have been taken by the fquadron under Sir JOl4ll
Ocot.

lalt night we received a complete relies of Paris
Journals to the sBth ult. and Dutch Gazettes to the

The Rotterdam Mercury contains a letter from a
Lieutenant• Colonel MA Coos to the Mayor of
Paris, accompanying a patriotic gift of 36 francs
(about sos.) for building tranfport tbips, or fiat but-
tamed boats, for the purpofe of making a defcent on
England and Ireland. We have given a place to this
letter, not on account of its importance, but to chew
in what manner the French People are deluded by
the falfeboods and enifteprefentations of unprincipled
adventurers.

Sir J. B. Wataam, our )ate Ambaffador to the
Court of St. Peterlburgb, accompanied by Lady
Waziaw.and Count MUIISTRIt.the Hanoverian Mi.
' nifter, with the whole of his ;bites !Strived in town
yefterday. His Secretary, Mr. Paton, had previ.
oufty arrived at an early hour at the honk of Lady
CLAVlallia, the mother of Lady Warman. with the
intelligence of the arrival of the ex-Ambaffador and
foite at Harwich on Wednefday. Sir Joint and fuite
left St. Peterfburgh for Cronfladt, where the Ant-
rim* rtigate lay, which carried out Lord G. L.
Gowsa, and was defined to convey the Baronet
home. But the paffage being interrupted by um
frog. the party were obliged to proceed by laud to
Revel, a diftance of two hundred Englilb miles,
where they remained for three days before the Asia-
-llvar could be cutout of the ice, and was able to
join them. They were a fortnight upon their pal age
from Revel to Hofely Bay, where they quitted the
frigate, and embarked on board the Citeanaa gun-
brig, which landed them on Wednefday at Han
with. Sir Joins was received with diftinguillied ho-
nours on his landing. The Pio esti, frigate fired I
falute of fifteen guns, which was returned by the
CHaacia, and the bells of the town rang a merry
peal. After having taken tome refrelhrnenr, the
party bet out for town, and ftept on Wednefday night
at Colchefter. They were expected in town Went
day, at three o'clock, at Dvaenv's hotel. Albe-
marle-greet, where a party of relatives and friends,
including Lady Cues Lama and her niece, attended
to receive them ; but their anxious expeftation was
not gratified until feven o'clock in the evening, when
the worthy Baronet and fuite arrived.
We underhand that the pub! • entre of Lord G.
L. Cows,. into St. Peterfburgli was one of the molt
fplcndid exhibitions of this kind ever witneffed in
that city. The moment his Lotdfhip's arrival at
Cronfladt was known, his Secretary of Legation at
St. Petertburgh difpatched all his carriages to meet
him, with the whole of his retinue. The carriages
were fix in number, each drawn by fix honks moll
elegantly capatiforied, and ornamented wi h ribbons,
ice. and filled or attended by his numerous fervants,
in hate liveries. The cavalcade entered St. Peterf:
burgh at fix o'clock in the evening, and his entre Was
announced by the ringing of bells sod a discharge
of artillery. The military were drawn up to receive
him, and every greet through which Le hatted (hew-
ed demonitrations of joy :•rict fatisfaelitas. Tilde
circumftances are of importance, as they prove the
yealnus friendfhtp of the Cabinet of St. Peterfburgh
for England. and alio the popular feeling in that
' city. His Lordlhip and fuite occupy the Cam: noble
hotel in which his pied:Tell-or 7 efided.
It is fifteen years lilt Monday lince the inhabitants

tinned to inereafe to fuch a degree, that candles were
Obliged to be abed in Annul every houle, brim half
pa:l eight till nine o'clock. Soon after nine o'clock
it began to clear off a little, but a Confiderable fog
continued till night. Owing to the fog, feveral acci-
dents happened among the craft on the river. Two
or three watermen had their boats Rove, and one
man was dreadfully bruifed. Several Tads under
fail were obliged to drop their anchors.
Exvi.osion.—The inhabitants of America•fqtiar-
and the Crefeent, were much alarmed yellerday ;in • •
