The news they contain is not of a pleafant nature, for they announce the cap ture of another Britifh (hip of 14 guns, the SwITT EORR, Capt: HALLOWELL. This capture teas made by GARTHIAL/Sia'S fquadron, on the 24th of June, betwten Candia and Egypt. On the morning of .that day, the French fquadron defcried the (hip, and a general elt4ltbok place, in Which the lupe riority of their failing eflabied the enemy to come up with her. The Indiviflble and the Diz.Anut en gaged her for an hour withiri Inisfquet That, after 1 which the that. To fight fothrtibr a three for in long a time is pionf fufficient that the Bivar- sulk was no eafy capture; but we cannot conceiie how this veffel, Admiral BICKERTON'S flag-(hip, fhould thus have been found alone. GAN THEALIME manned his prize with detachments of tailors from the reit of his Iquadron, after giving her the neceffiey repairs. The French (late their lots as very fmall. From the latitude in which GANTiIEAURIE was at the time of the anion with the Sir; Frames there can be no doubt that he was on his way, or was teturning after the attempt, to relieve Melon!, on one point or other. The date of the aaion, which was the 24th June, however, leaves the re port of his having landed at Derna queftionable, unlefs he was dub upon his return, which is not impoffible ; for it,is hated that on the 4th of July, a veal from Briftol, going to Egypt, was taken by him. Should this prove to be fa& it Teems probable that the rrepch Admiral may have land ed his troops (Otte where on the coal of Africa, and left them' to find their way to Alexandria or Cairo, in any manner:they can. We are extremely forry to find that Admiral Laois will .be able to effea his efcape from Al geciras tof-adic. On the gth July the Spanilh Admiral Waste°, with five (hips of the line, and the ' French Admiral DUSIONOIR, with fevers! French Nits, 'arrived in the Bay of Algeciras to join Laws, and convoy him with his prize to Ca diz. We fear. shat.the fquadron we have at Gib raltar will not he fnfficient to oppofe this combined force, partietthuoly o f the -( hips arbor Sir J. SAWN*. a E z's command - have rut/erect fo Much in the late • aaion as the Moniksr reprefents. The Posting it Teems was the veal which was refcued from fall ing into the hands of the enemy by the gnn boats from Gibraltar. She and another are raid to he abfolutely unfit for ferries, and the reit were injur ed fo much that they were towed into Gibraltar. We - confers that the efcape of Admiral Laois has dilappointed us. We did not imagine that the Spaniards would hiye sfifplayed fo much promp titude in corps so the'rellef of their Allies: Nei • thee did we thin& that the reit of Sir Janes &tonn es z'S fquadron had been fo much damaged, though to clear up this, and all the circumilances of the a9ion, we art very impatient for our own official accounts. The /Irmiteerhas again come forward to contra• diet a number of reports, Which have been circu lating on the Continent, and once more agues its readers that there is not the leak probabilky of the renewal of the war. The rumours of warlike pre parations in the Imperial Dominions or in. Italy, on the tide of the French, &c. &c. are declared to be falfe. Even the report of hoffilities com mitted by the Auferiatu againft the Eleaor of Bavaria in the Upper Palatinate are declared to be without foundation, though that invafion, mentioned its all the foreign papers, certainly took place. AU there rumours are Imputed to the machinations of this country, and the Moniteur takes occafion to throw out a number of refleaions on the condor; of this country in blowing the flames of war, which arc not in the fpirit of peace but en tirely in the fpirit of certain Papers here. The French Entirety to Vienna is now officially appointed. CNAMPACINT Counfellor of State, and formerly an o ffi cer in th e navy,. is to be thd Ant balrador. The quarterly lilt of Counfellors of State is publithed, in which there are a few altera tions, General Sr. SUSANNL and MATNISU Du mas, author of the Precis At: avenentost tali:air", are added to the War Department; and Botanical, • &NA AAAA a's private Secretary, is made Counfel• hor of State in extraordinary fervice. This morning we received the Paris papers of the ssth init. but they bring hardly any thing in addition to what we have already noticed. The Hamburgh Mail due yefierday, arrived this morning; and the news which it brings, if it could be implicitly relied upon, is of great impor tAnt.2. We have had the mortification to be obli -14,:d to record the fuccefs of the enemy in captur 11,z two of our chips of the line; but letters from ViLamt, of the t ith infant, bring reports of our 1 0 4 wader the athw and :game ADMIR4I.

INVASION. In all the counties moil expofed to the medita -ed attempts of Invafion, the civil and military tuthorities have, under th e dire Lion of Govern ment, been anxioufly employed in concerting mea ures of defence, and arranging a plan of opera tions, in cafe it &mild aattally take place. Authority to profs in the city was given by the "nlirt of Aldermen, in confequence of the appli cation of Government. A perfon from Minifiers "auted on the Loan MAYOR, and informed him that they had reafon to believe that the enemy in tended to attempt an immediate defeent, In confe quence of which it was defirable that every means to add to the defence of the country with expedi tion and effea thould be adopted. Permißion was accordingly obtained, and it is faid that no lets than tyoo valuable hands have been procured. A camp of tyooo men is to be formed at Chat ham in a centrical point, from which the troops may be marched to any quarter where their Cer vices may be requited. The Lord Lieutenant of the County of Norfolk, on Friday iltied orders for convening *General Meeting of Lieutenancy, at the Shire-houfe, ,on Tuelday next, in ordef to fubmit to the Deputy.

Lord Euston, Lord Lieutenant of Suffolk, has addreffed a note to the Clerk of the County, re quelling the Volunteer Corps in Suffolk to be in readinefs td affemble on the ihortell notice, at their ufual places of trndezvous, in the event of aEtnal invafion. This note has been circulated through out the eouny. The Magistrates of Suffolk have ordered that parilli returns and appointmehtt df infpeEtors of waggons, captains of pioneers, porn conduElors, and agents of millers be immediately made and have convened meetings at Ipfwich, Bury, Bee ' des, Yoxford, Woodbridge, &c. for this purpofe, and for afcertaining the entire volunteer force of the dittrid. At this important crifis, the public will hear with fittisfaCtion, that Lord Nesson is appointed. to the command of the North Sea Fleet. He leaves town this day. Admirals GRAVFS and Torry ferve under him. The Marquis COKNWALLts received a letter from the Duke of Yoga, on Saturday, requefting his Lordthip to take the command of the Eaftern Dif tria."

We arc &fired, from the moll refpedable au thority, to infert, that wheat fell in our Market this day 21. 16s. per quarter, upon a fair average ; a much greater recludion in one day than was ever remembered by any perfon now living, though not unexampled in the annals of binary ; for Fleet wood, in his Chronieva Preeiefurn, Pays,—" In li t3t 7, harvell was all hoofed before the firft of Septembers and that wheat that fold at Tome placts for 41. a quarter, loon fell to 6s. 6d. a var ier, and that oats that had fold for 31. os. 4d. a quarter, foon fell to ss. 4d. At Leicefter on a Saturday wheat was fold at 21. 14s. a quarter, and on the Friday following it was fold at 14s. a quarter." At Newbury, -we hear, wheat fell the lall mar ket-day, full 51. per load ; and new potatoes, of the Snell fort, were fold, in waggon loads, at 3d. per gallon, and afterwards offered at the moderate price of tad. per bufhel by retail. At Dublin, on Wednefday, for the firfl time this feafon, new oats were brought to Thomas. flreet Market, from the lands of S. H. MORGAN, Efq. of Ann-Mount, County of Dublin. They were of an excellent quality. The harvell has already commenced in various parts of the country with great promife. Wheat was cut fcveral days fence in the neighbourhood of Walham-Green, and about Colubrook, Windfor, Exeter, Brighton, Thetford, Cambridge, and in various direlions the wheat harveft has partially commenced. The Wheat Harvell is beg ' begun in the neighbour hood of Windfor, and there i s a great profpea of the moll abunda nt Crops. The late forms did fornc partial damage, but, in general, all defcrip tions of Grain prornife to yield confiderably be y on d the iwodua of leveret precedin years. If there the weather continues favourable, will.be new wheat, in fame of the provincial markets, in aboet a week's time. A 'sedan named Patrick Macnamara, of Park, county Limerick, on the tft this month, reaped one of.the fineft crops of barley that ever was re membered in that neighbourhood, produced from the corn that filed left year, without the leaf pre ' pa ration of ploughing or harrowing, and the new corn produced is likewife remarkably large in the grain. New Barley was cut on Monday laft at Lither land, near Liverpool. New barley was fold in Cardigan market, on the nth inftant : and the very abundant crops throughout Wales have occafioned a confiderable fall in the price of that article. The price of hops has been fo lowered of late, that the fame quantity which colt al. fome time fence, may now be bought any where for 61. The magiftrates of the Ifle of Wight have ob tained from the Lords of the Admiralty an order for the protetilion of all labourers, not feamen, from insprefs, who may pats to that ifland for the purpoCe of affifting in the harveft, which has coin- Mewed in feverar places.
