The story copied from the Bath Papers, with the

being picked op at sea, is now said by the Ministerial
Papers to be a fabrication.

Dieppe is ip the possession of the English, and the
road from that port to Paris is perfectly clear and
safe. Thus it is probable that the reinforcements
for the English Army will henceforth be sent via
Dieppe, instead of the present circuitous route by
Flanders.

There is a report that 5000,0 f our troops in India,

prove unfounded.

A Correspondent bas sent us the following recipe,
by which, he says, it may be ascertained whether
wine is pure or infected:—'Fake of the Sopertartrate
of Potass two drachms, of the Sulphqret of Potass
lone drachm, dissolve them in two ounces of common
wetur and shake them well together frequently;
keep the mixture well corked. When the powder
has subsided and the liquor becomes clear, pour it
into a clean phial; keep it light stopped for use.
Fifteen or twenty drops are to be mixed in a glass of
the suspected wine; if it turns blackish or turbid
and deposits a dark-coloured settlement, it may be
considered as certain that there is some deleterious
article in it, hut not otherwise. This may be done
without injuring the vinous fluid in any degree.
A very melancholy circumstance occurred at Chat.

half past six o'clock. The cook• of the Texel matt

On the morning above mentioned, he was about to go
alongside the Achilles for that purpose, but as she was
to be old off on the morrow, all boats of thistle-
cription were forbidden to come near the ship. Un.
fortunately this poor fellow, either from ignorance
or otherwise, was not observant of the orders given,
and was in consequence fired on by the marine on
duty, and the ball passed. directly through his head;
he immediately fell and expired: the whole of the
affair was seen from the dock-yard.. The oars felt
overboard, and the boat drifted till many surround.

head and stomach. Previously to the day, of his
death he had kept his bed for nearly a week; but on
the day of the final result, he remarked, that he felt
himself much better ; the attack wet instantane-

choly event.

An extraordinary transaction, which is staled to
lave taken place oil the coast of Georgia, it the
month of April last, is become the subject of general
animadversion. It is said that about 150 negroes,
who had joined our army in consequence of Sir 4.
Coctia %welt Proclamation, were restored by an
Officer of rank to their original owner, contrary to
the faith of that Proclamation. Several British
Officers who were present strongly remonstrated
against the restoration, which they regarded not only
as a breach of national honour, bat as the result of
undue partiality, while the poor Blacks themselves,
among whom were several females, deprecated the
act with the most piteous lamentations, especially as
to the fate that awaited them from the resentment of
the owner whom they had been induced to desert, as
Well from the experience of harsh treatment as from
a natural reliance upon the pledge of a British Ad-
miral. That resentment those unhappy beings have
no doubt severely felt. But the whole of this trans-
action is of such a nature as to call loudly for en-
tclry. It certainly appeals with peculiar force to
the benevolent Advocates for the Abolition of the
Slave Trade, by some of nhom it will, we trust, be,
brought under the consldcatiou of Parliament.

There is nn truth in the statement copied from a
Canterbury Paper, respecting the arrival of the Fly
sloop of war in the Downs, wifh one of BONAPARTE'S
General's on board, and the surrender of the supposed
Officer to the French Government.

Fifteen hundred wounded French soldiers ere di..

in the neighbourhood of Portsmouth.
It Is reported that the French Government have
it in contemplation to raise a auto of money by Lot-
tery, for assisting the Parisians to meet the requisi-
tions made by the Allies; in whioh case the Scheme
and plan of Drawing will be modelled nynn
We are not surprised that they should condescend to
