COPY OF A LATTER TO CAPTAIN GRINDALL. SIR, " We, the Crew of His Majesty's Ship under your com mand, being deeply impressed with the most loyal attach :rent and duty to our beloved and revered Sovereign and Country, feel the highest sense of that subordination essen aally and indispensibly due to Commanders. It is, there low with the .Tiost sincere . v s t?: ete. expres!; epyr ricsirc of convincing the Lords of the Admiralty, awl the Nation at large, that we never had ! the least Correspondence with any Ship or Ship's Company whatever during the late Mutiny. We are, therefore, propokionably hurt by the im putation of our being concerned in a crime which we abhor, and much lamented to hear was so atrociously committed on board the Temeraire. " In consequence of our services being particularly re quired in behalf of our Country, We take this opportunity of expressing our readiness to go on any duty the Lords of the Admiralty may think proper to appoint. We hope, Sir, at the same time, that you and your Qfficers will consider us as men far different from what we have beeti represented : as men who feel themselves most anxiously desirous of de- • serving and receiving the esteem due to loyal Subjeas, and the zealous defenders of our Country. We•have farther to express the high sense of gratit4e and respea due to you and your Oirleers—partieularly Mr. Loy E, by whose advice we express our desire to go in a state of due subordirtation and alacrity to any part we may be ordered. In a word, we. hope and trust, that we shall be considered, as it will be our ut most endeavours to prove obedient to duty, and " Your obedient humble Servants, • " The SHIP'S CREW in GENERAL." The above statement of the'crew of the For midable not being in the least concerned in the late mutiny, was corroborated by the•following decla ration of Ward; to the Chaplain and Officers, just before ,the awful moment of his execution yesterday ..-morning on board the above .ship:— • c , We never had any powder, at any time, from the Formidable, or any communication with her crew whatever."

Captain BULLER has resumed the Command of the Achille, of 74. guns, vice WALLts. Lieutenant EDWARDS, late of the Royal William, is appointed a Lieutenant of Haslar Hospital, vice M'GREGOR, deceased. Capt. MEANLAND, of the Schooner Roebuck, which arrived at New-York from Curracoa on the rgth December, states, that, on his passage., he fell in with His Majesty's ship La Renard, who informed him, that, having sent his ship's boat ashore at Cape Samana, in the N. E. end of Hispa niola for water, the people on shore detained her watering party, upon which he had the Frigate hauled up under the Fort, and begun a heavy fire, which was answered from the Fort ; but after an engagement of six hours, the Frigate silenced th,e Fort, and forced them to return her r people. The West Indian Convoy which sailed from Cork, the I9th of Oaober last,' Made the land off Barbadoes the 16th of November; §0 'favourable did the variable winds blow in the gist instance, and so fresh the trade winds during the remainder of the passage. By letters received from Cadiz it appears, that Admiral LINO IS is ordered to the 'West Indies, with the French Squadron under his command, to co-ope rate in the Expedition to St. Domingo. A small convoy sailed from the Bahamas for Eng land, on the 3oth of November, but separated in a gale, a week after. Some of the vessels have ar. lived. cbrfßf di' cliAl,ftEze LtN6dLiet-iNg HALLS.

He gave the parties till this day week to come to proper terms amongst themselves, and signified his de cided intention, if they did not, to make his De cree on that day; whatever might be the conse quence. , _ ROYAL ACADEMY.—The President and most of the distinguished Members of this Institution, yes tetday held their annual dinner, in honour of HER MAJESTY'S birth-day, at the Crown and Anchor in the Strand. The meeting was attended by many friends of the Academicians, and the day passed With the utmost conviviality. Messrs. SAGE, GORE, LELTE, and the younger KNyvti-rs were present, and considerably enhanced the ample treat which the Stewards, Messrs. Sit EE and Fl AXMAN had provided. Mr. SHEE, much to the regret of the Company, by whom he is deservedly respedecl as an Artist and as a man, was prevented from attending by in:. disposition, and his duty was discharged with at tention by Mr. RICHARDS, the Secretary. The Stewards nominated for next year were Messrs. WILTON and SAND BY. The dinner was excellent, and the musical Part of the entertainment was highly gratifying. We never heard Non Nobis Dornine go off with more accuracy, and dignified effeet. S. LE produced a glee for four voices, com posed for the occasion by himself, and which was creditable to his musical skill as well as to his loyalty. The usual loyal toasts were given, and one in honour of the Peace, by the President, was received with reiterated applause. Such Meetings as these, in which social enjoyments result from the success of Genius and the Arts, deserve to be re corded as proofs of the improving taste and liberal patronage of the age. ' On Monday the i ith inst. a most elegant masqued Ball and Supper were given by join 4 CLFvi.AND, Esq. at his much admixed Seat called Tapley, near Bideford. The Company wqs numerous and respectable, consisting 'tit' the principal Nobility and' Gentry of both S;.;; - .es in the North of bevon, who began to assemble about eight o'clock in the evening ; a number of excellent Masks were present in rich and appropriate dresses, and many of the charaders were supported with niirrtirahre 1 - nurnur arsA 'inaq 14iiiiV—arpong*,6thcrs-of a "superior kind, we noticed a .:Fiyuch Alaquis of the ci,devant Noblesse, a Dr. Perkins with his Tradors, two No-bodies chang ing into All-bodies,. a Cook and Hoyse-maid, Punch, Apollo, Pan,Tovn-crier, !larlequin, Quack DoHor, with a motley crew of Lapland Pritehes, yews, Sailors, ,Gypseys, Pedlars, Waggoners', Fortune-tel lers, Flower Girls, Shepherdesses, Old tuomen, &c. The rooms were superbly ornamented, and bril liantly illuminated with variegated lamps, of differ ent colours, wax lights and transparencies, disposed in the m ost tasteful manner. Before supper the company were entertained with a whimsical kind of a lottery, in which every female had the pleasure of drawing a prize. The-supper abounded with all the good things and delicacies the season could afford ; the wines were excellent, and after supper some beautiful duets. and trios weie sung in a style of the sweet est harmony. , -About two o'clock the ball-room was thrown Open, where the dancers continued to trip it on the light fantastic toe, until day-light appeared, when they ielataritly departed from a scene of mirth and elegant festivity seldoin witnessed in this part of the world, and hardly to be exceeded any where. The Hon. Mr. SPENCER deserves much credit for his Epilogue to Alfonso, as he has introduced many new ideas with spirit and humour, in one of the most hackneyed species of Poetical Composition. MUNDEN the Aftor, it seems, has already begun to think about his Benefit ; and means to revive the Play or The Widocu'd Wife, with the Farce of Dead . Alive. The Athenian who advertises for a Wife ; .who speaks six tongues, :May, probably, by the time the honeymoOn is Over, 'find one tongue too much for him: The French Prrisfies appear to be quite as absurd and extravagant in their dress, as those beings which disgrace this town. The fashion now in Parisis, to strut about in great-coats with six and thirty soot-coloured capes. A curious circumstance occurred in the Pump room at, Bath; on Saturday morning :—The Spirit moving a Female Quaker as she traversed the Pump room, she got upon a bench and spoke for•about a quarter of an hour, more to the entertainment than the edification of a numerous audience. A young woman was lately conviaed at Caen of murdering her husband by strangling him 'in his lied. She was 18, and her husband 68. He had formed this unfortunatennion with her when she was only t z years old. This miserable woman despairing of being able to acquit herself of the accusation against her, accused a young man of, the commune of St. Martin de is Besau, as the author, of the. murder. This declaration sufficed for his conkmnation; . sentence of 'death being pronounced against him upon the declaration of a Jury, which was confirmed by the Tribunal of Cassation, being found regular in its forms. At the moment how ever of his being led out to execution, this woman, stung by remorse, proclaimed his innocence, in csn sequence of which the Commissary of Government ordered the execution to be suspended, and the matter is referred , io the Minister. PAii.i: jA,i;, i 4. Br Letiers from Brest,-of the 7th, we learn; that no intelligence what'e.ver has been received Of ,the Meet, 'thongh it is neatly a month since it sailed; It is therefore to be hoped that it has suffered no damage from the violent gales of wind which have Len so -much' felt here. If it hfts 'escaped from these first.dangers, it has nothing farthrs to.appre.: hend, as in-twenty-four days sail it would arrive in those latitudes where seamen meet with no incon_ veniencies except from the prevalent calms. We wish we had more satisfadory intelligence to corn— munkate, but we can only form conjedutes.

The three Circles of Bochnia, Mislenia, and San: dec, which hitherto had formed a part of Eastern Gallicia, are now re-united to WeFiern Gallicia. HAGUE, JAN. 3.—ln the Sittings of the Legis.; lative Body, which will hold an extraordinary meeting after January 12th,. to continue till the month of February, the discussion of the exigen cies of the State for 1802 will be entirely tenni. nated. Their santinn will also be' given to the instrudions for the National Tribunal, for the Syn.: dical, and the Chamber of National Accounts. The number of persons who have died during the last year at Amsterdam, amounts to 8048.

The number of ships which have entered during the present terminating year, the aforesaid Port, ,amounts to 237 T. BR EST, JAN. 7. --'Citizen Cl-iATAL, Minister of the Interior, arrived yesterday in .vur City. He was announced by a salute of artill&y. A numerous detachment of the Consular Guard .preceded the Minister two days: , Theoverfiowing of the Saone prevented him from coming by Vas: he came down by the new road. It is affirmed, that several Paper Mantifadurer3 of -Kent, have come over, to France, with an in tension to form there establishments of the same nature.: PETERSELIRGH, DEC. lg.—The Count De MuNsTtit ) . the Hanoverian Minister, has arrived here, and was this day presented to his Imperial Ma jesty. It is said that he is charged with a mission from the Regency of Hanover, and that he is also -instructed to demand one of the Grand toutehesses in marriage for PRINCE ADOLPHUS of England. MILAN, DEC. 2.Z.—We hear from the Ex-Ve:, netian 'territories, that the Austrian Troops which were expecied, have in part arrived. Two French Frigates which sailed from Ancona have arrived at Tarrento, for the purpose of conveying home the French Troops that were stationed in Naples. CONSTANTINOPLE, NOV. z 5 Egypt is restored to us in consequence of the Peace, 'yet the he from that Province continue to be very im. pcitlant ; and it appears that Government will have almost as difficult a task to restore it to tranquillity as they found it to conquer—The greatest part of the Beys oppose the plan which has been adopted for organizing that Country. The Beys wished, conjointly with the Manielukes, to form a party in the Grand VIZIER'S Army. The greater part of these Rebels have been apprehended. At Alexandria they made some resistance. The Captain Paella was obliged to send a corps of Troops against the Mamelukes, who would not give up their Chiefs. Seven of the Beys were killed in the contest, and two escaped. Nov. is said that Lord ELGIN'S journey has a political objed in view, and that he is charged with - bringing about an adjustment of some dif ferences that have arisen between the Captain Pacha and General HwrcHiNsoN. It is said that the General has not only taken under his proteEtion two fugitive Beys whom the Captain Pacha had caused to be arrested, but had also demanded the enlarge ment of eight other Beys, whom the Grand Vizi ER had sent to Cairo under a strong guard, because they had not only refused to conform to the will of the Porte, which wishes to . deliver Egypt from' the power of the Beys, but had also attempted to form a party in the Grand Vizi tut's Army. At Alex. andria, the Mamelukes having taken part with their Leaders,- the Captain Paella had - been obliged to march his Army against them. They had come to an engagement ; seven Beys had been killed on the spot, and two had sought refuge in the camp of the English General. It appeared that in giving them an asylum he had offended the Porte ; which having • demanded sati§faaion, Lord ELGIN, who had loudly declared against the condu6l of General HUTCHIN. SON., wasgoing to terminate the difference, on the spot. That AmbasSadOr, who had yesterday a con ferenee-With the Ottoman Minister, only waits a favourable wind to. set sail. He will be accompanied by a.small, merchant ship, in which, on his return from Egypt, he will visit the isles of the Archipe lago. These unpleasant circumstances have not, how ever, checked our rejoicings for the peace. Three magnificent fireworks hr.ve la:elv bean _played' of is this capital. The GRAND SIGNIOR was himself present at the last, and afterwards gave a grand supper to the Foreign Ministers, in some tents which were pitched for the occasion. Lord &oft; and Lady were present. He will immediately set out for Egypt. Government have ordered the frigate.which is to convey him to be decorated in a most splendid manner. Citizen SEBASTIANI, Chief of Brigade, has brought 'the ratification of the French Government to the Treaty with the Porte. k
