Yetlerday the Hamburgh mail arrived, which became due ; and in the fame packet Mr. Av cr s- WORTH, one of his MajAy's Meffengers, arrived difpatches from Vienna and Berlin. Their contents have not tranfpirt.d, but are believed chiefly to relate to the Turkilh intelligence, refpeft log the fall of Cairo, of which we may hourly ex peft a confirmation, with farther particulars, from General Hercrt /UM The German Papers afrure us of the truth of the news from Conftantinople, but without farther details or accounts through any other channel. The Hamburgh Gazette of the Loth in R. Elates, that the CH ler Com sot. has expunged the name of GANTHEAUME from the lift of Counfellors of State ; for not having obeyed his exprefs order to land the troops, entrufted to his care, on the coall of Egypt. It is fingular that fuch a circumflan&, ill true, fhould firs t tranfpire through a Hamburgh Journal. It is not however altogether unworthy of credit on that account. Yefterday we alto received Paris Journals to the 12th inft. inclufive, and this morning thofe of the lath. The molt important article in them relates to the harveft. Our readers in general will rejoice on being informed that the abundant harveft with which PROVIDENCE has bleft us, has not been limited to this country. In trance they eftimate the crop at one-third more than that of Taft year, which was alto abundant. In their corn pro vinces the harveli is almoft over, though it ap pears that they have bad a good deal of rain in the fouthern diftrils. The French journalifts begin at length to fpeak of GANTHE•USIL'S expedition as being hopelefs. The papers contain feveral rumours refpeeting him, the moft important and moft probable of which is, that though he got within 6o or 70 miles of Alexandria, he only got one veffel fent in, and could not land his troops. The natives on dif ferent parts of the coati threatened oppofition, and be has failed in his objeft. We may therefore loon expeet to hcar of the fall of Alexandria. If we may croft to the reports of private cone fpondence from France, till , fcems alfo to be the opinion of the CHIST CONSUL himfelf; for the ru mour is, that trotting no longer to the poffeffion of Egypt, as a ground for demanding the reftitu lion of all the conquefts we have made from the allies of the French Republic, he has, within the laft ten days, offered a new projdt of accommo dation to the Britifh Minifter, more likely to con ciliate the two nations. We pretend not, however, to Rate this fad upon any other authority than that of the letters from Paris, upon which the rumour has been freely circulated here for feveral days. The frequent interchange of difpatches gives fome countenance to the idea that the negociation has not abated through our (menacing prepara tions for the attack of the French coati; and it mull be obvious, that if the twoparties are aduatcd 1;y the genuine love of peace, the late events in Egypt, and particularly the fall of Cairo, muft facilitate the negociation. It removes the flrongeft impediment that exifled to a good underflanding; fore even the doubtful power, which the French had acquired there, would have entitled them to make demands highly inconfiftent with the comma - - sial avarice at lean, if not with the juft policy, of F.iglard to grant. There can nolonger be a pretence thr fuch demands; but, on the other fide, if our ;'rcat, and, perhaps, unexpected fuccefs in Egypt, !hall fo tar intoxicate our Minifters as to make tl , e m rife in their terms with the fleeting fortune •of the day, the triumphs of our brave and gallant a; my in Egypt will be the fource only of protrad c.l holility and national misfortune. The mo most that the two belligerent powers (hall agree on this fundamental point, that the two Governments r'.ly be co-exillent, and mutually fecure, all lair toididerations ought to fly before the force of ree f 1 for no difference as to the amount of acqui ! ian in one quarter of the globe, or of facrifice La another, can be equal to the calamity of another /car of war and taxes. Phi• morning a Mail arrived from Lifbon, by th;ch we learn that a brilliant illumination took place in that capital in confequence of Peace be ' -cal Spain and Portugal having been proclaimed. The letters by this Mail agree in Rating that a bugle fomewhat warlike Rill continues, and fome of them afcribe it to apprehenflons entertained ref peeling the French troops which Rill remain on the frontiers of Portugal. When the packet failed there were even reports, that 12,000 men were about to march againft Lifbon. We fubjoin a let ter from an Englifh Gentleman in that city, whofe account of the movements, and of the motives which occafion them, feems likely to be more correa than any of the preceding : " LISBON, JULY 24. " The peace with Spain has been celebrated hire with three days illuminations, and every de mon Oration of joy. Preparations,, however, are (till carried on with an alacrity ;mutual in the Por tugueze, and unprecedented in the courfc of this war ; upwards of gOOO men having been preffed within thefe four days for the Navy : this together with the profound fecrecy obferved refpeding the terms agreed upon between the two Courts, gives rife to various conjedures ; fome imagine that it is deflined for the defence of their Brazil Colonies, others to repel any attempt of the French from the Spanifh ports to take poll - elion of the Forts and Shipping in this River by a Coup de main : whate ever may be the object, their men of war, which have been in a difmalled Rate ever fince their re turn from Naples, are now getting ready with all poffible difpatch ; but it is to be hoped that mea lures are already taken by the Britilh Government to counteract any Snifter view on the part of this Country, either to allift our enemies openly with their naval force, or clandellinely permit them to take poffellion of it in the prefent defencelefs Rate of this port." LORD NELSON's. SQUADRON. On Saturday we announced his Lordfhip's ar- riVal off Boulogne, and that an opinion was enter tained at Dover, that a fecond bombardment would immediately take place. The DISPATCH Cutter arrived off Dover late on Saturday night, but owing to the tide could not get into harbour till three o'clock yefterday morning. When the left Lord hitt.soN's flotilla, which then lay at anchor about four miles off from the enemy, nothing had been done ; but the failors relate that from eleven at night, till three iu the morning, they obferved a conftant firing off Boulogne, and could now and then, though feldom, hear the report of a gun. Some people on the heights above Dover alto faw the flafhes, but the wind was in a bad point for hearing well. The enemy had twenty-fix gun-veffels, brig, fchooner, and lugger I rigged, moored off Boulogne. Owing to calms and indifferent winds, no news had reached Dover when the Poll came away laft night ; but 11 cutters and a frigate, belonging to Lord NELSON'S fquadron, were then in fight from the coaft of France. Government, however, received by ezprefs this morning, force account of the Noble Admiral's proceedings e which it is hoped will loon be made public. This will be the more neceffary to quiet the apprehenfions of the public, as the report% in cir culation rcfpetling the iffue of the bombardment are not of the molt pleafing nature. If we can truft our information, we have loft feveral of our gun-boats, which are now prizes in Boulogne, and fuffered fome other damage. A confiderable number of our brave tars have, it is laid, been killed and wounded, and among the latter, Cap tain PARKER, the Admiral's Secretary. Other particulars have been (fated to us, which we forbear to mention ; as we hope that not only they, but the greater part of the above will prove unfounded. Our Readers will recoiled :low many vague ru mours were circulated refpeßing the former bom bardment and it is but reafonable to hope that the bad news may prove unfounded, or at any rate exaggerated. Nay, even if Lord NLLSON (hould have loft every one of his flat-bottOmed boats, it is poifible he may have donc fuch an injury to the enemy as will more than counterbalance it. The lofs of a few flat-bottomed boats is, at the worn, but a trivial •natter, and we Mall hope that of the men has been much beneath what rumour Dates. Marquis CORNWALLI s has affembled at Colchef. ter and its vicinage 8000 infantry, one regiment of cavalry, and thirty pieces of field ordnance, with howitzers, Bcc. The Duke of Mxxxsokouoi4, as Lord Lieute nant of Oxford, and Lord Eu STOP., as Lord Lieu- tenant of Suffolk, have ordered fuch of the Sup plementary Militia of that county to alembic as had not enlifled in the regiments of the line. The Duke of ANCASTER convened the Deputy Lieutenants of Lincolnthire at Lincoln, on Tuef day,forthepurpofe of carrying into die& the mea.. lures propofed by Government for the defence of the county in the event of invafion. The Saint James's Loyal Volunteers held their anniverfary on Friday. They affembled on Parade at ten o'clock, proceeded from thence to the Affemblyhoufe, Kentifh•town, to fire with ball carttidge for an elegant filver cup, where they re. frethed with a cold collation. They afterwards dined at Wittis's. CORN 111ARKL*TS.

CALCUTTA, JANUARY 21. A Rout French privateer, laid to have been fit red out at the Mauritius, has, notwithltanding the vigilance of our cruizers, made her appearince in Ballafore Road, where fhe has captured a pilot ichooner, and caufed confiderable alarm among the coaffing traders. Letters from Tranquebar mention the arrival of a velfel at that place from the Ifle of France, which the left on the rfith of November. By this convey ance,intelligence isreceived that laConfiance,Capt. &MCI/LIFT, with his priee,the K r NT, reached Mau ritius in fafety early in the month of November.— The cartel le Liherateur, difpatched from this port in June laft, bad likewife art ived, after a paGge of five months, conveying thither feveral of the prifoners captured in la Forte, whole commanding officer, it is laid, has been tried by a Court Manual for the lofs of the frigate,and honourably acquiucel, upon the grounds of the very fiiperior force of her opponent, la Sybille. A corvette had likewife ar rived from France, announcing an intended fuc cottr to the ifland, of a refpedablc body of troops, accompanied by a new let of Commiffariec, with extraordinary powers. The BENG A L Indianian, recently arrived from India, loft Mr. MITCH ELL, her third officer, fhortly after her quitting Eng land, on her outward-bound pairage, tinder the following circumflances :—Mr. MITCHELL, while employed in fuperintending the flowage of the cables in the tier, found himfelf much interrupted by the interference of the (hip's poulterer, who, inßead of repairing to his allotted nation on the gun-deck, rriatel in taking a (hare of duty for which he was by no means qualified. lifter va rious orders to quit the place, totally difregarded by the intruder, the officer was proceeding to en force them in a more compulfory mode, when the other fuddenly drawing his knife, aimed it with great violence at his heart ; as it fell upon the ribs, the knif: did not then penetrate, but he im mediately made another and more fuccefful flab, which entering the ttomach, proved mortal. The murderer was feizec!, and has been ever lince in rens on board the BENGAL. A letter from New Providence, dated the toth June, announces the arrival there, on the preceding Wednefday, of the TOPAZ', of 38 guns, Captaia CHURCH, with a Spani(h brig, of 14 is-pounders, having a large Cum of money and a very valuable cargo on board. We are happy in being able to cor red the report ofCapt.Cxuacxhavingpeenwound. cd in the anion with the Spanifh (hips off the Mayan nab. In that very gallant enterprise, the apanifli fhip of 74 guns, to which the TOPA Z 6 gave chase, was contented to fire her (tern chafers, bring un willing to lofe time by luffing up for a broadfide. The appearance of the Titi sea might poffibly have contributed to impofe this prudent line of conduit on the Spanifh Commander; but it is a fad which we alien with pride, that the ToPAzs alone chafed the enemy for feveral hours, greatly annoying him in the purfuit, and finally compelling him to leek fafety in his harbour, and, as our people learned by a vac' from the Havannah, having killed and wounded feveral of his crew.
