a series of &tides, to skew that this country ism
right to interfere—that our Ministers owe it to this
country and to ttre world not on!y to interfere with
these affairs, but, if necessary,, to compel every Si-
cilian traitor to submit to our dictation, or to ba-
nish them from the island. In another part of our
Paper, our Readers will find our first Number on
this important business, and the rest will be conti-
nued with as little intermission as possible.

The Fox frigate has arrived at Portsmouth from
the East-Indies, where she has been these 15 years.
By her we learn, that the Expedition for Batavia had
sailed a few days before the Fox came away. The Fox
left Bengal the Bth May. She has brought a re-
port of the total loss of his Majesty's frigate DovER,
Captain TUCKER, in Madras Roads, in a violent
gale. Some few of the Officers were on shore, but
all on board perished. The City of London, and
I Echo whaler, came under convoy of the Fox ; they
proceeded for the River. The Fox frigate has brought
home half a million of specie, and brings in account
of the capture of two out of the three French frigates
which appeared off the Isle of France a short time since.
—Those taken are the RENOMMEE and NEREIDE, and
were captured by his Majesty's ships GALATEA,
PIICERE, ASTREA, and RACEHORSE. The other, the
CLORIND, escaped, and it is supposed made for a
French port. The capture took place off Madagascar.

Yesterday the Diana packet arrived at Harwich,
with two Mails, from which we have given some ex-
tracts in another column. The passengers by this
packet say, that the expectation of a war between
Russia and France is very general in the North. This
has been long affirmed, and it cannot be doubted that
both of these powers are dissatisfied with each other ;
but we are persuaded that a state of actual hostility
between them is still remote.

Ina battle. which took place between the Turks
and Russians, on the 12th ult. the former are stated
to have been victorious.

THE KING.

" WINDSOR CASTLE, SEPTEMBER 29.
11 His MAJESTY continues in the sante state."

46 WINDSOR-CASTLE, SEPTENIBZR 30.
6C The KING continues in the same state.

The Archbishop of CANTERBURY, and Lords Avtrs-
FORD and WINcHELSEA, arrived on Saturday atWind-
sor, where they had a consultation with his Majesty's
Physicians for upwards of an hour, and afterwards
waited on the QUEEN in the Castle, with whom they
held a Council.

Lord CHARLES SPENCER came into waiting yester-
day, at St. James's Palace, as a Lord of the KING'S
Bed-chamber, for the week ensuing. Sir GEORGE
OSBORNE continues the Groom.
Yesterday, about one o'clock, the PRINCE REGENT,
accompanied by the Duke of CUMBERLAND, left town
for Windsor.
Yesterday being the Queen of WIRTEMBERG'S birth-
day, the PRINCE REGENT, the Dukes of CLARENCE and
CUMBERLAND, arrived a little before three o'clock, to
dine with the QUEEN.

His Royal Highness the Duke of SUSSEX has had
another relapse.
The scarlet fever has lately razed among the men in
the Royal Family's stables at Windsor, which is the
cause of the PRINCESSES not riding out on horseback
lately.
COVENT-GA ant:v.—The tragedy of Izabella was per-
formed on Saturday, in the very first style of excel-
lence. Mrs. SIDIX3NR, as Isabella, electrified the au-
dience by the most animalea display of her truly great
and transcendent abilities ; KEMRLE was never
more successtul in his representation of Biron. The
applause was universal and unbounded. The House
was crowded.
LYCEUM.—Sattirday, the Comedy of The Confede-
racy, and the Farce of The Weathercock, were per-
formed. The only novelty in the representation was
in the part of Gripe, which was sustained, for the first
time, by Mr. KNIGHT. His performance of the ava-
ricious, amorous old citizen, was well conceived, and I,
as happily executed.
By the last Annual Report of the Daily and Sun-
day Schools in the town of Douglas, Isle of Man, on
Mr. LANCASTER'S plan, it appears that this institution
promises fully to answer the views of its benevolent
founders. The Day School consists of 140 boys and
55 girls, and the Managers, besides defraying the
current expences, have been enabled, by the liberal
support of the patrons, to appropriate £2OO towards
the erection of a building to belong for ever to the.
Charity nor can there be a doubt that the liberality
of the friends of the Institution will soon contribute
what farther sum may be necessary.
The TONNANT, which has arrived at Plymouth
from off Brest, chaced on Wednesday last, A French
frigate for eight hours, and would eventually have
come up with her, had it not been for a misfortune
she met with in carrying away her main-top mast.
This enabled the enemy to effect her escape into
Brest. When she found the TONNANT was disabled,
she gave her three cheers. The above frigate is sup-
posed to be one of the three on their return from the
Isle of France.
A shocking 'catastrophe lately took place in Por.
tugal. Owing to some misunderstanding about a
billet, two British Officers, a Lieutenant-Colonel and
Captain, took upon themselves to throw the baggage
of a Portuguese Officer out of the window ; and on
the latter's remonstrating, the Colonel ;pit in his face.
The Portuguese drew his sword, and with one or
two blows on the head dispatched the Colonel.—The
Captain had in the mean time armed himself to as-
sist his friends but the Portuguese officer was too alert
for him, and with one thrust laid him dead at his
feet. An English picket was called in, to which he
refused to surrenders but immediately did to sue of
own country.
