The length of The Extraordinary Gazette prevents
us from saying much on the subject of its gratifying
contests. We have only, therefore, while we congra-
tulate cur Readers upon the acquisition of this im'
pox taut Settlement, to express out regret that the nutil+
ber of the killed and wounded on our side has been
so great.—We trust, however, that the greater parr,
if not the whole, of the latter will be restored to their
friends and their country.

The Pnixce REGENT, we are happy to hear, watt
yesterday considerably recovered of some severe pains
in his arms, which he had felt during the two prece-'
ding days.
Yesterday the Earl of LIVERPOOL and Mr. RYDRA'
had audiences of and transacted business with the
Pewee REGENT.
'DATCIIET BRlnce..—Yesterday was the day appoin-'
ted for the opening of Latchet-bridge, for carriages,
passengers, &c. At half past twelve o'clock her
MAJESTY in her carriage and four, and accompanied
by the Princesses ELIZABETH* and MARY, arrived at
the Bridge from Windsor, where the band of the!
Stafford militia played GOD save the King, and pre-,
ceded the Royal carriage in slow time through the
village of Datchet. Many cat riagesp horsemen, and
pedestrians, were in waiting for the QUEEN to pass
over, and followed the Royal carriage in grand
,Ca-
valcade. Great rejoicings took place in Datchet du-
ring the day, a it is the nearest road to Windsor by
two m,l s ..The QUEEN and Parxcesses.reeurned to

Batavia, now in our possession, was the capital of
the Dutch oriental possessions, and the residence
cif the Governor General.. In the year 1619, ; Ores
a mere village, in a Rat and marshy country,4lefend-
-ed -only by palisadoes of bamboo canes. '!'ht vetch
built a new town, and cut canals, and made drainsile
carry off the water. The town has gradually increased!
to a great extent, and its population has been etimated
at 60,600 souls, of whom nearly 20,000 are EDITh.
peans, or of European descent. The town is not re-
ntal kabie far its elegance. It has a castle which
commands the landing-place. The harbour is both
sp scions and secure, and is capable of holding-a
thousand vessels safe from the violence of the sea.—;
It is protected by a number of small islands, some of
them fortified. The approaches to the town are also
defended by small forts and redoubts. The air,
from the marshes and stagnant waters, is almost pre-
verhially unhealthy ; the country fir many miles
round is entirely level. For vegetation, the soil is
most excellent : rice, and Indian corn, are abundant:;
and the sugar cane is cultivated with little trouble,
and is esteemed superior to that of the West Indies.
We yesterday saw letters from Bourdeaux, to the
Ist of this month, which state, that the reinforce.
• ments sent to Spain within the last month amounted
to between 5 and 6000 men. The inhabitants of the
town had been informed by the Mayor, that early in
November a body of troops, exceeding 30,600 men,
would enter that place, but they had not arrived up
to the date of these advices, nor indeed do they seem
now to be expected.

The following were received by the Anholt Mail :
WINGO-SOUND, NOV. 23.
The convoy sailed from Hano on the:9th. The
Woodlark had returned to Matwyk on the 16th,
having left Rear-Admiral Reynolds, with all the
convoy at anchor, four leagues east rom Fermeren,
• on the 14th."

" NOVEMBER 25.
" By accounts, dated the 19th, from Matwyk,
about '2O of the convoy, which sailed from thence on
' the 9th, had returned there without anchors or cables;
having been obliged to cut in trenienduous weather,''
. on the morning of the 16th, between Fermeren and
, ..Laaland. In the Belt, eight or ten vessels driven on
ahem were dismasted and totally lost: some, it is
said,lave foundered. The St. George was left riding
' with three tlcticirs down, and all her masts cut away.
it is remarkable, that on the 16th Admiral Dixon
• sailod (Toni hence with a light "breeze at E.N.E. ;
and they had this dreadful gale at the same the in
the Belt, from W.S;W., to W."
" NOVEMBER S.

." By the Beßette, which is just arrived from the
Zak; we learn; that. die St. George, and 76 sail of
she convoy, were safe off the'.norhward of Lange-
14nd: .1 sat sorry to add, that 142 sail of the convoy

two were known to have foundered, having run foul
oil tad* other: .several were disma%ted ; and the sea

slakang.a fair breach over them, it is feared they are

4g The St.Genrge's unfortunate convoy had arrived
. at Maawyk on the 21st, (22 ad)) : their deplorable
want of authors and cables will prevent them from
. roc...acting to England this year : those who pet into
Carkhain are put under embargo. All the assist-
ance that can be tendered to those unfortunate ships,
• be given them by Captain Dashweod. of the.Py-
• mums, and the ships and vemels with him at Mat-
, ivyic. It has been bicrwing hard here., which mates
