Commercial operations and the money tranfadions of Banks are fo intimately conflated with political events, that it is fufficient in many cafes to watch the two former, in order to form an opinion of the latter. Thus the Courfe of Exchange at London has ferved is an index, in the min of conjedures more or lefs vague, which have for a long tome afforded food for public eurinfity refpeding the fublidies faid to be deftined by the Engliffi Government for certain Powers on the Continent. Was any one defirous of knowing whether there was any truth in the reports of money being tranfmitted to the Continent for this purpofe ?-=--It was eafy to canfult the lilt of the Lon. don Exchange, and if it was found inconfillent with the natural pofition of commerce, it was reafonable to conclude that the Englifh Minifler was making ex traordinary payments abroad. The Notes which have' been made on this fubjed plainly (hew that fuck payments were made in the month of January, the Cowie of Exchange being, during that and the fol lowing month, per Cent. Ids in favour of England than in the preceding months, though that was the feafon in which England had a balance to receive on the annual accounts current between her manufadu rers and the merchants of the Continent. From a series of obfervations of this kind, it ap pears almon certain, that from the period we have mentioned, the Engiilh Government has continued to tranfmit money to foreign countries, folely for po litical pitrpofes. In fed, from the commencement of March to the end of April, the Exchange on Lon don did not rife above I per Cent. though the fair of Frankfort was held in the interval, which creates every year a great demand for bills on London, to pay for the &kith merchandize difpofed of at that mart. Tie lunation of the Exchange during the months of May. June, and July, difplayed fimilar fymptoms ; that is to fay, it remained nearly at the fame rate, without riling ahalf per Cent nntwithfiand ing the immenfe returns which, according to the na tural courfe of commerce, mull have been made in paper ta American merchants in London, in pay ment of more than 200 cargoes of India merchan dim and Colonial produaions which they had im ported into Holland and the neutral Ports during three months. Thefe eircumftanees mull have reifed the Exchange very confiderably in favour ot Eng land, if the had not at the fame time been making large remittances for an objea altogether foreign to commerce. If we now compare all there faas,and follow the ob fervations on the Rate of Exchange up to the prefent moment, we may conclude with certainty—ill, That the En&liffi Government has tranfrnitred funds to the Continent during the months of January and Febru ary, since the rate of Exchange decreafed during that period.--ad. That the remittances were continued during the months of March, April, May, and June, !ince the Exchange remained all that time below the proportion to ilia it fhould have been raifcd by the natural tendency of commerce, as the great files ' made on the Continent during that period rendered remittances to England indifeenfable.-3d, That fimilar operations have taken place during the months of July and Auguft, fince the Exchange has fallen as low as it was at the end of February. SEPT'. 24.—The Engin Minifterial Journalifis, (lays the Gazette de Franc; of the at ft of September) continue to amufe their readers with all the hillories of infutieetitms which come into their heads. Ac - cording to then, all the F.'ench armies are in a (fate of revolt againft their commanders, and boldly threaten to give up France to any power that chutes to take poffeflian of it. To the above is fubjoined the following note : es Poor gudgeons ! they are ill informed concerning the fpir it which reigns among the French troops. If they knew with what fentiments and difpofitions they are animated, they would find a great miftake in their calculations. The only thing which they find it difficult to endure, is the repofe of camps ; and if there were a cafe in which they could cxprefs content, it would not affuredly be with occurrences that appear likely to roufe them from their inactivity. It is probably the good difpofitions manifefied by ;he Englifh Volunteers, that infpire the politicians of London with dreams to analagous to the military Writ which difiinguifites the French trpops."—geir nal de France.

Notwithßanding this affurance, the infurgentshave not thought it ne ceffary to abandon the fyftem of prudence which has always regulated their cnndua ; they have declared to Avus Aga, that they will confent to his paffage, provided he fends back the greateft part of bistrnops and retains only zoo men.

An attempt, it appears by our Deal and Dover louts, has been made at Boulogne, to cut out and defirey Tome of the enemy's flotilla, in which one man was killed and another wounded. The accounts, however, as yet received, are very contradidory. A confiderable relaxation has taken place within thefe few days in fume of our war equipments, and a number of workmen have been difcharged. This circumflance has given rife, in fome circles, to an opinion that certainly fome kind of negotiation for peace is now on foot, in which Pruffia asts the office of Mediator. We believe, however, that there is no ground whatever for this rumour. A better reafon may be affigned for fufpending the equipments to which we have alluded. The Emperors of Ruffle and Auttria have, we underhand, notified to our' Court, that if the money intended to be laid out in certain attempts on our part be furnilhed to them, they can, with the fame means, bring much more powerful forces into the field than could pollibly be accomplifhed by an expenditure to the fame amount in this country. The intelligence which we Rated on Wednefday latl on the authority of a letter from Vienna of a Ruffian force having arrived at Naples, is confirmed by a letter received yellerday from Venice of the date of the 9th ult. which Rates, that on the zoth of An glia a force of 15,000 Ruffians landed at Naples, which were immediately marched to affift in the defence of the North.wellern frontier, threatened by the French, while General CRAIG was expelled hourly with Soon men from Mirka to garrifon the ca pital, by invitation from his Sicilian Maidly. Private letters from Holland of the 28th and 29th ult. Rate that the merchants entertain hopes of being ere long allowed to renew their commercial inter ' courfc with England, as they are already permitted to receive from this country frict articles as are the produce of other States ; and the manufaaured goods of England, it is raid, are henceforward to be allowed to be imported into Holland, on payment of a duty of fevers and a half per cent. This permiCGon, it is added, has already been aped upon by the Dutch Merchants, who have, in confcquence of it, fent or- Iders to their correfpondents in London to a very confiderable amount.

The Prineefs SOPHIA of Ciloucefter is expeaed this evening. The rural (ports yefterday in Mrs. Barrow's field attracted a great concourfe of people. They cam. menced with the combat at tingle (lick. A butcher of this place proved the champion ; at firft having broke the heads of three who attacked him, without having received a blow on the head himfelf ; but the fourth, who wasa granger, a Lancathire man, ran away with the laurels ; for, at the Orli fet to, he broke the butcher's head ; a Weft countryman, and a lhoemaker, likewife attacked him, but be foon broke their heads, without their having ary chance with him. No other candidate durft attack him, which entitled him to both the prises of four guineas and two guineas. The poney races followed, and afforded force excellent (pore. The neat amafe ment was a foot race, for Tailor's jackets, at the dil. tance of aoo yards ; the running of the jack tars af forded excellent amnfement. The laft (port an nounced was a race by females, for a holland fmock, but no fair danifd appearing as a candidate, the prize was not difpofed of. Mr. PITT, accompanied by Lady HESTER Stats HOPI, left town yefterday afternoon for Walmer cattle. He flept laft night at the Crown, Rochetler.

Yellerday at noon his Royal Highnefs the Duke of Yolks arrived at Chatham, accompanied by Gene ral Donnas, and feveral other General Officers, to review the iQ Regiment of Foot Guards, of which he has got the command. vacant by the death of the late Duke of Gsoucarraa. The Regiment, crinfitt. ing of zOOO men, went through the different move ments in a Rile of excellence with which the Duke expreffed himfelf highly pleafed. The Officers gave a fumptunus dinner to the Duke and the neighbour ing Nobility, and a ball in the evening. This fine body of men are to hold themfelves in readinefs for embarking at a moment's notice. On Thutfday their Royal Highneffes the Dukes of Yoas and CAMBILIDGI arrived at EaR Bourne, and dined with a felea number of the Nobility at the elegant manfion of Lord G. CAYBIIOIIII ; and on Friday morning the Commander in Chief, mom. panied by his Royal Brothers, the Earl of Cm- Rau, General Dow, and feveral other diftingnithed military eharafters, reviewed on Beachy Head the fe. veral troops encamped. and in barracks and cantor. ments in that neighbourhood. The day was very fine, and the evolutions of the troops prefcnted a very grand fight to a great number of beholders. Among the company prefent we obferved the Duke and Du chefs of DOILSIT, Lord WHITWORTH, Countefs of CHATHAM, Lord G. and Lady CAVENDISH, Lady C•LTHORPS, Lady BALRINGTON, Lady Emir. La dy LOWTHER, &c.

It is reported that they have had the temerity to attack a French lugger built pri vateer, which lately made its appearance on the coati. and attempted to board her. The cog:- quence of this raft) determination was the deftruaion of the principal part of their fquadron. It mutt be matter of fatisfaaion to the friends of humanity to learn that the inaances of mortalirT and illncfs on board country (hips from India to En3land appear to be rapidly decreafing, in confequence of the regulations which have been adopted by the Born. bay Goven nment, for fecuring their better treatment, and medical affillance.
