It gives us great fatisfraion to be able to announce
thatch; fatten vvs frigate, with the fleet under convoy
from the Coati of Portugal, are arrived in Mount's
Bay and alfu the Africaine, from the South Seas,
one of the CaLcupra's convoy, for the fafery of which
Co many fears have been entertained for thefe two
day; Pa.

Yefterday morning a very heavy cannonading wai
heard at Deal, in the direetion of Boulogne; but the
caufe of it is not yet known.

It is reported that Government has received a de-
claration from the King of Paussra, iq anfwer to the
Note prefented to him by the two Imperial Courts,
that it was his determination to.maintarn a aria neu-
trality in the Circle of Lower Saxony, and that for
the purpofe of fecuring that part of Germany again fl
encroachment by the armies of either of the belligerent
powers, he had put his own army, to the amount of
300,000, on a footing of complete preparation.
Should the arming of Prufaa be only intended to
enable that poiwer to maintain its neutrality, we be-
lieve the Allies.will have no inclination to difturb it.

The fuddenners, however, with which FRIDWRIcK
Wittiara put his army on the war eftabliihment ex-
cited'a conyeiable alarm among the Confederates ;
and it is a known faa that it had the effea to elevate
the fpirits of the enemy in the fame proportion. The
French funds rofe 4 per cent. on the news reaching
Paris. It is true the French funds are not fo accu-
rate a barometer of opinion as the Englith ; but a
rife of 4 per cent. tends evidently to thew either that
the trench ultimately Promife themfelves the fop.
port of Promo, or that they believe 'it may (Lill lead
to a negotiation.

L night Count CORPELAN. the Swedith Envoy,
Chat z^xl with a (pedal million to our Conn, left town

on his return, having accomplillted, as we hear, the
objeet of his journey. A treaty has been concluded
between the two Courts of a provifional nature, by
which, in a certain ftipulated event, Sweden under-
takes to fornith a certain number of flips and men
towards the common caufe.

Laft night, Mr. Hatcaava, the Meffenger, left
town for Yarmouth, on his way to St. Peterfburgb.
with difpatches from the Secretary of State's Office.
for Lord Gaavvitta Lsvisom Gower, our Ambaf-
factor at that Court. The dispatches are of fo urgent
a nature, that in the event of no packet being ready
at Yarmouth to convey Mr. HAILGRAVII to Gotten-
burgh, one.of his Majefty's cutters or gun.brigs is
to proceed with him immediately.
Private advices from the Continent Rate, that tl.e
fon of the EleCtor of Bavaria is detained an Nonage
in France, in confequence of the treaty lately figned
between his Elettoral Highnefs and the Emperor of
Germany—a circumilance which fufficiently accounts
for the apparent indecifion of the former, with refpeit
to his military conduct at the prefent important junc-
ture. The firft divifion of the French army pared
the Rhine on the a4th ult. at Mentz, and were ex-
peCted at Offenbach on the following day. As the
Auftrians were rapidly advancing to meet them, we
are in daily expettation of receiving advice of an
important aetion having taken place.

Their Maim-its and the PrinceffelAuousra,ELT.
ZABITH and Maar, arrived fafe KR evening, foon
after feven o'clock, at Kew Palace, from Weymouth,
efcorted by a party of the lath Regiment of Light
Dragoons. Princefres SoPHIA and Am cis Rcpt at
Andover, and ate expelled this day at Kew. Their
MAT a rri e s are expefted to honour one of the Theatres
with a vifit on Wednefday evening.
yefterdsy morning, aq his Royal Highnefs the Duke
of Sussex was going up Saville.row, his hot fe flipped,
and he was thrown off. We are happy to Rate his
Royo Highnefs did not receive 'any injury.

the bow and the other in the Bern. They are very

Lieutenant Focsy, of the HADDICIC, arrived yef-
terday morning at the Admiralty, with difpatches
from Rear-Admiral COCHIL AN 11, at Barbadoes.

A few days fince the route arrived at Winchefter
for the march of the ad battalion, 99th Regiment,
for Portfmouth, for garrifon duty. The day before
their march, their colours, which had been previonfly
Cent down from London, were prefented to them by
Lieut. Col. Mainwitatac, accompanied with a (port
neat fpeech, well fuited to the occafinc, and which
was delivered in a very impreffive manner.
We have good reafon to believe that the propriety
of granting an increafe of pay to the Officers, both
of the Army and Navy, will be taken into confidera-
don at an early period in the approaching Seffion of
Parliament. We fincerely hope this will be the cafe.
The great increafe in the price of every neceffai of
life fince the prefent rates of pay were etlablithed,
calls loudly for an increafe to the income of fo ler.
viceable a dais of men.
