HATIALLD.—A letter from Carlisle, Anglia 31,
Pays—" Hatfield continues to pats his time in writing
to his friends and in leading. His appetite has fail-
, eel him, and he lives cl.ietly upon cotice. He applied
this morning to one of the Clergymen who attends
hint, Mr. PATTIRSON, to recommend him a nada-
man to mak: his coffin. Mr. Joss.pn Beskt sr, of
this town, took meaftne of bins, and he did not ap-
, pear to be at all agitated. He ch:clincs having any
Clergyman to attend bins to tile place of esectii ion;
bet intends, I hear, to make a thort ad lief, to the
fpenators, who may be alfembled to wiu,e6 the lati
feene."
Another Letter dated in the morning of Saturday
lays, w This day, in the afternoon, J. Hat.
fie!d, tried, found guilty, and condemned at the late
altile held in' this city, for the county of Cum-
berland, will be executed on the Sands, between
the bridges. His d'.incannur dining his impri-
fonment here, and efpccially fence lenience of death
pall on him, has been fuels as to excite admira-
tion mingled with forrnw in those that vitited him :
a/Imitation of his natural and acquired accompli(h.
ments ; throw, that abilities uhich, if rightly em-
ployed, would have done honour to himfelf, and
tended to the welfare of fikriety, have been, by dcvi.
ation Flom the path of ralitude, fatally obleured and
lid. Alas! his fun, which might have long (hone
cach increafing brightnefs, is prematurely let in
dal knels.—The Clergymen who hare been a means
of preparing him, by their religious virus, for death
and eternity, found him well acquainted with the
fetiptures, and with the religion therein contained ;
that his faith tells upon the broad bafis of the mercy
and love a Gon to penitent liners, through the
atonemcnt of Jr sits Cl4Rusr, without troubling him•
iclhwitli the complexional dogmas of this or that re.
ligious calomels and compolute of his
mind are 170 weak proof ul fupernatural aid, which,
we bor., u ill not tot fake him in the arduous conflie).
Being, truly reniten!, he will find mercy with Con.
which, countleutly v. ith order, could not be granted
by the laws of his country.—May the untimely and
melancholy death of John Hatfield ck.nvey a legion
of warnin. and in,trii.nrin ti the gay, the thoughtlefs,

if pnlhed over by their pAfilt.l.s4 Juin will he the con-

fquadron under the command of Capt. Owiw. On
the night of the igth ult. fome of the boats went in
and cut away the pile drivers, and brought off the
buoy at the mouth of the harbour. The MJMIX ar-
rived at Deal on Thurfday WI, with three men, who
had deferted from that brig on the igth of Joh%
while at anchor ar jerfcy ; as they had the middle
watch, and one of them wa% centinel, they cut the
boat from the (tern, and carried it off with them, but
being driven into Guernsey, they were taken up as
deferters, and in the coure of a few days will be
brought to trial. L-rd Kr ITN arrived here yeller-

4. Avail then ! my boy, do not have fuch an opi-
nion of us, for I am going to give you an inflame
ait.rsjn I u ill thew you we know how to catch them
napping. Yetterday morning, in company with the
Cr It Skil US, IN-ottar, and Minx gun brigs,we took
a tithing boat off Granville. The fellow in her told
us of an expedition fitting out againft Jerfey, and in
the night would pilot the boats into a creek, where
a number of them were lying, and affured us we
could either take or dettroy them. Accordingly, the
fignal for Loats, manned and armed, was made by
the Commodore. Our large cotter, with the Pirll
Lieutenant, a Midfhipman, and twelve men, were
fent on board the CEREERVS ; feven boats flioved
off from her at nine P. M. and rowed towards the
(bore ; at five A. M. they returned with four prizes.
After having patted feveral batteries, and gone two
miles up St. %Titre Creek, they boarded them, and
brought them au ay from under the fire of near Soo
troops, drawn up in a regular line, and keeping lip
a conflant fire as•our men were malting their retreat,
but all would not do, for they brought them off with-
out any lots ; but the pilot was near paying for his
villainy to his country: a mufket ball paired through
the fide of his jacket. When we can take there boats
nut of their own harbours, pray what fort of a met.
(hail we make of them when we get them in the (pen
lea ! It will puzzle;Borra►Aßrs and all his Invtnci-
bles to fend off our grape (hot."
