Detail  At the Hot wells, Bristol, Mr. William Farley, youngest son of Thomas F. esq. of Henwick hall, near Worcester; a meritorious young officer in the service of the East India Company. He was first mate of the Princess Amelia, lately burnt in her homeward bound voyage, but escaped that unfortunate catastrophe, in which a great part of the crew perished. In addition to this calamity he was taken prisoner, on his return home, and carried into France, where the ill treatment he received, joined to the anxiety and fatigue he before experienced, brought on a decline, which ended in his death.
