publifhed in your Paper of the 18th infant fome par-
ticulars relating to the meeting which mould have
taken place between Mr. Botron and Mr. EDWARD
BROOKES, on the 9th inn. near this town. On his
Ratement I will not comment, but as my filence
might occafion an impreflion unfavourable to Mr.
BOLTON and myfelf, I feel it my duty thus publicly
to declare, that the appointment was faithfully ob-
ferved by us. Not perceiving Mr. EDWARD BROOK Rs,
or his friend, Lieut. Col. bfaxwaxx, at the Eaft end
of Mather's Dam, the ground I had fixed, and ex-
pelled them on, I placed Mr. Bovron at the fpot
molt fuited to fuch a meeting, and after the lapfe of
afeirminutes, proceeded along the Eaftern fide of the
Dam, in the courfe of which I a complete view of
every part of it. Not finding them there, or in the
field adjoining, I. immediately returned to the EaR
end of the Dam, where I remained until ten minutes
after fix o'clock, making the time we had been upon
the Ground twenty-five minutes. The other party
not appearing, I told Mr..Boxxon that I confidered
it =medial that we Gould continue there any
longer; in confequence of which we returned to town,
and-in the courfe of twenty-five minutes after I had
got home, Lieut. Colonel Maxwaxe, waited upon
me, and acquainted me with the particulars he hat
Rated in your paper—l immediately, a fbcond time,
demanded a Meeting, to take place early. the (Mim-
ing morning, which the public itre already informed
was prevented by the interference of the Magifirates.
I beg the favour of you to publifh this in your paper,
and am, your molt obedient. Servant,

As a Gentleman was carelenly Stalking on the

Happily. however, the water, which was not very

We are now enabled to give a morc corral account
of the fire at Chelmsford ; and truly melancholy as
the cataftrophe is, we are nererthelefs happy to find,
that, inftead of fifteen of the foldiers being found
burnt to death, and twenty.one miffing, as was Rated
in the former account of this afflieling event, twelve
only have been the viflims of it. By the evidence
given before the Coroner, it appeared that a party
of Hanoverians, about t2O in number, marched into
the town about two o'clock on Monday lA, and
were for convenience lodged in the houfe and Rabies
of the Dog public houfe ; that they retired to reit at
an early hour, feventy of them in particular, into a
large (table, without any other faftening to the door
than a latch ; that about eight o'clock the fame even-
ing, the premifes, where the feventy men lodged
(among whom were fume women) were eifcovered
to be in flames. Unacquainted with the ufe of a
latch, the Hanoverians were Come time before they
could open the door, but it was eafily effeEted on the
outride, and they (it was fuppofed all) made their
efcape, many of them, however, molt dreadfully
(cinched, and their clothes on fire. About twelve
o'clock the flames had completely fubfided ; and the
next morning (Tuefday) niimbeis repaired to the
fpot, who by voluntarily removing pieces of timber,
at last came to the horrid fpciftacle of part of the re-
mains of an human being! Alarmed at the light,
the rubbifh was quickly cleared. and no left than
bodies were drawn out in a mutilated Rate. too
dreadful to defcribe. One other unfortunate Hano-
verian died the next morning from the injury he re.
ceived. and feveral others continued in a doubtful
Rate ; but, marary to report, not one remains un-
accounted for. Every foul mull have perillied in the

whom the alarm of fire had been given molt pro-

them from their diftrang fitnation.
The bodies of the thirteen Hanoverian., who pe-
rifhed in the calamitous fire at Chelmsford. were
yeaerday interred with military honours. Every at-
tention has alto been paid by the Commander in
