Di d of Angouleme set out for the South will , wor se of Thursday night, at a Jew hunts lam, The object of his jnurney is to receive a ""i s ib army of 50,000 men, arrived on the frontier, ▪ istended •to facilitate the txecution of various i• ns at present in c.intemplation. Fresh troops, m o t i on to those mentioned in arty last, are oil M • march for Lyons ; the disturbances existing its it T vat ter have been ficcesioned by the arbitrary T o ps taken levy troops; for, notwithstanding the d olisfuneat of the conscription, the conscripts of 1 814, wise had not joined their corps, have been 0 8 0 1 into service in several Deparments. In the s kim of these hostile preparations, the Papers have Togsm -4 . orders to contradict the warlike reports in ciss lition t elaborate articles .on the subject will f ly appear in 011 of them. The Regent's speech, s i t ed yesterday morning, has made a great sensa tipiehe vague terms is which the continuance of F os is alluded to, tending to confirm the general. 001 An of approaching war. There is a report that Pozzo di Borgho lately / moved an autograph letter from the Emperor of b a sia, which he was instructed to communicate to j Ling. The Emperor observes therein, that his m a jesty has created Overt) , and discontent among bl a subjects, by tolerating the introduction of British mot handize. He recommends the adoption of the m mrequitable and independent system established in ' O mer States, and offers his protection for that pur ple. He expresses the fear that France, cramped her resources, may be unable to Lelia her engage, m ots, a circumstance which must be attended with m anifold inconvenience. Whether it be in- consc egoence of this letter or not, several seizures of British merchandize have within these few days taken ?lice in the c..pital. The French Papers state, that Fondle is gone from Dresden to Prague. The fact is, that he is on his way to Vienna, and that too by invitation.— Marian politics give much uneasiness here. Fat-d -efier umbrage is taken at the distinction with wnich the offspring of Napoleon is treated, both by Monarch sad people. The Empero: is pouring trolls into Italy; the Government of Turin is arming for the French, or rather Bourbon interest. These general smainents rouse even the Turkish lethargy; very considerable levies are making by the Ottoman Campanile." THE EtrtiAINCI sTlit . I LONDON. WEDNESDAY, JULY 10, 1816.

In other Words; no more British cloths an be sent to Spain for that Trade, as the old law allowed only one-third (paying the regular home duties) to be shipped, and r.quired the other two thirds to be Spanish manufacture ; but the . revolu tionary suspended entirely the operations of the Spa nish looms—Spanish cloths for the two-thirds cannot by procured, consequently the other third cAtuot be shipped, and the colonists must go without either the tile or the other.

In another part of our Paper will be found some interesting particulars of the approach of a large array of the Ashantees, a nation of the interior of Africa, toward our s4tlement at Cape Coast Castle. This event, from %%Lich, when the first accounts ar- f;ied, time serious apprehensions were entertained, I seems rather likely to lead to results of a favourable nature. The Ashantecs are a powerful Nation, and some years ugo visited tie Coast wish an army of up wards of 100000 men ; but have for several , years been prevented from trading with Europeans by the hostility of the tra 4 ntees, and other nations re siding in the neighbourhood. Their present expedi lion, therefore, by opening the path into the interior, may not improbably be attended with very important commercial advantages, great quantities of gold and holy being protiumd in the AbitAntee country.

We are happy to state that it was some time ago announced to the Establishment of the Princess CL~ANLO:TU of WALES, that her Royal Highness espects they will wear in future only British manu factures.. An order was at the saw.* time sent to her dress.maLers, Scc. not to introduce any thing foreign into articles prepared for the wear of het Royill ilighntss, on pain of incurring her displeasure and hetng no longer employed. Yesterday Dr. Batc.Lte attended the Princess Citaitt.o . rTE, and we have the pleasure to say, pro. nounced her Royal Bigness much better, but .desired aer tse. fiept.perfectly quiet. ?-Her Royal Highness, in consequence, did not leave her room. We are happy to say the Duke of GLOUCESTER has recovered from his indisposition, and rode out yester. day at three o'clock on horseback.

His Grace 4rtived at Cheltenham about half-past rix on Sunday evening, accompanied by Lord F. SOMERSET. Their approach was most unexpected, his Grace having a strong desire to enter the town as privately as pus. sible ; but he was iastanily recognized, and welcomed I by siiouis of—" WELLINGTON for ever l"—from kun divas of specta7ors.

ELECTION.—The Barmier of Wootton Bassett, in Wiltshire, has for twelve days been divided by the severest Parliamentary contest ever reinembereel there, between Ilon.sce I'wtss, Esq. and WILLIAM TAYLOR MONEY. g sq. The poll lasted three days, and at the conclusion the MAYOII declared the votes to be— For Mr. Money 115 For Mr. Twists 113 •So that Mr. MONEY is elected by a majority of five. Mr. Twtss has declared his intention to petition against the return, on the ground of wilful misconduct in the retbrnitig officer. The duties of Manager and Stage Maaager of Drury-lane Theatre, are in future to be performed solely by Mr. RAE. A oetaine.—.;:l'his interesting Tragedy, like Ber tram, presents 4s with an honourable effusion of Hi bernian talents, being the production of Mr. SLIM, a young Barrister of much promise; who, with grate ful gallantry, has dedicated his labours to his lovely codutry-wornan Miss O'Neal.. who, it will be recol lected, surpassed her former greatness in pourtraying the character of the heroine. At Lady JERSEY'S late entertainment, a man in a good evening dress 'and of a tolerable appearance,. cadre to the door, out of a hackney-coach, and having announted himself to the servant as Captain Kelly, was permitted to go up stairs, with the usual repeti tions of his supposed name. On approaching the door of tie ttall.room, he stopped, 4,n a pretence that his shoe.buckle was loose ; and, affecting to find great difficulty in laittning it, he desired to be shewn into some separate apartment. This was done by the servants; he was shewn into a dressing-room, and was descending from that to leave the house, when the servants suspected him, know ing that he bad not been in the principal apartments. He was searched, and a silver inkstand of her Ladyship's being found upon him, he was taken to the watch-house by Lavender. At the Countess Of SHAFT/SWIM'S Ball a HMI fashionably dressed sent up his name as General Gore or Gower, and actually entered the ballroom. In such a company no person with the rank of General, could long remain without being known to some one. It was observed, that he did not present himself to the Lady of the Mansion, nor speak to any person. The suspicions of the company soon became app.'. rent to him, and he left the ball-room, but not the Meuse. Search being made for him, lie was found concealed in one of the apartments under a sopba. We have not heard that the Police Officers knew him, but he acknowledged himself to be an impostor.. As he had taken nothing, lie was diuniated. . . NAP.IL INTELLIGENCE. VAILS • ARR.

Lord Ex MOUTH a.tends daily at the .Admiralty to confer with the Board upon the subject of the Expedition. Tire Earl of LIVERP3OL was also there yesterday. A private letter relates the loilowing anecdote On Lord EfiNloUTll's return from the Palace of the De) , of Algiers, when he had concluded the Treaty which stipulated the emancipation of the Christian slaves and the abolition of the system, and had neaily reached the beach on his return on board ship, the Turkish Janissary guard, among whom his way lay, incensed at the prospect of not being permitted to in dulge any further in their accustomed and inhuman atrocities, conferred with each other whether they should not take summary vengeance on-our gallant chief one party of them decided on his being imme diately scimitated; another, more moderate, sugges ted that such conduct would bring down the just vengeance of. entire Europe on their devoted heads. Lord Lolool'll was, however, happily able to take leave of this sanguinary council with Lis head in ,its sight plot ( 'The only Banking-house in this County connected with that of llama, &MAIN, and Co. is that of Sir WILLI&M BisiloP and Co. at Maidstone, called the County Bank, who wete on IVeditesday obliged to suspend their payments for the present.
