,7 c •~ • . . K~ . 4 " 1 TILE sTANtsNIAN _.~; - ' ~.~ .~' . • . r -, The following Article is copied from a Second Edition of the Moraing Herald, this day : EXPECTED ARMISTICE. By an express from Harwich, we have received the following important intelligence :—A schuyt ar rived at that place yesterday from Scher°ling, having on board Colonel Btooteetnis, the bearer of dia. patches addressed to Lord BATHURST, containing the particulars of the victory gained by Sir Thomas GRAHAM and General BuLow, on the 11th and fol lowing dap, in the neighbourhood of Breda. Three other vessels have also arrived, with passen gers, among whom is anoint, the messenger,withdis patClles from the head-quarters of the Allied Army on the confines of France to our Government. Mr. !Isom( left Freyburg on the 10th, at which time there was an immediate prospect of a suspension of hostilities, In consequence, It is said, Of BONAPARTE having offered the most favourable terms possible for Peace. The Messenger passed Lord CASTLEREAGH ) on his way to Frankfort. . The crows of the vessels also bring a report, that Flushing has been taken: but this is not generally -credited, and is suppoced to proceed from an over anxiety, on the part of the Dutch, to propagate what ever news might give pleasure ou this aide of the ► water. • 1 • . I.ieut,-General the Earl of DALIIOUSIE and Staff, Dautymer.c, of the 15th Hussars, wjll embark this week at Portsmouth, to join the • irmy under Lord WELLisicros. • His (Loyal Ilighnevs the Duke of CAMBRIDGE has confided the 'command of the German Legion to Lieut.-Geo. Ltosusocti, during his Royal Highness's absence in Hanover. • The Three Brothers has arrived from Holland, and through that charnel intelligence has been re ceiked, we understand, from Holstein, which indi cates that matters have not yet been adjucted be tween ,Swetlee and Denmark, notwithstanding the positibewsaugasices to the contrary. It is said the . Coon of, c g evenhageo requires more time to delibe rate befrew,4t ran condescend to the humiliating pro wails that have been made for its extrication from Its, present dgiculties, Isiaid that part of On Bouencie family will tilt leiwthistnuotry. We know that one of the French Princes is expected at Portsmouth. We she'll be particelarly glad to see Moxst urn proceed to the Contineut ;.and it may probably be intended that his RoyabEighness end both his sons, the Dukes of • A:scantiness! and Daunt, should embark, lea.ing • Lour.

The Northern mai is said, were not able to proceed further/ than 'llighge te last night. The German regiments that lately came over from Souvr's army had just beft.re 'been furnished with new clothing and accoutrements, so that they go home not in want of fitting out. By Lord Wee -3.lNOTox's orders a gratuity of a dollar to each man was distributed to them fpm the British military chest, to drink success to he Alliot arms. The number of dollars issued for this purpose was 1200, which will afford an estimate of the number of men in the regimpots, exclusive of . Officers. The heavy gales of wind 'previous to the 13:h December had ma terially inconvenienced the army, by preventing the arrival of the usual supplies hs sea. There was in particular a greet scarcity of forage for the horses, which reduced these poor enimois to a state of great distress, although the greeter part of the cavalry, and also of the artillery and the elegem, train, has been left behind in Spain for the convenience of subsistence. Nov. 19.—We have, thank COD, a pro .. apect - of flirty relief from our imprisonment, having been 20 days without a case in town, and very few indeed have occurred within the cordon—l under stand five days elapsed without a fresh attack. The Bulletins were discontinued soon after General Matirwittia arrived ; and we only know publicly what is'cloini; by, the medium of the Gazette, now called the Grratta del Governo, w hich is to be consi dered as official, and all Proclamations, &c. inserted are to be obeyed. On the 13th, a Proclamation was issued, ordering all residents in Valetta to have their houses whitewashed. The'outs, being the country gentlemen, are to come to town, as you will see by the Proclamation itself, which I enclose; arising out • of this,, it has been intimated, that we are to have free ptatique within the walls, on the let December" SO that we are merging towards old times. Many P:OpS are already opened. Our new Governer has purchased land in the vicinity of San Antonio Pa lace, and is fitting up the Palace against a renewal of old times. We yesterday copied from the Tinto, a statement of a Lady lately arrived from France, having brought presents from the Empress Mantra LoUisA. to a Lady of rank in this country. We are now enabled to contradict, from authority,, the statement alluded to,. and in the most positive terms to assure .the public, that no such transaction has ever taken place. Private accounts state, that Box APAIITE is not only glown very fat, but that he drinks very bard. In these moments he makes light of his situation, and says, "that many persons will find themselves hr 11. curious predicament ; that there will be a change noosttl, a change of scenes, and a change of de cn; atious." .► -. .., quis of TavmocK, Lord °HOLEY'S family, Lady : Asomr,, Mrs. WILMOT, and her elegant and accom- . plished daughter, Mr. and Mrs. SHERIDAN, and many others of the first rank and fashion ; compris ing _ such a group of youth, beauty, and elegance , as , seldom has met together. At nine an excellent band of music struck up, and the merry dance went round. The different apart- ' ments were fitted up in the highest taste, ornamented with a variety of evergreen plants and variegated lamps; the dancing continued about two hours, when the theatricals begin. The dining-room was con-; ! verted into a theatre, with all appropriate appendages and dresses from Drury-lane. Two inimitable., 1 pieces were performed, produced by the elegavilnt pen of Mr. SHERIDAN; the one presenting s lage. scene, called The Happy Return; the other a deep j Tragedy, founded on. real facts, called Fatal Dupti : city. The characters . were represented in an exqui site style and manner, and chiefly by the able and distinguished ability of the Manager and family. i At three o'clock the supper was announced, when ' the company, about 200 in number, sat down to a Imost elegant repast, consisting of every delicacy, and 1 the choicest and most costly wines. After supper the dancing was resumed, and con , tinned unto a late hour:And amidst this gay assem blage of youth, beauty, elegance, and fashion, Lady ELIZABETH WHITBREAD shone most conspicuous, and by her pblite affability and condescension, by the grace and dignity of her person, and by her most ele gant attire, her Ladyship attracted universal notice 1 and admiration. . A letter from Dublin, ted January 13, says, 6 ' From the uncommon d of the snow, the streets yesterday appeared almost. deserted ; none were to be seen abroad but an occasional messenger,. a walk ing physician, a letter-carrier, or • a bank-ronner, scrambling through the BROM to their several coca tions."
