I then sailed in company with the D ummy Trottin for France.

The States have made representations on these heads', but it is apprehended that the English will attempt a descent on this quarter. General Mott.rt RR has dtmanded of the ASsem. bly of the States that they should provide for the naaintetianee of 40,000 men, and for the pay of the Hanoverian army. The States have since then deliberated on the demand of the General, and on the. means 'of procuring the necessary sums. This 'morning they transmitted their ultimatum to the French General.

FREDERICKSTADT, ON THE gIDER I SIPT•.3.• The English not having yet appeared to block up the passage of Dithatarren, a Whaler, belonging - to silitona, bound to Town/igen, attempted to reach this port by that channel, but falling in with an English Vessel, he was captured : they put four English 'hands on board, after taking out is of the crew,' and the prize was ordered to steer fur England: — but one very cloudy night, when a violent storm was expeded, the four Englishmen requested the Captain, who had been left on board to 'Ake charge of the Vessel. The latter taking advantage of the opportunity, steered the Vessel to this port, where he conununicated the affair to the Magistrates.. Last Sunday one of the English Crutzers appear ed off the Eider, in order to demand the surrender of the vessel and crew, without effed ; and in con_ sequence the Captain entered the Port, in order to make a formal demand'upon the subjed. Our President ;declined complying with the de. mind of the English Officer, alledging, the affair ought to be decided by His Majesty. On receiving this answer, an English Vessel with ;o Soldiers on board was sent from Tonn;mgea, and these were put on board the 'Whaler ; the next day this force was augmented. A second English 'Voisel came to anchor in our port : but, after the proceedings which hall been adopted relative to. the Whaler, their departure is hourly looked for : the Troops have since withdrawn - to Tonningra.

THIS morning the Royal Mid-Lothian .Volun teer Artillery paraded' on the Castle Hill, ~ when Major BROWN, formed them into a circle,. and addressed firm in an animated speech, in which he acquainted them that Government had received information, that part of the, Dutch and French Troops had embarked on board the Flotilla, and were destined for this Country. ,In consequence of this, he felt it necessary to ask the Corps, whether an extension of their services would be agreeable to theM ? The Major had no sooner concluded his dress, than the whole Corps testi6ed 'their assent by loud acclatriations, and they offered to extend their services to any part of Great Britain. - The music all the while played God Save the King. Tuesday Maj9r-General Marquis of Hts WILT Set out far the North, to inspect the distril from Aberdeen to Peterhead, Faserburgh, &c. On Saturday afternoon arrived at Gordon's New Inn, Aberdeen, the Right Hon'. Earl of FIFE and ;mite, from Mar Lodge, and on Sunday Mottling set off for Duff.house. . . PRINCE IVILLIdNI OF GLOUCESTER. THE Town of Liverpool, pre-eminent in its at: tachment to the Royal House, has been unremitting in testifying their sentiments to this Illustrious Prince, ever since his residence there. We rejoice in marks of loyalty wherever we perceive them, but we' are most re rely to put upon record those, instances where they flow from the heart, and ori_ ginate in the most disinterested principles. We rank amongst these a splendid F(lre given on Tues. day last, in honour of His Royal Highness, by JOUPIE GREAVES, Esq. at his house °near 'Liver pool, consisting of a Ball a'nfOlippet. 'The party° assembled °amounted to upsVatds at 250 persons of the first . sraiik and fashion in the town and neigh. bourhood. The Prince and his Suite arriving at half past nine o'clock, was received with reipecifid joy by Mr. and Mrs. GRE A VES, and greeted hy a numerous part of the assembly, it being under stood that His Royal Highness had been pleased to fix that early hour. tie rooms for the reception of the company were commodious and elegant. The Ball.ronm, though beautifully decorated with de. -gait paintings, and• . the floor ornamented in a stile of great superiority, seethed to lose their at tration on beholding a captivating. eMbtoidery of God save the King," which caused general admiration. The excellent Band of • Col. BOvrox's Regiment, which Mr. GREAV OS is the Major s ` ratified the ear the whole evening. The. spacious Grapery, re ceiving at once one hundred persons to partake of every kind of refreshment, appeared to be a relief to the enchantment of the Girdensi illuminated with lamps abundant and tasteful. G. R. with .° a grand Crown, very conspicuous.. The signal for . Supper t o the company was His Royal Highness leading his elegant Hostess and the Countess of SEFTON. to a SAI 4on in the Gardens, prepared on . purpose„ and ' i u ffieient ly sPacirms to accommodate the whole party. 01 the Supper•we shall merely say, that whilst the rare superfluities reminded us of the. old British hos: p i ta lity, its choice and arrangement did credit to t he most refined taste. Mr..Gitcav Es, indefatigable in his atteution to his ViS.itOSS, gave, after sopper, a few, but uncommonly well chosen toasts. The P a pparently highly gratified, retired 'at. a la r t inc ch e'i tmr, followed, by the company, filled with pleasure in the enjoyment of the evening. 'Wc cannot help noticing, that shortly before the arrival of the company M. GaVAT ES receiveci an acco unt of two exceeding valudble prizes, ,yet, it is but justice to say, that, he and his Lady seemed to forget this great and good news 'in their solicit. nus care fo: the accommodation of their ..visitors. This fortunate circurnsiance, and the evening being uncommonly - line, drew forth the remark, that Nature and Providence had rewarded Loyalty.
