Nothing could exceed the conduct and gallantry
of this enterprioc, in which our loos was Is killed,
and 55 wounded, Lieutenant Taitt, of the Volux-
taire, and Mr. Caldwell, Master's Mate of the it-
gre, are the only officers killed ; Lieut. Tailour
himself only was among the wounded.
O: the whole, therefore, of this squadron and

convoy, only one of the larger frigatea, which got
into Marseilles in the night, and one of the smaller
(a store-ship, which has not yet been heard of) have
escaped ;,as, altho' the Barre, of 74 guns, and the
frigate, got under protection of the batteries at Cette,
the Admiral thinks they must go to pieces. Lord
Co a LI/IC/WOOD, after detaching eight of his fastest
%ailing ships on the above enterprise•, stees,ed a
southerly direction, with the remainder of his fleet,
:it hopes of falling in with some more of the enemy;
taut the remainder of the Toulon fleet continued in
port, and his Lordship returned to his station off St.
Sebastian, from which the Philuntel, of 18 guus, was
dispatched to England, with the lion. Lieutenant

We have received American Papers to the Seth
of October, from which we have extracted a Mili-
tary Order, chewing, that. in consequence of the
refusal of the British Government to ratify Mr.
Easatisx's arrangement, steps were immediately
taken to put the militia upon a footing for active
service.

It is stated, in letters from America, that the
President has referent to recognise or receive the
Minister who had arrived there from Spain, as Re-
presentative of King FEILDINAND. His Excel-
lency Don Lours de Oats, Minister Pleuipoten-
tiara• and Envoy Eurierdivary, sailed from Cadiz
on the 20th of A ugurt, and arrived at the quarantine
ground, at New -York, on the 3d of October. O or
uliout the <2.01h of the same month, it was intimated
to him, on the part of Mr.MADIsoN, that he would
nut be received. It is said, that he had determined,
notwithstanding, to remain in America, until Con-
gress feet, and to take tine sense of that body on
this extraordinary step of the Head of the Govern-
ment.

Letters have reached London from Holland to
the 19th, and from Emden to the 21st instant.
'Chose from the latter place mention, that several
ships had beea seized in the river Ems, laden
with British merchantlize but, con,' trruig the
precautions employed, we d0u1.4 the accuracy of
this account.

Vxxenss, at his own request, has been appoint-

The Sarpedon, convoying four transports, having
on board the ops belonging to the Duke of
BRUNSWICILA 1.3, amounting to about sixteen
hundred men aripted on the 22d at Guernsey
frosts l'ortanioltir ; they were disembarked in the
course of the day. The troops formed a motley
grnupe, consisting of sharp-shooters, pike-men, ca-
valr, infantry, &c. iot their various uniforms ;some
with arms and accoutrements, others destitute of
every military requisite, and their clothes very in-
different.

It is expected that the squadron on the Guern-
sey station will lie considerably reinforced, on ac-
count of the imuitber of the enemy's privateers that
infest that part of the Channel.
Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the
East India-llouse, when Capt. flexor lIALKETT

We usidentond that an information has been
filed against Mr. Congers., by the AT-roamer-
GorsaltAL, ex !Oda, for au article which appeared
some months ago in his Register. The article al-
luded to is, we believe, one of those in which Mr.

to suppress which, a party of the King's German
Legion was called in, speaks of the King's German
Legion as being introduced into this country toile,

The publication of Mr. C 4,11111101 Statement,
which appeared first in Tut GLOB& Newspaper of
Monday, ha. put us in possession of some further
elucidation of the new course adopted since the re-
cent changes. The arrangement proposed to Mr.
CAPIN I nu, for transferring to the Foreign Depart-
tncnt the correspondence with military officers tilling
a sort of demi-diplomatic missions, in allied coun-
tries, and, frequently, embracing mutter of georral
political relation, kiss been carried into effect under
the present Administration. It does not appear,
from Mr. CANNING.. statement, that this arrange-
ment was proposed by hnss ; but there is reason to
think that the inconveniencoes produced by the
clashing of the business of the War and Foreign
Department in this correspondence was frequently
complained of, and generally felt and aduiitted by
the Cabinet; and therefore, probably, it wrs
thought that an arrangeineut, %hie!' would correct
it, would he acceptable to Mr. CANNING. as. iu
fact, it appears to have been, so far as it went.
This is the arrangement, as we find in Mr. Call.
WING'S pamphlet, whirl. was purposed to Ma Ma-
JesTY, and sanctioned by lii. Royal approbation
but was subsequently abandoned for another plan,
and again reverted to, but not acted upon.

COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.

Last evening, the performances were The Exile,
and Is He a Prince y both of which were gime
through in the usual manner. Nothing occurred
to interrupt the quiet of the house till near the end
of the play, when a fellow, trouble:l with the hoe•p-
leg cough, Wall taken to Bow-street, whore Ina row-
plaint was nut so likely to he ribmarous to those
arouisd him. After this, several permits, who en-
deavoured to commence a row, were seized snit
carried out. This prompt conduct, on the pat of
the police, so intimidated the few desirous of tu,
mutt, that they became ,ilent. iq.l almost the whole
of the Afterriece was int.. dc. At the con-
clusion, three cheers for Lord *lunvwcood were the
only novelty, and the house 1.-: 1-(1 to peace.

In order that the public may not be deceived by
the gross misrepresentations, in some of the Papers
of Tuesday last, we have authority to state, that, of
the whole of the seven bills found in the Crown
Office, one only was for an assault, as well as riot,
the rest were against persons for wearing 0. P.
in their hats, springing rattles, walking up and
down the pit benches, duking, and committing
other scenes of riot and disorder. To mislead
the incautious, and bring the unwary ender
the most serious penalties of the law, appear
to be the object of the papers alluded to, of Tues-
day last ; or why state a gross falsehood, that
the whole of the bills rootlet by the Grand In-
quest, against the rioters in Covent-Garden Theatre,
were not for shot offence, but exclusively for as-
sault? Surely i.uch oracles cannot beam entitled
to the thanks of the Gentlemin 0. P.'s, whin it
is evident, that they care not how they mislead, it
they can but get by it their worth-lw penny!
At the Norwich Corn' Market on Saturday, there
