Prince WILLIAM of GLoucarraa proceeded on Monday from Lleweny Hall, the feat of Lord Vif count KIRKWALL, to review the Volunteers at Den high—this fmall but loyal town is expeEted to miller above 600 men, including cavalry ; and in a fhort time he will vifit Liverpool, which it is expeded he will make his head quarters. The Earl of ILCHYSTIR and Colonel STRAND{. WAYS are making the tour of the Coalls of the Bri- WI; Channel. On Saturday laft they croffed with their Suite, from Swanfey in Wales, to Ilfracombe in De von. The Earl of Wartwice, the Lord Lieutenant of the county from which he takes his tide, has made an offer to Government to fubfcribe the fum of ten thoufand pounds, to be expended is the purchafe of arms for the ufe of all the Volunteer Corps of the County of Warwick, which may have received his Majetly's approbation. We are likewife informed, that his Lordlhip has declared his intention of allot ting the furn of toed. for the relief of the families of fuch Volunteers of the county of Warwick, as may fall in the honcinrable defence of their country ; or, if not fo expended, in aid of the general fubfcription at LLOYD'S. One thoufand men from the three regiments of Lancafhire Militia, and the fame number of men from the 'Guards, encamped on Monday fe'nnight, about five miles from Danbury camp, where they are throwing up works, which will take them upwards of two months to complete. At Kilmarnock, on Tuefday fe'nnight, the Ber wickfisire militia, commanded by the Earl of Hoses, received their colours, prefented by Lady SlwcLait, with an appropriate addrefs from her Ladyfhip; which was anfwered by a very loyal fpeech from Lord Howe. The non-commilGoned Officers then Waled on drawing her Ladyfhip's carriage, preceded by the band, back to the Inn, where many loyal emits were given, and the evening (pent with molt of the principal inhabitants of the town, in the great eft fellivity and harmony. Yellerday the remains of General BRATHWATTB were removed from his houfe in Wel beck-flreet;down Boad-Rreet, St. James's-Once, Pall Mall, Strand, &c. to be interred in St. Paul's. The proceffion was eight men on horfeback two and two, the plome,hearfe and fix with efcutcheons, fix mourningicoaches and fix, and gentlemen's carriages with fervent* in mourning. According to a private letter from Paris, dated the loth initant, a great number of Albanians, and of Greeks, have been oblerved in that City, and are known to be in the pay of Government. Not a day pats but Come of them fet out on fecret deftinations. Much is Paid refpeding a plan of difembarking troops, which Government has decided en, and fond hopes are entertained that as fooa as the French troops make their appearance in Albania and the Alorea. thole countrie► which are fuppofed to be French at heart, will rife into rebellion. It is even pretended that for a long time pail meafures have been taken to organife a Greek army. But all thefe projeds are fubordinate to that which is cherifhed in preference to every other, to wit, the Invafion of Ireland. The dole alliance between Spain and the French Govern ment compels the former country to make prepara tions. Spain is much exhanßed : the Cabinet of Madrid has made reprefentations with a view to be enabled to obferve a arid neutrality in the prefent war ; it has been permitted not to come to aqy de claration until her galleons (hall have arrived. The armaments which are made nectilary by the remon. (trances of England, who prefres the Court of Spain to come to an explanation, may be employed either to tranfport troops to Ireland, (bould the diltur bances of that country continue to turn& a hope of the fuccefs of their effeaing a landing, or of co. operating in the Expedition to the Levant, if the Expedition againft Ireland (hould not take place. The partizans of the near Coast's affed to fay that he is confident of the favour of the Northern Powers. In their opinion, every courier who arrives from Peterfburgh or Berlin, brings the molt pofitive Abr. ance of a coalition againa England. Asa proof of the influence of the Fits'. Cowsut over the Cabinet of Berlin. the difgrace of. Count HAVGWITZ is ad duced—for that Miniller was difplaced as loon as he difcontinued to (hew a predilection for the projeds of France. The favour enjoyed by the Lombard Fa mily is alto inßanced as a proof of that influence ; one of them was appointed to carry to the (bleep of PrufGa the robe of lace which the Farr Con sus. Cent as a preterit to her Maiefty. Indeed. no trick is left untried in order to prove to the French Nation who, though always deceived, is Rill credulous, that all Europe is prepared to arm againft England. Yost may fee it announced that the Grand Seignior is put ting Mmfelf at the head of a powerful navy in order to prom& the liberty of the fees.

He came on the ground from the right, and a Royal feline was fired, commenc ing with the twelve pieces of Artillery on the right, and taken up again on the left, till the whole was completed. The Review then took place in the fol lowing order, viz, on his Royal Highnefs coming to his poll in the centre, the line took open order; officers faluting and dropping colours. The Line (bouldered by battalions ; and his Royal Highnefs gaffed along the front, and afterwards in the rear ; where the recruits of the different regiments and Ar my of Referve, were drawn up in a lecond line to re-1 ceive him.—He came round by the right of the bri gade, when the line broke into open column and palT:d firft in flow time, officers fainting, and afterwards in quick time with doled ranks.—The line was then again formed for the manoeuvres, but owing to the extreme wetnefs of the day, and the troops having loaded prior to marching round ; there was hardly •ne firelock in the battalion that went off.—Some ra pid movements were exhibited by the Cavalry and Horfe artillery, while the regiments were advancing in line, and forming open columns in the rear of the grenadiers of the Eaff Norfolk, from which they de ployed into line by the Echeltrn movement, which was very corretaly perfoimed : feveral of the manoeu vres were neceffarily omitted from the cattle already affigned, and after the line had performed the general falute at open order, his Royal Highnefs, accom panied by hi+ brother the Duke of CAMBRIDGE, Sir Jamas Ca•ta, and fuite, fet off from the Heath in their carriages for Chelmsford, to review the Guards, &c. and the regiments then returned to their quarters. His Royal Highnefs expreffed in warm terms his fa tisfallion both with refped to the appearance and manoeuvres of the troops, to the Hon.

Highaefs the Duke of YOR It, as Commander in Chief, accompa nied by his Royal Brother, the Duke of CARIBRIDGII, reviewed feveral Corps of Urea Yeomanry Cavalry, the Brigade of Guards, and the three battalions of Royal Laneafhire Militia. The ground marked out for the review of the whole. was on Galleywood Com mon, about a mile from the old Barracks ; but the unfavourablenefs of the morning induced his High nets to difpenfe with the march of the Guards out of Chelmsford, and therefore he infpefted this Brigade, drawn up in the main Ilreet of this town. During this time, the Yeomanry Corps had formed in line, in fourteen dirifions. on the lower part of the Race Ground, in the following order, from the right (the three battalions of the Royal Lancafhire Militia being drawn up more centrically, and in advance), viz.

General Ftacw, Major• Gen. BECKWITH, and his own immediate Staff, rode full gallop along the rear of the infantry to the right of the cavalry, (his arrival there being declared by found of trumpets through the line),and paring along each Corps, he infpeCted it with minute attention, and received from their Commanders returns of their effdhve ftrength. Lord BRATIIIOOII infirm. ' ed his Highnefs of the names of the principal Offi cers as be approached them. Having alto infpated them in flank and rear, the Commanding Officen were ordered into the centre, where they generally received, through their Lord Lieutenant, the high approbation of the Dula, and his thanks for the very military and the uniform appearance of their feveral troops. His Royal Highnefs now proceeded to the left of the Royal Laneafhire regiments, and pared their line, compofed of goon effeaive men, ia' a fimilar manner. He then took poll at a convenient (poi, when the whole wheeled by grand diviSous, and pared him, the officers and colours fainting. He expreffed great fatiJaelion at the fteady slifcipline of this fine body of men, and returned them, through their Colonels, his war melt acknowledgments. Dur ing thefe evolutions of the infantry, the cavalry filed off homewatds, by their feveral columns, and gaining the heights, in various diretlions, afforded a proud fpeitaele, hononrable to thole who comp fed it, and to the Country in whole defence they are fo pliantly arrayed :—lt wanted only a fine day, to nuke the triumph of a Britilh maul complete. Unfortunately it rained feverely throughout the whole Review Many of the principal farmers, and numerous other tocaators were affembled. The Royal Brothers, re• gardlefs of weather, continued in uniform frocks, to bide "The pelting of ilte pitylefs fto'm." On the troops being diiMifted, their Royal High. neties rode re view the firong chain of redoubts and batteries, formed on the north-well heights of the common, and then getting into the Duke of Yoan's chaife, prOceeded direely to town. They intended to have honoured Lord Peres with their company to dinner at Thorndon Hall, had not the immediate pretence of the Duke of Yoa s been required in Council. lI.ISTINGS. AUGUST 30. In travelling along the Suffer Coati, I have been highly gratified to fee the patriotic fpirit which per. vades all ranks of people, and the ardour with which they arm againfl the French. It is impoffible perhaps for more unanimity to be (hewn on fuch an occafion, than I have obferved in this town. The Fiffiermen and perfons acquainted with the fea fervice, to the number of upwards of 250, ad as Sea Feneibles, under the command of Captain Sc HODI Brea and Lieu. tenant Mactenzis, of the Navy, and are regularly trained to the management'of the great guns on the battery which tlefend the town, at which they are very expert. It is to be lamented, however, that no light gun-b •.ats are yet appointed here, as there is no place in the kingdom where they would be more ufe. ful or better managed: it is afionifhing to fee with what cafe large veffels are drawn on fhore here, or moved down to the fea at every tide. The circum. Rance of a privateer, fuppofed to be French, ap. proaching, about a fortnight ago, near to this town, and efcaping untouched, although five 24 pounders were fired at her from the battery, point out the ne• ceffity of fuch gun boats, which would have been manned and at fea in a few minutes ; as there are always plenty of hands ready on the beach, and defirous of volunteering their fervices ; and on fuch an occafion would no doubt have given a good account of her. This morning the Volunteers of this town, for the land fervice, muttered on the Cattle Hill for the fira time, in number about 200, flout and able bodied men, divided into two companies, under the command of Captains MILWARD and WHISTLER. Too much praife cannot be given to thofe Gentlemen, and alto to Mr. Swam', the Mayor of Hattings, for their great attention to the public fervice at this ci Many of the above men are ready for immediate ter. vice, having tided as Volunteers previous to the peace. Barracks are building near this town for about moo regular troops. A camp is already formed at Fair. light, near the town. There are large bodies of ha; fe and foot in the barracks at Bexhill and Battle, Winchellea and Rye. In 'bort, inftead of any fear from a French invalion, the people here are fo coot• dent of giving them a repulfe, that they appear in. dined to with for the experiment. Lord Hu rem in • sow, who commanded in Egypt, is a General of thia &Ma, and lodges in Haftings.

His curiofity being rather excited, he followed it to the quay on which velels take in their cargo. 'flre carter then difcharged the contents of his cart. when Floyd went and tried their weight, which gave rife to a Prong fufpicion in his mind that fonsething unfair was going on. He therefore made an immediate corn. munteation of the bnfinefs to the neighbouring inha bitants. On this the vefel loaded with coals, and defined to Holland, was fecured ; an examination took place, and a number of chefs, containing pike, heads, were difcovered concealed among the coals. The cart was marked as from Briliol, bat it is fop poled the pikes came from Birmingham, and that the waggon had conveyed them into the neighbourhood &me time before, where they lay hid in a wooden frame. The man who attended the cart made his drape i bat the cart and horfe were found on a coin mon near at hand.
