. A. very ihort lime muff decide the line of condua :to bi followed by the PRINCE RECFN r. The pretence Britifh force (and there on4ht to have been one :N-:re long before this time) may give a new face to affairs inttiat quarter; and we may Coon exped to hear of Sir SI DNEY SMITH'S fquadr on being off the Tagus. Advice has already arrived of his having patted our Cquadron off Ferrol on the 14th inftant, and if the wind continued in the fame favourable Rate as it had hitherto been, there was every likelihood of his reach :ng the Tagus by the 16th at fartheß. The follow, ing is an extra of a letter from on board the flag Drip of the gallant Admiral:- 1k His Majefty's Ship London, Nov. Ls, tat. 43.10ng 8. 30. et I save but a moment to inform you, that we have proceeded thus far on our Expedition, with favourable winds and uncommon „spatial,. We are Rill ignorast of our deftination ; the Admi ral is acting under fealed orders, which are not to be opened till :le gets further to the Southward. We expedt to be joined ►y the 3i' crnia and tome other t►ips from England. Our force at Fulcra coons of the London, of 98 guns, Monarch,•Marlborough, Eli zabuh, ilia Bedford, of 74. We believe the Tagus 'to be our place of deftination—if fo, and the wind holds, we than be there to-morrow.” Difpatches have alto been received at the Admi ralty from our fleet off Ferrol. which, betides the above faEl, announce that the enemy were very aftive to that port, and (even fail of the line appeared to be ready for tea. This intelligence, combined with that which we Rated on Saturday, of the Cadiz fleet hay ing alfo manifefled an inclination to put to lea, ren ders it highly probable that the enemy till thurtly make an effort to effat an union of the fquadrons in their teveral ports. A GOTTENBURGH MAIL Arrived yefterday, as did alto Dutch and French Papers. If we may credit the accounts by the Mail, Sweden has concluded an armiftice with France, which extends to the la of April ; and, in the mean time, General BRUN a is to proceed to Helfingberg, to treat of Peace with the Plenipotentiaries of his SWEDISH MA3KSTY. It is added, that Mr. PIERRE. ?owe, the Britifh Minifter to the Court of Stock holm, is about to return to England. there is fomething fufpicious, however, in this statement. It is more probable that loch intelligence, if true, would have come, dire from Sweden ; be tides, it is hardly credible that BRUNR would be fixed on for loch a negociation. During the former short attempt at a perfonal negociation between the Kinc and BRUNE, the Marfhal affeCted to feel pkonally affronted by his Majetty, and certainly much bitternefs arofe bet ween them. A letter from Vienna Rates, that there are Rill (Arne differences to adjult between the Auflrian and French Courts, and that the latter requires the forlisei to shut her ports againß England. This we fuppofe is by this time done ; but yet Braiinau has been again re victualled. and the French itt not likely to evacuate Aultrian Friuli as loon as was expefted. We do not believe that BONAPARTE Vibe eafily induced to give up there two important lations, both of which afford an eafy pafrage to Vienna' at any time ; and the retention of the latter may, Moreover, be neceffary frt. the final fettlement of Wallachia and Moldavia. ORDERS IN COUNCIL. The Gazette of Saturday contains fix orders of Council of great importance. They are fopplemen tary to the Order of the i ith inftant, by which the enemy's corals were made fubjeft. to the reltriEtions of a Elate of blockade. Thefe orders fix the perirds at which information of the Order of the t ith (hall be held to have been received in the differeat pans of the world enumerated, and include a variety of de tails connefted with the execution of the great mea fare of retaliation, which Government have deter. mined to enforce. Portugal and ?ruin are for the prefent adMitted into the number of neutral posiers ; and by the two tali Orders his MAJESTY IS pleated, in confequtnce of the circumflances under which Pruffia, Lubeck, and Portugal have been bompelled flint their ports, to order the retlitution of chips *longing to thefe States which have already been !stained. •ROYAL HUNT.—On Tucfclay his Majefly's Rag mends were bunted by the Marquis CORNWALLIS, ed a numerous field of gentlemen fportfmen.

' The following is the opinion of the ATTORIM, JINERAL relative to the exemptions of volunteers tom the militia ballot : " That all volunteers were able to the ballot, and that thole only are now ex- QIN that were efredliv.: previous to the t a.of Auguft aL Thofe perfons oho have entered fince that Noe, and have aifo attended drills and mufiers for the required number of days, will be included is the cember returns, and then will only be entitled to 'captions as long as they continue eircaive ; but if ey withdraw thentfelves, are diftharged, or become nn effeeives by any Means, they will become liable a their turn to be drawn, to fill up the v.icancics 'it may happen in their refpcaive parifhes."

INDlA.—Recent accounts fro:n India (late, that a mutiny had broken out in the 22d regiment in Ben gal, in confequence, as• rumoured, of fame delay in, the payment of the troops, and a con fi derable advance having taken pace in the price of fpirits. A large portion of the regiment are Rated to have appeared in a body before the Commanding Officer,to demand redrefs. The latter pointtd out to them the imrof ability of his attending to an application made in fo improper a manner, but this not having the cleared deft, he collefted a corps of cavalry, and fome native troops, who compelled the mutineers to lay down their arms. At the date of the lail difpataes fome of the ringleaders had bees punifhed, and dif cipline and tranquillity had been reflored. Letters from Madras Rate fome further particu lars refpeEting the difpute which had arifen between one of the judges of the Supreme Court and the local Government.

Oa Friday, the will of the late ABRAHAM Naw. LaND, ail. was prove .1 at Doflors' Commons * the duty of which, under the Legacy AO, amounted to 14001. Saturday the remains of the abnve worthy and re fireelable cigarafter were depofited in the church yard of St. Saviour's, in the Borough, the parifh in which he was born. About eleven o'clock the fultrAl procetlion moved from his houfe in Highbury Place, and was joined on the way by feveral carriages. It paired the Bank at two o'clock in the following order: Two Bank Pont rs Ten Pedals in deep mourning on horfebaek Plaine of Feathers The Heade. containing the Body Six Mourning Coaches His Private Carifige A number of Gentlemen's Carriages The Heade was drove by the Coachman of the deceafed.

SKAITING ON THE SERPENTINE Rivart.—ln con fequence of the flight froll which has prevailed during the laft two days, a crowd colle&ed in Hyde Pack yetlerday for the purpofe of &Ailing. The ice in the Serpentine River was not more than two inches thick; notwithßanding, about fifty perfons, men and boys, were imprudent enough to venture upon it. About eleven o'clock the ice gave way, at a fit rt diftance from the fhore, and two boys (one about twelve years of age, and the other fourteen) were plunged into the water. A - rope was immediately trifle:fled to one of the Park forms, which was (roved along the ice to the place where the unfortunate youths were (hug gling. A man, who was molt active in affording them aid, was himfelf precipitated into the water near them. He did not attempt to extricate himfelf, but molt humanely endeavoured to relieve the boys, who were Rill feen above water. He fucceeded in getting out the eldctt boy, but the other funk. The man and the eldea boy, when they reached the (bore, were completely exhaufted with fatigue and cold, particularly the latter, who was with difficulty re ltored to lite, after being put into a warm bed. Great exertions were next made to get the boat, which was frozen up, to the fpot where the boys fell in, to fearch for the body of the one that had funk. It was pall one o'clock before it could be got to the fpot. The third time the drag was thrown in, the body was found, The attempts to re fore it to life were deemed fruit lefs ; it was therefore taken to the boat bottle to be owned. It has been determined for the future to place pro. per officers at the Serpentine River, to prevent fkait ing, except •when the ice is deemed of rue . ..jet - A tlrength to all nu it. Early '.n 'fuefdAy rncrning, a fire broke out in Mr. M'CRoNE's Cale-rooms, High•lirect, Glafgow. Che dausge is vinfiderable, from the quantity of {ands aad hooks deitroyed. The flames were, how ever, wli Ily cotifirted to one of the front rooms.
