To add to the diftrefs of this dreadful scene, an unhappy woman with her infant in her arms, who stood upon the quarter deck of the Bellilarius, attempted to fave the life of her infant by throwing it on board the Royal Sovereign, at the inftant of the two fhips meeting, but unfortunately it fell between the two fhips fides, and was crushed to atoms before the eyes of its unhappy mother, who, in her distraction of mind, inftantly precipitated herself into the fea, and shared the grave of her child. The total number of perfons on board was 207, out of which were faved captain Barge, 16 of the ships company, 111 foldiers, 8 officers and 5 women. A letter from St. Kitts dated Jan. 29th, fays, on the 19th inft. about 300 troops having arrived at St. Vincent's, part of the armament of Admiral Christian, colonel Hunter determined to attack the enemy, which he did with great impe tuofity, and complete fuccefs.

James Connor, INTELLIGENCE. on an indictment for contpiring and combining to murder John Hanlon, a private in the Royal Irish regiment of artillery, in order to prevent him from giving evidence against a number of perfons charged with defenderism and high treason, and now confined in the jail of Naas. The first witness examined was Thomas Smith, a private in the artillery, who, in a very long detail of evidence, proved the facts. He was corroborated by the evidence of John Hanlon, the perfon against whom the confpiracy was formed, Alderman Alexander, Alderman Tweedy, who committed, and the watch conftable who affifted apprehending the prisoners. The trial lafted till fix in the evening, when the jury returned a verdict of Guilty, against the first mentioned ten perfons; but the other three remains in cuftody, as other bills of indictment are to be preferred against them, and alfo against the ten perfons now convicted, on a charge of defenderiẩm and high treafon, the offence of which they were convicted in the prefent cafe is not capital, being only a misde meanor. March 1.] Phelim Mulhern, a private of the Donegal militia, was tried on an indictment for the wilful murder of a poor man, the fervant of Mr. Doran, attorney, of Stephen's-green, by hooting him through the body, and afterwards fracturing his full with the but-end of his mufquet. The only provocation for this barbarous fanguinary act was, that the deceased, who was driving a horfe and car, belonging to his master, along the high road, refused to carry the culprit and his party, who, the prifoner faid, were tired. The jury, without hesitation, found the pri foner guilty. (He was executed the 13 of March.) 2.] James Weldon, late a private in the 7th dragoons, dragoons, was executed at the front of Newgate, As far as could be determined for high treafon. by the spectators in the different avenues, who were numerous beyond ex mple, the unhappy min met his fate with fortitude. Having proceeded to the edge of the board, he was, contrary to the mode ufual on fuch occafions, fhoved off by the hangman; no convulsive throes fucceeded the fall, his exemption from corporeal fufferance was therefore inftantaneous. After being fufpended nine or ten minutes, the body was drawn up to the board, in order to accomplish the remaining part of the fentence. In performing this, however, owing to the interruption of the platform, not only a difficulty but fome circumstances occurred highly diftreffing to the general feelings. The body being at length forced up, was placed by the executioner in a convenient situation for decapitation, but the operation was rendered extremely fhocking, very many ineffectual ftrokes of the axe and applications of the knife having been exerted 'ere the head was fevered from the body, which, when effected, was for fome time exhibited, as the head of a traitor, to the furrounding multitude; the remains of the culprit were then drawn into the prifon. (For his trial fee p. 76.) 3.] The ten perfons who were convicted of a confpiracy to murder John Hanlon, on Monday laft, were brought up to receive judgment. The right hon. lord Clonmell addreffed the prifoners to a confiderable length, in a fpeech fraught with ftrong and pathetic comments on the enormity of the crime of which they stood convicted on the clearest evidence, and the mildness and benignity of those laws which they had laboured to fubvert. The fentence of the court was, that the prifoners be fined sol. each, confined in Newgate three years, and after that to find fecurity of the peace for gool. each. 5.] Friday fe'nnight a wanton murder was committed in Townshend-ftreet. Two perfons having words, one of them with a fhoemaker's knife gave the other a mortal wound in the back. The perpetrator of this murder was foon after taken. On Saturday evening laft, as a poor higler, of the name of John Rogers, was conveying to town from the county of Louth fome fowl, he was met by a detachment of the Donegal militia, at the bridge of Jenningtown; he requested of them to make way for his horse to país, when, without any further provocation, one of the foldiers put him inftantly to death, by giving him several stabs of his bayonet. The villain was imn ediately apprehended, and lodged in the guardhouse in Drogheda, from whence he was permitted to escape by fome means or other. 7.] Laft Friday, Kennedy and Graham were tried at Trim, for the inhuman murder of Mrs. Fullam, (See Sept. Mag. p. 286.) and being convicted of the fame, on the cleareft evidence, réceived fentence to be executed on Monday. The principal evidence against them was, the depofition of an accomplice of the name of Travers, who at the instance of Alderman Tweedy, who went down for the purpose, difclofed the particu lars of this bloody tranfaction, making by this means fome atonement for his concern in the cruel deed. The wretched culprits, when the trial was over, confessed the justice of their fen tence. The Portland, Oaptain Bell, from Cork for London, was wrecked in the late ftormy weather, near Boulogne; she had a valuable cargo on board, confifting of 772 tierces of prime Irish beef, 400 barrels of beef and pork, 280 firkins of butter, and 400 bundles of flaves and iron hoops. 9] A general fast and humiliation for the fuccefs of his majefty's arms, and for restoring the bleffings of peace, purfuant to order of government, was observed throughout the kingdom.

Edward Byrne, Michael Gavigan, and William Hellop, were all convicted of crimes committed as defenders; they were not capitally indicted, though there came out upon the trial fufficient proof to convict them of high treafon. Three men of O'Connor's club, Anders Mi». gins, Thomas King, and William Fitz were arraigned for high treafon, and plesud Guilty. 12.] The affizes of Mullingar ended, when the following perfons were tried and capitally convicted.

Bryan Spollan, Peter Garaghan, Bryan Keena, Edward Keena, and Patrick Keena, found guilty, of a burglary in the house of Mrs. Roe, to be hanged fame day. Extract of a letter from Trim, March 13. At the affizes of this town, fifteen defenders and a cow-stealer were capitally convicted: the cow-stealer was recommended by the grand jury for mercy; and judge Downes paid most humane attention to the recommendation.-Two of the defenders were executed laft Monday, and acknowledged their guilt. 17.] Being the festival of our tutelary Saint, the Irish flag was hoifted on Bedford Tower, in Dublin Castle; in the afternoon there was a grand levee; in the evening the knights companions of the illuftrious order, decorated with their collar, were entertained at a state dinner in St. Patrick's Hall, and at night there was a ball and fupper. 19.] Hart was executed at the front of the new prifon, convicted of high treafon; Kennedy who was to have fuffered along with him, was refpited. Hart, through the whole of his awful fitua tion, from his arraignment to being launched inte eternity, exhibited a fortitude worthy a bette CAN caufe. On the morning of his trial, his life was At the affizes of Longford, which ended the 18th, eight men who were concerned in the murder of the late C. B. Harman, Efq. were capitally convicted, one of whom, Charles Gorman, (who fired the fhot which killed Mr. Harman) was brought from the court-house at nine o'clock on Thurday night, and executed at the front of the jail, where he remained hanging until Saturday, when the remaining seven were also executed. -20.] A charity fermon was preached at St. Peter's church, by the rev.

Goldfinder, it was proved, loft the race; but the defendant conceiving himself not bound to pay the fum he had betted, came to trial, and refted his defence upon intoxication, on his part, when he propofed and agreed to the wager.
