LONDON. FRIDAY, AUGUST se. PRICE OF STOr`KS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK CouL 'notary 64: —fur Auguß 641—Orau.li pr.—Red. 63 Etch !Sills - par. se. pr. --t This morning, at half paa fix, the Right Hon. RUBBLY DUNDA9, accompanied lay Lord Hawass• BURY, left town, for Windfor, to 'attend "a miry Council to be holden by his MAJESTY, for the purpofe of appointing a commillior. to prorogue the prefent Seffion of Parliament.—The prorogation will take place this afternoon. At the time our Paper was put to prat, however, neither Lord Hawitessuav nor Mr. DUNDAS had returned to town. We this morning received Paris Papers to the 6th inaant. An army of 40,000 French troops is collecting on the frontiers of Portugal, for the avowed purpofe of _ _ compelling that Court to (hut out the Biitifb from their trade. This is what has been long expcaed. It is worthy of remark, that, in the fpeeches and additires made to his Majefly, on the occalion of his - - return to Paris, there are no rancorous or inveterate expreflions againft this country. The Paris Papers Rate that the late Cardinal York has bequeathed to the King of Sardinia jewels to the value of four millions of francs. The Cardinal has alto folemnly declared, as far ax a Pretender can declare, his Sardinian Malay to be heir to the Crown of England and Scotland, and bequeathed, the Royal ?HE EXPEDITION. • • It does not appear that Government have received any Official Accounts of the progrefs of the Ex pedition farce the al, when Admiral Gammas. was fleeting with a fair wind for the Great Belt. It is noneceffary, perhaps, to add, that the Great Belt is one of thofe paffages into the Baltic by which the Danilh Catlles are avoided. The Belt, however, is full of danger from another caufe i—the water is Outlaw, and fo thick fet with rocks, that no [hip ever ventures to pafs, unlefs under the guidance of a Danith Pilot, and in very favourable weather. It is, there ' fore, one difappointwent, that our Expedition has not been able to prccure any of thefe guides from the 1 Swedith Ports. The •following letter - brings the accounts of Ad miral GAI4IIIEIOS fleet, down to the 3d, being a day later than the official accounts of Government. BRIDLINGTON, AUGUST xs. Arrived the Traveller, Matcaan ; and the Jane. Barmy, from Memel. They fell in with the fleet of men of war, &c. on the ad inaant, fir leagues this fide the Schaw : they alto report that the Danes were entitely ignorant of their failing, and in no condition to oppofe them. titles accordingly. The Monitertr of the sth, contains a difcourfe of cnnfiderable length, pronounced by M. de Grolgth. Prelident of the free city of Dantzic, on occation of the inflallation of the Magiftracy and of the third order of Regency, which took place on the zta July. This difcourfe chiefly refers to the advantages which may be expected from the eftablithment of the inde pendence of that city, and contains many fulfome panegyrics on the Emperor Napoleon. The fame papers contain, under the head of War• law, 20th July, an account of the return of the feve ral divifions of the Ruffian troops into the interior of that Empire ; this article appears to have been writ. ten principally, with the view of defcribing the fingu• lar manners of the Kalmucks and Coffacks ; among thr+fe of the former is mentioned their averfion to heft meat : this they bang up without falting until it has acquired the degree of putridity, which they with for when they boil and eat it. The other contents of thefe Journals are of minor importance. A tranflation of loch articles as appear deft:► ving of notice is fubjoined. BAYONNE, JULY 24. In part of our irapreflion of yefterday, we thud that the Britills Teel* bad been fuddenly ordered away from Tonningen. The convoy from the Hum ber, under orders for Tonningen, has alto been coun termanded ; and yelierday intelligence was received, that the Commander of the Sparkler gun brig, lying in the Eyder, had given intlruttions to the following veffels, on the 7th inllant, to proceed immediately to Yarmouth : For London... The Jane, Dundas ; Tucker, Richardfon ; Mere curius,Thomfon ; and the Providence, Lawfon. For Yarmouth—The Sir Charles Hamilton, Cochrane. For Dublin—The Salerno, Dudgeon ; Stewart. For Hull—The Brothers, Coleman. For Leith—The Pomona, Dick; and Eliza, Edmunds. For Liverpool—The Sparkes, ; sod Rebecca, Dye. The Fame, Econet, with fcvvral other rads from Touningen, are arrived in Yarmouth Roads. Of thefe, the &ft three, for London, and the Sir Cha►les Hamilton, for Yarmouth, have their outward bound cargoes on board. It is fa ppofed that Tome very pofitive information, refpating the intentions of the French, mull have been received by the Conful, to induce him to order the immediate departure of there veffels. The vici nity of the enemy certainly jultifies the precaution, whatever inconvenience may refult from it to thofe concerned. Yefterday a Cabinet Council was held at two o'ck-ck, which was very fully attended. Immedi ately after it. riling, STEPHEN SHAIRP, Efq. of How. land-fircet, was ditpatched upon a fpecial miffion. to the Court of St. Peter (burgh ; and we believe he left town late lan, night. The objeft of Mr. SHAW.% million is kept a profound ferret, but it is whifpered that it is of a pacific complexion. Mr. SHAIRP, if we recolleCt right, filled a diplomatic fituation, with much honour to himfelf and advantage to the country, for feveral years, as Conful General at St. Peteriburgh. It is alfo reported that Mr. JACK sos was fent for the exprefs pirrpofe of accepting the mediation of Raffia, in the name of his MAJISTY. When notice is received from him refpeCting the necellary arrange ments, Lord Ft TZHARR IS, it is laid, will let off, with full powers, to forward the Negotiation in every isoffible and honourable way.

The difcovery was made by a Geniletnan, who being out to amnfe himfelf with a gun to (hoot fparrows, heard the piercing cries of a female as in share(,; he fol lowed up the found, and there Jaw the violence. The apprehenfion of the prifoner was the confegoenee, His demeanor before Sir John Pinhoru was highly contumacious, and he was fully committed to take his trial for the offence. On the evening of the 28th ult. the Well Mill of Balunie, near Dundee, occupied by David Anderfou and Co. for the purport of beating thread, yarn, &c. caught fire by a (park falling from a candle among the duft of the mill, which communicating with the thread and yarn therein, fet the whole in flames, and burned with fuch violence as to baffle the utmea exertions to Live it.

CARDINAL You—Henry Benedia•Marie.Clement, Cardinal York, was born on the 6th ot March, 1725, at Rome. The Regent, Duke of Orleans, had (by a threat to withdraw the penflon paid by France), to pleafe the cabinet of St. James, obliged the fir ft Preten• der, his father, to retitle in that city. After the iffite of the invation of Scotland in 1745, French policy again humbled the fallen Stuarts, and engaged this Prince, by brilliant perfuafinns, to enter the church. In 1747, he was by the Pope, Benedit XIV. nominated a Cardinal ; as filch, he paired his days in quiet and dignified retirement at his villa near Rome until t 79.9, when a French revolutionary bandiiti forced huff to renounce his comforts and property, if he would Pave his life. He arrived at Venice in the Winter, 1198. infirm as well as deititute ; but no limner was our beloved Monarch informed of his difirefsful lunation, than unre7upd,.his Majefty coodefcended to order his Minifter to the Republic, to offer the Car. dine!, with all poffible delicacy, a penlion of 4,0001. for his life. This amiable trait in the noble charac• ter of George 111. does equal honour to the King and to the man. Cardinal York was a ftudious and well infvmed Prince, and a fincerely . pious Prelate. His purfc was always open to buffering humanity, and 1 3: travellers particularly, whether ruined by mist:a - - tune or by imprudence, found in him, on all occa• lions a compatEonare benefador. lie poifeffe..! before 1798, a very valuable colleetion of curiufi• ties at his villa, where many fcarce traits and very interefting manufcrip:s concerning the un fortunate houfe of Stuart, were among the ornaments of his library. In his will, made in January, 1789, he had left the latter to his relation Count Stuarton : but they were all, in 1798, either phi nJered by the French and Italian Jacobins at R.'me, cr confif• cated by French Commiffaries for the libraries or mufeums at Paris. Cardinal York returned to Rome in 18ot, and died the Dean of the Sacred Cr.llesre ' after being °lee ot its molt virtuous and difinteretted members up. wards of fiat)! years. • DIED At Peeble3, Lieut.
