Ir. has been stated in . several of the Public Papers, Oar Parliament will only meet on the Istli to Vote the 4cidresses, anti that they will then adjourn over . to.. the zia. We are enabled to assert, upon the "Nod gnqueltionahle authority, that this statement is Completely unfounded. Parliament will certainly meet on the isth, and will immediately proceed with business of the greatest importance. Advices, upon which we place the greatest reliance, have been , received, stating, that the French were marching fifty thousand ad. ditional Troops into Holland, on their way►. to Swedish Pomerania, which the Corsican Usurper has absolutely resolved to invade. This intelli gene will account fur the Address which the K t rqc of Sw n t 4 lately made to the States of that Dutchy, and which the danger of French violence ten. tiered absolutely necessary. We repeat our full con• fulence in these adv ices; and this infamous proceeding of the French Tyrant w ill, ,it is to be hoped, be Attended with an important result respehing the' condua of the KING of PRIISBIA, who must hence feel it his duty and his interest to take part with Russia,Great Britain, and the Civilized World, The Hamburgh Mail due on Sunday arrived this morning.

This comes so direaly in she teeth of former well. authenticated accounts, that we must pause before we grant to is full credit, and wait for further in. telligence.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM THY LION • CAPTAIN COLVILLE, ' STATING THE CIRCUMSTANCES AT. TENDING TIME LOSS OF HIS MAJESTY'S SHIP ROMNEY. " Helder (North Holland), Nov. 21. " It is with feelings of the sincerest regret, and which I feel but little capable of expressing, that I sit down to discharge the painful duty of acquaint. ing you with the total loss of His Majesty's Ship the Romney on Mcinday the 19th instant, 'off the Haaks, upon the S. W. part of the Sand, owing to the mistake of the Pilots, although regular sound. ings had been , taken on our run from Yarmouth, whence we sailed at nine A. M. on the preceding day. " I felt confident, a few minutes before the Ship struck, that we were still on the edge of the broad Fourteens, and having then sounded, they proposed standing in, under the sail then set, 'viz. double reefed top-sail, and foretop.mast staysail, •with the wind at S. S. W. until they should be in . ten or eleven fathoms. To this I objeeled, as, from the unsettled appearance of the weather, and the thick. nests oldie fog, I deemed it imprudent to approach the shore, in quest of Rear. Admiral RUSiIL, to whom I was proceeding conformably to my order's. —We were accordingly in the a& of wearing, when a large Ship, apparently at anchor, was discovered through the log bearing E. by N. We then stood tt.ards her, to make her plainly, but had not proceeded on that course (under the above. mentioned sail) mare than four or five minutes, when we perceived her to be a large merchantman on shore. The Pilots then wished to haul off, on the larboard tack, but before the Ship could be brought to the wind, she struck. The wind continued, to increase, the. fog being again very .great, and a heavy sea got up ; the Ship struck so herd as to cause her r, make so much water, that it short time alb hopes of saving her were at an end. There then remained but the hope Of saving to His Majesty's service the Officers and . Crew. In that hope I have, from a combination of unfortunate Circumstance. (and more especially from none of our Cruizers being attracted to us by the guns we had fittd, which I had flattered myself would have bee,► the cast yesterday when the wea. ther was clear), been disappointed. " That every possible exertion was made to lessen the calamity, after having struck, I trust will appear from the Minutes. It will he a great consolation to myself and Officers to know that they have that effed. Under the uneasines s o f mind which the loss of the Ship, I had the honour to core. wand, naturally occasions, I feel some • alkyl. ation in reflecting upon the xealotts, active, anti orderly condwtt of my Officers and Crew, in circtstances the mist trying, and in whiph they endured the severest hardships with cheerfulness, and in perfed reliance on Divine Providence, whose interposition in our behalf was strongly evident. " When the Ship floated a little, she was, by letting go the bower anchor, brought to swing her head to the wind, which enabled her to hold ;age ther, and so bore through the horrors of the night, which we certainly should not otherwise 'we stir. vived. 11 'We have experienced from the Dutch ral Ktxxit RICT, every attention that our distressed situation made so necessary, and which his dispQsi. tion seems incarible of with-holding, even frogs an enemy ; but the wants of my fellOW -SareferB are great, for not an article of clothing or any thing else, was saved by any one from the general wreck. I hope the Dutch Government will be disposed fo alleviate in some degree their wants, in clothing particularly, and I have solicited tl►e assistance of. Rear-Adm. Russs Lt. in obtaining these necessaries. gi I have reason to believe we shall be sent to Amsterdam, until exchanged. " The Crews of the Launch and Jolly.boat,, who had been found to hear op for the TeNel, joined Me here this day. The pup was swamped. along. side ; one Cutter,' in returning from her attempt to bring to our assistance a (3.311i0t who passed us, heedless of our dist ress, was driven among the breakers on the flaalo, and overact. The other Cutter, equally unsuccessful in an attempt to bring to us a SChuyt which was in sight ward, was under the charge of Lientenant BARK s who, unable to regain the Ship, judged it mo st intl— dent to bear up for the Texel, litipe of ob t ai n i,, g ;tsistaice for us, which, : howzirer, the state of die weather. did not allow of bt:ing affOrdekt that hitht.- A Lilt of the oYreets and en too and The Hon.

'foe world cannor'but be struck with the differ.. ence between the conduCt of the KING of SW EDEN. the legitimate descendant of a li ne o f i llustr i ous an. CCstOrS t and that of BoNAPAIttE, an upstart, who has risen by his crimes to the seat of Sovereignty. The former addresses his SubjeCts in the States of Pomerania with dignified condescension, and re. quires supplies chiefly for their own proteCtions against a Power that wishes to overwhelm them at once with ruin. The Corsican Usurper, on the other hand, though the base offspring of obscurity, not, only drains the slaves over whom he tyrannizes, but extends his enormous exactions to other States, to swell the pomp of luxury, and augment the show of vain magnificence. In consequence of a bet of twenty guineas, and a rump and dozen, a young Gentle.nan lately under.. took to run three miles in zo minutes ; namely, on the road from the starting po s t at Tinwald Down Race Course, to the King's Arms Tavern,. Dum fries ; and, to the astonishment of all present, he won his wager in 19 minutes and one quarter ! In the Southern Counties they have already be gun to adopt the use of potatoes in the place 'of wheat ; a substitute which, if adopted in families at an early part of the season, may be an effeetual means of keeping down the price.
