from the bridge of Glatt; which was executed, notwithstanding a moft obfti nate refiftance. At the fame time Field Marhal Lieut. Prince Jofeph of Lorraine advanced from Villiken, and General Jellachich from Zullikon, with fuch vigour against the flank of the entrenchments, that General Jellachich penetrated into the upper fuburbs of Zurich, and the Prince of Lorraine as far as the abbatis upon the Zurich Berg, which was defended by redoubts and flêches. It being of the utmoft importance to the enemy to keep us as far diftant as poffible from their entrenched camp, they fent fuch powerful reinforcements to their troops posted on the Glatt, and brought fuch a number of batteries to bear upon us, that they not only checked the progrefs of the divifion under Field Marthal Lieut. Hotze before Schwammendingen, but also repulfed the troops which had advanced to the abbatis, and even threatened the right flank of Prince Rofemberg's corps near Seebach. This induced his Royal Highness to rein. force the advanced guard near Seebach with a brigade of Infantry under Prince Reufs and part of Prince Anhalt Cöthen's divifion of Cavalry. At the fame time Field Marthal Lieut. Count Walls was ordered to march with two bat talions of Grenadiers and the Archduke Ferdinand's regiment of Infantry, by Schwammendingen to the Zurich Berg, and to carry the enemy's entrenchments and abbatis by the bayonet. The Grenadiers speedily gained poffeffion of the first flêche, and penetrated into the abbatis, where Gen. Hillier was wounded, as well as Field Marshal Lieut. Count Wallis. The enemy being pofted behind the abbatis in fuperior force, it was impoffible to advance; but they were how ever prevented from attacking the Prince of Lorraine. This gave an opportunity for Field Marshal Lieut. Petrafch (who commanded in the place of Gen. Hotze, who was wounded in the first attack) to push forward the advanced guard under Prince Rosemberg to within muf. ket-hot of the entrenchments, and to form there at dusk. His Royal Highnefs reconnoitred the enemy's entrenchments on the 5th, and, notwithstanding their strength and their advantageous fituation, he refolved to attack them at two o'clock in the morning, and to take them by ftorm. His VOL. XXXVI. JULY 1799. Royal Highness in confequence ordered his troops to be refreshed, and to take reft in fight of the enemy. This unexpected and menacing afpect difconcerted them; and to avoid the risk of this fresh attempt they retired on the 5th with the main body of their army in the greateft precipitation towards Baden, leaving in their entrenchments twenty five cannon, three howitzers, and eighteen ammunition waggons. The following day his Royal Highnefs took poffeffion of the entrenchments with a strong advanced guard, and foon after the town of Zurich. He gave orders to the Commanders of the out-pofts to fend out numerous Patroles to watch the motions of the enemy. All the Generals and the Officers of the Staff who commanded the troops deferve the highest praife. The fuccefs of this day is to be attributed to their courage and fkill. One Chief of Brigade and two Adjutant Generals are among the prifoners. The enemy estimates their lofs at four thoufand men. Ours will be made known immediately. [FROM THE OTHER PAPERS.] LONDON, JULY 14.-This day an over-land exprefs arrived at the India Houfe, which brought the following important intelligence from Mr. Tooke, Agent to the Company at Conftantinople, communicated by the Directors to the Lord Mayor; 66 Eaft India Houfe, July 13. "A letter from Sir Sidney Smith, dated Acre, May 16, ftates that the French had made four defperate attacks on that place, in every one of which they had been repulfed with great lofs: in the whole, they had loft eight Generals, 80 of their beft officers, and up. wards of 4000 of their beft troops. "Buonaparte has loft the confidence of his army, who are very discontented. The Princes of the Drufes, who were the only friends he had, had come over to the Turks. In the fourth attack, the Turks rufhed in upon the bayonets of the French (who could fire but once) with their fabres, and cut them down in a horrible manner. "A private letter from Smyrna mentions the names of the eight Generals killed, viz. Laffalle, Caffarelli, Langeer, Lafne, Devos, Vaux, Kampen, and Dugua." K JUNE JUNE 3. Madame Royale of France arrived at Mittau, and her marriage with the Duc D'Angouleme (fon of Monfieur Compte D'Artois) was cele brated on the roth by the Cardinal De Montmorency, Grand Almoner of France. The interview of the Princefs with Louis XVIII. who went four TH leagues from Mittau to meet her, occa fioned a very tender and affecting scene between the uncle and niece, in retracing in the unhappy Monarch all the misfortunes of the illuftrious family, and of which Madame Royale had fhared in the Temple. The Queen arrived alfo at Mittau on the 4th of the fame month. DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE. HIS day, between eight and nine o'clock, his Majefty, mounted on a beautiful white charger, and followed by the male branches of the Royal Family, a crowd of General Officers, &c. went from Buckingham House to inspect all the Volunteer Corps in different ftreets of the metropolis. He paffed over Westminster Bridge, and proceeded by the Obelisk to Blackfriars bridge, on the centre of which he was met by the Lord Mayor and Aldermen, who afterwards rode before him, the Lord Mayor carrying the fword of ftate. His Majefty proceeded through Bridge-ftreet, St. Paul's-fquare, Cornhill, &c. in front of the different Affociations, making a circle to the Artillery Ground, where the Prince of Wales, as Colonel, appeared at the head of the Artillery Company, and thence to the Lord Chancellor's, in Upper Guildford-ftreet, where all the Royal Family breakfasted; the King then reviewed the Bloomsbury and other corps in that neighbourhood, and about fix o'clock returned home. The number of Volunteers vifited by, the King were 12,200; and no Sovereign ever experienced greater proofs of the loyalty of his fubjects, than did his Majefly on this day of parade and rejoicing. LOSS OF THE GANGES SCHOONIR. CALCUTTA, JAN. 21.-It is with much concern we ftate the lofs of the Company's armed fchooner the Ganges, commanded by Capt. Wade, the parti. culars of which are as follow:The Ganges came to an anchor on the evening of the 11th, to the Eastward of Lacam's Channel. The Laurel was then about four leagues further in the offing, in a South Eafterly direction. About eight o'clock at night, while Caprain, Wade and his Officers were on deck, a difagreeable fmell of burning oil and fmoke came from the cabin. On going below, the fmoke appeared to be coming from aft. The gun-room was im This mediately cleared, and on opening the were were on fire having been blown up with the magazine; he was encouraged, therefore, to renew his efforts to fave the remains of the fchooner; but unfortunately a part of the burning materials had been carried up by the explofion into the maintop, and this communicating to the rigging, fet the whole on fire, which falling down from time to time, rekindled the flame in various parts of the hull: and moft of the water buckets and other implements having been blown overboard, no hope remained of being able to fave any part of the wreck that might ferve as a raft for those who remained. The flames extending over nearly the whole of the wreck, left no time to deliberate, and but little for a laft exertion. Whatever things could be met with to answer the purpose, were haftily lashed together, and put overboard as a raft, to which all the men on board, amounting to fifty-nine, were obliged to commit their fafety. The poor boatswain, who from his broken leg was almoft unable to move, was affifted to the raft; and all hands having got hold, it was pushed from alongfide; but immediately before leaving the fchooner Capt. Wade had ordered the cable to be cut, that, as it was ebb tide, the wreck of the fchooner and the raft might be drifted together towards the Laurel, that the fight of the burning wreck might guide the boats from that fhip in the track to find them; for, as they had fired guns of diftrefs on the breaking out of the fire, and as they knew the light must be feen from the Laurel, they confided in her coming to their affiftance. The raft and wreck continued drifting with the ebb tide, within piftol shot of each other, for about two hours, when the wreck fuddenly went down ; a circumftance that rendered their fituation more difinal, as the disappearance of the light leffened the chance of the expected boats falling in with them. Captain Wade propofed that they should now and then raife a general fhout, as the boats might perhaps be within hearing, though they might not be able to difcern them. This expedient was readily adopted. After the elapfe of fix hours in the water, paffed under an awful anxiety, the found of the pulling of oars infpired them with unfpeakable joy, and in the courfe of half an hour they were taken up by the Laurel's boat, and safely carried on board, where they were received with the kindness due to their misfortunes. The caufe of the fire on board the Ganges is afcribed to the fpontaneous combuftion of a small quantity of wood-oil, contained in a dubber, or leathern jar, which was ftowed in the after gun-room. A fire, originating from a like caufe, occurred in the arfe nal in Fort William, about five years ago. MARRIAGES. ALEXANDER Johnston, efq. to Mifs William Campbell.

The following eulogium on this gentleman, evidently the production of a friend, may probably merit fome abatement :-He was a man whose fingular felicity it was to excel in every thing he fet his heart and hand to, and who deferved in a certain degree, if any one ever did fince the days of Crichton, the epithet of admirable. He was the best dancer, the best skaiter of his time, and beat all his competitors in gymnastic honours. He excelled too as a musician and a d.fputant, and very early as a Latin poet in short, whatfoever he undertook, he did it con amore, and as perfectly as if it were his only accomplishment. Quod volebat, valde volebat. He was polite in his conversation, elegant in his manners, and amusing in a high degree, or otherwife in the extreme, as he felt himself and his company. If at any time he was rude, brufque, infolent, or overbearing, fome allowance ought to be made for a ftate of health highly bilious, which influenced the man at times, and gave a yellow tinge, and a faturnine hue to his character. He was bred at Eton with Mr. Fox and Lord Fitzwilliam, and at Cambridge with Mr. Hare and Lord Carlisle. After he had finished his academic course, he came to London, and for many years figured in the circle of bon ton, as the Coryphæus of fashion, and led the dancing world at balls and affemblies, till he went with Mr. Eden and Lord Carlisle to America. Returned from thence, he was some time after sent by Mr. Fox to Paris, as Secretary of Legation, and remained a fhort time Plenipotentiary when the Duke of Manchester came home. Mr. Storer paffed a great part of his life with Lord North; in whofe family he was domefticated more than in his own. His father died about fix years ago at 76, of the fame complaint as his fon, having lived 13 years longer; he left him a large Jamaica eftate, which, in the annus magnus of the Weft India revenues, produced cool, to this the fon added 5oool. a year in Berkshire. His library was curious and select in a variety of departments, and rich in old bindings, in old plays, and Caxtons. Many of his books were illuftrated with prints by his own hands,. and decorated with drawings by various artists, fome of which were honorary. All thefe he left to Eton College, and fuch of his books of which they had no copies. The duplicates are to be fold. His fine collection of prints before and after the Revolution, he has left to the fame place, with all Sir Joshua's, except Mrs, Baddeley and her cat, which he had not got. His career was brilliant, but fhort. He lived much at Purley, where, aided by Mr. Repton, he made a place on the banks of the Thames, and left from 12 to 15,000l. to build a house, cus, atque "Salcos et vineta crepat mera; præparat ulmos; Immoritur ftudiis, et amore fenefcit babendi." He has left his fortune, a good 8cool. a year, to his nephew, who is in the navy; and, in default of iffue, to his niece, who must take his hame, if she takes his estate. The only legacy in his will, is 1000l. to James Hare, efq. He had once, in a former will, given all he was then worth to Lord Carl fle; but subsequent events induced him to change this difpofition of his effects. Mr. Luke Idefon, of Golden-fquare.
