MAILS.

DOVER, OCT. 21.

TsfE Queen Charlotte Passage.vessel, Capt. CUR-
LING, arrived from Calais this morning, and from
some Gentlemen of Dover who came passengers in

her, and who left Calais between six and seven
o'clock last night, we learn that BONAPARTE had
not then reached Calais, but he was still fully ex-
peaed. Mr. MED:GAUD had left Calais for some
days, to meet him on his road, and preparations
continue to be making to receive him. A Garde
d'Honneg,, composed of fifty of the smartest and
most respFaable young men of Calais is formed, to
receive and attend him. One of the Gentlemen who
came over in the Queen Charlotte saw them assem-
bled in their new uniforms (made for the occasion)
last night, at the Hotel de Vile, to be inspeeted by
the Magistrates. It is said at Calais, that this tour of
the Chief Consul has been some time in agitation,
and that 'his route will be from Calais through
Gravelines, Dunkirk, Ostend, on to Brussels.

To the request made on Wednesday to the Bank
Directors by the Loan Holders, respelling the de-
ferring the redemption of Omnium till the month of
June next, an answer was yesterday given, that
owing to the absence of the Chairman, no Court
could be held, but that a decision upon the request
would be given next week.
Mr. PITT, we understand, is going to Bath for a
short time. He is expected in town on Sunday next
on his way thither.

The Speaker of the House of Commons resides,
during the absence of the Members of Parliament,
at his Seat at East Grinstead.

The improvements upon the Hopse of Commons
are going forward with much expedition.. The door
outside of the lobby, by which the SPEAKER for-
merly entered, has now become the door of, Mr.
BELLAMY'S house, and also the passage to the
Strangers' gallery. An elegant wainscot staircase
behind. the room belonging to the Chief Justice of
the Court of King's Bench, leads up to the Messen-
gers' lobby, , which is very much enlarged and int,
proved. From this lobby an ascent of six steps behind
the old smoking-room, leads to the new Committee_
rooms, and from thence by a passage to the Committee
Clerks' Office, the great lobby below is attained.
The old smoking-room has been much improved by
a window which has been struck out of the South-
ern wall. The great lobby has. also been rendered
more pleasant by raising the room appropriated to
the accommodation of the Serjeant at Arms.—
This operation has afforded space: for 'a win-
dow, which Wi4S very much wanted. There are
four new Committee-rooms. They consist of the
dining-room, dra wing-room, kitchen, and another
apartment belonging to the Deputy Serjeant at Arms,
The largest of these is to be fitted up with benches,
similar to the House itself, for the convenience of
the pommittees to be appointed to try the Contro.
verted Elections, &c. &c. The SPEAKER Will in
.future enter within the lobby, by the passage lead-
ing from the Gothic gallery it his own house. The
back stairs behind the Court of King's Bench, are
taken away, and upon their site a lobby is forming,
for the reception of servants and others who may
have occasion to wait. The great lobby is to be
kept entirely clear for the greater accommodation of
the Members.

An intended reduftion of the Serjeanrs of the
Guards is suspended for the present.
A Letter from Winchester, dated the z9th inst.
says—" The Earl of BANBURY, who commands
the Third Regiment of Life Guards, and the Com-
manding Officer of the 4th, in garrison here, this
morning received Official Papers from the War.
Office, stating, that the ReduCtion of the Army is
countermanded."

It must be acceptable Intelligence to all interest-
ed in the Cause of Public Morals, to learn that the
Society for the Suppression of Vice, is rapidly in-
creasing in numbers; and that many of the elevated
and distinguished Charaders which the Nation has to
boast of, are already among the List of its Members.
Important good consequences are to be expetled,
in the present depraved State of Public Manners,
from the judicious Exertions of such a Society.
The Garrison of Vienna, is, it is said, to be in-
creased to 55,000 men.
