ST. JAMES'S LOYAL VOLUNTEERS.

Slit,

You are requested to attend Parade on Wednesday next,
the 16th of March, at six o'clock in the evening, at the parti-
cular requust of Lord Amherst.
March 14, 1903. JAMES RICE, Sec.

The objet is to put the corps in an immediate
state of preparation, and the example will no doubt
followei by all the other corps in town and
country.

We have received accounts from Gibraltar to the
17th ultimo, which state, that on the morning of
that day, the Dragon 'of 74 guns, the Renown of
74, and the Alonniouth of 64 guns, sailed for Malta,
to join the fleet there.
Three French line of battle ships were then at
the back of the Rock, where they had been four
days preceding, waiting for an easterly wind to pass
the Gut. They were crowded with troops, and
their destination was announced to be for St.
Domingo.
The reviews of the different regiments in the
Garrison were appointed to take place on the 23d of
February. From the high state of discipline of the
troops, it was expeded to be a very fine military
spedacle. The Spanish General, and many of his
Officers, were to be present at them.
The master of a French xebeque, which arrived
at Gibraltar on the 16th of February, in ten days
from Marseilles, brought accounts that intelligence
had been received at the latter place, before his
departure, of the Algerines having declared war
against France, and that the French were in conse-
quence colle'ling troops at Toulon.

The accounts received yesterday, by the Dutch
mail of the I ith, give some new particulars respect-
ing the French and English Amba<sadors at Con-
stantinople, which, if true, would show that the
French influence has gained the ascendant at the
Ottoman Porte.

Letters from Brussels of the Bth instant, state, that
General LELLIARD, who served with disci:laic:a
under BoNAP AR-It, in the campaigns of Italy and
Egypt, will have the command of the troops destined
to form a camp in the vicinity of that city, at the
time when the Ftitsr CoNstm pays a visit to tL•e
united departments of the ci-devant Belgium. It
appears also, that the Commandant-General of the
Voth Military Division will have the command of
the camp to be formed on the Left Bank of the
Rhine about the same time.

- -
Letters from Brussels of the 28th February, state,
that Mr. OTTO, who fulfilled so honourably his
Mission in England, is appointed Ambassador from
the French Republic to his PRMI AN MAJESTY.
General Cm:; A n BERT uttn, brother of the French
Minister of War, who was to have gone to Loui-
siana, as Chief of the Stair to the expedition destined
for that colony, has, it is said, been appointed, by
the French Government, Captain General of To-
bago.
The last letters from Toulon state, that Admiral
D!: WINTER was about to sail from that port for
Lisbon.
_ _

A great number of volunteers for the service of
the new French colonies have been already raised in
the new departments on the left banks of the Rhine.
They are to be conveyed to the depot established at
Dunkirk, where they will embark for their respec-
tive destinations.

The French frigate, La Fraternize, which sailed
from St. Domingo on the 7th of August last, is sup-
posed to be lost. No news having since been received
of her arrival in any port.
Sunday afternoon Mr. Mo RRISON arrived at Lord
II P. ES.nu v's Oilice from Malta, which island he
left only three weeks ago. Mr. Mo RR ISON came to
England via Paris, and brought over with him dis-
patches from Lord WHITWORTH.
Nithing material had occurred at Malta when
Mr. Moxr.isoN left the place.

It is a fort highly creditable to the general cha-
ratfler of that gallant Officer, Sir S. SMITH, that
numbers of Le li:gre's ship's company, who served
under him in Egypt, crowd to his house, to offer
themselves as volunteers to serve under him again
whenever he hoists his pendant.
A Letter from an Officer in the Mediterranean to
Sir E. PELLLW, says, " the Du UCJIL', the last
French ship that sailed out of the .trails, had 3(sj
Irishmen as part of the crew." He adds, that
" nothing could be more disorderly or insubordi-
nate than the whole !"

Samuel Wathen, Esq. High Sheriff of the county
of Gloucester, having on Thursday last received a
written application, signed by the Earl of Berkeley,
Lord Lieutenant of the county, the Duke of Beau-
fort, the Marquis of Worcester, Earl Bathurst,
Lords Somerville, De Clifford, Dude and Sher-
borne, the Hon. Adriiiral Berkeley, the Right Hon.
Charles Bragge, Sir G. O. Paul, and Sir T. C.
Boevey, Bans. General Rooke, Michael Hicks
Beach and Thomas Estcourt, Esqrs. &c. requesting
that he would call a County Meeting, to consider of
an Address to his Majesty on_ his late Providential
Escape from Treasonable Conspiracy, hand-bills
were immediately circulated, and other suitable
means adopted, to secure a full attendance on Fri-
day last, when the High Sheriff took the Chair,
in the Grand Jury Room, at one o'clock ; and
having opened the business, in an appropriate
speech, and read the Letter from the Lord Lieu-
tonant, Sir William Backs, Bart. moved an Ad-
dress ; which being read, was seconded by Sir
Berkeley William Guise, Bart. and agreed to.

was instituted, by the Rev. Mr. RUDGE, (Commis-
sary to the Lord Bishop of GLOCESTER,) to the
united Ratories of Oldbury and Didmartin, in the
diocese of Glocester, on the presentation of the

ESTCOCRT, Clerk.
The Duke of GORDON and Lady M. SINCLAIR,
arrived yesterday at his Grace's house in Green-
street, from Gorden Castle.

night from Ireland, after being some days detained

It is said (and much to lig hoped) that, in the
event of a war, Lieutenant (nneral HENRY JOHN-
STONE will resume his command in Ireland. The
spirited condu& of that gallant Officer, onthe ever-
memorable sth of June 1798, at New Ross, saved
that country from all the homer:: which threatened
its dearest possessions. During his residence on the
Staff, at Waterford, a firm perseverance in his duty,
tempered with justice and humanity, not only se-
cured the peace of his distrift, but endeared him to
all descriptions of its inhabitants. •
Yesterday morning, about nine o'clock, as Mr.
GARDNER, of Quecn's.street, Cheapside, was re-
turning to town, his horse suddenly took fright, at
the turnpike in Worship-street, and ran with the
greatest fury nearly round Finsbury-square. Here,
providentially, the rider, disencumbered from his
stirrups, threW himself off, and received no other
injury than a few slight brnises. The animal, pur-
suing his course, flew against the palisadoes of
Messrs. LAextriorobi, ALLLN and Co.'s dwelling-
house in Finsbury-square, with a force so -incredi-
bly irresistible, as to throw down the strong iron
railing, and break several of the bars, by which
means the poor creature was precipitated into the
area, a depth of near 20 feet, and killed -instanta-
neously. The horse was of great value, and was
purchased only a week preceduig the aczidect.
