It is _with extrome p.iticertt we hive to ?nnottnce
to the publicthe death Of this gallant and illustrious
tOmmander, whO. died last night at half pait six
o'clocly, at his residence in Ldwer Brook-street. His
Lordship, as we formerly Stated, was taken itl on
Thursday last, when the Trial of General Vhitelocke
was postponed till Monday (this day) in conseittence
of his indisposition. . .
After hiving eminently distinguished himself
in
his Country's cause on the Continent, in Ireland,
and, lastly, in the Bast-Indies, where he added greatly
to the glory and honour of the British name, GAS
LAVa was created a Viscount, and raised to the
Peerage of this Realm on the Slst of October, 1807,
as a reward to which his :bait justly entitled him.
He was Governor of Plymouth, a General in the
army, and Colonel Of the 80th Regiment ; Gen.-
tleman-Attendant of the Prince of WALU, and
one of his Royal Highness's Council of State
for Cornwall. He eras much attached to and
Much esteemed by that illustrious Personage. He
is succeeded in his titles and estates by his eldest son,
(now Viscount LAKE) who was present at the dissb-
lution of his father. His Lordship was, we believe,
about sixty years of age, but his constitution was much
impaired by the climate of India.

This morning the Court met at the usdal hour, and
after some conversation among the Members, which,
as far as we could learn, related to the death of Lord
Lutz—the business was opened by General Gowea

then read over, and his examination by the Court
began and continued at twelve o'clock.

The Expedition at Falmouth under Generals
SPENCER and WFARLANE has been joined during the
last week bf twenty-three transports, with 2000 troops,
from Portsmouth; and on Friday morning, the wind
getting round to the Eastward, the ANTELOPE, 50
guns, made the signal to unmoor. It soon get round
again, however, to the Westward of -South, which
prevented their getting out, and they still remain.
This force consists of 9,000 men.
Nearly 100 sail of transports are collected at Ports-
mouth, ready to receive troops and military stores on
board, at the shortest notice.
Within these few past days, report has varied in
the higher military circles as to the Commander in
the grand expedition now preparing : While some
mention Sir JOHN Mooae, others say, that at the par-
ticular request of a Great Personage, Lord CATH-
CART will be the Commander in Chief of it. Which
ever of these tried and gallant Officers gets the com-
mand, the Public may look forward to the result with
considerable confidence.
The Brevet is still talked of.

On Lord HAWKEIBURT'S o.SSertioll, that France I
bad proposed to Portugal to make common cause
with Europe against England, the Note is—" This
is *Bove all absurd, and perfectly false."
The writers of these Notes thank Mr. CARNIWG for
having justified the Court of the Thuilleries : they'
say, that our subsidies to Austria are now in the
Bank at Paris, as our subsidies to Sweden will
soonbe in the Bank of St. Petersburgh. They hold
up to ridicule the debates of our Parliament, and ex-
claim—" Shades of Fox and Par, where are you !"
The illsoirtur speaks of the magnificent reception
of their Minister at St. Petersburgh as the proper re-
m for the distinction shewn to Mons. DE TotstoT

Prussia is mentioned with a sort of pity the most
contemptuous ; but the Moniteur says, that the Right
Bank of the Vistula is totally evacuated by the
French. There have been pamphlets and libels pub•
lished against the Prussian Nobility, as if to prepare
the minds of the people for their degradation.
The Danes are spoken of in the highest terms of
applause ; and it seems resolved that Sweden shall be

extinguished.

A Sunday Paper states the following intelligence:
46 A Treaty of Offensive and Defensive Alliance
has been concluded with Sweden, by whit* this
country has agreed to furnish his Swedish Majesty
with a subsidy, as well as certain naval and military
succours.
4, By this Treaty, the Island of Martrand, near
Gottenburgh, is surrendered to the English, as a de-
pot for the naval and military force to be employed
in the Baltic ; it possesses an excellent harbour, and,
from its strengths Is termed the Gibraltar of Sweden.
4 will be further important, as commanding the en-
trance of the Cauegat.
44 The ate:stance which his Swedish Majesty has
stated to be necessary to enable him to contend with
the powerful combination which has been formed
against him, consists, Ist, of sixteen sail of the line :
22, twenty thousand British troops, with which a
Corps of fifteen thousand select Swedish troops are to
act: Scl, a subsidy r f 100,0001. per month during the
continuance of the war."

to state what degree of credit is due to the above.
