WE are • still deprived, by the severity of the weather, of the usual communication with the Con tinent, and there are now no less than nint Ham. burgh Mails due. We look with impatience fur the renewal of the intercuutse, because, as the season :id. trances, we expect w receive some very important in. formc►ation respeting the final determination of sotae of the Continental Powers. No authentic informa ' Lion has yet been received respetling the Toulon or • Rochefort Squadrons : with respect to the fanner, we understand that Government entertains some doubts of its has ing sailed ; and we are rather inclined to fear that the accounts which were received of 'its Moving ventured to sea will prove unfounded. It seems to be generally supposed that the Fleet which sailed from Rochefort is ,destined for the West In dies ; AdmiralCocnamitt has sailed in pursuit of them with Six Sail of the Line. THE Dqutation from the Catholic Body of Ire. land arrived in Town on Saturday last. The Earl of FINGAL, Sir EDWARD BELLEW, Messrs. SCULLY and RYAN, are the persons who have come upon this important Mission. Sir THOMAS FRENCH, the fi ft h Member' of thia Deputation, was de. tained in Dublin by indisposition. The Petition which these Representatives of the Irish Catholics have brought with them is understood to have been drawn up with great care and moderation, and is, we understand, signed by peope in the highest degree tespeflable fq their loyalty and commercial conse. quence. The faits it contains, according to report, • are peculiarly interesting and important. The Inc. potation will soon wait upon the Minister, but it is n ot expected that any Parliamentary Proceedings will take place on this subjed in the cautse of the pre. sent Session, iItsIVIASEsTY, accompanied by Count MtNreta, and Generals MANN rat, FITZROY, 4.`!,.-C.On Saturday took the diversion of hunting.

MY LORD, Ilis IVl*sty having been pleased, by his Royal Proclama tion of the 6th of this month, to increase the Reward for the Discovery of every Able Seaman to 31, and for Ordinary Sea. men to cos. I have received His Majesty's Commands to transmit the same to your Lordship, and to request that you will recommend it in the strongest manner to the rustic:es of the Peace, to make the same known in the County of --, and to use their utmost diligence in causing all straggling Seamen, or Seamen who may be secreted, to bt, apprehended and secured for His Majesty's Nadal' Service; and 1 am further to observe, that in addition to the said Rewards, the Conduct Money of 6d. a toile will be alloived, as authorized by the Circular Letter of the Lords of HiS Majesty's Most Honour able P Council, hearing date the 6th of April, rlo3. 1 have honour to be, My Lord, Your Lordship's most obedient humble Servant, HAWKESBURY.. His Majesty's Lieutenant for the County of Wednesday morning. an elegant entertainment was given by P.lshwmAN,Esq. Paymaster of the ad Wilts Regiment, at the new Foot Barracks, Weymouth ; most of the fashionable company in the town at. tended, and were highly amused with the Band, which played many favourite Airs during the repast. By letters from Bombay, to the gth August, we have advice that HO LK Alt lately endeavoured to in duce the Jeypour Rajah to betray the British Offi cers in his service, itromising to assist him in the recovery of his ancient dominions; but the Rajah dismissed the proposal with indignation. HoLKAtt made like overtures t* the Chieftains of Oude with similar success. He had, however, won to his in. serest a Zemindar of great popularity in the neigh , bourhood of Furruckabad, who assembled a nume. rout party in opposition to the British; but he was soon deserted, and ' obliged to seek safety in the Jungles. HOLKAR'S emissaries appear to have pro. ceeded to the southward, and excited some disturb. ance 'amongst the Poligars, one of whom, in the neighbourhood of Dindigul, had taken the field and committed great excesses; he had, however, been defeated by a detachment of Sepoys, and driven into the woods. Large quantities of military stores have, within, these fews days, been sent from London for the use of the Foot Guards in the vicinity of Chatham. Several American vessels, which in August and September arrived,at Batavia for cargoes, were ob. lilted to proceed to China in ballast, the Company there having resolved not to sell. Saturday a considerable number of letters were received from New York ; they co not, however, add much to the information of which the Papers. to the 3d ult. previously pohsessed us. Th - e Ship Arpazia had arrived at New York from the Isle of France in eighty-one days, and wrought letters from thence, dated November 4. We do not, however, find that they 'made any communication respelling the Belligerent Squadrons in those Seas. The Upon Castle and Charlotte, taken by LINOS, were lying at St. Dennis, Isle of Bourbon, and are the only British Prizes mentioned. A Dutch East Indiaman, named the Elizabeth, with a 'valuable cargo, from Batavia, and the American Ship Penman, with Dutch property, had bees captured by the English, and sent to Columbo. GENERAL. CH ISTOPHE.—The following account of this Black Chief is given in a late, American raper : " HrNbtY CHRISTOPOI, - General Of the Division of the North, and Chancellor of State, is an English Negro, being born in the island of St.Christophers, from whence he takes his name. He is a large stout fellow, not of the very blackest hue, and ra. cher handsome.

Notwithstanding this, he is looked upon as the next man to DESa4LINOSt and , in all probability will succeed bim in the chief command. • "He is 'never heard to speak a word of English ; but always converses with Englishmen or Antoci.. cans through an interpreter. His policy in this is, doUbtleas, that he does not wish to 6e thought foreigner. ss Before the Revolution this Hero kept a dram shop at the Cape.
