

The mind receives the moll complete enjoyment
on beholding the Eclip. or Harkquin in Cb:na, at
the Royal Circus, St. George's Fields, fuck is
the correct reprefentation of the manners, peculi.
arities, ftratures, &c. of the val.' Empire of China:
this is accompanied by Mufic compofed in the find}
by Mr. W. WARE, and incomparable dancing
by the Mifs ADAMS'S, DENNY'S, MTS. lit LM E, &c.
The Fire King, or Albert and Rofalie, which follows
this fplendid piece, thares amply in the laud and
univerfal applaufe of the evening.

Tuefday morning a widow woman, keeping the
Queen's Head public houfe at Hornchurch in Ef
fex, was (hot dead by a foldier of the name of Pa-
trick Johnfon, who was quartered upon her. The
houfe being (hut up later than nfual, the (Ireet door
was forced open, when (he was found breathing
her laft, and all medical relief proved ineffedual
for her recovery. Johnfon difappearing, fufpicion
was attached to him. A number of people went
in pitrfuit of him on the various roads leading to
London. He was traced as far as the (lie of
Dogs, difguifed as a countryman feeking for work,
but there loft fight of. His object in the murder
was plunder.
On Wednefday laft, a very refpedable perfcn in
appearance went to a bookfeller's fhop in Man-
chefler, and delivered a note, as from a Clergyman
who frequented the !hop, requefiing the loan of
five guineas. Some hefitation followed, as the re-
quell was new, but the confidence of the (harper
prevailed, and the money was fent. On enquiry
the next day, the whole bufinefs was found to be
a forgery and fraud.

Lal Saturday night the counting houfe of Mr.
Maze, in Ir In Wharf, Dowgate, Upper Thames-
lireet, was broke open by fome thieves, when ca(h
and notes to the amount of upwards of 2001. were
fuppofed to be done by fome perfons belong-
ing to the water. A fufpefted perrm was yeller-
-day examined before the LORD Mavoa, and com-
mitted for further examination.

Yefterday a Mealmaa was brought before the
LOAD Maros., at the Manfion Houk, charged by
two Bakers with having fold each of them ten
lacks of damaged flour. One of them, whole name
is Wright, Hated, that he had refuted to change it.
On the mealman being queflioned as to this charge,
he replied, " that he was always ready to change
it, but, in the interim, wheat having fallen eenfi-
derably in the market, the baker infifted that he
fhould make an allowance of sp. per lack, which
he certainly did not choofe to do." His Lordfhip
laid, the complainants could defire no more than
to have good flour in lieu of the damaged, and
salted if the bakers were willing to take it ? which
they at length contenting to do, the complaint
was difmiled.

ASSAULT.--A woman of the name of Jones
charged her hulband with affaulting her. This
woman (fated, that the is ip fervice, and has been
feparated from him about ten years : that, about
fix weeks fence, he found out where the lived, and
came to her mafter's houfe, and began to make a
great difturbance. She Paid, the did not with to
trouble him for any thing, and therefore he had
no right to moleft her. His Lordthip told him,
that he mug find fureties to keep the peace, and
Paid, he might be thankful he was not obliged to
maintain her. The neceirary fureties were entered
into, and he was cfifcharged.

A great number of Publicans were fumenoned,
for keeping open their houfes, during Divine Ser-
vice, on Sunday. One of them was fined five fhil-
lings, it being proved that a perfon was found tip.
pifirt in his houfe. In the houfe of another, which
is kept by a female, three perfons were foundfiaosi-
iag. His Lordfhip obferved, that a per was any
grails I but requelled that, for the future, the
would inform tbefe Gentlemen, they mutt ley:ima
their pies during fervice time, or he mull be under
the neeetEty of fnmasiir her. the Den time fits *p-
i peered on a like easo&,iat.
