The d'sttirbances of the Gar and ith .Inly have
mad a great impression here. The Government is
o'•it -,et4 to take the greatest precautions to reston
tranqu tlity, and to keep down the seditious. Four
regirienta are to reinfi ice the garrison ; two are al-
ready arrived. The draw bridges are clearing, and
the means taken to increase the power of repellin.:
attack. The suburbs are still occupied by the
troops, and each inn has a guard. The cavalry keep
up the communication with the infantry, and twelve
officers of the Etat Major {welt the different pas:.
frequently. Since Wednesday last there has been
a Commission sitting to suggest the means of pot-
ting an end to our disquieting situation. Several
• persbns of all ages have been taken up. The Police
display an *Risky which they ought to have put in
praaice soone-. It is supposed that several persona
taken by will be hanged, and others punished with
owe or less severity.

The English have again purchased an immense
, quantity of wheat in the ports of the Baltic, and are
already employed in transporting abnnt 200,000
measures of corn, in English merchant vessels, from
Dantzic. Thom successive purchases seem to us an
insult to the misery of the people of the Eastern
parts of Germany, where the scarcity has alrea-
dy given rise to serious troubles One cannot
avoid grieving to see the neighbouring countries
delivered ap to the horrors of famine, whilst the
English magaai -,ts are re-gorged with the produc-
tions of those countries.

• : There was a great bunk yesterday at the Admi.
• saki, and ruinour was •i costrae 'task nekive.—h
was said, among various other reports, that Govern-
MOM had received fresh advices of the forward state
at preparations for invaglon, particularly in the
the Dutch ports. We received a letter from
Yarmouth which announces the arrival of ac-
counts from Admiral Russet.% squadron off the
Toast. He had captured a ship from Amster-
dam bound to Madrid, in ballast, having hurried

iway in order to avoid the embargo which was
boa* 'spelled to be laid on in the Dutch
poets, as mated in our paper of Monday. The
Admiral was informed 'by his prise, that the
Dutch were embarking troops in the Texel
in immense numbers, also a large quantity of artil-
lery and horses, with six months provisions, and other
necessaries, for a remote expedition. Admiral De
11171nraa's flag was flying in an 80 gun ship, and is,
with Admiral Eva A IC, to have the command. It
was expelled that the expedition would be ready to
sail about the beginning of the present week. The
troops consisted of French and Dutch.

We have received the Paris Papers to this
lath last. Bob; AAAAAA was still in that city, on the i
27th. Preparations were made for his reception at
Boulogne ; but the period of his departure from Pa-
was not knows. The Aluniteur, with an air of
mysterious reserve, says, " It will be a long time
before the English will hear of the combined Beet,
and when they do,hear of it. the yews will much
surprise them ;" insinuating, so doubt, that it was
the East Indies. We congratulate the M.-

which it does not deserve. This, however, is not
the only symptom of the present ill humour of the
French Governmesig, *III'found in the official
Journal!. It asserts.l a* large purchases of
corn by England upon al 'Continent have pro.
duced a scarcity in the North of Germany;
that the commercial facilities granted by Sweden
to England are of no value; and it boasts,
that by the regulations imposed upon Holland,
English ~..:rchandise has been excluded from
the Continent. In these sentiments we recog-
nise a spirit that only delights in making the na-
tions of Europe discontented with each other, and
is happy in proportion to the extent of misery in
which it can involve the world. The Cor-
sican only a few days since boasted that he
should annihilate this country. He now boasts, in
a strain- that the lowest English Custom-house
Officer would be ashamed of, that he has not only
stripped the Dutch, hut that he has happily prevent-
ed the importation of a bale of English broad cloth
to cloath their nakedness.

Dispatches have been sent off from the Admiral-
ty to Lord NZLSOIIt upon the supposition that he
has arrived off Ci.iiz. It is said, that he will con-
tinue the blockade of that port, and that Admiral
Cot. LINOW001:1.11' squadron will go into the Medi.
terranean.
Yesterday, a Court of Diredors was held at the
East India ,House, when the ship Lady Madinat
Sineletr, of 610 tons burthen, engaged by Govern-
ment to carry convicts to New South Wales, was
taken up to bring home teas from China.
The Court adjourned at five o'clock, till Wednes.

Letters received from the Dragon, 74 guns, Capt
Getrerrns, dated the 23d ult. off Cape Finisterre,
state her having been dispatched after a strange
sail, and rejoined Admiral Catnaa at the close of
Cie of ion—that the fog. was so great, could scarcely
di,cover friends from foes: had only four marines
blown up by accident, all of which will recover.
The St. Raphael, of 84 guns, is by far the finer
Spanish ship of the two prizes, and is almost a new
ship. El how, 74 guns, is about 30 years old, and
has had a thorough repair; in going up the har-
bour of Plymouth she ran foal of the Lapwing, 33
guns, and carried away pan of her head and bow-
sprit; but this will be soon repaired.
Apprehensions are entertained by some per-
sons, that the Combined fleet have not gone to the
Southward, but direely North, to get round Ireland
and Scotland into the North Sea. At any rate we
can assert, that there are strong grounds for believing
that this was contemplated by the enemy as a pos-
sible or contingent part of the plan on which the
Combined fleet was sent out.
The Hon. Mr. Pot.e, brother to the Margo*
Was L cat. tar, accompanied by Colonel Roosts, aml
Copt. Goor Rev, of the Ordnance, arrived it Cork,
on Tuesday last.
It is said that a letter direded to the Emperor
Della LIN es. at St. Domingo, was lately °poised at
the Post Office, in Tortola, written by
an opulent merchant in London, in which he congra-
tulates the sable Chief on his successes, and makes a
tender of his services.
An order, we understand, was sent to all the
out•ports some days ago, instruding our cruisers u
detain all American vessels which have On board
property not the prqduce of the United States.—
This order has been already aEled upon, and several
ships have been stopped. The American Consul,
it is reported, applied to Government on Tuesday
ter an explanation.
It has been ascertained, that the American ships
have for a length of time been in the pradice of go-
ing to the Isle of France, and the French ports is the
West Indies, to bring away produce, which they fi-
nally carried into French or Dutch ports. Their
usual custom was to touch at an American port, in
order to give the cargoes the appearance of being
American property s but it is very well known, that
such cargoes were never landed. It is in consequence
of these proceedings, that the order abovennen.
tioned has been issued.
Yesterday se'onight the cavalry brigade, consist.
ing of the Scots Greys and the 7th and 21st Light
Dragoons, under the command of Lord nose,
with the Royal Horse Artillery, were reviewed on
Rashmere-heath, near Ipswich, in presence of the
Duke of RUT LAND. Their several maneuvers ware
performed with the stridest military exadness.
Capt. CHAaLu Roe Les, who so gallantly eon.
mended the Wasimor Castle, in the late vidory over
the Combined Fleets of France and Spain, is a na-
tive of Wells in Norfolk; within four miles of the
place that had the honour of giving birth to the
Hero of the Nile—with whom Capt. Bor Las was
a messmate on their first entrance into the naval set.
vice of their c-untry.
Yesterday se'nnight, Mr. .1. Lawn, aging Second
Master and Pilot of His Nlajesty's gun brig Staunch,
was tried for drunkenness and neglect of duty,
in having suffered and assisted Mr. JOHN WOOO,
Sub-Lieutenant of the brig, to desert whilst a pri.
loner at large, was sentenced to be dismissed from
his office of Second Master and Pilot, to be rendered
incapable of ever being employed as an officer again,
and to be imprisoned in the Marshalsea sit months.
The squadron under the command of Sir Rosa& r
CALDER in the late anion, divided as soon as it was
ascertained that the enemy had neither entered Fer.
rol nor Corunna. Sir Rai OLMT, with ten sail of the
line, resumed his former station off Ferrol ; while
Admiral STIRLING, with the remaining four ships,
proceeded to the blockade of Rochefor t. • A letter
from the Channel Fleet, received yesterday, states,
that the Spanish ships belonging to the Combined
Squadron, have put into ‘'igo, and that the French
have proceeded to Cadiz. It appears, however, im-
probable, that the fleets of the allied nations should
have separated s and it they did, the experience of
the last century proves, that the Spaniards, in shelter-
ing themselves in Vigo, have by no merino placed
themselves out of the reach of attack.

As we have already :.:ated, there was nothing of a
