CORK, AUGUST 12.

On the night of Wednefday, a mob of ruffians rt.
newed their atrocities againtt DAVID GORMAN, li.e
tenant to the lands of Mullinarninky, by breaki;
down his fences and driving into his meadows fat:
cows, llabbing a bull valued at thirty guineas, inti,
whofe body they plunged a bayonet, which they left
fixed in the wound.

About eight o'clock this morning, a fire broke oLt
in the upper loft of a Store, belonging to Mr. jo.
&It arr. Painter and Glazier, of Duncan-beet,.
The principal and alma the only article which the
loft contained was glafs ; which, to a confiderable
amount, together with the loftand roof of the houfe,
were confumed.

Friday evening, Lord Vifcount McLvictr arrived
at hi, Con's honfe at Melville Cagle, near Edinburgh.
On Wednefday her Royal Highnefs the Prince
of WALES, attended by the Hon. Mrs. LYALL, LAdT
la Waiting, and Mrs. and Mifs Fir4oseeLn,larrived
at the Hon. Colonel HOOD'S. at Catherington, near
Portfrnouth, to dinner. Saturday, about three
o'clock, her Royal Highnefs paid a vifit to Comm;
(loner Sir CHARLES Sa:row, in the Dock-yard,
Portfmouth, when fhe partook of an elegant cold
collation. Her Royal Highnefs returned to Cathe•
rington to dinner.

In a duel lately between two flu dents of Trinitv
College, Dublin, one of them wearing fpalacles,

Sixteen Cartels, each having on board roo Spacir,
prifoners, taken in the plate fillips and reffels, detain-
ed at the commencement of the war, on Thurfday
failed from Plymouth for Cgrunna. Eight hundred
more are to follow in a day or two. The crews of
the two Spanilh (hips, lately captured off Ferrol, are
to be removed to Mill Prifon, as foon at it is ready
for their reception.

The prefent fafbion for what are ignorantly called
Egyptian letters, to the exolufion of the noble Ro.
man text, is as difgraceful as it is barbarous. nue
is foarcely a faftwalik wig maker's, milliner's, or
cook's fhop in the metropolis, that does not difplay
this ridiculous foppery ; and thus the firft city in the
world is ftultified and defaced. It is true that the
Egyptians were famed for a fort of hierogliphie
eharaeer, but they knew nothing of letters till
they were introduced by the Arabs ; and thole
exhibited in the fronts of different tradefmen'shotif.s
are as unlike the Arabia charaaers as they are the
Chinefe. The Egyptians knew that a fow wallow.
it% in filth reprefented a drunkard; but they were
unacquaintee with thole characiers to decypher their
meanings, which our faftionahle, and no doubt elate
fhopkeepers would afcribe to chuff. If like arty thing,
they are like the Roman charafter in its infancy ;
hut even then to exchange beauty for deformity ar-
gues a depravity of tette hardly to be conceived in
this enlightened age.

their voyage; and the better to fhelter themfehes
from deteaion, they touch at an American port,
procure a renewal of their hills of lading, by which
it is made to appear that the property on board is
actually flipped in America, and fir American ac.
Count and rifque. It is certain, that the Englifa
Government are well acquainted with ' the names
of the American veffels thus employed, of the na-
tiire of their loading, and the particular places or
ports to which they are bound ; but fuch a dif-
covery to his Majefty's (tips, who hive received
orders to bring is and detain all American ver•
felt bound to the enemy's ports, it is evident,
might have defeated the end for which the order
was given, ana it, was therefore made general.—
Upon this a remosfirance was made on Saturday by
the American Amballidor to our Govetnment, when
the true motives were fairly explained; in addition to
which, it was fitted by Ministers, that uo injury was
intended to the trade, that every jua and fair allow-
ante would be made to Inch Chips as thould appear
to
be unjualy detaining,, and which fhould be fet at Men!
with all poffible expedition ; and that the two veili4
which had been condemned' 1116uld be compenfatei
for to their full value, it appearing, that only one Of
the wails among ffie number intended to be brought in
under the General Orders given to the Englifhcruizas
had yet been detained.
No plea, in point of juftice, could poffilay be re-
forted to on the part of the American Arnbeador,
in beha f of the Contraaors ; but the inconvenience
.to which this Order has naturally reduCed the
London American Merchants, determined a Cow
mittee from their body to wait, yellerday, on
Mr.
'PITT, with a view to obtain relief from the mans
difficulties and inconveniences to which their concerns
In trade were reduced, by restfon of the General
Order given to Englifh ctuizers, and from the dart-
tion of American wails, in confequence of that OT.
der. The circumltances underwent a full and patient
hearing. Mr. Pratt allured the Committee, that co
an affair of fuch magnitude he did not fed himfelf at
liberty to give any reply to them in the Ihape M
which their complaints then came before :tins, and ad-
vifed, that whatever the American Merchants hadto
complain of, &NU be teemed to writing. that
fair and impartial confideration might be 'a.m.&
with all poffible difpatch. Upon this the Commit
took their leave, with the determination of pluft;ing
the line pointed out to them by the Minifter.
