No further particulars have trantpired refpedling
the Calais bufinef,. We are, however, inclined to
believe, comparing all the accounts, that no more
was meant or attempted but to dearoy Ford Rouge,
iu-which we lucceeded completely.

The American brig Mount Vernon, Capt. Coz,
which paired Falmouth, on her way to 01lend, lad
Monday, fell in (abort a fortnight ago) with Ia
Sybille and Ia Didon, French frigates, in company
of a French privateer, of 16 guns, bound for France.

Private letters by the Moessnovon country (hip,
Capt. Kaiso, from Bengal, received yeßerday, Rata
that the war with Hoceeta, the Mabratta Chieftain,
was not finally fettled ; a battle had been fought in
the Bundeleund, in which the enemy had gained
tome advantage. Lieut. Col. Wtt.t.or, of the Ben-
' gal Artillery, died of his wounds near Burfar, in the
Bundelcund, on the a7th of May laR. Every means,
however, had been adopted by our Government in
India to cru(h this hollile Chief, whole efforts feem,
all relations being duly conftdered, to partake lefs of
valour than of derperation.

The letters received from Gibraltar by the Lifbon
mail, bring no frefh information refpeding the pro-
grefs of the malignant fever, but they agree with the
accounts received a few days ago, in Rating, that the
difeafe was very much upon the decline, and the vie•
tims comparatively few. On this fuhjeet our Readers
will, however, find in another column tome accurate
information, with which we have been favoured by
Lieutenant Colonel HOLM as, from a laudable defire
to relieve the apprehenfions of the relatives of the Of-
ficers of that garrifon.
Valentia, on the 16th of November, was free from
the fever. Alicant had experienced a favourable
change ; but Carthagena was Rill (offering under the
virulence of the diforder, and the average of the mor-
tality was from 95 to too daily. On the tph of No-
vember, the number of rick was 1587.

At Malaga, on the yyth of November, the fever
was entirely extina ; but the port was kept rigoronf-
ly fhut. The Governor was determined on not open.
ing it prematurity. lea the people flould be expofed
to fimilar calamities to thole they had already felt.
The accounts from Spain, received by the Lilbon
Mail, :are fo contradielory, that nn corral opinion
can be *formed from them rcfpeCling our fituation
with that country.
A letter from Cadiz, of the moth ult. &dm that
the account of the capture of the Spanills frigates bad
not reached that place till the t 3th ult. or Barcelona
belsre the s oth. It was firft received from England.
At both places they fill entertained the moll fan.
guine hopes of peace, and we have teen a letter to
the following effeEt :—" Notwithflanding this dif-
agreeable event, we (till incline to think that in the
prefent Rate of this country, Spain will not go to
war, unlefs fire is driven to it by force ; the ficknefs

On the follcwing day a Britith reel, freighted for
England, was permitted to fail from that port. We
can vouch for the truth of the latter fad, having feen
the letter of advice which announces herdeparture."
A letter of the 66th ult. from Cadiz, fays--" This
day an Englifh fquadron of fie fail of the line appear-
ed off our port, which eaufed very great fenfation.
In the evening they flood away to the eaftward. We
hope it is only the reinforcement that was expelled
for the Mediterranean fleet. Several Smith (hips

richly laden have arrived here yefterday and today ;
fome of them were (poke by the Dogmata. man of
war, but (offered to pars onmolefled. The Doom
will fail to-morrow or next day, and put herfelf un-
der proteition of any Britilb (hip of war that may be
cruising, as it is not thought prudent for the Englifh
(hips to remain here during the preknt critical Bate
of politics. _ _

gi The fcver, thank Goo, continues decrealing
every day, and there is Co little of it in the city, that
it is Paid oar communication with the country is to be

opened in a few days"

On the other hand, there are letters in town from
Spain of the 3oth November, which allert pofitively
that Mr. Fates had left Madrid, and add, that two
Swifts flips from Buenos Ayres had been captured
by foam of our cruizers, tbe crews of which had been
much difappointed on finding them lades with hideg,
not with dollars, as they ezpeBed. And a letter re-
ceived yeOerday from an Officer on board the Swi Fr-
wax, dated the 28th ult. pofitively Rates, that h•fli•
lities had aßually commenced on the part of Spain,
and that the Spaniards had made feveral valuable
captures ; and among the reit a London ibip, laden
with indigo.

There is a rumour in circulation, that the dif
patches received from Lord Nitwit announce that a
whole Spanint regiment going to Minorca has been
detained by fome of his Lordatip's cruizers, and car•
tied into Malta• Should this news prove corral, but
(mall hopes will remain of a war being avoided be-
tween the two countries.

The Purtugoefe warehouses hare been formally cal
led upon for their contributions. for difeharging the
debt doe to the French of fix millions of crufados,
which it was agreed lhould he paid for the neutrality.
Some difficulties are Likely to arife in colkaing the
contribution. u no regular mode bad been adopted
for affeffing it, eackindividual being kft to his own
liberality.

Yeflerday morning his MaICITY and the Prineeires
Sonia snd AMILIA tacit an airing on horfeback by
Cumberland Lodge.

Isis Mai tsry has fitted ep a very elegant library
at Cumberland Lodge, to which place his Majelly's
books from the Upper Lodge have been removed.
TheCuasicsta.oa of the Excisions. gave a grand
dinner yefterday evening at his hook in Downing-
beet ; at which were prefent Earl Cassnam, Vif
count MaLvit.r.a,his Excellency the Ruffian Ambaf-
fador, Mr. Novissutt, Minifter of Juftice at the
Court of St. Peterfburgh, Lord MULGIL••I, Mr.
W. DVIIDAII, Mr. 1111010 ND, and Mr. W. ELIOT.
We nnderftand that a new clafs of Officers, to be
called Sub-Lieutenants are to be appointed in the
Navy, to be felefted from Midfhipmen who have
ferved their time. They are to receive half-pay.
The troops under orders for embarkation at Pont-
mouth, are certainly to be commanded by the gallant
Sir JOHN Moose. It is generally believed that Ma-
deira is the &ft place of their deftinatiun.

Government have exchanged the Dutch Captain
Sty! VAN Tusiotic, late commandant of the Dutch
marine forces. captured at Surinam, for the Hon.
Captain Cot.vit.t., late of the Rorawsv—and as a
cartel for the exchange of prifoners has been p:ned
between the two Governments on the moll liberal
footing. the Britifh now in Holland will very coon
be ranted to their country and friends.

Tuefday laft a Court Martial was held nn board
Et SALVADOR DEL MUNDO, Vice Admiral YOUNG, in
Hamoaze, Plymouth, on Capt. Hum rim, the Offi-
cers, Warrant and Petty Officers, Ship's Company,
and Royal Marines, of his Majelly's late flip Vs-
, of 74uns, for the lots of the lied Ihip (J.
LIDDELL, Efq. Judge Advocate) ; when after a very
Ihort trial the Court unanimoutly, and very honour-
ably acquitted them all, except one man, who was
found guilty of droultennefs, difobedience of orders,
and plundering the officers baggage. He was ad-
judged to receive 200 lathes round the fleet, as an
example.
Snbflance of the anfwer of Baron Halo c,
the Pruflian Minifler, to the Note prefented by Mr.
Jacasos, to the Court of Berlin, on the tabled of
the feizure of Sir G. Rooms.° : That he took the
earlieft opportunity, io obedience to his Majelly's
commands, to eitprefs the aannilbment and regret
with which his Majefty had received the intelligence
of this attack upon the rights cf nations, in the per-
fon of a Mater accredited to a Circle of which he
was Direaor. In confequence, his Pruffian Majefty
did not hefitate for an infant to comply with the re-
quell of Mr. Jackson, and be had difpatehed a cou-
rier to Paris, to the French Government, by wham
he required the immediate liberation of Sir Grottos
mitosis. His Malay had reafon to expel a fa-
vourable and Letitfaitory relish from thole proceed-
ings." .

After a very boißerniispaffage of feventeen days.
Louis XVIII. arrived at Riga. Upor, his arrival
there, a Chamberlain from the Esircami of Rus-
SIA, Count de Sut.riaosr, pri.feuted him a knee
from ALI samosa 1. which induced his hlajelly not
to proceed further upon his journey. His Royal
Highnefs the Duke of A lIGGU LI Me went, however,

"Sat—Left any exaggerated account fhould reach
the public relative to the confequences of the late ma-
lignant fever at Gibraltar, I- think it may be the
means of fell-ening the apprehenGons that the friends
of the furviving Offictrs may be fuppofed to feel from
the recent calamity to tranfmit to you an accurate
lie ,for your information of thole officers who had
died previous to the sath November (as before the
publication of their names, their friends will have,
probably, received the official'inforrnation of their
deceafe). Thole who had been ill, when we failed
on the sub November, were foppofed to be in a (late
of convalefcence ; and it gives me real plealure to
add, that great hopes were entertained at that time,
that the fever would totally fubfide : two or three
only dying daily. Two-thirds of the inhabitants, it
was fuppofed, had fallen, to the number of 3000.—.

Opera of Thirty 1 Irossfand ; or, I#l.o's she Kit-bell, was
repeated for the third time. We have no farther
°Piety:Atkins to offer on the merits of this produCtiop :
all the tongs slmoil were encored, which rendered
the piece in itfclf languid. tedioufly long. When the
curtain fell, it was given out for repetition by ivcr r-
oom, amidll 3 confiderable clamour and oppPlition.
The novelty, however, of the evening, WAS the in.
troduaion to a London audience, of a Lady, whole
name we tindernand to be lislurcurt.t., in the cha-
rafter of Amantitie, in the Gniisl of Nature. She has a
very good figure, and a voice of compels
for the hook ; but we do not think that lb. was judi-
cious in telcCting fuch a part tor her debut. She gave
feveral features in the charafter with confiderable
effeCt, but her perfoimance WAS very unequal. Whe-
ther the was detetred by tear fr.tp exerting herfelf,
we know not. She was well received by an audience
which was not very numerous.

Tuefday morning, loon after eleven o'clock, a fine
(tag aas Ratted from the right of Afcot Heath
Race Cottrle, by order of the Earl of SA muwicif, for
the amufement of his Mat sm. At Rafting he ran
with great fwiftnefs to the right of the dog kennel,
making a double back by the wood fide, and through
the inclofures by Winktield Plain, taking his conrfe
towards St. Leonard's Hill, where he made a turn
back, croffing the plain, and went through the in-
eltafares by the race ground to Sunning Hill, where
he was taken, after a run of about two hours

The Rag ran very hard dui ing the whale hunt, rut
he could not be got far m home. There was a
very numerous field of fportimen.
