LONDON,

SATURDAY, Novemoutft I.

French and Dutch Papers, we understand, were
received in town last night, containing the details
of the battle of the 14th. It appears to have been
indeed a bloody day ; but we do net find that it
terrified Prussia into an inglorious peace, as many
conj •ftured the result would prove. It was re-
ported, last evening, that the two Hamburgh Mails,
due on Wednesday, had arrived at Harwich, and
might be expeaed in town last night. They had
not, however, reached town, when this Paper was
put to Press.

A full report of the Proceedings on the first day
of the ElyEton for the City of London, and of the
Meeting, yesterday, of the Eleaors of the County
of Middlesex, in the interest of Mr. liditt.xisx, is
given in our subsequent columns.

Yester.lay, a Court of Dironors was held at the
Eta India House, when Capt. WM. STANLEY
CL A RKE was sworn into the command of the True
Briton, consigned to Bombay and China. The
Court adjourned, at five o'clock, till Wednesday
next.
An armistice has been concluded between Mr.
Tt ERPIEY and Sir THOMAS 'DATUi . by which it is
agreed that Sir. Tit e-aAs shall say nothing of pe/died
epeitary; nor Mr. TIERNEY' e,er suffer to be played,
by his hardy-gurly grinders, the favourite air of
Pettiroat-leose.
The Brigades of Generals WeLcaskee and HILL,
the Blues, Scots Greys, 13th, 14th, and 15:11 Dra-
goons, the whole of the Battalions of the Ist Regi-
ment of Foot, and e; the Enni.killens, are men-
tioned as likely to form a part of the Expedition
for the Continent.
The Naval Returns, up to this day, state the num-
ber of ships, in rommilltten, to be—of the line, 130;
fifties, 12 ; frigates. 163 ; slc•ips, 3cc. 181 ; gun.
brigs, and under, 261. In orrlin rep—of the line, 54;
fifties, 13; frigates, 60 ; sloops, &c. 4i; gun-brigs,
and under, 5. Bui4iiisp—of the line, 58; frigates,
31 ; sloops, Ste. 51 ; gun-brigs, acrid under, .0:.
making a total of 10.51 vessels. •• • "
The Hon Mr. Cavennisst hls been returned one
of the Members for the City or Derby. And the
usual ceremony of chairing will take place this day.
His fither, Lord GEORGE CATENDIN, who is
member for the county, will be chaired this dap
week.
The Honourable Captain GEORGE CAVENDISM
has bean returned one of the Members for the 13J.
rough of Aylesbury; we understand he is to be
clawed next Monday.
A stupid and scandalous hand-bill was, yesterday,
stuck up and circulated in the neighbourhood of
Drury-Lase and Somerset-House, containing a
mean attempt to libel Mr. PAM I. ; but nieant, in
fact, to do mischief to Mr. SHERIDAN. Mr. bee-
moan's Committee immediately disavowed this
imposture. And a similar stupid libel, against Mr.
Snitainati, as an answer to this, has been equally
disavowed by Mr. PAOLI'S Committee. The
quarter from which these tricks originate, is /Hewn,
and will be revraled.
There will be no contest in the county of Galway.
The friends of Lord Clancarty (the friend of Lord
Castlereagh), hive retired disheartened from the
field. Lord Clanricarde, Sir Thomas Burke, Lord
French, Mr. Jlellew, and all the Catholic interest,
joined to their own very powerful-forces, will bring
in Messrs. Martin and Daly without a struggle.
John C. Beresford, Esq. is a Candidate for the
county of Waterford.

Sir .lehn Newport has, in a public advertisement,
again solicited the favour of the Kleffors of the
City of Waterford ; rani it would be a libel on
the sense and public spirit of that important city to
suppose it possible that his solicitation would be on-
stsccessful. Sir John has the first of all preten-
sions to their warmest support, and to their hill
confidence. When he had no office, his public
conduct was upright rnd manly ; and since he
has entered into a place of considerable magni•
tude, and that too in a manner the most coned
and honourable, he has discharged his duty to the
Public with great industry, ability, fidelity, and
zeal. Those whose discernment in his charadera
saw his fitness for public life, and who sup.
ported him on former occasirsos, out of regard
for that charaEler. and tespeiff for his talents,
o ill rally round him now with honourable prides;
and those who are judicious enough to estimate he
utility of a public man, and honest enough to sup-
port him, of whom ;hey must approve, inio.t give a
powerful augmentation to his friends among the
Constituency of the City of Waterford.
An affray, of a most unhappy termination, cc-
tuned on the t3th instant, at Clonakilry, in the
county of Cork. Three soldiers of the 32,1 Itegi.
swot, who had been out of their Barracks. r'rit.k-
iog with a min named lieni‘ Sisqrffen, nn their wsy
to ser him home, were met by several other country-
mew i some conversation ensued, which condo-14.i in
a scuffle of much violence, in which SaWitial to:A :he
side of the countrymen. The Onforiun ate re- ult
was, the death of two of the Wildiets, who were
found with several stabs in their hornet. The %Alier
who escaped related the affair, and informations
were lodged against the patty upon his state-
ment.• Whether the soldier: hr the countrymen
were the aggressors, is
.a matter -tot clearly
derstood—the rencontre is considered to have been
purely accidental. Au Inquest nes held on the
body. Every possible eiterto.ii is using by the
Magistrate. and Gentlemen of the cir.urirry, to ap.
prehesid all those concerned in this frelao:holy bo„.:•
n..ss. Th- condaft of the iletachnieWor the Sid,
in Clonakilt yr, has been uniformly ni,rete rocs paitesm
able and eleinplaer kind. _
