Portland Place,S4C24, 1804. " My Lord—At length I have the fatisfaftion of announcing to your Lordfhip, the faccefs which has attended the Reps taken in favour of Capt. Wright. By a letter from M. Talleyrand,addreffed to his Ca tholic M:tjeily's Ambaffador (acopy of which I have the honour of tranfmitting to you), your Lordfhip will perceive, that the French Government is difpof cd to order Mr. Wright to be placed at the difpofal of his Britannic Majelly ; and, for his deliverance, • only waits to learn the place where this prifoner is to be configned. After the lively intereft which is evi dent to have been felt by his Britannic Majelly, in the fate of this individual, I cannot but be infinitely flattered at the refoluticn thus taken by the French Government, and I !hall be no lefs fo, as being intim mental towards the perfcet concluflon of this affair. In expreiling their lentiment-, I do but fulfil the %tithes, and even the very orders, of the King, my mailer ; for no fonner was his Majelly informed of the defire. of the Britith Government, with regard to Captain Wright, than he charged his Ambalfador at Paris, mat particularly, to omit nothing which conld aid their obtaining a favourable refillt, I avail my felf of this opportunity for renewing to your Lord Ihip, the affurance of the high confideration with which I have the honour to be, Ste.

" Paris (loth Prnaidor, tads Anat. 44 Sir—l have laid before his Majelly the emperor, the letter which you have done me the honour of communicating to me. By his order, 1 mull reca pitulate to your Excellency tome &els, which relate to the objet of that letter. Mr. Wright was taken by our cruizers, at the very moment he was landing Jean Marie and two of his accomplices, on the emit of Brittany. Prior to this, he had already landed at three times confecurively, banditti of a fimilar de fcription, Who have fence been brought to judgment, convieled, and punithed, for having confpired againa the hate, and attempted the life of the Fifa Conftd. Thefe (pecks of ass, under whatever point of view they m•ty otherwife be contemplated, certainly do not appertain to war. Time is no age, nor any na tion, in which they would lint he regarded as crimes, and one may, wi..h truth, aver, that it wasjogranti elefitiu, Mr. Wright was captured by French mari ners, then officiating as an aimed force. According to accounts, to which tun credit mull be gives, this officer had been demanded from the Engfillb Ad miralty. Tl:e Lords dirteting this department were, of courfe, nor ignorant of the kind of fervice to which he was deilined. The Mame attached to the premeditation and execution of a projea, as atro cious and vile, as it was cowardly, remains entirely mi•ft the men who deviled the plot, and, with him, who undertook to accomplifh their views. lam or dered, »ir, to declare to your Excellency, that his Majelly the Emperor will never (offer Mr. Wright to be exchat.ged. No Frenchman belonging, with what ever sank he may, to the Imperial Navy, can ever confent to be placed in the balance with that perfon in a cartel of exchange. But, Sir, the Emperor, having at heart to do every thing which depends; upon his Imperial Majelly, to mitigate the (Cotner of war, and willing to prove, that in his breall fuch a difpofition preponderates over even motives of ufe ful and pia feverity, has authirifed me to declare, that his Imperial Majelly will give orders, that Mr. Wright be placed at the difpofal of t h e Eng ph Government. May I beg of you, therefore, to make known to Lord Harrowby, this generous Octet mirostion of his Majelly. You will fee in it, Sir, the marked intent; m of doing what may be perfon. ally agreeable to you/fell, and his Britannic Majely's new will be conarained to recognife in it a poor of the difpofition fo often manifetled on the part of his Imperial Majelly, to thew hirnfelf above not only thole fentiments which offences in general excite, but even above thofe which might fpring from the attempts, of which his own perfon has been the ethic& I (hall, therefore, remain in expeSation of learning by your means, the place which the at Engiifh Government with the prifoner of (fate, claimed through your intervention, to be delivered over.

War people Cato inclined to think, from the parch of part of the troops from Boulogne, that the encampment there is entirely broken up. That, how. over, is not the cafe.

Asatcole, and a cutter, to endeavour to cat th,s, off. It was juti dark when they left the Itoa4.— They paired through the Race of Alderney about twelve the fame night, and in the morning flood clofe into Cherbourg, where they perceived the Malaya frigate and a cutter, The Tuasee was within reach of the batteries, which fired leveret Sot at her, but did not do any material damage. Our fhips, on their return to Guernfey, fell in with the Ascstaa it frigate, which had chafed the flotilla into a (mall fort oppoSte Guernfeye Lord NILSON (lined yeaerday with Mr. Cotosmtn, at Tooting, in company with Lady Haiascrom, Mitt NlLaos, dm Mr. PITT came to town lan evening, to his honk in Downinetreeti where he was ihortly after vifited by the Loan CHancard.oa. In confequence of Sir &OMIT &grill having raper feded Admiral DOUGLAS in the command off Bou logne, the latter has been appointed Port-Admiral at Yarmouth. By an Order of Council, the pay of the Lieutenants of the Royal Navy is increafed to Bs. per day t and that of the Mailers to Isl. per month. The pay of the Captains, we underftand, will tpeedffy come under the confideration of his Majefty's Privy Council. There has been a very ufeful alteration in the mode of paying the Ibipwrights in the Royal Dockyard at Plymouth. They are to work two days and three. quarters of a day in one week, and each artificer is to have one guinea per week every Saturday night. Captain BLInK, appointed Governor of New South Wales, will take his departure in a few days, having received his final infirnaions from the Lords Com miffioners of the Admiralty. Gamma P. HARRIS, Efq. is appointed Deputy Surveyor-General of Sullivan Cove, an the River Derwent, Van Diemen's Land, New South Wales. Among the Raffengers arrived in the Eaft India convoy is Sir NICHOLAS STILAIGI, Chief Jake of Madras. Sir ROUST Snots Mn.mat, late Governor of (bebec, his family and lithe, are come to England in the Uaasie. The Lord BISHOP of (12 ',sac ts alfo arrived in the Anne.

I believe we are going upon a cruife." The 4th, or Woolwich Divifion of Royal Ma►ines, are to be trained at Chatham, till barracks are pro vided for them at Woolwich. The Clerkenwell Volunteer regiment yefterday be gan to do permanent duty at home for ten days ; up wards of 430 were on the ground. The regiment mutters twice in the day for military pradice ; at fe• wen in the morning till nine, and at four till feven in the evening. Capt. Roans': company (the grenadiers) performed guard duty yefterday, and the other cons panics are in rotation to do the fame. Sentinels are polled at different places in the pariffi, who are hour ly relieved ; and there is a ferjeant's guard Rationed at the New River Head, where a room has been fitted up for its accommodation. The officers have a met's during the ten days, at the head quarters of the regi ment, where they fit down to foldiers' fare, and are allowed one hour only for their dining. On Monday laft, feveral companies of the Loyal North Britons marched to Highbury, where they fired at targets for two elegant filver medals, given by two of their officers, Lieutenants FOIDYCII and CREOLt. The fortunate competitors on this occafion were, Mr. Jamas GEDDFII of the ad company, and Mr. T. thew° of the rifle company. Immediately after the decifion, a circle was-formed, and the me dals prefented by the officers to the fuccefsful candi dates. Lieutenant Casozs, on this occafion, made a fliort but appropriate fpeech, expreffive of the ob. jai which he and his brother officer had in view in giving there prizes, and of his hope, that fhould neceflity require it, .they might be able to dire& their fire with equal fuccefs againft the enemies of our country. This method of creating a laudable emulation among volunteers, and improving them as markfmen, cannot be too much commended ; and it is to be walled, that the generous conduit of the above two officers may be imitated lay others in a fimilar &nation.

Sir STDMIT St(ITM, it is kid, will dire& the naval operations of this ezpedi► tion. On the dellination and objeas of this expels tion we purpotely avoid (eying any thing. The Walfingham packet, as we have already bad occafion to notice, brought no regular mail. She wab fent from Lilbon to inform Government of the arri val of the Combined French and Spanifh flans at A few letters brought by this packet were delivered out yefierday. They confirm the fears we expelled two days ago. The French frigate a Topaze, un fortunately cfcaped the vac's that were is purfuit of her, and got into Li(bon on the 19th or soth ult.— The brave Captain Muocs, his Officers, and 70 of tie gallant crew of the late &micas, have been landed from la Topaze. The Britilh Coda has taken them under his care. Receipts were given to the French Conful at Li(bon fur the number delivered over, not to ferve till regularly exchanged. Thefe fine fellows may be hourly expeited in the Malabar, of 54 guns, which it is faid is to bring them home. A (mall fleet of merchantmen was to fail from Lithon on the ift inftant, under convoy of his Majef ty's flip POULITTI, which are daily expefted to ar rive. Letters from Cadiz, dated the 16th ult. were re ceived by the above packet. They do not contain any information whatever. No accounts have been received from Gibraltar by the Walfingham. The Venus cutter, however, arrived at Plymouth, from that garrifon, brings ac counts down to the 24th ult. inclufive. No further movement bad taken place along the Spanifh lines. The Spaniards were in daily expeCtation of being re inforced by French troops. Sir R. Biczwros re mained at Gibraltar, and the town and garrifon con tinue perfealy healthy. The Spanifb gun-beats are daily commit►ing depredations on American (hips, and other neutral veifels. Two from Virginia, bound to Gibraltar, were taken by them a few days prior to the failing of the Venus, and carried into Algefiras. It gives us pleafure to be able to Rate, that at the time the Venus failed the Lieutenant-Governor WAS perfettly recovered from his late fevere i:lnefs, and had refumed the command of the garrifon. In con fequence of General Fox's recovery, a folenan Drum had been fung in the Spanifh Church at Gi braltar, as a token of refpeCt and eßeem from the in. habitants of the place. The troops and inhabitants were healthy, and there vas no appearance of any thing like a return of the dreadful malady with which that place was vifited laft year. Some of the morning papers have announced that tlifpatches were yellerday received from Admiral Colmar:moon: we can affure the public that none have been received from that commander for fome days ; to doubtc t however, are entertained, that he keeps the Combined Fleet clofely blockaded in Cadiz, a putt from which they will find it more difficult to efcape than perhaps any other one they could have entered. The Q2ebec fleet, the fafe arrival of which we yeferdaj 2nnounced, confilts of 27 fail, the greater part of which have reached the Downs. Thus, in pve days, 34 Eall.lndiamen, upwards of too Weft- Indiamen, and this fall-mentioned fleet of 27 fail, iiave arrived ist their defined ports without mole fa !lop.

The Earl of Fife's Lawn at Whitehall was the place of general rendezvous, pot it, was found impafible fir 411 the company that was. expeßed 'to embark, at that time, and confequently his Lordlblp did not any longer detain the illuttrious foreigner s his family, and frienth, but fat off as ((togas he reached Whitehall. The company confined of Lord Hat. Rower, the Ruffian Ambittrador, the Countefs We), aorzow (his Lady) and their children, Bonn and Baronet*. Svtooonorr. Baron Nico&ays, and two or three attendants. They were conveyed down the River in an eight.oared barge belonging to the Cont. iniffioners of the Navy,and a ten-oared pinnace belong. ing to the Treafurer of the Navy. As the treat was entirely Lord Haaaowsv's, he had provided rehab ments of the molt delicious kind for the company to Partake of on the water,and the finenefi of the weather and Rillnefs.t f the water contributed materially to the pleafure of the party. The new London Docks, the EMI and Weft India Docks were all viewed in t e s t ular proeeffiothand the illuttrious for eignersexpreffed t hem felves highly gratified with the ezrentive difplay of our commercial greatnefs,which thefe placesszhibited. The company afterwards went to the (hip Tavern, in Greenwich, where they were joined by Mr. Pirr, Lord MU LG RA•E, Lord CASTLEREAGH, and fermi other perfons of ditlitultion. The whole patty then partook of a moll fumptuous dinner, which was pro vided by order of Lord Hatitoway. His Lordlbip; determined on doing every thing in his power to en hance the pleafure of his guelts, had previoufly fent down two cooks and other tenants to prepare the entertainment. In the evening Mr. PITT, Lord CAST.. LERSAG &c. returned to town by land as they had gone down. Lord and Lady HARROWBT paired the remainder of the night at Lady Eeeiovr s, at the edge of Blackheath. The rect uiting fervice is carried on with great ac tivity in every part of the kingdom. As an innance of the zeal of Come of thofe employed in it, we men tion one which comes within out own knowledge.— One officer alone, Capt tin Lego, of George-nrect. has railed for different Regiments, for the Army of Referee, as fubßitutes, and for obtaining commif- Gam, &c. upwards of 1500 men within thefe two years. Orders are_juß ;trued for the Camp at Wardbury Down, near Exeter, to break up on the ,4th intl. and the Regiments compofing the Camp, viz, the War ceßer, North Devon, and Bedford Regiments, are to march to Exmouth, erofs the River Exe, and proceed to Hammond, on Ball Moore, near the River Plyme, where they were to take ground, and and be joined by the Hankers of the Royal Cornwall. South Devon, and Wilts, in Plymouth garrifon, the whole to form a flying Camp, and, alter Raying a for tnigh , , to break np again, and proceed to Roborough Downs, till the end of the campaign. A gentleman at Knightfbridge has undertaken to walk from town to Windlor, on Saturday netts in three hours and twenty minutes. for a wager of thirty guineas. Cootiderable bets are depending on the performance, The Haymarket Theatre was crowded lafi Light. The Pantomime of obi ; or, Three Fin .red ygd, was performed. It was got up in a magnifi cot tly.e, and was received with unbounded applaute, by ooe of the moll crowded and elegant audiences of the lea,on.
