MALTA AND GIBRALTAR.

By the Lifbon mail we have received letters from
Gibraltar and Malta. Every thing was quiet at the
latter place in the beginning of May. About 3o of
the mutineers of Froberg's regiment bad been execut-
ed, and the greater part of the remainder had been
fent to Sicily, from whence two Britifis regiments
were daily expelled to arrive at Malta.

The Witaosot CASTLI had got her main man
(hilted, and was expefted morn to fail for sicily.
The troops in Garrifon at Gibraltar were in good
health when our accounts game away. The 'l'aaa•
SIT arrived there on the 16th, and the ELECTRA on
the 17th ult. bath from Malta, and on the rfith the
AIAPHION alto arrived at Gibraltar from Malta, with
convoy, and 26 fail for England. Fur tome other
particulars, fee our Falmouth letter.

AMERICAN STATES.

American Papers, to the tg•h ult. arrived yeller
day. They contain accounts of a very unpleafaut
occurrence in one of the ports of the United States.
The DRIVER floop of war has been obliged to quit
Charleflon Roads, in c )nfequence of a peremptory
requifition made to Capt. Lava, by the Commander
of Fort Johnfon. The letters which pared on that
occafion will be found in another part of our Paper.
They fully explain the motives of this extraordinary
proceeding. The DRIVIR was one of the veffel.,
which, in confequence of the death of PEARCE. an
Ametican feaman, by a flint fired from the LEANDER,
was interdifled from entering any port or hat bonr
of the• United States. We could hardly have elinaed,
after the approximation which both countries had
made towards a gond underflanding, that this filly
interdiCtion wculd have been abed upon. We attri-
bute it rather to an overweening zeal on the part of
an individual, and an effulion of official infolence,
than a fettled intention to infult the Britith Rag.
A New York Paper of the gth of May Rates, that
Captain CoLar, from Alicant, reported that he faw
eight fail of the•line (French), on the 14th March,
in lat. 3r. long. 21. 41. The above fquadron is fup.
poled to be that under the command of Sir S. Hon!), i
as they were cruizing near that latitude at the above I
date.

Difpatches were yeflerday received from Colonel
CRAUFnRD, at the Cape.
His islsirrry has prefented a fuperb fervice of
S icramental Plate, and Candelabra of the moll
curious vi,4km.infltip, for the altar of the great church
at Quebec, which the Bllhop of that Province is to
take over with him. His Majelly's Arms are richly
emboffed on each article, and the whole fervice is
curi,mily arranged in a mahogany cafe, with a green
filk curtain to draw before it.

On Wednefd,ry evening was baptized, at the honk
of the Duchefs Dowager of RUTLAND, in Sackville-
Illreer, the int-all fon of Lady C. Fostaasysa. The
ceremony was perfoi med by the Arelibifhop'of CAN-
TERBURY, in the pretence of his Royal Highnefs the
Prince of WALES, Duke and Dar.hefs of BEAUFORT.
Duke and Ducbefs of RUTLAND, Lord CHARLES
SOMERSET, Ladies GantGLS CAVENDISH, C. Hao-
GERSTON, ane feveral other di Ringuilbed fafhionables.
On Monday fe'nnight, the Sum of 8001. being the
benefaetion of the Rev. D. TAYLOIIa and WILLIAM
MTDDL ETON, Efq. to poor Clergymen, wish good
charaaers and large families, was dint ibuted amongft
teventpeight applicants : in the lilt we perceived the
following names, viz. Solomon Lewthwaite, of Hut-
ton ; John Mayfon, of Thurfby ; Jofeph Rogerfon,
of Caldbeck ; Thomas Shepherd, of Kirkhampton;
John Topping, of Stapleton; and James Marflaall, of
Ireby ; all in the county of Cumberland. The la(.
mentioned is 53 years of agc, has ten children, and
his income, 251. per annum.—Anthony Barrow, of
Kentmere ; Rrbert Rigg. of Winfter ; and Henry
Johnfon, of Martindale ; all is the county of Vv'eft-
morland.

As Si;* DAVID BAIRD was returning to town a few I
days ago, from Scotland, in croitng Barnet Common,
he was flopped in his chaife by a Tingle highwayman,
who demanded his money. Sir DAVID not being
armed furrendered his purge, containing upwards of
tool. in Bank of England notes, when the highway.'
man, after politely thanking the General, rode off.
By the Treaty of Peace figned at Pam, on the
ith December, 1806, between Saxony and France, !
the latter engaged to obtain from Pruffia, for the
former, the Circle of Cotbus Rad Peitz, fituated in
Lufatia, and (+mounded on all fides by the Saxon
territory. Added to the former Saxon dominions,
it would render Saxony three times larger than Wir-
temberg ; but even with this addition, Saxony would
be cenfiderably Jell, though richer and better
cultivated, than Bavaria. The Circle of Cotbus ami
Peitz has an extent of about one hundred Englith
fquare miles ; its foil is generally light and Candy,
but in Come parts very fertile : it abounds in excellent
paft urn, and numerous fifli ponds, which yield plenty
of fine carp. Its two market towns are Cotbus and
Peitz. The former has 800 well built houfes, and I
food inhabitants, employed chiefly in brewing, and
in force linen and woollen manufaCtures. There are, ,
befides, t 16 villages; and the whole Circle contains
a population of about 30,000 inhabitants, moll of ,
whom are lineally defcended from the Vandals, whole
language they have retained. I

SAILING MATCH.—Yeflerday the long depending
Sailing Match, for so guineas, between Capt. Camp.
bell Allan, of the Sally, and Captain Gardner, of the
ViSory, both of H nfrlyclown, took place. They
Ratted from Cuckold's P.,int to Erith and back, which
was won by the Sally. The match was one of the
fltarpea contefied we ever remember to have witneffed
on the Thames ; bets at ft trti 1g were ten to five in
favour of the Viaot y. When they arrived at Eti•h,
they were as high as ten to one, but jolt before they
were abreaß of Greenwich on the return, the ode

were in favour of the Sally, which increafed as the
came up the river, and beat the Viitory by about a
cable's length.

Wednefday afternoon a hnorepainter, working at
the Treafury, Whitehall, fell from a fcaffqld, when
he was taken to the Wrilminfler Infirm.try, where
he foon after died.

Yet:let-day a labourer on the q aye, convinFted at the
lea Old Bailey feffions for pilfering, was publicly
, whipped in Lower Thamectireet.
Valentine fuitors put a variety of etudes (literary
and non-literary,) under their pillows, in order to in-
duce pleafant dreams. Zuere----schether It may not
be prudent in all fuch, at this critical moment, to
become fuitors of Fortune, and to put under their
pillows the figures No. 9,949, which, it is notorioully
known, was a befpoke number, the offpring of fancy,
and produced, in the left Lottery, 10,0001. to a re-
fpeaable tradefman at Southampton. It can do no
harm, and may poffibly caufe a dream of a number
that may taro out equally4.ortunate.
Some few days ago, a man went from Dallington
to Hellingly, to be married, but not being provided
with a certificate of the banns having been regularly
publifhed, the Minifter was under the neceffity of
poßponing the wedding till the following day, not
thinNig it poffible that the man could return in time,
fo great a dillance, on foot, for the performance of
the ceremony fooner. He was, however, determined
to make the attempt, and after pulling off his hat,
and committing it to the care of his intended bride,
flatted from the church-yaro, at Lull (peed, and re-
turned to Meltingly so minutes before twelve, corn.
pitting a diftance of nearly 10 miles, in exaelly two
hours and 35 minutes, to the great joy of the he.
trothed damfel, who anzioully waited his arrival,
which had n fooner taken place, titan a congratu-
latory fainte was exchanged, when the fond couple
repaired to the Hymeneal altar, and were made
happy. The bridegroom is final' of Ramie, about
25 years of age, and, of courfe, mutt have been
wholly unprepared for fuch a pedeltrian enterprife.
Ann Wilfon, a dafking Cypriots, underwent an exa-
mination at Guildhall, yetterday, charged with rob-
bing a gentleman of the name tof Dye, of his pocket.
book, containing a 51. Bank of England note, and rBs.
in hirer. As Mr. Dye was walking up Ludgate-hill.
about eleven o'clock at night, the prifoner, who is
a flout powerful woman, pounced upon him, feiud
him round the body, and took from his fide-pocket
the property above.mentioned. He inftantly charged
her with Reeling his pocket-bogie, and gave her into
the cußody of a watchman, who was obferving
the prifoner's conduit; but on her being conveyed
to the watch houfe, and fearched, the property was
not found. No parlor. being near Mr. Dye at the
time he was robbed but the watchman, and as he
had been drinking with the prifoner not a minute
before, there was reafon to believe that he was impli•
cated in the affair, and it was fuggefted that he alto
Ihould be (earthed ; but, before the conftable of the
night could effetfk it, he fuddenly difappeared; nor
could he be found for Tome time; and when he was
found, the excufe he made for quitting the watch.
houfe was fo improbable, that the officer of the night
tent him, with the prifoner, to the Compter. Mr. Dye,
however, declining to (wear pofitively that !mime the
prifoner Wilfon convey his pocket book to the watch-
man, though,fr om their manner, they firmed perfeilly
acquainted, he was difcharged; but Ann Wilfon was
fully committed for trial. The watchman, elated at
his diimiffal, Paid, he was to be found every night at
the coiner of the Old Bailey ; but the Magiarate,
conceiving him to be an improper perfon to guard
the property of his fellow citizens, informed him, that
he had given fuch initiations that be would k lota
there no more.
