EXPEDITIONS.

We Rated laR 'veck, that Government had given
notice to the Tranfport Board, to provide tranfports
for a number of troops, to be employed on an expe-
dition which was immediately to be got ready.—On
Saturday feveral tranfports were engaged by the
Board, which has effected a confiderable reduCtic,n
in the ufual charge for tranfports.—Coppered veffcls
are allowed 195. per ton; wooden•fheathed valets i 75.;
and tingle bottom 15s. only.—h is underflood in the
City, that tranfports are wanted for 25,000 men.

We have great fatisfallion in being enabled to (late,
that a ferious mifunderitanding between our Court
and that of St. Peterfburgh, occalioned b r the late
Wale. relative to commercial regulations,, has been
amicably adjufted. The regulations which feemed,
in the firft inftance, direded againft the Britifh trade,
were, in fad, adopted for the benefit of Ruffian fub-
jefts only ; an explanation has fince taken place be-
tween the two governments, and certainemodifications
are to be introduced, which will completely fet the
difpute at reQ.
Government has determined to give to Ruffin every
poffible fupport, and 60,000 (land of arms will be fent
off with the utmoft difpatch. They were on Sat'trday
inflated, and will be conveyed in two floops of war.
They are to be followed by a proportionate quantity
of ball cartridges. Upwards of go,ooo (lands, which
had been previoufly fent with ball cartridges, had
reached Memel, and are, at this moment, very likely
employed with fuccefs againft the common enemy.
It is reported that Major General MURRAY goes
out to command at the Cape of Good Hope. General
MURRAY'z long fervice at the Cape and in India,
together with his great knowledge of our Ealtern
Empire, point him out as particularly qualified for
this important command.
The bufinefs of the Barrack Department, the ar-
rangement for the permanent conduit of which has
not yet been finally approved by the new Minifters,
is at prefent under the fuperintendance of the fenior
officet Lieutenant-Colonel MACKENZIE.

On Friday the new Members of the Board of Trade,
conliiiing of Earl BATHURST, Mr. Roes, the Duke
of Mowraoss, Sir JOSEPH BANKS, and Mr. LONG,
met for the firft time fence their appointments, at the
Office in the Treafury, and proceeded to bufiners.
WILLIAM Banwirt.ow, Efq. is returned to ferve in
Parliament for the County of Armagh, in the room
of Lord Vifcount ACHESON, now Earl of Gosfurd.
We underftand that a very numerous party of
Lord HENRY PETTY'S ftiends will have a grand
Dinner, on Saturday the tklitt inliant, at the Free
Mafon's Tavern, in order to celebrate the anniverfary
of his Lordfhip's eledtion for the Univerfity of Cam-
bridge.
On Saturday night we received letters from Cadiz
of the 6th ult. which Rate that there were then in that
port liz (hips of the line getting ready for fea.
The following is an account of the Dutch naval
force in the Teel :—ln Mars Diep, t Blip of the
line, t frigate, 2 corvettes, and t fore (hip, with
fails bent, all ready for fea.—ln New Diep, z (hips
of the line, with fails bent ; one with an Admiral's
flag at the fore-top ; and 4 {hips of the line with top
malts (truck.

By letters from Kirkwall we learn, that the Dutch
frigate which was wrecked on the ifland of Sanda is
not an entire wreck, and that fhe may Ilia be of
confiderable ufe to Government. Her guns' and
(mall arms will be all laved ; twelve of the former
are all brafs. She was quite new, being her flu ft
voyage, and the fink fitted out by Louts of Hol-
land ; bound for Curacoa with (totes and a reinforce-
ment of men.

At the aflizes of Sligo tome trials of Threfhers,
ended in capital conviaion. Mullen was found
guilty the firft day of the aflizes ; on the fecond, two
others for robbery and houfebreaking ; on tae fol-
lowing day a perfon of the name of Late. and five
others were alto conviaed of the fame offence, and
fentenced to fufftr death.

At Rofcommnn affizes two men, for robbery, were
capitally convi&ed.
On Eager Monday, the Union Youths of Gravel.
end repaired to the fleeple and completed another
mufical and intricate peal of Oxford Treble Bob,
containing 8160 changes, in five hours and (even
minutes, being the greateft performance ever yet done
by them or any other let of men at Gravefend, to
the great furprife and fatisfaaion of all the hearers
and amateurs of the great Campanalogic Science.
HYDR PARK.—This charming place was, yeller-
day, the refort of all the elegance and fafhion of Lon-
don. The number of carriages was fo great, as to
form a triple row, from Kenfington Gardens to Hyde
Park gate. The %warmth of the Sun was overbalanced
by the keen North wind, In that the ladies in the
carriages were nearly concealed from our view, by
the giraffes being up ; however, we could perceive the
appearance of fpring, in violet, azure hlne.and French
grey farfnet peliffes and hats. The only change in
the drcfs of the fair pedeftrians, was a few white
mantles, trimmed with fwanfdown, and •ery fine
Leghorn hats.
Amongft the Company in the Ride were—
Her Royal Highnefs the Princefs Charlotte of Wales, his Royal
Highnefs the Duke of Cambridge, the Duchefs of St.. Albans, the
Earls of Cholmondeley, Camden and Eufton.
Amongft the elegant carriages were thole of
The Duke of Devonfhire, drawn by four hays—the Ducheffes
of Roxburgh, Northumberland and Chandos—the Marcbinneffes
of Headfort, Lanfdown, Downthire, and Bath—the Counteffes of
Derby, Camden, :letton, Hardwicke, and Caffili,—the Ladies'
Perth, Talton, M. &admit, Dacre, and Campbell.—Sir John
Lade, Sir Francis Baring, Hon. Mr. Buxton, and Mr. Chas. Pool,
drove four in hand, with their ufual dcztcri!y.
