"FY"' GERMAN?. HAMBURGH, J ULY 25.—Di (patches from Peterf burgh, of the Bth inilant, received bye xprefs, men tion the departure of all the Englith (hips which had been under embargo there, with valuable cargoes of wheat and naval !toms. The Ruffian Government has fent an exprefs to Paris with a copy of the Convention of. St. Petert burgh, of the vith of June, for M. de KAMM CH Err. This Convention has not been communi cated to Citizen Ducoc. It is faid that the Con vention contains louse fecret articles, by which all the political relations formerlyfubfifting between Greota Ruff a, Rua, Sweden, and Deninark, are to be rellored, and the Treaty conclud be tween the two former countries, durin Lord g WHITWORTH'S embaffy in 1797, .is to be again in ftill force. Count MARLOW was preparing to fet out from Peterfburglt, as Ambaffador Extraordinary to - Paris, where he will carry with him new political inftruftions from his Sovereign, and relieve M. de Kotrrsco err, who is laid to be highly difguited with his refidence in France, as his interference in favour of the Kim° of SARDINIA, and of the Mar quis de Moasitt, his Ambafrador there, has been fo little regarded. The Marquis left Pa i ris on the 6th ink . having been provided with palfports, un afked, fome months before, but he made no ufe of them. . On the 2 2 d ult. the French Minifter of Police fignified to his Excellency that he might quit Pans, as he had no bufinefs there, to which the Marquis, at the requeft of M. de KALITSC H SIFF, anfwered, that he did not acknowledge the right of any Minifter of Police to order him to leave Paris. At laft, on the sth ink. the Marquis him fell declared, that as he had no longer any official character in France, he would leave the capital the very next day. Soon after his departure, the Sar dinian Secretary of State fent notice to the French -Government, and the reft of the Diplomatic Corps, that he was no longer Sardinian Secretary of Le..l gation, but Secretary of the Emboli . ) , of the Em peror of all the Ruffias, ALRX ANDER the FIRST. The Roman Gazette, and private letters from Naples, pofitively nate, that the Knio of SARDI- V la had embarked in the port of Naples Tor Malta, whence a Britilh man of war was to convey him to the illand of Sardinia. The French Minifter, La ROCHETOUCAULT, at the Court of Drefden, has not yet been publicly acknowledged in his diplomaic capacity, nor is it fuppofed that the Etscroa of Saxon , intends to fend an Envoy to Paris. Count Cossarzat, has notified to the Govern ment at Paris, that meafures will immediately be taken by his Court for the payment of the inte sett on the capital which die Houfe of Auftria heretofore took on Miff in Belgium, and which are fecured on the tolls of the copper and quick- Myer mines of Iftria.

Difpalches were received this morning at the Admiralty, which (late that Capt. Rastas, of his Majefty's (hip Msacuar, of 28 guns, has cap. cured, in the Mediterranean, a veffel having on board Difpatches from the Flair Consul. to Ge. neral Mitmou. From the laft accounts - our Govertunent has re ceived, it is believed, that Gaprot exults has fuc. seeded in landing 4.,000 men about 25 leagues to the weftward of Alexandria. The contents of yefterday's Extraordinary-Ga zette fet Sir Jamas SAUDI AR F Z higher, if pomble, in the public eftimation, than even his former at chievements. The lots of the HAM/usu. has been more than retrieved by the gallant anion of the t xth of July, which is inferior to none of the brilliant exploits that adorn our naval annals. indeed, we are at a lofs which to admire moft, the aftonifhing adivity with which the Admiral repaired the fhips, which mutt have &find Co much on the sthr or the daring courage with which, fo Inferior is numbers, he attacked an enemy fo infinitely fuperior. The Englifh (qua. dron had to encounter an odds of two to one. The Ponca could not be got to fta, Co that Sir J. Bsursaaex had only five fhips of the line, the CASAIp 811111011, VissiasLi, Sums, and Au- Damns, to give battle to ten (hips of the line, for the enemy had five Spanifk fhips from Cadiz, one (hip under French colours, the three under Ad miral Liaoss, and the HANNIBAL, which they itad manned. Betides this fuperiority, there were kveral other French weird. from Cadiz, under Admiral Durawolt. In addition to this there were, on the fide of the enemy, an infinite num ber of gun-boats and other armed veffels. Nothing, theirefore, fltevis in a more confpicimus lagjlt the cottrage and enterprize of our navy, than that five (hips of the line and a frigate, v.hich but d a ys before had been engaged and had fuf- fered confiderably in &Rion, fhould have ventured to engage inch a fuperior force. Nothing more clearly thews the cowardice of the enemy, and proves how much they were, on the sth, indebted to the batteries on chore, than their condu& on the tzth. In ftead of boldly corning into anion, they endeavoured to [teal away into Cadiz. With a fortune, however, which their gallantry fo well deferred, our Tailors were enabled to punith them for their empty boa& upon an accidental, fhort lived thecae. From the brilliant fuccefs which attended the I efforts of our fquadron on the evening of the tath, we are entitled to conclude, that if all the !hips could have come into anion, the vi&ory would have been.attended with dill'greater fpoils. The enemy in the courfe of the night, and during tempeftuous weather, were able to effeEt their efcape. On the morning of the t 3th, the Vswi. assts brought a French chip to aCtion,but having fuffered fo much in her marts, ihe was not in a fituation to purfue s owing to this circumitance, and a calm which took place, the French {hip got away. This Tiftory muft be conlidered, in every . refpee, extremely glorious and important. The pride and elation which the French tailors might have con ceived on a doubtful advantage, will now be dif pelled, and they will fink to their former confci oufnefs of inferiority. The Spaniards, who have (offered fo cruelly by their zeal to aft their al lies, will be lefs prompt in hurrying into battles, in which they have neither glory nor advantage to obtain. It certainly was handfome in the Portuguefe frigate to go out with our fquadron, but the Cap tain by his name, appears to have been a Briton ! DoN JOAQylli de Mottetio, who commanded the Spanifh fleet, was the fame who commanded all the Spanifh gun-boats during the memorable liege of Gibraltar, and was reckoned one of the heft and molt alive officers in the Spanifh navy.

After the adtion off Algeziras, and previous to the Taft fignal vitiory off Cadiz, Sir JAuss SAu stAasz detached the PAILS? brig, Lieutenant WOOLDIUDaI, to Rear-Admiral Sir J. W qre uefting a reinforcement from the Britilh Beet in that quarter. New York Papers up to the loth of June, were yellerday received,but theircontents ate extremely unimportant and unintereiting. We have faceted the only articles in the flightea degree worthy of obfervation. It is generally underftood that the Prefident has determined to difcontinue the Argerican Le g ition to the Court of Lifbon and thp Batavian Republic. This refolution is Paid to have originat ed in confederations of national ceconotiy, and a with to fnperfede the prefent delicate forms of di plomatic connection with thefe powers. It is con ceived that every necetary commercial relation with thefe Rates may be kept up by the appoint ment of refpeetable Conic's, with powers ftrialy appropriated to the intercourfes of trade, and en tirely divefted of the routine of diplomatic cere mony. - - - - • An official Letter from the American Canful at Gibraltar, dated the szd of Aprft, is wholly (dent on the fubjt& of a Declaration of War by the Dar of Algiers againft the United States. K A Letter from an Officer at Fort William gives Conte room for fufpe&ing that the difpofi. bons of the Creek Nations are not of the most friend ly kind. A meeting of thefe tribes was fhortly erpeeed ; and apprehenfions were entertained that fame hoftile meafures were in agitation. " Colonel Homrmasas, who during the Ame rican War was the Aid-de-Camp and confidential friend of General Wasnisoros, has been recalled from Madrid, and Mr. Cmaat.as Pisces's', of South Carolina, has been nominated Minifter to that Court. It is Paid that Mr. Pircsmay folicited a rniMon to London, but was informed that Mr. , KING was at prefent employed in a negociation, which he conducted mueb to the fatisfadion of the T, who had confequently requelled him to continue in London till the aczt opening of Congrefs. " Mr. BALDWIN, if Georgia, was very impor tunate for the appointment to Madrid, and the no mination of Mr. Pia exams has given rife to a con fiderable degree of difcontent. It appears indeed that from the very numerous applications made to till up the feveral vacancies which the appointment of the new Preftdent has occafioned, the y 11 4 ave been produfrive of the utmoft trouble and difficulty to the Executive Government." THREATENED INVASION. The great body of the French prifoners are now removing to Liverpool, that being a fituation the molt remote from any point at which an invalion can be attempted. At Briftol it is imagined that that city will be the objea of attack by the enemy, for the purpofe of liberating the prifoners at Stapleton, dec. who now exceed three thoufand. The Volunteers were muttered on Friday, for the purpofe of afcertain ing what effedive force. may really be depended on by Government in cafe of any fudden emergen cy or landing of the enemy. The meeting was highly creditable to the members ; and feveral pntlemen who had receded from the corps, deem ing their military duty to interfere with their pri vate vacations, returned their former Rations. Along the Briftol Channel and Welch coati or derly dragoons have been Rationed for the pur pofe, fhould an enemy appear, of making imme diate communication to the General of the Dittrid. Two dragoons are likewife polled on each fide the paffage. A large fleet of bomb-veffels and gun-boats are affembled in the Downs; they are under failing orders, and cape& hourly to proceed to their def tination. There are above 6o fail of veffels of war crulz ing between the Downs and the French coati. Two regiments are employed in erecting batte ries on the bills about Dover Cattle, and feveral 68-pounders, arid mortars of the Ltrgeft defcrip tion, are placing on them. A party of the foot-guards are regularly ezer cited every morning and evening, in the Park, with eight field-pieces, previous to their being employed on anal femme. They are already very expert in the management of the guns, to each of which 15 of them are attached, betide the artillery men. Magazines of bread, oats, &c. are now filling at Burntwood, Bithops-,Stortford, and Stebbing, in Effex, for the fupply of his Majefty's troops Such was /t eemed the exigency of this fervice, that waggons were delivering their loads all Sunday left at the former towns. A large encampment is now forming on the (bore of St. Ofyth, between the Colne and Morn ingtree rivers, on the Effie coati: a part of the prefent nrong ganifon pf Colchefter is ordered to take this ground. Four compleat parks of artillery, forming a hol low fquare, are fo arranged at Woolwich, as to be able to fet off, at a moment's wanting, to any part of the country. The horfes are harneffed in the centre, and the drivers and engineers fleep on the fpot. In the rear of the guns, which are in general nine and twelve-pounders, are the rbevaux de frife, ammunition waggons, and all the other apparatus that appertains to a complete park of artillery. . The Royal Cornwall Militia h7ve received or ders to encamp, and only wait the arrival of g part of their camp equipage. They exped to be joined by lonic troops of hone. The ground is marked out on the gilds of Pendennis Cattle, and one company has already taken its Ration there. — Pickets are polled from the genii . = to Swanpool, who nightly patmle the coati. The fortifications of the garriGin, which have lately undergone very contiderahle repairs, are now nearly complete, and, with the number and weight of the artillery on the ramparts, prefent the moll formidable alpeft. On 'the apprehenfion of an attempt of the enemy in that quarter, the volunteers of the neighbouring towns will be ordered to join this encampment. On Thurfday evening the Newcaftle Volunteers were muttered in the Btgg Market, in confequence of Colonel Ci.zewert. having received a Circular Letter from Lord Hoarier, requefting that the Volunteers would hold themfelves in perfe& rea dinefs to march, in cafe the enemy (hould make any attempt at Invafion :—The Corps unanimouf ly requefted, that Colonel Clan mart. would im mediately repeat, to Lord Muroaays, their offer of fervice on any part cif the Coati, between the Rivers Tees and Tweed; and alfo further add, that, if his Lori:Blip thought proper, they would take charge of the Town. The Corps has alto re, ceived orders to have 36 rounds of ball cartridgea l per man fent from the Rores at Tynemouth. Laft week the North York Militia marched from Newcaftle for the encampment at Fulwell, near Sunderland. Two troops of the 4th Dragoons alto left that town on Wednefday, for Hezham and Morpeth; where they are to remain during the affizes. The Cambridgefhire Yeomanry Cavalry have given notice, that as their number is reduced from 64 to 22, they (ball fufpend any further mutter, until their number is increafed fufficiently to ren der chart of lonic utility, in cafe their fervices fhould be called for. On Tuefday the tath ult. the Granton Volun teem, commanded by Captain GRANT, of Tul lochgorum, and the eight companies compofing the Sttathfpey Volunteer Battalion, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Ga a N r, of Aches% nick, amounting to boo rank and file, were in fpeCted in the fquare of Granton by Major Bair sta,l in pretence of Sir jamas GRANT, of Grant, Lord Lieutenant of the county of Invernefs, on whole efface of Strathfpey th• whole of this fine body of men were railed. On Friday the a4th ult. the Volunteers of Lin lithgowfhire, confining of four companies of in flurry, and two troops of Gentlemen and Yee.. manry Cavalry, were infpetted by Lieutenant- General VTIII, in the vicinity of Hopetown-houfe. Monday fe'nnight the Girvan Volunteers, under the command of Major Bovo, were reviewed by Major-General Deur mono. According to the laft letters from Holland, the Dutch fleet in the Texel is preparing to put to lea, and Admiral Da Wierea has returned from the fquadron at Helvoctfluys, where he organized the fre(h levied feamen, to the Hague, to receive in ftruetions from the Direetory relative to the fail. ing and plan of operations of the Batavian fleet.
