MADRID, AUGUST ts,—On the to inflant the Spanifh troops took polreffion of Olivenza and its territory, where they found feveral magazines of Englifh goods, 'which were fent to Spain as con traband. VIENNA, AUGUST ta.—The taking of Cairo has been celebrated in a fplendid manner at Con fiantinople. The whole of Egypt is now eva cuated by the French, except Alexandria. There were fome (mailer detachments of the French in different places, but thefe are all included in the capitulation of Cairo. On board the five trstnf ports belonging to GANT HEAL! M sisfquadron, which were taken by the Englifh, there were 800 men. •••••- - I..FAHOLN, JULY 3 t.—Yefterday morning an Englifh fleet of eight fail, partly fhips of the line, and frilly frigates, which were fuppofed to belong to Admiral Waaasx's fquadron, made its appear ance at the diflance of so or t a leagues from our harbour. Three Frenchfrigates which blockaded Porto Ferrajo immediately cheered off. One of them took filcher under this guns of Orbitello, the other two, which were chaced, with great difficul ty got in here. Towards evening the Englifh Retied to the North-weft. • ANOTNIR LITTSIL, UPC( DAM—The appear ance of an Englifh fquadron off our coat has greatly changed the lunation of affairs. The three French frigates which covered the liege of Porto Ferrajo, have indeed made their efcape ; but Admiral WAILIAN, on his arrival on the coat of Italy, has taken a great number of (hips near Piombino : he partly took and partly deftroyed a French flotilla, having troops on board defined for the ifland of Elba • he leas alfo taken feveral veffels off that if]and. Should an Englifh fquadron remain in thofe teas, the French belleging corps on the ifland of Elba•rnuft either perifh with hunger br furreader ; for all communication with that island is now entirely cut off. ANOTHER LETTS", SAMS D•rs.—The Englifh haVe fuddenly fruftrated all the deligns of the French againft Porto Ferrajo, which has fo refo lutely defended itfelf. When Admiral WARREN, Who lately went in quell of Admiral GANT H EAU 14 R, btli without effect, appeared yefterday off our coati, and two of the French frigates ran into our harbour, the inhabitants were greatly alarmedneft the Englifh thould attempt to force them out.— The ftorm, to our great joy, however, patted over its, but it fell with great fury at Piornbino, and towards Porto Ferrajo. The whole ifland of Elba is now in the power of the Englifla ; and the French troops which are !till encamped at Lon. gone have, it is laid, no other choice, bnt to fur render or perifh with hunger. Betides a frigate and a tartan, the Englifh have taken, funk, and bthettrife dedroyed all thofmaller veffels employed UT the French in this expediticin. Six ammunition waggons, with a number of troops, almott with out any arms, have precipitately taken refuge in Leghorn ; but many ammunition waggons, and the *ar-cheft, have fallen into the bands of the Englifh. Porto Ferrajo is now completely deli vered, and the inhabitants have nothing more to fear. This expedition has colt the French a great num ber of men, from the obftinate defence of the gar *fedi and from ficknefs as their Fick' were conti nually coming into the hofpitals here. ITALY, AUGUST 3.—Accounts have been re ceived that the Engi;fh have taken eon of the ifland of Zante, at the requeft of the inhabitants ; thigh the Republic of the feven United Illands had been formally acknowledged by the Engin Government.

His Lordilip will after wards return to England, not for any political motives, but merely on account of his health. The greater part of the Supplementary Militia, in Suffolk, who were affembled, have been dif miffed, and only a few difciplined veterans fent to join the refpettive regiments.

The propofal, we feel fatisfatlion in Rating, was nnanimoufly agreed to, by every of ficer and private in the corps. Monday laft the Supplementary Militia affem bled at Wells, purfuant to order ; when about one hundred were feleded to join the regular militia, and die remainder fent to their homes, each man receiving two days pay. _ The Somerfet-Place Afrociation marched on Wednefday to the Afrembly Houfe. at Kentith Town; from whence they proceeded to fire with ball cartridge at a target.

A large plant of Indian corn is now growing in a garden belonging to Mr. Ecitio, of Kendal, which was fortri by fome children in the month of May lat. It is fix feet high, fix inches In cir cumference, and one of the leaves meafures three feet three inches. It is not yet in Bower, and to what height it may arrive cannot even be gueffed at. It is certainly a molt extraordinary plant, and numbers of people refort daily to fee it. A gentleman who has travelled from Leiceiler to Whitehaven, in the month of Augult, for 3: fucceffive years, declares he never raw fuch an appearance of plenty as the prefent feafon affords. The profped is alfo a iingilar one in other re fpeds ; for every kind of grain appears in the fame matured (late. A letter from Lewes, of Monday laft, fays The fine weather during the whole of laft week proved peculiarly favourable to the corn : it ena bled many farmers in this neighbourhood to cele- brate the harveft home. The hop-anittants for this diftria were (worn in here laft week, and the picking has commenced in many places. The growth of hops is, this year, fo abundant, that the duty, we hear, is now eftimated at twohundred and fifty thoufand pounds. The duty of the two tan years growth, we believe, did not amount to m o re than feventy thoufand pounds each." We feel great pleafure in communicating the following letter received yefterday from Bath : " Since I wrote to lon laft, I have traverfed the country from Silifbury coaftways, down tq the Land's End, and back to this city by way of Exe- • ter. From the information I have received, and my own obfervations, whilft travelling leifiirely roads between fields of grain, I think I may with propriety conclude, that finer crops were ncvci known. The wheat, barley, etc. are very full and heavy in the ear, fo that avarice cannot plead to flak Rory it did laft year. In the neighbourhood of Wellington (Somerfet), wheat has already fallen to ten and twelve (billings per bufhel ; and tiade alfo is now beginning to tevive. Such is the pleat: ing effea of a redation in the price of provilions. Vegetables of all kinds are uncommonly good and abundant. Potatoes are every where extremely prolific, and of excellent quality. Even the wane grounds or flips, on the fides of roads, planted with this ufeful root, yield good nutriment to the peafant and his family. The appl e trees are poor heavily laden in all parts; fo much fo, that people are occafionally obliged to prop up the branches of their trees with forked nicks, to keep them from being broken off; great fpeculations in cyder are expefted to take place in confequence of this abundance." _ _ LAI week there was a very fuccefaful tack of her. rings at Dunbar.
