THE EXPEntTIONS. ; An Friday everting the Out ems Hoop of war at.` 'rived at Yarmouth from Stralfund with Mr. &taw; a King's Meffenger, bringing difpatches from Lord CaTmcaat, and alfo from Admiral Gailataa. The oeistss met Admiral E3SINGTOII going ttp the Slieve, with the Second Divifion of the Eipedition. We have to add, that on Satuiday the FLAMM gun brig and a cutter arrived at Yarmouth alfo, with difpatifies from Admiral aussite. • The contents of * dick various difpatates have not yet tranfpired. The latter arrived in town on Saturday evening, and were immediately fent off to the KING* at Windfor, unopened. It is Rated, on the authority of the difirttehes flom Lord CATHCART, that his Seedifh MajeAy is deter. mined to defend Strelfund to the laa extranitY. In the mean time we are enabled to lay before our Readets the following intelligence on the fubjeft of the Eipedition, communicated in the Hull Noe" sifts :-• • NULL, AUGUST ss. a After ottr Paler went to prefs, the Wilberforce, Hotloots arrived here, which Tete' left the Sound on Werfnefday the jth infirm. From her we learn that on Sunday the ad Infant, Admiral Gam atea's Seet;confifting of 54 fail of the line, and five or fix Motet, came in fight of the Sound, and brought to off the Cole ; next morning they arrived in Elfineur Roads, and drew op fn hat of battle, in which po• Aden they were left whin the Wilberforge came away. No holtile operations whatever had taken place, nor was there any likelihood of it. On the fir fl appeay ince of the fleet in the Cattegar, inartiaions were applied for to the Court of Copenhagen, as to the Manner in which the Commander of the Danis for trefs was to iet t and in return he was ordered bot to attempt *Ailing their paging the Sound. The PRINCE OF WALES * Admiral GAtApPR I S flag (hip, fainted the battery as. (he pared, which was returned by the Danes. The populace fterned to be very fa. 'tnably difpofed towards our people. The magni. Lode of the force thus fent into the Baltic, and the extieditidn with which it had been prepared, created much aftonifhment. " Admiral Esstaorow, with eight fail of the line Teveral frigates, (loops of war, tranfports, &c. was lying in the Belt. The Crown Prince of Dia. team was with the army in Holftein ; and the Danes *ere wholly unprepared to offer any refinance. lt was generally fuppofed that our troops would take poffeffion of the Ifland of Zealand; but no Reps to. *girds fuch a meafure had been adopted, when the Wilberforce came away. The Wilberforce puffed a fleet of yo fail of large tranfports off the Anholt, from the Channel, 'full of troops ; alto about so fail of tranfports of the Leffoe, under prole Lion of a 74 gun Chip ; the latter are fuppofed to be that part of the German Legion that i embarked at this place ; likewife paired fame other ftript of the line, frigates, and tranfports, in the Cattegat and Sleeve." Saturday his MAJESTY gave audience at Windfor to Lords HAWISSEURT, CAMDEN, and WESTMORS• LAND; Mr. CANNING, Mr. R. DUNDAS and Sir Jost PH BANKS. A Privy Counc.l was alto held, which lafted till twcl*e o'clock, when his May s STY, and the Qs ass and Pant cams, fet off for Oatlands, to be prefent at the feßivities in commemoration of the Duke of YORK'S Birthday. The Duke of CUMBERLAND was prefent at the Privy Council held at Windfor on Friday morning. It was With great difficulty Miniflers could procure a fufficient number of Privy Councillors. Lord Hawasssuar kept the KING and the Council wait. ing for him before he arrived from London. The Council could not proceed without him, as he had the KING'S Speech, and the Proclamation for pro- roguing the Parliament. The Duke of MANCHESTER is appointed Cover nor of Jamaica, id the room of Sir EYRE Coors. Saturday the LAD Caascst.tott and Lord MEL tiLLa dined with the Duke of CUMSIALAND, at his apartments, in St. James's Palace. The Earl of Pow:, and his fon Lord CLIvE, ar. rived at Dover on Friday evening, in the Commit. timers of the Cußoms' yacht, and failed again nez morning for Ramfgate : the Band of the Shropthire Regiment were on board of the yacht. The following appoiatments took place on Satur day Captain Sir T. WILLIAMS. to the command of the Neptune; Capt. Lofting, to command the Sea Fenrtbks at Portfmonth And Captains Fowtza, Lsu, and HODSON, to tbe•Sea Fen tittles in Ireland. On board the Orazembo, one of the prizes fent into Portfmouth by the Ltvaiy frigate, .Capt. Mac- Limy ' are Come perfons of diiiinaion. It appeared that the Gip was chartered by a Portuguefe merchant at Lifbon, on account of the Dutch government ; that the was cleared out for Macao, but was finally der tined to Batavia, a Dutch fettlement in the Ifland of Java, Eatt Indies. The perfons are Claude Pierre Rouges, a Brigadier-General in the fervice of the Ring of Holland, for Batavia, to be Governor.— Bifchoff, Commiffary at War, a Hollander ; Frazer. Secretary to the Governor ; Franchiver, Captain of Cavalry. Onfenoft, a Surgeon ; Cremen and Frere, for Civil Employments at Batavia, all Hollanders;; De la Cocardiere, a French Gentleman, a particular friend of the Governor of Batavia. There were fe• venal others, befides domeftics. They bad all af• fumed tuitions names, andwere provided with forged pafiports. Mr. GREITHAII, the Atluary, took infi nite labour and pains, in confequence of which he made the above difcovery. General BIRMORD had Rene frf m London purpofely to try to recognize them, _but did not know them. On Saturday Mrs. R. Powst.t., of the Haymarket Thea/re, was found dead in her bed. She played the preceding evening in DIDDIW'S new Comedy. p ripe NIESEIVT We 46 not often venture to. by the refalt of our own oi)fervations before our Readers. Our general plain is to furnifh them withfa& * without partiality and without dillortion, and Thus to enable them to draw their own condwfoar. ' We have an awful duty to perform to the Public. We have a nearer intereft in the (late of affairs ; our private intiVeli, our very ezifteirCe, is at (tale. The latter indeed merges into the former ; we cannot feel for ourfelves, without embracing the fate of our countrymen. The profped is fo unifo►mly gloomy, that we can with difficulty dillinguith the different wades of the darknefs. Yet we will furvey the ken% in hopes of difcovering a few (treats alight. What we had feared is arrived. The genius Of BUONAPAILTI has triumphed. Hiving. by the tor• pedo of his power, lulled Ruffle into a Rate of inac tivity, he will cajole her into a temporary fecurity, by fpecions promifes of mutual advantages, until he has 'obtained the command of the Continent of Eu rope. His Brie (Ned will be to reduce Auntia into a perrea had with Pruffia, Poland, Saxony, Weft t • phalia, and amine ;to unite them in what he will be pleated to Call the Germanic confederacy; to add Swedith Potnetania and Denmark to this league of fobjelted States In force Turkey to become one of the radii of this Imperial circle ; then to declare him. Pelf Emperor of France and Germany, or by Way of firnplificatioo, Est MOIL of the Warr. • It will then be perfealy indifferent to him, with what eye Raffia views his greatnefs. If (be ref As► he will make one tongue( the Rep to another ; and leave the mighty Emperor of all the Raffia' no choice but fubmiffion. With refped to this country, *he malt take more time. The conqueß of Britain is not a paffage of the Valuta. He will proceed by regular Reps. He will Ran the Baltic againt us. This is, we are atured, the price ol hisforbearance refpeaing Riga. That place he pretended to confider as the North Eaftern boun dary of his Empire. We have more than once hinted our 'doubts of the perfeverance of At.sx amnia in an alliance with this country. We know that Buoia- PAST& had fucceeded in detaching Paul. from us by a tempting offer of a (hare of the (pails of Turkey.— Our Readers may recolket that we have hinted the pofilbility of a renewal of a fimilar confederacy. The Hitlorian will remark, that Ruffia has generally finifhed the war on the fide oppofite to that on which the began it. She will 'require from us the admiffion of the neutral claims as the price of a continuance of a commercial connexion. In the mean time itronaraare will increafe his efforts in Ireland. He will profit by our divifions. Our exclufion of the Catholics from places of truft in the army and navy is to him a great point. He fees through the eyes of the clear-lighted Tazbaye RAND, who is completely veiled in the knowledge of human nature. Since the late events refpefling Ire land, he has drawn elder the bands which united him with the Catholics of that country. Even his Bifhops have been enjoined to offer prayers for their fuffering Catholic brethren:lP Ireland. He knows that we refufe to conciliate them, and he thinks that he can make them Cure. But with there co-operating advantages, he cannot invade Ireland without a concurrence of favourable circumftances, which cannot eafily be realized while his maritime inferiority remains. To raife his navy will, therefore, be his great oiled. We commonly hear it laid that in twenty years he cannot rival us.— This is one of thole filly fa)ings, which, once uttered by a man of confident affertionace caught and echoed by the (hallow and the unthinking. With all the harbours of the Continent in his poffeffion, from the Baltic to the Black Sea, with all the forefts in Europe at his command, he may in two years have a fleet equal to ours. Should he obtain the alliance of Ruffia, this will be an eafy achievement. At pre- Cent he may reckon on the fleets of T'orkey, Italy, Spain, Holland, and Denmark. Built is Paid, he cannot form feamen fo Coon as he can equip fleets. This we deny, as a potation equally unfounded as the former. That extent of. coati muft furnifh feamen. They will indeed be of different nations aad (peak different languages. But we will appeal to any officer of a Chip of the line in our fervice, whether be has not often heard every language ex cept Englifh, fpoken on the main deck ? We have hundreds of Frenchmen in our fervice, who are as Ready as Britifh feamen. And may not Bunn...- PARTS by thole means, of which he has fo ample a Rote, obtain that motley, but effeelive flrength ? —Let him but call in his privateers, and he will find a fturdy band of refolute Mariners to man a powerful fleet. Above all, let him make peace with this country, almoft on any terms, and he be comes the Monarch of the lea. But his views are not bounded by the Britifh horizon. Ametica is grafped by his comprehen five ken. We have often mentioned it. He feeds the embers of a difpute between America and Spain refpetling Lonifiana. As loon as he has quieted this country, he will examine the fubjea of the difpnte, and find that the right is on the fide or Spain. He will affill her in the recovery of Loup aria, which he will afterwards receive from her, in exchange for Come part of Portugal. Once eftablifh ed on the back of the American States, he will pour his armies into that Continent, and avoid the errors of Generals BUIGIOTNI ) Hove, and CLINTON. . . And yet, firanke to fay! the Americans are figirt ing his battles, by oppofing our plans of refiflance, and by f'ipplying him *kir the rir'oduce of his co looks. They will rut their folly hereafter ; they will recollea the fate of the neutrality of Auaria and of PtufGa. They will fee themadnefs of encou raging and fecretingleferters from our (hips, and entering into hoflile refolutions againft thufe, whom to defend is to protea themfelves. On a future occa fion we than refume this fubjea ; and throw out fome hints on what we confider to be the ben policy of this country. At prefent we have to remark, that before the failing of the late armament from oar &Reim case, we informed the Public. that its defiination was to prevent the navy of a certain NorthertiPosier from into the hands of the French. In- fa& it is now very generally under flood, that , it is intended to &- cure by means of this armament the Wand of Zes.' land, in which the capital of Denmark is fitnatedi thus preventing the Danith navy from telling into , the hands of NAPOLSON, and preferving the coMaru nication in the Baltic. This meafure of fevorky e which nothing but imperious neceffity, or the invita tion of the Danifls government could juflify; is pet ' hap by this time accomplifhed. BUOMAPAILTI shni tIOCOWIe mailer of the Conti; nental territories of Denmark, and nothing but no anticipation oftis plan could prevent his feiting upon Copenhagen ; or what is the fame, including it in ,the Germanic Confederacy, and thus arming the Sound againß us., One great advantage to us we derive-from the late fucceffes of our foe—that we flail never again hear of Hanover sum relit ution, in the fcale of mutual eeffions. .All parties unite in di: idea: Coaaavv, RUM eAp .Yoa as, the .ifervig Pe and the Moraiq Chronicle. JIMMIE BUONAPARTI • may enjoy it as long as be pleafes ; or rather let us hope that it may . be gives to ; but we hefittite not„to . tached as we are to no party but that of our country, that he, who wifhes to give up the fmalleß fragment of a rock, or the rottea corner of a plank, for the recovery of Hanover in the prefent Ante of the Con- tinent, has not an atom of &kith feeling in his heart ! SPORTING INTRLLIG•ENCE. The races at Brighton afforded but little relilh to the fportfmen. On the IA day a gold cup, given bj his Royal Highnefs the Prince of WaLas, was run for, and won by his Royal Highnefs's horfe Sir David. The company were dillingurthed by rank. Their Royal Highneffes the Prince of WALES and Duke of CLARINCE were prefent. LEWES RACES, FRIDAY, AUGUST 1 4 Hunters* Sweepfiakes of togs. each, four miles, Gentlemen riders. (to Subferibers).

The 2nd Battalion of the 82d Regiment of Foot, or Prince of Wales's Volunteers, commanded by Colonel Grant, eroded the Humber and Marched into Hull Garrifon on Wednefday. This regiment i is one of thole intended to receive Volunteers from the militia, under the New Aft of Parliament about authourizing fuch a proceeding.
