YESTERDAY afternoon, about half past two o'cloel,
Mr. BASILIco, the Messenger, landed at Deal, with
Dispatches from Lord LA,UDERDALE. He imme-
a!elY set off for Town in a post-chaise, and arrived
at the Foreign Office between one and two &PIO&
this morning. A Cabinet COUncil was summoned
this, morning to take these Dispatches into consi-
der.ation. We 'need hardly state to our Readers, that
nothing has transpired respe&ing the nature of the
Dispatches ; but as reports have been circulated, for
two or three days, that the Negotiation had been
abruptly brOket? off.f-77that Lord LAUDERDALE was
on his return home-and, even that' he had
been sent to. Yerdun, &c. which, though. wholly
.destitute of foundation, had produced
.30111e' ef-
fect upon the Funds, the arrival of a Messenger,
which at least proved that
.the Negotiation was still
pending, caused the Stocks to rise this morning above
one per Cent. • •

THE Transports comprising the Expedition which
is to sail under the command of Admiral STIRLING,
arrived at Plymouth on. Tuesday morning. Admiral
STIRLING has hoisted his Flag on board the Sampson,
of 64 guns. This Expedition will sail in a very
short time. We have already stated that we be-
lieve it is destined for South America.
Admiral Louts, with the Malta,: and three other
Ships of the Line, will very shortly sail upon -a
Secret
,Expedition. A part of the 4th Dragoons,
or Queen's pays, arrived at Plymouth on ..Mon,
day evening, and as soon as the remainder arrived
the whole were to be embarked on board thelllalta
and the other Line-of-Battle Ships, and to sail im-
mediately.

LORD G. L. GOWER, late Ambassador to the
Court of St. Petersburgh, arrived yesterday morning
at Yarmouth, in the 4riadne Frigate.

, ATelegraphicDispatch was this morning received
at the Admiralty, stating, that the ExpeditiOn, which
had again sailed from the Downs, was obliged, by
contrary wind, to put back again. One of the
,Transports,' however, hr.s reached Portsmouth.

CONSIDERABLE doubts were entertained, &dm the
language used some time ago in the Moniteur,
whether it was the intention of the French Go-
vernment to permit his PrUssian Majesty to retain
possession of the Elealorate of Hanover ; but if we
may judzc;rom the D,:claration in Council, made by
the KING of PRUSSIA to the Deputies from the Ha-
noverian Provinces, he seems determined not. easily
to give up the onlycompensation which he,has ob-
tained, or which he is likely to obtain, for the void-
able cessions which he has been con elled to nuke.,
He distinaly states, that England cannotprotea Ha-,
nor er---,that it can be proteaed by Prussi,a alone, and
that the welfare and security both of the Hatio=
verian States and the Prussian Monarchy depend
upon-their union and incorporation.

A detachment . of; In is fr9m :the ,76th
meat, lately arrive 4 from tbe East Indies, was con::
reyed in Waggons from Dartford to Greenwich, on
their. route to the York Hospital, Chelsea, late on
Saturday evening-last; twenty-tour out of the forty
were disabled, either by the loss 'of a leg or an arm.
They had, it seems, received their woCads at the-siege
of .Bhurtpore. From some informality in their in-
strudions,
,the Constable refused to billet them in
Greenwich ; and the.Odicer, who came with them,'
applied to the Coldnel of the Royal East London
Militia, who, ordered straw to be prOeured for their
bedding in the Guard-room, and humanely afforded
them every possible accommodation ; and, on their.
going away, gave each man 6d, to drink the King's ,
health.

On Wednesday sennight a window in the house
of Glenachy, occupied . by Capt. 'TELER, of the

men of suspicious appearance had come to n;public-
house in Dalmellingto.n, Capt. 'FEUER procured.
two Constables, and had them arrested: On search.-
ing
,theM, although the spoons were not found, the.
circumstance (-; their having a quantity of powder
and ball determined him to send them tbr examina-
tion to Ayr. The party had not proceeded far till
the Prisoners drew out each a pistol, which their
searchers had not discovered, and ran off in different
diredions, They Were closely pursued, but, before,
being taken, the'one fired hiS pistol a.t Capt.TELFER,

on the principles and advice kindly given by Sir .T:'-
.ANK:s (who is now happily recovered), h,as seleeted
the Sheep which are this year to be sold; and they
are thought to be lunch superior in carcase to thOse
before sold-a quality in which the finest woolled
Spanish Sheep are often miserably deficient.- . '
The inhabitants of this Metropolis were yesterday
alarmed by an apprehenSion of the approach of it
dreadful thunder-.storm.---Retween three and four

appearance of the close of evening. In a rew

lars in many parts•of the town, and giving to sane
of the streets the .appearance of rivers. About half,
past four the rain ceased, the-atmosphere cleared

and the inhabitants were relieved. from the teas f` Of
the thunder and lightning, of which there had been
sb many symptoms.
