The Mediate, fiigate, with the Royal George, floury A.Orgion, Warr. ,u Hastings', rr,,fo,d, and the Bombay Castle, East Indiamen, which sailed from Portsmnuth on the I7th iit February, arrived at Mad irk the lUth of March. The nw,,sheruf packet, with the Mails from Lis bon, attired at Falmouth on Tuesday, after a pass age of eleven days. By her advices have been re ceived at Ltov o's, that Admiral Cocirk r, with his squadron, consisting of the Sr. Gross, 96 ; Nortkuntkrlnud, 74 ; Eagle, 74 ; .1,'1n5,74 ; Spartter. 74 ; and Veteran, 61 , , had arrived at Madeira on the 11th March, and sailed the same day in pursuit of the French Fleet. Another account states, that the squadron stopped only two hours off that I land. Now it further appears, that the Rochfort squadron passed to the westward of Madeira upon rlyr 2.1 of February, and arrived at Martinique upon the 19th. Admiral C -OCHRA NE% squadron sailed from off Lisbon upon the Bth Match, in conse quence of advice of an enemy's fleet having been seen upon the 17th of February, 100 leagues to the westward of Cape St. Vincent, lat. r. 5. which fleet is supposed to have passed the north-east end of Madeira about three weeks before his arrival, which would bring it to about the 18th February, the day preceding the arrival of the Rochfort squa dron at Martinique. If these premises be corref, it follows of necessity, that a second French squa dron is gone to the West Indies, probably part of the Toulon fleet; a circumstance which we have more than once urged as a very probable conclu• si.m, from the accounts in the Pari; papers. •I'he squadron seen on the 17th inierr,, have also escaped, with equal probability, from Brest, during one of the intervals of interruption in the blockade of.that port. The report spread by the Rochfort sepia dron. upon its arrival in the West Indies, that it expeled to be immediately joined by another squad ron from France, is another strong feature in the case, which will not escape the notice of those who speculate upon this interesting stilrjea: The fm9 al the sailing of this second squadr , n, if clearly as• certained, would greatly change the aspelt of affairs in the West Indies. There is no chance that Ad , mind Cocf4R ANE, who passed Madeira on the I It! , March, would be able to overtake a squadron seen 100 leagues to the west of Cape St. Vincent, three weeks before ; and the Rochfort squadron, which consisted of five ships of the line and five frigates, if reinforced by this second f1..2t, must prove more than a match for Admiral COCHRANE. These doutrts and fears had yesterday a considerable in fluence in the City. The report of the capture of St. Lucie was still in some degree of credit, and 25 per cent. was refusal upon insurance from that Is land. Many, however, treated the rumour with contempt, upon the ground that we have an effeltive military force of 600 men in St. Lucie. Defended by flou British troops, it would, we believe, be to lerably safe ; but we must not forget that many of these troops are French, who would probably seise th first opportunity to join their countrymen. In uric ye: r 1763, St. Lucie was ceded to France. The English took it in 1779, but restored it at the peace in 1783 ; and, in the year 1794, it was again taken by tile English, under the command of Sir Cri•RIES GREY and Sir JOHN icavis. Thus, of the last for ty-two years, it has been twenty-five he the posses sion of the French ; and, from the nature of its po pulation, must be liable to receive the impression of French influence. Several well-informed per sons, who know the West Indies by experience, and speak from local knowledge, are of this opinion. The report of the evacuation of Dominica by the French gains ground, although it rats upon merely GOTTENBURGH MAILS. ZIT RAC O► A LETTER ►ROM STOCKHOLM, DATED AtRIL 4, 1805. a We have been for some time past in expeEtation, that the embargo put upon our ships in the harbours of France would be taken off, and that maucrs be tween the two countries would be accommodated ; but today we hear that orders have been sent to Carlsruhe to fit out immediately two frigates and two cutters for the proteftiou of our trade." GOTCZNOURGII, APRIL 8. A Russian courier, charged with important dis• patches, has embarked in the packet to-day for Eng land. COPLNIIAGEN, 11411 CH 22. This spring we will have a squadron of ten arm ed vessels, but none larger than corvettes. It will cruise off the coast of Norway, for the purpose of teaching the cadets. The Commander is nut known. , A letter from St. Petersburgh, of the 41st of March, states, that the Commission established for the revision of old criminal 7ff:sirs, has lately pre sented a report to the Emperor, in consequence of which, His Majesty has pardoned several exiled persons. The situation of the Jews in Russia is to be greatly ameliorated. On the 9th of Fe bruary an Utast was published, which gives them a civil existence, the same as is enjoyed by the sub ie.% of Rus'.ia. It contains the following principal articles :—" The children of Jews are to be received at all the public schools, &c. and there insProCled like other children. Should the Jews objeCt to .. . verbal accounts.— Another ship, arrived at Duvet., has brought the same advices as the Denier arn.—A boat which came off from Barba hoes, whilst the ships were off that Island, stated, that signal guns were firing from the batteries for a fhlet to Whal wari, supposed to he the Cork fleet. The Townchenrl packet has also brought an ac count, that JEROME BON APARTL, his lady, and suite, have effected their long meditated escape from Ame rica. They embarked on the Ist of February, at Baltimore, on hoard the American ship E.Jou and arrived on the 5d instant in the Tagus, when the veisel was immediately put under quarantine. As the Mock Emperor of France has condemned this match, and ordered a de cree to be inserted among his laws, declaring the marriage illegal, upon the ground that JEROME was under age when it was contrasted, this fair American is not likely to receive much favour in France. somc attribute this dislike of his sister in-law to his fears of admitting so mach beauty intc the presence of Madame Bona? a rE, and of inferences in public estimation not favourable to that Lady, when contrasted with such superior charms ; but this is too puerile :s motive for NAPJLZON BONAPARTE, and does not appear to have been felt by him in the case of any of his other brothers. Amb:tion, we should presume, dietated his opposition to hito E's mirriage.— He originally intended to make JLROME Lord High Admiral of the Seas, and had aCtu.illy in vested him with the titleofttit, foiled in that, he will shew England that he can do better for him, and no doubt had some kingdom in Nit° for his appanage, and some Queen of Erne PIA in pette for his bride. It was yesterday reported in the political circles, that Mr. CANNING, and another of Mr. PITT'S in timate friends, had pressed him to resign. The advice, if any such has been given, is supposed to he the result of the difficulty whi.:h he finds to pro cure an adequate First Lord of the Admiralty. We have not heard any new names mentioned, nor do we believe that any material progress has been made towards a new arrangement. All the capable men in opposition remain stannch, and will not budge a step hut in abody. It is the general opinion that Mr. Yoe); s would fill the situation with credit to himself and advantage to the public; but his friends do not wish he should resign his seat for Cambridgeshire, until Viscount Romos, his nephew, eldest son of Earl HARD* ICKI, now entering upon his 41st year, shall be of age.—However desirous that noble fa mily may be to preserve their influence in Cam bridgeshire, we should hope that such a consider ation would not be a decisive objection, and that the circumstance of a high place and a peerage must preponderate in the opposite scale. Other reports say, that the piece will be provisionally filled by Lord Hoop. At day-light, on Wednesday morning, the Owen made the signal, a: Portsmouth, for the transports employed on the secret expedition to follow her to St. Helen's ; but they did not get down until lice in the evening. The wind, however, on Thursl4y, became unfsrourable„ and the expedition was unable to work out of the Roadstead I but it is proltsble that it has sailed down Channel before this tune. Sir Jauss CItA to did not go oc board until yesterday, having waited on shore for an answer to a question communicated by the telegraph to the Admiralty on Wednesday. Yesterday two Mails arrived from Gottenlltirglt Their contents are given in a preceding column.

The whole of the Leeward Island fleet for the Clyde (except the General Hunter, M'PHUL, front Demerara, which is supposed to have gone to Fal mouth, agreeable to insuudions) arrived on Satur day and Sunday. On the Ist inst. a Portuguese line-of-battle ship, a frigate, aid a sloop of war, sailed from Lisbon in quest of four Algerine cruisers, which had 1an. , e,1 several men on the coast of Algeciras, and carried off above two hundred of the inhabitants. Meetings are called in Kent, Surry, Hampshire, Middlesex, and other Counties, on the subjed of the public expenditure. The Middlesex Meeting is fixed for the Ist of May. A Common Council is also summoned for Tuesday next, when a congra tulatory Address to His MaitsrY, on the Vote 01 the House of Commons, is intended to be moved. Mr. GAItROW, the Barrister, was on Thursday eleded a Representative in Parliament, for the Bo rough of Canon, in Surrey. Northfleet Volunteers have recently beer. thrown into some confusion, by having no less than nine of their corps impressed for the naval service. They had been working as lumpers on board an out ward-bound East-Indiaman, lying in North fleet Bite, from whence they were taken by the Captain of a gun-brig, who came in short of hands. Application has been made to the MAYOII of GRA VESSt4D, to obtain their discharge, and the transadion will shortly be the subject of legal investigation. TR Eill RE, I COVENT-GARDEN. Mr. Cot N AN'9 new Comedy, Who want: a nea? was repeated here last night, with encreased success. For this result, the piece is indebted to several judicious alterations which it has undergone since the first representation. The charafter of the Irish Baronet is divested of much of its coarse ness, and was given last night by Mr. Lewis, with considerably more of the polish of fashion able hie. The part of hide Hercxles, the servant of the Irish Baronet, has also hen struck en tirely out of the piece. It was a silly charaarr, which gave a ludicrous air to the whole play. The author, by thus yielding to the public taste, has confirmed a viClory, which one of less good sense would lave probably risked by perseverance in error. The Comedy, thus improved, shone with increased splendour, and was accompanied by the most un qualified applause. It may now be considered as established in public favour, and, though it may not have long life, will probably enjoy a merry one. A C''''• .. .), : \ . t -.00 , " : I''' V * ~ .:..1 • • :,' ..
