MARGATE, OCT. 4. LouD KPITH has approved of the Plan propessed by Mr. Wilton-sr, of arming each Fishing Boat with an eighteen pound Carronade, which can be removed at pleasure. Mr. PITT and Lord CARR INGTON left %Willer Castle this morning at e;ght o'clock,. and proceeded along the Coast, viewing all the fortifications.-- After which Mr. PITT inspeeled the Volunteers of Ramsgate, Broadsrairs, and St. Peter's, then pro. ceeded to Margate, where he parto , k of a cold col lation at Kidrnan's Royal !lord, and afterwards ie. viewed the Volunteers under the command of cap. tain COBB, ith whose soldier-like appearance he expressed himself greatly pleased. He dined with Lord KEITH, and a party of Navel and Military Offii:cr., at Stone-House, near 13roadstairs, and re. turned to Walmer the same evening. By General Orders inserted in Saturday's dait etc; all Officers appointed to Battalions of the Army of Reserve, and to second Battalions of Regiments of the Line which have received men from that Corps, are ordered to join their respeCtive Regiments forth. . with. Those who do not join before the tst of next month, and whose absence is not satisfatiorily accounted for, will be superseded. The most positive orders have been issued to the Commanders of the different Batteries on the Coasts of Sussex, Essex, and Kent, to defend them to the last extremity in case a French force should land and attack them, and not to yield without having made the most obstinate and bloody resistance. The first Division of the Oxford Bluas, under Colonel DORRIEN, entered Canterbury on Fri. day.—The Regitnent will remain in quarters till the Barracks, lately built ) are prepared for their re. t eption. Tiursday last two Companies of the 6th Royal Garrison Battalion marched train Edinburgh Castle to Leith, to be embarked for Shetland, where they are to be stationed during the ensuing winter. CITY MILITMy SPECTACLR.On Wednesday, the fast day, a novel and pleAsing spectacle will preSent itself .in the City.—EleVen Regiments of the Loyal London Volunteers, and two Corps of the Cavalry have received orders to muster at nine o'clock in the morning, and to proceed at a quarter before ten, from their respective head.quariers to St. Paul's, where divine service will b e r . r f oirne d , ,trvi a sermon preached on the occasion by the Bishop of London ; after which die Lord Masor and Al. dermen will administer the Oaths at Allegiance to the Gentlemen oi the various regiments, and the whole will be drawn up from St. Paul's to Temple.

A Coins of Volunteer Infantry in Leicestershire have published the natnes of eleven of its late IS/lem betsb who are stated to 'have seceded from their duty, from no apparent cause except disafFM.ion or cowardice. The Duke of Iturt, A , N o ' in additi on to hi s l ib eral Subsci ipt ion towards the Volunteer Corps of Leiees. ter, has made an offer to raise a body of 400 men, in the neighbourhood of Belvoir, and to furnish them with cluaths and arms at his own expence.— The men have requested to be attached to the Leicestershire 'Z'ailitia, of which Regiment the Duke is Colonel. Monday se'nnight the Right Hon. Earl PCRCY, Commander in Chief of the Percy Tenantry, accom. parried by Lord LOUVAIt4r, reviewed the Cavalry znainfatitry of the Sourh.F.:ast Division, on Culler. coats anzi 4 , and highly approved of their soldier. like appearance. A party of Artillery sf4J of the South DownlYli. • liti,a are to do duty during the winter, at the Bat. tery on Staddon heights, near Pfyitlouth, which mounts eight 32.poundets. The line ofbatteries construairs by the miler. ous working parties of the Guards on the heights of Sir HENItY MI LDMAY'S park, at MOUISilUttl Hall, in Essex, are neatly completed : they formidable works, are very and fully command the town of Chelmsford, with the great turnpike road, which is to be th e on l y one unbroken up in this County, in Case of invasion. On. Friday, a party of 30 Blacks passed through Bath on .their way to Marlborough. They had been taken prisoners in French West Indiamen, and .having volunteered their services from Stapleton Prison, they are to remain at Marlborough • till 4 complete regiment is formed. The Hull of a West Indiarnen is nearly completed in artificial stone, intended to be placed over the grand entrance into the Wet Docks at Blackwall. The length, from stern to stern, is upwards of ten feet, with height in proportion.

Om 'Friday morning early, a Printer' 'in the. neigh. bourhood of Tottenham.court Road (whose name we forbear trl mention at present) was taken into custody by Rivet, and others of the Bow.streetOffi cers, on suspicion of having 'printed some - seditious papers, which a few days ago had been dropped down areas, and distributed in differert parts of London and Westminster. 'On searching the house, the Officers found several of the bills in question, packed up in parcels reedy to be sent out, with this interrogative title—" Are you right ?" The Prisoner Underwept a long examination on Friday, at Mr. Secretary Yottics's Office, before the ATTORNEY-GENERAL, Mr. KING, and Sir RICHARD FORD, when he was ordered into cus tody, and the next day to be brought to the Office at Bow-street, and there to undergo a pri. vale examination before Sir RICHARD FORD. The Prisoner pointed out a person with whom he said the business origiqated. On examining the person accused, however, it appeared clearly that he was innocent of the Charge. A manuscript paper, simi. lar to the printed bills, was a few days ago stuck up in the City, but was taken down and brought to the LORD MAYOR, who set on foot an inquirr im. mectiateli _ The Subscription at Calcutta for erealng a statue of Mr. PITT, amounted on the 21st of January, to 56031. too A Court of Aldermen will be. held to-morrow at Guildhall, to declare the vacancy of Recorder of London, by the decease of the late Recorder (Sir Joon Wtt.

The works upon this line will not be, immediately formed, hut returns have been required by Government of the number Of artificers and labourers in the oeighbourhood, who can he employed upon them, in case of emer gency, and plans of them have been deposited with proper persons in the different parishes. It has been thus ascertained, that the whole could be thrown up, at a very short notice. The following account of the MAMEINKE CHIEF lately arrived its this Country, is given in a Morn. lug Paper : Maitosamito EorstY' was born in Georgia, anti was purchased when a child by MVRAD Bey . for coon sequins. He was uncommonly beautiful, and got the sirname of ELVHY, which, in the Turkish language, signifies tOOO sequins.' At the age of fifteen he was made an Aga, t r the eveaordina , bravery he displayed against some - Rebel .Beys. Zil consequence of ati insult offered him by :\luitA.D, he deserted from that Chief, and joined the insur gents. IVltritao, however, repenting of what he had done, recalled. Eoettr, and loaded him with fresh favours. Passing over the interniediateiaols. of Kiaschief, he raised him to a rank eqial to his own. ELPHY BEY is remarkable for his courage, agility, and uhcommtin address anti prowess on . horse-back. He has repeatedly.cut off the heat: ni buffalo, at full gallop, with' one stroke of his sabre. He is 43 or 44. years old, about g feet 8 inches high, and very corpulent His countenance is open, and his manners are affable. He is a man of strong na tural abilities ; but hia mind is'oncultivated. He can read anti write which is a very uncommon thing among the Ivlamelukes. He never was brought to terms by the French, during the whole time of their continuance in Egypt: but constantly remained in the Desert (on which account he called himself the Antelope), and baffled five •divisions of BONAPARTE'S army, who were in constant pursuit of him. ELPHY BEY, the Mameluke•Chief, accompanied b y C o l o nel STEWART, Major HINDS, and another Gentleman who acted as Interpreter, took - awaiting in a carriage yesterday in Hyde Park, after which they walked round Kensington Palace and gardens, at the whole of which the Bra- expressalais highest satisfadtiono they returned by Knightsbridge, where t hey viewed the Horse Barracks, and Made a perils cular survey of the several stables. The Doke and Dutehess of GoRDON are at Gor. don Castle, which rings with the sound of 'that hospitality, that was the general feature of better times. • _ Mr. WINDHAM'S aeeeptance.of the Command of a Volunteer Corps is a . citcumstance in him meri. torious, as it impliei a confest,lou; of error, to say no worse of it, and reminds us of CHURCHILL'S admirable Lines ; " Let Marimen follow E rror to the end. " I of mistakes convinc'd, am pMutl to mertdi " Strive to ait better, being better taught, " Nor Dlttsit to .own the change which Reason wrought " For such I+ change as this let Justice speak.-- • " The heart was honest, hut the head was .weak. It is saidohat.the Cgt Er CONSUL is very regu lar in his attendance upon Mass. Considering she Charader and conduct of the man, this farCe of de-. notion might be thought an insult to the Supreme Being. But BONAPART2 ought to be acquitted of any intention to offend what it is plain ,he cannot believe to exist, since be„has uniformly lived in a total contempt of all laws,• Human and Divine. The pour, King-of Spain, it seems, at the request of the Chief Consul, has laid aside the . Cordon blew, and prohibited the appearance of, any E,vtitrea of ,the Orders conflated with the French ,Monarchy. It, is lucky for' this humiliated' Monarch, that the Chief Consul did not at the same time desire him to put a rc,se mind his neck,. find elevate himself above a Throne. Russia, it seems, is over.loaded with Frenchmen. It is rather strange, that the enlightened At.sicAN.

The number of Inhabitants who have remoOed from the City of New_York since the live!' broke out, is supposed to be about 40,000, of which a very considerable proportion we're residents in those parts of the town where the distemper ori ginated, and was most likely to eil'eCi ; the _mor tality, though less than in preceding periods of similar calamityi may therefore be consi,lered as indicating an equal degree of malignity and con. tagion. The restrittions of intercourse between New-York and Newhaven, is, by a new order, ex tended to Passengers by land. The quarantine is 14. days. The Bonrd of Health of this town has or dained no further interruption to the land intercourse be tweeo New_York and this City, than to require of every Passenger coming, from thence to send his ad. dress to the Board, or to some Mcmbet thereof. _ A Rutland Paper of the isth inst. says, gi We are informed that in the month of July last, in Pits. ford 36 persons died, in Bran Men 39, in C birttn don ig, Orwell 41.

IN cOnsidering, the, politics which' prevail on' the two sides . of .the Channel, we observe, with sur. p r i ze , a .multitude of people who have formed a very false idea of the cause and objet of the pre: sent War. . The English Ministers have succeeded in making the people believe that they are contend. ing stalely for the Defence of England. One would imagine that Malta was the.last Rarnpart of Eng,- land, and that all would have been lost,, if they had kept their word: -They ()are never ceased to cry out against the pretensions of France, but they have always concealed the motives of their aggies. lion j it is explained by their condud. The en, . •couragement given to the revoked Negroes ,of Si. Domingo, has been publicly avowed in the-House of Commons. The unexpaled and solemnly-per. .fidious attack made .upon French Ships that were peaceably Sailing upon the Ocean, proves that the great objeti of the English Government, .is to ruin the Commerce of France, and to annihilate her ~ Marine.

Malta is but x point upon the mop, but it ,is' the last support ' that remains to the commerce And : prosperity of Europe : it was the Only remaining' avenue of which England had to possess itself in order-to consolidate its maritime despotism.

Seas, there was reason to apprAend that when the !line came for her to restore it, she woOd answer, like the Bitch in the fable, " I am ready to go out with all thy family, if you can put me out." Ert l ::: land has had the imprudence to give this Answer to contempt of Treaties and of all Bluer, and the Fret.ch Government has reason to repent of its ge. nernsity. So far from there being any pre6ipitati,n in the conduct of that Clovernrnfla, it chewed grelt :'clay in opposing the continually increasing des. potistkof England. There req.iires no other droll' but those extreme and expensive measures to which Prance is obliged to have recourse to fight her ;five. terate enemy. If she could bring her M.Hne to ad against her ; if the courage of her inlialiitaAs, and if her Allies were ready to furnish her with means of resistance less violent than those which she: is preparing, this war would riot undochtedly be signalized by destruction. Europe ought to trem ble at the dangers which threaten het as Well as France. But Europe is always blind, we see pp.. thing but corruption every where. If we examine the maritime and commercial re.' lations of Europe with reference to those of F. 4... one cannot but be stri:k with the.blitaine-0 which the Continental Powers shew in delivering themselves up, bound hand and foot to the canrile avidity of Great Britain. Since the , re;grr of Charles V. we dream, we think of nothing heti the Continental Equilibrium, but it never entered into any body's head to think of a Maritime Eqoi. librium, which is much more nearly conneeda with national Prosperity. Oarfisa worthy of remark is, that England, which scarcely makes any figure in the Treaty of Westphalia, ha, aksaya provoke'cl the Wars on the Continent, and th it her pians.have never been penetrated. It wait oily 'at the WA! the Revolution in which she took so tafdya ii+rt. in cider to gather up the spoils left upon the field of battle by her hien& and liver enemies,that she wall suspeCled of aiming at universd empire.

'After the battle of La Hogue England had nothing more ttir fear. No Nation was more interested in defending the Liberty. of the Scas than Spain, becatrie she draws every year from her possessions in Americi th se immense revenues which canty r . be' iitrisa ported in time of war without the danger of bei{ l 4 taken. But this facility of receiving her fe'venues alrords,scarcely any advantages to individuals.
