iIONDAY, MARCH-16, 1807.

WE received this morning a Letter from Thurso,
in Scotland, which states, that a French 44-gun Fri,
gate was driven on shore near that town, i❑ the late
violent gales ; 22 of the crew were drowned, and
about .500, reached the shore. Some of the Troops
and the Volunteers in the neighbourhood were_ pre,
paring to march against ,them when our account
Callle oft.

'THE contradietion, in this Paper of Saturday last,
of reported resignation-of a Noble Lord formerly
atthe head of Administration, is fully confirmed,.
and the :alledgcd grounds -of differences in the Ca-
binet have been whollyrrernoved. The- sentiments
of, a Great Peronage, on'the proposed measure re-
speecling the admission of Catholics into the higher
,rankSOlthe Army and Navy, have produced the.
fe6t that ought Jo be, expected, in a dutiful con',
formiry to those sentiments on the part of Admini,
'stration. A Cabinet ,Councils was held yesterday,
which did not clOSe till a late hourlast night, and
'Lord GRENVILI:.E left town this morning to- wait
upon His MAJESTY at. Windsor. The Bill at pre-
sent before the House of Commons Will not, we
believe, be pressed in its present. shape, lant will
be altered in conformity to' the Bill which passed in
the Irish Parliament.

Some. Of• the Public Prints state that two French
Line-of-Battle Ships and a Frigate had been, captured
by Admiral CO6IRANE'S Squadron, in .the West
Indies. According to this account the French Ships
were in the Chesaneak, and resolved to remain
there7--that the British Division pretended to depart
for a distant station, and that in consequence of this
stratagem the French had been induced to venture
out, and were captured. Are should be happy to con-
firm the report, but no account of it has been, receiv-
ed at the Admiralty.

' WE understand that a Treaty,. offenSiVe and de-
fensive, has been arranged between .. this Country,
Prussia;and,Sweden, and it is said that Mr. PIERRE;.
POINT was the bearer oflhe Treaty. The last ac-
. .
count which. Mr. PIERREPOINT had heard 'or the,
Russian Army was of the loth February, two:days,
after the Battle of Eylau ; at that time they: were:
encamped about two' miles from the field of battle ;
but it was expeecled that, from the want of provi.:'
sions, they . would be compelled to retreat., • .Tbe'.
French. Army was retreating in all diree-tions, *with
the intention, as it was supposed, of crossing the
Vistula. Some Dutch'Paperswl4ch arrived yeSter--
day state, that a considerable part of the French
Army' had aaually crossed the"Vistola-L-that the
whole of it waste be concentrated in the neighbour-
hood
of Thorn, and that Warsaw and Praga were to be
evacuated. If BoNApArcrE really intends to abandon
Wars ~v, anato coned his whole Army dear Thoin, it
appears to us to afford a strong proof that he entertains
. . . .
considerable apprehension ot: the intentions of the
EMPEROR Of AL/STRIA, whose. Araly -might nn-
doubtedly effeEtually,ent of the retreat of the French
if they reniained in the vicinity ¢f Warsaw ; but

a pretty strong proof of the terror with which they
have inspired the French

The Cossacks are a banditti against which there ,
is no security but a constant vigilance. Tbey attack
the army amidst the silence of night, and in the'
most impenetrable intrenchments. The plains of
the Vistula are intersected almost every league by a

parallel river. The Cossacks lie concealed like ot-
ters, and rush out when they are least expected..
The Great Emperor has ordered that they shall.be
treated as Brigands, and man and horse, when ta-
ken, be quartered on the spot. This has, in same
degree, checked the courage of these barbmans, who
respeek no laws, give no mercy, and, like their Scy-
thian Ancestors, would spread ravage over the whole
surfaceof Europe !"

TNERE was on Thursday last a general discharge
of artillery from the Batteries on the French Coast,
but whether for the purpose of celebrating a vi&ory,
or of announcing BONAPARTE'S return to Paris, can
only be ascertained by the receipt of French Papers.

.blade of spectators, composed 'principally of the
Proprietors and their friends, together \,vith a lame
cotiipany of Ladies, who all appeare4 much grati-
.fied :on this most interesting occasion.: The day
proved highly. auspicious, and though the weather
was rather cold., the beauty of the scene was much
heightened by the brilliant rays of the ,sun. Early
in the morning every thing about the works de-
noted the approaching festivity; two colours were
seen tlYing or the entrance lock, and the Royal Stan-
dard was ciiplayed on the staff in midst of the
island. At two. o'clock the Ship intended to.take
.the lead in entering 'began' to dress ,in the cOlours oaf
various nations ; and the remaining Ships also, fol.-
lowed the 'example, though in a plainer ,style.;.--=
About the same time the company assembled in (he
insular *wharfage, where marquees and a cold 01-
hition were",prepared. for their accommodation. .At
length the tide rose to a level with the water in the-.
Bastin, thevres were thrown open, and,guns were
fired-as a signal for the vessels to enter. At about
