FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
Hundsrucken, Feb. 9.
THE accounts of the Republicans having abandoned the neighbourhood of Lautern, Deux Ponts, St. Wendel, &c. are confirmed; they retired chiefly towards the Saar. They committed the greatest excesses at St.Wendel, and their plan seems to have been to pillage all the interior environs of the Moselle; but the good dispositions made by Capt. Schulz, who commands at Birkenfield, and the accounts that the forest of Hoch was furnished with a number of German peasants in arms, made the. enemy give up their plan, and retire with precipitation; between Niderkirchen and Vorschweiler, they left a number of waggons laden with baggage, which they returned afterward, to set fire to, but the peasants had carried them away. German troops at present occupy St.Wendel; a corps of Prussians, under Major General Kohler, is on the march to cover the heights of Kirchbourg, Kastellauw, and Simmein. The city of Deux-Ponts, entirely exhausted by different contributions and pillages, suffered again in the most cruel manner, when the French entered it on the 4th; the inhabitants were ordered to pay 50.000 livres,.to deliver up all their arms of every description, powder, salt-petre, &c. all their gold, silver, iron, steel, copper, lead, pewter, &c. all their linen and flax; all the cloth in the warehouses and shops; all the horses, with their harness, cattle, hides, saddles, and bridles; all clothes of every sort, and all the provisions; the inhabitants only to keep what was absolutely necessary for their own consumption.
Nantes, Feb 15. Vielaris has been shot at Noirmontier; the guillotine continues to be occupied. and the commission ad hoc dispatches, by 4 or 500 at a time, the wretched banditti which they bring us from all parts; they shoot or drown them, and bury them 40 and 50 in a grave, which occasions such a stench that we are in fear of some contagious disorder breaking out; fresh graves are digging, and the others covering with earth. This will purify the air, but the victims are still very numerous, particularly towards the quarter of Chesne.
Paris, Feb. 23. Thomas Paine has written to the society of the Cordeliers, from his prison, to request their interference; but the only answer he received was his own discourse in favour of the King.
LONDON, March 4.
Advice has been received that soon after the evacuation of Toulon, Lord Hood was ordered to land his troops in Corsica, and second the efforts of the brave inhabitants of that island to shake off the French yoke. These orders have been executed. Lord Hood sent a party of his fleet with a good body of land forces against Fort Mortella, which, after a spirited attack both by sea and land for two days, and as resolute a defence, was forced at last to submit to the English.
The following intelligence to the above effect had been received at Leghorn on the 12th ult. by persons arrived there in ships from Capo Corso and Centuri.
Several English men of war entered the gulph of St.Florenzo; and after having directed their fire upon some adjacent heights, they effected a landing of the troops whom they brought with them, at a place called Pirallo, at the distance of four Italian miles from fort Mortella. This latter fort being immediately after attacked by land and sea, surrendered, after a resistance of two days. Soon after, the British troops, joined by some of the Corsicans, went to attack another fort called Fornali, the issue of which expedition has not yet transpired. At the same time a most violent cannonade was heard at Capo Corso.
Other passengers arrived from Capo Corso at Leghorn, bring intelligence, that several British frigates having appeared before Centuri, they dispatched a boat with an officer thither, to summon the commandant to declare himself; the later immediately hoisted the tri-coloured flag, and fired upon the English.
The latter then directed so violent a cannonade against the place, that all the inhabitants fled. The British commander sent six cutters into the harbour, which set fire to all the Corsican ships, and part of the crew went on shore, and plundered all the store-houses and magazines of merchandize, at and contiguous to Centuri; after which they went on board the cutters, and returned to the squadron, which immediately set sail.
The official confirmation of all these particulars was hourly expected at Leghorn when these accounts came away.
It is said, but with what degree of truth we cannot pretend to say, that our Cabinet, not wishing to push Genoa to extremities, had resolved to raise the blockade of that port ; that orders were transmitted to Lord Hood to that effect ; and that the blockade was actually raised on the 8th of February, and that as a consequence of this measure a great number of merchantmen had actually arrived at Leghorn from Genoa.
Yesterday an officer arrived at Lord Grenville's office with letters from Francis Grose, Esq. his Majesty's Lieutenant Governor of Botany Bay, and from Captain Gridley King, Lieutenant Governor of Norfolk Island, which mention that the colonies were in a flourishing situation through the industry of the convicts, &c.
Letters from the West-Indies, of a posterior date to those which were received a few days ago state, that Sir John Jervis and Sir Charles Grey were gone to attack Martinique.
We are informed that Admiral Gardner's expedition to the Mauritius is entirely laid aside ; and that the stores embarked for that purpose are re-landed.
The French are fortifying Maubeuge and the entrenched camp of Rousies more and more, and have opened the sluices to lay part of the ground between that fortress and the river Sambre under water.
The Commandant of Douay, though it be difficult to approach that place, situate among the marshes, finding that the number of the Austrians increased daily in those environs, has pierced a dyke to encompass that place also with water.
Saturday morning, the soldiers ordered for foreign service, marched from the Parade in St. James's-park to Greenwich, where they embarked for Ostend, under the command of Sir James Murray.
Sir James Murray is appointed to the Command of the 18th Regiment of Infantry, vacant by the death of Sir John Sebright.
The addition of cavalry about to be made to the different regiments of Militia, is to be in proportion the number of companies in each regiment; to the Yorkshire regiments ten troops of cavalry are to be attached to the Cornwall two, making an increase of one fifth.
Monday Mr. Justice Addington attended the War office, and passed upwards of fifty wounded soldiers from St Margaret's parish to Chelsea hospital.- One of these brave fellows experienced an escape very little short of a miracle. He received a bullet in the pit of his stomach, which missed his heart, and other vital parts, and was cut out of his back. Some of the others were desperately wounded.
Preparations are making for throwing several thousand additional acres of the Mendip Hills in Somersetshire into cultivation. It is understood, that several extensive tracks of those lands will be employed in the culture of buck or French wheat. This is an article exceedingly profitable to the farmer, as it thrives well in sandy or any other kind of poor land; rolled and ploughed in, when green, it makes a very good manure, that will last for three years; reaped and threshed, the' produce is very great, and the grain is an excellent food for swine and all kinds of poultry. One third of buck wheat, given with oats to horses, serves to purify their blood, and smooth their coats. Perhaps there is no article of culture so profitable on poor land.
As a proof of the forwardness of the season, green pease have already made their appearance in Covent-Garden market, where they are retailed to the curious in vegetables at the moderate price of two guineas a quart !
A decree of divorce was last week given out from the Commissary (or Ecclesiastical) Court in Scotland, at the instance of her Grace the Dutchess of Hamilton, against the Duke of Hamilton, for crim. con. by which the marriage is dissolved, and either of the parties may marry again, with certain restrictions as to the after marriage of the Duke, laid down in the laws of Scotland, following the Roman law in this respect, which is different to the laws of England. We understand that these restrictions prohibit the person who is divorced from marrying the person with whom he or she had, by the judgment of the Commissaries, been found to have cohabited.
On Saturday as two soldier's wives and a child were going in a boat to see their husbands embark; in passing through London Bridge the boat unfortunately overset, by which accident the waterman, women, and child perished.
The number of vessels lost on the coast off Lincolnshire, Yorkshire, and Durham, during the late high winds, are computed at 60. - Most of the crews perished.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
Copenhagen, Jan. 4.
INTELLIGENCE has been received here, that a cutter belonging to the Danish navy, mounting 18 guns, having met in the Bay of Biscay with the French ship the Imperieuse, of 80 guns, the Captain and crew of the latter boarded the Danish ship, and notwithstanding that the Danish officer produced the King of Denmark's commission, his ship was searched in every part; all the Captain's chests and even his private papers were examined, and he and his crew, after having been subjected to every species of insult, were confined, and the vessel taken possession of in the name of the Convention.
LONDON, March 6.
Advice is just received, that the French Governor of Martinique has sent a flag of truce to Sir Charles Grey, with an offer of surrendering that island on certain conditions.
Letters have been received within these two days from Leghorn, of date the 14th ult two days later than the intelligence which has been already communicated of Lord Hood's descent upon Corsica. By these letters we learn, that Captain Nelson, in the Agamemnon of 64 guns, had intercepted a convoy of 14 vessels, bound from Genoa to Corsica, laden with provisions and military stores. We likewise learn, that the Fortitude had been placed against the battery of St.Florenza, which she cannonaded for several hours. She was on fire three different times, from having been struck by the red-hot shot; but the fire was each time very easily extinguished. She had six men killed, and about 50 wounded. The effect of her fire upon the battery was not ascertained when the account came away.
The Royalists in La Vendee, who have been so often extirpated by the National Conventionists, and have as often risen from the dead, are at this moment in as great force as they have been at any period of the last year; and it now appears that the Chiefs of that party have been actively, though with secrecy, employing all the winter months to collect a very formidable force against the opening of the campaign; and such as will induce our Government to send them succours. The Royalists are now attempting to gain some port, where our troops may land with safety; and Lord Moria is arrived at Jersey, in order to be on the spot to receive the speediest intelligence from them. Government has, there is reason to believe, the most certain information of the strength of their force, which promises the most important advantages. The who country of the Bas Limosin is in arms against the Convention; and private letters state, that M. de Percy, who commanded the Royalists at Lyons, and retired to Rovergne after the evacuation of that city, is now in the Bas Limosin country, at the head of 6000 men, and is making the best of his way to join the insurgents of La Vendee.
Letters from Paris, which have escaped the vigilance of the committees, state, that the difficulty of procuring provisions in that metropolis has given rise to much uneasiness. The people demand a KING and BREAD; and the Deputies dare no longer to shew themselves in public, unless in repairing to the Convention, where they daily hear unpleasant complaints. The two commissioners who have been represented as sick at Angers, were taken & killed by the Royalists in the action of St. Folgent. These letters further state, what we have already mentioned, that Gen. Moulin did not, as his party have represented, kill himself as a staunch Republican, but was dispatched with a pistol, by la Roche Jaquelin; and that the infection which broke out at Nantes, by the putrification of 9000 of the Royalists, who had been either guillotined or shot there, has occasioned in that city an epidemic disorder which carries off a great number of the inhabitants.
Notwithstanding the great diminution of his territory, Tippoo Saib is said to possess a more formidable military force than ever. An inundation of French emigrants has greatly increased his European troops, which from the same source is likely to derive still greater augmentation. This circumstance will probably render it advisable for the East-India Company to maintain their present great and expensive establishments.
When the President of the Bloody Tribunal asked the late Queen of France whether she had any thing more to say in her defence, she answered, - "Nothing - I was Queen, and you dethroned me - I was a Wife, and you murdered my Husband - I was a Mother, and you tore me from my Children. Nothing is now left to me but my blood - Frenchmen, drink it - Glut yourselves with it ! All I ask is, that you will not keep me long in pain, but put a speedy end to my sufferings." - Yet though there were so many witnesses of this fact, there was not in all Paris one single Paper that dared to state it. Such is the Liberty of the Press in France !
The Governors and Guardians of the Foundling Hospital have benevolently resolved, to admit to the full benefit of the Hospital, as far as their funds will allow, the infant children of the Soldiers and Seamen employed in the service of their country, during the present war; and in order that the protection may be extended as universally as possible to these poor infants, the Society at the Crown and Anchor have opened a book for separate subscriptions, for the express purpose of "maintaining and educating the orphans, fatherless, and exposed and necessitous children of our brave seamen & soldiers, by sending them to that excellent charity the Foundling Hospital."
Tuesday advice was received in town that the transport on board of which are Messrs. Muir, Palmer, Skirving, and Margarott, was arrived at Portsmouth, on her way to Botany-Day.
Another new gaol for the County of Suffolk is immediately to be erected at Bury, on a plan similar to that of Ipswich.
A singular and melancholy instant of fatality. - A gentleman lately resident in Westminster had six children, the eldest of which was a young lady of twenty-two, the youngest a girl of seven. The eldest was suddenly seized with a large tumour in her throat, which gangrened and she died in three days; the two sister, who were next to her in age took the infection, and died within the week. The brothers, one of whom was almost the senior of Westminster school, and a youth of about eighteen next sickened, and died within a few days : Thus of six children, all in the bloom and vigour of youth and health, five died in somewhat less than a fortnight. One only escaped, by being at a distance. But what is very singular, none of the servants, nurses, or any of the medical attendants, were at all affected by the malady, which seems to have exerted it's peculiar and dreadful influence on the family alone.
MARRIED.] On Monday, by special licence, the Right Hon. Edward Earl of Oxford, to Miss Scott, daughter of the Rev. James Scott, of Itchin, near Southampton.- In consequence of a trip from York to Gretna Green, Capt. Stackpole, of the Guards, to Miss Wentworth, daughter of the late Sir T. Blackett, Bart. she is possessed of �10,000 in cash, & an estate of �3000 per ann.
DIED.] Lately at Bristol, aged 91, Miss Priscilla Stevens; she was the last survivor of twelve children, who all lived to very advanced ages, and all died unmarried.- A few days ago, Mrs. Calvert, relict of Peter Calvert, late of Hadham, in Hertfordshire, Esq. - Wednesday, in Lincoln's Inn Fields, aged 84, the Hon. Sir Henry Gould, Knt. one of his Majesty's Justices of the Court of Common Pleas, which distinguished office he held upwards of 30 years, with great honour.- Last week, in childbed, Lady Catherine Rodney, wife of the second son of Lord Rodney, and sister of the present Earl of Westmeath, of the kingdom of Ireland.

LONDON, March 8.
EARL Howe will hoist his flag on board the Queen Charlotte, at Portsmouth, in the course of the ensuing week.
Commodore Elphinstone, who was appointed Commandant at Toulon, on it's being first possessed by the English, is on his way to England, with two very fine ships of the line, taken in the port; - one of them is the Commerce de Marseilles, of 120 guns.
The grand camp is to be at Ashmore in Kent, instead of Coxheath, as was at first intended.
It is computed that not less than 40,000 working miners are daily employed (under ground) in the mines of Cornwall; and it is supposed there are a still greater number in other works of lead, coal, and copper, in different parts of Great Britain.
Militia - Respecting the augmentation of the militia, the proposal we understand to be the same as was adopted in the last war, by increasing the militia volunteer companies. In addition to this, in towns upon the sea-coast in particular, encouragement is also to be given for raising corps for their own defence.
Cavalry are also to be raised - Government to pay for the horses, arms, cloathing, &c. and temporary rank to be given to those who raise them, according to the number of men they procure.
It is likewise proposed to form troops of horse in some places, to consist of the Gentlemen and Yeomanry of counties, the officers of which are to have temporary commissions.- These bodies of cavalry to be attached to the particular county in which they are raised, unless called out by invasion, or the appearance of invasion, or for the suppression of riots in neighbouring counties. While on service, they are to receive pay.
Companies of infantry, for the batteries on the coast, are likewise proposed. Each company is to consist of a Captain, two Lieutenants, and 60 or 70 men, some of whom are to act as pioneers when necessary. The officers are to have commissions; they are to assemble every week to exercise, and to be paid on the day of exercise; and to have arms and accoutrements furnished at the expense of Government; and not to be removed from the places, for the particular safety of which they are intended, unless upon any great emergency.
Plans, of which the above, we understand, are the heads, have been sent to the Lord Lieutenants and principal Gentlemen of several counties, for their approbation.
The Taylor versus the Mouse. - An unlucky mouse having, a few days ago, made free with a cheese of a taylor in Stockport (for mice in these cases do not discriminate) - a trap was set - the culprit caught - and vengence threatened. The taylor is one of a society of liberty-men called Jacobins, and with a spirit suiting the fraternity, he resolved to guillotine the mouse. Still more to enrich the treat he dignified it with the appellation of a certain Royal Duke - make it a red jacket - and himself was to be the executioner. A meeting night was appointed for the deed - the hour of six the time - and the taylor was ready with his shrouded victim, trembling beneath his fingers, and a large knife in his right hand for the bloody purpose. Eagerly watching the clock for the signal, at the appointed moment he gave the fatal stroke - but so incautiously, that the animal darting it's little head aside, left the hand of the taylor exposed, and he fairly chopped off his fore-finger and thumb ! His victim, profiting by the circumstance, made a sudden dart, and escaped from it's manly enemy.- This we are assured is a fact - 'Tis hard to say, whether the folly, or the intention of the action is most remarkable.- Chester Courant.
NORTHAMPTON,

On Thursday last came on at Guildhall, London, before Lord Kenyon and a most respectable Jury, the long depending cause between Messrs. Inge and Carter, of Coventry, and Mr. Mason, Attorney. This was a Cause in the Nature of Quo Warranto, issued in the name of the King, upon the relation of Mr.John Carter, calling upon Mr. Mason to shew by what Authority he exercised the Office of one of the Common Council. After a trial of four hours, the Jury gave a verdict for the Defendant.

Bamford, of Cottingham, upon the highway, and robbing him of ten guineas and some silver; - Benjamin Pearce, for breaking into the shop of John Battams, of Stoke-Bruerne, cordwainer, and stealing thereout a number of lasts, women's shoes and slippers, together with a quantity of leather, and sundry other articles, the property of the said John Battams; and some working tools, &c. the property of Tho.

Upon his trial, he acknowledged the truth of every circumstance concerning the murder alledged against him. It was, however proved upon the oath of a sergeant in the marines, into which corps he inlisted in the year 1790, and remained therein for about eight months, that he was generally considered as non compos mentis, and on that account discharged from the said regiment; which also his discharge, produced in court, fully stated; and his unhappy weakness of intellect being likewise corroborated by other circumstances, he was (tho' every charge in the indictment was fully proved) acquitted of the murder in the eye of the law;- Richard Bird (a lad only 15 years of age) convicted of grand larceny, in stealing a silver watch, was, on account of his youth, and the excellent character he bore previous to the offence, only fined 1s and discharged; - Martha Beaumont, charged with stealing an old iron; and Robert Underwood, with having entered the house of Eliza. Bosworth, of Braybrook, in the night-time, with intent to rob the same - were delivered by proclamation; and Charles Robins, Richard Worrall, and Edw.

Suspicion falling on George Taylor, a farmer's servant in the neighbourhood, from the circumstance of his having shewn a number of guineas to a boy who drove his team, he was taken into custody on the Wednesday following, and upon being searched, 58 guineas were found in his pockets; when he immediately confessed the fact, and also another robbery. He was that night committed to Hitchin Bridewell for re-examination the next day; but in the morning was found dead, having put a period to his life by hanging himself with the strings belonging to his high-topp'd shoes. The Coroner's jury sat on the body, and brought in their verdict Self-Murder.
Tuesday John Manning was taken up at Birmingham, charged with coining halfpence. He was busily employed when the officers of the police made him a very unexpected visit, and found in his possession a number of dies, and upwards of a hundred lbs weight of counterfeit halfpence.

On Saturday evening, a woman who lives in a room at the sign of the Flaming Sword, Nottingham, having left her infant whilst she went down stairs, the child, by some means, was set on fire, and burnt in so terrible a manner before her return, that it expired the next day.

JACK's FIDELITY.
FROM DIRBIN'S "CASTLES IN THE AIR."
IF ever a sailor was fond of good sport.
Mongst the girls, why that sailor was I;
Of all sizes and sorts I'd a wife at each port;
But, when that I saw Polly Ply,
I hail'd her my lovely, and gov'd her a kiss,
And swore to bring up once for all;
And from that time Black Barnaby splic'd us till this,
I've been constant and true to my Poll.
And yet now all sorts of temptations I've stood;
For I afterwards sail'd round the world,
And a queer set we saw, of the devil's own brood,
Whenever our sails were unfurl'd;
Some with faces like charcoal, and others like chalk,
All ready one's heart to o'erhaul;
"Don't ye got to love me, my good girls, said I - walk -
I've sworn to be constant to Poll."
I met with a squaw, out at India beyond,
All in glass and tobacco-pipes dress'd :
What a dear pretty monster; so kind and so fond,
That I ne'er was a moment at rest.
With her bobs at her nose, & her quaw, quaw, quaw,
All the world like a Bartlemy doll:
Says I - "You Miss Copperskin, just hold your jaw,
For I shall be constant to Poll."
Then one near Sumatra, just under the line,
As fond as a witch in a play :
"I loves you," says she, "and just only be mine,
"Or by poison I�ll take you away."
"Curse your kindness," says I, --- "but you can't frighten me;
You don't catch a gudgeon this haul;
If I do take your rat-bane, why then, do you see,
I shall die true and constant to Poll."
But I 'scap'd from 'em all, tawney, lily, and black,
And merrily weather'd each storm;
And my neighbours to please, full of wonders came back,
But, what's better, I've grown pretty warm.
And so now to sea I shall venture no more,
For you know, being rich, I've no call;
So I'll bring up young tars, do my duty a-shore,
And live and die constant to Poll.
