By the Indiamen arrived at Galway we have received the following advices: The Lord Walfingham, Henry Dundas, Hawke and Warley, were at China in January laft. Thefe hips are expected to arrive very shortly. Mr. John Palba, third Mate of the Warren Haftings, unfortunately lost his life in India, in a dispute.

The De Snelefe Poft Dutch floop, captain Spockler, from Lisbon, one of the convoy, was taken by the following French fquadron, viz. La Proferpine, 50 guns; L'Apacieus and La Gentille, 44 each; and another frigate; La Muzette, Le Tigre, Le Dequetois, and another floop, on the 26th of July, and was retaken on the 27th by the Refolution privateer of Weymouth, and carried into that place. The French prifoners fay they have other squadrons at fea, and that fix fail of the line were to have failed a few days after they left France, which they fuppofe to be at sea now. Moft of the Faft India ships carry 32 guns, to the use of which men were regularly trained during the voyage, so that a convoy for them was not fo neceffary as might have been imagined. Captain Montgomery, of the Bombay Castle, acted as commodore. We understand that a corvette was to be fent from the Ifle of France to Madras, the 25th of March last, with the English who were taken prisoners in the Pigot. The French have named the late Princefs Royal Indiaman, which they took from us laft September in the Straits of Sunda, the Dugaytroin, and mounted her with 34 guns. August 9. The embarkation of the regiments ordered from this establishment on foreign fervice has been countermanded by government. The earl of Bective, lord viscount Jocelyn, ters of fervice to raife (each) a regiment of and lord baron Glentworth, have received let dom. cavalry, for the internal defence of the king letters of fervice to raise a regiment of infantry to the dignity of marquis. of the fheriffs of Limerick, in the room of Thursday morning the body of Mr. Derrick, who recently kept the timber yard in Off-lane, was found drowned at the new dock at the Custom house. It is apprehended he had been returning homeward, elevated in liquor, on the preceding night, and miffing his way, fell into the dock, where there is no barrier whatever to prevent any one from falling into, who may the darkness of night, on foot or on horsebe unfortunate enough to ftray towards it in back. in town, advise, that on the 26th ultimo the Letters from Rotterdam, received yesterday lands near that city were laid under water. The lofs of our linen fhip, the Cadiz Packet, forry to hear, is at length confirmed beyond a Bielfon, bound from this port to Cadiz, we are doubt; a letter having yesterday been received here by Mr. Bielfon, the elder, from the mate, ture of the veffel by a French squadron on the dated Cognac, near Rochfort, advifing the capthe hands, had been fent into Rochfort with 21st of May; that the mate, with other of tained on board a frigate. This is the most the prize, but that the captain had been devaluable veffel belonging to this country captured in the war by the enemy. Indiaman from the ifle of France by the Huffar Montague, with two cutters, under the com- Seventeen of the Sans Culottes, confined in August 18. The Charlotte, Smeaton; and the Flora, James, arrived in this harbour on Saturday lait from London. Several Several transports with troops have failed from Portsmouth for this kingdom, under convoy of the Triton frigate. The 101ft regiment is ordered from Scotland to do duty in this kingdom.

On Friday night inspector Shee proceeded to the county of Wicklow, and apprehended John Gravil and John Gavan, for robbing the Wicklow mail on Wednesday morning laft, and on Saturday night lodged them in Newgate. The poftboy fully identified them both as two of the party, and recognized Gavan as the perfon who cut the cord of the bag. A few days ago a fine boy, eight years old, was drowned in an attempt to fwim near the point of the North-wall. He was picked up by a ship's boat, then failing down the harbour, but every means to recover him proved ineffectual. Parents are extremely remifs in fuffering helpless children of that age to roam at large and venture into the river to fwim, when fo many dangers of drowning furround them, and when they are incapable of affifting themselves in the flightest accident that may endanger their lives. Horfe ftealing promises to become prevalent in the environs of this city. Two or three horfes have been carried off in the neighbourhood of Ranelaghi, and attempts have been made upon others. In England perfons put fteel collars with their names upon them on their horfes, when in the fields, which secure them from being stolen, it being impregnable to a file, at leaft for fome hours. A fimilar precaution here would certainly have as good an effect, and is not fo dangerous a one as that now in ufe, of locking the four feet together with fetters. LEIXLIP SPA. A gentleman confined to his room undertook, on Sunday laft, for his amufement, to make an eftimate of the number of perfons who on that day paffed through Leixlip, on their way to the new fpa; for which purpofe he placed himfelf in his window at 6 o'clock in the morning, with pen, ink and paper, and between that hour and five in the afternoon he reckoned, 55 coaches,-29 poft-chaifes,-25 noddies, 82 jaunting cars,--20 gigs,-6 open landaus, 221 common cars, with company,-and 459. In the addrefs, the exertions of fir Charles Talbot on the occafion, are mentioned with warm approbation. A merchant in this town received by this day's mail a letter from St. Vincent's, dated 28th June, ftating that a gentleman had arrived there who had been on board the English admiral's hip at Guadaloupe on the 20th, and that the French fieet and armament were com. pletely furrounded, and would probably furrender the next day.

A party from one of the transports, under convoy of the Nonfuch man of war and fome gunboats, lying at anchor there, bound to Jersey, obtained permiffion to land, that they might take the benefit of fea-bathing from the shore. Returning to their fhip, the wind blowing ftrong from the north, and tide at ebb, the fmall boat in which they were not being more than fifteen feet long, overfet, and unhappily fixteen foldiers of the 32d regiment, and two failors, making a proportion of twenty-eight in number, who firft left the veffel, were drowned.

We acknowledge the receipt of I. A. B's letter from Belfast, but are totally at a lofs in what manner to conftrue his fentiments. If he intends fincerity, with an equal portion of it on our part we thank him for the enamoured partiality which he fo lovingly expreffes, but advife him to transfer his fondness to fome gentle fairone in his own neighbourhood, whofe vanity may not be indifferent to the fulfomeness of coarje panegyric: If, cynic like, he means to indulge a Ay laugh in his fleeve, we are never lefs affected than with the grin of petulance, and imitate, on fuch occafions, the example of the lion in the fable, who difdained to wreak his vengeance because an ass was to be the object of his fury.
