FEBRUARY 25. After General MARMONT had arrived here, i Rear-Admiral VEVAPJEL received orders to sail with a great part of the Flotilla from Flushing to • Dunkirk and Boulogne. On the iBth, a general Embargo was laid on all Vessels in the Island of Waleheren, probably to prevent the Enemy from obtaining intelligence of the sailing of the Flotilla. On the i9th, a large division of the Flotilla, con_ sisting (f. nearly too Vessels, viz. of zs Gun boats, and 75 Flat-bottomed Boats; having on board two French Demi-Brigades from the ter ritory of Hanover, got under sail in the pre sence of a great concourse of speetators. About noon the division was out of sight, but in the even ing returned unexpe . ttedly to Flushing, a thick fog having arisen, and the wind become entirely -con. trary. According to other accounts, the appear. . ance of some English . Ships of War occasioned its return to Flushing, where the wind continuing contrary, it still remains. In the mean time, the other part of the Flotilla at Flushing, consisting of nearly zoo fiat-bottomed Boats, Transports, and Gun-boats, has been got in readiness to sail. General WlAiNioivi had fixed his Head-quarters at Utrecht, in a house called the Papal House, hav ing been the residence of a Bishop of Utrecht, who afterwards became Pcipe.

He was, met by, a de tachment of Batavian Hussars and Grenadiers from our Garrison, who escorted him to the Dock, where he received the compliments of the Municipality, and-afterwards dined in company with the French Commissary, the late Direaor Gotitstt, &c. The next day he went, accompanied by one of our Di. trelur3 of the Marine and his retinue, in two yachts, over the , Zuydersee to the Helder and the Texel, to inspea the Fleet and the Troops in North Holland, ,whence he will return by land to Amsterdam and Utrecht ; after which he will go to F/ushing. The accounts which continue to he received from Ceylon, confirm all the melancholy, details previously communicated, relative to the horrible massacre of •our troops in Candy. The following intelligence is -given in a letter from Tanjore, dated the Ist of September :—" Major DAY I E . , CapL RUMLEY, of His Majesty's M4ay Regiment, and a Captain of the Bengal Artillery, are the only officers retained as prisoners; they are. now employ. • ed in working on • the roads, and in other de.. grading offices.

Upwards of . 32 Officers have died or been killed in Ceylon since the beginning. of the war. I firmly hope, however, that the Candians will not glory long in their cruelty, as an army of 6000 men i s now as sernbling in - Bengal, destined, it is said, f or C e yl on ."

The,Yrce-Presidents present were the Earl of KINC;sTOIs:, site Earl of Lustea tete, and the Right: Hon. Ctelt al'. The company, was ver e y nurnertause about 3so having sat •down to dinner, which was concluded with Non Nobis. Domitte, by rh ovum, and a full chorus, shortly after which the Children who are under the charitable protec tiOn of this Society, were introduced, and their ap. peitrance afforded - ft very laudahle testimony of the care of the, persons entrusted with their superintend ante.

It was, he said, •the health of his Noble and' Illustrious - Friend on his_right hart!, the Earl of MOIRA, whom he had the honour So unworthily to succeed-in the Chait of that Society, which, on the la,t Anniversa ry of die Festival, he filled with so much honour and advantage to the Institution. The very able and eloquent oration pronounced on that day by his Noble Friend,4rom the Chair, trOist iveli be rernern:. bored by most of them who now heard hiM. The danger which then menaced the Cotintry in the pre- parations of the Enemy, and then so ably depidell by his Noble Friend, was now mattorted and ready for explosion, and he was proud to witness, through out the United Kingdom, one unanimous Spirit of resistance. From such a spirit must be-anticipated the most triumphant result: Upon a subjea Which came so home to the.heart and feeling of every man, he felt it unnecessary at present to dilate, to divert the attention Of the Assembly from the parti cular objeEt of this day's Meeting ; namely, the cha ritable support of those chidren whom the Society had taken under its humane proiedicn. The duties of charity embraced all seas • and nations, and the Society, by the erotedion it extended to these poor children, would, he hoped, preserve them as valuable memberS to society. Lord HU Trilll- INSON concluded by repeating the health of his Noble Friend " Lord MOIRA." The toast was drank with loud, reiterated, and enthusiastic ap. plauses.. The Earl of MontA rose, to rettrrn his sincerest thanks to the assembly, fele the warm' and'llattering manner in which they had been pleased to receive the sentiment proposed to them by hii noble and gallant Friend ; who, he observed, in the. senti ments he was pleased to express on the occasion, seemed peculiarly mindful of the day, and of the company, and was therefoie resolved to gratify them with a blunder ; for such, he must beg leave to consider the effort of his Noble Friend, to transfer upon him the peaise and the charaderisties that were so peculiarly his own. If there was any cir. cumstanee in which he felt more 'than ordinary pride, it was in being a native of that country which gave birth to his Noble Friend ; his heart had ever scorned to stain the Shamrock; and it was that feel ;nee he wished most to excite in the breasts of all his CoUntrymen: nor did he entertain the least doubt of his being supported by those whom he had now the honour to address, and who must be considered, in some degree, a representation of the Irish People in the Metropolis of the Empire. As to the pre parations and threats of the Enemy, the moment was now approaching when we should have 'to meet them on our own coil ; and he exulted in the re fiedion, that no snialt portion of the public de. fence would fall to the .share of his. Countrymen. Upon this point 'it was that he most anxiously wished to press the principle of never staining the Shamrock. There was an old adage, often used in Ireland, that "one castle of bones was worth ten or stones;" an adage, the - truth of which must be the mote obvious the more it was considered; for our safety must depend infinitely mere upon the determined valour of those who are ready to sacri. fice their lives fur their Country, than upon any se curity which artificial means can furnish. The Noble Earl, concluding by . a very warm and-feeling eulogium on the -nature and objed of the Charity, proposed 'to the CoMpany the health of 1 4. Lord HUTCHINSON." 'Lord HUTCHINSON next propose& " the City of London," so worthily represented in that Society by the presence-of two respedable, Aldermen, Row CROFT and FeowE . R. • With the worthy Aldet men expressed. their most cordial thauks, in the name of the City. healths of Mr. CokRY, Lord CASTLE REACH, Lord KINGSTON, and Mr. CANNING, were after wards drank. Lord HUTCHINSON having quitted the. Chair, Alderman RoWCROFT was unanimously ealled•to it; an d soon after, Mr. FELIX MACMUTHY rose, and congratu. lama the Society on the discernment it had evinced by calling the worthy Alderman to the Chair, which was vacated by a Nobleman justly admired for his public and private virtues, respeded by all intelligent and honest men, for the liberality of his politics and the integrity of his charaaer— a Nobleman who had acquired his rank and "copse. quence, not by cringing to the Minister, or bowing 4t levees, but by displaying his eminent talents on the field of Mars, and fighting right on for vietory, fame and glory (reiterated applahrse.) When he heard from the lips of another Nobleman (who was truly soled by the Noble President the ornament of Ire land) that his greatest care was and ever would be, .not to stain the Shamrock of his Country, who did not feel that delightful emotion and generous ardour for the cause of freedom which the sacred green ue. vet • (Zed to excite in the breasts of Irishmen 1. . • . oft/pp/arise).
