Is Hanover to be put into his hands as a pledge and fecurity for the performance of the porn. pens promifes with which the crafty Corkin has been Co long feeding the hopes, and enticing the cupidity, of that otherwife unaccountably accommo dating Power 1--or is the occupation of Hanover by Pruffian troops to be only a temporary nseafure t intended to let loofa the French forte employed in oppreffing that Elatorare, and to enable them to (Act' the armies already on their march to attack Auttria I In either cafe, the releafe of fuch a force at filch a moment, is of the molt 'trims im?ortance, and may be the fource of many events tirongly cal• ctfated to affea the progrefs and ultimate Me of the war. To this particular point of Continental politics Ire have the more Itudioully direCted the attention of the public, not only bccaufe it is that refpatiog which we poffefs the latell information, but becaufe in its !Mute and tendency it is more new and interefling than any of the other articles received yefterday front the Continent, which contain little in addition to what we already knew, or what might naturally be est:idled. The laft Meffenger from Peterlburgh brought po. itive orders for the fpeedy departure of Count &rait- GOIIOFF, on his miffion to Madrid. He Will there. fore have Thomas's Hotel, Berkeley-fquare, in the courfe of a few days. accompanied by hit numerous fuite. It is conjeitured, that meafures are atoUt to be adopted for the relief of Spain from the tyranny of BOiiAPARTE, and Count STRACONOFF is ftilfY cm powered to ad on any great emergency. By a neutral veffel from Lilbon, detained and brought into one of our out-ports, we learn, that an account had arrived there from Madrid, of the Prince of Peace having exhibited high charges againft cer tain diqinguithed perfonages, which had produced loch a violent fenfation throughout the kingdom, that bodies of troops were every where in motion, to anticipate the confequences which were appre- Lcaded.—The fhip which brought this intelligence is laid to have left the Tagus nn the 7th inftant. Letters from on board the Channel Fleet, dated of Uthant, the loth intl. have been received. By th,:re we learn, that on the preceding day the REVO z.nriosistas, SURINAM, and another vael, recon noitred the port of Brea, when they found that the whole of the enemy's fleet, confining of 21 fail of the line, (even frigates, and corvettes, had gone into the inner harbour, or what is called Brea Water, to thelter themfelves from the effects of the late wrong winds. Our fleet, at that time, confined of nine teen fail of the line, and feveral frigates, which were expefted to be joined on the following day by the BARFLEUR, and Come other !kips Of the line. By the fame letters we are informed, that on the td init. the Irma frigate fell in with an enemy's lquadron of (even fail of the line and two frigates, in ht. 46. N. long. 23. W. by which the was for Come time chafed; but owing to the approach of night, the was unable to afortain the courfe they afterwards took. Pro bably the force alluded to was the R.ochefortfquadron on its return to port. As might naturally be expeaed, the preparations for embarking a large force now making in the Downs, are a fubjea of general converfation. To repeat every idle rumour to which they give rife, would be ufelefs. In the very nature of things, neither the precife time of embarkation, nor the true deltination of the expe dition can be publicly known—excepting only its general objea, which is to cooperate with our Con tinental allies. Our accounts from Chatham Rate, that even the ammunition is not ready for the forces that are to be employed on this fervice : if fo, the time for employing it is Rill diftant. We may, how ever, remark, that it is not impolfible to manage bu finds of this kind without its being necerarily known to the public. Indeed we think it more than probable' , that every thing in the line of ammunition that can pof fibly be wanted for fuch a fervice, muff have been long ago prepared in great quantity ; for we are not willing to believe, after being fo long threatened with invafion, that Government would be fo culpably negligent on a point of fo much importance. The thing is im. poilible, and we have no doubt the event will Phew it. According to all appearance the embarkation of the troops will commence in the courfe of the prefent veek. General MOORE'S brigade will embark in the I)(,:.tns. The Highland brigade, with the 43d, 32d, And 78th regiments, will embark at Portfmouth. It underflood that Lord CATUCART will command the cavalry, and General MOORE the infantry, and that the Duke of Yoax will take the chief command of the expedition. It was not till yellerday that any part, in fpecie, of the Subfidy for our allies on the Continent was fent off from the Bank. Soon after nine o'clock in the morning five waggons were brought to the back part of the Bank, to carry feveral calks of dollars, which were ready to be fent off to Portfmonth, for the porpofe of being conveyed to the Continent. Each waggon held about fourteen calks, and when they left the Bank they were ercorted by a party of Honk- Guards, who were inftrufled to fee the money fafely lodged on board fhip. The rum altogether was ef timated at half a million. ROFAL FAIKILr.

The ground was meafured, the principals and feconds had taken their places, and Were jolt in the a& of firing, when they were feized by a peace officer, and carried before a magiftrate at Newport, who bound oier the parties and the feconds to keep the peace. Assrze or BREAD.—This day the Lord Mayor, after infpe&ing the Mealweighers' Returns, ordered the price of bread to continue as laR week. THEATRE, COVENT GARDEN.—Laft night the per formances at this Theatre commenced for the realm 1805.6, and were very refpeilably attended. The Play was The School for Reform, and the After piece 7he Padlock. In the firft, the only nnticable change was HARGRAVE viceCOOK P, in Lord eivondole,which he performed with tolerable fuccefs. In the Farce, a Mr. BENNET from Bath was the Diego of the even ing. Of the extent of his vocal powers we cannot (peak decidedly, but hefitate not to pronounce him a good fubffitute for thole who have immediately pre ceded him in fuch a s caft of characters. His action is rather animated ; and he is a fubaantial Rage figure, rather thicken in years. American papers to the r t th ult. have been received. The long pending difpure with Spain teems to be re- newed, in confequence of which it was reported at New York on the sth ult. that 64 the PRESIDENT had called Congrefs together on bufinefs of high import ance to the nation." It was alto reported, " that Notes unufually animated had lately pallid between the American Secretary of State and the Spanilh Mi filler, Mr. YRule."—The Cities of New York and Philadelphia continue in a great meafure free from the yellow fever; and at Newhaven and Providence the Difeafe teems to have made no alarming progrefs at the date of the lag accounts. The narrative which we have copied, of the capture of a privateer and her two prizes, in St. Mary's River, by a tender be longing to the CAMBRIAN frigate, is the moll impor. rant article which appears in them. For determined perfeve ranee, and a gallant contempt of danger, this action does not yield to the proudelt of thole which have occurred in the courfe of the prefent war. The State of Ohio have concluded a treaty with the Indian tribes, by which 1,200,cr00 acres have been ceded to the United States, for an annuity of 1826 dollars. There are accounts from the Ilk of France, via Salem, dated in April, but they do not contain any information of interefl. Another Embalry is about to leave Bombay for Mufcar, in order to firengthen the bonds of amity fubflaing between the two Governments. Accounts from China, by the fleet recently ar rived, Rate, that the rebellion in the Upper Pro vinces has affumed a very ferious afpe&. The Im perial troops had made feveral unfuccefsful attacks on fome hill forts occupied by the infurgents ; and at the time of our (hips leaving Macao, a report prevailed there, that General Dunum had, together with the greaten part of his army, perilbed in an ambufcade. A Mandarin, of the firll rank in China, has been banithed for life, on fufpicion of his having favoured the defigns of the Tartars on the weßern frontiers. The King of Siam had demanded the affiltance of the King of (tida to repel ferious commotions on his frontiers. The happy times defcribed by King Solomon, when every man dwelt fafely under his vine, are now fop poftd to have returned to this favoured country.— Bread is falling every week, the harveft has been abundant beyond example, our commerce preponder ates over the globe, the vain boafting of the enemy recoils upon him with contempt, and to make up the climax. the profped of an ample fortune will not fail to be fpeedily tealifed by many of the pur chafers in the prefent excellent Lottery, the Scheme of which, in number of Capital Prizes and general arrangement of the benefits, is incunteftibly better than any that has for many years been before the public.
