Several of the arrangements that became necef
fart' in confequence of the death of Mr. Fox, have
at length been fettled. Lord Howtec focceeds Mr.
Fox as Secretary of State for the Foreign Depart-
ment. This we believe is certain. It is confidently
reported that his Lordfhip will be fucceeded in the
Admiralty by Mr. THOMAS GaIIIIVILLt. We have
heard other appointments mentioned, but as we doubt
whether thee have been yet decided upon, we !or.
bear to repeat them. The arrangements will pro-
bably be announced officially after his Majaser
comes to town, which will be to-morrow.

Q Meffenger, Mr. Sums, arrived in town yeller.
day, with difpatches from Lord LAUDERDALE, who,
we are lorry to find, has been ferioufly indifpofed,
having been attacked by a fevere bilious fever. His
Lordtbip was much recovered when the Mefenger
left Paris on Friday lafl.
A Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Office,
in confequence of thefe difpatebes, at which Lord
Geauvasse, Earl SPENCER, Lord Vilcount HOV/ICE,
Lord H. PETTY, Lord SIDMOVTW, and Mr. WIND-
NAM affided ; but of their contents nothing has tranf
pired.
It has been reported, that before Mr. SNIT,. left
Paris, NAPOLEON had let out to take the command
of his army. This report may have arifeu from a
notice which had appeared in the
FRENCH JOURNALS,

before the departure of the Meffenger, of a journey
intended to be taken by BONAPAITII to Bruffels,
and perhaps to Holland doting the prefent autumn ;
but it is certainly pcffible that his journey may have
more of a military than of a civil objea in view.
We have received the Paris Papers to the 19th
Rant, and we find the notice we have alluded to in
the Moreiteur of the 15th, which announces that
"Owing to certain incidents which could not have
been expeeted," a delay has arifen in the return of the
Grand Army from Germany, and confequently the
feta, which were announced for the beginning of Oc-
tober,have been poflponed. Marlhals Na r, Davousr,
and Auasaaau, have received permiffion to repair
to Paris, to fpend a few days there.
" His Majelly has caufed orders to be iffued to his
Houfehold for the journey he intends to make in the
middle of autumn to Bruffels, and perhaps to Hol•
Band. A part of his (hid, and detachments of the
guard, have already fet out, in contemplation of this
journey.

0 It is believed, that his Majely will repair in a
few days to Fountainbleau."
Of the incidents alluded to, the refufal of the Em.
peror of Russia to ratify M. D'Otr 'Ries Treaty, is
doubtlefs one ; but the preparations of PrufGa pro-
bably is another. Although the Moniteur has not yet
noticed the (late of affairsbetween France and Prullia,
the inferior Journals openly fay that the armaments
of the latter can only be dueled againa France.

Letters trate Cyst tad from Dnlden fay, that the
Melton of Here and of flafawy have refufed to tom
into the views of Proffia in her prefect preparations,
as they have nothing to alk or fear from France.
The letters, which are evidently of Parifian manu-
faidure) and, as to the Oration of Hefie and Saxony
►efuGng to aft with Pruffia, talk, throw out levere

magaaioas againft the conduet of Pr uffia. The whole
blame is laid upon General Rucmat., and " /Oaf hi/a-
droit if paw o.4Krert," in the fame way as on, DOL.
00RUCIT and the "thirty Ragas Coseremos," formetly
celebrated in the French Journals.
'lt would catice little furprife to find that N A vni.str
has actually fat nut to put himftlf at the head of the
French army in Germany, if lie is refulved to refill
the demands of Pruffia, being will aware of the im-
portance of being able to Ili ike ti.e fir ft blow, and
knowing that the Ruffians are on their march to
the atfinance of Pruffia, and that the neutrality of
Aultria is not to be relied upon. Not a word is men-
tioned of M. Ka neat-soma's negociation; but theft
appearances, and the ankle above/me ted. alter that
Knitter has been eight or ten days at Part., feem to
indicate that things are nut in a very pacific train.
The beach funds have fallen confiderably. The
Tiers Cenfeaater, for September were 64, on the 13th
and upon the 18th, they were 6a go. M. 'ALMON,.
eras, it is Rated, had not left Paris.

The 'Opt has v long article on the death of Mr.
Fox t but the Menu tur of the s 7th only rays :
4, The difsgreeable news of the death of Mr. Fox
has jufl been received."
Affairs in Italy teem far from being in that nate
which the French Government wither. The papers
of the t sib mention a fanguinary coatis% which ter-
minated in favour of the French, but they cautiouny
avoid giving the details.

THE EXPEDITIONS.

The variety of there, the mode of eqnipment of
fome of them, and the term for which they are va•
rioufly victualled, pots conjeatire at defiance. A
great many flat bottomed boats hive been fent from
the Downs. and molt of the tranfports have now one
or two of them.
The Weft report is, that the reinforcement going
out to Buenos Ayres is to confift of the 17th Light
Dragoons. " the brave Death or Glory regiment,"

88th, or Connaught Rangers, General ARID'S regi-
ment. The Amur, of 64 guns, and the CHAR
WILL floop, to convoy them immediately.
We have kill learned, that an expedition will fhort.
ly be fent out to the Weft Indies.
With 'were plantar, we learn, that rewards and
honours are to be conferred on Sir Hosea POPHAM
■nd Major General Baaesroan.
Captain DonslAy has been promoted from the
NARCISSUS to the ARDINT line of battle fhip.
On Sunday the tranfports with the following regi-
ments, failed from Portfmouth :

goth ditto, 2,1 battalion 7th ditto, whole regiment
'sib ding, sd battalion tint ditto, whole regiment

Part of the gth Dragoons marched through Dover
yeflerday from Deal, on their way to Portfmouth,
where they are to be embarked for foreign ferrite.
Major Generals Sir ARTHUR W and Sir
Giotto, Paa►oar will, it is Paid, get the commands
of feparate expeditions.

Yeflerday being the Anniverfary of his MAUI ITT'S
Coronation, the Park and Tower guns were fired at
one o'clock, the Bells rung a merry peal, and the
Union Jack was difpla yed from re veralChurch (leeples.
Yeflerday the Lord Mayor and Sheriff went in (late
to Chrill Church, Newgate flreet, where an annual
fermon was preached before them, and the Governors
of Chrift's Hofpital. after which they went to the Hall
of the Hofpital, where an Oration was fpoken by the
two eldeft fcbolars of that Hofpital, the one in Latin,
by Mailer SCHMITT ; that in Englifh, by Matter
WILSON; both of which were delivered with great
propriety, to the fativfaeion of the Lord Mayor and
aU the Governors. The fermon is in general preached
by one educated in that Seminary ; the one yefterday,
was by the Rev. Mr. Roast: Zu rot, who took his
text from the 17th verge of the Bth chapter of Pro.
verbs, the word', "he that giveth to the poor, lendeth
to the Loin."

The Veteran, Pions Bo AAAAA TB'S fhip, is hauled
its the inner harbour, at Concarneau, and moored
head and ftern to the (bore, there not being room for
her to (wing : her guns are taken out to make batte•
rie, to prntelt her even there, and her fails unbent, fo
apprchenlive are they of a rifit from tome of our fhips.

COVIST GAIDIN.—The recommence-

Yellerslay morning the Hon. Artillery Come of

L tmbeth Volunteer Regiments, were conveye.'4 wa
the River by eummottote Lucas. iu the k vet r,...
eibles' boats. They formed the miniature of a., inv.&
ing army ; and, on attempting to land near Greenwich
Hofpital, they were of courfe orpofed by the Green-
w:ch, D ptford, ant all the other Volunteers io tt e
neighbourhood. Captain SLAW ar's Corps of River
Fencibles were obrerved to be a molt formidable and
It ady phalanx, frequently repelling the enemy, and
d.fendi.og the (!sore, until all appearance of fuecefs
ad thfappeared trom the ittc:frant heavy fire of the
gun boats. They at length gave way, and a landing
was effeeed. A variety of puncture/I sere then Or-
ientated, and a coattail' fire was kept up on both fides
for about three bouts. The (opposed invading army
padded a great deal oldie Efebalots movement; but,
4s far as c rzumftances wruli permit, Cal. Carp-
s, Lt.'s forces, thofe engaged in the defence of the
and, kept in a dole compae body, either forming

required. The Light Infantry and Rifle Corps we,*

wars made by the pikemen under Capt. S until
about 4 o'clock, when the enemy furrendered. The
Geseawich and neighbouring Corps then withe Lew
to their quarters, whillt the Hon. Artillery and
others belonging to town partook of a plain repaft
a/a mituaire upon the turf. The day was extremely
favourable, and a raft number of fpeeato-s were pr.-
fent ; but we did not hear that a tingle accident took
place. There were a number of Staff Officers pre.
fent in their und,e... full as tl e military fpeßee'e
doled, a pickpocket attempted to fleal a gentl m 'S
watch, near the horfepond between the Princess of
Wales public houfe and the Turkey Merchant,' Col.
lege ; he was (heeded, and received a f ducking.
DuaL me BLACINSATH.—This duel, which took
place on Sunday morning between General Baron
HOSIVESCH. and RICHARDSON, Efq. a gentle-
man refiding near Colchefier, was mentioned in our
paper of yellerday. It appears that it was on Fri-
day, about two o'clock, that the caufe of this unfor-
, tunate affair originated in a rencontre near Temple
Bar. Mr. RICHARDSON had a lady on each arm,
when he was met by the General, who unintention-
ally ran again Ot them, being very near righted; and
as accidentally knocked off the hat of Mr. Recireass•
sou, who inflantly knocked him down. On General
How peach's regaining hie legs, he requested Mr.
Rectiaaascre to retire with him to an adjoining coffee
houfe, which being agreed to, the parties went to
George's Cofee.houfe in the Strand, where they ex-
changed cards. On Saturday Baron HOMPISCH fent
to George's Coffeerhoufe, to enquire concerning the
repeatability of Mr. Rieman:imam, who appeared to
be known there. On being fatisfied on that point,
it is fuppored that General Homy iscH fent a chal-
lenge to Mr. Rtcueansor, with an appdintment to
meet him at fix o'clock the next morning, on Black.
heath.

On Saturday evening Lady BOLINORROEI, filler
to the General, it is underflood, lodged an informa-
tion at the Public Office, Bow Rreet, as did alfo fume
of Mr. RicHaanson's friends. The officers upon this
oecafion, as well as upon every other, were vigilant
and attentive to their duty. Mr. Ibex/awn reached
the ground before fix o'clock, without being inter-
rupted. Baron HOIMPitCH efcaped from town, not-
withaanding great pains were taken to prevent him ;
but he and his friend did not arrive at Blackheath till
a lull hour after the time appointed for the meeting ;
the other parties were then on the point of leaving
the field. The ground being meafured, it watag!ced
to tors up for the lift fire, and that Baron Hose-
PESCH thould be permitted to fight in fpetkacles.—
Mr. Iticnatosum, Kho fired firfl, wounded the Ge-
neral Rightly in the thigh ; the General fired and
miffed. A reconciliation was now propofed by the
feconds ; but, as we have before Hated, could not be
acceded to by Mr. Rictraansos, in confeguence of
a demand from General Hoar cern to be permitted
to lay a cane on his (boulders. The neat cafe of
pifiols was difcharged without effea—and after Mr.
RICHAIDSON had difcliarged his third pinta, Gene-
ral Hum r sc it. would have agreed to an accommo-
dation upon his original terms, but they not being
acceded to, the General filed his Ibird pilot, the
contents of which paired completely through the
body of Mr. RICH•RINION, who Was taken off the
field almoß lifelefs.

Mr. Rictreeoson has finer been conveyed to Lon.
don, and lies at the ParliamentAreet Coffee•honfe.
Mr. RICHARDSON is a very young man, And bag a
wife and three children.
