PRINCLSIM. Her MAJeSTY. Princess'Ettza 'ern, and Lady 'Lenart. aa, took as airing, in a barouche, to Salthill, Maidenhead, &c. and returned about two o'clock. A letter from Weymouth, dated August SO, says, 't Our Jersey Correspondent informs us that Capt. Bosweas., of the gut-brig Conquest, put in the 28th inst. for shelter ; says, he spoke a neutral from France, who told him, that they made so sore of peace when he sailed, that they began to fit out their merchant ships." .. " Capt. Taunts, of His MAlrsr eli packet Rover, from Guerns- , Wings intelligence of the captifretif three Frenc sloops, by whom it is strongly reported, that reliminaties well! actually signed at Paris the day before theyoseretaken, being the 25th inst. They were taken by the Kent gun-brig." ‘i The Lark sloop of war, wills several vessels ender convoy, from Africa and Barbadoes, arrived at Jamaica on the 3ii of July. . ss . The Pseer, Wtstaa ay, from Mogadorelor London, has foundered at sea. The Avon sloop of war has passed Torbay, on her way to America, having on board the Honourable D. M.

He tnuk under his convoy the air Step/tea Loorhington and the Earl Spencer Ea't Indiamen, two whalers, and four store ships. The gallant Admiral r.ndeavoured to tail with his convoy on the 20th ult. but was forced to put back again by contrary winds. The late friends of WILLIAM FRAIL) and Jolla's-matt Raise, Esquires, in the botough of St. Ives, who, upon those Gentlemen resigning their interest there, premised their support to Sir Cmairroritee Halve.% es, Bait. and SA WAIL STILPHINS, Esq. were regaled last week, in a sumptuous manner, by the latter gentlemen, who appear confident in their etronsgth. A few days ago, Colonels MONT(IOI4rItY and Sims, the rival Candidates of Sir C. and Mr. S. also arrived at St. Ives, to pay their respe&s to their friends in the boronh : some of whom were so overjoyed at their appearance, as to take the horses from their carriage, and draw them into the town. Upon this occasion, we are sorry to add, that a youth fell under the wheel of the carriage, and had his leg broken. Disturbances of a serious nature prevailed in the beginning of June, between the Indians of the back settlements of Georgia, and the Americans in that quarter. The troops, it appears, had been withdrawn from Louisville, in which there were a number of Indians, who soon after became refractory ; and some Kickapoos threatened to kill all the women and children. One of them, in a state of intosication, went out with this determination, and meeting with Judge Moans, struck at his head with a tomahawk, wl ich was turned off by his hat. 'Uhe Judge seized the Indian, and, drew his knife half out of the scabbard; at this instant, a young Irian named HAMMOND, shot the Indian through the back with a pistol ; but, instead of minding it, he appeared more resolved to kill the Judge. HA maroon then drew his dirk, and stabbed the Indian twice, on which he f.-11 dead. This circumstance has excited the wrath of his tribe, and serious conseqtrences are apprehended. Mr. Haussoon will be obliged to stand his trial for the murder. The Indian; have, in the mean time, retaliated, by killing several white people. At the late Assizes fcr die county of Westmoreland, much to the cr.• IA of th,- cou lot, there were only two l's r .•-.-.s ; r.: il the Grand Jury did not' find true ii.l: ..z, ,inst a Et,an of them.
