Exam:v . , 011.irntol, .•' -; Tifis morning arrived a Mail from the Leeward Islands, brought to Falmouth by the Princess Amelia Packet; in 35 dayS, from Tortola. The following is the principal intelligence which it brings ‘c BARBAPOES AUG. the Bth inst. ar rived the Diana Packet from - Falmouth, in 28 days; , and the same day arrived R ICHARD STRACHAN'S Squadron. They have been busily employed since their arrival in viaualling and watering, and are at this - moment under sail. It is supposed they will run dawn the Islands, and then proceed to England. The Lady Parker and the Caledonia, from 'New Brunswick, with Mails for Antigua, are captured by a French Frigate, and supposed - to he carried into Martinique;—they were under Convoy of the Busy .Brig of War, Capt. KtiLi.v, who engaged the Fri gate on the night .of the 18th ult: for an hour and 20 minutes, and had one man killed and eleven wounded; ,_her masts and rigging were so injured as to prevent her capturing the Frigate, and Captain KEILLY had the mortification 'of seeing his Convoy in the hands of the Enemy. On .the 52d, the Busy came in here and refitted, and yesterday sailed for Halifax. cc. ANTIGUA, AUG. 11.—We are informed that ,the greatest a6livity prmils at Martinique, where they are busily employed - in baking biscuits `and ing provisions, for.another French Squidron; said to be. hourly expected there." THE new Ministerial arrangements which we ypsterday stated, are to be completed this day, by the appointment of fir. TIERIEY to the Presidency of the Board of Controul, and Mr. BaAqpr BA THURST to be Master of the Mint. Lord FIT;- WILLIAM relinquishes, as we before stated, his si tuation as President "of the Council in favour of Loyd SIDMOUTH, retaining, hoWever, a seat irohe Cabi- net. These arrangements were submitted on Mon day last by Lord GRENVILLE to HIS MAJESTY, who came to Town this molting fo't the purpose of confirming them. For the satisfaEtion of our Readers we subjoin ,the whole of the appointments in one general view. Lord SiomouTtf, to be Lord President. Lord Flo LL A III) to be Lord privy Seal. LordHowletc, to be Secretary of State for the Foteigp Department. TubmAs GREW/ ILL E t to be First Lord of the 43- miralty. Mr. TIERNEY. to be President of the Board of Controul. Mr. BR.AGGL BATHURST, to be .Master of the Mint. THE next intelligence wllic - 11 we receive from the Continent will probably be of a most important and decisive nature. There is every reason to believe that BONAPARTE has by this time placed himself at the head of one of his Armies, for the pur pose of attacking, or at least of over-aweing, Prussia ; for it is certain that he had left Paris be fore Mr. SMITH, the Messenger, had quitted that City. It is not probable that, situated as he is, Bp , NAPARTE will now stop to negotiate with the KING Of PRUSSIA, because his great chance of success rests upon the rapidity of ,hig operations, by which he may be enabled to.-defeat Prussia single-handed before she can be elfeaually assisted by her Al lies. It is true that, judging from experience, BONAPARTE might trust Negotiation alone to bring back the Cabinet, of Berlin t0.,.a. pacific :vs:- tem. The offer of some territorial advantages might naturally be expeae'd to produce that die& But if his PRUSSIAN MAJESTY should he fully convinced of the impoliey of his• past condua, and he should be really determined to make an effort to maintain his own independence, and restore that of Eu rope; an attempt -at Negotiation would be high ly disadvantageous to BONAPARTE, because it would give time to the Ezaruaoh of RUSSIA to bring his' whole force into the frtld to the assistance of his Ally. It is perfealy well known that the success of the French in the last campaign was principally ow ing to the unexampled:celerity of their movements, by which they were 'enabled to beat the Austrians in detail before the arrival ofthe Russians. It is therefore highly probable they Will now pursUe the same system from which they last year derived such important advantage. Whether the KING of PRUSSIA will at tempt to aVc.g.l the storm, by concession or negotia tion, or whether he will brave it, is a point whiCb, the past conduct of the Cabinet of Berlin • has made it very difficult to decide upon. It is diffi cult to believe that thq' KING of PRUSSIA can now seriously resolve Upon trial of strength with Er-a:lce, having„ last year, declined the opntest under cir-, cumstances so favourable that success was almost a natter of certainty, He must, then have been con vinced that th i e subjugation of Austria, would be, in effeet, the subjugation of the , ' greater Alto the continent ; and it was impossible that he should be so short-sighted as not to see that which was clear to every man of common sense in Europe, viz. that thotigh by the humiliation of Austria he might get rid of a rival, yet, tv the aggrandize 7 went of France,, he would acquire a IVlaster.-- All this he must have known last autumn. All Europe looked up to him as arbiter of its fate ; but he staered the decisive moment to be last, and by an infatuated policy, which it is impos sible to account for, without going far enough to assist Austria, he went so far as to excite the resentment of BONAPARTg, and he at this moment feels the double mischief which resulted from his coodua. After being witnesses of these events, we cannot, we confess, place entire confidence in the determination which Prussia has lately manifested, more especially as we see the man to whose Councils this wavering and unfortunate policy (to use no harsher terms) has always been ascribed still employed as the confidential adviser of his Sovereign. 13ut this is a point upon which we cannot long remain in donbt. BONAPARTE has most probably by this time joined his Armies, and but a short time will be given to Prussia, to choose between unconditional submission or determined resistance. At the Council, to be held this day, an Order Will be made, to further prorogue Parliament frOm the gth of Odot*.

'THE EXPEDITIONS.—The variety of these, the mode of equipment of some of them, and the term for which they are variously victualled, puts conjec ture at defiance. A great many flat-bottomed boats have been sent from the, Downs, and most of the Transports have now one'or two of them.—The latest report is, that the reinforcement going out to Buenos Aires is tq consist of the T7th Light Dra goons, ‘.‘ the brave Death or ;Glory Regiment," Geo neral DE LANCEY'S.Regiment ; of the Ist battalion of the sth, 'General EN4I,AND'S Regiment ; and of the 88th, or Connaught Mangers, General REID'S regiment.

The Duke of NORFOLK was in the Chair. The purpose of this Meeting was to pass some Re solutions respe&ing the loss the Club had suffered in the death of Mr. Fox. Mr. ADAM addressed‘the Meeting, and pronounced a brief hut impressive panegyric on the high merits of the departed Mem ber, proposing that the Society should convey to the Relations of the deceased their solicitude to Aoia in the mournful ceremony of his interment. This proposal was zealously adopted, and a Committee was appointed fbr that purpose, as well as to con sider what. further testimony of its esteem and respeta for Mr. Fox should be given to his memory. —Unanimous assent was given to the Resolutions, and to the Motion of Thanks to the Duke of NOR-. rola( for his eonduet as Chairman.

Titt THEAT4CE.--Often as the Tragedy of Pimp-0, has been performed, it was attended by a very nu merous audience last night at Drury-lane Theatre.-- #o//a was performed with the usual force of EL LISTON, but with rather too pompous a mode oC utterance.

The Flay 'altogether went off with ‘cOti.iderablc The Gazette of last night contains an Order.ln council, revoking the (2.;:.1,2r pf the sth Of Apri'l, 1805, by which Vessels coming troth the Port pf Cadiz, or from any other Port Qt . Spain, withoui the Streights of Gibraltar, lying to the Southward of Cape St. Vincent, were enjoined to perfor.,, qua rantine. . The Gazette also contains an Order in Cquncil, by which it appears, that by an Order. in Councit of the 15th of August, .1805, rags imported into the ports of 'Great Britain, Guernsey, Jersey, Al derney, Sark, or. Man, were to Liidergo special quarantine,; but as' it has been represented to His MAJESTY, that the stl*Cting rags to such special quarantine is attended with much inconvenience to trades and there does not at present appear to be any reason to appri.;nend. that 'there does exist any unusual or infetti,us 'distemper on the Continent of Europe, His MAJESTY has been pleased to revoke and discharge the aforesaid Order. The following accident happened Or Monday seinnight, at Battle, in Sussex John Cooper, a private in the atith fOot, preparatory to the march of the third division of that Regiment, on the rol lowing morning, was employed in. making secure a large chest, containing arms, in one of the bat , horse stables, used as a store-house, in the 'Bar rack-yard, his hammer came in contael with a flint, and struck fire; the sparks flew to and flashed some gunpowder that had been scattered about the pre mises, which caused the ignition of other combustible matter, that soon set the building in a blaze, and ex ploded 8000 ball cartridges ; but as they were packed in thin casks, containing Iwo each, and took tire in progressive order, the explosion did not produce the consequences which, from the contiguity of the artillery magazine, was to be apprehended from them. Cooper, who was the only man in the store house at the time, had his hands pretty much burnt, and his whiskers singed from his face, but received no other personal 'injury. The flames ra6..d with great violence, and destroyed three ten-stalleki sta-, bles, and all the military stores they contained, be fore they could be subdued, although several engines were soon brought to the spot fir their extinction. In the. stable next to that in which - the fire coal- Menced several dogs belonging to the CAbcer, were shut up, but they were all preserved except one, a ilittable pointer, the property of Car ~till FRAZER, which' utak burnt to death. - :The military stores con srsted of clothing, poincers' i2titruments, spare arms, &c, &c. • •
