Tifis morning arrived a Mail from the Leeward
Islands, brought to Falmouth by the Princess Amelia
Packet; in 35 dayS, from Tortola. The following is
the principal intelligence which it brings
‘c BARBAPOES AUG. the Bth inst. ar-
rived the Diana Packet from-Falmouth, in 28 days;
,
and the same day arrived RICHARD STRACHAN'S
Squadron. They have been busily employed since
their arrival in viaualling and watering, and are at
this-moment under sail. It is supposed they will
run dawn the Islands, and then proceed to England.
The Lady Parker and the Caledonia, from 'New
Brunswick, with Mails for Antigua, are captured
by a French Frigate, and supposed-to he carried into
Martinique;—they were under Convoy of the Busy
.Brig of War, Capt. KtiLi.v, who engaged the Fri-
gate on the night .of the 18th ult: for an hour and
20 minutes, and had one man killed and eleven
wounded;
,_her masts and rigging were so injured as
to prevent her capturing the Frigate, and Captain
KEILLY had the mortification 'of seeing his Convoy
in the hands of the Enemy. On
.the 52d, the Busy
came in here and refitted, and yesterday sailed for
Halifax.

cc. ANTIGUA, AUG. 11.—We are informed that
,the greatest a6livity prmils at Martinique, where
they are busily employed-in baking biscuits `and
ing provisions, for.another French Squidron; said
to be. hourly expected there."

THE new Ministerial arrangements which we
ypsterday stated, are to be completed this day, by
the appointment of fir. TIERIEY to the Presidency
of the Board of Controul, and Mr. BaAqpr BA-
THURST to be Master of the Mint. Lord FIT;-
WILLIAM relinquishes, as we before stated, his si-
tuation as President "of the Council in favour of Loyd
SIDMOUTH, retaining, hoWever, a seat irohe Cabi-

net. These arrangements were submitted on Mon-
day last by Lord GRENVILLE to HIS MAJESTY, who
came to Town this molting fo't the purpose of
confirming them. For the satisfaEtion of our Readers
we subjoin ,the whole of the appointments in one
general view.

Lord SiomouTtf, to be Lord President.
Lord Flo LL A III) to be Lord privy Seal.

LordHowletc, to be Secretary of State for the Foteigp
Department.
TubmAs GREW/ ILL Et to be First Lord of the 43-
miralty.
Mr. TIERNEY. to be President of the Board of Controul.

Mr. BR.AGGL BATHURST, to be .Master of the Mint.

THE next intelligence wllic-11 we receive from the
Continent will probably be of a most important and
decisive nature. There is every reason to believe
that BONAPARTE has by this time placed himself at
the head of one of his Armies, for the pur-
pose of attacking, or at least of over-aweing,
Prussia ; for it is certain that he had left Paris be-
fore Mr. SMITH, the Messenger, had quitted that
City. It is not probable that, situated as he is, Bp-
, NAPARTE will now stop to negotiate with the KING
Of PRUSSIA, because his great chance of success
rests upon the rapidity of
,hig operations, by which
he may be enabled to.-defeat Prussia single-handed
before she can be elfeaually assisted by her Al-
lies. It is true that, judging from experience,
BONAPARTE might trust Negotiation alone to
bring back the Cabinet, of Berlin t0.,.a. pacific :vs:-
tem. The offer of some territorial advantages might
naturally be expeae'd to produce that die& But
if his PRUSSIAN MAJESTY should he fully convinced
of the impoliey of his• past condua, and he should
be really determined to make an effort to maintain
his own independence, and restore that of Eu-
rope; an attempt -at Negotiation would be high-
ly disadvantageous to BONAPARTE, because it would
give time to the Ezaruaoh of RUSSIA to bring his'
whole force into the frtld to the assistance of his
Ally. It is perfealy well known that the success of
the French in the last campaign was principally ow-
ing to the unexampled:celerity of their movements,
by which they were 'enabled to beat the Austrians in
detail before the arrival ofthe Russians. It is therefore
highly probable they Will now pursUe the same system
from which they last year derived such important
advantage. Whether the KING of PRUSSIA will at-
tempt
to aVc.g.l the storm, by concession or negotia-
tion,
or whether he will brave it, is a point
whiCb, the past conduct of the Cabinet of Berlin
•
has made it very difficult to decide upon. It is diffi-
cult to believe that thq' KING of PRUSSIA can now
seriously resolve Upon trial of strength with Er-a:lce,

having„ last year, declined the opntest under cir-,
cumstances so favourable that success was almost a
natter of certainty, He must, then have been con-
vinced that thie subjugation of Austria, would be, in
effeet, the subjugation of the,' greater Alto the
continent ; and it was impossible that he should be
so short-sighted as not to see that which was clear
to every man of common sense in Europe, viz.
that thotigh by the humiliation of Austria he
might get rid of a rival, yet, tv the aggrandize 7
went of France,, he would acquire a IVlaster.--
All this he must have known last autumn. All
Europe looked up to him as arbiter of its fate ;
but he staered the decisive moment to be last,
and by an infatuated policy, which it is impos-
sible to account for, without going far enough to
assist Austria, he went so far as to excite the
resentment of BONAPARTg, and he at this moment
feels the double mischief which resulted from his
coodua. After being witnesses of these events,
we cannot, we confess, place entire confidence in the
determination which Prussia has lately manifested,
more especially as we see the man to whose Councils
this wavering and unfortunate policy (to use no harsher
terms) has always been ascribed still employed as the
confidential adviser of his Sovereign. 13ut this is a
point upon which we cannot long remain in donbt.
BONAPARTE has most probably by this time joined
his Armies, and but a short time will be given to
Prussia, to choose between unconditional submission
or determined resistance.

At the Council, to be held this day, an Order Will
be made, to further prorogue Parliament frOm the
gth of Odot*. ' '

'THE EXPEDITIONS.—The variety of these, the-
mode of equipment of some of them, and the term
for which they are variously victualled, puts conjec-
ture at defiance. A great many flat-bottomed boats
have been sent from the, Downs, and most of the
Transports have now one'or two of them.—The
latest report is, that the reinforcement going out to
Buenos Aires is tq consist of the T7th Light Dra
goons, ‘.‘ the brave Death or ;Glory Regiment," Geo
neral DE LANCEY'S.Regiment ; of the Ist battalion
of the sth, 'General EN4I,AND'S Regiment ; and of

well Sloop, to convoy them immediately.—We have

Wino CLUB-+-A "Meeting of the Members of
this Society took place yesterday at the Crown and
Anchor. The Duke of NORFOLK was in the Chair.
The purpose of this Meeting was to pass some Re-
solutions respe&ing the loss the Club had suffered in
the death of Mr. Fox. Mr. ADAM addressed‘the
Meeting, and pronounced a brief hut impressive
panegyric on the high merits of the departed Mem-
ber, proposing that the Society should convey to the
Relations of the deceased their solicitude to Aoia in
the mournful ceremony of his interment. This
proposal was zealously adopted, and a Committee
was appointed fbr that purpose, as well as to con-
sider what. further testimony of its esteem and
respeta for Mr. Fox should be given to his memory.
—Unanimous assent was given to the Resolutions,
and to the Motion of Thanks to the Duke of NOR-.
rola( for his eonduet as Chairman.
