SOLtlve QUIZ AUDICAT We have waited with some degree Of impatienCe to see in what manner the,Opposition Papers would announce the sailing of Admiral CORNWALLIS to resume the command of the Channel Fleet. It can. not be forgotten, that the moment that gallant Ad. miral, after an unexampled Cru;ze of fourteen months off Brest, returned to Port for a few days, the Papers, particularly that one which takes the lead in' every species of hostility against Administration, immediately commenced an attack against•the Ad. miralty, composed, as most of their attacks are, of false assertions end malignant insinuation's. Tt was stated, that Admiral CORNWALLIS had been re-called„ or that he had been forced, by the con. dua of the Admiralty, to resign his Command, in order to make room for some other Officer more fa voured by the First Lord of the Admiralty. These charges and insinuations were repeated, even after we had contradicted them from authority, and con. sevently when the writers of them must have known them to be unfounded. Three (la's ago, how ever, the Paper to which we particularly allude, with the mist perfea sang froid, acquainted its Readers that " Admiral CORNWLLIS had sailed, in the Glory, to take the command of the Channel Fleet," without offering any apology for its igno. ranee, without expressing any regret for the falsehood of its assertions, without the slightest retraaation of its calumnies. In the same spirit of candour and truth it was asserted, that never were such valuable Fleets, as those which lately arrived, left so unprotected; the fan was, as we stated, di. re dly ot herwise. We have been too long accus. tooled to the most wilful perversion of faas in that quarter, to feel much surprize upon this subject ; hut we wonder it did not occur to the writer, that, with regard to the East India Fleet in particular, upon which so much sires W 44 laid, if blame coul , latt4cll any where, it could'oot be to the present Board of Aimiralty.

Ati4ice.from St. Panting°, received by this conveyance, state, that the City of that .name, ivhichliad for smut time been blockaded, was on the eve of, falling into the hands of the . Brigands., The only interesting ,atticle Which the Papers contain, b., 1 4.1es the above, respeels the death of General Histikkr.ros, who was to have succeeded the present American, Aynbassador t at Paris. lie died on the 12th of July, at two in the afternoon, in ctinse.. quence of a wound received in a duel on the morn., ing of cite preceding day. His antagonist was Co. lonel BURR, who fills the office of Vice. President of the Urittil States. The causes which led to this unhappy catastrophe are not stated in the American Vewspapets ; hut they are supposed to have arisen, out of those political animosities which have pre. vailed in America, in a greater or less degree, since the glori6us epoch of, the French Revolution— Much ti,iference of sentiment obtained on the othir aide of the Atlantic, respelling the consequences of that event, and occasional bickeriogi took'place be. iween the admirers of " that stupendous monument of human wisdom," .and the Advocates of Liberty in amore rest Tined form of Givertiment. America had her jaeoliar as well -24-'oe 'different States of Europe ; and 'the persona, 41‘o there professed the printiples of that St 1, were invariably the friends and panegyrists of France, and the foes and calum. niator, Great' Britain. ' The occurrence's that haye'taken jilace in the progress of the Freiteh Re. ir o lutiOn, have rapidly contributed to allay and, ini. tigaie the violence of thefewer'which it spread over the grirtest part of the civil:zed world. The' Re. volidsonar.y . disease, alth ugh not quite subdued, rliiipPearitiii fast. The real friends to Arne. rica are, the :most zeal.us 'promoteri. of British cOnneetioti, rind it afrOrds us satisfadion . to declare, that their number is rapidly increasing. The French Faaion, however, ' still • strugglesjor Fredinni. Rance and it was moo' ptolubly some exertion for tit, that putp'bse which produced this fatal event. The, elnduet of Mr. LIVINGSTON, at Paris, was al*Ost: unive . rsilly.disapproved-,.in America, arid the. Nib... lic 'voice . . had alrearly i designmed Mr. TOY, as his successpr. Phis choice was not. sup. posed to be much approved brthe opposite party,' among whom we believe Mr. Buait was one of the most zealous. Whatever he the circumstances. which gave rise to the duel, its consequences seem /to have produced 'a sensation in America almost as great as that which was created by the death of General WASHINGTON. The Co►nmot Council of the City of New York, the 'Merchants and Citizens, the Gentlemen of the Bar, the Students of the College, the Members of the different S , cieties, and the Military Bodies, all concur in expressing the most poignant regret for the death of " char great and good man," which they '' deplore as a.grear public calamity." The brder of his funer►l procession, which took place on the 14,th of July, comprehended every person that was respectitole in New York. He died in the 48th year of his age, and no person, not even the great founder of American independence, appeals to have been more sincerely lamented. . . Considerable alarm was excited, the beginning of July, in New York, by the report that the yel. tow fever had broken out at Long Island, opposite that town, The infedion was said to have been brought - from St. Domingo, but it has been since contradicted by the Mayor, on the authority of the Commissioners of Health, who certify it to have been only a fever of the common inflammatory kind. It appears, by a letter from New Orleans, of the date of June 4, that Spin still hankers alter Lou. isiana. Mobile is claimed by the United States as part of the cession of that province from Fiance, but the Spanish Governor of the Floridas has 'ob. jeeled to it, and continues to exad the customary duties. Congress has passed an Ad for the regula. lion of that part of the province ; against which the Spanish Governor has remonstrated, and he has threatened " to resist, with force of arms, every violation of the Treaty, and to repel unjust en croachment." No serious consequences can he apprehended from ir, but it serves to show the sense which the Court of Madrid must entertain of the barefaced imposition that was pradised up. on it in the progless of that most extraordinary transfer. The Boston and Cambrian Frigates were still cruizing off the Harbour of New. York. • The Duke of R}CHMOND arrived at Canterbury nn Tuesday last, and on the following day review. ed his Regiment, the Royal .Horse Guards (Blues), of which His Grace is Colonel, and expressed him. self much pleased with their appearance. Af ter the Review the Officers gave His Grace,a dinner, at their mess.house, in their usual elegant style of hospitality. Thursday morning His Grace proceeded to %dim Downs, in emnpany with General Sir DAv• I I) DUN. DAS, K. B. to an Inspection, which had been o r d ere d previous to his ark ival, of the Line of Infantry en. camped there, together with the whole of the Park of, Artillery, and the Nottingham Regiment of Militia which were ordered front the Barracks at Canterbury. 'rile Line was formed by nine o'clock, and made a very fine and brilliant appearance, and went . through its m:wetnents much to the batisfanion of the Gene. tal.--Besides his Grace and Sir DAVID, there were present Lieutenint.General F. DUNDA,i, , Major. Generals STAV EL EY and WYNYARD wills their rt:spettive &airs, and a great portion cf the WI. tary Officers of the Garrison, &c. At two o'clock yesterday afternoon the City nt Westminster Loyal Vulunteersassembled in their ground, and marched from thence to flockden hill, in 1-h tie Park, for the purpose of a G..nerJl spe di„,„ Th e inspeetion Was very minute, and their antis and accourrenvnts were declared to be in excel. lent order, both by Lieut—Col. J ENK tiso N, insped. ing Officer of the D;stritt, and Major-General the Earl of BAN URY, who was :tlo present. The Corp s liHrched . p.ist the General in ordinary and quick time, in the perfamance of Mlle() the Light Company were remarked to be particularly corm% The whole Corps then went through all the most usual uninimu. v res of a sham battle. They commenced the at tack in 4 position near Kensington Garden Gate, and ad. vanced to the Serpentine, wheeled to tie left, and fired towards the magazine, from whence they were supposed to he driven back.. They then retreated to the posistion which they at first occupied, when Lieut.-Colonel VA NsITTART receiVeti the thanks of the General, which he was requested to ColllllltilliedtC to the Corps, The Loyal North Britons are to be inspeeted by win. Ge n e r al PHI rrS, who commands the Brigade trt which they are at tachedon Wednesday next. They arc to assemble in Gray's Inn Gardens at half past three, P. M. and limn thence to proceed to Harley Fields,near Portland Place, white the InspedingGe. neral is to meet them. This Corps, though equal in point of discipline with any other iu the Metropolis, has hitherto been rather deficient in point of regu. hr attendance at their stated weekly drills. in. deed, the great distance by which, in general, the Members of this Association are removed from each other, affords many of them a kind of reasonable excuse for this apparent neglel of their duty. We are certain, however, that they will be by no means backward in the defence of their Country in the hour of danger. They are only to meet, in future, on the first Wednesday of every month. The Brigade of Royal East India Volunteers, now immediately under the command of General GROSVENOR, has lately been Regimentally inspeCt. ed by this gallant young Officer. His opinion of the Brigade, as conveyed in the following General Order, must have been highly gratifying to the Corps : jitt EGADE ORDEN. August a, 1804. " Major-General G sosv,r.NOß is happy in having had an opportunity of seeing individually the three Royal East India Regiments; lie cannot but be desirous to expres s hi s satis ladion of the soldier-like appearance, steadiness, and corred ness in the movements' of these Corps. He requests the Commanding Officers wilt communicate these, his senti ments, to their respedive Regiments. " By Order of Major• General Gitoimoroit, 14 J, CUNNINGIIAM s Majcst of brigAdt."
