By the Gottenburgh Mail, arrived this morning, we have the following, interesting Letter from Got tenhurgh : • GOTTENBURCIH, AUG. r:.---The Prince DE CONDE, the Puke of ORLEANS, and another of the French. Prines, .are very soon expelled at Riga, where, it is said, two English Frigates are to con. vey them ; they will proceed from thence 'to some convenient place in the Russian Dominions to mret XVIII, leave having been giVen by the EM. MCA of RUSSIA for this purpose. Their avant Courier passed through Gottenburgh for Riga on the loth inst. A Norwegian Gentleman who has been travelling along the Coast of France, from Havre by Boulogne, Calais; Ostend, &c. &c. to Amsterdam, which place he left 12 days ago, says, that the greatest disaffee lion prevailed every where, but particularly in the Army ; in aitllf+gne there were. !goo Vessels of all descriptions, which number it was intend ed to increase to 3000 ; in the vicinity were 2+,000 Troops, and about 15,0ck0 near ; Ostend these were the bulk .upon the Coast : but there were, considerably more up the Country. He says, that though the Itiv,asion of England was much talked of, and every preparation made for it, yet few persons believed it would ever take place; and that since the late Trials, the name of BONA. J'ARTE was execrated, and the restoration of the oultno; , 1 Family most anxiously wi,hed .for, and that nothing but the fear of again wading through Ali the horrors of the !Ate R.rvolution prevented their declaring, in favour of it.

Trist friends of Sir FRANc ts BURDETT yeitetday assembled at the Southampton Arms, Camden Town, St. Pancrass, for the purpose of supporting the Subscription which his been instituted in favour of -the Baronet. The Chair was somewhat incon. sistently take. by the Reverend Mr. BRostt. EY, as Mr. SITAR MOORE, the founder of this Subscription, bitterly inveighed at the Crown and Anchor, against the indecency which Clergy men committed by taking part in 1...1ei - lion cabals. Mr. BROMLEY lamented that the Meeting was not more numerously attended ; but said, that it had been proposed that a Committee should go from house to house throughout the Parish to called what. ever the inhabitants might think proper to give in aid of the worthy Baronet and his cause. • He observed, that Sir FRANCIS had been grossly injuted,•and that by the improper conduit of the Sheriffs, it was no longer a contest between the Baronet and the Sheriffs, but between the Freeholders of Middlesex and the People at large. He boldly proclaimed the- Return of the Sheriffs an unjust one. We forbear to comment on this attack upon Pub lic Officers while the subjel is supposed to be in tended for legal inquiry, because we have no doubt that the Sheriffs will take notice of the Reverend Chairman's exrra.judicial censure. He spoke highly of the spirit shewn by Sir FRANCIS, in coming boldly forward in support of the Rights of Elation, which he compared to simi. lat conduit on the part of JOHN \VILER'' ' . with whom,. however, the Baronet himself disdained a comparison, at Brentford. The Reverend Chair. man affirmed, that a scandalous attempt had been made to destroy the freedom of Eleition, anti the splendid fortune of Sir FRANCIS, by a prorraited contest. Hence he forcibly recommended an active and liberal Subscription, to compensate for the heavy expences which the Baronet had incurred in support of the rights of the heeholders, as well as to enforce those rights by a due investigation here. after. He accounted for the scanty number that attended the Meeting, by -observing that few had seen the adverthrment which convened it, and that many present.had dropped in by chance. Mr. BROMLVY then recurred to the grand Mint, the Subscription in favour of Sir Fiust.tcra DE TT, signifying, that he should lay a Book upon toe t rhlr , fur any Gentleman to subscribe what he pleased, observing, however, that in proportion to the sun subscribed, would the Public at large judge of the extent of the Subscribers' friendship fit the Baronet, and zeal for the gre.it cause in which he has so tinbly embarked, and by which his fortune had so much suffered. Mr. BKOMLFY, after pro. posing a win that a Committee should be appointed t • g., trout house to house, moved for 'the appoint. nit .1 of such a Committee, and submitted several Resolutions to the Company for opening a Subscrip. A Dr. Row t. E y seconded these Resolutions, and begdu the Subscript tun, Mr. Littotsunt stated, that from 2001. to 11 , til.a.gutnea 'was subscribed at the Cr , ,wit and Anchor, but that any sum, however he re;ulthy accepted; condoling with a Wein.' id the' , Wido , w's Mitt." The company amounted to about six y parsons. The Duke of flitoronn, according to report, has given a I bemiond rum!, towards the Subscription fOr S r FRANCS , BURDETT. We are by no rneaus incbned to believe this report, hut' consider it as a hi n t, thrown IRV to his Grac , in order to let him know what is rxpetied from him. A Morning Paper, adverting. t o t he ,expelled interview ,between His MAii.:'ry and the PLINCE of WALEgi eXpKeS , es its asionishinettt that we, shnutd have used the term " Firediatiov," in reference to the Llustri,ots Pelson ge., iii question. When cordial rt union is the matter in agitation, it is natural to suppose 'that it must be •accompli'heci by some.metiinin Or other, and we see nothing improper in using the harmless word mediation, with respeel to this interesting Measure. The Writers in the Paper alluded to are generally employed in attempt. big to sow divisions in the Country, therefore we. can easily account , for their antipathy to the unof. fending word mediation, unless indeed,,it should re. late, r • any intercom he that might be opened between tine British Government anti their old favourite the present EMPEROR Of FRANCS.

ANECDOTE.—The celebrated Earl of CHz TKR. hiving been veryonsuccessful at Billiard' wi h Luitur, a famous Gamester, many years ago, declined playing any longer. LUKUF, to tempt his Lordship to play on, offered to contend against him with one eye blinded. The Earl observed, that this mode might be of advantage to his adversary, as sportsmen shoot with . ori'd 'eye closed. Be. ing induced, however, to try his skill with one eye, and finding his efforts. were fiuitless, the Earl ac. cepted the terms, and lost five hundred wore.
