LONDON, MARCH 2+, 1801.

Two liambursi, Mails still remain due.

We. yesterday received Letters from the Bay
of Afacari, near the Isle of Rhodes dated on the.,
th of January, .which came by a Merch4nt Ship
that arrived without Convoy ; and on Sunday,
a Letter from Sir RALPH ABERCROMBY, dated
the i sth January, reached Government by the
same Channel. These communications agree in
giving the most satisfalory account of the Health
of our Troops, and of the spirit which animates
them. Their number was, it seems, more than
16,000 effedive men. Sir RALPH'S Letter is
ieported to state, that he had received advices
from Admiral BLANErTT, at Suez, informing him
that the Bombay Army would be ready to co-
operate with the Forces Under the command of
Sir RALPH by the beginning of February.
The Swedish Minister, „Baron EHRENSWARD,
has applied to Lord HAWKESBURY for a Pais_
'port to quit this Country, which has been grant.
ed him ; and he was to leave London, we believe,
this day, to pass by the way of Dover into
France.

PRINCE AUGUSTITS is coming home from Lis-
bon.; the -Et;,-/)/tr;ott Frigate, Capt. Sir THOMAS
WILL TAMS, having sailed to bring him.
It was yesterday' reported, that Five Sail of
French Ships of the Line were cruizing otr Ro_
binhood's Bay, on the Coast of Yorkshire. Re-
port likewise made Sir HYDE PARK ER'S Fleet off
the Coast of Northumberland on the 17th inst.
which we know to be untrue.

His Majesty's Ship Mercury, in the Mediter-
ranean, has fallen in with Twenty Sail of Met-,
chantmen, laden with wine and brandy, from
Cette bound to Toulon, of which Fifteen were
made prizes. The same ship also fell in with
and captured a French Corvette, laden with arms
and ammunition, out one day from Toulon, del_
tined for the Army of Egypt. All the Prizes
have been carried into Minorca.
Having seen a libellous paragraph in a defa-
matory Daily Print, copied into other Papers,
stating that Mr. ROSE retires with 28,c001. a
year,. we have been led, in justice to this Gen-
tlCM3ll, to make some inquiries on the subjea ;
the result of which is, and we believe it to be
accurate, that when he came into the Tre'asury
in 1782, he gave up a considerable official In-
come, and that when he left it in 1783, he had
neither Pension nor Employment ;—that when
the grant of the office of Clerk of the Parliament
was made to, him (unconneacd with his services
in the Treasury) there was a Life before his, very-
nearly as good as his own, the unexpe&ed falling
in of which (froin an accident),opened the way for
his succession ; and that he now retires again,
without Pension or other Provision, as he ought
to do. It is, indeed, but justice to the Gentle-
man we are speaking of, to add, that when an
augmentation was made some time ago to the Sa-
laries of the Secretaries of the Tteasury, of loco!.
a year, he declined to take it, on account of his
holding another office.

Lord AUCKLAND, in the very able Speech
which he delivered in the House of Lords on
Friday night last, among other calculations, on
which, from his Lordship's known accaracy-, we
can rely, atated, that the capital of the National
Debt was in February 1793, when the War be,
ian, 230 Millions, and that in February 780 j,
it was 356 Millions, The latter sum is excl..
sive of the Loan on account of Ireland (separately
provided for) ; the capital charged on the Income
Tax; the capital reduced by the Sinking Fund ;
and the capital reduced by the sale of the Land
Tax. These deduttions ought, it is obvious, to
be made, as the quantity of capital redeemed is
considerably increased by the low price of Stocks,
occasioned by the creation of additional capital.
The virtues of the Emperor PAUL are now the
theme of praise in the Parisian Journals. He
rises every morning at four, breakfasts at seven,
dines at one, and goes to bed at nine. Such is
the history of his day; and this early rising and
early going to bed, farms no small subW.l of
commendation, for want of higher matter to ap-
plaud.
Mrs. SECOND'S Marvellous Work again received
a unanimous eta-of. on Friday last ; and her Bright
Seraphim, the night before, elettrified the audi-
ence. We never heard finer singing ;s and her
great vocal powers, combined with INiLEDoN's,
have brought much Fashion to the Covent-garden
Oratorios ; amongst which, during the season,
we have noticed His Royal Highness the PR INCE
of WALES, DUKE ofKENT, PRINCE Of ORANGE,
LOId UXBRIDGE, Lady MACCLESFIELD, and
others of Rank, too numerous to insert.

Lact week a meeting took place at \rough
Ireland, between Mr. JOHNSON, of the Leitrim
Militia, hnd Mr. BARRY, of Castle-Lyons, when
the former received a ball which killed him on the
