The generous efforts of that Gentleman have at length been crowned with their merited fuccefs ; one fixteenth of the three hundred and twenty thoufrod pounds, voted by Parliament, as a reward to the brave failors who conquered at Trafalgar, for the loft of their , prises, has beep appropriated fr:r the ufe of thefe Is dies, and has already been invefted in their name in the public funds, the interest of adrich will make a very handforne addition to their income. While we applaud the well timed liberality of Government, we cannot withhold the meed of praife from the man who bas fa warmly interefled himfelf in favour of thofe Ladies. In this bufinefs, his Royal Highnefs the PRINc a of WaLes, interefled himfelf with a zealous afaluity, highly creditable to his feelings, and which cannot but prove extremely gratifying to the country. His Royal Highnefs, who was highly gratified with the difinterefted interference of Mr. GOLDIrMID, on this occafion, is tn.ditte with that Gentleman on the 22d inflant, at his elegant Villa at Morden, where we underlland great preparations are making for the entertainment of the Prince and his R..yal Brothers. Some of the firft Nobility are likewife to be of the party. This day a Courier arrived from St. Peterfburgh with difpatches for the Ruffian Minifter here, and alto for our Cabinet. .He came from Gottenburgh with the Mails, two of which have arrived. He reached Gortenburgh on the 27th ulr. in nine days from Peterfburgh, and failed the next day. The contents of thefe difpatchea have not tranfpired. By the mails we learn, that the, Ru(lian army is all in cantonments, ready to be called forth at a moment's notice. A large body of Ruffian troops is Rill upon the Polifh frontiers. Accounts from the French coall (late, that fome bußle is agail cbfervable in the Works at Boulogne, where it is fail a part of the troops lately garrifoned in Helland have arrived. The thing is probable enough. A little demindration of this kind may be thought ufelul at the p►efent moment. We cannot believe, however, that it will have the lead effe.f in inducing our Government to make thole conceffions which this manceuvre may be intended to procure. THE EXPEDITIONS. B y onr l etters ff om the Coati this morning, we learn that the Iranfpnrts which failed a few d.tys ago from the D.,wtis for Portfnu.uth have again put back by contrary winds. Antther attempt w.. 4 made to fail yetterday, but owing to want of wind they we e ..hli 4e.1 once mire to come to anchor. CeneralOaars is now at Plymouth waiting the 9rtiv..l of the tranfpotts which ate 13 call there from Put tfinouth, when he will immediately embark. ANIERICAN PAPERS. We can now (late p, , ti ;rely, that there was no truth in the accounts received fp in Newfoundl.ind, of the c.iptuic of an ATM; iCAII Itignle by the Li At • init. New Y t k pipers have becif teceived t-1 the 6th ult. which ;mac no met.ti , n I an) filch circum• glance. They contain but little intelligence of any kind. In fpeaking of MtRAWDA'S expedition, they eonti• toe to fay that it has unlearned: but our left ac count; refpeeing it, from the Wen Indies, are of much later date than thole received through Ame tica. The latter, however, flee that the capture vf his two fehooners. while it weakened his force, and • incapacitated MIRANDA from proceeding on his ex. pedition. alio enabled the Spaniards to put the Ca. nem in a flare of defence, and that the Military • have been all matched down to the coat, fully pre. pared to meet the event of his attack.

The ground, however, is (and, and the fortifications, including two immenfe ditches, are confidered im pregnable. The (grit which the Prince has chrifen for his habitation, flews his contempt of danger. It is a (mall guarcflioufe, which he has fitted up upon the external line of batteries, next to the belies's& It is fcarccly fufficient to accommodate himfelf and two or three (eke and confidential, of f icers, who • compote his faire.
