foreign intelligence. LONDON, January 15. Lord Camelford. A circumstance of a very extraordinary nature occurred on Saturday, of which the following are the authentic particulars . On Saturday morning early, the right hon. Lord Camelford arrived at Dover in one of the night coaches from London, and went to the city of London Inn. After taking his breakfaft, he walked about the P'", en quiring for a boat to convey him to Deal. One Adams, a boatman, offered to take his Lord (hip for one guinea. Lord Cameltord called him aside, and after some conversation told him that he thought he (hould have oc casion to go to the fuher fide of the water, and that he wished to be landed at Calais, as he had some watches and muslins which he wilhed to difpftfe of in France. He thtm bargained for what he should pay to go to Crlais: the boatman a Iked 15 guineas Lord Camelford said he could only give 10, as his goods would slot allow a large sum. At length it was agreed he should pay 12 guineas, and go off in the_ evening. Adams in the interval, consulted with his brother, who had a (hare in the boat, and they agreed to acquaint Mr. Newport, the collector, of the conversation that had palled. Mr. Newport accordingly planned that the pevfoi) fliould be fullered to get into the boat, and be there seized. At fix o'clock- Adams called at the city of London Inn, and Lord Camelford and he went to the wa ter fide. He recommended his Lordship to put on one of his great coats, as he would be cold, which he did—Lord Camelfard got into jhe boat, where there were four men, and {laving fiated hin-.fel', Mr. Newport seized him, and said—" You are my prisoner." Lord Camelford furrtndtred without oppo sition and was immediately taken to the Cu stomhouse. There was found on him a brace ef pistols, and a fliort dagger two edged, a 1 out eight inches long, and rather curved, there was also in hi* pocket a letter in French, addressed to some person at Pa ris. He cut a molt strange and dirty ap pearance, being close cropped, wore an old round hat, blue coat, white waistcoat, fufti an brteeches, and boots fplaflied all over. At i r o'clock on Saturday night his loid {hip was put into a pod; chaise, and brought to the Duke of Portland's office yesterday morning about half pall n, under the care of Mr. Newport and the two boatmen.— About 6 a privy council met, consisting of the Lord Chancellor, Mi. Pitt, Mr. Wind ham, the Duke of Portland, the Solicitor General, Mr. Wickham, and one or two gentlemen, who fat an hour, examining Mr. Newport, the Colleftor, &e.—Lord C. is committed to the custody of Johnson, a king's jneflenger. His Lordlhip is supposed to have been ac tuated by some mad project, l}ut presumed in no shape hostile to the interest of his coun try.—He told the boatmen "at Dover when negociating with them, that TurnbuTl, who robbed the Mint, was a fool, and knew not how to set about getting to France. Ori their questioning his Lordlhip what was, he said Camelford; but they did not dream of having in their cuftouy a Peer hf the realm, worth 30, 0001. a year, and related to some of the firfl families in the kingdom, and were not undeceived until they arrived at the Secretary of State's office. January 16. Ycfterday this nobleman (Lord Camel ford) was again brought up to the Duke of Portland's office, but was not examined. The Lord Chancellor and some other Lords of the Privy Council met there for a fliort time. Lord Camelford was remanded into the custody of Mr. John loft the messenger. Mr. Pitt and Lord Grenville declined at tending, leaving this extraordinary affair to the decision of the other members "of his Majesty's Council. Lord Chatham, it is fad, was alio absent on the occasion. The iituajjon of tliei'e personages is very distress ing- on account of their family alliance with this diftinguilhed objeft of Hate suspicion ; and nothing could be more pure and honora ble than theirconduifl in withdrawing from a deliberation which their prefente might be supposed in any degree to influence.

They are demons in the (hape of men, who have no magnanimity to refpett the courage of a conquered enemy, no feelings of huma nity for the wretched and unfortunate cap tive, nothing is commota with their fellow man but his worst paflioijs in their woril and most depraved state. i*d yet you are called upon to vote for Aa,ron Burr and his demo cratic ticket, every ""'man of whom openly juftifirs this nation of monsters.—Will no thing' awaken you from your stupidity ? Undoubted Confirmation. By Mr. Pilmore, a passenger in the fchr. Maffachuletts, arrived this morning from the" Havanna, we are informed that three men who eleaped the mafiacre on board the ship Ocean, had arrived at the Havanna pre vious to his departure. These men declared, that, the (hip Ocean had been engaged with two French privateers the greater part of the day, and beat them off- -In the evening they were joined by a French brig, when the ac tion w,s renewed, and the Ocean obliged to strike her colors. After which lite was board ed ; capt. Kemp was immediately murdered, when a general mafiacre took place of every man that could be found. None but the three above mentioned, who were secreted 48 hours in the hold, escaped. After the expiration of this time, they were di(cover ed, and from the abundant humanity of the conquerers were spared, and fullered to pro ceed to the Havanna. to tell their melancholy ftbry. The hopes of the French Rovalifts in the restoration of Monarchy, seem still very (an guine. A late writer tffe&s the counter re volution by a dash of ths pen, in the follow ing limple and easy mode : Four or five persons perhaps will give a king to Letters from Paris will announce to the provinces that France has a King, and the provinces will loudly reply, " Long live the King i" Even at Paris all the inhabitants (•rxce.pt about twenty) will only learn, when they awake, that they have a king, " Is it poflible ?" they will exclaim ; " how lingu lar ! I wonder at what gate he is to enter ! Well, we must take, care to hire windows beforehand, forthe crowd will be intolerably ftifling." Be on your Guard ! Citizens ! There was a daring attempt to set fire to a work shop in Fair-street on Sunday night last—The fire was discovered by a person at a late hour of the night—there does not re main a doubt but it was communicated by fomeevil difpoled person. A letter from the matter of a vessel be longing to Button, dated London 19th Jan. inform, that on his outward bound passage, on the 1 nh of December, in a heavy gale of wind, he fell in with flic brig Peggy, capt.

I suppose the greater part of the thock was over before I awoke, for I understand from several of my neighbours that they felt it for some minutes and ran out of their hou ses, that they heard a loud noise, something like the rattling of a carnage over a rough pavement, that the horses and cattleappeared to be frightened and ran about the commons and in their yards as if greatly alarmed. The (hock was felt with the fame violence to the northward of us : I have not yet learnt more than 20 miles, though no doubt, it extended a, great deal farther. It was felt on the high hills near Statcffiurg (which is 20 milss to she southward of us) much more violent than at this place—we 3re told that some people there were thrown out of their beds, and others laid hold of their bed fellows to preveut their falling." diw POST-OFFICE.
