• LONDON, April 5.
The following letter was yesterday re
ceived from Falmouth, dated April 1.
This morning arrived two more
prizes taken by Sir Edward Pelew’s
hjuadron. We have now nine prizes in
our harbour, and fevcral more are car
ried into other ports. This afternoon a
prize was brought in from the
fame squadron. The prize matter, an
officer of the Revolutionaire, credibly
informed me, that Sir Edward’s squad
ron had fallen in with a frcfh convoy in
the Bay, 75 of which were taken ; they
are expected here very soon, and the Re
volutionaire with them, as she was obli
ged to part with so many hands toward.’
manning and conducting the said prizes,
that she had orders to make the belt o;
her way to England.”
The death of the nabob of the Car
natic is thus stated in the Madras Cour
ier, of the 14th of October lalt :
“ Yesterday morning, at e ; ght o’clock,
departed this life, his highness the na
bob Wallajah, nabob of the Carnatic.
At eleven o’clock, the fort and his ma
jesty’s ships in the roads began to fire
minute guns, and continued to the num
ber of years his highness had completed
which was 78. At 12 o’clock, the
body was removed from the place, at
Chepauk, under a canopy of ilate, to
the place of interment, the Grand
Mosque, at Treplicane. His highness,
had ever been regarded and etteemed as
the firm and fmcere ally of the Britifli
nation. His highness will be succeeded
on the Mufnud by his illustrious eldell
son, his higlir.efs the nabob Ulndut Li
Omorah.”
PARIS, April 2.
Another triumph of the Republicans

To those whom it may concern, to all
cuizens in Pmiadeipnia.
Twenty-two ba ,ks are already eftab
liflie-l in dinereut parts oi tfi.s city, and
many more are in contemplation to pro
mote gambling 1 not leis than thirty or
forty people ot dnfereat deicriptions <>et
toger. er in each of these houses every
evening in the week, with a quantum
iuffiuc.it ol caln in tl.eir po.kcts to
muKe a facrifite to the goddess of for
tune, aucquate to their hopes for her
lavorj,
A lew nights ago, a young gentle
man took tne deiperate method of pois-
Oiiing nimfeit, in oruer to get rid of a
inonv.9 lets cciite.ice ; happily for him,
howe\er his situation was known in
ti.ni , a.id he obtained a lucceisful relic:,
he reiares having 101 l 1500 dollars in
tne courie of two iucceiiive nights, and
allures mat he knows leverat others who
have been driven nearly to the point,
through a fimiiar rnifchance.
‘1 he kind ol gaming practiced in these
houses, is by no means enrertaining,
therefore nothing but the bait of gain
can seduce one into an alrnott certain
loss, which is often irreparub e, and al
ways feverelyrelt.
J hat game is ettablifhed upon a prin
ciple that brings by parcels into the
hands ofthefc bankholders, all the mon
ey that is brought thither after having
circulated a while round the table, so
that when a man happens to have the
chance to win 2 or 300 dollars, one may
be lure that thousands have been 1011.
from this preamble you are invited
to reflect upon the consequences of this
new fort of speculation.
Jt would be very w ell if these house.,
were frequented only by men who are
so rich, that not knowing what to do
with their money, they lhouid pia,
with it like children with their dollars.
O happy place-where there i, no needy
person to relieve! nor any occasion to
perfoiffl an adt of benevolence !! Bu
J am afraid that what I am told is but
too true. Haughty iron hearted osten
tation, has kicked away that balhtul
sweet girl charity.
