A very dangerous mutiny lately broke out on board the Fleet at the Cape, but was quelled by the fpirited exertions of General Dundas, the Admiral, and Lord Macartney, aflifted by the military. All the batteries were manned, and upwards of a hundred pieces of cannon were loaded and pointed at the Admiral's hip: the furnaces were heated, and red hot balls were ready to pour into and fink the Tremendous, which was at anchor before the Amfterdam batteries, in cafe the mutireers should refufe to deliver up the delegates, with the ringleaders, and re turn to obedience. A Proclamation was iffued at feven A. M. and only two hours allowed for the mutineers to confider whether they would return to their duty or not. When they found that it was politively determined to fink the fhip, in cafe of a refufal, the signal of fubmiffion was hoifted ten minutes before nine by the Tremendous, as well as all the other hips, and the delegates were given up. Several of them have fince made their exit at the yard arm, and every thing was quiet. LIST OF SHERIFFS APPOINTED BY HIS MAJESTY FOR THE YEAR 1798.
