We are happy to learn, that a regolar exchange of
prifonert between this country and France is imme.
dia:ely to take place. Mr. PAGET is togo to Fiance
as Agent for our Government, for that purpofe.
On Thurfday lath, the INDEFAVGARLR, Captain
MOORE, which had been cruizing off the coalt of
Spain, came into Torbay, and, having put a Gentle-
man on board a fifhing finack, failed again imme-
diately. the Gentleman was landed by the fmaek
at Plymouth, from which he fet oft exprels for town
with difpatches, as is foppofed, of great Mil-on:nee,
but nothing terpeeting the object of them has yet
tranfpired.

A King's meffengcr arrivcdin t.:-)wi early on Tuef-
day lag, from the Earl of Moms, in Leicellerfhire•
bearing difpatches from his Lordthip to his Royal
Hightiefb the Prince of Wat.ss, and the LORD CHAN-
ceLLoft. On the fame morning, Mr. ERSKINE and
Mr. SHERIDAN were clofeted with his Royal High-
nefs at Carleton Houle, for five hours.
A fucceffin is confidently announced to Lord Hatt-
aowav, whole health difables him from continuing
to difcharge the funftions of Secretary of State for
the Foreign Department ; but we have reafbn to think
that this arrangement has not yet been definitively
agreed upon.--As to the more eztended changes
which are fuppofed to have taken place in the Cabi-
net, the utmolt inyitery is ohferved ; nor do we ima-
gine that it is the intention of Government to declare
them very long previous to the meeting of Par-
iiament.

Further private accounts found their way from
Holland, yefterday, by which it appears that Tome
great (hock is expeeted to take place, in confequence
of the meditated attempt of the French Government
to change the form of the Batavian Conflitution.—
Hints are (till thrown out in regard to the expeCted
interference of the King of Pausste, but nothing
certain appears known on the fubjeCt.
A few more French and Dutch Papers, of the
fame dates as thole which we have already quoted,
were received yetterday, but they furnifh no new in•
formation.

Yeflerday morning at fix o'clock twc Meffengers
arrived at Kitty, with to i,is MAJESTY,
and at nine his MAJESTY fet otf for Windfor.
Yellerday, about twelve o'clock, her MAJESTY and

Yeflerday a great number of Midfhipmen and Mat
