THURSDAY's POST
From the LONDON GAZETTE.
Naples, September 25.
HIS Majesty's ships the Culloden, Capt. Trowbridge, the Alexander, Capt.Ball, and the frigate Bonne Citoyenne, came into this port on the 18th inst. in the evening. His Sicilian Majesty went out in his boat into the Bay to meet them, as did numerous English and Neapolitan boats. The ships gave the Royal salute to His Majesty. Admiral Sir Horatio Nelson, in the Vanguard, accompanied by the Thalia frigate, did not make his appearance in this Bay until Saturday last, the 22d inst. having been becalmed off Sicily.- The King of Naples not only went off to meet the Admiral, but instantly went on hoard the Vanguard, and staid on board until that vessel was at anchor in the port. The Royal salute was given by all the King's ships, both on His Sicilian Majesty's arrival on board the Vanguard, and on his leaving the ship.The day being remarkably fine, numerous boats with colours and music attended the Vanguard, and all the shores and wharfs of Naples were crowded with a multitude of rejoicing people; and when the Admiral came on shore, the reception the Neapolitans gave him was expessive of the utmost kindness and gratitude.
Naples, Sept.28. Every assistance has been given to the Vanguard, the Culloden, and Alexander, so that these ships will be fit to go again to sea in a few. days. Yesterday His Majesty's ship Colossus, Capt. Murray, with four victuallers, from Gibraltar, came to an anchor in this port.- This morning Sir Horatio Nelson has received a letter from Sir James Saumarez, dated from the port of Augusta in Sicily, the 17th inst. reporting all well in the squadron under his command, and that he hoped, having got water and fresh provisions, to sail from thence for Gibraltar the Wednesday following.
Naples, Sept. 29. Capt.Gage, in the Terpfichore, arrived here this morning. He left Malta the 26th inst. when Sir James Saumarez with his squadron, in conjunction with the Portuguese squadron under the command of Marquis Nizza, had summoned the French to surrender and evacuate Malta, which was refused by M. Vaubois, the commander in chief of the Valetta; and that Sir James Saumarez was proceeding with his squadron and French prizes to Gibraltar, having left the Portuguese to block Malta; and having, at the request of the Maltese Insurgents, supplied them with a large quantity of ammunition, and twelve hundred stand of arms, from his French prizes. The Maltese say, that the French are in the greatest want at Valetta.
LONDON, Nov. 13.
The intelligence of the failure of the expedition against Ireland, had reached Paris.
The Terrible man of war, Capt. Sir R. Bickerton, is arrived in Bristol Channel. after chasing four French frigates for fifty-two hours, during which the enemy threw all their guns and heavy store overboard. The Terrible, in a violent gale of wind, had her sails shivered almost to rags, and every stay-sail completely destroyed; and it was by the greatest exertions of her officers and crew that she was preserved from being wrecked on the coast of Cornwall.
The American agents are at this time very busy in buying up ships to be converted into ships of force: several of the French, Dutch, and Spanish prizes lately taken, have been purchased by them, and are, with permission of Government, gone into private docks to be repaired.
SATURDAY's POST.
LONDON, Nov.15.
Yesterday arrived a Dublin mail, which brought accounts down to the date of the 10th inst.- The most prominent article of intelligence, though very briefly given, relates to the conviction of Tone, before a court martial, of treason against his country, in having appeared in arms in the service of a hostile foreign power. He pleaded guilty. It is said his execution will speedily take place.
The French papers contain the following accounts from Brest, dated the 23d inst. respecting the squadron under Bompard.- "Our flotilla, after meeting with adverse winds for eighteen days, attempted to disembark the troops which it carried, in several Bays in Ireland. They every where found the enemy in great strength. It was in the Bay of Killala, the place of its destination, that it met six English ships of the line, and fifteen thousand cavalry were waiting to oppose us on the shore. The frigate L'Embuscade sunk during the a action, La Bellone and La Coquille were obliged to surrender with the ship the Hoche. La Loire and La Romaine have escaped; La Resolue had suffered too much from the stress of the weather to take any part in the engagement; we do not know what has become of her !
Thomas Paine has written to the Executive Directory, stating, that the Irishmen who sailed with General Humbert, have been taken and hanged, and that those who have set off upon the second expedition are exposed to the same fate. In order to save them from that fate, Thomas Paine proposes to the government to declare, that the Irishmen who are prisoners in France, and of the Royal Party, should be considered as hostages for the Irish Officers having French commissions. In another point of view, says he, one decent is the same as another, and the English officers taken at Ostend, should be considered as hostages for the French officers taken in Ireland ! !
Monday's Post. [by Express.]
LONDON, Nov.17.
THIS morning arrived a mail from Dublin, which brought letters and papers of the 13th inst. An application has been made to the Court of King's Bench in Ireland, for a Habeas Corpus, to bring in the body of Tone, in order to delay his execution, which had been granted. The convict had, however, made an attempt on his own life, that prevented the writ from being carried into execution; he was placed under the custody of the Sheriff, and a strait waistcoat put upon him, to prevent his repeating the attempt.
The Rebel Holt had on the 13th been brought a prisoner into the Castle-yard.
The secret expedition under the command of General Stewart, which we mentioned in yesterday's Courier, we now understand sailed from Gibraltar on the 22d.of October.- It consisted of five sail of ships of war, a number of transports and 4000 land troops. - Courier.
The arrival of the Speaker of the Irish House of Commons, and of Mr.Beresford, is supposed to relate to the projected Union between the two countries. We understand they have had several meetings with the cabinet ministers on this subject since their coming to this country.
We are now well assured that Lord Nelson has no intention of returning to England at present. While any service remains to be performed we are confident his Lordship is not likely to turn his back upon it. It is supposed he has sailed to attack Corfu or Malta.
It would appear that three of the French prizes taken by Lord Nelson have been destroyed.- Five have arrived at Lisbon, and one has been detained at Gibraltar; the other three being old ships, or very much damaged, after being dismantled, have probably been destroyed.- Sir James Saumuez brought with him only three British ships of the line out of the Mediterranean, so that there still remain nine under the command of Lord Nelson.
We have learnt some authentic particulars of the action between the Leander of 50 guns, and La Genereux of 74 guns, which we have much pleasure in communicating to the public.-The crew of the Leander amounted only to 180 men, and she was crippled from the share she had in the battle off the Nile.- The action, however, was most warmly supported for six hours, and the Leander did not strike till she had fired her last cartridge against the enemy. Thirty five men were killed on board the Leander, and several wounded, - Capt.Thompson was severely wounded, Capt. Berry slightly. It is already known that the French ship Le Genereux sunk at Corfu in consequence of the damage she sustained in this most gallant action, which perhaps has scarcely been equalled even in the very brilliant achievements or the present war.- Sun.
Law Intelligence.- In the Court of King's Bench on Thursday last, Mr.Law obtained a Rule to shew cause why a criminal information should not be filed against Mr.Seddons an attorney, at Manchester, for a challenge, - On the 9th of October, a large company assembled at Manchester to celebrate the victory of Lord Nelson, when Major Seddons, brother to the defendant, came into the room so much intoxicated, that he was turned out by the general voice of the company. The next morning, the defendant waited on Col. Akers, remonstrated with him on his unhandsome conduct the preceding evening towards the Major, and hoped he would accept of him in the place of his brother.- Col. Akers asked him if he was to consider this as a challenge. He told Mr.Seddons he had never touched his brother; that he had not spoken to him, and had not been concerned, either directly or indirectly, in turning him out of the room. The Colonel therefore asked him why he had fixed upon him as the only person in the company who had been concerned in this business. Mr. Seddons replied, that if he (Colonel Akers) had used his influence with the company, his brother would not have been turned out. He insisted on having satisfaction. A time was appointed for accommodating the business, but it was not settled, and hence this application was made to the Court.-Lord Kenyon.-Take a Rule to shew cause. At the same time I hope these parties will have the discretion to make it up, and that the Court will hear no more of it.

On Saturday the 3d inst. died at Hopton Wafers, in Shropshire, the venerable William Hyde, in the 106th year of his age, and to the last moment in the full use of every faculty. When he attended Worcester races in 1797, the following account of him appeared in the Worcester Herald :- "In his cottage on the side of the Clee Hill, he has passed this long and peaceful life. The same parish which gave him birth (with a very few exceptions) has been his bourne; once, indeed, after the age of 70, he wandered into Wiltshire to see his sons, and walked on the first day of his journey from his home to Newport, in Gloucestershire, a distance of nearly fifty miles. With a mind neither debauched or distracted by vicious or violent passions, nor highly elevated in the pursuits of exalted virtues, he has calmly glided down this long stream of life, with few circumstances to ruffle it; perhaps, in these dissolute times, the most remarkable circumstance is, that he lived sixty-eight years with one wife."
Our old correspondent Verax, says, that he does not pretend to understand the merits of the cause respecting the intended union of Ireland, though he rather inclines to approve of it, because the ablest and honestest politician of this age (Dean Tucker) is in favour of it. He has, however, an infallible rule of judging in this and all similar political questions, which he wishes others to adopt. His rule is this.- He waits for the opinion of the Whig Club; if they be for it, he concludes it is a bad and dangerous measure - If they disapprove, he is satisfied that it is salutary and beneficial -But if they loudly and violently oppose it, (as they did the two treason bills) then he is certain that it is a measure that is necessary to tbe safety, and very existence of the Constitution !
A correspondent informs us that there are two impostors going about the country pretending to be the son and nephew of Dr.Taylor, of Whitworth. They undertake to cure all complaints; and have swindled many persons out of their property in the neighbourhood of Everton, Bawtry, Doncaster, Rotherham, &c. &c.
On Sunday se'nnight an express was received by the Mayor of Hull, from Major Pitts, of Bridlington, giving information of four vessels being captured off that port by the L'Entirenant cutter privateer, of 10 guns, commanded by Capt.

He has now taken the Tavistock, Piles, of Shields; the Friendship, Kirton; the Hannah, Sheek, of Sunderland, colliers; and the Ann, Jacks, with flax and deals, for Chepstow.

A short time ago, Richard Hodgson, alias Hudson, who, on the 6th of June Iast, escaped out of Newgate, in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, whither he had been committed as a deserter from the 60th regiment, was apprehended at Carlisle, on the information of an accomplice, named Richard Mindham, who also further stated, that Hodgson was a common dealer in counterfeit currency, and got his living by that nefarious traffic. Hodgson recriminated and charged Mindham with the same practice, and further declared, that a parcel of base coin was then on the road from London for the latter. Both informations being sworn to, the Magistrate committed the two men to Carlisle gaol, and ordered an attentive watch to be kept for the expected parcel. On Saturday se'nnight it arrived by the mail-coach, and on examination, was found to contain in nominal value, in base half-crowns �18. 10s .-shillings �12. 10s. and half guineas �21. The parties have for several months past lodged at Mumps-hall, near Gilsland, and frequented fairs, races, &c.
The following case of extreme distress is of so truly afflicting a nature as cannot fail to excite universal compassion. - On Thursday the 11th ult. the vicarage-house of the Rev. Isaac Wilson, Vicar of Brafferton-cum-Helperby, near Boroughbridge, in this county, unfortunately took fire by a spark from a neighbouring chimney falling on the thatch of the roof. The wind being extremely high, the flames spread so rapidly that the house was quickly burnt down to the ground, without the possibility of saving any of the wearing apparel, and scarcely any of the furniture. Mr. Wilson himself was providentially saved from the flames, but is now totally destitute of an habitation and of cloaths, at the age of 93, quite blind, and nearly quite deaf. He is respected and beloved by all his parishioners ; and from affection to them, as well as from an humble and contented turn of mind, he has refused better preferment when offered to him, although the Vicarage of Brafferton is not worth more than �50. a year. A subscription for the reparation of the loss, which is estimated at �400. has been opened, and His Grace the Archbishop of this Province, the Bishop of London, the Earl of Carlisle, and several other gentlemen have, with their usual benevolence, contributed very liberally towards alleviating the distress of this venerable sufferer.
