An order has been given by Government, to a principal broker in the Dutch trade, to engage vef tels failing under Pruflian flags for three months. The order is not limited to any number of veffels to be engaged, nor does it fpecify the fervice for which they are wanted, viz. whether for the conveyance of troops, provifions, or forage. Be this as it may, the contra is fiipulated for three months, to pay 151. per ton per month. The Tstsums frigate, which carried out General DoN and Suite, has returned to the Downs. She was not allowed to come into port, but ordered out again to join a fcluadron with the ADAMANT in put- Ink of two French frigates. From the TRIBUNE were landed a King's Meffen. ger with difpatches, And a Pruffian Officer of high rank, alfo the bearer of important difpatches from the Court of Berlin. They have both arrived fine in Town. The nature of their difpatches has not tranfpired, bet they are believed to 'elate to the ar ragements now making with the Pruffian Cabinet. Our accounts from Deal differ in their flatement vefpeeting the French frigates alluded to above: one Corrtfpondent lays, they are from Mead ; another Paps, from the Tcsel ; and, a third dates, that they are from Flu thing. Be that as it may, ftrong hopes are entertained that they will not efcape the vigilance of our cruizing fquadrons ; for fignals have been made all along the coaft to have them intercepted. Difpatches were received laft night from Admiral Lord en_LLINGWOOD. Shortly after their arrival, Mr. MAISDIN, Secretary to the Admiralty, fent the following communication to the Loan MAYOR, and to the Matter of Losvn's Coffee•Houfe COPY. " ADMIRALTY OFFICE, NOVEMBER 15, rEos. " By a difpatch received this evening from Vice- Admiral COLLINGWOON via Liffiod; dated off Cadiz the 28th oh. it appears, that owing to the violence of the wind, be had not fucceeded in bringing off any of the prizes made in the aftion of the exit. He ex preires his hope that by the following day he fhould complete the deftrudion of the whole, excepting the Santa Anna, which was towed into Cadiz by a frigate. It further appears, that when Admiral GaaviMa put to fea again, in order to protoft the difabled (hips, the Prince of Aftorias (his flag fhip) and the Rayo, another three decker, were difmafted, and the latter fell into our hands. The number of Officers killed and wounded in his Majefty's (hips, from which re turns were received, was much (mailer than had been apprehended. Their names will be publifhed in the Gazette of to-morrow evening." (A true Copy.) (Signed) JaMes SHaw, Mayor. To the Mafter of Lloyd's, Manfaoo Houk, Nor. rs, aos, eight o'clock, P. M.

One arrived lat night, brought by the Walfingham packet, for the fifety of which fotne apprehenfions were entertained. It was by this conveyance that Government received the difpatches from Admiral Lo-a COL LIP. CWOOD. Another Mail arrived this morning, which bas brought us the following letters refpeaing the battle off Txefalgar : " LtszoN, Nov. 4.—The glorious vitlory of Tre talgar, has been cekbrated here by three nights illu• minations at the hoofer of the Englifh. The flaugh tcr on board GREVI/lA'S fhip, was no lefs than 300 men killed (including 16 Officers), and 234 wounded.

GOTTiNBIAGM MAILS. Three Gottenburgh Mails arrived yefterday after noon. The accounts broughtby thefe confirm the arri valof the King of Swum. at Stralfund, accompanied by Baron ARIATILDT j the Englifh Ambaffador, Mr. Plattattrourr, it appears, met him there. An army confining of twenty five thoufand Swedes and twenty five thoufand Ruffians, immediately prepared to march, and are to be under the immediate command of his Swaim Mayastv in perfon, who has iffued a fpirited Proclamation on the occafion. His Swedifh Majefty will have under him the Ge nerals AILMFELDT and WACHNINSTaIt, as alto Gene rats Baron TAIWAST and Von Vtaasec ß. About 17 fail of veffels under convoy of the Prince William armed fhip, have put into Gotten burgh, where they arc detained by weilerly winds. FRENCH AND DUTCH JOURNALS. We have received the Monittur of the Bth, and the (mailer French papets to the loth init. alto the Dutch papers to the 14th, from which we have given ample extrafts. The Official Journal contains the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Bulletins of the Grand Army, and the T bird of the Army of Italy. The Bulletins of the Grand Army are dated from the Head•Q!arters at Braunau, on the Inn, which was occupied by Lamm ES, on the 29th ult. On the following day BERNADOTTI entered Saltzburgh. Thefe columns compofed the left and right wings of the French army. They have advanced their but poßs, the left particularly, a confiderable way into the Hereditary States, and their centre appears to be moving forward to fupport them. Little or no re. fiflance feems to have been oppofed to them, and we do not find that, among the four or five hundred pd. foneis which they affert to have made, a tingle Gan is included. It becomes more apparent, from every freffi infor tnation refpeaing the movements of the French ar my, that BONATAILTII intended to turn the Ruffians on the Inn. They have, luckily, had prudence enough to fall back, and the operations of the Frcnch have, confequently, not fncceeded to the extent that was expe.led. It is acknowledged by the French that they begin to be ftraitened far provifions ; the longer, therefore, the Block of battle is protraaed, the better for the Allied Army. The French army was called fo fuddenly to the Rhine, and has been fo rapid in its movements fence it crolred that River, that the formation of magazines of any extent was impoffible. Bavaria has been almoft exhaulted by the refidence of the French and Auftrias armies, Ihort as it has been. The Fifteenth Bulletin has karcely any thing of a military charatter in it. It is, in truth, little better than a paltry libel againil Auflria, Ruffia, and Eng land, framed for the vain and felfiffi population of Paris, and little likely to produce much effea in any other part of France. The army of Italy does not keep pace in its pro. grefs with its brother in Germany. The third bulle tin Is dated from Vago, and contains an account of what Missies defcribes to be a general aelion, in which he boalls to have taken 3500 prifoners. It is (Irene, however, that not a Jingle piece of cannon, ammunition waggon, or (lam:lard, appears to IN -- e been captured in this battle, in which the 1.4 ), of both armies were engaged. The following curious extraft refpesL 1:e ~:,:on off Trefalgar is copied from the jOurna. dz. ' of the gth : ENGAGEMENT lIETAVIEN THE COMBINED AND ENGLISH rLSETS. It has been rumoured, on the authority of rr;vate letters, for fotne days, that there has been an Lion off the coati of Spain, between the Combined Fleets of France and Spain, and the Engliffi Squadron. Ac cording to there accounts, the French fquadron, com manded by Admiral Vii.t.tasuve, and the Spanifh by Admiral Gaavtas, came out of Cadiz, on the 18th or Igth of laR month, when they were fallen in with by the Englifh fleet, under the command of Admiral Net.sos. A molt bloody action took place, in which both fleets fought with the greaten determi nation, and in which each of them fuffered moll feverely. Towards the end of the engagement a violent form came on, which difperfed the (hips. Tt is reported, that out Spanifh and one Engliffi fhip were blown up. It is alfo reported, that Come of the Commanders were killed or dangetoufly wounded. But thefe private letters, coming from no authentic' , fource, it would he imprudent lightly to fpread an alarm, for which, perhaps, there is no foundation— and it would be proper to fufpend opinions until the official intelligence full give fame pofitive information refpeding this important event. —journal du Commerce.

Bow sra I/BT.—A difturbance in two of the boxes in Covent garden Theatre took place on Thurfday evening, during the performance of the principal part of the fecond aft of the new Comedy. —Yefterday morning, the parties attended at the above Office, to obtain warrants againft each other when they happening to be prefent at the fame time. it was agreed to have the bufinefs inveftigated ; when it appeared, that Mr. H. Johnfon, the performer, was in one of the boxes where the difturbance arofe ; in the next box were two Cyprians, in company with two gentlemen ; the women frequently looking through an opera-glafs, ridiCuling Mrs. H. Johnfon 's drefs, and talking very loud. The gentlemen ridicu ling the charaaers and the performers as they came on the Qage, in fuch a loud tone r)f voice as to annoy the company. Mr. Johnflon and' feveral others cal. led out for filence, but in vain. Mr. Johnflon, at length, was about to leave the box for a conftable to turn the parties out. On his quitting the box, ho neceifelly touched one of the parties, when a fcufile enfued, in which both parties had their clothes torn. and Mr. Johann gave his antagonift a violent black eye. The evidence was very contrAdielory as to who gave the firs blow, but the majority of witneffes being,in favour of Mr. Johann, Mr. BOND recom mended Mr. jukes, who had received the black eye, to thake hands, which Mr. Jnhniton agreed to, but which was declined by Mr. Jukes, and it was agreed the bufinefs thotild nand over till the evening Mr. BOND gave the other gentleman An was in company with the woman a fevere reprimand for his improper cOndigi ; who faid he had been to the The atre every night, when Mr. Remble and Mrs. Sid dons performed, and could not endure to fee any of Reynolds's produftions. Mr. BOND told him he muff not go to the Theatre I to annoy the whole audience, becaufe he may not happen to like the Author. In the evenin, about half pall (even o'clock, Mr. J. and Mr. r. H. Johnfton, with the pieties, and their friends, attended before Mr. Born, and Sir Wu.. Liam Patsows, when feveral other gentlemen, in addition to thole in the morning, who were near the fpot, attended, but their evidence did not throw any new light on the fubjell. The Magiftrates again re commended the parties to make up the bufinefs. They conflated for a few minutes, when one of Mr. J.'s friends propofed, that Mr. Johnflon fhould make a public apology in the Theatre. One of Mr. John non's friends exclaimed, he withed he might break his neck, fooner than fubmit to this. The parties were then ordered to find bail, to appear at the SeC. fions. As the matter is to become the fubjelt of legal in. veftigation, we !hall fay nothing upon it, except that we could with the refult may tend to rid the boxes of a fpecies of nuifance, which has of late increafed greatly, and threatens to drive all decent company from a quarter of the Theatre, formerly (eke, but now a prey to indecency and impertinence. ANONYMOUS LNTTSILS AND PARCELS. Mr. Wallace, who keeps the Ale Cellar, in Spring Gardens, attended before the Magifirates, and need. that he had lately been put to confiderable expence and trouble, in confequence of feveral anonymous letters and parcels being fent to him. He produced a number of letters figned Richard Crofaley, fent from different parts of the country, and for which lie had double pofiage to pay. Yefierday morning he received a parcel, very fecurely packed up, by a porter, for which he paid a chilling . Af te r t h e por ter was gone, on opening it, the contents proved to be a human (hull, feveral human bones, four empty bottles, and a box with Tome teeth in it. The fol. . - lowing bill of parcels was packed with them-- To three-quarters of afkull, with two teeth in the upper jaw - - 1 10 To a quantity of bones in good prefervatioa - o is o To four bottles of their valuable contents - o so 6 To a box ul teeth, in good order - - . o 7 0 4.3 *4 Mr. Wallace further Rated, that he was lately fent for to the Society for the Suppreffion of Vice, be ac cordingly went, when the Secretary was very polite, and thanked him, in the name of the Society, for his ext•rti..ns to have the caufe in which they were en gaged : and they wifhed for a little further informa tion.. This language appeared very myfterious to Mr. W. and he told the Secretary he was a (ranger to what he alluded : the Secretary, in his turn, was allunifbed that Mr. W. did nut underhand him, and he produced a letter, purporting to be figned by Mr. Wallace, giving information, that a brother publican of the name of Crofsley, in the Haymarket, kept a diforderly honk. And on infpchion, it proved to be the fame hand-writing ; although they evidently were a feigned hand. Mr. Wallace affured the Secretary, k was a forgery, and that be did not believe his Neighbour k:pt a diforderly houfe. The Magifi rates afked Mr. Wallace, if he fufpeded any perfon ? He replied, he did not raped any in• dividual, as he had not given °hence to any p er f on to induce them to behave fo to him , but he fufp e it e d the letters to be fent him by a club that met at Crofs ley's houfe, called the Humbug Club. The Magiftrates told Mr. Wallace, they could Dot siic him any affiftaace,
