SOLEM QUIS DICERE FALSLYM AUDF.AT ? LONDON, MONDAY, APRIL 21, 1806. THE Prince Ernest Packet arrived at Falmouth on the 17th from Barbadoes. The Mails contain no in telligence of importance. No 'French Squadron has appeared in those Seas ; there seems, therefo i re, every reason to believe that the Vessels which separated from Admiral LESSIEGUES, after he left Brest, have sailed for the East Indies. The Euryalus Frigate, with the Fleet ,under her convoy, from Portsmouth, is arrived off Lisbon. The Princess Amelia and p Duke of Marlborough Packets, from Falmouth, are arrived at Barbadoes. We are sorry to announce the loss of His Majes ty's Brig Seaforth, Lieut. STEELE, which upset in a squall, and only two of the Crew were saved. THE Gazette of Saturday ,contains an Order in Council for putting Vessels belonging td Persons residing in - Ports or Places situated upon the Rivers Elbe, Weser, and Ems, under an Embargo; ' but Danish Vessels are of course exempted from the ope ration of the Order : and it is also ordered, " that no property,or freight-money appearing to belong to any subjed . of Prussia, or to any persons residing as aforesaid, respeding which proceedings are now de pending, or. shall hereafter !depend, in any of His Majesty's Courts of Prize, shall be decreed to be re stored; nor shall the proceeds 'of any property or freight4noney, belonging as aforesaid, which' bath already been decreed to be restored, be paid to or on behalf of the claimants, but the same shall be kept in safe custody , until His Majesty's further order herein." From the adoption of this measure there is every reason to believe that the KING of ,PRUSSIA is deter-, mined to persist in that impolitic and unjust condu& which led, in the' first instance, to the detention of Prussian Vessels. His subjeols have already felt se-, verely the effe&s of his abjeEt submission to the dic tates of France : since the issuing of the Order for detaining Prussian, Vessels, no less than Five Hun dred Ships, under the Prussian' Flag, have been, brought into our Ports. The Mail from Hamburg - h, which was due yes , terday, has not arrived, but (we learn by a Vessel which has arrived in the. River, under Pappenburgh colours, that, previous to her sailing an Order to the following effe& was posted up at , the Exchange of Embden : " That no British Vessel, arriving at this port with a cargo, should be permitted to stay longer than twenty-four hours, and then to sail without landing any of her rnerchandize." IT is • rather singular that those who have given His Majesty's Ministers most praise for the secrecy which they have 'observed respeeling the Communi cations' that have lately passed between this . Cotintry and France, affea to be perfectly acquainted with their objeCt, and - assert : that they do not relate to 'an Exchange Of, PriSoners, but to the restoration of Peace. Without pretending to that information which -Ministers have very ;wisely thought proper to withhold upon this subject, we can only form- our opinion upon general grounds. We stated some time ago our reasons for thinking that BON,9'ARTE would male propositions of a pacific tendency to this Coun try. The advantages : which he would derive,, in the present state of the Continent, from a Peace, or even from a pretra6ted Negotiation • with Great Britain,. are.too -obvious to escape observation. It would, ,hOwever, be, at the best, u,seless to enter into specu lations upon thiS important point, without po'ssess ing accurate information ; and the Public may rest assured that when it is deemed proper to let the real. nature of the communication be clistinaly stated, they shall bite as early intelligence, -at leat, as any of our Cornp,etitors can give them. - Yesterday "morning His MAJESTY, PRINCESSES AUGUSTA, SOPHIA, ,and MARY, accompanied by-Ge nerals MANNERS and FITZROY, Count MUNSTER, and Colonel DESBRow, went to St. George's Chapel, and he?trd an excellent Sermon preached by the Rev. Dr. DODSWORTH, from the ad chapter of the Ge neral Epistle to St. John, and 6th verse. After. Divine Service the Royal :Party took an airing to Frogmore. Saturday morning PRINCESSES AUGUSTA and So- PHIA, accompanied by Genera! MANNERS and Colo nel TAYLOR, took ah airing on horseback in Wind sor' Great Park. PRINCESS AMELiA took an airing in a carriage and four by Cranbourn. The DUKE of CUMBERLAND arrived at Windsor on Saturday afternoon from town. When the last Government - Dispatches left the Cape of Good Hope Sir HOME 'POPHAM'S Squadron was ready for sea, and expected to sail the next day (January 29) ' in pursuit of the French Admiral LINOIS, in the• Marengo, and his Squadron, who, froth-the information of the Officers of the Prize, might daily be expected off the Cape. The Marengo 'Mounts 86 guns, with 800 men on board, and is re presented as the finest sailer in the Indian Sea. The' 59th Regiment were ordered,to embark with the Convoy ready to sail for India. - The" Cape of Good Hopei's to be the Giand Mili tary Depot for . the supply of our Asiatic Possessionl, the Chief Administration of which, it is said, is to be . placed in . the hands of Sir J. C HIPPISiEY, and, that General SIMCoE is to be CoMmander in - Chief. On Saturday dispatches were received at the Ad miralty from Lord Cora.t:NGwooD. Yesterday Mr. 'Secretary Fox transacted business • .. With Lord HOWICK, at the Adiniralty. A very grand Dinner was given to the Duke of CLAREN : CE on. Saturday last, by the West Indid Merchants, at. the London'Tavern. The Company consisted of, the most respthable persons among Vhalll were; the -LORD CHANCELLOR, the. Lords, PENRYN and CAS . I'LEREAGII, Sir WILLIAM YOUNG, Sir CiIARLES POLE,. Messrs. - ROSE, HIEBERT; &c: INCLEDON, HILL, NIELD, and other Vocal 'Per formers added to. the general . Pleasure. The Duicz thanked the Company in a .very handsome manner for drinking his health, as well as for the compliment Paid to him in the occasion of the Dinner; and ex "pressed, hiS high regard for the 'Commercial Interests of this Country, and his determination to give theiu all the support in his power. The - Parks.i,vere yesterday more fully and fashion ably attended than any preceding Sunday this • season: We have. received accounts from India by the late overland Dispatch to the end of January. .A letter from BOmbay, dated Jan. 25, states, that HOLKAR, being greatly; embarrassed by the want of grain in his camp, had applied to SCINDIA for a supply, and the latter was about, to furnish.a considerable quan tity, when the British Resident made a strong re monstrance against his doing so, and SCINDIA, in consequence, countermanded the orders he had given on the occasion. It appears, however, that he has made to HOLKAR large pecuniary remittances. Some Seik Chieftains in the interest of HOLKAR have been arming, under pretext of recovering their rights in Moultan, but really for carrying on the war in the Guzerat ; and ScINDIA had engaged to furnish them with three Battalions for the, enter prize. The Troops were put in motion ; but some differences arising as to the terms'of their co7ope ration, SCINDIA suddenly recalled them, and the ex pedition _has,' for the present, been given up. The jungle fever has again broken out in some parts of the Malabar Coast, and -carried off great numbers of the natives. A new coinage of gold, silver, and copper, to A very consideraale -amount; is about to take place at Calcutta; and the old coin is in consequence to be called in. The famous Smith, alias Captain Hoy, who head ed the gang of Defenders that burnt the house of the Speaker of the Honse of Commons in Dublin, in the year 1792, and did other mischief throuBhout Ireland, was one of. the persons saved frog. the French Ship Diomede, burnt at St. Domingo, and came to . England in the Kingsfither. His person is identified by one of the crew of that Ship; ayd in formation to that purpose was taken before the Mayor of Portsinouth. on 'Friday. Sunday.se'nnight, in the morning, two Officers of the 71st Regiment fought a duel on the preen,, at Glasgow. They exchanged a shot each, and one of them was wounded in the thigh. On Saturday morning, as Mr. Joseph West, of Salters'-Hall-passage, .who had been in different parts of the country on business, in a gig, was re turning to town, .he stopped at St. Albate.s, where be fell - Into conversatieni, at an, inn, with a young man, dresSed as a Naval Officer, and continued in his company till he Was abont to resume his journey to London... When Mr. West bad, got into hig gig, and was about to leave thelown, he saw the young man walking," and asked him if he was. going - to town; he replied in the affirmative, and accepted of Mr. West's invitation to take a ride with AS they passed on the road, .he talked'of his know- ledge of tlle,Marquig of Salisbury, Lord Melbourne, and - a numbet of other' families of distin&ion, which induced Mr. Wesmysuppose him to be of a respeala ble family. When Mr. West' got to his house, he asked his companion to walk in and take some re freshment, which he agreed, to. Mr. West shewed him into a room where he usually sits; and, as was Customary with him .on corning off a journey, emp tied his pockets of his cash, &c. into a drawer, and then Jeff; the room to wash himself. On his return, be found his companion gone ; and afterwards dis- covered that he had made off with the money which had been 'put into the drawer, amounting to about 1201. and a new great coat and hat out of the passage. On Tuesday last a young .man, a Carpenter, lell from the stern of a new Ship on,the stocks in the building-yard ,of MeSsrs. Joan SCOTT and Sons, of Greenock, to the depth of upwards of 24 feet, and was-supposed to lie killed ; but it turns out that only one of his arms, and +some .of his ribs are. broke, and sanguine hopes are entertained of his recovery. •
