PUBLIC VENDUES. [heading]
[Transcriber's note: no new additions or modifications to old Vendues.]

The Honble. Court of Policy will meet on Monday the 23d Instant.

On Monday morning the first Mail for December arrived from Barbados, by which we have received London Papers to the 5th December inclusive; - their contents are various but not of that satisfactory description which we should wish to lay before our readers: - it will be seen by our extracts that the Austrians have been making movements as if with intention to co-operate with the Russians, who it appears fell back upon their main body, upon learning the advance of the French. A very considerable part of French Army is advancing into Poland.

The Ship Demerary, Capt. Inglis, arrived in this River yesterday from Liverpool, which she left on the 5th ult. - We are under particular obligations to a Gentleman who has kindly favour'd us with Liverpool Papers to the 3d of January, which contain London News to the 1st: - no material events had occurred at that period, by which any change for the better could be much hoped for; - we however have made extracts of those articles most worthy of attention.

By a Brig which arrived from Halifax on Wednesday last, Capt. Murray, formerly Commander of the Lord Lavington Mail-Boat, came Passenger, - he reports their having been boarded by the Jason Frigate, Captain Cochrane, who informed them of their having Captured and sent into Barbados the Favorite Sloop of War.
