ANOTHER LETTER, SAME DATE.

" Very tl.ing here has a very sombre appearance.
English are preparing with all possible speed to
racuate the Island ; and in the space of fourteen
no's there will not be an Englishman to be seen. The
sferps which arrived here a few days ago from Eng-
N had the appearance as if it was intended to de-
!'.d the Island ; but no positive information could be
rocured from the Commander as to the intentions of
Cie Executive Government : but now we have ascer-
tined the fact, and there is nothing left but to ship
incrAiately all the remaining goods for England. A
c:77 has just arrived. but the cargoes are not sul-
ked to be landed, and are to remain on bard the
sips, and to return to England.
" For ten days past every one has been upon the
irt. The outer sluices have been broken down, but
de inner ones still remain to prevent the salt want-
fen inundating the town. For some days we have
ben embarking all the stores, heavy and brass guns
fnn the ramparts. The gates and fortifications
wand Flushing have been undermined, so that the
moment all is embarked they will be blown up. Our
gri!on consists only of 600 or 700 men. It is re..
ved here that an embargo bas taken place in
H Aand.

P. S —Sit►ce writibg the above I have learned,

tOTTENBURGH HAM.

This morning we received two Gottenburgh mails :
their contents, in a political point of view, are unim-
portant:

GOTTENBURGH, NOV. 20.
General d'Adlersparre, who left this place on
Tuesday last, has taken a circuitous route to Jonko-
ping, where he is to assist in the arrangements for a
Peace between Sweden and Denmark—from thence
he will proceed to the frontiers of Norway, to meet
the Prince Augusteinburg, whom he will accompany
to this place, where the l'rince is expected to make
some further arrangements respecting his succession
to tke throne of Sweden.

STOCKHOLM, N0V.91.
According to the last accounts from Abo, the new
Council of Regency established in that place for the
Administration of the Grand Duchy of Finland,
ceded to Russia by the last treaty of peace, has en-
tered upon its functions,

JONKOPING, NOV. 18.
The Royal Danish Minister Charged to negotiate
a peace with Sweden, arrived here last Saturday, the
11th inst. nearly at the same time with the Swedish
Plenipotwntiaries, and the Congress bas already corn.
menced its sittings and deliberations.

Intelligence has been received from Lithuania that
the important town of Minsk has been totally destroy-
ed by fire; and that besides considerable damage has
been done in that country by hail-stones, some of
which weighed lbs.

The Princess AMELIA is rather better.
GENERAL MORRISON.--A considerable degree of
apprehension has been excited for the fate of General
MORRISON, who was sent as Commander in Chief at
Jamaica. He has been said to be lost, because the
LITTLE BELT, which is reported to have foundered,
was said to have him on board. But he sailed in the
NIORE, Captain LORING, on the Ist of September.—
But as report was spread that the ship which carried
the General had foundered, it was concluded that the
NIOBE was lost, but without any probability, though
the circumstance has produced much anxiety in the
minds of those who bad friends in the
,Ntoar. We
mention this to clear the subject, and trace the foun-
dation of the report.
Bow-srmr.—Thomas Daly, the watchman of St.
Mary le Strand, who is charged with being concerned
with another man, in seducing Caroline Wilcox, when
going by the Liverpool coach, from the Golden Cross
inn, into St. Giles's, and robbing her of a bundle, con-
taining upwards of W2OO and her clothes, was yester-
day brought to this office, for further examination.
Caroline Wilcox described her situation as before
detailed—she was on board the Beagle at the attack
on the French fleet in Basque Roads, and was also on
board her at the capture of Flushing, when she re-
ceived a wound in her ancle from a grape shot.
Abraham James, the ostler at the Golden Cross,
Charing-cross, said, that he remembered calling the
prosecutrix, Caroline Wilcox, on Sunday morning
week, about six o'clock, from the door of the Coach
and horses public house, St. Martin's-lane, in conse-
quence of the Liverpool coach being nearly ready to
start, and knowing she was going by it—the coach
waited abc,ut ten minutes for her.

Martha, the wife of Edward Brown, of the Black-
Dog public house, Drury-lane, said, she recollected
the prisoner, together with several other watchmen,
coming to her house on Sunday morning week, be.
twe'm six and seven o'clock—they had three half-
pints of gin, but would only pay for two, and left the
house without paying. She said no woman came
into the house with them.

The prosecntrix explained this, by acknowledging
she did not go into the house, but remained on the
outside of the door, and got some milk of a woman
who was passing at the time.

Benjamin Potter, the servant of Nicholas Berger,
the landlord of the Cock public-house, in Dyot-street,
St. Giles's, the other public-house, where the prose-
cutrix was taken, said, that on the morning of Sun-
day se'nnight, between six and seven o'clock, he re-
collected the prisoner, another man, whom he did
not know, and Caroline Wilcox, the prosecutor, corn-
ing to his master's house. He did not recollect see-
ing Caroline Wilcox's bundle, but heard the prisoner
say, the other man had taken her bundle away. The
utrix made a great outcry for the loss of her
trudecle, and said, it contained cash and notes to the
amount of ,e2OO. The prisoner soon after followed
the ether m6tn.—The prosecutrix remained in the
house about half an hour, when a man, in a sailor's
dress, •w ho was in the house, seeing her distressed state,
took her home with him.

The prisoner was committed for further examina-
tion. Several Gentlemen subscribed to the prosecutrix.
MANSION-nouir.—Yesterday Sarah Wilson was fully
committed charged with steal(ng a watch, the pro-
perty of a young man, with whom she had formerly
been acquainted, and whip met her by chance, after
an absence of several years.

Four boys and a woman were charged with being
concerned in a burglary. The woman was detected
pledging some piece* of silk handkerchiefs, which had
been stolen. The constable told his Lordship, that two
of the boys, Who were about 14, had solicited to he
admitted King's evidence, and begged they might be
remanded for further examination, which was ordered
accordingly.

Saturday a Writ of Inquiry of damages was °ie..
tilted at the Secondary's Office in the City, in an ac-
tion brought by Mr. DURANT, a merchant in the City,
against a person, late driver of a Greenwich stage, for
a violent assault committed at Deptford in June last.
It appeared that the defendant's outrageous conduct
proceeded from Mr. D.'s refusal to pay an ex9rbi-
tant demand for the coach-fare. Mr.LAwEs attended
as counsel for the plaintiff, and spoke at some length
on the mischief continually resulting fioni the brutal
conduct of the Greenwich coachmen. The Jury,
after an able charge from the Secondary, awarded
220 damages.
A fine large turtle was, a few days since, caught
in Lochfine, Loa; the point fpf Minard, by the fisher-
min of Mr. Cabin /AL, of Kilberry.

ST. ifIVDI2EIV'S Difr. I

Yesterday being St. Andrew's Day, was observed,
as usual, by the Scotch, in Loodbli, with the most
rdigious exactness.
His Royal Highness the Duke of YORE, took the
Chair, at the Meeting, in behalf of the Scottish
Hospital. (*.trt his right, the Duke of CLARENCE,
Sir D. DUNHAS, Lotd KEITH, the Duke of KPNT,
the Spanish Ambassadors Don CEVALLOS and Ad.
miral APODACA, and the Tyrolese Deputies on hi.
left the Duke of MONTROSE, President of the Society,
the Duke of Sussex, with many Noble characters.
After a sumptuous dinner to upwards of 700 per-
sons, in the upper and lower rooms,the canon of " Non
nobis Dontine" was •sung by Messrs. Hill, Taylor,
Elliot, Evans, and Leet: His Royal Highness, the
Chairman, then gave The King, which was drunk with
enthusiasm, and plaudits continuing long after the
usual time allowed for any toast; " God save the King"
(by the singers before mentioned) chest followed, and
was received with tuttsults of applause.
The Queen and /loyal Family was then drank with
three times three.

On the health of The Duke of Tori and the Army being
proposed, with the honour of three tints three, the
feeling of approval was so strong as to cause the toast
to be givet with thunders of applause. The glee of
" To arms, to arms!" followed, and was highly ap-
plauded. The Duke of Clarence and Me Navy followed
the former toast, and was drunk with every demon-
stration of loyalty and affection, the band playing
the air of Rule Britannia, which was sung in chorus
by the room.
The Duke of Mormtost then addressed the meet-
ing. 44 Heroes and Statesmen had been honoured
with their applause, therefore he did not mean to oc-
cupy their time with discussions on these subjects.--
The King, the Heir Apparent, and generally the
Royal Family, had been drunk with all those mani-
festations of attachment which characterised Scots-
, Men ; but, before he sat down, he would propose the
healths of those other illustrious branches of the House
of Brunswick, who had honoured the meeting with
their presence, " The Dukes of Kent and Scusex‘"
This toast was received with unbounded applause,
and was followed with—" Success to the 3/mai:A Pa-
triots," and " Victory to the Tyrolean:, struggling in de-
fence of their liberties." To the former Admiral APO-
DACA returned his thanks, in the name of FERDINAND
Vllth, and the Spanish nation ; and to the latter,
it Scottish Gentleman, wsho acted as Interpreter
to the Deputies, rose in reply. We understand this
Gentleman was the Rev. damn ROBERTSON, the same
who carried, at the risk of his life, the first proposals
Made by Government to the Marquis de la ROSIANA,
last year, in Denmark.—His acknowledgements, in
the native language of Scotsmen, and addressed to
the most sacred feelings of his country, were received
with enthusiasm. He spoke as follows—
" GENTLEMEN—C a I led u pon to ex press the sen tim en ts
of your distinguished Guest and his absent Colleague,
I am directed to say in the name of both, that their
brave Constituents, when informed of the honours
conferred on their Delegates, will join in heartfelt
thanks for such hospitable and polite treatment, es-
pecially when shewn on this your national Feast.—
Plaudio).
" Brave Caledonians ! heirs of the valour and re-
nown of your ancestors, defenders of the civil liber-
ties and independence of every nation that dares to be
free, the Mountaineers of Tyrol and Vorarlberg are
proud to be reckoned by you Brethren in Arms, and
Champions of the same glorious cause.
" Had the other provinces of Germany and Italy
followed their example, as they did that of Spain,
turope would not now, to speak the language of our
native Poet BURNS,
See stern Oppression's iron gripe,
And mad Ambition's gory hand,
Sending like bloodhounds from the slip,
Woe, Want, and Murder, o'er the land."
(.4 thunder of applasue.)
" You know that it is not in man to coinmand suc
cess ; the Tyroleans have done more, Tura' HAVE DE-
SERVED IT—(ANdastse)—and in so doing they have de-
served your friendship, and forced esteem from their
very foes.—(Long and reiterated shout: of applause).
" Whatever PROVIDENCE may have decreed for
them, they assure you, my valiant and hospitable
Countrymen, that the Song of your venerable Baid,
OSSIAN, and the deeds of FINGAL, shall sooner cease
to be heard on your native mountains, than, in the
vallies of Tyrol, the praises of a nation where the
tumult of ivar does not silence the joys of festivity,
and where a people banquets on • deeds of com-
passion and benevolence"—( liniversalphiudits).
" The. Land of Cakes"—"'l e King and Constitution ;
and may we trammit Me latter unimpaired to our posterity,"
were drunk by the Dukes of CLARENCE 'and Susskac,
and re-echoed with unanimous plaudits by the coin-
pan y.--Mr. TAYLOR sang " When first to Italy I went,"
which was unanimously in.-ored. The following verse
was added, and, like the previous part of the song,'
received unbounded applausf! :

From all domestic woe,
ltrom ev'ry foreign foe,
Gun shield our King!
Upon great GEORGE the Good,
Whose throne thus long has stood,
Send down thy ehietest good ;
Long live our King!
After this followed the glee of " !Irian Ayrd,first,"
&c.: other loyal toasts and sentiments closed the en-
tertainment,

The bagpipe and union-pipe, by MACGREGOR, add-
ed to the musical treat ; and about ten o'clock, after
drinking the healths of the friends of the society in
India, who have scut £lOOO to its support, and other
benefactors, the company departed from the enjoy-
ment of a convivial but charitable feat.

CORK-MARKET, MARK-LANE, DEC. I.—To-day there

tuation—Barley in demand, a short supply, and rather

ment at Sole's Fountain Tavern, set off for Town.—
He is-a fine-looking man, and has a very numerous
retinue.

P. S. There are two fine French National brigs
thivr coming in ; but I cannot learn, in time for post,
by what ship they have been taken. A ship of war
is also now coming in from the westward.
I have every reason to believe that the two brigs,
just sent in, were consorts of the vessel captured by
the DRUID, and am informed they are full of men
arid stores.
