The Assembly of the Island were turrytioned to ,rneet on the 2d, when the Governor (Tretwi tlte Session 'with a Speech, which will be found in a subsequent Column, together with seine interestink.; extrads frond the Papers l The Q.trrison were in perfect health, and the I land in general remarkably healthy. The Hanzturgh Mail due on Wednoday, arrived ' thi , , morning. The military preparations on the part o f Russia continua with unabated aalivity, By letters frotn Coti stantinople we learn, that several Russian Ships of War and Transports, with 20,.000 Troops on board, were about to sail froth the Black Sea, to Corfu. Several Corps of Russian Troops were also on theirmarch to the Soutlit:.rn Frontiers of Poland. From Corfu, Russia will be enabled to make a formidable diversion in Italy, whilst her Troops, marching through Poland, will enabled to ma in the' most eirbEtual manner in eonjunaion with the main body of the Austrian Army. Nothing new is stated respeEting the pre-, parati,AlS of .Austria . , and a Letter fiorn Viebna even talks of her as ...tuning the ^attitude of armed neutrality ; but this is extremely improbable, al though it may be urged by the Austrian Cabinet as a pretext fcr their preparations, until the season is ripe kr naiort. . • Texel F!cet vv;i, it lA stated, ready to sail on flo Bth inst. it is - said to be provisioned for six i)I BY private Letters from the Hague, dated the loth instant, we letrn, that the day before an Aid-de-, Camp arrived front the k;tnperor of the French, 'whose mission, whateviir it. wit's, occasiortel tlif:l im mediate asnembling ,of ci (.;:...and Connell of State, at which the .

The purport • or this meeting is not. positii , ely kneWit, but 'it i 3 strongly rumoured that the French . and' Dutch Naval and IVlilitary Chiefs have received their final tstrutlions preparatory -to their departure,.

Having efle6ted this important operation, it is in (erred that Admiral CaitzzwALLis must retreat be fore the'tn ; .and the Enemy, thus superior af sea,. may sailup the Channel, and convoy over the Bou logne & - c. &c. Our Readers will not, we are inclined to belibive, be much alarmed by these speculations, because they will recollea that the Combined Fleet, after a voyage to and from the West Indies, and afteran at - lion with the British Fleet, will not be in a condition immediately to put to sea again, and that Admiral CORNWALLIS, reinforced by Admirals CALDER and STIRLING, and probably very soon by the Fleet under the Command of Lord Ntsox,, will have a force nearly equal in point of Numbers, and superior in every other respect to any Fleet the Enemy can send to sea.—As to the supposition of the Combined Fleet ven turing into, the British Channel, nothing can be more absurd, sunless indeed they had acquir ed a Naval superiority, because there is not a single Port on the whole of the French Coast, from Brest to Calais, in Which they could take shel ter, in case of a defeat or'of tempestuous weather. We yesterday stated a variety of important par ticulars respeelipg the operations of our Army in India. In addition to what we have already commu nicated, we are informed that the Force with which Lord LAKE sat down before Bhurtpore did not origi 7 nally exceed twelve thousand men; a number which did not enable him to mask more than one qiaarter of the works of the Fortress. Bhurtpore is situated in one of the highest cultivated, distrids of India, the inhabitants of which are all of the same trifle, and intimately conneiled with each other, brave and faithful to the Rajah. Lord LAKE could not pre vent great part of the Garrison from communi cating. with the open Country of this Distri6t, and this eccounts tbr the obstinacy with which the place was defended. Many disadvantages attended Lord Lnizr. ilvhen he first attacked the place,'as be • was witol'iy unprovided with either Mortars or r Battering l'rain. With these, however, he had been supplied when the Belle Packet left Bert bid, and it was in consequence expeaed that the Fortress could not hold out much, longer against the, skill and gallantry of our Troops, particularly as full six,weeks remained' for our -operations previous to the periodical commencement of the laud winds, which would cempel , Lord LAKE to discontinue the siege, We have heard - , nothing further respe&ing the conclusion of any Treaty, but it is probable that the Rajah, seeing the danger of his situation, wet:id gladly accede to some- modification of the original terms. It Was ratnoured at Bengal, previous to the sailtng of the Belle, that some satisfa&ory intelli gence had becu received from the scene of nation, but nothing further has transpired. It was confidently reported this morning, that Lord N11.30N had arrived at Plymouth with his Fleet ; but we are much inclined to doubt the truth at this report, because our Letters from Plymouth a,re silent upon the subje6.l, and no Dispatches have reached the Admiralty from his Lordship. - A Morning Paper which is now singular in its fulsome panegyrics upon Lord Sr. VINCE:;'T'S Naval Administration, has this day made a most indecent attack upon the Board of Admiralty, on account of the terms in which the communication was given which was yesterday sent to the Committee at LLovp's, respdting the entry of the Combined Fleet into Ferrol. The Communication was as fol - " The Combined Squadrons of .the Enemy are stated to have arrived at Ferrol," In ft6l, the Bulletin from the Adiniralty Could not with propriety have been written in more positive language, because Admiral CALnEtt had not joined , the Channel Fleet, and Admiral C'ottNwALLis, who sent home the account, was only apprized of their arrival by signal. The Admiralty, then:fore, could not communicate more than it knew ; and we have every rw sin to believe that the Gentleaten at LLovo's are fully sensible of the attention of the Admiralty in making the Communication. .

Fortunately fbrus, they did not discover what we were until the Ship got about, although they were so close to us. We have been chased by them all night - the.heavy Ships we outsailed, but one of the Frigates got within pistol shot of us about four this morning ; we dared not bring our broadside to bear upon him, as , the whole Squadron were 'Close at his heels hoerever, soon made him sick with our stern chacers, although he kept a continual, fire, .and once gave us a broaas ide. lam happy to say, we had not a man litm, nor any damage done, except a few shot in our sails ; had we been disabled in our rigging or sails, nothing could have saved us, — We are now on our way to give Admir4 CORN WALLIS inteiligeoce, which, we hope, will be by five o'clock this afternoon. Believe me, I never saw any thing equal to the good condu& of our brave men in thk'daegerous situation ; as soon as the Frigate came within shot of us, they gav* three cheers, and wished to have our sails backed, in order to engage her—forgetting the others were at no small distance from her. e should_ hale drubb'd her, had she been alone, or with another.
