N H I L t., ESTABLISHED NEARLY ONE HUNDRED YEARS. WILLIAM MOSS, IRONMONGER, AGENT FOR CARMARTHEN. THE beneficial effects of Insurance against loss by Fire, are no less qbviotis and important, than the conseqi.ier.ces of neglecting to insure are ruinous and dread- ful.—Life, Property, every enjoyment of the present mo- ment, and all the prospects of the future, are frequently in- volved in the of a casual conflagration hence it be. comes the duty and the policy of individual to guard them- selves against such events, by m;-ans the mostetfectual and eco nomical. Among the many Institutions have been formed to provide for the Security of the 1 ubiic on such occasions, THE UNION FIRE-OFFICE, ranks among the most respectable and liberal.—This Office has always paid Lossesor damages by Fire, from Lightning; and I ain now authorized to inform the Farmers and Public, that the Premium on the Stock of Com and H:iy, being the produce of a Farm also Cattle and I npiemants of Husban- dry thereon, will be rat d.il Two Shillings per Cunt, a id all persons insured, in this Oilice, are requested to refer to their Poiic.'es, in order that tiiey may receive the benefit or th;s reduction of the Premium on Farming Siock in their respect- ive renewals; and t^iat printed receipts are ready for deli- very, for the premiums and chity on Policies, as they become due and that printed proposals of the terms of insurance, may be had of me, which will be found as moderate in every respect as those of other Oificcs. fCf" Fanning Stock may be insured, generally, in all Barns and Qut-houses, or on a Farm, without the average clause. Persons desirous of increasing the amount of their Assurances, in consequence of the increased price of build- Ung materials, are informed, that no additional expence of Policies is incurred at this Office.—Policies insuring Three Hundred Pounds, the annual amount of which is only 6_<. are issued free of expence and all payments for losses by Fare made by this O;¡ice witltout deduction N. B. 1 In behalf of this Societv, I beg leave to return my smcere thanks to the Insurers at this OHice, for theirfavoiirs to me since my Agency at Carmarthen; and also beg to in- form those who have dropped their insurance (and others who may entertain the same opinion) in consequence of their supposition, which is grounded in weakness and error, that Offices take th remaming property, after a fie to assist them in paying the loss; that this Office pays all losses or damages, proved to be done by fire, provjied the amount does not exceed the Sum insured, without any claim or pre- tence to the remaining property that may be saved; and al- so pays in addition to the amount lost, all reasonable c iarges attending the removal of goods in time of danger; and also insurers in this Office (excepting only insurers for seven years, who are Proprietors in the concern) are not lixible to be called upon to make good losses, as the whole prope-ty of the Society is liable to pay or make good any loss by fire, which may happen to them. As to Septennial Insurers^ they are Partners in the concern, and receive their share of nle profits, which have been divided among them to the amount of at least 300,0001. and consequently they and they only are liabjfeto make good any losses which may happen to themselves t^jthe insurers for less than Seven Years, as the last rul, ii of loss, and receive no share of prop. 0" J *+* Proposals for Septennial or Annual and short period insurances, with any further inf >rmation which may he re- quired for the explaining this mode of insurance, may be had of the Agent WM.

LONDON. THURSDAY, MAY 24. A AN assertion in Mr. Grattan's Speech on Friday last, upon the Catholic Petition, has produced the resolution, mentioned in the following letter, from the University of Oxford OXFORD, MAY 23.—In consequence of the al- lusion made by Mr. Grattan, in the debate of Fri- day last, to the late election of the Chancellor, Lord Grenville, and the silence of the University on the Catholic Petitions, a Convocation was this morning held, in which it was resolved, without opposition, that the Representatives in Parliament for this University be requested to oppose the mo- tion made by Mr. Grattan, the debate on which stands adjourned to Friday next; and to resist those Petitions of the Roman Catholics of England and Ireland, which pray for (the total repeal of every test, oath, declaration or provision, which has the effect of subjecting the Petitioners to any penalty or disability whatsoever on account of their religious principles." From this it is evident, that the supporters of Lord Grenville, in Oxford, do not consider the Ca- tholic question in the same light with himself, and that the University does still retain the same opi- nion on the subject. \c A letter from Rotterdam of the ] 9th inst. states, that a, new Decree has been issued against Ameri- can Commerce, by which it is ordered, that all American property sequestered in the newly-ac- quired Countries, shall be sent to Antwerp for sale, and the produce deposited in the Sinking Fund." It is added that an American vessel had arrived at Bronweisham, loaded with tobacco and pot-ash, which it was supposed would suffer the penalty of this decree. PLYMOUTH, MAY 22.—On the 9th instant, the Nonpareil schooner, Lieut. Dickenson, engaged, near Le Croizie, Quiberon Bay, a large French brig, full of men. The action was maintained with great spirit on both sides for an hour and a quarter, during which time the enemy made three attempts to board, but was as often gallantly re- pulsed, with great slaughter. At length, seeing no chance of escape, she struck her colours. The enemy fought bravely; their commander, the se- cond in command, boatswain, and several of her crew, were killed, and many wounded. On board the Nonpareil, singular as it may appear, only one man was slightly wounded. Our vessel carried 42 men; the Frenchman 61. Thijty-five of the prisoners have arrived here in the Armide frigate. The brig has arrived, laden with wine and brandy. Arrived three chasse marees and a sloop, all French, captured by 'the Imperieuse frigate, and another chasse maree, prize to the Pickle schooner, who has also arrived.

FRIDAY, MAY25. The usual Message from his Majesty, previous to the prorogation of Parliament, was brought down yesterday. The prorogation will take place we should suppose, in a fortnight. The Scheldt fleet, consisting of four sail of the line, and some frigates, came down a day or two ago and anchored off Flushing. They were seen by some of our cruizers, who sent immediate in- formation to Sir R. Strachan, and he is now watch- ing their motions. Paris Papers have been received «o the 17th. They inform us of the surrender of St. Maura to the English; of the defeat of the Spanish Patriots' in an attempt to raise the Siege of Lerida and of an endeavour to effect a peace between Russia and Turkey, under the mediation of Denmark. Little Qr nothing has been done by the enemy at Cadiz, sine? the abandonment of Matagorda. They have evêí since been employed in erecting batteries, which reach almost across the land oppo- site to Puntales. In a few days they will, no doubt, begin to try what effect may be produced by shells. The enemy are particularly employed in con- structing a breast-tvork, and were erecting a mor- tar-battery upon the most advanced point of land to the left of Matagorda, with the hope it is sup- posed, of being able to shell the fleet. The Mole .is the landing place at Cariiss. The first battery is a work thlfwn to the right of Matagorda, about 800 yards from it, at the end of the houses on the Matagorda side of the Cano. The second battery is constructed behind the ruined works of Fort Louis, which is situated on the Trocadero. The head of the town is the situation of the Land Gate, behind, which are some barracks, where some of the British troops are quartered. It is bomb proof. Accounts have also been received at Cadiz from Gibraltar, of a victory obt ained over the French in Catalonia. These accounts were brought by two boatmen who- left CaneLrHls (near Tarragona) three days after the newp had arrived there by ex- press. The battle was fhaght near Lerida. The French were coramaiidetiby Augereau, the Spa- niards by O'Donnell. As yet no official account has been received of this affair, but from a knowledge of the situation of the two armies, a battle was nati.tlly to be expected, Between 4 HRd 5000 Spaniards were said to have been killed and wounded, and between <5 and 7000 of the French G" Donnci I is stated to have been joined by 11,000 recruits after the battle.

SATURDAY, MAY VS. Murcia and Carthagena have fallen into the hands of the enemy. This intelligence has been received-by.Government in advices from Cartha- jfrtSj|a, dated the''24th ult. A column of the enemy, SOOO strong, entered Murcia on the 23d and on the following day another column Was wirhin six leagues of Carthagena. That excellent officer, Col. Roche, had previously brought out of the har- bour of Carthagena two Spanish three-deckers, of 120 guns each-the San Carlos and Ferdinand the Seventh. The Hibernia and Northumberland, British ships of the line, were sent by Sir Samuel Hood to escort the two Spanish ships either to Minorca or Gibraltar. The Spanish army under General Blake has been obliged to disperse—But they may be expected to re-assemble. French Emissaries have been busy in endeavour* ing to stir up revolt in Canada. Several of the leading Gentlemen are said to be implicated in a plot which has been fortunately discovered, and the leaders arrested. It is said, that a plan had been proposed by the minions of Napoleon for the occupation of the forts of janada; and that a similar project had been formed for the possession of the strong places of the Floridas, that both to the North and South of the United States he might acquire a power calculated to facilitate the purpose of his ambition in North America. Accounts have been received from Barbadoes to the 1st of April last they are barren of important intelligence. They expect in the West Indies a French fleet from Toulon. We can only say that we wish it would sail from Toulon and give us an opportunity of speaking with it. Advices were yesterday received from the British head-quarters near Almeida, dated the 9th inst, The French were at St. Spirito, on the shores of the Agueda, to the north of Ciudad Rodrigo. The English encampment on the banks of the Coa, is likely to remain in the same situation. It was separated from the French head-quarters by a bold an 1 mountainous district. We are sorry to hear that the True Briton India- man is missing. It is lipped, however, that she is not lost, although considerable fears are enter- tained.

MONDAY, MAY 28. Paris Papers to the 20th, and Dutch to the 24ih, have been received; they contain a letter from General Suchet, announcing a victory to have been obtained in Catalonia over the Spanish General O'Donnel; the Patriots are said to have been com- pletely routed, and to have had near 6000 men made prisoners. A pnvate letter of the 9th, from our army, dated Calenco, six leagues from Ciudad Rodrigo, May 9, says, that H Marshal Junot commands at Astorga, about 20,000 men; Kellerman, at Salamanca, 25,000. Ney and Loissan, at Ciudad Rodrigo, 22,000. The French have 17,000 cavalry in Spain and Portugal. General Cotton has rejoined the army, and took the command of the cavalry: Lord Wellington has much better information than he could obtain* last year, by which, of course, he will regulate his movements. General Craufurd, while reconnoitring with 200 dragoons, was attacked by 400 French cavalry; he retreated under the walls of Rodrigo, when the garrison opemd a fire on the enemy, who fell back, and were immediately pur- sued by our brave fellows, who killed 12, and took IS of them prisoners." Another letter of the 8th, contains the following particulars: We came from Vizen to Almeida, on the 27th. Marshal Ney has advanced from Sa- lamanca towards Ciudad Rodrigo. His advanced guard was in sight of that place on the 25th. His forces are ascertained to amount to 24,000 exclu- sive of Junot's corps, which has by this time joined Ney. The British army is collecting in this neigh- bourhood, where we shall, to-morrow, have 23 battalions of British and 13 battalions of Portu- guese infantry—four regiments of cavalry, and about 40 pieces of artillery. This force (if it is Lord Wellington's intention to attack Marshal Ney) will, I doubt not, prove sufficient for his de- feat. The Guards have arrived this day at Celo- rico; Gen. Cameron's brigade is at Linhares; Gen. Low's brigade is at Frallcoza; Gen. Picton's and t3 Gfen. Lightburn's at Pimhel; Gen. Campbell's rrf Mondigo Valley, Gen. Cole's is here: and General. Crawford's is between Almeida and Ciudad Rodrigo ? 2500 Portuguese march in here this day; General Carrera ha matched from Coria to Noves Trias." The Gazette of Saturday contains an account of the capture of the Dutch national corvette Havih.. by his Majesty's schooiirr the Thistle, commanded by Lieutenant Peter Proctor. The prize is a large East India built ship, of very warlike appearance,* and the good conduct and bravery displayed by Lieut. Proctor, his officers and men, in attacking a ship of her size and force and their perseverance under many difficulties deserve the highest praise. PLYMOUTH, MAY 2G.—Came in the Catherine, from Madeira for London, with wine. She brings an account of the fatal wreck of the Mary, M-'Doual, from Glasgow, which vessel ran ashore on a reef of rocks near Teneriffe. The supercargo, a passenge and eleven seamen were drowned. The mas* mate, and remainder of th crew were saved i # l ship's boat. -—
