Ann., - 5715 LONDOAr, THURSDAY, NOV EMU 1t zz, u804.# We arc enabled to state, upon the most undoubt. ed authority, that Parliament, will be further pro., togued to Tuesday- the r,stitof January, when it will certainly meet for the dispatch of business. It was very desirable that Prrliatnent should not meet on the day to which it is now prorogued, avit vsimld bring Gentlemen from the Country at a time which is generally devoted to the duties' 61 - hoipit:i. lity and benevolence ; and we are happy to find .that the public service will not suffer , any in. convenience from this further postponement. It is most probable that many questions of gm; importance will be brought forward as soon as Parliament meets : it is therefore very desirable that there should be as full an attendance of Mein. bets as possible; and this consideration . NO, we have no doubt, great weight in inducing Ministers to recommend the-further Prorogation to the isth. A report was confidently circulated yesterday in the higher political circles, stating, that Ifis Hog. nest the Pop e had escaped from the French guards who were to assist in convoying him to France, and had safely reached Civita recthia, from whence he had departed ti)r Malta. ' It is very probable, indeed, notwithstanding all that has Iren said of the readiness of the Holy Fa.: then to assist in the Coronation of LIONAPARTR, that he was by no means willing to pollute. his sa. cred charaCter by consecrating an Atheistical Usurper, and it is probable also dia . ( the French Troops, who, in pretended reverence ,to His Ihalinese, were' to attend him on his journey to France, were in reality nothing but bands of tary ruffians, who might.hc conaidcred merely Ali his gaolers. It would therefore not tArti , onderliil if this extraordinary report were welif o 4ded) and that the kle:ul of the Papal Church thought himself more secure in the hands of British :lleritics than ire , • " thcise of a Bloody and hypocritical : Apostate, who has derided all Religion,• Ws have the . strongest reason to beliel;e - th4t the Negotiations between this Count r y and Spain are brought to a conclusion, and that Hostilities will take phce. Mr. FRVit E t the British Minister to the SpAnish Court, wrote to Admiral CocHaANs, who' commands the Blockading Squadron off F.er. rol, to acquaint him that he had received his Passports, and that be .shmild Madrid o n th totb mnut. From this circumstance we have no doubt that a War between the two Countries is inevitable, although we find upon inquiry, that Government have not received any Dispatches from Mr. Fa ERE, stating that the Negotiation is brokLn off. Sir HOME POPHAM, in the absence of Admiral 1.,t , ut , , commands on the Dungeness Station. Not mere' than half a dozen Luggers have at one tittle been oOtside Boulogne Harbour the whole of the late fthe weather and easterly winds, Our Portsot,uth Letter of this morning gives a melancholy detail of the loss of a Vessel from Gibralvtr, near the entrance of Chichester har bour. Eirery precaution, however, appears to have been taken to prevent any communication with the survivors of the unfortunate Passengers and Crew, who have been put on board another Vessel, for the purpose of being brought, to Standgste Creek to petlOrm quarantine. Several persons who had had communication with the survivors have also been put under quarantine in Chichester harbour. fly a Dutch Pater received this morning, we learn, that previousto General BRUNE, the French Amb,uifiador, quitting Constantinople, on the 12111 oa,ber, the GkAND St lONIon catbed a declaration to be uhuir to the General, that, by virtue of Conventi,xi concluded between him and the EM. Ell.olt Rossi/ 4 he could enter into no Nego. t t ion w !II the Emperor. NAr o EON. For the re the.l\lioisters of the Porte assert, that, although War should break out between France and Russia, the Turkish Emperor was cordially dispos, eel to maintain his Neutrality. VI be turd that the littuentiblelituatioo of ilullaud at thk moment will make a due iropreision . t r. them what they are to expelt from French Prater. tion, and its regard for. the Rights of Independent States. The Corsican Usurper does not concern himself with overthrowing the Constitutional Au. thorities ola State, but he must do 'all he can to in. suit the Country, and to oppress its People. The Dutch GOvernment are not permitted to make their own regulations respecting internal and external mea. sures for the safe ty and prospetity of theCoun try; they are merely to acknowledge, to register,'and to obey the commanda' of the Gallic Despot. He had before prohibited British Manufaltures in Holland, and he now absurdly, as well as tyrannically, forbids the introduetioo of Our Colonial produce. But this is not all—the Dutch Government holds its existence at the will of the French Usurper; and his nod is expated every moment to annihilate their autho. rity, and to arrange a new system for the Coun. try, that it may be placed still more securely , under the controul of France. Such must be expeeted by every Country that has not spirit enough to exert itself against French aggression ; and such would assuredly be the state of Gieat Britain, if it were not defended by a living rain. part of Loyalty and Patriotism. .

It was started near the Thg Kennel. At setting off he ran with great speed across the Forest, taking his course towards Bagshor, leaving it to the right, and taking towards Winshad) and Cobham, he continued to run with great speed, and. got into a pond, where two of.,the most fleet, hounds followed him ; but he got out of the water, and escaped from than.

PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 24.—The following very ' melancholy accident happened early yesterday swam i ing : The smack lbrie Sirrfrs, of Penzance, Jossis master, from Gibraltar, was wrecked on the cast end of Hayling Island, near the entrance of Chi. chester w Harbour, and Lieutenant BRTINETT, of the Royal Garrison Battalion, his Lady, a daughter of about z 2 years of age, one about 13, and two in fants, were washed overheard and drowned. The two daughters, and one of the infants, have been washed up at Hayling, and interred. Another Passenger, Mr. LAUKCNCR . CALAHAN, and his wife, the Master, and three of the Crew, were lived. One bf'y of the Vessel was drowned. The Vessel is entirely gone to pieces. It appears that the Passengers hired this little yes. eel (36 tons) at Gibraltar, for s 8o guineas, to bring them to England, to escape the dreadful ravages of the plague, and left that Garrison the 9th ult. ; that she put into,Falmouth, but was obliged to' depart, though in a - leaky state ; thSt she afterwards had a heavy gale of wind off the Lizard, and was driven hack to Penzance, where she lay a fortnight under quarantine, and was then again ordered to Stand. gate., Creek ; and it was in pursuing these orders that she has been lost, and so many of her Passen. gers drowned. The Collator of the Customs at Chichester has put several persons under quarantine, in Chichester Harbour, who have had communication with the sur. vivors ; and the Collator of the Customs of Ports. mouth has this day been to the wreck, secured all the baggage that has been preserved, anti put tl►e Crew and Passengers that are saved into a Vessel of Mr. LIND so it EN'S, for the purpose of carrying them on to Standgate Creek to finish the pethrmance of quarantine.

" I have no doubt but ere this you haVe heard of my being taken prisoner in Hanover, most verely wounded ; a mllsket-ball through the elbow of my right anti, two bayonet wounds in the breast (which had very near done for me), and a slight cut of a sabre in the face. All this was occasioned by a • Boat belonging to the Conitamee Frigate, which, with the Master of that Vessel, was attacked by a bfitly of French Troops, in endeavouring to intercept a Dutch Ship he purened, in execution of an ordei of mine, and from whoin.nci resistance Was expected ; but the Dutchman contriving to run his•vessol on shore, called in French Troops, and obliged the Master of the Constance, after two of his men had been killed, to surrender. One man escaped, and swimming to me at a considerable distance, parted the news. The flond.title WRI just coming on, and night approaching, so th.►t I found no time was to be lost in attempting their rescue. I could see from my mast.heatl.the Dutch Vessel, svith the Constance's Boat lying astern of her, and judged an immediate attempt would enable me to come up with her before they could put the people they 'tad taken on shore ; and at all events, it appeared to me absolutely necessary to use the means I had in my' power for their tedempt ion, and the capture of an Enemy's Vessel, as I considered it would be 'an eternal stain upon my character to have stood by and looked coldly on, without making use of every means in my possession, and which neither time or inture services could liay.e obliterated. I therefore took eleven men in my Boat, end proceeded towards her with every possible dispatch. Having got with. in hail, about eleven at night, I. was called to in French, and as we ' , eared her, perceived that her ,I cc ks were full of toed, A rapid tide was setting t►, right upon the vessel ; to It.►ve attempted a rC. rr-at would have been sacrificing my men to no , r titonse, I therefore -commenced an attack by a brisk fire of musquetry, which was instantly re pendent of their numbers, and vast advantage of the fixed bayonets, which I found too long for the cut. lass, got on board, when a despetate attack took place. Two of my brave followers were killed, and two wounded with myself. I was obliged to submit. The Enemy had taken the precaution to land the Comatance's people, and reinforce themselves with 40 Soldiers, besides a strong detachment on the beach, ready to come off in case of necessity, and' by whom I and my little party were received with every exultation a conquering Enemy could display,. or mortified, wounded, and disappointed English. men, could experience. My loss of blood, with, the severity of my wounds, having near four Eng lish miles to walk before I could come to any place of rest, then to wait several hours ere a Surgeon came to my assistance, may enable you to judge:of my sufferings without further comment. lam now, thank God, in a fair way of recovery, and have obtained permission to return to England ; oft my Parole of Honour, as soon as myhealth wilt admit. I am much indebted to the kindness of. HIRMAN Ha rtaAw, Eq. British Consul at Bremen.
