BONAPARTE Still remains at Warsaw, where 110
has been framing a Provisional Government f°l'
'that part 'of Poland which be now occupies.
Instead of re-establishing. the Kingdom of Poland;'
and restoring its independence, according to his''
promise, he has merely appointed a Direetorpwn-
sisting of seven Members, and he has hitherto l'ePt
a most guarded silencc vv"itn.respe6t to Austrian Po"

between 'the KING of SWEDEN
and goNArArrre
because it will be recolleaed that GeneratMoßTlEo

for several days at Malmo, iwith the lizNio of SW

'Went to General MORTIER's head-quarters, and the

WE have, received American Papers : they con—
tain nothing of importane, but some details re-
speaing Colonel 13otta ; they are, however, So very
Vague, that it is almost impossible to ascertain from
them the real state of the case, According to some
accountS, he has alually thrown off the mask, and
put himself at the head. of 7000 men.

• Ws stated on Saturday that Dispatches had been
received at the Admiralty from Admirals Hoop and
MURRAY, who had both arrived With the. Squadrons
under their command at Fort Praya : they sailed
from the Channel nearlynt thelsatne time, and ar-
rived at Port Praya ,within a, few hours of each
other. It was, we believe intended that the
pedition under General,CßAUtTlll) was to be joined •
by the Squadron under the compand of Admiral
Mt74IRAY, and
.POrt Praya was appointed as tII6.
place of rendezvous. It was eiqie6ted that Oc*,
nerAl CRAUFURD would have embarked there na

and cabins, &c. were prepared for theaccoMinos*,

ianuary 19,

" I take the Opportunity of the unexpeeted return
'of the Cormorant Sloop to "Englima, id' send you a
few Fines, We arrived here yesterday, after a toler-
ably good 'passage of 17 days from the Lizard. The
Squadron under Sir S. HooD; which left St. Helen's
befOre us, arrived here the day before yesterday. We
expe6ted on ow- arrival here to 'have fotiud the
expedition ender the comtnandof General' CitAU •
-
'LIRD and Captain STorroab, but it sailed se-
Vera' days ago. I do not know our destination,
'or %,,i;hetlier it was intended that we should act in
conceit with the Expedition under General CR:kV-.
or- not, but I •understand that he was to
have gone on board the • Poiyphentits, if we had
het •him 'het*, and preparations were made for
his reception bn* board that Ship. We have just
learnt, by the Minerva Sloop, dispatched by Lord
.cli..-L:triOwoon for that purpose, of the re-cap-
ture of Buenos Ayres. I suppose 'the :intelligence,
had reached you some time ago, We exiieet to leave
the place in a few hours.---Wb are ail in good
tealth."

bispAitnes,were_ received yesterday morning at
the Secretary of State'S Office from Lieut. Colonel
CoLLiNs, the Governor of the New Settlement on
Van Diemen's Land. The Dispatches were broaght
by Lieut. StatnnesT, who left the Settlement in Sep-
t Ember last,- in the Carleton Whaler. At the time
he sailed provisions were very dear and scarce in the
Settlement, but supplies were expeatd from Port,
Jackson, and no doubt was entertained thatin a few
Years the colony would become flourishing, as the soil
very_ good, and the climate mild. When Lieut.
Stkope 14 wasat St. Helena the Mernpitisarrived there
with Dispatcheifrom Sir Hoxn Porneocaimouncing
the loss of Buenos Ayres k Lieut. SL.tDDEN then
took his passage home in the Memphis. When he
areiVeti. in the Channel he was chased by two
Fresh Luggers, but the Memphis escaped'by su-
perior sailing.
We are sorry to add, that the Britannia, which
011ved on Saturday from Botany Bay, which she
left on the 23 th of August; brings an account of a
considerable Scarcity prevailing in that Settlement.

There was a Cabinet Council held yesterday in
bawnitig-street ; after which a Messenger was sent
with Dispatche§ to the Duke of BEDFORD in Ireland.

Yesterday morning t heeßoyal Horse Guards (Blues),
and the King's Own Royal Stafford, Militia, paraded
in Windsor Palace-yard. • His MAJESTY did not
Sped.them, -but rode to St. George's Chapel, with
Pritwessei AUGUSTA, SOPHIA, AMELIA, and MARY,
attended ;by Lady ISABELLA THY NNE,Generals MAN,
lIERS and FITZROY, COIQIICIS TAYLOR and DEstaow,
Where a sermon Was preached by the Rev. Dr.
NOWTHEY, from the 4th chapter of St. Matthew, Ist
.verse ; afterwards, rode to Frogmore to dinner. Her
MAJESTY and Princess ELIZABETH had Divine Ser-
tiee peribrmed in the Palace, afterwards rode to
k.rogmore to dinner, and returned with the KING,
4kc. to the Palace at three o'clock.
Sir S. HOW, in the Centaur, with the Comas
Prigate, arrived off Madeira on the t oth of January,
and sailed the next day without anchoring : • desti-
tation u•nknown.—The Laurel Frigate, under sealed
orders, arrived at Madeira, from Plymouth, on the
15th, and sailed oti the ifith.—Tbe Quail Schooner,
from Plymouth, arrived there on the 18th.•.
An Express has been sent from the Foreign Office
to prevent the embarkation of Lord. CALEDON for
the Cape of Good Hope, and to require his Lord-
ship's attendance in town. Some advices which Mi-
nisters have recently received from that Settlement
have, it is understood, occasioned this proceeding.
The Spartan Frigate is appointed to carry out
Lord CALEDON, as Governor, to the Cape of Good
Hope the Spartan and Modeste will go out as
single ships ; the Modeste carries out Lord MrsTo
to India. The Antelope, of 5o guns, which was
appointed to carry out Lord CALEDON, is to pro-
ceed, the moment the wind is fair, with the out-
ward-bound East-India Fleet andqransports.
From some *mtercered letters it appears that the.
Ghantlii insUrrations has been fomented by pro-
mises of assistance from France, and that several
French Officers, with military stores, .were to be
lauded on the Travancore or adjoining coast. A
number of British Cruizers have, in consequence,
been stationed from thence to Point Manipoer, to
intercept them, and the. Rajah of Travancore has
taken active means to prevent the passage of strangers
through his. territories.
