The following arrangements have been made for the Procession of the PRINCE REGENT to the house of Lords this day. His Royal Highness kvill leave St. James's Palace at half-past one o'clock. A detachment of the Oxford Blues, consisting of a Captain, two Sabulterns, and sixty rank and file, having arrived on Saturday last at King's street Barracks from Windsor, : will form a Guard of Honour to his:Roval Mghness.

These will be assisted by the Constables of Westminster, who *ill be distributed as follows : 20 in the Park, 30 in .

The arrival of his Royal Highness at the HoUse of Lords will be announced by the firing of the Park guns, 21 of which were removed, for the purpose, last night, to the Surrey side of the ThameS,.opposite the 'Parliament house. A Court-Martial was held the 24th inst. .at Plymouth, on Paul Walker, Midshipman of his Majesty's cutter Sylvia, on the charges of drunken ness, contempt, disobedience of ,orders, and for stabbing Isaac. Smith, corporal of marines, in se veral places with a dirk (preferred against him by Lieutenant Robert Palk, commander), which being clearly substantiated and proved, and the Court having maturely and deliberately weighed and considered the same, as wen as what the pri sonerbad to say in his:defence, they did adjudge the said Paul Walker to forfeit the whole of his time as midshipman, and to serve before the mast Of such of his Majesty's ships as the Coannander • in Chief shall direct ; and, a a further disgrace, • he is ordered to be taken alongside every ship and vessel in Hamoaze, where the sentence is.to be publicly read. On Wednesday a whale, supposed to measure above eighty feet, was seen cif- pye Bay, going -up Channel About one o'clock in the afternoon • of the same day, two .whalez;,,of the above de scription, were discovered by the Dover, fisher men, in'Dover Roads, - which so alarthed them, that they all made fur the shore ; 'the fishermen say, that a large sloop: was' alongside of the fish, going up Channel, where one of them spouted up Such a quantity of %rater as to preclude them from the least sight of the vessel. On Saturday , last Mr. Maidlow, of Waltham, was robbed of flank-notes to a very considerable amount by a highwayman, on the road between Wickham and Horudean, who presented a pistol at him. The man otherwise behaved with great civility . to 'Mr. M. He-rode a' bay blood ,mare, With a white face; had on a light coloured coat and oil-skin hat. He had previously stopped two • persons in Waltham Chase, 'one of whom gave up three shillings to him, but he 'returned them to the man, saying, he did' not wish to distress poor persons. Tuesday evening R. Phillips, a young man of interesting appearance, went into the parlour of the Green Gate public-house, in the City Road, in•which were several strangers, when he deli berately apistol from his pocket, and. before they could anticipate his design, shot himself. j ‘P.I/ PAi , httB t!ROM THE JOUFtIAL DE i'AEIS OF NOV. ISI The head-quarters of the Grand Army were, the 1 - st November; at Wianna, 40 league from Smolensk.. • • The Prince Vicerdy, who had' beaten and •dis persed a grand Russian corps d'arrnee, not being able to pursue the enemy, withbut being thrown at a very considerable distance troal the ge- - neral line of operations, has rejoined the centre of the army; • We expect to see the whole of our ar my cantoned between Sniolensk, Witepsk, and' Minsk, in the first 15 (lays of November. This fertile country is about to Offer the .army abun dant and tranquil winter quarters ; the cavalry es pecially will there find' forage. The dry weather will facilitate the movements of the troops, and keep them in good health. The ulterior plans and object of the new earn-. paign, which are. preparing, neither eannor ought to be divined'; but we already perceive that the march of the army from Moscow, 'by' Smolensk Witepsk, is less a retrograde than a lateral move ment, by which the head-quarters approach i'e tersburgh nearer by forty leagues. If the; eyeS 'of the Russians have not been 'open- - ed by the burning and destruction of their first ca pital ; if the War faction, determined to risk every thing,.cannot be lowered but by the submission or destruction of the second capital of the empire; if, in a word, peace can only be signed in Peters burgh, it is evident that the concentration of the' Grand Army in the neighbourhood ot Smolensk and Witepsk was the preliminary condition of this operation, directed towards that end. The army could not march from MOSCOW to Petcl•shurgh; upon the road from Twer,'without losing allcom munication with its magazines and the detached corps it was absolutely necessary to 'comprehend in the line of 'operations Witepsk, .the road from Wilikiluki and that of PlistoW ; it was therefore Much more simple to:dra.w together ,all the forces on these two routes, which lead by the shortest road to Petersburgh, by which they can at the same time threaten Riga and Revel. Far from us be the rash presumption of wishing to foretel what the. Grand Army will do, we only wish. to pOint out a part of that which the movement upon Smolensk has enabled it to do, according to cir cumstances- and the conduct of the enemy. Who knows but sentiments of humanity will again ani mate thethcarts of the Statesmen of Russia, in seeity the storm which has burst upon Moscow' approach against Petersburgh. . Will they not re fleet, that if the expedition of Moscow has dissi pated the vain presages which represented the klus sian empire as nivulnerable, and even inacessible, the expedition to Petersburgh might take from Russia' the means of recovering from her fall, and replacing herself. in the rank of eiviii:Jed nations. BesideS, whatever may be the destination of the Grand Army, whether it willlhreaten Petersburgh and the coasts of the naltic, or whether it marches upon Keovie, and the Ukraine, it is in a central situation, from whence it .00mmands the three principal roads from the interior of Russia ; it has returned from Moscow with all the means it took, thither, . . , if we considerthe personal, we shall say that the number of sick and wounded is extremely small ; not more than from 2 to 3000 have been sent from Moscow towards Smolensk; if 'we consider the material, we know that the artillery is abun dant, -and that to: blow up the Kremlin, a part only of the two million, quintals of the powder which the Russians left there was emphiyed. In short, the moral dkpositions Of the troops are excellent; the sight of the trophies which.they carry from the ancient capital of the Czars ; the idea'of having traversed, as conquerors, a remote, immense country, in NAilch invaiou was re garded as impOssible ; the noble pride of having alMost reached the limits of Europe, and of hav ing made the French arms known to' the people. of Asia ; in short, the justly unlimited confidence which the genius, unique in, military higtory in spires . this great Captain, who knows bow, at astonishing distances, to move a mass a men, so enormous, with the same precision as a' brigade is manoeuvred ; all the barriers Of his empire broken thi.Vn,' and a victorious army freely Moving in the centre of his cultivated terri tory, anti only abandoning the useless ruins of Moscow, but to: threaten those cities Which re main in Russia worthy of being conquered.

MINISTRY OF %VAR-FRENCII ARMY OF CATALONIA Under this head the Paris Papers gave a clis, patch from Count Decaen to the Minister of War, dated from his head-quarters at Visch, Nov. 5, in which the Count states, that, " on the• 24th of October he sent orders to GeneralLemarque to collect his disposable troops, and March cm Car deden, where lie arrived' on the Ist with provi sions and a convoy of meal.

After a resistance of about ten hours, under the eyes of Gen.

It is not in Constantinople that the business with the Servians 'will terminate, but in 'the town of Nissa, and perhaps even in Servia.— There are in the first of these cities three Servian Deptities, who will, undoubtedly, quickly set out for their country. The Porte has indignantly re jected the mediation of Russia, and for sonic time the influence of this power. has much de creased. It Was supposed that the Turkish Army would return to Adrianople; but it now ap pears decided that it will remain encamped at. Scliumla. The new • brand Vizier, Hourched Paella, is animated by the best intentions. It is said, that he is entirely devoted to the Turkish interest., and the service of the Grand Signior. The three convoys - of prisoners which set out from ,Constantinople to return home, Were 'detained in their last march, and shut up in the barracks of Necopoli and Rudschuck. The public spirt in,Turkey is excellent, and decidedly against the Russians. An EngliSh frigate appeared at the Dardanelles, and was refused to he allowed to pass. The English have desisted from the right of_ search, - which they assumed over Turkish vessels. • Wilna, Nov. L.

These Generals made a combined attar..k - on Marshal St. Cyr, to oblige him to retreat, but they were unfortunate in theattempt - ; they were beaten by the French and Bavarian troops concentrated near Polotsk. The corps d'armee of 1.4.a.51ial Victor .has also marched tuwards the D una, against the Russian positions. We expect intelFgence from these countries, which cannot fail of being of great interest.

We are happy to say, that o. inquiries enable us to mention that no consider able damage was done before the flames were snb clued, and that no one received th - least personal lily ury. Two melancholy' circumstances .occurred on Thursday evening, at the Army Depot, at Nn-,== port, in the Isle of Wight.
