December 3, we find the following paragraph On Saturday evening last, arrived in this town from f'orfolk, by way or the city 01 Richmond, Prince Jerome and his Lady. They had taken their passage some short time since tor F once, in the French fr.gate Le Prevalent, of 44 guns, v.hich arrived at Ann.tpo lit, with the French Imperial Minister, General Turrcau, to this country. They were pursuing their voyage, but Madam.' Bonaparte being taken extremely ill, soon after they had gut to sea, the fri. ~ a te returned, and landed Jerome and his lady at N.; folk. They took lodgings at the Fountain I.m, .at 1 yebterd .y pursued th. it journey. "Captain ChaTtor, et the ship Stqtfurd, arrived at Balt imat it from llourdeaux, was boarded on the 28th of September, by the British frigate Cyregt; the officer which boarded the Stoljerd, informed Cap tain Chaytor that they came cut to cruise against the Spaniards. " Dne. 13, " A gentleman of respectability informs us, that he has jest Teethed advises front Point-a-Petre, through A confidential friend, stating, that a privateer called the Gnvedville, mounting 'A guns, and two 36 pound ers, with a complement of 1110 men, besides seamen and marines, had sailed front thence with or.let s to take all American vessels bound to rlispaniola, and hang the crews as pirates. "By a gentleman of St. Thomas's, we understand, that just before he left it (ahi or eight-ea days ago), a vessel had arrived from der.mii, with information that the French had abandoned st.: , town of St. DO. milgo, and had surrendered themseivrs prisoners to the I...nglish. " necr.l,l 3111 t 14. " We lea: it, that Mr. Nicholson has I.s ithUravrit his hill for the more effectual preservation of peace the jurisdiction of the United States, and that he has reported a new bill for that pu:po C. I.ly private letters received by Cie tluep from Havannah, dated the Hlth of Nov, inb , :r, it appears, that the British frigate Mermaid, and a sloop of war, were cruising of that port, to pantect the British trade in that qualms-, As it was supposed in I favannah. Before this, pahaps, the business of these ships is more futli explained. " The Houses of Congress w4hin these frw d t; have been entirely taken rip with the bunnes: of fudge Chase." ' DUTCH PAPERS: CADIZ, DIICEIA SFR 16. Several regiments of infantry, two reginkente of dragoons, and some companies of artillerymen, bombardiers, and miners, with a train of heavy ar tillery, and a quantity of ammunition, have arrived in the camp at St. Roch. These will speedily be followed by detachments of the Spanish guards, and the Swiss and Walloon Corps. The intention of these movements appears to be to endeavour to carry Gibraltar by storm, before the arrival of the troops who are daily expected there from England, to reinforce the garrison, which has been consider ably weakened by sickness. The General who cons. minds in the camp at St. Koch, has cut off all com munication with the fortress, and the service is exe cnted in the most attentive manner. The English keep fires and torches burning during the night, to prevent a surprise on the part of our troops Admiral Gravina and several other officers are expected here, to expedite the equipment of the ships of war. They will also proceed to Carthagena and other ports for the same purpose. As many sailors as eau be procured are collecting ro man them. ' General Moreau is to ta his passage for America in three weeks. The last accounts front Gibraltar state that the epidemic fever had entirely ceased, and that the few remaining sick were all in a fair way of reco very. Among those who have faller. viCtims to it arc Messrs. Glynn and Gazza, the former the Dan ish, and the lie.ter the Imperial Consul. A ripult is very prevalent here that the Eng lish have tak.n possession of the Island of Mi lli:Wed. TilE B.E6S )NDON, MONDAY, .lANve.av 21. The Manif.n.to of the l'aigl;sh Government, in answer to the Spanish Deelatation of war, has re ceived its final revision, and wiil be published without delay. The pape: s also in its support, referred to in His MAJ....V[Ii% Speech, are in the press, and will be laid before both Houses of Parliament, probably on Wednesday. They oc cupy above twenty folio sheets, and consist of the official correspondence between Lord HARROW. RY, Mr. Fava e, and the 'panisl: Minister, down to the I2th of November, when Mr. Ewe, not receiving a ealisfaetory answer to his tatimaimin, demanded his passports. Of course, the capture of the Spanish frigates off Cape St. Mary, which was not known at Madrid until a long time after, does not form any part of the correspondence ; nor can it affen the merits of the q teltion. The gl mind upon which the English Gov:rime:it had eLtermined to commence war against Spaia, was completely de. fined and ascertained on the 14th of November, the day on which oar Minister left Madrid. The prin cipal grounds of complaint Agailst Sp Lill .tee, the fitting out of armaments in the ports of that king dom, and the pecuniary supplies furnished by her to France, to an indefinite extent. To the demands of explanation on these heads, repeatedly m ged by our Minister, the answers of the Spanish Govern- ment are evasive, and ill security for the ob servance of her neutrality by Spun, evidently un- der th ittilaence and controul of France, was refused. The patience of the English Grvrernment thus exhausted, they resolved to obtain that security by force, which they despaired of effecting by ne gotiation. \Vial this view, they ordered the de tention of thr Spanish treasure ships ; and the Court of Madi id, finding the: e was no rooms for further subterfuge and evasiun, decla-ed war. A declara tion of war on our part foLinved, as a matter of course. We Lately announced, that the question of Ca tholic emancipation would be brought forward at ari early period of the pressor Session. We since stated, upon the authority of a party paper, that it was agreed by the Catholics is Ireland, who had taken it up, to postpone the measure. 'ibis is not the first time we have been deceived by party prints, which boast anikurity, the more effeaually to mislead and deceive. We shall, however, be m: re careful in future, not to yield our better information to their interested mistatements. The party which revived the business, have never lost sight of it for a mo. merit, and the petition to be presented to Parliament, had, on the 16th, received the signatures of so numerous and respedable a body of the Irish Ca tholics, as to be considered in a comple e state to be presented to Parliament. We should not be sir, prised, indeed, were it already arrived in this country, and if the bossiness shall be brought for ward in a few days. Into the policy, the right, or the expeili•tncy of this measure, we shall not now particularly enter. We shall only observe gene rally, that it may be difficult to discover any good purpose that can be answered by refusing the little that remains, after so much that has been conceded to the Catholics; that, among the loyal and well meaning, the disability now subsisting may excite jealousy ; and that, with the disloyal and ill-dis posed, it may serve as a mask to cover their designs agair.st the Government and the country. Those who incline to this opinion, will hear, with regret, that Mr. Fox is reported to be the Gentleman who is to present the Catholic Pctitir,n in the House of Commons. A more eloquent Advocate could nrd be chosen ; but the question would, perhaps, have a better chance of success in less able hands. — The Minister and his frien . ds did not hesitate to as sign their attachment to this measure, as the sole cause of their removal from office. They are pledged to the principle, and can only objeft on account of thc time. In Mr. Fox's hands, how ever, it becomes a pure party question, and the Minister is forced to oppose it with as much energy, as if he were adverse to the principle as .cell AS to the time. He must resist it with his whole strength, for can there be a doubt that it would not be blazoned as a decided vi Rory of Opposition over tlse Minister, should the question be came- un der the auspices of Mr. Fox and his triends.— The course which aulnrded the best chance of success, is that which should steer clearest of all prejudice and party, which was the most remote from party views, and the least likely to excite the jealousy of rival leaders, exasperate the feel ings, or implicate the interests of contending par ties. Some Gentlemen, therefore, less connedleil with party, and not so decidedly in opposition to the Mi nister, ought to have been chosen for the purpose. If one could be found willing to undertake it, who was totally unconnOted with party, and possessing just talents enough to command respell, the chance of success would perhaps be still greaser. But the Opposition have been so long in the habit of attack ing the Itlinister with Irish grievances, every mea sure of Irish redress originating in that quarter as sociates itself in the public mind with party feeling ; and a question of the most enlightened and liberal policy is in danger of being regarded as part of a system to embarrass the Minister and answer a selfish purpose. We have receiverl American Papers to the 15th ult. They contain nothing striking except a vague report of the evacuation of the town of St. Domingo, in the island of that name, by the French, who are said to have surrendered to the English force off that coast. This town WAS the only strong place is the island that remained in the hands of the french. Duch Papers have Leen received to the 9tb. They contain a Totter from Cadiz, announcing the intmion of the Spaniards to attempt the capture of Gibraltar. It was reported yesterday, that the Bishop of Coax is dead; that Lord Into BISUROND will be his successor; and that the Rev. Mr. BAOW/LLL will succeed to the Deanery oftlogher.

A Do a, for his departute from town this stay. We understand an embassy has been sent from the East India Company to the King of Coc MIN ('NINA, under the superinrendance of one of the Company's supra cargoes at Canton. Great c•un mercial advantages are expetted to arise to t h e Company from an alliance with this powerful na tion. No accounts had been reet:iveti at Bengal when the last ships left that place, of the manner in which the embassy was receivad. A new Bank is about to be established .it Madras, under the firm of some of the most considerable merchants of that settlement. Marquis We:As:stay is expeled, after having proceeded as far North in India as Delhi, to return to England by the way of Madras or Bo t nbar.

P,i tt. sr DUN DAs, Esq. who is appointed Governor of Prince of IVales's Island, is now in Scotland ; but is exnearted in town shortly, to proceed to India without delay—the principal part of the establish ment will, we understand, proceed by the China fleet.

MIL. sn a, Member for York, died last week at Exeter. A very few years back her Ladyship was admired as the finest, the most beautiful, and accomplished woman in the fashionable world, of which she was at once the ornament and the leader. For two years past her Ladyship had been in a very declinin g state of health, and obliged to withdraw from those scenes of elegant life over which her taste and acs complishments had so long shed a lustre. She had been lately at Dawlish, hut increasing illness in duceel her to remove to Exeter, which was stip. posed to afford better medical advice and assistance. KING'S 7HEIITRE.
