The poor inhabitants art in the greatest distress s the reports of oar deserting and leaving them to to mercy of the French, after the Marked partiality vhich they sheaved to the English Government, on those good faith and ability they relied for keeping tit Sovereignty of the Island." ANOTHER LETTER, SAME DATE. " Very tl.ing here has a very sombre appearance. English are preparing with all possible speed to racuate the Island ; and in the space of fourteen no's there will not be an Englishman to be seen. The sferps which arrived here a few days ago from Eng- N had the appearance as if it was intended to de !'.d the Island ; but no positive information could be rocured from the Commander as to the intentions of Cie Executive Government : but now we have ascer tined the fact, and there is nothing left but to ship incrAiately all the remaining goods for England. A c:77 has just arrived. but the cargoes are not sul ked to be landed, and are to remain on bard the sips, and to return to England. " For ten days past every one has been upon the irt. The outer sluices have been broken down, but de inner ones still remain to prevent the salt want fen inundating the town. For some days we have ben embarking all the stores, heavy and brass guns fnn the ramparts.

This morning we received two Gottenburgh mails : their contents, in a political point of view, are unim portant: GOTTENBURGH, NOV. 20. General d'Adlersparre, who left this place on Tuesday last, has taken a circuitous route to Jonko ping, where he is to assist in the arrangements for a Peace between Sweden and Denmark—from thence he will proceed to the frontiers of Norway, to meet the Prince Augusteinburg, whom he will accompany to this place, where the l'rince is expected to make some further arrangements respecting his succession to tke throne of Sweden. STOCKHOLM, N0V.91. According to the last accounts from Abo, the new Council of Regency established in that place for the Administration of the Grand Duchy of Finland, ceded to Russia by the last treaty of peace, has en tered upon its functions, JONKOPING, NOV. 18.

Intelligence has been received from Lithuania that the important town of Minsk has been totally destroy ed by fire; and that besides considerable damage has been done in that country by hail -stones, some of which weighed lbs. The Princess AMELIA is rather better. GENERAL MORRISON.--A considerable degree of apprehension has been excited for the fate of General MORRISON, who was sent as Commander in Chief at Jamaica. He has been said to be lost, because the LITTLE BELT, which is reported to have foundered, was said to have him on board. But he sailed in the NIORE, Captain LORING, on the Ist of September.— But as report was spread that the ship which carried the General had foundered, it was concluded that the NIOBE was lost, but without any probability, though the circumstance has produced much anxiety in the minds of those who bad friends in the ,Ntoar. We mention this to clear the subject, and trace the foun dation of the report. Bow-srmr.—Thomas Daly, the watchman of St. Mary le Strand, who is charged with being concerned with another man, in seducing Caroline Wilcox, when going by the Liverpool coach, from the Golden Cross inn, into St. Giles's, and robbing her of a bundle, con taining upwards of W2OO and her clothes, was yester day brought to this office, for further examination. Caroline Wilcox described her situation as before detailed—she was on board the Beagle at the attack on the French fleet in Basque Roads, and was also on board her at the capture of Flushing, when she re ceived a wound in her ancle from a grape shot. Abraham James, the ostler at the Golden Cross, Charing-cross, said, that he remembered calling the prosecutrix, Caroline Wilcox, on Sunday morning week, about six o'clock, from the door of the Coach and horses public house, St. Martin's-lane, in conse quence of the Liverpool coach being nearly re ady to start, and knowing she was goin g by it—the coach waited abc,ut ten minutes for her. Martha, the wife of Edward Brown, of the Black- Dog public house, Drury-lane, said, she recollected the prisoner, together with several other watchmen, coming to her house on Sunday morning week, be. twe'm six and seven o'clock—they had three half pints of gin, but would only pay for two, and left the house without paying. She said no woman came into the house with them. The prosecntrix explained this, by acknowledging she did not go into the house, but remained on the outside of the door, and got some milk of a woman who was passing at the time. Benjamin Potter, the servant of Nicholas Berger, the landlord of the Cock public-house, in Dyot-street, St. Giles's, the other public-house, where the prose cutrix was taken, said, that on the morning of Sun day se'nnight, between six and seven o'clock, he re collected the prisoner, another man, whom he did not know, and Caroline Wilcox, the prosecutor, corn ing to his master's house. He did not recollect see ing Caroline Wilcox's bundle, but heard the prisoner say, the other man had taken her bundle away. The utrix made a great outcry for the loss of her t r ud ec le, and said, it contained cash and notes to the amount of ,e2OO. The prisoner soon after followed the ether m6tn.—The prosecutrix remained in the house about half an hour, when a man, in a sailor's dress, •w ho was in the house, seeing her distressed state, took her home with him. The prisoner was committed for further examina tion. Several Gentlemen subscribed to the prosecutrix. MANSION-nouir.—Yesterday Sarah Wilson was fully committed charged with steal(ng a watch, the pro perty of a young man, with whom she had formerly been acquainted, and whip met her by chance, after an absence of several years. Four boys and a woman were charged with being concerned in a burglary. The woman was detected pledging some piece* of silk handkerchiefs, which had been stolen. The constable told his Lordship, that two of the boys, Who were about 14, had solicited to he admitted King's evidence, and begged they might be remanded for further examination, which was ordered accordingly. Saturday a Writ of Inquiry of damages was °ie.. tilted at the Secondary's Office in the City, in an ac tion brought by Mr. DURANT, a merchant in the City, against a person, late driver of a Greenwich stage, for a violent assault committed at Deptford in June last. It appeared that the defendant's outrageous conduct proceeded from Mr. D.'s refusal to pay an ex9rbi tant demand for the coach-fare. Mr.LAwEs attended as counsel for the plaintiff, and spoke at some length on the mischief continually resulting fioni the brutal conduct of the Greenwich coachmen. The Jury, after an able charge from the Secondary, awarded 220 damages. A fine large turtle was, a few days since, caught in Lochfine, Loa; the point fpf Minard, by the fisher min of Mr. Cabin /AL, of Kilberry. ST. ifIVDI2EIV'S Difr. I Yesterday being St. Andrew's Day, was observed, as usual, by the Scotch, in Loodbli, with the most rdigious exactness. His Royal Highness the Duke of YORE, took the Chair, at the Meeting, in behalf of the Scottish Hospital. (*.trt his right, the Duke of CLARENCE, Sir D. DUNHAS, Lotd KEITH, the Duke of KPNT, the Spanish Ambassadors Don CEVALLOS and Ad. miral APODACA, and the Tyrolese Deputies on hi. left the Duke of MONTROSE, President of the Society, the Duke of Sussex, with many Noble characters. After a sumptuous dinner to upwards of 700 per sons, in the upper and lower rooms,the canon of " Non nobis Dontine" was •sung by Messrs. Hill, Taylor, Elliot, Evans, and Leet: His Royal Highness, the Chairman, then gave The King, which was drunk with enthusiasm, and plaudits continuing long after the usual time allowed for any toast; " God save the King" (by the singers before mentioned) chest followed, and was received with tuttsults of applause. The Queen and /loyal Family was then drank with three times three. On the health of The Duke of Tori and the Army being proposed, with the honour of three tints three, the feeling of approval was so strong as to cause the toast to be givet with thunders of applause. The glee of " To arms, to arms!" followed, and was highly ap plauded. The Duke of Clarence and Me Navy followed the former toast, and was drunk with every demon stration of loyalty and affection, the band playing the air of Rule Britannia, which was sung in chorus by the room. The Duke of Mormtost then addressed the meet ing. 44 Heroes and Statesmen had been honoured with their applause, therefore he did not mean to oc cupy their time with discussions on these subjects.-- The King, the Heir Apparent, and generally the Royal Family, had been drunk with all those mani festations of attachment which characterised Scots , Men ; but, before he sat down, he would propose the healths of those other illustrious branches of the House of Brunswick, who had honoured the meeting with their presence, " The Dukes of Kent and Scusex‘" This toast was received with unbounded applause, and was followed with—" Success to the 3/mai:A Pa triots," and " Victory to the Tyrolean:, struggling in de fence of their liberties." To the former Admiral APO DACA returned his thanks, in the name of FERDINAND Vllth, and the Spanish nation ; and to the latter, it Scottish Gentleman, w s ho acted as Interpreter to the Deputies, rose in reply. We understand this Gentleman was the Rev. damn ROBERTSON, the same who carried, at the risk of his life, the first proposals Made by Government to the Marquis de la ROSIANA, last year, in Denmark.—His acknowledgements, in the native language of Scotsmen, and addressed to the most sacred feelings of his country, were received with enthusiasm. He spoke as follows— " GENTLEMEN—C a I led u pon to ex press the sen tim en ts of your distinguished Guest and his absent Colleague, I am directed to say in the name of both, that their brave Constituents, when informed of the honours conferred on their Delegates, will join in heartfelt thanks for such hospitable and polite treatment, es pecially when shewn on this your national Feast.— Plaudio). " Brave Caledonians ! heirs of the valour and re nown of your ancestors, defenders of the civil liber ties and independence of every nation that dares to be free, the Mountaineers of Tyrol and Vorarlberg are proud to be reckoned by you Brethren in Arms, and Champions of the same glorious cause. " Had the other provinces of Germany and Italy followed their example, as they did that of Spain, turope would not now, to speak the language of our native Poet BURNS, See stern Oppression's iron gripe, And mad Ambition's gory hand, Sending like bloodhounds from the slip, Woe, Want, and Murder, o'er the land." (.4 thunder of applasue.) " You know that it is not in man to coinmand suc cess ; the Tyroleans have done more, Tura' HAVE DE SERVED IT—(ANdastse)—and in so doing they have de served your friendship, and forced esteem from their very foes.—(Long and reiterated shout: of applause). " Whatever PROVIDENCE may have decreed for them, they assure you, my valiant and hospitable Countrymen, that the Song of your venerable Baid, OSSIAN, and the deeds of FINGAL, shall sooner cease to be heard on your native mountains, than, in the vallies of Tyrol, the praises of a nation where the tumult of ivar does not silence the joys of festivity, and where a people banquets on • deeds of com passion and benevolence"—( liniversalphiudits). " The. Land of Cakes"—"'l e King and Constitution ; and may we trammit Me latter unimpaired to our posterity," were drunk by the Dukes of CLARENCE 'and Susskac, and re-echoed with unanimous plaudits by the coin pan y.--Mr. TAYLOR sang " When first to Italy I went," which was unanimously in.-ored. The following verse was added, and, like the previous part of the song,' received unbounded applausf! : From all domestic woe, ltrom ev'ry foreign foe, Gun shield our King! Upon great GEORGE the Good, Whose throne thus long has stood, Send down thy ehietest good ; Long live our King! After this followed the glee of " !Irian Ayrd,first," &c.: other loyal toasts and sentiments closed the en tertainment, The bagpipe and union-pipe, by MACGREGOR, add ed to the musical treat ; and about ten o'clock, after drinking the healths of the friends of the society in India, who have scut £lOOO to its support, and other benefactors, the company departed from the enjoy ment of a convivial but charitable feat.

P. S. There are two fine French National brigs thivr coming in ; but I cannot learn, in time for post, by what ship they have been taken. A ship of war is also now coming in from the westward. I have every reason to believe that the two brigs, just sent in, were consorts of the vessel captured by the DRUID, and am informed they are full of men arid stores. PORTSMOUTH, NOVEMBER SO.

The Roman Father was performed last night in a correct and pleasing style. CooKk's Horatio: was re ceived with more than usual applause. The patriot, the hero, and the father, have seldom found a better representative. The- presentation of his sword to Public: was marked by expression, which deserved the loudest encomium. Mr. YouNo, as the victorious brother, displayed his usual ability. The last scene was rendered extremely interesting by the combined efforts of Mr. YOUNG and Mrs. CLARK?, who per formed Horatia with great judgment and effect. She received much applause. Scarcely a murmur ruffled the peaceful serenity of the evening. Three cheers for Lord COLLINGIVOOD'S Glorious Victory, and three for his Lordship, were given with general exultation.
