the crew, and put off to the Welsh shore, and in a few minutes afterwards the vessel sunk.

Her top-mast remained some feet above the water, to which the crew adhered until the boat returned. Our informant saved himself by swimming, and was actually two hours and a half in the water, when he was taken into the boat. He witnessed the heart-rending scene which took place on the sinking of the vessel. A Mr. Barron, his mother, and four sisters, elegant and accomplished women, who had their man-servant and a carriage on board, were among the passengers; the cries of the young ladies were most distressing. They all perished!—they sunk, entwined in each other's arms!

The gentleman from whom we have procured these hasty particulars, states, that before he was taken up by the boat, he saw one unfortunate individual (whom he supposes to have been Mr. Barron, mentioned above) near him in the water. He endeavoured to cheer him; he, however, had only strength left to answer, in a faint voice, "I can go no farther!" and sunk, to rise no more.

Our informant thinks there were about 15 cabin passengers, and about 40 in the steerage. In

the number (nine) known to be saved, the crew are included.

Since writing the above we have learnt, that the name of the officer saved (and whose lady is among the sufferers) is Lieut. Theballier, of the 35th. Among those who perished we have heard the names of Messrs. Gill, Cliff, and Snow. A colonel, whose regiment is now in the East Indies, was also drowned. Mr. R. Shortes, of this city, and Lieut. Theballier, are the only passengers saved.

The few who escaped landed about eight miles from Cardiff. They applied for admittance at a respectable house in the neighbourhood, but were refused! They then proceeded to a farm-house, where they procured a cart to convey them to Cardiff. They were in a most exhausted state. A cottager and his wife gave up their only bed to one or two who were unable to proceed to Cardiff.

Shortly before the sloop went down, a poor soldier took his wife and child to the bow of the vessel, where they sat down, and calmly awaited their fate. As the vessel went down they clung to each other, and in that state floated a moment on the water, and then sunk, clasped in each other's arms.

We have not been able to ascertain exactly where the melancholy accident happened. The rocks are called the Willeys, or the Wolvers, about three miles N. W. of the Holmes lighthouse.

Ukase, addressed to the Legislative Synod at Moscow, by Alexander, Emperor of Russia.

Moscow, Oct. 97. During my late travels through the

the provinces, I was obliged, to my no small regret, to listen to speeches pronounced by certain of the clergy in different parts, which contained unbecoming praises of me; praises which can only be ascribed unto God: and as I am convinced, in the depth of my heart, of the Christian truth, that every blessing floweth unto us through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ alone, and that every man, be he whom he may, without Christ is full only of evil; therefore, to ascribe unto me the glory of deeds in which the hand of God hath been so evidently manifested before the whole world, is to give unto men that glory which belongeth unto Almighty God alone. I account it my duty, therefore, to forbid all such unbecoming expressions of praise, and recommend to the holy synod to give instructions to all the diocesan bishops, that they themselves, and the clergy under them, may, on similar occasions, in future, refrain from all such expressions of praise, so disagreeable to my ears; and that they may render unto the Lord of hosts alone thanksgivings for the blessings bestowed upon us, and pray for the outpouring of his grace upon all of us; conforming themselves in this matter to the words of sacred writ, which require us to render to the King Eternal, Immortal, Invisible, the only wise God, honour and glory for ever and ever.

Chester to succeed the late vicar, (the Rev. Mr. Jones) and that he was totally unacquainted with the Welsh language, they unanimously resolved to enter a caveat against any person being inducted to the vicarage of Llanbeblig labouring under such disqualifica tions.

NOVEMBER.

1. Philadelphia. - We noticed the detention of the brig Ellen a few days ago, on suspicion of infringement of neutrality. On Thursday last, the British officers, 11 in number, who had taken passage in her, and who have subsequently avowed their intention of aiding the Patriot cause, were brought by writ of habeas corpus before the United States District Court; eminent counsel appeared in their behalf; and yesterday the court decided that they be fully committed for trial.

3. Her Majesty, accompanied by the Princess Elizabeth, arrived at Bath, where she took up her lodgings at a spacious house in Sydney-place, and was saluted with a general illumination. The purpose of her Majesty's visit is to make trial of the salutary waters of the place.

4. Stockholm. · Of the new towns now building, namely, Carl Johannstadt, in North Bothnia, on the heights of Tornea, which was ceded in 1809 to Russia; Oscarsstadt, in Wermeland, near the frontiers of Norway; and Borgholm, in the island of Oeland ; the latter will become the seat of a great general workhouse, and house of correction, in the old royal palace, which lies close to

it; for which purpose Capt. Adlersparre patriotically gives up his lease of the palace and lands belonging to it, which has still 16 years to run, and has been honoured by a letter of thanks from his Majesty, and the appointment to the first place of governor in it. 5. The Halifax papers, just received, state the melancholy fact, that the ship Lantaro, Captain Benjamin Mathews, bound from Greenock for Charleston, with a crew of 14 persons, including the captain, four cabin passengers, and 29 men, women, and children, in the steerage, foundered at sea on the 10th Sept. Of these, 27 perished. The others, including the captain, were picked up by the Jessie, bound from Dumfries to St. Andrew's, and carried into Halifax. Among the sufferers were 13 relatives of Mr. Black, clerk in a commercialhouse in Halifax.

On November 6, the hopes of this nation, which so long rested upon the happy union between the daughter of the Prince Regent, and the Prince Leopold of Coburg, were fatally blasted by Her Royal Highness's death at a short period after her delivery.

The Princess Charlotte, after a labour described rather as lingering than severe, was brought to bed, on the evening of November 5, of a still-born male child; and the first reports gave a favourable account of her situation. This was, however, a very short interval of hope; for the intelligence conveyed by the London Gazette Extraordinary on the 6th, related, that after the event of her delivery at nine o'clock on the night of the 5th, she was seized with great

difficulty of breathing, restlessness, and exhaustion, which alarming symptoms increased till halfpast two in the morning, when, to the great grief of her family, she expired.

The first token of sorrow was exhibited in the metropolis, where the Lord Mayor, having summoned a court of aldermen, it was unanimously agreed that the fitting-up of Guildhall for the approaching ceremony of Lord Mayor's day, should be suspended, and the preparations for the occasion should be discontinued. Public notice was also given for the abolition of of shows and rejocings on that day.

On the 7th, the Deputy Earl Marshal issued orders in the Prince Regent's name, directing a general mourning for the late Princess. Her Majesty, with the Princess Elizabeth, left Bath early on the 8th, on their return to Windsor.

The sufferings of Prince Leopold under his most severe loss are described as extremely affecting. A bulletin was for some time published by his physician, denoting his daily state of health.

His Royal Highness, the Prince Regent, was thrown, by the first intelligence, into a paroxysm, which rendered it necessary to bleed him twice, besides cupping. By these operations he obtained bodily relief, but the anguish of his mind can only be judged of by the parent of a sole and beloved child.

The progress of this disastrous information throughout the kingdom was attended with all the feelings of regret, commiseration, and disappointment. Every one
