Coat for no. 581 No farther intelligence had been received when this Paper went to prefi, of the Fleet under the command of Lord NE :Awe, or of the Combined French and Spann fleets. A variety of reports, however, were in circulati , n yeflcrday, none of which teemed de (crying of notice ; we !hall not therefore repeat them. Whatever may be the fate of the Combined French and Spanith fquadrons, a Monitorr of the sth or 6th is Paid to have reached town, which contains Tome curious fpeculations in regard to it. No light is thrown uptin the ultimate deilination or immediate operations of that fleet, but enough is fuffered to efcape to induce aittrong fufpicion, that the French Government is aware of the poffibility of its being intercepted, and that fome care is taken to prepare the public mind for the misfortune which it has ac tually fuffered. It is Paid to be Rated "that even if the Combined Fleet were defeated and captured, Rill the Naval exertions of France mutt command the irefpea and excite the admiration of Europe. She will have redeemed the pledge the made ; the will have proved that the can fend out naval expeditions when ever the !hall pleafe, in fpite of the vigilance and ma ritime preponderance of the enemy." Such is raid to be the tenor of the demi-official obfervations in the Monitear, but not having fern it ourfelves, we do not think ourfelves authorifed to make any comments upon it. Letters from our fleet off Brea, dated fo late as Sunday Jail, Rate, that there is not a doubt of the fquadron feen by the NAIAD, off Uflsant, having been that which efotped from Rochefort during the ab fence of Admiral Srtat.sem. We are forry to add, that it is faid the enemy have been able to return to Rochefort. By the difpatches received yetterday from Admi• rah Lord KEITH and Douozas, and our own letters treceived this morning, it does not appear that any of the enemy's veffels were captured in the late engage ment off Boulogne; but from the long continuance and feverity of the firing, it is probable that they fuflained confiderable damage. According to our letters from the coaft, the cannonade proceeded from the batteries along fhore. Upwards of 300 of the enemy's belt gun boats had affembled in the Bay, and from the near approach of a number of our cruizers, it was fuppofed that an attack upon the flotilla was on the point of taking place. The whole line of batteries in that quarter commenced a tre mendous fire, which was kept up for a long time ; we are happy to fay, without any damage to our veffels. Some of the gun boats which had ventured too far on the ontfide of the pier, were driven afhore. On the 1 - 4 . 0 of the invafion there is nothing new. The utmoft adlirity prevails in all parts of the coun try in preparations to cover the enemy with difgrace, if ever he fhould fucceed in landing on our fhores.— This allivity cannot be carried too far, and we have only again earneftly to imprefs on the minds of all orders, that activity is perfcilly compatible with the txtmoff coolnefs and regularity. Unneceffary alarm can only create embarraflistent, and embarraffment can only ferve to augment danger. Let us wait the re- Cult with calmnefs, and we ihall be the better enabled to enter on the grand flruggle, if ever it arrive, with all the fpirit of Freemen, and all the charaeeriftic courage yofEng lifhmen. This morning arrived the Hamburgh Mail due on Sunday lall, and a Gottenburgh Mail. The printed Journals by thefe mails contain no information what aver in regard to the political views of the great Continental Powers. The French, it is Paid, are adding confiderable reinforcements to their troops in Upper Italy, which, including the Italian troops, amount now to moot) men ; and it is ffated in a letter firm Vienna, that the Archduke CnaaLas will fet out in the mirk of this month to make a general review of the troops. A letter, dated Rochelle, July 18, which teems to have been copied from Come of the French Journals, mentions eight fail of the line and frigates having failed from the Ilk of Air on the 17th. They took a foutherly courfe ; bat no hints are given in regard to their deltination. The articles molt worthy of no tice are the following : ROCHELLE, JULY 18.—Yefterday the fquadron of the Ilk of Aix, confining of eight (hips of the line and frigates, under the command of Capt. LALLIS WIAiIn, put to fea in order of battle, with a fair wind, and proceeded on a fouthern courfe. As the wind continued i vourable, the fquadron by this time mull have got i confiderable diftance. BASTIA (in the Ifland of Corfica) JVLY to.—Three Englifh (hips of war and a frigate, have been cruiling , for eight days pall on our coall. They form part of lthe Englift fquadron in the Mediterranean.

On the loth of this month Duca Orosseaicus, Prince of the Holy Rotnaa Empire, and Knight of the Golden Fleece, died at the age of 81. Irorty-three officers of the fecond Helvetic half-brigade, which were in th e Nea poli tan territories, have been difcherged, and are proceeding to Switzerland. Lucca, JULY t 6.—Yellerday the Prince and Prin cefs of Piombino and Lucca, made their public en try here. During the celebration of divine f erv ie e , the French Minitter Plenipotentiary prefented the Prince with a (word, on the part of the Emperor NAPOLEON. The whole of the ceremony of inftallation was very magnificent. The Prince and Princefs will make this city their refidence. Visions, Joey 27.—Several couriers have arrived here to-day and yetterday. The Government has liberally rewarded a Rate mellinger, who has arrived from Berlin, charged with important di(patches.— Since the arrival of this Mellinger, a great aaivity has been obferved in the Rate chancery. The Ruffian General Sips INGTORTIN. E4lO is an. rived here from Corfu, has been prefented to the Emperor by the Ruffian Ambafador, and will fet out next week, with his lady, for Peterfburgh. There is talk here of a new declaration of neu trality, which may take place under certain circurn fiances. A certain perfon has been arrefted at Munich, at the requelt of a foreign power, and concluded, under , the efcort of an officer, a fubaltern, and ten foldiers,l to his deltination. He arrived yetterday in this city. Several battalions of our garrifon will go to the camp of Pettan, to make room for t i lie frefh troops that are arriving. The Archduke CHARLE4 will let out next month, to make a general infpedion of the troops. BANKS OF THR MAINE, JULY 30.—According to private letters from France, there were embarked at Boulogne, on the 13th July, at lean 30,000 men, un der General DATOUST, and provided with bifcuit, ammunition, &c. The number of unmounted caval ry which General BALAGUIT d'Hira.reas was at the fame time bringing down, as a reinforcement to the army on the coati, was eftimated at 14,000 men. ALTONA, AUGUST. 6.—lt is (aid, that Baron Ds BROCKNOSIMI, Minißer for his Prutlian Majeßy at Prefden, who was appointed to the fame poR at the Court of the Emperor of Germany, will not go to Vienna ; his Matter having appointed him to a more important office in the interior. There is a arong report that a treaty of alliance between feveral Mirth ern Powers is now in agitation, and will loon be figned. FRONTIERS or RUSSIA, JULY 24.—Three Ferfian khans, who have hitherto belonged to the bottle party on the frontiers of Georgia, have now, it is underflood, fubmitted to the Ruffian Sceptre. A confiderable corps of Ruffian troops it aim bling near Dubno, for military esercife. PETERSBURCH, JULY i9.—His Imperial Majefty has ordered mourning to be worn for eight days, to commence from the 17th of this month, on account of the deceafe of her Royal Highnefs Madame the Countefs D'Aitrois. &mum, JULY to.—The Chrillian infurgents of Servia have new colours and drums; they have in the chapel of their camp a bell weighing 70 pounds, which has greatly increafed the fury of the Turks againft them. They celebrate divine fervice pub licly, and have affixed ten croffes on the belfries of their churches. Chrillian families are every day ar. riving from Bulgaria and Albania, and Come other Turkilh provinces, who bring with them all they have, and join the infurgeats of Servia : the latter are continually becoming more formidable, and al. ready extend to the river Mera, which mull Decals- rily loon produce the commencement of hoßilities. So violent bi the hatred of the two parties to each other, that the Turks cut off the nofes and ears of all the infurgents who fall into their bands ; and the infurgents, by way of reprifal, cut of the right bands of all the Turks they take. ALculas, Juav 4.—No perfon, not even a Turk, ever exerted an influence fo great as that of the Jew Rattan. Bufnah. jie diftributed employments of every defcription, governed every thing, and violated all the ancient ufages which are held facred. This fyliem was maintained by infolence, mixed with the molt unworthy bafenefs, united, however, with much courage. Several confpiracies have in confequence, at diffe rent times, been formed ; attempts have been made to alfaffinate the Miniffer, and the Dey was tome time fince attacked and dangerouily wounded.—Thefe warniags, however, had no effc upon the Miniffer, whofe infolence, on the contrary, augmented until it became infupportable. The indignation of the militia was deeply routed. We experienced an unexampled (catchy, while But. nab feat all the corn to the enemies of the regency. At length, on the 9th of this month, he was fired at and wounded near the bottle of the Dey, by a Turk named Yahia, who, retiring, Paid, " Safety to the Governor of Algiers." Some Noubadjus of the Prince's guard ran and feized the affaffin. With a firm countenance he Paid, is I have killed the vil lainous jew who has fo long tyrannized over you, and yea mull be Jews like him if you attack my perfon." The Noubadjus retired, and the Turk peaceably reached his chamber. Bufnah was carded into'his houfe, where he died three hours aftewards. Yahia confeffed to his comrades the a& he had committed, and afked if they were determined to de fend him ; if not, be malt fly to the mountains. All of them (wore they would fooner die than deliver him up. Deputations from other detachments of the mi litia took the fame oath, and the example was follow- I ed by a great number of the inhabitants. In the evening the Dey pardoned the affaffin. The corpfe of Bufnah was obliged to be efcorted by a numerous guard, as the people threatened to born it, and (lone the bearers. The toth in the morning the militia came one of their barracks, and maffacred all the Jews they could find in the finds, and afterwards pillaged the houfes and warehoufes of Burnell. They were joined by the Maures and the barbarous populace of Pukris and Khaits, when the pillage became general, whilft they wgre encouraged by the thous of the women in the arms and on the terraces. The Dey at length, after tome hours, fent Tome of the Members of the Divan to the barracks, to inform the mi litia that the Prince did not like the Jews any more than they did, and that if they clerked it, no more Jews fhould be fuffered to remain at Algiers than thofe who profs fed the mechanic arts, and the num ber of which had been anciently axed by convention with the Jewifh nation. This Rep quieted the militia, who fucceffively withdrew to their barracks. The corpfes in the ffreets were burnt amidft the se clamations of an Immenfe crowd, and the furviving Jews were fent off in an Imperial 'ref d on the tath. The lois to the Jewith people in gold and jewels is incalculable. Gorrtssulon, Atm. S.—There is no particular news here. When the laft meffenger from St. Pe. terlborgh (who arrived here on Tuefday lait, in eight days) left that city, M. NOVOZILT zosr had not arriv. ed there. A report is prevalent that the King of Sweden will make fieliingborg a free port.

They were marched to Kennington Com. mon, where they were infpeded by Colonel ADMIN. almost, in pretence of Major General Gaosyswoa. During the infpedion, Colonel Accocit was thrown from his horfe, but with little injury.

The St. James's Loyal Volunteers, Colonel Lord Awniasr, make daily meters with knapfaeks, and every thing clfe that is necefrary for an immediate march. We underftand that the great chain of fignal towers, or defenfible polls, building in the South of Ireland, under the infpettion of Major General Payma, are neatly finiffied, and that the following are already complete, viz. in the County of Kerry ; Bolulhead, Brea head, Great blaikets, Sybil-bead, Ballydavid-head, and Kerry-head ; in the County of Clare, Khocknagaroon, Hags-head, Baltard and Loops head; that on Mutton Wand, fituated alfo ini the County of Clare, between Hags-bead and Baltard, building by Mr. Manse, will be complete in a few days.

WEYMOUTH, AUGUST 4.—This morning early, hi MAJFSTY accompanied by the Dukes of Yo RE , CumpiaLauct, and CAMBRIDGF, and the ufual reti. nue, took his morning ride through the camps and returned to Weymouth at eleven o'clock. After partaking of fume refreffiment, the Royal Party again visited the camps, where they were joined by the whole of the General Officers, and his Majcsry infpeetecl the igth Regiment of Light Dragytnns. previous to part of the Regiment going into winter cantonments at Dorchefler Darrackc. .4t twelve o'clock their MAJFSTIFS and the rryal branches of the family embal keJ or. board the Royal Yacht. The Royal Party dined on board, and after taking a d e . lightful excurfian with a pleafant breeze, they re. turned at fix o'clock, and honoured the Theatre with their pretence to re; the Wader and the Aii,hri i ;kt Hoar. The Duke of Yot z arrived at his honfe in Portman fquare about (even o'clock yetlerday morning fron t Weymouth, having travelled all night, He left town this day for his feat at Oatlands, where his ami. able Duchels gives a grand fete to morrow, in honour of the Duke's Birth-day, An American brig, brought into Plymouth by the TRIUMPH, was, it Teems, one of the fmall fleet of via uallers from Bourdeanz to Cadiz, laden with flour and big - cult for Admiral V!zutesuva's fquadron. It is clear, therefore, that the enemy's Beet was expeaed t Breach the Coall o dpain. • Yellerday a Court of Direeors was held at the Eall India Houfe, which adjourned at fix o'clock till Wed• nefday next. Yefterday at noon arrived at the Three Kings ho- tel, Deal, Mrs. JARMO, BONAPARTE'S brother, and immediately ordered poll horfes for London, Saturday the Judge of Police in Edinburgh fined two officers in 4os. each,befides colts of fuit, for fend ing and receiving a challenge. We !rase it from good authority, that Mr. Hot.- taarehas a mod in the prefs, on that very intereft ing fubjed, the ill confequences of Gaming. No ordei whatever has been Wired either by the Council pr the Admiralty relative to the det , ntion of American eelle4 bound to the enemy's ports, as er eoneoally Rated in this and other papers. This ra- MOOT is ftippofed to have originated from a late decifion of Sir WILLIAM &or?, founded %„t. a re folution of the Privy Council, that the produce of enemies colonies, carried to America, there entered and fubfequently tranfmitted to the mother country, is Rill in trityite, and the eptry in America not changing the dellination, can only be regarded as a deviation in the voyage. An Order, we und• Hand, is about to be iffued from the Council Office, declar ing that neutrals laden with the produce of th enemy's colonies, and bound to the United King doms, (Call not be molefied by our croize:s. The Margaret, Bowies, from Africa and New Providence, is arrived at Savannah, after beating of two French privateers, with the lots of two men killed and ten wounded. Dustxtuq.—A few days finoe the Barran d'lm bert, a French Naval Officer, exhibited articles of the peace againft Henry Gardane and Antilen MariePi, two other French Gentlemen, for challenging him to fight a duel. The Sitting Magifirate at Bow ftreet underilanding the caufe of difpute to originate about public :amis. iffued fummonfes inftead of warrants.—The parties did not attend, agreeably to the fummonfes, but their Attornies did. This was not fatisfadory to the Baron. On Tuefday Mr. BOOM iffued a warrant for their apprehenfion • and yefterday all the parties attended before a full Bench of Magifirates. The hearing occupied from one till three o'clock, during which time much recrimination pal Ted on both fides, bol# in charges of political, as well as a private nature. They were attended by their Solicitors, as well as a number of friends. Lord Minn; was among them, and Rated his knowledge of the parties, and that it arofe from the furrender of Toulon to this country. The Baron, upon that occafinn, as well as at feveral times fince, had rendered particular fervices to this country ; but his Lordfliip confider ed him of a very irritable tem per, and he had been frequently involved in difpotes. His Lordthip (poke particularly of his knowledge of Henry Gardane, having tranfiated a deal of burin& with him, and confidered him very harmlefs and mild in his temper. His Lordihip likewife (poke in favour of Emilien Martelli. The Magifirates, after a very full and patient hear ing of the parties, and their Solicitors, both in Fre. and Englillf, thought it right, from what came , •01. to bold all the parties to keep the peace, thendelscs in 200 i. and two navies in tool. each. Lord Minto offered to be bail for Henry Gardane ; and Emilien Martelli not being provided with a fecond friend, his Lordlhip obferved, he knew his family very well, and would, if agreeable to the Magillrates, likewire be come bail for him, which was, of courfe, accepted. 'the Baron's Solicitors were admitted his bail. The confidence of Foreigners in our national in tegritx, is firongly evinced by the decided preference they give to the Lotteries of this Kingdom over thofc of every other State :n Europe. So great are the demands from the Continent for Tickets of the pre fent Lo•tery, that feveral Merchants have applied for large lots of them to fupply their foreign cored pondents, from a conviaion that the price mull life coadcrab.l,•,
