An order was fent at half pail five o'clock yeller-
day by the Earl of HARRINGTON, commanding the
Royal Eall India Volunteers, to hold themfelves in
readinefs to march at a moment's notice.
Among the, exertions made for the defence of the
Northern Kingdom, we think it jullice due to the
dillriet of Galloway, to mention that four troops of
honk are embodied, by the proprietors and tenantry,
for the defence of the country in the prefent emer.
gency. Their rendezvous is in the vicinity of Ken-
more Cattle, the feat of the GORDON! the chief of
that name in the South of Scotland. Tie Hon. Jour
Goarror, of Kenmore, is their Colonel ; Sir A
rat Goarion, of Greenlaw, is Lieutenant Colonel;
and:his eldell fon Jamas GORDON, Efq. of Calvenan,
is Major; they are a fine body of men, and much
attached to their leader.

A letter from Pere, near Conftantinople, dated'
January ins:flys-1-x Greet preparations are making
for the reception of the Ruffian Fleet, which is ex-
pelled here in the enfuing Spring, from the Ruffian
harbours in the Black Sea. The Ruffian Ambaffia-
tior here has made large contralts with feveral Greek
and Armenian merchants. for the delivery of great
quantities of beef, pulfe aid vegetables, as alto a num-
ber of live oxen. It is expeCted that this fleet will
remain here about three weeks, and then proceed to
the Archipelago and Mediterranean. It is (aid that
the New Higb Admiral (the CAPITAN PAee• has
propofed the fitting out of the whole Turkifh Naval
force to co-operate with this fleet."

By Tome accounts refpefling the expedition from
the Cape of Good Hope, it would appear, that the
enemy are pretty confident of fuccefs, as molt of the
wives and children of the Officers embarked with the
troops. The general opinion there was, that they were
to rendezvous at Mauritius, and from thence, in con-
junflion with Limo' s, fail dir ell for Ceylon, which they
have no doubt mull fall, as the combined fleets will con•
lift of lit or feven fail (tithe line, as many frigates, and
about 3000 troops. That as the Cape is a very ex-
pcnfive lettlement to the Dutch, and Ceylon a boom
of profit, the former is to be the price paid to the
French for their, 'Mance in recovering Ceylon.—
Letters dated the ,sth January, mention that the
Governor Jaw is fo diffatisfied with the place and
the proceedings that are carrying on, that he hat
written home for his recal.
