At present they wait in the, Downs, until further orders. The German Horse; which landed here last week, so much out of order, are greatly recovered, and 'hopes are entertained that most of them will soon be fit for service again. DOVER, JAN. 6. A. shocking accident happened on FridaY, on board a gun-boat in the harbour. As the: people were in the a& of lowering the mast previous to going through the Bridge, the staprope, which supported it, unfor tunately gave way, and the Mast falling on the head of one of the men, it crushed him in such a dreadful manner that he. lived but a few hours afterwards.=-- His name is William Evansand- belonged to His Majesty's ship Antelope. A fine new Gun-brig was launched froth Messrs. KING'S Yard, yesterday morning, pierced for 32 guns, and burthen 380 tons, is supposed to be the finest Vessel of her this§ that has been built for many years. A Frigate is to "be built on the slip from whence this vessel was launched-immediately. The Celebrated ScaLian, DENON, of-Egyptian me mory, is on his route- to Vienna, to superintend the plunder of the Cabinets and Galleries in the Im perial Palace, of whatever. is most rare, curious, or Valuable, among the contents, in the fine arts and literature thus, the scenes of plunder, at Florence, Rome, and Venice, never practised before the time of the French Revolutionary Barbarians, are to be fe'-a6ted in that devoted city. We should think, hoWever, a spirited remonstrance from that gallant arid illustrious Prince, the ArchdukeCHARLES, back ed as he is by an unbroken Army, of near eighty thou sand men, would not beunattended to on such an occasion. The following is the Address of the English Inha bitants of Madras to Marquis CORNWALLIS on his arrival there " Madras, July 22, aos. " To Ike ?Jost i),roble •CriAnLus, Marquis CORN.- viALLIs, K. G.

" GENTLEMEN, No circumstance could be more gratifying to my feelings than the assurance which you give me that my former endeavours to promote the welfare and prosperity of the valuable Possessions of Britain in the East are still honoured with your favourable recolle&ion. " The only encouragement that I could have; at fayiadvanced period of life, to undertake again the nre.uous task to which it has pleased His Majesty and the Honourable Company to call me, was founded on the hope that the principles by \i , hich my formqr conduct was uniformly regulated would not yet be fprgotten either by the Subjedts of Bri tain or by the., Native Princes or Powers of Hin dostan.

We have, all of us, seen the heroic Defenders of the Country braving the most imminent dangers, and. asserting with heroic intrepidity, : and by the sacrifice of their own lives, the security of the .State, the splendour and dignity of the Crown, and' the safety of our persons and property, and every' thing that is most dear to us.— In every quarter -liave been repelled with rivers of blood the devastating enterprizes, the injuries, the insults, and the hostilities, of our implacable Ene 7 , mies. To these painful sacrifices have eve been driven by the hatred and jealousy which the E - lish cherish in their bosoms, forgetting that frond this fire of incessant persecution will shoot forth the devouring flame which will reduce - them to a state of total ruin. •- • ' O beloved countrymen who have survived the glorious catastrophe of the 2 . lst of 061ober ! to „ you the nation commits the task of redressing its wrongs, and avenging the victims sacrificed in that dreadful combat.

At' this instant London, and the whole of. England, re= peat, with enthusiasm, the immOrtal names of all those gallant Spanish Commanders; and loudly- ex tol those individuals of the Squadron,l who v t ied with each-other in mingling their- blood with the waters: of the ocean.in the defence of their Country: Of all thoie exposed theit lives in this daidn, there is nora main who has.not entitled himself to universal esteem and veneration 5. not one of them, in necessi- • tons circumstances, who- is not a deserving obje6fol the pious benevolence of the nation. • The heroism of the Spanish Navy has been reward- ed by the liberal hand of the Sovereign,„ eXtendiii s g itself to every rank, and mitigating the aplidion of . many, families with succours so bountiful as alrapit to transgress the limits required by a tegardrto other obje&s of indispensible attention in the Maintenance of so - just a war. TheSJlTiiiiToTthe Royal munifi cence have excited.that feeling of national efithusi-, aSm.which is. Charaderistic qf the generous Spaniard With what a pleasing. sensation do we remark that the commercial interest of the capital of the king doin—distinguished upon Various former occasions by repeated acts of philanthropy And humanity, and elearified anew by a- noble impulse of patriotism and beneficence towards the poor families of those whO have fallen in this combat--has opened . a vo luntary subscription, the produce of which is to be applied to the relief of those widows and orphani who.are in most necessitous circumstances. This lautlablegenerosity,,.which-egnally animates the nó:- ble bosoms of the natives of Biscay, is an indication of that patriotic affeaion which pervades every rank alfd tver:,T individual in the Country, all of whom-are warmed and influenced by similar sentiments of cott passion ; for all are aduated with the same resolUr tion, to attain for us a peace advantageous and per manent. •In these f l espeds, every heart is pene trated with , patriotisni ; all of us concur in advanc.; ing the - glory, and prosperity of the Country, and all of us breathe but one wish, which is, that we may, by unanimous and uniform - exertions,, more and more invigorate the never-failing valour of our wor thy defenders. . The Government.has, with,this view ; madedis positions which will prove still more formidable and astonishing than the firstrespeaable Armaments; and thatwe - may all co.-operate in the re-equipment of a new and powerful Naval force, nothing is want ing but to give-a proper direction to the energies of . the whole massnmassi of the Spanish - People.

This piCture is net new in the history of this nation. - It has been handed dOwn from age to age; and the most remote-posterity will look back, with pleasing adniiration, on that patriotism and celerity wherewith, 'a few years after the destru&ion of the Grand Armada fitted out by our King D. Pin LIP 11. all good Spaniards contributed. to.the equipmerit of that formidable Fleet whiCh covered the Spanish marine with glory at the battle of Lepanto.. All v. , aS due to the alacrityand ardent zeal with which,anxious' to re-conquer the national renown, and to repair the damage sustained by the Royal. Navy, s the worthy patriots of all ranks came forward to 'Otter assistance in money, eire&s, or stores, in completing an ar mament destined' for the defence of Religion and the State. Gifts of the greatest and of the smallest de nomination facilitated the exertions of the Govern ments and even the poorest day labourers presented, with pleasure, some Of them' hemp 'and timber; some of 'them .tar, and o th er productions of the sweat of their brow. The artizans deposited in the . arsenals ; nails, cordage, sails, and all the Other ar ticles : requisite for thes equipment of the new- Fleet. Every heart Concurred in ahappypatriotiCco-opera lion, and even the pooreSt was able to make some small :offering, in order to invigorate .the springs of the COmmon Weal. Never did Spain glow with more ardent transports of patriotism than, at this moment. All—all to a man—are anxious to contribute. to the common wel fare, the national 'glory, and to' frustrate the unjust aggressions of our enemies. Let there revive in one and all of us, our immemorial and neVer-failing con= stancy in bearing up against unavoidable reverses and speedily we - shall. see our efforts crowned with glory and success against a People who are the dei. stroyerS of our happiness. Etery class of the Na tion feels an interest in it,. and in co-operatina in every thing which can add to the vigour of our Royal Marine. ' :This constitutes the support Of , our ,Mer= cantile Marine : on both depend the prosperity of commerce, and the increased 'circulation of money from these result the diminished interest' of capiL tal ; and, from the. whole combined, the preserva tion and encouragement of our trausmarine posses= sions, the enrichment arid general individual ness of the great and small Proprietors, the increased trthe-revenu.-s of ecclesiastical bodies, and otter in numerable benefits, extending to every 'indiVidUal, whether employed' in agriculture, manufaaures, or my other branch tit - iustry. ; .not .excepthig, even the aieanest cottage, : rospority of every.condi . tion being twat of the State, and the success of. its arms • Our Gove 'its wisdom, is aliVe . to all these , :ons:derations.
