Regiment of Light Infantry Arrives In England From Newcastle
Birmingham reports that the first division of Col Craufurd's Regiment of Light Infantry arrived from Newcastle on their way to Plymouth. News from Newcastle says a British ship and a cutter pursued a French privateer off the Norway coast. A Sunderland vessel was ransomed after a French privateer captured it off Scarborough. A large fleet of merchantmen is fitting out for Petersburgh and other Baltic ports. Joshua Douglas, a noted attorney and former town clerk, died after a lingering illness, leaving about one hundred thousand pounds to his son-in-law Sir Thomas Clavering. A huge salmon weighing 54 pounds was caught in the River Tyne and sold locally.
