It is underflood that pafrports will be fent to the Ruffian Ambafrador as loon as the Council riles. Admiral Sir CHARLKE COTTON was yellerday fent for exprefs, by the Admiralty, from his feat at Ma dingley, in Cambridgefhire. It is (aid he is to have an important command. Notwitl►ltanding the ftutlian Declaration, and the ♦arious fymptoms of a prccrattination of the return of peace, it is alerted with confidence in well infor med circles, that NAPOLION has aaually made an overture to this country, and that hopes are enter• tained of a negotiation being fpeedily entered upon for the attainment of this defirable objea. What truth there may be in the report we cannot ascertain. The intelligence we gave on Thurfday from a re fpedtable Edinburgh Newfpaper, of a Revolution having taken place in Sweden, is, we are happy to fay, unfounded. Nor is there any truth in a report which was alto circulated, of the relations of peace and amity between this country and Sweden being interrupted. The latter report was contradicted yet* terday by the following communication from the Swedifis Envoy to Mr. Gust., the Swedifh Conful: 66 The Swedilh frigate (Freya) proceeds imme diately from Shcernef , to the Note, where fuch week as mean to avail themfelves of her convoy are to affemble before Monday nest, on which day The will fail for Sweden. I have thought it peceffary to'communicate this - to you for your own information, and, in order that it may be made known to all thole whom it may concerti—yqu are not to infer from the failing of this frigate, that there it any apprebeigwn of a rupture between Great Britain and Sweden : on the contrary, the two countries have never been on better terms—Yoh will, therefore, be fo good u to contradia every report of an oppofite nature." The account which mentioned the reported Revo. lution. rived, that Mr. PIIRREPONT left Sweden on the i6th, and related an event pin:- (of courfe) to that date ; 'z.ut the Swedifh Envoy has received let ters of the tpth, which do not contain the flighteß allufion to fuch an event. Indeed, when Mr. Pt eat I PON T left Sweden, the King was at Helfingborg, in perfea health. THE GOTTENBUL(GH MAILS, OF which two have arrived this day, and which left Sweden nn the 34th ult. are alfo ftlent refpeaing any fuch occurrence. On the contrary every thing was tranquil and quiet when the packets failed. Mr, BATHURST, when Mr. PICRREPONT came away, was left as Charge d'Affaires. The following are principal communications re ceived by thefe Mails : EXTRACT OF A LETTER. • " Heillogborg, November 19. " Mr. Lubkins and Mr. Pint, the two Commit . - Caries, left at Copenhagen to liquidate all the Englifh accounts, have been ordered by the Cruwn Pi ince to leave it immediately: almoft two hundred and fifty thoufand dollars remain unpaid ; thefe Gentlemen have arrived here. " The Swedifis Conful at Copenhagen has been arreaed for correfponding with a Captain in the Englith fleet. By way of retaliation, the King of Sweden has ordered the Danith Conful at Malmo to be confined to his houfe. " It is reported here today, that an embargo has been laid in the Ruffian ports, that Ruffia has de clared war agaiaft England, and that the Englith Minitter ( Lord Gower) is upon his way home." GOTTENBURGH, NOV. it. The Hebe armed Chip, with a con , / ay from the Sound ; the Spitfire, and the Snipe gun, brig are in this harbour. COPENHAGEN, NOVEMBER 16. The Ordinance, publilhed fome years ago, by which all foreign privateers are prohibited to carry prizes into a Dani(h port, has been repealed, with regard to fuch (hips as are taken from the Englifh. The report that the Englifh cruisers Rationed in our Road have thrown bombs into the New Holm is unfounded. They now and then fire fome heavy flints, but they have hitherto done but little tnifchief to our batterim ELS;NEUR, NOV. t 6. The Englifh Minilter, Mr. Pierrepont, has taken taken his departure from Heliingborg, and the Eng. lifh Conful Fenwick, who refided in this place, is on the point of following him to England. _ On the 15th inllant a heavy cannonade took place near Kalleboarand. Two Englifh brigs made' an attempt to cut out two prizes, which were lying in the harbour, bot were rep.rifed with confiderable.tols. BANKS OF THE MAIN, NOV. 7. Letters from Pete[(burgh advife that the Grand Duke ConQantine intends to fet out for Paris, being invited thither by the French Emperor. They write from Vienna that a Convention has been concluded between the Impetial Courts of France and ours, according to which Auftria cedes the territory of Gorz and Gradifca, as far as the Ifonz , , to the Kingdom of Italf ; and keeps, on the other hand, the futrefs of Brannan. The loth of November is fixed upon for the ratification of this Convention. HAGUE, NOVEMBER 7. The Fret.ch privateer le Rodeux, of Calais, has captured and carried into °fiend an Englifh tranf port, laden with timber, bound from Copenhagen to London. The fame privateer took an Englifh (hip bound from Peterfburgh to the fame place, laden with tallow, potafh, and linfeed, but an Englifh cut ter heaving in fight, the privateer ran for filcher into the roads of Brouverfhagen, but fuck a ground at the entrance of the road, and a form coming on, fhe was dallied to pieces. Two pilots, ten French men, ten Engliftmen, and three pafrengers perifhed on this melancholy occafion. MADRID, OCTOBER 17. Although the Proclamation which the Prince Re. gent of Portugal has ordered to be publinted, fill affords forne hopes of peace, yet every thing airlines a warlike appearance in this country. The French and Spanifh Ambaffadors who left Lifbon are not arrived here, but reticle at Badajoz, where it feems they continue the negotiations with the Court of Lifbon. OCTOBER 22. It appears that the French troops, who march into Portugal, are to occupy the North, and the Spanilh troops the South of that Kingdom. An army of 30,000 men will be affembled near Badajoz. The Spanifh army was never fo firong as at piefent, and the Pahce of the Peace pays the utmoll attention to the heft poffible organization of the troops; nor is the marine department any ways neglefted ; and we flatter ourfelves that the Simi& navy !hall, 'ere long, have repaired the loffes which it has fuftained. The Court will reward, in molt diflinguifhed 'manner, the eminent fervices which General Linicrs has rendered to Spain. 'MUTE, oCTOBER aft. The French troops who were hitherto flationed at lOria, and the whole country of Venice, are nearly all *in motion to proceed to Dalmatia by' forced marches. SPAIN. ti It we rentday eonfilently reported on 'Change, that intelligence was received in town from Spain, Rating Tome of the refults naturally to be expelled from the confpiracy formed by the Patios OF THE Peace and his partizans againft all thole who are obnoxious to his views. Some of thofe who were the principal objefls of this tyrant's jealoufy, are laid to have been already beheaded. Among them are mentioned the Duke de MEDINA CELT, the Duke de l'lnrattrano, and the Marquis de las AMIRALLAS. The former has uniformly been confidered as the Premier Grandee in Spain, and the richell landed proprietor in the country. His family have, indeed, pretenfions to the Spanifh Crown, and have been always underftood to enter their proteft at each coro nation. in order to referee their right. Perhaps there pretentions, combined with the known power and linfluence of this nobleman,who could raife 40,000 men on his own eflates, have formed the principal ratite of his executioner's jealoufy. The Duke de PINFANTADO and the Marquis de les AMIRALLAS were an pof felled of great property and influence. Both were General Officers in the Spanifh Army, and had Sc. rinired jolt difinelion by their ar.d valour in Ca. talonia during the war againft revolutionary France. They were of courfe likely to be formidable enemies, and therefore they may have been fet ;fide. The Duke de l'ltiresrano was quite in the vigour of youth, and generally known to pollees a very ener getic and enterprifing mind, animated by the pima patriotifm. Such a man, avowedly hoftile to the Paws or rite Peace, was not, for his purport, fit to live. Although we could not trace this report to any authentic Cotner, fill the lamentable events to which it alludes are perfealy probable. The fource from which it profeffed to proceed was a letter from 131 i Rol, at which a veffel had jua arrived from a Spanifh port. This letter cifo fates, that " the PRINCE RECENT, finding that he cannot appeafe Bomaraerr, has de termined to follow the wifhes of this country, and to proceed with his Family, to the Brazils." Such are the words of the letter. It was alfo reported yefterday, that BERTHIER is at Madrid, and that the firft column of the Fier.ch Army had reached Liffion. PORTUGAL. Letters from Portugal have been received to the tzth ult. which announce, that on the night of the I tth a Council was held at Lilbon, at which it was refolved to refcind all the Edias and Proclamations which had been iWued againft England. It was underflood that thole proceedings, which had now• rioufly no other aim than to mitigate the anger of BONAPARTY, and purchafe by fubmitlion and obedi- ence his forgi vend's, had failed to produce the defired effeet. On the contrary, the French army was ex petted to crofs the frontiers of Portugal on the s ith ult. and the report is again renewed, that every kind of preparation was making for the embarkation of the Court. Such is the intelligence we have received through a refpcdtable mercantile connellion. We do not pledge ourfelves for its truth ; but we mutt obfetve, that it is rendered not improbable by the information fo frequently alluded to, contained in the Mssiteur• If Bormature has ever uttered the fatal fentence againfi the Royal Family of Portugal which was imputed to him, we do not think it likely that the PRINCE Ittoswr will ever, by any future aa of fubmiflion, be able to appeafe him for the Ids of the Britilh pro perty. The Ruffian 'fleet is faid to be moored actofs the Tagus; but their late engagement with the Turks give us no great idea of their prowefs. Might we hope that it would prove a prize, in its moorings, to the refolution of the Portuguefe, quitting their native land ? If the Panics REG stir be reduced to the ne ceffity of taking fo defperate a meafure, as to aban don his European dominions, and of throw:ig himfelf at once upon the juflice and generofity of this country, be would hardly negled lo fair an op. portunity of bringing a rich prefent in his hands.— The bride is doubly welcome that brings a rich dowry into the manfion of her hufband. A veffel has arrived from Caen, from which place (he has brought letters to the tft inR. At that date no meafure had been adopted againft the American chips in the French Ports; but an order for their con fikation, it is Paid, was every moment expelled. It is reported that BONAPARTE has made tome frefh demands on the KING of Prussia. He requires, it is Paid, to be immediately fupplied with 5,000,000 of dollars, and to garrifon eight of the firongeft PrulEan fortre fres until the cooclufion of the war. Difpatches were received yefterday at the Admi. miralty from Lord GARDNER. They are dated the 27th ult. off Ufhant, at which time the Channel Sect wore all well.; The produce of the Income Tax for the current year, which was eftimated in the Budget at Eleven Millions and a Half, will, it is laid, amount io the enormous fum of FOURTRIDI btILLIONS FOUR HUMS Dian THOUSAND POUNDS! Lord Iducoaays entertained all the Cabinet Mi sifters, now in town, at dinner yefterdayaat the Admiralty. The Duke of COMIIIRLAUD gave a Grand Military Dinner yefterday, at his apartments in dr Stable St. James's. • 7 THE ARMY.

On-Puef day they attended the Duke of You's public day. at his office in the Horfe Guards; and had audiences of his Royal Highnels. Lieutenant M— of the gth Regiment of Native Infantry of India, was tried at the Bombay Seffions in Aptil Lail, on an indidment upon the Statute; lot having wilfully and malicioufly firci a piftal loaded with (mall (hot at Captain Maims. It appeared in evidence, that the Officers of the tit battalion of the gth Regiment gave a dinner to thole of the sth, at the Mels Room at Poonah, at which the prifoner was prefent. The prifoner, in cunfequence of repeatedly interrupting the company, was at length turned out of the room. He afterwards returned with a drawn (word, which was wrefled from him, and he was a fecond time turned out. He again returned with pitlols, one of which he fired, and wounded Captain Martin (who was thereby deprived of his fight), and three other Officers. The prifoner de livered in a long written defence, which was read by his Counfel, and the purport of which was, that he wax fo much intoxicated at the time as to be entirely unconfci ,, us of what he was doing, and that he had no malicious intention. The Recorder (Sir J. MACE. taros's) fummed up the evidence, and pointed out the bearing of the cafe to the Jury, who, after retiring for about an hour and a half, returned a verdid of guilty; but firongly recommended the prifoner to mercy. Some points of law were after. wards refereed for the opinion of the Judges in India. La( night, about eight o'clock; the houfe of Lady CLia taws; in Berkeley fquare, was ditkovered to be on fire. It broke out at the back part of the houfe, on she attics, and at firft teemed to threaten the whole premifes with dellration. However, by the aeive exertions of the firemen, it was got com pletely under before eleven o'clock, though not till the attics were entirely deflroyetl,, alai the roof had fallen in, and the valuable furniture and other parts of the houfe much damaged. The fquare was fhortly filled with engines ; but the fupply of water was at firft very fcanty. Lady CUIRMONT was at home at the time it happesed, and it was not without difficulty that her Ladyfitip could be induced to accompany -tier filler, the Countefs of ROSSMORS, who had been dining with her, to her houfe in Bolton•flreet, which her Ladytbip complied with, after having packed up her jewels and wardrcbe. Great apprehenfions were at firft entertained for the fafety of the houfe of the Earl of Powts, on the left, and SilJoux Haaatuo von's, on the right ; bat the damage futlained was confined to the floor where the fire Rift broke out.— Much praife is due to the Volunteers of St. Jagses's, Mary-la bonne, and St. George's, for the allikace which they rendered on the occafion.
