BARISADOEI, Nov. 9.—On the 4th Instant his Ma.,
jesty's ships Bedford and Norge, with several troop-
skips, having on board 2,300, anchored in this Day.
They are bound piton a secret expedition, bet theie
cannot be a doubt of their destination. They go
from this island, as we suppose, to Jamaica, *bore
they will be joined by the troops that have beers
litoty letting its the Chesapeake, and probably by►'
some from England. In confirmation of our con-
jeotures, wo hear, by the Admiral's tender, t&t
Vice-Admirel Sir ALEX kNDLII COCHRAtiE, in An
Tonnant, of 84 gene, is now at BasLeterre, Goirda-
loope. lie has touched thole, on his way from the
coast of America to Jamaica, the troops having pro-
bably gone direct for the later islarul. This force,
there can be little doubt, is dotitied to act in the Flo-
fidas and Louiviatta during the winter. They will
prot,alily land at the month of the Mississippi. The
troops here consist of detachments of the 4th, 44th,
6'2d, and BbEt—the whole of the 93d, and the right
wing of the 95th, under th,l command of Majvr-
General Kurtz. The Ist West India Regiment,
and the whole of the Yolk Light Infantry Value'.
teen', are under orders for Jamaica. A plan had
heave agreed upon by some of the prisoners of war
on board the Vestal, at this anchorage, some time
last week, to rot out the schooner Engineer, for-
merly an American letter of marque, and lately pur-
chased for the use of the army ; but the plot having
been disclosed by one of the party, on the evening
that it ass to have been carried into effect, the whole
was detected, and the ringleader has been placed is
close confinement.

COIYHT•MAIITTAL.—On Monday morning, at eight
o'clock, the union jack was hoisted on board the
Gladiator, at Portsmouth, as a signal for a Court-
'Martial on the surviving officers and orew of hie Ma-
jesty's late sloop Dominica, for surrendering them-
selves to the American armed schooner Dc6atur;
but in consequence of the indispositiou of Sir JA,US
ATHOL Woon, Captain of the Pomper, it was post-
poned to the 3d. On Tuesday, at nine o'clock, the
.court assembled, when, after a minute investigation
of the cause and circumstances which led to the cap-
ture, the following judgment was delivered :
" That, in the opinion of the Court, the surviving
officer, 11r. J. T. Nicrtoct.s, and the crew of the said
sloop, had conducted themselves throughout with
courage and bravery, and they were most honour-
.hic acquitted." They were fully and honourably
acquitted accordingly.—The President, Rear-Ad-
miral Fours, delivered Mr. J. T. Nscuot.t.s his
Sword, with expressions of the highest respect and
approbation of his conduct.
Dt.Avit OF TOE MARQUIS OF LOTIIIAN.—The Most
Noble Wilms st.loirre KERR, Marquis and Earl of
Lothian. Earl of Ancram, K.T. &c. &c. died at his
;Kit at Farnham, on Wednesday eight, the 4th in-1
stant. 11is Lordship was born in 1737, and was con-
sequctitiv about 78 years of age. He is 'succeeded
ly Lis eldoq von, WILLIAM, FArl of Ancram.—Thel
late Marquis was one of the oldest Generals in the
army, and by his decease the Crolottelcy of the 11th
tl:ajoot:s, as well as a green ribbon, becomes vacant.
ilo was, in former times,• a great favourite with kis
Nir.lesty, and might be called his personal friend, be-
t's nearly of the same age: but differing from the
Minister on the first Regency question, hie Lordship
Veen after retired from Court life to the quiet of the
Hete, as a private character, he was mach
..t..oyed for his constant benevolence and innumerable
ities.—" I believe" (says a person who has long
resi/nvi.in ids vicinity), " no one ever applied to hi,,, .
q 1,;." We-can add nothing to this enconsiutn,
I ;t that his Lordship's means were far from being
popoitioned to the goodness of his heart.
