On the 4th inst. his Majesty's ships BEDFORD and
NORGE, with. several troop-ships, having on board
2300 men, anchored in this Bay.. They ate bound
upon a Secret Expedition, but there cannot be a
doubt of their destination. They go from this island.
as we suppose, to Jamaica, where they will be joined
by the troops that have been lately acting in the
Chesapeake, and probably by some from England.—
In confirmation of our conjectures, we hear this
morning, by the Admiral's tender, thatVice•Admiral
Sir ALEXANDER COCHRANE, in the TONNANT, of 84
guns, is now at Basseterre, Guadaloupe. He has
touched there on his way from the coast of America
to Jamaica ; the troops have probably gone direct
for the latter Island. This force, there can be little
doubt, is destined to act in the Floridas and Louisiana
'during the winter. They will probably land at the
mouth of the Mississippi. It will come upon JONA..
TiIAN like a thUnder-dap. • The troops here consist
of detachments of the 4th. 44th, 62d, and 85th—the
whole of the 93d, and the right wing of the 95th,
under the command ofMajor-General !Erma. The
-ttoops enjoy the best health, and are in high spirits.

• A plan has been agreed upon by some of the pri.
MATS of war on board the Vestal, at dais anchorage,
some time last week, to cut out the schooner Engi.
neer, formerly an American letter of marque, and
lately purchased for the use of this army ; but the
plot having been disclosed by one of the party, on
the tattling that it was to have been canied into
effect, the whole was detected, and the ringleader has
been placed in close confinement.

A great number of transports have been discharged
out of the Government service this week; in conse-
quence of nearly all the stores having been brought
home from the Continent, in which service they have
latterly been employed.

On the arrival of a division of the French forces
to take possession of Martinique and Guadaloope, the
men belonging to the Si battalion of the 60th regi-

both sides, which was notified by Proclamation in

•A few days since, as Mr. John Hawkes, of Al-

TILE LATE bititADFar, G4(LES.

The *deices from the coast abound with losses stn.
tuned during the late gales. The John, of
transport, bound to Gibrakar, with provisions, was
wrecked qn Tuesday se'nnight off Dover. She sprung
a leak on the Saturday preceding, and foundered On
Tuesday.. -Seventeen men, including the Captain,
perished, and only three men came alive to shore on
.spars.--In the course of the last week several vessels
have 'put into the port-of Hull for repairs of damages,
got in the late gales. Several others have put into
Yarmouth on a similar account.
. The Montreal, ALEXANDER, for Jamaica, that was
on shore on the Inch Green, near Port Glasgow, was
got olf on Wednesday se'nnight, with little damage.
An unfortunate accident took place on the night pre-
vious. The boats having broke loose from the vessel,
and their use being imp grunt in assisting to get her
off (which was to be tried with that night's tide),
.Wsa BLACK. a fine young man, second mate, adven-
turously stripped himself, jumped into the water, and
endeavoured to reads them, but in the attempt was
drowned, without the crew being able to render burs
the smallest assistance. His body was found next
morning ; one of his legs being considerably drawn
up, and the night intensely cold, it is supposed he
was seized with a cramp.
On Saturday last, the Industry new steam boar,
which had arrived at. Glasgow the preceding night,
sunk at the Breomielaw quay, and the water now runs
over her deck. This accident was so unexpected that
same of the hands who were blow, with difficuky
escaped. Nearly 400 bags et shutnac and l6hogsheads
of sugar are on board, none of which has yet been got
out, and no attempts have yet been made to raise the
vessel, the river being much swollen. . • •
INTERETLNGCAAK.---1:1 the night of Wednesday
se'nnight, a foreign vessel was wrecked on the Sands,
a shdrt distance from the Bathing-houses, at Freiston
Shore. The vessel is a Dutch schuyt, named the
Twee.Gebroders, but was on a voyage from East-
Friesland to London, with a cargo of about thirty
last of oats : having sustained damage in the late
storn.s, and being'desirous cf taking shelter in port,
the Captain (whose name is Thresia) on the afternoon
of the above day, about three o'clock, when off Dun-
stan Light-house, on the coast of Nolfolk, went on
shore in his boat, wish two men, the whole of his
crew, in search of a pilot, leaving the schuyt in charge
of two seamen, passengers, and leaving his wife also
on board with them. He Loan met with a pilot
named Fox, and engaged him, but could not get
him then to venture on board, notwithstanding the
offer of liberal terms, and of paying two other men
to assist in managing • the boat. The Captain and
his men then determined to go back to the vessel
without the pilot, but, through the darkness of the
night, could not find their {coat, and were obliged to
return to the town, where they remained till morning.
Early on Thursday morning, however, they set off
with the pilot, but to their surprise and dismay could
see nothing of the schuyt. The Captain and men
then walked to Lynn, and there accidentally met
with some fishermen belonging to Freiston, from
whom they heard of the fate of their vessel, when
they immediately left Lynn, and made the best of
their way a) Freiston Shore : there the Captain learnt
,chat his wife had Ir.:en found dead in the cabin, with
scarcely any thing but her night-clothes on ;—.4- is
aapposed that she had been suffocated by water which
had washed into the vessel, but of that thereas ILO
certainty. There is reason to believe, as there was
no other boat with the schuyt, that the two passen-
gers left in care of it must have been washed off the
deck, and drowned. They were seamen who had
served on board English men of war, and were going
from Oldenburgii to Loudon to receive their prize-
money. The Captain stated, that his wife wore rings
in her ears and on her fingers; but, from these and
other things of value being missing, it is believed
that some person or persons must have pluudered
the body and wreck. The deceased, whose name
WAS Maria Thresia, was a fine young woman, about
27 years of age,
,and had,been married. only eight
months. An Inquest was held on Ler body on Zia-
turdAy se'anight, at the Anchor Inn, at Frciston
Shore, when no mark of violence being found.on it, .
and it not being ascertained how she came by.her
death, the Jury brought in their verdict that the said
Maria Thresia was found dead on board of the said
schuyt, but how or by what means she came by her
death did not to them appear.

. .
The mill belonging to Mr. PA [MN, situate at Ten-
terden, has of late been several times robbed of quan-
tities of flour, &c. On Friday last, Parton and his
grinder were determined to lay wait for the mis-
creants, and secreted themselves in the millfor that
purpose, armed. About twelve o'clock three men
entered the mill, it is supposed by false keys, and
were in the act of filling their sacks with flour from
the trough, when they espied Parton and his man,
whom they attacked, and a desperate conflict ensueu.
Parton attempted to fire his pistol at one of the rob-
bers, but unfortunately it missed ; the robber then
knocked Parton down, and attempted, 'with a, ln.
strument, to put out his eyes; the grinder seeing his
master in that perilous situation, gave the robber
a severe cut across the legs with his sabre; another
came up, knocked the grinder down, and "attempted
to take the sabre from him, but in the act he cut off
two of the robber's fingers. The grinder getting up,
found his master in the same situation, with the rob-
her upon Itim, whom he immediately &id at—the
contents of the pistol lodged in his body ; the other
two then made their escape. The, robher who was
shot, and whose name was Hart, they conveyed to
Tenterden Town, for surgical assistanee,-41urhe died
in about eight hours; before he expirl. discl.)sed
the names of his accomplices, Brignai inaWge, with
others, amounting to eight in' ninba, aid we' trust
and hope, from the great exertions' mw making, they
will, ere long, be brought tdfcthilign. punishment.
