Saturday, March 21st, 1805

The Endymion frigate, the Hon. Captain Paget, is :arrived at Portsmouth from a cruise, and has brought in with her four Spanish prizes, with a quantity of treasure on board.

Sydney Gazettes, from New South Wales, up to the 19th of August last, have been received. Some enormities had been committed by the natives, in the neighbourhood of Portland Head; in consequence of which a detachment of the New South Wales Corps had been sent against them, by whom the hostile natives were dispersed, with the loss of a few men. Tranquillity had been completely restored at the date of these accounts. The crops of corn were abundant; and the colony was in a most improving state.
A new Colony is about to be founded in the Eastern Hemisphere. We learn, by the above papers, that a number of settlers and convicts had been removed from Botany Bay and Norfolk Island, to a new settlement, established in an advantageous situation, called Port Dalrymple, on Van Diemen's Land, to the south of Bass's Straits. This third establishment in the East, founded in consequence of positive instructions from the Government, was deemed of such importance, that Mr.Paterson, the Deputy-Governor of Sydney, removed to Port Dalrymple for the purpose of superintending it.

Orders have been issued from the Navy Board, for the greatest dispatch being used in the equipment of every ship in a condition to put to sea.

The celebrated musician Haydn (says a letter from Vienna), for whom a funeral service has been performed in France, is still living, and as hearty and well as a man of 75 can be expected to be.

On Friday the bill of indictment preferred against Mr. James Thompson, of Ludgate-hill, linen-draper, for setting his house on fire, was by the Grand Jury returned "Not found."

Volunteer Corps.- An appeal came on for hearing, a few days since, before Thomas Daniel and A.P. Collins, Esqrs. two of his Majesty's Deputy Lieutenants for Bristol (under an Act of the last Session of Parliament, which declares the right of Volunteers to resign), brought by Mr.Osborne, a member of the Bristol Light Horse Volunteers, against Levi Ames, jun. Esq. the Commanding Officer, for refusing to strike his name off the muster-roll, in consequence of his objecting to the payment of �30, as a penalty for quitting the corps.- Counsel were heard at great length on both sides; and the decision was given, in substance as follows;- "Upon a view of the Act of Parliament under which this appeal is brought, and under all the circumstances of the case, this Court is of opinion, that the Commanding Officer is not bound to accept the resignation of the appellant, until he has paid the fine or penalty of �30."

Saturday about twenty journeymen shoemakers, in the service of Mr. Wimpory, of Coventry-street, underwent a long examination at the Police-Office, Marlborough-street, charged with having combined, in order to expel from the same employ a man who was an enemy to combination, and, in the vulgar phraseology of the trade, denominated a "Dung." -They applied to Mr.W. to discharge him, and on his refusal, struck. Mr.W. assembled them at a public-house in Bolsover-street, to remonstrate on the impropriety of their conduct, and exhort them to return to their work; but finding his endeavours to be fruitless, he called in several of the police officers, who were in waiting, and they were all taken into custody. Eighteen of them were sentenced to two months imprisonment, and the Magistrates declared their determination to punish like offences in the most exemplary manner.

A person of Norwich lately met with so severe a fall, by having his chair suddenly drawn from under him, as to cause the rupture of an internal blood-vessel, from which great fears were at first, entertained of his immediate death: he is now, however, in a fair way of recovery.- We have thought it incumbent on us to give this cautionary notice of the accident, in the hope of rendering less frequent the serious consequences which result from the mischievous thoughtlessness of a playful moment.

A few days since the female servant of a farmer at Fundenhall, in Norfolk, having lighted a fire in a heater-stove, in which her master had placed a canister of gunpowder to dry, an explosion took place, which killed her on the spot, and greatly damaged the house.

LONDON, February 28.

Of the sailing of the Toulon squadron, the letters from Gibraltar make positive mention- adding, that Lord Nelson was at the time of their sailing, taking in water in one of the ports of Sicily, and that he received intelligence of the event four days after the ships had left Toulon. If Lord Nelson was watering at Messina, and the French attempted to pass through the strait that separates Sicily from Italy, they would fall into his very teeth; if he was watering at Palermo, and they attempted to pass to the westward of Sicily, they would hardly escape him. At any rate we entertain the most sanguine expectations that they will never again reach a French port.

An entertainment given on Monday evening by his Majesty, at the Royal Castle of Windsor, excited great expectations, from the extent of the preparations, and the number of illustrious guests invited to partake of the hospitalities.- The suit of rooms in which the supper-tables were laid out, were, the Presence-Chamber, Audience and great Guard-Chambers. In his Majesty's Presence-Chamber were two very rich and brilliant cut-glass lustres, and one long wide supper-table, capable of accommodating 80 persons. In the Audience-Chamber there were two cut-glass lustres, similar to those in the Presence-Chamber, and four shorter tables placed across the room. The great Guard-Chamber was illuminated by nine hoop chandeliers. In the centre were two very long tables, and at one end the sash of a window had been taken out, and a temporary projection carried over the terrace, by which a convenient recess was afforded for the reception of a band of music. At the upper end of the room was the Royal table, having on each side two smaller side-tables, upon which was placed a large quantity of massive golden plate, of very costly workmanship, with marble vases, ornamented with golden leaves and flowers. The Royal table was distinguished by golden candlesticks, golden knives and fork's, and other articles of table service. The other arrangements for the supper were of the most liberal and magnificent description. All that is accounted delicacy at this season of the year, was abundant. The fruits were in great variety, and the pines, and others of the choicest kind, were of the growth of the Royal gardens. The decorations of the table were the subject of universal admiration. The tables in these three rooms were lighted, in addition to the illumination of the lustres, by hundreds of silver double-branched candlesticks, and the floors were all covered with fine matting. The whole of the tables were capable of accommodating about 400 guests; and the general effect of them, when lighted up, and filled with the splendid assemblage of visitors, was brilliant and superb in the highest degree.
The gentlemen were for the greater part dressed in the full Windsor uniform. The King himself wore the Windsor uniform, with the Order of the Garter, and seemed to be in remarkably good health and spirits. The ladies dresses were all extremely tasteful. Some were beautifully simple, and others after the richest model of magnificence in the present taste of female costume. The Princess of Wales was most superbly attired: she came from her apartment to the concert, accompanied by the Princess Charlotte, who was in plain white muslin.
One feature of this festivity was of a singular and very interesting description. The young gentlemen of Eton had been previously invited by the King to the supper, and accordingly his Majesty had ordered the library to be prepared for their reception. In this apartment they supped, to the number of more than 80; they were attended by the Provost and some other officers.



Friday and Saturday's Posts.
LONDON, March 1.

Execution.- Yesterday morning Richard Haywood and John Tennant were executed before the debtors' door in the Old-Bailey, pursuant to their sentence, - The former of these miserable men, ever since sentence of death was passed upon him, had behaved with unexampled depravity. He never attempted to deny his guilt, but, on the contrary, seemed to exult in it, and often regretted he had not done a deed more deserving of death. It was his constant boast, that he would, on the scaffold, surpass the notorious Abershaw in evincing his contempt of death; and he constantly endeavoured to instil into the mind of his fellow-sufferer those diabolical principles which he had imbibed himself. - On Tuesday night, when Allport the under-keeper, was about to remove him to his cell, he drew out a clasp-knife, which he had concealed about him, and with horrid imprecations threatened his life. The keeper tampered with him until he had put away the knife, when he seized and chained him to the wall, not allowing him a larger range than three inches. This severity produced no effect; he was continually imprecating curses on all those who had been the means of bringing him to punishment. The Chaplain's offer to assist him in his devotions in the cell he rejected with scorn.
At an early hour yesterday morning, both the prisoners being allowed to walk in the Press-yard, Dr.Ford again importuned Haywood to pray, when the misguided wretch called him by every opprobrious name he could think of. He never once seemed to contemplate his situation, but employed the time he was permitted to stay in the yard, in exhorting his companion to die game. Tennant betrayed no violence, notwithstanding it was evident that he was greatly influenced by the advice of his companion, and apparently his thoughts were altogether unoccupied by religion.- At the suggestion of Mr. Holdsworth, the City Marshal, he made some alteration in his dress. This officer finding his advice attended to in this instance, intreated him no longer to follow the evil counsel of Haywood, but to employ the few moments he had left in a Christian-like manner. Tennant shed tears, shewed some contrition, and suffered the Ordinary to attend him to the scaffold.
When the time for quitting the court-yard arrived, Haywood called to a friend, who was present, to deliver him a bundle he had in his hand, out of which he took an old jacket, and a pair of old shoes, and put them on. "Thus," says he, " will I defeat the prophecies of my enemies: they have often said I should die in my coat and shoes, and I am determined to die in neither." Being told it was time to be conducted to the scaffold, he cheerfully attended the summons, having first eat some bread and cheese, and drank a quantity of coffee. Before, however, he departed, he called out, in a loud voice to the prisoners, who were looking through the upper windows at him, "Farwell, my lads, I am just a-going off: God bless you." "We are sorry for you," replied the prisoners." "I want none of your pity," rejoined Haywood; " keep your snivelling till it be your own turn."
Immediately on his arrival upon the scaffold, he gave the mob three cheers, introducing each with a "Hip-ho!" Whilst the cord was preparing he continued hallooing to the mob. It was found necessary, before the usual time, to put the cap over his eyes, besides a silk handkerchief by way of bandage, that his attention might be entirely abstracted from the spectators. Dr. Ford continued in prayer with Tennant, who listened to him, but did not join with him. Just as the noose was placed round his neck, he emphatically exclaimed, "Lord, have mercy upon me !" Haywood muttered some words in reply, which were not perfectly understood, but were supposed to be said to Tennant by way of reproach. He then gave another halloo, and kicked off his shoes among the spectators, many of whom were deeply affected at the obduracy of his conduct. Soon afterwards the platform dropped.

This Tunnel is nearly two miles in length, and has been one of the greatest difficulties the Grand Junction Canal Company have had to surmount in executing their national undertaking. We heartily congratulate the public on the completion of this great and important work, which promises more public benefit than any thing of the kind that has yet been done in the kingdom, as it opens a direct intercourse with the Metropolis, by inland navigation, from the Northern, North-eastern, Northwestern, and Midland Canals and Manufactories.

The parish church of Hanslope, in Buckinghamshire, was broken into one night during the latter part of last week, and the surplice and large church bible were stolen thereout. - The frequent instances of sacrilege lately committed in this neighbourhood, should excite the country to vigilance and exertion, that the offenders may be discovered and brought to condign punishment.

An extraordinary Cure recently effected by
Dr.SIBLY's PATENT
REANIMATING SOLAR TINCTURE.

SIR,
MR.JOHN SWAN, a Resident of SWANSEA, called at my House, November 19, 1803, and purchased two Bottles of Solar Tincture. Having received great Benefit in taking of it, and, snatched as it were from the Jaws of Death, he begged I would inform you of the Case, for the Benefit of the Public in general. His Complaint originated in a dreadful Fever, which left an Inflammation on his Lungs, and not being removed in Time, his Lungs were ulcerated. In that almost fatal Situation, battling the Practice of Medical Skill and Advice, he was recommended by a Friend, who had also received great Benefit in a similar Complaint, to make a Trial of your inestimable Medicine, the Solar Tincture; when, after taking a few Bottles, he found himself reinstated in his former Health, and though reduced to a mere Skeleton, by the Complication of the Disorders he laboured under, he assured me he never enjoyed a better State of Health than he does at present. Having complied with Mr. Swan's Request,
I am your. respectfully, W. SHEPPARD, Bookseller.
Bristol, Dec.9, 1803
