The Diana packet, arrived from Jamaica, touched Ili Crooked Hand 16th September, and found Pitts 'AlWA nearly demoliihed by a dreadful hurricane.— The Spaidwell, of Liverpool, was wrecked on the north part of the ifland—crew raved. An American b r i g ...is alfo wrecked ; the crew and paffengers, 14 in number, 1011. This packet has brought Papers and Letters to 7th September. No farther accnnnts had been received of Mutating's (needs; but he had fent to Jamaica for reinforce:net:its, which however had been refilled, becattfe no intlruflions to that effeet had been reeeiv. ed from England. THE NAVY. Our Reeder' in general, but more particularly our Naval, will rejoice to learn, that the gallant Sir tAMORL HOOD is rapidly recovering, under the very skilful treatment of Surg.l.nn \ratite. of the Haflaar Hofpital, and Surgeon DALIY, of the CENTAUR. Sir SANDIA now daily walks out ; Lady HOOD re tnainii with him at his houfe at Ryde. It is ezpeded that his recovery will have been fo far advanced in ten day' a. to enable him to take the command of a naval expedition intended for him before his rencontre with the French frigates. Ir is in agitation to increafe the pay of a very me ritorious clafsa—the higher Medical Officers of the Navy, particularly the Hofpital Surgeons, who at relent receive a very inadequate pay. It it not improbable, but that fome change may take place in the Naval commands in the Indian Seas. We regret to hear that the be underttanding does not ;silt between fame Officers on that nation. Sir ER ARMOR GOWER is about to return from the Newfoundland Ration, to which command another Officer will soon be appointed. THE BARRACK DEPARTMENT. We have just tenoned that the labour of the Mili tary Commillioners has not been in vain : fome emir Omer has of late followed their enquiries into this &par ta,tilt. The panda is Mr. Rossow, whole labours in bring• i ng4 har a bor ts of this department before Parliament d i ;,;ng Sefikn were fo beneficially employed, is jolt nose, invefliga.T"r• the (late of barracks in dit fereor parts of the ; teas lately aith lorol ' , ends in the Ills tf W ght, esa;ro.;ing l.e 1.:13 I th-re as barracks. - Wollope one •of the es d. which have privArd in this very taped - 11 , c and weld - lye ee l aritnen., will he probed to the bottom, we mean the unhe.rhhy f.i.e and 4onarty9; of many barracks.

In any lb:nitres we make. none of them apply to the prefew Barrack Matter General. The atrny knows, that the zeal, afliduity. and attention of Lieutenant General Hawirr in Ills office is unweaned ; but his labour has been great and difficult lime he came into offize. COMMISSARY DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY. Various abufes in this very important department have of late been remedied ; and many are now cor reeling or under confideration. THE ARMY. We are glad to learn, that forne differences which of late exifled between the Ordnance and Naval De partments are at length adjalled. The *ft and zd battalions of that fine old regiment, the 7th, or Royal Fit zileers, are now on their march to Bexbill, from whence they mat probably, will proceed on fervice. It is not mote than fix weeks (ince the t a battalion of this regiment returned horn foreign fervice, and, by the extraordinary exertions of Ithat able Officer, Colonel PAK IN H•l4, they.are neatly completed from the fecond battalion, whom he had brought into a high fine of difcipline. Part of the Caribineers, and the whole of the Buffs, ate at Bex hill, under Sir ARTHUR Weccest.sr. Orders have been given to provide Ames for ano• ther expedition of about 5,000 men. We have beard fume regiments mentioned ; but believe that nothing is yet definitively fettled as to who (hail go. The intention of fending at% experlizion to the Weft Indies is by no means given up, though fume diffi culties have occurred, and other Cervices have inter- 1 vened for the moment. Our little army under General Dos, in Jerfey, is in a very fine (late; it corals of the 3d Veteran Bat talion, of Colonel Diccos's Regiment, loth, and of the ad battalion of the 18th, 34th, 57:h, and 58th. I °,. The 113th, or Royal Irifh, miters upwards of 14.00. General Dow is very p^pular in the 'Gland. In Guerefey are ildtiOnell the ad battalions of the 3d, sth, 44111, 56th, alid 67111: the 4th battaiion of the both and the sth Veteran 13 ittalim. Lord Ar.cattitaits • erg. the 63d, which is in i•egim excellent order, and has for a confiderable time been quartered in the interi4 of Ireland, has lately been marched totfiards the coal. Though the etiquette of the fervice may require that that zealous and ablit officer, Sir DAVID BAIRD ; flIOUld be fuperfeded in the command at the Cape, by General GREY ; yet we birpe his fervices will be call ed for in another quarter. The long and able fer vices of this Officer in India, and his great and gallant conduel at Sesingapatam, never will be forgotten by his country. The late tellimony of the City of Lon don, of approbation, muft be particularly gratifying to this gallant fuldier at the prefent moment. Colonel VATISITTART'S Regiment, the Berkfhire Militia, are on the march fur Portfmouth, for the winter. Brigadier General *TAKLA'S!? is appointed to the command at Gofport. The fourth battalion of the IR Pont, or Scots Royals, a hich fume time ago came from Scotland, are in , ,w in Kcnt, nearly completed, and br , ,tight to a high Rate of difciplinc by Colonel BULLER, who commands them. His May SIT? has been gracioufly pleafsd to infli tute in the 'Jniverfity of Edinburgh a Profefforfhip of Military Surgery ; and he has appointed the emi nent Mr.Tnostscra, Profeffor of Surgery to the Royal College of Surgeons, to be the Firlt Profefru. of Mili Lary Surgery. The celebrated Surgeon Jona BILL, of Edinburgh, fo well known by his publications, has opened a Clafs at Edinburgh, where he le lures on Regimental Surgery. In a preceding column we have given farther ex trafts from the French and Dutch Jcurnals. We may infer from all the accounts yet received, that fo late as the roth, the campaign had not been opened.— It i s thought by frame that the Prufliens have therm irrefolution in two material point., in allowing the neutrality of Heffe, which there is no reafon to fup pole the Fr ench will refpeCt, and then having deferred the attack. As to the neutrality of Heffe, it i, a de• cided lofs to the Pro flians. both of the cotps which they now keep, under General &Inuit, to watch the French, if they fliould violate that neutrality, and they tote the aid of the Heflian troops, which they might have eerily lecured. FitiorateaVrttiGesar wxdd not have helitared a moment. By the neutra lily ni Heft!, Al French; for the moment, make a large lot:cc defAink, and the PrufGans Infe a great deal of theirs. : From the dinielimvikf which thk French are moving. it weirs that the chief attack will be made with their t.ght, on . the tiff - mid cent,e of the Pruffians. The Pru(lian left is un.'cr the Prince of HOHINLOIII. at Hoff. BARMADOTTI commands the French right. which flretches by Bamberg, tovtards the frontier, of Bohemia. lc is (hi. , ght by n.. means imps obable, that +.7 French may viutat: the neutrality of Bohemia, it by that means they can with advantage turn the left .A the Proffiaos.

On the 4.h, difpatches were received from the Proffiait head quarters ; and, as after that BON AP ARTS let off for Bamberg, it was (tippled that negociations had t.iled, and therefore the hopes of PERM which had previotifly het n enter. tained, vanitted. Of this we 'may be perked y fore, that from BONAPARTE at Bamberg the Proffian G oernment can obtain no conceffion.
