TUESDAY, MAY 31.
WIIITSVN-TCHDAY--lioliday at the Bank and Stock Ezchange.

We announced yeaerday the arreft of the Britith
fubjeCts in France and even in Holland, where the
imbecility of that wretched Government has been
infulted in being compelled to take a ftep foreign to
its willies and its intereft. Mr. LISTON, our Minifter
at the Hague, is not however among the number of
thole that have been adtually imprifoned. The ar-
reas were at the inftance of the French Gen. Vicros.
—The packets flopped at Helvoetfluys, are the East.
OF LSICISTAI, Captain THOMPSON ; the KING
Geoaos, Capt. DEANE ; and the Pato cass ROYAL;
Captain SAWYER. The Captains and men were fent
to the Brill prifon. The Dutch fchoot which brought
over Mr. WAGSTAFF, the Meffenger, brought Mr.
Rua ELL, a Foreign Mellinger alfo, to take back the
anfwer ; but this we believe Minifters difpatched on
Sunday night by Mr. BAssruco. Many perfons re-
gret that hoftilities are not begun againft Spain as
well as Holland, as France will certainly drive her
into the war the moment it is convenient ; her neutra
lity, at the prefent moment, is fuppofed to be allow-
ed by the CHIEF CONSUL, for no other purpofe than
that the may bring home her galleons.

Yellerday morning hit Ma'am', attended by Ge-
neral Garrit and Major Dssitow, took an airing
on horfeback on the other fide of Salt-hill, where they
met the third divifion of the Staffordthire Militia on
their march from High Wycombe; his MAJESTY
placed himfelf at the head of the men, and preceded
them to Windfor Barracks. The regiment is
an exceedingly fine one, and was followed to the
Barracks by a great concourfe of perfons, the Band
playing the whole of the way. His Maj save after-
wards took his ufual ride in the Great Park.
His Royal Highnefs Prince Ww. of GLOUCESTER
is expeaed to arrive in England in the courfe of a
few days.
His Royal Highnefs the Duke of Kiwi., on hit
way to England, touched at Lifbon, where he re-
mained five days with his brother the Duke of Sussex.
On his arrival at Falmouth he received a very hand.
Tome and loyal addrefs from the Mayor and Corpora-
tion. As the Palace at Kenfington is not in order to
receive his Royal Highnefs the Duke of }tsar, he
will pats the time he may remain in England at
Cagle hill. Lieut.-Governor Sir THOMAS TRIGOP,
arrived at Gibraltar fix days before the Duke left it,
and sons much (truck with the high ftate of dircipline
and regularity in which he found the Garrifon.—
Prior to his Royal Highnefs's embarking for Eng-
land, each Regiment was reviewed, under his di.
reftions, by Sir THOMAS TRIGGE, who exprefied his
utmoft fatisfaetion at their appearance and manoeuvres.
Mr. &rya ar, Secretary of Legation at Vienna,
who left Town on Sunday, was to embark yeaerday
at Sheernefs on board the Met.rostsis, Capt. Ott.
Vblt. to be conveyed to Hamburgh.

cutters for his Majelly's fervice ; and yefterday as

time.

Admiral Coanwat Lis will !milt his flag on board
tile Vey ERABLI, in the courfe of a day or two. Cap-
tain REYNOLDS was yellerday appointed to the VE•
NERARLF, of 74 guns; be is to be Admiral CORN.
WALLIS'S Captain.
A promotion of Admirals is firmly eye/fed, in-
cluding Captain STIRLING, in confequence of which
the three Colonels of Marines become vacant, which,
we underhand, are to be filled by Captain Louis, Sir
RICHARD STRACH•II, and Sir S. SMITH.
It will be feen by our nautical intelligence, that
the HAZARD Hoop of war, fo far from being taken as
reported in a Portfmouth letter, has arrived Cafe at
Plymouth, with an account of the Channel feet hav-
ing.captured a Frcnch frigate from the Well Incl;es.
This frigate, it is laid, formed part of the St. Do-
mingn fleet, and, therefore, there is fome ground for
hoping, that the remainder of that &et may !hare a
ftnilar fate.
