Letters from Holland state that several small Squadrons are getting ready in the Ports of the Batavian Republic, in order to proceed to take possession of the Dutch Colonies in the East and West Indies, immediately after the conclusion of the Definitive Treaty of Peace with England. In the mean time the Government is oc cupied in augmenting the Corps destined principally for Batavia ; and orders arc given to recruit as many foreign soldiers as possible for this distant service. The same communications inform us, that the English Cruilers in the North Sea, and on the coasts of the Batavian Republic, will continue on their respelive stations until the French Cruizers in those quarters shall have returned to France.-- 1 On the other hand the ninety-four Gunboats in tended for protetting the mouths of rivers, and the entrances of harbours, are to be totally dis,_ armed, in consequence of orders from the Minister of Marine. BOULOGNt, OM 13.--.-To-day for the first time since '793, has the English Flag been displayed in our Harbour, and its arrival renders this a day of joy to us. An English Brig of zoo tons, on her passage to Calais, has been driven in here by the Easterly winds. She had on board 100 French Prisoners ; who landed amidst the general acclama tions and repeated tries of " Vive La Republique ! hive Bonaparte !" Language cannot describe the j oy manifested by those brave men on re-visiting their native Conn try, But what se em e d most to astonish them, and Vartieuiarly such of them as are natives of Boulo g ne, were the vast works construaed in our Ports within the last six months, and for which we are indebted , to the restorative genius of the 1-Tero of France. Tot COROLVATION OF THE EMPEROR ALEXANDER.. alTnt Ceremony of the young Emperor's corona.' . Lion has been particalarly grand, so much so in ;aft ; that T feel recompensed by the sight, for the very - comfortless_ _journey of twciethousand miles, which 1 encountered in order to be present - at it. 1 The Emperor arrived at hiS PalaCe in the Suburbs, 1 'rt the 2zdy where he continued to reside till the 17th ; during the interim however ; he frequently visited the city in private. On the m orn i ng o f S un day he made his public entry—the procession was led by the Heralds, and the Grand Duke's Re giment of Cavalry; to these succeeded a long line - of empty carriages belonging to the Nobility ; a regiment of Hussars, richly dressed ) well mount 7u, and in all respeas the finest Corps I ever saw, °Howed ; and then the Nobility in their carriages °I state, the Grand Chamberlains, and all the su perior officers of the GoVernment. The equipages were most magnificent ; the carriages in general Were drawn by six horses, and attended by eight servants in the richest liveries. The Empress Dowager, in her 'state carriage, tame next ; then the present Empress (a most lovely *roman) ; and then the Sisters of the Emperor, fol lowed by another Regiment of Hussars, caparisoned as the former. Next in succession came the gmperor., mounted ‘; 1 O a fine English horse, with the Grand Duke rid ,. Ing on his right, and a vast body of Guards closed the procession. The Church ceremony commenced by the Arch bishop PLAToN consecrating the crown, &c. At nine o'clock the Etnpress.mother entered the Ca , - Thedral under a salute of cannon and a .feu-dc.joye-, e nd took her sear, which was prepared on the left and of the throne—the Emperor and Empress fol 'ed, and then the Nobility of both sexes, who, most superbly tir4ed, were seated on each side of the Cathedral : the centre was occupied by those if the first class. Use prayers were performed by the Archbishop PLATON, irSSitited by the Bishops, whose dress was uncommonly magnificent ; the ceremonies, music, &c. engaged a considerable time, anti after a ser- Trion suited to the occasion, two Bishops advanced with the crown, and, under a salute of cannon, placed it on the head of the Emperor. The scene Was grand and imnrcssive, beyond the power of description. . The Emperor then placed a crown of the most exquisite workmanship on the Ethpress's head, dicharges of artillery giving weight to the solemnity. After the ceremonies of the Church were over, their 11,Li as ri cs walked round the Kremlin, under canopy of gold and silver, and proceeded to the I lan to l' d l inner. The Cathedral is small, but the ceremony was ill 4 hacied with singular precision. The 'English .''ltle. ° lnen, of whom seventeen were present, had ; e ats assigned them, and, to avoid confusion, 'were, ith all the other spedators, except such as formed th e t' proce s sion, obliged to attetal at seven o'clock i 4 the morning. The ill u minations of the City continued for three n ights. The Kremlin is particularly adapted for I lleh a n exhibition, and was uncommonly brilliant. The English and other strangers were presented t .? their Majesties on Tuesday, and in the evening 'nere was a splendid ball at Court. Tiv rejoicings are enthusiastic. To-day a fete to be given to the populace—a large field is in_ c `c ) sed, and 'tables placed' for the accommodation of t n my thou san d s , an d a p ro f us i on o f wines and viands .re prepared, with a variety of amusements.

Covens-CaYdenl Tx ts Theatre was indebted to the new Comedy of Folly as it flies for a numerous Audience on Sa turday last, and the Audience were indebted to the Comedy for a considerable share of entertainment. The Author has so happily adapted the characters to the Performers, and the latter are so auive in their zeal to support the Piece, that it is nut sur. prizing to find,it so attrativc and so amusing. LEWIS and , MUNDEN are certainly t h e ma in prop of this Drama, at least of the Comic part of it. Miss MUttRAY appears to peculiar advantage She contrives with great skill to. chew the languor of self-reproach in Lady Melmoth, under all the fashion able gaiety of the pat t; and, in her avowed repen_ tance of her extravagance and dissipation, she dis plays true pathos, and powerfully appeals to the feelings. The exchange of the watcher, in order to - relieve the distresses of the heroine, though less exception able titan on the 'first night, ought to be omitted entirely, as it debases the dignity of dramatic woes, and partakes too much of the vulgar pathos of the German School. • In the Afterpiece of Paid and Virginia, the part of Alhambra was performed by Miss Sims,. instead of Mrs. MILLS, but in such a mariner that the lat ter had full reason to exult in the test of corupariton. SOUTHAMPTON, Nov. z. THIS evening, during divine service at St. Ma ry's, in this town, a dreadful fire broke out at the Deanery, which was entirely burned to the ground : so rapid were the flames, that no possible assistave, could preserve the mansion, which had recently been repaired and painted for the residence of Dr. NORTH ; who was called out of church, where he had staid to christen a child. This accident is attributed to the fires made in the chambers, to air the house for the reception of the family. Luckily a fed , chairs were almost the whole of the furniture which had been put into the house. An amazing concourse of spetlators witnessed the awful .spectacle ; but not one engine arrived in time to be of service, so general and rapid was the conflagration. Mrs. BILLINGTON is perfefily reCoveted-, and will be able to resume her professional exertions in all their usual excellence. It is difficult to imagine a more accommodating spirit than is implied in the declaration of Cursitor, one of the characters in the new Comedy, who, wishing to avoid a duel, says, that he had a&ed very fairly by his opponent, for he was ready " to make an apology or take one." This prudential principle is likely to possess as grecit , -airtue in matters of hostility ) as SHAKESPEARE attributes to an if. It is to he hoped that the Drurv.lane Managers and Mr. KEMB LE Will amicably settle their present differences. Matters, we understand, are in train for that purpose, as well as for the return of Mrs. SInDONS to co-operate with her Brother in reviving the dignity of the Tragic Muse. It has been observed that the robbers of the dead, who have lately excited so much noise in a neighbouring village, were perhaps under the in fluence of an Egyptian taite for Mummies ) and if so, instead of being punished for pillage, ought to be honoured with the title of the Deptford The Peace has occasioned such differences and such harmony of opinions, as perhaps were hardly ever excited by a similar measure. But among all the wonders of the Peace, it is most singular that Mr. Wi NDFIANt and TONI PAINE should concur in condemning it, as it is impossible to imagine any thing more adverse than the charalers of both, who are indeed " far as the poles asunder." We ought, however, even in noticing this surprizing coinci dence, to apologize for having joined the name of a distinguished and respe&able British Senator, with such an execrable outcast, the refuse of his own Country and the scorn of every other. On Wednesday last, as Lady GEORGi CAVEN- Disn was returning to town from Eastbourne, - in Sussex, her Ladyship was taken ill at Uckfield; as sistance being at hand, her Ladyship was removed to the house of a neighbouring Surgeon, and was there safely delivered of ; Son. On Tueslay last, at Latliom House in• Lanca shire, the Lady of EAtYARA WILBRAHAM BOOTLE, Esq. M. P. was safely delivered of a Son. Saturday morning, about one o'clock, a luminous meteor wag observed at Chelsea, which rose in the West, and emitted so splendid an azure light for about a minute, that the smallest print could be read by it ; it then took a South-East dire Lion, when it divided into smali bails or globes,. and in_ stantly disappeared without any explosion.

WEST LVD lES . - KINGSTON, JAMAICA, SEVT. 7. " On Thursday last a Court' Martial applied for by Captain Plampin, assembled on board His Ma_ jesty's Ship Abergavennv, which continued until Friday, for the purpose of enquiring into the loss of His Majesty's Ship Loq.usstofe, and into the con_ duet of Capt. Plampin, as to the charge of the Con voy, and respeding the loss of the Ships mentioned in a former Paper. The Court received the evidence of Captains BrOwn, Warden, Watt, and Melville, who attended upon notice for the purpose, and upon mature consideration, was of opiniou , ,' that the con_ dud of Capt. Plampin was judiCiOus in every re, sped, and that but for the sudden 'Change of the current after dark, the whOle.of the : Convoy would have proceeded in safety through the -pa.!sage-, and they fully acquitted Capt. Pia*viii, his Officers, and Ship's Company, of all blame in respect: of the loss of the Lowestoffe, or the Ships under convoy. SEPT. i 1.-It was His Majesty !s .

He was sentenced to receive Twenty-five lashes at the Beef Market this present morning. ST. JAGO DE LA. VEGA, SEPT. S. Thursday afternoon during a heavy shower of rain, a severe flash cf lightning struck the storehouse on Dawkins's Caymanas, and tore off a great part of the shingling on one of the ships ; five horses and two mules, in a stable adjoining the stores and separated from it by a brick wall, through which the lightning penetrated, were also struck, and re mained for a few minutes, in a state apparently dead, but afterwards recovered•. The lightning was accompanied by, and left behind ir, a strong sulphureous smell. A: - steer was also killed by the lightning, an the adjoining property farm. Thursday morning a negro woman was deliver ed in this town of three fine children, all males, and who are all likely to live. A similar circum stance, we are informed; happened sonic time ago at Salt river, and the children . are also all alive. SEPT. I 2.—On Wednesday last as Mr. M'lntosh, Overseer of Seven Plantations Estate ; in Clarendon, was passing the Dry River which runs between the works and the cane pieces, the river came suddenly down, and, unfortunately carried -him and his hor4c away ; the horse, we hear, 11.:13 since been found, but we arc sorry to say that Mr. IVPlntush is still missing. The average Price of Sugar, computed from the returns mule for the week ending the zBtliday of Oaober ISo z, is / 7 0;1 . p-seven//iiiss and Three. Pence Halfpenny per hundred weight. Some days since as Mr. Shortpeter of Trtboul, near St. Germain's, Cornwall, was arranging some papers in his bureau, where a loaded pistol and seven pounds of powder had been imprudently placed, he by some accident struck the trigger, and the pistol and powder exploded, blowing the house nearly to pieces. Mr. Shortpeter was much burnt, and for some time remained apparently dead, but is recover ing. Most of the family were out walking, but of the servants about the house providentially none were hurt. Two vagrants have been committed to Stamford Gaol, who went about the country begging with forged certificates, of their having lately lost twelve horses, eighty-five sheep, and two cows. They had colleded 1661.. rss. 7d. from the credulity of the people. A pedlar named Franks was last week fined los. by the Mayor of Exeter (being his first offence), for travelling with his cart and horses through that city on the preceding Sunday. There was a serious riot at Liverpool on Wednes_ dny, when a number of Sailors resisting the reduc tion of wages, threw a man who accepted it into a dock, where he was nearly killed. Six of the Mu_ tineers have been lodged in gaol, and col. has been offered by the Corporation . for the apprehension of their fingfeadcr.. PUBL C..b.P.PICE, BO 11 7 . TPEET. LATE last .14 4 riday. evening Rolk;ri Jferrrnq, anj Mau, his wife, were befbre NICIIOI,Aj BOND, Esq._ and Sir• AM i'AusoNs, eilared with keeping an ill-governed, di;,orderly house (.4: - ill. fame; in Denmark -court, in the Strand. A number' of witnesses proved the ill governed stare of the house ;. that a ntumber of prostittiteS went in and out of the house, and men with them, &c. The warrant that was issued authorised the officer to trke., into his custody disorderly persons ; he therefore app prehcnded six girls in the Louse. On the girls being placed at the bar,one of them in a very fewminutes felt down in a fir, and a gentleman who,haprmed to - be iri the office accounted for ir, by saying she had just caught his eye; that he knew her extremely ,veil ; that her parents and friends were respectable people. She had left them about a month since, and they had never been able to learn any tidings of her. On, her coming to herself, she. promised to return to her friends, -and she was delivered into the care of the Gentleman: It came out in , the examination of the girls, that the Prisoners received part of the money which they got for their prostitution. The Prisoners were ordered to find bail, them,- selves in tool. and two sureties in vol. each ; and the Constable of the Parish, and Parish-Officers, were bound over to prosecute at the next Westinin„. ster Sessions. The Book-keeper of the White-hart Inn, in the Borough, was charged, under the Porters' Aft of Parliament, with improper behaviour at Mr. Crow . - titer's, in the Haymarket, on Thursday evening. The Prosecutor stated, that on Thursday evening the Prisoner came to .his house with two parcels, one directed to his house, and the other to be left till called for. A dispute arising about the charge, the Prisoner made use of the most abusive language, called - , him a blackguard, swore several oaths at him, and behaved in a very riotous manner. On his going to take the number of his cart, he attempt. ed to blow the candle out. The Prisoner stated in his defence, that having learned that the porters frequently ha 4 disputes with the Prosteutor, who has a great number of parcels from the country, he confessed that he had volun teered himself that evening to go out with the.par eels in the cart, for the purpose of insulting the Pro secutor. This condu6t, the Magistrates reprobated in the strongest terms, as they did the insolence of Book-keepers in . general, and observed, that he was not content with sheaving his insolence in his office, but must sally forth to: Insult the Public at their own houses ; they therefore convicted him, in the full penalty that the Mt of Parliament would of twenty shillings, and ten shillings costs. jam Rutledge, a boy about twelve years of age; was charged with feloniously stealing two valuable parcels in Mr. Hatchet's warehouse, at the WhiteL Horse Cellar, Piccadilly. The Warehouse-keeper stated, that about eight o'clock that evening, the Prisoner and three other boys came to enquire the time the Brentford and Newbury coaches went off ; they went away, and came a second time ; soon after they were gone, he went into the- warehouses where the' parcels are kept, and found the Prisoners concealed, and two parcels removed from the place he left them in. He was committed fo'r further examination. On . Saturday evening William Everard St, Ledger, a German, was brought before - GRA HAN", Esq. the Siting Magistrate, in the. - custody of Townsend, the Officer, who apprehended him -that evening at his apartments in the Westminster-road, Lambeth by virtue of a Warrant from Mr. FORD, charging him with challenging to fight Charles Lullin, one of the Clerks in the Alien Office. Mr. Lullin attended, and stated, that the Pri_ sober had, for these several weeks been making ap plications at the Alien Office for a Pass to go to France ; that he repeatedly told him. he could not have one; that he would not be satisfied, and -at , length demanded one, saying, if he did not rece;v-, it, he would apply to his Ambassador, Count Sta remberg, for proteftion ; the Prisoner not taking an answer, he had several disputes with him, and on Saturday about ope o'clock, the Prisoner came to the Office to demand a Pass to-go to France, when he informed him on account of the imprud.mt letter he had sent to Lord Pelham, on Friday, he .should not have it, but if he called in the course of next week, he would be indulged with a Pass to .go to Hamburgh ; another dispute now arose, and the Prisoner left the Office extremely angry, and threat ening the Prosecutor. James Walsh, the King's Messenger, said he w4s at the Alien office at the time the Prisoner was there, and described a variety of conversation that passed between him and the Prosecutor ; when the Prisoner left the office, he held up his stick in a threatening manner, saying the Prosecutor was a coward, and he would have satisfaction of him. The Prisoner in. his defence said, it was of .the utmost importance to him that he should go to France, • and he thought by peace being made with the French Republic he had a right to a pass, or he should not have ailed in the manner had done.— The words he acknowledged to have used when he was leaving the office on Saturday, were, " If yoit are a man of courage you will give me satisfaCtion ;" upon which the Magistrate observed, that these words spoken to a person holding a situation such as the Prosecutor's, he considered as a challenge, al though he should not have so considered them, if they had been spoken to him when cut of his official duty. He was only ading ministerially, and it was not in his power to grain passes, without the permission of the Secretary of State : he should therefore call upon him for _sureties to keep the peace, unless he could make satisfaaion by wav of apology to the Prosecutor. The Prisoner offered to make every possible atonement for his misbehaviour to the Prosecutor and Lord . Pelham, as he said, if he was kept in this Country upon bail, it would be the total ruin of him. At length, it was agreed, he should remain in custody of Mr. Walsh, who ;:poke in the highest possible terms of him, when he was in his custody as an alien, except as to his being of a very irritable and warm temper. On Thursday afternoon, a gcntleman from Sheet* ness had his pocket picked in the Park,,while 116 MA J tisa Y was going in state to the House of Peers, of notes to the amount of Baol, .
