. . his conduct to the House and to the Country, so licited a, candid indulgence on such .points as he: might deem is improper' to touch upon at that: moment; but declared tliat the time, must 'shortly, arrive at which every consideration.. of a pri vate 'nature must give . Way to the demands of public .duty. In the mean ' t i me t h e N o bl e Lord, signified that he conceived- , 1 to be the duty olany. minister ,to submit to His MAJESTY such advice as- might appear most expedient for the houoUr and.in tereSt of the EiUuire. • ~He concluded with ,saying, that though he,had ii.)t received any commands 'to . 2 deliver up the Seals of Office, he had full grounds for believing - ghat o fris iKAJEsTy had thought proper to .consult with. persons not aetually• employed as his servants, upon a plan for• the arrangement of a New Administration. The - subject I here dropped, and the Petition was ordered: to lie, upon . the Table. We have ,nothing to' add to. - what we yesterday submitted to our Readers on this very interesting matter, and we certainly shall not e. attempt to delude:or amuse them with observations . or conjeaures that cannot possibly befounded on positive knowledge in the present state of affairs. HIS MAJESTY is expeaed in town this day', at four o'clock. CVs stated yesterday that the Crew of the Dutch Frigate which was wrecked on the Isle of Sanda had surrendered' to` the Volunteer Force which was' sent against them. We, understand that some of the Papers belonging to the Friate have been found, and that they have led to a most important discovery. We received this morning the following Letter from Kirkwall, dated 9th March, 1807.:--, " The Dutch Frigate 'Utiveht, of 38 guns, coin. manded *by Commodore Co STERNS, from Helvoet sluys 'to Curagoa, was wrecked on the . Island of Sanda, in the storm of the 26th ult. The crew, including 220 artillery, amounted tq 450 men, 'of whom- about 100 wane either drownedi or have died since they came on shore. They immediately surL rendered themselves to the people of the Island, and the s *Officers, and about one half of the men* came in here on Saturday last. The men are confined in the Town-house, under a -guard ; the Officers are lodp ed, on their parole * at the inns. The account's of the wreck only reached this on ilie Ist instant; and, owing to the continued storm ‘46 have had, we had - . no further intelligence from Sanda until the 7th, when th: Prisoners came' in. Same day, in conse quence-of an express sent to Caithness, a detachment of 300 ,Volunteers came over to assist us." It -vas. the Frigate's first voyage, having sailed - from lielvoetsluys in company with two others on the , • 15th ult. The Dispatches for the governor -Gene ral of that Island have been saved from the wreck, and were received at the Admiralty Office, Leith, yesterday afternoon. Yesterday morning His MAJESTY the DUKE of CUMBERLAND, the PRINCESSES, Earl WILTON, &C, rode on horseback in Windsor Park. Yesterday Captain BEAuFoRT, of the Woolwich store-ship, arrived at the Admiralty, with Dispatches from the Cape of Good Hope. Intelligence of a most satisfaClory nature has been received by this op-„ portnnity, respeCling advantages obtained by our . Cruizers in the Ihdiau Seas over the enemy. The Maria, a Dutch Frigate, and two Brigs, have been cut out of Batavia by 116 Majesty's Frigate Caroline, after a spirited and determined contest. By all ac counts, thii was as daring and gallant an enterprize • as any which has signalized the present war. Another 'success has also been obtained, which pro ; irises no less fame, and far more . ichiatitage, to those by whose bravery and -skill it has been achieved.— The Pallas, a Dutch Frigate, has been captured in the East Indies, by the Oreyhound, of 32 gulls, Capt. ELPHINSTONE, and- the Harrier Brig, Capt. THOMAS TROURRIDGE: She is the richest prize that has been made this war. She had a million. of dollars on board, besides a most valuable cargo. Capt. TROUBRIDGE i 6 the son of the Admiral . ; and the gallantry and skill *which lie displayed on this, occasion are the natural consequences of the brave stock from which he has sprung. The respective shares of the Admi ' ral,, (Sir THOMAS TROU'ARIDGE) and the Captains of the Greyhound and Barrier, i; supposed, .amount to 50,0001. ea c h. , The Woo/wic/z, we undertanck, brings intelligence from the River Plate of the loth of Deceinber. The Expedition under Sir SAAIUL AciimuTY had not arrived at that period. Our troops 'continued. in pos session of. Maldonado. The Woolwich sailed from St. Helena on the iiith of January, at which time the homeward-bound East India 'Fleet v . /a lying there. The Barbadoes Papers, received ‘rr .the 24th of December, state, that His .Majesty's Ship Circe, Capt. ProOTT,•bad taken and sent into Tortola a va luable Ship of 700 tons, from Cadiz, bound to Vera „Crilz, with quicksilver, supposed to be worth f rom 6 0 30,00 to 70,0001. sterling. The town of the Island .of St. Thomas has a third -time been destroyed by hie. Only one mercantile house bar; escaped, and immense property has been consumed. Dispatches from Admiral STIRLING, who com mands in the Rio de la Plata, were yesterday reeeived_ : at the Admiralty. A, rumour sprung from this 0- rival, that Buenos Ayres had been retaken. The fait is, th at the Advices contain nothing more than j the unaio n of the troops which had sailed under the command Uf Sir S AMUEL ACHIvIUTY. ThC:f°r ." l of the Barrack Establishment is to be changed. Instead of a Barrack •Master General and. Deputy, &c. &c. it is to be constituted into a Board ; the warrant has passed the sign manuel ; and we heart he Commissioners are to be, Ostiont4 ALuttc.-! u..Nt, Esq.

BANKS OF THE ELBE, MARCii g.--Accou Ifs troin, Berlin and Copenhagen, have spoken of an - Ar- . m . . ; this report is probably founded on .the position which was made by one of the 13elligrent. Powers—A proposition which ha's been re . ie6led by the other. The Armistice 'was to have been for three seeks during which Peace would have been negotiated. The Russians received soon after the Battle of Eyliu a considerable reinforcement, esti _ . . mated at 40,000 men : notwi t hSt an di n g, from the day of that Battle, nothing important has oeciArred, except that„-ta Regiment of French Cnitassiers suf fered considerably from 'an attack on the part of the Cossacks. _ The operations of the French are greatly straitened by the want 'of provisions, and in consequence they are drawing towards the Vistula : it is pretended to . , be known at Berlin that the h ea d- quarters are a l rea d y at Thorn. The French army, is still stationed frOrn Elbing to the froniiers of ci:devant Poland, and holds merely a communication with the Corps which occupies the position of Warsaw and the Narew. If the Russian army maintains its situation on the Pre-;, gel, the Country'betwecn that River and the P‘as serge may soon be the theatre of new sanguinary In The mean while" the approach of• the drench Army may decide the fateOfDantzic and Graudentz,, against which the.4th corps is .destined to a&. ,Ac cording to accounts from _St. Petersburgh, four Rus sian Generals ,were killed or wounded. at the Battle of Eylau ; among the former is the Chief of the Em peror's Cuirassiers, M. ROGIN 3 Major-General BAR CLAY DE TOLLY was wounded in the arm; the battle which was fought on a plaid,. twenty verst's cir cumference, commenced on the 7th, •at three in the afternoon, and,Was not over UP the . Bth . , •at six inthe evenincr The corps which was formerly commanded . by Gen. BUXHOVDEN had joined that of Gen.

Cohriers arrive from which oecasiou long conferences, at which the Emperor and the Arch duke CHARLES assist -5 but no movement is yet ob served among the troops, or the least preparation for war. They write from Turkey, that the Russians; under the orders of General MictIELsON, have passed the Danube above Widdin,:inclosed . Serria, ,and that 60,000 Servians have joined them. Although this' intelligence is contained in several Letters; it never theless requires confirmation. The Paella of Erzerum has .received orders to as semble a considerable corps:in' Turkish Arrnenia, which is intended to support the Scheik, of Persia againSt the Russians in Georgia.—(L l 4beille c h i - Nord, 19th Marck.) BANKS OF THE MAINE; MARCH 3.—According to a public journal, GLOBIG, a Saxon Adjutant r.Genetal, fell into the midst of a party of the enemy,. coming frOm the side of the Buntzlau; at the point whin separates upper Lusatia from Silesia ;; they took from him his dispatches and what money be bad. The intelligence that a corpS of Prussian partisans had penetrated into a part of the kingdom of Sakony has caused so much the greater alarm in Thuringia - , its there are no troops to Oppose the enterprises of.. that corps. Letters from Sorau, and other towns •in„ Lusatia, describe the conduel'of the Prussians in the blackest colours, and,. complain of - the 'manner in 'which they treat the poor inhabitanti. The contin gent of SaXe Weyinar set out on the 2d inst. for the Grand Army; it,took the. route of Stettin, of which place it will form' the garrison. • , SEMLIN, FEB.,ls.—According to the' latest ac , counts, there has been a smart -a&lon between the Russian Advanced-Guard, under the command of 'Gen. .111ILARo'fovrIsfr, and the troops of PASWAN OGLOU, which had left Widdin, and taken a position at. Smerdan. The issue of this battle is not yet known. 'PASWAN Ookou received some time since . different reinforcements, and flattered himself that he should be able to. Stop the Russians, until the army which is assembling on the side of Adrianople should be in a state' to ael. Besides this grand army, there is a particular corps,,intended to keep in check, the Montenegrins.and Albani ans , -a n d to a & , if cir . cunistances require it, in concert' with the French troops inDahnatia.
