Laft night another Hamburgh Mail arrived, but
anterior in date to the one which arrived yellerday
morning.

We have forborne, for Come days, to mention a
circumftance, then reprefented as a very ferious
matter, but refpeCting which, we arc happy to hear
no ferious apprehenfions need now be entertained.
We forbore to mention it from motives which all
our Readers mull approve, and becanfe we could
not believe that any confiderable number 'of the
brave tars of Old England would degride them-
(elves by any aft bale, unworthy, or ungrateful.—
Differert newfpapers, however, having mentioned
the nature of the bufinefs, we think it our duty to
guard the Public againft any exaggerated sate-
ments that may be circulated.
The fait is limply this : a few Tailors on board
one of the chips at Bantry Bay, have been grumb-
ling about the hardfhip of going out at this time
to the Weft Indies, their fuppofed deflination,
when they expeCted to have gone home. It is not,
we believe, a thing of much moment in itfelf,
though any inflames of infubordination in the navy
are of very perilous example. We cannot fuppofe,
indeed, that ferious or general proofs of difobedi-
ence could be given on board any fhip, far lets in
a fleet. It would be the blackell ingratitude in
the feamen of the Britifh navy to conduit them-
(elves in a way incordifient with the public fervice.
They have, indeed, ferved their Country well ;
but in return they have been liberally rewarded.
Every thing has been done, even to profulion,
in providing for their wants, and adding to their
comforts. On every occafion they have experien-
ced that they are the favourite fervants of the pub-
lic, and patroniled to their full fnare of defert.—
On every occafion private generofity has bees for-
ward to teflify approbation of merit, and to ad-
mini fler to wants—to relieve fufferings, and con-
role afilietions, inevitably conflated with the viao-
ries of our fleets—in cafes for which national pro.
vifion was not made, and for which, perhaps, for
the fake of the imprelion and elle& of particular
inflances it is, not neceffary that Rational provilion
fhould be made.
The Cabinet met twice in the eourfe of Mon-
day, on this interefling fubjed, and another meet-
ing of Council took place laft night at Earl Sr.
VINCENT'S houfe.

We have little doubt that, before this time, every
fymptom of infubordination has vani(hcd. It would
require only a few moments thought, to make any
true. hcarted tar afhamed of (hewing any back.
wardnefs, when the good and fafety of his coun-
try (till require his Cervices.

The Gazette of laft night contains the two Or-
ders of Council, mentioned in our Paper of Mon-
day, the one prohibiting the exportation, the other
allowing the importation of provifions.
Difpatches were tall night fent off, by exprefs,
to Portfmouth.

On Saturday !aft a Patent paired the Great Seal,
giving precedence to Sir Jolts MITFORD, after the
A FTORNLY and SOLICITOR GrNtitat, fhould he
be aga'n difpofed to return to the Bar.
Mr. POLL has offered himfelf a Candidate, to
reprefent the Q2een's County in Parliament, in
confequenee of the death of Sir JOHN PARNELL.
Admiral WARREN has arrived in Town, and oc-
cupies his-old refidence in Portugal•fireet, Grof-
venor•fgriarc.
Earl ST. VINCENT is at his Villa at Fulham. bet-
ter in point of health, but not yet well. On Mon-
day the CMANCELLOt of the ExcIIECVER paid him
a visit, and Mr. NEPE•N was ttanGtaing bufincfs
with his Lordthip the whole of that day.
A letter front Liibon Rates that the eldeft bro-
ther of the reigning Prince is jull dead of the fmall-
pos. The only fon of the Duke de Fowl:, is
alto dead of the fame malady.
The KinG of Pfau ,siR has written a congratu-
latory letter to the KING of ETRURIA on li:s enter-
ing on his Govetnment.
The Marquis Dir. CAMPO is appointed the Spa-
nilh at Amiens.
We have heard that the celebrated commercial
Louie of the Hopi s, of Amsterdam, have made
application to the Dutch Govetnment about ob-
taining pertniffion to recommence their birfinefs in
that city. The Dutch Government, it is raid, gas 'C
ior anlsver, that they had no obalion to the re.
turn of the MOT;. Hort s, hut that as the latter
Ltd quitted Holland, and carried aft their property
to a place otfaftly, it was but just that they fhou'.d
pay op the taxes which in their abfence had been
ILid on property in Holland, amounting to about
1 thirty her c-nt. on the capital. We know not whe-
i firer the conditions have been aweed to.
