Arrangement for a*Cabinet hot , yet obmpletecl. We believe that Lord fl DART and Lord CHARLU SrE NC ER will hold situations in the new Administration. The appointments of First Lord of the Admiralty arid War Minister are not yet finally settled, but it is supposed that . Earl Sl. VttrottaT will fill the first of these two situations. It has been whispered that Mr. BRAGGE, the Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means, was thought of to fill the Chair tf the House of Commons, hut that he de. dined it. The repbrt is very probable, from the useful and able manner in which he has dis aarged the duties of his present situation, and the qualifications for that high office which he is known to possesi. This we say without any disparagement to the respedable Character who Vitas been the choice of the mouse. We are happy to add, that it is generally un derstood that Lord CUATHAM will continue in Met . I 4 MAJastv yesterday held a Court for the Nobility at St, James's Palace.

She ran on board the latter in a fog, and carried away her foremast, bowsprit and main-top.mast, and arrived here with jury ones fixed.

Sir THOMAS TROUBRI'DOE is to he one o the Lords of the Admiralty ; and it is said, Cap_ rain GREY, Brother to Mr. GREY, is to be the other, in the room of Admirals YOUNG and MANN, who both retire. • 'By Letters from on board the immoeta/;te Frigate, it appears that on the 26th ultimo, upon the clearing up of a fog; while' her boat was in the •aa of boarding the S;Mill Taylor, she found herself in the midst of the.Fiench SquadrOn under Admiral GANTHEALTIstr, CbtlsiSting of Five Sail of the Line, and two Frigates ; None of the Enemy's Ships shewed any dispoSition to attack the Iwitortaliti. They seemed, indeed, to have, suffered very severely by the teMpestuoLis wea- - ther whibli had taken place a few days before.---; One or two of them had lost their top-masts; an& they 'seemed- otherwise much' damaged. They were steering large fgt. the Mediterranean. On the Ist instant, however, they were' again seen off Cape Finisterre, by the liarniltolt, of London, JoHN HYNDm4N, master,- 'bound•to New Provi deuce. It seems. probable, that the French Squadron were waiting off Caue Finisterre in the expeaation of being joined by some Ships from Ferrol. The Immortal;tl was immediately to sail for Gibraltar with the intelligence of this Squadron, and no doubt was entertained of her getting there before it. This being the day appointed for the obser vance of a General k ass and humiliation to Al mighty God, the ROYAL FAMILY attended Dime Service at the Chapel Royal, and the Lords Spiritual and Temporal also heard Ser.

The Patent, appointing Sir Jouw Mt:rFoaD, Speaker of the House of . Commons, was yesterday signed by His MAJESTY : The Right Hon.

A 'Council was yesterday held at Lord GREN vii,LE,'S Office, at which the Duke of PORTLAND, Earl.SpEncsa, Lord GRENVILLE, Mre PPIT, and Mr, Dumms j were present. Mr. WII.LIAM DUNDAS is spoken of for One of the new Secretaries of the Treasury. This Gentleman is Nephew to the Right Hon, lIE MK Y DuNnAs. Mr. PITT has the merit of having made the business of Finance much easier to his Successors in office than he,himself found it. The admirable System which he has established, and by which he retrieved the Credit of the Nation at its first establishment; will probably be pursued for ages with a religious veneration, as the best and most efficacious of any that human wisdom could de vist. Several of the mast distinguished Members of the late Administration recite from official situa tion, at least as poor as when they came in— Mr, PITT and Lot•lGiErtvit.La we understand have already given orders for the reduaion of their respeaive establishments.

OUR Readers will doubtless conceive that we perform our duty more faithfully by presenting them with the. following Letter from Christian sdnd, dated on the 2.3 d ult. on which. we.ein rely, than by amusing them with speculations; or with fads of kesi authority. " IT is now - certain, that the !Treaty for the Armed Neutrality - has. been signed between Rug silk Sweden, and Dentilark. Prussia has merely acceded to it without entering into any other en. gagements. in consequence of this Treety, Swe den is arming. Seven .Ships of the Line, Three Frigates, and a great number of Gunboats, which are to be employed for the defence of its Coasts, apd , in particular for that of the entry into the Sound. As .soon as the season will per. . mit, a Camp of 12,000 men will be formed, in Scania. It is 00 .be commanded by Baron General • TOLL, and .by the two l.iieutenant-Generals Baron de WR E E and Baron Slt DE RSTR OM. These three General Qflicers aie the only ones spoken of'. Several Regiments have ,received orders to hold themselves in readiness, and orders have also been dispatched to. the great and. the lesser Fleet. Although these preparations seem • -to indicate a certainty of War with England, the disposition to negotiate remains ; but the, situation of Russia And England makes us apprehensive. that this rupture is inevitable, and S..vetien and Den mark will follow the. fate of Russia. "The Stipulation in the Treaty, only requires Russia to furnish Fifteen Ships, .hut she is arming from Twenty:.five to Thirty. The united force of the three Powers of the North in the Baltic, will be from Forty-five to Fifty Ships, Thirty of which are to form the Naval Army of the CO4- iitiOn ; but it is. well 'known, what a Coalition must be between three Powers who mistrust and detest one another. It is not by .the extent of our Arms that we shall annoy. England . ; but it is her Commerce which we shall injure, by shutting up the Baltic against her. Sweden can get nothing but dry blows, and can do no mischief to Eng: land, while she exposes herself to the risk of losing 200 Merchant Ships now at Sea,: and , of which too are already in the British Ports.— Russia subsidizes es, bat to what extent is not publicly known i it is also believed that she sub.. sidizes' Denmark, though there has been some misunderstanding between the two Powers, owing to the latter having refused to sign, unless on certain terms, to which'Ressia would not accede. The Danish Ministet had even received orders to quit the Court, but the affair has since been set tled. 'The .tectipc of a Subsidy does,: indeed, render us, insome degree, .dependant upon Rus sia '; but the necessity of providing ourselves with Corn, which could only be obtained by these means, left us no alternative."
