Yesterday Dutch Papers were received to the loth instant. They do not bring any intelligence 'from Paris of a later date than that which we received by the Moniterirs. They give, however, some further details respecting PICHEGRU and GEORGES, pro_ bably extracted from the other French Papers. It is not yet known when the Prisoners are twbe brought to trial, but there can be no doubt that their fate is already determined upon, for the trial by Jury has been suspended for two years, and the Grand Judge has pionounced them guilty. Under Such circumstances, it is absurd to talk •of giving them a fair trial. Yesterday about twelve o'clock, HER MAJESTY and-the PRINCESSES ELIZABETH and MARY, at tendrd by the Countess CARDIGAN, took an airing by Islington and Clayton. Thursday Lord Cr..t v E, late Governor of Madras, and suite, landed, at Northileet, from the Castle Edett i East Indianian, Capi. - Ct.rmiNG. His Lord ship, after taking some refreshment at the India Arms 'Tavern, proceeded to town. Gener,tl Fox arrived at Croydon on Monday. evening, and on Tdesdity Morning he inspe6ted the Croydon Voltinteer Corps of Cavalry and Infantry,. who went through a variety Ornew manceuv . res, in a stile that would have adne honoiir to any veterans, and for which the General paid them many high complimen:s.—He then procee - ded,to Crciydon Barracks, and incpeeted the Royal. Waggon Train, who are stationed there. He then. went .to Oatlands to dine with the D,uti of Yiimc ;in his way he inspected the Mircham, Merton and Tooting Vo lunteer Cor'ps, with whom he expressed himself highly pleased.. Colonel Hti.LAßr's two Battalions of the First Essex Legion Volunteers, and Troops'of attached Cavalry, the whole forming 1039 effective men un der arms, were inspeEted a few days since at Latch. ingdon, in tha i t County. They received the Inspeo- ing Officer, Col.' ADD ENB KOK t, in line, the Caval ry,. Pioneers, .and Blnd of Music, on the right.— After the salute, they marched by both in slow and quick time, when forming in line again, a general salute i:vas given, the whole being executed with the greatest regularity. The ground they took was the commanding eminence near the windmill, and in 'their rear were drawn up 74. waggons, with four horses to each, which brought 'the men. from the most distant divisions ; the whole forming as inte resting a military speCtacle as could possibly have been displayed . on such an occasion. Colonel A. expressed himself to Colonel HILLARY, highly sa tisfi:d with the discipline and soldierly appearance lof his men. • The 4..11 Regiment of Loyal London Volunteers had a field day yesterd a y, on the ground adjacent to Montpellier Gardens, Walworth. They mustered very strong, and executed, under , the command of Major Pktcu., the different evolutions and ma. nwuvres with a precision that was highly honour. able to their subordination and discipline.

He has lett several sums to be devoted to bene. volent purposes.• His servants, although not men tioned ia the Will, his Lordship recommended in a very particular manner to Lord.GRENviLLE, who has undertaken to provide for them. We hear, that it is in the neighbourhood of Berne, in Switzerland, that his Lordship desired his body to be deposited. The Countess of POMFRET, who has recently obtained .a separation from her husband, is highly esteemed for her amiable qualities, and her person is so elegant and interesting, that she might reason. ably have exue6ted every comfort in wedlock, suit. able to her rank, worth, and beauty. THE ORATOR Io.—The sacred music performed at Covent Garden Theatre last night, was the first At of HAyntes sublime composition entitled The Creaticn,avd f-I AN E L's beautiful Serenata Acis and Galatea. At the end of Part the Second, a Con certo on the Grand Piano-Forte was executed with great skill and spirit by Mr. NEATE. Mr. G. ASHLEY led 'the Band very ably, and the whole went off with correaness and grandeur. The Airs in The Counterfeit were composed partly by Mr. KELLY, and partly by Mr. CONDE They are very pretty, elegant, and effe4tive: CHERRY. was received in the most flattering man, ner on Tuesday night, when he first made his ap. . pearance in the new Farce of The Counterfeit, on account of the popularity which has attended hi; - Comedy, of The Soldier's.

A Frigate - was, seen. steering from the, French,land for the Downs this morning, which had the appearance of. being much shattered in her masts and rigging. PLYMOUTH, MARCH I3.—Arrived the French I Sloops La Ro,salie and L'Enterprize, laden. with wine, roiin; and flour, from licittideaux hound to Brest, captured.by the Maly Hired Armed Cutter. We are happy to state from the mouth of an Of ficer lately returned from our Squadron off I.rerrol - , that the strongest inclination appeared on the . part of the Spaniards to cultivate the. r friendship of the Eng. lish, and that the greatest harmony subsisted between the Commodore, Sir EDw. PE LIE vo, and His'Excel lency the 'GovFroor of Ferrol, DON DIEGO CoNTA DORE; an Admiral in their Navy. This Gentleman was Governor of the place when the attempt of Sir JAMES PULTENEY was made upon it. He bath by his exertions caused the neutrality of the Port to be respected by both Nations ; 'and ',what is more re markable, he insisted lately, without any complaint being made to him on the part of the English, on the punishment °la boat's crew belOnging to the French Admiral, which had insulted one of .the Boats of our Squadron.' Every refre'shMent the country afforded was assiduously supplied by his orders ; .and during the anchorage of the Squadron in. At res Bay,. they werr . consiantly,attended by Lieute nant-Colonel DON JUAN BRICRDALE, of the Royal Hibernian Regiment, tinder whose direCtions every communication - With the shore was-regubted. The' appointment ofthis`officer to this service,was a par,_, ; ticular mark of favour from ; the Governor, being a descendant of •an English Tatnily, a Nephew of , MATTHEW Ba JCIthAL E, Esq. Member tor Bristol.- To the, urbanity of this Gentleman every Officer of the' Squadron bears the fullest testimony, and from the uncommon civility and at_ tention shewn by him to all ranks and Orders of the English, he will otter be remembered with esteem.

YARMOUTH, MAttcH 12.-The PrinceSSOflcideS cutter, commanded by Lieutenant Ron eRT CAME- Row, arrived in the Rdads yesterday afternoon, with dispatches from that gallant, generous, and enter. prizing Commander, Sir SIDNEY SMITH, after a run of eleven hours from Flushing, where she left the Comtnodnre, who is not content with blockading ports in the common kind of way, but has adually moored his own Ship the Antelope, :Crescent and Magicienne, at the motith of the Metloo, which has effectually stopt up that passage to Flushing; the Cruizer.

Roads -to the amount of sixty or seventy sail, as follows : One Frigate, r 5 schooners, the rest Scuyts and ~ paltry things with one mast. SIr.SIDNEY is indefatigable, seldom goes to bed till four or five in the morning ; and as he has so completely hemmed them in, will no doubt crush them (which is his general term) before . he sees England. The Princess of Wales is the Cutter which led the vessels through the Wutlings into their an chorage ; the pilots, and to their shame be it said, gave up their charge : that vessel, and the Favorite have: been very . actively employed in rconnni tring and sounding between Cad Sand and .Flush ing, at times within pistol shot of the batteriesovhich have never fired since the first day, and then it is be lieved not with the intention ; of their shot having e fF e d : the flotilla appear panic-struck ; for when the two cutters were taking a peep at them, within al— most gun-shot, and close under the batteries, they only sent five of their gallant squad to cline them ; two large armed schooners and. three gran-vessels the cutters immediately hove to for them, which they observed, and not thinking it safe to trust themselves tco near our jacks, ran into their nest again. The Princess of Wales mounts ten guns, and the Favourite eight ; and at this time not one of the squadron in sight except the Rattler, who was lying at an anchor about five miles to 'leeward.— When our tars can do this iti the face of the enemy, and in their own harbours, what have Englishmen to fear from Invasion ? - Captain BISSELL, who so gallantly concluded himself in different actions in die West Indies on board Hii Majesty' s Sloop I?eco,, has been pro moted ri. to the rank of Post Captain by the Lords of the Admiralty.
