terday, the Thisbe, Rama, for Jamaica ; Albion, Barter, fur
Barcelona; and Lord Melville, Anaass for Rio Janeiro; and
sailed with the whole of the outward bound; bat it has since

vannah Packet, WOODWARD, in 54 days from Charleston; and
Tyne, SDIPSON, from St. Michael's.
LIVERPOOL, Frs. 1 L —Put back the Nancy, for Buenos Ayres ;

Garrzeocr Frs. 15.—0 n the 10th inst. the brig Barraisie
picked up a boat off the Foul Ground, on her passage from
Dublin, and carried irinto Trona. On the outside of the stern
is " Norfolk, of Yarmouth;" and in the inside, " William
Pestell." The Master of the brig saw some things floating at
a distance, having the appearance of planks; and on the same
day there were a good many oranges strewed on the shore vs
, the south of Troon.

CHAILLIESTONt JAW. 19.—8 y the Cultism, which arrived in
eleven days from Port-an-Prince. we learn that the Spanish re-
fugee privateers in the vicinity of Santa Martha are capturing all
American vessels they fall in with, and the United States schooner
Grampus has sailed in quest of them, and to protect the trade in
that quarter. The examination of the Officers and crew of the
Portuguese skip Mariana Flora terminated yesterday : they were
discharged, upon the ground that there existed no proof of their
having attacked the Alligator with a piratical intention; that
they acted under a mistake in supposing the Alligator to have
been a Patriot privateer, and fired upon her with a view of
frightening her off. The ship, we understand, will be libelled
in behalf of the United States as a prize to the Alligator.

bransron-Itorse.—Mr. Brown, the City Marshal, having,
the execution of his duty on Saturday Light, at the door of the
Mansion-house, towards the cisee of the liand entertainments
teeeived insult and opposition from the coachman of '.'r.Greggt
dne of his Lord.ltipe's guests, it was thought necessary to have
the matter investigated, as the Marshaes life was put in danger
by the ruffianly conduct of the fellow. Between twelve and one
O'clock the company were departing, and the coach of Mr. Sheriff
Venable, was called, but the defendant whipped Op his horses
to the door, and refused to pay the slightest attention to the rea
monstrance of the officers. Mr. Brown, who appeared in full
dress, and could not be mistaken for a person acting without
authority, finding that the defendant had persisted in his oppoi-
don, directed him either to back his horses or to drire on, but
the order being treated with contempt, the Marshal mounted
the boa for the purpose of ending the contest, when defendant
shoved him Nos the box amongst the coaches—a single ammo. •
went of which might have destroyed him. 4 great number of
the crowd encouraged the defendant to pentibre, and the !on-
fusion became intolerable. The Marshal, as as he disc*
gaited himself, again mounted the boa, and the defendanu
—lt was, indeed, his intention to pull the fellow from the box,
but being informed that the family were getting into the coach, •
he got down. The defendant, however, whipped lb the honest
sad Hawkins, the Marsh/amen, with treat difficulty, prevented
bins from again putting the life of the Marshal in danger. Sir
C. llotirse, who prelided at the investigation, said, the general
Issiluct of Gentlemen's servants was most infamous ; they ware
dialogs of any mischief that might occur upon occasions like
that of Saturday. The defendant-had strewn that be was one of
that society, and deserved severe puniihment for his conduct;
but the Marshal now evinced the greatest forbearance, by et.
pressing his intention not to press the matter against the fellows
—Sir C. Hbvirsa then told the coachman to act better for the
future, and go about hisbasiness.

Gustenata..—Yesterday, a young man was charged with ut-
tering a counterfeit sovereign. It was stated that he went
into a pawnbroker's, and offered a coat to pledge for twenty-
Ave shillings. The pawnbroker gave him Ave shillings, and
a sovereign; but the prisoner, putting his hand on the counter,
pushed a counterreit ore back again, at the same time dex-
terously withdrawing the good sovereign, desiring to be paid
wholly in silver. The pawnbroker, on discovering the baseness
of the one tendered, accused the prisoner of attempting to cheat
him, when he rook it up, and ran out of the shop. but was over-
taken, and a good and a bad sovereign found on him. The Mu
gistrates questioned the complainant strictly as to his certainty
of the charge • but Mr. Manse, for the prisoner, waived all
objection, and he was liberated on bail.
Hannon-Gmmert.—Yesterday, Dilly Waters, a black man, well
known by his eccentric appearance, having a wooden leg, and
wearing a cocked hat with high feathers, and dancing to the tun*
of his own Addle, was brought up by the officers of the Mena-
city Society, charged with begging and collecting crowds in the
streets ; also with addressing improper observations to females,
whose notice was attracted by his groteque appearance. He was
some time since brought before the Board, when be stated, that
he lost his leg, about 14 years since, on board the Ganymede
fri-
gate, for which he receives Xl4 a year, from Greenwich Hos-
pitaL The Board then offered to obtain his admission Into the
Hospital, and to put a woman with whom he cohabits (and by
whom he has a child, eight years old), in a way to provide fee
herself. He, however, refused to be separated from them; and
was dismissed on-promising not to beg any more. This com-
pact, however, he violated, and was again apprehended. The
Magistrate endeavoured to prevail on him to accept the offer'
made him by she Board, assuring him that if he was caught
begging again he would be committed, as he would be without
excuse. Billy; however, declared "He would live and die con.
stant to Poll !" and that nothing but force should separate him
from her. He was then discharged, on renewing his promise not
to be found begging again.
Maati.sorrocco-rraerr.—Yesterday, four daring fellows were
charged with a burglary in the house of Mr. Condell, of Green-
ford, under the most atrocious circumstances. It appeared,
that about two o'cloelt yesterday morning the family was alarmed
by thieves in the house, when a relation of 'Mr. Condell's arose
from his bed, and seizing his gun, fired at two of the thieves
whom he saw on the stairs. They escaped from the back win-
dow at which they entered, and ran across a field, A constable
was on the watch, and seized a man whom he suspected, and had
a desperate struggle with him, in which the villain cut him on
the head in a dreadful manner, with some instrument. The
fellow ran off, and was followed by three others, through a
quickset hedge, and made their escape. However, the one by
whom the constable was attacked was afterwards secured, as
well as another man who was suspected of the robbery; his
clothes being muddy and torn, as if he had rushed through some
brambles, and a knife and loaded pistol were found on him.—
Two others were found lurking near Twickenham, and were
also secured. The prisoners gave very suspicious accounts of'
themselves, and they were committed for further examination.
A girl, about 15 years of age, was brought up by a watch-
man, named Hughbo, who stated, that on Sunday night he was
going his rounds through New-street, when he discovered the"
prisoner sitting in a door-way, and asked her what she was
waiting there for? She replied, " that she had no other place to
sleep in, and came there for shelter; that her parents were
dead ; the only friend she bad left her was her brother, but be
was abroad, and was not aware of her wretched condition."—
The witness ascertaining that she was hungry, gave her part of
his humble fare, which he bad brought to refresh himself in the
night, and took her to the watch-house. She told the Magi..
trate that her name was Caroline Layton, and her father acd
mother had resided at No. 8, Wardour-street. Her father was an
engraver, her mother a dress-maker ; her father some time since
died, and her mother soon after followed him, and she had been
thrown on the world about three months. At the death of het
mother she was driven to begging in the streets by nights, and
she now and then slept in St. Giles's, in consequence of the
cheapness of the lodgings there; but she had, through her dis.
tress, mixed with some bad females who introduced her to
some vile houses, at the scenes in which she became disgusted,
and had every desire to enter the Workhouse. She was informed
that the blagistrates would render her their assistance, if she had
told the truth, to restore her to society ; and she was conveyed so
the Parish Officers of St. James's, to enquire into ter case.
Towu-HALL, Soarowanx.,—Jels Thompson, belonging to it •
naval service of the East India Company, was charged with fe-
lony. Mr. Whitworth, a Medical Student, stated that he and
the prisoner lodged in one house, and that on Thursday last he
missed a £2O check from his desk : it was alsoproved, that abort
the same period the prisoner was surprised in Mr. Whitworth's
room, and that, from the greatest indigence, be suddenly as-
sumed an affluent appearance, and left a parcel, containing eleven
sovereigns, with a Gentleman at the India House, to take care
of. Strong suspicion, therefore, fell upon him, and he was taken
into custody. The prisoner strongly asserted his innocence, bus
was remanded.
