IItEDITZRRAIVtAN FLELT.

The 'RESISTANCE frigate, Captain PELLtW, is arri-
ved at. Plymouth, from the Mediterranean. Several
officers carte in her as passengers from the Adriatic.
They left the MILFORD, Admiral VREENIANTLg, at
lirreste, on the Ist of November.—The follsowii44 is a
letter from an officer lately belonging to the Milford:
" His Majesty's Ship Resiitande., Plymoutri, Janttorie.
u Before we left our station in the Adriatic,. the
Havannah and \Veazle had been sent to Zara, to
assist the Austrians in expelling the French .from
.ihat strong hold. An. expedition had been Fitted out
by Admiral Fremantle and General Nugent, at
Trieste, against Ragusa. The forte would be aided
by Colonel Robertson, and 500 troops front Lissa.
Captain.C. Rowley, of the Eagle, was to command
the naval part of the force. Accounts from Venic
feport, that a general insurrection was expected there
against the French party, whose force was about
four thousand men. The exertions of the seamen
and marines of our
.squadron, to assist the Aus,
trians, had been unprecedently great, and the cordi-
ality of the two nations is beyond all former example.
The male inhabitants of Istria, Ctoati.ti and Dalma-
tia, were joining the Austrian standard.by thoosands,
and demanding arms 1 a vast number of which had
been sent from Zante, by General Campbell. Upon
the fall of Ragusa and the Boeca di Cattard, which
was momentarily expected, Admiral haemantle
would return to England in the Eagle. Trade may.
be soon expected to take its wonted course at Trieste,'
which the presence of the French had greatly impo.
verished. The carriages of the merchants alone,.
which used to amount to ninety, were recrucesl to. five.'
‘, The island of Lissa, from the Continent being
opened, will become comparatively depopulated.—
Coffee, at Trieste, is half a dollar per lb. Colonial
produce and English goods are In great demand ther
being *tinted for Germany, Hungary, and Bohemia.
Several merchants had already arrived at Trieste,
from Vienna, to purchase English goods, &c. The
.Archduke Maximilian, With his brother Francis (bro.'
thers of the Empress of Austria), had arrived at
Fiume, from Sardinia.,-in the Eagle, with the Arch-
duchess, daughter of the King of Sardinia, on their
way to Vienna. The Archduke Maximilian *as se:
veral days on board the Milford, at Fiume.
ig Sir E. Pelle* returned to Port Mahon, fruits off
Totilon, on the 15th of November, at which port the
Rivoli, 80, had previously arrived from Spithead.—
The Revenge, Ocean, Berwick, Armada,,and Swift.
sure, were left off Cape Sace, as a squadron of obser-
vation. The following ships were at Mahon when the
Resistance sailed:—
"
Caledonia Hibernia, San Josef, Boyne Prince of Wales,
Union, Barttes;r, Royal George, Ponspee, Boyne,
Mwlgrave,
Bombay, Alcmene, Pylades, Badger, Guaialvupe, Slseervraier,
and Carlotta."

Sir EDWARD PELLEW returned to POtt,Maoontr
-from off Toulon, on the 15th November, at which
port the R:voli, 80, Captain HAMMOND, had previ-
ously arrived from Spithead., The Revenge, Sir
JOkIN GORE, Ocean, Berwick, Armada, and Swift-
sure, were left off Cape Sace, as a squadron of ob-
seivation. The Swiftsure had Made an attack,
k with her boats, on a French privateer schooner, near
Goilica, in lvhish Licutenant HARVEY, a Midship-
man, aqd sine seamen, were killed • and several
wounded. The schooner mounted eight guns, with
Edmen, 19 of whom were killed and wounded. She
fired all her guns and small arms into the boats, as
soon as they got alongside, and then surrendered.—
Lieutenant Hattvev was buried at Mahon with mili-
tary honours. The following ships were at Mahon
when the Resistance sailed :—Caledonia, Hibernia,
San Josef, Boyne, Prince of Wales, Union, Bailleur,.
Royal George, Pompee, Scipion, Bombay, Mul-
grave, Alcmene, Pylades, Badger, Guadaloupe,
Sheerwater, Carlotta. The Pembroke) 'l4, Captain
C. Thema*, had sailed to relieve the Bombay, on
the coast of Catalonia; and the Rivoli, for Sr. Sebas-
'oan's. The. Resistance spoke the Iphigenia and Cos-
sack, cruising off Cape de Gat. The Crocus sailed
tram Malta for Lista, on the 20th November, with
two transports, to join the Adriatic squadron ; and
the Pauline, for Smyrna.

Tuesday se'nnight, John flood, Parser's Steward of
bis Majesty's ship-Poictiers,'was tried by a Court-Mar-
tial, a: Portsmouth, for desertion, and for taking with
him money and shawls, the property of the seamen of ,
that ship, which had been entrusted to him for the
sake of safety.—lt appeared, that immediately on his
landing he sold the doubloons, to the amount of £9l
and went off on the same evening (the 2Sth ult.) for
London. Being missed the following morning, Lieu-
. tenant ANDERSON/ the senior Officer, wrote to the Ad-
miralty, who immediately informed the officers of
Bow-street of the circumstance, with orders to appre-
hend him. Pearkes accordingly found him, after a
qumber of inquiries; at the Boulogne 'Mouth Inn,
London, where had he booked himself in the name of
Johnstone, for Newcastle. The*officer immediately
secUred him! and found on Si: person £lO3 in.notoi
doubloonf, some shawls, and other property
,alt of whit)) he afterwards delivered to the Command::
big loif the Poictiers. The Court sentenced'
the prisoner to receive 500 lashes, in any pert tliti

The mildness of the weather, during the greatest
part 'of last month, is almost unprecedented. Bees
were abroad on the 17th and 18ta, flying about the
hive as busily as they commonly are in spring% in an
elevated and exposed situation near Xentlal. The
rooks.at Watt's Yield, Dumfries-shire, were fighting
about their nests, in the manner they usually do at
the time of pairing, previous to their . beginning to
build. On the 24th, great numbers of trouts were
rising at the fly, and some -were caught with the
minnow. The thrush was heard singing on the 21st,
and the blackbird on the 22d, a very uncommon cir-
cumstance. The common daisy adorned the fields
with a profusion not always equalled in the month of„
March. The groundsel, the chicken-weed, and the
inodorus corn marigold, were also in flower ;—and
' the primrose was full blown in some gardens. Scarce
a speck of snow was to be seen on the mountain tops;
but, on the 28th, the frost set in, and, on the morning
of the 29th, the barometer was at 24.

EXTRACT Ok' A LETTER FROM SCHAFFHAUSEN, DATED
DkrEMRER 21.
44 Yesterday the Austrian troops broke the lide
ef neutrality by advancing to this town. • There
were here at the time about seven hundred of the St.',
Gall militia, who. on the advance of the Austrians,
retired across the Rhine, mid baricadoed the bridge,.
and double gates, which are placed at each ehti ofit.
They then hilted on the other side drawn up ika
line, as if determined to defend the passage. ' This
morning, Prince Lichtenstein, with a large.body of
cuirassiers and other cavalry, Ana Sonleigrenadiers,
entered the town ; and, after a little delays. a party
were ordered to force the bridge, and we had the
'satisfaction of crossing the Rhine at the head of the
troops, the Saiss troops marching off very quietly
without firing a shot.
46 As I fancy these must be abort the first troops.
who have crossed the Rhine, we felt this a very inte.
resting sight. The people all came out of their+
houses to help in removing the baricadoes, and in
face seemed very willing to.anist in any thing. I
have had a good deal of talk with two or three intel-
ligent people of the town, and I think from what I
make out, that, at least in this neighbourhood, they
are all fbr the Allies ;they in fact told me that all
they wished for was,' to be forced into declaring for
the- goosiminseA . • •
46 Switzerland is ag open now as ever it was to an
gaglishman. No-pauports are required, and in short
people welcome us wherever we corns.',
