his son, where the pint ae.tinst the life and
crown of his Sovereign is first unfolded to him,
his ezpressior,s of ahlio-recce of the treason, though
the king had deeply ;nj,tred him, received the

reward the exertions of this excellent :Our.—
Mrs. .lett,.tott. as Anselro,a, was extrem ly in-
teresting. She pot rticulArly excelled in the scene

and the conspirators. where she delays them until
etc t. igle sounds. In the boisterous part of Carmel.,

" After a very dangerous passage, of thirteen
days, we arrived safe here. One transport, whh
troops, is entirely missing ; annshrr went upon the
sands, but the troops were all saved, and we hope to
find that the other has arrived safe in the Weser.
The weather is dreadful, and the coast abounds
with shoals and sands. "Phis day we landed at
Cuxhaven, dined, and are just returned on board
Part of the troops will de'iark to-morrow morning,
and match immediately for Bremen, which place, I
believe, will be our head-quarters. The Guards
follow on Thursday—l susped we shall accompany
them. We hope that the King of Prussia has at
last adopted a decided course Indeed, we have
every reason to presume it ; as, otherwise, we could
not proceed upon our match through the country
we are going into. I sustwet I shall see a little
more of Germany, and p‘rhaps Holland, than you
did in your snmmer's tour. I only- pray to be kept
out of a French prison ; I would much sooner be
shot dead, than experience French mercy'.

" We sailed, 52 ships. from Cork, but encountered
a storm in our voyage. The morning after, there
were not two ships to be seen together ;in two days
we got in with the Cominodore and mire of the con-
voy, and put into Falmouth, where we remained
ten days, waiting for the wind. We then sailed,
and were two or three days at sea. We were oblig-
ed to put into Portsmouth in a.rothrr gale. The
4rd, nt transport with 300 men and 12 officers of the
6th regiment. and another, with an equal number,
parted company in a dreadful gale. shortly afte-
we left Cork. AU this time these two ships were
inissing, and we concluded that they were tikeir
by the enemy on the let inst. We again put to sea,
for the Downs, where, thank God, we arrived s rfe
this moroing, at eight o'clock; And, at nine, to the
great astomshmeit of every one, saw the two
transports, that w-re missing, coming in. They
had fortunately wade Twbay.
" I understan,l, since we cam: here. that some
setter arrangement will take p!ace. for our accom-
modation on board, previous to our sailing for Ilan.
