HARNVCA, FEB. I B.—The Au'iklanci Post-office Packet, Capt. BRIDGE, arrived this morning frbm Cuxhaven, with the Hamburgh and Bremen Mails. His EXcellency Count MuNsT • Ea and Suite, His Majesty's late Minister at HanoVer, With several British Officers, were PaSsengers. The Troops were all embarked when the Packet sailed, and the Fleet of Transports, consisting of about 200 Sail, under convoy of the Immortalitj Frigate, Capt. OwEN, and several other Men of 'War, were to sail the same day ; and as the wind has been fair ever since, their arrival may be expected every moment. The Aimwell and Aggressor Gun-vessels sailed for their stations; and the Charger, with the Borer Gun-vessel, remains with the Hunter and Argus Cutters. PLYSTOUTH, FEB. 1 7.--Arrived L' 'flee Frigate from a Crnize ; the American Ship Ticonnick, Capt. PARSONS, from Amsterdam, in ballast; bound to Savannah, leaky; and the Brothers, Capt.

SHEERNESS, FEI3. 18.—The Falcon Sloop of War has a signal flying for a Convoy to the Elbe, Weser, Tonningen, &c. and is appointed to proceed thither with the trade from the Nore on. Thursday the zoth instant. DOVER,. FEB. 18.--Arrived in this Harbour the Charlotte Transport, No. 524, with 232 of the Ger man Legion (Cavalry), , having very nearly, - - this morning, .off the North Foreland, run foul of the Margaret Transport, whereby the bowsprit of the fot-mer was carried away and other damage done to ler. Six Serjeants, two Corp Orals, and thirty-eight. Privates of the 26th Regiment jumped from the Mar garet (fearing she was sinking) on board the Char dotte:—for4mately no lives were lost :—some of the 26th Regiment were hurt, but not materially. The 'Charlotte sailed from CuXhaVen the 2d instant. ' MR. PITT's FUNERAL. Tat Heralds College, the Board of Works,' and the. Gentlemen belonging to the Lord Chamberlain's \ Office, severally received their instrations on Mon (lair. last from His MAJEsTY.' EaCh department is now aaivelyemployed in forwarding the preparations. The Board of Works completed the hanging of the Painted Chamber yesterday afternoon. The Wad: cloth covers the walls entirely, and extends to the cieling of that lofty apartment; wherein it is placed twelve feet higher than when thelate Lord CHATHASI lay in state there. The canopy (the form of which is nearly square) has a festooned drapery of black cloth, and is about eighteen feet in height; The -escutcheons, with the arms of the family of PITT, without supporters or crests, were placed yesterday, about noon, . against the Walls on the right and lea. Between each of these heraldic ornaments were af fixed, alternately . , silver sconces, each with two laranches, supporting two wax lights; the number of 'these sconces amount to 'one hundred and shay.— They are placed in various situations besides those already mentioned, namely, over the doors _of tutrance,- and around the platibrm at the - upper end, where the body will lie in state. Within the tailed passage, round which the public . pass, an enclose circle, intended for the accommodation of the Peers and Commoners who may wish to see this part of the ceremony, They will pass in at the . principal door. The crowd will enter at the hew door on the left hand, and pass out at the one 'on the right. A doubt has arisen reapeCting the possi bility of the Causes at Nisi Prius being got through by the day, and an application, we hear, has been made to Lord ELLENI3OII6UGH on the' subjeCl. If the business - cannot be disposed of by this evening, some other passage than Westminster Hall must be thought of for the spectators to pass through in their way to the Painted_ Chamber. The Long Gallery, which communicates with that apartment,. was hung with black clOthyesterday. , The hours when the Public will be admitted to see the body lie in state on Thursday and. Friday, will be from ten o'clock in the morning until two in the afternoon. 'On the following morning (Sa turday) the funeral will certainly take place. All the persons who are to. form the procession, except the Mourners, are ordered to assemble in' Westmin ster Hall by eight o'clock in the morning. The Board of 'Works received orders on Monday last to ere& an inclosed railing from the Western Gate of the Abbey through the Broad Sanctuary, King-street, Union-street, and PalaceLyard, to West minster Hall. This-railing will take in, of the centre .cif the highway,. about twenty feet. It will consist simply of piled of wood driven into the ground at equal distances, and conneEted together by a' hand rail. The ground in this enclosure will be covered with gravel, disposed in the same manner as at Lord NELsoN'S funeral. Yesterday the carpenters commenced their opera tions,,which are exneeted to be completed early on Friday evening. The labourers will begin to unload the gravel about four o'clock 'on Saturday morning. Nothing has been done in the way of preparation in the interior of the Abbey, except opening the place of interment. No scaffolding, or any accom modation whatever for the spectators has, or will be 9rdered to be erected. Yesterday afternoon Mr.. MASH, - of the Lord Chamberlain's Office, ;rent down to.Putney to bring up the body. The coffin was put into a hearse about half past six o'clock, and brought to town in the most private manner. possiblei, and placed ,in the Painted Chamber upon- trussels, under the canopy. Several of the sconces were illuminated, and persons appointed to sit up with the corpse during the whole of last night. ; The . following Official Note was yesterday issued : " Lord Cbanderlain's gge,e, Feb.'lB, 1806. " Notice is hereby given, that the remains of the late Right Hon. W ILLI AM PITT Will lay in state in the Painted Chamber, in Westminster, on ThursdaY and Friday next, between the hours of ten in the morning and four in the al temmut. “. The Nobility, Members of the House of Commons, and other persons xvho attend the Funeral of the late Right Hon. W 11.14 AM PITT, on Saturday next, the 22d instant, are re— quested to Order their carriages to drive to Dean's-yard, West minster, and there wait till called for, uvon the Procession r eturning front the church." TILE FRENCH P~iP RSA ) AUGSBUR4H, JAN. 27.—The Garrison of Mu' rich, when it entered this place, had at its head the brave general Dtitoi.. ! All the colours were` decorated withlaurels;: at the instance of the Ma gistrates. Six thousand natavnin and WirteMburghian . Troops have, within these few.days, passed through. Donauwerth and Nieuburgh. Private letters from Vienna announce, that' the . Archduke PERDINAND has begun his march with .his Troops, reinforced by a part of the•Arrny of the Archduke CHABLy.s, towards the frontiers of Tur key. This movement alone has given birth to the report that they are going to occ-upy some of the Turkish Provinces bordering upon the frontiers of. the Austrian States. We read, in the same letters, that the first mis fortuyies'of the Russians in Mora Via are attributed to the Prince D'AUERSPERG, whose dismissal is de termined upon. The atThirs'at Hollabrun and Gun terSdorf are particularly alluded to, ' where, without regard to his instruCtions,, and being deceived by a pretended Armistice, he neglected to burn the Bridge of Tabor, near Vienna. The. French Official ; Journal has published a. List of the Swedish VesSels, brought into the French Ports since the commencement of the War. They are twenty-two in nuMber, fivd of Which have been carried into the Ports of the Allies. Besides the above, seven others have,been 4etainFd in the French Ports. Four English Vessels, with provisions for the Fleet stgtioned before Cadiz, have: - been taken, and brought into ihe Channel, .by a. Privateer 'from St. Maloes. One of them entered St. Maloes on the 30th -of January.; another is arrived at Lannion ; and the other two are at Morlaix. Their cargoes consist of butter, cheese, wine, brandy, beer, &c. • FRAN J.t.N.-e9:--The•General of 'Division' MSJARDIN s, commanding. the 7th . Corps of the Grand Army, arrived, here yesterday morning with his Staff, and a 'detachment of the 7th Regiment of Hoise ChasseurS. After having a cotiferenee with the Metnhers of the Senate, a Brigade of his troops • entered this, city, under Gen. LAt'issE, and went into cantonments. 'The appearance and discipline of these troops are Admired. . . The Privy Councillor-DE MALSBOURG has left Cassel for Paris, where 'he is to reside as the-Mini ster, of his Highness the Ele6tor of- HESSE. Ac c6rding to a German - 'Gazette,- large quantity of grain has been drawn from the Hessian magazines for the use of the Prussian Troops. The same Pa per states, that the sequestration put upon the States of the Prince of 'runt and TAXIS,. in the - Lbw' Countries, has been removed by order of the Empe ror of the French.' The RuSsian PrincesS_ BELosF.Lssicr, residing at Bayreuth, has not - only clothed and fed such Rus sian Prisoners as have ransomed themselVes, but furnished others who pasied that way with assist ance. - Having learned that many of these SOldiers were in the habit of passing through Hoff, without coming to Bayreuth, she has established a Com missioner at that place, to extend the benefits of her benevolence. FLORENCE, JAN. 21.—Yesterday afternoon we received letters from Rome, announcing the arrival of Marshal MASSENA there on the 17th. They state that the Russians, coming down from Naples, have traversed the marshes of Padria, to avoid the capital, and gain the port of Baja. The English take another route for the same purpose, and intend to embark at Castellamare. The same letter adds, that the Neapolitan Troops, stationed upon the confines, have received orders to make no resistance against the French ; a large body of whom had al ready passed under the walls of Ronie, pursuing their route through Albano, Tivoli, and Velletri, for the kingdom . of Naplet. ROUEN, FEB. 4.—The diocese of St. Brieux, five hundred thousand souls, should have seven hundred cures, but have a&ually scarcely live hundred ; one hundred and sixty Priests have died -in this diocese in the last two years; and the seminary has only thirty persons.who are 'dettined to take orders. Dur ing the last fifteen years scarcely any persons have taken orders in France. The 'Cardinal Archbishop of Rouen, in a pasto ral letter upon this subjed, observes--;-" Within; a few years the vast diocese of Rouen will be with out Priests. It is impossible to replace the ra vages made by death : many' of our fellow-labour ers have reached fifty years of age; many are be yond that period ; perhaps, very soon, our country places, and even our cities, will have nothing but a few Missionaries, wandering from' parish to pa rish, and effeding but little of what ought to be done." After exhorting his Clergy to exert themselves to the utmost to prevent these effects ; without them, he observes, the restoration of the worship of our fathers will be vain and illusory ; and without the establishment of a seminary, he adds, nothing will remain to the Church of Rouen but the bare edifices, and the regrets of the faithful. LYONS, JAN. 31.—This day Cardinal RUFF° passed through this City on his way to Paris. VIENNA, JAN. 24.--" His MAJESTY has confided the direction of Foreign Affairs to his Minister Count JOHN PHILIP STADION, formerly Ambassador to the Court . of Russia. HAmßuitcn, Fzl3. 11.—Letters from Hanover of the Bth inst. mention, that on the 7th the Re giment of the Duke of IRUNSWICK entered that City; and marched to Zell, where a Prussian Field Hospital had already arrived. The British Troops have evacuated Bremen, and have, for the most part, been re-embarked. A great desertion now prevails among his Majesty's German Legion. At the last Fair 800 of the Cavalry arrived at Bruns wick, Where they sold their horses and baggage, and then proceeded fArther. The Danish Minister of tate, BERNSTORFF, still remains at Berlin, upon Negotiations. In the night of the 7th inst. not less than six Couriers arrived or left Hanover on the part .of the British, Russians, and Prussians. The Hano . - verian Minister, Count MuNsTER, previous to his leaving that Country, published a Proclamation to the Inhabitants of the ,Eledorate, under date of the Bth inst. acquainting them of his departure, and ad vising every subjeEt not to make the least resistance against the measures that will bra taken, as it would only operate to their prejudice .without benefiting tire coun - try, as tiw Russian Army, now under the . c e ompalid ,pf tire King of Prussia, most-vit ti iile , &orate; and 'the 'British Trdops'llrt':dblige to - I obey the orders, they lately teetiveo for their em- i Y , .: es*rdaS . - a.Court of Common Council was lie4ci barkation: Lic . farther says, tliat the Swt:dish Army 1 i i n , ' , t i he_ i.T. - Couneil Chamber,, Guildhall, at which the iS in this manner left to itself; and,-„in_ i; apite:tif t.he I i.,g4J-I , oii. the Lord:Mayor presided. :There were most favourable views of its Most Aug,uSt Chief, ,I . a . 111 , : h e4ent .; 13 , Aldermen, -and nearly 200 Commoner's. could 01)1) defend _Tart', of the Ele(c,terate. agiiklit . 4 , ,i i :gamt.les A O! the', likCOUrt being read; Measure which France and Prussialadroncerted,in .1. . .e - EOll l ll ).;i0.1.t st:ated, that he had Convened Common.

He had taken - considerable • trouble taexamlne into.the,book.s,.and bad found a precedent in the year 1781, whiCh would etfeanally do away any,scruples on that head. The Motion had''.been made- with much Mildness 2nd-modera tione which, Hi f,161, had inaposo on the feAings : F tbeLourt, and the Address was voted. He was sorry to find that the same moderation ha:l not been priiatisedirrfratning the Address; on which 'acCotitit he thought it but right;•. as the greater part- of the Membersere not present when the Address, as framed,by the Committee, was agreed to, that the Coutt should now proceed.to take it into. considera tion. ..He then concluded by moving, as an Amend meat, ihatall the-words of: the Motion, after 'the word that,". be left our, and that there be inserted in their place,." that the Address be.now read, • for' the purpose of being re-considered." . . Mr: S. DIXON supported the amendment,:andein a very long and able speech, reprobated the idea of imposing on the Court by apparent moderation in the first instance, and then :framing an Address in the Committee, which - undoubtedly contained most exceptionable passages: - • 'Mr: Gittryrrit •Vas of opinion, that-,-as the Ad-- dress was framed and agreed to by the Cdurt, would be now the height - 01 - 11ilpiiipriety to 'enter into a discuisian •WitkrespeEt fa. its merits_ Mr. W j AITIIMAN called upon the Gentlemen not • to siiffer such' an underhand pra6tiee as the -preitetit be of any,avail with them. The-Motion ti .r an Address had. been made at the -hist Conrt. Aftei''slibtice of more-than ten days, the measure had been fairly' and openly discussed. The result of that discussion was, that the majority of the Members tinie present, were convinced of the propriety of address ing His Majesty ; and a Committee was therefore appointed to frame the ' Address, which was after wards agreed to by the Court. Some opposition cer tainly had been made by those who had, all along, disliked the measure ; but the 'majority of the Court, - 47 to 17, were of opinion, that the :Address, as drawn up by the Committee, should be presented to His Majesty. The worthy Gentleman then took occasion to observe on the.impropriety of endeavonr ing, by a side-wind, to overturn a measure which, in a fair and open attack, bad Withstood all 'their efirts. If the Court would' agree to' enter .in a discussion of this Address, it might he then pro posed, by the Gentlemen who were sb anxious to have this Meeting called, that the measure should • be entirely laid aside. There was no- security that this proposition would net be made; and, when he looked round and saw so full an attendance, thbugh, • 1 to his certain knowledge, all the Ntembers had not Yesterday, in consequence of a requisition , from some of the principal inhnitlibts of the Borough of Southwark, a Me - etint took place at pile o'clock, in the .-Town,Hall, St. Margaret's-Hi11... ;Elie t Chair *as taken by Mr. TowvsEiin,.Deputy Bailiff to Sir 'CATKIN LEIVES, Ni(tio, ftom indisposition, was un able to attend.

The Address was then moved by Mr. and seconded by Major FAVELL. Several persons afterwards spoke for and against the Question; but at length it was put, and carried unanimously.

THE THEATRE.—The Tragedy of Pizarro was represented last night at Covent-Garden Theatre, for the Benefit of Master BETTY, who performed the part of Rolla. There was nothing in his ading that discriminated it from his other performances. He received most applause in delivering the Address to the Soldiers.--This chargter is so admirably per formed by KEMBLE, that it would have been impru dent in the juvenile Actor to expose himself to so close a comparison, if it were not allowable to try something extraordinary on a benefit. He spoke an Address in the charader of a Sailor, at the end of the Play, complimentary, to British Tars, but containing the following line, which is a little too much in the mendicant style : • "*Think on My renderyears—protea me still:" The House was well attended, but by no means crowded. received summonses, he thought it,very ; probable, that something of that kind was inten4d. The • worthy Gentleman. concluded, by hoping,'.that, for the future, when such• underhand practices .were put into execution, the Officers of the. City should•: not be made the bearers of party notices. . Mr. QUIN declared himself in favour of Amendment. He said, that when the Addreip, drawn up by the Committee, was taken into consi deration by the Court, some parts of it were consi dered exceptionable by several Gentlemen. It was therefore moved, That the Address should be read, paragraph by paragraph but the'Metion wag nega tived, on the grounds of its being contrary to prac tice. A Motion waS.then made that one paragraph should be omitted, but that was also negatived ; so that, in tact, the Address was not considered, even in the slightest degree, by the Court ; he therefore' thought that they should now deliberate on it. Mr. SMITII expressed himself of the same opinion. • Alderman NEWNHAM Conceived, that as the Ad dress bad been to, and given into the hanr_ls o f one of His Majesty's Secretaries, it should not be altered, or undergo farther deliberation. • Alderman HANEY,though appointed on the Com mittee, was not able to attend it. • He corkeiYed tbat the .
