The Hero Captain Newman, having lately | arrived at -Portt-mowlh from tier station in the | ilaltic, brings with her the intelligence rif the ] following distressing ev«nt, which lately hftp- j yiened to a pnr't of Iter crew :—Two boats of i the above-menfio.d ship were ordered -to j cruize against the Danish privateers andrtrw-j bo lts, on the 13th of August.

Je(iks, and seven of his men, were saved, and nine drowned. In thi-s deplorable 'w'^Va boat too deeply laden in conse- quence of this increase, thev resolved, to at*, tempt to save their lives by running their boat on shore at itostock, in which they suc- ceeded, though nearly exhausted, and lauded 11 9 a fe fy. At that awft;l period, the night Coming on, and the fitorm increasing, they were (horrible' to relate, and scarcely will it be believed in civilized Europe J) againforced to sea by the Meeklenburgh soldiers, and abandoned to the fury of the elements, which •their fe<r»t being unable to contend with, was soon after struck by a wave, which (iiied her and she instantly went to the bottom, three only of her ci-evy beiii,, washed ash ore by cling- ing to scwue spars, and the two Officers and fifteen men were drowned .'—The surviving (HWç declare, every appeal was made to tlie Officers' humanity to let them stay till the gale abatexl, and tiiey offered to surrender themselves -prisoner*, of war; but ail to no purpose, for they actually drove them to their fate wtih the point of the i)ayonet Sticit an act of inhumanity, in a civilized country, to I)e credited.—Captain upon hearing this, instantly sent in a lfag of truce, >v!th a letter to the Duke of Meckleuburgh, to demand justice on the ti-c-ads ot itiose uil. feeling brutes, and to request that if the bo: dies were found they might be decently in- terred.—Mr. Wittenoom wasdust entering into .0 t!1 Iiis 21st year, and was on the eve of promo- lit)ii, for bravely capturing with an interior force, a few days before, a Danish privateer lier iii-ize.

In spite of the difficulties which arose, the waggons continu- ed their fpote, although it was remarkable that one of them smoaked it hardly arrived at the market place, opposite one of the inns, when it caught tire with so great an explosion, that it was heard at Erfurt, 12 leagues distant. In a moment the neighbouring houses were on fire, every person who was near them was shattered to pieces. The limbs of seven call- nouiers, who escorted the waggon, and of the horses, were scattered in the streets. Two young married people who were sitting in front of their house, were crushed to pieces by all enormous free stone, which tbeexplo sioii hurled upon theni. M.

Captain Schenk oc- copied the second floor of this house; he was it tiie lime in his room, with his wife, chil- dren, and a very iuleresting person, daughter. of Richell" Milaslerof Finance; when the Captain, perceived the conflagration, he pre cipiiated himselt into the street, and was <.iveti. his family and M,i3S Sophia Eichell fell avictuu to fueflames* In another house, Sel- ielt, an advocate, married about three weeks, was s^Uin^ at ttio-^kie of Jus young wife, 0:1 a coucTf near"" the windows which looked into the street; the explosion struck the wall and ?he.top oj the house, and by a iniraculou- phenomenon, the couch tell from the second iioor into the street, and the married co.i>ti< were quite free from danger, but all the other ■•terislied in the flames.

The num- ber of families who have lost their houses and their fortunes is very considerable. The great- er number is in mouaiing, or as to.mouru over ¡ some unfortunate one who is wounrit d. The indomptahle French cutter pnvateer,' of 16 long guns and 130 men,.arrived on YVed* nesday at IPiymouth.

Salmon, which was cap- lu.-ed after a very severe action by this sallc Capt. Balder, about three years since, in which Capt. SaJmun was killed. Capt.-R. also took.- the John Riill privateer, Capt. Treig^orth sometime since, and has reigued several years unnurfested. A remarkabfe instanc, proving the fame and respectability of the house of the late Messrs. B. and A. Goidsntidt, occurred about six years since, A biil of exchange f« rl000/. drawn by theni on a house at Paris, had passed through a great many hands on the Continent and wlieli it feil due, one of the who had accepted it was dead, and the other, after his decease, had removed io Atnerica, and no provision was made for honouring the hill. The holder of it, wanting the money, shewed it to the principals, a large mercantile house in France, and asked their advice on the sub- j ject who said, he need be under no inconve- I iiwnce or apprehension on account of its not being honoured-by the acceptors; that they" knew the drawers to be stit-ii honourable men, that they would themsel ves pay the bill, rattier then it should he disgraced, and they accord ingly paid i. -TI bill was afterwards sent by post tu Messrs.

Four journeymen printers named GddeR; Adams, tittle, and Bradley, were put to the Bar ot the Old Bailey, on Tuesday, on a charge of a conspiracy to induce the Journeymen of the Times office to raise their wages. iNi r. Allen, asCollnsel for the prosecution said, lie., had hen instructed in consequence bf the contrition of the- defendants to abandon the prosecution but the i ommon Serjeant who presided said, that he shuutd consent to no ill-timed and ill deserved indulgence Their crime, he added, was a crime which involved the best interests of a Commercial Country, it aimed at our trade, our commerce and our most vital concerns, and w;.s of a worse description than hiany kinds of feiouy. He should however consent to respite, the trial till the uexl sessions.
