Various rumours have been circulated fince Sa-
turday refreaing events on the Continent, hut as
they cell on no authority, they are unworthy of even
a notice

Two Hambn rgh mails are now due, and no French,
Dutch, or other foreign journals, have been received
fince the lan that were mentioned in this paper.
This morning, however, we have been informed,
by letters from Harwich, of the arrival there, yeller-
day morning, of a Dutch fchuyt from Catwyck,
which place the left on Wednefday lab. At the time
the failcd a report was current that an aims had tains
place between the Prat/jeans and French, the refult of which
was not known.

Should thi► entelligence be confirmed, it. is molt
important, as it will ferve to decide the part which
Pruffia has refolved to take in the prefent contell.—
We have not the means of deciding what degree of
credit is due to this rumour, and have therefore Rated
it (imply as it has reached us, but we can pledge
ourfelves cn the veracity of our Correfpondent, that
fuch was the report in Holland on Wedneday lall. It
is in itfelf not impoffible ; but as the Dutch, as well
as other people, are often impofed upon by unfounded
we mutt wait for farther accounts, before
we give it full credit.

Lord HARRINGTON with his fon and two meffcn•
gers arrived at Yarmouth on Saturday morning ;
and yefterday, after receiving a falute from the Va-
NUS ft igate, which awaited them in the harbour, his
Lordlhip and fuite fet fail for Cuxhaven, in that vef•
fel. At twelve o'clock the Vas us was out of fight,
and as the wind blew a stiff breeze from the fouth-
weft, there is reafon to believe that his Lordfbip will
have a quick image.

The Vicroav is repairing at Portfmouth, and
every exertion is making to get her ready for going
round to the Downs with the remains of our glori-
ous NELSON. We believe we are only expreffing the
with that will be echoed by thoufandq, in faying that
no fight could be more gratifying to a Brit& Public,
or more worthy of a &Mr Hero's funeral honours,
than to fez thole gallant men, the crew of the Vic-
roar, accompany their beloved Commander to the
grave. The feelings of attachment which thofe noble
fellows difplayed in refufing to part with the body of
their great Leader, deferves applaufe and commemora-

tion. It is wdl done to cherith loch feelings,it is worthy
of us as the grea,eft of free nations, to rade our brave
defenders above the rank of mechanical fighters—to
fublimate the impulfes of their courage to a noble-
nets of fentimcnt, with which the flavilh hordes of
our enemies are unfutceptible of being infpired.

Yeflerday, about one o'clock, Lord CATHCART fet
off in hii travelling carriage, from his houfe in Glou-
teller-place, for the Continent, to take the command
of the Britifh Army.
Lietnenant-Gencral FRANCIS DUNDAS is to com-
mand the infantry under Lord CATHCART, and Major
Generals MAcatazta FRAZER, Sir Arrnua WEL•
LESLIE', SHERSROKE, and HILL, are to have the
command of brigades. •
The Duke of CAMBRIDGE will probably leave town
for Hanover on Tuefday or Wednefday, to command
and orgarizt the Hanoverian Legion, and the new
levies forming in that Elcaorate. The recruits alrea-
dy amount to ii,oco. The Ruffian, Swediffi, and
Britifh troops, including the Hanoverian Legion, at
prefent in Hanover, amount to nearly 70,000 men.
The recruits railing in Hanover, in Britifh pay,
and to be attached to the King's German Legions,
are fubfißed for the greater part, from the Prnffian
magazines.
The firß Battalion of the 79th regiment, lately from
Cork, debarked at Ramfgate on Friday, and marched
for olpringe and Feverfham, where the fecond batta-
lion has been for Come time. The 3d, Bth, 9th, 3oth,
87th, and 89th regiments continue on board the tranf-
ports which brought them from Ireland, and will
probably fail for the Continent immediately.
The tith Light Dragoons have received orders
immediately to embark for the Continent.
Captain HAWKER'S company of the Royal Artil-
lery, quattered at Haddington, is ordered fur foreign
ferrite.
Friday, a divifion of the 87th regiment of infantry,
marched through Chichelter on their rout to Dattle
Barracks. _ _ _

Tuefday and Wednefday mornings the &ft and
fecund divifions of the 7th regiment marched into
Wincheller barracks for the winter. _ _

The following letter contains the lateft intelligence
received from the expedition under the command of
Sir JAMES CRAIG :
44 Malta, Nov, 3.
t‘ The troops were all embarked on the 111, def.
tined for Naples. and are now lying at angle anchor,
ready to take advantage of the firit (hilt of wind.
The forces compofitig the expedition is Soon men. in-
cluding the Chafteurs Britacnique and Wathville's
regiment. Twelve thoitfand Ruffians are a!ready at
the rendezvous (Syracufe), where Sir JAMES CRAIG
was to join them. Tranfports were fent t 3 convey
them from Corfu, where the fame number were
ready for embarkation, as loon as thefe iliould be
landed. Lieut. Col. BAYNIS, of Sir JAMES'S Staff,
has been at Corfu, and the.Ruillan Officers fpoke of
their troops as the flower of their army. They are
commanded by a General Lac tit, and their fquadron
by 'Admiral Gal, ru."

NEIV MILITARY ORDER.

We hear that it is in the contemplation of Govcta•
ment to &labials a new Order of Merit, fir the e-
ward of Naval and Military Officers, who may dif-
tingun themfelves in the f•rrice of their country.
'We lincerely rejoice in every meafiue which can
add honour or incitement to the heroifm which etrzry
day dcvelopes itfelf; but we Ihould be pained to find
the ellablithment of any new fubaltern flep which
might tend to remove from the claimants thnfc ho-
nours to which the nfage of the fervice has hitherto
entitled them.

The Order of the Bath was inflituted for purpofes
of this kind; and it were perhaps better to extend
the number of its Members than to create an inferior
clafs, which we are fearful will give occafion to
much difcontent.—The appointment of Sub-Lieute-
nants in the Navy was deigned for the relief of Mid
lhipmen, but it has an effcsk diametrically and injuri-
oully oppofite, by creating an intermediate llep, and
confequent delay and difficulty to their promotion.
We Kull the new Order will not be inftituted on a
fimilar principle.

Difpatches were yeflerday received at the Admi-
ralty from Admiral Cooties', in the Weil Indies.
where nothing important has occurred.

Saturday intelligence reached the Admiralty, that
on the 12th ult. an American was boarded off Cape
St. Vincent by a French (hip of the line, in company
with two frigates and two brigs, which are fuppofcd
to have formed part of the Rochefort fqlsadron.

The Boadicea, on the sd and 3d ult. faw eight Ail
of the line off Cape Finifierre, which the fuppofed to
be French; but there is reaftm to believe that they
were the four (hips under Admiral DIJMANOIR, and
the four under Sir R. STRACHAN, which came in
conta& on the 4th.

The Urgent gun brig, which has arrived, brings
intelligence that the fell in with the Danebroog, a
Dana]) Earl Indiamen, the Captain of which (bred,
that when he left the Cape of Good Hope, Admiral
Luton, with the Marengo and Belle Ponle frigate,
were lying in Falfe Bay, and that the day after the
Danebroog failed, the fell in with the Tremendous,
of 74 guns, the Grampus, of 5o guns, and the Ter-
pifchore and Pitt frigates, to whom he gave infor-
mation of the pofition of Admiral Limon.
Should an attack be made upon Lino's in that
fituation, fanguine hopes may be entertained of the
molt fuccefsful refults, as his veffels can have no
proteBion whatever from land batteries, when lying
in Falfe Bay.
In Sir RICHARD STRACHAN'S late engagement with
the French, our feamen being feverely fagged by the
obflinacy of the enemy, (particularly on board the
Hum) began to lofe all patience and temper—they
were teen frequently popping their heads out of the
lower port boles and heard to curie the French hear-
tily, exclaiming, " d—n their French fouls, do they won
■ever
Mr. PITT is going to Bath for the benefit of the

It was reported on Saturday that a body of Pruf
fian troops had entered Duffeldorf, and ftopt dhe
famous gallery of paintings, belonging to the Ele&or
of Bavaria, which was about to be fent off. It is
added, that a fmart fkirmilh took place on this ocea-
fion between a French and a Pruffian detachment, in
which feveral lives were loft. It fcems quite defti-
Lute of truth.
It is Paid that accounts have been received from
Colonel RAMSIIY, who has been fent by Government
to the Auftrian head-quarters, that the firft divifion
of the Hungarian infurreetion army was in motion

furvey of the different works, attended by engineers.
On Saturday a Court Martial was held on board
the GLADIATOR, at Portfmouth, to try Lieutenant
Wootcomas for fraudulent condud, ungentleman-
like condul, and difobedience of orders. The firft

monifbed to be more correet in his condud in future.
