DUBLIN, JANUARY 22.
Excbange—Dublin oh London, 9 to.

We have received one of the fmaller French Jour-
nals of the date of January 18 ; it contains Come fpe-
culations refpeaing Peace, which appear to have been
inferted by permiffion of the Government.—The
report of the capture of Port Mahon, in Minorca, by
Lord NELsom, is repeated, and Come mention is alfo
made of the failing of the Toulon fleet on an expedi-
tion, but we believe on very slender authority.—The
invafion of England, a fubjea which has not been
touched upon for tome time, it is now determined,
(hall be attempted early in the Spring !
We have alfo received Dutch Papers to the 22d
infant, the contents of which will be found in the
preceding columns.

Government, it is Paid, has received Come very im.
prtant information from Holland, relative to the
prefent political Rate of that country, which encou-
rages a hope that any attempt of France to impofe
a new Chief Magiftrate on the Batavians, will be the
figoal of revolt. Couriers pats and repafs between
the Hague and Paris daily.

Accounts from Dover (late, that a very heavy
cannonading was heard there during the greater pact
of Tuefday. As the wind blew very ffrong from
the South Eaft, it is fuppofed that the firing pro-
ceeded from our fquadron off Boulogne, that may
may have fallen in with tome of the enemy's veffels,
coming from the Eaftward, driven by the gale from
the French coaft. This fuppofition has been partly
confirmed, as one of oar gun-brigs paired Dover on
Tuefday evening, about four o'clock, for the Downs,
having in company one of the enemy's guriluggers,
with the lots of her foremaft. The firing had not
ceafed at fix o'clock on Tuefday night.

We are concerned to (late, that her MAJESTY was
taken ill on Tuefday night, after her return from the
Play, at Covent Garden Theatre. ' Het MAJESTY'S
complaint, we underliand, is an attack of the rheu-
matifm, brought on by the prefent damp and cold
weather. Notice of this event was communicated
at an early hour to the LORD CHAMBERLAIN ; accom-
panied with an expreffion of apprehenfions, that her
&history would not be able to attend the Drawing
Room, announced in the Gazette for this day at St.
James's. His Lordfhip accordingly fent off notices
to the Foreign Minitters, and the principal Nobility
and Gentry that are underliood to eonflitute the
Court circle, apprifing them of her MAILSTY'S
indif-
poGtion, and that the drawing-room was neceffarily
poftponed until fome future day.—The PRINCE of
Weals paid a vifit to his Royal Mother, at the

until five, when he returned to Carleton Houfe.

A letter from a Gentleman at the Grand Caicos.
dated October 17, to his Correfpondent in Nagai!,
Pays—" We are much infefted by French privateer;
which come near our plantations, though they have
not had the audacity to land. I had a very narrow'
efcape of being taken by a three maned felucca.
which chaced me a confide-able time among the
flt.ials on the Caicos Bank. She has lat,:ly takm a
fmall fchonner out of Weil Harbour. If we had c
fmall armed veiiel well manned, Elide piccaroons
might eafily be rooted out."

Another letter from the rune pace coutains the
following article—" My prcp:rty the Blue Hills
is in a very hazardous fituation—two piccaroons, a
felucca, and a fchooaer, came to anchor at the Five
Keys, about two miles distant from my plantation ;
I fufpeEted they were reconnoitering, and I fear they
will make a landing. which they may eaCly do, z..s
I have no fire-arms to oppofe them."

M. a moll dreadful fire broke out in Mr. Fenton';
ropery, without the Scotch gate, Berwick .upon-

taMed, but from the quantity of hemp, &c. uhieh is
contained, for upwards of half an hour it blazed
with uncommon tury, and had the wind been "malt
or fouth ealt, inaead of eagerly, nothing could have
preferved feveral Rack yards in its neighbourhood,
and probably the whole of Cattle Gate, from dame-
lion. The building has been reduced to a mere (hell.

A curious trial came on at the late Yorkfhire (Eaft
Riding) Seflions, refpeiling the fettlement of Ann
Deadlcy. It appeared that fhe was removed to her
maiden fettlement,that of her h ufband notbeingknown.
The appellants proved that fhe was married at St. M-
ary's, Beverley, to Jon Dearfley, a private in the Lan-
cafhire Militia ; the hufband could not be found ; the
wife (wore fhe believed he was born at Blackburn.
in Lancafbire; and was fon of a joiner there ; (he
had been in that neighbourhood with her hulhand's
father and family, and was received and acknow-
ledged by them in the charafter of their relation.—
Dearfley, the father, then was called : he Lid the wo-
man was his daughter-in•law ; he had no doubt of it
whatever, though he had never feen her and his f,
together; he believed his fon to have been married t,
her at Beverley, when the Lane:Aire Militia was qua:-
tered there; his fon, he "'Aid, was about 26. She decla! -
ed that to be her hufband's age. This feemed fully tr•
eftablifh the identity of Dearfley, the fon of the witnds,
and Dearfley, the hufb4nd of the. pauper. However,
the Court delired the two witneffes might be examined
feparately. The woman, on being interrogated, an-
fwered with the greatefl readinefi, " that her i•!
band had a fair complexion, and light hair." T
father was then called up again, and lie as ream;
anfwered, " that his fon bad a dark complexion, and
blackfrair." The queßion was put in different wa
and his anfwer was conflantiv the fame. The Court
permitted the woman to be fill further interroeatc,!,
and the, with the Jame readinefs as before, (poke t..
the lightnefs of her hufbaral's hair and co,uplexi,
c .
On this contradiaion, th appeal to the maiden
tlemtnt was confirmed. •
