THE EXPEDITTOK

It does not appear that Government have received
any Official Accounts of the progrefs of the Ex-
pedition fence the ill, when Admiral GAMBIER was
fleeting with a fair wind for the Great Belt. It ii
unnsceffary, perhaps, to all, that the Great Belt is
one of thole paffages into the Baltic by which the
Dinifh Cables are avoided. The Belt, however, is
full of danger from another caufe :—the water is
(hallow, and fo thick fet with rocks, that no (hip o'er
ventures to pats, unlefs under the guidance of a Dana
Pilot, and in very favourable weather. It is, there-
fore, one difappointmerit, that our Expedition has not
been able to procure any of theft guides (tom the
Swedifb Ports.
The following letter brings the accounts of Ad-
miral GAMBIER'S fleet, down to the 3d, being a day
later than the official accounts of Government.
BRIDLINGTON, AUGUST 12.

Arrived the Traveller, MALLARD; and the Jane,
BaowN, from Memel. They fell in with the fleet of
men of war, &c. on the 23 infant, fix leagues this fide
the Schaw : they silo report that the Danes were
entirely ignorant of their failing, and in no condition
to oppofe them.

In part of our impreffion of yellerday, we Rated
that the Eritifh veffels had been fuddenly ordered
away from Tonningen. The convoy from the Hum-
ber, under orders for Tonningen, has alto been coun-
termanded; and yefterday intelligence was received,
that the Commander of the Sparkler gun brig. lying
in the Eyder, had given inflru.flions to the following
veffels, on the 7th infant, to proceed immediately
to Yarmouth :

For London—The Jane, Dundat ; Tucker, Richardfon ; Mer-
curius, Thornton ; and the Providence, Lawton.
For Yarmouth—The Sir Charles Hamilton, Cochrane.
For Dublin---The Salerno, Dudgeon; and Fox, Stewart.
For Hull—The Brothers, Coleman.
For Leith—The Pomona, Dick; and Eliza, Edmunds.
For Liverpool—The Sparks, —; and Rebecca, Dye.
The Fame, Bennet, with feveral other wilds from Tonningen,
are arrived in Irrniourn Roads.

Of thefe, the firft three, for London, and the Sir
Charlet Hamilton, for Yarmouth, have their outward
bound cargoes on beard.
It is enppored that tome very nofitive information,
reepeding the intentions of the French, mutt have
been received by the Conful, to induce him to order
the immediate departure of thefe veffelv. The vici-
nity of the enemy certainly juftifies the precaution,
whatever inconvenience may refult from it to thofe
concerned.

Tellerday a Cabinet Council was held at two
o'clock, which was *cry fully attended. Immediately
after its riling, &rennin Efq. of Howland
ftreei, was difpatched upon a fpecial million to the
Court of St. Peteriburgh ; and we believe he left town
late 101 l night. The objet of Mr. SHAI million
is kept a profound fecret, hut it is whifpered that it is ,
of a pacific complexion. Mr. SHAIRP, if we recoiled'
right, filled a diplomatic &nation, with much honour
, to hinsfelf and advantage to the country, for feveral
years, as Conful General at St. Peterlburgh.
It is alto reported that Mr. location was fent for
the esprefs purport of accepting the mediation of
Rullia, in the name of his Miti ITY. When notice
is received from him refpeding the necelrary arrange.
ments, Lord FIT HARRIS, it is laid, will let off, with
full powers, to forward the negotiation in every pot.
fible and honourable way.

Mr. ELswoaTtt. a King's Mellinger, was alto dif-
patched by the fame Cottncil for the Continent.
That fine regiment the 29.11, lately arrived from
America, and now lying in Deal Barracks, wll im
mediately have a fecund battalion from the militia
regiments on the coati of Ken►, who have all mani-
felled a flrong difpofition to volunteer into the line.

This day advice were received in town from Ad.
mirah Lnrd KEITH and Ynutio.
