The destination of Rear Admiral GARDNER'S squa-
dron is the coast of Holland. The Flushing squa-
dron, consisting of nine sail of the line, is said to be
ready for sea. Should it venture out, we may hope
shortly to have the happiness of recording another
brilliant triumph of the naval arms of Britain.
Letters were yesterday received from some ports in
the South-west coast of France, which are dated so
far back as the close of last month and the beginning
of this, and which state, that " French troops were
incessantly marching towards Spain."
According to the statement of a Cagy& who has
just arrived from a Prussian port, the greater part of
the French have lately marched from Berlin, under
General MORTIER. -The understood destination of
this body was the Rhine.
The gallant Field-Marshal KLINGSPOR has retired
from the command of the Swedish army in Finland,
at the head of which he has so much distinguished
himself since the irruption of the Russians, by his cou-
rage, judgment, and activity.
Captain DALRYMPLE, who left town on Saturday
night with dispatches for Sir HEW DALRYMPLE,
sailed from Plymouth on Tuesday evening, in a fast-
sailing vessel.
There is no doubt but the articles of the Convention
concluded in Portugal between General JUNOT and
the Commanders of the British army, arrived in this
country on the sth instant, and were shewn to the
Members of Government on the same day.

The Gazette of Saturday last states, that an inves-
tigation is about to take place, to inquire into the
causes which have prevented the distribution of prizes
captured so long ago as in the year 1747, by the/King
George, Prince Frederick, Duke, and Princess Albe-
rta privateers, fitted out from Bristol in the precetding
year. The net proceeds of one prize, the Nympha,
captured on the 9th February, 1747, amounting to
105,6001. and others, the names of which are not spe-
cified, to the amount of 67,8481. are admitted by the
original owners and managers of the sad privateers to
have been received by them. This delay is of so ex-
traordinary a nature, that. if it has been voluntary, i. is
to be hoped that the parties wjao !lave occasioned it
I will be properly punished.

DUBLIN, SEPTEMBER 17.

We understand the two following Resolutions have

sembled at present in Dublin—

" That the Roman Catholic Prelates pledge themselves to ail.
here to the rule by which they 'have been. hitherbs uniformly
guided, namely, to recommend to his Holiness only such permit
as are of unimpeachable loyalty and peaceable conduct"

On Tuesday and Wednesday, the 53d Regiment
marched from Limerick garrison for Fermoy ; they
are replaced by the 2d battalion of the 28th, from
Tullarnore.

Captain BLENNERHASSET, Glyn Cavalry, and Cap.

in consequence of the disturbed state of that vicintiy,

THE CONVENTION.

" Pew[ DOOM tape Ilemitsafistais !"--Tzatwee.

Oh words of disgrace ! oh shocking record!
' • Poor Brissossia must blush at the mention—
That the fame which kr Selikr, obtain'd by the Sword
Should be lest by a General CONVENTION !

uANNISAL.

Yesterday arrived in the Downs several sail of
Transports from Harwich, having on board the 76th,
59th, 43d, and part of the 95th Regiments, for foreign
service.

One of the most successful regiments in recruiting
from the Irish Militia, is the 88th, (or Connaught
Rangers) ; both Ist and 2d battalions of it are now
nearly complete, and with as fine a set of lads as any
in the nation. Th's is a favourite corps, being Gene-
ral BERESFORD'S new regiment. We are glad to learn,
that the Connaught Rangers, as well as the 87th,
(Sir JOHN DOYLE'S Irish Heroes) are fast recovering
from the Ophthalmia. . .

Aking with Sir DAVID BAIRD there proceed two
of the mos; disti*guised regiments in the service,
the 26th (or Cameronians), and the 27th (or Inni-
skillings). • •

The ' 73d Highlanders, commanded by Colonel
M,Qunaatz, are fast recruiting-their numbers anTwill
be soon ready for service, though. they have returned,
from India but a few months, where they were sta.
tioned 20 years. Therare now quartered at Perth.

The 68th, or Durham Regiment, which norrnany
months ago returned a complete skeleton from the
West Indies, is likewise fast filling up its numbers,aa
is the 77th Regiment, commanded by Colonel WHITE&
LOCKE.

Captain COLUMBINE is appointed to the SOLPISAY,
at Portsn ou h, V. BROWN ; and Captain C ILL t ) the
ONYX, at L-tratham. Captain RoGERS (of Plymouth),
is appointed Agent for Prisoners of War at Plymouthi
Captain CoLoßtvE, Agent at the Royal Fawn,
Dartmoor.

Captain GARNIER, of the French privateer Fou-
droyant, sent in to Portsmotuh by the Linnet, says these
are few French privateers now in the Channel, an
astonishing number having sailed, from all the ports
in France, with provisions for the supply of Gueda•
loupe.
About one fifth of the Norwich Volunteers have
transferred their service to the Local Militia; the re-
mainder continue as Corps of Voluneers.
The Truro Infantry have received a circular letter
from Government, informing them that their uncon-
ditional offer to become Local Militia has been ac-
cepted, and that their services as Volunteers will cease
on the 24th instant.

It is now clearly understood, that neither General
MOORE nor General Hon had any hand in the ho-
nourable armistice and convention : the army would
have been astonished if they had.

Yesterday morning the parties desirous of bidding
for the First Lottery for the year 1808, waited upon
the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, pursuant to no.
tice, to give in their proposals. The Lottery, as be.
fore mentioned, is to consist of 20,000 Tickets, to be
drawn in four equal drawings of 5000 tickets each
day, with an interval of not less than two days between
each day of drawing, and the whole to conclude by
the 31st of December. The biddings were as follow:
Messrs. Cope and Co. - - Xl7 13 11

was spoken with on the 4th instant, by the Perse.
verance, IsBETER, from Hayti, in lat. 45. 55. long.
24. 40 W. out 15 days, all well.
There is no truth in the statement of a duel having
taken place last Friday morning, .on Wimbledon
Common, between Captain C—d and a Mr. P--.-
The Captain died in Malina-place, of a decline.—
He was the son of a Major CAULFIELD, in the
North of Ireland, a relative to the house of CHAR•
LEMONT. His person and manners were elegant
and prepossessing. At a very :early age he went
into the Guards ; and having obtained much cele•
brity as an amateur Tragedian, he exchanged the
sash and gorget for the buskin, and made a
very successful debut, in the part of Hamlet, at Co-
vent-Garden Theatre. The unfortunate Crim. Con.
business is said to have affected his spirits, and to
have produced a lassitude and depression, which
hastened-his dissolution.
A FACT THAT MAY BE DEPENDED ON.—Mr. MILTON,
horse-dealer, Brick-street, Piccadilly, has been parti-
cularly unfortunate, having lost three boys in cutting
their teeth, one was wry bad with a fever and a total
stoppage of his urine for twelve hours, every mommt
red
expecting he would die; when Mrs. Mwros II
the American Soothing Syrup on his gums, th child
began to mend in less than half an hour, disc arged
much water, and his fever abated, and in two day/
had two teeth through.---To be had only of the Pro.
praetor, J. Johnson, 94, Newman-street, Oxfcrci•
road ; and of Mr. Golding, 42, Qoruhill, at 2s. VI
