The arrival of this Fleet will rut an end to the uncer tainties and doubts whiCh some have entertained re sPeainz the state of affairs on board. , It is a satis, faaion, treanwhile, to know that the vigilance of Government has been ditedcd . to . remedy any inconvenience that might arise from delay, ,in consequence. A Detachment of Four Ships of the Line, from Sir JAMES SAUMAREZ'S Squadron, has beeil some time ordered, which will render our Fleet in %the West. Indies of sufficient force to make us .respedable, whatever may be the objeft of the French,; though' there can be no reason to believe that it is' hostile .in the remotest degree to the Bri tish interest. VT last night received Pads, Papers tothe . z6th The Mov;teur contains the Official Notice of the sailing not only of the.kicet from Brest, but inst. also of the. Squadrons at LlOrieri and Rochtfort..-. The total• force to which these Squadrons amount, is Twenty tliree Ships, of which five are Spanish. They carry in-the Transports that accompany them 25,000 men. It does not appear, 'however, that the French, Government consider the - objet of the Expedition as likely to be : soon accomplished, .as „. till they have established rcplia!igails to St. Domingo, and means of conimemicatioixTwith that Colony. -; "The . departure of the. CH IE r - CoNSUL for Lypiis -is still delayed, but-would, it was expeCted, take _pine very •shtrtiv. The Minister for - Foreign -Affairs 'and for the Interior, were also preparing to depart - for that. City. • In the'Packet which brought over the Mail.con raining these Papers, Lord BROOM E came passenger. —Four Messengers also arrived. • • 4 Two Hamburg!) Hails remained due when our Paper was put to'. Press. By the .oyer-land Dispatch received at theTast India 'louse on 'Monday-, it appears that Mar(iiiis WELI,ESLEY had gone taLnck,,,w, in conseqhence of some' disturbance in that quarter, but it was.not of:sufficient consequence to excite much alarm. The Dispatches were dated from Calcutta, Jilly,3o; and ' from Bombay, August 23. Sir HOME POPHAM haCi sailed from Bombay for Calcutta, from which. it was supposed.that some fresh'ExpeditiOn tended. By the Mails from, the West Indies, which arrived yesterday, reports' were received of. a dreadtill Insurrection having taken place in the IslancV of Guadabupe. It is said that the Blacks were The aaors in this bloody, affair, which- was generally direeted against all the White People in the Island, and -that the attempt was but too successful,- the report was circulated' with confidence at' Lloyd's, but We cannot vouch for its truth, pr It will be , recolleEted, that some time ago Ad_ mil-al LACROSSE; 'the Frenth Commandant at Gun - daloupe, sent home an account to the Mini Ste- of 'Marine, of a Mutiny having been attempted at -Basseterre, but which , was supplessed, and a number of persons accused-of being engaged in it executed. Admiral LActkOssE sayS, that nose but people of colour were concerned in 'that affair. It is evident, from his narrati.ve, that he does not state the whole truth. He pretends to he anxious to obviate the efrea4 of the rumours abroad in the-English Islands. Pcrhaps; therefore, it may be to this business that the reports which have reached London from he West Indies refer, particularly as this is the first report of the affair winch has arrived direary. Government have, since the arrival of the Troops from the warm climate of Egypt, given to each Private and Non-commissioned Ofticer, a change of warm flannels and other necessaries, before they are marched to their respective rlaces of cantonment., To the great regret of the Sporting . Oentlemen in the vicinity of Windsor, Sunning-hill, and the Forest, it is understood His MAJEYO- has declined engaging this season in the fatigue of hunting with the stag-hounds; not only in consequence of the length and uncertainty of the chace, but the very great distance His MAJ Es-L.l- had frequently to IT 4 turn at its termination. On Monday se'nnight, about one o'clock in the day, as a Gentleman was passing through Qui:lt yard-alley in Fetter-lane, he was observed by 'a woman on the spot to make a sudden, stop, and after staggering a. short way, to fall ori the ground. On going to his assistance, it was thought from the distortion of his features, that he was in, a fit of apopleq, but on waiting some time, and find ing .that he still remained iii a state of insensibility, further help was procured, and it was deemed ne cessary to take him in it coach to St. Andrew's 'Workhouse, in Shoe-lane, where his pdekets were searched, in hopes. that some papers might bu found about him, to lead 'to a discovery of his name. and place of abode, but not. the least circumstance ap.. peared to trace him. .It was then thought necessary to send for the Churchwardens and Overseers of the Parish, in order that proper assistance might be 'rendered him, who procured him every necessary attention that lMmanity, could. •suggest, there not being the least doubt of his being a person of respeetability, as the gold watch in his pocket seemed to:be'Avorth too guineas ; he.had,also gold sleeve buttons, and his appearance in 'every other respett indicated the Gentleman.' On his boots being drawn. off, that he might he put to'bed, it was observed . that the name of Captain TOR NEiz was written in :the inside of one of them.: this circumstance cousins; to the know ledge of a journeyman in Mr. Whittinghrtm's Print: irtg-Office, in-the neighbourhood, he said he reed letted as Gentleman of that name and description, who had written a book about two yeats ago, and that he then lived in St. James's-place. Application was dire&ly made there, when this information proved corre&, as his man servant had been long in suspense waiting the return of his 'mas ter, who is a Gentleman of great property and con nexions. His country seat is in Gloucestershire, where he has an estate of the value of 40001. a-year. Or.e of his sisters is married to the Mayor of Glou cester, and another to a Gentleman of fortune in Oxfordshire. This calamity proves to be a stroke of die palsy, which has deprived him 'entirely of the use of One. side. It was not until '. yesterday morning that he recovered .his speech, when he, uttered a kw words to his servant,. who, copstanily attends him at the Workhouse. friek,,w,c very ,d(lsirous to have him removed , froin thence, but, the Physicians think it would tttcnded with dangerous conse quences. There are, we are concerned to hear, but very-faint hopes of his recovery. - Wednesday last LW. HENRY SEYMOUR'S Game. keeper found .a rSerjeant belonging to the Dutch Artillery suspended. to a tree in Barton wood, near East Cowes he had been missing about three weeksi_ and his corpse appeared - very much disfi. L ured, most prob4aly from the attacks of the birds. NAVAL NEWS. rLyMOUTII, DEC. 28. Fiigard, of 48 guns, Capt.

Yesterday the Master and Wardens of the Com pany of Bakers waited On the LO R D MAYOR at the Mansion-House respeding the Assize - of Bread, when his Lordship, after minutely examining the returns of the Meal-weighers, found that Wheat and, Flour had risen since their last retur.ns, he therefore was obliged, very reludantly,, to raise the Bread half an assize, or one. penny. in a peck loaf; to corn, menee and take place to-morrow—the price of the criartern loaf will then be onemttilling and one far thing. A ,P,roclarnation ha,s been issued by the Loan tuTENANT and CounCil of Ireland, offering a reward of zOO% for the apprehension and convidion Of each of the first three persons concerned in set sing fire to the dWelling-house of Thomas Neale, of Ballinapierce, county of Wexford, -and moldering the said-Thomas Neale, 'and desperately wounding Michael Neale, and Catherine Neale, ' his children, while endeavouring to extinguish the fire.' At the Assizes hehf last week, at Naas, in Ire, land, a father and son, named Moonty'," . .Weid con,. rued, and 'ordered for speedy execution, 'for rob; bing the Cork mail.. It was one of the most daring robberies ever attempted of the' kind. The mail coach was' strongly escorted .; but - these geSpera does; accompanied by six or severs others, .fired volley from behind' a wall, with such effed on the escort, as wounded several, and made the rest fly— on which they inmiediately plundered the Mail of property to a considerable amount.---:-One - oithe gang was hanged a few months since for the satherob bery. - Two, very melancholy. accidents happened at Plymouth in the gale of wind of Saturday. About sun-set, as a Swedish and two American seamen were rowing , up Catwater in their ship's•boar, with a cah ale and spare anchor to pay on board her, when off Deadman's Bay, a sudden squall came on, and the boat Shipping heavy sea, the poor fellows could not cut,, or.had 'not the presence of mind to cut, the stopper of the anchor, and the boat went down stern.foremost, which accident unfortunately launched them into a watery grave. Their bodies 'floated ashore.this forenoon on the Cat , down side: In liatrioaze, a Marrof War's boat, with 14 people on hoard, .upset in g violent squall at N.'W. and - t.4 were drowned. December 16th died at Jersey, greatly lamented, the , Lady of MATTHEW GOSSET, Esq. Viscount of tharislandi the youngest daughter of the late Sir THOS. FRANKLAND, Bart. and sister to the present. On Thursday last a very severe battle was fought at Ratcliff between two noted pugilists; one of the mak. of James Smallwood, otherwise Strong-arm Jim, and James Caton, otherwise the Cabbage gilder, when a severe cOnflid ensued ; but Small wood, at last, gave his, antagonist a knock-down blow, which determined the battle in favour of the former, after twenty,minutes very hard fighting. ,THE OPERA. K;ng' s Theatre. THE Season commenced at this place last night with a new Comic Opera, entitled L' Angiclina, oul 11 Matrimonio per Busurro, the music of which wag composed by SALIER I. 'The Overture is a good composition, and was much admired. The Piece itself chiefly afforded scope for the comic powers of MORELLI, who appeared in several disguises, and sung with his usual' force and humour. VINCI came fOrward with great success. She looked very well, and was particularly applauded id' a travura in the first ad. A very beautiful tetzetto in the setond aft VPAi SO WCIISUppOrted:VVINCI, VidANozir, and Sig. nora RovEthvio, that it was encored. The Opera altogether was admired, though not very warmly. , The first Ballet was not very new nor very strik ing. Tho second Ballet was Ifeliska.ou La Fille Soldat, originally performed for the benefit of PA RISOT, who went through the manual exercise with - great adroitness. She, LABOAIE arAl his wife, and Mad. FAVRE :GUIARDEtLE ) were . the principal Dancers. A printed paper was dispersed over the Theatre, soliciting the indulgence of the Audience f o r , HILLIGSB,ERG, .Who ,not sufficiently recovered from her lee accident tbiesume her situation in the Theatre. The absence. of such a charniing Per fotmcr was of coursealoss'io the Audience. •• The Rouse though by 'no means numerously attended, had as 'large an Audience as' is seen on the opening of the season: Therleath of Mr. RUSH is a great lossso the Pub.. lic, as there were very few men in the Chirurgical Province who were more profoundly•skilled in their Profession. .• His-chief excellence was in the treat ment of gun-shot wounds,, in which he had .consi derable and various experience. Persons suffering under such misfortunes recovered with extraordi nary ,rapidity in hands. It was his intention, ,we understand, to communicate the result of all_his 'knowledge and obseryation, in this respel, to the Public ; and it is .to be hoped that he has left some manuscripts on the subjea, as they would doubtless be . -highly acceptable, and very advantageous to Praaitioners and mankind. In his proleSs,iun he combined tenderness with decision and was, in the whole of his charaaer a striking.exampleThf huma nity, intelligence, affability,land reaitude. It has been observed, that among the EmiGRA:4T PRIESTHOOD in this Country, though they have been many years among us, scarce one in fifty could converse for five minutes in our language. But : those venerable fugitives have probably ken too etch, absorbed in the sense of their misfortunes and thenneertainty of their situation .to allow them to, devote their minds to the study of a new and diffi cult language. The calculation is, however, too extensive. The 'tench Laity at least are exempt froth so nice an estimation, for they in general min gie intimately with English families, and can ex". press very plainly theirt,:nantr_arirLmiirk,- It has been humorously said, that now there is ao end of hostilities- between this Country and France. the individuals of each State, as well as the respec- f tive Governments, should ‘.‘, disband theirpassi - 07/4, and reduce their animosities to a p eace-establish meta." In an account of the end of the. EMPEROR PAUL it is said, that when it was agreed that the ENI-. E4o . ft should be put to death, it was agreed also " to leave as little appearance of - .violence as possi ble," Yet the same account proceeds to say "he was strangled i _ trampled upon, and braised for several hours, tilt it was quite certain he was dead." — After such an account of the manner of the Elsa rEttox's death, the Historian mu4t-' , have a very strange idea of the " least possible violence." The great advantage derived from crossing the breed of cattle, has induced a similar experiment upon oysters. A ,Gentleman has imported several of the' Carlingford and other famous Irish Oysters,. which he has,laid down in the: beds of the English Nai; , i , es and Melton's. The produce of this , is said to be of 'superior taete and flavour: This fa(t strongly proves the truth of Tilburina's obser vation in the "Critic, that " an Oyster may be crossedin love." . • However convivial the man may be who has I been committed to Prison for a wanton and cruel outrage - at the Theatre, it is probable he will find that place a very unsuitable one tin cracking a bottle. Mrs. BLAND luis been thought too bulky for the delicate Ariel ; but a whimsicai Critic attempts to justify her assumption of this Charader by a re• ferow.e to the text : ailegiilg, that as the Spirt has been recently released from long conOncment by Prospero, it might, be. supposed. to haie grown fat for want of exercise. SIMMONS has taken the part of the Old Butler in Lovers' Vows, since the indisposition of MuNor.N; SIMMONS,- without servile imitation, might adopt more of the•dry gravity,of the original performer; but at present he- seems to make the oid man inten tionally turn himself into ridicule. STEPHEN KEMBLE has been preparing Venice for representation at Newcastle ; but on account of the political character of die play, does, not venture to bring it forward till its revival has been sanctioned on the London ..oards. This seems a needless fear, or delicacy ; for every thing offen sive may be, expunged from the Piece, and it will still have more sterling merit than any modern work ; of the Tragic Muse. Lord Norbury, Chief Justice of the Common Pleas of Ireland, has purchased the e'statc of. 1\49- ret, containing about 'zoo acres, in the Queen 's County, one of .three valuable properties in °tar and the King's county, announced for-'sale by Elle Marquis of Lansdowne. The Speedi, Quested, of London, was: well at Botany Bay, in March last. The Pallas, Uckerman, from Stettin to London , was lost on the Flemish Coast, 23d Nov. Captai ll and" 13 people drowned.':;:: . e,
