A Flag of Truce will sail from Dover, as soon as wind will permit, for Rotterdam, with Mr. CLIME .nd his family, the period of that Gentleman's parole bring nearly expired. A Pestuguese vessel, which had been detained in Tolland, but which was allowed to sail a few days ago, arrived on Saturday. She brings information, 'that most of the neutral vessels which were seized un ler the first operation of BONAPARTE'S decree, in tonsequenceof being laden with English merchandize, Ave lately been condemned by the Dutch Courts, and their cargoes ordered to be publicly sold. A regula- ton however has been adopted, by which the owners, persons to whom the cargoes were assigned, are allowed to repurchase them, if they chuse to pay at the rate of 60 per cent. on the value of the goods as imported. It is reported in Holland, that BONAPARTE has or dered a great number of shipping to be put in requi ition for a secret expedition of great importance. It said that the agents of the French Government are Actively employed in collecting vessels of various de- 1 scriptions for this armament, respecting the object of which nothing has been suffered to transpire. But, France has no enemy on the Continent, of course is meant the People should infer that , 4 the Tyrant & the Seas" is now to be humbled. No confirmation has yet been received of the re ported insurrection at Lisbon. Humanity will re joice to find there is no truth in the report. What good can be expected to . result from the confused Lovements of an unarmed mob against a disciplined army? The case would have been different, had measures been timeously adopted to organize the Po lulation under proper Military Leaders. Resistance might possibly have been followed by a victory, as Buenos Ayres; but resistance now can only bring an accumulation of miseries on the devoted inha bitants. Advices havg been received from Sir SIDNEY Nimes squadron off the Tagus, of the 28th ult. which time no intelligence of the reported irsur rection had been received. It is possible, they might lot hear of it, owing to the vigilance of the French . preventing any boats from visiting them from the shore ; but the probability is, that they would by me means or other have heard of the event, had occurred. The Cork Paper of the 12th makes no mention of the arrival from Lisbon mentioned in the private let ter of the 11th, which first gave currency to the ru mour of an insurrection. On the contrary, it gives, the latest news from that quarter, some extracts from the London Papers. Yesterday the Rev. Dr. GLASSE, one of his MAJESTY'S . . ;haplains in waiting, attended at the Queen's Palace, Ind performed Divine Service in the Chapel. Dr. ' , LASSE afterwards preached at St. James's. Yesterday the PRINCE OF WALES dined with their MAJESTIES and the PRINCESSES. Saturday morning the Count de LISLE and suite arrived at Oxford, from Stowe, and having visited the different public Buildings, attended by the Mar iuis of BUCKINGHAM and the Bishop of St. AsAPSI, went to the Star to dine. The Count wore a dark green great coat, and looked remarkably well. On Friday, the Portuguese Ambassador had a long Aniference with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, at Ili.. house, in Downing-street. Wednesday, one hundred thousand pounds, in gold, were shipped on board the Surveillante frigate, Sir GEORGE COLLIER, at Spithead, as a loan to the Por tuguese Government at the Brazils. FRANCIS HILL, Esq. Secretary of Legation to the Court of the Prince Regent of Portugal ; and Mr. CHAMBERLAYNE, Se cretary to the Mission, and acting Consul General, And their suite, take _heir passage to the Brazils in her. She is expected to sail in a few days. She goes from the Braids to the Cape. By a vessel just arrived from St. Petersburgh, a letter has been received, written by a person of dis tinction, of which the . following is an extract, dated St. Petersburgh, Nov. 19 (0. S.). Our troops are marching towards Sweden. There is already a Russian army of 35,000 men destined for Swedish Finland. These are to be joined by 5,000 more, who have this day received orders to march. They are to be joined by the Guards. This has all been effected by French influence. It is already un derstood that French troops are to be allowed to come here, to facilitate their passage into Sweden. Our E , nperor is arnusing - himself in contriving gaudy uni forms and helmets, to be in future worn by his Of ficers ; he takes for his'pattern those ofGeneralSavary. This is the v.ay in - which the King of Prussia amused himself at Berlin, France was undermining him,. and where is be now ? The saute scene will be wit nessed h ere in less than twelve months, unless a corn. rlete alteration takes placr in his Imperial Majefty's Councils." 041•11 M•••••••• ..•••••=l. ••• The T Boni) Am fallow in ••AL without ct fILA i'vLl .3 per C. 3 per Cent 4 per Cen 5 per Cen Long Ant India Bon A Fl the wine and his bring m A Po Hollan ago, as 'that me der the consey have la' their c lion ho Or pets • allowei the rat import It is dered sition f is said activel scriptio which as Fra] it is mi of the No ported joke t 4 good c moven army? measui pulatic might at Bue an as bitants Ach SMITH at whi section not he: in prei shore ; some it occu The the art ter of I mour as the from t Yesi Chaph and pi GLASS Yesi MAJES • Satt arrive( the dil quis of went t green On colder his ho, We were Gaon tugue Esq.

His Majesty's schooner Capelin also dragged her anchors and went on shore, but is got off with the loss of her rudder. PLYMOUTH, JAN. 16. Came !rt the Halifax, of 18 guns, from the East ward ; Princess Charlotte, of 40 guns, from Cork.— Sailed the Fortune, of 40 guns, for Cork ; Joseph cutter, with a fleet under convoy, for the Bristol Channel. The Ulysses Portuguese ship, from the Brazils, grounded in Catwater yesterday, and made so much heel, that to enable the ship to righten again, when the flood made, they were obliged to cut away her mainmast : she strained so much that she became very leaky, and it is feared that the cargo has received damage. PORTSMOUTH, JANUARY 17. Arrived the Boadicea, Leonidas, Daphne, and Escort, from a cruize ; also the Mercato transport, Captain CLARKSON, with the loss of an anchor and cable ; Good Intent, CROPLY, bound to Malta Agnes transport, Captain Russia., and the Clarkson, Captain STEimEtisos, from Monte Vidco, last fr6m Cork.—Sailed the SPENCER, for the Channel Fleet ; Goshawk, Fervent, and Sheldrake, on a cruise.

The Baracouta sloop, Captain HARRIS, expects to sail in a few days with dispatches for Madras. The East India and Mediterranean convoys are yet detained at Spithead by contrary winds. The Niobe, Captain LORING, and several transports to re-join Sir CHARLES COTTON, at Falmouth, are likewise detained. Yesterday the Right Hon. Lord W. CAVENDISH BENTINCK, Governor of Madras, arrived here in the Salcette frigate, Captain BATHURST, in fifteen weeks from Fort St. George. The Salcette was built a t Bombay ; she is sent home for an experiment, to as_ certain whether ships of her class, built of teakwood, and equipped in the same manner as she- is, will an swer—previous to several more being built in that country. She is remarkably strong built, but the opinion appears to be, that she does not answer her helm well. The expence of building there is consi_ derably less than in any part of Europe, All was tranquil in India when she left Madras : dispatches were brought by her, which we understand are not of any great importance. COWES, JAN. 17. Sailed the Hope revenue cutter, TEDBURY ; and Acorn American brig FOLGER, for Guernsey. DEAL, JANUARY 17. This morning sailed from the Downs his Majesty's ships Speculator and Tygress, with the outward bound, &c. under convoy to the Westward. YARMOUTH { JAN. 1 t.. During the gale on Friday afternoon the Pincher gun-brig drove foul of the Tartarus sloop, and re ceived some trifling damage : the Amelia frigate im mediately sent three tboats totheir assistance, but the sea running high, the jolly-boat with five men upset, and am sorry to state that four men were unfortunately drowned ; the man saved was picked up by one of the boats that was returning, the Admiral having pre viously ordered them back by signal.—Arrived, the Amiable frigate and the Calypso sloop of war.— Sailed, the Tartarus sloop of war, and Minx and Pin cher gun-brigs.--Ships remaining, the Amelia, Ad miral RUSSELL ; Roebuck, Admiral DOUGLAS, Ami able, Ariadne, Calypso, Bellette, and Starling sloops; and Urgent gun-brig.—Wind N.E.

She was nine days from Dunkirk, had taken the brig Gabriel, of Yarmouth, from the Frith of Forth, which she sunk, after taking out her crew, five in number: She has .been a very successful cruizer, has run dealt for up. wards of three - years, and is said to have taken mcre prizes than any one of her kind during the war. Her Captain has shared 1.5001. in three months. She took fifteen prizes last cruize. EFFWII OF THE LATE PREADYUL GALE. From the numerous shipping di , acters that have already come to hand, we are apprehensive that the mischief done altogether by the la.e tremendous s AZ will be found to be incalculable. Th e towns of and-Margisteltave sufferCd considerably. The fol- 1- lowing distressing accounts have reached us through ; various channels 72C 7---- cdstressiiiiiicle • appeared at day-light on Friday morning—all the ships in the Downs had •, parted from their cables, and were drifting about, some with the loss of their topmasts acrd bowsprits, and some standing out of the Downs, without either anchor or cable. On land, however, the damage has been very eat;tr the foundations of many houses have I been undermined by the sea, numerous storehouses, with their contents, have been swept away. During the storm, a breach of some extent was made by the sea, between Sandown Castle and the battery No. 1, which forced a torrent of water into the lower streets of Deal, and filled with it all the cellars. Pro perty to a considerable amount has been destroyed ; and in a row of houses near Alfred-square, the torrent was so deep, that it was found necessary to send down boats to take the inhabitants from the windows of their houses. Several quays in the Beach-street have been totally destroyed, and the timber washed out to sea. It was reported, at the departure of the post, that a brig had foundered in the Downs, and all oa board perished. It was afterwards ascertained, that a brig had drifted on board a ship, which occasioned the for mer to founder, and the latter to drive to sea, with only her mainmast standing. At Cowes ten of the transports belonging to Ad- . miral Murray's squadron arrived during the gale, an der convoy of a gun-brig ; all of which, with the gun brig, were driven ashore. The gun-brig and three of the transports got off in safety, but the rest remained aground at the departure of Friday's post. The tide at Yarmouth rose to an alarming height. The turnpike-road, for some miles, was covered with the water from the sea, so high that a boat might have been rowed as far as Gorleston. _ _ _ - _ COWES, JANUARY 17.—The effects of Thurday's e have been felt with much severity at the Isle of Wight : no less than eight of the Monte Video trans ports, in their passage from Cork toPortsmouth, having been driven on shore between Yarmouth and Cowes ; fortunately, they grounded at half-ebb, and by prompt exertions, in letting go their anchors the moment they struck, they were, on the rise of next tide, the hurri cane having abated, saved from the perilous fate that awaited them.—About same time, the Industry, Tuc- KER Master, from Waterford, with provisions, went on shore in Caldwell Bay, near the Needles ; the vessel is likely to be got off, though she has several feet wa ter in her hold.—Last night the Queen, of London, PURVIS Master, laden with wine, from Oporto for Lynn, came into this harbour in distress, having been forced from the Downs, with the loss of all her anchors and cables. DEAL, JAN. 17.—The ketch Hope, of Southamp ton, JOHN MILTKER master, in ballast, is on shore near Walmer Castle : crew saved. The brig Nottingham, Captain Howe., with naval stores from Deptford for Portsmouth, went on the Goodwin Sands yesterday morning, and was abandoned by the crew, but was afterwards got off by two boats from Ramsgate, but sunk soon after. The brig Venus, WHITE, from Shields for Gibraltar, is on shbre on the north end of this town, and it is expected she will be lost. DOVER, JAN. 16.—The undermentioned vessels have put in here in consequence of the damage they sustained in the late gale, viz.—James of Sunderland, Captain LEVERSTON, with coals for Weymouth, lost one anchor and cable ; Nancy of and from Blackney, Captain HADLEY, wit h corn for Plymouth, lost one anchor and cable ; Yre of Yarmouth, Captain HOL LAND, from Wisbech with corn for Plymouth, lost two anchors and cables ;—Harriet of Sunderland, Captain PEARSON, with coals for Plymouth, lost fore top mast and anchor and cable ; Providentia of and for Gottenburgh, Capt. STAIRE, with salt from Ply mouth, lost an anchor and cable, and received damage by getting ashore on the Long Sand. The ship Baron Nelson, Captain GILSON, of and for London with stores, bound to Gibraltar • ship l'hcenix, 'Capt. Bum; bound to the Cape of G ood Hope ; and the ship Autumn, Captain STROEGE, from Dantzic with timber, bound to Bristol, have been supplied with anchors and cables in our roads, and have proceeded on their voyage. The Flora, Danish sloop, sailed from hence on Thursday for London, lost her anchors and cables off the North Foreland, and sprung a leak, and made so much water that the crew were obliged to abandon her, and fortunately got on board one of our great boats. SHEERNESS, JAN. 15.—This morning's day-light exhibited to the inhabitants of this place a most me lancholy picture, for, in consequence of a very dread ful gale in the last night, from N.W. the tide flowed to a very unusual height, and being the top of the springs, has by its irresistible force inundated all the level for many miles, by forcing down the barrier walls ; the damage hat it has done to the estates near the town is not at present to be calculated : one gentleman, (Mr. Chalk) who has a very large estate, has near the whole of his marsh-land under water. The coast appears, from the quantity of wreck on it, a dreadful spectacle. A prodigious number of his Majesty's masts have been driven up the harbour, and several small vessels have been floated on to the main and entirely wrecked. We dread to hear the accounts of the number of cattle and sheep that have perished in this dreadful gale and inundation : the main road, from the island to the King's Garrison, is at one part by the barrier-gate entirely rendered impassable, by a breach made by the sea, so that no person can pass in or out. At present all is bustle, but at two o'clock the tide is raging over the level in a shocking manner, and we fear the damages and losses will amount' to a prodgious stun, and will require a great time to repair, as the sea has made so many breaches through Queenborough wall; that every tide freely flowt over the marshes. At half-past two the gale has increased, accompanied with snow, and threatening total des truction to all the cattle, sheep, and property, on the level—and the sea runs so high that not any commu nication can be had with the shipping, or assistance rendered to those in distress. As soon as the weather enables us we will give a further detail of this melan choly .event.--Wind N.W. blows a heavy gale. - The particulars of the inisch:el done at Margate, are thus derailed : " MARGATE, JAN. 16.—0 n Thursday afternoon, last; about four o'clock, the fishc. observing the sea unusually n strong wind from the North, and tin g a very bad night, began to craft—ortunately they were conjectures, for in less than a quarter - Wind Suddenly cltang•ed to the N. need to blow with the most drew o'clock the next morning.
