brig, ferving under Admiral Rusts tt's fquadron,
and dated North Sea, 03ober 8. tBos.
I.aft Sunday night was an evening of horror, glory, Joy, and
farrow to me. Juft at dark two large French cutter brigs ran
alongfide, one on each beam, and with many opprobrions terms
ordered me on board. I had but nine guns to their thirty-fix, and
was not prepared for fuel a reravarre. My courage and pretence
of mind Ruck to me, but with them it was only a word and a
blow, I prepared to furrender, and in reply ordered the Commo-
dore to come on board me; his rejoinder was a broadlide, which
very near deprived one half of us of exifteoce; our jib boom juft
denred his tafferel when I gave him our larboard guns —They
both wore and kept up a well-directed tire until eight o'clock, by
which time our quarters were well chared, and we got the grape
ready,deternlined to fell our lives as dear as poffible, as we had not
the leaft chance of cleaving At this moment, l was tinder the necef-
fity of linking all my papas, fignals, inftrualons, &c. to cut away
one anchor, heave one ufelefs gun overboard, and dear the decks
of every incumbrance. Our main boom was *lot away, all our
running rigging, tome of the handing, moil of the fails *tattered;
one taut in the magazine,one in my bed place broke in four pieces ;
both brigs within piftol fbot, and corning ftill nearer, and no help
nigh ; in this fituation, when I had bid adieu to all worldly cares,
and Cullen!), refolved to fink, the enemy to my great aftonithment
hauled his wind, and flood from as: this was a glorious chance ;
a dram was adminiftcred to our brave fellows, and we then only
withed to ',cable to catch than ; but it would have been madnefs:
we bad enough to do to get ourfelves into failing condition. I law
no more of them: next morning I flood for Yarmouth in hopes of
meeting a comrade—l borrowed two tons of water from the Roe- I
buck, and failed the next hour in quell of them; one mot gave me
a terrible heaci.ach, but thank Gun except a couple of feratches, I
Japed; fuch au dupe, perhaps, never occurred ; every foul on
board bad compounded for a French prifon. when 1 gave the or-
ders wto wear.' The Frenchman bloated( had no Idea of my re-
fitting or he would bare boarded us when we wore :

The bake d'Oatsarss, the Portuguefe Ambafra.
dor,, and the Marchionefs of Wl:t.tsst.sr, arrived
here. about two days ago. The two former, with 1
Count Braujotoos, and a felcs.l circle of Nobility,
were lan. night entertained by the Royal Brothers
at the Paviiiiin. Mdic, as ufttal, was the chief
amnfernent of the evening. The Portuguefe Am-
balladOr left us. to return to the metropolis this morn-
ing. Mr. Jottason, and family, fur the feafon, alfo
left this place to-day. The Duke of MARLsottounit
continues here about eight or ten days longer.
The weather to-day, though rather cold, has been
favourable to the rides and walks. On the Steyne,

The Prince, the Duke of Clarence, the Duke and Duchefs of
Marlborough, Lady A. Spencer, Count Bcsujolois, the Duke
d'Orlcans, the Duchefs du Picone, Lord and Lady Lein", Earl

Captain Mc. Leod of the Cygnet, Colonel Leigh, of the !nth Dra•
fount, Lady Stuart, Dodlor Eankhead, Mifs Watkins, the Reit.
Mr. and Mrs Portis, Ste. &c.

Ocr. 12.—His Royal Highnefs the Duke of CLA• I
NCE and his three lons, and the Duke d'Oatseas,
left this place for London yefterday morning. The
weather yetlerday was fo exceedingly fine, that there
was fcorcely a fathionable equipage at prefent here,
but what contributed to the hilarity of the rides. The
Duke of MARLBOROUGH was in his elegant poR-cha-
riot ; the Duchefs and Lady AMELIA Sr Facia took
an aninc,, in the Dnchefs's carriage. The Marchio.
neircs 4 D. ICNSH IRE and Wtttcstry were in their
refpefiive haronthes ; and the chariot of the Earl
and Cnnniela of CLERII,,NT, containing her Lady-
(hip, the Earl being on horfeback ; Earl and Coun-
ters BE E L tv's barouche, L.lrd TM ust.nves chariot,
Mr. JENNE/LYN barouche, Mr. Orwav's carriage,
Mrr. PATTERSON'S carriage, and very many others
of the moft dafhing and pleating deftriptinn, were to
be teen in motion during the greater part of the
routing. The Pavillion party, on Friday evening,
was elegant, fele.", and numerous. M. Larosit, an
Efnigrant of ditliktion, again amtifed the Prince and
his company with a full difplay of his powers on the
grand pianoforte. A quartette fur the piano, the
flute, the horn, and bafl'oon, was exqnifitely pet form-
ed, and very loudly applauded. Viorri was pre-
fent ; but whether or not his violin was tired, we could
not afcertain. A feleet, hut not a numerous patty,
dined yefterday with the Prince.

Monday fe'nnight on the Calton Hill, taint:Aires,
for a wager, John Dona Won, hat maker, Calton,
lifted, one at a time, a hundred fmall (tones, each at
a yard's di,lance, and laid them in a heap, in 44 mi-
nutes. Immediately after Charles Doig, baker, at-
chieved the fame exploit in 49 minutes.
A few days ago, a gentleman in Kirrymuir, nn-
ilertook, for a mall wager, to walk eight miles in an
hour and a half, which he accomplithed in one hour
and eleven minutes.

By a Correfpondent who has been on a tour in the
fouthern Counties of Scotland, we learn that there
never was a better harvell nor a better crop, and all

and yet we cannot look for low prices.

There is nova living in the neighbourhood of Tot-
tenham-Coirt.Read, a woman of the name of Eli-
ztubeth Alezander, apparently very old, though not
emaciated, and who rays flue is two years and more
above too. She walks very, buifkly, and is perfally
fenfible and intelligent. She has lived in her prefent
refidence feventy years.

The following is a defcription of the new Theatre
Royal, Bath : l'his elegant edifice, now on the eve
of commencing its performances, is expeled to rank '
among the tint buildings of its kind in Europe ;—its
ei,nientions rather exceed thole of old Drury Lane,
and the opening (pace of the green curtain is precife.
ly the fame with that of modern Covent Garden.—
There are three tiers of hazes, excelEvely lofty, and
affording a depth of feveral rows towards the centre.
The pillars (of call iron bronzed) are placed at a
diflance of two feet from the front, by which the firtl
row of each circle appears as a balcony, independent
of the main arature, and an inconceivable air of
lightnefi is thus communicated to the teut-enfemble.—
The private boxes are 26 in number, inclofed with
gilt lattices. The entrance to thefe are by a private
houfe, and they are accommodated with a fake of ele-
gant retiring rooms. The colour of the houfe is a
rich crimfon, decorated with the antique chaplet, and
teiloon, of oak leaf in gold. But the principal boaft
ttaf this Theatre confills in its ceiling, which runs with
one plain unbroken furface, gradually afcending from
rlie Commit of the Rage to the capitals of the gallery
-pillars. Here are difplayed five beautiful reprefen-
tatiory. of tl.e Heathen Mythology—ehl d'euvre.r of
that celebrated Italian artill, the decealed Cafrali.—
A fplendid flame work contras the paintings, which
Icrmerly adorned the great gallery at Fonthill. and
are flid to have coil the Late Mr. Beckford no lets
than 2naol. The decorations behind the curtain are
upon a Peale equally fuperb.
A beautiful young Lady eloped borne days ago
with the fon of a tradefinan near Watling•theet. Her
faiier, who is a rich merchant reading near the Kent
Road, purl; led and overtook the fond lovers on their
way to Guildford. The young man, after receiving a
fevers cudgelling from the enraged merchant, was
about to .ftibmit to his fate, and take along farewell
of his millrefs, when the vounglady called her father
aside, reminded him that the had left borne for snore
thin twelve hours, that a night had paired in the in.
serval face Ike had determined to become a wife
and that it would neither contribute to his happinefs
nor her honour to prevent the match, fince things
had gone fn far. The parent took the hint, and was,
after a moment's recolledion, as dela ous to fee the
nuptial ceremony performed, as he was before refo-
lute to prevent it. The parties all returned to town,
and nest morning the happy pair were joined in holy
wedlock, when the lady confetred that the hint the
had thrown out was nothing more, than an innocent
liratagem to gain her parent's content, and that her
own honour sinthis reputation were usfollied.
