It is _with extrome p.iticertt we hive to ?nnottnce to the public the death Of this gallant and illustrious tOmmander, whO. died last night at half pait six o'clocly, at his residence in Ldwer Brook-street. His Lordship, as we formerly Stated, was taken itl on Thursday last, when the Trial of General Vhitelocke was postponed till Monday (this day) in conseittence of his indisposition. . . After hiving eminently distinguished himself in his Country's cause on the Continent, in Ireland, and, lastly, in the Bast-Indies, where he added greatly to the glory and honour of the British name, GAS LAVa was created a Viscount, and raised to the Peerage of this Realm on the Slst of October, 1807, as a reward to which his :bait justly entitled him. He was Governor of Plymouth, a General in the army, and Colonel Of the 80th Regiment ; Gen . - tleman-Attendant of the Prince of WALU, and one of his Royal Highness's Council of State for Cornwall. He eras much attached to and Much esteemed by that illustrious Personage. He is succeeded in his titles and estates by his eldest son, (now Viscount LAKE) who was present at the dissb lution of his father. His Lordship was, we believe , about sixty years of age, but his constitution was much impaired by the climate of India. TRIAL or ciaNtRAL wurrnocKE. DIGHTEVITH DAY. This morning the Court met at the usdal hour, and after some conversati o n amon g the Members, which, as far as we could learn, related to the death of Lord Lutz—the business was opened by General Gowea keing called in. His evidence of Tuesday last was then read over, and his examination by the Court began and continued at twelve o'clock.

The Monitor next comments ott the speeches which took place on the motion for the Address, and thus observes opon some points in them t On the expression of Lord Haweesstiat, that Mi oilers hid received information of the designs of France from the Irish, the editor says.“ This merits observation, because it is a Methber of the Cabinet who speaks.

It soon get round again, however, to the Westward of -South, which prevented their getting out, and they still remain. This force consists of 9,000 men. Nearly 100 sail of t ransports are collected at Ports mouth, ready to r eceive troops and military stores on board, at the shortest notice. Within these few past days, report has varied in the higher military circles as to the Commander in the grand expedition now preparing : While some mention Sir JOHN Mooae, others say, that at the par ticular request of a Great Personage, Lord CATH CART will be the Commander in Chief of it. Which ever of these tried and gallant Officers gets the com mand, the Public may look forward to the result with considerable confidence. The Brevet is still talked of. In part of the impression of last Wednesday's STAR, the 38th, 40th, 51st, and 89th, are confounded with the North American arm y ; though it is uncertain whether these, with some. other corps, may not follow to North America, they fore; no part of Sir GEORGE PREVOST'S army. The West Essex Militia, much to the regret of the inhabitants of Gosport, by whom the regiment is much beloved, has marched from that quarter. The South Hants Militia march to Silverhill bar. racks. The Nottinghamshire and West Essex regiments of militia, are on their marc h from Portsmouth, for the eastern part of Sussex ; the former to occupy the barracks at Lewes, and the latter, those at Silver. close." On Lord HAWKEIBURT'S o.SSertioll, that France I bad proposed to Portugal to make common cause with Europe against England, the Note is—" This is *Bove all absurd, and perfectly false." The writers of these Notes thank Mr. CARNIWG for having justified the Court of the Thuilleries : they' say, that our subsidies to Austria are now in the Bank at Paris, as our subsidies to Sweden will soonbe in the Bank of St. Petersburgh. They hold up to ridicule the debates of our Parliament, and ex claim—" Shades of Fox and Par, where are you !" The illsoirtur speaks of the magnificent reception of their Minister at St. Petersburgh as the proper re m for the distinction shewn to Mons. DE TotstoT at Paris. Prussia is mentioned with a sort of pity the most contemptuous ; but the Moniteur says, that the Right Bank of the Vistula is totally evacuated by the French. There have been pamphlets and libels pub• lished against the Prussian Nobility, as if to prepare the minds of the people for their degradation. The Danes are spoken of in the highest terms of applause ; and it seems resolved that Sweden shall be extinguished. The Emperor has raised to the rank of a Princess Mademoiselle TASCHER, a relation of the Empress ; and she was Immediately married to the reigning Prince of ARLYBERG. The King of HOLLAND is in future to reside at Amsterdant.' kle is to s visit that city soon, and great preparations are making for his reception.
