On Sunday, towar's noon, another staff-officer with a trumpeter arrived before the gate of Bofch, and was again conducted to the comajandant, to fummon the city again. threatening to reduce the place to athes, and to put the whole garrifon to the fword. After this the first council of war was held, and towards night a major with a trumpeter was dif patched to the French general, who remained with the French all night, and did not retura ti. Monday morning, when we heard that the cap tulation was made. We were then informed, that the garrifon should march out with all the honours of war, each battalion with two field-pieces, to Bofch, Thiel, Bommid, and Utrecht, with perfect liberty to remain in the fervice of the state, and to fight against any enemy. In Virtue

of this capitulation, this afternoon, about four o'clock, the battalion of Orange Naffau, with a part of that of Dam, marched, drums beating, colours flying, and two fi-ld-pisces, through the gate of Bofch. At three o'clock about 450 men, infantry and cuiradiers, entered this place from the French camp. Fortunately few lives have been lot. burgher was killed by a bomb, and an apo thecary's wife dangerovfly wounded. The garrifon have not loft a fingle man.

Turin, Feb. 16. Intelligence has been received here, that, on the 27th of January, the French fquadron in the Galph of Cagliari, confifting of 20 or 11 fhips, of which four were bomb veffels, aus foven this of the line, having approached the city of Cigliari, began to bombard it, and were ca fwered by a brifk firing of red hot bails. This attack was continued for three days, when the flips retired out of the reach of the catinon, but without quitting the Guiph. Several of the thips were damaged in their rafts and rigging, and one was fet on fire by a red-hot ball, but by the timely adiflance of the others the fire was extinguifhed. bombs produced no effect but up n the fuburbs below the city, and only five men were killed. During the cannonading the French attempted to land in feveral places to procure provifions; but they were every where repulted by the militia, and loft upwards of Gaz. 500 men.

WEST-INDIA INTELLIGENCE.

Kinghten, Jamaica, Jan. 12. Notwithstanding the great number of New negroes lately imported, the high price is still maintained: a cargo, configned to Melf. Lindo and Lake, was fold by them laft Monday, at Old-Harbour, in the short space of four hours, at an average of 551. fterling per head; and on Thursday a gentleman in this town paid 700l. for seven women. The cargo of the fhip, Princess Royal, confifting of 459 Eboes, lately fold here by Meff. Lindo and Lake, averaged 581. fterling per head.

King flown, St. Vincent's, Jan. 26. Tuefday evening his Majefty's thip Providence, Capt. Bligh, with the Affiftance brig, Lieut. Portlock,

arrived here from Otaheite, with the bread-fruit plants. Thefe velfels failed from England the 2d of Auguft, 1791, arrived at Otaseite the roth of April following, where they remained till the 19th of July, and having effected the object of their voyage, left that ifland in perfect health, and arrived at St. Helena the 17th of December, from whence they had only a fhort paffage of twenty-feven days here. This voyage has been fo far completed in the fort space of eighteen months; and it must afford no small pleasure and fatisfaction to the inhabitants of this part of the world, to learn that no lefs than 300 bread-fruit plants have been landed here, in excellent order, for the purpofe of being diftributed among the different islands. The remainder of the plants, amounting to an equal number, are intended for the ifland of Jamaica, whither Capt. Bligh will proceed in a day or two, and from thence return to England. Independent of the bread-fruit, a number of other valuable plants are brought by Captain Bligh, fome of the most delicious fruits. Captain Bligh has on board two men, natives of Otaheite, going to England with him. The Captain went out and returned by the Cape of Good Hope: he alfo, in his return, called at Timor, and came through the heretofore unexplored ftrait between New Guinea and New Holland, which we understand has been named Providence Straits. This paffage is mentioned to be extremely perilous, and inftead of being (as was fuppofed and laid down) clear and open, was full of thoals, rocks, and fmall iflands. The Providence and Affiftance were repeatedly in the most imminent danger of being GEST. MAG. Much, 1793.

loft,and, though the distance in good fea-room' might be run in a couple of days, fo flow was their progrefs, that it took twenty-one to get through it: at times, they could not rnn more than five miles a day, and they loft fome anchors. Some of the islands in this Strait are inhabited, and a communication was had with the natives, who appeared friendly; but on a fudden a number of canoes put off, and, approaching close to the Affiftance, threw in a volley of arrows, by which one man was killed, and two defperately wounded; they, however, retired very precipitately, on the Providence firing on them, and ftriking one of the canoes, by which forme were killed. It was in_thi Strait that the Pandora frigate was loft; and it is conjectured that M. de la Peyrefc perished there. Only one man died of difeafe during the voyage: indeed the healthy appearance of every person belonging to the two veffels is remarkable.

Dublin, Feb. 21. As a party of the Dublin Rangers, Volunteer corps, were pailing through Capel-street, under arms, they were accofted by the High Conftable of the Dublin Police, attended by one of the Infpectors, who, feizing one of them, attempted to apprehend him; this was refented by one of the Volunteer's comrades by a stroke with the butt-end of his firelock. The Volunteers then proceeded to a tea-houfe at Drumcondra, where they had agreed to breakfait. In the mean time the Police-officer went to the caftle, where a ftrong guard from the Fi quet barrack, in the lower yard, and the horse troop, was immediately turned out, and a magiftrare being procured to head then, they proceeded to refent the outrage com. mitted on the peace-officer; for which purpofe they marched to Drumcondra, pafling the houfe where the Volunteers were at breakfast: thefe laft, prudently availing themselves of the inattention of the militar marched quietly back to town and difperfed. Thus ended an affair that for three hours Alled Dublin with inexpreffible anxiety.

The infatuated banditti, ftyled Defenders, still continue their predatory incurfions, note withstanding the checks they have received, particularly that effected by the attack made upon them on Saturday the 16th inft. by a party of the 17th regiment of dragoons, under the command of Lord Blaney, at Creigan, in the county of Armagh. Their numbers and refources, however, it is though", have been magnified in many refpects: that of their poffering cannon has proved to have no foundation; three or four pieces of ordnance, it is true, have been dug up near the fea-fhore; but they were neither the property of, nor intended for, the Defenders, but the guns of fmuggling c tters, which the crews of thefe vefels are in the practice

of

of thus concealing from the Revenue-officers until they are on the point of failing.

Letters from the county of Kerry inform us, that the White Boys in that part of the kingdom have renewed their nocturnal depredations, and affemble in great numbers, to the terror of the peaceable inhabitants.

Marsh 6. Sixteen gentlemen belonging to the Lawyers Volunteer corps, in coloured clothes, on horfeback, each attended by two fervants, brought the cannon belonging to their body, from its park at Clandalkin, to the Caftle, where it was received from them by a detachment of the royal regiment of Artillery, drawn up for the purpose at the Ordnance gate; when, after paying thefe gentlemen military honours, they were politely entertained at breakfast by Capt.

Packenham.

Laft Saturday a party of Horfe, under the direction of the chief commiffioner of Police, marched from this city to the foundery of Mr. Heavifide, at Mill-town, where they feized a quantity of cannon-ball, which on inquiry was found to be the property of Government, and caft by an order of the Ordnance Board. However, it was thought proper, for the honour of the force engaged on this expedition, for the better fecurity of the fhot, to bring it in open carts to town, and lodge it in his majefty's arfenal in Dublin Castle.

Belfast, March 22. For the fecurity of the packet-boats between Donaghadee and Fort Patrick, each of them is to be armed with two long three-pounders and eight swivels, befides mufquetry and boarding pikes.

We have authority to fay, that 215 rounds of cannister fhot, filled for fix-pounders, were taken out of the river Lagon, near Lisburn, and lodged in the artillery stores there on the 15th inft. They could not have belonged to the Lifburn guns, which are only three-pounders. Refpecting the cannon-fhot found at Lifburn, it is an extraordinary fact that it was thrown into clear-water, of little depth, and in a place fo much frequented, that it could not fail to be seen.

PORT NEWs.

Portfmouth, March 11. The Spitfire floop, Capt. Durham, and Echo, the Hon. Capt.. Jones, with the additional officers and feamen, are gone to man the gun-boats in Holland, of which Capt. Durham is appointed commodore. The officers, as well as feamen, appointed to this fervice of danger and honour, are all picked men, and there can be no doubt will be liberally rewarded.

Yesterday the Vulcan's jolly boat, with the mafter and four feamen, when under tow of a long boat, were fwamped at Spithead, and Mr. Wilfon, the master of the Vulcan, and one feaman, were drowned-the other three were faved. Mr. Wilfon had not been above five minutes in the water before he was picked up, and immediately carried on board the Alligator, where the means prefcribed by the Humane Society were perfevered in, though without fuccefs.

Ferfey, March 16. We are here in a state of perpetual alarm: the greatest exertions we know are making in France to invade this lfland and Guernsey. No doubt, the French are eager to take both thefe places; because it would fhew Europe, notwithstanding the boafted fuperiority of the British fleet, they have been able to wrest from England, in the face of her Navy, these Islands, which have been attached to her from the days of William the Conqueror, now above feven centuries. We are, however, well prepared for their reception: and we firmly believe that, except by furprize, agaiuft which we will take care to guard, they cannot fubdue us. The coaft is strongly fortified with batteries of enormous weight of metal; and the Englith frigates are perpetually cruising between us and the fhores of France: but, after all, our fureft defence is that broad chain of rocks which embraces e ifland, and the ftormy billows which break upon their craggy tops. The English government has been very kind and active in protecting us: befides the fips of war, we have two regiments of regulars, as fine troops as ever were feen, and about four thousand of the militia of the inland. Thefe gallant men are nobly united in the glorious caufe; and they burn with the defire of engaging the French Murderers, as they call them, fhould they attempt the expected invafion. The Emigrants who are here are not at all afraid : if we are attacked, the Commandant General win arm them; and we are certain of the hap

pieft effect from their indignation against their merciless countrymen. We have undoubted intelligence from our cruifers, that a large fleet of flat-bottomed boats, loaded with troops, and protected by fix frigates, failed from St. Malo three days ago-but were obliged to put back by the high and contrary winds. A vaft number of skyrockets were thrown up along the French coafts, and fires were made in different parts; all which indicates fome great fcheme in agitation. We juft now learn that a powerful fleet of men of war has failed from Breft, and is now in the chops of the Channel. We conjecture (and certainly with very ftrong probability) that it is the defign of this fquadron to divert the attention of the English, while the armament of St. Malo attempts a defcent upon thefe iflands.

Portsmouth, March 22. The Falcon floop of war, Capt. Biffett, which arrived from Jamaica, captured, off Uinant, a French privateer. Capt. Biffett was not apprized of a war between this country and France, till he fell in with the above privateer, who bore down upon the Falcon; but, perceiving her to be a neop of war, the immediately hauled her wind, and fired her stern chafes. Capt. Biffett, aftonished at this conduct, inftantly ftood after her, and coming up with her, demanded the reafon of fuch conduct; when he was told by the Commander of the privateer, "that France had declared war against all the world." The Falcon then fired a few guns, and the Frenchman ftruck her colours, and was taken poffeffion of by the Falcon. March 25. A caufe of the greatest importance to the Yarmouth herring fishery was letermined before Mr. Baron Perryn, wherein Mr. John Sayers, a confiderable fishing merchant at Yarmouth, was plaintiff, and Mr. Henry Barrett, the mafter of a fithing-boat, defendant.-This action was brought to recover a fatisfaction in damages for an injury done to the plaintiff's boat-nets, by the defendant's improper management of his veffel, in neglecting to hoift the ufual fignals at the time of fhooting his nets.Verdict for the plaintiff, damages 51.

COUNTRY NEWS.

Barnet, Feb. 25. The houfe of Mr. Adam the Architect, in this neighbourhood, in the abfence of the family, was attacked in the early part of last week by a banditti, for the evident purpofe of committing depredations. The husbandry bailiff was alarmed, and difcovered them; on which he fired amongst thm, and killed one of the gang. A few evenings afterwards, a party of thirteen ruffians returned to their charge. The Bailiff was again alarmed, fired amongst them, and killed two. On the 2d of March four perfons, genteely dreffed, called on Lorf back at Mr. Adam's houfe, and addreffed the Bailiff, who was by their conMerfation drawn to fome ditance from the

house, by answering questions, and makiag remarks on the grounds. The party then having by their manner unguarded all fufpicion, they took an opportunity of fhooting him, and left him for dead on the spot at two o'clock in the afternoon. He furvived, however, fome days; and it was discovered, before his death, that the story was fabricated, and that he was his own affatlinator.

March 2. The heavy gale of wind on this day did much damage in various parts of the kingdom; at Sheffield a great part of that venerable remains of antiquity, Sheffield Manor, was blown down. In the neighbourhood many stanks were blown down, and feveral barns, &c. unroofed. At Laughton-en-le-Morthern, feveral yards of the lofty elegant fpire of the church, which was a pleafing object for many miles in the furrounding country, were blown down, and, falling on the roof, did much damage alfo to the infide. At York, and in the neighbourhood, it was feverely felt-a mill at Naburn was blown down, and a barn at Stocktonlane; eight trees upon the new walk were torn up; alfo that remarkable large ash-tree at Brundel Afh, which has stood many a violent ftorm, was torn from its place. At Manchester, one of the fpires of the collegiate church fell upon the roof of that noble structure, and did great mifchief to the interior part of the building, but did no other harm. Another fpire fell into the churchyard; a ftack of chimneys fell upon a house in Deanfgate, and unfortunately killed the fervant who flept in the attick ftory. At Newark, a factory for weaving cotton, helonging to Meffrs. Hardcastle and Walker, was entirely thrown down, and, falling upon a great number of looms, totally destroyed them, and greatly injured the unfinished pieces. This accident will be feverely felt by the poor weavers, as they will be entirely thrown out of employ. At Fofton, near Newark, two barns were blown down, and feveral trees torn up by the roots. At Nottingham part of the gable end of Mr. Flint'sTM houfe, on Brightmore-hill, was blown down and fome large ftones were blown from the top of the county-hall, and part of the roof of the barracks was entirely stripped off. At Derby, and parts adjacent, many walls, hay-ricks, trees, &c. were laid low. A cotton mill-was much damaged near Burton-upon-Trent. Many ftacks of chimneys, feveral roofs, and a wool warehouse, were blown down at Gainfbro', and, falling on the roof, forced a part of it in, and killed Mifs Sally Moorfom, who was in bed in the room which it penetrated.
