LONDON, .
FRIDAY, Nov Lima 1.

A Gottenburgh Mail arrived yesterday. It has
broug'it an account, that the joint Swedish and
Ril,siaa forces, to the number of 50,0)0 men,
marched froiro:tralsund, on the 16th, for Hanover.
Tl:e Mail, we believe, ha, brought no other article of
important int •Iligenee. In the course of yesterday,
we understand, an order was sent off, from the Ad-
miralty, for the Expedition in the Downs to put to
era. The wind having shifted to the liVest, the Ar-
mament has probably sailed. It has been aug-
mented, and rendered still more complete. during
the time which it fr, been delayed beyond the pe-
riod of iginally fixed for its sailing. Five transports,
laden with one hundred ammunition waggons, and
other military stores, sailed from Portsmontli, on
Wednesday, tc, join it. The troops, which are sop.
posed to have sailed, consist chiefly of the detach-
ments of the Guards, General Paorr's Brigade,
General Moose's Brigade, and the German no
under General Don. It has been reported, for
some days, that the following is the arrangement
for its Staff:—His Royal Highness the Duk: of
YORK, Commander-in. Chief ; His Royal Highness
the Duke of CUM till. AND, to the command of the
British Cavalry, with two Lieutenant-Generals tin-
der him; and Ills Itnyal Ilighwn; the Duke of
CAMBRIDGE, with seven Lieutenant-Generals, and
twelve Major-Generals, under him, to have the
command of the Infantry. Other reports state,
that the Duke of KEN r will command the Cavalry.

Yesterday, at twelve o'clock, a Military Board
was held at the Commander-in-Chief's Office, in the
Florae Guards, which was attended by Their Royal
Highnesses the Dukes of YORK. Kcn r.

Generals HARCOURT, Cs Lvcsr, and BROWNRIGG.

With the exception of the Gottenburgh 111.41, no

inform stion, we believe, was yesterday received
from the Continent. As the interval, however,
between a dearth of intelligence, on the one hand,
and a great expellation on the other, is al way: fruit-
ft:l in rumours, the present moment is not without
its share. Amidst the variety of reports which
have prevailed for some days, that which announced
the deci dyes a4lion between the French and Aus-
trians, to have been fought upon the Itrth, has not
