A Treasury Journal of yesterday says:-44 It
has been asserted that Mr. Rosa, jan. who is on
the point of setting out on a special mission to
Ame. ica, is to have 4,0001. a year during his Mis-
sion, and that be is to have a pension of 4,0001. a
year on his return. The fat is, that in this as in
the CAS, of special missions generally, not one shil-
ling will be paid to the Minister beyond 0-e expens-s
•dually incurred by him upon such mission, and
that he will not have the slightest claim to a- y
pensioner allowance on his return."—We are really
very happy to learn that gentlemen consider the
honour of these appointmepts sufficient comven.a.

The hospitals of this place are lull of sick and
wounded French. who arrive here nightly by wag-
gons full ; as also at Majdeburgh ; the doors of
the hospitals are closely shut, and no one allowed to
enter, or come out. Contagious Fevers, and the
White Flax, prevail to that degree among the
French, in Germany and Poland, that thousands of
them have already fallen victims! and thousands
more will probably share the same fate ! Their
troops in Mecklenburgh, Sax-ny, and other parts,
are also laffeaed with a similar disease. From
Hamburgii, Franconia, &c. a number of Physicians
have been put in requisition, in order to be sent to
Poland, to attempt to stop the progress of those dis-
eases, which continue to make the most dreadful ra-
vages. From Russia we learn, that Field Marshal
Count Kamenskoy had been invested with the Chief
Command of the Russian Army, for which purpose,
he has received the most extensive powers. The
Rus.sian armies, on the frontiers of Poland, amount
to near 350,000 men, which number will be con-
siderably enlarged by the month of January. The
exchange of Couriers between St. Petersburgh,
Stockholm, Copenhagen, and Konigsberg, is now

have received orders to hold themselves in readiness
to march at a moment's notice, and cannon has been
mounted on the sea batteries at Copenhagen, and
the fortress of Cronenburg ; at the former place
the number of guards has been doubled, and six
or seven sail of the line, will, it is be l:tcd out
for sea ; in the meanwhile our Court employs every
exertion to maintain its neutrality, although it is
known that the French are fitting out every mer-
chantman they find in the Prussian ports, to hinder
the free trade of the Baltic ; to secure which, and
maintain the pass of the Sound, are the objects of
the above-mentioned armaments.

MUTINY BILL:

Viscount HOWICK rose.and said, that be hid
inrmerly given notice, that he would this day mire
a clause in the Mutiny Bill, relative to Catholics
legally having commissions in the army, but it had
since occurred ro him, that the provisions he bad in
view to propose, should more prnperiy be the sub-
jed of a separate Bill. He should, therefore, with-
draw that notice, for the impose of moving a sepa-
rate Bill upon this milled, tomorrow. He begged
leaves at the same time, to notice an additional
point, which might. possibly attract some attention.
On further consideration, he thought it advisable
to elegisd the permission to be granted in the Bill
he alluded to, to the naval as well as the military
ureic:. (liar! lied? He appreheuded that it
would be more convenient to go into the Corn-
' mittee, pro from?, upon the Mousy B 11, and to pass
through those clauses which could not be objedion-
able, aad afterwards to re-commit it. The House
would see the necessity of proceeding in this business
as speedily as possible.
Mi. YORKK said, he was exceedingly happy to
end, that the Noble Lord had taken the step which
he had jaw Dow proposed ,in regard to the new
clauses, of which he had formerly given notice.
With respea to the proceedings upon the Mutiny
Bid, he had only to observe, that if there were no
material amendments or alterations in its pro-
'sions, he had no objeftions to state ; but if there
were any, h- should move that the Rill be printed.
The SECRETARY at WAR gave the Right
Hon Gentleman to understand, tl at there were no
alterations in the Mutiny bat fro.n former years. He
tberetire should move the order ut the Uay for going
into a Commute !span it.
The House accordingly went into a Committee,
and on its tetimitAtt, the Repot t was received, and

about E years of age, of the name of WilliacArxeras
killed upon the spot. He was dressed la uniform,
and was bootad and spurred.
_We understand
ha belonged to a regiment of Siagoor. The
water is about two feet deep, with, l'Ttiaft
bottom of mud, about two feet mere. I,(lr.ther
he was suffocated in the mod, or Vlted by a blow,
cannot be ascertained. When dragged out of the
water, he appeared to have received a very violent
contusion on his forehead. The body was conireyead
to the Duke's Head publiashoese in llelfont, where
an inquest will he held upon it this (lay. In the
inside of the coach were four fern Ars, the wife of
the deceased, her maid. a Swiss Governess belong-
ing to a Gentleman resident in Davis-street, Bet Itelry-
square, and another Lady. 'rimy all narrowly
escaped drowning. Nothing but the speedy assist-

also tan to tl.e spot upon the first alarm. The soldiers
were particularly eater. They leaped into the wa-

with one of the horses drowned, and the rest kicking
and plunging vi•slently. The inside passengers
twet* bruised, but not dangerously, they. were soon
