A foreigner, taken up near Berwick on fufpicion
of being a fpy, has acknowledged himfelf a prifoner
who had broken out of Edinburgh Caine, in confe-
quence of which be was fent to that city on Tuefday
fennight, efcorted by two of the cottftables from Ber-
wick. In the courfe of the journey, they difcovered
that after breaking from prifon he had entered as a
tailor in forte of the veffels at Leith, and had made
his efcape after (leafing a boat, a watch, and tome
money from the Chip. He is now in dote confinement.
A Court Martial was a few days ago afTembled and
held on board of his Majefly's flip WINCH ms Ea, in
Sheernefs harbour, confining of the following mem-
rs, Capt. W. MITCHILt., Prefident ; Captains
MOM, Visit, ELP HIN STONE, Bram., and RATH-
ions!, when they proceeded to inquire into the con-
dad of Capt. CH•ates Fr RLDING, his officers, pilots,
and (hip's company, for the lnfs of his Majefty's late
(hip the Circe ; when the Court were of opinion, that
the lots of the laid fhip was occa finned by the inac-
curacy of the charts, and that no blame attaches to
Captain Ft E LDI NC his officers, pilots, and Chip's com-
pany, and they were folly acquitted accordingly.

We are happy to find that the reports brought by
the Lifbon Maii of the damages lately fullained at
Madeira, greatly exaggerated the faits. It is true
that at the time mentioned,a very heavy rain of two
days duration, fell in that ifland ; and that the coo-
fequent current from the mountains, was productive
of confiderable injury i the extent of which, howe-
ver, was by no means fo great as has been reprefent-
ed. The boufe of the Vice Conful, Mr. Coca.
which Coffered Co much, was Gtuated within a very
lhort diftance of the bridge that was deflroyed by
the deluge, and.which had a limilar fate a few years
fine; and the circumftance of that Gentleman and
his family, having ekaped unhurt from the raOft pe-
rilous fituation in the place, acorrefpondent fairly
remarks, ferves in a material degree to prove, that
the calamity could not have been of the fudden or
emotive nature defcribed in tome of the communi-
cations upon the futile& A merchant of high re-
fpeCtability in the City, .a native of Madeira, has
favoured us with the following extra& of a letter,
from one of the firfts mercantile houfes in Lifbon,
dated the t ith of November—
g‘ Yefterday a vefM arrived at this port from Ma-
deira, with an exgrefs to Government, containing
information of.a great inundation having happened
there, in copfeguente of two days beavy.rain, which
caufed confiderable damage, and was attended with

MaCTILT ACMICULTIMAL Reroar.-Since our
left moth rain has Wien. and produced the belt ef.
fees on the young wheat crops. which, on the drier
foils, Rood much in need of it. The paßsres have
likewife been greatly refrelbed by it. The various
("minions of bufbertdry that are neceffary to be per-
formed at this lido° have been yet very little inter-
rupted. In many ditiries the plough has kept con.
Randy in motion; and alfo the cart. in getting tisa-
nate upon the lands. The feafon has alfo been sot-.
funny fine for the purpofe of repabing hedges eetst
ditches; much of this fort of work having been cas-
eated in different diaries.

Owing to the rain which fell in the beginning of
the month; the wheat Cowing has been finifhed ; bat
in Tome Rreng backward lands the clover lays have
Dot been Town ; the feafon having been too far ad-
vanced before the rain came. The young wheat
looks remarkably well, and the young clover, which
at harveß appeared to be very thin, will prove a full
plant. The turnips look such improved by the rain.
but the quantity will be very (tort. This makes
Raredheep cheaper. Stock in good condition fell the
readieß. A confiderable quantity of barley is Idea
both for !beep and cattle. The wheat comes to mar-
ket of a very inferior quality. Barley is good, but
the price low. Clover feed will be very fine, and the
produce good.
