LONDON, TUESDAY, July 12.
It was on Monday confidently asserted, that good news had arrived, via. France, from India. The report was, that the Aiguillion packet brought advices from Madras, that Tippo had given way where it was expected he would have made the most formidable stand. This news gaining general credit, raised the price of India stock.
The Island of Jersey affords an asylum to more of the French Nobilesse than any spot in Europe of equal extent. It is remarkable that none of them have visited Guernsey.
The streets of St.Hellier's town are almost as much crowded as those of London, Refugee Bishops, Cordons rouge, Croix de St.Louis, Cures, Capuchins, Monks of various orders, and Ladies with painted cheeks, meet the eye in every part, and exhibit the appearance of a French city.
The Bishops of Treguier in Brittany, and of Bayeux, in Normandy, have taken refugee there.

Extract of a Letter from Lieut. Robert Parry Young, Agent to Transports, dated on board the Albemarle Transport, April 25, 1791.
"On the 9th inst. the convicts rose upon us, with intention to massacre the Officers and Soldiers, and then take the vessel to America. Fortunately, however, they were repulsed and driven to take refuge in the hold, and in their prison room. Some of them were wounded. In the search after the ringleaders, we admitted one of them King's evidence, and he confessed the circumstances of the whole design. After they were subdued, it was unanimously agreed by the officers, myself, and the crew, that it was expedient to hang up the two ringleaders at the yardarm, which was accordingly put in execution. I imagine this punishment will deter them from any future attempt, since they have continued still, and apparently reconciled to their fate. There were no ships in sight at the time they rose. One of the ringleaders was an American. Two of the crew who were accomplices in the insurrection I have set on shore here, not considering it safe to proceed with such treacherous villains on board the ship. We are one and all armed day and night, and keep the most vigilant look-out over the convicts; six of whom have died since our departure from England. - Tomorrow we sail for St.Jago, the place of general rendezvous; there we shall stay a few days, and then then take our departure for South Wales."
The following is an account of the loss of the ship Neptune, of Leith, in Greenland, on the 23d of May last :
On the 21st of May, the ship was lying at a field of ice, in length 40 or 50 miles; another nearly the same size drifting down by a gale of wind at the same time. On Saturday night, at ten o'clock, the 21st, the two fields met directly at the spot where the ship was lying, which squeezed her with such violence, that in half an hour they observed the water above the first tier of casks in the hold; at the same time the ship's company were employed sawing a dock for the ship; but the pressure being so hard, jammed the ice saws, which rendered every effort of that kind ineffectual. The water still continued to rush into the ship in such a manner, that at twelve o'clock it was within a foot of the lower deck beams. They immediately hoisted a signal of distress at the top-mast-head for assistance from about 50 sail of Dutch and English ships near them; but all being in such a dangerous situation could give little help. By the assistance they received; and getting two more pumps from the other ships; they kept the ship from sinking till Monday noon, when the ice slacked. As the principal leak was not far under water, they tried every means to stop it; cut up pieces of beef and oakum, and let them down along the side with a sail, which they found of great service; so that, in two hours after, the ship was considerably lightened. They immediately fixed an anchor on the ice, and got the ship hove down so far as to get at the place where she was most bruised, over which the carpenters nailed canvas and boards, and it was so perfectly water-tight, that the crew had every hope of saving the ship, when, at six in the evening, the ice got in motion a second time, and squeezed them with such force, that it almost cut the ship in two, and in five minutes she was so far under water, that the people who were on board were obliged to save themselves on the rigging. The Royal Bounty, of Leith, at the same time, was within ten yards, and was lifted up by the ice three or four feet; but being a sharp ship, got no damage.
The dangerous effects of what is termed a humbug, were pretty strongly exemplified on Tuesday last:-
A poor silly man, a native of Sweden, has for some time past frequented a public-house in Tottenham-court-road, where some wags, who had discovered his weakness, played off several jokes upon him: They gave him a written order to go and take possession of a man's house, where, on his arrival, he was kicked down stairs. They also gave him an order to receive money of Messrs. Pump and Handle, Aldgate, but he returned, saying, he could find no such persons ; and imprudently they at last wrote him an order on Drummond, the Banker, for six pounds, to carry him back to Sweden, but on presenting it, he was taken up on suspicion of forging' with intent to defraud- He was carried before a magistrate, where his innocence and simplicity were so evident, that he was discharged.
Lately died, at Odd Castle, Bedfordshire, Sir Rowland Alston, Bart. Being the last of that ancient family, the title is extinct.
A mine of lead, extremely valuable, has been lately discovered in the county of Kerry, Ireland, on the estate of Colonel Blennerhasset.
