THURSDAY's POST.
LONDON, November 27.
THE Gazette of this night contains a dispatch from Admiral Sir J.T. Duckworth, Commander in Chief of His Majesty's ships and vessels at Jamaica, announcing the capture, by the Racoon and the Franchise, of L' Alliance and L'Uranie French privateers; the former mounting 6 guns and 68 men, and the latter 3 guns and 64 men.
This morning were received French papers to the 14th inst. The dispute between Spain and America appears (as we predicted) likely to be settled without having recourse to hostilities. Bonaparte has offered his mediation, and both parties have, it is said, accepted his offer. Nothing would be more obviously repugnant to the interest of the Usurper than that Spain should be engaged in a contest with America at a time when he was determined to force the former, as much against her inclination as against her interests, into a war with Great-Britain - Spain shall therefore, we have no doubt, concede to America, for the present, the points in dispute, that Bonaparte may have the assistance of all her force against England.- Gen. Armstrong, who was appointed to succeed Mr. Livingstone as Ambassador from America to France, has arrived in Paris; and we trust that he will support the dignity of his own situation, and the honour of his country, more effectually than his predecessor. There are some contradictory reports in the French papers respecting the unfortunate General Moreau. According to one account, that General and his wife have both fallen victims to the epidemic disorder which has committed such dreadful ravages along the whole Southern coast of Spain; another (which we hope is will prove to be the correct account) states, that he and his wife had embarked for Majorca.
A letter from an officer on board the Diamond frigate, off Ferrol, states, that of the three millions of dollars which were landed in that harbour from the Spanish frigate which so narrowly escaped being captured by the Spartiate, one million and a half had already been sent, under escort, to Bonaparte by way of Bayonne.
We are sorry to be under the necessity of stating the total loss of His Majesty's ship Venerable, in Torbay. This unfortunate event happened on Saturday night. In endeavouring, with the rest of the fleet under Admiral Cornwallis, to work out, she unfortunately struck opposite Paignton Hospital, and in a few hours went to pieces. The Impeteux perceiving her signals of distress, returned to the Bay, and anchored as near to the Venerable as her own safety would allow. By the judicious and gallant exertions of Captain Martin, in sending all his boats to her assistance, we are happy to learn that the greatest part, if not the whole of the crew has been saved. On the following morning the Venerable was gone entirely to pieces, and no part of the wreck to be seen, but such as was washed upon the shore.
BENEFIT SOCIETIES.- The King versus Ing and Sanderson, -- The defendants appeared in the Court of Kings Bench on Thursday. to receive judgment upon a conviction for not obeying an order of two of the Surry Magistrates, to restore Jeremiah Young to a Benefit Society, from which his name had been erased. The cause was tried before Mr. Serjeant Runnington, who prevented the Counsel for the Defendants entering upon any defence, conceiving that the misdemeanour had not been substantiated. He informed the Jury that they ought to be satisfied the contumacy on the part of the defendants was wilful, and that they were authorised to give effect to the order of the Magistrates. In the absence of any such proof, it appeared that the defendants, who were stewards of a society called The Friendly Brothers, had not, by its constitution, the power to restore the dismissed member, and therefore could not be responsible for their disobedience ; the Jury, however, found the Defendants guilty. The learned Judge desired them to reconsider their verdict, but they persisted in returning a similar one. The opinion of the learned Judge was, that the verdict was without legal evidence, and consequently was not to his satisfaction.
Mr. Weatherall, for the prosecution, contended, that the act commonly called Mr. Dundas's act, had a two-fold object; first, to form Benefit Societies into a kind of corporation; and, 2dly, to place them under the control of the Magistrates, who had power, by the 15th section, to summon the principal officers, and compel them to re-instate any member who had been unlawfully discharged. He meant to contend, that the acts having authorised the Magistrates to issue such order, the Steward was bound immediately to re-inscribe the name of the member in the books of the society; and when that was done, he would be ipso facto restored.
The Court appeared very much to doubt whether the Steward had the power to carry the order of the Magistrates into execution, and, after the affidavits of the defendants had been read:- Lord Ellenborough observed, that as the Counsel for the defendants had been stopped from making any defence, it occurred to him that the case ought to undergo further consideration, and that a new trial should be granted.
SATURDAY's POST.
LONDON, November 29.
We can now state with accuracy the loss of men lately belonging to the Venerable. The total complement borne on her books the day she unfortunately went on shore were 555 ; the number mustered afterwards on board the Impeteux, Goliath, and on shore, was 547; so that the number missing is only eight, and four of them only are known to have suffered. We are happy to state also, that a very considerable part of stores, guns, timbers, &c. &c. will be saved, notwithstanding she fell so completely to pieces that no wreck could be discovered at the place where she took the ground.
The reports of the loss of the Romney are but too well founded. Advices have been received at the Admiralty by the Africaine, of her total loss off the Texel, and of about 20 of her men. The officers and rest of the crew were saved by the exertions of the Dutch, who treated them with the greatest attention and humanity.- Sun.
The Africaine, that brought the intelligence, was the whole of yesterday in a very precarious situation herself, being at anchor in Yarmouth roads, with the loss of her rudder and masts, and close in shore; a dreadful sea rolling, but the wind gradually abating. When the post came away it was moderate, and she seemed to ride easier.
Last week a potatoe was dug up in a field near the Castle of Douglas, part of which had grown through a gold ring, that closely embraced the neck of the protuberance. The gentleman on whose ground the curiosity was discovered brought it to Glasgow, and shewed it to his friends. The ring is old fashioned there an inscription on it in characters scarcely legible - God above inkris our love.
MONDAY's POST.
(By Express.)
LONDON, December 1.
Bonaparte had finally fixed the 2d of December for the day of his coronation.
Soon after His Majesty's arrival at Weymouth he rode out one morning a few miles from the town. His only attendants were General --, and a groom; having left them at some short distance behind, His Majesty entered a large field, in which he perceived but one solitary poor woman at work. With that condescension and benevolence which are the characteristics of true greatness, he inquired of her "How it came that she was the only person employed, where there appeared so much business to be done?" The good woman frankly answered - "That she had forty companions, but that they were gone to Weymouth to see the King; but she knew her master would stop so much of her day's pay as the time she should be absent would amount to, therefore she did not chuse to go." The King with his accustomed good humour, said, "as you did not go to see the King, when your workmates return, you may tell them the King has been to see you, " and, putting five guineas into her hand, rode off: leaving the honest countrywoman equally astonished as pleased with her illustrious but unexpected visitor.
Law Intelligence.- In the Court of King's Bench on Tuesday last, the business of the hearings of the judgment in the cafe of WYNNE versus RAIKES. This was the case of a bill of exchange, acceptance of which had been originally refused, but of which the drawee, in a letter to the drawer, written before the bill became payable, promised, there being then a greater likelihood that he would have funds of the drawers, acceptance, or certainly payment; two questions arose for the consideration of the Court. First, the letter being not an unqualified promise of acceptance, or certainly of payment? whether this was equivalent to an acceptance? Secondly, the letter having been written to the drawer, and the plaintiff, the holder, not having taken the bill on the faith of such promise, whether he was entitled to avail himself of it, and to recover payment as if it had actually been accepted? The Court were of opinion for the plaintiff in both points. As to the first, a promise by letter to accept having been found to be a good acceptance, an alternative either to accept or certainly to pay, must be equally binding. As to the second point, it had been determined that the holder of a bill was entitled to avail himself of any promise made to the drawer.
The same day Lord Ellenborough delivered the judgment of the court in the case of NICHOLSON versus WILLAN.-This action had been brought to recover the value of a parcel, sent by the coach from Leeds, by Nottingham, to London, which had been lost; it was valued at �58. It appeared that an intimation was stuck up in the coach-office, that the proprietors would not be accountable for any parcel above the value of �5. unless it was insured as such. A verdict had been taken for that sum by the plaintiff, subject however to the decision of the court. The court on reviewing all the circumstances of the case, and considering the total absence of all evidence in favour of the plaintiff's claim, contrasted with the notoriety of the defendant's intimation, were of opinion that a nonsuit ought to be entered, and the verdict set aside.
The King versus East.- Mr. Clarke applied that the defendant might be permitted to give bail, on a prosecution in the county of Lincoln, under the following melancholy circumstances:- The defendant is proprietor of a rabbit warren; he saw some men with guns on his premises, and required them to surrender, threatening, at the same time, he would fire upon them if they would not comply. They refused, took flight, and he pursued them: in the sequel, he discharged his piece, which unhappily took effect, and one of the men died.- Upon searching the place, two rabbits were found dead, and in a warm state, indicating they had just been killed.
Lord Ellenborough.- "This is a transportable misdemeanour, but I think not a felony; and, if not a felony, you had no right to bid them surrender at the peril of their lives.- I think it will be more prudent not to persevere in your motion, lest it should prejudice your client upon the trial."

LEEDS, December 3.
The extraordinary event of all the capital prizes in the last Lottery being sold in Shares, by which numbers have considerably increased their antecedent Funds, and many others been placed in a most comfortable situation, has excited a very general ardour throughout the Metropolis for adventure in the ensuing Grand Lottery. This rage will doubtless, soon spread to the Country - so that it is by no means improbable, from the unprecedented richness of the Scheme in capital Prizes, and but 25,000 Numbers only, that every Ticket may be disposed of before Christmas Day.
We are sorry to have the melancholy duty of announcing the death of Serjeant John Clapham, of the Wakefield Volunteers, whose unfortunate accident, on Heath Common, we mentioned in our last.- His remains were attended to the grave by the whole of his own company, and by 20 men from each of the other companies, and by all the officers.- An immense concourse of people also assembled to witness the awful and affecting scene - Mr.Hind, who was wounded at the same time, we are happy to hear, still continues in a fair way of recovery.
On Thursday last the body of the Rev. William Hodgson, schoolmaster, of Barwick-in-Elmet, near this town, was found in a field of Mr.Wigglesworth's, of Roundhay, in the parish of Barwick, at a small distance from the beck.-This unfortunate man had been at Leeds on Tuesday, and returning late in the evening, wandered out of his way, and it is supposed fell into the beck, and though he had sufficient strength to get out of it, yet in such an exhausted state as to be unable to rise from the ground, and he must have perished from the excessive cold and severity of the weather. -This accident is the more melancholy, as Mr. Hodgson has left behind him a large family of children, some of them in infancy.
Last Friday were admitted at the General Infirmary, 12 in and 18 Out-patients; 3 of the former being cases not admitting of delay ; at the same time were discharged 16 patients cured, and 4 relieved.
Yesterday se'nnight a collection was made at Pontefract church for the benefit of the General Infirmary in this town, which amounted to �24. 11s. 3d.- A collection was also made at Thornhill, on the 11th ult. from house to house, amounting to �25. 18s.Yesterday se'nnight collections were also made at the Parish Church and Trinity Church at Halifax, the former �28. 13s. 8d. and the latter �29. 18s. 7 1/2d.
The receipts at the Manchester theatre, for the eight nights performances of the Young Roscius, were nearly �1400. His benefit, the last time of his performing, amounted to upwards of �300. This popular youth is now arrived in London, and has already excited that eager curiosity so wonderfully evinced wherever he has been.
On Tuesday last was married, Mr. Wm. Burden, an eminent butcher, to Miss Eliza. Wadsworth, daughter of Mr.Wm. Wadsworth, of Wath, near Rotherham, maltster and farmer.
On Wednesday was married, Mr. John Harrison, of Wakefield, linen-draper, to Miss Stonehouse, daughter of the late Mr. Stonehouse, of Whitby.

The same day was married, Thomas Osbourne, Esq; of Willerby, near Hull, to Miss Smyth, daughter of the late John Smyth, Esq; of Holbeck, near this town.
It is worthy of observation, that at a late fire near Shrewsbury, a quantity of salt being added to the water in the engines, had a very great effect in extinguishing the flames.
On Friday last Eliz. Wild was committed to Wakefield House of Correction, for 12 months, by the Magistrates at our Rotation-Office, for being a lewd and disorderly woman.-- Two men were also fined in the usual penalty and costs, for wheeling their handbarrows on the foot-paths, in the public streets; and one man for leaving his cart in the street.
On Tuesday was committed to Wakefield House of Correction, before H. Parker, Esq; one of His Majesty's Justices of the Peace, John Ibberson, of Bradfield, in this riding, hatter, charged upon oath by Samuel Gillott, of Sheffield, hatter, with suspicion of stealing from his shop a quantity of hats his property. Three Frenchmen were also committed for breaking their parole.
Last Monday night a fire was discovered in the dryhouse at Underbank, near Halifax, belonging to C. Rawden, Esq; which burnt with great fury till the whole building, with a quantity of wool, &c. was destroyed.- The property however was insured.
Lately died, in the bloom of youth, Miss Ann Wrangham, of Thorp-Basset, near Malton.

On Wednesday died, Mrs. Wilby, wife of Mr. S. Wilby, of Wakefield, cabinet-maker.
On Wednesday died, at Cottingham, near Hull, in the 96th year of his age, Nathaniel Wilson, who, until the last two years of his life, maintained himself solely by his own labour. He buried his wife about 34 years ago, and since then has lived in the same house by himself, and for the greatest part of that time the chief articles of his food have been bread, cheese, and milk. What is something remarkable, he had reserved two large coals ever since his wife's death, for the purpose of being burnt at his funeral.
On Thursday last died, after a short illness, much lamented by all his friends and acquaintance, Mr. Edward Headley, Jun. of this town, pawn-broker.
On Thursday last died, Mrs. Lister, wife of Mr. Paul Lister, of Hebden-Bridge, cotton-manufacturer.
A boy, about three years old, was on Tuesday burnt to death by approaching too near the fire, in the absence of his parents, who reside in Wood-street, in this town; and though they had the precaution not to leave him in the house, he had by some means contrived to get admission.
On Sunday se'nnight the following melancholy accident happened at Southburn, near Great Driffield;, three or four warreners having been their rounds in the rabbit warrens adjoining, on their return deposited their loaded pieces in the house of one of the parties; shortly afterwards, one of the guns was unfortunately taken up by a little boy of about eleven years of age, who levelled it at the servant girl, aged about fifteen, and shot her through the head, of which wound she died in great agonies in about an hour and a half.
A vessel, supposed to be the Nile, Wilson, of Aberdeen, from Dantzig to London, with wheat, &c. came ashore at the entrance of the Humber near the Spurn on Tuesday night and all hands perished.
A singular circumstance occurred in Doncaster a few evenings ago. As a woman of the name of Jackson, was sitting at her fire side with a young child in her arms, she heard a knocking at the door, and supposing it to be her husband, immediately opened it; when, to her great surprize, something black, with a large pair of horns, instantly rushed by her. The affrighted mother and two of her of her children, running into the street, their cries soon alarmed the neighbourhood, and a doubt was for a short time entertained whether it was a corporeal or supernatural being. Two men however entered the house, and found the object of terror to be a large black horned sheep, which had taken refuge in the childs cradle, and crouching in its snug retreat was obliged to be dragged out by the horns.
The workmen at Messrs. Lloyd's forge near Burton-upon-Trent, having had the misfortune to break the large hammer anvil steady, were on Wednesday morning last about to blow up that part which is fixed in the ground, and as Samuel Bamford (though repeatedly warned of his danger) was driving iron wedges to further the operation, a spark communicated to the gunpowder which exploded, blew off his head, and otherwise mangled his body in a shocking manner. Several other workmen upon the spot were knocked down, but none materially hurt. The deceased has left a wife and five children. It is to be hoped this unfortunate circumstance will shew the propriety of using wooden wedges on such occasions.
At Bristol sessions on Wednesday week, J.Coleman, for embezzling the monies of his employers, Messrs. Harfords and Co. was ordered to be transported for 14 years. We insert this as a forcible warning to unthinking youth, who too often, for the gratification of a few giddy hours, subject their remaining years to ignominy, shame and contempt.
On Monday last a fire broke out in a barn belonging to George Fearn, of Wadsley Bridge, which consumed a considerable quantity of hay and corn, besides nearly destroying the building in which it took place. The cause has not yet been ascertained.
The Mary and Jane, Crabtree, from Waterford to Hull, is taken and carried into Calais.
The brig Unanimity, from Wyburg to Lynn, was captured on Monday last, by the L'Hirondelle, French privateer, and retaken the same day by the Censor gunbrig, about eight leagues from Flambro' Head, and came into the Humber on the 28th. The Censor after taking the Frenchmen out of the Unanimity, went in search of the privateers and four more captured vessels, which were then in flight.
A horrid murder was perpetrated on Saturday se'nnight, in the neighbourhood of Melton Mowbray. - A young man who had been jovially spending the previous evening at Little Dalby with some fellow servants, was found near Scawby in the morning of the above day, robbed and dreadfully mangled, having his head literally beaten to pieces. The unfortunate man had called at a public-house at Scawby, and drank until he became somewhat intoxicated.- Shortly after quitting the house to call on some friends who live in a neighbouring village, he is supposed to have been overcome by the liquor he had taken, and to have fallen asleep in a field where he was afterwards round murdered. From the circumstance of the ground about the spot on which he lay being marked with a crutch, a lame mendicant who had some time loitered in the neighbourhood, was suspected to have perpetrated the horrid deed, for the sake of the wages (amounting to �10) which the servant had received on quitting his place the preceding day. The man has been apprehended and committed to Leicester gaol; upon his examination before a magistrate some further circumstances were adduced, which leave little doubt that he is the murderer.
Canine Repast.- On Sunday the 11th ult. a man followed by a Newfoundland dog, entered a public-house, called Half-Way-Bridge. in the neighbourhood of Petworth where four young men from that town were in company, and sitting before the kitchen fire. One of whom, by accident hurt the dog; of this the traveller complained with some degree of warmth, which provoked another to tell him, "that if he did not quietly put up with the affront, they would eat his dog!" The proprietor answered, they were quite at liberty to do that; and he would give them half-a-guinea's worth of drink, to wash it down, provided they would forfeit 6s. each, if they failed of eating his carcase clean up ! The conditions were agreed to; poor Cesar was slaughtered, and actually devoured by his four brethren in human shape !!!
A long pending match against time was on Friday performed by Lieut. Sketchley, an officer in the Army of Defence, for a considerable wager. This pedestrian having offered a bet that he would go to Maidenhead-bridge, and return to town in eight hours and a quarter; the distance, by the high turnpike road is 52 miles. Mr.S. started a five o'clock on Friday morning, across the country, for Burnham, Bucks, where he halted a few seconds, and arrived at Maidenhead-bridge at a quarter before nine, returned by the high-road, and arrived at his house in Conduit-street, at five minutes past one, P.M having won the wager by ten minutes. The pedestrian halted on his return for a few minutes, at a public-house at Beaulieu.- Considerable bets were pending on this performance.
The Walker, Capt. Gatecliffe, of Hull, from Petersburgh, sailed from Elsineur the 17th ult. under convoy of the Charles, armed ship, the Captain of which on the coast of Norway, made the signal for the fleet to go into harbour under their lee, which Captain Gatecliffe with several of the fleet immediately obeyed, and bore away for Flechero; and after coming to an anchor, was very much surprized to find the Commodore had not come in. He remained there until Monday the 16th ultimo, he sailed in company with the Fame, Minnet, of Hull. At break of day on Wednesday, being on the west-end of the Dogger Bank, a brig hove across their stern, and as soon as she go into their wake, bore up, and gave chase to them.- They immediately put both ships before the wind, and set steering sails on both sides; Captain Gatecliffe perceiving the privateer made for the Fame, hauled to the Southward, and had the mortification to see the brig get up with the Fame, which hauled down her steering fails, the brig shortening sail and dropping astern. Capt. Minnet again set his steering sail and the privateer immediately began to fire at him, which the Fame did not pay any attention to for some time, but at Iast on the privateer's coming up again, hove too. Captain Gatecliffe had by this time got a considerable distance to the Southward of them, and shaped his course for the Humber, and arrived safe at Hull on Thursday. The Fame is laden with hemp, flax and tallow, and is supposed to be worth about �15,000.
The Expedition, Nell, of and for Hull, from Dantzic, was captured on the 6th of November, about ten leagues from Shields, by Le Admiral Bruix, French lugger privateer, of 16 guns and 170 men, twenty of then national soldiers. The Captain of the privateer, Selle, sailed from Flushing about the 25th of October, and had captured another Baltic vessel, the Gristhorpe, Young, of Scarbro', from Newcastle, with timber. One brig from Dover in ballast, and two other vessels coal loaded, names unknown, were taken by the privateer on the 8th, in with Tynemouth Castle, the crews having previously abandoned them. On the following day near the Teesmouth, the Admiral Bruix captured the Eve, Scott, of and for Yarmouth with coals, (since retaken by the crew,) the Clinker, Willis, of Scarbro', with coals for London; the William and Mary, Robinson, of South Shields, with coals and glass The crews of the above five vessels were landed at Flushing with Capt. Nell; who was sent from thence to Ostend whence he made his escape in a neutral vessel, and was landed in the neighbourhood of Berwick; he arrived at Hull on Wednesday last. Capt. Nell speaks in the highest terms of the treatment he received from the French Captain. The Admiral Bruix sails remarkably fast, was frequently chased, but escaped by superior sailing, though at one time they were obliged to heave six guns, and all their spare sails, yards, &c. overboard, when chased by a frigate off the coast of Holland. None of the prizes had arrived in port.

POWDER for the DESTRUCTION of RATS.
THIS Composition is the Invention of Mr. T. RAISS, Merchant, at Havant, in Hampshire; who begs leave to recommend it for the Destruction of Rats and Mice infesting Dwelling-houses, Barns, Stables, Store-houses Granaries, Malt-houses, &c. Masters or SHIPS may also, in One Night, witness the Effect of this Powder, which allures the Vermin to the Spot where they will eat till they drop, yet no Cat will touch it. The Success with which it has been used in the Sugar Plantations, in Sugar-houses and Stores, deserves the Regard of Merchants and Planters. From the Calculation laid before the Public by Sir James Wright, Bart. it appears that "the Damage done by these wide-wasting Devourers of Corn, amounts to no less than 16,850,000 Bushels annually, which is far more than sufficient for Seed to sow the ensuing Year's Crop !". The Inventor being a Person of Character and Property, it is scarcely necessary to add, that his Motive in preparing it, is solely for the Public Good. But beware of Counterfeits, which its great Sale has encouraged. The genuine Packets, Price 2s. 6d. each, are done up in a Red Stamp, whereon is the Name of T. Raiss. They are sold in London only by Champante and Co. Aldgate; and at No. 17, Ave-Maria Lane, St.Paul's; they may also be had of the reputable Booksellers in every Town in the Kingdom; of Mr. Swindells, Manchester; and of the Printer of this Paper.

THE Inhabitants of Leeds and Places adjacent, are respectfully informed, That THOMAS WRIGHT, the Printer of this Paper, has just received another large supply of that salubrious Antiscorbutic Medicine, prepared by Mr. JOHN LIGNUM/, Surgeon, at his Dispensary, in Manchester.
The Reputation these Drops have acquired since first offered to the Public, Fifteen Years ago, is the best Proof of their real Utility: the great Benefit that Numbers of Individuals have experienced from their salutiferous Powers, warrant my asserting, they are not equalled, much less excelled, in the Cure of the most inveterate Leprosy, Scurvy, Scrophula, Ulcerated Sore Legs, Children's Eruptions, Pimpled Faces, &c. with many other Maladies arising from Impurities of the Blood.
The numerous Testimonies which Mr. Lignum has been honoured with from Persons of Respectability, fully prove the Safety and Efficacy of his Medicines; and though, from Family Connections, Mr. L. is not at Liberty to insert in public Print the Names of many respectable Persons, who have been cured by the Use of his Medicines: those who doubt the Authenticity thereof, may, by applying to the Agent as above, who will satisfy the Inquirer, by giving References to Persons of Respectability, who themselves, from their own Experience, will affirmatively satisfy any enquiry made, of the unequalled Success and specific Quality of the above Drops.
These Drops are sold in moulded Square Bottles, at 11s. and 4s. 6d; Duty included: One 11s. Bottle is equal to Three 4s. 6d. ones, and sold Wholesale and Retail at Mr.Lignum's Dispensary, No. 57, Bridge-street, Manchester, and may be had of all the Venders of Medicines in Great Britain and Ireland.
Sold also by the Booksellers in Leeds, Wakefield, Barnsley, Huddersfield, Halifax, Bradford, Skipton, Wetherby, York, Tadcaster, Poutefract, Sheffield, Knaresbro', Ripon, &c. &c.
