The fortifications are in a very forward state, and every thing indicates that we are determined if possible to retain possession of the Island. Yesterday the corps of detachments under the com mand of the Hon. Colonel COCHRANE, marched from Fort Cumberland, Portsmoiith, to Portchester.

The Commander of the Forces having received his Majesty's command to return with the greatest part of the troops' to England, cannot suffer this army to be separated without expressing the high sense of the exetispiary conduct and di s cipli ne observed by the troops he has had the honour to command, and his conviction that had circumstances permitted of further operations, he should not have been disappointed in his confident expectations, arising out of the experi ence of that valour and intrepidity at all times cha- 1 racteristic of British troops, of which the army has upon so many former occasions given the most dis tinguished proofs.—The Commander of the Forces acknowledges, with equal and sincere satisfaction, the able support he has uniformly received from Lieute nant-General Sir EYRE COOTE, the several General and other Officers in command. But his Excellency feels he should not be doing justice to the unremitting exertions and abilities of Lieutenant-General BROWN IMO, Quarter-Master General, were he to omit this public occasion of expressing his most entireupproba tion of his conduct, and offering to him his acknow ledgments for the very eminent assistance he has on all occasions derived from his able and judicious ar rangerrents. Much credit is also due io Lieutenant- Colonel LONG, Adjutant-General, for the able man- ner in which he has conducted the duties of his de partment, and his Excellency begs he will accept his thanks for Cie zealous and active assistance he has at all times afforded him.—His Excellency desires to express his sense of the intelligence and ability with which Brigadier-General SONTAG has executed the delicate and arduous duties entrusted to him. He has also every reason to be perfectly satisfied with the ef ficient manner in which the duties of the Commissa riat department have been conducted by Mr. Com missary -General RosiNSON.—His Excellency laments sincerely the prevailing indisposition of so consider ab:e a portion of the troops ; but he confidently che rishes the hope that the evil which arises from the climate at this particular season of the year will be but of short duration, and that its effects will.be ma terially and daily diminished, by a continuance of that unremitting zeal and attention which have distin guished the Officers of the Medical department, under the able guidance cf Mr. WEBB, Inspector cf Hospi-, tals, and by that further relief in medical and other assistance which has been urgently applied for, and may be shortly expected from England. Yesterday morning, Lord CAMIXEN arrived atWind sor, and had an audience of his MAJESTY. Tuesday, Lord COCHRANE arrived at Canterbury, on a visit to his father, Lord DUNDONALH. Friday last, JOHN 13AKER, Esq. was chosen Mayor of Queenborough, for the year ensuing. Saturday last, HENRY WREIGHT, Esq. was chosen Mayor of Faversham, for the year ensuing. Yest:rday morning his MAJESTY, Princesses An ousTA and SOPLHA, accompanied by Lord CAMDEN, Lady ELY, General Frrzaov, and Colonel TAvLca, rode in Windsor Great Park, and returned at twelve o'clock. Wednesday evening, between seven and eight o'clock, a man, genteelly dressed and well mounted, rode up tr) the residence of Mr. Baverstock, near Wimbledon, where after alighting from his horse, he inquired of a servant girl if either her master or mis tress was at home ? and being informed they were that day gone to Croydon, he, under pretence of be ing an acquaintance of theirs, dtsired he might leave a few lines for them relative I 0 particular business.— The girl from his polite behavour and gentlemanlike appearance, did not hesitate to shear him into the parlour, where he had not been many minutes bef)re he complained of being taken very unwell, and wished to know if she could accommodate him with a little liquor of any kind, and finding that she could not procure it in any other way than by getting it from a public house nearly adjoining, he readily gave her a crown piece for that purpose. Whilst she was gone, however, he mounted his horse and rode off with a silver tea-urn and half a dozen silver table spoons which were on the sideboard. On Wednesday evening, a*poor young woman 1 - most naked, with a child in her arms in the same condition, was detected stealing a loaf of bread from a baker's shop in Pimlico ; on being discovered, she dropped on her knees, praying forgiveness, declaring that neither of them had eaten any thing that day. The wife of the baker then went with her to her lodgings, where being well convinced of her extreme distress, she not only pardoned the offence, but al lowed her to take the loaf; to which she added ano ther for her child, and oillered her to call once a week for a similar allowance, with a caution never to be guilty of stealing again. The Bank have lately had £lOO,OOO worth of Spa nish dollars new stamped, at BOLTON and Co.'s manu factory, at Birmingham. The charge for stamping is only one farthing each.

The Jane, of Leith, Capt.TayLon, arrived in Leith Roads on Tuesday last, from Gottenburgh, which she left on the 18th ult. The Captain reports, that there was a rumour of peace with Russia on the 16th; hut the Russians having insisted on shutting the Swe di)h ports against this country, it was said that Swe den had ref used upon these terms. Upon the 17th there was intelligence of a battle having been fought be;.wixt the Swedes and Russians, in which the Swedes were successful. About 200 sail of ship/ came down the Baltic upon the 18th, laden with cargoes for Bri tish ports.. The Morning Star cartel arrived at Plymouth on Wednesday, with four poor women and two children, late prisoners in France. They had a tedious march from the interior to the sea coast, ►of 700 miles, and were in very great distress. The four missing ...hips of the last homeward-bound East-India fleet not having arrived, nor any accounts to be relied on respecting them, great fears are to be entertained for the safety of most, if not all of them ; tfe whole fleet having been exposed to a most tremen dous hurricane in the latitude of the Mauritius, in which many ofthe shi p which afterwards arrived were for some titre in a most perilous situation, some of them having been upset by the violence of the wind, but fortunately righted again. The Calcutta, one of the missing ships, had been seen in the greatest distress, all her masts gone, having broached-to, and the sea making a fairbreach. —The Lady Jane Dundas, another of the missing ships, had experienced, as was supposed, considerable damage in India, having been ashore for some time in the Coringa Bay. We understand, that on board the Lady Jane Dundas were embarked Gen. MiDow- A Lt., late Commander in Chief on the Madras Esta blishment, Lieutenant Colonel CAPPER, late Adjutant General, and Major Bates. Assistant Adjutant Ge neral, all of whom had been suspended from their situations by the Governor of Madras at the com mencement of the late disputes between that Govern ment and the military. Many persons have partook of Thirty, Twenty, and Ten Thousand Pound Prizes, &c. at HORNSBY and Co.'s Offices ; but this year the adventurers may reap the fruits of their chances in au improved way, by participating of Eighty, Sixty, and Forty Thousand Pound Prizes, &c. and that in the course of a few hours. This novel mode of Drawing the Lottery is sane tinned and supported by those who were inimical to Lotteries, because it has a beneficial effect to pro mote the real purchasers' chance, and prevont all illi cit undertakings. The demand for Tickets and Shares increases daily, - at the old established State turf Ofikei of HORNSBY and Co. 26, Cornlrill, and St. Margaret's Hill, Borough. • SPORTING iIVTtLLIOtiVai NEWMARKET *um. ocroitut ittEirrbto—noi: RIDAY, OCTOBER O.

The following ballad was sweetly sung by Miss CHEESE—the ‘vords by Mr. I'ROTTER Once the harp thro' the valliei of Erin resounded, Erin ma vourneen, Erin go brash ! The shamrock and laurel luxuriantly cronn'd it, Erin ma vourneen, oke.

COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. . This Theatre exhibited last night the usual scene of riot and confusion. In the beginning of the even. ity4 the house was rather thin; but on the raising of the lights, the uproar partially commenced, and con. tinued to increase as it became• more crowded, until at length the din became intolerable. The pit, as usual, was chiefly intnikreittai in the performance ; and as they handed their placards up to the boxes for exhibition, the latter for a time bore their full pro portion in the uproar, in consequence of some refus ing to receive them, and others tearing them as soon as they got them into their possession. This was the signal for the division of the two parties ; and pugilistic c6ntests ensued by way of varying the amusements of the evening. Every thing, in short, was attended to except the performance. We noticed the following inscriptions : BewaYe of any disloyal allusions to mislead the public opinion.' " To be or not to be—old prices or new—that is the question." " Mr. &tome, " Lower your price; for no erasion " Will suit JOHN Butt on this occasion." 44 ci per cent. for six years !!! " A Ik, an odious damned lie! " Upon lily s'ul, a lie, a wicked lie ! " 0, John Bull,. John Bull, John Bull. 11 thou bast nature in thee, hear it not." " No garbled Ettracts." " The present entertainments having been received with un bounded applause, by a brilliant audience, they willte repeated every evening till further notice." All the performers were assailed on their entrance with violent h'sses, groans, rattles, bells, &c. which continued during their appearance on the stage. The only difference which we noticed between this and t .e preceding evenings was, that, on the dropping cf curtain, the audience in the Pit did not sit down, ,s usual, to rest, but, by way of variety, cuffed h other until it rose again. Then, however, Ii e iie ancient Romans, they laid aside their internal disp es to unite against the common enemy ; and the unf r-- tunate performers had to sustain the increased imfteta of their resentment. The perfoimance concluded as usual at ten o'clock, and the house was cleared as usual at about eleven. There was no speechifying on - the part of the audi ence, and Mr. KE,MBLE did not appear: the whole evening. At no period of the evening did the Manar at; tempt to come forward to address the audience: The noise we think was actually greater than on any pre ceding night, bur perhaps it was increased by the strenuous efforts made by the Managers' friends to .subdue it. During the scuffle, last night, in the pit of Covent Garden Theatre, two persons were forced against the spikes of the orchestra, and much hurt. One of them, a fine young man, about 19 years of age, son of Mr. Lorimer, silk-dyer, in the Strand, received two wounds on the back of his thigh from two spikes, which entered several inches. He was with great difficulty brought out of the place, and carried home in a coach to his father's house, where he was atten ded by Dr. Stanton, of the Strand. The wounds are very serious, and the young man was in great agony last night. The other person wag wounded by spikes in the back. A Turkish merchant sat in the front Boxes in the habit of • is country. It was his'first visit to the British Theatre, and he expressed the most striking - astonish. ment to his interpreter at the rude conduct and inan net s of the English Assembly.. We hope the interpreter explained the cause of the uproar, or the report of our dramatic exhibitions will not add to oar reputation at Constantinople. The Mussulman was finally compelled to quit his seat and retire to a sofa In the saloon. After the play ended, a calm succeeded, not unlike the murmur which prevails at the last gust of a violent tornado. • This was, however, but a prelUde to a continuation of the tempest. Whe n t h e F arce commenced, th e tumult prevailed :ant intermission, until the curtain drcpped. A person who was exceedingly violent in the p7t at Covent-garden Theatre, last night, held his horn to his mouth with one h Ind, wnilst with the other he was observed to cut the covering of the bench with a • pen-knife. /1 ' i • , !
