LON DON, WEDNESDAY, .1 ASI;A IC Y 2. A strong squadron of ships of war is to he sta tioned in Bantry Bay, for the proteCtion of Ireland against invasion. The Thula rer and two other ships of the line had arrived on the 22d. We are concerned to state, that the inrmer had got a-ground, but hopes were entertained that she would be got off. We understand accounts have been received from Bombay, of a very distressing nature ; a great failure has taken place in the crops of rice, Scc. and famine threatens the settlement, and its de pendencies. Every precaution has been taken by the Government abroad, to afford subsistence to the natives ; and it is hoped the prompt rneasitres adopted by them will not fail in the desired erred. By a Gentleman who arrived in London yester day from Prince of Wales's Island, we learn, that previous to the 21st June, the time lie left the Island, the Fort had been considerably strengthened, and several new works thrown up, sufficient for the pro tection of the trade in the roads, and for repelling the enemy, should they make any attempt upon the bland Every attention, it appears, has been paid to this valii 'We settlement. The 11 flgh laglis, Captain FAIRFAX, which had put into Prince of Wales's Island, to repair a leak, bad undergone a complete rt-pair, ald was taking in her cargo again to proceed on I•er voyage to Europe, in company with the Woodford, Captain MA" from China. The 114,4 Ixghs, a few days after she left 7i9engal, recapiured a snow, which had been taken by a Frew. h privateer, and carried her sate into Prince of W.iles's I.'land. 'two Ditch line of battle ships, and a higatp, were lying in Bantam Roads, having sailed from Batavia on the Vtl May, with • i.eputatiott on board, for tlyl purpose of proclaiming a new lei ig on the islan.4 of Bantam, the former King having bees as sassinated by his brother. The men of war were reported to be badly maimed, and in great want of Furor:an provisions, and articles ot every kind. Gin was selThig at Batavia as high as 75 dollars per cam., and wine at three dollars per bottle,. 'the privateci a, from the. (Admire Islands, had been so numerous on the coast of Malacca, that they resisted every attempt made by the Chinese mci of war to subdue them. In May, they plundered se veral towns. and were getting more audacious d lily. It was the intention of the Chinese Government to fit out the N. Au: , grab, Capt. MacAtl I, AV, as a ; and preparations had taken place for carry ing this plan into elle& which, it was Cl;WaCti, would, in the cud, succeed. lli, last r'a ship remront, Capt.

The Pbaries frigate, Captain CucKetita, attired at Bengal the Sid of June. The Pllitrftl Mille and Nerekresples rum ships arrived at St. Helena, early in 041ober last, and may be exp./led to arrive daily. A vivre letter from Pates states, that a conti nental war, or a general peace, ivespeavd to prove the immediate result of the proposals which BrIII 4- t ha• rerrieteJ his Ministers to make at the se veral Courts, in manner ring his cowectation by the I ' o►s, as Laver( rof the Iteneh. B irno Kansaas- Yu •T's the eztraralituary .‘mbassasior from Prussia, a *' +.w• man high b the << r...lenee anJ careens of hi. -- Sovereign, has had frequent conferences with the Mock Emperor, to which the regular Prussian Am bassador, the Marqnis LVCCIIESINI, W. 3 not admit ted, an.l scarcely a day passes on which he does not sena a Courier to Berlin. Baron KNOBLEADORTE, notwithstanding these frequent inter views with which he is honoured by the Corsican, is treat*-d coolly by him and his Misnister, T• Lev ea No, upon all pub lic occasions; while the Austrian Ambassador, Count COBENTZEI, is treated with evident m..rks of dis tinetion. It is hence supposed in the diplomatic cir cles at Pets, that the Usurper is dissatisfied with the Prussian Cabinet, but wishes, at the same time, to regain his influence over its decisions, by in spiring it with a jealousy of Austria. The sei zure of Sir (hullos; R1P41101.15 is considered the primary cause of the coolness now subsisting be tween France and Prussia ; a coolness since enereas ed by the firmness of the latter in its demand of satisfaCtion fur that public outrage, and the insolence of 136 s A PART e in refusing a satisfaii'ery explanation ; a refusal rendered still more insulting by his imper tinent reference to his Note from Aix-la-Chapelle, in which he says, "he frank& declared his deter mination to exclude all British diplomatic Agents from the proteEtion of the laws of natioas." These very words have been used by TA L LEY R.% ND, in his communications with several foreign Ambassadors, upon the suhjel of the arrest and liberation of Sir GEORGE RUM BOLD. Upon one of these occasions, the Marquis Lut•catstisr demanded, whether he was to consider such communication official, as in such case he would feel it his duty to apprise his Sovereign to that effefl The crafty Ex-Bishop answered, that it was purely confidential, and not to be considered as an official assertion. The treatment of Prussian subjeCis in France is a further evidence of the coolness between France and Prus sia. They are treated with more severity than any other foreigners, and for the slightest indiscretion are committed to prison. Among the many thus rigidly dealt with is a Mr. ROB IT, a ['Malian watch maker, lately van to the Temple, for saying its a Coffee-house, at Paris, that there wasmorereal liberty in his country than in any other part of the world. Although immediately claimed by the Pacssi•e AsssAssanoa, the greatest indulgence which he could obtain was, his deportation beyond the con fines of the Corsican Empire, altar the French Re pubiic, under pain of death, if he should ever return. KLEILT g, another Prussian subjea, and an Officer, was, after six days imprisonment is the Temple, sent to the other side of the Rhine, for speaking too familiarly of Prince Louis • BONAPARTE, of whom he was formerly the intimate companion at Berlin. These proofs of French fraternity have produced a great migration of Prussian visitors from the hospitable bosom of the French territory. We have received Dutch Papers to the 26th ; hut the intelligence bons France, which they contain, is not of so late a date as that of which the public are already in possession. It may be inferred horn them, that no declaration of war was made by the Splnish Government on the `27th cf November, thy day on which it was expened to take place. All lit itidi property, however, Wda put into sequestration, and goards of Spanish soldiers were placed in the houses of the Englr.h merchants and Consul at ✓Malaga. It is to be expefted that si m Mar rigour has been exercised in the other ports of Spin. The intelligence from Madrid reaches to the last day of November, and p.sitively states, that or ders 11.13 been transmitted to the Sc tarsia Avass ,anoa At Landon. to demand his passports. The same causes which have operated to retard the :arrival of Mr. Faeß►;. have most probably pre vented the appearance of the Spanish Courier. It is at Carthagena that the Plague has again appeared, and not at Malag t. The Rrtl haul frigate has carried a Spanish ship into I.:•iitth Th..: f l atly a a 114, ,, , I.‘ r wiw,from ('alasgow, fur Liverpool, has sunk nem Kin , :sle, crew saved The Nelsno, Sawn , , ft..m I)emAt ar.t, for Liverpool, is on shoo: ue.o kittsale, part ut the catgo saved. The Moot, WILLIAM% from 13:111gOe for London, has been driven out of Scilly, and lust near Cork. From all the accounts which have reached us it appears that there has scarcely ever been known so long a contimtance of easterly winds blots mg with so much violence as in the present season. Every vessel that has either put to sea, nr been driven Irmo her anchrrs, has invariably been forced to the Westward. We are therefore not is the least sur prised at the long delay of Mr. Versa. A letter from Ntatir , .l, of the lose date of 13ec. states, that. not wit I: standing the arrival of the French Minister, Genet it II urso%vtt.ea. at that capital. no new system of a, livity had been adopted by the Spanish Calsinrt ; sash. aint.ng those supposed to be best acquainted with the measures of the Coon, an opinion prevailed. di a no declaration of oat w add be issued. although one of considerable length had been prepared by the special direetiou. of the PaiNct of ri:ACI.

The Serpentine River, yesterday,. again auricled a very numerous aSSerte,Loge of skaiters; In att. catty part of the day, a slight thaw coming on, for come time occasioned a degree of dullness in the ice, which made it very unpieeaant ; but, in less two hours, the frost reatmed its influence, and made it infinitely better than it had been before. Mr. Moore, son of the Archbishop of Cam:ubury, and Mr. Watts, of the custom-house, appeared to hav e a trifling superiority over the many other first -rat., performers, They skaited together fur the greatest part of the day, cutting the same figure ot always meeting in the middle, and saluting cleft other in a very graceful manner; sometimes they would, with two other Gentlemen, cut a double figure of eight, alteinatelv .neeting and retiring, a t if they were dancing a Highland reel; at another time, Mr. Monte would, after running a comer:km ble way, to give himself birce, destunte a spacious circle, skaiting backwards on the out-edge, NI , .

Of course, every 4.l.mhin: fellow was there. At about half-past three, whet considerable crowd had assembled round this spot, a huge, athletic fellow, belonging to the lum se-guardi, who had been driving up and down for some time before, came running as fast as he possibly could to that part where they stood, and, having sprung ove: the wooden rails which projea into the River, he came down at the other side, wah such juice, that a lar,4e. crack ran along the ice. Three ladies made their appearance at different times, and acquitted them selves with great spirit and litunress, skaiting on the flat one of them, the young lady whom we mentioned in our Paper of yesterday, made several very successful attempts in skaiting un the out edge, in which she WAS f ortunate enough nut to get a single fall. 'ffie ice in Kensington Gardens was very tine, and it is probable that it will be the scene et . pleasure for this day, should the frost continue sa long.
