October 14th, 1782




THURSDAY's POST.

Paris, Sept.20 The following, Sir, is the deplorable detail of some disasters which have happened at the siege of Gibraltar.
"On the 9th inst. the land batteries began to play on the garrison. A well-directed and well-sustained fire made some progress every day. It was not doubted as soon as the floating batteries began to fire, Gibraltar would be obliged to capitulate.
"On the 13th eleven floating batteries were ready to attack the place of the sea side; they carried in the whole 193 brass cannon, and above 140 others for ballast and exchange, of the calibre of 24 pounders.
"The whole firing at once from the land side, and that of the sea, afforded the most terrible and horrid spectacle: success did not appear doubtful, but about 11 o'clock the English began to fire red hot falls, 110 pieces of cannon pouring forth incessantly a shower of fiery bullets, put the batteries in the most horrible disorder. Three of the floating batteries blew up, with every thing in them. The rest endeavoured to cut their cables, in order to retire, but in vain, the ropes, masts, sails, were all burnt. It was impossible to get away, and the shower of incendiary bullets still continued. Boats were sent as fast as possible to save the crews. The Prince of Nassau, who performed prodigies of valour, and who had lost the greatest part of his men, jumped, with several officers, into one of the boats, and 152 men belonging to his battery got into another; and the instant when the latter was moving off, a bomb fell in the midst of it, and the boat sunk, without a single man being saved. The next day four other floating batteries were blown up; and at eight o'clock the eleventh was set on fire, and instantly consumed. The loss of men is estimated at 1500 or 2000.
"This terrible check hath not discouraged the besiegers; they are preparing to carry the place by assault, and the soldiery are not dismayed at it. The fire still continues furiously on the land side.
"The combined fleet is in the Bay of Algesiras; it is difficult for the garrison to receive any succours; the English fleet is advancing; it will probably arrive before the end of this month, and then another dreadful scene will be exhibited."

Extract of a letter from Kidwelly, in Carmarthenshire, Oct1, 1782.

"A few days since some villains broke into the vestry-room of our parish church, and stole the whole of the plate used in administering the sacrament, with which they got clear off. However, one of them who offered a gilt cup for sale the next day to Mr.Edwards, a silversmith, in Swansea, was immediately secured by him, and taken before a magistrate of that town, and after an examination of near three Hours, committed to Carmarthen gaol. His name appears to be Evan Jones, and that he was formerly a servant at the Ivy Bush, Carmarthen. None of the other villains are yet found, tho' strict search is making after them."

Married.-At Eglingham, in Northumberland, William Routh, Esq; of the Middle Temple, to Miss Carr, daughter of Thomas Carr, Esq; of Eshot, in Northumberland.
Died.--About a fortnight ago, at Hurley-Hall, near Atherstone, in Warwickshire, greatly advanced in years, the Rev.Mr.Jackson, one of his Majesty's justices of the peace, and rector of Witley Magna, in the county of Worcester. We hear that he has left an estate for the institution of a new Professorship in the University of Cambridge, and the encouragement of the physic gardens there.-- Saturday, at Barton, near Stafford, aged 78, the Rev. Mr. Walter Collins. --Tuesday, at Bristol, Miss Coleman, of Newington-Butts.

IRELAND.

Dublin, Sept. 28. The Dublin corps of volunteers, who assembled yesterday in Eustace-street, resolved against the measure of the Fencibles; which is a confirmation of what was lately asserted, that his Grace of Leinster had refused, when solicited, to accept the command of a Fencible regiment. His Grace has publicly declared, he never would have voted for withdrawing the 5000 troops, but from a firm persuasion that the volunteers of Ireland were fully adequate to the defence of their county.
An order was yesterday made by the Privy-Council, to encourage a colony from Geneva to settle in this country. Some of the most respectable citizens from that oppressed republic have been soliciting an asylum in this rising land of liberty, for a number of their Inhabitants, who give the preference to Ireland, and propose to bring with them the arts and manufactures that have so long rendered that city the envy of Europe.

SATURDAY's POST,
Yesterday Day arrived the Mails from Holland, France and Flanders.
Paris, Sept. 27.

A Courier is arrived here from the Comte d'Artois, who left the camp on the 14th current, and brings a journal, from which the following are extracts:-
"THE 13th, at seven in the morning, the floating batteries left Puenta Maillorca, and at half past nine anchored within 250 toises of the place, under the enemy's fire, between the Old and New Moles; this was the boldest manoeuvre ever done by sea; from this moment the fire from the lines, the floating batteries, and the rock, cannot be described by words.
"14th. All is lost but honour. The floating batteries, which were bomb and cannon proof, are at this moment all on fire, and many lives lost, particularly on board that of the Prince de Nassau, who is himself in a most wonderful manner preserved unhurt; never was the courage of the two nations more conspicuous than at this unlucky attack.
"The 14th, at noon, all the floating batteries were either sunk or blown up; the number of men lost is reckoned to be from 1200 to 1500; the red-hot balls and bombs pierced through the batteries.,"
Half an hour after the arrival of the courier who brought these dispatches, a courier arrived from Spain, who had left the camp before Gibraltar on the 17th. He brings word that the Duke de Crillon, according to an accurate list, makes out that there were 71 Spaniards, and 35 French killed on the sea side, in the attack of the gun-boats, and about 200 wounded,

The house of Major Burghall on Ham Common was lately attempted to be broke open: the Major was absent; but on the alarm being given by Mrs.B, the villains made off; not, however, without so much fright on Mrs.B that she instantly miscarried. The rogues, on being thus driven from Major Burghall's, next went to Lady Chedworth's, where they stole a vast number of remarkable poultry, such as Guinea fowls, Asiatic ducks, and foreign pigeons. On the return of Major B. he was a course informed of all these circumstances; and not long after coming again to London, in his walk through Saville-row he was accosted by a fellow with a large basket of very fine poultry, which he was offering for sale. The Major suspecting the man, conducted himself accordingly; he bought the whole basket of poultry, and expressing a with to be a large customer in future, artfully got from the man his place of abode. The birds were found to be those that had been stolen from Lady C. The fellow therefore was apprehended, and committed to take his trial for the robbery.

Wednesday the Recorder made his report to his Majesty of 25 convicts under sentence of death in Newgate, when the following were ordered for execution on Tuesday next, viz. Henry Barthaud, for a fraud; William Jones, for stealing a quantity of goods; Peter Verrier, for a burglary; William Odem, for a robbery in Spa Fields; Charles Woollet, for a highway robbery; John Graham, for altering a Bank note, with intent to defraud; Charlotte Goodall and John Edmonds, for stealing a quantity of plate, &c.; John Weatherby and John Lafee, for coining.-- Fifteen were respited during his Majesty's pleasure.

Extract of a letter from London, Saturday Evening.

"The advices which have arrived this week from the East Indies are of a very agreeable nature, and promise to be soon followed with more substantial good news. What I can collect from the private letters, is as follows:-
"The Sultan and Magnanime men of war, were safe arrived at Madras, with the Company's ships under convoy. The French fleet had luckily left that coast the day before their arrival, and were gone to the Mauritius to refit the damages sustained in' their at action with Sir Edward Hughes. The French had landed about 1400 men, who had joined Hyder Alli. By our fleer which was arrived, Sir Eyre Coote would receive a reinforcement of Lord Seaforth's regiment of Highlanders, which would give him 800 as good soldiers as ever went from Europe. Sir Eyre Coote was pursuing his operations against Hyder Alli. Everything was quiet and peaceable in Bengal; 55 lacks of rupees were arrived, and 75 more lacks were said to be on the road; which is supposed to be the treasure found at Bejye Ghur, the capital of Cheyt Sing's country. This supply had made money plenty again; with it, and the money and merchandize taken at the Dutch factory of Chinsura, the Company were provided for the shipping investments for this and the next year. The ship Valentine was dispatched, and sailed for Europe on the 11th of April. - From Poonah (the Mahratta Court) they write, that the Mahrattas are thoroughly tired of the war, and have given full powers to their Minister to concede a peace with Mr. Anderson, the British Resident there. They say further, that the Nizam (Soubah of the Decan) and the other nations bordering on the English possessions, are so jealous of Hyder Alli's growing power, and his connections with the French, that they are desirous of uniting against them. Some letters add, that Hyder Alli, conscious of this rising opposition, was desirous to strike up a peace with us, and had actually made some overtures to Sir Eyre Coote.


"The Parnassus, which was the finest ship in the Jamaica fleet, belonging to Mess. Longs and Drake, of this city, and laden with 700 hhds. of sugar, beside other goods, was taken by the French after the violent storm; but we have the satisfaction to hear this day, that she is retaken by the Viper privateer, of Liverpool, and brought in there.
