PORTSMOUTH, Auc. 13.—This morning them ain.
raft of the So I/I/LEL frigate, Capt. J. SuoarLAwn,
was taken out. It exhibited the ftriking marks of
the angular and potent effeas of lightning. The
SQEIRREL was flrack twice while cruizing on the
coati of Africa ; once in a tornado at Senegal, and
another time in a thunder florm at Cape Clear.—
The latter was by far the molt awful and deftruElive•
In both thefe tremendous hurricanes, the light-
:ling broke to pieces two maintop malts, two royal
marts. and two topgallant malls. The fail flab
''.rack her main man, and fhivered it fo much that
v cobld not fafely carry fail on it afterwards. It
tnoceeded into the lower part of the (hip, and went
nut at the fide, having (love in its way a plank, and
looted all the caulking from the fore to the main
chains, by which the (hip made eight feet an hour.
it darted from the mall to the main deck, it
knocked down the Mailer's Mate. The (bock de-
prived him of fpeech for two days, and he was blind
for three weeks. It alto (truck the Quarter.Ma(ter,
wi.n loon recovered, and particularly flruck Captain
&KIRTLAND, who appeared to thofe around as in a
blaze of are. The Skyleazt. is getting in a jury
main-malt to bring her into harbour to be repaired.
—Sailed the CHREERUS frigate, Captain SHM, and
the LOCUST gun vele!, Lieut. DODD, on a crnize.—
The aomEDE, of so guns, Captain DowaMaw, this
niorningmade a fignal for a convoy to the Eafl Indies.

flying for Tonningen, and is appointed to fail on
Thurfday.

Livmoot, AVG. T2.—The brig Retrieve, —,
of this port, went a (bore on Shark's Point, going
into the river Congo ; but with the affillance of the
boats and the crew of the Margaret, Captain Bowes,
was got off on the zt ft of April, when fhe unfortu-
nately drifted, owing to the very &mg current of the
liver, occationed by the heavy rains, and was not
returned on the to May, as the is fuppefed to have
pot to fea to avoid the torrent,—The Experiment,
NICHOLSON, from hence, on a arnize, was at Barba-
does on the 24th July.

A uo. to.—The Danills brig Ocean, Capt.
FRAHN, is arrived at Leith from Cadiz. Monday
forenoon a veffel, wherry rigged, feemingly about 3o
tons burthen, was teen to go down near the Cum-
brats in a fudden Squall - and all on board perifbed.
No further particulars Of this unfortunate accident
have yet reached us.

Com Ave. 7.—This morning his Majefly's (hilt
Extu.tatEr, Captain BARRIS, failed from our harbour
on a cruize. General MANts is expeOed in this coun-
try, to infpeet the ordnance on the South and Welt
end( of the kingdom.
We underaand Sir DAVID BAIRD will be joined, at
a certain place ofrendezvous, by cavalry, artillery,
and infantry from England, and the united force is
generally believed to be intended as a reinforcement
to Sir JAMB• CltA IG, the zoth dragoons, and the other
corps embarking at Portfmouth, having received or-
ders for the Mediterranean. Two General Officers
accompany the troops from England, and the whole
of the expedition amounts to more than to,ooo men.
Thefe, added to what are already with Sir JAMES
ex/AG, will make a very confiderable force, and it is
fappnfed fome continental operation on a large fcale
is meditated, probably in concert with the great Nor-
thern Power who has been long and fo reafonably
expefted to become a party with us in the war.

Owners in Liverpool A. molt unfortunate eir-
citrnitance happened to two officers and four tailors
belonging to the TROMPIUSE finop of war. They
were fent with letters for the (hips in Bonny, but mif-
took the River. The confequence was, they were
feized by the natives and ttaipped cf every thing ;
hut on my applica.ion, enforced with threats, they
were ddiver....i up to me ; but in filch a Ilate, that it
was impoffible to reflore them. We put them into
-vr.im baths, and afterwards into clean beds ; but in
7.. in were all our enJeavours to prererve their lives !

HAYMARKFT Tns ATIM—The three favourite
Pieces of 7he Children in the Wood, t ove Laugh: at Loco.
*the, and Torn Thumb, were for the t tth time per-
formed to an overflowing audience on Monday even-
ing. Thefe three petite pieces prefent, perhaps, the
molt whimfical contrails and variety that can be well
exhibited on the Rage in one evening. The firft is a
fort of pantomimic tragedy, which powerfully inte-
refts the feeling, by the affociation of early recollec•
tions : the fecond is that downright otari farce, which
has of late become fo popular, and in fpite of all the
Berner laws of the Drama, muff always retain its
admirers : and the third completes the trio, with a
moll extravagant burlefque of Tragedy tragedized.
The Houle contained more fafhionable company
than we generally witnefs at this feafon of the year.
Lady Hkamcors, Lady MFLIOURN, and a large
party, occupied one of the Rage boxes ; and Lady
ANN MAHON, with her lovely grand daughters, and
the beautiful Mrs. LYNDSIT, the other. We AO ob.
ferved Mr. and Lady MARY SINGLETON, Lord and
Lady BROKE, Lady JANB ASTON, the Hon. Mrs.
Dorron, Mrs. Assoa, and Mrs. Admiral Cout, in
the houfe.

An accident happened on Monday night at the
Haymarket Theatre, during the performance of The
Children in the Weed : Etstsvom, who played Walter,
in his contelt with Castrant., cut the latter fcverely
in the fact.

The lots fullained by the demolition of the Royal
Circus may be eilimated at lead at pool. They were
not infured for more than 30001.

On Saturday afternoon the ninth and laft arch of
Elvet-bridge, in Durham, was doled.
The whimficality of Dean SWIFT, in detaching a
fervant four miles to bring back his houfekeeper from
a junketting party, to Phut a door (he had left open,
is confiderably exceeded in its way by an authentic
anecdote of the venerable Lord T---, on his arri-
val at Brighton this feafon. It had rained exceflively
hard during the greater part of his journey from
London. On arriving at Bellevue, and alighting
from his carriage, he called to his footman for his
walking flick, which had been given into his care on
felting out from the metropolis; bat the fon of his
trembling acknowledged he had left it behind in town.
—Thole who are acquainted with the learned Peer,
can belt fancy the kind look this piece of intelligence
produced. In a cadence loft as diftant thunder, he
Paid, "Oh ! you have forgot my flick, have you ?
then gn back direilly and fetch it, and be d—d."
His commands were implicitly obeyed ; and the fel.
low, without waiting for refrefhments, let out poft
for London, in a drenching flaower, for the favourite
fupporter of his matter.
The following circumftance is Rated in a Paper
of yeflerday to be the fubjed of much con
verfation at Deal A large American (hip, de-
tained by the Bon arra sloop of war, on fufpicion of
having French property on board, was brought into
the Downs, and reported to Admiral HOLLOWAY,
who immediately ordered a detachment of men from
his flag-lhip to take charge of her till fhe was incped-
ed, with orders that none of her hatches fhould be
uncovered. They had not been long on board, when
they obfrrved the Mate go below with a lighted can-
dle. He was inflantly followed by three feamen of
the UTRECHT, who dete&ed him in the aft of letting
fire to some gun-powder, which was prevented only
by the feamen knocking the candle out of his hand.
On fearching further, they found the veffel was laden
with 1600 barrels of gunpowder. Had the Mate foe.
ceeded in his purpole,lthe mifchief both to the men of
war and merchantmen in the Downs, would have been
incalculable. The fellow has been fent in irons on
bawd the flag-111;p, and an enquiry will be immedi-
ately ioltitutcd into the caulk; of this diabolical at•
tanapt."

THE TEAL

On beds of foow the moon-beam Cepee
And chilly was the midnight gloom.
When by the damp grave Ellen wept t
Sweet maid! it was her Lindoes tomb.
A warm tear gulled, the winery air
Congeal it as it tlow'd away t
All night it lay an ice drop there,
At morn it glitteed in the ray!
An Angel, wand'ring from his fphere,
Who faw this bright. this frozen gem,
To dew•ey'd Pity brought the tear,
And hung it on her diadem !

BRIGHTON, AUGusr 1 i.

The military dem here yefterday, was id eonfe-
quence of a plan fome months fince concerted by his
Royal Highnefs the Commander in Chief,for thearmy
Rationed all along the coati, in contemplation of the
poffible approach of an enemy to our (bores ; and it
was performed with a degree of promptitude and re-
gularity highly redounding to the credit of the troops
on this Ration. The firit Signal gun was for the in-
fantry to accoutre, and prepare to march inflantly ;
the Cavalry to (addle and be ready to mount ; and the
Flying Artillery to yoke their guns and tumbrils; and
all to wait the fecond gun, and then to proceed di.
redly to the general rallying point on Marlborough
Steine. Every poll, of the leaß importance, was
inßantly fecured, and the town wore the fame ap-
pearance as if it were anually in a Rate of liege.—
Lord BIRK IL/ Y took the chief command, and, with
his aides-de-camp, gallopped round, and furveyed the
Rite of every poll. The Prince of WALES, accom-
panied by Lord CRAVEN and Colonel SAVAILT, did the
fame ; every thing was prepared for anion in a clear-
ter of an hour ; and filch our countrymen may rely
would be the cafe, Should ever the enemy &tempt to
land on our Shores.

Auousi- 2.—At ten o'clock this morning, the
Cvoti (loop of war took het nation in a diration
to be Peen from the Pavilion, and boated the Royal
Standard, and all her fignal flags, jacks, pendant, the
French jack at the bottom, drooping into the water.
At one o'clock the fired a Royal Salute. Earl Cra-
ven's boat was alto decorated with various co-
lours. The humbleft tithing boat hoined foam mark
ofrefpe& for our beloved Prince, of whole natal day
this is the anniverfary. The Prince of Wales's band,
in hulTar drefs, looked extremely Well, and played
on the lawn at the Pavilion, and every perfon was
preparing for the grand review on Market Hill, four
miles from Brighton ; every carriage was in requi-
fition. The forming of the line was beautiful, it ex-
tended above a mile. The Cavalry were placed to
the right of the line, confining of the 6th Ennifkil-
len, 4th gLieen's own, and Mr. Shiffnees troop of
horfe. Ot the Infantry, the South Gloucefter took
the right, next to them the South Hants : the Dor-
fetfhire and Monmonrhfhire were to the left. Six
pices of flying artillery were placed upon a hill to the
right of the Cavalry; and to the left of the Infantry,
on an eminence oppofite the artillery, were placed
the mortars. There were 4,000 men under arms.
The beauty of the ground, the company, the fine-
nefs of the day, the univerfal fervour that prevailed,
every thing confpired to make it a molt interefting
fpetiacle. Among the earlielt of the company on the
ground were Mr. Winflanley and family in their
carriage. Lady Alvanlcy, in her landau, accompanied
by feveral ladies, and Car taro M'Leod of the Cygnet
(loop of war in full uniform ; General and Mrs. John-
non, and Mrs. and Mifs Pigot, in the General's car-
riage; his charger being -led by a fervant. Mr.
SMffner's family in his landau.
At twelve o'clock, Earl Craven, as Ceneral of the
Dillrkt, Earl Berkeley, and feveral other officers, ar-
rived upon the ground. The*Cnuntefs of Barry-
more was on Vifcount Peterlham's carriage, drawn
by her own bodes ; her Ladyllsip's having been bro.
ken to pieces a few days finer, by an upfet at Rotten-
dean. At half pail twelve, the Prince's barouche ar•
rived with the Counters of Berkeley, Lady William
Ruffel, and Mifs Seymour, drawn by fix beautiful
bays, three fervants attending. In Mrs. Fitzher-
bert's barouche were the Earl of Berkeley's children,
and his Royal Highnefs the Duke of Clarence's three
lovely boys. To enumerate all the Nobility that were
on the ground, would exceed the limits of our paper.
At one o'clock, his Royal Highnefs the Prince of
Wales arrived, mounted on his beautiful Arabian
grey, and dreffed in fcarlet full uniform, accompa-
nied by the Duke of Kent, in uniform, the Duke of
Clarence, the Duke of Orleans, Count Beaujolois,
Earl of Barrymore, Lord William Ruffel, Vifcount
Peterlham, Majo: Bloomfield, and twenty other No-
blemen and Gentlemen. As loon as his Royal High.
nets arrived, he alighted, and mounted his charger,
a dark chefnut. Immediately on his arrival, a fignal
gun was fired, when his Royal Highnefs and his
company proceeded down both front and rear of the
line, and then took his nation in front of the centre,
when the field pieces to the right of do: line fired a
Royal Salute, which was anfwered from right to left;
a general difcharge from the infantry fucceeded—the
bands playing " God Save the King." The cavalry,
waving their fwnrds, gave the Prince three cheers,
the infantry joining. The cavalry then palled his
Royal Highnefs in companies, and afterwards in open
order ; the infants y did the fame, and then formed
into line. The conclufion was a grand falute from
the field pieces on the right.
It was allowed to be the grandefl fpeitacle which
the Suffex coati has boated for Come time. At twelve
o'clock the well batteries fired a Royal Salute,•and a
King's cutter paging at the time, hoifted the Royal
Standard, and returned the falute.
As Mrs. Pigot was alighting from the dickey of
General Johniton's carriage, her foot flipped, and
(he fell under the horfes. I have the plealure to add
that (be received no ;njury but what was occafioned
by the fright. The Duke of Sufrex, who has been
indifpofed, was fo much recovered as to walk on the
Steyne for tome time. but was not fufficiently conva
lefcent to join his Royal Brothers at the review.
