By our Falmouth Letter, it appears that all His Majesty's Packets in that Port, either have been dispatched with all possible expedition to diffrent British Possessions, or are wider orders for sailing at a moment's notice. Several Vessels of War have likewise been lately dispatched with secret orders. THE Compromise which has taken place be tween the SW Iss and the CHIEF CONSUL of France, though for the present destrutaive of the In dependence of Switzerland, does not seem to us to promise a long duration. The Powers of Europe most interested in placing some kind of limits to the ambition and the encroachments of France, can not quietly submit to what may be termed, on the part of tl:e latter, a Poliiical juggle, by which she gains all that her Arms could have procured her, the complete subjugation and command of the whole Country of Switzerland. The Official Note of TALLEYRAND to the Bavarian Minister, meant as a justification of the conduft of France, is a tissue of unfounded assertion, and false reason ing. The fats there stated should be complete ly reversed, to. make them consonant with the truth, and the opposite reasoning is that which all the other Powers in Europe must adopt upon this most important and interesting occasion.— Whether they will be induced to aft upon it, re. mains for time to shew, but certain we are, that if France is permitted to proceed thus, all Europe is utterly undone. We cannot be led to believe that the spirit of the Swiss, though depressed by adverse circumstances, and forced at present to bend to superior force, is utterly subdued. The great mass of that Nation, we . are satisfied, detest French Fraternity, and abhor the Gallic Yoke, and it is only necessary that a proper opportunity should be furnished for them to throw off the chains v:ith which they have so re cently been loaded. As far as the 'conduft of France affeas this Coml. try, we view it with sentiments of the most serious and alarming nature. To exclude us from all Con tinental Alliance is the favourite projeti of the Court of Si. C/os;:f, as a preparatory measure to our sustaining the shuck of the whole collected force of the French Empire. Though we have every reli ance upon the Courage and the Patriotism of cur Countrymen, yet we cannot court such a trial of either, and we must earnestly hope that we shall succeed in arresting the ambitious career of France before she can bring us tQ that eventful pass ! There are yet Po!,vers and People in Europe, whose politi,: pal interests are happily identified with our own, and we have no doubt but that our Ministers are using every praBicable means to unite them more closely to us. Every aa. of the French Govern. ment prcclairis the necessity of adopting this line of conduct, which can alone preserve any thing like the semblance of a Balance of Power. . Those who think, and who assert that the reten tion of Malta, on our part, and the unjustifiable interference of France in the Affairs of Switzerland, on the other, are the only sources of discussion, be tween the two Governments, judge from very in. E levate ipiNmation. We, some days ago, inti. mated what had crepe to our knowledge upon the subject. It cannot -be imputed to us that we wish to alarm the rublic, or that we are tl* Advocates for War, but we shall never attempt to mislead.— finless France call be brought to adopt a more mo derate and equitable condua towards other States,. we see little hope of the preservation of tranquillity ; but as we are satisfied on the one hand, that every proper measure will be pursued by our Ministers, for the continuance of Peace, so on the other, we rely ;mplicitly on their sense of duty to their Country to maintain her Honour and Independence without ielernish or change. We have reason to believe that the measpres which they are pursuing are dignified eed wise, and that if the continuance of Peace, con. ,intently with our dearest interests, be possible, /hey are takieg the best ineans to produix that most Desirable end. The P4INCE Of WALES returned to Town yes -Irday fiom Brighton. !, Vest. - Jday at half past one o'clock, Mr. A-13RA 4fik4 1 7 ,;)1p appeared op the Stock Excha'rige, ,c;doi'vc-r the answer of the Bank r)ireaors to the 0 6io c i, r) 6f the Loan.llol4efs to post Font th'.; peribd of Redemption of the Loan to ,the month of June or July next. He delivered the followkng Message from the Bank Directors : " aentlecrien, In answer to the.application made to the Diredors of the Bank, I am desired to in form you, that they have consented to postpone the redemption of the Omnium, which was fixed for the loth of December, on condition that the Holders of the Scrip shall make good the last payment of r 5 per Cent. on the 17th of December next ; and that they shall pay 40 per Cent. of the advances made by the Bank on the 21st of January ; 3o per Cent. on the 18th of February, -and 30 per Cent. on the 18th of March." Such was the general anxiety to hear the deci sion of the Bank, that the Stock Exchange was ne ver remembered so full of people as on this occasion. As soon as the message had been delivered the Con sols. fell to 67, and Omnium to toe ; but the pa nic soon subsided, and the Consols. left off at 68, and the Omnium at to. PRINCE WILLIANI Of GLOUCESTER, according to the latest intelligence from Petersburgh, - had quitted that City and taken the road to Moscow. Mr. ARBUTHNOT, the English Ambassador to the Court of Stockholm, was eight days on his passage from Alaro to Stockholm, in consequence of the unfavourableness of the weather.—The passage is usually made in two days. The LORD CHANCELLOR has appointed Tuesday next, at two o'clock, to receive the LORD MAYOR Eleft, at his house in Bedford.square. Yesterday a Court of Diredors was held at the East India House, when Captain WILLIAM WARD FARRE rt. was sworn into the command of the New Ship, of 1200 tons, in the room of Captain Ro BERT HUDSON, who does not proceed this Season. The Court adjourned at five o'clock till Wednesday next. Yesterday the Court of DireEtors of the East India Company gave an elegant entertainment at the London Tavern, to the Commissioners for the Affairs of India, and the Members of Administration. Orders have been received at Plymouth to com plete the establishment of Royal Marines on board the Ships in commission, to their usual number. Orders have been issued for completing the Establishment of the Foot Guards ; and nine Re cruiting Parties are under orders for that purpose. Many Officers who were to have retired on the za.th inst. on Half-pay, are to remain, as before. We hear that part of the Islatsd of Graine, in Kent, is intended, under the management of Gen. BENTHAIS.I, to be appropriated and used as a Dock yard and Naval Arsenal. The FIRST Co:estat e in his intended journey, will, it is now said, take the Road of Saint Vallery, Ficamp, Dieppe, and Treport, instead of proceed ing to Havre and Cherburg. It is probable that the union of Piedmont with France, more than its domineering interference in the internal affairs of Switzerland, is, together with the late proceedings in regard to the Island and Order of Malta, the subjed of serious discussion at present between the Irta.neh and English Govern ments. Indeed our Government could not look supinely at such transeetions, and particularly after the open and formal declaration of Lord I'IA:WKES BURY in Parliament last Sessions—That though t orn its inability at that time to prevent it, England roust acquiesce in the choice of a President made by the Italian Republic ; yet at ordinary periods even that would have been a sufficient ground of War, and that this Country could not view any further acquisitions made by France with indiffer. ence or inactivity. The French Committee of Arts and Sciences ap pointed to prepare a Work on the subjeEt of Egypt, at the expence of the Government, are proceeding in their labours with great ativity. The Work is expelled to be very splendid. By the accounts of the arrivals of Busses and Vessels from the herring-fishery on the North-West Highlands, in the Clyde, from the 16th to the zoth Odober, inclusive, it appeap 19 Vessels ar rived with 1023 barrels of herrings, being,. on an average, only 54 barrels each Vessel. W e have not yet learned.; Whether the Master of the Tardrobe has sent beputy toclabn the head of One Whale found off Dover, to furnish bone for Her Majesty's stays, according to the terms of the ancient law of Royalties. The Comedy of Every Man in his ltumour, of which we recommended 'therevival at Drury-Lane Theatre, is, we find, in preparation at that place, but not with such an arrangement of the: charaders as we suggested. WROUGIITON is to be Kitely, and we doubt not that he will do, justice to the part. BANNISTER is to take Babadil, a charafter much better fitted for P4I.MER. BANNISTER would no doubt be an excellent Brainittrornt. COLLINS is to be Master Stephen, and his acting will most probably be the best specimen of genuine sitnplicitg that has been seen since the days of Wes-rota. At Salisbury Michaelmas Fair on Tuesday, there rather was a large supply e:r. cheese, which went. off briskly. The best new Iheese sold at from 631. to 70s. per cwt. the best old at from 70s; to 84s. A considerable quantity was however pitched but un sold, not so much for want of buyers as from the evident indifference of the dealers in , regard to selling : they seemed generally to entertain the idea that large supplies would again be wanted by Government, and therefore rather than abate any thing of their demands, they chose to retain their cheese for the chance of a good sale at Winchester Fair, which may be expeCted to have a very abun dant supply. Early in the evening of yesterday, a well-dressed genteel looking woman went into the shop of a poor working watch-maker, in Prosped-row, Walworth, and pleading sudden illness, she begged of the woman (her husband not being at home at the time) to go out and procure be.r,ccatne cordial ; which she,. refused, alledging she • could,,not leave her chikt.: This not answering her purpose,, she leant over tfir t , railing which separated the shop from the apart.-; ment, seemingly to alleviate her pain, when she contrived to pocket a. gold watch, unluckily with out being perceived. She soon afterwards departed, and the woman missing the watch in less than five minutes, went afteillFr, b r ut the imvostor had • ; e►C4Fec,l; WAYAL NEWS. FALMOUTH, OCT. z 6. LATE last night arrived an Express at the , Agent's Office from the General Post-Office, for the imme diate sailing of three Packets, Lnd such was the urgency of the Dispatches brought, that the follow ing Packets got under weigh, although the wind was quite contrary : The King George Packet, YESCOMBE, with Mails Of the ztli and i 9th inst. for Lisbon. The Lao) Hobart Packet, FELLOWES, with Mails of the zoth inst. for the Leeward Island, and also sealed orders not to be opened till she arrives at Barbadoes. The Princess Amel;a Packet is expeaed to .sail early in the morning ; her destination is unknown — she has sealed orders, not to be opened till she ar rives twenty leagues West of Scilly. She takes in provisions and stores Tor six months. All the other Packets in Harbour are ordered to be in readiness to take Dispatches at two hour's notice. Also sailed this day, the Brig EMlnefine, SEDG MOND, with fish, for the Mediterranean ; and the American Ship United States, Sr ENCE,giith tobacco, last from Norfolk; for Lisbon. The Prince of .11";zies Packet is. hourly expeEled 'to arrive with the Mail fiorn Lisbon. • A Sloop of War and Cqter passed this Port this afternoon, supposed to be P A.-venture and Nimble, with sealed orders for the Westward. On the z3d inst. arrived the Duke of Marlborough, Packet, BULL, with Mails from the Lee ward Islands, ;4. days passage. Arrived the American Ship frolant, Capt. Pot,- LARD, from Rotterdam, for Norfolk; the Lord Duncan, Capt.WARREN, with fish from Truro,for. the Mediterranean; the Claus;na and Acriive Cut ters, from a Cruize; the latter has brought in a Smuggling Lugger, having on board 150 ankers of ~ . :Passengers per Lady Hobart are, Major Roux, and Mr. BROWN his Secretary, 'Mr. HurtspN, Lieut. Tauscorr and his Wife, Mr. &Ault, Mr. SIMPSON, and Captain FRY. Passengers per King George are, Mrs. Miss, and Master NE'WMAN, Mr. and Mrs. HUNT, Mr. KIREY, Mr. GRANT, Captain OGILVIE, Mr. WALLER, Mr. BELLAMY, Mr. SWAIN, and Mons. SINIOEN. PORTSMOUTH, OcT. zB. WENT out of Harbour, His IVlaj,!sty's Brig Pi;r Mahon. Arrived the Lloyd's AssuranCe, GIVEEN, and Go, , vernor, Pox;Nos, from Lyrne. Sailed the Guardian, 4.00 K, for Shields ; Souci, KERFONTAINE", for Isigny ; Ant, for Havre ; and Ann, \TITTERY, for jersey. GIBRALTAR, OCT. 4- ON the 3oth of September the Vincego brig, com. manded by Capt. PRoyosT, arrived. Mere from Alexandria, in 47 days, having touched at Malta and Algiers is her way. She left Algiers five days before her arrival here. In going into Algiers she was chased by a Portuguese Squadron of two Sail of the Line and several Frigates and Sloops that were then blocking up that port. All the Algerine traizers were then in harbour. ' , :! , Tbeisame day arrived here the Thames Frigate, Rota Malta, with dispatches ;rom Sir RICHARD BICKERTON, to the Squadron here, with orders for them to get ready for sea with the utmost expedi tion in consequence of which, the greatest bustle and aftivity has prevailed in equipping every ship with six months provisions and stores of every kind ; arid the Gibraltar having now shifted her foremast, and repaired the damages she sustained in the late thunder storm, will proceed up the Medi. terranean to-morrow, if the wind is favourable, with the four other Sail of the Line now in the Bay, viz. the Superb, Dragon, Triumph, and Re notun. . The only man of war then left will be the Adifue Frigate, which is still lying in the Mole, repairing her damages. ' The opinion of the best informed here is, that these five Sail of the Line are going to join Sir RICHARD BICKERTON'S Squadron, to watch the motions of the formidable armament which the French have for some time past been collefting at Toulon—at first under pretence of attacking Al. gicri. The Thames, after delivering her dis ' patches, sailed instantly again to join Sir RrcHAF.rs BICKERTON. _ . Yesterday afternoon a French Line of agile Ship with six hundred troops on board, having under convoy eight other ships with Troops, passed this port from Toulon, in their way to Cape Francois. Monday' Dispatches were received' at Plymouth from the Admiralty, and put on board the Rosario, of z 4. guns, Capt. Mou NSEY. She immediately got under weigh from Hamoaze, and came to an anchor in Cawsand Bay, for the night. The next morning at nine o'clock, though the wind was mostly S. W. a4id by S. at the turn of the tide she sailed from aii) kind Bay with her dispatches and sealed orders, ''inaklng a large offing in the South-east quarter ; it 'ls',eOn . jeaured she is bound to Malta. That gallant and good Officer, Rear Admiral THORNBoRQUGH, of the Blue Squadron, is certainly to hoist his Flag on board the Hussar, of 38 guns, Capt. P. WILKINSON, fitting for sea in Hamoaze, and is to have the command a the Western Squa dron' of Frigates. LAW REPORr. COURT OF KING's BENCH, OcTonnt :E. iIrTINGa Rtroax LOrtD 2:LLEMBOROUGH AND A srzciAt. IVRY ) LONI)ON• MAITLAND GOLDNEY. Ma. Gaaaovir made a short address to the Jury, i►► which he informed them it was unnecessary to call their attention for many minutes. He did not. trouble his Learned Friend to open the pleadings, because, what had passed already in private super ceded the necessity of going on with this cause. Mr. Maitland, the Plaintiff, was well known to the Jury as an eminent Merchant ; he was, beneficially for the Borough of Chippenham, conneeled there, and esteemed, as he was every where else where Le was known. A misunderstanding took place be. tween him and the Defendant, which gave birth to a publication which was a libel upon the charader of Mr. Maitland, and to vindicate that charader he brought this a&ion for slander, and in such a shape as afforded an opportunity to have the charge made against him justified, if it could have been justified, or retracted. That charge was now re tratcted, and an ample apology was offered to the Plaintiff, such as, upon consultation, his Counsel thought he might, consistently with the vindication of his honour, accept. His oiled never had been a pecuniary recompense for the slander ; he wished for nothing but that it be made public as a vindica .tionof his charaler, and that being accomplished, this cause was at an end. Mr. EasKINE, on behalf of the Defendant, ac. quiesced in the sentiments expressed by Mr. GAR• :Row for the Plaintiff, and said, the interruption which unhappily took place in the friendship of the Parties was the mere effea of misconception, for whiCh the Defendant made an apology that was worthy of both their el - in - faders. This was not an apology - such as was sometimes made by Counsel as a matter of form, hut the genuine feeling of the Defendant himself as a man of honour, and which he would have delivered for himself, but that by the rules of the Court, he could, in the present state of things, speak only by the mouth of his Counsel. The Jury were then discharged from giving any verdia.—Juror withdrawn. This was all that transpired in Court this day. BRITISH SCHOOL. THE new Institution which we noticed a few days ago, under this title, was yesterday submitted to public inspeEtion. The purport of this Institu tion, as we then stated, is to afford an opportuai r r for Artists to display such of their prodations "4 4 they intend for sale, and to contribute towards the support of themselves and their families in case °` sickness and death. This Institution evidently de; serves public encouragement, and from the unitea contribution of some of our best Artists, it is veil likely to obtain that encouragement. The place in which these proddlions are exhibited, is the 13.0 01111 in Berner's-street, that was lately allotted to M. DESENFANS' fine Colleaion. It is the obje 6 of this Plan to afford an almost constant variety, 2° the works of the several Artists are to remain .short time, and then give place to others from th c same hands. Nu Cops or Works of the old Mt's' ters ate to be admitted, except those of this Coan' try. Among the proddlions now on view we obsero ed some from Sir josxuA REYNOLDS, W I 1 . 5 0: 4, WEST, OP E, BOURGEOIS, \VESTAL L, the la te Sf.RR ES, I..ftEsFIANT, TRumBITLLi the younger St" RE;, Mrs. SERgES, FReeBAIRN, LAPoRTE, RE ltfr AGLE, PHILLIPS, RIGAUD, ASHFORD, STOTHAR I7° IVIORE L AND, W.

The pres;ding Manager is, we understand, . e r i SERRES, who addressed the Company in a 1.11 4 well-writt4n Speech, explanatory of the prinuli ne and objeas" of the Plan, in the course of which 70 paid some liberal tributes to the talents of b i Countrymen, and spoke in terms of respectful g 4 ; o # titude of the Pittsc E of WALES, who is the Pa tt of the Institution.
