FRANCE. PARIS, AUGUST 5. The relations of amity which had fubfified be tween the French Republic and the United States 't America had been interrupted. The convention hich renews them is juft ratified by the Ct:t E F CON SUL., and the exchanges of the ratifications by the refpeflive parties have taken place at Paris. The merchants of both countries had already re ' fumed their operations with confidence. The Ame rican flag waved in the ports of France, and that of the Republic was well received in the ports of the ,United States, and the union of the two na tions was a prefage that the two Governments would fpeedily come to a good underflanding. It was like a family quarrel, which fi mple explana tion was fufficient to remove.—Monueur. AUGUST 6. At the ordinary audience of the Arnbaffadors which took place yellerday, the following perfons were prefented to the CHIEF CONSUL; _ _ M.

LEVELER, Colonel of Cavalry. M. MUIRAY, Minifler Plenipotentiary cf the United States, prefented Mr. STORY, Citizen of the United States. A letter from Wefel, of the 3iR of July, Rates, that the Prußian troops in the Margraviates of Anfpach and Bareuth, which have hitherto been on the war eßablifliment, have received permiflion to grant a certain number of furloughs for each company. The two regiments of the InfpeCtion of Magdeburg, which were to march to Franconia, have received counter orders. The finall map zines on the Rhine are to be tranfported to Min den. Thefe Gels totally overthrow the conjec tures refpelting the deftination of the Pruffian re giments of Franconia. tetters from Rotterdam, mention that a va riety of movements have taken place among the troops Rationed on the fouthern coalts of Holland; confiderable reinforcements were expeCted from the interior, which are now on their march to this point. The Englifh Admiral DICKSON, on quitting his Ration near the heights of the IRe of Goree, left Tome fwift failing vellels in that quarter, to watch the motions of the Dutch fquadron fitted out in the ?deuce. The Englith cruifers Rationed at the mouth of the Scheldt have lately captured feveral tithing veffels on the coalls of the iRe of Walche ren ; the enemy queßioned the mailers rcfpeßing the number of troops now collefted in the ifles of Zealand. We learn from Breit, that the Corvette 12 Cite vrette has been cut out of Camaret by the Englifh in the middle of the night, but that the refinance which thole on board her made, is not the leis honourable ; furprifed, without arms, furronnded and attacked at the fame moment, they defended themlelves with a valour truly French; three times were the Englifh repulfed, and it is proved, by the accounts of the wounded, that they were every time dreadfully mauled, although there was but , an handful of men to engage them. The fmall body of Marines on board performed wonders. Captain CIIAISSEREAU did not yield until after having killed or wounded feveral Englifh. The Captain at Arms was not lets diftinguiffied: he is now in the hofpital much wounded, but not, it is thought, dangeroufly. The Officer who com manded the Marines is killed. The Englifh have fent in a Flag of Truce, with the French who were wounded, amounting to 40 in number. It is me lancholy to fee the fituation of them, which, is however, a fufficient proof that the Englith did not owe their prize to the cowardice of the French, but to the artifice which they employed. Taking advantage of the darknefs of the night, they ap proached her in filence, and when at only a fhort diftance, fuddenly ruched on and boarded her, which was not difficult to be done, as three-fourths of the crew were afleep, and thofe on deck un armed. The oars of the Englilb boa/swere muffled. The Englifh were in their shirts and had a black ftrinc on their arms to diltinguJh one another, but notwithaanding thefe precautions, they mull have killed a great number of their own men, as their lofs is greater than ours. The letters from Cadiz of the 14th July, give the following details of the terrible difafter which befell the two Spanifh I!.;ps in the engagement which took place in their ;mirage from Algeziras: " The combined Squadron left Algeziras on the evening of the t:th of July, confining of Five Spanilh (hips r.f the line, Four French line of bat tle (hips, and "lice French and One Spanifh fri gate. The Lnglith, concifling of Five (hips of the hne and a frigate, had failed before them and taken a Ration at a great diftance, in order not to alarm the combined fquadron ; but confufion and diforder had is the very beginning of the night arifen among them. The Hermenegildo fired upon the Formidable French (hip, and killed feve ral, befides wounding 40.—The French Captain ftw the error of the Spaniard, and fheered off in- Read of returning the fire. An Englifh (hip then placed herfelf between the Real Carlos and the Hermenegildo, fired a broad-fide on each fide, and failed away. Thefe two unhappy (hips could not difcern the manoeuvre of the aggreffor, and taking one another for Englifh, began to board, caught fire, and blew up; the Real Carlos firft, and the Hermenegildo twenty minutes afterwards. Thefe explofions produced terrible {hocks, which were felt at Cadiz, at a quarter paR one in the morning, and were millaken at hrft for an earthquake. Of the Real Carlos but one man was faved—of the Hermenegildo about 40. " Thefe beautiful three-deckers were almoft new, and carried 112 guns. They had each of them above I coo men on board. We do not yet know what is the fate of the St. Antonie, but it is feared that fhe has been attacked by the three Englifh (hips, taken and carried into Gibraltar; but thefe are at indent but vague fears. There remains at Algeziras but the Englifh (hip the HANNIBAL, on thine, and taken, but it was impoffible to make it follow, fo bad was its condition." FROM THE PARIS PAPERS. GENOA, July 18.—All the Intelligence received here agrees in (peaking . of the happy difembark ation etreeted by Admiral GANTHEAUME o❑ the coatis of the kingdom of Barca. Letters from Meffina and Ancona, the reports brought by two veffels from Corfica, one of which haoi on board, befides other paffengcrs, General BALLATIkR, con firm this important event. The following details on this fithje& are given in letters from Leghorn, of the 16th of this month :—" The intelligence refpefling the fiiccefs of the expedition of Admiral GANTH EA V M S is hap pily confirmed, both by intelligence received from Corfica and by that from Barbary. This Admiral, after having taken near Candia an Englifh veffel, which he tent for Meffina, continued his courfe towards the coaft .of Barbary. By the way he fell in with the fquadron under Sir JoHN BORLASE WARREN, and found that he was in purfuit of him. He learned by the enemy's fignals that they were preparing for an attack; but as his principal ob jed was to carry fuccours to Egypt, Admiral GANTHEAUME endeavoured to avoid a battle. The weather was favourable to him ; a gale of wind coming on, he loft fight of the enemy and conti nued his voyage. Sir JoHN WARREN having loft this opportunity returned towards Alexandria, to which he fuppoted GANTHEAUME to be bound; but this Admiral arrived at Derna, where he boldly landed 1 0,000 troops, who continued their march to Egypt after taking a little repofe. This intel ligence is confirmed by a merchant velrel arrived from Tripoli in thirteen days, which relates this fait with the following particulars, that the na tives of Barbary, fo far from oppofing the difem barkation, favoured it as much as was neceffary for the fuccefs of the expedition. We learn through the fame channel, that the Englifh !hip taken near Malta made a vigorous refiflance. While fortune feems again to (mile on the French army of the Eaft, the agents of England are always bufy at Naples, Meffina, and Leghorn, in fpreading the moll abfurd news in favour of the Englifh, among which is the arrival of a Greek velrel from Alexandria having on board t 6o French foldiers, being pact of the garrifon of that place, taken, as is (aid, by afrault, on the 26th or 27th of May.—Courier LEG HORN, JULY 17.—Different reports, pone rior to thofe which reached us on the lath and t sth of this month, confirm the news of the debarks• tion effetled by Admiral GANTHEAUME. The news from Porto Fcrrajo are not of fo fa vourable a defcription. This little place continues to make a moll obllinate refinance ; its inhabitants or rather multitude of people from different na tions who arc incorporated with them, keep the place in a mon deplorable fituation, and refute every offer of accommodation made to them. So far, indeed, do they carry this, that they would not even linen to a Tufcan Courier who was fent with a requefl to them to furrender an enjoy the bleflings of peace. On the 14th the French born barded the place very brifkly, and according to re. iport endeavoured to take the place by form, but they failed in their object, the batteries of the be fieged having confiderablydamaged their redoubts and entrenchments. RATIVION, JULY 2g.—ln fpite of the obleurity in which State affairs are involved, and the fpccu lations with which curiofity fupplies itfelf, we be- Fin to believe that the GRAND DUKE will not be indemnified in Italy. His polleffions in Germany are jull on the eve of being allotted to him, and it is Paid that they will confift of the following hates Paffau L'ln-viertel, Freifengen, and Saltzburg.— The Archbifhop of SALTZDVRG has writt en from Vienna that his lot will be decided in a few days. He has farther required that the ref of his move able effects may be kept in a (late of readinefs to be fent to him, while he has requefled the payment of two hundred thoufand florins, which he had ad vanced to the univerfity of Saltzburg. But the documents we are enabled to cone& from this con duCt of the Archhifhop, would afford us very in confiderable light, unlcfs we had at the fame time certain intelligence that the French Government, which polleffes at once the wilh and the power of enforcing the ftrift execution of the treaty of Lu neville, has declared that it has nothing farther to do in the affairs of the late Grand Duke of Tu 5. CANY, and that he will receive his indemnities in Germany agreeably to the flipulations of that treaty. This declaration, which to difinterefted men teems perfeCtly clear, has not appeared in this light to the Miniflers of the Ecclefiallical Princes, uho are guided by the notions of ancient diploma tic conduct, the principal art of which confined in never difclofing one's real thoughts, and in ne ver aging in conformity to one's profef lions. They will never be undeceived till the lag moment, when j the thunder (ball d e f ccn d on t h e i r palaces. LONDON. MONDAY, AUGUST so. PRICE OF STOCKS THIS DAY-AT ONE O'CLOCK 3 per Cent.

" The whole of this affair," his Lordthip obferves, " is of no further confequence than to fhew the enemy that they cannot, with impunity, come out of their ports." We may add, that it ought to ferve as a warning to people at home not to allow themfelves to be cheated out of their fenfes by reports of in vafion, propagated and countenanced by men who have an intereft in fpreading alarm ! There are but too many of them. _ . We learn by our pole letters received this morn• ing, that Lord Nstsow has failed again, not with his fleet, but in the MEDUSA frigate, accompanied with a fingle revenue cutter. A quiet furvey is probably his firft objea. We yefterday received Paris journals to the 7th inftant inclufive. The news of the bombardment of Boulogne does not appear in any of the papers which have reached us. They mention the ratifi cation of the Convention between France and the United States of America; and contain feveral reports refpeaing GANTH EAU M E having landed his troops. The latter report comes from fo many quarters that it feems entitled to fome degree of credit, though it cannot be true that their number was, as Rated, to,ooo men. The news has had the el le& of railing the French funds to 41 —they had been down at 39 and a fra4lion. Our Readers will be amufed with an article from Breit, refpeeling the capture of La Chevrette. In giving accounts of Naval exploits, the French certainly beat us! On Thurfday their MAJESTIES were highly plea ted with the entertainment on board the Fortunee, at Weymouth, given by Lord ASIELIUS BEAU ctEtc. Before breakfaft country dances com menced, the firft led down by Lord A. BEAUCLERC and her Royal Highnefs Princefs AUGUSTA, on the deck, under a canopy confining of the colours of the different nations, the whole of which had a grand effeet. The ROYAL FAMILY came alhore loon after fix, and after partaking of fome refrelh ment at Glouccfter-Lodge, vifited the Theatre. On Friday the ROYAL FAMILY Went to STA CIE'S Rooms, where their MAJE sr! es gave an de gant entertainment in honour of Princes AMELIA'S birth-day. The tables were laid out with great talk, and confißed of every delicacy of the feafon: a number of the Nobility were invited. In the evening her MAJESTY had a fele& party, and gave a private concert. On Saturday the K :Ho, Qy rim, and PRINCES- Us, accompanied by the Duke of Km:- and Prince ADOLPHUS, and their attendants, went on board the Charlotte Yacht; and there being a fine breeze of wind, loon took them out to fea. The Earl ofCssite took his feat on the Chancery Bench in Dublin, on Thurfday fe'nnight, though his Lordfhip arrived from England but on the morning of the day before. The Half pay due to the Officers of his MAjefty's Land Forces, for the half-year ended the 25th of June, 18ot, will commence payment at the Honk Guards on Thurfday next. Among the Ways and Means for the enfuing year, a per tentage arifing gradually from 24 to to percent. is in contemplation, to be laid on the duties now payable on houfes, windows, fervants, horfes, and carriages ; preparatory to which, the Surveyors for the Crown have returned an a. mate of the number of perfons who pay on thole duties from 4s. each to 4001. divided into 16 claffcs. By a late regulation the mode of taxation in England is meant to be introduced into Ireland; there being 6o new Surveyors appointed, who are at prefent under inftruaions for the purpofe. . . The laft aft of the Adminifiration of Marquis CORNWALLIS, was the abolition of the Board of Ordnance of Ireland; which, in confequence of recent orders, has been re-appointed, and on Mon day laft rcfumed its Nations. Government has received accounts from Ireland, that twentv•two regiments of Militia have, to a man, volunteered their fervices to Great Britain, and that the remainder are expeeted immediately to follow this example. The Danifh Weft-India 'Bands having, before our recent conqueft of them, afforded the French means for our annoyance, are, it it is Paid, to be garrifoned by Briti(h troops till the return of peace. The Paris Papers fay the Em PE ROL of GERMA NY has ordered payment to be made of the arrears of interell due to the creditors of of the Imperial Government in Brabant, Holland, Switzerland, the Milanefe, and Genoa.
