:
We tailed very fuddenly from Falmouth lift Saturday, and
were fide days in reaching this place ; what is the reafon of me
ranting here, none of us can fonn the Intl idea, nor was the
plaCe of our destination made public until we got to fea. Op:cions
are various. By (cutc it is fuppored that we are to he joined by tlte
troops already embarked at this place, under the command of sit
David raird, and that an attack on the Cape is meditated ; poffef-
ling the Brazils is likewife men:lotted ; whilft others fuppore we
are to keep company as far as the Mediterranean. 'zir H. ere Pep-

By letters inn received, we learn that the celebra-
ted traveller •Mumeo Peaks, wU his companions
Meffrs. Aansesne and SCOTT, who failed from
Portfmoutb in the Crefcent tranfpmt fix months ago,
having touched at the Iflancts of Jago and Gorce,
arrived at Rayay, nn the River Gambia, on the 14th
of April, whence they were to proceed in a few dayi
into she interior of Africa, to effei the bafinefs on
which they were difpatched, and which we believe
to be of a very important and extenfive natoret—e
The heat was at that time fo excel lve. that the tbep.
mometer was conftantly at too degreeaand upwards
in the thade, and for two or three hours atter funfet,
.continued at from 82 to 92 degrees. We are happy,
however, to hear that notwithstanding this excels of
heat, the whole party had enjoyed pe7feft health
they had only loft' one of the 5o men they had
ceived From the African corps at Goree, though
they had been above 14 dayslin the river; and
man had been unwell before they left the ifland.
There is no truth in the report of the Mate of an
Arne, icaii rad in the Downs haring att.:roved to
blow up the fhip. The veffel, which was bound to
Batavia, was detained by one of our crullers, in con-
fequence of h tving on board a large quantity of gun-
powder ; and when lent into the Downs, a drunken
failor on board uttered fume abfurd expreflions;frons
which the report is fuppofed to have originated.
