hat admiral Mann, having taken on board four months' provifions and water at Gibraltar, had refumed his ftation before the Spanish port. Admiral Kichery, with his fquadron, was ready to put to fea; and a Spanish fquadron was likewife ready to fail at the fame time. Admira! Mann, apprised of this circumitance, has fent a meffage to the Spanish admiral, that it was his intention, at all events, to attack the French fhips, the moment they fhould get clear of the neutral port; and that if they were at all affitted by the Spaniards, they muft anfwer for the confequences. The Spanish admiral is faid to have dif claimed all intention of fuccouring the French in cafe of an attack from the Britith fquadron; and, in poof of his fincerity, affured admiral Mann, it was not his defign to fail for thirty hours after the French had put to fea. Richery, it is faid, perfifted in his intention of failing; fo that interesting accounts may speedily be expected from that quarter. This day, about four o'clock in the afternoon, fevera villains entered the houfe (the family being out) of Mr. Hood, Earl-freet, Blackfriars, with a falle key, and, after being there fome time, were feen by the oppofi e neighbours, who, forcing their way into the houfe, fecured two of them; the others, in the alarm, contrived means to escape backwards. They had packed up all the plate and other valuables; but it does not appear that they had been able to convey any thing off. What exhibits the daring atrocity of this attempt in the moft confpicuous point of view, is the publicity of the fitustion, only two doors from Bridge-freet, the greateft thoroughfare on Sunday after noon, perhaps, of any in the metropolis. 6 Was announced at the East India Houfe the arrival at Falmouth of the frip Chichefter, capt. Blake, laden with rice, from Bengal, which place fhe left on the ift of January last; arrived at Madras on the 15th; failed from thence on the 16th, and failed trom St. Helena on the 3d of April. Neaubort. Ife of Wight, June 8. This day the 12th regiment marched from this town for Coves, there to be embarked for the Eafl-Indies, under the command of colonel Harvey Afton. This regiment has been quartered here now above two months, during which time the conduct of both officers and men has been fo becoming and regular, as to reflect the highest credit on themfelves, and to caufe their departure to be much regretted. 9. A frigate is to be get in readiness to convey count Zepphelin to Germany, to bring over to England the prince de Wirtemberg, preparatory to his alliance with our amiable princefs Royal. The Cork fleet, under convoy of the Laura frigate, the greatest part of which was fuppofed to be taken, is almost all arrived at B rbadoes. 10. The royal family, accompanied by the marchioness of Bath, lady Cardigan, and lady Charlotte Bellaffis, went to Afcet. Heath races, and, in the evening, honoured the theatre, for the firit time this feafon, with their prefence; their majefties, on account of Mr. Quick not coming down on Tuesday, having pofiponed going that evening. II The marriage of the princels royal and the prince of Wirtemberg is expected to take place about the latter end of July. 13. The candidates for Weft minfer, by agreement, began the poll an hour carlier than ufual, in order that it might finally terminate at three o'clock, at which time the numbers were declared as follows: The hon. Cha. J. Fox 5160 48.4 2819 The high bailiff then returned the right hon. Charles James Fox and vice admiral fir Alan Gardner duly elected. Harwich, June 15. A letter was received here this morning, giving the difagreeable account of the Capture of his majesty's packet, the prince's of Orange, capt. Anthony Deane, on her paffage to Cruxhaven, by the Republi can French frigate and a brig cutter. The captain and crew were landed at Flushing, and, as prisoners of war, are kindly treated. No particulars are mentioned as to what became of the mail; it is fuppofed it was funk before the packet ftruck. She was taken last Sunday fenight, twelve hours after he had failed from Yarmouth. 17. Arrived 17. Arrived at the poft office, a mail from the Weft Indies, brought to Falmouth by the Prince Erneft packet in 27 days from Tortola. She hailed from St. Lucie on the 1 of May, leaving his majcity's fhips Tremendous, Arethufa, Hee, and Ganges, with feveral other vefiels of war, tranfsports, &c. the British troops having poffefled themselves of the whole island, except Morne Fortune, which they were preparing to attack, although the enemy had made a defperare refiitance, and the lofs on both fides very confiderable. On the 4th of May, Guadaloupe bearing S. by E. about four leagues, three frigates, ftanding from the fhore, gave chafe to the packet, one of which pu fued her till the evening, before the gave up. 18. An elegant new iron gate is now putting up at the entrance from St. James's Park to Spring-Gardens, in the room of the old decayed wooden gates lately pulled down it is contrusted in fuch a manner as to prevent a crowd: the bars admitting only one perfon though each at a time, though four people may pafs a-breaft through the four feparate divifions. Letters from St. John's, Antigua, ftate that they had received advice that the whole of the inland of Grenada. was in the poffeffion of the English, who were preparing, with the troops which failed with a finiral Chriftian, to make a defcent on Guadaloupe, which, from the force fent against the French at this place, it was imagined, would be an eafy conque!t. The chain of telegraphe, about to be erected between the admiralty and Portimouth, is to be completed immedutely.. BIRTHS. of New-ftreet, Spring Gardens, efq. of a fon. 28.
