The Nemesis, in Torbay, has rode out , the gale of wind ; and great hopes ate entertained that the Nlattile will be got off, without much damage, the next springaidcs.

The present obstinate easterly wind 9 keep every thing opt that is expeaul,- - -A changt will no doubt bring us Mr. FRER,E. We yesterday stated, that we had strong grounds for believing that there . Was no truth in the report that Mr. ADDINGTON was to suceeed Lord Hmt. ltowa in the Foreign Office. .We believe we may now' add, that it is not intelided Mr. AnotttoToti should fill any efficient sitivititin, nor, perhaps, that be should be a Mcrifber of the CA. DINET. It is probable that he will immediately-receive the Peerage apd Pension to which his long and me. fitorions services, as . Spcaker of the House of Cum. OW, most fully entitle him. These mimics of Royal Fdvour, conferred upon the late Minister, will probably be fcAtowed by the employment, in Official Situations, of several of his -personal Adherents. Mr. YORKE, Mr. BOND. Mr. BATHURsT, anti Mr. VANSITTART, all men of honour and ability, are spoken of in the higher' circles as likely to be included in the ensuing arrangement; but . we ap. prebend that nothing is yet agreed upon in detail, either with respeCt to any of Mr. ADDINGTON's friends, ear to the situation which he himself is to f►ohl.

Private Letters from the Hague enable us to add to the particulars which we - publislmi yesterday respeeling the late violent transattions in Holland, that the four Members of the Bataviati Council, whom we mentioned to have been excluded from the Meetings of the Dirediory, have been •put under arrest, and aftnally sent off prisoners to Paris. At die late Coronation at Paris there were no less than four hundred and thirty-eight Deputations from. the Army and - Navy, composing altogether between seven and eight thousand men. The patronage of His Holiness the Pore has been considerably increased since he crossed the Alps. Out of the number of Cardinals who left Rome with the Holy Father, one died (Cardinal BottotA) St 1.40719, on the 26th tilt. ; and another, Cardinal ANTONEF.LI, was so extremely intlis. posed at Paris, on the 7th instant, that he was not expeCted to live many hours. Although Holi_ ness cannot scatter crowns and scrptrer as his prede. cessors ware wont to do, there is little doubt but he will have plenty of bats to give away. All the Sovereign Princes at Paris, the French Princes, the Chief . Dignitaries and Officers of the Empire, the Ministers of His Imperial Majesty, and the Foreign Ministers, supped on the 6th at the Imperial Palace of the Thuilleries.

A Letter from Leghorn, dated Nov.:M . :Jo a Gentleman'in Edinburgh, says, ". You have heard, no doubt, of a sickness that reigned here sonic weeks since. It has been called the Plague, Yel. low Fever, &c. but the fad is, .that it is not con. lagieus, and is properly a Ptittid Fever,. occasioned by uncommon cold weather and heavy rains in July", and redoubled heat in August and part of Septem. ber. it is now gradually decreasing, and our Go:. vernment has taken such vigorous measures as will, under Goo, very soon restore health, and take away all uneasiness in those who thought it more serious than it really wasp".
