Wr, are happy to learn that the 'arrival . of the Lee ward Islaud Fleet, consisting of 300 Sail, may ,be howly expefted. Hip; Majesty's Ship Barbadoes; of s' guns, one of the. Convoy, is arrived at Portsmouth, having parted With the Fii.et tho ooth lit.' 36. at which time: they were under the pro teOlion of His Majesty's Ships Rh/vicious, Unicorn, PI-well**, arA &aid/cu. TUB night Hon. enAurms LQNG is appointed Secremry for Ireland. The experience, talents, and conciliating manners of'this Gentleman peculiarly qualify him for the situation, and cannot but endear his chara&er to the People, of that Country. The report that the Earl of HARDWICKE has re signed his Office of Loan LIMITENANT of IRELAND, is not true:—We conceive, however, that his Lord ship's resignation is likely to take place at no distant period. There is no truth in the assertion in a Morning. Print, that Mr. CANNINd is to be placed at the head of the Board of Controul for India, in the room of LOrd`CASTLLREA.GII. IT was stated in an Evening Paper of last night, and the article is copied into all the Morning-Prints, that fi It is at length determined on to Institute an Inquiry by Court-martial into the condua of Admiral Sir Ronawr. CALDBR, ' at and subsequent to the Battle off Ferrol, an the , 224 of July." All we shall say upon the business is, that if such were the intention of the Board of Admiralty, it is not likely that they would convey it through the channel of a -Newspaper. Saar, of our Contemporaries have not only ac quainted their Readtrs that an Expedition upon a very large scale was preparing, but have adually pointed out the objeit of itsdestination ; while others, more anxious far the welfare of the Country, have hinted that they are in pos6ession of the secret, but do not think it prudent to divulge it at present, We car,not, we confess, claim any merit for our secrecy upon this subjed—all we know, and all that ought to be known upon the'subjeet, is, that Government have made the most laudable exertion to prepare a large British force to co-operate with our Allies on the Continent; but whether that folic, will be employed in the North or in the South of Europe, whether it will a& in coninnaion with the Allied Troops, or will act separately, we do not profess to know.--The preparations, as we have alreac'y .stated, are immense, and in addition to the Troops which we mentioned several days age, the first Battalions of all the Regiments of the Lie have ret-..:„ . ;yed orders to hold thetnselves in readiness •••tar Foreign Sorry. -T4ti.:....4.4:aranspayte now oalially ready to convey 11.15 ; 400 Infantry, and the number • of Cavalry that will embark at the same time will exceed 10,000 - men. From the great disproportion between the num ber of Cavalry and infantry, we are ltd to suppose that an additional force of Infantry will very soon be embarked for Foreign Service: LAST night we received some more hutch Jour nals, though not of a later date ; but, amongst others, the first . ' number of " The Official Batavian Gazette," published by authority of Government, which contains the Speech of the Pensionary SCRIMMELPENNINCK at the opening of the 'State's . - General, which we briefly noticed yesterday.. It will readily be imagined that Sonattannw. Nusrcx, the'creature of BONAPARTE, utters no-sen timents, in such a speech, but what had previously been sanaloned by the Corsican Emperor. We cannot, however; help pitying the , Ojai degrade= tion of the Dutch People, when we see their Chief Magistrate dare to talk to the States General, the Representatives of a Nation smarting and writh ing under French oppression, of the , " Godlike pre. tee - lion of the great genius of our mighty The man who utters such language will find it dif ficult to persuade the Dutch that hi is any thing else than the slavish tool of BONAPARTE, ready to join in any measure of oppression which 'the caprice of the Usurper may dictate. When he says also,. " With respect to the internal situa tion of the Republic, it appears to me, High and Mighty Lords, that under the present cir cumstances, we have every reason to be satisfied," it surely must be considered by those whom he was addressing as a cruel mockery of their distress. Very faint hopes are held out of Peace, but the Pensionary does not forget to hint to the Dutch, that they are." ready to make every inevitable sacri fice for maintaining their ch,aratier among Nations." This' miserable People, to whom has only been left by their oppressors a small portion of their once great:wealth, and a merely nominal existence,' may indeed well ask, what further sacrifices it is iossible for them to make ? The ingenuity of French ex-. aaion will, however, doubtless discover soinei new' mode of getting at thesmall remains of Dutch pro perty, whilst•• the unfortunate contributors will be insultingly reminded of . the benefits of the proteelion of France. The following Paragraph, which is immediately annexed to•the account of the Sitting 01 the States- General; and the 'opening Speech of SCHIMMEL rENNick, seems intended to prepare. the minds of the Dutch for a Continental War.: rile news received, relative to some move ments in Germany, especially this assemblages of; Austrian Troops; have naturally caused . some tin. easiness. Mean While, we ardliositively informed, that the French Emperor takes the most etreetive precautions against every :thing that might unek: peaedly diturb the tranquillity established on the Continent of Europe.; and - it, is, doubtless, a conse quence of his foresight, that the French and Bata vian l'roops, the disembarkaLion of which has ac tually connueneed, are marching to the Rhine with the greatest expedition." This, we suppose, is intended as a Supplement to the Pensionary's Speech, and to lead the people, by easy approaches, to the contemplation of those in evitable sacrifices which they will shortly be called upon to make. The DUKE of YORK returned to town yesterday afternoon from Weymouth. The DuKI of CI.AIIENCE arrived hi town yester day from Bushy Park. A matrimonial union is talked of in the Jirst cir cles, between the Heir. Apparent of the Duke of MECKLENBUIIOII STntLITZ and THEIR MAJESTIES' fourth amiable daughter, the PRINCESS MARY. The Duke of GLOUCESTER came to town yest4r day from BroMpton villa. His Royal Highness : bas arranged his househOld establishment on the same grand, wile 411 that of his late Royal: Father. The servants, with very few exceptions, are all retained in his Highness's employ, but some .changes et .4i. tuations have unavoidably taken place.

Lord NELSON ; Sir SIDNEY SMITH ; and General WELLESLEY, brother to the Marquis, had yesterday a long conference with Lord CASTLEREAGH ; at , his Office in Downing-street; Colonel WILSON ; of the Royal .Artifiery, 'arrived at Lord Castlereagh's Office yesterday morning, with Dispatches from Barhadoes, and - from Admiral COCHRANE. A Division of the British Army in India, com manded by. Colonel HALLIBURTON, is said to have completely defeated the Forces of BAPQUIIE Scut/ DIAII. The BHURTPORE RAJAH' ' having been aban doned by HoLKAR, has,. as we have already stated, sent Vakeels to treat with General LAKE. Letters from canton, dated die 129th of January, state, that the silk-worm, in many peaces, had been destroyed, and .the,sugar cane so much injured, that not more than half of the quantity of sugar usually made, could be inanufadured. Major-General HoPtutits being quite re-esta blished in his health, in which he had suffered 'so much during the last war, is, we are informed, soon to have an important command, that is to be connetted with other- arrangements and desultory movements, as. ipay front circurnstaucei bq fcitul4 necxssary er espedient.

OLEON, that the certainty of seeing our viaorious Armies a fourth time under the walls of Vienna, cannot induce Austria to preserve that salutary tran quillity which she enioyed. One , would really be induced to believe there was a kind of fatality in the case, when we see that a Power so often vanquished. does not know how to make any other use of the moderation of its conqueror than to commit fresh errors, whilst that magnanimous conqueror never ceases to offi.r peace to his prostrate enemies', and always finds hiny,elf compelled by,them to distress them more and more." We are informed that the Austrian regiments which were to form a camp near Budweis, in Bohe mia, have uneneetedly received orders to march to Ems, in Upper Austria, where they will form a grand camp with some other troops. The regiments of Manfredini and Joseph Colloredo, being a part of the Bohemian troops, are already arrived in Upper Austria. We are informed, that the troops assembled on the Coast of the Channel are marching towards' the Rhine in great numbers. The Official Journal re mains silent on this subject, and has for several days contained nothing deserving notice ; .bUt. ih one of our other Journals we read the following pa ragraph :—"Whilst the German Papers, with much noise, make more troops march than all the Powers together possess, .France, which needs not to aug meta her forces, in order to display them in an im posing manner, detaches a few thousand troops from the Army of England, to cover her frontiers, which are Menaced by the imprudent conduct of Austria. England' is preparing fresh victories for us; and for herself fresh motives for decrying her ambition. Af ter all, those movements are not yet a certain sign of War ; but since War is become possible, we shall trace'the true grounds of it ; and we shall only re peat the sentiments of every Frenchman, by show ing, that the success for which we are indebted to the reign of a single Ruler, is the sole motive of the hatred in which we are held. If our Country, to live atpeace with Austria, England and Russia, must be extine - t, as Poland was by the Partition, and so de graded as by the last Commercial Treaty with Eng land, there is not a Frenchrrian but will call, " to aims 1" and this call is to the French a call of vic tory."
