Admiral Sir Jona Ogees orders are to mite off
the Gut of Gibraltar, till he receive further infirm.
tions. It is reported that the Secret tapedition that
is now getting ready will fail under his command.
The Fire-fhips that are to be attached to the espe.
dition are each to have a Lieutenant and ty men on
board.

Tranfports are ordered for the conveyance of tee

Regiments abroad, two of the number are to go to
Gibraltar to Ilrengthen the forces at that place, fo
much weakened by the late diforder.

We are (sappy in being able to communicate the

following extra Et of a letter from Sir T. Tatcoa to
Captain Goes, of the Wl:ousel it is dated Gibraltat,
Oftober tB, but was not fent on board till the aoth :
40 I certainly think the wort of the &corder is over ;
the deaths, both civil and military, are much de-
created. I was this morning through the hofpital,
and was much fatisfied with the appearance of the
lick. They are evidently getting better. I enclofe a
lilt of the deaths; it is formidable. I have no appre-
henfion for the fafety of the place, a regular attack
would require time and preparation. A coup &await
may be attempted ; I think it will not, or if it thould,
we have Rill fosse men upon their legs :

or the okay - 56—zoo
In addition to the above intelligence, we learn,
that the deaths, from the t ith to the ath, did not
exceed one hundred.

We have received Parts Journals to the A MR.
sod Dutch papers to the 9th, from which we have
given ample extras in the preceding columns. The
capture of the Spanith frigates is noticed in the Mai-
sear. We have given the article.

There is a third note in circulation ?Astons the Di-
plomatic Corps beret the full extent of which has not
tranfpired. It is fubfequent to the foregoing, being
dated on the 18th Auguft, the day on which' M.
d'Ousaii. demanded his palTports. This important
note, it is laid, declares, on the part of his Imperial
Majefty, " that fhould France be guilty of further
provocation againß Ruffs, or her Allies, or threa:eo
by any new outrage the &fell' and independence of
Europe, and thus force Ruffin into a war, his fol.'

which a jug defence venders neceffary, and with as

to the honour and dignity of his Crown."
We are credibly informed that die King of Naples
lately notified to General Sr. CYR, that the year
during which he had engaged to maintain the French
troops in his dominions, having expired, he was no
longer able to provide for their fublifteuce, the charge
of which was rendered Rill more oppre ffive by the
late reinforcements from France. General Sr. Cr a
replied, that his Mainly might do as he thought
proper, but that the troops mull be fed; and that if
the Neapolitan Government decliped to (tuna the
• neceftiry fiipplies, he would immediately occupy
the whole kingdom, and levy contributions by force.
This threat, enforced by use moll infolent menaces of
the French Miniffer, ALoyi ea compelled his Sici-

The Emperor of GERMANY is making extenfive

'Mies of Obfervation : the firll in Gallicia, the fecond

bUBLIN, NOVEMBER S.

Sit—ln my left I informed you that a meeting of
Catholics was held in this city, for the purpofe of
confidering the expediency of bringing their political
flaims before Parliament, and that without any thing
particular having been dune, the meeting adjourned
to the following Saturday. The adjournment was
accordingly held on Saturday lA, at the houfe of
Mr. James Ryan, merchant ; the Earl of FINGAL,
as on the day before, was in the Chair ; the meeting
was more nutnerouay attended, and feveral perfons
fpoie, as I underftand, in favour of a petition to
Parliament, and among thefe Mr. Ryan was the
principal. Lord FINGAL was decidedly againft the
Catholics putting themfelves forward in the bufinefis
but rather to leave it to the difcretion and liberality
of his Majelly's Minifters, and his Lordfhip's opi-
nion had the influence of preventing any decifive ac-
tion, or any refolution for that day ; and the meeting
was again adjourned for a fortnight. There is no
man of good fenfe and moderation who mull not
applaud the Earl of FINGAL'S =duff in this affair.
It proves him, what no one who knows him could
ever doubt, a true friend to his Sovereign and his
Country. Otnellions of this nature, and contells for
privileges (wffich GOD knows are but a feather in
the fcale), would come forward with a very bad
grace at fuch a moment as the prefent. When the
enemy is at the door is not precifely the time for any
portion of fociety to be making conditions of defence,
or taking, what would feem, an advantage of public
ensbarradinent- Not that 1 would have it inferred
that any thing that remains of coußitutional privls
lege fhould not be given to the Catholic Body. It
ought ; they have a right to it, and it is neither jug
nor politic to withhold it. But I muff repeat, what
I Paid before, that the great bulk of the frith Cads°•
lies neither know, nor care one ftraw about thefe
' meetings of a few Catholic merchants in Dubljn, or
about the obje& of them : And from the refult of
thole meetings, and from the circumfiance of general
apathy in the Catholic Body, a difeuffion of Catholic
claims in Parliament muff evidently be a faffious pro*
cedure. linters it originate with the Government it-
felf. Nu other party is invited to throw in the apple
of difeord ; the fee will not thank them,; the pub-
lie at large, diferiminsting between oppofition and
patriotifm, fhould mask fuch conduit with deferred
reprobation.
Every man here, anxious for the exißence of Eu-
ropean civilization, feels deferred horror at the
barbarous arrea of our Minifter at Hamburgh s. but
there wasted to new inflame to lbew that, with the
Uturper of the Throne of the Bouasons, and the
Proarater of French liberty, every queßion is that
of power; and right is obliterated from his code of
laws, dißindt or national. Will Europe ever awake t

ROYAL HUNT.—On Saturday morning his Ma-
Jerry. foon after breakfait, left the Queen's Lodge
at Windfor, and rode to Arcot Heath, accompanied
by the Duke Can and General FITZROY,
where the.y were met by the Earl of SAnowica, and
a numlter of Gentlemen, who were waiting to join
his :shims. in the fports of the field. In a Ihort
t'one after the arrival of his IVlalt {TT, a very fine
young deer was turned out of a cart, near the dog-
' kennel, for the day's diverfion. At Darting. he ran
with great fwiftnefs acrofs the race-courfe, making a
double through the inclofures by Winkfield Plata,
taking back into the foreft, where he (hewed great
(port in croffing the heath. The company were all
in full view, and the deer continued in fall fpeed for
a confiderable time, and on his coming to a very
large bog. he gave a leap, but did not clear it, and
felfin, and he could not get out ; the hounds purfued
him into the bog. and got upon him, and feized him,
which ended the day's (port. The chafe continued
upwards of two hours. The deer was from Rich.
111:011d Park.
WALKING( MATCN.—The very intereßing match,
in which Lieut. FAIRMAN, of the Royal Lanarketire
Militia, was to travel on foot fiat> miles in four-
teen fucceßive hoots. was decided on Ipfwich Race-
Ground. He Ratted exaftly at two o'clock in the
morning; a mile previoufly meafured nn the courfe
being lighted. The lights were not fufficient to ren-
der the firi &our hours even tolerable travelling. He
however went 21 miles in that time. during which
no bets could be made. About this time a heavy
fog came on, which laDed till near noon: he had
then been forty lix miles, having refrethed twice;
Rill no betting; his fp' • were good all the while,
and the intereit the numerous (pelt:dors took in his
behalf, animated him extremely ; he continued going
at about four miles and a half an hour till three quar-
tets paD cote, and then he Ilickened his pace about
four miles an hour, and the laD two or three miles
took him each feventeen minutes. He finifhed the
diflance at 33 minutes pall three in the afternoon,
27 minutes lets than the limited time ; as minutes
were expended in refrefhing himfelf, at a cottage,
whither he went five times, which lengthened his walk
:so yards. He was falutel by the buzzes of the
populace and condufted to a poll chaife, which was
fent to convey hi to Ipfwich ; but Lieunt Co-
lonel Loc1111•RT. mof the fame regiment, wte an
ith great
politencfs and tepee, infifted on his accompanying
him in his (the Colonel's) carriage, which was wait-
ing. The Colonel was underflood to have made the
bet againß him. This match, we are informed, was
for 3oogs. each, and bets to the amount of wogs.—
Lieutenant F. was drefied in white calico.
