Broughton, for that island. The Staira, with Mr. Rose and suite on board, will sail at day-light to-morrow morning.

London. Nov. 11. Yesterday the remains of the archbishop of York were interred in Westminster Abbey. The procession was plain, and most soleran. Plymouth, Nov. 15. Au Admiralty Messenger arrived yesterday at noon to hurry out all the men of war in Cawsand Bay directly, to join Sir Sidney Smith's squadron off Cork; in conse quence of which, the Conqueror, 74, Captain I. Pellew, was paid yesterday afternoon, and this morning she and the Plantagenet, 74, Captain Bradley, sailed from Cawsand Bay, and stood down Channel with a fine wind at E. N. E. The Hibernia, 110, and the Foudroyant, 84, will sail to-morrow, or Tuesday. The object of the expedition is, of course, a secret, and no doubt will be accomplished with honour and advantage to this country, being intrusted to so good an officer as Sir Sidney Smith and the officers who accompany him on the expedition.-Went up the harbour, the Alemene, 36, Eurydice, 24, and Raleigh, 18, to refit.-Sailed the Cuckoo schooner, with dispatches for the Chan

net fleet.

Deal, Nov. 15. A French national schooner is come into the Downs as a flag of truce. She went past Dover yesterday evening with a press of sail, and is supposed to have come from Boulogne.

Deal, Nov. 16. The schooner, which arrived in the Downs yesterday, is a flag of truce from Calais, from whence she was perceived coming out by the Calypso, and an officer of that vessel was put on board there. The Admiral's boat was sent off to her, but no person we believe has yet been landed: conjectures are various; some are apprehensive that she has brought over terms for a negotiation for peace; others assert, that she has an ambassador from the court of Vienna; whilst those who pretend to be better informed, state that a Prussian officer is on board, charged with a diplomatic mission to our government, but nothing has transpired here to enɑble us to state for certain the object. Her

arrival was announced by a telegraphic dispatch as soon as she hove in sight.

Deal, Nov. 17. A Gentleman was landed here from the flag of truce about eleven o'clock this morning: he is from Vienna, charged with dispatches for the Austrian ambassador at London, but of the nature of them not a word has transpired here. After waiting upon Admiral Rowley, at his office, he set off for London in a post-chaise and four. He arrived at Paris on the 9th inst. on which day Bonaparte was expected there, and on the day he left that place, the 13th, a Russian messenger had arrived. Ha came out of Calais on the 15th, (the day he arrived in the Downs) having been detained there for a vessel to convey him to England. The vessel, it is thought, is to remain here to take him back again, being since put under charge of the guard-ship.-The Calypso, which escorted him into the Downs, is ordered back to her station off Calais.

IN a pleasant village in the North of England lived, not many years since, Theophilus Darwell, the vicar of the parish, in which he constantly resided, equally to the edification and comfort of those to the instruction of whom in pure religion, and that morality which must necessarily flow from it, he had been appointed. He loved his parishioners, and they revered him. He was as it were their father, their friend, the arbiter of all their little disputes, and rarely was it that they appealed from his decision to that of the lawyer.

This good man had a wife, two daughters, and a son, all of a disposition and character not dissi milar to his own. They lived, as may be supposed, truly happy in their affection for each other, and

in friendship and harmony with all around them. Their felicity last ed several years, but nothing in this world continueth for ever. Death within a short time carried off, first, the wife of the good pastor, next his eldest daughter, and lastly him self; leaving his youngest daughter, Lavinia, and his son Henry, then little more than fifteen years old, almost pennyless orphans; for the income of their father, though he possessed some fortune of his own besides the fees and dues of his vicarage, would have left them but little surplus had it been ten times greater, so ready was his li berality to listen to every call of charity pointing out to him the needy and the distressed.

Henry, who, to the most ami. able mildness of disposition and
