The following Letter, received this morning at Lloyd's, will put the public in poireflivn of all that is yet known refpaiing the reported evacuation of Dominica : " GENTLEMEN, " LIVER Pnnt., APR': 20. 66 For the information of the public at large, I take the opportunity to inform you, that I failed from Demerara, in the (hip Demerara, on the sth of March, and patted Batb:midis on the Bth late in the evening : in palfing Carlifle Bay, a boat cone off with Mr. HUTTON and Mr. DARE on board, who remained with me about half an hour; they are both Gentlemen of refpeElability, and well known to the merchants of Liverpool—they informed me, that the laft account they had of the French force was, that they had left Dominica after having cap tured and burnt all the (hips at Roffeau, and ex ailed from the inhabitants of that place and the country adjacent, a large fum. As we ran down along the Ifland about nine or ten at night, we beard many guns firing, which we fuppofed was an alarm for a flrange fleet. My reafon for addreffing you this is, that I have teen my name in the London and Provincial Papers, to reports which were not carrel. The only further accounts I had, was the capture of an African veffel, called the Minerva, which had been taken off Surinam, and part of the flaves taken out by the privateer: the Minerva was after w4ras recaptured, and is arrived at Barbadoes.

WINDSOR, SUND4r ETENINa. During the whole of Saturday company continued coming into Windfor ; before night every one of the inns were full, and many of the pi ivate boats where lodgings had been taken. The Foot Guards had a grand field day. In the evcning there was the ap pe.iranec of a jubilee in the towns of Windfor and 1 Eton ; the (trees were crowded, and in every ftreet or lane there was dancing or tinging—we had ballad. fingers, violin-players, organs, bag-pipes, and all flrts of noires. • SUNDAY.—This proved a fine day for the grand parade in the large fquare of the Celle. At half part nine the regiment of Horfe Guards and the Foot Guards were drawn up ; the two fine bands of the Foot Guards played, to the amufement of a prodi• gious concourfe of genteel company. Precifely at half pail ten his MAJESTY appeared, attended by the Dukes of YORK, KENT, Castartmcs, and CUMBER. LAND, Lord DARTMOUTH, a great many of the No bility, and feveral Military and Naval Officers ; among them we obferved Sir SYDNEY SMYTH.

After this the three younger Peincelfes and their attendants walked by the line to St. George's Chapel. The Chapel was very much crowded; we had a diltind view of every thing, the preparations being now completed. The (teen's Throne is magnificent; it is on the left of the altar, very large, and of crim fon velvet. Some of the upper banners are new and malt elegant. The King and Q2een did not walk to Frogmore, as ufual on Sunday. The crowd of company on the Terrace was very great. PREPARATIONS FOR THE INSTALLATION.

COVENT GARDEN.--M 2 ter BETTY, on Saturday, appeared at this Theatre in a new charader, that of Ofman, in the tragedy of Zara ; of his performance of which we have nearly the fame remarks to make as of his 7ancred: it is phytically out of his reach, though his exertions are wonderful, and his c,ocep tion of the part, throughout, is perfeCtly corre.ft. In fame paffages, he foared on Saturday nizht, beyond all competition ; while in others, he teemed illmott ex hautied by the efforts which he made to convince the audience that he undetitood his author. He wa , , ad mirably well dreffed, and looked taller than ufual. C, KsmeLE's Neqlon, HAkGKAVE ' S I.l . , figran, and Mrs. H. Si neoxs's Zara, were very rcfpatable per formances. The Houfe was as ufual, completely crowded. Comte, it Teems, was playing at Portfmouth on the evening that the audience expefted his appearance At Covent Garden, having previoutly ohtatned p;r million for that purpsfe, although the circumtlanca appears to have Leen afterwards forgotten at the Flwat rt. • Mr. HOUGH, the theatrical inflruelor of Little BETTY, having been ditiniffed faun the toils of tu• torage, has obtained a comfortable fituation as Prompter under the management of S 1 EPH FM KVA. LF, with whom he was enga g ed in the fame capacity many years ago. • KENSINGTON GARDENS.---Yefterday die Gardens were extremely crowded ; but, notwithfianding the finenefs of the day, the thew of female fathion was comparatively thin ,• the cotiume of the Ladies teem ed as yet to have affumed no decided charaFteriitic, but fill to wear the appearance tifually Riled demi failbn, and to have taken the ton rather from the tem perature of perfonal Conflitution, than from any fig nal of leading talk. Sicilian habits, pelices of fable velvet, and even large tippets of bear-fkin, were prevalent, though many of the wearers carried para foli. The Span ilh hat and cloa! were alto much worn : the fro-trier of leaver or coloured chip, with oflricl, feather: or various colours ; the latter of purple or pale hue fill, or fancy muffins, which were in general very talleftil and elegant. The drive in Hyde Park was extremely thronged with voiture: of ton, and Rolla: roc; had a full parade of fathionable cavalry. The young Lady, who eloped from a bail on Dion day night, was traced to a village near Salifbury, where, on Wednefday, the was married. The ler vant who followed her thiqler, arrived an hour after the ceremony. Her father has forgiven her want of confidence and duty, and the is now on her return to town with her hufband. The enjoyment of funlhine was a predominant will: of DIOCENES ; but modern philolophers are more wife!y anxious to obtain the jrm2•iee of Fo-luce. The reacon is obvious; they know that the latter will beak; brightnefs even co the tztort gloomy months of the year. Now, it opportunely•happans, that the nee: month, the all-genial month of May, will not only abound with natural funlhine, but with the forilhiae of Fortune into the bargain. The fplendid luminary of the approaching grand Lottery is in full proof. Many adventurers will balk in its cheering rays—in a funlhine, in fhort, that can fuddenly bring tore• tune's Votaries out of objeurity, ami make them /7:.: in the fphere of the wealthy.
