The befieged were nearly delti ute of ammunition and provifions ; every attempt to relieve them had tailed, and further re finance was The terms of the capitula. tion have not vet reached us.

Accounts have been received from la FLEcus, of 28 gun., which a,riv d at Portfmouth on Thurfday, and failed again yetterday, that early on the prefent week the hAd boarded two Ming boats elf Havre, both crews of which agreed in Hating that news had been received at Havre of an firmiiiice having been concluded between the Emperor cf Russte and King of hostile, and the French Errneror, through the Mediation of Auftria, and that the French army a as preparing to re•crots he Rhine.

The two frigates iu Havre were refitting very fart, having top gallantiards acids when we left that place, on Tuef day lA. They were elofely watched by the Naiad, Refinance, fleche, and Emulous." Such is the intelligence communicated by there boats, but it is not entitled to much credit. They could not poffibly have news at Havte, at the time alluded to, of fo recent a date, from the theatre of war, as the accounts received yellerday by the TIIE ARMY. that very tine Regiment the sd (or King's own) Dragoons* who have been a long time quartered in Lincolnihire and Ynrkfhire, are now on their tomb to Chicheßer, in Sam and are in great hopes of 'being employed in the Grand Expedition.

The firipping of forts of every dercription for the grand expedition, is nearly completed ; the embark.s. don of troops will immediately commence, atid part will fail Coon after the arrivals daily expefted from Ireland. Though Many others are talked of, the only Co. touch Who are as yet fettled to have brigades, are . /11T6la de ROTTINBURIGH and DORRIEF. It is but bare juilice to acknowledge, that, among the many fine corps proceeding on the Grand Expe. there it not a finer body than the German Artillery. Perhaps Military Science was never car *Ned to a higher pitch than it is found in the Offi.lers .af this corps. ' The Weamorland Militia iron the return from ' Scotland, where it was much eareffed. • For the two left days, it was reported in the bet in iormed military circle-s, that a force is to be inftantly ' embarked on a defperate fervice, 'soder there gallant Officers, Lieutenant General Sir Joan DOYLE, Bart. sad Brigadiers Baron de Roiesnatraon, Dowse, sad Hououyow.

With pleafure we read it, that the New Adminif tration has not as yet fuperceded any one of the Ge nerals or Almirals appointed by their predeceffors— this is as it thould be. The Swifs regiment Da Metraorr, were this day to embark at Portfmouth.

Yeflerday being the anniverfary of his Royal High nefs the Duke of Curds IRLAND'II Birth-day, it was ob• ferved with every token of loyalty among his Royal Highnefb's trades people at the well end of the town, who exhibited feveral beautiful illuminations at night on the occation. His Majeily's frigate CLYDE has failed for the Elbe, under the command of Commodore Owsw, to receive on board her Royal Highurfs the Duchefs Dowager of BRUNSWICK and her luite, in order to convey them to England. His MAJESTY'S Birth Day has been celebrated in' every quarter with all thofe feflive difplays of inyalty that ufually dillinguilh that aufpicious day. Our columns would not contain the numerous communi• cations that have reached u-, and a felalion would appear partial, and might be deemed invidious. We mull not, however, omit to mention the way in which the Sea Fenciblos., at Weymouth, honoured the day. Their Captain (limas/4) having given them two pounds to drink the Ktsu's health, inllead of fpen. ding the money, they prefented it to the widow of a Tailor, who was lately drowned.—" Go thou and do likewife." The receipts of the Theatre at Plymouth on Wed nefday night, for the benefit of the fufferers by the lase ire at Chudleigh, amounted to 54.1. the whole of whiclr,without any deduCtion whatever, the Managers have devoted to that purpofe. Stu - Tata° ACClDSWr.—Thurfday night, about to :ck, an elderly gentleman, of the name of Mr Ge,rge Lufman, on palling a crol corner of Bond reet, in Piccadilly, was run down by the careleffnefs of a gentlem a n's coachman, who happened to be turn ing cut of Piccadilly into Bond.flreet, they coming in contad with each other, he fell on his face, and b , th wheels went over his body ; he was conveyed to Mr. Grange's houfe near the fpot. Dr. Atkinfon was immediately fent for, who attempted to draw blood, but in vain. The only word the deceafed (poke after he wa, taken up was—" Take me to my lodg ing in Vine Ilreet." It is found out, that he is a Gentleman of conthlerable fortune, a native of Scot land, who had lived for feveral years in the Well Indies, and only returned to this country about three months ago, lodged in Vine tireet, and would have gone to Scotland feveral days pall, only waiting to fee the Di:ll).day ; he gave notice three days ago, that he would on Sunday let off for Scotland. The coach man efcaped with but little obfervation of the fpeda tors that can lead to a dilcovery. He wore a white livery, and two females, apparently fervants, were in the car ria ge. The Hay Maven is commenced around Hamp. (lead, Highgate, Hendon, Etc. and the crops are found every where abundant.

ELIBERS and KRAFT had a very narrow cfcape. A deputation of the inhabitants of the He of France waited on General DICAIN, on the 16th Au gull tail, requelting, that the name of Pokt NORTH West might be changed to Pont NAFOLRON, which General DECARN granted, re mull therefore exped to hear of it in future by that name only.

FLIXDARt, OF THE Rorw. NAter. This Offioer, it will . be remembered, befoie he had completed the objea of his voyage of Difcovery, in his Majefly's !hip INVESTIGATOR, was obliged, by a train of unfortunate difa(ters,•to determine his return to England, in order to obtain another fhip fur the further profecution of his Voyage. He fent his Firft Lieutenant (now Captain) FOWLER. to China, in order to take his pafrage to Europe, in one of the Eaft India CoMpany's fhipr. Thofe who recoiled the memorable defeat of the French fquadron under Admiral Lilo's, by the Hun. Company's fleet, com• manded by Sir Nantes's'. Dares, will recollat the name of Lieut. F.4visa, and the affiflance he ren• tiered un that occafion. Captain FLINDERS, in the Mean time, in order that the fervice on which he was tmployed might be finally accomplifhed, with as great expedition as pof fible determined to return to England, or at leaft to St. Helena, by the rhoft dirat route. With this intention, he purchafed at Port Jackfon, a fmall vefl'el of about zo tons, in which he embarked with Tome of his officers and (hip's campany.—On coming to fea, he found his little bark very leaky, and very unfit for the navigation which he had undertaken in her. When he reached the longitude of the Ifle of France, judging it unfafe to attempt the paffitge of 'he Cape in fuch a boat, he bore away for the French fettlensent. When Captain FLINDERS left Port Jackfon, do accounts had reached that fettlement of the war be tween England and France. But had he known of , the war which now caged, he could not but judge the paffports he had from the French Government, fufficient to procure him proteElion and every poffi ble affifiance. How miferably was he difappointed when on landing and producing his paffpnrts, he was told that there were for the Invefligator, and nut for the little veffel in which he then was. In vain did he thew his journals of the voyage from its corn. mencement, in vain did he expoflulate with the French Governor (Genera! DLCAIN) on the fubjeet ; that the paffpor is were for &title!, in whatever veffel he might happen to be embarked in the ferviee with which he was entrufied, an 4 not for any particular Chip ; in vain did he produce Iris commiffion to (hew that he was a Britifh Officer, and that he was the ;fame Captain Flinders, for whom thole paffports had ' been granted by the French G:vernment.—lt was all +if no avail—pretending to cohlider him as a fpy, he was thrown into piton, until his fate fhould be decided by the Government of France. Upwards of four years have now elapfed fince this valuable officer has thus pined in captivity --log to his country, to his ft iende, and to hirnfelf. He knows not to whom to attribute the negle& which he has foffered. He cannot doubt that our Government has applied to that of France in his favour ; yet he is p:-. fitively Alined by the Governor of •the Mauritius, that no formal or official demand has ever been made for him by the Englith Government. For eighteen months he was a Clore prifoner,'but, on his health de dining, he was removei into the country, where the remains on his parole, to keep within a certain dillance of his habitation. It mull not, however, be concealed, that from the good and hofpitable in habitants of the Ifle of France, he meets with that kindnefs and attention, which a granger, and parti- cularly a captive Englillman, never fails to receive from them.
