WE received this morning a Letter from Thurso, in Scotland, which states, that a French 44-gun Fri, gate was driven on shore near that town, i❑ the late violent gales ; 22 of the crew were drowned, and about .500, reached the shore. Some of the Troops and the Volunteers in the neighbourhood were_ pre, paring to march against , them when our account Callle oft. 'THE contradietion, in this Paper of Saturday last, of reported resignation - of a Noble Lord formerly atthe head of Administration, is fully confirmed,. and the :alledgcd grounds - of differences in the Ca binet have been whollyrrernoved. The - sentiments of, a Great Peronage, on'the proposed measure re speecling the admission of Catholics into the higher ,rankSOlthe Army and Navy, have produced the. fe6t that ought Jo be, expected, in a dutiful con' , formiry to those sentiments on the part of Admini, 'stration. A Cabinet ,Councils was held yesterday, which did not clOSe till a late hourlast night, and 'Lord GRENVILI:.E left town this morning to- wait upon His MAJESTY at . Windsor. The Bill at pre sent before the House of Commons Will not, we believe, be pressed in its present. shape, lant will be altered in conformity to' the Bill which passed in the Irish Parliament. Some. Of• the Public Prints state that two French Line-of-Battle Ships and a Frigate had been, captured by Admiral CO6IRANE'S Squadron, in . the West Indies. According to this account the French Ships were in the Chesaneak, and resolved to remain there 7 --that the British Division pretended to depart for a distant station, and that in consequence of this stratagem the French had been induced to venture out, and were captured. Are should be happy to con firm the report, but no account of it has been, receiv ed at the Admiralty. ' WE understand that a Treaty,. offenSiVe and de fensive, has been arranged between .. this Country, Prussia;and,Sweden, and it is said that Mr. PIERRE;. POINT was the bearer oflhe Treaty. The last ac . . count which. Mr. PIERREPOINT had heard 'or the, Russian Army was of the loth February, two:days, after the Battle of Eylau ; at that time they: were: encamped about two' miles from the field of battle ; but it was expeecled that, from the want of provi.:' sions, they . would be compelled to retreat., • .Tbe'. French . Army was retreating in all diree - tions, *with the intention, as it was supposed, of crossing the Vistula. Some Dutch'Paperswl4ch arrived yeSter-- day state, that a considerable part of the French Army' had aaually crossed the"Vistola-L-that the whole of it waste be concentrated in the neighbour hood of Thorn, and that Warsaw and Praga were to be evacuated. If BoNApArcrE really intends to abandon Wars ~v , anato coned his whole Army dear Thoin, it appears to us to afford a strong proof that he entertains . . . . considerable apprehension ot: the intentions o f the EMPEROR Of AL/STRIA, whose. Araly -might nn doubtedly effeEtually,ent of the retreat of the French if they reniained in the vicinity ¢f Warsaw ; but by taking a position so far to the westward as Thorn, BoNArAtti . e secures his retreat, whicll - we have no doubt he, would commence frith all possible rapidity • • _--, the mordent hrperceived any .disposition, in the Austrian Army to advance. The•suecesS' of the . Russians has inspired the P 'iati , .'

Tbey attack the army amidst the silence of night, and in the' most impenetrable intrenchments. The plains of the Vistula are intersected almost every league by a parallel river. The Cossacks lie concealed like ot ters, and rush out when they are least expected.. The Great Emperor has ordered that they shall . be treated as Brigands, and man and horse, when ta ken, be quartered on the spot. This has, in same degree, checked the courage of these barbmans, who respeek no laws, give no mercy, and, like their Scy thian Ancestors, would spread ravage over the whole surfaceof Europe !" TNERE was on Thursday last a general discharge of artillery from the Batteries on the French Coast, but whether for the purpose of celebrating a vi&ory, or of announcing BONAPARTE'S return to Paris, can only be ascertained by the receipt of French Papers. ft is, however; very improbable 'that any general ac 7 tiorrh'aS taken place.- Saturday morning the ROYAL FAMILY 'left town for Windsor.

Tilt PRINCESS of WALES gave a grand. dinner yes terday, at her seat at Blackheath, to the Earl and Countess Of MAL:4ESISURY, Lord ELDON, Mr: PER.. CIVA and - a laige party. Tlie Parks yesterday were crowded with visitants. An unusual assemblage of equipages, thronged the DriVe, in which- Most of the . dashini whips,-of the day made their appearance fourin hand. On Friday-last the Grand Surrey Canal Bason at . Rotherhithe, which has so long been an object of attention in the mercantile world, was opened.,f4 the reception of shipping and craft. The ceremony. • took - place in the preSence of a numerous assem-., .blade of spectators, composed 'principally of the Proprietors and their friends, together \,vith a lame cotiipany of Ladies, who all appeare4 much grati .fied :on this most interesting occasion.: The day proved highly. auspicious, and though the weather was rather cold., the beauty of the scene was much heightened by the brilliant rays of the ,sun. Early in the morning every thing about the works de noted the approaching festivity; two colours were seen tlYing or the entrance lock, and the Royal Stan dard was ciiplayed on the staff in midst of the island. At two. o'clock the Ship intended to.take .the lead in entering 'began' to dress ,in the cOlours oaf various nations ; and the remaining Ships also, fol.- lowed the 'example, though in a plainer ,style.;.--= About the same time the company assembled in (he insular * wharfage, where marquees and a cold 01- hition were" , prepared . for their accommodation. .At length the tide rose to a level with the water in the-. Bastin, thevres were thrown open, and , guns were fired-as a signal for the vessels to enter. At about half past three o'clock, the Argo, affine brig, of 242 tons burtlien, the property' of Mr. JOHN' HALL, made her entry amidst the :acclamations of the spekiators. -.She was saluted by a discharge of cannon.' on shore, which was tett - it - tied by the Vessel, whilst a band of martial music, on' the deck, played " God save the ping, - and Buie Britannia.'

A man, who- had been feud guilty of beatiii his wile, was dudincd by the' summary jus tice of the moh, most of whom were of the teindle order, to undergo a ludicrous punt,hment on the large piece of wasteyfrourrd ia the vicinity of 'Lacer- • street.
