FOREIGN NEWS.
CONSTANTINOPLE, August 25.
THE Porte has received advice, that the rebels, under Abdul Wechab, have been entirely dispersed, before Damascus, by the troops under the command of the Pacha of Acre, and the other Pachas. Mecca is again in the hands of the Turks.
VENICE, Sept. 8. The expedition fitting out at Ancona, is intended for the conquest of the Morea, which the French propose to hold for a time, as a compensation for Malta.
AMSTERDAM, Sept. 20. All our ships of war, gun-boats, and flat-bottomed boats, will be assembled at three principal stations, viz. in the Texel, at Helvoetsluys, and at Flushing. Each of these divisions, will be under a Rear-Admiral as commander; and Admiral De Winter will have the command in chief of the whole fleet.
LONDON,
MONDAY, OCTOBER 3.
Since our last, three Hamburgh Mails have arrived, with Paris papers to the 22d ult.
The chief contents of all the foreign papers relate, as usual, to the projected invasion of Great Britain, which naturally engrosses the attention of all civilized nations. St. Omer's, and not Ghent, is to be the grand head-quarters of the army; and official intelligence is said to have been received at Flushing, that the First Consul will arrive there shortly. Bonaparte's Deputies in Holland have fixed upon the principal stations for the boats now building in that country. The Texel is to be the rendezvous for the first division, Helvoetsluys for the second, and Flushing for the third. A Vice-Admiral is to be appointed for each, and Admiral De Winter is to have the chief command.
Whilst England is occupied in resisting one expedition, our attention is to be occupied by another against Ireland, to be fitted out from the ports of Normandy and Brittany.
All these arrangements are easily ordered; but in proof that there is some difficultly in their execution, we learn from the French papers, that their fleet endeavoured to put to sea from Toulon; but on perceiving Lord Nelson's fleet, it wisely returned into port.
The French are not only very active in fitting out their gun-boats, but even ships of the line; at Rochfort they have just launched a ship of 120, and another of 74 guns, whilst a third of 74 is to be ready in a month.
The bombardment of their ports is represented by the French as having produced but little effect, either on shore or amongst the shipping.
The accounts from Egypt and other parts of the Turkish Empire give additional proofs of the debility of the Government. The rebellious soldiers have joined the revolted Beys, and have gained so complete an ascendancy in Egypt, that Alexandria is the only port remaining under the Ottoman dominion, and that is so feebly garrisoned that it is not expected it will long hold out. In Syria, the rebels under Abdul Wechab had taken the city of Medina, and were in full march against Damascus. To prevent their further progress, the Porte had recourse to a most fatal expedient:- Dghezzar Pacha, the energetic old man, the defender of Acre, who has more than once already defied the authority of the Divan, has had the Pachalic of Damascus added to his extensive dominions, and is likewise to have a considerable remittance per month, which it is thought the Porte is in no condition to pay. Dghezzar has defeated Abdul Wechab, and re-taken Mecca; but to the further embarrassment of the Porte, he is now in a condition to demand any reward he may chuse for his services.
The Prince of Orange has sold publicly all the precious effects and ornaments of the Abbey of Coryey, to which he has succeeded by the indemnities.
The plague has broke out with fury at Salonica, having been brought there by two vessels from Alexandria. Numbers have fallen victim to it.
This morning arrived the Dublin Mail of the 29th ult. It brings advice of the execution of Hawley on Wednesday last, for High Treason. This man was not of the ordinary class of offenders. He had acted as store-keeper in Emmet's rebel depot, and previously to his death confessed that he was the person who shot Colonel Brown. He addressed the people at the place of execution, exhorting them to desist from all treasonable pursuits. He admitted the justice of his own sentence, and died in apparent penitence.
On Saturday morning Dennis D'Eon, a foreigner, was brought to Town from Brighton, by Townsend, who apprehended him at that place, on suspicion of being a spy from the French Government. The same day he was examined before Sir Richard Ford, at Whitehall, and committed to the House of Correction, Coldbath-fields. He served under Bonaparte during the late war.
MARK-LANE, Monday, Oct 3. We have great plenty of grain and seeds of all sorts fresh up to-day, both of the old and new crop; but Wheat maintains its value, though it sells heavily; Rye, Grey Pease, and Beans of both sorts are a trifle cheaper; and all other articles remain at the prices quoted in our last return.

LONDON GAZETTE OF OCTOBER 4.
Copy of a Letter from Lieutenant Leaver, commanding his Majesty's gun-brig the Jackall, to Rear-Admiral Montagu, in the Downs.
His Majesty's gun-brig, Jackall, off Ostend
Sept 29, 1803.
SIR,
I HAVE the honour to acquaint you, that this afternoon I gave chase to a vessel running along shore between Nieuport and Dunkirk, but it falling nearly calm I dispatched Mr. Simpson, Master, six Seamen, and four Marines to board her, which duty they performed in a very spirited manner under a heavy fire from three fieldpieces brought on the beach, and a small battery of two guns, within half pistol-shot, the enemy being aground when boarded. She proves to be an armed sloop of four two-pounders, belonging to Dunkirk; I believe taken up for the conveyance of troops. Her crew escaped on shore to the number of ten or twelve. A light breeze springing up, with the assistance of my sweeps, I was enabled to arrive time enough with the brig to cover the boat and prize coming off. Although the sloop kept a continual fire on the boat, I am happy to say there was not any person hurt. - She ran on shore betwixt the Calms and the Main. The masterly manner in which Mr. Purdy, Pilot, conducted the brig in that navigation, does him great credit. I have the honour to be, &c.
(Signed) C.P. LEAVER, Lieut. and Commander.

LONDON,
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 5.
A Cabinet Council was held this morning upon the additional measures necessary to be adopted previously to the setting in of winter. Several of the Volunteer Corps have been already ordered upon actual duty - similar orders will be issued to others ; and the regular troops on various parts of the coast , will be hutted during the winter. The frigates fitting out at the Trinity House, which are to be moored across the river in the lower Hope, will sail for their destination in a day or two. A bridge of boats, will be formed at Gravesend, so that an immediate communication may be opened between the eastern and southern districts.
The guard ships destined for the Humber have sailed for that river, to be moored across the mouth, like the block ships in the mouth of the Thames, but are to be full rigged, that in case of parting with their anchors, they may be able to bear away.
The Tower Hamlets Militia have had orders to be in readiness to march, at an hour's notice, for the coast, and are in daily expectation of being sent off. When this takes place, the 3d and 4th Regiments of the Loyal London Volunteers will be ordered on duty in the City, it having fallen to their lot by ballot.
In the course of the last fortnight there have been upwards of 70,000 stands of arms issued from the Tower.
The Prince of Wales, as Duke of Cornwall, has offered to Government to raise, at his own expence, a regiment of pike-men among the miners in Cornwall, to consist of ten companies; of 100 men each, and his offer has been accepted, upon condition he clothes them, to which his Royal Highness has already agreed. This corps will cost his Royal Highness about �10,000.
Mr. Sheridan is elected second Lieutenant-Colonel of the St James's Corps of Volunteers.
By accounts from Dover we learn, that all active operations on the coast of France are for the present suspended : but there is every reason to believe it to be the intention of Government that they shall be immediately resumed with added means, and, as we doubt not, with superior effect.
A Mail from Dublin arrived yesterday with papers of the 30th ult. By these we learn that Mr. Justice Downes is appointed to be Chief Justice of the King's Bench, in the place of Lord Kilwarden
The Mail has also brought an account of the conviction of another rebel. John Mackintosh.- Several persons charged with treasonable practices have been sent to Dublin from the county of Kildare.
By letters from Dublin of the 30th ult. we are informed that Mr. Anthony O'Reilly, a Gentleman of great respectability and fortune in the county of Westmeath, was shot by some ruffian on the preceding night, through a window as he was passing through a lobby to his bedchamber,- A servant belonging to the deceased was lately committed to prison on a charge of high treason, and it is supposed that the murderous ruffian was one of his associates.
The malignant fever which again rages at New York had, at the date of the last accounts, carried off a number of the inhabitants, and a proclamation had been issued by the Board of Health, ordering all the inhabitants residing in a certain part of the town to quit their habitations as speedily as possible. The number of deaths for a week, ending the 6th of August, was 77, but by accounts of so late a date as the 20th of that month, it appears, that the victims were, on average, upwards of forty-five per day.
A very valuable French East Indiaman arrived in Liverpool on Friday last, a prize to the ship Kitty, the sole property of Henry Clarke, Esq, of Belmont, in Cheshire. On board are two sons of the Governor of Pondicherry, who are nephews of Gen. Lauriston. There are dispatches on board for Bonaparte from the Mauritius, and also for the Batavian Government from the Cape of Good Hope.
A desperate action was fought on the 17th ult. between the True Blue privateer, of Bristol, and La Prissille French corvette . The two ships met at lat. 49. 11. long. 19 0 1/2. W: The privateer finding the enemy of superior force, endeavoured to get away; but seeing it was impossible, prepared for action: The action lasted an hour and a half, when the True Blue was compelled to strike, but not until the Captain, two Officers, and seven men were, wounded, and the main-mast had been sent over the side. The Captain of the Prissille was so impressed with the gallant resistance of the privateer's crew, that he made them a present of the vessel, after throwing overboard her guns and small arms.
The bomb which fell in the Leda frigate, off Boulogne, and burst in her hold, was prevented doing any mischief by the activity and presence of mind of a part of the crew, who started the water, thereby swamping the powder, which saved the ship from being blown up.
The Terror bomb has been so much shook by the bombardment of Granville, that she is deemed unfit for further service, and is ordered to be broke up at Sheerness.
Mr. Astley has obtained a licence for the Royalty Theatre. The Duke of York, in consideration of Mr. Astley's heavy loss by the late fire at Westminster-bridge, strongly recommend his case to the consideration of the Magistrates of the Tower Hamlets, and that recommendation, with the circumstances that occasioned it, weighed with the Magistrates to rescind their former resolution, and grant the licence.
On Sunday morning, about three o'clock, a fire broke out in the sugar-house belonging to Mr. Worsley, Dolphin-street, Bristol, which in a short time consumed property to the amount of �7000. - A great quantity of sugar was saved, and the loss will fall on the fire-offices, being covered by insurance.

LONDON,
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 7.
Yesterday the Lord Chancellor, with Lords Harrington and Cathcart, met in the House of Peers, in consequence of his Majesty's prorogation of Parliament of the 12th of August last. The Commons were represented by Mr. Dyson, Clerk Assistant of the House. The Lord Chancellor, then, by virtue of his Majesty's Commission, further prorogued Parliament to Thursday the 3d of November.
Parliament, it is now understood, will meet for the dispatch of business on the 17th of next month.
Yesterday Lord Keith sailed from the Downs, in the Monarch, of 71 guns, for the coast of France. His Lordship has probably gone to take a survey of the enemy's ports of Calais and Boulogne, to ascertain their state of preparation for invasion, and what force may be best calculated to annoy and retard them in their operations.- Notwithstanding the late unsuccessful attempts to destroy their gun-boats, there can be no doubt but that a British force, acting against their harbours, if judiciously chosen, may do them most essential damage.
A letter from on board the Immortalite frigate, off Boulogne, says "This place certainly wears the appearance of invasion much more than at any former period. There are between 80 and 90 gun-boats in the harbour, and two large camps on the hills at each side. The gun-boats which were at anchor without the Pier, immediately on our approach retired precipitately into the inner harbour."
Dispatches were yesterday received from Admiral Cornwallis, dated off Ushant, October 1, by which it appears, that the enemy have made no movement there. The crews were in very good health, and in high spirits. Admiral Sir C. Cotton, in the San Josef, of 112 guns, had joined the fleet.
The Constance frigate has taken, off the Mouth of the Elbe, two French privateers, with 8 guns and 36 men each, one of which, named the Carolina, arrived at Yarmouth on Friday last; the other was lost soon after her capture, on the Vogal Sand. They were quite new vessels, and fitted out at Hamburgh.
The Blonde frigate arrived yesterday in the Downs, with the fleet from the Streights.
All the privateers which are deemed fit to make part of the expedition against England have been put in requisition by the French Government. It is asserted that at the end of the present month there will be in the ports, from Ostend to Harve, 300 boats ready to board the English ships of the line.
The Commanders of all his Majesty's ships have received orders to sleep on board their respective ships; and no officer or seaman is on any pretence to be on shore, or absent from the ship, after sun-set.
Some of the most notorious Jacobins are amongst the Frenchmen sent away by his Majesty's proclamation, such as Jamonet, La Coree, Carrere, La Touche, Descombes. - Some of these men are gone home (their enemies cannot wish them worse); others, amongst whom is La Touche, have crossed the Atlantic.
Yesterday a Court of Common Council was held at Guildhall, at which, after thanks being ananimously voted to the Volunteers, it was resolved, "That two field pieces should be presented by the Court to the City Cavalry.
It is said that the St.James's, Bloomsbury, Prince of Wale's, Loyal Westminster, and Mary-le-bonne Associations, are to form one brigade; and on the Guards being marched to the coast, those corps will perform, alternately, the Park and Palace duty. The City regiments, brigaded in like manner, are to per-perm the Bank, Tower, and other duties in that quarter; and the Artillery Company, it is said, will be marched to Windsor. A review of the whole, by his Majesty, is expected to take place on the 20th instant in Hyde Park.
On Wednesday morning, at six o'clock, the third regiment of Loyal London Volunteers, commanded by Lieut. Col. Kensington, assembled at Bridewell, from whence they marched to Highbury Barn, to breakfast.- At this place the Light Infantry Company separated from the rest of the corps, and assumed the character of a French army, being (for the sake of distinction) in their drill dresses. They were pursued by the remainder of the regiment along the side of the New River and to the left of Hornsey-wood, at the back of which a very heavy fire was kept up by both parties, but a strong detachment having been sent out from the battalion in order to take the supposed enemy in the rear, they made a precipitate retreat, firing, sometimes on their bellies, and from hedges and, ditches, until they arrived at Hornsey church (converted into a castle), with the colours fastened to the weather cock on the tower. Here, however, they were so hard pressed, as to hang out a flag of truce, and surrender prisoners of war. The design of these manoeuvres is to familiarize our Volunteers with the modes of attack and defence, and thereby prevent confusion, should the enemy ever effect a landing.
Yesterday morning the St. James's Volunteers assembled at Burlington-house, to the number of 1000 men, under the command of Lord Amherst, and marched from thence to Paddington, where they went through a series of evolutions completely. descriptive of an attack by an enemy, the seizing the bridges on the canal, and other military positions, in the neighbourhood; their defence by a party of British, the blowing up of a bridge to prevent pursuit, and the final repulse of the enemy.- The whole or this sham fight was executed in a masterly style, greatly to the satisfaction of several military gentlemen.
The Marybone Volunteers had a grand field-day yesterday in Lord's cricket-ground.- The flank companies of the St. Margaret's and St. John's Volunteers practised ball-firing at a target in a field near Chalk-farm.
Yesterday the Westminster Volunteers had a field-day in Hyde Park.
Yesterday, was also a general field day for the several corps in the city, who all acquitted themselves with the utmost respectability, and evinced their daily progressive improvement.
Some of the Volunteer Corps have been desired to provide themselves with the following articles, previous to inspection by the Earl of Harrington :-1 knapsack, 1 haversack, 1 canteen of tin or pewter, to go into the knapsack, or to sling, 2 flannel shirts, 2 pair ditto drawers, 2 pair worsted socks or stockings, 1 foraging cap, 1 pair gaiters, 1 pair shoes, 1 knife, fork, and spoon.- Each Soldier will also be permitted to carry the following �things :-1 razor, soap and brush, 2 shoe-brushes and blacking-ball, 2 combs, 1 pipe-clay ball.
The Dublin Mail of Monday last arrived this morning. On that day John Macintosh, a Scotchman, who had been convicted on the preceding Saturday, was executed; and Thomas Keenan, another of the insurgents, was tried, and convicted; he was one of the wretches (it appeared by the evidence) who assisted in the murder of Lord Kilwarden, but which circumstances the criminal solemnly denied. -- It was however clearly proved, that he worked in the depot, in Mass-lane, with Macintosh, in making handles, and fitting them to the pikes; and when the verdict was given, he confessed that he had been engaged in the conspiracy.
Private letters from Ireland state, that Mr. Carr, a gentleman of fortune in the county of Westmeath, and Col. Nesbit, a gentleman of the first respectability in one of the Northern Counties, have been assassinated in their respective dwellings .
American Papers have been received to the 19th of August inclusive.
In consequence of the fever which rages at New York, all intercourse between that city and Philadelphia has been prohibited.
A letter from Quebec, dated Aug. 18, says, "We are much alarmed here at present by frequent attempts which have been made to set on fire various dwelling-houses and public buildings at Montreal, and in consequence of a similar attempt having been made on a house in this place, by throwing in at the kitchen window a bundle of lighted rags, paper, bark, &c. Patroles are to commence this evening, parading both the upper and lower town. We have had a very hot summer, and are just about finishing a delightful harvest; our crops are more abundant than we have had for many years."
CUSTOM-HOUSE SALE.-.A further attempt was made yesterday by the Commissioners of the Customs to deprive the Dealers in Sugar of the accustomed drait [?] which the trade has enjoyed from time immemorial. A very spirited resistance was made on the part of the Buyers, who all remained firm and united. After a few lots were sold under the market price, the receiver of the 4 1/2 per cent. duty-, Mr. Calcraft, with the advice of Mr. Gregson, his assistant, immediately adjourned the sale for the opinion of his Majesty's Commissioners of the Customs.
On Thursday morning, the 29th ult. about two o'clock, a fire broke out in a barn near the dwelling-house of Mr. Mingay, the barrister, at Ashfield-Lodge, in Suffolk, which consumed corn, hay, &.c. to the value of about �1200. of which �900. was insured.
About the same hour, a fire broke out in the manufactory of Messrs. Clutterbucks and Davies, clothiers, near Minchin-Hampton, in Gloucestershire, which consumed property to the amount of �8000. but fortunately it was insured for nearly the whole amount.
William Cannon, Robert Stuart, John Cope, John Davies, William Cheeseman, and James Pallett, all private soldiers in the Army of Reserve, have been tried and found guilty of desertion, and sentenced to receive 1000 lashes each; their sentence has been approved by the King, and General Orders have been issued at Chatham to carry it fully into execution, with a view to checking a crime that has been too prevalent for the last three months.
Yesterday morning a malefactor of the name of Thompson (who had been respited) was executed in the Old Bailey, for robbing and ill using a very Old Woman on the Hammersmith road.

LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 8.
Yesterday dispatches were received at the Admiralty from Admiral Lord Nelson, off Toulon. The enemy cannot be provoked to come out.
Intelligence has been received by Government from Baltimore, stating that Jerome Bonaparte has engaged a passage in the American ship President but that in reality he had purchased a Virginia pilot boat to convey him to France at the same time, and that he is now on his passage in the said pilot boat.
A letter just received from Gibraltar, dated Sept 1, says, "By our last accounts from Toulon, we find that four French frigates have been lucky enough to slip out of that place, at a moment when our fleet was forced off the coast by the violence of the weather, and have taken two of our transports going with water to the fleet, and also the Redbridge schooner.
"The French have now taken possession of all the ports on the Adriatic. The French General Sancerre was himself at Naples, to regulate the payment to be made by the King of Naples for the maintenance of the French army. The sum is 5000 crowns a day, which is obliged to be punctually paid every week, otherwise the French army would immediately march to Naples."
From Gibraltar letters of the 2d ult. we learn that the Spaniards shew great partiality to the French cruizers, and afford them every aid in capturing and condemning our vessels. There is constantly a swarm of French privateers lying under the protection of the guns of the Island of Tariffa, which lies in the middle of the Streights, and where, from the neutrality of Spain, our men of war dare not attack them, but from which they sally out and make prizes of every English vessel that attempts to pass without convoy, which they immediately carry into Tariffa, haul on shore, and unload, without any trial and condemnation.
Two English letters of marque, the Astrea and Mary, were lately captured by a French privateer of only four guns and forty men, in the Gut, and carried into Tariffa, where measures were taken for their condemnation. They were bound to Turkey, and their cargoes were valued at upwards of �100,000.
The American frigate Philadelphia arrived at Gibraltar from a cruize to the eastward, on the 1st of September, bringing in with her, as a prize, the Moorish corvette the Mishod, of 22 guns, and 100 men, which she captured near Alicant. It appeared, from the instructions found on board the Moor, that the Emperor of Morocco, a month before, had given orders for the capture of all American vessels, by his cruizers. This very corvette had taken the American brig the Celia, bound from Barcelona to Malaga, which she had then in company with her, and which the frigate also recaptured and brought in.
Elfi Bey, a principal Mamaluke Chief, is arrived in this country on board the Experiment, last from Gibraltar, accompanied by other Mamalukes of rank.- The object of his mission is to solicit the interference of Great Britain with the Porte, to obtain the full performance of the stipulations for restoring the authority of the Beys. Elfi Bey gave powerful assistance to the British arms in Egypt; and it may be of consequence in a political view, as well as an act of justice, to comply with the request of the Beys. Our Ministers must nevertheless be embarrassed by the application, as it will be very difficult to proceed at all in the business without exciting the jealousy of the Turks.
An officer just come from off Boulogne says, that there appeared to be about 10,000 troops collected in that neighbourhood, and that General Massena was actually there to embark with them.
Two thousand of the troops in the neighbourhood of Colchester are said to be under orders to embark upon some expedition, respecting the object of which, the utmost secrecy is very properly observed.
The Sluices on the Essex coast are now completely finished. They are intended to inundate that coast in case the French should land there.
The two channels leading into Spithead are equally to be guarded by a considerable naval force; and we understand two second rates are to be stationed in the Needle passage, and look-out vessels at the back of the Isle of Wight, which will form a cordon with the line of battle ships at St. Helen's. Thus every precaution will be taken to guard Portsmouth from any danger of attack.
The drought, which during the greater part of the season, has been very great in this country, has been still more excessive in France and other parts of the Continent.
Large investments from this country are now lying at Port Jackson, Botany Bay, for which prime cost cannot be obtained.
The Wolverene is hauled alongside the sheer-hulk to get her masts in, and will be immediately commissioned. -The singular construction of this ship renders her at the present crisis of great consequence, as she draws very little water, and carries heavy guns, which, from the manner in which she is fitted, can be brought to bear in any direction. We do not yet know who is appointed to command her.
Lieut. Kerr, of the Portland Yeomanry Infantry, county Cavan, met a fatal accident on Thursday se'nnight :- As he was exercising his corps, a shot discharged from the ranks entered his body, he instantly fell, and expired' about four hours after. On an investigation, it appeared, that the brother of the man who fired the shot had used the musquet the night before to shoot wild fowl, and had carelessly left it charged. The Coroner's inquest therefore returned a verdict of Accidental Death.
M'Intosh, who was executed on Monday for high treason, made several! important communications to Sheriff Pounden; one of which was, that a tier of secret closet-rooms ran through the house he had formerly occupied, in which great part of the preparation for insurrection were carried on. The Police Officers, on examining the house, found this relation to be true. The entrance to the rooms appeared like a brick wall; and when entered, they ran to the top of the house, and could contain forty men. Four hundred pikes, of a curious construction, gunpowder, sulphur, &c. were found In this secret place.
A letter from Cork, dated Oct. 1, says, "Yesterday Lieutenant-General Tarleton and suite left town for head-quarters. Just as the General was preparing for his departure, he was informed by Lieut. Colonel Lyons, that about 100 men of his regiment (the Queen's Germans) were expecting their discharge, their period of service having expired. The General immediately proceeded to the barracks, where the regiment was drawn out. He observed, "that this was of all others the moment when it must be most painful to the country to be deprived of the assistance of those who had served it with loyalty and zeal; that, however, their engagements must be fulfilled; and he was ready to send them, without expence to themselves, to any part of the British empire, and they should receive their pay till such time as they arrived at the place they might fix on; but, he owned he was anxious to retain such men as Lutz (whom he recognized among them), who had wrested from the boasted Invincibles of France their famous standard, and the other heroes whose achievements in Egypt had astonished and dismayed the vaunting Republicans; he indulged the hope that such men would be proud to continue under the standard of that King and country which upheld the civilized world; and he would give half a guinea from his own private purse, in addition to the bounty of Government, to each man who would re-enter, as it would be the summit of his ambition to lead such experienced warriors, by the paths of glory and renown, to scenes of honourable enterprize.- The men were highly pleased with this address; and finding that Government strictly fulfilled its original engagement, most of them readily re-entered. The General instantly gave to each man the half-guinea he had promised, excepting Lutz, who, he observed, could not be considered as an ordinary man, and to him he gave twelve guineas."
A General Court-Martial is sitting at Chatham, trying a number of deserters from the Army of Reserve; and it is said, that such of them as may be found guilty will be sentenced to be shot.
On Saturday night, about eleven o'clock, an affray took place at a public-house in Avon-street, Bath, among some recruits of the army of reserve; and the watchmen interfering, one of them was stabbed to the heart by a soldier, and immediately expired. The soldier was taken into custody, but the Coroner's Jury finding a verdict of Self-Defence, he was liberated. The unfortunate watchman's name was Brooks; he has left a widow and a family.

Others, for offences of less enormity, are to be imprisoned in the cells for different periods ; the bills of indictment against two were thrown out ; and several, not being prosecuted, were discharged.
To the Printer of the Salisbury and Winchester Journal,
SIR,
THE paragraph in your Journal of the 11th inst. respecting the Volunteer Corps was incorrect.- The inhabitants of the Close, so far from being "too late", were amongst the foremost to testify their promptitude upon the occasion, and made an early and an ample subscription for the equipment of the intended corps of that district; which fund is still in existence, and waits the event of future arrangements and future contingencies.
THE temporary suspension of the smaller and parochial corps, results from the conviction that Government are now under, of the impropriety of extending the requisition to places of this class, and of calling forth a greater number of individuals than it was possible to arm or equip. It would have been well had they adopted a plan offered to them at an early period, which was, in the first instance, " To compleat, by an ample bounty, the regulars --:to put the militia upon the fullest and most respectable footing - to raise and embody provincial volunteer corps from the principal populous and market-towns only - and to select in every parish and smaller district a certain number of effective men - these to be held in requisition and reserve - registered - and, by proper people detached from the neighbouring provincial corps, trained in some measure to the use of arms, and who, upon an emergency, should in an instant be ready to resort to, and to act withthe provincial corps nearest to them, where they should be furnished with the necessary accommodations, &c." This would have simplified the whole business, and obviated perplexity, embarrassment, and invidious distinction; every man would have had a standard to resort to; the whole nation would have been instantly in arms; and hence would with promptitude have been formed a powerful phalanx against an invading and an insulting foe. These are merely the outlines of the plan - other regulations were proposed to compleat the arrangement, which in this place it would be superfluous to recite. Suffice it to observe, that some such plan may, even yet, become necessary, and therefore such of the volunteer associations as have not yet been called to exertion, must not thence conclude that they are rejected or done with. The gentry and yeomanry will do well to avail themselves of every means within their reach of acquiring, in some degree, the use of arms; the peasantry may wield the pike, or such weapons as they are instantly possessed of, and in the habits of exercising; and with which, by the bye, they will do more execution, and spread more terror, than by the undisciplined use of the firelock. The whole, under these regulations, may hold themselves in readiness to fly to, augment, and assist such provincial corps as may be nearest their respective dwellings, at a moment when it may become necessary, and when the enemy, "like a thief in the night," may come upon them unawares.
This apprehension is not merely conjectural, but becomes every day more and more probable.
CINCINNATUS.

* We are sorry that, from the great pressure of other business, this letter hath been so long delayed.
To the Printer of the Salisbury and Winchester Journal,
SIR,
THE following translation, or rather parody, of the old Greek Bard TYRTAEUS seems not inapplicable to the present moment :-
LET not proud historic fame
Charter his ignoble name,
Who, when his country calls to arms,Press'd around with big alarms,
Dares not to her standard fly,
Save her rights or bravely die.
Name not in this awful hour
Fortune's bawbles - wealth and power;
He who bears a dauntless breast
Is richest, greatest, happiest, best.
'Tis valour now our land must save,
Then surely virtue's "to be brave."
The valiant youth o'er heaps of slain
Firmly treads th' ensanguin'd plain;
Foremost in each close affray,
Nobly falls or wins the day:
Know then Galia's vaunting hosts,
Sons like these Britannia boasts!
Not frantic bands, who, with infuriate rage,
War against order and religion wage.
Rous'd by the menace of insulting France,
Bold on her cliffs the patriot ranks advance:
And like those cliffs, which billows beat below,
Grow more terrific from each hostile blow !

ALLISON's superior Steel Elastic WIGS, being so exact a representation of nature, as not to be distinguished from an elegant head of hair, and for lightness and ease unequalled. A beautiful head of hair is allowed to be one of the greatest ornaments, but from inattention, illness, &c. frequently falls off, becomes grey, or extremely thin; in all those cases a handsome substitute, manufactured from the much-admired curly hair of healthy children, cannot fail to be desirable to Ladies and Gentlemen of taste and fashion. It is a serious observation, that persons with their hair are most liable to take cold in the head, particularly when under the necessity of sitting with the head uncovered, in places of public worship or private parties, those in particular will find Allison's superior Steel Elastic Wigs extremely comfortable, being made on a much-improved principle, and entirely divested of all the inconveniencies so justly complained of in all others.
J.A. tenders his best thanks to the numerous Ladies and Gentlemen who have given his Wigs the preference over all others, and assures them it shall ever be his study to merit their favours.
Hair cut in the most fashionable style. -Ladies and Gentlemen should be particularly careful not to have their hair cut by inexperienced persons, as nothing is more disguising to the features than hair improperly cut.
Ostrich feathers cleaned and curled, so as to have every appearance of new.- A choice collection of Foreign and English Perfumery.
Orders executed on the shortest notice.

Clay and Earnshaw having declined to accede to the original terms of their connection, the actions which have been commenced against the above named Clay and Earnshaw as manufacturers, and against William Clay, of London, as vender of the Cloths, for infringements upon their said patent rights, will be carried on with all possible dispatch.
Messrs. Bennets therefore think it right to announce, that the only connections which subsist for the manufacturing of their Patent Woollen Velvets are with the said Paul Wathen, of Woodchester, and Nathaniel Peach Wathen, of Kingstanley.

Bennets, at Manchester, will be stamped with the words "Bennets' Royal Patent," and that such as shall not appear so distinguished, will be a spurious manufacture, and an infringement on the rights of the patentee.
Messrs. Bennets caution all persons not to vend any goods resembling the Patent Woollen Velvets, without such distinguishing mark. They solicit information of any violation of their rights, and pledge themselves to reward the informers, and will prosecute the violators as the law directs. In order to counteract the intentions of persons who may be secretly invading the privileges of the patentee, and to prosecute a ready supply for the market, during the approaching season, Messrs. Bennets think it right to declare to the trade in general, that from and after the 1st day of September inst. they may be regularly served at their factory in Manchester, or at either of the establishments above announced.

Capital Water Tide-Mill and Wind-Mill for Sale.
TO be SOLD by AUCTION, on Wednesday the 12th day of October, 1803, between the hours of four and six in the afternoon, at the DOLPHIN INN, in Gosport, Hants, unless sooner disposed of by Private Contract, - All that capital WATER TIDE-MILL, with the convenient Dwelling-house, Stables, Cottage, extensive Yard, and spacious Premises thereto adjoining, situate on an arm of the sea, on the South side of the town of Gosport, Hants.
Also an excellent new built BRICK WIND-MILL, within about 300 yards of the Water-mill.
Each Mill drives two pair of Stones, and they will together work off from 14 to 16 loads of wheat per week.
The situation is peculiarly advantageous; the surrounding rich country produces abundance of the best grain, there are three well attended corn-markets within five miles, and the adjacent populous towns afford a ready consumption for the full produce of the Mills. Boats of any draught of water can come close to the premises, whereby land carriage is rendered so trifling that a cart with one horse does the work of both Mills.
The premises may be viewed, and farther particulars known by application to Messrs. Paul and March, the proprietors; Messrs. Hollis and Bayton, of Mr. Lewis Young, attornies at law, Gosport.

To Brewers and Dealers in Hops and Seeds.
WILLIAM STONE, from Kent, begs leave to inform Dealers and Consumers of the Articles, that he has taken those extensive premises No.291, Borough, where he intends carrying on the business of a HOP and SEED MERCHANT, and assures all such as may be pleased to make a trial of his mode of doing business, that they will find it much to their advantage, he having a thorough knowledge of the different plantations, as well as the different growers of hops, which enables him to make such selections as will be sure to give satisfaction, both as to quality and prices. All such as may be pleased to favour him with a call when in London will be supplied on the most liberal terms.
A small profit, not exceeding that of a commission for buying, is all that will be charged to such as pay in money, or good bills not exceeding two months date. All orders per post or otherwise, inclosing bills, will be executed on the same liberal terms as if the parties were present themselves; the state of the market regularly advised, and after the first transaction samples will be forwarded for approbation whenever required.
Hops are rather declining in price, owing to the largeness of the growth, and the quantity of old hops on hand:- The present duty will amount to about �170,000, old calculation - the best time for purchasers will certainly happen between this and Christmas. Present prices, for new hops in pockets, from scarcely any left on hand - old olds from �3 10s to �4 10s. either in bags or pockets; some very good of these to be had.- The crop of Clover, and all kind of Grass Seed, is very good, and declining in price, yet it may be right to make purchases before the demand comes on.

BRITISH FIRE OFFICE,
STRAND AND CORNHILL, LONDON.
ESTABLISHED to insure Houses, Buildings, Manufactories, Goods, Merchandize, Ships, Vessels, and Barges, FARMING STOCK, and other Property in Great Britain, from Loss or Damage by Fire.
This Office has, by its exertions and the ameliorations introduced into its regulations and modes of business, by its liberal management, and equitable and fair equalization of Premiums for the various degrees of risque, realised itself to the first in rank of Fire Insurance Offices, which is the best proof to the Public of the solid foundation of the BRITISH FIRE OFFICE, and justifies their decided preference.
The Proprietors act for themselves, unconnected with any similar establishment: they originally made their arrangements upon the best authorities and information, and their experience in their extensive concerns has manifested the truth of their principles.
Anxious to render themselves permanently useful, they do not endeavour to procure business but upon terms of reciprocal advantage to both insurer and insured; they avoid all fanciful and wild schemes - make experience their guide - and by calculating their Rates of Insurance with due regard to the hazard of Fire arising from the process in Manufactories, situation of Premises, nature of Goods, and other circumstances, endeavour to affix such fair ratio, that no person shall pay either more or less then he ought.
They are happy to state that experience and fact, and the very great number of Insurances granted by them on FARMING STOCK, particularly on their improved Plan, enables them reduce the Premium thereon to 2s. 6d. per Cent. per Annum.
This Office makes good Loss by Fire from Lightning.- Insurance upon any Property will be granted for any period short of a year.
Agents are appointed in most of the principal cities and towns in Great Britain, of whom Proposals may be had gratis.

What Kings, supported by Almighty Love,
And People, fired with Liberty, can do.
Then be this truth the star by which we steer,
Above ourselves, our Country should be dear."
THOMSON
This little Publication is strongly recommended for the perusal of the Yeomanry, particularly at this very interesting moment. From the simplicity of the manner of instructing, it will be found completely adequate to perfect the Yeoman in every part or military knowledge which the nature of such service requires, even though unassisted by the Regulars. The good of the Nation is the sole object of these instructions; the publisher only wishes to clear his expences, with the most trifling profit, the Compiler (who has served many years in the regular Cavalry, particularly the Light Dragoons) receiving no other advantage than the pleasure of endeavouring to render some little assistance to his Countrymen in Arms.
N.B. The above Treatise will serve either for the drilling of a single Troop, or for those of a County collectively as a Regiment.
