The strictest discipline is observed, and the -inhabi tants are much respected.—(Same Paper.) SHEERNESS, MARCH 30. Yesterday evening the Russian fleet, lying in the Medway, saluted her Serene Highness the Du chess, of OLDENDURGH.—AdmiraV TATE, Com manding the Russian ships, landed this morning, accompanied - by all the Captains of his Fleet, to pay their personal respects to the Duchess, at'the house of Commissioner Loan, where she slept last night. The Duke • of CLARENCE, who slept at Sir Tnoitas WILLIAMS'; was also present, toge ther with Captains_DoNNE:t,LY, KING, &C. Several post-horses, have come from Rochester and Sittingbourn, for the purpose of conveying the Royal Visitors to London.—All the Captains . have been presented to -his Royal Highness this day. 'Five carriages belonging to the Royal Duke. and the Princess were landed from the Jason fri gate, a.nd a transport is gone, up the river .with great part of their luggage atol servants. The Duke of CLARENCE,. the Duchess of Otnert- ZURGH, and her Son, have inspected the Dock-, Yard, at which- they appeared , much gratified; they have since proceeded to the Garrison, accom panied by Sir TtiomAs and Lady WILLIAMS, Com missioner and Mrs. Lotus, •the Captains of the Navy, the Russian Admiral, the ;Warden, the. principal Officers of the Yard, &c. &c. Her Serene Highness is very affable, conversing with all around her. She wears a black hat and .large feathers, and has an agreeable contenance. She resides with Commissioner . and Mrs. Losa, at whose 'house a Guard of Honour has been mounted.—The Royal Party will leave Sheerness to-morrow for town. . - We had yesterday advices from Geneva to the 13th instant, of a favourable character; which mention that the French, determined on the cap ture of that city, bud . proceeded towards . it in three columns by three distin c t rou tes. Two of these, it appears, have, from some cause une.x plained,not reached the place of their destination one, indeed, which was marching by Mount Jura, has not been heard of. The third, which was penetrating by the Valla.is, was met by a party of Austrians, who, it is said, were joined in great strength by theVallaisins, and the whole division was destroyed. • Yesterday,. about 11 o'clock, an express reach ed London . from Dartford, annquncing that a Messenger was on the road, with dispatches re lative to a victory obtained. by the united armies of BL'ucllaa and SCHWARTZENBERG over BUONA PARTE, with a loss to the latter of 25,060 men., A person 'did' certainly ,arrive, not long after wards, in a Rochester chaise, and proceeded to wards. Downing-street. He was not, indeed, as in the former fraud, dressed in a foreign uniform, nor did he wear the white cockade; or display the laurel; but, nevertheless, it is pretty certain, that his, arrival was connected with the rinnottis pre viously excited. The Funds, whioh had been looking downwards all the morning, immediately experienced a momentary rise ; but this effect soon • 'ceased, when it was understood that the supposed . Messenger had alighted at the outer door of the Treasury, proceeded through the passage into the Park a and there eluded further observation. Many other absurd reports got into circulation. The Duke .and Duchess of Yoax, the Princess • CHARLOTTE, and a select party, met the QUEEN and PRINCESSES at dinner at Carlton-House, on Tuesday evening. At nine o'clock there was a party of the.Nobility.and private • friends of the Royal Family to tea and cards. -Yesterday morning, about half-past. eleven o'clock, the Princess CHARLOTTE visited her Ma= JESTY, at the Queen's Palace.. In the evening her MAJESTY and the PRINCESSES went to York- House to dine with the Duke and. Duchess of YORK. The PRI,NCE REGENT, Princess CHAR LOTTE, the Earl and Countess of LIVERPOOL, Lady MELVILLE, &c. were of the. party. - The fête intended to be given in honour of the Emperor of RussiA's Installation with the British Order of the Garter, is likely to prove, from the preparations already making, the most magnifi cent and brilliant entertainment that has been given in England since that which vas, given to the King of DENMARK, .on his marriage with the Princess MATILDA, the posthumous sister of his present iIAJEsTY, in 1768.

LETTER FROM AN OFFICER ON BOARD HIS MAJES TY'S SHIP MAJESTIC, DATED MO.DEIRA., FEB. 6, TO HIS BROTHER, IN ENGLAND, - " MY DEAR BROTHER-This clay we hare ar rived safe at Madeira, after a 6::uize of near seven months-. It is with pleaSure.l have again to in form you of the capture of another French, frigate. On the 2al of this month, a t or a b out e i g h t o'clock in the evening (being my watch), I saw a strange sail on our lee-bow, which' *as immediately re ported, and all sail made in chase ; which chase we continued under a heavy press of sail till next morning, when at eight we perceive; theee large Ships on our lee-beam : made the private signal , not. being answered, 'made sail towards them. At nine observed them fire two guns, and signalize to each other, which fully convinced, us they were not English ships. After reconnoitering, them for a short time,. hove u p and made all sail. '=At half-past eleven hauled our wind, stran gers then making sail towards us : after making out what we were, they bore up, and made sail. We immediately beat to quarters, and after them; blowing strong from the E-tst-north 7 east, • with rain at times.,. when ,at intervals weicist sight of our chase. At one we again .saw them, with studding sails, low and aloft ; .but the INlajestic, like a good ship (when an'enetny is in sight) out , sailed -them ; and.at two o'clock P. M. commenced firing our bow and stern guns at each other,which did considerable damage to the French, ship the third ship we passed daring the chase, as we could nOtlltirik of taking, possession of her when two large 44 gun frigates were light a-head : still con tinued the chase, and happy am I to say, at four o'clock she struck her colours : it blowing strong gale at the time, could not proceed .after the other frigate ; hoarded and tools possession of her; before we could get one-third of the prison arvaat of her it was two o'clock. " Shepraves to be the Terpsichore, mounting 44 gums, aeo -goer), quite and' only 20 days from L'Orient. The one which made her escape, teas the Atalanta—same force, and sailed in corn-. pany with the above., The ship which pissed us, when in chase, was. a Spanish Lima., ship, cap tured two days before by the Atalanta ; she has 159,000/. sterling on board. We shall land our prisoners to-morrow, and then go in quest of the fltalanta and her valuable prize. ',We have every reason to think we •shall fall in with them, as the Wind since the action has been blowing from the Eastwardovhich will prevent them making the fi.fnch.coast. 'Had the three engaged us, as they ought to have done, in all probability we should. not have oome off so well. 1 will venture almost . my life, that in the course of a fortnight or threq, weeks, we shall have another of them, and most likely the Spaniard. Our crew is in high spirits." By ' aletter received at the huiralty, dated Ma deira, ; 28th January !att., Captain 'Sir THOM A S STAINES, Of his Majesty's ship Briton, had *arriv ed there on that day, with the countey ship Fort William, outwatd-bound, in a crippled state : she was, howeVer, expected to sail in a few days. The cargo of the 'Spanish ship St. Juan Bap tiste, lately recaptured by the Menelau, concern ing the value of which so much . speculation has been afloat, is found to consist of 530,3,281 dol lars, and 47581 donbloons,,several chests of plate, and a quantity of cocoa. The utmost alarm- prevailed yeSterday at the Stock Exchange, on' account of the enorMity of the speculations to which the prospect of peace give rise,,and the consequent amount of the dif ferences which the gamblers would have to pay in case itloes off. CORONER'S INQUEST.-Yesterdaran inquest was. held befthe .GEORGE HODGSON, ' EST at a public house in Little Gray's4nn-lane, opposite. the Workhouse-gate, on the body.of Charlotte Noad, who was seized with a fit on Monday morning, of which she shortly afterwards expired; whilst going along Green-street, Theobald-road„ with a bliskt of clean linen on her,head, about half-past nine. .There being no person pres en t w h o h a d any knowledge of her, the body was, taken to the.

And as we May, be pre. vented by the influx of Parliamentary and other imporlant matter, we avail ourselYes of the.pre sent - opportunity to Ray a tribute to Sir GEORGE SSIART for the very 'able mamier in which he has conducted the Oratorios, ilotb on account of his judgment in selection, 'and uhis zealous and skil!'nl' ,direction of the Band, through the season.We deem it,proper to add, 'that Mr. RIES 1:1St night displayed extrarmiinary p6wers on the piduo4orte, (m.a subject taken tfiiiii - MoiART; a-nd his exim-' poraneous , additions to it, which were appropriate, striking, and characteristic.

ANECDQTE OF THE POPR...--When the POPE, whilst vet a - prisoner to NAPOLEON at Savona, thought it beneath bis dignity to bend to that am bition by which uothlng is }lda' 3acrejl, ha tva.::: obliged to submit to the most, painful Privfitiou. His . apparel was at length in such a state, that his Holiness deemed it unfit to appear in before the people on the approaching Easter Sunday. He, therefore, sent foe a tailor on the 'day previous to the festival, to do the 'most necessary repairs.— This being immediately. reported in the town, ail the inhabitants hastened with contributions for it .new suit for his. Holiness, and for the .siipply Qt . his other necessities ; and all were equally anxious to obtain a rag,. or a ;bread . , of the .garment of respectablepoVerty. On the morning of Easter dq, the tailor carried the new suit, togethe'r with the donatiOns of the faithfuli to the POPE, who took the former, but returned the money, desiring that it might be'distributed among‘theinost indi gent of the inhabitints.
