PLYMOUTH, AUGUST 11.
This afternoon arrived the PERT sloop of star,
from the West Indies, with dispatches from Admiral
COCHRANE, which I understand contain nothing of
importance. Left all well in that quarter; not an
enemy's cruizer to be seen. Also arrived the Eliza
ballast on board, under which, however, were found about 20

and Jane tenders, from Dublin, crammed with im-
pressed men and volunteers, fur the navy; and the
LvnA brig of war, from Basque Roads, with two
French chasse marees, her prizes, laden with wine
and brandy ; left our ships on the French coast, all I
well, on Thursday last. The French ships, at Brest
and Rochefort, remain nearly the same as per last
report—no likelihood of their coming out, while we
have a single cruizer on the station. Sir HARRY
BURRARD NEALE was expected in. Basque Roads, to
supersede. Rear-Admiral SOTHEBY. The Com.=
gun-brig likewise arrived this day from Cosunna,
which place she left on Sunday, the 17th instant.
Up to that time no confirmation had arrived of the
battle reported to have taken place in Portugal on
the 7th. The letter received by the British Consul
at Corunna, announcing such an event, (and brought
here by the Captain of she Marianne ketch/who came
passenger in the NLMROD) must therefore have been'
a forgery.—Sailed the DECOY cutter; with a convoy
for the Downs.
PORTSMOUTH, AUGUST ST.
Arrived his Majesty's ship TONANT from Cadiz ;
Films frigate, Captain HAYES, from the Leeward
Islands, with dispatches ; Hope sloop of war from a

On 3d July, spoke his Majesty's ship BULWARK, Cap.
tain FLEMING, all well, bound for Vera Cruz. The
PERT parted on Sunday last with the ships for Ire-
land and the Bristol Channel : and last night the

A FAMILY OR FANATICS. —There is a family of that
followers of Johanna Southcote settled at Teddies
ton, in Middlesex. It consists of a man, his wife, and
two daughters. They are every day, nay hour, mak-
ing proselytes of the ignorant and unwary. The father,
who is far advanced in life, sits in an old arm-chair,
gravely dressed, and is introduced to their followers
as God Almighty, who, on being properly applied to,
forgives the sins of his supplicants. The daughters
are called Martha and Mary ; they are unencumber-
ed with clothing, except a white sheet, which they
wrap carelessly about them. Martha sometimes lies
a whole day surrounded by the sheet, whilst she spits
devils at those she does not like;. but, unfortunately,
they are concealed from all eyes but her own. She
frequently pretends that she has been in a trance for
several days, and gives the most extraordinary ac-
counts of what she secs and hears during these pe-
riods. About a fortnight since, an amazing coo,
course assembled, by due notice being given that oue
SAVIOUR had appeared to Martha, and desired her to
infoim her mother that she was not long to sojourn
here; and as preparation, she was to make the largest
currant pie the oven would hold, and on the Sunday
following to sell it at Is. a slice to those who could
afford to pay for it, and to those who could not she
might give it gratis. Every part of the house and
garden was filled with visitors, and happy were those
who, for either love or money, could obt.in a piece
of this holy pie.
While the London mail coach was on its way to
Plymouth on Friday morning, in coming down a hill
near Chodleigh, one of the doors flew open, and four
Gentlemen, inside passengers, were so lastly locked

without being missed by his companions, nor was the
circumstance known till the arrival of the coach at
Ivy Bridge, where the guard procured a horse, and
I rode hack several miles in quest of the missing pas-
senger, but could not find him : he, however, arrived
at Plymouth the same night, in one of the heavy
coaches, having received no other injury than a fete
slight bruises.
