THURSDAY's POST.
LONDON, Dec. 4.
THE Gazette of this night contains an account of His Majesty's ship Phaeton having captured a French Brig privateer caned La Resolue, mounting eighteen guns, and carrying seventy men.- She was returning from a cruize, in which she had captured one English merchant ship, called the Gen. Wolfe, from Poole, bound to Newfoundland; and an American sloop, from Boston to Hamburgh, which latter was afterwards recaptured by the Stag sloop of war.
Advices were yesterday received from Amsterdam to the 24th ult. which state that the French have demanded from the Dutch a further supply of money, to the amount of twenty millions of guelders, under the pretence that this sum was necessary to enable them to defray the expences incurred by the rebellion in Belgium. Twenty millions of guelders is about �1,800,000. sterling.
Yesterday arrived a mail from Dublin. It brings accounts that the Irish papers now notice daily the project of the intended Union, which we have uniformly asserted would be proposed on the meeting of the Irish parliament. - The Times.
Messrs. Boyd, Benfield, and Co. have opened a fifth list for the ensuing loan, the preliminaries of which are not as yet settled.- The gentlemen of the Stock Exchange have also formed a list, which was filled in four hours ! Who can say that this country is straitened in its means of raising the supplies, when, in the course of one week, subscriptions to lend money to the Minister have been made to the amount of one hundred million. !
Yesterday morning arrived a mail from Lisbon, brought to Falmouth, by the Walsingham packet, in five days.- It brings accounts of the 25th ult. mentioning it as a report there, which was very generally believed, that Minorca was in the hands of the English.- It would appear from this that the armaments which sailed from Lisbon and Gibraltar under the command of Gen. Stewart had been destined against that island. The mail also brings an account, that Lord. St. Vincent had gone to Gibraltar, for the benefit of his health.
A soldier at Chelmsford, a few days since received 275 lashes, for riding on the footpath between that town and Springfield, and violently driving several passengers into the ditch, and abusing them. The penalty for riding or driving on foot-paths is �5.
Lord Nelson, who is nearly allied to the noble families of Walpole and Townsend, was born at Burnham-Thorpe, the 29th of Sept. 1758. He already enjoys from government a pension of �1000 the just reward of previous services. This may account for the. application for �2000 only, which will make his Lordship's pension �3000. annually; a sum equivalent to those of Earl St. Vincent and Viscount Duncan.
SATURDAY's POST.
LONDON, Dec. 6.
ON Wednesday in the House of Commons, the malt duty bill went thro' a committee; and the property tax bill was brought in, and read a first time; after which Mr. Pitt moved for leave to bring in a bill for rendering more effectual the sale of the land-tax, which was granted.
One of three Hamburgh mails which were due, arrived this morning.- It brings intelligence from Vienna, of the 17th ult. according to which, accounts had been received from Trieste, that the Maltese had repeatedly invited the Grand Master to return, and promised him obedience. Malta was however still in the possession of the French. Letters from Constantinople, also received there, stated that the united Russian and Turkish fleet, after having taken on board land forces, had sailed for its destination, agreeably to the directions of Lord Nelson. In part of this fleet is blockading Corfu.
The Westmoreland packet is arrived at Falmouth in twenty one days, from New-York. By her we have advices that the dreadful devastation made in that city by the yellow fever has subsided. No less than three thousand of the inhabitants died during the few months the disorder prevailed.
The destruction of the French transports in the harbour of Alexandria, and the retreat of Buonaparte to that place, were mentioned in many letters received by the Colossus, and the Lisbon Mail, and particularly, we understand, in several letters from Lord Nelson to persons here, though no official account had reached his Lordship of the fact. We are happy in being able to say, however, that the account is very generally credited. The same letters add, that Buonaparte had, in an action with the Mamelukes near Cairo, suffered a loss of 5000 men.
We are happy in being able to say that no doubt is entertained here, of the great event having taken place which we yesterday announced, viz. the capture of the island of Minorca by the forces under General Stuart. The possession of this island will be of most important consequences to this county. In a commercial point of view, the advantages attending this capture are very great :- As the whole of the Mediterranean trade will now revert to us, our ships will find in Minorca shelter and protection in their voyages up and down the Mediterranean, to which the possession of Malta, by the Neapolitans, a circumstance that may safely he reckoned upon, will form a valuable addition. Thus it will appear to the whole world, that the conquests made by this country rival in utility and solid benefit even the brilliancy which they reflect upon our military character. Sun.
A short time previous to .the commencement of the glorious engagement off the Nile, Lord Nelson desired the signal to be made for close action, never, never, NEVER to be hauled down !
A brave Lieutenant of Marines was so badly wounded that he knew he could only live a very short time --- On hearing a ship blow up (L'Orient) he mustered all his strength, and asked if we were victorious -- Being assured we were, he waved his hand over his head three times, in imitation of cheers, and, like another WOLFE, instantly expired.
The Captain of the Bellerophon being wounded and three Lieutenants killed, her quarter deck was for a short time left with only a little boy, an Officer's servant, upon it. This little hero, however, kept squeaking to the men on the main deck, fire away, fire away; never fear, we shall beat them yet - fire away, my boys, never fear, --- In this situation was this boy found by the officer whose duty it became to assume the command, and we doubt not but the boy has received the notice and patronage to which his spirit so eminently entitles him.
MONDAY's POST. [By Express.]
From the LONDON GAZETTE,
Philadelphia, Nov. 4.
The contagion which has for the last three months raged so violently in this city, has as heretofore yielded at length to a succession of frost which has prevailed during the last week, and the committee of health has invited the inhabitants to return to their houses, under an assurance of perfect safety, under proper precautions as to cleaning and airing their houses, bedding, and clothing. The coldness of the season has worked the same happy change in New York, Boston, New London, and Wilmington, where the same species of disease raged at the same time, and proved infinitely more malignant than the former diseases with which those places have been visited.
Downing-Street Dec.5.- The King has been pleased to approve of Harry Grant, Esq; to be Consul from the United States of America at the port of Leith, in Scotland.
The Gazette also contains an account of the taking of ten small privateers.
LONDON, Dec. 8.
On Thursday in the House of Commons, the report on the malt duty was brought up, and ordered to be read a third time on Friday; and the bill for repealing the assessed taxes, and for imposing other duties for the prosecution of the War, was also read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Friday.--- The above bill paired the Committee on Friday, and the report was ordered to be received on Saturday.
In the history of loan transactions, a similar circumstance has not, we believe, occurred, as happened in the bidding of yesterday, when the Bankers who bid for the loan of three millions sterling, took it at 3-4ths per. cent. above the market price of the hour. This shews, however, the advantage of competition, and that Mr. Pitt also knows how to make a good bargain for the public, by adopting the plan he has pursued in regard to the loan in question.
Paris papers were received this morning up to the 4th inst. which state that Buonaparte before quitting Grand Cairo had organized a government similar to that of the new republics of Europe.- There is a Directory of five members, and administrations have been installed in the different cantons - Buonaparte is now stiled Ali-Buonaparte. - The Echo of the 1st. inst. says that treason had delivered Port Mahon into the hands of the English, where they have landed 3000 men and found auxiliaries in the numerous French emigrants, who had established their residence there.
We understand that an account has been received at the Admiralty-office, which leads to the apprehension that the Cambria frigate, commanded by the Hon. Capt. Legge, has been captured by two French frigates, each of which were of equal force.
It was yesterday currently reported, that advices had been received by Government from the Cape of Good Hope, of the death of that highly respected and much esteemed nobleman, Lord Macartney.
On Wednesday morning arrived at Yarmouth the King George packet, Capt. Dean, from Cuxhaven, with mails, money, and Messrs. Levi, Rainer, Ormond, and Mr. Scott, King's Messenger, from Vienna. The passengers state that Napper Tandy is a prisoner on board the Termagant sloop of war, Captain D. Lloyd, and may be expected there hourly, Napper Tandy was discovered in the following manner:- A commander of a lugger privateer, lying at Cuxhaven, waited on the Captain of the sloop for instructions; Capt. Lloyd suspecting all was not right, sent a party on board to examine her papers, when they found that Napper Tandy was the real Captain and owner, and that his intention was to have captured the packet, and proceeded immediately to France. The crew of the lugger having discovered in their examination that Napper Tandy was at Hamburgh; Capt. Lloyd sent thither a party of 12 marines, who took him on board the Termagant sloop.
By advices received yesterday over-land from India, we learn that the Company's ships Exeter, Bombay Castle, Brunswick and Earl Howe, arrived at Bombay early in June last.
General Tarleton is appointed to the command of the English cavalry in Portugal, to which situation he is to set out immediately. If report speaks true, there will be something more to do than mere exercise.
We understand that Lord Elgin is about to leave London for Constantinople, whither his Lordship is going as Ambassador. His embassy is intended to be unusually splendid. His Lordship will assume the title of Ambassador Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary, and is to carry out with him a very numerous suite. He is also to take with him two full length pictures of the King and Queen- and a rich State Canopy, under which he will receive the compliments of the Foreign Ministers and others, on his arrival at Constantinople. A service of plate of the value of �5000. is now making for his Lordship.
The Right Hon. T. Grenville sets out next week for Berlin and Vienna; in consequence, as we understand, of these Courts having signified their disposition to unite in a new league against France on certain conditions. He also, it is said, carries with him the grand and combined plan of operation, the particulars of which, not being proper for disclosure, the public must expect to hear of appointments and particular services allotted by Government.- Meanwhile expeditions for carrying on an offensive war are preparing, and several regiments of light horse are ordered to hold themselves in readiness for foreign service.
By a cartel ship which yesterday arrived at Dover from Gravelines, we understand government received some Paris papers, but none of a later date than the 26th ult.- By these we learn, that the insurrection in the Netherlands, so far from having been suppressed, as stated in former papers, continues to extend towards those points of frontier at which it is most likely to receive succour. In the country of Treves the people have almost every where hoisted the standard of revolt; and at Cologne such are the apprehensions entertained, that the garrison has been doubled.- On the side of Holland, the same precaution has been used.- We are also briefly informed, that disturbances of so alarming a description have again broken out in Brittany, as to have become the subject of discussion in a committee of secrecy, which had sat for three days. The Directorial papers, however, reckon confidently upon its being speedily subdued.

We hear from a respectable correspondent, that Mr. Macartney is now performing in Halifax with infinite reputation and advantage. His "powers of the eye" continue to give general pleasure; and his readings still possess their wonted attractions for the mind of genius and sensibility. His singing gives great satisfaction, with may be considered as ample testimony to his abilities in that particular ; the inhabitants of Halifax being incontrovertibly looked upon as the best judges of music in Yorkshire.- We hope once more to see this Dramatic Phenomenon in Leeds, on his return from Halifax for York, as the specimen we have had highly entitles him to favor and patronage.
Mr. George Birkbeck, of Settle, is appointed President of the Medical Society at Edinbro', for the ensuing year.

Mr. Robert Elam, has advanced his subscription to �10. 10s. and Mr. Wm. Jackson, of Barnsley, to �2. 2s. towards the support of the above most excellent institution ; and the following persons have also become annual subscribers for the same laudable purpose, viz. Mrs Sarah Grimshaw, and Mr. James King, of Mytholme, �3. 3s. each.- Mr. Joseph Ingham, Mr. James Tatham, Mr. John Armistead, Mrs. Ruth Elam, Mrs. Martha Whitelock, Mr. Jonathan Lupton, and Mr. Stephen Shephard, �2. 2s. each.- Mr. David Benson, Mr. Jonathan Patchett, Mr. Tho. Dearman, Mrs. Deborah Elam, Mrs Hannah Whitelock, and Mr. Tho. Copeland, �1. 1s. each.
The inhabitants of Hull on Friday and Saturday experienced the pleasing and exhilarating sight of upwards of 60 sail of ships arriving from the Baltic, which may be valued at nearly �300,000.- They are part of a fleet of 400 sail. Three privateers got into the midst of them; but owing to gales of wind did not make any captures.
The Countess of Hopeton, from Petersburg for Hull, is on shore off the Tees, and it is feared greatly damaged.
A trial came on last Tuesday in the Court of King's Bench, Monsieur Vienville, versus Col. Thornton. This was an action brought against the Colonel to recover �13. for wages earned as cook, &c. but failing in his proof, the plaintiff was nonsuited, Lord Kenyon, before the conclusion, said he wished to say one word ; the return which Col. Thornton had experienced had been very ungrateful. To arrest a man worth �10,000. a year for a debt of �13. is a circumstance that the plaintiff's attorney ought to be ashamed of. No doubt, men of all ranks and degrees are equally responsible for the payment of their just debts. He wished that gentlemen in the country would follow the example of their ancestors, by keeping open houses for the-reception of their own countrymen, and not for a set of vagabonds coming from all parts of the compass. There are great number of Frenchmen here, and many of them men of high rank, who have received the generous commiseration of this country, and who deserve it; but there are others of a very different description.
On the 19th of August died, in the 20th year of his age, on board the Leander, in the Mediterranean, Mr. Peter Downes's, late midshipman of that ship, and younger son of the ancient family of the Downes's, of Shrigley, in Cheshire. It is a tribute justly due to the memory of the most promising merit at an early age, to add, that this young gentleman had served in the most active scenes during the whole of this war, with the highest honour to himself, the most distinguished approbation of his commanding officers, and the universal esteem of his comrades. Towards the conclusion of the gallant Capt. Thompson's ever memorable defence of the shattered Leander, on the 18th of August, on her way from the action off the Nile, against so superior a force of the enemy, he received a fatal shot, of which he lingered with the greatest resignation till the following morning.
Mr. Buckley, and Mr. Smith, who left Saddleworth, (the place of their residence) and sailed for New-York in August last, were both seized with the yellow fever soon after their arrival there, and were carried off in a few days.
In October last died, at Carlisle, in America, Mr. William Copley, late of Hunslet, in this parish.
A few days ago died in Whitehaven, John Brown, in the 77th year of his age, He was a native of Abbey Holm; worked fifty years in London as a journeyman shoemaker, and in concert with two Italians, began that preparation of leather which is known by the name of Black Spanish, or Morocco; but before the completion of the plan, they contrived to exclude him from all the benefits of an invention which in a short time enabled them to retire with wealth sufficient to purchase them the rank of nobility in their own country.
Lately died, in the 78th year of her age, Mrs. Barker, relict of the late Major Barker, and sister to the late William Lawrence, Esq; Member for Ripon.
A few days ago died, at Hayes, in Middlesex, Miss Julia Wainman, youngest daughter of O. Wainman, M.D. of Wisbech, in the Isle of Ely, and formerly of Skipton in Craven.
On Thursday se'nnight died, universally lamented, Mr David Hall, of Skipton, in Craven, surgeon.
On Friday se'nnight died, at Chipping-Lawn, near Burnley, whilst on a visit to his friends, William Cottam, Esq; of Hardshawe-Hall, in Lancashire. To say that he was deservedly beloved, is but a poor tribute to his memory; the sorrow of his acquaintances will best speak his praise and their loss. Affable to all, he left many mourners, but not one enemy behind him.- On the Monday morning preceding he slipped, and fell on some ice in the high road, by which fall he broke his leg and dislocated his ancle; a mortification taking place, put a period to his life in his thirty-fifth year.
Yesterday se'nnight died, at Lea in Lincolnshire, universally regretted, the Lady of Sir Edmund Anderson, Bart.
On Tuesday last died, Mr. George Clough, of Easingwold.
On Tuesday died, Mrs. Scarth, the wife of Tho. Scarth, Esq; of Stakesby, near Whitby.
On Tuesday died, at her house in Howard-street, Sheffield, in the 81st year of her age, Mrs. Ruth Abdy.- The excellent and truly amiable character of this worthy woman, is too perfect and too well known to require any encomium.
On Friday last died, in the 76th year of her age, at the house of her daughter, in Sheffield Park, much regretted by all her friends and acquaintance, Mrs. Wright, widow of the late Mr. Wright, of Rotherham.
On Friday last died, Mrs. Shepley, the wife of Mr. Thomas Shepley, of Selby.
On Friday se'nnight was interred in a vault at St.Stephen's church, Salford, Mrs. Gould, wife of Mr Nathaniel Gould, of the Crescent; a lady of a most amiable disposition and extraordinary benevolence; by whose death the poor have lost a kind friend and benefactress, and her relations and friends a sincere and virtuous companion.
A large number of counterfeit half crowns are now in circulation in this town; they are made of bad copper plated; if examined they may be readily known, being lighter than the original coin, and found the same as a bad halfpenny. The villains who circulate them, though guessed at, are yet undetected.
On Thursday were launched from Mr. Humble's yard, Liverpool, two very fine ships, one called the Asia, of 819 tons; and the other the Charlton, of 818 tons, both for the East India Company.
A Coach-driver, late on Monday night (near the hour of twelve) drove his vehicle into the river, near the Old Bridge, at Manchester, for the common but imprudent purpose of washing ; when, there being a great fresh, and the current strong, the horses were soon driven into the centre of the stream, forced under one of the arches, and in that state they swam, with the man on the box, through Blackfriars-bridge, fighting and struggling for their lives, till one in the morning. The poor fellow in his endeavours had entangled his legs in the reins, but from them he extricated himself with a knife; when, fortunately coming nearly in contact with a dyer's flat, he, by an astonishing effort, jumped from the box upon the same where he lay several minutes in a state of insensibility. The horses, after swimming about the river some time, followed their master to the flat, and attempted to raise their fore-feet upon it ; the poor man with the little strength he had left, held up the head of one of the creatures, till, with a convulsive groan it expired in his arms. From the active assistance of several persons, attracted by the cries of the coachman, they had so far succeeded in rescuing the other horse, as to extricate him from the reins, and had got him half up Mrs. Duxbury's steps, when, owing to the tempestuousness of the night, he slipt from their holds, and again plunged into the river, after which nothing more was seen of him.- Happy would. it have been had the calamity ended here - curiosity (early in the morning following) called crowds of people together to see the bodies of the horses floating; among others, a groupe of nine or ten women and children very incautiously got together on a dyer's stage, hanging over the river near the Old Bridge, when, shocking to relate, the bottom of the stage gave way, and they were all in an instant precipitated into the river. Three were recovered before life was gone: The strength of the current rendered every endeavour to save the others ineffectual, and they were all swept away ! - The following are the names of the unfortunate sufferers : Miss Martha Rhodes, Miss Anna Reed, Miss Jane Holiday, Ellen Neild, Sarah Petty, (Mrs. Duxbury's servant,) and Richard Boardman.- A woman and her child are also said to have perished.- A boy who was saved was fetched out by a Newfoundland dog. The sagacious animal returned for a woman, but alas, it was too late !
We are happy to announce to the public (see the advertisement in the first page) that the Dearne and Dove canal is now open, from the river Dun, at Swinton, to Earl Fitzwilliam's colliery, at Elsicar, where there are inexhaustible beds of excellent coal; from which the port of Hull, and the adjacent country, may be readily supplied; and which, when the Stainford and Keadby Canal is finished (which is now in great forwardness) may be speedily conveyed down the river Dun, through that canal to the river Trent at Keadby (thereby avoiding the dangers of the Dutch river and the Trent fall:) by which means that neighbourhood, and the most distant pans of Lincolnshire, may be supplied with that useful article. The line of the Dearne and Dove canal too will be finished by the 1st of January, as far as Aldam Mill, within three Miles of Barnsley: so that the goods, which have been usually taken to that place from Swinton by land carriage, will be then readily taken from Aldam Mill at a very easy expence. And as, we understand, the canal is intended to be completed up to Barnsley with all possible expedition, the Silkstone coal may then be readily obtained; and that, as well as the Elsicar coal, will undoubtedly find its way to, and be gladly received at, the London market.
