ment of a running fight, they suc eeded, in some measure, in crippling the Monarch's sails and rigging before the Centaur could get up. At eleven we got within fair range of two, and opened our fire from the larboard guns, whilst the Monarch kept engaging the third ship, and about noon one of the two frigates struck, as did the one It was opposed to the Monarch shortly after. just before this I received a severe wound in my right arm, (since amputated, and doing well I hope), which obliged me to leave the deck; the Mars previous to this, had succeeded in capturing her chase, and with her prize, hauled towards the Centaur, in chace of, and firing at the French Commodore's ship, and at three assisted in capturing her. Those ships of the enemy made an obstinate resistance, but the result was, as may well be supposed, attended with much slaughter, being crowded with troops, out of Rochefort the evening before.-I cannot add too much praise to Capt. Lee, of the Monarch, for his gallant and officer-like conduct, but I am sorry to find his loss has been rather severe, the swell of the sea preventing, at times, the opening of the lower deck ports-To Capt. Lukin, of the Mars, I feel thankful, for his steady conduct and attention; and, I have also to express my satisfaction at the endeavours of Capts. Boyles, King, Sir John Gore, and Masefield, in getting up with the enemy, although they could not succeed. The Revenge, from being well to windward, became considerably a-stern after bearing up.-To Lieut. Case, First of the Centaur, I have to add my approbation of his judicious conduct, before and after my leaving the deck; and I also feel much pleased at the steady exertions of all my Officers, Seamen and Marines. I inclose herewith, a return of Killed and Wounded, and I also annex a List of the enemy's Ships captured, and will make a return of their loss as soon as possible. I have SAM. HOOD. the honour to be, &c.

Total-9 killed and 32 wounded. Officers killed and wounded. Centaur.-Captain Sir Samuel Hood, K. B wounded. Monarch—Mr. Bigden, Midshipman, killed; Lieutenant Anderson, Mr. Duffy, Boatswain, and Mr. Geary, Midshipman, wounded. (Signed) SAMUEL HOOD.

La Mi

Britannia hired cutter, weighed on the 12th instant, at six A. M. from the anchorage at Chansey, with the tide at ebb, and a light breeze at S. E.; on standing in to reconnoitre St. Maloes a sail was discovered off Cape Frehel; to which the squadron gave chace, employing their sweeps nearly the whole way; it was soon discovered by her manœuvres, that the chase was an enemy, who about noon succeeded in getting into Bouche D'Arkie, hauling close in with the rocks, and carrying out bow and quarter springs, and otherwise preparing for an obstinate defence, covered by a strong battery of guns on the hill, as well as field-pieces and musketry employed by the troops brought down for that purpose; in this state they waited to receive us; their determined appearance only increased the ardour of the brave Captain Burrowes (who, I am sorry to add, fel gloriously by a grape shot in the heat of the action). The Sheldrake, by superior sailing, had the good fortune to lead into action, followed by the Strenuous, the squadron being anchored within pistol-shot of the enemy, with springs on their cables; at two P. M. a most spirited fire commenIced on both sides, which was supported with great gallantry and obstinacy on the part of the enemy's ship, till four P. M. when it pleased God to give us the victory. I sent my First Lieutenant to take possession of her, and the British colours were immediately hoisted. She proves to be the Salamander, a French frigate-built ship, mounted with twenty six long 12 and 18 pounders, and manned, by their own account, with one hundred and fifty men, and was commanded by a Lieutenant de Vaisseau, who was killed in the action; she was bound from St. Maloes to Brest, with ship timber.

His Majesty's ship Constance having taken the ground, and the prize also a-ground, every exertion was used to get both ships off; but I am sorry to add, without success: the fire of the cannon and musketry from the shore becoming now se galling and tremendous, that the people could not shew themselves on deck: the Constance having cut both cables during the action, and the wharps which had been run out to heave her off shot away; at the moment of her floating she drifted with the wind on shore, further on the rocks, which obliged the Officers and crew to abanden her, without firing her, the decks being filled with wounded; observing, however, as the tide rose she began to float, I was induced, great as the risk was, to make another attempt to save her which also proved unsuccessful, those employed on the service being either killed or made prisʊners. Night now closing in on us, it became necessary to consult the safety of the Sheldrake and Strenuous (the latter with her foretop-mast shot away), at break of day I stood in to see if any thing further could be done, and was happy to observe the Constance was high and dry on the rocks under the battery, and lying keel up a perfect wreck; the prize which had not drifted so far in, I succeeded in totally destroying by fire at low water. I have saved about 100 of the Offi cers and crew of the Constance, of those missing, I hope most are made prisoners, though I fear some may have fallen in the second attempt to recover His Majesty's ship.

The lamented death of my respected friend,,

Captain Burrowes (who, had be lived, would have given their Lordships a more clear and detailed account than I am able to do of this affair, leaves me the duty of bearing testimony to the determined courage, coolness, and ardour displayed by every Officer and man in the squadron. I must particularly mention the assistance I received from my First Lieutenant Richard Kevern, a most meritorious and old Officer, whom I presume to recommend to their Lordships' favoura ble notice. I must also bear testimony to the zeal and bravery of Lieutenant Nugent, commanding the Strenuous gun-brig, who on this, as well as former occasions, has ever shewn himself a gallant and zealous Officer. Lieutenant William Lawrence, my Second Lieutenant, to whom I committed the service of destroying the prize, performed it very much to his own credit and my satisfaction. I am sorry to state that Mr. Henry Fraser, Master of the Sheldrake, who volunteered in the most gallant manner to accompany Mr. Richards, First Lieutenant (of the Constance, in the second attempt to save the ship, are amongst the missing.-I here with have the honour to inclose as correct a List of the Killed and Wounded as, from circumstances, I have been able to obtain; as also a List of Prisoners saved from the prize. I have the honour to be, &c. (Signed) JOHN THICKNESSE.

P. S. As Lieutenant Lawrence saw about thirty killed lying on the Salamander's decks I conceive the slaughter on board her must have been very great. Numbers of her crew escaped in boats, and by swimming to the shore, on her striking. (Signed) JOHN THICKNESSE.

P 3

Rev. John Parsons, D.D. Master of Ballic College; and the Rev. David Hughes, D D. Pri: cipal of Jesus College, were nominated Pro-ViceChancellors.

OBITUARY.

:

Oct. 2.-The Princess of Wales's carriage was overturned near Leatherhead, in Surrey, by which accident Miss Cholmondeley, one of the Maids of Honour to her Royal Highness, lost her life and on Saturday an inquest was held on the body at the Swan Inn, Leatherhead, before C. Jemmet, Esq. Coroner for Surrey. Mr. Jardine deposed, that about four o'clock in the afternoon of Thursday, as he was standing at his father's door, he heard a noise of horses and a carriage, driving very fast from the turnpike towards where he stood, but a corner house intercepted his sight. He soon after saw a landau and four coming up, and as it turned a very acute angle of the road, just leading into the town, the carriage was overturned by the declivity of the road, close to a great tree. He ran towards the carriage, and found the persons in it were the Princess of Wales, Lady Sheffield, and Miss Cholmondeley. Miss Cholmondeley was taken to the Swan Inn, as he believed alive at the time, but she expired in a few minutes afterwards. The landau was broken to pieces. The verdict was-Accidental Death.

Her Royal Highness received no further injury than a slight cut upon her nose, and a bruise upon one of her arms. Lady Sheffield most providentially escaped without the smallest personal injury. Miss C. is the daughter of a Clergyman, and cousin to Earl Cholmondeley. After the inquest, the body of this unfortunate lady was removed to town for interiment. Miss Cholmondely was in the 43d year of her age.-Several shocking accidents have happened where the above took place: among the number was the late Archbishop of Narbonne's carriage, which was overturned and broken to pieces. His Grace, in consequence of the accident, was confined many months. Also the Rev. Doctor Rogers's carriage, of Mickleham, which met a similar fate. To stages and carts there have been accidents without number. The tree ought certainly to be cut down.

October 4, died at his lodgings, on the Pavilion Parade, Brighton, the celebrated Doctor Horsley, Bishop of St. Asaph. His lordship was seized, a few days before, with a bowel complaint, which baffled all medical skill, and deprived the world of one of its brightest luminaries in religion and learning, as a Theologian, a Mathematician, and a profound Classic. He was many years Rector of St. Mary's, Newington, the first parish to which he was promoted, and which preferment he held long after his episcopal elevation. His lordship's first seat on the Reverend Bench, (for which he was, in a great degree, indebted to his noble friend the late Lord Thurlow), was in 1788, as Bishop of St. David's. In 1793, he was translated

to the See of Rochester, with which he held the Deanery of Westminster, and in 1802 elevated, on the demise of the Hon. Dr. Bagot, to the more lucrative Bishopric of St. Asaph. No man of the age, perhaps, possessed more of what is generally understood by the idea of recondite learning, or was more profoundly versed in Classical Chronology. He edited and illustrated some of the most important of Sir Isaac Newton's Works, and he was himself the author of several esteemed Mathematical and Theological productions. As a Senator, he was deservedly considered in the first class; there were few important discussions in the House of Lords, especially when the topics referred to the Hierarchial Establishments of the country, that stupendous event the French Revolution, or the African Slave-Trade, of which he was a systematic opponent-in which his lordship did not participate. The Reverend Prelate was many years a leading Member of the Royal Society; but withdrew from it, as has been said, in consequence of a certain high appointment taking place, of which he disapproved. His concluding words on retiring were" I quit that Temple where Philosophy once presided, and where Newton was her officiating Minister!"

FRANCE.

Madame Maria-Thérese Reboul, wife to Mr. Vien the Senator, died on the 26th of February last, in the 70th year of her age. She was received a Member of the Royal Academy in 1757. She excelled in painting butterflies, and birds. Her works are very scarce, as most of them are in the cabinet of the Emperor of Russia.

Botany has just lost one of those distin guished characters that cultivated its various branches with most zeal and success, in the person of Mr. Cels, member of the first class of the Institute, and of the commission ap pointed to prepare a rural code. He died 15th May, at Petit Mont-Rouge. His garden contains a very numerous collection of the in our climate. Some of them were the only scarcest plants, and the most difficult to rear specimens in France. Mr. Cels was buried ground of Mont-Rouge. A great number of in the evening of the 16th in the buryng his colleagues of the Institute attended the funeral. Subsequent to the ceremony the Rector pronounced an oration in praise of deposited in the grave, M. Cuvier, one of the his parishioner. After the coffin had been secretaries of the class of which Mr. Cels had been a member, delivered a very pathetic oration on the loss which the Institute had sustained. Mr. Silvester de Sacy, member of the Agricultural Society, read a discourse of league and the services which he had rendered some length on the personal merits of his colto agriculture.
