itish squad: n.l, under Admiral RA INIEK. which
had been blocking u? the Mauritius, had sailed from
thence about the I tith of Odlober last, for the pur-

that the day after they had quitted the blockade,
Admiral Liscis, in the Marengo, and two frigates,
had arrived there, having taken two prizes, one a

The report of the capture of the Prince of Wales
I.llnd, with three IndiAmen, is, therefore, un-

t .undeJ.

It Mai generally supposed, that the British squad-
ton would water at this Island : should that prove
the ma., the report of• its eipture becomes still more
im2robable. We learn by the Albion, whaler, that
the cztra ships Tracers and Union, bound for St.

December; they separated from the Devaynts,

the Minority in the House of Commons, upon
the question of the war with Spain, although not
very furrniJable, was certainly very respeCiable.
The Minister apFears to have considered it in that

light $ as, pending
,the division, be informed his
friends that there would pro'..iably be some di►_
cession upon the report last night. This anxiety to
bespeak their attendance, shews that he does not feel
so easy in his seat as he used to do. We remem-
brr Mr. Fox, indeed, exhorting his friends upon
a similar occasion, when he was gaining upon Mr.
ADDINGTON ; hut such a mark of condescension is

quite new from Mr. PITT. But while the mirotity
is sufficiently great to keep him upon the alert. the
strength of his majority must dissipate all fear for
his power. Should he resign. it will be from some
other cause than want of Partiamentaty support•

Yesterday, Mr. Ni.wLano gave notice at the
Stock Exchange, that the CI:Am:: i.i.oa of the Ex-
curou:a would be ready to meet the Gentlemen
bidding for the Loan on to-morrow, when he w ill
state the amount wanted for the year, and what
Stock the bidding: are to be made in. The Fonda,
in consequence of this notice, experienced a trifling
depression, hut soon recovered, and were, at one
o'clock, at Tuesday's prices. Omnium was done
ai high as 3 and 31 per cent. premium, many sup-
posing that the Loan will not be large ; but, we have
no hesitation in saying, from the best information,
that the amount will be as we formerly stated,
about 25,000,0001.

Dutch Papers to the 9th have been received in
town, which bring the Paris news to the 3d. Their
contents are of no importance. They notice neither
the decapitation of Lie Ge AND VISIER, the kicking
of Count Co usNrzst. by our Minister at Vienna,
nor any other part of the ixeiusive intelligence lately
announced by one of our contemporaries, upon
alleged authority of the Preach papers. General
Bitu t 4 s appears to have cuiued Ccr.stantinople, and
%mar ART Z affecls t•I feel no jealousy upon tlte sub.
jea of the assimblage of Austrian troops upon the
frontiers of Italy.

Yesterday arrived a Mad from the Leeward
Islands, brought to Falmouth by the PISISMIS Amnia
packet, in 22 days.
Letters from Madrid, of d.res much later than
the accounts froni thence, vie Gibraltar, are silent
respelling far reported death of the PRINCL or

sid-rvd as unfounded.
A Gentleman, lately arrived from Bobrdeaux, '

There are lying in Ferrol harbour, five sail of the

ships that were in that harbour, 'are found unfit for
service, and are broken up, and the crews are put

It is conjeflared, that they will attempt to go out
in a sh.•st time.

A letter from Dublin, dated Feb. 9, says--" A
considerable degree of alarm appears to have pre-
vailed at the late appearance of a strange fleet off
the coast of Cork t the forces were every where on
the alert, and many yeomanry corps were placed
upon permarwat duty, in the Southern counties. and
retained for four or five days. The alarm, how-
ever, seems now to hay: subsided, as these. corps
have been taken off duty, detachm-nts only being
continued on the to k-Mr. stations on the coast, ant
toe necessary hues of communication pith the inte-
rior."

The Ymwg Ratrica commenced his renewed en-
gagement last night at this house, in the charaaer
of Nor rat. He was received by a brilliant audi-
ence with the most enthusiastic applause. Long
before the ti:ual time the house became impatient
for the Play to commence, and from the moment of
his appearance a dead silence and mute attention..
prevailed in every pert, maw,. when interrupted by
bursts of approbation. The house overflowed at an
early hour, yet so judicious and efficient were the ar•
rangements made forthe prevreation of order, no in-
convenience was felt b) those who had the good for-
tune to have taken places. The Yosmg itos,ius never
;ipeared to greater advantage. In the brilliant cir-
cle of the night were, the Duchess of Devciasti I at,
Ladies CNNLIFFE, WELBY, STU•IIIY, and 'Lusts-
INGTON, Mistresses ERSKINE, BOUVERIE,
and MRSTE2.I4 Lord W urrwusi els, Mr. BYNIS,
