By vessel that has arrived in Standgate Creek
.from Malta. we have received accounts tram Gibr.tl-
- tar to the 27th ultimo. Sixty-J.ollr merchantmen had
arrived in the bay, from Malta; a few days before the
above vessel came away. The exchange at Gibraltar
had fallen from 4Sli to 40, in consequence of the am.
ple supply of dollars which had been brought to Cadiz
by the Minho, from Vera Cruz, both on account of
Government and the merchants. No farther intelli-
gence had transpired at Gibraltar, either from Cadiz
or from the interior of Spain.

apprehension of war great distrust prevailed in um-

Letters from Prussia continue to speak of the pro-
bability of war between Russia and France, and ono
of them expressly says, " The die it cart : war is inevi-
talde." In corroboration of this account, it is asserted
in numerous letters, that preparations are making at
Eylau for the reception of the French Emperor ; and
that. All army is forming in that neighbourhood, to
consist of French, Poles, and Germans. In the neigh-
bourhood of Koningsburg is a force of 25,000 Prus-
sians, wholly devoted to the purposes of BONAPARTE.
On the 26th and 27th ultimo, 15,000 men marched
through Stettin, on their way to Dantzic, which had
within its walls 10,000 French, and in the counttr
adjacent 30,000 more. • At Warsaw a military depot
had been established, arid an army of 20,(X)0 n.cn
collected, which was daily. augmenting. •

The conquest of the last colonies Of France, the
important islands of Mauritius and Bourbon, is said
to have been attended with' a discovery of the most
painful, and, we have the consolatiOn to sey, urpre-
cedonted nature—several hundr:di of our countrymen
serving in the French jarriio'n. These men, consisting
originally of British seamen and British soldiers, cap-
tured and carried into these islands by French criii-
•ters, are supposed to have been induced, partly by
briber, and partly by menaces, to enter into the French
service. The Admiralty has thought proper to order
16 of them, now in Britain, to be brought to•triel with
all convenient speed.

Accounts from New York state, that two French
privateers, supposed to have been fitted out at New
Orleans, 'were cruizing off the t• oast of Florida, and
had lately captured a Spanish brig on her passage
from Vera Cruz to Pensacola, with 20,000 dollars on
hoard.

tunate accident.
Tuesday morning Colonel and Mrs. M‘Manoe left
town for Cheltenham.
Set jeant BEST recently purchased the Great Tythes

Fife burghs, in the room of the Right Hon. Sir JOHN

elected.
Boston has again become a scene of election merri-
ment—Mr. Dammam) BURRELL, and Mr. LINDSAY
Beeriest., arrived therefrom Grimsthorpe Castle, last
week, and renewed their canvas amongst the freemen ;
but it was not declared which of the Gentlemen would
be the candidate at the time of the election. This
circumstance gives weight to the rumour which is
current, that Mr. DRUMMOND Buttazu. has an inten-
tion of offering himself for the county. Mr. ntemoces
arrived at Boston on Tuesday evening, and renewed
his canvas. Sir Anttauarst Home was also expected.
A cartel is to sail far France without delay. The

Birth-day, last Tuesday, at Ranelagh, Milibank, gavw
universal satisfaction to one. of the most crouded and
elegant assemblage. we ever witnessed.
Yestetday a match against time took place inßushy
Park; a gentleman, Mr.W. recently from Scotland,
undertook to go 14 miles in two hours, the first eight
of which he performed the first hou4 and at the con-
clusion had ten minutes to spare. It was for 1000
guineas. The match was made only the day before,
and the Gentleman was much out of condition.
Friday se'nnight, at the fair of Shruel, county of
of Limerick, a most dreadful conflict took place be-
tween two factions, or rather the tenants of two Gen.
tlemen in the neighbourhood, who foe the tut two
years frequented the fairs held in that town, for the
purpose of deciding their bog's, or, awaking in more
applicable terms, of destaling each other, which
was not suppressed until upward** 20 pet sons were
most severely beaten, two or three of them so dread-
fully, that their lives are despaired of.
At Norwich Cattle Market on Saturday lit, there
was a good strew of store sheep and lambs, and they
sold readily, the latter from £l6 to 414 per score ;
a middling shew of Scotch beasts, and several lots
were sold at about Bs. per stone. There was more fat
beef than has lately appeared ; 10s. 6d. per stone was
readily obtained, but several graziers refused selling
at that price. Fat mutton and lamb were plentiful,
and sold from Bd. to Sid. per lb. ; plenty of fat pork
It Bs. 6d. per stone. Lean pigs sold very high. At
the Corn-market, several samples of wheat were
thewn, and high prices wired, but we did not hear of

While the orderly men of the 18th Light Dragoons
were changing guard yesterday morning, as usual, at
the Horse Guards, the corporal's horse of the party
to be relieved became extremely restive, and forced
Iris way into the covered passage leading to the sta-
bias, notwithstanding 211 the efforts of his rider, where,
tearing and plunging, he fell back his whole length
on theenfortunate corporal, who was taken up almost
lifeless. From the rolling of the horse he was severe-
ly bruised, and some of his bones were supposed to
be fractured. There was unfortunately no medical
man in attendance, and it was therefore souse time be.
fore any assistairce could be procured.
DREADFUL ACCIDENT.—A. watchman, in theneigh-
bourhood of Golden-square, in going his rounds early
on Sunday morning last, discovered a man suspended
by the leg from the top of an iron railing. He im-
mediately gave an alarm, and the unfortunate sufferer
was conveyed to Middlesex Hospital, in a state of in.
sensibility. The propel remedies having been resorted
to, the poor fellow became for a short time sensible,
daring which he gave the following account of him-
self;--His name, be said, is Joseph Harvey. About
four years ago he accompanied a Gentleman to India,
with whom he had recently returned to this country.

A England, was living with a paramour, with whom
he had been acquainted previous to his leaving his
native country. He had not called on nor molested
her in the slightest degree, being determined to treat
her with tour contempt. On Saturday evening he

He imagined that the man with whom his wife was
then living stood at his bed-side with a pistol in his
hand, and threatened to take his life. In a parokyor.
ei terror he started from his bed, threw open the
yeindow, and jumped on'. The spike of the tailing
had entered the calf of his leg, which is torn open as
hr as the anat. The progress of the wound was here
stopped by one of the tendons, and the unfortunate
