THIS morning the Gentlemen who had given in Lists for tile L 'an waited upon Mr. ADDI NSTON, when it being found that the biddings of the two Lists of Sir F. BARING, ANG AST'S IN, ROB ARTS, and GO LDSMIDS were the same, the Loan was .contraaed for by those two parties jointly. The biddings were upon the 3 per Cent.

THE Gazette of Saturday contains the Official Account of the recapture of Gorei, and also s..me further details of the proceedings of the Army un- Ider General WELLESLEY, in India, which have al. ready a l peared in our. Paper. It was generally un. derstood when the last Dispatches came away, that , NegotiAtions for Peace had commenced, and there can be little doubt of their having termi. nated favourably, as all further resistance on the part of SCINDIAU, must be evidently fruitless. The Marquis of WELLESLEY has transmitted to Go. vernment a long account, which is said to consist of several hundred folio pages, of the causes and object of the War in India ; and we have very little doubt but that the cause will be found to be as jus. tifLible as the result hag been glorious. A Leyden Gazette of the a4th inst. has been re ceived, which brings the Paris news to the 17th. A very considerable degree of discontent appears to prevail in Paris, in consequence of 'the murder of the Duke D!ENcHIEN and General PICHEGRU. The Governor of Paris, General MuRAT, has pub_ lished an address to the General Officers and Subal terns of the Garrison and National Guard, in which he requests them to etilighten the minds of the Citi_ zens,whenever they find them misled by false reports; and he seems particularly anxious to corral an opinion which seems to be very prevalent in Paris, viz. that the death of Gen. PiCiltORU was, not the result of suicide. He states, that all the arrests that have taken place since that of General MortEntr, have tended to confirm his guilt.—Some alarm appears to have been excited by the appearance of the Stone Expedition off Boulogne. They were perfealv ap prized of the inten►ion of sinking the Stone Ships at the mouth of their Harbours. The Funds are 54. 60. The Debate upon the Marquis Of STAFFORD'S Motion, which comes on this day in the House of Lords, will, we have no doubt, be most interesr ing, as a greater attendance of . Peers is expetied than.has been known for .1 - 11ny years. On Saturday .morning fits MAJESTY. gave att. dieeCei to the .I.;;RD CHANCELLOR and Mr. AD- Di NGTO N.

A‘AYAL NEWS. From the LONDON GAZETTE, Atril4B. Dawairrg-street, April 27, 1804. A Dispatch, of which the following is a copy, was this day received by the Right Hon.

I beg leave to acquaint your Lordship with the recapture of the Island of Goree, and I have the honour to inclose you the Articles of Capitulation. I have appointed Capt. William Murray, the Se. nior Officer of the African Corps, Commandant of Goree, until His Majesty's pleasure is known ; and as I had not any direetions relative to the cargo •of the Eagle, Store.ship, I took the liberty to open the letter addressed to Colonel Fraser, from your Lordship, and have given it to Capt. Murray, and ordered him to follow; as close as possible, the di. reClions contained therein, The very ample supply of stores and provisions this vessel appears to have brought out; and the great strength of the Garrison at present, enables me to assure your LOrdship of its perfel security. • Mr. Charles Pickford, my First Lieutenant, 'an, intelligent and deserving Officer, and whom I (leg leave to recommend to your Lordship, will have the honour of presenting this letter. He will be able to inform you very fully of every particular re lative to Goiee and its Dependencies. I hope the arrangement I have made will meet your Lordship's approbation.

Edward Sterling Dickson, Commander of His Majesty's Ship the Incokstaia, to William Marsden, Es7.dated at Gone, the sth March, 1804. sllt, I have the Honour to acquaint you, fOr the in. formation of my Lords Commiisioners .of the Ad, miralty, of the arrival of His Majesty's Ship under my command, and the Vessels named in the Margin* off the Island of Goree, .on the morning of the 7th of March : but; conceiving it possible•that'it rtiight he in the possession of the. Enemy (although English - Colours were hoisted on the Citadel, and Sentinels clothed in red placed on the different Batteries), I brought to with the Convoy, and direfted 'Mr. Charles Bickford, my First Lieutenant, to proceed on shore in the Cutter, and if he found it in the hands of the English, to make the signal I established for that purpose. At sun-set, nut any signal havingbeen made, nor the appearance of the BOAC, I carne• to anchor with the Convoy atlittle out of gun shot ; and deeming it highly necessary to gain some infer. mation withrespeCt to the situation of the Garrison, I ordered, at ten o'clock, P. M. three Boats, manned and armed, under the direaion of Mr. Rud ciman, Midshipman, to proceed into the Harbour, and cut out any of the Vessels he could find, which he did in a gallant manner, by bringing out a Ship, under a heavy fire from the Batteries, which sunk out Cutter, and wounded one man. From heir I learned, that the French had been in possessiou of Goree since the iBth of January, and that they had three hundred White and Black Troops in the Gar. risun. On the Bth instant, at daylight, I weighed and stood to the Westward of the Island, to prevent any ' succours being thrown in by Sea from Senegal ; and, on the evening of the same day, being deter. mined to attack it, having ordered scaling-ladders to be made for that purpose, at nine P. M. anchored, and ordered all the Boats of the Convoy to be sent on board. the Inconstant, "and after embarking as many Troops as they could possibly stow,. I fOnnd they would not carry a sufficient number to promise success ; I therefore postponed the Attack until the arrival of one of our Convoy, which was in sight, standing into the Biy, as her three Boats could carry from thirty to forty more men ; at daylight in the morning of the 9th instant, we were agrecably.sur. prised by seeing the English Colours hoisted over the French, and shortly after I received informs. tion from Lieut. Pickford, that the Garrison had capitulated with him ; I instantly stood into the Harbour with the Convoy, anchored, and disem barked the Troops. Conceiving it of importance that His Majesty's Ministers sVnild be made ac. or:tinted as soon as possible wi t h t he ke.capru re of this Island, I have purchased a small Brig, and sent my First Lieutenant, Mr. Charles Pickford, an in. " telligent and deserving Officer, ; ,to England, who• have. the Honour to present my Dispatches ; and I beg kave to tecgmmend him in the strongest manner to their Lordship? favour, I have appCitited Captain William Murray, Se rior 04ct-r of the Troops, to. he Commandant of Goree till His Majesty's pleasure is •known, .and .Mr ‘l.'"illiani Arnold; Master's Matz, to be Lieure.

'I - he' moment I can get a sufficient Furl)Ty °I ".3. ter and provisions landed, and put the Island i' t° proper state of defence, I s h a ll procee d and p u t their Lordship' orders into execution. I cannot conclude my Letter without ssuril their Lordships, that the greatest cordiality ex iste d between the Officers, Seamen, and Soldiers, ani had an Attack been found necessary, from the hall°. some manner they volunteered their services, I a ril persuaded they would have done honour to their Country.
