EXPEDITION UNDER GEN. CRAUFURD.

We have received the subjoined Acconnt of the
Principal occurrences that took place after the Expe-
dition left England :
The Expedition sailed from Port Praya Bay, St.
Jago, in the evening of the 11th of January, under
Convoy of the Spencer, of 74 guns, the Hon. Capt.
STOpFOED, Commodore; TOSeits, 74, Capt.- Ho,PE;.
PaUlina Sloop, 16, Capr.LUISILEY j and the Haughty
trig, Lieutenant MITCHEL. There were 31 Sail of
transports. On the following morning the Captain
and Ganges, of 74 guns each, Captaitis COCKBUKNE
gnd HALKETT, left the Fleet, being ordered toEng-
land.
On the .::>gth of January the Fleet crossed the
Equator, in longitude 22' West.
The Expedition, after 'a tedious passage of -siMy-
eight days, arrived at Simon's Bay, at the Cape af.
Good Hope, in the morning of the 200 of March,
Otlithe 24th the Fleet came to Anchor in Tabietay,.
Tor the- 6etter Supply of water and ,refreshrhents for.
the trocipS. The Oojed and de.,tiliation Of this Ex 7
Irld been so industriously concealed, that
When the Flfeet sailed fioni'St. Jago, in January, no
Person, the Comrriodore and the Brigadier-General
€xcepted, was supposed to be informed of the:next
rendezvous of the-Fleet, many false and yague re-
Ports having been industriously circulated' for the.
Purpose of misleading those who were not entrusted
with the secret. The force under the orders of
brigadier-General CRAUFURD consisted of the fol-
lowing battalions and detachments of regiment's.

Some of the Masters of the transports were re-.
ihoved from their ships, for insolence and Linwarrant-
ble =Ana to the Officers on -board and the Mi-
litary Comnianding Ottkers on board each transport.
were vested with a certain deotee of controul, over
each of the Masters, of much the same nature as ob-
tains in the Navy. This in all our Expeditions was
loudly called for; and we hope, thatin future no
unpleAsarit Misunderstanding can ever exist regarding
the necegkiry prerogatives of Commanding
.Officers
4 Chief over :he Masters of transports. '

Although all the regiments of the Expedition have
been embarked neatly seven months, and "some of
them even nine, the degree of health which prevails
is unparalleled.
The General ordered th 6 troops to land by regi-
!tents, for the purpose of cleaning and white-wash-
ing the transportS, and giving the men exercise;

A part of the PRINCE of WALES'S Light Dragoons.
(the toth) are' ordered on foreigtvgervice; and. are
expe6ted to embark next week, to join the Expedi-
tion about to sail for the Continent : the lour troops
in Poitriford Barracks are those destined for this duty :
their Royal Colonel went down last- week to inspect
the Corps, and afterwards dkned with his Officers.

ELOrtmE:ct-The fashionable world have been
busily employed for the last three days in endeaVopr.:
Ing to account for the extraordinary Elopement of
the CounteSs of *iih Mr. F who had
hitherto heed deemed otie of the most harmless of
Ceci.teos in the whole line of modern gallants. The
flight of the illicit lovers was so secretly contrived,
that neither her Noble Lord nor any one of his
household had the slightest Suspicion of their design.
tier Ladyship was provident eboiigh, it . seems, to
tarry off her jewels, though she left all her lovely
children behind her ! The.route of the amorousfu-
gitivei has not ,been discovered. The Lady's own
41114 are, by this disastrous event, Involved. in .the
deepest affliEtion.
The General Assembly of the church of Scotland
have voted an ,Address to His MAJESTY, on the pre-
sent situation of affairs. When it was read, the fol..-
lowing Amendment was proposed : -

" We venerate the concern which His Majesty manifests in
411 his condul, and all times, for the Religious llnterests of the
People; yet, consistent with our Principles of Presbyterians.,
aj-1d as Members of a National Church, which has the same
Legal Establishment With the Church of 'England, we cannot
Qut contemplate" .With 'regret the continuance of those cir-
curnstarices which exclude Presbyterians from Civil and Mi-
litary Offices, without a public prdiession of •E piscopacy ; and
we trust that the time will soon come, when. the Members
of the Presbyterian and Episcopal Churches will, be placed bn
an equal footing id all parts of His Majesty's DorniniohS:"
After a long reasoning, a vote was put, and the
roll bein,4, called, there appeared for the Address 158,
for the Amendment, 53—Majority, 105.----The Ad-7
dress was therefore approvqd of., •
