GREENoCK, JAN. 3.—We are sorry to have to Mention, that the Hunter, NIActINLA.Y, of this port, is on shore within two miles of Wexford ; .and that the Captain was afraid she would not be got off. He was in hopes some part of the cargo would be saved ; but that would depend on the weather, The Brig Peggy, is on shore at the same place. The Barton, at Liverpool from De. rnerara; sail,d thence zoth.November. The ships to join the Fleet for Britain were to sail the Istit of the same month.

Beitesroßn, which was said to have been lost. She is in a very shattered condition, ow:og to the late tempestuous weather. The Tamar, belonging to Liverpool, which en_ gaged and captured the Braave, formerly a French Privateer, laden with slaves, is foundered off Bar. badoes ; the Braave was in company with her, and saved the crew and cargo of slaves, and is arrived at Ba rbadoes. On Saturday morning last a Brig was discovered to be on shore near Dartmouth, bottom upwards, but her name could not be ascertained, as her stern was beat to pieces. The bodies of some of the crew have been washed on shore, and some colours have been found in the wreck, of the Danish nation ; it is feared the whole of the crew are lost.

JEROME BONAPARTE arrived here yesterday from Ex trad of a Letter frOm a Gentleman at Washing. ten : " It is no longer duubted that our Government will meet with opposition from the Spaniards, when an attempt is made to take possession of Louisiana, and that the Spanish Minister has obje(ted to the right which France Claim's of alienating this Country to the United S tates . Th e trut h i s , that there is a Concerted plan between the Courts of Spain and France, and that the Americans are only made use of as roots, to prevent the English - from seizing on the territory ceded to thern At all` events, our Administration appears resolved toAnake all ob. stacks which may be thrown in their,Way yield, to force : they consider the quiet - claim of 'BONAPARTE equal to a just title." Great complaints are made, in the American Pa. pers, against the insolent conduit of the Crew of a French Privateer, which may be said to have block aded the port of . Philadelphia, as she brings to all vessels inward and outward bound. This humiliat ing sight has been for some time witnessed from the different wharfs in the town, and yet no steps are taken to put a stop to this gross insult. CHILICOTHE, NOVEMBER 12. [From the Scioto Gazette.] The following Letter from the Department of War at the City of Washington, to His Excellency the Governor of this State, was received by the last night's Mail : • " Sift, War Department, 08. 3r. " There .being reason to suspea that the Officers of the Spanish Government at New Orleans may decline or refuse to give possession of the County of Louisiana, ceded to the United States by the French Republic, and which Congress have by law authorised the President of the United States to take possession of, and the President having judged it expedient tb pursue such measures as will ensure the possession. I have therefore been direeled by the President of the United States, to request your Excellency to assemble, with th e l east pos sible dely, soe of the Milit ia of the State of Ohio, including a suitable number of Officers, and cause the same to be formed into a Regiment of eight Companiers, to be engage' .ed to serve four months, unless sooner discharged ; to be .mustered in:companies, and ready to march, if called, by the loth of Deceinber at furthest. After having been so mustered in companies by suitable persons, appointed by your Excellency, the men may return to their homes, but must hold themselves in readiness to join their Companies, and march at the shortest notice. Each Officer and Soldier will be entitled to pay from the day they shall receive orders, and march to join their respective Regiments until discharged. They will be entitled to the same pay as Regular Troops in the service of the United States. " I have the Honour to be respeafully, " Your humble Servant, _ " To His Excellency Eduard Tiffin, " H. DEARBONE. Governor of the State of Ohio." We understand that the Provisional Army is to he composed of Soo mounted Volunteers, from the IVlississippi territory, to join the regular troops in that territory, and to proceed immediately to New Orleans, to take possession of Louisiana; in the mean time, the State of Tennessee is to hold m re:4. diness, to march at a moment's warning, zoo() Mi litia; Kentucky 4000; Ohio Soo; Territory so°. THE THE ATE& E.—The comedy of As You Like It, and the ballet of Cinderella, last night et); [rely fil led Drury-Lane Theatre. Mrs. Jott DAN made her third appearance this Season in Rosalind,' and sup ported that charaaer with all that force, humour, and spirit, for which her acing is distinguished. The comedy went off altogether in a very respeaa ble manner, and the ballet was received with the warmest applause. It is certainly a very splendid exhibition, and is uniformly supported with great correaness and striking dila. KEMBLE is soon to perform Cardinal 1r0159, at Covent Gard en Theatre. COOKE, we presume is to play King Harry, and there can be little doubt that both of these Charaders will be well supported. Having too the advantage of queen Catherine by Mrs. SlDDcus, the Play will most probably be re - .. vived with great success. As there is so much merit in the general compo sition of Cinderella, it is a pity that it was not made a speaking entertainment like Blue Beard; but as a sordade it is certainly one of the most superh and interesting that has ever been exhibited on the Eng. lish Stage. The new Comedy which is soon to be forth_ coming at Drury -lane Theatre, under the title of The Soldier's Daughter, is the produClion of CHER. Ity, the Actor. DR UR Y.LANE TWELFTH CAKE.--BADDELEY'S Annual Cake, left by Will to the Performers of . Dt u. ry.lane Theatre, was as usual divided in the Green Room last night, between the Play and Farce. Much mirth and good humour prevailed on the occa sion. The health of the KING, QD ERN, and ROYAL FAMILY, was first drank; the'' Name of the Donor," was then given ; next " Mr. SHER IDAN, and the Proprietors of the Theatre ;" " the veteran KING, and long life to him ;" The Army of England half Seas over," &c. &c. To each absent Performer was sent a piece of the Cake. An additional Cake, given by the Proprietors, was afterwards divided among the little Gods and Goddesses, who were all highly gratified with the present. THE ATR 1C AL ORTHOGRAPHY.—It has been of ten observed that theatrical genius is seldom con neded with knowledge, and the following Original Letter from the celebrated Mrs. CIA v e to SHUTER, with whom elle had a dispute about her Benefit, is a striking illustration of the remark. Mrs. CL rve pOdSCSSCd comic taknts of the highest kind ; though_ hut few actresses of the present day can rival her in we trust, for the credit of the stage, that most of them excel her in Literature.

" lir,"niega-Street, Marrob 27, ty6 t , "To Mr. Shuter.” rßEArcil & DUTCH PAPERS, PARIS, DEC. 'EL—Since the conferences, such as those at which Count MARKOFF, the Russian Minister, wa s present, a report has been again cir, culated, that the FIRST CONI;UL will immediately join the Army of England, and that the grand Ex. pedition will speedily take place. Nothing is more natural than this report, and yet nothing more un certain. As soon as a probable motive for the FixsT Cousut.'s remaining in the capital has dis. appeared, the Public must believe that the presence of BONAPA.RTE is imperiously required on the coasts. Every thing is,constantly ready to receive hint, and relays of horses are always waiting at every post to convey him thither.. Besides considerable forces, some hundred ,thousands of-,rnen. assembled on,Che coasts, the chief command, of which he has announced he will . take upoo himself, are ready to embark in boats, . without . number. The present, season is no doubt the most tempestuous, and most dangerous to navigation, 'but it is also most proper for the execution of the teterprize meditated against Great Britain. We, must, however, suspend our curiosity, and wait with patience for the result, And confine our attention to the extraordinary movement of the preparatory dispositions these are imposing. The greater part of the French Troops, and the best disciplined among them have taken the field. The Army encamped at St. Omer is esti. mated at 70,000 . men ; besides these, 100,000 it is said are Cantoned along the coast between Bou logne and Ostend, and new detachments arc con tinually marching from the interior, as well as the frontiers of the Rhine, towards the coast of the Channel. A body of 7000 men, recalled from Hanover, will proceed to the same destination, as will also the Troops which hut hitherto been sta. tioned in Helvetia. Dec. 24.—Accounts from Bourdeaux state, that a vessel arrived there from Martinique, has brought ac counts of that Colony being in the most satisfaftory state, and that the Inhabitants were in a perfed state of concord. It was trot imagined that the English would attempt a des6ent there, after the check they received at Guadeloupe. Another vessel arrived at Rochelle,. brings intelligence that an Expedition of 3200 men had made a descent on Guadaloupe ; that a sharp contest was maintained for three days, when the English were compelled to reimbark, leav ing 600 men on the field of battle.—These pieces of news require confirmation (says the Moniteur.) In the Sitting of the Senate of the . 2oth Decem ber, a Senatus Consultum was decreed to the fol lowing effeEt : The4l RST CONSUL is to open every Session of the Legislative Body. He is to appoint twelve Members of the Senate to accompany him upon the occasion. He is to be received at the door of the H :11 b; the President at the head of a deputation of twenty_four Members. When the CONSULS h.ve taken their seats,- the Members of the Tribu n,-ite are ri be introduced, and placed in the part of .!le Hall ass i gne d to t h e O rators of Government. I ne FIRST CONSUL, after. opening the Session, will receive the Oaths of the new Members of the Le gislative Body and of the Tribunate. The Coun cillors of State will proceed to make such communi cations as the Government may have decided upon after their Sitting will be adjourned. During the day of the opening of the Session, the Police of the . Legislature will be under the superim. tendance of the Government of the Palace and of the Consular Guard. The Fr P.ST CONSUL IS to appOint the President of the Legislative Body, upon a presen tation of Candidates made by the Legislative Body. The FIRST CONSUL is also to appoint four Qudstors out of twelve Candidates presented by the Legisla tive Rody, to whom • annual sums voted fOr the expences of the Legislative Body are to . he referred. DEC. 25.—Letters from St. Malo, Blest, and Marseilles, contain the -intelligence, that a great .number of ship-carpenters have been sent from thence to Boulogne and Antwerp. 4, ; According to letters from Marseilles, oldie i gth Inst. an Expedition has sailed from that port for our West India Islands. We learn from Cherbourg, under date of the i Bth inst. that in spite of all our endeavours to prevent it, the English have succeeded in burning one of their Frigates, named the Shannon, which was stranded under the Fort Reville. A few days since a division of flat _bottomed vessels sailed from Cherbourg for Havre. The Marine Preted of the latter port has ordered all sea-faring persons, from to to 6o years of ate, who reside in his dis tria, immediately to make their appearance at the Marine Of : and notice has been given to all the seamen and waterrnen at Rouen, to hold themselves in readiness at a moment's notice, to proceed to Boulogne, in order to serve on board the national A certain number of men arc to be drafted, it is said, from all our Regiments of the Line, who, under the name of " the Chosen Band," are to at tend the Futsr CONSUL on the Expedition azainst England. The FiasT CONSUL is now daily present at the Sittings of the Council of State. General VIAL, our late Ambassador at Holland, is to succeed General Ncy, in the command of our Army in Switzerland. • The Russian Ambassador, Count MARIOFF, has demanded and obtained his Passports ; he intends to leave this Capital in a few days, on his return to Petersburgh. The FIRST CONSUL, it is said, intends, within a few days to proceed to the Coast, and examine the present state of our preparations for the intended grand Expedition against England. But it is now pretty generally believed, that the Invasion of that Country will not take place before next February or March. A letter from Boulogne, of the 17th inst. states, that the Flotilla assembled in that port, amounts al ready to 3so vessels, and will shortly be reinforced to the number of 600. General DELEGORGUE writes from Valogne, ttn_ der date of the i zth inst. that the Crew of the Eng lish Frigate the S4annoN, composed of 3so men, have been made Prisoners of War. The English Prisoners of War who were lately confined in the 4th Military Division, are trans ferred, the Soldiers and Sailors to Charlemonr ; the Officers to 17,:rdtvi, DONK / ttk, tee. t.t.--t.ent. General D'At'ottsT is arrived in this city to inspect the division which is hutted on our coast, He' seems to he perfeMy satisfied with the present state of our warlike pre. parations, finding that his orders had been executed with the utmost precision. Pour to five thous%nd fresh troops are lately arrived at Boulogne, or in the camp near that city. The,,,Fty,s-r CoNsut, is aho shortly expeded there; hut the day of his arrival is not yet known. The company of Guides for the, Army of England is nearly complete, and Will he of very material service after a landing shall have been effeded. The numerous division of Ships of War, which is lying in the Road, has been reinforced by several Sloops and Gun-boats lately launched in this Port. Flat-bottomed Vessels are daily arriving hete t which have been built in the environs of Berg-nes and Si. Omer, and are to be fitted out in our Har bour. In the opinion of well.informed persons, the Invasion of England cannot possibly take plate be. fore the end of next month. The three Divisions, which are hutted, between this place and Ostend, are under the orders of Generals FF./AND, OUDI "ROT, and DIJIt ETTE. BRUSSELS, DEC . . IS.-A very considerable num ber of Smiths have main passed thro ug h our town , on their way. from the Country of Liege to Boulogne, ,wthere they ate to be employed on board the grand Nation:ll_ Flotilla, under die orders of Adinital Bitutx. FLostlitio, Dxc. t9.- , -,-The Gun-boats built at Amsterdam and Rotterdatn,'and destined to join the Flotilla whiCh is fitting out in this port; are al ready partly arrived, and the number of vessels which are to aft in the Expedition against England, is daily increasing. The other Floatlas, it is said, 'have already put to sea from the Texel, Helvoetsluys, Harlingen, Hoorn, EnkhUizen, and Medenhlik. PETERsDURCH, DEC:. 6.—On the ad ins% Baron NICOLAI, who belongs to the Russian Embassy at the Court of St. James's, but has resided these last five months in this Capital, set out on his return to London. On the loth November, the Dwina, near Arch— angel, was already covered with ice. Letrstc, DEC. 13.---Prders have been received On the Polish Frontiers, to foam magazines of pro, visions for the Russian Troops who are assetablipg in that quarter. LAUSANNE, Dec. g. —Helvetia is about to he evacuated a second time by the French Troops. Oa the 6th,. in the evening, the three Companies of these Troops which were here in Garrison received orders to join their Corps at Basle immediately, and set out horn this city next morning. The rest of the Troops have received orders to proceed to do frontiers of the Rhine. VIENNA, DEC. consequence of the late formidable preparations on the part of our Govern inent, against Bavaria, and since their suspension, the Negotiations between this Court and that of Munich, have been - very atlive—and the conferences between the Baron de GiiiFENREtiTH, MiniSter Palatine of Bavarfa, and the'lmperial Vice-Chancel. for, ConitesLovis DE COBENZEL, have been very frequent of late; although it is probable that many of the points in dispute are .not yet adjusted, yet there is every appearance that the issue of the Negotiations will . be satisfaaory. Even the march of a put of the garrison of U/rr . toviiirdS Ober., bausem, which had given great unibrage to the Em peror, has been formally disavowed by the Court of Munich, and alledged to be in consequence of a mistake.: There are, however, - differences of greater importance to arrange, and some reparations to be' made. Some Newspapers have contradidrd the repart that Tits ESTI put aside his intention of visit. int,?; Covent.Cyarden - Theatre on Thursday, assert ing, that "in put - left plainness His MAJESTY never intimated any such intention." Not to give those Newspapers an answer " in perfea plainness," we shall only say, that they are 7,-2;staken. His M 1 STY ItaLl intimated such an intention, and a Gen.. tleman principally connedA with that Theatre at tended to know if His MAJESTY persevered in that intention, that the requisite arrangements might be made, found ihat the design was laid aside. Whether His MAJESTY :lawny relinquished his intention on the grounds publicly stated, is more than we can presume to say " in perfed plainness." The Marquis of SALISBURY, we understand, lins chiefly contributed to effed that proper regulatin at the Opera-house, by which no Foreigner is to he employed in that concern, in any department that can be filled by a native of Great Britain. The Public must look with increased respect towards that Nobleman fur a regulation peculiarly necessary in the present critical state of affairs, and which does so much honour to his Lordship's parrimic spirit. The Magistrates of Glasgow and Greenock have declared war against the dogs of those places, wilt) are all ordered to confine themselves within doors until the first of February next, under the penalty of being shot. Among the expedients resorted to by Attornies to chastise refraeloy Clients, the following appears to be unique. An Attorney had thought proper to charge his Client 6s. Bd. for each time that lie had taken a dinner with him. The Client retaliated by charging the Attorney for dinner and a horde of .vine at each visit. A dispute arose, but the legal tight at length paid his Client's demand, and immediately preferred informations against hina for rtvithont licence. Thursday morning two Gentlemen Volurateets f of Whitechapel,met to light a duel in the tenter-ground, Goodinan's.fields, in consequence of a quarrel the preceding night, respecting the difference olcountries (the one being an Englishman, and the other a Ger man). They met at twelve o'clock in order to light, but were interrupted by one of the Officers of Lam beth.street coming up at the time they were taking their p:lces, and who stopped their proceedings on that ground by disarming them. Having waited a short time, and until the Officer went out of sight, they were determined to have it out in b!ov..s, and, accordingly they proceeded to Stepney-field, where they fought an hour anti twenty minutes, when vice tory was declared in favour of John Bull. The German was taken home in a co,,ch, and new lies dangerously
