At length our uncertainty refpetling the Rate of 1 affairs on the Continent, is in Come mcafure removed by the arrival of the Vrench Journals to the lath,' and Dutch to the 16th infant. 1 The intelligence contained in there papers, is of as difafirous a nature to the hopes of the Mies, as could well be canceled. '1 he furrender of Prince HONKS- Lows cule army, the laft hopes of Prunia and flower of bar force, is unhappily confirmed. The cireum listeCes are detailed in the sad Bulletin of the French army. The Psince, who focceeded the Duke of BRUNSWICK in the chief command of the Pint - Gans, was endeavouring to ORR his retreat to &et( in, for the purpofe of crafting the Oder, when lie found himfelf cut off at Prentzlau, by the Ftenrit divifinn commanded by the Duke of Betio (Martha' Mum). and was obliged to furrender with the whole of his force, cohtifling of 22,000 men, of whom 6000 were cavalry, and i 6,000 infantry. compofed of the Royal Pruffan Guards and Greta dier Corps ; together with 45 had of colours, and 64 pieces of artillery.

Another column of the fame army, confining of 600 men, under General Haut t, was forced to furrender two days after, viz. on the 29th ult. General Bsucites's Sivilion, of 8000 men, there is much reafon to fear has (offered the fame fate ; and the whole of the remaining part of the Pruffian force, confining of to,ooo men, which had croffed the Elbe, are mentioned in the bulletins as likely to be immediately furronnded, in which event the whole of the Prue an army becomes annihilated. To all this &Sifting intelligence we have have to add, the capitulation of Magdeburgh, the furrender of Stettin and Cuflrin, the formal occupation of Heffe Caffel by the enemy, and the arrival of the merry upon the Oder, in different dire ions, beyond which the King of PrufGa has dialed bis efcape. They fcem iN.td, to have already pulped their tongue's even to Poland ; and it is now bonded, that " that immerde barrier. which teemed for ever to feparate Raffia and France.has at length been removed." and the overthrow of the Emperor ALPIAnDIII is even hinted at as an event by no means far diflant.

We can allure the Public, that he was not only in town for many days, bet that it was at the preffing inftance of Government that he came to England. He was conveyed from Lilo° in one of his Majefly's veffels. The greatell care was taken to prevent his arrival from being known. He paired for an Italian, and had no communications at I all, while here, but with his Majefly's Minifters. He had literal conferences with Lord Ga tams' and Lord Howls-a, and puffed a few days in the cum• try with the Earl of Mona. It is clearly the wifh of our Government, that he fhould be placed at the head of the Ruffian forces I but whether the mestere has been fandioned by the Emperor ALIRANDRI we cannot undertake to fay. General Moss•u is eager to oppofe himfelf to his great rival In military fame, and a formal communication of his with has been fent to Peterfbargh. The lateft intelligence received from him finee he left England, was dated Hambnrgh, where he was to remain but one day. Saturday morning the Royal Cornith Miners! marched from N.. I and a Battery, near Deal, to Dover. and in the eveninwere replaced by the Royal Radnor Militia, From Hythe. On Tuefday, the left fleet.for the feafon for Ton. ningen failed from Leith Roads under convoy. On Saturday fe'nnight, the Elizabeth, PIAL6OII, arrived at the Broomielaw, Glafgow, from St. Tho mas's, in 31 days. This is the Srft arrival at the Bromiclaw of a vercl from the Well Indies. Same day, arrived the Hero, 114Cauz, dire& from (kttebec. There are now affembled at the Cove of Cork, wait ing for convoy, 55 fail of merchantmen, bound to the Weft Indies. The Camilla, Foaastaw, of Dundee, from Peterf. burgh, was 101 l on the s3d OrStober on Iceland Reef. She was (Vet in a heavy gale, and both her reads broken; at the fame time three of the crew were walled overboard and drowned; the rat remained five days upon the wreck, from which they were taken by a Swedifh veffel, and carried to Gottenburg Latter, from Halifax mention, that oo t h e =6thult. the LIONAID, of so guns, bearing the flag of *.A.doeiral Busier.

The HYDILI frigate appearing in the Offing, Ad- miral Sir J. T. DUCKY/Will left orders for her to take charge of, and proteet them to their denina lion. From the violent weather experienced by the fleet, it has efeaped much better from the Peas and the enemy than we had reafon to cape& ; but we are lorry to fay, that the danger and length of the pal.

Sir FRANCIS BUILDS Tr then ilepped forward, and addicted the Meeting to the following elle& : Gentlemen, although you yeflerday paid to the Candidate near me every attention which can be due to any Gentleman who Sands forward on thefe bof fins, expelling, no doubt, that Mr. Math would condefeend to gratify the curiofity which he had ex cited by his myficrious difcovery of the preceding day; and, although your expeditions in that rt f i x& were difappointed, ' , hope you will be more fOrttl sate to-day, and that he will at length indulge us with an explanation of the manner in which he came by that curious difcovery. The obflinacy difplaytd by the Honourable Gentleman, in retaining his fe rret. reminds me of an exprellion ufed by Lattice. a Clown, in' use of Shakelpeares plays, who being interrogated as to a keret in his keeping, declared. 46 That a team of honks mould not pluck it from him." Yellerday the Honourable Gentleman fa voured us with but one oblervation, and that not a very gracious one, " That my fpeeches had no dial upon him." I, however, (hall not return him Cu 1 bad a compliment as to his fpeech, for that contain. ing the important difcovery, is the only one with which he has favoured us, and I hope he will not grudge me the ufe of that fpeech, as 1 and my principles are particularly noticed in it. When I had fomewbat recovered from the !lapels.: into which that grand difcovery threw one, I began to form conjectures how he could have obtained it. 1 1 1 had heard of many great men and profound philo fophers, who in the purfuit of one Wind . * point, at lall (tumbled on another difcovery, probably of equal utility or importance ; and accordingly began to confider what grand purfuit the Hon. Gentleman could have been engaged in when he fell on this precious difcovery. Confidering that the Honourable Gentleman was a Bank Director, and confidering alfo, how valuable gold murk be to the Bank at the prefent moment, i was fatisfied that he could have been in putfuit of no other object than the Philofo• pher's Hone— (/at/show and applaufes). And, Gentle men, it mull be a confolatiou to you to think, that whenever he than have found it, the Batik will re fume its payments in calh—(eoroinved laughter and at. playlet). I hope he will perfevete in his purfuit, and though be thinks (o lightly of me, I am convinced there is so man more likely to difcover the Philofo. pher's Stone than the Honourable Gentleman— (ltleeted /NIA of laughter, during which Mr. Melia addicted himfelf to Sir Francis). The Honourable Gentleman rays, he does not think lightly of me, but of my principles. I thank him for the explanation. The difcovery made by the Honourable Gentleman reminds me of a Philofopher of a former age, cele brated by Ben johnfon in hit Alchymill. This per ion had, like Mr. Mellifb, been in purfuir of the Phi 10f-cipher's Stone. Having fought for it in vain dur ing the greater part of his life, he in his old age made a difcovery—not of the Philofopher's Stone in. deed, but one probably more ufeful to mankind in general—of a cure for the itch. Although the dif covery made by Ben johnfon's Alchymill may be fuppofed to bear away the palm from that of the Honourable Gentleman in point of utility, the dif covery of the Honourable Gentleman molt unquef. tionably hold precedence of the other in point of in genuity. It mull have the merit of pleating the learned few; and to be highly elleemed by Mr. Bowles and his compeers—if that path man be not peerlefs—mull he far more agreeable to Mr. Mellilh, than to have pleafed, or endeavoured to ferve the fwinifh multitude in general (offlaufir). No value. ble thing, we are all aware, is procured without great pains and labour; and the pains which we bellow in endeavouring to attain our object, is in general the bell criterion by which to judge how much we value it. 8.3 Mr. Meal& may lee how much I value his opinion, by the pains I have taken to induce him to (tale it. But unlefs I (hall be as fortunate as he has been and (hall be able to find out a procefs by which unknown principles may be ladled into other principles unkoown unlefs I (ball be ;.ble to fall on a mode of diftilling his principles out of the Honours able-Gentleman againfl his will, I am afraid I mutt fail in my attempt. The Honourable Gentleman is more prudent even than the fagacions Burleigh, in 71k Glide. Though that prudent &term% would builds Waterford not give ntternrce to his feelings, be Chewed his con. vidion that an was not right, by a fhake of the head. Even this mark of Approbation or difapprobation cannot be extorted from the Honourable Gentleman. It would have been a fortunate -circumnance that Milliners had been equally Meat. Had they been fo, the affairs of Europe would not now have worn to difmal an Biped. The Honourable Gentlerdan would have, us to fuppofe, that the fira glimpfe he got into my principles was on the day before ye(lerday. What his own principles are he har pot, either before or Ante that period, thought proper tq declare, and the knowledge of them he Items inclined fill to retain within his own break."—(Gearral opt/safer.) Mr. Maxxlssr—. , Gentlemen Freeholders, I limn begin in my old way (a laugh) by returning thanks foe the honour you have done me. If the fpeechea gibe Worthy Baronet'are &muting to you, they, of messfe, mull be gratifying to me."—(./fifir and ap. ploOs). The Meeting then adjourned till this morning at 'tight o'clock.
