A re quifition, figred by the Dukes of NovroLtt, BEDFORD, NORTHUMBERLAND, Earl FITZWILLIAM, Lord DuN • DAS, and a number of other Gentlemen of the lira rank and contidcration, has been prefinted to the Sheriff of Middleftx, for a meeting to be held on the lubjtit of the public expenditure. Similar requilitions, it is believed, will fpeedily be made in other Counties, and meetings of corporate Bodies be called in every quarter of the kingdom, to give their explicit approbation to the conduit of the Hour: of Commons, and to call for a continuance of an invefligation, wlrich, if carried through every de partment of the State, cannot but be produElive of the moll beneficial confequences. If properly purfned, we (hall be enabled to carry on the war in which we are engaged by the favings of expenditure which will re- Cult from it, without the neceffity of having recourfe to any new taxes on the induflry of the community. By letters from I..;lban, dated the 4th in(!. it ap pears that Jsaosta Bomar/arc, with his wife and fervant., arrived there the day before in the Ameri can (hip Erin, after a pafErge of thirty days. Yeflerdny morning Sir Jamss CRAIG and fuite em. barked in the (12s es, of 98 gnus, Admiral KNIGH T, at St. Helen's, where the (hips and tranfports def tined for the f‘cret expedition, got under weigh, but the wind being contrary, they were obliged to come again to anchor. They will, however, fail as loon as the wind proves favourable. By the Gottenburgh Mails, arrived this day, we learn, that a Ruffian Courier, charged with important difpatches for the country, was to come over in the fame packet with the mails. Their contents I dare, no doubt, to the arrangements now going on between the Courts of St. Peteralurgh and St. James's. From Stockholm we learn, that the mifilndetaand ing between Sweden'and France Rill continue•.. We fubjoin the letter: " srocanotm, ram 4, zBos. • " We have been for fome time pall in expeEtation, that the embargo put upon our (hips in the harbours of France would be taken off, and that matters be tween the two countries would be accommodated; but to-day we hear, that orders have been fent to Carlfcrona to fit out immediately two frigates and two cutters, for the proteflion of our trade.” The doubts entertained refpeEling the news brought to Liverpool by the !hip Demerara, are not removed. Letters from Liverpool fpeak of the intellifem;e as certain; while the accounts which are (fated in the Irifh papers to have hcen received from the fame vet fel, when boarded off Cape Clear, are of a totally dif ferent complexion. The Ceara arrived at Dover, failed in company with the Detnerara. and the Captain of the former flates,with the Captain of the Demerara, that cn the 9th March, a boat came put to them front Barbadoes, and informed them that the report in the ifland was that the French had evacuated DA:oink:l. Thus far the two accounts agree, and we arc inclined to give credit to them. On the other bend, it is laid, that another veffel that failed in company with the Demerara, heard nothing of the report in quellion. We hope a few days will remove thefe doubts. Ycaerday morning his MAJESTY, accompanied by Genci • is FrrzitoY and G:v Y NN E, took the divertion of flag hunting. The deer was (Lined at Afcot heath. Princeffes SCPHIA and AM ELIA, Count MONSTER, and Nils Foul-ow. took an ailing on hurfeback, in Wincifor Great Palk. Hcr MansTr and the other Patric MS: took an airing to Frogmore. Yctlerday a Court of Direelors was held at the Ealt India Houle, when Mr. JOSEPH &ALTON, of the Royal Dockyard, Portfmouth, was appointed Mailer Shipwt fight at Prince of Wales's 'nand. The Court adjourned, at fix o'clock, till Wedneiday next. Lail Wednefday r.ight, or early yetterday morn ing►, a bar of goIJ, value 30,c001. was Holm nut of one of the Spanith prizes lying in Mr. PaRIY'S Dock, at Illackwall. A woman was brought to Dow-flreet, lall night, charged with fleahng a child of four years old, from Exccr.ftrect, Strand, where its parents refide. She had (Hipped it, and pledged its clothes at a Pawn• btoker's in Drury-lane. I'he duplicate was found in her poffeffion. It appears the is a well•known cha ratter about the town as a beggar. On Wednefday night lA. as Mr. JOHN BIDWELL Was returning from Hyde Park Lodge, he was at• tacked near the head of the Serisentii!e River, by two ruffians in foldiets great coats, and foraging caps, armed with bludgeons, who, after beating him fe verely about the head, robbed him of his watch and money. During the time he was engaged with one of them. he received a blow from behind from the other villain, which felled him to the ground, and nearly deprived him of his fenfes. They then rifled his pouicets, aad tying his legs departed with their, booty towards Kaightibridgra • • 4 MARX-L4NE CORM lICnIMG6, APRIL 19.

Yefierday three waggon loads of flowers and lhrubs, naturaland artificial, were difpatcbed to deco rate various apartments in Windfor Calve, Two cart loads of confcciionary were hkewile fent off from town at the fame time. Mr. FRANCE, the Uphol der, has forwarded above four waggons, heavily laden with furniture, for the thirty new rooms on tit,: top of the Cattle, which are all to be fitted up as bed rooms. The Prince of Wax's, the Doke and Du chefs of YORK, and the other Royal Dukes, are to be accommodated with apartments in the (teen's Lodge, oppofite the Caille. The PrincefsofWALss, and the ?tined . % CHAR Lorra, are to take poifefliim of Dr Heberden's hook on Sunday next, which is neatly ready for their reception. The Earl of DART stool H, the Lord Chamberlain, left town yeflerday morning early, to forward the preparations, and fee that no improper perfons obtain admiffion into the Cattle, to prevent which his Lordfhip iffoes his own pals tickets to thole pei Cons anthorifed to receive them. The Prince of WALES wall return to lon on Sunday night, and we underfland it is Lis Royal Highnefs's intention to leave town early on Monday morning for Windfor, accompanied by the Duke of DEVONSHIRE, by which means much hurtle and con fufion will be avoided.

Each of the Knights has three tickets at his difpofal, and tin more. They entitle the polfelfor to a feat in the temporary gallery, next the windows of St. George's Chapel, and this being inn mediately oppofite to the tables where the Knights are to dine, the &nation is by far the belt for feting every thing going forward. The throne, and the feats let apart for the Royal Family, arc to be covered with et imfon velvet ; the hanging, draperies, curtains, &c. of the Hall are to be of the fame materials, finiflied with rich gold taf. lets and trimmings.
