R Dover Letter states, that several of Gene ral ANDR EOSSI'S Attendants arrived at Calais on Monday and that the General himself was expeB - there yesterday, but the wind was unfavourable for his coming over. He will probably arrive at Dover this day, and may therefore be . expeaed in Town to-morrow. WE last night received the Paris Paters to the 31st 'ult. Though the accounts from Switzerland are as contradiaory as usual, there appears to be no doubt but that, in consequence either of the re fusal of tile Diet of Schrwitz to comply with the orders of the .French Government, or of their at tempting to gain time, by evading a direa answer, the French Troops have entered that devoted Coun try— : 1600 French Troops have taken possession of the City of Basil, and Citizen RAF P has set out for Zurich, to restore order and tranquillity there, and to rescue the French Party, or as they are termed, the Patriots, from the persecutions which are exer cised against them; but to enable him to accomplish this objea effeaually, it was thought necessary that he should he preceded by same Battalions of French Troops. But although some of the Cantons, who, from their situation, are more immediately exposed to the attacks of the French, have shrunk from a contest against Forces so superior, yet the smaller Cantons seem determined to resist. The Dirt of Sch'witz has_ refused to dissolVe itself, and instead of disbanding their Forces, they are said to haw: " organized anew the Counter-Revolution in se. I veral of the Cantons disposed to return under the dominion of the Helvetic Government." The Helvetic Diet have resumed Aheir Sittings at B,rne, and General NEY has kindly promised them every assistance in his power, to restore tranquillity.— They have passed a Decree for sending Deputies from the different Cantons and Communes to Paris, where they are to assemble on the rgth inst. to discuss the Rights of the People of Switzerland, and to receive the orders of the Government of France. In a Letter from Basil, dated the 17th, brought by the Dutch Mail which arrived yesterday, it is stated, that in consequence of the interposition of the Russian Minister at Paris, a Convention had been agreed to, in consequence of which the French Troops were not to enter Swit zerland, and the Helvetic Government were to be allowed to return to Berne, but having settled the ac counts of their Administration, they were to resign their offices. What credit ought to be given to this statement, we will not take upon ourselves to deter.. mine, nor is it very important to inquire, as the fad is ascertained, that the French have 'entered that Country. It appears by a Letter from Petersburg'', dated the 2a Oft. that the British and French Ministers in that Capital presented Notes to His IMPERIAL MAJESTY in the name of their respeaive Go_ vernments, to request him to undertake the gua rantee of Malta, according to the provisions of the Treaty of Amiens ; but the answer of His PERIAL MAJESTY is not stated. The Deputation at Ratisbon have not yet agreed to a Conclusum upon the new Plan of Iliaemni'ties. The French Funds on the zgth, were 53. 65. Tie following is a Copy 7oFthe Circilar Letter sent rdund from the. Treasury : to many Members of the House of Commons it. sir., Downing—street, Nov. 2. , • As upori the Meeting*of Parliament, which is fixed for the 16th of this month, the House of Commons will immtcliate. ly proceed to the choice of a Speaker, and to the considera tion of other matters of importance, I take the liberty 0 ac quaint you that a full attendance is highly desirable at the opening of the Session. I have the Honour to be, &c. &c. (Signed) HENRY ADDINGTON. On Monday Her Royal Highness the DUTCH ESS of YORK arrived at Bath, where she purposes con tinuing during the winter. The Dutchess of GLOUCESTER, and her amiable Daughter, are now in Town, and daily take their excursion in Hyde-Park. lier Grace the Duchess of MARLBOROUGH has lately erefted a fine range of Alms-Houses near Woodstock, and endowed them with a handsome sum of money. - The benefit the poor derive from her bounty is very great, as the poor of one Parish in the seven, that - surround Blenheim Park, are daily fed and maintained by her generosity. The Duke and Dutchess of DEVONSHIRE are going to pass a few days at Hardwicke. The Hon. COI. BURTON, brother to the Earl of CONYNGFIAM, arrived in Town with his Family yesterday from Ireland. Col. \TER EKER, who, at the head of the Lime_ rick Militia, checked the progress of the French Army when they landed in Ireland, and Ncho is now Member for that City, is arrived in Town The Honourable Mr. TUFTON, with a party of Friends, are now partaking•of the amusements that Paris affords. A Letter from Bath 'saes; Mr. PITT has taken lodgings in Pulteney-streefi An .the public eye is eager to procure a sight of `the' who wea:hered the severest Storms that ever raged ,in this Kingdom. He has expressed a desire that he maybe considered, in every respea, as a private•GmtleMan, it havi3g been intimated that some public mark of respett was about to be paid to this exalted and enlightened Statesman. On Monday the z+th of May last, Lieutenant_ Colonel SYMES, of His Majesty's 76th Regiment, with his suite, embarked on board the Honourable Company's cruizer the Mornington, Lieutenant FRos - r, on an important embassy to the KING of BURMAN. We are sorry to state the death of Lieut. SLINGS BY, of the Honourable Company's Infantry,. at the Moluccas. He belonged to the Madras Establish ment, and wps treacherously shot at, and killed, by a Malay Chieftain, near the post at which he com mended. We are sorry to hear of the death of Mr. STRUTT, a Gentleman well known in the Literary World, and particularly distinguished for his antiquarian researches. The yellow fever still rages in the French Wesl India Islands, and apprehensions are entertained of its ,being introduced into France. The frigate La Petisb, which'hrought the account of the death of General RICO EVANSE, is ordered under quarantine at Brest. Madame RTCHEPANSR is on board. The frigate La Comete, from St. Domingo, was obliged to perform fifteen days quarantine before her crew were permitted to land. The Dutch c Governmept,halig - ,proposed to the Le. gislature to grant a Pat49n4941 , Subaltern Officers and Privates, as well Of cliesea.as - of the Land Ser. vice,.who have been g,ttilty of desertion, and whose crime ii - pot attended with any aggravated circum- stances. The Government have 'also proposed,' 1. A .re gulation for dividing the Departments. into arron disseme,7t ; and ;2. Another, fixing the wirier in which the Votes shall •he given; and also A to the sufficiency of the Rc.Ctors. Tilt two Nigales of French Troops in the Fray of Holland, are to be embArke4 for Lguiarilia the ih.:gioning of tbi: rmnih, DOTTER, Nov. 2. SEVERAL of General ANDREOSSI'S Attendants arrived at Calais yesterday, and the General him self was fully expected there at noon to-day. It is supposed the wind set so far into - Calais Harbour, that no Vessel could get out this afternoon's tide, so that he is not expeaed here tutil to-morrow. " -' THE THEATtr.—The Comedy of The Arerg . IVives 4P'qlji/th' i sor was represented hst. night at Drury-Lane Theatre, and STE PH EN KEMB L E'S Fa/- Staff again drew a numerous audience, whom he appeared very highly to gratify, as he received throughout abundance of applause. The alterations and omissions which have taken place in the new Comedy of aellys and Blunde) 5, shew a commendable submission in the Author to the opinion of the Public, and have indeed very much improved the piece. It went off last night with such success as seems to presage that it will probably be at least popular through the Season. Mrs. SIDDONS has renewed her engagement in Ireland, and'is not likely to return to this country for some Months. Her success has been very great, and her performances highly admired. KEMBLE has enjoyed better health since he has been abroad than he possessed in this Country for many years.—He was subjet to an habitual cough in this Country, which has, never troubled him on the Continent. STEPHEN KEMB LE'S daughter, a very fine young lady of about sixteen, who api.)eared upon the stage in her infancy, ventured last week to come forward again in her Father's Theatre at Newcastle. She played the part of Rosina, and as soon as she had recovered from the embarrassment which timidity occasioned, supported the charaaer with simplicity and elegance. Her voice is very sweet, and she is well acquainted with Music.. She has since per-. formed the characters of Violante, in The Wonder, Laura, in The Agreeable Surprize, and Leonora, in The Padlock. The applause of the Audience seemed to be the result of a warm approbation, and she is likely, _to loecoßs.,a great acquisition to the Stage. It is extraordinary, that the Lady who is said to have more thap,an haxdredDresses, should generally appear almost naked ! Mr. KING, Master of the Ceremonies of the Lower Rooms, in Bath, has commenced an a&ion against the Proprietor of them, for having refused to open,them this season. The reasons which have induced the Proprietor to adopt so extraordinary a measure, we are not acquainted with. The Marriage Ceremony between a young couple of Floldby, was put a stop to last Thursday for some time, by the bridegroom, a sailor, abruptly.declar ing that he did not care how much better his wife' might turn out, hut he had pre-determined if she ever grew worse, to dispose of her as soon as he could, and would tell no lies in church about it. No. argument could prevail on him to plight his troth, till the father engaged to take her home, and love and cherish her for the husband,. in case she really grew worse after marriage. - Joseph Lettice, Valet to the well known John King, was brought in custody to Bow-street, yes terday, on a warrant wherein he stood charged on oath, by Thomas Searle, an Officer of the Sheriff of Middlesex, with violently assaulting him in the execution of his duty. It appeared, that on Monday evening last, Searle having a Writ against King, he went to his house in Duke -street, near Portland-place, and having obtained entrance, by getting down the area, and in at the kitchen door, he was immediately assaulted . by the Prisoner Lettice, notwithstanding he in formed him he had a Writ against King. The noise brought down King, and the Right Honourable Lady Lantishotough ; the former of whom, on learning his business, joined in the assault. The poker and • itings were then had recourse to ; and -the two fititiMe servants assisting in the cause of their MiSt&,. the scuffle l)ecame general.. King was rescued, and made good his retreat to the yard of an adjoining house ; Where, however; he was found, and the caption at length made good. —He was first taken to a lock-up house ; but there being detainers in the .Sherirs-office against him, to the amount of near five, thousand pounds, the Officer, for his own. securit; thought proper to lodge him the same night in Newgate. The Prisoner in his defence admitted the assault, but denied being apprised of the business the Com-. plainant came about, although he acknowledged that he knew his master's situation, and had re ceived positive orders from him as to guarding' every entrance to the house ,against bailiffs. He was ordered to find bail for assaulting the Officer in the execution of his duty. The Officer's face chewed marks of some very hard blows. • On Thursday Capt. T—, whose misapplication: of certain monies committed to' his charge, had placed him under some ennbarrassmentsi abandoned his duty at :Woolwich, and decamped with the wife of another Gentleman ; but they had not proceeded far on'the road before they were pursued and over taken, when Captain T— clapped a pistol to his . head, which instantly exploded, and blew out his brains.—Lewes journal.' And on Friday, Captain HEAVEN, who com manded a Detachment of Artillery, at Battle-Bar racks, in a fit of insanity cut his throat in a dread ful manner, and expired almost immediately after. —lbid. O 4 Monday se'nnight, Lord PE LHAm presided at a Meeting6l4lle Commissioners of Newhatren Har bouri; held atihe White Hart, Lewes. Lord SH EF- F ELby BLACKMAN, and a great number of CommisSiciners, attended. This would, make a safe, easy Harbour for Ships of 300 tons and upwards. A Resolution was put and carried, stating the want of a harbour, as well as its beneficial consequences to the trade of Newhaven and Lewes : that a Memo rial should he presented to that effel to the Lords of the Admiralty, requesting their approbation and as sistance, the Funds arising from the tolls of the har bour being inadequate for the undertaking.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM AN OFFICER IN Hls MAJESTY'S SHIP ISIS, DATED THE 27TH. OF AUGUST. " On the 1.1. th of'Augusr, having struck sound., ings on the Banks of Newfoundland, came on sud denly a violent hurricane, after a strong breeze at' • S. E. that had put the Isis under little sail, and the top_gallant-yards on deck ; the violence of wind, which surpassed any thing of the kind ever before witnessed by the oldest Mariner on board, pressed the ship on her beam ends, blew away every rag of canvas, main-top-mast and fore.tap_gallant. , mast ; though nothing set abaft the f:re.mast., the loss of these masts and sails did not apparently re lieVe her-I—sbe lay immerged in the water with the helm up, without veering, until the Mizen-masC was cut away, which had the desired effect—and saved the ship. The Aurora was in company, and luckily only under a fore. top.mast-stay-sail, which together with all her topmasts, and jib-boon - 1, were blown away, but providentially saved .the ship, she was imminent danger. of foundering.;` " I shall never forget the magnanimity evinced by Capt. BRACE, when the ship was on her beam ends, and expecting every moment she would sink, it animated the men, and they obeyed his orders with the greatest _alacrity. " We were just six weeks from the day we left Spithead till we anchored in St. John's Harbobr. "'Admiral GAMBIER hai promoted the following Officers : Lieutenant BA Kw Ei. t. to be a Commander; and Messrs. DAVIDSON, WRIGHT, and. SMITH/ Midshipmen, to be Lieutenants. " Two seamen received one hundred and fifty lashes each, round the Squadron, pursuant to the sentence of a Court Martial, for deserting from the; Aurora." .A Court Martial, which began on Wednesdal last on board the Courageux, of 7+ guns, in H a moazes sin Joseph Beard, late Ward-room Steward of tb6 Co - urageux, finished on Saturday. The charges ,against the Prisoner were, " for stealing v ari'l articles, the property of the Ward-room Mess,_ ..for propagating reports on shore, tending to the in' jury of His Majesty's Service." After hearing t b , ° Evidence for the Prosecution, and the Prisoner Defence, he was acquitted of the charges preferre against him.
