Difguifed in men's clothes, the enlifted at the age of 20 in the Auftrian fervice, where the ferved three whole years as a common foldier, and two and a half as a corporal, in the foot regiment of Hagenbach. She behaved herself as became a valiant foldier in a'l the campaigns of that war, which Maria Therefa, at the commencement of her reign, carried on against the Bavarians and French. She did her duty in the moft foldier-like manner, on marches and on guard, at stormings, attacks, and battles, and won the univerfal admiration of her fellow-foldiers. A fevere diforder baving attacked her was the means of difcovering her fex; and the matter was reported to the High Council of War. By an order of that Council he was called to Vienna, and brought before the emprefs, who, upon examining into the affair, heftowed upon this female heroine a pension of eight guilders a month. To her latest age the preferved that heroic look, ftep, and gefture, which he had acquired in her military capacity. She was able to fhew feveral wounds on her head and arms. General Stoffel, who happened to be at Eichstadt, at that time, on the recruiting fervice, attended her body to the grave with his party, and faw the German Amazon honourably interred.

T. Thwaites, B. D. rector of Seagrave, co. Lecetter, and formerly fellow of Queen's college, Cambridge. At Greenock, John Wright, efq. collec tor of excife. 23. At Bedgbury, near Goudhurst in Kert, in his 69th year, John Cartier, efq, late governor of Bengal. He went to Bengal, as a writer in the fervice of the Eaft India Company, in 1749-50; and, foon after his arrival, was appointed an aflitant to the factory of Dacca; where he refided until the expulfion of the English from Calcutta, and the rest of their factories, by the Nabob, Surajah Dowíah, in 1756, when he joined the rest of his countrymen at Fulta; to which place they had retired from all quarters, and remained, until the arrival of Admiral Watson and Colonel Chive from Madras, to revenge the unprovoked aggreffion of the Nabob, and to reinstate the Company in their factories. At that period of diftrefs to the British interefts in India, Mr. C. came forward as a volunteer with many of the civil fervants of the Company, and the remaining European inliabitants of Calcutta. He was engag d. under Colouel Clive, at the battle of the Bungaloe, and at Hoogly alfo, which terminated in the defeat of the Nabob's army, and a temporary peace, by which the company recovered their former factories and poffeflions. During the interval between this period and 1767, Mr. C. fucccfively and worthily filled the different civil appointments at Dacca, of which he became chief in 1761. With the exception of one vifit to Calcutta, in 1763, whither he was fummoned to attend a general council, his refidence at Dacca was uninterrupted. In 1767, he became fecond in the council of Calcutta; and in the beginning of 1770, on the departure of Mr. Verelit, took charge of the Bengal government by the previous appointment of the Court of Directors. In that high office he was fucceeded by Mr. Haftings, in April, 1772, and returned to England in January following. The eulogium of the late Mr. Burke on Mr. Cartier's conduct, during his fuperintendance at Bengal, was not the refult of perfonal acquaintance, for never was there any connexion between them; nor from an invidious contraft between him and Me. Haftings; but proceeded from a fenfe of his real merits. In this teftimony, all the contemporaries of Mr. C. cordially concurred; for no instance can be produced of any deviation from the strictuft integrity. In the antumn o 1774, he married his fecond wife, Stephena, daughter of Stephen Law, efq. of Broxbouro, Herts, formerly governor of Bombay, and fifter of Dr. L. archdeacon of Rochester. Near the end of the fame year, he fettled at Bedgbury, which eftate he purchased in 1784, where he conftantly refided until his death, extending his liberality to many indigent neighbours, and rendering this liberality more improlive houfe to attend his bufinefs (and who in Roads, have been taken up.

Margite, Feb. 10. Repeated as Lave been the awful vifitations with which this town and neighbourhood has been afflicted during this winter*, that which occurred * Tw.ve of our fithermen and neighhours having been drowned at three differ-. without ent times. within these few days has, in every distressing point of view, alarmingly exceeded them all. The hoy Margate, of Margate, John Gondhorn Captain, Mr. John Sacket owner, very deeply laden with cora for the London market, having a crew of 4 men, with 28 patfengers, failed from the harbour in moderate weather, at three on Saturday afternoon, and came to an anchor in the Roads till near 9 in the evening, when they again got under fail, and foon after the weather began to be very tempestuous; but they continued working against the wind till they had arrived, about midnight, nearly off Reculver, with the intention of going to anchor under the hook of Margite find; bur, on making their laft tack towards the land, the strap of the founding-lead broke, and, though the vellel was put about, yet, before another lead could be fited, the Aruck, it was fuppofed, on the tal of the Reculver fand: they then let go the anchor, and the water flowing, the vesel fwung off and rode clear. They then got up the anchor, and, fetting the fails, fhe was drawing off the land, when the gib-rackle broke, which made it impoffible to get her head from the wind; the Captain then lafhed down the tiller, and went forward to fet another gib-fail, when, by the veffel's Ariking the ground, the taler was rent in two, and, before it could he replaced, the rudder was beaten off; and thereby the vellel was rendered totally unmanageable. They then let go their anchor a fecond time, but the boy continuing to heat on the ground in a moft alarming manner, and apprehending the had fprung a leak, and finding the pumps were choaked, they were forced to let flip the cable, and let her drive in to fhore, on which the was beaten, about a mile and a half from the village of Reculver. The scene then he came truly horrible, as a most dreadful fea was breaking over the vellel every moment, and the women and chidren uttering the most lamentable cries. In the midst of thus diftrefs, Mr. Bone, paffenger, and local Preacher in the connexion of the late Rev. John Welley, like the true Chriftian and faithful Divine, with great refignation, exhorted and prayed with his fellow-fufferers, and was heard by the furvivors to the very laft, lifting his voice in fupplitations and praifes to his Redeemer. Five of the paffengers, and four of the crew, having taken to the shrouds, were faved by continuing there till the water was fo lowered that they could get on fhore about 5 in the morning. One other pallenger, Mr. Jefe Carroway, of Margate, was fwept off te deck, but most providentia 1, after kitle exertion, was thrown on the beach by the waves, and escaped; and fuppofes, that very foon after the cabin was filled with water, and 7 paffengers who remained therein drowned, and the remaining 15 and the Captain, who were on the deck, were then swept away by the merciless waves; as, while he lay on the beach, he heard a general fcream of diftrefs, and then all was ftil!-The fcene which the morning prefented to the affed fpectators, which, by to o'clock, were fome hundreds from Margate and the neighbouring' villages, it is impoffible to defcribe; as, within the length of a mile and an half, 15 men and women lay dead on the fhore, and very foon after 7 other paffengers were taken in the fame ftare from the cabin, making in the whole 23 perfons as follows: Drowned. Of Margate. I Mr. John Goodborn, Captain. 3 4 Sarah Thornton, his wife. 5 Henry Thornton, their fun, aged 13 years. 6 Mrs. Crow, widow. 7 Thomas Edmunds, fon of Mr. Thomas E.

From Margate. 8 Mifs Smith Agnes Nefbit, No. 5, Hollis ftreet, Clare-market, London, aged covered from the fea, and fuch of the bodies as were not owned by their friends, were decently buried at Birchinton. The hoy being unladen floated, and was foon after brought into our pier. It is 171 years fince a Margate hoy was loft; and then, being Nov. 3, 1631, the Rev. Humphrey Wheatley, A native of Leicestershure, and vicar of Margate, his parith-clerk, and fome other pallengers, were drowned. "Diftrous Day! what ruin halt thou bred! mourn; maze Where Reafon, loft in endless error. Atrays! DOMESTIC OCCURRENCES. This afternoon, about half past 5, a ter rible fire broke out in the large range of warehouses, chiefly ufed as a depot for coffe and cotton, belonging to Mr. Pugh, in Thames street, the corner of Dowgate hill; occafioned by the fnuff of a candle being imprudently thrown on the ground near one of the hog fheads. It began in the lower part of the premilfes, and was dif covered by the strong smell of the burning cffee, with which the warehouses were filled. Notwithstanding the contignity of the premilks to the Thames, a speedy and ample tupply of water, and the early attendance of the fire-engines, the whole infide of thele extensive buildings was burnt, together with all the produce in them, which cannot yet be effimated. The flames, being continually fed from within, could not be extinguifhed for many hours; but the ftrong party-walls, and there being but Jittle wind, prevented the extenfion of the mischief. Thufday, fan. 21. This day, during the dreadful form, the wall of Mr. Pugh's warehouse on Dowgate hill, being unsupported, fell against an adjoning bonfe, and nearly demolithed it-In the height of this hurricane, as a hear fe was going out of the yard of the Flying Horfe, Lambeth-ftreet, Whitechapel, to receive the corpfe of a Jew in the neighbourhood of that place, the wind that was confined in the yard, by the opening of the gate, forced the hoofs and carriage to the upposite fide of te street, befides tearing the gite to pieces, and freng the panties from feveral par ́s of the house and Habling. Satu day, Feb. 6. about 30 years of age, and extremely well dreffed, was observed to throw herself off the wall of Kensington-Garden into the Serpentine River, from which he was foon afterwards taken out, and every means immediately used to restore her to life, but without effect, as she had been fuffocated by her head sticking in the mud, the water being very thallow in that part of the river.
