We have a good iopply of Barley, but w hich,, with Malt, are heavy sale, and rather declining: White and Grey "Pease likewise look downward of the latter, we. have a verv full' supply.

The subscription to provide tour brass guns for the defence of this harbour and coast, boasts an ad- ditional number Of/contributors this week.-(Sce The measure is of such impor- tance to our security, that we hope a sufficient sum will be speedily raised to carry it into execution. A few days since the extensive veins of stone coal and culm, under the Brondiny estate, about five miles from LlaneHy.'we.re let to a respectable com- pany of"gentlemen, who -will be enabled to bring to market, by virtue of the Carmarthenshire rail road, an immense quantity of that valuable article, which otherwise would have remained of little or no use to the community. Tuesday morning, Mr. J—r- and Mr. M ■, both olNeath, met to decide a dispute which had arisen between them at a public inn, on the pre- ceding evening,. By the prudent interference of the seconds, however, the parties were reconciled, and quitted the ground friends. Wednesday morning, the body of Robert Dangor, servant to Mr. Arthur, of-Highway, was found on the seashore, near Black Pill, tie had left this town on the preceding evening, and being in a state ol inebriety, it iscoTijecturedTie laid down to sleep, and was drowned by the flowing in of the tide, As Mr. Jt Lucas, jun. of Stouthall, was returning home from hence/one evening this week, he disco- vered a man immersed in the water at Kilway Bridge; who, it appears, fen; in while attempting to drink, and was fourld with his head downwards; Had not Mr. L. fortunately observed him, and taken him out, he must. inevitably have perished; as he was to all appearance dead, and nearly three quar- ters of an hour elapsed before animation could be restored. The lamentable accident which happened to the servant ot Mr. 11. Hopkins, of-Sully, (related in our last) has oc<*asioned his death,—-Iiopes were at first entertained, that he would survive his wound, but they unfortunately, proved too sanguine. Colonel yV ard" Inspecting Jrielci Officer of part of the Severn district, was busily engaged last week, in inspecting tne several volunteer corps in Mon- mouthshire. On Sunday the Colonel inspected the Newport and Carleon infantry, forming "together a battalion of 600 men; on Tuesday the Chepstow -infantry and cavalry; on Wednesday, the Mon- mouth volunteers and Monmouthshire cavalry; and on Thursday, the ioyal Abergavenny infantry. The military appearance and discipline of all the corps, entitle them to the highest praise, and O.b- rained the Colonel's warmest approbation. The Forest volunteers, commanded by Major Lockwoad, will be inspected by Colonel Woarde, 0)1 Sunday next. Sunday last the Llanelly volunteers, under the command ol Capt. John-Rees, of Killymaenllewydd, appeared for the first time in full uniform, and went through their several manceuvres in a superior style from what miffht .have been expected, considering the lew drill days, allotted for-their practice: the unremitted attention of their officers, and theemu- laiion of the men,-will, it is presumed, whenever a review takes place, occasion a distinguished mark of approbation, to be passed on that corps, H iliust | be observed,,tU £ t company has tlie singular advan- tage of a volunteer band of seven perlbr'niers, which strengthens the.-spiritof aiilitafvdiscipline. The 1st battalion of loyal nreton;hire volunteers are iil expectation of being presented (very shortly; with a pair.of colours by the Lidies 01 Hrecon, as II mark of gratitude lor the zeal and alacrity with which they so handsomely stepped'forward ill their defence; and the liberties .of their nÚtîve land; Sunday morning last, the Ludlow and Bishop's Castle troops of yeonl-.mry cavalry, comnianded by Major Walcot, ,,(i oAr volunteer iijfan- try, comnianded by Major ijia-lway, were inspected o;i the (ild that. by Lieutenant Col. Chayter, Inspecting J-'ield Officer for the north- west district who was pleased to signlty his en tire approbation of the vevy forward state of discipline and soldier-like appearance of -tiie whole. A very brilliant and elegant standard is now fi- nished, and will be shortly presented to' the Roval Bristol light-horso,. by the lady of Phillip John Miles, Esq.. The volunteer corps of Scotland have got their routes to march immediately in case of invasion, or upon seeing, the signal for an enemy having landed. A circular fetter has been sent from the "War-- ofllceto. the Lord Lieutenants of the different coun- ties, informingthcin that volunteers, upon being placed on permanent pay and duty, or ordered out on actual service, are to be subject "to rriilitary discipline, and to all the provisions contained in any act of Parliament, for the punishment of mu- tiny and desertion.- Wednesday au inquest was taken on the body of the wife of John Weaver, shoemaker, of Lam- bridge-place, Walcot, Bath, It appeared that she went to bed intoxicated; and afterwards rose and endeavoured to reach another room for her snuff-box, but-fell down stairs, where she was found by her hushand the next morning quite dead, her skull having been fractured by the tall. On the -)&tli inst. a milk white woodcock was shot by the gamekeeper of A. Ludlow, Esq. in the woods adjacent to Hey wOod-IIouse, near Wes tbury; which is preserved as a great curiosity. Receipt Tax.—-Saturday last a per.son was con- victed at the New Bailey" Court-house, Manchester, and paid the penalty of ten pounds and costs, for refusing to pay the duty, when demanded by the cipt. person requiring the receipt. The season for killing partridges, according to the last act of Parliament, ended on the 1st of Fe- bruary. A few days since, two men at Wells, for a sum of money, undertook to .eat a cabbage of 12lb. 6oz. in weight well buttered, and each to drink two quarts of beer and a glass of brandy—which they perform- ed with ease. Xvlond, 'ielanigh 't Messrs. Racey and Co. invi- ted a party of friends to dine at their new brewery, Jacob's Weils, Clifton.—A table was spread in a large Wrought-iron boiler, and the company, twen- ty m number, partook of a comfortable' dinner, after which many patriotic sentiments were drank.

Strengthening of Ships.—A patent has been recently granted for the invention of a method to strengthen ships, Or -other iiie of this invention I", to preserve life and property, by mulune a ship much .strong- er than on the common construction so that should she, by stress of weather, be driven on shove, she will keep up- right, and be belter able to resist danger • which is effected by laying a kee! CH'pach side the middle line, distant from c it, including the thickness thereof, one-sixth of the average breadth at loading drait of witter, or a "little more or less, according to the"fullness or sharpness of the ship.—The patentee observes, that a ship thus secured from straining, is moreltkely IwttO work her plank loose, which often oc- casions foundering and if, by stress of weather, she is un- avoidably driven on shore, she has the advantage of ships all the common construction, as they, lying on their edge, easily roll by the agitat ion of the sea, and strike against The ground, and when left by the tide, are often bulged by the over-hanging weight but ships on this construction,'hav- ing one-third of tlueir breadth to stand on, will neither roll, nor be likely to bulge and if, from the declivity of the ground, anotlier ship should overset, this will hot,- having two thirds of the weight to counteract it: therefore, as the preservation of and property at sea is of great im- portance, the above invention is ccrtainly entitled to no- tice. The patentee retires only a sniall compensation per ton to allow any ghip-builder the benefit of it. FEMALE DRESSES FOPv FEBRUARY.

Of tte state of the interior of France, a '.Ariost'pompoUs and glaringly false .ticc.oimt is ^iven in this address and such is the trfrtiiig'prolixity' of" the enumeration, of Consular careSj that even the rebuiklijig of the broken arches .of a bridge at Tours IS made a circumstance of hhrh boost. As might-be expected j a very tluurishing account ap- pears of the financial prosperity ol' the Republic; and the scandalous breach of national faith com- mitted by the French Government, in dishonour- iug the bills drawn in St. Domingo to supply the pressingnccessitiesofthe army, is attempted to be justified by a defence at once weak and futile. With respect to the disposition of the people, a statement highly fettering to the Government is given at the same time that a clear admission of disaffection is made, by the mention of recent dis- coveries Qf arms committed to the earth, and the acknowledgment of the law of conscription having been resisted with violence by the inhabitants of the-westerri departments.-—Such- is the substance qf ,the\ address, worthy the head and heart from .which it has proceeded, but degrading to the na- tion that permits itself to be thus insulted. ,The -Maiuteur also contains a report, supposed to. he made by General Nogues, on his return to 0 Prance from this country, into which are intro- t'heiiiost malignant misrepresentations, ac- cpnipaniqd by-the foulest aspersions on the charac- terof the -British Government, and of the most iUustrious Members df the Royal Famity. To re- peat them, would only be to gratify the'envenomecl spleen by which they have been conceived and tlictate.d. The columns of the Mmiteur are moreovet dis- w "d graced: .with the most distorted representations o: the tyranny and oppression which, Great Britain exercises over Ireland; to particularise, would v only be to insult the understahdihg ol every Eng- lish reader. Accounts from Dover state, that our Boulogne squadron was driven from its station, by the heavy gatcs ofTriday night. Lord St. Vincent, we mention with regret, is se- ridusly indisposed. Parliament will meet, pursuant to their adjourn- ment/on Wednesday next. The remainder of the Session is not expected to be of loWg continuance, Government having made such an arrangement of the public business, as- will- enable the Members .of. both Houses to return very early in the Spring de-ftnce of their respective districts. A re- vision of the several volunteer acts of the last Session will, it is itticterstood, be ttle, first object of the Minister's attention. Saturday a. due] took place iaside the wall of Lard Erns'sdeuvesne, near Boyle, in Irelatul, between Mr. Hybert Burchall, of Camck-on-ShamiOn, and lieutenant Pitge, of the Lowth Militia.. Unloriumitely, at the tirst tire Mr. Burchaii's shot took effect, and-. Iiieufenawt-P,a^e ex- pired on the spot. This dispute originated at a bali at Car- ick-ou-Siiamton. TuESltAY, Jan. SI.

A letter from Leghof-ri, of the 25th ult. states, that on the preceding day that harboyr.- was, released from a state of blockade, and restored to its ancient neu- trality, in consequence, it is supposed, of an agree- ment between the French Government and the Spanish Court, to, which the Ehglish Ministry have given their assent—-a circumstance which has na- turally occastoned the most general joy through- cut the Tuscan territory, where English goods are liow expected to be re-admitted without any further interruption. All difference's between France and Portugal are stated- to have been adjusted on the 19th ult. In Holland, we learn that every art is employed to stimulate the troops, who are ready to sail for this country, to every act of desperation. Those officers who shall be taken prisoners, are to-forfeit their arrears, and to lose their commissions; while every preferment is.to be heaped on those who are successful, and who escape Wag made prisoners. A private letter from Hamburgh saysMassena will have the chief command of the expedition against England, in the room or Murat, and Victor. rhatof the fjft wing. Victor is tp invade Scotland, "j The centre, consisting of the corps uniier the comr murvd of Generals Ney,$o.udt, .and D'Avoust, with Genefajs Baraguay D'Hilliers, Andreossi, (-formerly Ambassador in,London,) and M EjittWas, is to.land, hi Eoglarid. lionapa-rte himself, at the request of his friends and the in France, renounces, it is said, going in person," A part of the army of Augereau has been sud- denly Ordered to La Vendee, to quell the. commo- tions there. This morning arrived German papers to the ,20th instant inclusiye. General-LtiSnes* it'appears, has been quarrelling anewiWith the* Portuguese Miitis- .qtl t, ters, but has been prevailed upon by new submis- sions to-remain. The communications between Constantinople and Alexandria haye been renewed,, and several merchant-ships "have entered the former port with cargoes of rjee, and;coffee from the latter. Some accounts from Constantinople,' mention the death,pf the Captain Pacha, and state, that a violent cold was- the Gause of that event; it is Sus- pected, however, that artificial means were em- ployed to accelerate it. Sunday, the 15th iiist. a convention was conclud- ed at Hamburgh, with, the Hanoverian Deputies, relating to the remaining loan of two: millions, which the States of Hanover are to receive from llamburgh. The States are to give obligations, bearing 4 per cent, interest; the revenues of the Electorate are to form the security, and the capital to be reimbursed in six years. The French still commit their depredations and tyranny in that de- voted country. They have made, it is said, another requisition of a thousand horses' to be sent to Prance. General Berthier is gone to. Paris, it is stated, for fresh instructions respecting his future conduct in the Electorate. In the mean time, Geo. Bonier ha.s ordered another tax of 3 per cent, on all. public salaries and landed estates, and 2 per cent, on private property.

By these it is ascertained, that the naval. force in the Texel, commanded by Admiral Be Winter, consists of four sail of the line, completely ready for'sen., with upwards of 50 transports. Suicide,—Yesterday morning, a little after nine o'clock. Mr. Godwin, silversmith and potket'-book maker* who lived many years next door to the Somerset tolice-hiHise', 'facing' the ncv^chucc1)> ill the Strand,' put an end' to his existence in the r>io.t shoekinG; inanner. lie was obsert'cd by ft slunc- mason, to climb over tlte iron turroinidiii.g The area ■facing the lottery-Oilice, jmt ]>v; the archway, and leap to the hoUom, a depth of thiil y-three feet, hy. which both his unciLG-boncs were dnveu out of their placer', and his hip bone driven out of the socket, and into his belly. He expired soon after-, WEDNESDAY, Feb. 1. Monday afternoon the Hydra and Tribune fri- gates cruizing off the French coast, descried a de- tachment of gun-boats stealing along shore, and at- tempting to effect a passage from La Hogue to Bou- logne. They-took four; three of which arrived at Portsmouth? yesterday. They are of the, first class, extremely well-built, and had each fifty sailors and spldiers.on board,- they mount three 32-pounders, are 80 feet long, and 18 wide; draw six feet of wa- ter forward, and four feet abaft; and are fitted in the compleatest manner, with every neceissary ar- ticle of storey. They will row Upwards of 40 sweeps. and are so constructed, that if run on shore they remain perfectly upright, arid thus present a most formidable battery. There are one hundred and fifty. more of the same class lying at La Hogue, waiting anopportunity to proceed to Boulogne. Important intelligence from the East Indies has been brought by the. Experiment, which, arrived at Cork'some days ago. The letters and papers from Bombay, are to the Hh of, September, inclusive. The War with the Mahrattas, the most warlike peo-. pie in India, occupies the attention of the Governor General, whose brother has been detached.against Scindea.—^One of the chief fortresses belonging to him has been taken by assault. The. particulars oi our loss are not mentioned but as the attack was continued for three days, it have been consi- derable. Capt. liumbertson and Lieutenant An- derson of the 78th were killed. This regiment, the 74th, ann a battalion of native Sepoys, particularly distinguished themselves in. storming the place. Scindea was closely pursued. It appears that the Bengal army under Gen. Lake, was also in motion to assist the'Bombay army.. An important placa/Baraoch, in the Guzzerat, has been taken by the Bombay troops. Captain Temple, of the 84th, was killed,: Further particu- lars had not transpired. It appears the war against the King of Candy has by no means been successful. Reinforcements will be required for the army in Ceylon. It is not known what has become of Lionois. He arrived in Madras Roads on the 12th July. We have since heard that he returned to the Mauritius. The Bombay Gazette, of the 3d August states, on the authority, of letters from Madras, that on the arrival of a cutter from .France, Lionois im- mediately left the Roads of Pondicherry and pro- ceeded to sea. The ship Caledonia, which left Balasore Roads on the 28th of May, bound to Bombay, took fire on her passage, and blew, up.—Out. of 157 souls on board. o»ly 71 were saved in the bouts. Letters from Holland meritton a circumstance which is probably well founded, viz. that Admiral De Winter has positively refused'to take the com- mand of the expedition against this country from the Dutch ports. His reason is, that he considers it utterly absurd wd ^»jpitacticabie. His refusal has given ttie greatest offence to the First Consul, because the opinion of an officer of such tried cou- rage and acknowliedged ability must have the ef- fect to discourage the whole of the forces, naval and military, destined for the enterprize. Tiile ievele intended to have been held this day is postponed, it being feared that His Majesty's standing several hours might cause a relapse oi the "rheumatism. The King, however, came to St. James's at two o'clock, and held a Privy Coun- cil, for the purpose of appointing the Sheriffs for the ensueing year; and we are happy to state, that His Majesty continues in perfect health.
