The Threshers still continue their depredations in the north western districts. The Derry mail coach was lately attacked by a number of armed men, near Drogheda, but owing to its being doubly guarded, they were disappointed in their object; but the mails have been stopped and plundered so frequently that the merchants and bankers of Dublin have found it necessary to prepare a memorial to the Lord Lieutenant, setting forth the necessity of a more adequate protection. The acquisition of horses and arms now appears to be one of their principal objects, and many houses have been attacked with this view. In the Dear neighbourhood of Limerick, a servant of colonel Lefroy's was lately compelled at so early an hour as cight in the evening, to give them two of his master's horses. The same night, a party of about sixty men, well mounted and armed, preceded by a piper on horseback, and another man sounding a long horn, visited a public house in the liberties of that town, compelled the landlord to supply them with liquor, and afterwards robbed him of a horse. They take every precaution to disguise themselves when in arms, and also to murder every person whom they suspect not to be stedfast in their cause. -A poor farmer in the County of Mayo, being unwilling to reside any longer amidst so much tumult and danger, advertised his house and stock to be sold, having determined to take a small farm in the County of Dublin. Some of the Threshers hearing this, suspected that he perhaps was acquainted with some of their transactions, and was about to inform against them. To prevent this, a near rela tion of his, connected with the gang in the neighbourhood, under the mask of friendship, brought him to a public house; and, while they were there drinking in a room with several other men, a man with his head, body, and all his limbs covered with ropes of hay, regularly twisted round them, entered, and, with a hatchet which he held uplifted in his hands, absolutely split the suspected man's head in two pieces. The relation of the deceased has absconded. Several of the other men present have been apprehended; but there is no evidence to prove that they were in league with the murderer, who is, of course, as yet unknown. At the Commission held lately at Sligo, only one was convicted, all the others who were indicted having escaped from want of evidence. In some instances they still affect to act as redressers of wrongs. They lately made a nocturnal visit to a poor man in the County of Longford, who reuted an orchard, and enquired what he paid for it; when he had informed them, they said it was a fair rent, and wished him success with his bargain; but they de clared, that if they had found he had been overrated, they would have compelled his landlord to refund an hundred fold. A priest in the same County had charged a poor woman double fees for a christening, on account of there being twins. The Threshers soon paid him a visit, and compelled him to pay a sum of money, with which a cow was purchased and sent home to the cabin of the poor woman. A nightly guard is placed at the passages of the river Inny to prevent the insurgents extending their depredations farther into Leinster, and it is said to be the intention of government to call out the whole yeomanry force of Connaught and the adjacent Counties.

FOREIGN

FOREIGN OCCURRENCES.

From a list lately published of the Deaths in the Heptarchy of Pinfasek, in Russia, it appears that five were 110 years old, one 113, four 120, one 130, and one 150.

The Empress of Russia was lately delivered of a princess, at St. Petersburgh.

Letters from Auch mention the death of Pierre Monnede, at the age of 116 years and four months. He worked as a day labourer until a little before his death. He recollected the war of the Spanish Succession in the reign of Louis XIV. He died through hunger, occasioned by his not being able to swallow, through weakness, the food which was given to him. He had never been sick in his life.

Letters have been received at the India House, from the East Indies, dated the 28th of July.-They were brought by an American vessel, by way of America. It appears, that a very disagreeable affair occurred at Vellore, shortly before the letters were dispatched. A battalion of Sepoys, in consequence, it is supposed, of a quarrel about some women, fell upon the 16th Regiment of Native Infantry, and put every man to death, including two officers, Major Charles Armstrong, and another. Immediately after this bloody outrage, a regiment of Cavalry was sent for to Arcot, which hastened to attack the Sepoys, to whom no quarter was given, nor did the dragoons think their vengeance complete until every one of the guilty battalion were sacrificed. We have the satisfaction to state, that this unpleasant affair did not originate in any spirit of disaffection to the Government.

Died. On the 5th of May last, at Dacca, in Bengal, after a short illness, Christopher Roberts, Esq. third Judge of the Provincial Court there, very deservedly and sincerely lamented,

October 10th, at Gibraltar, after a short illness, Richard Lewis, Esq. Apothecary to the forces.

At Warren, in America, of a mortification in his bowels, occasioned by swal-lowing a sharp chicken bone, General Knox.

Lately, at Aux Cayes, in Hispaniola, Duncan M'Intosh, Esq.-He was assassinated by the Negroes, because, it is supposed, some of them were deeply indebted to him. They cancelled the debt with the blood of the creditor !!! Mr. McIntosh was a native of Scotland; to the ardent friendship which characterises his countrymen, he added unbounded humanity and uncommon beneficence. During the massacres which followed the evacuation of Aux Cayes by the French, the virtues of this excellent man were put to a severe trial. Then, when death and pillage were the penalty of shelter or protection, he saved hundreds of persons pointed out for immediate destruction. His known goodness drew the wretched people in crowds; his house sheltered them, lis table fed them, his wardrobe clothed them, and his gold not only arrested the fury of the monsters who sought their lives, but also procured them mears of escaping to security and safety. His fortune depended solely on his success in commercial enterprize; and his fortune and his life he readily risked in behalf of the unfortunate!

The Supplement to the Madrid Gazette of October 14, 1806, gives an account of the return of Dr. Francis Xavier Baimis, Surgeon extraordinary to the King of Spain, from a voyage round the world, taken for the sole purpose of conveying the benefits of vaccination to all the transmarine possess ons of the.crown of Spain, and to other countries in their vicinity. This truly liberal and benevolent expedition set sail from Corunna in November, 1803, carrying out 22 children who had never had the small-pox, as the means of preserving in due efficacy the vaccine matter by successively transmitting it from one to another during the voyage. It stopt at the Canaries, at Porto Rico, and at the Caracas. In that province it was divided into two branches, one destined for South America, under a sub-director; the other, under Balms, for the Havanna and Yucatan. The
