The rumor of an expedition being in agi.
tation, is ftrengthened by the Falling, in great
hate of 20 coppered tranfports from Plymouth
on Saturday, for the Downs.
No mails from the Continent arrived yefter-
day. We are therefore, without any further
information refpeding the recent movements
of the Ruflian forces. If the accounts received

PRINCE OF WALEs.-Several weeks fince,
we announced, that comfortable progrcfs had
been made towards efTeetinga perfect reconci-
liatlon between two exalted aud noble Perfon-
ages. We havenow thehappinefs to fate, that
the hopes we then exprefec are likely to be iuf-
tilted by the event, and that an interview will
very fhortly take place for that mott gratifying
purpofe. 1t was yefterday reported, that the
Prince had in the morning viG;ed his maielty at
Kew, but this rumour, we. know was untrue.
An interview, however, is certainly intended
which we have no doubt will lead to an event,
than which nothingis more likely to aIlay that
FEVER OF party which has 70 long weakened the
beft interefts of the country.
Some of our vefiels called at Algicrs on the 10th
where they were well received. The Dey not
only behaved with great civility to the officers,
but fent with them an envoy to England, with
overtures for fettling amicably the differences
which have exiaed between the two powers ever

the Rufhan troops in the Seven Hands amount
to S or 6ooo men. The Porte is really alarm
