A frigate arrived at Yarmouth, on Wednesday
eveni g, in it days, from Gottenburg. One ac-
ount calls h.sr the Ariadar, another the Crescent.
Three packets sailed at the same time, under convoy
of the Gallant gun brig. The weather proved so
tempestuous, that the frigate was Tve times obliged
to par back—the last time with the Liu of almost all
her sails, which she replaced with those of a Swedi.ls
Indiaman. The NeSON packet, one of those which
sailed with the gun-brig, arrived at Yarmouth, on
Thursday. TI elPt,ers and papers in the Mail which
she has brought, come down to the 10th instant, in-
clusive, but co stain no news of any interest. We u
ilerstand, however, that Government have receive,
by this cenviance, disratches of importance. A re-
port prevaiie.l, yesterday, towardsthe closeof the mar-
ket, that they arm-once Aust. A MAD DLCLA Rae
WAa AOEINST FRANCE. this report obtained a
considerable degree of credi:, and the ow lure rose
two pa cent in consequence. The pains which
%NAT ANTE had taken to make the world believe
that he was upon the most friendly footing with
Austria, betrayed his fears of that power. Het
interests, the wounds inHiCted upon her by France,
and the aelivity of her military preparation.,
would induce an ordinary observer to conclude
that Austria was only waiting for an opportunity
to declare war against France. That opportunity
appears to have at length arrived, and the
Emperor JOSEPH may now aft that part which
the King of PRLIsSIA was so much censured
for decliniag in the late war. Indeed, he is impell-
ed by rill stronger motives. He knows, that, in
the event of the success of the French, Austrian
Poland will be wrested from him. He sees the
French army thinned by disease, while discontent
and insurreation are spreading throe ;h the country
in its rear. Its different parts of Gamany, and
particularly in Hesse, the disbanded troops are
taking up arms, and one common sentiment of
hatred to France pervades the people. We
must,. however, observe, that as these circum-
stances prepared the public mind for a rupture be.
tween France and Austria, the report of such an
event, as having actually taken place, may have
grown out of its probability. Indeed, it was con-
sidered, last night, in some of the best informed
circles, as a mere stuck jobbing expedient, yester-
day being a settling day at the Stock Exchange.

I.ord Attcutaitt.o HAMILTON gave notice, last
night, in the House of Commons, cf a Motion on
Moniay se'nnight, upon the l'hitd Report of the
Commissioners of Military Inquiry.

Mr. Fox, in the last Session, complained, that the
late Ministers, on leaving Office, told the public too
much, and cher s•uccessors too little. This com-
plaint appears nix to have been made withnut cause.
A paper, which ought to have been left in one of the
public offices, was producs last night in the House
of Commons, from Mr. Rosa's pocket. The
CHANCILLOR of the Excnectuart lot !RYLAND,
struck with this exposure, was induced to complain,
that he had not found a scrap of paper for his di-
ration, on his entrance into his office.

By accounts from Bengal, of the 22 I July, 180 G,
the tophrsurs. from Penan;7, had arrived there, and
parted from the Northairidertasid the day before;
the Cateatia had got out of Dock, been on shore,
and would be obliged to go into Dock again.-

This being the first day of Hilary Term, the

pro: .scion, and after the accustom-id ceremonii.is,
repaired to their resperStiVe Courts.
The proper Olfi:er attended this Court. and made
the usual rtturn, upon oat's, of the state of the Ski.
veral convi is under siant.ence of tranaportatiou, on
!laird the Hillts at litoolwicis, Portsmouth, and
Langston Harbour. They were reported to be in
a state of good heal h, kept to hard labour, and de-
prived of the use cf strong or spiritui.us liquor:,
exceat in a medicinal way.
The Coutt was occupied for near two hours in
the justification of hail. Near 10d persons justified ;
the sums, in general, were very trifling. the large•(
not exceeding 5001.
Tilt ICING 0. VAMTnt M.
Mr. Gas Row applied for a role to chew cause
why the Prosecutor, Mr. John Crllins, should not
pay the' Defendant's costs, wilach he had been put
to, on account of this prosecution. He stated, that
the Prosecutor had commenced an anion against
the Defitndant, which sea:: t:ftcrwards referred to ar.
bitratoos, and the Defendant examined upon oath ;
in consequence of which, an 1 niiLment oas pt-e-
-ferred against him for perjury, at the followiiig
Quarter sessions, and just at the moment the De-
fendant was ready for trial, the Prosecutor removed
it, by certiorari, into this Court. The cause was
then set down for trial at Guildhall, upon the last
S ittirday, during the last Sittings. The Defendant
had delivered his briefs, and had no less than slit.
teen witnesses in waiting, when the trial, upon the
Prosecutor's application, was put off until the fol-
lowing Monday. The Prosecutor then withdrew
his record, ant the cause was never tried. It was
further sworn, that the Prosecutor had frequently
declared his determination to ruin the Defendant,
at any risk. From whence it was trident, that
the prosecution was commenced from the most ma-
licious motives, and he trusted the Court wculd see
it in that point of view.

The Court was of opinion. that the facts stated rtt
b:•half of the Defendant might be better urged upon
en anion for a malicious prosecn ; however, as
it was a question worthy consideration, a condi-
tional Rul:. was granted.
CRIMINAL INFORMATION.
Sir VICAR Y Giass applied for leave to file a cri-
minal information against Mr. John Not, one of
the Overseers of the Poor, in the Borough of Pen-
rhyn, in the county of Cornwall, for improperly re.
fusing to rate one person, and rating another for
electioneering purposes. In the month of July last,
one Vincent Martin applied to he rated, and the
Overseers knowing on which side he intended to
vote, upon the ensuing ilenion, of their own autho-
rity, they took no them to rate him according to the
former year; immediately after, a Mr. George
Travers applied to be rated also, in order that ve
might have a vote upon the ensuin& elani3n—but
the Overseers having some &Wit with respect to
the party he meant to espouse, Mr. Pigot told him,
if he voted as their side, be should be rated ; but
Travers declining to give any answer, Mr. Pigot re-
fused tb appoint the rune.
I'he Court, accordingly, granted a Rule to .1 ew
cause.

We yesterday announced the arrival of the A le7•
dadtr ifiradton. Captain CALLAHAN, at Liverpool.
from Savannah, which place she left on the 25th
December, with an account that an American had
arrived at Charleston from Buenos Ayres, with an
account of the re-capture of that colony, The Li-
verpool paper, received yesterday, give, the follow-
ing particulars:—
" Captain Cat.LAII AM states, that just as he wat
"about to sail for Europe, Mr. SCOTT, a gentleman
well known in this town, and who had gone out pas-
senger with him, arrived from Charleston, and in-
humed him that an American vessel had reached
that port from Buenos Ayres, the master of which
reported, that Buenos Ayres was retaken by the Spa-
niards, that an embargo had been laid on all the
vessels in the harbour , and that in a gale of wind the
American ship cut her cable and run for Charleston.
Mr. Scary informed Capt. C. that he had made
it his business to see the Captain of the American.
and interrogated him minutely on the sub-
jeet, and that his report had left no doubt of tile
tag. The above vessel passed through the British
ships, which were lying off and on at the mouth of
the River. The re-capture of the place, it is far-
ther said, has been effefted by the Natives, and that
our troops have suffered most .everel.:/." A lever
from Greenock, dated the `2oth, received this morn-
ing, announces the arrival of an American ship
from Savannah, in twenty-five days; but we do not
learn that she heard the above report.
