SHEERNESS, MARCH I I.—The Amelia Frigate l Lord PROBY, sailed This morning for WoolWich to to be docked. • The Eagle, of 74. guns, is taken into Messrs. PITCHERS' Dockyard, at Northfleet, for the put_ pose of having her bottom coppered, which will in a few days be. completed. Nothing can equal the zeal and a&ivity of Ad. miral CoatiwALLIS he •is up and on deck every morning at three o'clock ; his example has induced a degree of vigilance on board the Fleet highly be neficial to the Service. The whole force under the orders of Admiral CORNWALL is, which includes the Ferrol Squadron, comprises 3S Sail of the Line and i r Frigates. A letter from on board . the Ganges, dated off ,Feirol on the zd instant states, that the tritish Fleet thin comprised the Malta, of 84. guns; Ganges and Dragon of 74 1 Ardent of 64., anal Nimble .Cutter ; the Tonant acid Spartiate having sailed for Frenelt had three Ships of the Line in readinessfor sea, namely, Lc Hero, Le Redouta4le, and Le Fougtieux. The Argonaut, of like force, was in dock, and every exertion was making for hei speedy equipment ; ;here was also a large French Privateer Pa-lg.—The llucch.Ship of the Line re mained in the state iti ‘VhiCh she has been for some months. • Pis - patches were received on Saturday from-Ad miral THOR.NBOIOUGH off the TeKel ; they sate that the Dutch Ship of War, Brutus, was driven on shore in the IVfars Deip, ,and that the Dutch Admi ral's Ship was considerably damaged by lightning, having had-her main-yard cut away, and her main mast wounded, &c. Nothing further had occurred in the position of the Enemy's Squadron. Firs MAJESTY'S SHIP YORK.— We have sincere cot:cern in adding the tollowing extra& of a letter trom Peterhead, to the information which we have already given .un the subjel, .of some pieces of wreck having been driven on the Coast of Scot.. land t We are very apprehensive here that a ship of consider able force 11.4 i been lost at no great distance from this place There is cast ashore at Roseheartie, the lower end of a bult mast, Which measures 23 feet, from the lower part of the deck to the step; at Cairnglass, the top of a box or trunk has been cast on ihore, directed " Henry Mitford,- Esq. care of Captain T. Mitford," and the wedge of a carriaxe gun narked York. lau also informed, that upon the Cru• den coast there is a yard come ashore, upwards of 6o feet long, and the carriage of a gun marked York. For these two days past there is an uncommon quantity of woollen . rags cast in among the sea-ware in this neighbourhood; they arc . all blue, and where any lining appears, it is white.", LORD CAMELFORD.—The fate of this unfortunate Nobleman is no longer doubtful. He expired o„ Saturday night at half after eight o'clock, at Mr. ()TTY's, Kensingtdn. He received the ball on Wednesday morning, and took no sustenance between that period and his death. It should be mentioned, for the honour of his chat - at - ler, that, though from romantic notions of honour, he thought it proper to compel Captain BEST to enter the field, he hid determined not to fire at him. His pistol was not di , charged,' because he was rendered unable ro discharge it, but if no such fatal issue had taken place he would most probably, have fired in the air.—Lord CAMFILFORD was certainly very irritable in his nature, but if he was. not opposed be was very gentle and compliant. He could not bear con_ tradiEtion, hut if people yielded to his temper they might easily have moulded him as they pleased. Avoiding all luxury in his own manner of life, he sought for opportunities of dispersing his great fortune in aas of genuine charity. Every humane heart will learn with pleasure, that he conferred the most liberal favours with a secrecy that ennobled the gift ;- and that he did not distribute less than 40001. 'a year in the purchase of Commissions to gallant young men who had not the means of promotion, and in the relief of decayed seamen and soldiers. He sent for his solicitor, Mr. WIL SON, of Lincoln's-Inn-Fields, and made his Will on the night after the accident ; and he maintained the most perfect composure under his sufferings to the last. At half after four o'clock yesterday afternoon, his Lordship's body was opened in the presence of Messrs. HEAVISIDE, HOME, and KNIGHT. It was then discovered that - the ball had entered be tween the second and third ribs on the right side, very near the shoulder, and passed through the right lobe of the lungs and lodged in the body of one of the vertebrt of the back, from which it was with d fticulty , extraeted ; that, in its passage, the ball had completely divided the spinal marrow, and that a great effusion of blood had taken place in the chest. Mr. 11 ,, Dcsorr, the Coroner, has summoned an Inquest to sit upon the body this day. We understand that Lord CAMELFORD has !eft behind him a paper, in his" Own hand writing, which fully and entirely acquits his antagonist of any blame in .the late unfirtunate transaction. Mr. SHAW has started as a Candidate to repre sent Dublin, in the room of M r . B ER ESFORD, W h o has resigned. Lord H.l+ ITZGER AID, and Messrs. GRATTAN, BARRINGTON, and G. LATOUCHE, are also mentioned as Candidates. ARAEST •OF Mt - A'U ) • PARIS' ) FER. 40. ' .

Madame MOREAU is pregnant; but the reports that she had ruise.arried, that she had fallen down and hurt herself severely on hearing of 'the arrest of her husband, are unfounded.

It is said, that one of the causes of the differences between PicttEctud and MOREAU was, that the latter refused to adt diitealy for Louts Others say, but without sufficient- authority, that a _letter of MOR Ekes exist's, in which he says, " I will not' murder BONAPARTE ; the' plan niustbe pure ; I must see what I have to do." It is said - that MOREAU has been examined by the Grand Judge, in presence of the FIRST CON. SUL.. ;MOREAU denied all the charges brought against him, and piii i icularly insisted on the impro bability of his being conneaed With PI . CHEGRU, whom he had formerly denounced. It is said that AuosttEivu - played some part on this occasion. He sUddenly came to Paris from Brest, and went and spent four hours in conference with the.FIRST CONSUL at 'Malmais-on. • Madame , De DAmAs, it is said, has been arrested ; and likewise Oeneral DELMAS. A person 'of die name of ROLAND was arrested at the Opera, and cari-i6l before the Councillor of State, REAL, charged' with the poiice department. REAL asked him, If he knew why he was arrest ed ? He answered, 100. He was asked, If he had not lately lodged in his house certain suspicious per sons ? He admitted that PrCFlEottu — had lately paid him a visit and that he hod entertained him as an old friend. He at first denied that he lent PICHE. RU his carriage to . visit AdortzAtr; but, on being told that his •coachman had confessed, he admitted it. He said, however,t that PICHEGRU used to take a . figtre daily, and drive to St. Magdaleri's Church, in the neighbourhood of whith lived. He then-went on foot to MOREAU in the Rue d'Anjou, and returned to the fiacre. As ROLAND thought eVery°discovered,'he told all he knew. - Among .other things, he said that PICHEGRU was much disiatisfied with Mo. ILEAU, who had written him that every thing was ready for a colip-de.mainthat he had a great party in the Army, the Senate,- and Legislative Body When he arrived, how'ever, he found no piirty; and nothing prepared. _ _ Macraine DArdAs, it is said, has hcen liberated on the aprlication of Msclame 'Bo NAP ART E.
