In purfuance of orders re :eived at Spithead, from Admiral M;LIIAMICV, dated March 73, to receive on board a detach ment of the fit ft regiment, and proceed, without .lifs of time to jerfey, the Determinee being in all refpeds ready for fea, I fent an officer on (bore on the morning of the :oh to Commiflioner Sir CnaaLas &MOS, to requeft his affillance to wards obtaining a pilot ; but he not being able to fend one, occafioned me to make application to the ilatetip, where I was equally unfucce(sful.— The troops being all embarked by three o'clock in the afternoon of that day, the Determinee in company with the Aurora, for jerfey ; and as the flips were going through the Needles Paffage, I had hopes of getting a pilot either at Cowes or Yarmouth. Being nearly off Cowes, about fix o'clock in the evening, I made the fignal with a gun for a pilot, and about 45 minutes after feven both (hips anchored at Cowes. In the morning, at day-light, I repeated the fignal with two guns, but no pilot appeared ; and at five o'clock the (hip weighed anchor, and followed the Aurora for' the Needles. Falling little wind as we approached Yarmouth, I fent an offictr on (bore at that place to endeavour to get a pilot, and at the fame time, repeated the (Ival with guns for that purpoic ; but thole efforts proving as ineffeetial as the former, we failed through the Needles, and no chance was left to obtain one but at Guernfey, or on the jerfey croft. The (hips went through the paffage of the Great Ruffen next day about two , o'clock P. M. the fignal fora pilot was conftantly ' abroad, and many guns were fired. Unable to ob. tain a pilot, I refolved to follow in the Aurora's wake ; the weather was fine and mode ate; and it appeared to me, a (kid attention to that (hip's motions would render it far front being unfafe, to adopt a meafure for which a general fignal is eftablighed. The Mailer arquiefcing with me in this propofal, orders were given to keep imme diately in the Aurora's wale. About a quarter pall four, being dole upon a wind, and nearing the harbour, the Aurora was obferved to be in days, every thing was of courfe prepared, and in mo mentary readinefs for that purpofe; in about five ' minutes after, judging the Dtterminee as near the place as poffible, I ordered the helm.a.lee, the (hip came infiantly to the wind, and the after yards were hauled about; the main-brace was foacely belayed, when Ilse (truck on the rock ; and in lefs than three minutes, the water, infide of the (hip, was of equal height with the furface o f th e f ea Being apprehenfive that the (hip might fall into deep water from the ftrength of the tide, I ordered both anchors to be let go, which was done, and the cables bitted and ftoppered. The panic which pre vailed over the women and cl.ildren threw the (hip into a fcene of confufion hardly to be defcribed, in fpite of every effort to fupprefs it. Notwithfiand ing the fails were clued up and top gallant fails handed, and the men on the top-fail yards in the ad of furling the top fails ; but thinking their weight aloft might tend to upfet the ( hip, I called them down to get the boats out. - The large cutter was loon out, but the !sorry and fear of the people who crowded into her plainly foretold their fate ; in vain I remordtrated on the impropriety and folly of their quitting the (hip, and folicited them to let the women and children only go into the boat,but both reafon and perfnafion had loft their influence, and in this moment the (hip fell on her broadfide. Myfelf, with many others, were by this change thrown into the lea, and it was not without diffi culty, after being near ten minutes in the water, that I regained a dry fituation ; but, at laft, hay. ing reached the micen.top, I had once more an opportunity of advi fi ng towatds faring the lives of thole left with me on the wreck, though Rill unable to prevent many from jumping into the fea. Too much praife cannot be given to all the officers and men affifting upon this unfortunate event, who,by their exertions in the courfe of three hours and a half, in a tide running near fix knots, had taken every man from the wreck, which when I had teen done, I went with my officers on board the Aurora."

It appears from the above Return, that the average number of Deaths amongft the troops for five years and a half previous to his Royal High- 1 nefs's arrival amounted to 146 annually; that fince he has alTumed the command, they have decreafed to 33 this kilt year, from the unremitting attention he has paid to the health of the troops, and in re noting fobriety, difcipline and regularity amongft them. We know that no part of his Royal High nefs's condutt at Gibraltar excited fo much dif content amongß the troops, as (hutting up the wine houfes ; as nothing is fo difficult to cure as habitual drunkennefs, and it was thought the greatefl poflible hardfhip among the foldiers to be prevented from getting beaftly drunk with bad wine whenever they had money in their pockets, though their exceffes generally brought them to difgrace and punifhment, and often hurried them to an untimely grave. His Rrtyal Higlineft, in (hutting up the wine houfes, facrificed three thou land a year of his income, arifing from the taxes upon them, to preferve the health and lives of thoti: under his command; looking ror his reward in the confcions integrity of having difcharged his duty, neither biaffed by intereft nor fwayed by popularity. We pledge otrrfelves for the accuracy of the above Statement ; and (hall we after fuch a proof as this, ever hear his Royal Highnefs's humanity or dilin.6eftednefs called in queltion ! So luc rative was the Government of Gibraltar previous to his Royal Highnefs's taking the com mand, that we know, from undoubted authority, that General O'HARA, during the few years he was Governor there, realized about feventy thou fabd pounds. His Royal Highnefs, on the con trary, has not been able to live on the income of the Government, fince he has been there. The number of punifhments and court martials have decreafeddpwards of one half fince the time his Royal Highnefs took the command. Yeflerday morning his MAJESTY', accompanied by the Duke of CUMBERLAND, the Princeffes So , NIA and AMC L a*, attended by General MAN w sits, Major DISBROW, and Lady PITT, took an airing on horfeback in Windfor Great Park, and viewed the different improvements carrying on there, till near three o'clock.

By the rules and pradice of the Inflitution, no pidure is allowed to be received which has at any former exhibition been offered to the judgment of the public. It happened, that among the produiftions of art lately fent to Somerfet Houfe, was a large Hiflorical PiEitire from the pencil of the Prefident, reprefent ing Hagar and pawlia the Irtleltrieji. This pidure was immediately recogn ized and challenged by one of the Members of Council. He Rated that it was originally painted for Lord Ca immix I, and publicly exhibited in the year 1776. Upon the front, however, of the picture was written in Rrong charaders, according to the ufual praaice of the mill, his name, together with the date, Igo; l and, upon the faith @phis isfiription, it was determined that the performance fhould be reedy. ed. Some doubts, however, fill remaining, the Catalogues were infpefled, and it was Lund that a painting, defcriptive of the fame Rory, had been exhibited by Mr. West in 1776. This led to a fecond and more minute examination of the pic ture—the rcfult of which was, that the due 5776 was difcovered in an obrcure corner impales* ebb terated. The Members of the Council, indignant at the deception, regarded each tither foe Luse time in fluent alkoniihment. At length it was re folved, that the Secretary mould write to the Prefident, tuqueßing him to withdraw the per. formance. To thisletter, no anfwer has yet been received. It is faid, however, that 'the Prefident, who is a fibelar. as well as a painter, meditates a concife and claffical reply. Hot &au replies tlaceiit, will be futficiently expreffive of the juts confidence which he feet is the merits of the pitiore. SPORiIiVO INTELLAWCZ.
