TEE SUN.

SOLEM QUIS DICERE FALSLYM AUDF.AT ?

LONDON,

MONDAY, APRIL 21, 1806.

THE Prince Ernest Packet arrived at Falmouth on
the 17th from Barbadoes. The Mails contain no in-
telligence of importance. No 'French Squadron has
appeared in those Seas ; there seems, therefoire, every
reason to believe that the Vessels which separated from
Admiral LESSIEGUES, after he left Brest, have sailed
for the East Indies.

The Euryalus Frigate, with the Fleet ,under her
convoy, from Portsmouth, is arrived off Lisbon.

The Princess Amelia andp Duke of Marlborough
Packets, from Falmouth, are arrived at Barbadoes.
We are sorry to announce the loss of His Majes-
ty's Brig Seaforth, Lieut. STEELE, which upset in a
squall, and only two of the Crew were saved.

THE Gazette of Saturday
,contains an Order in
Council for putting Vessels belonging td Persons
residing in -Ports or Places situated upon the Rivers
Elbe, Weser, and Ems, under an Embargo; ' but
Danish Vessels are of course exempted from the ope-
ration of the Order : and it is also ordered, " that
no property,or freight-money appearing to belong to

any subjed. of Prussia, or to any persons residing as
aforesaid, respeding which proceedings are now de-
pending, or. shall hereafter !depend, in any of His
Majesty's Courts of Prize, shall be decreed to be re-
stored; nor shall the proceeds 'of any property or
freight4noney, belonging as aforesaid, which' bath
already been decreed to be restored, be paid to or on
behalf of the claimants, but the same shall be kept
in safe custody , until His Majesty's further order
herein."

From the adoption of this measure there is every
reason to believe that the KING of ,PRUSSIA is deter-,
mined to persist in that impolitic and unjust condu&
which led, in the' first instance, to the detention of
Prussian Vessels. His subjeols have already felt se-,
verely the effe&s of his abjeEt submission to the dic-
tates of France : since the issuing of the Order for
detaining Prussian, Vessels, no less than Five Hun-
dred Ships, under the Prussian' Flag, have been,
brought into our Ports.

The Mail from Hamburg-h, which was due yes-
,
terday, has not arrived, but (we learn by a Vessel
which has arrived in the. River, under Pappenburgh
colours, that, previous to her sailing an Order to the
following effe& was posted up at, the Exchange of
Embden :

" That no British Vessel, arriving at this port
with a cargo, should be permitted to stay longer than
twenty-four hours, and then to sail without landing
any of her rnerchandize."

IT is • rather singular that those who have given
His Majesty's Ministers most praise for the secrecy
which they have 'observed respeeling the Communi-
cations' that have lately passed between this.Cotintry
and France, affea to be perfectly acquainted with
their objeCt, and-assert:that they do not relate to 'an
Exchange Of, PriSoners, but to the restoration of
Peace. Without pretending to that information
which -Ministers have very ;wisely thought proper to
withhold upon this subject, we can only form- our
opinion upon general grounds. We stated some time
ago our reasons for thinking that BON,9'ARTE would
male propositions of a pacific tendency to this Coun-
try. The advantages:which he would derive,, in the
present state of the Continent, from a Peace, or even
from a pretra6ted Negotiation • with Great Britain,.
are.too -obvious to escape observation. It would,
,hOwever, be, at the best, u,seless to enter into specu-
lations upon thiS important point, without po'ssess-
ing accurate information ; and the Public may rest
assured that when it is deemed proper to let the real.

nature of the communication be clistinaly stated,
they shall bite as early intelligence, -at leat, as any
of our Cornp,etitors can give them.

- Yesterday "morning His MAJESTY, PRINCESSES
AUGUSTA, SOPHIA,
,and MARY, accompanied by-Ge-
nerals MANNERS and FITZROY, Count MUNSTER,
and Colonel DESBRow, went to St. George's Chapel,
and he?trd an excellent Sermon preached by the Rev.
Dr. DODSWORTH, from the ad chapter of the Ge-
neral Epistle to St. John, and 6th verse. After.

Frogmore.

PHIA, accompanied by Genera! MANNERS and Colo-
nel TAYLOR, took ah airing on horseback in Wind-
sor' Great Park.
PRINCESS AMELiA took an airing in a carriage and

The DUKE of CUMBERLAND arrived at Windsor
on Saturday afternoon from town.
When the last Government -Dispatches left the
Cape of Good Hope Sir HOME 'POPHAM'S Squadron
was ready for sea, and expected to sail the next day
(January 29) ' in pursuit of the French Admiral
LINOIS, in the• Marengo, and his Squadron, who,
froth-the information of the Officers of the Prize,
might daily be expected off the Cape. The Marengo
'Mounts 86 guns, with 800 men on board, and is re-
presented as the finest sailer in the Indian Sea. The'
59th Regiment were ordered,to embark with the
Convoy ready to sail for India. -
The" Cape of Good Hopei's to be the Giand Mili-
tary Depot for.the supply of our Asiatic Possessionl,
the Chief Administration of which, it is said, is to be .
placed in .the hands of Sir J. C HIPPISiEY, and, that
General SIMCoE is to be CoMmander in-Chief.
On Saturday dispatches were received at the Ad-
miralty from Lord Cora.t:NGwooD.
Yesterday Mr. 'Secretary Fox transacted business
• ..
With Lord HOWICK, at the Adiniralty.
A very grand Dinner was given to the Duke of

CLAREN:CE on. Saturday last, by the West Indid
Merchants, at. the London'Tavern. The Company
consisted of, the most respthable persons among
Vhalll were; the -LORD CHANCELLOR, the. Lords,
PENRYN and CAS.I'LEREAGII, Sir WILLIAM YOUNG,
Sir CiIARLES POLE,. Messrs. -ROSE, HIEBERT; &c:
INCLEDON, HILL, NIELD, and other Vocal 'Per-
formers added to. the general .Pleasure. The Duicz
thanked the Company in a
.very handsome manner
for drinking his health, as well as for the compliment
Paid to him in the occasion of the Dinner; and ex
"pressed, hiS high regard for the 'Commercial Interests
of this Country, and his determination to give theiu
all the support in his power.

The-Parks.i,vere yesterday more fully and fashion-
ably attended than any preceding Sunday this
•
season:

We have. received accounts from India by the late
overland Dispatch to the end of January.
.A letter
from BOmbay, dated Jan. 25, states, that HOLKAR,
being greatly; embarrassed by the want of grain in
his camp, had applied to SCINDIA for a supply, and
the latter was about, to furnish.a considerable quan-
tity, when the British Resident made a strong re-
monstrance against his doing so, and SCINDIA, in
consequence, countermanded the orders he had given
on the occasion. It appears, however, that he has
made to HOLKAR large pecuniary remittances.
Some Seik Chieftains in the interest of HOLKAR
have been arming, under pretext of recovering their
rights in Moultan, but really for carrying on the
war in the Guzerat ; and ScINDIA had engaged to
furnish them with three Battalions for the, enter-
prize. The Troops were put in motion ; but some
differences arising as to the terms'of their co7ope-
ration, SCINDIA suddenly recalled them, and the ex-
pedition _has,' for the present, been given up.
The jungle fever has again broken out in some
parts of the Malabar Coast, and -carried off great
numbers of the natives.

A new coinage of gold, silver, and copper, to A
very consideraale -amount; is about to take place at
Calcutta; and the old coin is in consequence to be
called in.

The famous Smith, alias Captain Hoy, who head-
ed the gang of Defenders that burnt the house of the
Speaker of the Honse of Commons in Dublin, in
the year 1792, and did other mischief throuBhout
Ireland, was one of. the persons saved frog. the
French Ship Diomede, burnt at St. Domingo, and
came to. England in the Kingsfither. His person is
identified by one of the crew of that Ship; ayd in-
formation to that purpose was taken before the
Mayor of Portsinouth. on 'Friday.

Sunday.se'nnight, in the morning,
two Officers of the 71st Regiment fought a duel on
the preen,, at Glasgow. They exchanged a shot
each, and one of them was wounded in the thigh.
On Saturday morning, as Mr. Joseph West, of
Salters'-Hall-passage, .who had been in different
parts of the country on business, in a gig, was re-
turning to town, .he stopped at St. Albate.s, where
be fell-Into conversatieni, at an, inn, with a young
man, dresSed as a Naval Officer, and continued in
his company till he Was abont to resume his journey
to London... When Mr. West bad, got into hig gig,
and was about to leave thelown, he saw the young
man walking," and asked him if he was. going -to
town; he replied in the affirmative, and accepted
of Mr. West's invitation to take a ride with
AS they passed on the road, .he talked'of his know-

ledge of tlle,Marquig of Salisbury, Lord Melbourne,

and-a
numbet of other' families of distin&ion, which

induced Mr. Wesmysuppose him to be of a respeala-
ble family. When Mr. West' got to his house, he

asked his companion to walk in and take some re-
