ZONDON, DECEMBER 29, 1801.

IT is generally understood, that the Adjournment
of Parliament to the time orFginally proposed, is
deferred merely on account of the recent Mutiny in
the Fleet lying in Bantry Bay. The Mutiny? there is
no doubt, is completely quelled, and Fifteen of the
Ringleaders are now on ' their passage to Spithead
for the purpose of being tried by a Court Martial—
It is generally supposed that, should the weather
have permitted, the Squadron destined for the West
Indies has by this time sailed—On this head we can
state nothing certain, because we believe no pc3itive
information has been" received, but it seems very
probable that on a subject of such moment to the
Nation in general as that which has recently occurred
in the Fleet, Ministers are naturally desirous to
make some communication to Parliament before its
Members separate for any considerable time.

SOME uneasinessii—woltesterday learnt, prevailed
in the:City, respPli;lo.llB'Sailing.of the Brest Fleet.
This subjea, it Will be seen in our Parliamentdry
Report,- was slightly adverted to last night in the
House of Commong, and "the answer of the CHAN-
CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER Will no doubt be read
with great attention and avidity. .He admitted that
the sailing, of the Brest Fleet, though no Official
Account of that circumstance had been received
by Government., seemed certain ; but he did not
conceive it prudent in the present state of things to
declare whether any communication had taken.place-.
between the two Governments' upon the subjea, or
Whether any means had been pursued to provide
against that -vvhich vas not likely to happen, but
Whieh,waS still within the scope of posSibility.—lt
would be presumption in us to prestind to state
more upon this subjea, than Ministers eltuse to cont.
municate, but we have before asserted, upon what
we know to be good authority, that the Expedition
to St. Doiningo was known to our Government be-
fore its otijca was publicly declared in France,
and that there does not seem to us any reasonab:e,
ground of alarm upon the subjea. At any rate, it
is absurd to suppose that it is an, objet which llas,
not attraaed the serious attention of rise British
Ministry.
We have reason to
,believe that the Definitive
Treaty .will soon be brought to a conclusion.— '
Colonel La O...LEHALts,, we understand, does' not-
return to. Amiens, from which it is reasonably in-
ferred, that the stay of the Marquis CORNWALL IS,
in France, is not expeCted to be long.

One Hamburgh Mail remains due.

and is much cheaper than fresh beef.
