his triumphs frequently graced our Regifter. His blood was inflamed by the painful labours of his glorious campaign; his foul, oppreffed with the contradictions which prevented him from crowning it by the total expulfion of the French from Italy; and his heart afflicted with the grief of finding his important fervices repaid by unaccountable caprice and ingratitude. He is faid to have been in difgrace with bis fovereign; and fuch is the character of Ruffian manners, that the difpleasure of the prince includes banishment from all fociety. The man, fo lately the theme of royal panegyric, was abfolutely abandoned in the ftruggles of ficknefs and death; and the laft moments of Suvaroff were deprived of the offices of friendship, and the confolation of public fympathy. Suvaroff, it cannot be denied, ferved his country with perfevering fuccefs, and implicit fidelity, and has contributed to confolidate the power, and to extend the fame of the Ruffian empire. Pofterity will render him that juftice, which his contemporaries refufed him; and we are not afraid to exprefs its language before-hand, by paying this homage to the great talents and virtues of a hero, whofe actions will maintain a diftinguished rank, in the hiftory of the eighteenth century. 25th. In Gower-ftreet, in his eighty-third year, Benjamin Kenton, efq. From an obfcure origin, and an education in a charity-school, he obtained, by frugality, induftry, and integrity, with an irreproachable character, a more than princely fortune. For fome years, he kept the Crown and Magpye tavern, in Whitechapel; and afterwards, becoming a wine-merchant in the Minories, VOL. XLII. went very largely into the trade of exporting porter. His property, in the different public funds, exceeds 300,000. and at the prefent market prices, is worth 272,000. his landed eftates 6801. a year.

The yeomanry, and volun teer corps of Hertfordfhire, were reviewed by his majefty, at Hatfield, the feat of the marquis of Salisbury. His majefty was attended by his whole family, minifters, &c. and moft fumptuously entertained by the marquis. The volunteers confifted of upwards of 1500, all of whom the marquis hofpitably dined. The following is the return of the provifions provided: 80 hams, and as many rounds of beef; 100 joints of veal; 100 legs of lanıb; 100 tongues; 100 meat pies; 25 edgebones of beef; 25 rumps of beef, roafted; 100 joints of mutton; 25 brifkets; 71 dishes of other roaft beef; 100 goofeberry pies; befides very fumptuous covers at the tables of the king, the cabinet minifters, &c. For the country people, there were killed, at the Salisbury arms, three bullocks, fixteen fheep, and twenty-five lambs. The expenfe is estimated at 30007. 22d. This day arrived, at Blackwall, Mr. Gower's newly-conftructed veffel, the Tranfit. She failed from the Motherbank, on Thursday evening, at fix o'clock, with the wind at weft, and arrived in the downs, at noon, on Friday. At one, on the fame day, the failed for the river, turning up within Margate fands, through the Narrows, and over the Flats, with a double reef top-fail, breeze at weft, and arrived, at Gravefend, at midnight, on Saturday. On Sunday morning, at eight o'clock, he again got under weigh, and turned up to Blackwall the fame tide, to the admiration of the beholders, who were aftonished at the fimplicity of her manoeuvres. It appears, by the teftimony of the Downs pilot, Mr. William Norris, that he would have reached Gravefend, on the, fecond tide, from the Downs, but for the darkness of the night. 26th. This morning, came on, in the court of king's bench, the trial of James Hadfield, for hightreafon. At nine, the four judges took their feats, and the prifoner was brought into court. The of ficer of the court called over the pannel of names; from which, after nineteen challenges on the part of the prifoner, and two on the part of the crown, had been made, the jury were fworn. Mr. Abbott then opened the proceedings on the part of the crown; after which, the attorney-general addreffed the jury. When, after a fhort fpeech, on the part of the prifoner, by Mr. Erfkine, the jury delivered their verdict, "not guilty, being under the influence of infanity, at the time the act was done;" and, on that ground, the court ordered him to be remanded. He was, therefore, conducted to a coach, and conveyed back to prifon. From the Philadelphia Gazettes of April laft, it appears, that Mr. Cooper, formerly of Manchester, has been arraigned and tried for fedition. The indictment confifted of the following paffages, published in hand-bills, figned by Mr. Cooper: Ift, That the prefident did not poffels fufficient capacity to fulfil the duties of his office. 2d, That he had created a permanent navy. 3d, That a ftanding army had been created under his immediate aufpices; and, 4th, that he had interfered in the judiciary of the United States, and caufed Jonathan Robbins to be delivered over for execution to an unrelenting military tribunal. Mr. Cooper read numerous paffages in his defence, and continued reading until exhaufted and un able to proceed. The jury, in a few minutes, returned their verdict, Guilty. The court then allowed Mr. Cooper three days to prepare any thing he could offer in extenuation. On the appointed day, he was fentenced to pay a fine of 400 dollars, to fuffer fix months imprisonment, and to enter into bonds for his good behaviour, for one year; himself in the fum of 1000 dollars, and two fureties in 500 dollars each. The following minute particulars, refpecting the capture of the William Tell, French man of war, are given in a letter, dated Syracufe, Foudroyant, April 2, 1800. "March 30, 1800, fir Edward Berry, commanding his majesty's fhip Foudroyant, of 80 guns, after having landed lord Nelfon ill in Sicily, came up with the Guillaume Tell, French fhip of 84 guns; and laying the Foudroyant alongfide fo clofe that her fpare anchor was but juft clear of the Guillaume Tell's mi zen chains, hailed her commander, admiral Dacres, and ordered him to ftrike; the French admiral an{wered by brandishing a fword over his head, and then discharged a mufquet at fir Edward Berry; this was followed by a broadfide, which nearly unrigged the Foudroyant, whole guns, however, being prepared with three round fhots in each, the poured a moft tremendous and effectual difcharge, crashing through and through the enemy, fhe then fired another fresh broadfide, whendown came the GuillaumeTell's main and mizen masts, at the fame time, the Foudroyant's foretop-maft, gib-boom, fprit-fail, maintop-failyard, ftay-fails, fore-fail, and mainfail all in tatters. It was difficult, in this fituation, to get the fhip to fall ofl, fo as to maintain her pofiÇ 2 tion, tion, the combatants therefore feparated for a few minutes, when fir Edward Berry called his men from the main deck, and cutting away part of the wreck, got the fhip once more under command, that is, obedient to her helm, and manageable, and again close alongside her determined opponent, who nailed his colours to the ftump of the maft, and displayed his flag on a pole over them. Sir Edward then commenced again a moft heavy and well-directed fire, his men having now got into a fyftem of firing every gun two or three times in a minute, regularly going through the exercife; mufquetry was occafionally ufed when the fhip was very near on board the Guillaume Tell; but latterly, the mizen-maft being almost in two, fir Edward called the marines from the poop and put them to the great guns, by which, many lives were certainly faved. At a few minutes past eight, the Guillaume Tell's fore-maft was shot away, and, becoming a mere log; fhe ftruck her colours. "The Foudroyant, in this engagement, expended 162 barrels of powder, 1200 thirty-two pound fot, 1240 twenty pound ditto, 100 eighteen pound ditto, and 200 twelve pound ditto. Although much damaged, the was, within a very fhort period, in readiness for fea." An epidemic difeafe lately prevailed at Bufforah and Korim, in confequence of the overflow of the Euphrates; and which, within the period of two months, proved fatal to upwards of 12,000 perfons. 16th. On this day, the anniversary of the duke of Bedford's fheepfhearing and fhew of cattle commenced, and attracted feveral hun dreds of agriculturifts and breeders; from all parts of the country; among whom, was a baron from Germany, who is at the head of an agricultural establishment in that country, and four gentlemen from Ireland. The call for post-horses, and other conveyances, on the London road, during Sunday and Monday morning, was fo great that many could not get there till the business had cominenced; and others were actually obliged to go by indirect roads, and then could not get conveyances across the country, and were obliged to walk a number of miles. His grace gave a public breakfast at the abbey, at 9 o'clock. 18th. A child of Mrs. Dandy, of Rotherhithe-wall, near Dock-head, being about to be put to bed, and crying vehemently, the fervant, Anne Vines, to quell its obstinancy, threatened to put it into the copper, unless it confented to go quietly to bed. Perfuafion and remonftrance being in vain, the servant suspended the infant (not three years of age), over the place of terror; when it flipped from her arms, and funk at once to the bottom of the boiling copper. It died immediately, in a moft fhocking ftate, the very kin coming off with the clothes, when taken out. The jury fat the next day, and, after a minute inveftigation, returned the following verdict: feloniously killing and flaying, by putting the child in the copper, but not with an intent to kill.-Anne Vines has fince been tried at the Surry affizes, and found guilty of manslaughter. 21ft. Liverpool. Mr. Peter Wainwright, a respectable merchant of this town, had long been in the habits of friendship with a Mr. Theophilus Smith, earthen-ware manufacturer, manufacturer, of Tunstall, near Burflem, Staffordshire, whofe affairs had lately become fomewhat deranged. Early this morning, Mr. Wainwright received an anonymous note, defiring his attendance upon a gentleman at a public-houfe, near the Circus, in this town, as foon as poffible. Mr. Wainwright fufpected the note to be Mr. Smith's hand-writing, although an attempt had been made to disguise it. Mr. Wainwright obeyed the fummons, and found Mr. Smith there, who fhewed him a printed statement of his affairs, and urged him to accompany him to the place of his refidence, to be prefent at a meeting of creditors, which was to take place on the following day. Mr. Wainwright, though inconvenient to himself, agreed to accompany him they accordingly fet out together, in a poft-chaife, on the afternoon of that day. During their journey, all was friendly, as ufual; and, at their arrival at a place called Golden Hill, being about a mile from Mr. Smith's houfe, he begged to difmifs the chaife, and they would walk acrofs the fields, as the carriage, driving to his houfe, might betray his prefence to the country, which he would wish to avoid, there being feveral writs out against him. It rained flightly, and Mr. Smith preffed Mr. Wainwright to make ufe of his great-coat, which Mr. Wainwright refufed. Mr. Smith led Mr. Wainwright out of the road, through a piece of mowing grafs, in which Mr. Smith's houfe ftands; when Mr. Wainwright obferved Mr. Smith draw a piftol from his pocket, with which fufpecting he intended to deftroy himself, he exclaimed, "in the name of God, Mr. Smith, what are you about?" wrefted the pistol from him, and threw it away. They now proceeded a little farther; when Mr. Smith drew a fecond piftol, prefented it at Mr. Wainwright, and fired at him without effect. Mr. Wainwright then clofed with him, and threw him down. Mr. Smith then called for mercy, faying, he would forgive him if he would not hurt him. Mr. Wainwright anfwered, “he wanted no forgivenefs, having done him no injury." Two piftols being now difpofed of; and, having fearched his pockets for more without finding any, Mr. Wainwright confidered himself fafe, and released Mr. Smith. They were about to proceed towards the houfe, when Mr. Wainwright reminded Mr. Smith of having left his great coat and a bundle on the ground; on which Mr. Smith took them up. When they had arrived within a fhort distance of the house, Mr. Smith drew a third piftol from the bundle, and fhot Mr. Wainwright through the body. A fcuffle now enfued, during which Mr. Smith drew a knife (which, it appears, he had purchased in Liverpool), and endeavoured to cut Mr. Wainwright's throat, which, being guarded by his cravat and a filk handkerchief, he failed of effecting, and gave him feveral fevere wounds on the left jaw: they continued ftruggling till they reached the houfe; when Mr. Wainwright by a fudden effort, got from Mr. Smith, knocked at the door, and called out, murder, demanding admittance; but Mr. Smith ordered the people in the house not to admit Mr. Wainwright, who then proceeded to a cottage about five or fix hundred C 3 yards |
