take any ' part „in the War=—that, there was not a Cabinet 'won the Continent that would place the slightest confidence id the present Administration ;" and yet this very Administration, Which had not the slightest influence on the . Con tinent, is now accused of having forced one of the most powerful States into War, wholly unprepared. But this is not all. When. Austria had declared War, it cannot be forgotten that the Opposition Writers, 'day after day, proclaimed that Austria had not gone to war for British Interests ;—that Austria disclaimed all connexion or concert with us in the War ;—..that, in faat, she had only commenced tiostilities to avenge her own wrongs ;-;--and yet, in the ve l 7 same Papers, we are now told, this very Power, which disclaimed all connexion and concert tvith us, was so completely-under British influence, as to Commence a War, upon which her very exist ence depended, at the command of the British Mi l'htrY.—lt would be an idle waste of time to corn , toent upon such flaring, such absurd contradiaions. • 7 - - Yesterday morning, abont ten o'clock, His Mk. 3 trrY left Kew for Windbor.

The Letter received respe&ing the loss of the Gangei, Captain RAND, seems, to admit of very c onsiderable doubt. It did not receive sufficient credit to gain a place on the board at LLOYD'S Rooni Yesterday ; and we hope thefaa will be determined ac cordin d g to the doubts which are at persent en ertaine.

The'Flags have been flying at the Castle, Forts, and Viftualling-Office, half-way up, in consequence of the remains of Lord NELSON being off here. PLYUOUTZI, DEC. 12.—Arrived the Brig Hum phries, Captain J OHN Y OU N G , from Qu e b ec , laden with timber, &c. for the Dock-yard, at this Port ; also, the Schooner Mary, Captain itztmzu, ; and the Brig John and Sarah, Capt..--, both from Cork, with provisions. Letters received here, by an overland express from Bengal to England, dated Culloden, the sth July,:state that, by the very aolive operations of Re:Af-Admiral Sir B. PELLEW, Bart. in his distribu tion of his Naval Force and the hired Armed Ships he bad purchased for Government service, a great stop was put to the depredations of the Enemy's Privat,:ers in the ban - Seat: on our trade and com merce. The Ships' Companies were all heslthy and well. The Bengal and part of the Bonilla), Army had joined inland, to be ready to corm menee operations in the field if necessary. The following Snips are now in dock, to be slightly repaired (and then to go out to make room for other Ships off the North Jetty, to be repaired), viz. Royal George, 1 to guns ; Bedfinyl, 74 ; Sump. son, 64 guns ; Indefatigable, of 44 guns ; and La Didon, of 48 guns ; the latter Ship was commii sioned yesterday by Capt. BAKER; her • •daiiiage is mostly in her quarters and stern, and will be soon repaired. Yesterday and this forenoon 950 French Prison ers were landed at Alin Bay (and conduced to . the new American prison, higher barracks) from the Royal Sovereign t to, Belkisle, 84, and Leviathan, 74, from off Tratalgar. So great is the animosity between the French and Spaniards, that if either of ' these cordial Allies were to catch any st4Prisoners of tale other Nation in their own prison barrack yard, great risque would be run of an assassination taking place. The Neutral Ship with Segovia Spanish wool, worth 30,0001. detained and sent in here by the Lord Nelson, of 14 guns, Captain Caowre, of this Port, as enerny's property, was finally condemned by the Court of Adtniralty last Monday. Letters have been received to that elle& this day by the Owners' ProEfor, which has occasioned great joy among the Owners, Officers, and Crew of the Lord Nelson. It has blown a gale all day. POUTSMOUTH, Dac. 13.—Anived the Lion Cut ter Privateer, Capt. BELL, from a Cruize. Sailed the Abicore Sloop of War, Captain HEN NIKERI and the Locust Gun-brig, Lieut. Gavot, on a Cruize. The Eurgehis Frigate, Hon. Capt. BLACKWOOD, is ordered, on her being taken out of Dock, to be fitted for Foreign Service. The Colossus, of 74 guns, Capt. J. N. M ORRIS , is ordered to be paid off. The starboard wadi of her Crew were turned over yes terday to the Canada, of 74 guns, Capt. HARVEY, which will go out of Harbour the first fair wind.

W. to N. and from that to N. N. E. and blew a whole gale : the Fleet, consisting of the Ville de Paris, Hibernia, San Josef; Princess Royal, !fall*, Warrior, Prince George, linpetueux, Bar iteur, Dragon, Captain, Triumph, and Plantagenet, prepared to weigh, but it blew so tremendous that they were unable'. I believe there are few Ships but what have slipt (as they were, orturiately riding at a single anchor) and are gone to sea, thank God, all well. The two Cutters, Nimrod and industry, alias Far, are preparing to foll6w. Still continues to blow heavy. One of the . Plymouth Vietuallers has hoisted a signal of distress, and our Fishermen are just gone offWith"an anchor to her. DzAL, Dsc. 13.--Arrived the Mi'zr from a Cruize off' Ostend. Yesterday, during a strong gale from the north east, a great many Vessels were under the necessity of cutting their cables, and running down Channel.

GREENOCK, DEC. 12.- , Arrived at Port-Glasgow, on Sunday, the Schooner Nancy, GIMMELL, from Halifax, in 25 days. O n th e - itith ult. in at. 44. 31. long. 54. fell in with the Seal of Trinity, CouslN, from Halifax, bound to Newfoundland, which Ves sel had been blown off the Coast, with the . loss of all her sails, had-sprung a leak, and the half of the cargo had been thrown pverboard; took out the crew, consisting of the Master and 'three men : the Vessel must have gone down shortly after, as she was then making a great deal of water. On the Ist inst. in lat. 50. 41. long. 32. spoke a Brig from Quebec, bound to Plymouth, but could not learn her name. EAST INDIES. • On the ?.7th of May arrived off town (Calcutta) the Ship .Thomas, Capt. I.,ttiotvrit, - from Co ' lumbo, the 4th, and touched at Madras; which Port she left the 12th. Capt LEARIVOUTH reports, that prior to his leaving MadeaS His Majesty's Brig Albatross had arrived there, and gave information to His Majesty's Ship 'Concorde CIA. WOOD, then lying in Madras Road s , o f a French Frigate being off - Ceylon, and that she had captured a small Brig. • The Concorde immediately slipped her cables, and went off under filll sail, in the good hope of falling in with the Frenchman. This no doubt is the fit= mous Bellone, of which io much has been said, and in consequence of the Concorde being 'reckoned a very fast-sailing Frigate, we trust soon to hear of her bringing the Enemy's Ship i n t o some British Port. The Country Ship Henry .Addington was going into Madras Roads as the Thomas was coming out. We are sorry to addd to the above, in telligence received by Captain IHARMOUTH of a .Boat having unfortunately .upset when sailing in ' Madras Roads ; an Officer of the Montrose, and two. Seamen were unfortunately lost on the above occa sion ; the remainder saved theros, , ives on the bot tom of the Boat, and were picked up by the Boats of the Ships then lying in Madras Roads. It will hardly be deemed credible, but it -is abso lutely true that the King of Pens3ra made an ap plication to BONAVARTE for the release of Lord ELGIN, and - was refused, and that. the Emperor ALtX,ANDER afterwards made the same request, Which was also rejeded. Indeed it was ath.now ledged by one of BOZTAP.4/ITEIS confidential Mini iters at the time that such high intercession was only calculated to prolong his Lordship's captivity, as the Usurper could not deny his pride the gratifi cation of rejeding it ; and it was observed, .timt if the application bact.come from any /earned Society in this Country, on the ground that his Lordship was an: enlightened and liberal Patron .of the Arts, and had recovered many remains of antiquity at a great expence, it is not improbable that the appli cation might have succeeded, as BoNarAarE 'ideas to be a friend to the Arts. But the Usurper - was equally rigid and more capricious respeding Lady ELGIN W110"114d solicited ' permission ,to•return to this Ca;untry, and .vas encouraged to hope for suc cess; but after remaining some time at Paris, she had reason to believe that permission would not be granted.—At length, when .the Dispatches an nouncing the triumph of the French over the Ans trians reached Paris,, a • permission also arrived for Lady - ELotN to depart, provided, she went off imme diately, The permission was •granted at this parti cular period, that Lady Et.QXN might confirm the contents of these Dispatches by an account of the rejoicings which had taken place in Paris at the Moment of her departure. • It has generally been thought that men Of genius are incapable of works that require labour and per severance. This opinion,, however,. has some exil ceptions ; for AMMON was one of the most indus trious 'Writers that ever adorned the Republic of Letters, and his friend ,the late ARTHUR 111(11trIlY, was also a conspicuous proof of talents united with industry, for he has left a considerable number of . Manuscripts, which of themselves must have oc cupied a great part of his life, but which also shew that he must have devoted still more time to the preparatory studies requisite for the composition of those Ntanuscripts. TILE THEATEE.- , —Miss SMITH lag night again op pedred in the part of Desdemona, at Covent-Garden Theatre, and acquitted herself in a very respeaable manner. KA:MULE'S merit in the valiant and credu lous Moor is too well'known to require criticism or panegyric. It was a corm& and anii4ated ihstnp tion of charaeter throughout, and excited great ap plause. COOKE displayed his usual diligence in logo, and was also much applauded. CHARLES KEM TILE'S Casio is one of his best efforts. The same may be said of Mrs. LITCHFIELD'S Emilia. At one of the Mock Anaions in the Strind, a shrewd Irishman looked in a day or two since, and, after witnessing for some time their may/cm/res., he called out to the man with the hammer, "Pray, Sir, may I Lid what Ip/ase?"--" Yes, Sir," was the re ply of the complaisant AuCtioneer Whb then.," says Pat, " I bid you —a good morning." On the Thanksgiving Dv was fling, on the beau tiful new peal of 6 bells, at Swaffh.ini Prior, in Cam bridgeshire, 5040 changes in three hours and t 5 mi nutes, without once basking a stop..
