SEPTEMBER, 13th. 1779. Strong Gales and cloudy Weather with Rain, close reefed the main and fore top Sails, Convoy in company. 14th. strong Gales and heavy squalls of Wind, three Sail in company. 15th. Very heavey Gales and squaly Weather. at 3 P. M. brought too with the main and fore stay sail, as did the three sail in sight. The Ship made a great deal of Water; All hands employed at the Pumps, and could not get an Inch on the Ship; the Water over the Ground Tier in the hold, the Ship gaining on Us and laying much down, trial to wear, She would not wear, cut away the Mizin Mast, and wore Ship, at 9 P. M. all hands employed at the Pumps, and gained on her two feet Water, and got the Water off the Ground Tier, at ten, brought too, shipped a good deal of Water, all Pumps going, Ship still gaining on Us. At 12 got Hammocks in the fore shrouds, by which means we Wore Ship and brought her too on the Starboard tack; the Gale still encreasing blew away the fore and main Top masts, and carried away the fore Yard about 2 A. M. At 3 A. M. carried away the Main Mast, about 20 feet above the deck, cut away the Wreck, and threw the Quarter deck Guns overboard, and got a launch on the Ship, At 8, carried away the fore mast, and Bowsprit, cut away the Wreck, together with the small bower sheet and kedge Anchors, being foul of the Wreck, all hands being still at the Pumps, and a great deal of Water in the hold, she seemingly Water logged, on which We threw two of the main deck Guns overboard. At 11 A. M. three feet Water in the hold, at Noon, found the Ship give way very much, the standards breaking, and the decks opening, and great Quantity's of Water coming down, the Ship being full, the shot Lockers broke open in the hold, the shot fell into the Pump well, and choaked the Pumps, all hands employed in throwing the shot into the hold and Pumping. 16th. first part very strong Gales, and a very heavy sea, still shipping a good deal of Water, found the Rudder sprung in the head, at 3 P. M. got a Launch on the Ship, our Ships company greatly fatigued, at 6 P. M. the Gale began to moderate, kept the Ship clear with the Chain Pumps, at midnight moderate Weather, at 6 o'Clock A. M. got up a Jury fore mast and got the ship before the Wind, none of the Convoy in sight. 17th. Moderate and cloudy Weather, employed in Rigging the Jury Mast, the sea much fallen. 18th. Light breeze, and fair Weather, Rigged a Jury Mast and top gallant Mast upon it, Rigged the main top Mast, for a Jury fore Mast, and a top gallant Mast upon it. 19th. Light Airs and cloudy, bent the top sails for courses and the top Gallant sails for top-sails. 20th. from the 20th to 24th nothing remarkable. 24th. At 4, A. M. spoke a Cartel from New Providence to Charlestown with 65 Prisoners on board, Hinton head bearing W. N. W. The Cartel informed us of having seen 20 sail under Hinton Head and seemingly large ships, We wore ship and stood to the southward Quarter past four Wind N. W. saw three large ships in the S. W. Quarter; wore and made all the sail we could from them steering N. E. at five found them in chace of us and saw two sail to the Westward bearing down upon us turned all hands to Quarters at 8 they hoisted french Colours and the Sagittaire coming very close upon us she brought too and gave us two broadsides. We then drove from her, but few of her shot reached us, got up a larger fore yard and sail, and made all the sail we could from them, the sagittaire wore and made sail after us again half past eight got within half Gun shot of us; we hoisted our colours and came to action with her, during which time all the other ships came up nigh to us, We continued the action 75 Minutes, the sagittaire bore down upon us under Our stern, and two of the other Ships being within gun shot of us we struck our colours, having neither Masts or sail to command our ship; the ships coming up were two 74rs. and two frigates, the sagittaire 54 Guns. Sir James Wallace is now in France. Continued from our Last. THE Indians skirmishing along the paths. We had taken two look-outs, from which some of the soldiers escaped and carried intelligence that an enemy was advancing, and, as they had seen our squadron the night before, and the Musquito crafts. imagined that Indians (only) landed from them, were the enemy on shore, not thinking that Europeans would undertake such a march; and in order to favour this deception, the Indians were advanced in front and dislodged them from their look-outs, which prevented them from occupying the defiles and passes, until we arrived near the town, where they had placed an ambuscade. The Indians who are extreamly sharp as scouts, perceived them; they represented that the Spaniards were drawn up in force. A disposition of attack was immediately framed for the loyal Irish and marines to force the pass in front in column, and to advance rapidly with the grenadiers march, supported by the second line drawn up, and the Pomona's musquetry men of the first line, were detatched to gain a hill on the left, covered with wood, which commanded the pass; these orders being instantly executed, the defile was forced. We received a scattering, ill directed fire from 50 or 60 Spaniards, which killed one soldier only of the loyal Irish, and wounded a marine; and so great was the panic, that they fled on all quarters to the fort, woods, and town, evacuating the governor's house, built with battlements, and terrassed on the top, a post, which if defended by 20 British regulars, would have stopped our whole force. The gaining this hill, and that which the Pomona's men had ascended, gave us an entire view of the fort Commanding it and the town in the bottom, the fort distant half a mile and the town close under the hill The skirmishing continued from the town, and galled us a little; being unwilling to set fire to it, I desisted upwards of an hour; but finding that I could not permit an enemy on my flank, the town forming a crescent under the hill. orders were given for its being consumed, which were carryed into execution, the inhabitants flying to the fort and the woods: the property consumed in the town was estimated at 100,000 piastres. The squadron came into the bay while the town was in flames; and supposing it a proper time to batter the fort, went in a-breast of it. A diversion was made by the land forces in their favour from the hill. The scaling ladders were carried by the Honduras fuziliers, but their eagerness

in skirmishing made them drop the ladders, and hasten to get up to the head of the column; which pre- vented the land forces from co-operating with the squadron (by storming) so heartily that day as could have been wished. The Lowestoffe having got a-ground, and the other ships, as I imagined, observing the signal was displayed that the land forces could not co-operate, desisted firing. The Lowestoffe was much damaged but got off. The day following we passed in skir- mishing, in securing the roads round the fort, and driving in cattle for the land forces. On the 19th the squadron landed some guns to the westward; 2 four pounders were got up that night, and a battery was immediately opened on them. This battery incommoded them much, but never could have made any impression on the walls of the parapet, as they were 18 feet thick. The Spaniards pointed that evening three more guns towards the land side, and in the morning dismounted one of ours. Observing there were some houses near the fort, which the spaniards had neglected to burn, parties of marines, bay-men, and Indians occupied them, and kept up so incessant a fire on the embrazures of the fort, that the span- iards fire from the Guns, were often silenced for hours, and we observed them throwing over the dead This day six more guns were got up by the seamen and bay men, one of which Gen. Dal- ling had sent for the bay men, 3 others being unfortunately swamped coming on shore: Capt. Carden opened a bat- tery of 4 six-pounders from the hill which the Pomona's men had gained in the first skirmish at the defile, which also commanded the fort. Foreseeing, that by a siege of this nature, before approaches could be made in a regular way, and a breach effected, a vast train of artillery would be required, and a length of time, af- ter which we would be obliged to storm, having also the enemy in our rear all round; and having maturely weighed all these circumstances, and the disadvantage inevitably attending a siege, it was therefore determined to escalade the fort, as the ditch was found to be dry. To be continued. Continued from our Last. THIS would indeed be an unjustifia- ble measure if we were contriving how to burthen the people with more tax- es, but we are contriving to supply the wants and necessities of the State, not by additional impositions on the people, but by frugal application of what we already possess. But say they, "this is a reform originating from men who never attemp- ted it themselves when they possessed the power; Whigs as well as Tories have been equally guilty." In this charge there is some foundation, but no argu- ment. True the calamity has advanced to this moment unredressed, but till this moment it was never so loudly felt, nor so clearly understood. The calami- ty was never so enormous it was never before carried to such a height. When success crowns every effort of a state, and when conquest makes the People glori- ous and happy, they are not apt to en- quire into the expenditure of the public money; they give with pleasure be- cause what they give though it may not be spent with œconomy, yet procures them new territory and renown. But when defeat, shame, and dismay pursues them in every quarter; when their efforts grow weak and languid, in proportion as their expences increase, they are led by curiosity, as well as con- cern to enquire into the expenditure of the public Money. It is however indecent in them to charge the character of the ever memorable Earl of Chatham with the only blemish that can be dis- covered in his character, without at the same time associating with his extrava- gance, his Wisdom, his exertions, and above all, his success. But this is the manner in which the present administration and their friends defend themselves. In former times, when a minister was attacked, his friends used to defend him by enumerating the merits he possessed, but now the friends (or rather the adherents, for friends they have none) of the present ministry, abandon that Ground: they attempt not to say that they are wise, capable, virtuous, zealous or vigiliant, they give them up to the accusations of the people, but still they exclaim, their enemies are as bad. On this they rest all their defence, and thus they endea- vour to blacken human nature, to throw calumny on Mankind in general, and in the consciousness of their own deformity, to reduce all others to their own standard. Having said so much, the honourable Gentleman observed, he would but add a few words on the necessity of national exertion at this moment. The people knew well the origin of monarchy. It was the price which gratitude indu- ced nations to pay to Men of extraor- dinary heroism and virtue, for securing them from slavery, from extending, or for planting and establishing their fame, or for either eminent actions of a familiar nature. This was the string from which kingly authority in general was derived; and what gratitude at first produced, prescription, habit, hap- piness in some instances, and weakness in others continued and maintained. Nations were excused who conferred royalty on the man who gave them empire: but what would that people suffer in the annals of virtue, who per- mitted themselves to be enslaved in a reign not immortalized by enterprise and glory? They would have nothing to plead in their excuse but tameness, servility and corruption. If the value of liberty was unknown; if its nature was neither defined nor understood, they would have ignorance to plead in their favour, and they would be pitied, nor contemned. but having every ad- vantage of information and science li- berality, and the sense of its worth; nay, having the example before their eyes of what manly resistance would produce, they would be universally detested, and infamy would be added to ruin. Nothing but the determined resolu- tion of the people, the temperate and firm decisions of Englishmen, united in one plan, and pressing to one point, could save them. Thus united, thus exerting themselves, no Prince how- ever obstinate, no Parliament however venal, could oppose or resist them. If they called to mind the treatment they had received, the manner in which they had been loaded with taxes, while in the midst of public calamity and public want, the revenue of the Sove- reign was increased with 100,000l. a year, and he was the only person whose estate was not to suffer from the blun- ders and the incapacity of his ministers. If they called to mind this, they would know that from such a Ministry no- thing was to be expected but misery and ruin. The people must be the Ministers of their own deliverance, and the road to it was open. They saw from the effect of manly resolution. Their brethren in America, and their brethren in Ireland, had taught them how to act when bad men forced them to feel. Are we not born from the same original? Are we not possessed of equal veneration for our lives and liber- ties? Does not the blood flow as freely in our veins? Have we not like them received Educations that inspire us with a contempt of life, when freedom is in danger. Have not our Fathers, as well as theirs, fought and bled for their rights, and transmitted them to us in sacred confidence? And shall not we then be equally ready in the mo- ment of alarm to maintain that freedom in which we were born? Shall the heart of the empire be tame and lifeless when the limbs are in activity and mo- tion? NO. He did not fear it. He did not fear that corruption had exten- ded its enervations so far as to weaken the sinews, or destroy the sensibility of the body of the people. Let them not, says he, be deterred by the word ASSOCIATION. There is nothing unconstitutional in the term. Let them recollect the nature of the association that took place on the pro- secution of his friend on his right hand (Mr. Wilkes) and the event, and as- sure themselves, that with associations they had it always in their power to maintain the independence in which they were born, and to compel the bo- dy whom they had intrusted with their rights, to do them Justice; but with- out association they must fall a sacri- fice to that corruption which had given the Crown an influence unknown to any former period in our history. Per- mit this influence to encrease, and the country will be enslaved; destroy it, and the English constitution could ne- ver be overthrown. This speech was recived by the nu- merous assembly with repeated shouts of acclamation and applause. It was some time before the necessary silence was recovered, owing to the deep felt and vehement expressions of the audience, quickened and impelled by the powerful eloquence of the Gentle- man who had just addressed them. When silence was recovered A N E C D O T E. THE last War, Lord Howe was suddenly wakened from his Sleep by an Officer, who, in fright told him the Ship was on Fire close to the Powder-Room: His Lordship cooly replied, "If so, Sir, we shall very soon know it." Some Minutes afterwards, the Lieutenant returned, and told his Lordship he had no occa- sion to be afraid, for the Fire was extinguished. "Afraid! (replied his

hastily) what do you mean by Sir?" I never was afraid in my Life! A few Days since died, Mr. Edward Pardon, formerly of Trinity-College, Dublin; he was well known from a Variety of Translations, Compilations, &c. The following Extempore was written on his Death by a Correspondent: Here lies poor Ned Pardon, from Misery freed, Who long was a Bookseller's Hack. He led such a damnable Life in this World, I don't think he'll ever come back. When Major Morrison, the Mogul's Ambassador arrived in England, the Officers of the Custom-House insisted upon searching his Baggage but the Major strongly remonstrated upon the impropriety of the Measure, insisting that as Plenipotentiary from a sovereign Prince; his Baggage ought to be exempt from all inspection. The better to preserve the Contents sacred from the knowing Eyes of these Officers, the Major instead of his Majesty's Broad A. clapped the Great Mogul's Broad Seal upon the Cargo of his Luggage, and the Major has at least this Advantage, that no Person besides himself, can decypher the Meaning of the Inscription. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– CALCUTTA. LOST near the Barrowbullah head a Large Dutch Ship from Europe, name unknown, seven of the Crew perished. It has been reported but not yet confirmed that one of his Majesty's Frigates from Madras was arrived at Ingalie. We are informed that in consequence of a most malevolent report being propagated by some ill disposed person, or persons now in the settlement reflecting on and staining the Credit of a very reputable Merchant, and that Actions in consequence were actually commenced Yesterday against the Author, or Authors, and no doubt but very heavy damages will be recovered, which we would hope, will in future prove a seasonable hint to a Certain body of Gentlemen in this City how they indulge so Malignant and detestable a humour. The Banyan of a Merchant in Calcutta is fled to Serampore, having embezzled 25000 Rupees of his Master's Money it is to be hoped that the Governor of Serampore will deliver him up, as the protecting of such a villain would disgrace the colours of any Christian Nation in the world. A similar case to the above happened in England about fourteen Years ago, one Rice a Broker, on change fled to France. with the greatest part of a Lady's fortune with which she had entrusted him, but on application being made to the King of France and the nature of the case laid before him, he gave orders that Rice, should be delivered up, which was accordingly done, and he was executed at Tyburn. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– ARRIVALS.

POET'S CORNER A PICTURE of SLANDER, WHAT mortal but Slander, that serpent, hath stung, Whose teeth are sharp arrows, a razor her tongue? The rank poison of asps her livid lip loads, The rattle of snakes, with the spittle of toads; Her throat is an open sepulchre, her legs Set hatching of vipers and cockatrice eggs; Her sting is a scorpion's, like a hyena she'll cry, With the ear of an adder, a basilisk's eye; The mouth of a monkey, the hug of a bear, The head of a parrot, the chat of a hare; The wings of a magpye, the snout of a hog, The feet of a mole, and the tail of a dog; Her claw is a Tiger's, her forehead is brass, With the hiss of a Goose, and the bray of an Ass.
