The Otway, STEWART, from Jamaica, is arrived at Liverpool : (he failed with the fleet on the 4th of July, confiffing of about 160 fail, got through the Gulol about the zstb, -and ;Naiad from them three weeks (ince in lat. 25, long. 60. Captain STEWART thinks that one of the fleet (a brig) was captured off Cayman. The report circulated fome days ago, of the Dutch fleet having put to fea, is unfounded. 4 private letter from Rotterdam, dated the I Bth infl. fays— " The fleet is (till in the Texel, but according to an accounts is in reaainefs for lea : the troops em barked amount to t 6,500 men ; thcfe at Helvoet were reviewed on the ith ; they have a numerous train of artil! v, and it is generally fuppofed are aellined for the Ea ft Indies. Several frelh battalions arc on their route from different garrifons for the camp at Zeill, from which draughts are to be made to reinforce the army in Hanover. " BONAPARTE, it is Paid, proceeds from Bruffels to Luxemburgh, and thence into Alfacc and Lorrain, to review the troops there. From Plombieres, the Emprefs, who has been benefited by the waters, ac 7 companies him to Paris. " An extenfive promotion is about to take place in the French army. " The feparate armies of Generals SOULT, Nor and Davouar, on the coati, have been united into one corps, under the orders of General Beare a se.— This army has received a new organization, as well as the artillery and the cavalry, under BARAGUAY d'hitcziaas. " The difcuffions which were carrying on between TALLEYRAND and Count Cosswrzst. have, we are Allred by private letters from Paris, affumed a very angry afped. A war with Auftria and Ruffia is cnntidered inevitable, and the affernb/ement of troops on the Rhine and in Savoy befpeak its early com tnencement." Admiral DE[let has been mfpited till December, when their High Mightinefres meet again. It is (fated in the Dutch papers, under the date Corunna, 17th July, that there were there and at Ferrol ten Spanifh and five French fail of the lime, kind five fiigates, ready for fea ; au embargo then prevailed along the Spann coati in that neighbour hood. The account of the defeat of the combined fleet had excited the moll lively joy throughout Sweden. The plan of the war ahuut to be commenced by Rullia has been projeded by the Gran] Duke Com srawriss, who is to hay: a diffingii:flied (hare in the dire&ion of it. The veteran Vow Bev xmosvogw, G‘ivernor General of Lithuania, has been called 1: um Riga, to Ail: in the difeuffion of this plan, and to give effeB to it. Pruffia is bulled adding to the fortifications of Dantaic, and conffruding new works ova the Viffula. By private accounts from Peterfburgh we learn, :;mat war was confidered there as unavoidable, and rery poaible preparation was making for entering .to the conteß with promptitude and vigour. Three gips of the line were about to fail for this country asel the Mediterranean. The Mailer of a vegel, kill arrived from Peterf .nrgh, which place be left on the ryth ult. reports, a, when he failed, the Ruffians were making every iertion to s et their (hips of war ready for fea, and Ia t they were taking up veffels for the purpofe of 'barking an army. No fartUr intelligence has reached the Admiralty :Ring, the Combined Fleets. We believe they lye not *Feu feen fine the evening of the 13th, ..ven they were decried by the late.

His Royal Highnefs was born on the 25th of November, 1743, and was created a Duke and Earl by patent, on the 17th November, 176 4. He was married on the 6th of September, 1766, to MARIA, Countefs Dowager of WALDEGRAVE, and daughter of the Hat nourable Sir ROBERT WALroLr, Knight of the Bath, by whom he had three children, viz. Surat* MA TILDA, born May 29, 1 773; CARGLIKR AUGUSTA Matte, born June z 4., 1774, and died March 14, 1775; and WILLIAM FREDERICK, born at Rome, Ja nuary 15, 1776, a Lieutenant-General in the army, and Colonel of the 6th Regiment of Font. His Royal Highnefs was a liberal promoter of charitable and ufeful inflitutions ' He was patron of the Free Ma-1 tons Charity, 'and of the Naval Afylum, and Pre& dent of the London finfpital. His Royal Highnefs was the late of the four Princes, who, with the Kiwo, ccmpofed the male idue of Fainealeo Prince of Wales. Hi ;oval Highnefa's marriage with the Dowager Codtitefs of WALDIRGRAVII, occationed the famous Marriay- Aft, which prevents any of the Royal Family from intermarrying with a fubje&. The Duke's conflitution was naturally very deli cate fo much fo, that at'an early period of life, he was compelled to leave hitt native country for the milder air of Italy, and refide at Rome for feveral years, where, as we have already fated, Prince WIL LIAM now Duke of GLo tic est e e was bo r n.
