Ina as this Paper was going to profs, we received Paris Journals to the loth inn. inclufive, and Dutch papers to the t sth inclufive. The Moniteur confirms the account brought by the laft Mail, of an attack made by feven boats from Lord Ns 2sori's fleet in the night time, on Tome French and Ligurian !hips tying in the bay of Lavandon. They were 12 in all, five of which were burnt and one captured. The French fay they found twenty Englifil on hoard the burnt thips, that they killed 36 and funk one of the boats. The French, as ufual, loft not a fingle man! ! The Mositnie mentions the late attack on Havre, and flaw that fcme hooks were damaged and a few men wounded. The fame Journal gives the follosiing letter from Vicuna, of date sad July : " The contemptible &secs& SMITH is in Boise mia,where hereceivesfrequent couriers from London. He is employed as he would be any where elfe in planning new intrigues. A perfon named ?dowr y:re is alto there. His roiffion is to recruit un sappy wretches who Coffer themfelves to be capti "aced by his promifes. It is to there two men and the Abbe de la Fats who is here, that we owe the fake and difaftrous news fpread in Germany.—They are too well known to do hurt. " They eonfole themfelves by fuppofing, that they sW produce mirchief. We are affured that our Go . fleteMelli will not Puffer them to remain longer in the Hereditary States." I The lifewitair Elates that the French Emperor ar rived at Calais on the 6th at midnight and infpeiled the veffels and fortifications. We find by another MD:titan, that he was at Dun kirk on the 9th. where he reviewed one of the divi fsons of the army. He is probably making a tour of the different portiand camps on the coati. A letter from Baltimore, dated June 16th, Rates the arrival at Wafbington of the famous traveller Ho meows., whence he was immediately to proceed to Europe. The philoCophical world will rejoice in thus learning that the report of his death was unfounded. Letters from Berlin Elate that Count de Moo wire has definitively retired from the Miniftry, on a penflon, and has been fucceeded by Baron de HAR DIN WO. CMAITAL, the Miniller of the Interior, has Te figned, and is to be fucceeded by M. CHAMPAGNY, the prefent Ambaffndor at Vienna. In the mean time M. PORTAL'S performs the office. On this occafion, BONA AAAAA wrote the f a llowing . letter to the Miniller : " M. C , I obferve with pain your inten tion of quitting the Minillry, that you may devote yourfelf entirely to the fciences, but I yield to your defire. You will deliver the portfolio to M. Poara Lis, Minifter of Worfhip, and in the mean time I have definitively provided for that department. " Wilting to give ycu a proof of my fatisfaftion with your Cervices, I have appointed you a Senator. *ln there eminent fonai , •ns, which will leave you more time to apply to your labours, for the profperity of our Arts and the provers of our Manufaaures, you will render ofefol Cervices to the State and to myfelf. I pray GOD to have you in his Holy keeping. (Signed) 0 Narot.soc" Casks, Assaf 7. By the Hamborgh mail of yeßerJay, accounts were received that the 61 , ckade of the City of Bremen is Aill maintained with unabated vigour. Even the commercial correfpondence of that neutral town (3 conduft fur whir]) no precedent occurs in the halite proceedings ut civilized Sla'es), has been fubjeeled to interruption in the filet intlance, and to abiolute prohibition at I AR. Tile loan, contribution, or exac tion (for the Icandalousattempt to plunder the inhabi tants of t h at o n oifending town has moat - tonally paired under all Ode denominations), has been extended from Italia million to tioo,coo rix-dollars. The Bre_ miners, with mote courage than diforation, flat per il a in relufng to 1 . 111)1714 to 6 . o9 . fiCait impotition, and the ponifhment ot their urttowarellinefs will moll probably be a progretlive aecumulatinn of the demand. The amo unt of it will become fo enormous at laft, that the French, who are not o'er delicate in affairs of the fame complexion, will fnatch a pretext from it, and thee/wive( elallinacy of the inhabitants, to break into the city, and carve for themfelyes. The determination of the French Government refpelling that unprecedented nseafure, was daily and anxi(Jufly expelled at Bre men. We are not acquainted with the grounds upon which the merchants and inhabitants of that town have founded their hopes cf relaxation from the 06. terms of the rater': but knowing fornewitat of the charaaer of the principal peculator, we confefs it would afford ne much fatisfaSion, and more for-' price, to learn that their hopes were rea li z ed. We fear, however, that if the inhabitants Rill per- RR in their refufal to comply with the requilitions of Boa AP eare's Agents, abfolute ruin may he expeaed to be the confequence. The town is altogether de fencelefs, and it is abfrtrd to exile& any fotbearanec from thole who have fhewn themfelves In prone to every fpecies of violence, rapacity, and injuflice. This freth proof of the unprincipled views of the French Government will naturally be the ground of addi tional diffatisfaCtion to the Court of St. Peterfburgh. The difpofition manifeßed by the latter is fuch, as may ultimately be produaive of the moR importan confegnences, though the mAnent for a fuecefsfuPre newal of a Continental war may yet be at fome dif- lance. In addition to the information which we commu nicated on the 7th inflant, of a relaxation of the blockade of the Elbe, in favour of the city of Ham burgh, we have to announce that his Majefty's Go vernment have agreed to extend the fame indulgence to the City of Bremen, and to the Danifh (hips from Gluckftadt concerned in the whale fi(hery. A noti fication to this effea has been made to Count Wapiti. jaassasact, the Danifh Minifter, and alfo to M. Guntur°, the Deputy of Bremen, by letters from Lord HAILILOWEY. This difpofitiOn on the part of Government to afford every facility to the trade of the Neutral Powers that a reafonable jealoufy of the defigns of the enemy will admit, is confiftent with the acknowledged manlinefs of the Britifh chandler, and cannot fail to ezalt it in the eyes of the untyran nized remains of Europe. An unexpected inftance of independence with re (pee to France, has been recently manifefted by the Court of Vienna. It has declared, that the Englifh merchantman captured by a French privateer, is not alawfolprize,afentence in confirmation to that of the Tribunal of Triefte. The cargo of the veffel is efli mated at upwards of zoo,ooo florins. The French Conful interfered but little in this bufinefs, as the Cap tain of the privateer is not a native of France, but of Ancona. The harbour of Venice is now declared a free per. The goods, however. snug not be brought into the town and fold there, without paying the cuaomary duties. On Thurfday afternoon, his Royal Highnefs the Duke Gf Susssx arrived at Windfor to pay his ref pets to his Royal Parents, on his return from abroad. He was accompanied from town by his Royal Bro thers the Dukes of Klmr, Cottontail!), and Cam alum I. The Princefs San IA of Gloucefter arrived alto about the fame time. _ _ • Yellerday morning His MAJESTY, accompanied by the Dukes of I{l4lT, CUM , and Camaatnas, with their ufual attendants, rode in Windfor Little Park, and infpaled the Staffordfhire militia, who had a field•day. Difpatches were lark night fent from Lord Can- DEN'S Office to Portfmouth, to he forwarded by the HYDRA frigate to Sir ALEX. BALL, at Malta. Lord Mrxvrixa is gone to Margate, to confer, it is laid, %%i I Lord KEITH, on important bufinefs. Yetlerday Sir HARRY MALI arrived in town, for the purpole of taking the command of the ROYAL Sr:miasma Yatch, which is expelled to fail to Wey mouth next week, to attend their MAJRATILL. Part of Lord G. L. GOWFR'S baggage, with ten horfes and four carriages., was embarked on Monday, and failed on Tuefday fir Sr. Peter (burgh, from Northfleet ; anA i.n Wednelday next his Lordfhip and fuite will leave Whitehall for Yarmouth, where the AMBUSCADE frigate is .:citing to receive him His Lordfhip will be accompanied by the Honourable Mr. Posts/way, youngctl fon of the Earl of BOROUGH, with his private Secretary, Mr. STEWART, and his public Secretary, Mr. R, , es, and eleven do mellics. The (late livery prepared on the occafion is the grandelt ever carried out to Ruflia. It. isafferted from gr-rid authority, that not a fingle Chip has efcaped from Brett. Captain ELPHINsrom, of the DIAMOND, having anchored within win rhot of the outermon (hips, and reconnoitred the whole fleet. The molt prfitive orders are jailed to the feveral Officers commanding the (hips in the River, to ufe their utmon exertions in equipping them for lea, and proceeding to the Notre without lofs of time. In order to prevent all mifunderflanding and con ftifion which might ante on the ground of precedence among the officers of the various kinds of force to be employed in cafe of invafion, it has been judged pro per to promote fifty Colonel. of regular troops to the rank of Brigadier-Generals. By this judicious ar rangement, all jealouties will be avoided which might otherwife take place between Colonels in Militia and Volunteer Corps. and Colonels of the line. In the event of invanon, the new Brigadier-Generals will take the command of brigades compofed of Militia and Volunteers. - The Loyal North Britons are not commanded by Colonel Drivivsos ' as erroneoufly Rated in tome of the papers, but by Lord Ray. • Monday morning, the remains of the late Earl of Le tra tra. who died in London, were depofited at the family burial place of St. Michan's, Dublin. Lord HAWN nevi y has removed from his hour. in Piccadilly, to the bottle lately occupied by Mr. You, York-greet, St. James's. The Sheriffs received much civility from Mr. Maim- WARING'S party, but Come people fay they have made a very improper return for it. A witty Lawyer being :liked his opinion of the Sheriff's return on the Middlefex Elation, anfwered 46 pf 1„,,. ., On Thurfday a man undertook, for a confiderable wager, to go lour times and a half round the race courfe in Pontefrat Park (being a (finance of nine miles) in one hour, which he performed in one mi nute and two fccuutls under the timc allowed.

The New Teri Evening PO, of the tsgh of July, contains lime farther Ratemehts concerning the late unfortunate tranfaetion, which terminated in the death of Gen . HasiLTOk. Doubts had sacs, from contra dictory accounts, whether the General did not fire firlt at-Colonel BURR. To clear up this matter, the declaration of the General, in the paper he wrote previous to the duel, is referred to, together with his converfation with a Gentleman, to whom he obferved, that his intention of not firing arofe from a religiose /teeth, and did not admit of reafoning." After he was wounded, he obferved to another Gentleman, Pa NDLITON knows I did not mean to fire at Colonel Butte the first time ;" and when in the boat, li' laid to one of the boatmen, " take care of that pißol—it is cocked—it may go off and do mifchief." From all this, it is concluded that lie was not fenfible of having fired at all. But to clear up the whole, Mr. PEIDLS TON, and another, went on the following day to the (pot, where, after examination, they obferved that General Haw IiTON'S ball went through the limb of a cedar tree, at the elevation of about 12 fee: and a half from the ground, 13 or 14 feet horn the mark on which the General flood, and about four feet wide of the dire& line from thence to Colonel BURR.
