It is added, that with some aid, the destruCtion of the Rebels will he easy, and that their position is very critical. Since they have massacred Americans as well as French, they receive no longer any sup. Maroons, the Mulattoes desert,and many Negroes become Maroons, and take refuge in the Dauble Mornes. The Spaniards have forced the detachments of Des. SALINES to retreat. They write from Brest, that on the night of the tirb Vendemiaire, a fire broke out in a stable ad. joining the Inn called. The Emfierar ; the damage it occasioned was hut trifling. The Soldiers, Seamen, and Inhabitants deserve the highest.praises for their aftivity in affording every necessary assistance as soon as the generde was belt, Fashions, which for several years past have been most abssrdly fickle, inasmuch as they have been no sooner known, than they have been replaced by others, now probably begin to be somewhat mote-durable and at the same time more beautiful. Already every Lody presented at Court must have her dress made of French Manufaaures. Vel. vet and satin ate generally adopted, for the pbrpose of making long trains, fitted to the ends of gowns, beautifully embtoilered, but which are not to exceed four inches in length ; the Prince:&es alone may wear theiii as long as they please. All colours may be warn, hut the most fashionable arc pink, white, green, scarlet, arid the blue lapis. , The colours and embroikries for the male Cos. tume are likewise fixed, after designs of LABEY.

'14.---TO facilitate, by every possible means, the bringing of Grain into Spain, the King has declared, that he charged His Minister at London with particular instructions to request His BRITANNIC MAPisTY to expedite an order to all his Cruizers not to intercept the vessels laden with Grain for the Ports of Spain. Firs BRITAN- Nic IVIAJEsTY has in consequence manifested his favour towards the means , of relief which the King of Spain seeks to procure for his subjeds, by declaring, that all Spanish or neutral Vessels laden with Grain should be considered as neutral property. Mr. COUTTS, we understand, has not received any Letters from France, stating that the English iioners have been ordered into close confinement. They have all beet► ordered to Verdun, except Lord ELGtW.•--The hfortrittg Chroxicle, from which we copied the intelligence yesterday, has contradicted it to.day. We are inclined to think that the Deal Smuggler, which usually carries our, among other precious things, the British Monitthrs, must have met with some accident, otherwise ,the two gallant Com. minders at Boulogne and St. °inert' could not have made so gross a blunsler ;Is to 'have mentioned in their reports any part of the loss sustained on their side, 61 they mast have known, had they waited a little longer, that the-whole experiment had tom. pletebt failed, and t h at there was nothing'to he apprehended Iran Catamarans and Muuse.traps. It has been justly observed, that, in addition to the internal evidence which :hews that the French accounts of the late attack on Bonin rye were written after the patriorkstatetnents of the English Journals, the word ctler is strong presumptive proof, as that word was nor used in England till the issue of the attack was detailed in this Country. His Grace the Duke of.Lsissraa, whose death we mentioned yesterday, expired on .

Yesterday morning ateleven o'clock the six following Volunteer Regiments marched irto Hyde Park, where they were brigaded under the Command of Major. General the Rawl of HARR aNcrrori The,Hon. Artillery Company Vo. lunteers, the 4.th Loyal London, the 7th ditto, the Sth ditto, the 56 ditto, the ad ditto. They form. ed with the right wing towards CuMberland Gate, and the left towards the Serpentine River ; the Hon. Artillery Company with their field-pieces and Sharp Shooters, took the right, and the others, as above set down ; there stoSS-al Company of she First Regi. ment of Life. Guards to keep the ground. The Earl of HattztuoroN, accompanied by. Ge. netals BURRARD and Gtosirect.ott, and several other Military Officers and Gentlemen on horseback, ar. rived a little after. The ground was very much crowded with spectators of all de,criptions ; the fog being so thick that half the length of the Line was not • visible. They commenc-d their different manoeuvres, the Earl of HAERING. TON giving the 'word of command. They per,. formed all the various evolutions in the most soldier. like manner, firing by Wings,. Companies, and Re. giments ; they marched in Regiments, in line and in divisions. All the Corps acquitted themselves with the greatest honour and propriety; it would, therefore, be invidious to particularize any, when the whole performed so admirably. ROYAL. EAST INDIA VOLUNTIERS..-- This fine Brigade, with a Rifle Corps, six field.pieces, and a very full Light Company. to each of the three Regi. ments, at two o'clock came on the ground, and were formed in regular brigade order, with an op posing enemy in ambush, the Royal Westminster Corps. The spirit and correctness with which the Brigade performed the many complicated manoeuvres of a sham fight and review, during which they tra. versed great part of the Park, -and fired most ad. mirably and steadily, merit the warmest encomium. The very interesting Musical Drama of The wife of Mat Husband:, was represented last night at Drury. Lane Theatre, but not before so numerous an audience as the general merit of the acting de. served.—Mrs. POWELL, who his been much indis. posed, matte her first appearance for this season in the eouotess Belflar, which she performed admirably throughout.--She was received with the'most tering ,applause on her entrance.—WROUCHTOM; JOHNSTON, Mrs. MOUNTAIN, and MISS Ds CAMP, all acquitted themselves verrathy . in their respettive characters.—The Farce was Thr Liar; and EursToN displayed great comic spirit in Young Covs4T Gmtnem.- . —The second representation of The Jihad Bargain, list night, fully established this lively and affecting drama in public opinion, and confirmed all that we have said in its favour.— The best feelings of our nature are strongly inter. ested, and the pathetic and risible qualities of the Piece are so well relieved, that attention is always kept alive. 'Ole skiing was, if possible, better than at first. K.. 1111.11, F A WC:RTT,' and Law is, excited and deserved all the applause they received, which was loud and frequent. The audience called fur the Epilogue Song a second time with so much vehemence, that KINIBLIt at last was obliged to come forward, and apologized for the inability of Mr. Efatitv to give it again, after the fatiguing exertion'of a long part. KFMatit'S brief, perti. pent, and welLdelieered speech, allayed the storm. If theVhina Fleet did' so much daMage to Rear- Admiral..LJNota, what would have become of him had he encountered the Deyi Man of \Vat ? Last week Mr. EL.:tuts . * performance on the Harp, at Ayr, in Scotland, was attended by all the Nobility and Gentry assembled there for the Cale. donian Races: The Earl of ECILI .

Lord MUNTGOMER.II7,; whose very accomplished Lady (a Pupil of Mr. Et.otris) is an excellent judge of music, .and one of the best. harp Players in the Kingdom. Yesterday morning, at ten o'clock, the remains of Mr.lsAtectlasa, ten, were removed from his house in Sulfolk.street, and interred under the Communion. Table at St. Martin's Church.

Many lost their clothes.—By the b , Anty of his Royal Highness the Dustg of St/ 49F X, they were ,comfortably re-clothed, and enabled to proceed oh their march.
