Yefterday morning, at ten o'clock, a Privy Coun-
cil met at the Cockpit, and continued to fit until
near four in the afternoon. In the interval, feveral
mellengcrs were fent into the city; a circumilance
which, added to the unufual length of the fitting, a
(pace of nearly fix hours, gave rife to various re-
ports. The general opinion was, that the Council
met upon foam fubjett conneited with the defence
of the country, and that the meffages related to the
Volunteers. The Council was attended by Mr.
ADDINGTON. _ _

Mr. INTT was not in the Honfe of Commons laft
night, but in his abfence Mr. &ruling! lieu RN a gave
notice, that it was Mr. Pt TY'S intention, on Friday, to
fubmit to the Home his plan refpetting the Military
Defence of the Country. Mr. Moot ROTOR alked if
the plan was tl e tame which Mr. PITT had formerly
propofed and Mr. STURGIS anfwered it was, as tar
as he underliood, nearly the fame.

We ondernand that the Ruffian Mini!lets at NA.
pies, Floren:e, and Madrid, have received the fame
orders as their countrymen in tiroilar nations at Ber-
lin, Vienna, and Paris, to pat on mourning for the
miirdeed Duke of Eautti kw. The Sovereigns who
rule over the Two Sicilies, over Spain and Tacany,
are Boum:nos ; and they owe to their elder brine+, I
while reigning in Fearer, the throne they now occu-
py; even the Kis° of ETIL UR la would have been un-
able to degrade Monarchy by Ira .laf.rig a revolu-
tionary kingdom, had opt Lovis XIV. made his
grandfon Patt.tr V. 11 King of Spain a century km:-
fore. What an ilfult to their rank as Sovereigns !
what a reproach to their feelings a. relatives, not to
dare to mourn fo: the untimely den h of an heroi.

Difpatehes were yeflerday received from the Chan-
nel fleet cruising off Brea, as alto from the Ferrol
fquadron; the former left the Beet all well on Wed-
ne(day left, at which time the enemy appeared to be
making coufiderable exertions to increafe his marine
force. The French and Dutch Otips in Ferrol har-
bour had manifefied no defign of putting to fea.
Yefierday morning Lord !deceit-La had an au-
dience of the Duke of You, at his office.
An order has been lately iffued by his Royal High-

The Difpatch, one of the molt beautiful brigs in

EACLIIII 111 FRANCI....-Wt lean) by a letter from
Captains Frank Cundy, of the Betfey, to his friends,
dated at Verdun, May 1, that he was landed in
France on the 7th blatel,, and after a march of
nearly boo milts in eleven days, arrived at Verdon.
There were about 700 Englifii prikiners at Verdun
at the time pl C..prain Cundy's writing. There, we
apprehend, are chiefly mallets of vac's and other
officers ; es in another part of his letter he lays, the
to-entanmen are at Cbarlemont ; ansong which fore-
mailmen, he mentions John Vivian, who was well
,;ti the a&li of April. Among the prifoners at Ver-
dun, Captain C. mentions Captains G. Cooper, of
Brian! ; William Harris, of Swanfea ; J. Sincock, and 1
W. Purdhafe, of Penzance i—Jenkin, of Clovelly ;
and J.d.n James of the Mount. Thete were all in
good health, and bad the liberty of walking abotit
the town and a Mort dillance into die country ; but
were obliged to attend twice every day at a certain
office, and infcribe their names in a book :Ist fur the
' purpofe. They are allowed 39 byres (about 14s. ad.)
a month each, which is heresy fufficient to Bud them
necelaries. Captains Candy and Manic, with two
others, lodge in a cl..ubit-bedd:d row)a for which
they pay sic a montla.
