Wednefday morning flume with fo animated an

Dandelion Gardens, where the fcene was very

melancholy event of a death in RA v MOND'S family.

Manager, with a liberality which does honour to
his diameter, fti7eLl that opportunity of announc-
ing that the perfut manses of the night were for the

TRAVELLING by the MAIL-COACHES, &c.

" Bush Inn. Briftol, Sunday nom.

" I left London haft night at eight o'clock in
the &HU mail coach. We arrived at the fourteen
mile ftone at about half pall ten o'clock, where
the coachman, whore name is Wright (and it
s risht that the public Iheuld know his nainc,)
together with the Guard, thought proper to
alight, and to leave the coach entirely to the
hones, and while fink men were drinking at
the public houfe called the Three Magpies, the
horfes, finding thcmfelves at liberty, let off with
incredible fpeed, and purfued their way to Cols-
brook, diftant four miles. Our fituation, for we
were four in number, is more eafily conceived
than dcfcribed. For the firft two or three mi-
nutes we were dumb with fear, expefting every
moment to be dallied to pieces. In this danger.
ous Itate we remained for about a quarter of an
hour, in which time we paired no lcfs than three
bridges, where the water is very deep, into which,
if the coach had been hurled, we mull have been
infallibly fuffocated. At the end of which time,
and jolt before we reached the turnpike which
conduas you to Colebrook, a Mr. Edwards of
Briflol and myfelf took the refolution of quitting
the coach. We opened the door for this purpo?e
twice,but the velccity of our movement terrified us;
at length, however, we fprong from it, and provi-
dentially only received a few flight bruifes; it was
utterly imptrible for us to keep our feet, owing
to the impetus we received from the coach. We
followed it a minute or two, when it was out of our
fight, learning with fatisfaaion at the turnpike that
it had paired it in fafety, and loon afterwards, by
means of the fcreams of a poor boy whom we had
taken up at Hounflow, that it was flopped at Cole-
brook ; and here I may remark that in our courfc
we paired no lefs than fix broad wheel waggons,
to one of which we approached fo near as to
have our lamp carried off. Let me now make
a few remarks : after returning thanks to At.
MIGHTY Grin for his merciful prefervation.—
Travelling by the Mail should call our attention
to a few particulars intimately connetted with our
fafety. We Ihould, as much as lies in our power,
prevent the coachmen from calling at the public
honks fituated between the poll towns, where they
flop to drink, and often, with the guard, leave the
horfes, belides intoxicating themfelves, which ren-
ders them incapable of driving. Pafrengers Mould
be watchful whenever the coach flops, if the coach-
man alights,inflantly toget out ()film caoch,and not
to reftime their places till the coachman takes his,
u ith the reins hi his bands. It would alto be atten-
tive, and anfwer an excellent end, if the proprietors
of the mail coach weretohave paintedand affixed in ,
' fome conspicuous part of the coach, that any com-
plaints
againii the driver or guard would be thank-
tally received at their Office, or the General Pa
Office. 'Phis would enfure the good behaviour and
fecurc the lives of the pairengers and the fafety of I
the mail ; for the infolence of thefe fellows is un-
fufferahle : for example, when I retnonfirateel with
Wright on account of his conduit (for he followed
us, with the guard, in a poll chaife as loon as it
could be procured, and overtook us abdut an hour
and a half after), he replied, that we might think
ourfelves d—d lucky to have efcaped with our
necks, and that he defied me and every attempt to
punish him. I /Alt your's, &c.

" Capt. ROGERS, of the fchnoner Sincerity, who
arrived here yelcrday from St. Croix, informs,
that on his failing it was reported that the French
troeps had completely conquered the Negroes at
Guadaloupe, and that two thoufand Blacks (the
French accounts fay 300), who had bravely held
out to the laft hour, rather than furrender, joined
hand and hand in one of the fortifications round
the magazine, and blew themfelves up."
The fame Paper, under date Newbury Port, June
22, contains the following_ article, which is tome
days fubfequent to the French accounts :—Our
accounts from Guadaloupe are to the firft of June,
which we received by Capt. STEMS; who informs,
that about the 27th ult. the Blacks evacuated Bar.
feterre, and marched through the Hand, with the
mutt ftvage devaflation and murder, and Rationed
at a fort about two miles back of Point Petre, when
a bloody engagement enfited (in. which PE LA C
was wounded and a fon killed, which hailed all
the day, when, about fun fet, one of the French
troops milling in, cut away the flag-flaff halyards,
and let down the Blacks' Ilandard, they imme-
diately evacuated the fort, and retreated back with
lots. DELGR ES, commanding the Black troops at
the fort in Baireterre, left that fort on the night of
the 23d of May, whether by firatagem or COMplli.

their way. Thewhite army followed, and had ft.
viral fkirmilhes with them before their arrival at
the Point, which was on the 27th or 28th, when
they had a very revere engagement, wherein the
Negroes were beaten and dilperfed, holing about
