From good authority we learn, that the Spanilh fl:ips of war, under the command of Admiral Gwroca, which failed from Bret along with the French fleet, and were believed to have been def. tined with it for the Weft Indies, have arrived at Ferrol. They left the French fleet daring a heavy gale of wind, in which feveral of the !hips of the latter received confiderable damage. We have not learnt whether the Spanifh !hips took the opportunity of the gale to make their efcape from the poffeffion of the French, or whe ther their return to Spain was intended, and openly avowed at the time they left Breit. This morning we received French Journals to the 23d inftant inclufive, from which we have fe le,fled the following articles : Puts, Jaw. 23.—Letters ft.= Amiens fine, that nothing has yet tranfpired refpeding the Ne gotiations : we, however, hope, that the refult will (:ion be made known to the public.—yaurnal eks liferinun tk la Patric.

LYONS, JAN. I 7.—Yeauday and this day mime rous deputations from Leman, la Drome, l'Ain, Saone-et•Loire, and Loire, and Ardeche, prece. ded by the Prefab of thefe departments, were prefented to the FIRST CONSUL, who appeared to be highly gratified by this attention of the Citi zens wit° belted from all parts to fee him, with out calculating the length of the way, or being prevented by the feverity of the feafon. The Ecclefiaftical Members of the Cifalpine Confulta, and thofe deputed by the armed force, bad an audience, after which an eccleftailical Com mittee was formed. He then received the Notables of the Confulta. -After this audience a committe.: of Notables was formed. Yellerday and this day a great many of the Members of the Confuha dined with the Firm. CONSUL. To-morrow the FIRST CONSUL will review the tronps in the garrifon : it appears that the Lyon stt;fe cavalry will be prefent. A couricr from Peter!burgh arrived on the r3th at the Hotel of the Minifier of Foreign Relations; two others arrived from England, one on the t+th and the other two days after: every thing gives us reason to hope that we than foon have to an. tu;unce tome refults equally calculated to eftablifh the repofe of Europe, and the happinefs of France. 'lt is just now raid, that a Courier has arrived from Naples, with difpatches of the molt fatisfac. tory nature; all refentment, and every painful re cellation will be effaced, and the reconciliation belween Naples and France effeEted by their treaty of peace, becomes every day more fincere. When a deputation . of the Lyonnefe cavalry wive prefented by General D11111111,4t tb the near Cow sec, he enquired, with great interell, whether the greater part of them were not the tons of pea. pie in bufinefs? and whether they were equipped at • their own eapence On their teffifying a de fire to place a guard, from their corps, around the prem of the Four Outset, he made them an anfwer which does honour to the young men of Lyons, and which they will no doubt always re colleEt with fatisfaaion ; " I certainly accept your offer. I (hall always fee you around me with pleaftare." He labours, it is Paid, with the Miniflers from d a ybreak till noon, an hour at which he conti nues to receive the public fundionarics of the de. I intment. Yeflerday the Profefors of the central fchool, and the Members of the Society of Agri culture had the honour to be prefented to him. The Cita'pint Confulta has held fome private alfemblies, to which no firangers were admitted. The Officers of the Lyonnefe cavalry who went to meet the FIRST CONSUL gave an entertainment of ninety covers to the Officers of the Confular guard, and of the various military corps at Lyons. Citizen OMIT, Counfellor of State, charged with the adminiflration of bridges and caufe ways, arrived in this city on the t 2th. A difagreeable accident which betel C. Is Counfellor of State, deprived the Lyonnefe of the pleafure of feting their Prete& do the honours of the feftival to the FIRST CONSUL. As C. NAJAC was fiepping into the carriage of Madam BONA rears, his foot flipped on the (now, and be fell backwards ; getting up fpeedily, he wounded his head againll the door of the carriage, which was then open. C. Najac was defirons, notwithfland ing the pain, to continue to accompany Madam Bo- NARA ; but when be arrived at the door of the ball-room, he was feized with a.giddinefs, which obliged him to retire. The Counfellor of State, Prete& of tha Depart ment, defirous of fulfilling the benevolent inten tions of the Film CONSUL in favour of thofe in. habitants of Lyons who may at "prefent Rand in need of affillance, has decreed, that the Sum of 6000 francs (hall be immediately placed at the dif pofition of the three Mayors of Lyons, to be dif... tributed among the poor of their arrestfifiment, ac cording to the reprefentations given in to them. The Saone is frozen: the Rhone, which begins to be choaked up with ice, will loon be frozen alfo. ST urrc A to, Jew.' 2.—According to intelligence from Nuremberg, the cellion of the fix bailliwicks of Bayreuth to the court of Munich, as, well as feveral other exchanges of territory between that court and the court of Berlin, are on the point of being terminated. The convention entered into at Berlin, between PrulEa and France, on the sth of Augnft 1796, is talked of at preterit more than ever. The fifth article of this convention, which it is probable will be form carried into execution, is as follows : " If the re-eflablifhment of the Houfe of Orange is confidered as impoflible at the period of the fu turc pacification, the two contraaing parties en gage to employ their mediation, in order to aid a proper agreement between the Batavian Re public and the humus - op ORANGE: the principal articles of this agreement fhall be, on the part of the faid Panics or ORANGE, a renunciation of all , his pretentious to the dignity of Stadtholder, and to all the immoveable property he poffeffes on the left bank of the Rhine, and in Belgium ; while, on the other hand, the Batavian Republic (hall pay to the Panics or ORANGE an indemnity, propor tioned to his poffeffions, nnlefs the Republic prefer leaving that property to the faid Pumice, to be difpofed of within a time fpecified ; betides, the French Republic engages to co-operate, by all its means, for the tecularization of the bifhopricks of Wurzbourg and Bamberg, in favour of the PRINCE or ()React and his heirs male, to which principalities (ball be joined the Eletoral dignity: it engages alto to take fuck meafures, that, in cafe the male line of the Houfe of Orange become mina, the reverfion of thefe bifhopricks shall be fecured to the Haute of Brandenbourg." There has been for tome time park at Vienna a deputation from the commercial interefl at Venice, charged with requefling that the Emperor, in his quality of Duke of Venice, will become guarantee for the Bank of that State, as eftential for the re vival of commerce. This Bank was formerly en- lured by the Venetian Senate. No anfwer has yet been given to this demand. HAGUE, JAN. t4.—C. BAGGR, a Dutch . MET. chant, has been acknowledged by the Court of Petertburgh as the Commiffary of Commercial Relations of our Republic. The conclufion of the laft year was unfortunately diftinguifhed by the breaking clown oC the dykes and by dreadful inundations : though Holland is the natural baron into which two rivers dif;harge theinfelves, the Meufe and the Rhine, the great precautions, which had been taken for feveral cen turies pall, feemed to have remocsd all fear of their overflowing their banks ; but nothing could oppofe the impettinfity of *h. waves—quays, dykes, and every thing elfe wert (wept away. The South of Holland has in particular fuffered very much ; for many years the inhabitants congratu lated themfelves on being (pared. The laty inun• . damns carried every where terror and devafta tion : the land which feperates Rotterdam And Gouda *as one call inundation, which feemed to bare given back that country to the fea, from which it was gained by the incellant induftry of our Anceffors. It is impolUble to calculate with out terror the extent of our loffes—more than fix thoufand acres of land are under water. The departure of our fquadmn from Flailing, under Admiral HARTSIN k, has been delayed for various rearms. CORN MARZET. mmot-LAtit, JAN. 27. Wheat, Flour, and other Articles have a heavy Sale, and at the Lime Prices as on Monday lati. The Duke of (ku . EINSIARRY has been for Come da*ticonfined to his chamber, extremely ill. Mr. Pox will fhortly go to Paris, in order to contult original documents for his Hiftory, which is in great forwardnefs. • Sir CRARLES MORGAN has been laid up with a violent fit of the gout for a conliderable time at his houle in Grafton-fireet, Berkeley-11rue- His MAJESTY has been pleated, by letters pa tent, to appoint JOHN WILSON, Efq. a Commif floner for invefligating the accounts of the army in the Weft Indies, in the room of General MAIT LAND, reigned. It is now very generally rnmourvd, that in or der t* fatify his MAJESTY'S perfohal regard for his Grace, the Duke of Porrcawn is to be pro moted a fecond time to the Government of Ire land. It is added, that the prefent ATTORNEY GENERAL will fuccecd the Earl of CLARE as Chancellor of Ireland, to make room for Mr. Emits', who, with the Duke of BEDFORD, Lord MOIRA, Mr. GREY, and Mr. Mauer, are to form part of the Adminiltration, Mr. ADDI tic Tot( Rill prefcrving the poft of Firll Lord of the Trea fury, and Chancellor of the Exchequer. To make room for fo many diflinguithed p r. tons, it is evident that fome other rgrafcn they are ufually termed. mull take place. It is Paid that the Duke of BEDFORD is to be Prefident of the Council ; Lord MOIRA Secretary of State for the Colonies, in the room of Lord HOBART ; and Mr. GREY Prefident of the Board of Con. trout. Lord HARDWICKE, who is at prefent in Ireland, will probably have a Blue Ribbon, or Come other chtlinguifbed mark of favour on his return. Such are the reports which have obtained credit in the beft circles of political information, and which it is therefore become our chtty•to an nounee, notwithftanding the natural difficulty we feel in giving credit to them. We are informed that it has been refolved to recal Marquis WELLESLEY, the prefent Governor General of India. His fuccetfor has not, as far as we know, yet been fixed upon. There are various reafons fpoken of for the reealofLord WELLISLItY. We have not heard, however, whether this recal be occafioned by the Governor General having I made and unmade Sovereigns without the autho rity of his fuperiors, or whether fuch ails have been without their authority. We have not heard whe ther the DireEtors, or the Government that eon trouls the Directors, have expreffed any difappro bation of the proceedings in the cafe of the Nabob of Arcot, almoff without a parallel, except in India. But thofe in power may foften or aggra vate the fall of the Governor General, yet we troll 'that proceedings which have brought the Britigh faith again into queflion over ail the world will not be permitted to pats over unnoticed. We complain, and with junice, of the power that makes and unmakes Kings and Republics in Europe, and !hall the S&W: Parliament peep, while a company of merchants abate the authority of their country to make and unmake Nabobs in Indian This is Jacobins'/Ns in the very worft fenfc ever given to the term; and while we accufc our enemies of it In their conduct to other nations, let us be fine that the name and authority of the Britith nation he not implicated in ads no lets derogatory to the Rights of Independent States or Sovereigns, nor lets in continent with the faith of treaties. Great intereft has been made in ftvour of Go vernor WALL, and Minifters wifhed to be in pof felfion of the full proceedings of his trial, and ap. plied to the CHIEF Ballow for a full ftatement from his notes. Lail Saturday the LORD CHANCELLOR and feveral of the Minifters had a confultation on the bufinefs. The CHIEF BARON from other en gagements had not been able to get his report findhed by that time, nor could he complete it till the next day ; as this allowed very fhort time to deliberate, it is fuppofed that the reprieve to laft Monday was wended to Thurfday. To-day the matter, was to be confidered by the Council. A few days fince a duel was fought at the back of Silver-hill barracks, by Lieut.liewarsott, of the gth regiment of infantry, and Lieut. Tovsy, when the latter, from the &ft fire of his antago nift, received 4 ball which perforated his thigh • the feconds then interfered, and prevented th e parties from proceeding to any further ails of hof tility. ASSIZE OF BREAD.—Yeiterday the Principals of the Bakers' Company attended the LORD Maros at Guildhall, to fet the Affize of Bread ; and the Mealweighers' Reports being infpeaed, it appeared that if his Lordatip fet the Mize by she price of Wheat (which is not coftomary) instead of Flour, he had the power of reducing the price half an Aflize, or One Penny in the Pcck Loaf, which his Lorephip, contrary to the expeaations of the Company and Dealers in Flour, very judicioufly did, and by this mode the price of the Qiiartern Loaf will be reduced to One Shillinp to commence and take place . to-morrow. This as the &ft time known for many years of the LORD MAYOR felting the Affize by the price of Wheat; and his Lord fhip has declared his determination of always adopting this Waeafure whenever he can reduce the price by this method. The coinage of bafe flyer has of late increafed to a very ;laming degree. Two perfons were• committed from the Public Office, Bow-Greet, on 'Monslay lall, for paling counterfeit Ifiver ' and yef. terdaT a man, apprehended in the Strand by fome of the Patr,ole, with a box full of counterfeit Ihil. hogs and fxpences in his polfeffion, to the amount of upwards of 901. was brought up for re-exami nation.

LIVERPOOL, JAN. 25. —On Thurfday morning, between one and two o'clock, the molt dreadful form of wind arofe from the welhvard ever re membered by the oldefi inhabitant of this town or neighbourhood, and continued with equal or in. created violence until three o'clock in the afternoon, in which many floops, tome laden, others in bal laft, were funk at their anchors between the Old Dock quay and the Fort ; boats beaten to pieces on the beach, as well as larger craft ; the floop Peggy, of Greenock, Capt. M'LF At:, laden with provifions from Cork, was driven on (hove near the Half-mile Houle, where the went on her beam ends and Coon filled with water, the crew (fix in num ber) with a gentleman and fix foldiers, paffengers and the Pilot, lathed themfelves to the malt and rigging, and remained there a confiderable time, not fifty yards from the fhorc, in fight of many fpeetators ' who, in vain, attempted relief, but w ere unable to afford any, from the violence oldie form and tremendous forge of the fea, and melancholy to relate, the pilot, paffengcrs, and crew, were all unfortunately drowned,except one, who was wafh ed on fhore nearly exhaufted, but was happily recovered. The tide flowed near fix feet higher than mentioned in the Tide Table. The devalla tion committed by the form on the houfes in the town are beyond defcription, fcarcely any but re tains tome marks of its unprecedented fury; fifteen new built linall houfes in Chitrenholme-Greet, and other ft reets in the neighbourhood of Vauxhall-road were levelled to the ground; the roof of a gentle, man's houfe in Bold-ftreet was beat in, by the Rack of chimneys falling, which htoke through the roof and floors down to the tea-room ; another houfe, in Price's-fireet, fuffered the like difafter, in which a woman in the loft Rage of pregnancy was killed by the ruins whiltt in bed with her huf band and two children, the latter efcaped with Come contufions ; a gentleman in Ranelagh-greet had not quitted his bed many minutes before it was completely covered by the chimneys, which falling, penetrated through the roof ; but the molt wonderful mark of prefervation was' that of a gentleman in his bed at Everton, who, by the Falling of the chimneys, was entirely overwhelmed by them, but, as if by the Ipecial care of PROVI. DENCR, two of the large coping fonts from the chimney top fell in filch a manner as to form a kind of arch over his head, and thereby preferved his life ; a contufion and feveral bruifes were the unavoidable confequence, but we are happy to fay that he is in a fair way of recovery, though the weight of the rubbifh was to great as to break the bedilocks on which he lay, and to force a, pirage trough the floor into the room below; the houfes in Bedford-greet Harrington, Edge-hill t Low-hill, and Everton, and their neighbourhoods, have fuffered feverely in their roofs and windows, many of them being completely uncovered, and the garden walls levelled with the gtound ; indeed there is fcarcely any part of the town that has .efcaped its fury - the fame, we learn, has been the cafe in all t he neighbouring townfhips :in Halewood many trees torn up by the roots and barns thrown down or uncovered ; in Simondfwood, a new built brick-houfe, and many other houfes, barns, and fhippons, thrown down and completely deftroyed ; in Down Holland, we alto learn, the like difatier took place, as well as at Crolby ; and the venerable church of Sefton, that has flood upwards of toco years, has loft about 5 feet of its fpirc, with the weather vane, which is blown down on the body of the building. The fame form, we find, has extended itf,elf as far as Lan. caller, Chelter, Shrewtbury, and Manchetter, but, we are happy to fay, that we flatter ourfelves the hurricane has not reached far to the weftward, as on Friday (the day after the form) two ;effels .came in from fea with each a top-gallant yard acrofs. The Minerva, Lvott, from Grenada for Gxec• - ock, was drove on fhore in Studvrelli road; tl•e aoth init. and full of water; the Captain lased. oine of the crew and fix from (bore drowned.. U II I
