Lieutenant Fermat, frets New Sauk Wales, waked re Friday on Lord Coon. at bit nate is Downing-Preet, for the peyote of awing force ar rangemenu for the fitting est hips to carry rattlers and Rotes to that Colony. Advices bale bees received that the Regan fleet, confiaing of ten fail of the line sod Come frigates, were teen the latter end of laa month of the Bland of Bornholm ; but no accounts have yet bees receiv ed of their having patted the Sound. A few days after the attempt of the Brea fleet to get out, the Rochefort fquadron alto put to lea, but obferving one of our cruifers making fignals to Sir Rosser CALDER'S detachment, then in the O&M, •hey immediately put about, crowding all Gil to get back to port. The Batavian fleet does not indicate any intent to go to fea, though fix (hies of the line, three frigates, and three cutters. according to the report of neutrals, are fully equipped, and would be ready to fail at twenty four hours notice. On the 14th intl. 26 new gun boats, and r 6 flat- bottomed boats, arrived at Fl o fit tag from the interior of Holland and from the banks ofthe Rhine. Theta vefels remain there to take on board their artillery and ammunition, and then pro ceed by way of Antwerp along the cyan to Mend. A Pruffian sip from Middleburgh has stored our Noe drop, that moll of the fedora on board thee gun boats and flat bottomed boats had deferted in Holland, hav ing been fent by requilition,_under the efcort of g e n t d'arrees, as far a s f r om Balk in Switzerland to man them. To obtain crews fittficient to carry them to Floating, an embargo had been laid for La hours at Rotterdam, and all (hips without exception, neutrals as well as Dutch, had been obliged to format a cer. tain number of &Hors, upon condition that, upon their arrival in Zealand, they would be permitted to return. This was, however, not the cafe, which rattled a momentary mutiny, in which four men were killed. The accounts brought by an American, of Noss being at the Maw itius on the loth of April, and of his having been coolly received by General Ds Cas a , are totally unfounded. After his fitameful repulfe by our merchant (hips, on the tsth of February, he made the bell of his way to Batavia, where he is known to have been about the middle of March. Wherever he may be, our homeward-bound Bengal fleet, convoyed by the Gs *met's, of so guns, and the Cattocius frigate, have little to apprehend from him. Captain Ft.' m two, of the Egyptienne, (poke an American, who faw a line of battle (hip, two frigates, and a brig, fleecing for the Mauritius in May ; they (hewed Englifh colours, fuel] as they were before the Union, from which, and other eircumflanees, he bad no doubt they were French. In confequence of an affault upon a Lieutenant of the Imptefs, by a man who works at the New Cut upon the River, at Briftol, the latter was left week fecured, and delivered over to the Civil Power. The next day his brother navigators, as they flyle them. ftivez, marched into BMW, to the amount of about 400 men, with the avowed intention of refcuing the imprifoned man. Being, however, unable to effeft this, they feized upon the Lieutenant, and carried him off in triumph, declaring that he fliould work at the Canal, ;tad fupply the place of a digger in the fet to which he belonged. To this club law he was obliged to fubmit ; but the Magiflrates having heard of it, fueh meafures were taken as induced there gcn- demos of the fpade to liberate their prifotter ; one of them has been committed to Ncwgate. RCCIIESVIR, AUGUST so. Yeflertlay his Royal Highnefs the Duke of Vox it, sittended by Generals Sir Davit) DVELIAS, &town two, Hors, and CALVERT ; Colonels UPTON and TAT Lout. arrived at the Crown Inn, for the purpofe of itifpreing the stoops of the line, amountir.g to about flot.)0. The day was highly favourable to the exhibition of the various military evolutions, which the foldiers went through with uncommon dexterity, and highly to the fati I.iBion of the Commander in Chief. Lord CNATNA:4 arrived at E.ochefier on Sa turday. Early in the morning of Sunday ; the Volunteers of Chatham and Roehefier palled over the river on the floating bridge ; but the troops of the l;ne did not cud's. It was determined by the Officers who in fpeeed the bridge s that it would completely anfwer the purpofe of Government in cafe of altual invafion. A large building.calculated to contain to,ooo Rand of arms, is immediately to be ccnitrufted near the Running-blare. on Lower Galley-wood Common, for the fame purpofe as that now ereaing near Hodham. Early on Tuefday morning a detachment of the Guards, under the command of Sir Ws. Setubal, marched from London t o Wi n df or . to d o d uty t h en during the abfence of the Staffordihire Militia, who are gone to do duty at Weymouth during the by of the ROT•L FAMILY. Yeilerday morning the battalion of the Coldllream Regiment of Guards doing duty in London. were infpeaed in Portman Barracks by General &mean., on marching orders, and they are to hold themfelves in readinefe to march in a few hours notice. This day the 3d Regiment was infpeaed by the ' fame General for a fimilar purpofe, in the Bird-cage Walk, St. James's Park; and to-morrow the Fiat Regiment will be infpeaed in Rnightfbridge Barracks for a like purpofe, by the fame General. On Saturday morning the Guards. according to annual cultom, will exchange their quartersin London. On Wednefday evening. Lieutenant General Vyss arrived At Beverley to take die curnssand of that dif tria, in the place of Lord MuLotalli. On Tnefday, the 7th ma. the Perthfhire Regiment of Gentlemen and Yeomanry Ca►alry, unde► the command of the Right Hon. the Earl of KiseouLL; were re►iewed at Montrofe, (where they had been upon duty for fame time) by Major General Mac- Dor ALI), commanding the centre diarid, who was ',leafed to expels himfelf in the higheß terms of ap probation. of the foldier-like appearance of the regi men 4 surd of their evident knowledge of Military ' Taffies. Monday fe'nnight, the Whitby Artillery, under the command of Captain Btonaoce, were Infpeeed by Lieutenant Colonel GIST; immediately after which he infpefted the Whitby Loyal Volunteers corn. usanded by Captain &parson. and the day following the Mnigrave Volunteer Infantry, under Captain Olsson, when the Infpeeing Officer was pleated to ezprefs his high app:obation at the progrefi tbefe re. ipative corps had made in military appearance and difciptine. The Eaftern Battalion of Rnfsfhire Volunteers, commanded by Col. *Lion of Geanies, received their colours on the asth ult. in a field about a mile from the town of Tain, from Mrs. Mild= nf Gee nits. In the evening there was a fplendid ball in die Mafon Lndge of Tejo. They are a fine body of men, confining of boo, commanded by very intelli gent officers. The fecond battalion goes on perma nent duty to Forces, and the third battalion will alto go loon on permanent duty. The tfi and sd battalions of Caiihnets Volunteers have been on permanent duty for 30 days, the for mer at Thurfn, and the latter at Wick. They were twice intpefied during that period by Lieut. Colonel WiLLIA rano, the Field Officer of the difirie, once in the pretence of the Earl of CA ITNN ass, Lord Lieu tenant of the county, and were much applauded for the regularity of their firings, and the promptitude and correfinets with which they performed their va rious maaceuvres and evolutions. On the birth-day of his Royal Highnefs the Passes of Waeas. the 9th Battalion of Referee, quartered at Londonderry, we-e drawn out upon the Garrifon Parade for the purple of receiving their colours from Lieutenant Colonel isaoua, commanding the Regi• ment. The Colonel, on prefentiag them to the re (petlive Officers, delivered a very neat, concife, and appropriate fpeech upon the occafion, after which the battalion fired three excellent vollies ; the mufic playing the animating and popular air of " Goofizeie the KING." The ceremony concluded with three hearty and loyal cheers expreffive of that high admi ration, which every one felt for this Beloved and Blot trious Pape:ca. The Officers of the regiment with a fele& party of their friends dined together, and (pent the day with the utmoll harmony and.conviviality. The Colonels of the two Regiments of London Militia Tome time tune prefented a memorial to the Secretary at War, in wbich they claim the privilege, in common with every other Militia Colonel in the kingdom, of having the excliifive direegion of the re ceiving and doing of all monies conneaed with the dandling of their refpeaive Regiments. This right the Court of Lieutenancy of the City of London had &fumed to theinfelves, in confequence of the claufes in the London Militia Aft, authoriling them to ap point an agent for the two regiments,and to clothe the non-commiffioned officers, drummers. &c. once in two years when am ell/eke/W. Tbis right the memo rialitis therefore contend being fpecified to exilt only when the regiments err cot noltotfied, mull evidently, a owns, imply that, yawn ewlerfwri, the power is to ceafe ; betides that it would be derogatory to the cha raeters of the Colonels of the London Militia Regi ments, and incontinent with the meaning of Parlia ment, ill framing an AIE merely for the purpofe of referving tome local ionosonitia to the City of London, to deptive them of privileges enjoyed by other Mili tia Colonels. In confequetsce of this memori4l, the Secretary at War has delivered it as his opinion. that there are no grounds for exempting the City Militia Regiments when effsboarel. from the effeft of his Majetly's general regulations touching Militia cloathing ; according to which the Colonels receive and a►e refponlible for the application of the cloathing allowances of their refpetlire Regiments.
