happened here the other day t In the engagethent near
this place, two soldiers happened to get hold of a box
elif doubloons ; but, as they could not at the tittle
get irsately disposed of, they resolved to sink it in
a deep pool, hoping after the battle to firtd some op-
portunity ot getting h.—They made their appestfance
only a few days ago, but after using all the means in
their power, failed in recovering the treasure. When
they found they could not do any better, they reported
the circumstance to the commandant, and after much
exertion the box was recovered ; belt, to the great
Mortification of the poor fellows, the money teas sent
to.the military chest."

his arrangements for exhibiting his Balloons at Bristol,
after he Telt Cheltenham, on the solicitations of some
Gentlemen at Derby, to'go there to ascend with his
Balloon, in consequence of the disturbed state of

near Edinburgh
• Monday last, as we were returning along the
coast for the pui pose of Joining the fleet, we got be-
calmed close under the batteries of the town.of Bor.

diglii r i : we soon observed that they were making pre-
parations to attack us. Our boats were al manned,
• and sent a-head to tow the ships out to se ; but all
)1
our exertions were ineffectual; we drifts closer in
shore, and found that our guns were insufficient to
quiet the enemy's batteries: the two frigates were
ordered to anchor on the west side of the town, while
the ARUADA came to anchor immediately in front of
the town, between two batteries. All the boats were
then manned, armed with carronades, and sent on
shore, with about 200 marines, on purpose to take the
town and baoeries, which was the only alternative we
bad left. As I understood that Captain Hoag, of
the matines, wished to take me along with him, I
went directly to Captain GRANT, and volunteered for
*that service. As soon as we shoved off from the
ships, ail the fire of the enemy was directed upon our
boats, and a. party of military sent down to the beach
to prevent our landing; but the loud cheers we re-
ceived from the ships when they saw us approach the
beach, which was eagerly returned by the boats, had
giien the enemy an awful idea of English bravery :
they immediately retired in good order to the heights
and woods, under and through which we had to pass
, on our way to the batteries. As soon as we had
formed the line upon the shore, Captain Hone divided
the to)* into three parties : one to scour the heights
and cover us on our march, a other to the town, and
the third to a battery about a mile to the eastward, to
iithieli party I belonged. We made a running march
under a continual fire of musketry from the rocks and
trees ; when we reached the plate' we spiked the guns
and destroyed the magazines. -
A On one return through the wood, Captain Hoek
Wiis shot in the thigh by a'musket ball. While I
was employed binding up his wound, one of our mem
took prisoner the Commanding Officer of the pai ty
stationed in the wood to oppose us. Before we got
to the town the magazines there were blown up, and
the batteries taken by our second party, then joined

the elephant was brought out, with only the driver on
its back surrounded by natives with basaboes in their
hands. The criminal was placed three yards behind,
on the gr3tmd ; his legs tied by three ropes, which
were fastened to a ring on the right hind leg of the
animal. At every ;step the elephant cock, it jerked
him forwards, and eight or ten steps mast have dis-
located every limb ; for they were loose and broken,
when the elephant had proceeded 51. X) yards/ The
man, though covered with mud, sheaved every sign of
