This morning arrived a Mail from the Leeward
Ifiands, brought to Falmouth by the CARTELETT
Packet, in 3: dayi pa loge. The letters were not de-
livered out at the time this Paper was put to prefs.

North of Geemany from becoming the theatre of war.

Auttria I In either cafe, the releafe of fuch a force
at filch a moment, is of the molt 'trims im?ortance,
and may be the fource of many events tirongly cal•
ctfated to affea the progrefs and ultimate Me of the
war. To this particular point of Continental politics
Ire have the more Itudioully direCted the attention of
the public, not only bccaufe it is that refpatiog which
we poffefs the latell information, but becaufe in its
!Mute and tendency it is more new and interefling
than any of the other articles received yefterday front
the Continent, which contain little in addition to
what we already knew, or what might naturally
be est:idled.

The laft Meffenger from Peterlburgh brought po.
itive orders for the fpeedy departure of Count &rait-
GOIIOFF, on his miffion to Madrid. He Will there.
fore have Thomas's Hotel, Berkeley-fquare, in the
courfe of a few days. accompanied by hit numerous
fuite. It is conjeitured, that meafures are atoUt to
be adopted for the relief of Spain from the tyranny of
BOiiAPARTE, and Count STRACONOFF is ftilfY cm-
powered to ad on any great emergency.
By a neutral veffel from Lilbon, detained and
brought into one of our out-ports, we learn, that an
account had arrived there from Madrid, of the Prince
of Peace having exhibited high charges againft cer-
tain diqinguithed perfonages, which had produced
loch a violent fenfation throughout the kingdom,
that bodies of troops were every where in motion,
to anticipate the confequences which were appre-
Lcaded.—The fhip which brought this intelligence is
laid to have left the Tagus nn the 7th inftant.

Letters from on board the Channel Fleet, dated
of Uthant, the loth intl. have been received. By
th,:re we learn, that on the preceding day the REVO-
z.nriosistas, SURINAM, and another vael, recon-
noitred the port of Brea, when they found that the
whole of the enemy's fleet, confining of 21 fail of
the line, (even frigates, and corvettes, had gone into
the inner harbour, or what is called Brea Water, to
thelter themfelves from the effects of the late wrong
winds. Our fleet, at that time, confined of nine
teen fail of the line, and feveral frigates, which were
expefted to be joined on the following day by the
BARFLEUR, and Come other !kips Of the line. By the
fame letters we are informed, that on the td init. the
Irma frigate fell in with an enemy's lquadron of
(even fail of the line and two frigates, in ht. 46. N.
long. 23. W. by which the was for Come time chafed;
but owing to the approach of night, the was unable
to afortain the courfe they afterwards took. Pro-
bably the force alluded to was the R.ochefortfquadron
on its return to port.

As might naturally be expeaed, the preparations
for embarking a large force now making in the Downs,
are a fubjea of general converfation. To repeat every
idle rumour to which they give rife, would be ufelefs.
In the very nature of things, neither the precife time
of embarkation, nor the true deltination of the expe-
dition can be publicly known—excepting only its
general objea, which is to cooperate with our Con-
tinental allies. Our accounts from Chatham Rate,
that even the ammunition is not ready for the forces
that are to be employed on this fervice : if fo, the
time for employing it is Rill diftant. We may, how-
ever, remark, that it is not impolfible to manage bu-
finds of this kind without its being necerarily known
to the public. Indeed we think it more than probable',
that every thing in the line of ammunition that can pof-
fibly be wanted for fuch a fervice, muff have been long
ago prepared in great quantity ; for we are not willing
to believe, after being fo long threatened with invafion,
that Government would be fo culpably negligent on
a point of fo much importance. The thing is im.
poilible, and we have no doubt the event will Phew
it. According to all appearance the embarkation of
the troops will commence in the courfe of the prefent
veek. General MOORE'S brigade will embark in the
I)(,:.tns. The Highland brigade, with the 43d, 32d,
And 78th regiments, will embark at Portfmouth. It
underflood that Lord CATUCART will command
the cavalry, and General MOORE the infantry, and
that the Duke of Yoax will take the chief command
of the expedition.
It was not till yellerday that any part, in fpecie, of
the Subfidy for our allies on the Continent was fent
off from the Bank. Soon after nine o'clock in the
morning five waggons were brought to the back part
of the Bank, to carry feveral calks of dollars, which
were ready to be fent off to Portfmonth, for the
porpofe of being conveyed to the Continent. Each
waggon held about fourteen calks, and when they
left the Bank they were ercorted by a party of Honk-
Guards, who were inftrufled to fee the money fafely
lodged on board fhip. The rum altogether was ef-
timated at half a million.

THEATRE, COVENT GARDEN.—Laft night the per-
formances at this Theatre commenced for the realm
1805.6, and were very refpeilably attended. The
Play was The School for Reform, and the After piece
7he Padlock. In the firft, the only nnticable change
was HARGRAVE viceCOOK P, in Lord eivondole,which he
performed with tolerable fuccefs. In the Farce, a
Mr. BENNET from Bath was the Diego of the even-
ing. Of the extent of his vocal powers we cannot
(peak decidedly, but hefitate not to pronounce him a
good fubffitute for thole who have immediately pre-
ceded him in fuch ascaft of characters. His action is
rather animated ; and he is a fubaantial Rage figure,
rather thicken in years.
American papers to the r t th ult. have been received.
The long pending difpure with Spain teems to be re-

Notes unufually animated had lately pallid between
the American Secretary of State and the Spanilh Mi-
filler, Mr. YRule."—The Cities of New York and
Philadelphia continue in a great meafure free from
the yellow fever; and at Newhaven and Providence
the Difeafe teems to have made no alarming progrefs
at the date of the lag accounts. The narrative which
we have copied, of the capture of a privateer and
her two prizes, in St. Mary's River, by a tender be-
longing to the CAMBRIAN frigate, is the moll impor.
rant article which appears in them. For determined
perfeve ranee, and a gallant contempt of danger, this
action does not yield to the proudelt of thole which
have occurred in the courfe of the prefent war.
The State of Ohio have concluded a treaty with
the Indian tribes, by which 1,200,cr00 acres have
been ceded to the United States, for an annuity of

There are accounts from the Ilk of France, via

Another Embalry is about to leave Bombay for
Mufcar, in order to firengthen the bonds of amity
fubflaing between the two Governments.
Accounts from China, by the fleet recently ar-
rived, Rate, that the rebellion in the Upper Pro-
vinces has affumed a very ferious afpe&. The Im-
perial troops had made feveral unfuccefsful attacks
on fome hill forts occupied by the infurgents ; and at
the time of our (hips leaving Macao, a report
prevailed there, that General Dunum had, together
with the greaten part of his army, perilbed in an

Bread is falling every week, the harveft has been
abundant beyond example, our commerce preponder-
ates over the globe, the vain boafting of the enemy
recoils upon him with contempt, and to make up
the climax. the profped of an ample fortune will
not fail to be fpeedily tealifed by many of the pur-
chafers in the prefent excellent Lottery, the Scheme
of which, in number of Capital Prizes and general
arrangement of the benefits, is incunteftibly better
than any that has for many years been before the
public.
