Yefterday Government received difpatches from Mr. PMPOINT, the Britifli Minifler, at the Court of Stockholm. Thefe difpatches Rate the difcovery of a projera of Bormaars, to extend the French fron tier on the fide of Holland—the Batavian Govern. ment to receive in return a flight portion of PrufGan territory, and Prafia to receive a compenfatioa from the Eledorate of Hanover. Bommel and the Belle have been named as part of the new boundary, but this can hardly be corresl, unlefs they mean to take all the Dutch Hands, and the whole of Brabant—But why not ?—BonaPARTI is in every refpett, except in name, the Mailer of Holland. An extenfion of the French boundary on that fide can forprife no one—no perfon that has at tended at all to the Repsthat have been uniformly fol lowed by France iontaintain:he 6a/emcee/power ! During the late war the Rhine, being" the boundary pointed out by Nature as the proper limits of France on that fide," became indifpenfably neceffary to her for main taining the balance of power. For the fame folid reafon the pnffefGon of Savoy on the South became alfn neceffary—and a new form of Government for Switzerland indifpenfable. France, in her great love for the welfare of man kind, could not refufe to linen to the folicitations of the Genoefe to be united to France ; and hence it be came necellary for the balance of (her) power that Come additional territories lhould be obtained at the other end of her dominions.—Happy thofe Dutch men who are to be thus taken under the paternal wing of the Great Emperor of the Great Nation !! A farther extention of French dominion on the South will foon be declared; and then it will become neceC fary to add another portion of the Batavian territories on the North. YePterday morning Mr. KIT, one of his Mai s STY'S Meffengers, arrived at Lord Mo LO RAVE'S Office with difpatches from Lord GRANTILLI LEVISanc Cows', the Ambaff.tdor at St. Peterfburgh.

Four regi ments of infantry, it was undsrflood, would accom pany him—the 89th, 93d, Stb, and 83d. The tranf ports at Cove, not employed in this embarkation, were to return to Portfmoutb. The 24th regiment was to difembark, and to do duty at Middleton. A letter from Cork fags, two encampments are to e formed, one of 19 regiments of infantry, and all he flank battalions, fuppofed to amount to sli.ooo men, at the Curragh, and another of 6000, on Cork Mountain.

You cannot think how glad lam that we arc ping any where from this terribly idle place; idle I muft call it, fee we are poked up in a fhip, doing nothing but looking at the rocks and cabins." A letter from Holland Rates, that a Scar Expe dition, upon a very large fcale, is abont :o f ail from the Helder. The troops deflined for this ex sedition confill of 9000 men, 4000 of whom wire French, and sOOO Dutch, with a large train of heavy artil lery. There were a variety of conjedures in Hol land rerpsaing the detlination of this force, if they !Mould be fortunate enough to efcape the fleet block ading the Texel ; but the general opinion feemed to be, that an attempt would be made upon Scotland or Ireland. The late capture by the Spaniards of the Swedilh thip Cerberd, bound from Hull to Melfina, as alfo of two Americans from Liverpool, and of the con d: nnation of their cargoes, has fully afcertained, that the Spaniards will not allow neutral Mips to snake neutral cargoes. On Weanefday morning, an Admiralty Court was held at Rochetter, under the direaion of W. Nt ' cifosaoa, Efq. Mayor, and proceeded on board the city yacht, for the ceremony of opening the oyfler grounds. A number of vettels of every defcription attended, with colour, flying, and bands playinz.— Guns placed on the different wharfs down the bled gray,faluted the flotilla asthey patted.

EXTRACT OP ♦ LETTER FR( ♦N OFFICIR ON BOARD LORD NELSON'S FL'AO SHIP, THE VICTORY, TO • FRIEND IN LONDON, DATED " Antigua, Jesse ts, Since our arrival at Barbadoes on the 4th inf. we have bees daily emceed with the hope of meeting the enemy. who were at Martinique from the 14th May to June 6, with a boat and army equal to the redtunion of all our Mends in that time. then our arrival at Barbadoes, intelligence was received, that they had failed the aEth May to attack Trinidad. Two thou. fand troops were embarked on board our fquadron under General Myers, and on the morning of the sth we failed to t h e South ward, having been joined by Rear Admiral Cochrane, with two Chips of the line. On the 6th we were near Tobago, which ifland was to much alarmed at our appearance, that the °lipping run to- wards Grenada fur better prat eCtion, and upon our exchange of Glutei with the fort, reported the illand to have been attaeked.—. Here we learned from an America& brig that he was hoarded three days ago by one of the frigates of the enemy's fleet, then Reeling towards Trinidad, and that be fuppofsd they would pats Tobago the evening before ; our courfe was immediately limped for Trinidad, with a certainty of meeting the enemy in the mor ning, and when day-light appeared, we direovered that the Wand was under alarm, and notwitbftaoding all the Opals we , could make, we could not prevent the troops in Fort Abercrombie blowing up the Fort, and making their retreat towards the town. This circumftance confirmed us in the opinion that the enemy bad arrived and carried the !Hand, but upon our entering the harbour found the EngliOs colours flying, and that we were the fupptied enemy. Finding our information was ineorredt, nothing was lek a us but to go to the Northward, taking all our Blends in their turn. On Sunday we reached Grenada, where we found the fen frigate, which on Thurfday had ken the enemy's Beet fleeting North towards Guadeloupe, having left Martinique the fame morning. This information rellc►ed us greatly, as after fo long a chafe we found ourfelves not more than three days fail after them, and if they meditated an attack upon Antigua, or elfewhere, we I thould certainly reach them. Monday we puffed our Mods, St. Vincent and St. Lucia, without any further informatioo. Today we eonununkated with Montkrrat, from whence the enemy were fees on Saturday, fteering Northward, fuppofed to attack Anti• gun, as they had reported that they anchored at Gaadakupe to take on board mortars, Ste. We were alfo amu fed by another American, who told us that be had ken in the morning ten fall wider Guadeloupe, fteering t o the Southward; but as every Ame rican leads us altray, we continued our courfe towards Antigua, and this morning difpatches reached us from Lord Lavingtem, the Governor, confirming the information from Montkrrat, that the enemy were gone Northward, and were ken from Antigua on Saturday evening very diftintftly ; we have therefore little doubt but they have &aped their merle homewards, as from all ac counts they have already loft one-fourth of the (cameo and fid dlers who came out in the fleet, and the rainy karma is juft commencing, which will prevent any operations on more, and fix weeks hence the hurricane months commence, ofwhtch the French have ever had the great& dread. From every arcumaarme, we are therefore led to fear, that they are now four days fail a-head of us, upon their courfe to Europe, and no doubt are running from oar (quadrat) as fait as poffible, of the arrival of which at Barba does they received information on the sth, and communicated that information to Dominique the next morning. We were ken two days after we palled Madeira by one of their frigates left upon the look out, which arrived at Martinique on the sth, end confirmed the information they had already received from their friends at Barbadoes. All our movements are known to them, whilft every information obtained by us is calculated to lead us aftray. We are juft now going to land our troops at Antigua, from whence we take our departure for Gibraltar, and the only remaining hope is, that we may fail fo much falter than the ene my, that in a diftance of raoo leagues we may arrive off Cecile before them—but this is a forlorn hope. " I have little doubt but much abide has been heaped upon us in London, where people do sot ufually admit the impoifibility of contending with the elements; certainly no fleet was ever more favoured than they have been, In every circumftance, nor any one more oppufed than we, before we quitted the Mediterranean; but perfeverauce has at lait brought us fo dote to them, that we have certainly fsved the Weft India Wands, as no doubt can now be entertained but that their capture was the grand oiled of their expedition, which, by our arrival, has completely failed, with the lora, from all accounts, of Come thoufands of men ; to compel). fate which, they have taken the Cyan floop of war, of 16 guns, and the rsarbadoes outward.bound packet. Our fleet continue perfe‘ftly healthy, and as a few days will carry us out of there burning regions before the fickly kens) commences, I truft we Mall continue fo."

The Regiment prefented arms on the arrival of his Royal Highnefs, when he commenced the infpeehon by proceeding down the line, and returning up the rear, and on taking his Ration in the front, the Regiment pafred by his Royal Highnefs in ordinary and quick time, formed the line, and went through a variety cf manoeuvres, with the whole of which his Royal Highnefs appeared per fatly fatisfied. Previous to the departure of the Partici, the Regiment prefented arms, when his Royal Highnefs exprefred to Lord Hartaracrow his warm approbation, and taking Colonel AwDßrws by the band, requefted of him a return of the number of men under arms, which amounted to upwards of four hundred. His Royal Highnefs, accompanied by the Earl of HARRINGTON, and other Genet al Officers, adjourned to Colonel ANDREWS' houfe, where a fump tuous dinner was provided, during which the band played feveral favourite Airs and marches. There was yellerday on the River a grand exhibi• Lion of naval and military taffies; the River Fenci bles and one of the London Regiments went up to Wandfworth by water. One party was landed Come time before the other. There was then a well con tefted ftruggle for the landing of the other. After the ufual manauvres the whole fat down comfortably to dinner on the turf. Tuefday a rural dinner, on the Down near Huai, was enjoyed by Major BLOOMTIRLD, Gen. Jonwson, and a party of Ladies and Gentlemen, in number amounting to nearly thirty, in marquees, purpofely pitched for their accommodation.

This piece is from the pen of Mr. CH MY, author of the popular Comedy of the &defier': Daughter. Se- ' , veral charaders arc introduced, well fuited to difplay that felfifh and interelled condud fo often found in the village, and to expofe the miflaken notion of thofe who idly fuppofe the country to be the only feat of innocence, candour, and generofity. Though there. were many good ttrokes of humour in the piece, it did not appear to give univerfal fatisfadion, and ie Ac tors were iatetrupted more than once by the 'cry of, " Off, off ;" but, upon an appeal to the candour of the houfe, by Mr. ELLISTON, the piece was Coffered to gn on to a clofe.
