FRANCE. PARIS, JULY 27. On the gth a numerous column of grenadiers and chaffeurs of the Imperial Guard arrived at Vime rens, and immediately occupied one of the adjacent 1 camps. The Tailors belonging to the guard went out to meet their comrades, and accompanied them to their quarters. In front of the camp tables were placed, at which they were treated with a fraternal mall. On the 18th an entertainment was given by the officers of the marine guard to thofe of the diffe rent other branches of that eflabliffiment. A table of I 5o covers was fread under a fpaciousand elegantly decorated tent. At the further end was placed the bull of the Emperor, on a verdant pedeßal, coveted with flowers. An eagle frifpended a crown over his head. The moll unreferved gaiety animated the whole party. Among the toatis given on this occafion were the following : " His Majefty the Emperor and King! May his life be con ftantly happy, and may his glorious career be extended beyond the ordinary term of exiftence." " Her Majefty the Emprefs ! Her gentlenefs and beneficence fpread happinefs around her. May the prayers which we offer up for her cooftant felicity he in every refpeet granted." " The Army of the Expedition May it, fpeedily traverfing the (pace which feparAtts it from the enemy, crown its glory, and lecure, by its fuccefs, the treedom of the fcas, and the repofe of the world" On Wednefday the Emperor held a Council of his Mini fters. On Thurfday he prefided at the Council of State, which affemblcd at St. Cloud at tett in the morning. They write from Etaples, of the 24th ;dint— " The greatett aaivity prevails here, and the troops only wait the orders of hia Maidly the Emperor and King." From Berlin we learn, that fince M. Novosivr. ZOFF'S departure, Baron HILILDINBERG tranfmitted to M. LAFORET, the French Ambatfador, a diplo• matic note, full of the moll friendly expreffions to wards the Emperor of the French, and molt flatter ing to his Amissfactor. JULY 28. The Official Journal contains tome news from Ge noa, which appears calculated to tranquillife the public mind refpetting the conduel of the Police at Venice, relative to two Italian Officers, and the French Commercial Commiffary, M. ROSTAIONY.-• It is (fated, that M. MervioNotz, the Aufirian Con fill General at Genoa, who had quitted that city, as well as the Autlrian Miniller Baron Glom, on the union of the Genoefe Republic with France, had re turned thither, being ordered by the Court of Vienna to difcharge thole functions with the French Govern ment, which he had exercifed with the Genoese. He was, in confequence, introduced to the Arch-Trea furer La Bevy, as Reprefentative of the Auflrian Emperor. Nevcrthelefs, all uneafinefs is not yet entirely done away, fince it is airerted that three perfons of diflinelion, tubjeas of the Emperor of Auaria, and nuw retiding at Paris, have been put un der c:x.finenient in their lodgings, by way of reta liation for the arreft of the two Italian Officers at Venice. It is not yet known when the Emperor will go to Boulogne, although a numerous column of grena- diers and chaffeurs belonging to his gu4rd went thi ther fourteen days ago. JULY 2g. We learn, by letters from Havre, that a veffel named the Carlin, with provifions for account of the Government, being in danger of being taken by an 'Englifh cutter, ran on (hove at Etigues. The cutter approached very near to the (bore, and kept up a hulk fire ; but the Cattom-houfe Officers anfwered it fo well, that fhe was obliged to Rand off. They then went on board the Carlin, and brought her fate into the port of Fecamp. JUI.Y 30. We are informed that the prefent French calendar will loon be abolifhed, it being found productive of endleii: inconvenience in mercantile tranfaaions, in comparing dates of letters and bills of exchange, and poffeffing not one advantage in return, as it was not even aftronornically jolt, and attually feparated us from all the re ft of Europe. Laft Sunday his Majefly the Emperor granted an audience at St. Cloud to feveral perfons, when the Prufiian MiLitter, the Marquis de Luccuastst, pre rented to his Majefly Count Srovr, Chamberlain to :he King of Paussza, and two other Pruflan Gen :lemen. It is alTerted that a telegraph will be ellablithed lween Milan and Paris. Five pzr Cents. with the Germinal Dividend, 61 anes 4o cents. The I.bourers who are at work at the Chateau cf the Thud!cries, for the eralion of a chapel, and. the buildings for the mention of the offices of the Council 3f Sta'e. proceed with the grearefi aetivity. The pal rages at the fide of the tight aifle are filled with hewn [tone, which are carried there ready formed and pre pared to fill the place which is deained for them.— Such is the promptitude ufed for their completion, that all the v. orkmen continue their labours till night, that is, till near nine o'clock in the evening. The trsah,ory work is to be immediately fucceeded by the labnurb of the decorator. The band traced on the front of the Caftle oppofite the Thuilleries, and the raquetting Houle, and on which were the infcrip- Pon and the attributes of the French Republic, is ef- lac-A, to give place to the Imperial and Royal Arms. On his paffage, by the department of the Aube, his Imperial and Royal Majeffy evinced a defile to ree the manufaCtories in this department for the fpin bing of cotton on an eztenlive plan, to fund& the Manufalturers of dimity, niutlins, and hoilery, which few from thence, particularly to Troyes the chief lace of the department, where there eQablithments it i n tos greatell pro!'perity.

They were brought by Captain MORRIS, of the PENGUIN brig, who arrived at the Admiralty in a port chaife and four. The contents have not tranfpired. Difpatches were alfo received this morning from Admiral Lord NELsos.—We underftand the follow ing to be the fubftance of there difpatches :—That his Lordfhip, with his fleet, arrived fate at Gibraltar Bay on the 39th July, having made all the fail he could in hope of overtaking the Combined Fleet ; which, (as we already know) he had not fallen in with ; that being Ihort of tome necefaries, he was ob liged to flop there for refrefhments; and that on the 26th of July his Lordthip was proceeding in (catch of the Combined Fleets, not having then heard any thing of them. From thefe difpatches it appears, that Lord NFL* sou had indeed been very expeditious in his purfuit of the enemy from the Weft Indies. He had con fiderably outfailed them, for it was on the 22d of July that Admiral Sir RODRIT CALDER fell in with the Combined Fleets, and on the 39th Lord NeLsos had reached the Bay of Gibraltar, which is about fix degrees to the eaftward of the longitude in which Admiral CaLosa fell in with the, enemy. Had the enemy not taken fuch a Northerly latitude, it is plain his Lordfhip would have fallen in with them tome days before their engagement with Admiral CALDER. Lord Nzzsom fent notice of his arrival to Admi ral Cot.cracwoon then fuppofed to be off Cadiz. His Lordfhip (betides what refrefhments he got at Gi• braltar) took in visuals and water at Tetuan on the African coaff, and, on the 26th, when he failed he purfued a Northern courfe. His Difpatches are dated the 26th. Should the enemy have proceeded to the. Sout hward, there can be little doubt now of their Icing fallen in with either by his Lordfhip or Admiral COI, LAW:SWOON or perhaps the two joined. RelpeaingtheAntigna convoy,captured by thecom bined fleet when in the Well Indies, we find the fol lowing particulars in the &slam Mercury of the 2gth June, received by a vellel arrived at Liverpool: "His Majefty's (hips GALATEA, Captain MAXWELL; BEAULIEU, Captain ERIN ; and Krworismsa, Cap tain Cares, arrived here this day. By there we learn that on the 27th inft. the KINGFISHER and Omuta , fell in with five French frigates, having charge of the Antigua convoy, which had been taken by the Com. bined Fleet, then about 180 miles to the N. E. of Berbuda. The enemy, upon feeing our hoops of war, inftantly fet fire to the whole captured vefrels, and gave chace to the KING►ISHER, which induced Captain Calais to make fignals, and fire feveral guns, as if to Tome of our !hips a-head—this had the cle ared effea, and the enemy dreading the approach of our fleet, hauled off with great precipitancy to wards the burning veffels, among which, a khooner, apparently an American, was very aaive in remov ing the people, and encouraging the flames; the KINGFISHER and OSPREY proceeded to Antigua with this account, when Captain FAHIL, of the AMELIA, with the gaLATRA, Bk•ut.lEU, and KINGFISHER, proceeded in gnat of the enemy, but unfortunately without meeting them, or we may well judge what would have been the refult." A Mail from Lifbon ((tippled to be bmnght by the DIANA packet) is arrived at Falmouth. She failed on the 3oth ult.; the letters remain at Falmouth to be fumigated, and will be in London to-morrow. We have received French Journals to the 31R ult. and Dutch to the 3d inllant. The contents of the latter are of a complexion fimilar to thofe obtained from the veil captured by Admiral Russet., as we Rated yefterday, but not being In late are lefs parti cular. In the preceding column we have given fuck qtrafts as the French Journals afford. The following are from the Dutch papers : UTIECHT, JULY A—LA Thurfday the 4th bat talion of infantry of the line of the I tth regiment of French troops arrived here from Breda, and after a !hart Ray proceeded for the campt at Zeyil. Yeßerday morning the whole of the imperial gene d'armerie which have been Rationed for a year in this city and the ncighbouring (mall towns, marched to. wards the Helder. The fame morning the firft regiment of artavian infantry from the camp of Zeyit, marched by Hilver furn, and the field battalion of Waldeck marched by Lconen for the HeWer. This day arrived here from Gorinchem, one offi cer, three bombardiers, and twenFy-two cannoneers, of the la battalion of the Batarian cannoneers, who are to be difiributed among other three battalions. This detachment is to proceed to the Helder. Jour 3o.—Laft Sunday morning one battalion of the iSth regiment of French light troops and one bat. talon of the ssth regiment of infantry of the line, !marched for the Helder. Yelterday the zd battalion of Bavarian Chaifeurs alto marched thither from the camp of Zeyll.

This (mall fquadron, as we are informed, will terse as con oy t a number of tranfports, which are to take on board 4000 French troops. It is Paid that the troops are to bz on board before the 4th of next month. AUG. t.—We are informed, that the proceedings againft Rear Admiral DIRKS/ are terminated by the High Military Tribunal, which has fentenced him to be (hot. This fentence is laid to be already approved. LEYDEN, At/G. I.—There is no accurate intelli gence relative to the French flotillas, in their ports and along the coat, except that the preparations continue in the ports with the greateft activity. This is alto the cafe in Holland. Since the 27th of July, ten or eleven regiments, both French and Batavian infantry and cavalry. have pallid Haerlem, betides an aflonitliing quantity of artillery and ammunition, which it going to the Helder without intermiffion.— At the latter place the troops are daily exercifed.— Many troops are alto patting through Amfterdam for the Helder; the embarkation proceeds with great activity, and the (hips muff take provilions for fix months, according to Come accounts. Among the French officers of rank who will affift in the expedi- li from the Texel, is General Rousseau, Comman dant of Rotterdam. We are alto informed that the General in Chief MARMON?, with the Generals St-, BASTIAtiI, DI Victims's, and other Staff Officers, went, at three o'clock in the morning of the 3oth of July, to Driebergen, and thence, as was conjeftured, to the Helder. The camp of Zeyft is nearly evacu ated, add muft,by this day, have broken up entirely. No farther accounts have been received from the Dutch coaft fince chore we communicated yefterday, to which we have only to add, that the force embark. ing at Hclvoet is limed to be 6000 men. Govern. ment, however. have for fume time been expelling fuch movements as have taken place within thefe few days, and have made the neceffary difpofitions to fruflrate the views of the enemy. The Downs fquadron has been reinforced by the Rosy, POI ! Y rorastus, and Paractss or Ottawas. Grips of the line. The accounts refpetting the Rochefort Squadron are in force degree difordant. Our Plymouth letter, of the sth infant, fates, that they failed on Wednef day week, the 24th ult. ; while a letter from the Channel Fleet, if the ad loft. reports, that " the whole of the Rochefort Sqvadron are not out."— Three of them, :t is added, are not to be teen in Rochefort ; and it is therefor; far from certain, wßether they are at fea, or retired into the inner harbour. Ye fierday being the birth-day of the Princes Ara t.t•, her Royal Higlinefs's trades people illuminated their hnufes in the evening. The Right Hon.

Marillal BERNADOTTE, after having completed his military infpeetinn in Hanover, arrived at Harburgh, opptifite the city of Hamburgh, on the 26th ult. M. BIGNON, the French Minder at Wel, has offi cially announced, that he would quit that Court, if Mr. TAYLOR, the Englifit Minifler, should be again received there. Extra& of a Letter from Lieutenant General Nu- Gamy to EDWARD Coons, Elq. dated Jamaica, 6th Jane, tflos :—.‘ The yellow fever has broken out amongfl the feamen of the merchant (hips prepar ing to go to England with the June convoy, partly owing to the crowded flare of the (hipping in come of the confined harbours during the embargo, and partly to the feafnn of the year, the ifland being ge nerally very fickly after the May and oElober rains. We are making uce of every precaution to flop its progrefs and prevent it from fpreading ; but I mention the fubjera to you, that means may be taken on the arrival of the convoy in Europe, to afccrtain the number of men who may die on the pafrage, and the caufes of the deaths, as it is poffible it might other wife he introduced into Gieat Britain or Ireland."

GIBRALTAR, .7 UNE 23. This morning the Beagle brig a war nrrived form Plymouth, in twelve days, with orders for Si. Cs•ic and the expedition, to proceed Ar, thei' ri, nation, whenever Sit Rum's° BIC K tit TON, tri r t i fix fail of the line, arrives to convoy them peal Carina, gena. The expedition has been cruising in fight of the Rock, about fix or eight leagues to the E tilwaid, ever fence the evening of the a Bth, when they left the Bay to avoid being attacked by the enemy's gun boats. The danger mull have been ecernzd im minent, or the expedition would not have adopted this mature ; for the Spaniards had (even or eight fail of the line ready for fea at Carthagena, which might have very much annoyed the fleet, had they received intelligence of the tircurnltance, as the expeditim n had only two frigates and two gun-brigs to pi-mat them. The danger, however, will twin be over, for the Beagle fpoke Sir ittcataao at fea, and he is hour ly expelled here. The MFILIN and Hascrow arrived from a ernize to the Weflward yefterday : the former in coming i n was attacked by three gun-boats under the batteries at Tangiers, and had all her rigging cut to pieces ; fortunately none of the crew were killed or wounded. The Spaniards, it is fuppofed, fuffered tevei dr, as they approached within piflol fhot before they difco. vexed the Must* to be a man of war. The Spa niards have now upwards of iao gun-boats between this place and Cadiz. A vette' that came in here this morning report', that the taw eight fail of the line, four frigates, and ten tranfports, with troops on board, tome days ago, (teeing to the Eaftward. Should this be true, it mull probably be the Car. thagena fleet, with French troops on board, going to Alexandria, to lave our expedition the tiouble of taking that place, which the enemy well know to be their declination. This goes by the AMP); i Tatra, vrhich fikils for Eng. land with the convoy to-morrow. JUNI 25. Yeflerday Sir RICHAULD litccerros, with fl.ur Gtil of the line, paired this to convoy the expedition, which is now lying off Tetuan ; and Sir JAMES CRAIG and his fuite embarked, and failed in the A eitsuscAne fti. gate this day, at twelve o'clock, to join the army Again, which will now immediately proceed to their The AMPNITIITI and convoy faded f nr England on the 23d, but the wind coining Wellerly before they had got through the Cut. they were obliged to returp• agilin ; they are ready to fail the fird fair wind. • We have had so further confirmation of the report of the French having fent a force to take polfellion of Egypt ; fo that we are in hopes it may not be true, though it has excited confiderable alarm here, as, fine Lord •blat.sor quitted . Toulon, which is two months ago, we have had no force till now in the Mediterranwn, during all which time the enemy might have fent as many men to that cottmry as thcy could have found traniports to carry. General Fox has been fo much indifpofed thefe fome days pall, that all public bufinefs is tranlatled by General paussaaosto, the fecond in command. I am happy, however, to fay, that the Faculty do ant think him is any kind of danger. His z.al and exertions to promote the welfare and fecurity this important garrifon are highly meritorious, and Ihould the Date of his health make it necefrary for h;rn to re turn to England, it would be a difficult matter to find a Commander to fill his place, as well qualified in every reliseet as General Fox for fuch an impor• cant trial JUN[ 28. I have great fatistelion in informing you that General Fos is pow much better, and it is hyped will foon be quite well. The garrifon in general is heal thy. The fummer, hitherto, has been remat'obly fine. EXPEDITION UNDER GENERAL CRAIG. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM AN orcictw. ON BOARD SIR JAMSF CRAIG'S EXPEDITION, DATED OFF TE• TUAN, JvNB 24, 1805.
