(Sitilaf &fors•) lA*tali% Wirt this morning received from Lord Gaattass, at Corti sad •likewik from Admiral COlll WA L LIS; Of Man!: their CODICINh have bit Orders are jailed to the fevers! Officers of tie lit- - - pith in the United Kingdom, to ttfe every caution an their power for the procuring of men for the &et. Soch Cfneers in England as are appointed to the Sea Ferteibles on the roan of Ireland, have received orders to repair to their feveiil nations immediately. Notwithllanding the unremitting caution of the Commanders of the Eon Indiamen at fortfinooth, feveral deferters from the King's thins have found their way on hoard them. Admiral Monraoun has fignified his intentions, in cafe of any future difeo. 'cries of this nature, to profs every man ottt of the offending flips. The following Lieutenants have jua been appointed to the Sea Tencibles in Ireland:—Jorin WILLIS, Parsa MASTY, LIADSIY, M. FITZGERALD, A. CH•P. MAW, J. G sssss oars, and L. Ci t aaa. Accounts have been received from Admiral Sir J. T. Ducaworra, which confirm the anion that had taken place between the Acmes, of 36 guns, and the Spaniffi Hoop of war, Urguija. The former had one Officer, and fir (amen and marines killed and wounded; die latter th{ Captain and one Lieutenant wounded, and so fesunen and foldiers killed and wounded. The Lotus was compelled to accom pany the L.Trguijo into Jamaica, being greatly crip pled. By accounts received in town yefierday, from Cey. Inn, we hear, that 399 foldiers, :t7 officers, and feven Civilians, were malfacred at Candy. The Britiffi forces, reduced to a few hundreds, are driven into Tricomale, which is befieged by an,ooo of the Natives; and, unlefs they can make their efcape by fea, or receive timely reinforcements from Madras, it is feared they alto may be in danger of falling into the hands of the cruel and implacable enemy.

An article in a French paper, dated Tranquebar. September 24, contains a grofsly exaggerated, if not wholly unfounded, Ratement of the pr.grefs of the war in India. General Watt. sssss is Rated to have been dthated, on the sth of Angel, between Pponah and Sattaraii, after an atlion of a hours, with the lcfs of 4:oo men, and obliged to make a precipitate retreat front the hfahratta country. It is alto Rated that the Britifh troops 101 l Link teats, baggage, mi. litaty cheft. and to pieces of &ninety, and that Ge- neral Wats.ast.sv was fuppofed to have been made p: ironer, as he was milling when the ha meaner left the camp.

This morning the body of Lord Cawat.voao was removed from his honfe in Park-lane about a quarter paR eight o'clock to St. Ann's Church, Soho, where it arrived R little before nine ; the proceffion went down Oxford-lreet in the following order: Two Mutes on Horfehaek. Eight Men on Horfehaek. 'The Hearfe, with the Body,drawn by flu Hodes. One Mourning Coach and Sir, containing four Mourners, Captain DAME, of the Royal Navy. Mr. 11 d the two Mats.

The corpfe was depofited in a vault under the body of the church. where it will rensain till there is peace. and then be carried to a (mall ifland near Berne, in Switzerland, agreeably to his Lordlliip's defire. The coffin is very elegant, being lined with white Patin, and covered with crimfon Genoa velvet. The plates. handles, and nails are of Giver ; the engraved plate is likewife comp:did of ulcer.

A report is prevalent that Sir SIDNEY SMITH has fuceeeded in defraying a number of Dutch fchuyts in the harbour of Fluffing. The Royal Dragoons have marched from Arundel for Bury St. Edmund's, in Suffolk. A few days ago, a duel was to have been fought between a Mr. M. and a Mr. C. of Shecrnefs; the former Gentleman gave the challenge, in confequence of tome words which had paffed, and the parties weri to have met on Qneenbro' Green; but by the interpofition of the Magißrate, the meeting was pre vented. The Roman Ceafers degraded a Senator for .yawning, while there was a debate: they would have much more abundant matter here, upon which to exercife their *urifdiftion, if they were to peep into our Houfe of Commons during a good long debate. We obferved with concern the highly improper behaviour of the Orchellra of Drury-lane Theatre on Tuefday evening towards part of the audience, whole ideas of dramatic propriety did not accord with their own. We utak we (hall not be compelled to a rope. tition of this remark. The Oratorio at Co►eat Garden Thant Jail night aurae:led a brilliant audience. The houfe overflowed in every part with a mon elegant company. The duet between Mrs. Bitiamovon and BILANAIIe, in the firft pert, *it:loudly encored. Mrs. 13i wierow alto fang Mar's alarm, in etquifite flyle, which drew down thunders of apoaufe. Mill Trait contributed fair Mare to the pleafure of the night. This ele gant 4)ecies of entertainnsent appears to gain every year upon the town. HIG H LAUD Soctar7.—Ycflerday the Highland Society gave a dinner to Earl biome, the Comman der in Chief in the diaria of Scotland, to tally the high fenfe which they entertain of his Lordfhip's vices in that counter... The Marquis of Douos.as was In the Chair, and he was fupported by the Duke of ATHOL, the arls of The and Sea rorre, Lord Kitimat an, and a large phalanx of the Noblemen and Gentlemen of that part of the kingdoM. The day was fpent with that high fpirit of conviviality which always dillinguifhes the meetings of the Scots. The regular malts were given, as ufual, in the Gaelic, ac companied by the national nsufet. The Noble Chairman, in giving the health of Earl Maus, made a short addrels to the gallant and Noble General, expreffive of the high tenfe which that company entet mined of his moll feafonable ex ertions in their native country to rally its refourcea, and to make its courage efalive. Earl Moran, in return to the erithufiathe acclama tions with which hi. health was received, made a fhort but eloquent addrefs, in which he Paid, that his part in the grand and glorious dilplay of fpirit which bad been made in Scotland was truly little. He had in lift had nothing to do but to dire& the fpirit which he found in the country. He had not to (peak to unwilling ears—he had not to enkindle cold or alie nated hearts. His experience of the charafter of his fellow creatures had loon pointed out to him that the grandea energies of the human foul were in the breath of the men with whom he had the honcur to be afrociated, and that he had only to direst, to difciplice and to lead on the courage which be found embodied, or ready to be embodied, at the voice of danger. The dekendants of the Scots who oft ith Wallace bled," who had refilled all the force of the Roman legion., and had kept Scotland uncon quered when all the reit of Europe fell, were nei ther to be contaminated by the principles of the ?tench, nor conquet cd by their arms. He had found the fpirit pea - eel, and the hearts of the people fo difpohd, that he had felt it tn be his duty to Mite to the Com niander in Chief,that in cafe the enemy thould be impudent enough to make a landing in Scotland, lie made it his requeft that none orbit difpnfable force might be fent to Scotland. They were fully equal to the protection of their country without reinforce. ment. He did not venture to fay this in buyith for wardnefs, but on mature reflation. He viewed them with an attentive eye, and he was convinced that he might venture to foretell, that though they might not finvive the confli& of a battle, they would fell their lives at filch a rate as to make it impofilble for the enemy oppofed to them to maintain their po tation in the country a fortnight after they had fought with them. This he fully believed ; and it was a cafe which he mated belonged to every part of his Majetly's dominions ; for it was a maxim with him, that the people who had not courage to defend their Country, did not deferee to be in it. He con cluded with a warm and grateful compliment to the Scots, for the lettering manner in which he had been received there, and winch fh,.nld ever be prefent to his recollabon while the blood P. - need in his veiny.

The Brea fleet has only a complement of men for eleven flips of the line, but the fquadron at Roche fort has its full complement. The tranfports in the harbour can only carry ten thonfand men, but the men of war are fitted oat to carry twelve thoofand more ; and of the aB,OOO men under AVOIRIAU, only az,ooo had received orders on the ad inflant, to hold themfelves in readinefs to embark. The gam fon at Breit and its forts amounts to 8000 men, of whom 3000 are artillery. On board the fquadron at Rochefort are isoot, land troops, and at the Ille of Rite 3000 more are in readinefs to embark. The military, both of the army and navy, are re gularly paid, but the complaints are loud on account of the dearnefs of provilions, and the reverie,' of the fervicc.
