TUESDAY, MAY 26, ISO 7.

WE are at length enabled to communicate to the
P&iblic some i!)telligence respeaing the Expedition
un‘.lcr General CRAUFURD, with respeft to which
these have becn so many conjeaures. This morn-
ing Government received Dispatches from that OtE-
Cer and from Admiral MeaaAy, 'dated at the Cape
of Good Hope, March '26. Admiral 'AitritliAlr 'ar-
tived there early in March, and was very shortly
after joined by Gen. CHAUFURD and Captain STOP-
FORD, with the transports and troops. These Dis-
patches were brought by the Pauline, and when she
left the Cape, the whole Expedition was preparing
to sail. The Troops, we are happy to state, were
all in high'health and..spirits. It is now evident
ihat the conje6tures which have been formed with
respe& to the objet of this Expedition, were erro-
brous. The general opinion was, that it was des-
tined for 'South America ; but we are now inclined
to think that it is destined kr.the Mauritius.
About a month before the Pauline sailed, the
Harrier had arrived at the Cape from India. She
ITid parted from the Blenheim, bearing Sir THOMAS
TROUBRIDGX'S Flag, and the Jason Frigate, in
hurricane, to the Eastward of the Island of Mada-
gascar. It was supposed that these Vessels had run
for that Island, as neither of them had reached the
Cape when the Pauline came away.

This morning a Teleg • tphic Di,p,i.i:.) + 1 reached
the Admiralty ft= Plymouth, stating that the Royal
Georgi, bearing Sir Jour: Ducxwowries Flag, was
