OUR Letter from Yarmouth, this morning, states that four Sail of the J.,ine - and a Frigate had ar rived there from the Downs. We. believe they , are part of a Squadron which Government intend*to send, without delay, into the Baltic.. WE mentioned some days ago a repdrt that the French had prepared an Expedition at Guadaloupe, with a view, as it was supposed; of Making an at tack upon Dominica. The preparations -made by the.French were such as to induce Admiral COCH RANE to gail,"on the 24th January, frorn-Barbadoes for Dominica; • he took with hire the 15th Regi ment. The following is an Extra& Gm the Barla does Mercury, upon this subje& : • - .* ". By Express from Donmricit, -received - here this , day at noon, it appears that the Enemy is making such formidable demonstration's .at Gnadaloupe as ,menace an immediate attack upon some of out-Islands • in its vicinity. Dispatches from Presiden t M of Dominica, to Sir ALEX. COCHRANE, - broughtby a small Schooner itait „arrived, inform that ad the Trocips, Regulars and Militia, amounting to - 8000, at Guadaloupe,' had been marched . from . Fleur- Dieppe, Point-au- . Petre, and other parts of Grand Terre, to Basseterre, where they were encamped, 'and making. every • preparation for an Expedition. Gen..Eallour* had quitted the Government House, and was aelually encamped with the Army, intend ing to command the enterprise - in•petsen. - fc We do not learn what Naval ForCe he has to co-operate in this. Expedition, but we trust that whatever it may be-it will be found inadequate 'to prote& it, or give any efficient help to the enterprise, as. there is at present in Carlisle Bay an immediate disposable Squadron sufficient to frustrate every de sign that the Enemy 'may have for Med ; and our .AdmiraLpromptly ordered their preparation fur sail- ing."

A letter from a British Field OLflcer serving 41 the RuSsian army, dated the .6th- March, gives a fa:: vourable view of the state of affairs on• the other side , of the Vis,tula. The writer estimates the loss which , . the French have sustained since:the battle of Eylau, in killed, prisonerS, and deserters, I.la:pt since p,OOO men they ; and 'states it as the general first.crossed the Vistula .th 4 were not short of sO,OOO men hors do comtat. We have the satin- fa.elion of finding from this letter, that General NIGSEN- had' been-aclually joined by . 24,000 .fresh Cossacks, who were constantly harassbg the fl4iks and, outposts of: the French ; and cutting o tf, their 'supplies and 'convoys ; and that the writer considers the French cavalry as almost annihilat e d. The Prussians had greatly recovered their spirits.

She this day arrived here. His Majesty's Ships Canada and Port of Spain, from Antigua and Doniinica, have arrived since our last. The Brig C 1 rle, GAEMS, of this Port, from Balti rnore,,arrived on Sunday, has been seized, under an order of Captain.COCHRANE, of the Northumberland, on a charge.ot having articles of contraband on board. We lately mentioned the arrival of several per: sons at Liverpool, frOm :: New York, to give evidence on the trial of Capt.. WHITBY, of the Leander, for his contin . a on the New York and Halifax station, during. .which: the - 'American sailor (Pearce) was killed by a. shot from the Leander. These several_ persons arrived •in town yesterday preparatory to the trial. :The ill humour excited in New York by that event,• and indeed any angry •feeling that pre vailed in America, in consequence of the conduct of our.cruizers, appeared to have entirely subsided. We read in the late American Papers, a paragraph acknoWledging the polite and handsome behaviour of our ships of war, and the pains - taken to avoid all offence. The following paragraph, from a New York Paper, of the toth, , may serve as a sample :-,-- " The ship Magnet, BURGER, arrived at Baibadoes in 16 days, from this port, bad three of her men impressed, who had protections ; but, on the Cap tain's applyiug to Adin.. 'COCHRANE, he ordered them to be released immediately, and at the same tittle gave the Qfficer, who impresscd :them a severe reprimand, in the p rese n ce °leapt. BintOuit.” There are now six or seven'Men of War building at Antwerp, and it is said that Flushing is to be the general rendezvous in that part for the Navy. Since the communication with that place . has been e!at ott-the.few people left there are in a state of starva tion.. An account a few days since was received, that Cap tain EbWARD DENNISON, of the Venotat Country East Indiaman, had arrived safe at Prince of Wales's Island, with his family all well. The account re ceived yesterday stated, that/Captain liDwAtua DEN NISON, his wife and child, all died in a few hours after they landed at Bengal. Last week, at a Common Council of the Corpo ' ration, specially F.miveried by S. S. TAYLOR, Esq. Mayor of Southampton,. CHARLES : BIIISBANE, Esq. Captain of , His Majesty's Ship ..dreilzusa, and vernor of Curagoa, was . unanimously eletted7n Honorary Burgess of that 'Corporation, in testimony ti.f the high consideration entertained of his gallant condu6t, distinguished valour and bravery, in his late. successful ,enterprize against the Colony of Curacoa ; and the Freedom of that. ancient and loyal 1. Town was also voted him on the same occasion. The Grand Seignior has presented to SEBASTIAIO the palace and gardens of Theraspin, formerly be lenging to the venerable Prince YPSILANTI, father of the Hospodar of Wallachia. The Prince was beheaded in the - prison of the Bostangi Bashi, hating prei , iouslf been tortured to extort confession as to the place in which his treasure was concealed. Two Millions of _Turkish .piastres were found in his pa- Lee. His estates have been sold ibr the benefit of the Imperial Treasury. There was no Court of Aldermen held to-day, bu t the Loup MAYott, after sinspeaing the Return ; ordered tit , unte of Bread to continue as last week CORONATION OATH. The advocates for the late Ministry, adverting to t he subjed which occasioned their, removal from Office, seem to make very light of His MAJESTY'S Coronation Oath, and consider it as an easy matter • to,clispense with that oath, if it should interfere with' What an Administration may deem proper to bring forward for the advantage of the State. But wise and reAttaing men will not treat the provisions framed by the soundest Statesmen, and san6tioned by long experienCe, with 'so much levity. However saga cious and however honest in their intentions an Ad-_ ministration may be, their judgment is - not to be set in opposition to the. celleclive wisdom of ages. The horrors of Popery this Country bitterly ex 'perienFd—and all those horrors might have re vive.d among . us, if- it had not been for that Revolution ,which is justly marked with the epic . thet' of " Glorious," because it produced • our -greatest bulwark of Civil Liborty, and our firmest . guard of Religions Faith. While the Laws which resulted from that Revolution continue in force, Civil and Religious - Freedom have nothing to fear. Even those who dissent from the National Faith enjoy the blessiogs of a liberal toleration, nor would they be excluded from political power irthey were tosubmitto those tests which are essential for, the - preservation of our happy Constitutioru Uptin. this subject we shal : l.snbjoin an Extra& from 'A PaniPhlet written in the year 180:1 i by Mr. Reeves, a Gentle man who has a profound knowledge of the British Constitution, and a, genuine sense, - loyalty; referring our,Readers to-the whOle of his arguments upon .a!subjed intimately •conneded with the mea sur.e - Which the late AdminiStration so rashly, aid so fatally for themselves, thought proper to urgela Opposition to the conscientious feelings of theix . Sovereign, . • (,‘ It has been improvidently said, that the King should be releasedfrOin his 'Oath, if it stands in the way of any supposed improvement like the one now intended. But, 'surely, it is - dealing too freely with establishments, to annul original constitutions, that have endured -for years, merely to make way - for some experiment, of _ great magnitude, and very. doubtful success ; -'to say nothing of the trifling with ' the most sacred of all san6tions among men, which ought to be out of the reach of legislation itself, with all its omnipotenCe. Should the whole legis lature join in making such a law, with respea le a private subje&, it would be a very - questionable mea sure ;- but to suggest ,it with respea to the King, is surely one of the. rosiest imighlations that w_43.....eYer: conceived. " Persons who would resort to such an expe , dient do not at- all consider what is the sort of pro!- ceeding which constitutes a law; they are not aware, that the two houses of Parliament are the King's advisers in matters of legislation ; and that their office is only to propose to him Hills, which he may make into laws, if he apprOVes them. Thus , the intended release and absolution would be resolved into this ; the Lords and Commons propose to. the King to pass a . dispensation to absolve himself from his Oath ; an d h e passes it ac cor di ng l y. Thi s wou ld not be a very auspicious beginning .to a great pin for the advancement of rttligion and piety ; though some might think it a casuistical expedient, not unsuita able with tat genius of Popery, whose cause it is to serve." • • • The. payment of Tythes has been urged as one of the chief grievaitces of which the Irish Catholics corri plain. Mr. (31.1.:TARD, 'of Dublin, in an excellent_ Speech which he l ate l y delivered in the Common Council h o atc t i h t) a r l m 3 a u t b le je t t V :_ following striking 0- p se a r : ' t a s t : l i lt fifty of of that °'n ile su Protestant Proprietory P os se s s f or ty- n in e the lands in Ireland. When any man has lands to' set Whio are tythe free, he does not fail to advertise that circumstance, and he sets his lands considerably higher in consequence thereof; but it his lands be :sabjea - to Tythes, the taker makes an abatement in the tent's, even more than the value of the Tythe. It follows then from these _premises, which no man can controvert, that the subtradion of property is from the land -owner, and notfrOm the land-holder, who, though he immediately pays, pays only as the agent of the land-owner, who, were . the land tythe free, would receive a much higher rent : it therefore follOws, that the Protestant Fro prietory pay forty-nine parts of the Tythes which support the Church Eitablishment:; and if the RO nianists pay the - remainini•fifitieth, it will not be detkd that the grants which, of late years have been-,made..td them .fully counterbalance one fiftieth part of theTytbes of Ireland. The weakness of the Clergy is the inducement to attack them first; the rents are the tieitt object the'true cause then otheir clamours against. the Clergy, their many inhuman murders committed on that order of men, is not because the RocnaniSts are oppressed, , but because they wish to detroy our,heretiCal 'Church." .
