The report that Parliament will meet at end of next mouth, or the beg gof November, which we lately noticed, is now repeated with con fidence in the Ministerial Journals. Sense of the Patio Papers to the 6th have been received, containing news from Vienna to the g7th last; but they leave the illocution of peace or war precisely as it stood ; we only learn, that the Austrian armies are in constant motion.

The purticulurs not hosing transpired, the relatives of her officers and crew hare of course suffered great sorrow and anxiety on their account ; and the Admiralty has been since daily assailed with in cessant inquiries after their fate. Dispatches were yesterday receirsd from Admiral DE Cocactr, oiumander-in-Chief on the Brazil station, dated the aist of Jour, and we are happy to state, that they announce the safety of all the officers and men, and also the whole of the stores of that nufortanate semi.

This nomitiation is, perhaps, more a proof of the public wishes, titan of coy positive arrangement to that et et. Such is the inveteracy of the disease contracted by our troops in Waleheresi, it does not appear to he abated by their return to their unitive dares.
