MOND:9I", FEBRUARY 17,' 1606:

Lim night we received the H anz ttrgh Corm-
cpondenten of the 4th, sth, 7th, And Bth inst.
The intelligence which these Papers contain con-
firms, beyond a doubt, what we stated so long ago
as- the•e3d ult. namely, that a Convention had been
entered into between the KING of Paussi andI3otiA-
PARTE, according to which the former was to occupy
.Hanover provisionally, until a General Peace should
take place. We re-asserted this on Monday last, and
in opposition to the statements of several other Papers,
•
maintained that the occupation of Hanover by the.
KING of PRUSSIA (whom they. announced to have.
taken unqualified possession of that Decant-ate) Was
in fast nothing more than the result of the Converi.
tioe to which We_haVe alluded:. Our '•staiement is
now officially- and Unequivocally' con6rmed by the
Proclamation of itiennign 'of PRUSSIA respthing the
occupation bf Hanover, which states, that for
the puipose of preventing the flames of War froth
spreading' to the ,North of Germany, c, a Conven-
tion has been concluded between Us, and the:EMPE
RO4 .01 tharag.l.,;:c fl, in pursuance of which, the SCa tes
of 15, BRITANNIC MAJMT-in Germany will not be
again occupied by French or other li-oops combined
with them ; and, till the cpricllgicai qf a aaural
Peacc,, will he wholly occapted and governed by us
This, as well as the rest of the Proclamation, is
dearly decisive as to the object and the motivesef
His Pint,siap Majesty in occupying Hanover, and no
-doubt can exist that it is Much better' that Hanover
should be oecupied by Prussian than- by French
Troops. What may be the ultimate destiny of the
Eleaorate of Hanover, in the event of the conclu-
sion of a general Peace, we do nit pretend to con-
jeaure. There being, however, only a choice be-
tween Fre neli and. Prussian occupation, we certainly
think the hitter, in the mean time, infinitely More
desirable than the former.

A report was circulated at Copenhagen, that Con-
ferences were to be- opened at Berlin between the
Count BE.RNSTOILFI. the Danish Minister,' and the
Russian and French Ministers.

The old stories continue to be circulated of instir-
re&ions in the Turkish Pr6vinces, which will. no
doubt ere look form a, pretext for attempting to
dismember the Ottoman 'Empire. •
It is remarkable, that these Papers do not, contain
any intelligence respeaink the prugiess of the Yi.ench
Army in Naples.
A Letter from' Barcelona states the loss of ,an
English Convoy proceediug from Gibraltario Naples._

We have received .Jamaica Gazettes to the dtst

duced the goad effeit of iMprov int the discipline of

,The Royal G#ette of the p6th repeats the
rumour which has run thrpugh the I land Papers, .
that a French force had arrived at Martinique,; but .
more recent accounts from the Windward Isla-rids
discredit this stateinent.---A. house in Port-Royal, in
which were Captains INGLEFIELD, INPDONNELL,
and COGIILAN, of. the Royal Navy, and Lieutenant
BROWSE, of the Royal Artillery, had Killen to the
ground. The three Captains were much braised,
•particularly 'the latter, but fieither -of them dan-
gerously..
The. Slave ship Reindeer had arrived: at Port .
Royal, after a severe.adion with the Sirenc French
Privateer, the same that captured the Chesterfield
Packet. The Renard, Captain Cocalt.ANT,: 'has cap-
tured the French Privateer heguna; 'of three guns
and 45 men. Our Cruizers had re-captured se\ eral
American Vessels which had been taken by French ;
and Spanish'l'rivateers. .

I.Va sire carry 40 find thatre' considerable Appre
hensiops are still entertained for the - safety of the
West India- Fleet which sailed from cork in-Oeto-
ber last. Letters been received from St.Thomas'S,
which state, that the Mplune, one of the Fleet, had
arrived at Tortola, and had brought an account of
the capture of fifteen Ships: -It appears that on the
arrival of the Fleet at }Madeira, they received in- -
formation that a French squadron was cruizlng in
thatquarter, in consequeriae. of whicia Fleet
came to inchor at Madeira ; but after waiting,lotne

with the French SqUadron, which raptured, as we
have already stated, fifteeb of thetn:

Since writing the above'the following intelligence
has been received, which was -stuck up at Lloyd's :

" Part of the Fleet which sailed from Cork under
convoy of His Majesty's Ships Fisgard and Woolverine
are arrived at Ihrbadoes; they were Ulm in with
by a French Squadron, in lat. 36. long. 2:3. (sup-
posed on the 7th of December) which• totally dis-,
persed them, and many of the Fleet had not ar-
rived."

WE are sorry to find that the Dublin Papers which
arrived this Morning confirm the statement in this,
Paper on Saturday, that several Corporate and Rib-
lie Bodies in Ireland intended to present Addresses;
to Parliament, praying for a repeal of the Ad of
Union. Whatever might have been the opinion of
some of the .Merabers •of the present Administra-
tion of that measure when it was proposed, we can-:
not suppose that they would for a moment' gitre
their saniftion to any attempt to repeal it now
it is therefore very much to be lamented that, at;
sueh a moment as the present, discU.sions should:.
be rei-ivod which canon 1 to any good, but
may be predudive of the most fatal consekiileneest
It is. stated m the Dublin Journal of TlispfiilaflaSt,
that an East India Ship of great value -I=l!heen'•
driven on shore near Eunistymond, in the county of
Clare. Neither the name of the Ship nor anypar-
ticalars• are Mentioned.

Svizaat. new Appointments, and the creation of
s:::ven new Peers, will be found in our Entract from
the Gazette. The former, are chiefly thaw which
we had previously -announced.
