Exchequer Bills, 10s. to I Is. pretu. This morning a Gottenburgh Mail ;rived—the following is the only intelligence brought by this con veyance : STOoscuorm, M 4 GH 6.—Since the report made by PiajoeGefieral liobeln, on the 20th of last month, of an attack on Lumblige, by a detachment of our troops, no further intelligence from the army. While, however, the present season precludes the possibility of any military operation of moment, the preparation for the next campaign continues to be made with the utmost vigour, and there cannot re maul a doubt but that it will be opened by some,de cisive operation. On the first of this month our Court went into, mourning for eight days on account of the death of the late Duke Benedict Maria Maurice of Cheblais, uncle of his Majesty the present King of Sardinia. The Marquis Cornwallis, bound from Lisb on for London with fruit, has arrived at Plymouth. She sailed from Lisbon on the 18th ult. without convoy, at which time it was roported that the French were expected there, being only about fourteen days march from the place. The English troops were disembark ing the guns of the garrison, and shipping them on board transports.—There _were in the harbour the GANGES and CONQUEROR ) of 74. guns each, and three frigates. Mr. MANSEL, and another Gentleman, who were taken with the late unfortunate Captain WRIGHT, in the Vincego, landed yesterday morning at Dover, and have since arrived in London. They lately ef fected their escape from France, and got to Flushing, whence they got away in a small boat, on Monday night last. Thepleet there consists of eight sail of the line and two frigates, completely fit for sea, and other ships are expected down from Antwerp to be fitted out. It was the general opinion at Flushing, that a war with" Austria was unavoidable. By comparing the different accounts from Spain, received through the medium of the Dutch Papers, it appears, that after the capture of Saragossa, the next undertakings of the Frer ch were to be the siege of Valentia, and an attack upon Andalusia—King Jo- SEPII to conduct the latter in person.—The Duke of DALMAT/A proceeded to invade Portugal, while the Duke of ELCITINGEN remained• in Galicia, where the sale was already begun of the effects of the Monks, and those who had been declared traitors to their country. The Senator ROEDERER is gone to Spain. , A Dutch Paper contains the following, copied from a French Paper: _ " Constantinople, Jan. 23. " On the night of the 21st, a new revolution was apprehended. The SULTAN was fearful of being besieged in his Seraglio, and spent the whole / night surrounded by his Officers: happily, it was a false alarm; without the town, things have an unsettled ap pearance. NICOGLOU, who followed MU3TAPHA BAIRACTAR in a part of the Government of Rudschuk, has broken off all communication between Adrianople and the Danube. The Turkish Plenipotentiaries are sill at Widdin ; but the negocia (ions, with the Russian General Paosoliovrsity, appear to be at an end. It is even pretended that the General has refused GURUS Err r N DI the neces s ary passports in order to proceed to Jassy.— . During the Carnival, the Austrian Internuncio, Baron VoN STA/ KEA, gave a ball, at which all the English merchants at this place were present; but not a single Frenchman was to be seen there.'

As to our commerce, it is making a progress beyond expec tation. The duties Lyon goods exported to England last year amount to 760,0001 for wllich We receive in return British ma nufacture; and we have such an influx of wealth, that houses which were formerly rented at 201. per annum are risen to 1504 Many of the English merchants make from 4 to 12,00 a a-year. The Maltese are beginning to send ships to London, navigated entirely by natives. They have rmide some successful' voyages, which will encourage their spirit for commercial enterprize.
