However, if the intelligence communicated in the following letter, received this morning, fie well founded, we may loon hope to heat of the prificipal part of them being brought fate into mit own ports. We are ball afraid that the news is too good to prove true ; :" 2.IIIIZANCI. 11411.4 28. The inhabitants of this town were in motion " yefterday evening, in confequence of the agree " able intelligence faid to be brOught by a boat be. longiog to the PLor sit hoop of war, charged with le . clifpatches for Government, that Lord NE LiON had le fallen in with the Combined Fleets, and hid taken " ten fail of the file, four frigates, and one guti brig, " in which Were eight thoufand French troops. The " account gained fuch general credit, that it was " publicly announced at the Theatre, when the per " toi mance ceafed for a time, and the houfe rtfound • ed with ' GOD lave the King,' and Rule Bri- This mdft agreeable intelligence, We hope, e‘ will font hg: conarmed, and that we fhall have the • plcafure of feeing the reported captures pats this " port, Englilh colours hoifled over thole of the " enemy.—P.

The Captain Ilates, that the Dutch fleet, confining of nine fail of the line, moll of them equ:pped and provitioned, were lying at tingle anchor in the Teed, quit► ready to fail on an eipedi tion, at the (Ilona notice. By a Gentleman who left Paris a fortnight fence, we learn, that the general belief of that chi, refped ing ti:e deflination of the French flat, is; that they are bound fcr the Eaft Indies ; and that in the Inte rim a feint will be made againtt Ireland by another rquadron. The fame Gent!eitian left Rotterdam on Monday lan. It was then very currently reported and believed there, that the Toulon and Cadiz fleets bad fallen in with Lord Nst.som, and gained a deci five viaory. There was no poffibiliti dills failing From France, though he had a pals as an American. He was obliged to go through Flanders to Holland, to em. bark there. He was prefent at the coronation of BONATAItiII. Excepting the appearance of the troops, which was very fplendid, every thing was very iaudry, and on ly fit to excite furprize in children. It is now very generally believed that the (hips which failed from Rochefoit on the ill of May, are clamed for the \Veft Indies. They confift of two of eighty guns, a large frigate, and a corvette, and have on board 120 C troops. hate received Parii Journals to the 26th, and Dutch to the 29th infant. The PrA'. 7 :l?. of the 25th, Rates the arrival at Brett from Perient, and other ports, of a great number of tir:ls !Aden witL provifluns for the fleet ; and remarks upon this en curnttance•••-•" Thus it is that our ports bluetaded !" A toter from Leghorn, of the 4th of May, flees the arrival of a Hamburg!) velfel at that port, the =after of which declared, "that on the )sth ult. he fell in with the combined French and Spanifh fleets, confilling of 24 Ihips of the line, to frigates, and 8 corvettes, (leering in a weltern direCtion, with an ex crilEnt wind." This is the only information contained in the French papers refpeaing the fleets ; but a let ter from Madrid of the 7th init. bulls much of the port of Cadiz being perfealy free and open, ever fence the combined fleets obliged the Engla fquadron to raife the blockade of that harbour. Great preparations are making at Boulogne for the reception of BOIYAPAR rE, who was to repair thi ther after his coronation as King of Italy. I.'hece -,:mony took place on the 23d, on which occafion great rejoicings took place at Paris and other ylaces; and all the public buildings, and a great number of private houfes were illuminated. The if:initeur, remarking upon a paragraph in the London papers relative to the orders given Come time fince fur the Weft India fleet to delay its failing from Cork, fays : —lf the Englilh Minifter knows of the arrival of a fquadron in the Weft Indies, he imme direly leaves Ireland unprovided. If he learns that arraber fquadron has failed from the ports of France, he immediately gives counter orders that Ireland (hall not Le left unprotefted. Thus it is that thole impro• ident men fgort with the clanks of their country. I tf they ate invited to make peace, they treat the pro pofal with filence. To gratify the miferable ambition of a Cabinet, they go to war,having nothing to hope and every thing to fear. The day, however, will come, when their ccndutl will be judged, and tIA. iudgment will not fail to be fevere. The Prutian Order of the Eagle has been confer red on the Arch• Chancellor of France. It is confirmed that an attempt has lately been made to affaffinate the DEY of ALGIERS.---JEROME BONAPARTE has ar rived at Genoa. Yefterday Abut half pall two o'clock his MajFsr held, a Levee for the Foreign Ambaffadors, at the Queen's Houfe, which was attended by their Excel lencies the Pruflian,,Danifb, Portuguele, Swedifb, Ruffian, Sardinian, and Hellian Ambafiadors ; the Archbilhop of YORK, the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Dukes of ATHOL and MONTROSE, Marquis FIERT• FORD, Earls KINNOUL, CHATHAM, WESTMORELAND, AYLESFORO, DARTMOUTH, Bucaircuarasulax, and CAMDEN, Viliounts SIDMOUTH and CASTLEREAGH, Lords ARDEN, SOMERVILLE, HAWKESBUR.Y, and EL LINBOROUGH, Sirs WILLIAM SCOTT and G.

A converfation enfued, refpeeting the time for moving the Refolutions againtt the CHANCELLOR of the ESCHEQOER ; during which, Mr. H. Las- CELLES laid, that he himfelf would move to take them into confidcration after the recels, upon an earlier dry, if no other Member of the Committee would. Mr. WHITBREAD put it to the prudence of the Hon. Gentleman, and to the candour of the Houle, whether fuch a proceeding were either cuf tornary or decorous? He had given his notice, and he trulted that the Houle would permit him to choofe the mode and order which he deemed molt expedient for the public good. After a few words from Mr. H. La se t LLES and Mr. Fox, the converfation ended. The mode of receiving a Peer is, that he is at tended from the door of Houle by the Setjeant at Arms, with the Mace, making three obeilances to the Houk ; that a chair is let for him within the Bar, on the left hand, as he enters, in which he fits down covered, the Speaker informing him that there is a chair for his Lnrdthip to repofe himfelf in. When he rifes to (peak in his defence, he fpeaks uncovered. He may be admitted into the Houle as loon as the Member who is to move. the imp eac h ment t ir es . When that Member has • finifhed his fpeech, the Peer gets up, and after he has finifhed, he withdraws making the fame obeifanccs to the Houle; the Ser jcant with the Mace accompanying him to the door. The IA Peer admittrd in the Body of the Hnufe, was Lord BALCARRAS, on the 27th of May, 1779, who was examined relat;ve to Sir WM. Hnwa's conclud in America, and had a chair fet for him within the Bar. ROYAL REVIEW.—His MAJESTY yeflertfay review. erl another divifion of his Volunteer forces within the Metropolis.

Yeßerday 24 prifoners were tried, two of whom were capitally convieed, viz. John 'Troy, for forging, and uttering as true, a 51. note, purporting to be of the Bank of England, with intent to defraud the Governor and Company, and alfo James Kofe. Mr. Rhode, a holier inOrford-Rreet, depofed, that on the 27th of February lag, at four o'clock in the evening, the prifoner came into his !bop, and *wed to purchafe two filk handkerchiefs, for which he was to pay twelve fhillings. He tendered in payment a sl. Bank note. On looking at the note, he thought it was a forgery, and went out of the !hop on pretence, of getting change for it, to confult with a neighbour; who, being of the fame opinion, he brought an officer home with him, and took the prifoner into cullody. The officer proved the arrell. Mr. Thompfon Paid, the Prifoner had come to his (hop in the beginning of February, and had made fome purchafs to the value of ss. 6d. in payment of which he gave a s'l. note, and got the change. He cleared the prifoner to indorfe his name, which he did as John May. It appeared from the evidence Af fome other wit. neffes, that the Prifoner had been fent to a milliner's !hop, to pay for a bonnet which had been befpoke, and, inßead of giving a guinea i t calls, which he had got to pay lot it, he gave a 51. note, and received the difference. Perfons from the Bank attended, and proved that all the notes paired by the Prif3ner were counterfeits, and that the name figned to them was the name of a cafhier who never figned 51. notes. The Prifoner urged in his defence, that he had found the notes, and if he had k nown t h ey were forged, he would not have waited in Mr. Rodes's (bop when he went out of it. Mr. Jutlice Genes rummed up the evidence, and the Jury found him Guilty—Death. Ann Percy, alias Carders, for flealing in ready fur: nithed lodgings, two theets, and the entire furniture of a bed, the property of Penelope Drumm lnd. It appeared that the Profecutrix lived in Lower Chapel-Street, St. George's in the Etat, and that crt the t 3th of April the Pt ifoner came to her to hire her lodgings. They agreed co the pr ice, but the Profecu trix withing to have a refereace, the Prifoner went away, Paying, the did not know any perfon in town, having only come that day from Sunderland with her litilband. In a thort time after the returned, and Paid, the had been introduced to a perfon to whom the could refer her, and mentioned Mr. Pilkingtnn, of Cornhill. She then complained of being very much tired. and beg ged leave to go up flairs and Lay down for an hour. The Stairs Profecutrix then went to Cornhill to enquire the charafter of her lodger from Mr. Pil kington, but no fuch perfon could be found there.— On her return home, the learned from a friend of her's, whom the left in the houfe, that the Prifoner had gone out about an hour before, and laid the would return in a Ikon time. When the went up ftairs, the found the bed had been Stripped of the theets and furniture. She then lodged information againft the Prifoner. who was loon apprehended, and the duplicates of the Stolen property traced to a Jew who had bought them. The Jury immediately found her Guil ty --Death. There were three other indietments againfi the Pri. Toner for offences of the fame nature ; but the event of the firft made it unnecefary to try her on any other. Sixteen were convidled of felony. Yelterday the Rscoanc a made a Report to his Ma.
