L'o N'D 0 N, SEPTEMBER 26; ON' Wednesday morning, the wind having come , round to the north:,yardb Achniral DucKWoßiqi, the Royal George, i made the signal for the Trans- . ports at Plymouth, having on board:theTroops des tined for the Mediterranean, to . unmoor.' The Tfansports, to the nunibor of thirty-, were soon Un citT sail, and proceeded with their Convoy ..to the .wstward. It is supposed that they will bejoinedoff. Falmouth by the Squadron under - the : ,command of Rear-Admiral Louis, who will proceed' with the Expedition to a certain latiCude. The Troops which have sailed on this Expedition consist of the 45 th , 52d, and 62d Regiments, and two - Battalions of Guards. The 87th and 95th Regiments remain at Ply mouth ; tbey • will soon be joined by sothe more Troops, and will sail for Buenos Ayres, under Con voy of the Ardent, of 64 guns, Captain Ross DON KELLY.

THE ProclamatiOn from the KING of PRUSSIA . , which appeared in the Leyden Gctiette received yes terday, and. which our Readers will find. in a subse quent Column, _seems not only to be intended for the People to whom it is addressed, but as an hidi rea hint to BONAP4RTE, that the former is deter, mined to resist any farther atternpts'to exchange or tho4,fy any of his Territories. Hence . , considering, too, the charade!' of the KING of 'PRUSSIA, we might be led to conclude that he-..was'again disposed to engage; in a " War Of "Manifestoes than a&ually to encounter France with. a more hostility. But the . ' passage in the Pro ciamatiou alluded to, which declares that the KING of PIIUSiIA. has no' idea " of ceding or. ex:: I ‘.iansing thin ProyinCe(Eichtield and Erfurt), or a;ly other whateyet," •may considered as a hint tothis COqpiry not to exped' the 'restoration of kiandver. The policy, howcver,• of. the Cab)net of B._rho has .beau .pf ,8() vacillating a nutuce,,, that,no great depe,ocie.i - ce'_cari iy4 'in its most positive dQt.:.larations ; anti as so:n:3 movements towards an aiuicable intercourse are suppOsed to have recently tal:en plate ba.C%veen `that Cabinet and the British Go‘.'eranient, it 'mak b:j interred that the KING of Paoss.a. is not so,firmly determihed. on the reteu tiou of Hanever as the passage alluded to in the .Pro— clarnatipn might otherwise lead the world to conclude. As to th.intetitienS of Prussia toy irds France, it is ,to form . any p'robable ccojetture, though the time for temporizing with BoN4 , AL9.:F:.,iscertqi:i at an erid; - and if the KING . 0 1PItUiSlA should again . • • shew hat he is inclined' to Make vapouring demon strations, with. a disposition to Oncede; he may, expe6t to be the next awful viaim to the ambition. of the French Ruler, and will tall: unpitied by all' other States. There were a number of reports current yesterday in the City, bUt as they were all with ; out authority, they are hardly worth notice. — One stated, that the disputes between France and Prusia were at an end. There was another egtially unfounded report, that a Telegraphic Order had be2n issued to stop ; the sailing of the Expeditions. • WE understand that Lord MORPETH was to set 'o'ut for ,Berlin in the course of this day, for the pi.rpose of adjusting the differences with Prussia.

PRINCE OF HESSE. The following Anecdotes of that gallavit Officer, the PrinCe ot FiEss PHILL,IP - STHAL, ate etra.:.ted from a Letter ffom an tfiLvr Rank in His Niaje.sty'S Service, now in the' MCiiiierralican. Our Readers will perceive thatthey were - written before - the Surrender of Gaeta. ANECDOTES OF THE-PRINCE OF HESSE. IN the late War he commanded a large body Of Cavalry in the Austrian service, in Italy, with great credit. - On his return to Naples he was appointed to .command Gaeta, with a Garrison of less than , ::5000 Men; 'and one Regiment of pardoned Assassins; "the rest, a few Artillery excepted, a.-most motley crew: On'the evacuation of,Naples,• he was ordered. to give up the place ; but, he wrote to the King to 'say, that virliaever had told his Majesty that it was not tenable; so long as the communication by sea was open, t wo a Villain arid a - traitor;, he should , 'therefore hold his position, which he _still ; does, ,in. 'spite of all the impediments the weak pusilanirrious Sicilian Government ,throw in hiS .way, by with holding supplies' of arms and ammunition, &c. &c. .but I fancy they now see their error, as they are giving" him all. thesupport in their power. The Princ6 'was first summoned in February, 'when six hours were given' for 'his reply. He an swered, " That fie did not require six minutes; that they might have the place when they could take it." He, lidwever, called together, the principal Officers and inhabitants, saying, he did, not wish, to as 'quite tiom.l - iiinself, .but wished for their senti ments." They, nnanimously advised the giving up the place. He instantly said, he only wished for their opinion ; but as he was determined to hold out to•the last, he with their services ; and embarked them forthwithin a vessel for Palermo.—. About six weeks 'after this, the French. General find ing he made but : very little impression upon the towri, .asked for an interview ; which was granted. He walked him up to the batteries, introduced him 'to the guns as his acquaintance, saying, •" If you come near enough .you may be acquainted with them too."—After a little common-place conversa- • :•tion, the Frenchman offered him somewhat about 60001. to give up the. place. His reply Was, " I nth, not Macx, nor, is this Ulm," and then disthissed him. • About a fortnight ago _a fresh attempt was made to induce the Prince to betray : the place. He 'made 'the Messenger put down his proposals iii Writing before witnesses, and then corifined i liinr in a dungeon, where ho now is. The proposals began by observing, that his HighneSs had acquired much glogy by t4-defencelre had already made, but that further resistance be useless ; that the French had-100 pieces of ordnance before the place;. ready 'to open a fire which could not - fail to reduce it ; the French were at. peace with all the world 'except England, who, , besides their inability to af. ford effectual relief, . supported the cause 'of FER NAND only from interested motives; but that. they must soon' make peace,. since- ilie-Is.tsront Pa US.' SIA had declared against' them.' General GAR . baNNE - , hoWever, with all these circumstances in his favour, but desirous' to prevent the effusion of blood, otfered' his Highness one million . .of livres, with the rank of General of. Division in the French service,, as the price of a surrender; and, to save appearances, be. proposed to batter the place -for for three days, to afford a pretext honourablit tothoth parties; that if . his Highness doubted tilts number o'f the French guns, he wa, at linen) , to ciend:,i Confidential Officer to see and report. The Prince was married to air Itarian Lady, :vho died about two years ago, since which he has lived with a Lady he met with in Piedmont, 'and wiio is now in the Garrison ; but since aii women ate for.s bidden to go to the Batteries, close to which the -Pritice constantly resides, she visits 'mu every after noon in men's apparel. DUBtLV, SEPT. 20. '' 1 , NEW SILVER Mu'E.—About three months since ,a Man employed 'as a herd on the lands of Slimik hill (about, seven miles from this City, and 'three from the town of :Bray); picked up what- seetue.i to l`him a small•stone or pebble, the external appear- • ance of which afforded no reason to suppose that it had any value ; but from the uncommon weiglit, -compared with . its size, the man was indUced to bring it horne,Rd: it remained in . hiS poSsession until the beginning of this month, when being. accidentally ''she\vn to q - Miner, and its value ascertained; a mi .nute search Was made, and ; his hidden source of wealth was explored and brought to view.-- The richness of the' Mine, and the extent and - depth of the vein, promise to. make ample amends for the labour .and expense of 'working it ; as trora _an' analysis made .by several :eminent Chymists- chid -Mineralogists, the natural rude and Illlwro4lt ma 'terial is-calculated to be ,worth upwards of 2!2.1. .per ton. .The :mine is. now iii . a forward state of work ing—and being considergd,a.matter . of, .national itp 7. Finance, it is sincerely to be hoped the Proprietor's exertions may be - enbouraged and-patronized by the welt- . .vishers to the prosperity of Ireland ; this mine --will afford permanent etnoloyment to a : number of - poor, but industribus individuals, in that neighbour hood, who. are bow 'without - means of a comfortable subsistence. • PREEN -ROOM tloAx.—On the appearance of Mr, PENLEY in Scrub, the Editor of an Evening Paper • stated, that.this Performer had no originality, and that his conceptions of the part were borrowed from Messrs. BANNISTER and MUNDEN. A LetSer was in consequence addressed by. some Theatrical Wai to the:Editor, in Mr. PENLEY'S name, " assert ing his preteiWons to originality, imputing the bias of the Editor's mind to the force of first impressions; and stating, that if Mr: PENLEY bad been the first seen, Messrs. BANNISTER and MUNDEN would have been regarded as the imitators."—Mr. PENLEY has• deetned it necessary to disclaim this Lettcr, and to reply to the waggery by aii affidavit. Mr. Tosm, the Author of 7 he Honey Moon, has left another Comedy, it_seems, which is soon to be , brought forward at Drury-lane Theatre. If it should prove._as good in point of dialogue as the former work, it will be a prize for the Public as, well as to the Theatre. There has been no. such liroduction since the days of our elder Dramatists, and ,it is somewhat•strange that so vigorous a, write; as Mr. .I.:oniN should not have been heard of till atter !Ls death.
