in sight.

Tnis morning a Mail from Toaningen arrived.'
Our Readers will find. in a subsequent ColuMn the
most interesting articles of intelligence which it con-

tains.

By‘Letters from Barbadoes we learn, that, on the,
evening of the gth of April, the Morne Fortunee,
Schooner arrived there from St. Lucia, with
Bence, that the Rochefort Squadron, consisting of
five Sail of the Line and three Frigates, with 3500
Troops on board, were on their passage_ and , hourly
expe&ed at Martinique. Sir A. COCHRANE, who
was lying at Barbadoes with his Squadron, put to
sea on the following day, to cruize off Martinique,
in the hope of intercepting tivlrn.
The Curieux Sloop of War, Capt...SHERIFF,
which was sent into Falmouth early in March, for:
ships waiting there to join the West India Convoy,
under the Hippomenes, and afterwards to join the
Commodore off the Lizard, succeeded in bringing
out six sail ; .but a strong gale of wind coming„
on at East, he missed the convoy, and made the
best of his way to Barbadoes, where he arrived
safe with the Vessels under his charge. early in
April. The Hippomenes,with the rest of the Convoy,
arrived-on the loth. The Curieux was to sail on
the 11th, with the imh Regiment on board, for
Grenada, and, afterwards to join Sir A. COCI4RANE
off Martinique.

! AT paragraph has appeared in several Papers, stat-
ing, from, authority, that in consequence of Sir F.
BURDETT'S health, the chairing cannot take place
these three or four weeks. We do not pretend to
be accurately acquainted with thestate of Sir FR AN-
ci s BtJnDETT'S health, bat we have heard another
cause assigned for the delay of the ceremony of
chairing. We have heard that it is the intention of
the friends of Sir FRANCIS that the chairing should
take place on the day of the meeting of Parliament,
and that he is to be conveyed in triumph to the
House of Commons, attended by an immense mob.
We do not vouch for the truth of this report, but it
is by no means improbable. Those who could pre-
vail upon that unfortunate young man to publish the
atrocious Advertisement which has appeared in his
name (for we do not suspe& him of Writing it) may
induce him to insult the City of Westminster and
the Legislature in the manner to which we have
alluded. We trust, howe' , that due care will be
taken to preserve the -_,ice of the MetrOOolis, and
to prevent the Le;.:*,,aturo from being insulted by a
licentious meta.

The deplorable state of the Continental Press,
which is obliged to bend to the will, of an haughty
Usurper, who holds "so many of thy' Continental
Powers in disgraceful vassalage, has prevented any
authentic accounts of the real condition of the
French Army in Poland froth being known to
.the
world at large. Private reports, however, which
seem well entitled to credit, say, that. the French
troops now in that country are in the most lament-
able distress, wanting almost every. thing to satisfy
nature; and to keep them in a state of stibordina4tion.'
The utmost efforts are made by BoNiqARTE
his Officers to prevent all communiccition of this
miserable state of his troops from reaching France
•
but, notwithstanding all their attempts, it is confi-
dently said that not only the Government at home'
are well aware of the, situation of the Army, l•nt-
that it is also well known to the friends and rela-
latives of those unhappy men who have been draWn
to such a distance from their country, tnerely to,
indulge the pride .of an unfeeling Usurper, and
to be the sacrifices of insatiable ambition :—Nay•
it is also positively stated, that even the French Se-
nate, submissive and fawning as it has hitherto been,
upon every requisition from their. Despot, a6tually
ventured to deliberate upon the Message which he
lately transmitted, ordering a new leVy of Con-
scripts, and not merely to deliberate, for vehement
debates ensued; and these debates, it' is said, oc-
cupied no less th4n three days before the Senate
could bring itself into a disposition to accede to die
command which they had received.

Yesterday morning His MAJESTY, PRINCESSES
SOPHIA, and AMELIA, attended by the Hon. Miss.
EGERTON, Generals GARTH and FITZROY, Colonels'
TAYLOR and Desanow, rode in the Great Park, till
twelve o'clock.

HER MAJESTY and PRINCESS ELIZABETH took an
airing to Frogunore Lodge and Gardens, and returned
at two o'clock.

Sunday evening His MAJESTY, the DUKE of
Sussex, and the fetNcessrs walked on the terrace,•
for the first time this season, till eight o'clock. The
company was extremely numerous.

Her Royal Highness the Princess of WALRS gave
a grand break fast, yesterday, at her house, at Black-
heath, which was attended by a large partyof
wl:o left town at an early hour. Lady l'xivra
and the Hon. Miss DRUNI MOND arrived at
heath, at I o'clock, in an elegAt landan, dra xi)
by four greys.
