Greit and decisive as tho, Nrietqry ,and unparalMed in its entent, it certainly did not create any enthusk , astk did ;tot produce any ebullition qt popular transport. Joy for the Vitiory, obtained sk•as cothplete:, ly absorbed in grieffor the, losaol Lord NE But while we, common with the te:lt of our Countrymen, deeply deplore the 'loss of that:gallant' Hero who always led our f leets to glory, we.eannot but express our exultation for a victory which has annihilated so.cousidirrable a part of the Navy of our ,P, , nernies, and firmly estiblisned our Maritime SUpe' riority. That the Combined Meet was destined for the M,editerranean can hardly admit of a doubt; and if they had succeeded in reaching it in safety., they might in the present crisis : have. done the. toast serious injury to the Allied Cause, But their designs, I,o;ateverthey were, have been completely fru* ated, and for the remainder of thiA War we have hule to ap prehend from their Naval exertions in that quarter. Lord Ner.sost, as we stated yesterday, waS killed by rifle ball, fired frorn the round top of„the S. izoi ethdret Trinhluda, and his Lordship, from . having-his . . bott i .,and Suir on, unfortunately pies - entecl bat too dlsunguished an obleCt for the kuemy'm marksmen.

It may not be improper,here to repeat a suggeEtion which has been frequently made by then, of aeltnowl,e*.i,cd bilivery, and (:)i high rank, ~in the profession, that tit!

The most itliporpnt results ' fluty be expeaetl.ii-Out the new arrangement among the great Ccntinenta Powers, and the Foreign Usurper of France may be reduced . to the necessity of loweting his tone, neituAthsianding, hia recent lo:ty language. Two. thou,and Copies of the Gazgite fixtraordi nary, we understand, were yesterday dispatched by •Giivernment to be dispersed over various parts of Italy and Germany, to revive the drooping spirits of the People after the late unexpedod stic‘esses of the French Usurper, We stated ye4terday the receipt. of some further P a th Paperi; They reach to the 33 st ult. We have also're6eiVed Diach aml German Papers to the 4th instant. They not only confirm what we mentioned yes terdaY relative to a RUSSiiiI) and Prussian Force hay ing entered Hanover, but also bring 'further intelli gence from Berlin of the most important nature.— Prussia has not merely confined herself to placing her Forces on the War Establishment, but has COl3- ceded lid' I:be;ty to the Russians to march through her Territorlos and, what is hilll more important, ire a6tually marching three Armies, amounting 10 150,000 men, to Franconla, the Banks of the, ihine, and the Frontieri Of the. Batavian Repub lic, The advance Guard of the Russians entered Boitzenburgh, on the Mbe, on the 27th ult. and the Prussians entered the EleCtorate of Hanover the next day. The Ahied Force took possession of Ha- novel% in the name of His Britannic Majesty .as Eleaor, and re-established the Ele&oral Gover n. nxent,-...The French, amounting to about Gor 000 t) men, threw themselves into the Fortress of Hameln, which is said to be, prOvisioned for twelve,months. Besides the. three Prussian Armies already Men ticned, a fourth Army of great force is assembling in Brandenburgh. The Prussian Troops on their, march to Franconia and Westphalia are to be joined by 2,4,000 Saxong 1 3000 Hessians,„ On the incalculable advantage of the march of E , raissian Avmy zigainst BONAPARTE it the present crisis it,is wholly unnecessary for us to dekant,:-as it -must be aViOILS to the most *Careless obkrt.ti : of the affairs of lb(' A true Narrative has beet), clree4ted by the court Vitvia, of the qondua the Et.r6Toit . of 13A- cannot be extended beyond his own Ship. This, e, believe, was the opinion of Lord Haws ; but unfortunately the spirit and .gallantry of our Coin. minders will not permit them to adopt this prac tice, however convinced they may be of the ad vantage that would result from it. Lord NELSON had, previously to the late Anion as he had before the Battle of the Nile, put all the Admirals and 6aptains of the Fleet so completely in possession of the plan he meant to adopt in the event of an Anion, that when the Enemy came in sight but few signals were necessary: The last signal he made on the memorable 21st,of On. was by Tele graph,- that " England expened -every Man to do his Duty: This Signal -was answered by every Ship in the Fleet with' three cheers: How Orel our gallant Tari kilned the Mcpe6t:ition of their Country is proved by the result bf the Battle, Ili addition to the particulars wd have already communicated, wo learn. that the remains of the brave and gallant Lord Nrocnir have been played in spirits, in order to preserve the laodruntil it can be brought to England; where every honour that a gratt: , fill Nzitipo cln bestow will douhtlfss,be'appropriated to bis Mealcuy s The Funeral vii4i , doubtles., be a s public :is possible, and condudted in tiic 1.1105 L grand, and soletnn Manner.
