The dispatches received by the hams schooner, as
wz. announced yesterday, were from Marquis WEL•
LESIAEY. They are dated from Seville the 30th Oc-
tober, and announce his Lordship's acceptance of the
Seals of 'the Foreign Department,
His Lordship intended to sail from Cadiz, If pos.
sible, on the Bth inst. on board the DONNEGAL man
of war, and his arrival in England may therefore be
day expected.

The PICKLE left Cadiz on the Ist instant, two days
after the BRITANNIA. She brings no official confir-
mation of the reported victory obtained by Lord
CoLuxowoon's fleet ; but if we may credit accounts
that have r:ached us from Plymouth, a report that
the French fleet had been defeated was current at
Cadiz when the PiccLE

By the PICKLE we have received Spanish Papers to
the I. t inst. from which we have given some extracts.
They contain a few scanty details of military opera-
tions, and speak exultingly of the fresh insurrections
in Gallicia and Navarre ; and, with respect to Gerona,
it is stated at the enemy bare convened the siege
Tinto a blockade. The British army in the neighbour-
bpodof Portugal is said tohave been reinforced by same

corps from that country. The divisions of NaY
MORTIER have joined in the neighbourhood of Placen-
cia-4 concentrated French force is assembled at To-i
ledo ;—the Spanish division of Estramadura his its
headquarters at Deleytosa ; and those of General)
BERESFORD are at Castel Branco. An insurrection is
stated to have lately taken plade at Rome, in which a
number of French and three Cardinals were killed.
An English fleet, of upwards of 20 sail, is said to
have been off Barcelona, about the middle of October.
This was about the time LordCommowoon is stated
to have sailed from Minorca.

On the 31st ult. nothing decisive was known at'
Cadiz, respecting the establishment of the new Go-
vernment. The proceedings in the Junta, on the
28th, which was expected to prove an important day,
had not transpired at Cadifi three days after.

The PLOVER sloop of war, which has arrived at
Plymouth, fell in with the CONFIANCE passing up
Channel from the Brazils, and received on board from
the latter a Naval Officer, charged with dispatches
from Admiral DE COUITCY ; and a Gentleman, said
to be Lord STRANGFORD'S private Secretary, charged
with dispatches from his Lordship. These gentle•
men were landed atPlymouth the moment she arrived,
and after taking refreshment at GOUDE'S Tavern,
they set off for town in a post-coach and four. Their
dispatches are voluminous, but no part of their con•
tents have transpired.
A vessel which arrived at Plymouth on Tuesday from
the Straits, confirms the intelligence that the expedition
from Sicily and Malta, has taken possession, in the
name of his BRITANNIC MAJESTY, of the two Greek
islands, Zante.and Cephalonia ; and were preparing
for the ulterior objects of the expedition.

The subsequent letter was received yesterday from
Virginia :

Norfolk, October 14.

Before this time the President has most assuredly arrived at
Washington from the country; but he can have had no official
interview. with Mr. Jackson. The negotiations must be deferred
till the meeting of Congress, which will be in the beginning of
next month, when this important business will be laid before
them and fully discussed.—The result of that discussion is the
subject of much conjecture. Some say, that they will agree to
,the propositions of the British Minister; and others are of opi-
nion that this Government cannot, consistently with its own
honour, do any thing but insist upon the ratification of Mr. Ers-
kine's Treaty. Should the latter be the case, and your Ministers
continue obstinate in refusing to sanction that arrangement, we
can foresee nothing but hostility, as our Government can be as
pertinacious as yours.

Yesterday, at two o'clock, a Cabinet Council was
held at the Foreign Office, which did not break up till
half-past five. There were present, the LORD CHAN-
CELLOR, Earls BATHURST, LIVERPOOL,CHATHAM, and
HARROWBY, Lord MULGRAVE, the CHANCELLOR of the
EXCHEQUER, Mr. RYDER, and Mr. R. S. DUNDAS.
The KING has been graciously pleased to confirm
the honour of Knighthood on Sir THOMAS STAINES,
by granting him his Royal Licence and Permission
to accept of the Royal Sicilian Order of St. Ferdinand
and Merit, conferred upon him by his SICILIAN MA-
JESTY, in consequence of his services when Com-
manding his Majesty's ship CYANE, in the Bay of
Naples, in June last.
The Earl of ROSSE has been appointed Post Mas-
ter General of Ireland, in the room of Lord CLAN-
CART Y.

This day, Sir RICHARD STRACIIAN left town for
Walcheren, to superintend the embarkation of our
troops, &c. from that island : 150 canal diggers are
embarked for the purpose of cutting down the dykes.

Orders have been sent to the Port Admiral at Ply.
mouth to send to sea every ship of force fit for actual
service. They are destined to cruize in different points
along the French coast, with a view of picking up the
straggling ships that might have escaped from Lord
COLLINGWOOD, and run for their own ports in various
directions.

A Portuguese ship fitted out for the African trade,
has been seized in the River, as an infraction of the
Law for the Abolition of the Slave Trade. It was
under the care of a Portuguese House, by which it is
alleged, that the vessel so prepared for that commerce
was the property of the master and supercargo, who
are both subjects of tEe QUEEN of PORTUGAL. The
matter will probably be decided in the Court of Admi-
ralty after the Christmas Recess.

The funeral of the late Marquis of LANSDOWNE took
place yesterday at Paddington, a spot pointed out by
himself in his life-time. The ceremony was con-
ducted, according to his wish, with as little pomp as
was consistent with respect. ROBERT HOLT
Esq. M. P. and HEN UT SNIITIIt Esq. M. P. the Exe-
cutors, with Sir JOIIN GIFFORD, Bart. assisted.

The coffin, as usual for persons of the rank of the
Marquis, was covered with crimson velvet, with gilt
ornaments and a gilt plate enumerating his Lordship's
titles and honours. The procession consisted of

The usual Attendants on horseback.

or intimate friendship with the deceased : viz.

Mr. Conyers, Mr. Baker, the Lord Primate of Ireland, Lord Hol-
land, Mr. H. Smith, and Mr. Leigh.
The body was deposited in a private vault, pur-
chased for the purpose, under the Chancel.
On Tuesday the Court of King's Bench decided
tha cause of the Earl of LINDSEY against the Trustees
of the late Duke of Aarc.ssrEft, in favour of his Lord-
'ship,. by which he becomes possessed of his ancient
family property of Uffington, near Stamford.
There is now an apple-tree in blossom, in a garden
at the bottom of Southgate-street, Gloucester ; and

Yesterday afternoon a pilot belonging to this port,
named Mason, was employed to work a foreign vessel
up Hamoaze, just at the time the CONFLICT gar-brig
was working down the harbour : both ships accord-
ing came in contact ; when Mason, .in order to save
his boat which was alongside, jumped into it, with
the intention of going to the other side of the vessel ;
unluckily, however, he had scarcely descended into
the boat, when both ships closed, and crushed the
poor fellow to death between their sides. His death
must have been instantaneous, as every bone in his
body was literally pulverized. He was a widower,
and has left a large family.
