It is currently reported this day in the City, that Lord HoLLaso has left London for Paris. We have not been able to afeertain that the report is well founded. the French Admiral Vti.LISFIPr and five other Officers, failed from Plymouth on Wednefday laft, in a cartel for France. This may be confidered as merely the prelude of the departure of a great num ber more ; for it is now underßood, whatever other objea the late Flags of Truce might alfo relate to, that they have led to the adjultment cf a regular cartel, on the principle of exchanging man for man, referring, however, for future difeuffion, the new and unjuft pretenfion of the French Government to con fider and treat the perfons detained in France as pri toners of war. For the prefent thofe perfuns, who are not very numerous, will be exchanged man for man. 'Dry will be refeued from a molt dillreffing fituation, and betides, a number of valuable Britilh feamen, now prifuners in France, will be reflored to their country. The number of French prifoners here is about tB,OOO, while oat's, including thofe at Ver dun, are under 7000. There will Rill remain a ba lance of t Imo° French here. Thus while the unjufl principle afferted by France remains unrecognized, the advantage of a Cartel, the neceflity of which had, in the eye of humanity, be come In urgent, is obtained; and the new Miniflers have the credit of having gained In deflrable an end without compromifing the honour of dig country, or abandoning any principle of the Lrir of Nations. HAMBURGH MAIL. The Mails due on Sunday and Wednefday lan ar rived this day. They were brought over by the New Hope. Captain RVINOI.OI, which arrived yerlezday at Harwich. By this veffel, which left Cuahaven on Sunday afternoon, feveral paosngers =rived from Hamhurgh. By Letters from Vienna of the red elf. we learn , that the Trench arc labouring with great activity at , Venice in the equipment of a fleet: orders have been given for building there to fhips of the line. The rich Arkin! of Venice, and the fora. of Dalmatia. fur nifh every thing neceffary for their completion. The demand made by France to obtain a paffdge for her troops by Portel has been refuted by the Ca binet el Vienna, as has alto another demand made by the fame Power, to be allowed to march troops through Bohemia, in cafe of the war being carried on between France and Ruala. Auftria, however, mull yield the points it France pedal in thete de. wands. V1211)114 MARCH 22.—M. de la Rochefoucault, Ambalfador from France, had to-day his firll au dience of his Imperial Majeily, and prefented bis cre dentials. The Count de Pergen is returned from ht:s miffion to London. The French Secretary of State Leroux has returned from his million to Conftaotionple, and two days ago proceeded from this city, for Parisi he carries with him the declaration of the Porte with refpea to the acknowledgment • f the Emperor Napoleon. Maacm 26.—T0 the [tens taken by the French Government to obtain a paffage by the Portel, Ind which did not fucceed, M. de la Rochefoucault has, it is laid, added the demand of a palrage through 80. hernia, in cafe of war with Rut:Ea. This demand, however, has not been granted, and there are llrong reafons for refilng it, for the hereditary provinces, already exhantled by the effeets of a difahous war, would he unable to fin-nab fuflicient fupplics for the maintenance of a torcign army. It is intended to add to the kingdom of Holland, which is expeeled io be difpoCcd of to Prince Louis, the ncighboining Pi ulTiAn provinces which were to have formed the indemnity for the Ai chtlitice Fer• dinand. We are affured that the firft mindlerial aq of the French Ambatfaclor fince his return, has been to no tify the taking poflcilion of Naples, and to demand the prompt and categorical acceffion of the Emperor of Germany to this new acquifition. The Court Martial affembled at Knnigfberg, for the trial of General Mack, Princeof Charles A r berg. Bre. Is not yet ended. The Ruffian troops arrived at Cattaro, on board a fquadron of one Ibip of the line, fevcral cutters and gun boats, and fix tranfporte, amount to goon men.— A change, it is cxpaled, awaits likewife the Republic of Ragufa.

FLOILRIICS A MARCH B.—the Divicion of General Lit CHI which has entered the province of Abruzao has taken poffetlion of the town of Aquilla. 1-latuu, MARCH zs.—The Emperor Napoleon is to take Franckfort under his immediate proteiSion, and place in it a garrifoa cf moo men, under the orders of the Commandant of Mentz. The Emperor of the French will alfo appoint an Adminiarator Ge; neral to dire& the civil affairs. A Liibon Mail is arrived at Fatmootb, by the Auckland Packet, in fourteen dap, l a u t letters will not reach town till to-morrow. We yetierday received New York papers up to the 7th ult. They contain nothing material. An American paper of the IQ alt. faya f thrtilitir Government had received difpmehm famitlibsirivr toe, uow refident in London, Rating AM= fition of the Court of St. James's INN& was much more friendly than Isereteinne. Thefe papers contain the proceedings of the Le giflature, from the 18th to the agth of February but they afford nothing of any intereft. Five regiments of infantry and one of cavalry (the sill), ate under orders to proceed to the Cape of Good Hope, to ferve in that fettlement, in the room of the troops that have proceeded to India. On Wednefday and yelierday tt i l l o s t i i m i regiment marched into Maidßone, from Fa , on their route to Ringwood, in Hampasire. Yellerday the 'ft and 3rl battalions of the Frft Guard., were reviewed at Chatham by General Bo e- RARD, who expelled his high approbation of their military appearance. The Bst.cittylux, of 64 guns, has, it appears by the laft accounts from the Cape of Good Hope, pro ceeded for the Eall Indies, with the Company's [hips under convoy, that failed from England at the fame time with the expedition.

Esisrea Amuses's,. rs.—The continuance of the fine weather on Tuefdey attracted a more numerous company to view the Ro.'ey Pole, Dior i:fieot of Green wich Fair, than even on the preceding day. It con fined of at lean fiuty thoufand perfons. The road c'uid fcarcely be traced for the immenfe clouds of dint which arose from the extraordinary velocity of phaetons, chariots, gigs, taxed carts. buggies, and every wheelbarrow that could poffibly be procured throughout the metropolis. A mode of conveyance entirely new, at 1.4 to Gteenwieh Fair, attracted our attention very much it confined of a light built waggon, with a coach box attached, and painted in a very flossy manner—the body a thy blue, and the wheels a jet black, drawn by 61 beautiful Ateddr,i, with a ponilion caparifoned at Cern>, with hie quiver full of arrows. The groupe whrie pretence decorated the interior, was compared of three Clime, Sweeps, a couple of Mother Reel Cats, and three Devotees to the Shrihe of Bacchus.

Seli(bory Lady Fair for broad cloth, ticking, cheeles, tcc. was held tali week. The clothiers of Frome and its neighbourhood brought confides able quantities of cloth, and large purcha(es were made on Monday, both of cloth and ticking, by fh-pkeep ers from different parts of the country.
