make them take them off; and the fea was in an instant covered with turbands, while the air was filled with piteous moans, calling to the English for affiftance; it was (as at Aboukir) a duty of some difficulty to afford it them, without being victims to their impatience, or overwhelmed with numbers; they, however, preferved and faved all, except thofe whom the French took prifoners, by wading into the water after them. The lofs in killed on our fide cannot be ascertained. The French general, in his offer to exchange prifoners on the general account, affures Sir Sidney he had eleven hundred. As to the enemy's lofs, there were no means of eftimating it. The capture of the Genereux, a French flip of 74 guns, and a large ftore-fhip under her convoy, as they were on the point of entering Malta, will very much contribute to the reduction of that island. It is confidently stated that they had on board 1500 troops, and were deeply laden with provifions and military ftores. They were captured by the cruifers of Lord Nelfon's fquadron. The whole of the French convoy had a reinforcement of 4000 men, and valuable fupplies of various kinds on board. It is with reluctance we are obliged to notice the mutiny which furrendered to the enemy the Danae of 20 guns, captain Lord Proby; as well as the following authentic particulars of the unfortunate lofs of his majesty's fhip Repulfe, of 64 guns, captain Alms. The Repulfe was one of the flips of the channel fleet, but had been detached by Sir Alan Gardner to cruize off the Penmarks for the purpose of intercepting provifion-veffels going to Breft. On Sunday the 9th of February there came on a fudden and violent gale of wind, and the rolling of the fhip occafioned an accident to captain Alms, who, while ftanding near the companion-ladder, was thrown down it, by which one of his ribs was broken, and he was difabled from doing any further duty on the fhip's deck. About twelve o'clock on the night of the 10th, the Repulfe struck on a funken rock, fuppofed to be main, 25 leagues fouth-eaft of Ushant. The ship continued ftriking on the rock near three-quarters of an hour before the could be brought to wear, and the water rushed in fo faft that the lowerdeck-tier was food flooded. By great exertions the ship was kept afloat long enough to be enabled to approach the coalt near Quimper ; and at half past ten o'clock captain Alms and the fhip's company quirted her, and made good a landing on one of the Gennans islands, about The pea two miles from the continent. fantry on the island gave every affiftance, and it is fuppofed the fhip's company have been fent prisoners to Quimper. We have the painful duty to ftate the lofs of his majesty's fhip Queen Charlotte, of 110 guns, captain Todd, which was burnt off Leghorn on the 17th of March, when the commander and nearly 800 cf the crew perished by the explosion. Viceadmiral Lord Keith, whofe flag was flying on board of her, was, at the time, with fome of the officers, providentially on fhore. Twenty commiffioned and warrant officers, two fervants, and 142 seamen, were the whole of the perfons who escaped deftruction. The particulars are detailed by Mr. John Braid, carpenter of the Queen Charlotte: as he was dreffing himself about fix o'clock, he heard throughout the fhip a general cry of "Fire." He then ftates the particulars until half paft ten o'clock, when, finding all efforts to extinguish the flames impoffible, he jumped from the jib-boom, and swam to an American boat approaching the fhip, by which he was picked up and put into a Tartan, then in the charge of lieutenant Stewart, who had come off to the affiftance of the ship On the morning of the accident, Lord Keith being, as above stated, on fhore at Leghorn, had the mortification of difcovering the Queen Charlotte on fire four or five leagues at sea. This fight rendered Lord Keith almost frantic ; he immedi ately gave orders for all the veffels and boats to put off, and every afsistance to be given; and in this fervice he was zealously feconded by the Auftrian General, and all ranks in Leghorn. They came to an anchor, as the wind blew ftrongly off the the land; but the flames were fo rapid that very little hopes could be entertained of faving her. Between eight and nine o'clock the mafts and rigging caught fire, and made a molt awful blaze; the crew, however, cut the mafts by the board; and, going over the fhip, they no longer threat ened mifchief; but the fire had taken strong hold of the body of the vessel, and continued to rage. The guns began to go off, and the people in the boats and other veffels, who had gone from Leghorn, were fo much alarmed for fear of the shot, that they would not approach the fhip. By a letter from Lord Keith, which came to the hands of minifters the 12th of April, we learn that the whole coaft of the cities of Marseilles, Toulon, Nice, and the Rureva de Ponente, are in a state of blockade. The Duke of Norfolk was on Tuesday the the ft April in the chair of the wig-club, at the Crown and Anchor Tavern. The memory of George Washington was among other toafts received with the most lively intereft. The Lord Mayor proposed the health of the Duke of Norfolk, which was drank with applaufe; and the noble duke in returning his thanks, faid, that he muft lament, in common with all the gentlemen prefent, the infatuation of the country, that could continue to long indifferent to the caufe of their own liberties, under the pre tended alarm of danger from any fet of principles that should be adopted in France. England, bleffed with its own conftitution, could never be endangered from foreign nations. The new expedition from our own coast is before-hand with that of France, and has actually failed; but to what quarter it is bound ftill continues a matter of conjecture; Malta is, however, fupposed to be its object. LIST OF DISEASES IN LONDON. Monthly Report of Difeafes admitted under the Care of the Phyficians of the Finsbury Difpenfary, St. John's Square, Clerkenwell.

Pulmonary complaints without fever Phthifis pulmonalis Dyfentery Diarrhea Chlorofis and Amenorrhea Leucorrhea Menorrhagia Afthenia Dyspepha Enterodynia 2 4 53. 12 3 4 In the above catalogue of difeafes the cafes of amerorrhoea bear more than their ufual proportion. Of thefe, fome evidentIly arofe from a mental affection; others 4 from exceffive corporeal fatigue; but the greater number from the partial application of cold, efpecially to the feet. In feveral inftances, riding on the box of a hackney-coach was prescribed, and in the only one in which the advice was faithfully obferved, it was attended with evi6 dent and speedy advantage. The motion of fuch a vehicle over the rough pavement of London affords no inconfiderable exer2 cife, without demanding any degree of I that voluntary exertion, of which, in many cafes of this difeafe, the patient seems to be altogether incapable. 29 7 10 6 I Peritonitis Constipatio Vertigo 2 Thofe pains in the lower part of the back, with which female patients between forty and fifty years of age, are fo fre3 quently afflicted, have, nearly without ex3 ception, been relieved by the emplaftrum 3 thuris compofitum. Whether this operates 1 altogether immediately on the body, or in part, through the imagination, it may I not be easy to ascertain; but a vast num. ber of experiments authorize us in confidering it, as, in fome way or other, almolt a specific in the disease: 2 I 2 A cafe of hooping-cough occurred in a man of feventy-one years of age. He 8 had never any cough before. He faid that his child had been afflicted with the 15 fame complaint, and that he had received 6 from from him the infection. The peculiar fymptoms of the difeafe were diftinctly and strongly marked. So favourable a hope, with regard to the event of the diforder, could not be entertained in this inftance, as in thofe where it occurs at the ufual period, especially as the patient was, independantly of his age, more than commonly enfeebled and emaciated. In fpite, however, of thefe circumftances, after the application of a blister to his breast, mucilaginous mixtures, medicines gently opening, and opiates at night, the cough in a fhort time completely difappeared, leaving only a degree of weakness, which might be expected from an advanced period of life, and the operation of so violent a diforder.. In one of the patients afflicted with infanity, it evidently arofe from the intemperate and long continued ufe of inebriating liquors. Moft of the difeafes, indeed, that prevail amongst the poor in London, originate from an excefs of ftimulus, connected with a defect of nourishment. This circumftance conftitutes one of the principal obftacles to the fuccefs of difpenfary practice. To a patient, whofe only change of diet is from tea to fpirits, what real avantage is to be expected from any pharmacentical preparations? The draughts of the apothecary's fhop, when opposed to thofe of the gin-fhop, cannot have any effectual or falutary operation. In addition to this circumftance, there is another difficulty with which a practitioner amongst the poor is obliged to contend, arifing from the little confidence that is to be placed in the attention of the perfons about the patient, and in the faithful adminiftration of the remedies which are prefcribed. This remark applies even to thofe that are bound together by nearest ties. In a cafe of peritoneal inflammation, leaches were ordered, and a trifling fum was given to the wife of the patient for the purchase of them, which, however, inftead of procuring with it a remedy. that he was informed was neceffary to the life of her husband, the expended in inebriating draughts. Accordingly, when the phyfician called the fucceeding morning, he found the man and woman both lying on the bed the one dead, and the other in the same last ftage of intoxication. There is no perfon, perhaps, who is apt to form fo low an estimate of the value of human existence as a medical man prac ticing amongft the poor,efpecially amongst the poor of a great city. But it is not impoffible that he may exaggerate the excess of their fufferings, by combining, as it is natural for him to do, their external state, with thofe feelings which he has acquired from very different circumstances and education. As the horrors of the grave affect only the living, fo the miseries of poverty exift principally, perhaps, in the imagination of the affluent. The labour of the poor man relieves him at least from the burden of fashionable ennui, and the conftant preffure of phyfical inconveniences, from the more elegant, but furely not lefs intolerable diftreffes of a refined and romantic fenfibility. Even thofe fuperior intellectual advan tages of education, to which the more opulent are almost exclusively admitted, may, in fome cafes, open only new ave nues to forrow. The mind, in proportion as it is expanded, exposes a larger furface to impression. J. R. W. W.
