These vessels have completed, to four months provisions, the Fleet of the gallant and persevering Admiral, who has closely watched the Dutch Coast, with unremitting zeal and attention, since 061ober last. Various reports from Dutch /fishermen, are. concur in stating, that the English * ainisttr PITT'S return to power, h as created con si derable sensations in Holland ; they indeed assert, with apparent confidence, it has influenced the Dutch Alen of War in the Texel to mtitiny. Although little dependence is to be placed in such reports, it is a measure anticipated with considerable anxiety, and Probably not very distant. On the 4th 4:he King's Birth.day), previous to tile. Bol d quitting the Fleet, each Ship fired a Salute of 25 guns, and displayed the Royal Standard : their respeftive Bands of Music, at the conclusion isf the Salute, struck up " God save the King !"

PUBLIC OFFICE, BOW-STREET. MRS. SIDDONS has for nearly these two months past been extremely annoyed by the innumerable applications by letters, as well as personal addresses, of a young gentleman. He began with writing letters to her, informing her of t h e strong ~fre d io , , and love he had for her person, to which, of course, she paid no attention. In consequence of which he paid daily visits at her house in Marlborough.street, to see her ; but the servants had iestrudions not to admit him. He continued, however, to write letters to her, but Mrs. S. did not answer them tilt-, he formed her he had something of the utmost itnitortanee to communicate, and earnestly requested an inter a few. To which Mrs. S. replied, she most dectine a private interview wttl► a Gentleman she had not any know ledge'ot ; and if he hid any thing to communicate, she begged he would do it to either of her Brothers, or her Son ; but this had no effect up n him, and he continued his troublesome applications, both by let ters, as well as personal obtrusions, till his beha viour became unbearable, as, when the street.door was opened to him, he would not take a denial, and insisted upon waiting to see Mrs. SIDDONS, and the servants had great difficulty in forcing him away. Mr. KEMBLr in consequence, applied to Mr. GRAHAM, .odagistrate, to know how to ad. Mr. GRAHAM advised, that when he called again the servant should behaVe kindly to him, and say, Mr'. SIDDONS had agreed to see him, and fix upon a time for him to call and see her, which was agreed to. On Monday evening he called, when the servant informed hiM, Mrs. Si nvorts had agreed to see him, and appointed ten o'clock yesterday morning for the interview ; which Mr. GRAHAM being informed-of, he sent Adkins, the Officer belonging to Bow-street, to he in waiting, to take him into custody ; Mr. KEMBLE likewise attended with the Officer. At the appointed time, the Gentlerban arrived, and on his insisting upon seeing Mrs. SIDDONS, the Offi cer took him. into custody, and they, accompanied by Mr. KEMBLE, went to the Public-Office, Bow-street, whete he Underwent a long private exam: , nation before Mr. BOND and Sir W. PARSONS. The result Of WhiCh *as, after the Magistrates, and Mr. KEMBLE had pointed out to him the folly of his condutt in making advances of love to a Married wornan, he was liberated on his promising not to be troublesome any more to Mrs. SIDDONS. He proves to be a native of Ireland, and is a student of coln's-inn ; he resides in Salisbury-square, and is about 23 years of age. A specimen of the literary powers of this amototts enthusiast; may be seen in ,the following egtaCt from one of his letters: " LOVELIEST OF WOMEN, " In .Bc/viderat, Ist26ella, Juliet, Arid Cdlista, I have ad mired you until my fancy threatened to burst, and tho strings of my imagination were ready to crack to pie.es ; but, as Mrs. Siddons. 1 love you to inadneas, and until my heart and soul are overwhelmed with fondness and desire. Say not that time has placed any 441i:fence in years between yod and hie. The youths of het day saw Ito wrinkles Upon 'the brow of Ninon I)' 1.n4105. It is for vulgar forms and vulgar souls alone to grow old ; but you shall flourish in eternal youth, amidst the war of elements, and the crush of worlds. " May 2, Barley Mew, Salisbary-Iveare." A very dangerous combination has lately taken place between the Journeymen Boot and Shoetriakers, by which the Masters and the trade in general, are put to the greatest inconvenience; many industrious men being prevented from supporting their families ; the rules ackopted by the Committees of Journeymen not suffering the men to work, but on certain con ditions, and for certain Masters. Ycsterday the matter came before Mr. BOND and Sir W. PAR SONS, at this Office, when Mr. CONST and Mr. GURNEY attended as Counsel for the different parties, and warrants were issued against a number of the men. Yesterday morning about ten o'clock the LORD CHANCELLOR had an audience of His MAJESTY. In the evening, about six o'clock, THEIR MA- I ESTI ES in a post.chariot, and the PRINCESSES ELIZABETH, SOPHIA, AMEL lA, and the DUKE of KENT, in two coaches and four, took an airing in the neighbourhood of Blackheath. Yesterday, soon after one o'clock, the RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR had an audience of Lord HARROWBY, at his Office ; and at three a Cabinet Council was held, which was attended by the Duke of PORTLAND, Mr. PITT, and the MASTER of the ROLLS. The Isth Regiment of Light Dragoons were re viewed yesterday morning by His Royal Highness the DUKE of Yoxx, on Wimbledon Common. To-morrow the Tower Hamlet Volunteers will have a Field-day in the London Fi e ld s, Hackney, consisting of the foll owin g Corps, viz. the White. chapel, St. George's in the East, Mile-end, Christ Church (Middlesex), Shoreditch, and Ratcliffe; and on Monday the whole Corps, amounting to soon e ff e cti ve men, will be reviewed in Hyde Park by His R o yal Highness the D vicl of YORK, PARIS, JUNE 3; TRIAL OF MOREAU,. :G EORG ES, AND THE OTHER CONSPIRATORS. • (Continued from our Paper of yesterdly . .) TE.tE Abbe DAVID.was then examined. The , cor. respondence between MOREAU - and PictiEGßll was read over to him. He identified all the Letters except that from PICHEGRU dated the r t th Vende_ miaire, which, lie said, he had not received. From the correspondence it appeared, that before the Re volution, DAVID had, in succession, been Curate of Pompadour, and since 1789, Curate in La LoZere : a Clerk in the Departmental Administration, and . afterwards in the different Armies ; then a Member of Legation ; • next a Storekeeper, Secretary-Gene_ . ral of the Department of the Eastern Pyrenees ; and, lastly, Vicar-General of the Bishop of Limoges. He admitted that he interested himself in reconciling PICHEGRU to MOREAU ; and stated, that the sole objet of all his proceedings, and his journey to Lon_ ,don, was to procure PICHEGRU'S return to France. The PRESIDENT direeted his attention to the let. ter which he had written to MOREAU from Calais, to inform him of his arrest. The answer was given : He confessed his having required a Bishdptick, and that MbREAU had solicited it for him. The PRESIDENT asked him, why, instead of at tending his duty as Vicar-General, be had gotie to England He replied that he had been to see PI CHEGRU ; and that he had been promiied an in come at Xsol. sterling in the employment of teach-. ing. He was then shewn the letter in which Pr- CHEGRU urged his departure, and pointed out the place where he could get money. He pretended that this letter never came, to hand. It was urged to him, that the letter had been served upon him at Calais ; and that when first interrogated, he had de clared that it was a letter written in the year 1796, and that it has come from Jura ; but was she viin to him by the post.mark, that it was written in the year II; that it had come from England, and that - it was certainly the hand-writing of PtcHEdßu. ROGER, named LorsEAu, passed his examination. The depositions of the witnesses and the plead. ings represented him as an accomplice in the at tempt of the 3d Nivose, and brought forward; as an accusation against him, that he was the inventor of the Infernal Machine ; that he had gone to Lon don ; that he had there entered into the pay of the English Government, and had been initiated into all the projetts of assasSinatian and rebellion directed against France and the FIRST CONSUL ; that he had returned .to Paris with the intention of joining in the plot of the Conspirators; that he had frequent intercourse with OtoRGEs and all the Conspirators; that he had attended at the assemblies which they held at the house of TANNERLAN; and that he had ordered an expensive sabre and an uniform dress. Four witnesses repeated certain declarations which had been made to them by PICOT, relative to the atrocious machinations of ROGER. ROGER replied that it was easy to make Picot' say any thing when he was - condemned to death. Four Gens d' Armes then gave an account of what ROGER had said to them in the Temple, relative to the Conspiracy, of which he had pointed out GEoRGES, PICHEGRU, and MOREAU, as the ring leaders. MOREAU represented that these depositions had been made up with the design of •giving a colour to ‘. the charge against him. HEtt'i7E ivas then examined.—He denied, with mach firmness, all the charges against him. LENOBLE passed his exaLiination ; and several witnesses depoged that he had been engaged in the Conspiraty. CosTER ST. Vtctoß, RnuiN LA GRimAtr 131FRE, DEviLLE, called 1 :ANNERLAN, and AR MANE GALLIERE, Were also examined ; when many witnesses deposed that they were conneeted with the Conspirators. The Sitting concluded at six o'clOck.
