. .

A number of Officers of distinction, Geteral Hula
General Lent, the Marquis of TwaanaLa, Sir STA..
PrtroN CorioN, and others; have arrived in Town
from Pnrtugal. Such is the state of security in which
Lord WaLINGTON appears to consider that country;
that he has given leave of absence to a number of his
Officers. No apprehension seems to be entertained of
the early approach of the enemy ; and therefore they
think the reinforcements now in the Channel will have
ample time to join the army near Lisbon.
As will be seen by our port letter, the fleets from
Portsmouth with Baron ALTSN'S and Colonel HA L-
KE.T'S Regiments of the German Legion, and recruits
'for the different Regiments of Lord WELLINGTON'S
army, had not sailed, though the wind was fair yes-
terday. It is expected that they will sail this day or
to-morrow, under the convoy of Captain PrPox, it'
the wind continues favourable.

In addition to the corps already mentioned in the
STAR as likely to be sent to reinforce Lord WELLING-
TON, it is again reported that the Hussar Brigade,
with perhaps a Brigade of heavy Cavalry, will be
sent out very soon.

The rumour of an insurrection among the seamen
in Norway, in consequence of the design of sending
them to man the fleets of France, is, we fear, un-
founded. The latest accounts from the Baltic were
brought by the Hero cotter, Lieutenant REYNOLDS,
who arrived in the Humber last week. The substance
of the intelligence communicated by this Officer is
thus stated in the Hull paper of Saturday Lieu-
tenant REYNOLDS left Sweden about twelve days ago,
at which time it was reported that a messenger had
been sent to St. Petersburgh, to demand the reannex-
ation of the province of Finland to Sweden; and in
case this was refused, hostilities were expected imme-
diately to commence. War with Denmark was also
talked of ; the latter Power having confiscated seve-
ral Swedish vessels. Lieutenant REYNOLDS states,
that the reports of an insurrection among the Norwe-
gian sailors have been much exaggerated. Some dis-
turbances, indeed, had taken place at Christiaasand;
but so far were the soldiers from joining with the
sailors, they compelled them to embark on board the
transports prepared for them, about forty in number,
being the same vessels that were captured in July last,
en their homeward-bound voyage to this country,
under convoy of the Forward gun-brig. These ves-
sels, with 4000 seamen on board, under convoy of
three Danish gun-boats, sailed from Christiansand on
the 6th ult. and landed at Flastrand, in Jutland,
whence the sailors were to be marched to man the
French fleet in the Scheldt. A Danish line-of-battle
('ship, named the Ulysses, was Launched on the 15th
December, and was fitting out for sea with all possi-
Ible dispatch."

Yesterday a Court of Aldermen was held at Guild-
hall, at which the Lord Mayor presided; there being
present fourteen Aldermen and the City Officers.—
The Court inspected the mealweighers' reports, and
ordered the price of bread to be continued at Is. 2.id.
the quartern boat of wheaten, and Is. 14d. household..
The Court heard a petition against the retyrn of Com-
mon Councilmen for Vintry Ward, the farther censi
deration of which was adjourned. A quantity of gold
was sworn to as fbreign, previous to exportation.
SWAN STEALINC.—The latter end of last we, k two
old Swans, and four of last spring, were stokntr‘m
the Serpentine River. Information of the re:lshery
being given, that active officer LiMerick, of 13w/-
street, apprehended a man with a bag containing two
skins of swans. He acknowledged lie had four gale
skins at his lodgings, stating.he !lad boi.wit the ,Aule
of them at Leadenhall Market. They were skinned
like a rabbit, but not in such a complete summer as
if done by a poulterer. The skins are valved from
four guineas to five, for making muffs. He under-
went an examination on Monday night last, and is
remanded for next Monday. These swans belong. to
the ad-Gardener of Kensington Gardens, who it
appeiri' has. not the smallest doubt that the skins
were his property.
Extract of a .1-,er from a gentleman at Dema.l
rara Shortly after my landing here (the lattct
end of Oitober), there arrived, after a journey of six
weeks, an Indian Prince, with his Lady, and a train
of attendants. He came to make a demand on this
C.ltmy for a debt, which he says the Colortowed his
great-grandfather s at the same time threEening, if
it was-not paid, that he would in the course of six
weeks, bring an'army of 30,000 Indians, and murder
all the could lay their hands:on. This personage,
his and all the retinue, were naked, and smeared
with yed paint over their facespand bodies. Our Go-
vernor made them considerable presents of axes,beads,
knives, nun powder, and musquets ; and I believe
friendship is restored; but the matter was kept some-
what secret. It is said they are to have presents to a
certain amount annually."
At the Norwich Cattle-market, on Saturday, there was a good
supply of fat Beef, which may be considered somewhat cheaper,
and fat Mutton also, in sufficient quantity for the butchers, Bid:
per lb. There was a good shew of Hog Sheep, from X2B to. 30
per score. Store Pigs were numerous, with a very dull sale. Fat
Hogs seam, bat not sought after. There was a good show of
lean Sects, bill scarcely any sold—At the Cons-market, same day,
there was a wry large supply of grain, and Wheat was a little
lower, selling at from 49s to 445. per tournb. Barley, however,
maintained the preceding week's prices; namely 165. to 17s. Oats
14s. to 151.6 d.; and Beans 20* to 21s. per connib.
COON EXCHANOZ, MARK-LANE, FEB. 6.—To-day
there are but few further arrivals of Wheat, and not
much remail.ing—sales themeof frilly maintain last
prices—Rye somewhat dearer—,Barley, with Malt,
