Some Selected Reports from the Northampton Mercury



Saturday, April 5, 1794




Sunday and Tuesday's Posts.
LONDON, April 1.

On Saturday dispatches were received from Lord Bakarras, the Governor of Jersey, by Lord Amherst, who immediately laid them before his Majesty at Buckingham-house.
The purport of the accounts is understood to be, that the French armament, consisting of four ships of the line and about five frigates, with a number of transports, full of troops, had sailed from Concale Bay, and advanced to the island of Choisey, about midway between Jersey and the Main.
Choisey, on which the French are said to have landed, is a small island. three leagues to the west-ward of Granville. It is about three miles long, and situate in a clustre of rocks. This island was taken in 1756 by the present Lord Howe, then a Commodore, when the fort was demolished. The only use which the French derive from the isle of Choisey, is to supply themselves with stone for St. Malo, and the other towns upon the coast.
On Monday the transports, with the third regiment on board, reached Jersey; and on the following day they were to land. That reinforcement would make, including invalids, emigrants and militia, the whole military force in Jersey, seven thousand men.
Upon the above intelligence being received at Guernsey, expresses were sent out to Admiral Macbride, who was cruizing round that island. Sir James Saumarez in the Crescent, with the Echo brig under his command, was then in Guernsey Road, and was ready to do everything for the protection of the islands that judgment and gallantry could effect. The first battalion of Seaforth's corps (the 78th), was still on board transports in Guernsey Road, but was to be landed on Wednesday or Thursday Iast. In short, every measure was taking that could possibly tend to a respectable defence against the great force that seemed to be coming against them. The force at Guernsey consists of the 78th and 80th regiments, five companies of invalids, some artillery, and the militia of the island ; making, in all, 5000 men.
Christopher Saverland, Esq. one of the Surveyors of the Post-Office, who has been engaged in establishing Post-Offices in Guernsey and Jersey, arrived at Weymouth on Thursday, from the latter island, in the Rover packet, commissioned by Lord Balcarras with dispatches to Government and Lord Howe; those for London he forwarded by express, and immediately set off for Portsmouth to deliver those for Lord Howe. His Lordship immediately summoned all the officers of the fleet on board the Royal Charlotte.
A number of the inhabitants both of Jersey and Guernsey have sent off their wives and children, with their most valuable property. But we trust that their alarm will he of short duration, and that these islands will remain, as they so long have been, as proofs of our present and former prowess, and therefore honourable appendages to the Crown of Great Britain.
Yesterday letters were received in town by the Lord Mayor, and other persons, from Jersey and Guernsey, dated the 28th of March, which state, that the alarm in Jersey had considerably subsided. The force landed upon the isle of Choisey amounted only to 2000 men !! and the Carmagnol frigate, of 44 guns, had been wrecked upon that island, but the crew were saved. The circumstance of her firing a number of guns of distress had occasioned part of the alarm in Jersey.



Extract of a letter from Weymouth, March 31.

"A vessel just come in from Guernsey, which left that place at five o'clock yesterday, says, the Marquis Dresmay was just arrived there from Jersey, that 4000 men were taken from the army destined against Jersey, to meet the Royalists in La Vendee, who were in great force. That the Catmagnol frigate had been lost on Choisey island, which gave rise to the report of the army being there, it being only that crew; that the Captain had been guillotined for not resisting what he supposed a superior force."

The most positive advice has been received that the Royalists are now masters of all the country from Nantes to Fontenoy, and from the sea as far as Saumur: the island of Noirmontier is again in their possession. Their army, which is computed at 100,000 men, is divided into 4 detachments; the principal, under Charette, on the banks of the Loire; threatening at once Nantes & Angers; a second under Roche Jaquelin is stationed in the neighbourhood of Choilet; a third is before Niort; and the fourth on the coast, in the hope of receiving succours from this country; they want arms and provisions: should government speedily devise the means of supplying them with those articles, we might look with confidence to an immediate termination of that anarchy, to which France has fallen a victim.
Another expedition against Dunkirk, both by sea and land, is said to be now actually projecting by the British government; it is for this purpose, we understand, that the gun-boats at Deptford and Woolwich are preparing. Gaining a sea-port on the northern frontier or-France, would tend more to forward the cause of the Allies than any other acquisition of post that could at this time be made.



Extract of a Letter from Paris, March 25.

This morning at nine o'clock, in consequence of the verdict of the Revolutionary Tribunal given yesterday, the following persons were brought from the prison of the Conciergerie to the Place de la Revolution, where they suffered under the axe of the guillotine, viz. Hebert, Ronzin, Momoro, Vincent, Du Croquet, Kocq [?] a Dutchman, Col. Laumur, M. M. Bourgeois, Mazuel, La Boureau, Ancard, Le Clerc, Proly, Dessieux, Anacharsis Cloots, Pereira, Florent, Armand, Descombes, and Dubuison, convicted of being the authors and accomplices of a conspiracy which existed against the liberty and safety of the people, and against the exercise of the lawful authority, tending to trouble the State by a civil war, by arming the citizens against each other, the object of which was, in the course of the present month Ventose, to dissolve the National Representation, to assassinate it's members and the patriots, to destroy the Republican Government, to seize upon the sovereignty of the people, and to give a tyrant to the State.
"Laboureau, Member of the Revolutionary Committee of the Section- of Marat, and first Commissioner of the Council of Health, implicated in this affair, has been acquitted and set at liberty.- The total number of prisoners is 6597."

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

Frankfort, March 23.

THE Imperial Court, and the principal Circles of the Empire, whose conduct hitherto has been influenced by a supposition, that the King of Prussia dared not withdraw from the combination, have been so alarmed by the determined tone of that monarch's declaration, that they have hastily expressed their willingness, to accede to all the demands which have been made for furnishing supplies of provisions and forage to the Prussian monarch; - but, it is feared that their compliance will now be ineffectual.
- It is generally understood that Lord Malmsbury, availing himself or his Prussian Majesty's recent determination, has engaged for the service of Great Britain the 30,000 men, the amount of the surplus of the contingent. If therefore his Majesty were inclined to accede to the wishes of the Coaleseed Powers, he must raise a fresh army, - which, whatever expedition might be used, could not be put on the boarders of the Rhine before the end of May. The ultimate decision, however, will not be known till the return of the courier dispatched to Berlin. In the mean time this part of the frontier is much exposed; but the French have hitherto remained inactive behind their intrenchments.
Ostend, March 29. Our intelligence from the armies hitherto contains nothing but accounts of skirmishes between the advanced posts. The Duke of York has removed his head-quarters to St.Amand, three leagues from Valenciennes; but those of the Prince of Coburg, and of Gen. Clairsait, remain still at Valenciennes & Tournay.
The 6000 Hanovarian troops, destined to reinforce the army of the Duke of York, are arrived at Tirlemont.





LONDON, April 3.

The following interesting intelligence was yesterday received by Mr. Tayler of Lloyd's Coffee-house, in a letter from Barbadoes - It had been printed at Bardadoes, by order of the President.

Pilgrim, Feb. 10, 1794.
Despatches from Sir John Jervis, K.D. Commander in Chief of his Majesty's naval forces upon the expedition against Martinico, dated the 8th instant, to his honour the president, mention, that the fleet under command of Sir John arrived in Bay Marin on the evening of the 5th instant, and that Sir Charles Grey landed with the troops early the next morning, and there was reason to believe General Dundas made good his landing a few hours sooner.
Sir Charles Grey took pose at la Reviere Salee before dark, without any other loss than a Sergeant of the 9th regiment, who having just recovered of a fever sunk through fatigue.
Brigadier General White separated from Sir Charles on the march, to take possession of Ance d'Arlet, the Grande Ance, Fort Solomon, and the heights which commanded Islet aux Ramiers.
Soon after he march of the army, Captain Rogers, having a squadron of frigates and transports :with Sir Charles Gordon's brigade, sailed for Case Navire, with a view to operate on that side, and to awe St.Pierre. By reports of Americans and deserters, Rochambeau was employed, while our army was in motion, in exertions to persuade the Mulattoes and Negroes in the quarter of Saint Anne, to go into Fort Bourbon, and the Admiral has reason to think with little success.
At eight o'clock on the morning of the 7th, the Admiral dispatched the Nautilus sloop of war, with two ordnance transports and two victuallers, for the support of the troops under Brigadier General White; who, after a very severe march, and some attack of Posts, &c. arrived in the rear of Cape Solomon battery and Cape Bourg; where the President has the happiness to inform the Public, the Brigadier soon hoisted the British flag; and meant to attack the posts which intervened between Cape Solomon and Pidgeon island.
On the morning of the 8th instant, Cape Solomon battery and Cape Bourg were taken without any loss whatever. Brigadier General White informs, that Sir Charles Grey had arrived on Lametin, and that the enemy had taken post opposite to the Islet des Ramiers, where the Brigadier intended to attack them as soon as he received his artillery, which the Admiral acquaints the President reached him early enough to answer all his purposes.
The inhabitants of the quarter in which the Bay Marin is, were coming in very fast, and reported that La Trinite was in possession of Major General Dundas.





The Queen Charlotte packet, from Bengal and Madras, is arrived at Falmouth. She left Bengal the 17th of November; arrived at St.Helena the 26th of January and sailed again the 29th.
Advices from Bengal state the death of Mobaruck ul Dowla, Nabob of Bengal, and the succession of his son to the throne.
We are sorry to state a considerable failure in the crops, in consequence of a violent hurricane on the coast.
Tippoo Sultan continued to express the most conciliatory sentiments towards the English, and the Company's affairs in general were in a very prosperous and improving state.

Letters from Leghorn, of the 12th ult. state, that a great number of French privateers, stoutly armed and manned, infest the whole coast from the gulph of Spezia as far as Portofino, search every ship, and carry off many prizes.- No news of any particular importance had then arrived from Corsica. Bastia and Calvi are both said to continue to make a most obstinate defence against the British arms. The circumstance of Lord Hood's being with his whole squadron in Corsica, has emboldened the French privateers to commit their depredations.- It is reported that a Spanish division of ships of war is under sail towards the Hieras, and will co-operate with the British fleet in the Mediterranean.

Extract of a Letter from Cowes, April 1.

By a neutral vessel which arrived here lately from Brest, we learn that, the French fleet there consists of 28 sail of the line, ready for sea, and all well manned: that part of the fleet, consisting of six ships, had a few days ago sailed on a cruize; that an invasion of England and the islands of Guernsey and Jersey was much talked of, so soon as their armament was complete, and the transports, which were preparing, were ready to receive the troops.
"By a gentleman just arrived from Guernsey, we hear, all was safe and quiet there on Sunday last."

One great cause of apprehension in Paris is, lest some descent should be made at the mouth of the Seine, and Rouen should fall into the hands of the invaders, as in such a case the source of Parisian supply would be completely cut off, and a declaration against the prevailing faction, in favour of limited Monarchy, would be the certain and immediate consequence.- Perhaps the sole object of the enemy in the armament, of which so much has been said, is to prevent the above apprehended descent upon their own country. Havre-de-Grace is situated at the mouth of the Seine.

Some further intelligence was said to be received yesterday, of a later date than that of the last printed Parisian accounts, which stated, that a violent clamour had been raised in the Clubs, demanding the immediate purgation of the Temple, yet tainted, as it was described to be, with the crimes of Royalty; in consequence of which a public accusation was ordered to be drawn up, against the Princess Elizabeth!
Paris, which formerly consumed in winter 3000, and in summer 1800 oxen weekly, is restricted by a late resolution of the Commune, to 24 oxen, 60 calves, and 32 sheep per day. Notwithstanding the number of prisoners appears by the last proces verbal to exceed 6000, and by private advices which have been received from Paris, amounts to no less than 12,000, the above resolution allows one ox, two calves, and one sheep only, for the sick in the prisons. This measure realizes the plan of Civic Lent suggested by Barrere.
Government have received advice, that a large fleet of Danish ships, laden with corn for France, are soon expected down the North sea, under convoy of one or two men of war; to prevent. captures; but the Arrogant, of 74 guns, and the Adamant, of 50 guns, with several stout frigates, are sent out on a cruize in those seas, with positive orders to take and bring into our ports any Danish or Swedish ships which they meet, laden with corn, so that it is very possible our ships may have a contest with the Danish convoy.
Letters from the Continent say, a Peace will very soon take place. Negotiations for that purpose have been carrying on for some time between the Belligerent Powers; and the people of Brabant entertain the most confident expectations of a speedy and amicable adjustment of all differences between the Belligerent Powers.
Thursday the Surry meeting, on the motion of Mr. Fox, unanimously
Resolved, "That it is the opinion of this meeting that it is their duty to refuse any countenance to private subscriptions, at the requisition of ministers, for public purposes; but that we are at all times ready to stand forward, in any constitutional manner, in support of our King and Constitution, against all foreign and domestic enemies."
The idea of the landed interest subscribing for the protection of it's property, and the internal security of the different counties, is certainly patriotic in the truest sense of the word; and tho' it may be opposed in both Houses as unconstitutional, it is nevertheless highly becoming a great and spirited people, at the present alarming crisis.

The King's message to both Houses of Parliament has openly avowed and acknowledged it's expectation of an invasion of this country from France. The proposed augmentation of the militia, and the new-raised bodies of cavalry, will not be the only auxiliaries we shall obtain, nor the military power of the kingdom the only force we shall be able to display against these desperate invaders, if the errors of night, or the uncertainty of the elements, should permit them to land upon our soil. Let us look up to the virtuous peasants of the empire for our example, and call to mind that the first armies of Rome were her own citizens and husbandmen, and that in the defence of their temples, their constitution, and their hearths, every individual is a soldier by nature and necessity itself.
A reward of two hundred pounds has been offered in the Gazette for the apprehension of the person who forged the letter addressed to the Mayor of Newcastle, stating that the French had landed in Northumberland.

A person of the name of Witrick, a man of property, was tried, and capitally convicted at Norfolk assizes, for having shot a horse foal which had strayed upon his estate at Skeyton. Witrick had been admitted to bail, on his own surety, to take his trial for this supposed trifling offence, and surrendered himself accordingly; sentence of death was, however, passed on him; but he was afterwards reprieved. At the same assizes a bill of indictment was found against a clergyman, for neglecting to do his duty on divers days at his parish church.

At the assizes at Taunton, for the county of Somerset, Thomas Withys, for the wilful murder of his wife at Pilton, received sentence of death, was executed on Monday, and his body delivered for dissection; and Joseph Small Salt, (whose trial was put off at the last assize) for forgery, also received sentence of death, and is to suffer on Wednesday the 9th of April.

Cultivation of Potatoes,- The Bath Agriculture, &c. Society, have published an account of a new mode of cultivating potatoes from the shoots only, which they received authenticated in the fullest manner and on the most respectable authorities, from Ireland, and which goes to prove, that the crops raised from shoots, have been greater and better in quality than the crops raised the same season from whole potatoes and cuttings in similar soils, and on equal quantities of land; and from the calculations made in Ireland in favour of this practice, a national saving in that kingdom is apparent of 1,875,000 barrels of feed potatoes for feeding different kind of stock.
In general the mode is, on opening the potatoe stores in the spring, to strip off the shoots or runners which are found on them. and if longer than 5 or 6 inches, to reduce them to about that length, by cutting or division. The quantity is accumulated at pleasure, by laying them in small heaps, lightly covered with mould to preserve them fresh, till the planter chooses to plant them. They have been usually planted in small drills, opened by different implements, about 6 inches deep, in ground properly prepared. Some have set them perpendicular, others have laid them horizontally in the drills, at the distance of about 12 inches from each other, lightly covered with some suitable manure, and then by hoe or plough, returned the earth over them in a ridge; some have completely covered the shoots, others have suffered them to rise a little above ground. The time of planting has varied, for the purpose of experiment, and accidentally from February to June; but from all these times of planting, the crops seem to have exceeded all expectation, & in some instances were extremely flattering. The common practice has been to earth the drills, as the shoots advanced, to about the average height of 15 or 18 inches; the distances of the drills have varied from 2 to 3 feet. The intelligent Farmer will need only general hints of practice, & it is presumed the above will be sufficient.





SONG, on the TIMES.
AN INVASION WHO's AFRAID?
Tune,- A Cobler there was, &c.

ATTEND all good people to what I now sing;
God save us from Frenchmen, & God bless our King
For Frenchmen at home kill their fathers and brothers,
And uncles and aunts - nay, they kill their own mothers.

Derry down, down, down, derry down.

They force every tradesman to give up his wares,
For their vile assignats, for which nobody cares;
They may the shoemakers give shoes for this paper,
Or else to the guillotine quickly they caper.

The taylor, the weaver, the ploughman, and all,
To the guillotine's stroke must submit at a call,
Unless of this paper they eat and they drink,
Or keep their tounges quiet, and die in a fink.

Now hear, noble Britons ! - I'll tell you their views,
They mean to invade you, and do as they choose;
They think they have friends here to lend them a hand,
And spread fire and murder thro' this happy land.

But sorely mistaken, ye blood-hounds, advance, -
When Christians, with Britons you ne'er had a chance!
Now, Atheists profess'd, Law and King set aside,
And dare you with England the contest abide ?

Our faith is our armour, our laws are our shield;
In defence of our country, we'll all take the field :
On God, and our Valour, we place our reliance,
Advance then, ye monsters; - we bid you defiance.

Derry down, &c.





LONDON, April 5.

A dreadful instrument of destruction, contrived to throw ten bombs in a minute, has been lately invented by a foreigner; a model of which has been shewn and proved before the Prince of Wales, and several other persons of distinction. A public subscription, patronized by his Royal Highness and the Duke of York, is begun, for constructing one upon a scale sufficient to throw bombs of a very large dimension.
The present period forms in many respects a new era. The use of red-hot shot in a sea-fight is an expedient perfectly novel in the art of war, and may prove more destructive than any to which there has been recourse. Mr. Brodie, the celebrated inventor of the stove-grates, has received a large commission for furnaces, for our gun-boats, to heat the cannon balls, that we may be prepared to meet the French in their own way.
In consequence of the unusual number of persons now confined in Lancaster gaol for debt, Lord Kenyon, who is now on the circuit, has made an order of court, " That if any creditor who may have arrested the body of his debtor, previous to or during the term preceding the assizes, and does not declare against him within in three days previous to the assizes, then such prisoner shall be discharged from the said arrest and action."
A yeoman of 72, near Whitehaven, having lately made his will, a few days after called on the attorney to have it altered: saying he had forgotten to "tie up his wife from marrying again;" being asked her age, he said she was about his own, but added he "there's no knowing what coaxing may do with a woman."
A gentleman of Bath, last week, took a fancy to a handsome strong made little horse, of about fourteen hands high, in the possession of a farmer in the neighbourhood, and on enquiring the price, was asked twenty-five guineas. The gentleman offered twenty, which the farmer refused: And after some ineffectual attempts to make a bargain he offered to sell him at 5d. a pound, the gentleman bid him 4d. and it was accepted.-The horse weighed 7c. 3qrs. 23lb. which at 4d. per pound, amounted only to �14. 17s. at which price the farmer very honourably delivered him to his new master.



Postscipt.
LONDON, April 5.

THE Dutch and Flanders mails which arrived yesterday, bring no accounts of any important operation or engagement either on the part of the enemy or on that of the allies.
There is said to have been a misunderstanding between Lord Hood and General Dundas, about the manner of carrying on the attack upon Bastia, in Corsica; in Consequence of which, General Dundas, we understand, has resigned his command, and is now upon his return to England.
The only son of the late unfortunate Theodore, King of Corsica, Colonel Frederick, is now alive, & resident in London; his grand-daughter now lives at Alphington, Devon, whose brother was an officer in the British army, and was killed in the action at German town in America.
We have received letters from the island of Tortola, in the West Indies, dated Feb. 23. which state, that the whole island of Martinique was in the hands of the British troops, except Fort Bourbon, now called Fort Republique; and that this fort was besieged with every prospect of immediate success.
General Rochambeau had ordered a sortie to be made, but which proved totally unsuccessful, the French having been driven back into the fort, with very considerable loss. The action which took place upon this occasion, was at first very severe; but upon the French being repulsed, a great many of them were killed. The English have to lament, upon this occasion, the loss of a most gallant officer, in Colonel Campbell: he is said to have advanced in pursuit of the enemy so far before any of our troops, as to have fallen accidentally by their fire.
When this sortie failed, upon the success of which the French had placed the greatest hopes, Rochambeau wished to capitulate - Upon this a council of war was held; Rochambeau was suspended, and the chief command given to Belgarde, the mulatto chief, who before had taken upon himself a principal command.
At St. Pierre, 42 vessels were taken- It was generally imagined that Fort Republique could not hold out long, from the division which had taken place there, or from the attack which was immediately to be made upon it when he accounts came away.




NORTHAMPTON.
Saturday Evening, April 5.

The Rev.Dr. Nicoll, Chancellor of Wells, and Chaplain in Ordinary to his Majesty, has obligingly engaged to preach the Preservative Sermon for the present year.

On Monday last a general meeting of the county of Leicester was held at the castle in compliance with a requisition made to the High Sheriff by the Grand Jury at the last assizes, for the purpose of opening a subscription in order to carry into execution a plan for the internal protection and securing of the country at the present crisis, when several resolutions were agreed to, with only one dissenting voice, and a subscription opened, which we are informed, already amounts to near �3000. -- His Grace the Duke of Beaufort subscribed �500. the Earl of Harborough �300. J.P. Hungerford, W. Pochin, J.F. Turner, and P.A. Curzen, Esqs. �200. each; Sir Cha. Cave, Sir C.G. Hudson, Barts. and G. Moore, Esq. (the High Sheriff) �100. each; the Parish of Coffington 100 guineas, &c. &c.
A meeting for the above purpose was held at Huntingdon yesterday se'nnight, when the gentlemen of the county not only entered into a liberal subscription, but also agreed to provide horses and regimentals at their own expense; to enrol themselves into a body of Volunteer cavalry; and, in case of actual invasion, cheerfully to obey his Majesty's commands, and become subject to Military Law.- [See the advertisement in 1st page.]
The Grand Jury at Warwick assizes, took into consideration the plan proposed for the augmentation of the forces for internal defence, and recommended to their attention by a meeting of several noblemen and gentlemen of the county, held at the St.Alban's tavern, in London, on the 21st ult. and they resolved to co-operate with that meeting in every measure deemed necessary for the internal defence of the kingdom. At the St. Alban's tavern, the following sums were subscribed for this purpose; the Marquis of Hertford, and Earls of Aylesford and Warwick, each �500. the Earl of Yarmouth, and Lords Willoughby de Broke and Middleton, �300. each; Sir J. Mordaunt, Sir G. Shuckburgh, Sir H.G. Calthorpe, Sir E. Smythe, Bart, �100. each; and H. Holbech, C. Colmore, B. Dewes, A. Grimes, A. Bracebridge, H. Legge, Esqrs, also �100. each; C.E. Repington, and J.W. Knightley, Esqrs, �50 each.
The High Sheriff for this county has appointed a meeting on the same occasion, to be held on Thursday next at the County hall.-[See Advertisement
The Militia throughout the kingdom have received orders from the War-office, to be ready to take the field by the 10th of May.
At the late assizes for the county of Monmouth, three causes were tried wherein Messrs. Dixon, Soame, and others (Assignees of Smith & Curre, late bankers at Chepstow) were plaintiffs, and three persons charged as Debtors to the Bankrupts' estate, were defendants. Soon after the house of Smith and Curre failed, their 5 guinea notes were currently bought and sold at three, three and a half, and four guineas each; and those who had accounts to settle with the bank tendered these notes, which the assignees refused, unless the holders would prove that they gave a bona fide value. This was objected to; and the purport of the present action was to recover sums of money said to be due from the defendants. who set up as a defence the cash-notes of the Monmouthshire bank, and which they contended they were competent to do, without proving from whom they received such cash-notes, the same being the current country paper: Of this opinion, the learned judge who tried the causes most clearly was, and the plaintiffs were non-suited.
At the assizes for the county of Warwick, which ended on Monday- Susanna Johnston (convicted at the Summer assizes for 1792, but then respited) for a robbery in a dwelling house; Mary Price, for privately stealing in the shop of Messrs. Barker and Lander, of Birmingham; and Wm. Barratt, for highway robbery, received sentence of death;- John Wheeler and Eliza. Hill, for receiving goods, knowing them to be stolen, were sentenced to be transported for 14 years; and 12 were sentenced to be transported for 7 years.
On the 25th ult. a fire broke out at the house of Wm. Wilson, of Great Billing, near this town, occasioned by the chimney taking fire, which communicated to a beam that was laid into it. Happening in the day-time, no lives were lost; but the whole of the premises, with a barn adjoining, and part of the furniture, were destroyed in the space of about an hour.
Wednesday morning last, John and Nathan Nichols, father and son, were executed at Bury, pursuant to their sentence, for the wilful murder of Sarah Nichols, daughter of the one; and sister of the other.- The father and brother way-laid the helpless girl in the evening of the 14th of September Iast: the former drew a stake out of a hedge, and giving it to his son, urged him with threats to commit the horrid deed; whereupon. the boy striking his sister on the head, knocked her down, and repeated his blows till he had deprived her of life; he afterwards at his father's desire, went and tied one of her garters round her neck, and dragged her into a ditch, where she was found the next morning. Nathan Nichols was 19, and his unfortunate sister, Sarah Nichols, 17 years of age. --On their arrival at the fatal tree, they both persisted in their innocence, and notwithstanding the very ample confession of the boy, he then said, "that his father was innocent for all he knew' ," of the fact for which they were about to suffer.- The behaviour of the elder Nichols was very undaunted, as he gave away his hat and neckcloth to some persons standing in the crowd, with apparent unconcern; and, on ascending the ladder, addressed himself to the spectators, saying, " Life is but a short passage, and now I am at the last step; of the crime for which I am going to suffer I am entirely innocent." - After hanging the usual time, the body of the elder Nichols was conveyed to Fakenham, to be hung in chains, and the younger one taken to Bury for dissection.- John Nichols was about 60 years of age, and had been many years employed as hedge carpenter to the Duke of Grafton.

MARRIED: On Monday last, at Potsgrove, Beds, George Meacher, Esq. of Ivinghoe, Bucks, to Miss. Dover; of the former place, a young Lady of respectable family;- Wednesday, at Wolverton, Bucks, by the Rev. Mr. Propert, the Rev. Wm. Corbet Wilson, one of the chaplains of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, to Miss Catherina Harrison, daughter of Tho. Harrison, Esq. of Wolverton-Place.- Tuesday, at Mountforrel, Mr Mitchell, to Miss D. Tyler, sister to the Lady of John Noon, Esq. the late High Sheriff for Leicestershire.
DIED.] On the 17th ult. Suddenly, Mr. Arrowsmith, late of the Bull inn, Hockliffe, Beds - Tuesday, at his farm-house near Leicester, Mr. Edw. Blower.




Sunday and Tuesday's Posts.

A remarkable large ox was killed on Tuesday last, at the Marquis of Donnegall's, at Fisherwick, which weighed as under - the carcass 1984lb. - The hide 177lb.- and the tallow 200lb.
On Saturday the 8th ult. died, at Richmond, Miss Hobart, niece to the present Earl of Buckinghamshire; she had been from her childhood in a lingering state of health, owing to her having swallowed several needles and pins, which she had got a habit of putting into her mouth.




ANECDOTE. At a late meeting where Dr. Priestley and one or more clergy of the established church were present, the Doctor was requested to give a toast, which he did, saying " The SANS CULOTTES "of England." " O says the Clergyman, I shall drink that with glee; for the Doctor must mean the single ladies of England, as the married only wear the breeches:" The Doctor appeared rather dissatisfied with this perversion of his sentiment; and the Clergyman was requested to favour the company with his toast, the Doctor admonished the president to beware of that gentleman; "who, says he, if you give an inch, will take an ell." "I thank you Doctor (replied the Clergyman) for the hint. I will give these three L's, Liberty, Loyalty and Lawn Sleeves." The Doctor was so chagrined that he immediately withdrew.




COUNTRY NEWS.

CAMBRIDGE, March 28. On Wednesday morning, between twelve and one o'clock, the post boy carrying the mail from Newmarket to Cambridge, was stopt near the four-mile stables by a single highwayman, who demanded his money and bags, then pushed him off the cart, and took from him the Cambridge Strap, containing the Yarmouth, Norwich, Lynn, Thetford, Brandon, Bury and Newmarket bags for Cambridge.
An inquisition was taken at Newmarket on Monday last, before Thomas Bullen, gent. coroner for this county, on view of the body of Wm. Ransome, a passenger on the Lynn Stage coach, who being intoxicated, fell from the coach box in the parish of Snailwell, and the hind wheel going over his head, fractured his skull, so that he instantly died. The deceased was a sailor, had been absent from home upwards of 5.years, and was on his return to his family and friends when the accident happened.
A most extraordinary circumstance happened at Bury in the night between Saturday and Sunday last : A person who was on a visit in Guidhall-street, actually walked out of the one pair of stairs windows into the street, in his sleep, and wandered about the town in his shirt for some hours; whether he continued sleeping, or was rendered insensible from the fall, is not for us to determine, but he was discovered about 4 o'clock in the morning in Westgate-street, when he complained of the cold, and requested to be conveyed to the Three Goats Heads, as he said he should then know where he was. A surgeon was immediately sent for, who ordered him to be directly put to bed, as he had received some severe bruises in the fall, but happily they are thought to be no ways dangerous.
LEWES, March 31.On Friday last, between eleven and twelve o'clock in the forenoon, a very uncommon noise was heard in the air at this place, and in most other parts of the country, which has given rise to a great variety of conjectures. It was of more than a minute's duration, and has been attributed to thunder, the report of cannon, the blowing-up of some powder magazine or mill, and to the bursting of a fire-ball, which many assert they saw fall at the instant; but we think the most probable conjecture is, that it was a slight shock of an earthquake, as the fixtures in many houses at the distance of near 30 miles from each other were observed to totter at the time.
