The former to the tit!), and the latter to the sIR l ira. came to hand la& night. The arrival of there papers contradias the rs• port, communicated yeßerday week to the Co.. 'Tames frigate by the American ireffel off Cherbourg. Neither in the official nor any other paper is there the ffighteft mention of a treaty of any kind be tween the Porte and France. The French paper., in deed, as well as the German, reprefent the firß of thefe Powers as affembling and organizing an im weenie military force; but without Rating for what purpofe. It is, however, snore than probable, that the American had heard fomething of a French force preparing for Tome Eisner° expedition, as Rated In feveral letters from the Continent, and only em• ieSflxd his account a little! The French influence certainly feems to be gaining ground in Conftantino pie, and no confequence that can follow fuch a change of fentiment will furprife any one, who has at all contemplated the wonderful events which Europe bas witneffed within the laR twelve months. Should the Pores, however, proceed all the length which trench counfels may advife, in the end the contell 'I not be for the poffeffion of Egypt only, but who !bait • obtain the largeft Aare of Turkey itfelf.

It is a curious cirrnmflance to obferve, that fcarcely had M. d'Oustsz. reached Paris, when the Menikur dire/led a furious attack againß the ambition and tyranny of Ruffia, under the convenient form of in telligence from Canllantinople. Such a dire& attack upon Ruffia would never have appeared in the Official Paper, except at the exprefs deilre of the French Government.

There is no truth in the 'report of Cattaro having been faired By a &kith forte. . AMERICAN PAPERS. American Journals to the 211tjese have been re• ceived.

On Friday fe'nnight, a barn at Framlingjiitm, in Suffolk, belonging to S. Kilderbee. Efq. of Ipeorich, was burnt down by the lightning. Scarcely a day has paired fierce the above-men tioned, without fame revere tempeft, in one part or other of the fame county. On Thurfday fe'nnight, twelve lambs, grazing in a field belonging to Mr. Thomas Parfons, of Great Barton, were (truck dead. And on Monday the form feemed to have been one of the moll extraordinary ever remembered in that part of the ifland. From a quarter pall one, for three hours, the fky was uniformly and deeply clouded, and the rain and hail, with few and limit intervals, came down in torrents. A mare, in a paf tore belonging to Mr. Beeton, of Hardwicke, was (truck dead under a tree, which was alto fhivered to pieces; a poplar ire:, in the meadows near Stam ford Bridge, which Rands between two flacks of hay and clover, was (tripped , of its bark, and nearly fplit in halves, bnt not thrown down, and molt probablx, by its attratlion, preferved the flacks from fire. ft Yetierday, loon after two o'clock, one of the molt terrific (forms of thunder, lightning, and rain, which has ever been experienced, commenced in the me tropolis.--"Phe wind blew a bra breeze from the S.

The in tervening periods of time between the different &Iles of lightning, feldrim exceeded two or three minutes duration. for the (pace of an hour, at the termination of which tie eleetric fluid teemed exhautled, as nearly the laft clap of :Minder and flails of lightning were as fevere as any that preceded them. The lightning was uncommonly vivid, and famed to descend along with the Hail and Rain in torrents. At the hnufe of Meffis. Hodfon and Sterling, bankers in the Strand. two fervants were dallied from a front window to the oppofite fide of the room. Their hair was ringed, but they received no material injury. A man was (truck with the lightning in Drury-lane, and carried to the (hop of Mr. Skillet, but he did not futlain any material injury. Part of the elearic matter fell near the Ship public-honfe, London Bridge, into the Thames, and fltivtred one of the polls where the mooring chains of the barges are fixed, to pieces. The malts of fe. veral (hips in the River were (Livered from top to bottom. A number of trees were (truck by the light ning at Lambeth, and the foundations of feveral new buildings were completely undermined and detirnyed. —The rain fell in fuch torrents as to refemble in a great degree thole " periodical defcents of the deluge" fo common in the Weft Indies.

It was not till after four o'clock that the violence of the rain fubfided. It recommenced this morning, betv.Tenone and two o'clock.and poured down in torrents for a cnnfiderable time.
