I T o ulon grads-0m had eeml,Med.; and that Sir RICHARD STRACHAN had joined Lord COLLIVC WOOD at Palermo. The Coquette was only eleven days On her passage to Lisbon and back. She took out sa convoy of transports. Sir CHARLES COTTON pus ten of the li n o with him, which are all victualled and watered for seven months. There is a scarcity of. provisions, approaching to a famine, at Lisbon. Central JuNOT had made an offer to Sir CHARLES, that if he would suffer the vessels laden with corn, to enter Lisbon, he would not prevent his squadron from being supplied with bullocks and wine : this Sr CHAIII.ES refused. The Russian squadron are lying is the Tagus, ready fur sea ; but there is no expectation of their coming out. A very rich ship. from Limn, escaped our cruisers, and got into Vigo lately; much to the mortification of our ships off Da port. The report that Sir JOUN THOMAS Duc [worry's meant to proceed to the Breads, in search of the Rocbfert squadron, is, we understand, without foundation. We have received letters and papers from Barbedoes to the 16th of February, announc ing the arrival of that gallant Admiral, and his in tention to run down the West India Islands, and then proceed to the Chesapeak. Sir JOHN had with him the Royal George, Temereire, Neptune, Tonnant, Admiral Ds Couacy, and Dragon. The Captain, Intrepid, and York, detar•hed from Madeira, by Sir S. HOOD, on the surrender of that Island, arrived at Barbadoes on the 2d i'e hruary ; and were on the 16th following left off Mart;nique, with the Defence, Ramillies, and Belleisle; Acosta, Eurydice, and Jason frigates, under the command of Admiral CocuaA!ec. The Ist Battalion of the 45th Regiment is to be stationed* St. Kitt's; the 634 is to remain at Barbadoes. Dirpatches were yesterday received at the Ad. intiralty, frets our fleet off the Tagus. dated the ht met. on board His MAJESTY** drip Hibernia, 110 gunk Vice-Admiral Sir CNARLILS COTTON, but they bring no news. The fleet was at that date in good health. Three more French fishing vessels have been sent into Portsmouth, making, with those already arrived there, 17. Among the reasons as.igned for the capture of vessels of this description, which have llnen hitherto suffered to pursue their peaceful call. ing, it is said that the creation of a Davy being a g►and object of Bosom/ass, it becomes Renee. eery to destroy his fishery, as France now possesse s no other nursery for seamen. The papers relative to the state and condition of the squadron under Si r R. STRACIIAN, off Rochfort, have been printed and laid before Parliament. They full• confirm the reports of the distress on board, in the mouth of December last. Sir Ricumtn,iu his letter, doted 25th Dec. last, says-- " I have pat flu squadron to two-thirds allowance of Mead, bat defer enlacing tha allowa.lee of spirits ea long as poss'irle, as well u the other tic/ provut.oLs, which are the Wicks, as you will perceive, the squadron i• most is want of. The weather h..• been such we have not been able to proportion the semsi.•s of provisions to each ship." Sir R. STaACNAN, i n his letter, &tied otf Belleisle, 4th Jan. to Lord GAIRData, odys, " Your Lordship will perceive the squadron is reduced to three weeks provisions." In his letter of the 160 Jan. he says-- "Tile Mistletoe wad the Superb joined the siosslren au the 12th, the Lavinia oa the 2 sth, and the Culussns yesterday The weather has been so bad we could aut dear the 31cdia tor till this day, and are now bogy at wos k." This letter is dated ten leagues S.W. of 'inch Bonties.—ln his letter from same place, dated the 18th, he says-- 0 The weather lies been such, that we have not been able to finish clearing the Ma/tater, or resuniing out station off Chneacron. The enemy, our readers wi❑ tecollect, escaped from Roc hefort on the 176. Admiral Row tre left town, yesterday, to assume biseomuind in the West Indies.

Yesterday was the first day of Spriug, and, as such, hailed by all the beaus and belles of this great metropolis, who, with one consent, to see and be sees, paraded those ehasuing promenades, and dis played the greatest variety of costume. In this crowd were much beauty and fashion ; some ladies, in light blue velvet pelisses, and caps to match, attracted much notice ; also a lady in a scarlet shawl, put on in drapery, and who wore a Tartan bonnet, was universally admired. Sarsnet pelisses, with bonnets to match, were almost universal. The colours grey and fawn ; also a great variety of shaded and shot sarimets ; a nausber of cottage and straw hats or bonnets, and a very few beavers. The gentlemen were chiefly dressed in green coats, single-breasted, with two rows of metal buttons, white waistcoats, light coloured smell-clothes, reaching to the middle of the calf of the leg, boots with white tops, and chequed muslin cravats., whole squares. The hats have high crowns, and the leaf turned up much at the sides, coming to a point at the front. l'he cariages acre altio ►ery numerous. • THL.ITREs. OPEIR.t.

This pedestrian exploit is to be performed in the course of a few days, within eight miles of that city. It was certainly a singular circumstance, al though the mtmorable PIVOT Diamond Lottery contained hut one Prise, that eery Ticket was sold before the drawing commenced. It would be a much more extraordinary circumstance if the Grand City Scheme, that stands at issue the 46th instant, and which contains so many Prizes of im mense value—in short, every Prise a Capital Prize—was to have a Ticket or Share in hand. The fact is, they have already advanced in price, and in a few days more the market is likely to be exhausted. Lew INrEurcinvet. COllaT OF CHANCERY, Lticotoes.la or, Arita 9.
