LONDON,

TUESDAY, liictwaeu 1.

Mr KUNTZ, the AuColas Messenger, who
ar-
rived in the Fiore fin of truce, from Calais, lett
London on Sattrrday afternoon with dispatches from
the Austrian Ambassador here to the Austrian

Ambassador at Pais, end onsbuked about eight
o'clock on Sunday morning at Dover, on board
the iiistabob gig of truce, fur Calais. As the
wind was favourable, he probably reached the
French coast about twelve. The Eleulra had been
several days in Dover Roads, waiting his arrival.
Mr. Manors was escorted on bowl the vessel by
Mr. M•NTet, the agent for prisoners at Dover.
His dispatches are understood to be in answer to
those which he brought over, and if they had re-
lated solely to Austria, and .France was not inte-
rested in them, that Power never would have
granted the facility of communication afforded by
a gag of truce dire 6 from Calais to Dover. This
idea, it now appears, produced the rise in the funds

on Saturday. It is rumourea, that another flag of
truce mg be err.ifled from France, sooa after Mr.
Mums has reschad Paris.

The (Rory, of 99 tuns, Captain (now Rear-Ad-
nairal) °Tway, arrived at the Motherbank, on Sa-
turday, from the /:et off Cadiz, in twenty-toer days.

the Hydra frigate. Capt. Moony, is cruising in-
shore. The Rey, size 74, Sir Je.ssu Go IE, is at Gib-
raltar, refitting.
The five French line-of-battle ships at Cadiz, are
ready for Sea. It is espeeled they will make •prort
out, whenever an opportunity offers. Lisbon is be-
lieved to be their destination. The Spanish ships,
consisting of seven sail of the line, are, apyarently,
ready for sea ; but are said to be very short of men.
The Glory experienced very severe gales on her pas-
sage.
By the Glory, we have been put ie possession of
another J 111,100115 circumstance attaching to the Kos.
slant, that lately put inti the Tagus. This squadron,
consisting of seven sail of the line and two frigates,
Passed the Straights on the 19th salt.; a frigate
that stopped at Gibraltar a 1e hours, took
great pains to have it understood, that they
were coming to Portsmouth to winter : she
even applied to Sir Haw DALavYPLc for Channel
Fslots. This appears to have been merely •
feint. We find also that part of the Russian asst
put into the Tagus on the 9h. and part ea the
flth of November, being a passage of from 20 to
22 days, from Gibraltar to Lisboa. Did they take
a wide sweep into the Atlantic to avoid our fleet off
Cadiz? The length of the passage favours this
suspicion.

We have received the Hamburgh Correspotdestas
of the 7th list. It contains an article on the
state of printing in Turkey, and an account
of the state in which the Dock-yard of Copenhagen
was left by nor forces. The number of the marine
corps that deserted to the English, is estimated at
1,017. They are said to be chiefly Germans.

Sir S. Hoon's squadron. which sailed on Thurs-
day evening from Ss Helen's, arrived on Saturday
at Pl, mouth. It found there the Shannon. 'Vei-
t-m*lw, and Seem* frigates, which it it supposed will
form part of the expedition. These frigates had
received on board a great number of fiat-bottomed
boats. and s t others were ready for shippirm,—
General BERESIOIID, Commander-in-Chief; Colonel
Darters°, Deputy Qoatter-Master-General ;
&stir- Aajor Mu", r ; Dr. Moncwooo, Physician
to the Army; Mr. Engem:is, Purveyor to the
forces ; and several of the Medical Staff, accom-
palsied Sir S. Homo from Plymouth in the Cr 'item.
transport, with medical storm, is ordered to pro-
feed immediately for Plymouth, to join the expedi-
tion, the objed or whichlts now said to be Madeira.

Mr. Meaner is arrived in town from Helsing-
horg. his mission to conciliate the Danes having
failed.
A letter was received yesterday, at Lloyd's, dated
Edinburgh, Nov. 26, which says, .4 Arrived, in
Smith Roads, the Royal George Excise cutter, from
t-ef Copenhagen. She sailed with a convoy on the
tild tilt. for the Baltic; but, in consequence of an
miler from the Captain of His Masasr e's ship
Vaaarard, she has returned."
We are assured, that when the Russian 11:2•et ap-
peared off the Tagus they were 'opposed to be Su .'
tish, and orders were issued to the batteries to resit
the enemy ! They entered, however. as Russians,
without obstruction, in three divisions, amounting
together to sties sail of the line and two frigates.-
' It has been said, that Lisbon, being a neutral port,
Ciinot under blockade, the English Goveiament
d no right to prevent the entrance of the Rus-
sians into the Tagus. This, we believe, is not the
fat. The conduct of the Russians was a violation
of the terms of the Portuguese neutrality, by
which Portugal engaged not to admit mote than xis
sail of the line.
Another Expedition, and of considerable magni-
[Ude, w.ll shortly sail from Portsmouth. Upwards
of 1.4‘) transports are collated there for the pur-
pose, and an order was received on Friday for the
yd. 4th, lith, and &h hitt:Jinns of the line of the
King's German Legion, and the SU 30th. and
82d regiments, to be ready for foreign service.
Ate Gorman Legion were under orders to disesn•
bark and march into Sussex: the 4th battalion had
reached Lewes. where they were to have been sta-
tioned. They have returned to Portsmouth. and
were to embark again yesterday said this day. The
other regiments mentioned arrived there in the coarse
of the week, and the 2d Somerset have marched to
Salisbury ; the East Kent and West Essex Militias.
to Stockbridge and Runssey ; and the 3d Lanca-

them. Captain Haesean. of Gosport. is ap-
pointed Senior Officer of the division of transports
