Thi Right Iron. the Lord Major, From the above it appears that there was no foundation for the Report of the Surrender of Sari. van, no mention of which was made in the Letter of Lord kiUIIA4T. HOW this mistake arose and became so genital, we cannot at present ascertain. Yesterday morning being very Wet, Hts M. izo - r did not leave tne.Lodge at Windsor, to take his usual ride. Admiral COLNWALLIS bas for these seven months krpt possession of the station he now fills. Pcr. hales there i& no instance in our Naval Annals at a Blockade preserved with such diligence and success. The utmost aaivity continues to prevail on every part of our coast. The Sea Fencibles at Deal and Dyver, commanded by Captains ESSINGTON and FASIAN, were out during the whole of Monday night, inexrettation that some attempt would be made by the EneMy, in consequence of our Cruizers having for the most part been obliged to quit their station off Boulogne. The night, however, passed without any hostile demonstration taking place. On moss parts of our Coast the Volunteers have been placed on permanent duty. At Plymouth, at 'Vat mJOIII, anti other ports, they are performing garrison duty with an alacrity, a diligence, and a discipline, that refl , :di the highest honour upon them, The Maidstone Volunteers lave been placed on permanent duty in Maidstone Bar! . racks. The Rochester are expetted to be sent to' Dover Castle, •and the Cranbrook to Chatham Barracks. The River Medway Fencibles have re. ceived tiders to embank on hoard the ships.fitting pt Chatham.

The Petrgriil Sloop, Capt. Mortars, is ordered to take in stores for eight months; her destination is supposed to be the East Indies. His Majesty's Ship Apollo arrived at Limerick from a Cruize on the 7th inst. with the loss of sails and yards. A Ship with two lights, hung each on a separate mast, is fitting up at the West.end of the Galloper Shoal, for the benefit of His Majesty's Cruizers, of which a public notice has been issued from the Trinity-house, for the information of all Pilots and Masters of Ships. ‘. Early . on . Monday se'nnight, the Morr;ettir, of Dantzic, of about 240 tons burthen, ran ashore at Easthaven, about tour miles to the 'westward of Arbroath, in Scotland.. She was homeward. bound with coals from Inverkeithing, and had got a considerable. way over the North Seas, when she sprung a leak so powerful, that the Crew, consisting of the Master and nine hands, found it impradicable to keep it under. The wind blow. ing hard easterly, they bore away fur the Coast, to reach some port in the Frith, and were misled by mistaking the lights of Tay for the lights of, May. The Master .discrivering the error at day. break attempted to make the Frith ; but his crew were so exhausted by four days constant labour at the pump, that he could not weather Vileness.— , When the vessel struck, intelligence was quickly conveyed to Arbroath, and Mr. ,Wbs. BUTCHFR of East Seaton took command of she Life-lio , t, which was soon conveyed to Easthaven in.a car. riage, and manned by seamen from Arbrthitl , . They saved the whole crew of the ifenrirtta. Much praise is due to Mr. BUTCHER (who was Ire. trendy up to the shoulders in water in a very heavy sea), for his spirited ezertions, and to the Seamen for their steadinevis and fortitude. they were amply rewarded by the indescrilyible satisfac tion of carrying relief to suffering humanity, and having trout a watery grave ten of their fellow crea. lures I It was the opinion 44 the best expel leneedßea. men at Arbroath, that without the Lite-boat all e 4. ertiOns woold have been inefFeauaL The ,john /Lamb Capt Woozy, arrived from Boston on die t sth of Oanher, in 'lat. 4z. fell in with His Majesty's Ship Leander, all . well. His Majesty's ship Centurion experienced a most severe gale of wind, on her passage from Trine°. make to Madras, by which she lost all her masts, and it was owing to the greatest exertions of the Capiain, officers, and crew, that she was prevented from foundering. A particular description of this violent gale, or rather hurricane, has been commu nicated by a private letter received from Bombay, representing it to he one of the most dreadful and severe which the oldest seaman on board had ever witnessed. The 'Anna, GORDON, Marquis of Landalune, KINSON, and Emperor of Russia, all from Peters. burgh, part of the fleet which arrived in the Humber la4t week, under convoy of the Diligence Sloop of War, had on board 27 Russian Cadets, sent by the Emr attox to acquire a knowledge of taffies in the British Navy. Two more Cadets were on board the Henry, Captain TROTTER. The'Nerwcalth Pachet, of Dundee, JAM es BROWN, master, was brought to, on Saturday sennight at I t A, M. by a large French corvette, ship.rigged, which he supposes would mount 30 guns, Huntley Foot bearing N. W. and by W. distance six leagues, and after asking several questions, he was suffered to depart. The.corvette had yellow sides, and black ports, with red muzzles to her quarter-deck guns. v Roy AL Hu N v.—The fine young Deer turn ed nut on Tuesday morning for the Royal diversion spewed good sport. At first setting off he ran with, great speed across the Race Ground towards B ag . shot, to the left of Tower Hill, he made several turns by Swinley, where he got into a pond, but the Hounds soot drove him thence and renewed th e chase, proceeding by the edge of the Forest ; h e was taken near Swinley, after a chase of upwards of two hours, entirely in the Forest, occasiOned by the Dm. having been bred at Swinley, and nut lik. log to leave that The total amount 'of the prizes captored this war, is estimated at rwelie c a r. tied into Liverpool, alone, arc valued at twi) mil lions four hundred thousand pounds, CITY Lzearr HORSE. YIIIIIIDAY morning between nine and ten o'clock, the Regiment of City Light Horse muster. ed at their head-quarters, the top of Gray's.lnn. lane, for the purpose of being individually impeded by Col. JENKI MON. The orders given on the occa. sion were, that no member would be permitted with. sent himself, on any account whatever, except by special permission of the Colonel, or illness. The members were to be provided with every thing ne. cessary fur actual service. The six Troops of Horse mustered with their great coats in white cases. behind them, and their haversacks. The three Troops of clisthounted, who ate to aa as Riflemen to the Regiment, repaired first to the orderly-roam, where they were furnished with a necessary leather bag, or portmanteau, and instruEled by Serjeants, attending for the purpose, to sling them on their :backs, with leather straps, in a soldier-like manner.. They were then mustered, in the Riding-house, to the number of 230 ; the six Horse Troops mustered in their field, at the back of the Foundling-Hospi. tal i to the number of about 490. About eleven o'clock Col. jittrismsott arrived. He was met at the top of Gray's.lnn Lane by Co. lonel HERRies, the Commander of the Regiment, who co ndudied him into the field. The Colonels passed each rank, and inspelcd them in front and rear. Colonel JENKINION then took his stand, near the entrance of the field, and the Horse passed him in single file, with their swords presented, slow time, with a banct of six trumpets, ;playing a grand march. The three dismounted troops then followed, with 4 h4od_of. Ngle.horns,. with their swords in their right hands leaning on their shoul. dcrs, and their rifle.pietes in their left hands. The rifle.piece used is upon a new construftiou, invented by a Mcmher of the Corps. The improve ment is to fix the sword upon the piece, to answer the end of a bayonet, 'which it does effeanaliy, he. ing an Inch and a half longer, reckoning from the butt of the piece, than the common soldiers' muss kets. The weight of the rifle-piece and sword fixed is under toib. the gun weighs 7th. the length of the rifle barrel is two and a half feet. On Tuesday the Buckinghamshire Cavalry, corn. mantled by Lord GRENVILLE, had a grand Field. day in Stoke Park, when his Lordship gave orders for the. Corps to hold themselves in readiness to march on the shortest notice. The Royal Westminster Volunteers are to he inspe4ted by Lieutenant-Colonel JarlKlNsors to morrow in the Lower Mews. The Hampstead Volunteers were yesterday in_ Speded by COL DALRIPMPI:E, the Impeding Offi cer of the Distrid. • The day was very unfavour able, but the . Corps notwithstanding made a very respedable appearance. Yesterday morning. the Third Regiment of Loyal London Volunteers was inspeded in St. Paul's Ca. thedral by Ltrutenant.ColonelHAß NAGE , vho paid the Corps that commendation wnich its excellent state Of disei.dine deserved., The name of every Member present was taken down, and a report will be made thereof ,to the Commander in Chief. As the orders for attendance Isere peremptory, the eff•Ctive strength of the Corps is considered as ascer. tanned by yesterday's Muster. On Sunday next the R Spelthorne Legion, commanded by His Royal , titeltness the DUX P. Of C LAR FNM will have•iifi'll ,fi.st heid.day on A.ll. ford Common, prev ions to their receiving their - Colours.from His Royal Highness the PRINCE of WALES. 'the DUKE 01 CLAIt!NCIt is it in hi• exertions to perfect t discipline ot the Corps. On Friday last the Green wio Volunteer. met by appointment in their Drill Ground, inij , ining the Qieen's House, in the Park, to ret•eive their Colours, , wh i c h were intended to have been presented in per. ion by their former Patroness, Viscountess Hoots; • ' but her Ladyship being slightly indisposed, and the weather proving unpropitious, Colonel CAMPBELL became her proxy, made a very appropriate Address, and ctindaded the ceremony (which took place in the Painted Hall of the Hospital) in a manner . highly creditable to himself, and much to the sat istattion of all present. The Regiment, consisting of near boo strong, including Officers, &c. &c. were formed in an oblong square, when the Colours passed through in slow time, and were saluted by the Corps in a remedial and soldier.like manner. The Colours being lodged, the Corps were dismissed, with a pre vious invitation to return and fall in with itlr arms only, and match to the East Dining-hall, and pap.. take of a plain but substantial dinner, provided at the expence of their Officers ; and after much real service had been gone through on the Surbin and I.lolQck, with a proportionate allowance of por. ter, a bottle of wine was introduced between two Privates. On the KING'S health being given by the Colonel, the bursts of applause, which continued for many minutes, were unexampled and gratifying in the extreme. At ball past five the drum beat to tams, as a signal to fall in, when the attest prompt attention and good humour were observed, and the , Corpi dismissed with order anti discipline. All the Gentlemen belonging to the West Kent Yeoman Cavalry, commanded by Lord BO NV, now in London, &c. received orders yesterday morning to repair to their respective Parades at Tunbridge Wells and its vicinity, in order to be ready to march at a minute's notice, and to be provided with every . .necessary equipment suitable for the occasion. About thirteen hundred of the Guards and Mili t i a are every day 'employed on the works, which are of considerable extent, beginning at Gillingham Fort on the Medway, considerably to the right of 13, 0 ' utp , ton • they arecontintied.till they join t h e o ld works at the Magazine on the high ground above the Barracks, where a horn work is added to strengthen that point. The lines from thence are carrying on down the hill at the Chatham side to the Old Duck, where a Fort is to be ereded and bridge of pontoons--if Occasion should require it, to be thrown' from that point to the opposite shore. The lines embrace from Gilling. ham Fort to the Old Dock, the town of Brompron, t he Dock yards, the Barracks and tlr.t Church. On the opposite shore redoubts are to be thrown up at Frinsbory Village and the Quarry, • de: l 2:r e r k et i ri v l - r e a r rk M i d or w s a' e!viiisctncoinbk,t: veoahradchreecs,ehiivresanoorw. I fitting out at Chatham, - EDINBURGH, Nov. i 1.. COUNTY OF PERTH. - - - Ott Tuesday last a County Meeting was held at Perth, His Grace the Duke of ATHoLE, Lord Lieu tenant, in the Chair, which was most respeetably attended. The Earl of BaEADALTS NNe, who hae.• not been present at any of the County Meetings since his arrival in Scotland before, addressed the Chair at considerable length. He stated, that the Volunteer Force of that County was by much too small ; that himself, as well as others, bad made offers of Vohanteer Corps, to which, for, tuontlit, no answer bad been given ; that at last they were refused, while others had been accepted which certainly could have no preferable title ; and he attributed it entirely to the Lord Lieutenant. The Duke of A - rnoLE justified' himself with warmth, from the charges thaz were brought against him. If the Volunteer Force of the County was too email, he said that 10.initlry had atone to answer for that. Lord 1311i,ADALUANeS. name had been at the top of his list of those who were to command Volunteer -Battalions, and it was the system which Government bad adopted that had prevented them from being embodied. He spurned the refiellions, which had been thrown on himself, as he was con scious of their injustice. ,Viscount Mvt,vr I-LE said, he stood in the. same. predicament with the Noble Earl. Not that he had had the. presumption to ''propose raising a Corps, buche had been so . pressingly 'milted by • a body of soo meti in Stratherne, to take their command, that he bari. transmitted their offer. , ggi the Lord Lieutenant, ,although he was thus plac., lug himself in a situation for Which he was On' fitted both by his habits and , this time of 100'1 This Corps was among the number of th ose that had been refused; but he had good, reason, to know that the Duke could not be blamed for the refusal either • of this, or the NobleYorl's offer.
