take any ' part „in the War=—that, there was
not a Cabinet 'won the Continent that would
place the slightest confidence id the present
Administration ;" and yet this very Administration,
Which had not the slightest influence on the . Con-
tinent, is now accused of having forced one of the
most powerful States into War, wholly unprepared.
But this is not all. When. Austria had declared
War, it cannot be forgotten that the Opposition
Writers, 'day after day, proclaimed that Austria had
not gone to war for British Interests ;—that Austria
disclaimed all connexion or concert with us in the
War ;—..that, in faat, she had only commenced
tiostilities to avenge her own wrongs ;-;--and yet, in
the vel7 same Papers, we are now told, this very
Power, which disclaimed all connexion and concert
tvith us, was so completely-under British influence,
as to Commence a War, upon which her very exist-
ence depended, at the command of the British Mi-
l'htrY.—lt would be an idle waste of time to corn,
toent upon such flaring, such absurd contradiaions.

bovait, .etc. 13.---His 'Majesty's ship Plaury
Still remains in the Roads, owing to the very Un-
favourable-state of weather ; and the wind being at
N. N. E. she is unable to make way under juryL
masts, and it is thought she' will not sail till to-
morrow.

The'Flags have been flying at the Castle, Forts,
and Viftualling-Office, half-way up, in consequence
of the remains of Lord NELSON being off here.

PLYUOUTZI, DEC. 12.—Arrived the Brig Hum-
phries, Captain JOHN YOUNG, from Quebec, laden
with timber, &c. for the Dock-yard, at this Port ;
also, the Schooner Mary, Captain itztmzu, ; and
the Brig John and Sarah, Capt..--, both from
Cork, with provisions.
Letters received here, by an overland express
from Bengal to England, dated Culloden, the sth
July,:state that, by the very aolive operations of
Re:Af-Admiral Sir B. PELLEW, Bart. in his distribu-
tion of his Naval Force and the hired Armed Ships
he bad purchased for Government service, a great
stop was put to the depredations of the Enemy's
Privat,:ers in the ban-Seat: on our trade and com-
merce. The Ships' Companies were all heslthy
and well. The Bengal and part of the Bonilla),
Army had joined inland, to be ready to corm-
menee operations in the field if necessary.
The following Snips are now in dock, to be
slightly repaired (and then to go out to make room
for other Ships off the North Jetty, to be repaired),
viz. Royal George, 1 to guns ; Bedfinyl, 74 ; Sump.
son, 64 guns ; Indefatigable, of 44 guns ; and La
Didon, of 48 guns ; the latter Ship was commii-
sioned yesterday by Capt. BAKER; her •
•daiiiage is
mostly in her quarters and stern, and will be soon
repaired.
Yesterday and this forenoon 950 French Prison-
ers were landed at Alin Bay (and conduced to.the
new American prison, higher barracks) from the
Royal Sovereign t to, Belkisle, 84, and Leviathan,
74, from off Tratalgar. So great is the animosity
between the French and Spaniards, that if either of '
these cordial Allies were to catch any st4Prisoners
of tale other Nation in their own prison barrack
yard, great risque would be run of an assassination
taking place.

The Neutral Ship with Segovia Spanish wool,
worth 30,0001. detained and sent in here by the
Lord Nelson, of 14 guns, Captain Caowre, of this
Port, as enerny's property, was finally condemned
by the Court of Adtniralty last Monday. Letters
have been received to that elle& this day by the
Owners' ProEfor, which has occasioned great joy
among the Owners, Officers, and Crew of the Lord
Nelson. It has blown a gale all day.

TORBAY, Met. 4.-6 Since my last, arrived at Tor-
bay, to join the Fleet, }lis Majesty's Ship Plan-
tagenet. •

This morning, in a violent squall, the wind flew
round from N. W. to N. and from that to N. N. E.
and blew a whole gale : the Fleet, consisting of the
Ville de Paris, Hibernia, San Josef; Princess Royal,
!fall*, Warrior, Prince George, linpetueux, Bar-
iteur, Dragon, Captain, Triumph, and Plantagenet,
prepared to weigh, but it blew so tremendous that
they were unable'. I believe there are few Ships
but what have slipt (as they were, orturiately riding
at a single anchor) and are gone to sea, thank God,
all well. The two Cutters, Nimrod and industry,
alias Far, are preparing to foll6w. Still continues to
blow heavy. One of the. Plymouth Vietuallers has
hoisted a signal of distress, and our Fishermen are
just gone offWith"an anchor to her.
