Lieutenant Cows arrived at the Admiralty on
Saturday, with difpatches from Sir Sessost. Hooa,
which do not contain any thing of importance.

Difpatches have been received at the Admiralty
from Sir RICHARD STRACHAN, commanding our
fquadron off Rochefort. They are dated the aoth
inftant ; and although we have not been f 3 fortunate
as to engage the enemy, we have, on this occafion,
prevented the efcape from port of a fquadron which
has fo often failed and returned with impunity....
Defpairing of eluding the vigilance of our indefati.
Fkble failors, the French chips have retired into the
Inner harbour, and are now entirely dirmantled,
Their fquae.ron confined of one three-decker and fir,
feventy-fours. The crews are landed and encamped
on He Dieu.

The Scottifh Corporation had a very refpeilable
Meeting laft Saturday, at the Crown and Anchor;
the Duke of MONTROSI in the Chair. Lord Ss*.
FURTH, Sir JAMES MURRAY PULTENEY, &C. &C. were
prefent, to the number of nearly zoo.
The Experiment, Swann, from New York for
London, is put int., Sligo in diftrefs.
Fliday a fine frigate, pierced for 38 guns, was
I lunched at Southampton. She is called the Hutt-
SAR, and went off in a pleafant Rile. Captain R.
LLnYEI is to command her.

On the 7th of 06lober laft, arrived at Calcutta,
fir Arab (hips. The Nacodas reported, that ofirCey..
lon, they were boarded by the Piedmontefe French
frigate, and completely plundered of all their calls,
provifions, &c. One (hip was aCtually left without
a tingle calk of water on board, and was defired to
!eek for a frefla fupply at Ceylon, where they were
infolently told it might be had by paying for it; if
this vtlfel had not happily fallen in with another
Arab, who fupplied her with zo caficc of water, the
confequence might have been dreadful from the want
of this necenry of life. It is added, that one of the
Nacrdas of the above veifels reports, that two Arne.
rican velfels, bound to Calcutta, had experienced the
depredations of there Imperia! Pirates. Two Arab
(hips had been fent to the Mauritius ; the amount of
fpecie taken from the Arabs, is (fated to amount to
four lacks of dollars.

Sir CECIL BISSHOPP'S claim to the Barony bf
'touch was finally decided on in the Houfe of Lords
on Thurfday. The Report Oates that it is a female
Barony, that Sir C. B. has clearly made out his de.
(cent from the eldelt daughter of the tan Lord; it
remains with his Majefiy to confirm the claim, as he
has recently done, in the cafe of the Barony of Rous.
The Lori Chancellor was addreffcd on Saturday
in the Court, by an elderly man, who reprefented
that he had been abandoned by his Counfel, had been
affeeled with the pally, and was unable to profecute
his claim againft thufe who had defpeiled him of his
prop,rty. His Lr•rdfhip defired him to hand to one
of his officers a written Itatement of his cafe, and he
fhould have redrefe. His Lordfhip fixed the Bank.
rupt Petitions for Tuefday.

On Saturday the Counfel for Mr. PAULL gave no•
tice that they did not mean to go into the fcrutiny.
Their cafe, on the other points, will be doted this
day or to-morrow.

Duncan, the gardener, convieted of the murder at
Clapham, after being three times refpited from death,
has received a pardon, on condition of being tranf•
ported to Botany Bay for life, and has been removed
to the Retribution hulk at Woolwich on his way
thither.

HYDE PARR —We never remember this place of
Sunday Reforr make a more brilliant appearance than
it did yelterday. The coach way from Piccadilly
Gate to Kenlington Gardens, was literally filled from
end to end, betides fcveral other rows of carriages,
which drove other direEtions. To give names would
be endlefs talk; for we may fafely affirm, that
alma, if not all the falkionabler in town were there.
The moR of the equipages were open landaus, ba•
roaches, and fuch as had an effeEt of (hewing them
to more advantage. The ride was equally crowded,
in which were,

The Park and Kenfington Gardens had every walk
filled with beauty and fath;on. The light fumrner
&cries were, for the fill time, difplayed to much
advantage. The flreets were filled to a late hour
at night in every direction leading to and from the
country.
. A barn, containing eight loads and (even quarters
of wheat, WJS burnt down lalt week At Battle, to the
fevere lots of Mr. Solmer, the indullrious nwner.--
It originated in feveral flakes of burning foot from
the kitchen chimney falling on the thatch of tht barn.
