, the occupation' of tome of the furkifir provinces contiguous to the Auftrian dominions. The accounts refpeiting the probable future fate of Hanover are various: Some alert that the Duke of Baumswicx is to be created an Eleiaor, and have that country conferred on him. One thing feems probable, at any rate—that it will never be restored to its right ful owner. We have been fo long the dupes of Continental politics, that it may fairly be quefLioned whether the lots of the Ele&orate of Hanover ought to be confi dered as a real evil to this country ? Notwithfianding the apparent re•eftablifbment of harmony between France and Pruffia, it is evident that the latter does not fully trait to this fecurity. Private letters from Berlin, as well as many circum. fiances of the prefent proceeding of Prullia, Teem to confirm this, as does alto an article in the Moni fair relative to Tome reports difadvantageous to the French, fiat circulated in the Bamberg Gazette. Their, though evidently falfe, as the Monitear rays, were repeated in that of Weld ; " indeed," continues the Moniker, ‘. all the Pruffian Gazettes repeat innu merable fimilar falfehoods, which prove that the Englith party at Berlin fill holds up its head, though not to the degree it would do if the Minifier Count HARDINIIIIM could have his wins wiy." Private letters from Holland of a late date, fate, that the Dutch Government have determined to (hut the harbour of Catwyck, for the purpofe of prevent ing all future intercourfe between England and that part of Holland. According to accounts from Barbadoes, brought i t by a veffel arrived at Liverpool, the expedition tin der Sir D. BAIRD and Sir Hosea Po ►BAN has ar rived in the river Plata, and taken Buenos Ayres. This news was brought by Captain Lswros, of the Venerable, who reports, that the day he failed the Lieutenant of the NORTH 1.1 mattLiso come on board with letters, and informed him that Admiral Cocir tam s had received the intelligence which we have juft Bated. It is poffible, however, that the report may bave originated in tome founded on accounts received of Sir HOME Por HAWS arrival at St. Sal. vador. The latch authentic intelligence from this expedition is from St. Salvador, the 27th November. It has been thought probable that an attempt might be made on fame of the Spanifh fettlements previous to the expedition proceeding to the Cape. TROOPS FROM GERMANY. YARMOUTH, TrIIWAIT IS.

J. H. ADDINGTON having received an appointment from His Msysery under the new Government. • The Elation came on yefterday at eleven, when Mr. H. ADDI o rots was unanimrufly re•chofea our Reprefentative. After the nomination, he addreffed the Elators in a fpeech of tome length. He feelingly adverted to the lots which the nation had inflamed in the death of the diffinguiffied Perron who had been lately at the head of his Majefty's Councils ; and congratulated the country on his. Majefty's paternal attention to the welfare of his rubjeas, in remedying that loft by his free relation of individuals, eminent for their talents and experience, to form a new Ad. miniftration. At a critic of fuch unexampled diffi culty, he raid, all party differences and animofities fhould be trodden under foot : we had nothing to do but to look Straight forward, and to co-operate in averting the dangers which threatened us. He flrongly deprecated all idea of defpondency, or of unneceffary alarm ; and expreffed his decided conviAino, that with wifdom and vigour in our Councils, a judicious application of our vaff re fources, and unanimity in the people, the contell might be carried on, not only with fecurity, but with honour and hears. His fpeech was followed by three cheers from his audience. The ceremony of chairing round the town then took place I after which an excellent dinner was provided at. the Three Cups by Mr. ADDINGTON, for the Mayor and Corporation, and the evening was palled with unufital hilarity. At nine Mr. ADDING. Tow fet out, on his return to London. We never recollea an eleaion that appeared to give more uni •erfal fatisfaaion. The LORD MAYOR yetierday held a Court of Com mon Council at Guildhall, in confequence of a Re. quilition in writing, figned by feveral Members of the Court, to re•confider the Addrefs to his Majefty on his appointment of a New Adminiftration, moved for at the laft Court ;on the ground that it was contrary to the (pith of the Refolutioq which ought to have governed it, as well as contrary to the general fenfe of the Court, and to the declarations of Mem bers who fupported the Refolution." The minutes of the La Court being read, the Loan MAYOR Rated, that he had convened the Court in confequence of requilition he had received, figned by feveral very refpatable Members, for the purpofe of re-confidering the Addrefs moved at the lag Court. On the motion of Mr. Deputy Kaust.s, precedents of fimilar proceedings were read. Mr. Turnip moved, that the Court do adjourn. Mr. Dixon moved an amendment, That the Ad• drefs voted at the laft Court be now read, which the Loan M•YOlt declared was in the affirmative; but, a divifion being demanded, there appeared— For the Amendment, Agalnft it, so Aldermen 3 Aldermen. zos Commoners. 57 Commoners. a 1 dlers. a Tellers. 117 6s Majority for the Amendment, JS. The Court then proceeded to read the Addrefs, Paragraph by Paragraph, which occalmned confi d.rable debate, and the Addrefs, with the various alterations made therein, was ultimately agreed to, and ordered to be prefented to his M•Jssrr by the whole Court. His MaJIITY this day at two o'clock, received the Addrefs of the City of London, upon his appoint ment of the New Adminiftration, on the Throne, at St. James's Palace. His Majefty afterwards beld a Privy Council. BOROUGH or SourriMallk.—ln eonfequence of a requifition, figned by twenty-four principal inhabi t Ants, a Meeting was held a the Town Hall, St. Margaret's-hill, yellerday, at one o'clock. JOHN TOWN3IIbNI), Efq. the Deputy Bailiff to Sir Watkin Lewes, in the Chair. The Chairman read a letter from SirWatkinLewes, flaring that ill health, and bufinefs of a particular nature, prevented his attendance. Major FAVIL opened the bufinefs : he Paid that he bad for thefe lalt twenty years had the pleafure of attending his duty in that Hall, upon all public oc calions, and, let who may be the Minifters he would never be found to fhrink from his duty (alluding to the general abfence of the whole body of the Magic trate', and the Gentlemen who have uniformly fop ported the late Adminittration, there not being one of that party in the Hall).—lt unfortunately had never before fallen to his lot, to move an Addrefs to his Majefty on the removal of his Minifter s nor to con gratulate him on the fuccefs of their plans. He did not wifh to dillurb the afhes of the dead, but he trusted when their deeds came to be recorded in the page of bil' y, it would ferve as a beacon to all future Mlnillers, to avoid their errors, and particularly that of the la e l'remier, whore chara.fler, however high in other retirees, was Act Czar aut nuitut that rendered his affociates in the Government mere fatcllites, who, if they thine at all, mull thine with borrowed Wire. In contemplating the prefent Ad miniliration, he faw every thing to hope from them, and nothing to fear—the great and well tried clia raaer, Mr. Fox, who held the important fituation of Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, he wonld fay, from his perlonal knowledge, was univerfally admired and refpeeted by the Powers on the Conti nent, and his Colleagues were men of reputation for abilities and integrity. Such an Adtpinilration was at this moment highly necelfary. If we look abroad, we cannot find a port from the Dardanelles to the Baltic open to us ; if we look at home and examine our condition, it is one of exhaufled re• fources, an immenfe load of debt, and heavy and op prellive taxes—to meet all this have they come into power, a ferious talk, but every thing is to be expeet• ed from the energy of their Councils. If we are to meet the Ufurper and Tyrant of Europe, let us pre- Pare tor the facrifice we (hall be called on to make, and, like the Jews of old, when building their houfes or tilling their land, have the Iword of defence in one hand, with the weapon of indullry in the other I for whatever the fpirit of party eir difference of political opinion may be among outfelves, he trolled that if ever the Imperial Bill! Ihould attempt to fit his foot on Englil6 ground, he would find that the Engllb Dv would one and all bait him and pin hint to the ground. After dilating at fume length into the me-1 rits of the perfons compofing the prefent, and the demerits of the late Adminifiration, he again advert ed to the circumnance of Gentlemen Shrinking from their duty, and concluded by moving the following ' Refolution— That an bumble Addrefs be prefented to his Mildly, thank fully to reprefent the fatisfadion we, in common with the reit of his Majefty'a liege fubjedts, derive from his Majefty's molt gra cious attention to the welfare and interelt of his people by his late appointment of a firm, dficient, and extended Adminiltration, white acknowledged integrity and abilities entitle them to the confidence of the People, and whole exertions in the public fer vice, we hope and truft, under the bleffing of Diving Novi- Deuce. may be adequate and fufflelcut to extricate the nation from the difficulties of the prefect awful erifis, and finally add luftre to his Majelty's Crown, fecurity, and happincfm to the Bridal Empire. Mr. RICHARD SH feconded the motion in a (port (peed'. Mr. Haweuwa objetted to the Addrefs as propofed, firfl, as being premature, and then as a poor vapid thing calculated rather to pleafe her Majtfly and her lovely daughters, than to esprefs the fentiments of Englifh men on a great and momentous oceation. He was for nothing fhort of a pledge that we fhould flake our lives and fortunes Cu fupport the meafures of the New Adminiiir Mr. WRIGHT, in a very fpirited fpeech, fupported the Refolotion, And WAS followed by Mr. June ELLIS, who oppofed it, in part as pre- mature, but chiefly direeed his Artillery againa the condua of the abfentees. Mr. W. D. CLARKS remarked, that fome of the Gentlemen had, ip his opinion, mikonceived the °llea of the Refolution : it was not to compliment Milliners as yet untried, it was to thankfully acknow ledge our ”bligations to our gracious Sovereign, for having in the exercife of hue indubitable right, to choofe his own fervants, made a (elation of men, the greater part of whom were of tried ability and inte grity, and the red of excellent promife ; from the known patrintifm of their cundue, he, therefore, would fupport the Addrefs. Mr. Ar.c( cc could not give a Client vote on filch att occafion ; he admired the change that had taken place in his Majelly's Councils, and the Gentlemen who now computed his advifers, he hoped would re ceive, as well as merit, the fupport'of all friends to their country. The Addrefs was then read, in fubliance the fame as the Refolution. Mr. Ga of Canterbury-fquare, Paid a few words again( it as premature. Mr. RICHARD Smstaav tben moved the Addrefs, which watfeconded by Mr. Favell. After fome converfation the quedion was put and carried unanimonfly. Mr. Sit ar al y, Colonels ALcoca and DAVIIIS. and Major Fay's La. were appointed to prtfent it to his MAJESTY. After voting thanks to the Chairman the meeting broke up. Yellerday the Duke of YORK htld a public day at his Office in the Hmfe Guards, and law a number of Officers, in rotation, as they left their names.

On Mr. GREY'S &it interview with his MAJESTY, after tome converfation relative to the Admiralty, His MAJESTY laid, " Sir, there is but one perfon in your department for whom I with yru to provide, and whom I hope you will not neglea " Mr. GREY bowed affent. Upon which His MAJESTY added, with the molt interefting affability, " It is the Hon. Captain Ga ay ;" meaning Mr. GREY'S own brother.
