LONDON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 31, 1 806. • THE arrangements for the New Administration were not completed yesterday:, as was expe&ed difficulties haVe arisen' which the two leading Par ties, however willing,' have not been able to over come. Lord GRENVILLE yesterday morning sent .off an Express to Windsor, to state that he was hot prepared to submit the Plan of an Administration to t HiS MAJESTY -, yesterday, but that he hoped he Should be ready this day.. His MAJESTY, however, and Family, came to town yesterday, and will, the _believe, remain until this most important subje& is Eilany settled. Various causes have been assigned for the 4elay which has taken place, but we do not pre tend to be in possession of accurate information upon the subjea. It is said that Lord GRENVILLE and Mr. Fox are each of them desirous of having a majority of, their Friends in the Cabinet.. The proposed intro . cluaion of Marquis WELLESLEY into the -Cabinet has also, it is said,'created some difference between the Parties. We believe, hOwever, that one of the chief causes of the delay is, that an answer has not yet been received from Lord MOIRA, who is at pre sent in Scotland, and who, it is said, has been offered a Seat in the Cabinet. LAST night we received the Hamburg' C'orrespon denten of the 14th, 15th, ,17th, and 18th instant, which anticipate two of the Hamburgh Mails, those due on Sunday and Wednesday se'nnight. • The intelligence which these Papers contain tends -strongly to cwifirm what we recently predieted re lative to the intentions of France respeeting the Turkish 'Empire. 'Private letters from Vienna are .quoted as an authority fora rumour, that sixty thousand French Troops, under the command of {General MARMONT, were to join the Austrians and 'take possession of Bosnia and Servia for the. Emperor : FRANCIS. These kind of rumours have . lately'been u..tlai forerunners of soine new attack made .by France upon the States of Europe, and this re port, thus announced, coupled with the former statement, that Austria was to be indemnified in the East, leaves no doubt that a long period' will not elapse before an attempt is made to sever Bosnia and Servia from .the Ottoman Empire. Has then the Emperor FRANCIS so soon forgotten the wrongs he has suffered from the Ruler of France ? has he already consented to become the Colleague and Co adjutor of BONAPARTE in an unjustifiable coalition, the only exciter'of whith is lawldsS ambition—its only obje& plunder ? We fear the answers to these questions must be too truly in the affirmative. The French Troops appear, to be marching to'those points from whence a great and immediate ,impression can be made upon the Turkish Provinces. MASSENA remained with a formidable Army in ' the Ve netian-. Territories; whither , NEY'S was also marching. The latter was pkobably intended •to occupy Dalmatia. From these points the FrenCh Troops may easily pour into the Provinces of Turkey. It is not to be supposed that Russia will look quietly on and see the Turkish Empire dismembered: Be fore a few months have elapsed the Russians will probably 'be combating the French and Austrians in the Provinces of Turkey. BONAPARTE thus suc ceeds, not only in embroiling AuStria and Russia, but in rendering the former Power, his instru ment in executing his designs upon Turkey ; designs which, we are convinced, are of much, greater magnitude, than has been hitherto sup posed, but which, w e t rus t,. w ill be frustrated by the exertions of Russia, who, there is no doubt, will oppose ally attempt to destroy or diminish her influence in Turkey, or to dismember any of its Provinces, with the whole force and , power of her Empire. .Considerable divisions of French Troops appear- to, be, spreading themselves in the Upper Palatinate and the territory of Hesse Darmstadt, but for what pnr., pos-.3 it is not easy gt present to guess, AU the Al lied Forces in Hanover were to have quitted that • - territory before the end of the present month. .The Swedes were falling back upon Pornei - ania, and a number of transports had beenicolleared for the con veyance to this country of the British Troops. It is still supposed, and with great probability, that some secret Articles of considerable. importance to the rest of Europe were added, to the Treaty of , We shoold not be surprisA L. , find that one, of them related to thei intended attack upon the Turkish Empire. A total cb:.n:.Te took place in the . Austrian: Ministry the day lo.2fore the . Treaty was signed. . Presburgh. The principal inhabitants of Naples were griitting that City and retiring to 'Sicily, whither the-Royal Family would doubtless speedily repair, and 'in the possession of which they may probably be main tained by, the assistance of this Country. Naples must of necessity fall a prey to France. 'The. death of Count Woaoi;zow, the. Russian Minister, is confirmed by intelligence from St. Peters burgh of the 28th ult. CZERNI, who has been long in rebellion against the Porte, is stated to be at the head of 100,000 Ser- BONAPARTE will readily know in what man ner to make use of this man to serve his own pur poses. vians. Yesterday, about twelve o'clock, THEIR MAJES TIES arrived in their travelling carriage from Wind sor, followed by the PRINCESSES in twa, other car, tx riacres attended by Ladies CRAN LEY an d S YDNEY . I • About two o'clock His MAJESTY gave an audience to Lord HAWKESRURY, which continued for a con siderable time,—ElS MAJESTY slept in town; and Will continue to do so during his stay in London. The ROYAL FAMILY are expeeted to remain in town till next Friday. Marquis CORN.WALLIS lost his life by making an excursion into the interior of the country, • through the oppressive heats of the day, which brought on what is termed the Jungle fever, that proved so vio lent as 'to carry him off in three days. Sir GEORG E BARLOW was far advanced on his journey to Ghauzepore, to join.the Marquis CORN WALLIS, when he was met by Mr. ROBINSON, who acquainted him with the death of . Marquis CORN.. WALLIS. The Government of Bengal now consists of Sir ROBERT BAELow,.Govemor General ; Mr. UDNEY, First in Council; General LAKE, Second in Coun cil • and Mr. LITMSDEN, Third in Council. Mr. UDNEY, in the absence of the. Governor-Ge neral, is appointed by him with full powers to a6t as Vice-President. An uncommonly numerous assembly of Bramins was convened at Banares in September last, in order to form a Deputation to Marquis CoEsTWALEis,:to solicit his protection and redress respeCting some an tient privileges, which bad been incroached upon by some of the-Native Chiefs. The death of the Go vernor-General has thrown a gloom over the Upper Provinces, where he had conciliated the' esteem of all ranks of people. INDIA-HOUSE.—Yesterday a Court of Direetors was held for the purpose of reading the Advices ceived from Bengal by the Medusu Frigate. The Court came to an unanimo us agreement to wear mourning for one month, in compliment to the memory of ,the deceased Marquis CoENwAws, to - commence on Sunday nest.

HARDY, Lord NELSON'S First Captain at the Battle of Trafalgar. The LORD MAYOR, in a neat speech, delivered - into the.

Mr. beputy But cll gave notice, that at the next Court he should bring lOrward a ,Motion for ere&ing a MonuMent in Guildhall to the memory .of the Rt Hon. MTN.

GREENOCIC,'..JAN. 27.—Friday morning a tremen dous gale of wind came on from the S.*. ; all the outward-bound Ships at the tail of the Bank drifted considerably ; the June, SERVICE , for Antigua, was driven on shore a little to the north of the Hill of ArdmOte, and it was feared was bilged, but we are happy to hear she has sustained no, great damage.— The Ships Faaor,Birnzingham Packet, and North ern Friends broke loose from the East, tluay, and ran foul of the Sofilzy, when they all grounded ,on the Bank ; they are since got off without damage. • A Sloop is said to have sunk. near the Line, name unknown. The Hawke, O'MAY, bound to Lisbon, was obliged to cut one cable and slip the other, in Rothesayßay,during the gale, to prevent her driving on ,the Point of Towart she has now got into this Harbour in safety. Our Rothesay Correspondent writes, that in the very violent gale of Thursday night and Friday Morn , ing; four of these Sloops, the thamony, „Mary , Mar qaret and Mount-Stuart, wexe driven out of the Harbour. The Harmony went ashore 'on the Cowal stie, near Auchenwilline . : the Mary near the To wart Point; neither of them are supposed to have sustained much damage.. The Margaret also went ashore on the Point, is bilged, her keel destroyed, and will, it is feared, be a complete wreck. The Mount-Stuart.drifted out inio the Frith, and nothing was known of her on Saturday at mid-day. The John; CUMMING, mentioned some time ago as wrecked on the Isle of Bute, to East of Mount Stuart, was got off on Thursday, and carried a little farther up. She rode securely in deep water on Sa turday, and only Waited the first favourable wind to bring her to this port: Extraa . of a Letter from an Officer on board the Baring, dated'St. Helena, 22. d Dec. received by the Medusa Frigate :--, On the uth of November, off the Cape, spoke an American, who informed us of Admiral LlNcos, with the Marengo and Belle Poule, intending to sail the next day in search of us, havirg received intelli gence of our coming, from an American, from Ba tavia, which had passed through the Fleet. " The Commodore altered the course immedi ately, and declared his intention of steering for the Brazils, instead of Sr. Helena. “: The same evening we lost the Fleet, and arrived here the 2d instant, ,as did also the .dirly Castle, which had likewise lost the Commodore the 12th November. Five days previous to our coming here, a Ship of the Line and a Frigate passed the Island. An Amer rican, from the Cape, says, the French Admiral left Table Bay the 9th of November,• intending to cruize off St. Helena six weeks, and then to go to the direr Plate. The Atalante French Frigate is lost at th c . .pe of Good Hope. We are detained here for convo.y.'!. R. ALDERALiN SKLVIVER. It has been justly observed that, under the happy influence of the British Constitution, talents and in dustry. can rise from the humblest origin to opulence and distinction, without any fear of falling vietims to the jealousy or rapacity of power. Mr. SKINNER, who has recently dropped into the grave, is a strik ing illustration of the truth of this remark.. He be gan life, as he made. no scruple to acknowledge, under• circumstances that by no means promised Wealth or consequence; but by-integrity, diligenCe, and perseverance, he acquired a•very large fortune, and rose" to the highest civic honour in the first Capital of the world. He was originally an Up,. bolsterer in Aldersgate-street, but possessing abilities above the confined sphere of such an employment, he adopted the profession of an Auctioneer, for which his previous business in a great degree quali fied him, and in which he had an opportunity of shewing a liveliness and humour in the rostrum which soon brought him into notice. His connec tions rapidly increased, and for the last forty years he had so much business that he became possessed of considerable property, and was so well-known that he was thought worthy of the highest dignities in the power of the City to bestow. He was indeed called by the voice of his fellr.v CiCzens successively to the offices of Sheriff, Alderman, and Lord Mayor, in all of which capacities he conduaed himself witlz such plain, good sense and impartiality 'as fully justi.. fied his elevation. It would have been an easy matter for. Mr. NER to have become one of the Representatives of the City of London, but hp. knew how to set li mits to his .ambition, and was content to exert his influence in favour of his friends. He was a staunch Whig in his political opinions, and was a great admirer of Mr. F ox b e f ore t h e French Revolution disturbed the happiness of mankind. We .know not whether his admiration was lessened by 114 r., Fox's well-known eulogiuni on that' lamentable event. In private life he was hospitable, generous, and humane; and always dis posed to assist the unfortunate. It is a proof of a social, affable, and friendly nature, when a mart ac quires a familiar appellation among his immediate connexiongthat indicates a'common sentiment .of kindnesS .; and tipon this principle the stbjeerof our present notice has always been distinguished, since he became. known in , life,. by the designation of " honest Tom SKINNER." ' EAST-INDIA INTELLIGENCE. The last advices from India mention, that the De vonshire and Charlton were appointed to sail from Bengal the 15th of December, for Madras, to fill up. The Surry, . Walpole, and Lord Duncan, were to sail the lath of February from Bengal, to join the other Ships at Madras. The Ceylon, Preston, and Phcenix, were about to take their departure for Bombay. The Calcutta and Castle Eden were to sail the 10th of November for Bencoolen. The General Stuart and Carmarthen were to sail for Eng land on the loth of November. The Metcalf; IsAAcs, had arrived from Bombay. Sir ROBERT BARLOW was left Governor-General of India, for the time being, in the room of Mar quis Coittn,vALLts, deceased. Sir ROBERT was en tirely in the confidence of the Marquis, and priyy to all his Lordship's plans", which, it is said, he mean to pursue until a successor arrives. The Marquis's health w as v i s ibl y on the- decline 'before he quitted the Ship in which he took his passage out; and before he , had been many days on shore, his appetite. failed him, and he grew daily progressively worse to the ,time of his decease. He was perfe6tly aware of his approaching dissolution some time prior to its taking place, and employed his declining strength in forming arrangements for the guidance of Sir ROBERT BA4LoW, until the ar rival of a successor regularly appointed by Govetth merit. • • - CooKE, the A&or, is so much indispoSed that it is said to be doubtful whether he will - recover..— He possesses so much sterling merit in - his' art, that it is to be regretted that he -should be so-negli gent of his health, for the Stage, in , its prekat state, cannot well spare so good a Performer. Mr. POPE has, it seems, renewed his engagement at Covent-garden Theatre; but' though he resumes the sock and the buskin, 'he is, we find, too to relinquish the pencil, in which it is but justice to say, that his talents are not less distinguished.. . • On Monday the 2. d battalion of the 83d Reginxent Marched from Chichester to Bognor Barracics ; and the ad battalion of the Ist, or - Royals, marched into Chichester Barracks from Bognor and Aldwick: On Monday a detachment of the i ath Voot march- . ed into Southampton to do duty, in the room of the detachthent of the 2d, or Queen's, who marched to• Winchester. - At Monmouth Fair, on Friday last, there was a large show of cattle, but very few prime beasts.
