IT . is now ;crown that Admiral CORNWALLIS has regained his station off Brest, without having at all come into pore. He run before the gale of Sun day the 26111 into the Channel, but finding, after Wednesday, that the weather moderated, he had OUR fro luty„ upon entering on anatZer Year, is, to return our warmest Thanks f o r the continued support which we have .so long and so generally received. It would be want of gratitude, not to acknowledge it, and a want of just and becoming attention both to the Public and to ourselves, not to -use our utmost endeavours to deserve it. At the commencement of the present Y ear,vwe confess that we do not contemplate the start of Afairs 'without anxiety, because, though 'lane have a firmer reliance than ourselves upon the Ardour and Spirit of the People, yet it 'would be a contradic. Zion to all experience, to suppose that the Contest in 'which we are engaged can terminate "without much and severe suf f ering en oar part. Even if 'we are, as we confidently think we must be, ultimately successful, "we 'cannot expeci success 'without considerable sacrifices both of treasure and of blood. The situation of the Continent promises nothing, for some time to come, but a state of War. The Re volution of France has ended in a division of Europe, in 'which the other Powers are not like& to acquiesce longer than circumstances force their compliance. It has ended also in establishing in France itself a Military Despotism, the Govern ment the least calculated to onjoy the blessings of Peace, or to sutler others to enjoy them ; and the restless dis Position of the Chief Consul, adds to every probabi'ity of Europe being engaged for some time to ia a state of Warfare. This prospect eve route' pplate with some degree of uneasiness, but certainly 'without alarm or dismay. We are not terrified at these appearances, because, in addition to the natural difficulties and obstruc tions which may probably frustrate ay" attempt to subdue the Nation, we believe that there is a Spirit lot the Country which is unconquerable. For the sake of Humanity, 'we wish that the threatened attempt to invade us may not be made—for the sake of establishing the greatness and superiority of the Empire, perhaps our most cordial wish ought to be, - that the experiment should be tried. It is - to be lamented that, confident as some may feel of success against such an attempt, every circum stance should not colic/ace to render us all still more confident and more certain than we are. Our re liance is entirely upon the spirit of the People, unconnected with any consideration of the Persons by whom we are governed. We are assailed by great talents, great energy, and great perrevet. lance—we should be happy to see such ?utilities opposed by similar qualifications on our part, and when we say this, we do not allude to the pies lion of Invasion alone the Invasion were given up, does any man suppose our difficulties Are materially lessened ? and would it not, require the greatest abilities in the Nation, to prosecute success fully a War commenced !without a Foreign Alli ance, and only to be continued by the People sub- On Saturday at midnight the Band of the Stafford. shire Militia assembled before the Earl of Tjx. BRIDGE'S house, in Windsor, and saluted his Lord. ship with a grand Serenade, .or Wake, on the com. mencement ,of the New Year. Last. Friday night the Earl and Countess of MALMSBURY gave a grand Ball and Supper to a numerous company of Nobility, at Park -place, near Henley. W e understand that the Regiment of Light Dra goons commanded by His Royal . Highness the PRINCE of WALES, now quartered at Brighton, has been orderyd froth that station to Guildford. The ground on which this order is justified, is said to be a regard for the perst..l.al safety of the Heir Ap... Karen t. We last night saw a letter from a Naval Officer of high rank, which states, that intelligence,has been just uceived from our Cruizers off Boulogne, in which it is mentioned, that two of the French Glin-boats, which were ordered from the inner har bour to the outer, had, almost immediately after getting into the latter, swamped, each of them having 100 men on board, all of whom, were lost. This incident is stated in the letter alluded to, to have had such an effect on the French Army, which was in sight, and under orders for embarkation, that a number of them mutinied. The mutiny, however was repressed, and three Officers of ,the +lst Demi-brigade, accused of being forward ,to pr ) mote this mut i nous disposition, were put to "death. We state the faa as it has been described, without vouching for its authenticity. It was reported on Saturday that BONAPARTR h ad arrived in. Holland upon the 23d; and went the next day to superintend the embarkation of Troops in the IVlaese, consisting of 9000 Dutch and t z,OOO French, under the command of Generals VICTOR and DUNIONCEAU. During the gale of the 25th, it is s a id, several of the Ships and Transpo rts ran foul of each other, and it was found advisable to re.land all the Troops, which was accordingly done, with the lass of about 300, on board a large Schuyt that foundered. This intelligence, it is said, brought b y a Gentleman who left Amsterdam on was Monday l ast. • Saturday dispatches were received at the Ad. , miralty from Lord NELsom. They are dated so far back as the 7th October, and bring nothing new. Dispatches reported to be of great importance, were on Saturday received from Lord GARDNER on the Irish station. They were immediately for warded to Lord ST VINCENT, at Brentwood, in Essex. Several seafaring men were, on Wednesday se'n night, taken into custody at Crosshaven and Rio gaskiddy, near Cork, by Lieut. EDWARD Towrr sx END, of the Royal Navy, and a parr of the men employed in the Regulating Service at Cove. Their apprehension was in consequence of orders which he had received from Admiral Lord GARDNER ; and we understand they are charged with prattlices of a treasonable nature. The Dub/in Mail of the zBth ttas the following article : " I have the pleasure to inform you, that we are picking up more of the wretches principally engaged in the shocking Insurre6tion of the z3d July. De velin, who was the agent between the City of Dublin and the County of Wicklow Rebels, and who introduced the unfortunate Robert Emmett and Drztr . yer, the mountain robber, to each other, is now in custody at Arklow. A person named, Cullinait, who had been an •ktive organizer in the Southern Counties, under the assumed name of Clark, and pa • ssed at one time for the General of that name in the French Service, is in the gaol of the City of Cashel." A Troop of the 6th Dragoon Guards will arrive at Wakefield on Thursday, and two Troops at Leeds on Friday next. Brigadier. General SH ERBROOK is superintendin g the construdion of some works on the Norfolk Coast, between Sherringham and Cley, where, it is said, one of the Enemy's Divisions is intended TO land.

The first Battalion of the t Bth Re. giment were to march for Dunbar; and the zd, for Stirling. The - Eastern Regiment of Somerset Yeomanry, consisting of nine Troops, !„:ve been for ten days on alive duty at Taunton, during the most un. favourable weather. General COWELL has pub lished a report full of the highest eulogia on their conduct. steered again for Ushant. The noble perseverance of this gallant Veteran must excite both the admira'. tion and gratitude of the Nation. The Culloden, of 74 guns, came into Ply mouth on Saturday front the Fleet off Brest. We are much concerned to announce the loss of Ilis Majesty's Sloop Stili,ante, of i 6 *s, Capt. HEATHCOTE, in the Harbour of Cork, on the night of the 25th ult. Seven' of the Crew were drowned, and three killed by the falling of a mast. This morning arrived a Mail from the Leeward Islands, brought, to Falmouth by the Prince Ernest Packet in 35 days.

The Royal Carriages will be escorted by the Westminster Light Horse •as far as Ranelagh Green at the end of the lane, where they will be received by the St. Mar gatet's and St. John's Volunteers, who will be drawn up in liceon each side of the road, to keep a clear passage. for the carriages and company.
