In this order the proceffion moved on from Chelsea college to the gate of St. James's Park, adjoining the queen's houte, and proceeded up Conftitution Hill, along Piccadilly and St. James'street, to the palace, where his excel lency arrived, at half paft twelve, and alighting at the palace-gate, was received by Hugh Boscawen, efq. the knight marshall (having his baton of office in hand), and the marshal of thediately delivered it to lord Grenville; ceremonies. The foot-guards on duty were drawn up in the court yard, and their officere laluted the ambaffador as he paffed on to the little council chamber, where notice being given by one of his majesty's gentlemen ufhers that his majefty was ready, the proceffion moved forward to the audience in the great council chamber (where on each fide, were ranged the band of gentlemen pensioners) the gentlemen of the privy cham ber going before the conducting earl, and the principal perfons of the ambasfador's fuite before his excellency, the conducting ear! being on the ambaffador's right hand, and the mafier of the ceremonies on his left. His excellency was received at the door of the guard chamber in the abfence of the earl of Aylesford, captain of the yeomen of the guard, by James Roberts, efq. lieutenant yeoman of the guard, who conducted the ambaffador to the door of the privy chamber, where his excellency was received by vifcount Falmouth, captain of the band of gentlemen penfioners, who conducted his excellency to the door of the great council chamber.

From the report of captain Barwis, of the Daphne cutter, arrived at Weymouth from Jerfey, we learn, that the French fleet have put into L'Orient, having fuffered confiderable damage, feveral of the fhips being difmafted. The 7th regiment, under the command of his royal highnefs prince Edward, with the remainder of the troops from Canada and Nova Scotia, are arrived at Martinique. 1 3.

In the house of lords, the royal affent was given by commiffion to the Habeas Corpus fufpenfion bill. The commiffioners were the archbishop of Canterbury, the lord Chancellor, and lord Hawkesbury. An experiment with the telegraph, under the direct on of a Saxon gentleman, who had frequently witnessed its effects in France and the Netherlands, was tried at the Half-Moon battery at Whitby. It fully answered the expectations of the gentlemen prefent; as it was clearly proved, that, were proper ftations appointed, intelligence might be conveyed from thence to London within half an hour. 7. A committee of the wholefale and retail dealers had an interview with Mr. Pitt, at his houfe in Downing-freet, on account of the variety of base cain now in circulation, as halfpence and farthings; and the result is said to be a refolution to put an immediate stop thereto. The brewers and diftillers begin, by refufing to take them in payment from the publicans. Edinburgh, Feb. 7. The herring fifhery continues in the Frith of Forth as brifk as ever.

The first convoy of the troops coming from Gibraltar put in at Barbadoes, and landed at Martinique on the 23d and 26th of laft December. The general expects the remainder every day. Fortunately, admiral Nielly has not as yet made his appearance. Were he to arrive, it is likely the English might lofe their conquefts at prefent: any enterprize would prove ufelefs. If he has not proceeded to St. Domingo, he has probably gone to the Cape of Good Hope. He had been preceded by a fquadron that ruined and deftroyed, all along the coaft of Africa, the English factories. turbances they daily witnessed, that they wrote to the governor of Surinam, to fend for them, and that they would join the troops they defired him to difpatch to effect the reduction of the colouy; the only condition they made was, not to be fent back to France. It is faid the governor anfwered, he had no order to meddle in their concerns. This circumftance defolates a colony that would be glad to furrender to the first comer. At Barbadoes and here, are emigrants from Cayenne. Some others have fled to Surinam; others to North America. The decree that grants liberty to the negroes was published there in June laft. All wished to take the benefit of it, and the whites were compelled to fly, or furrender to their mercy. Letters from that colony, dated September laft, are confolatory enough.-The negroes were come back to their mafters, with terms though fevere, yet, according to circumftances, pretty tolerable. There remain out of the whole regiment of Cayenne only 400 men, almoft all Germans, but not a fingle officer. Thefe were fo difgufted with the dif Jan. 14. Capt.
