Paris Journals tithe lath, anti Dutch Joornids to the ipth, have - - afa arrived. - this French are fending all their difpofable force es the other fide the Alps, into the Neapolitan ter iitewy. or Dalmatia, evidently for the intended con `kited of Sicily, and to extend the french power on Ole (bore or the Adriatic. A divifion of French troops has alto filed off to wards Leghorn, and every fortrefs in the States of the Church is occupied by them—a prelude to the downfal of both there Sovereigns. Before the eapi. ration of many weeks, we thall hear that the Pope, and the Queen of /tangle, have been deprived of their refpcaive dignities, and condemned to pals the reft of their days in obfcarity, upon a Rioted and , 1 precarious bounty. The seeable(' of both will be alite urged in jollification of the aa. Turin is al ready named for the future refidence of the Pope. Four new Sovereigns are talked of in Germany, namely, the Electors of Baden, Heft, Heffe ftadt, and the Duke of Cleves (Prince littar). NAPOLIIOII could sot adopt a more effe&ual mode Of completely annihilating whatever there is of na tional fisatimeat, feeling, and charafter in Germany, than by thus flittering down, and parcelling - Soto petty Sovereignties, the whole of that once great iindvenerable Empire. The continuance al the French armies in Swabia , and Bavaria has overwhelmed - the inhabitants with . • • anifery. A (earthy, vapidly lnetenfidg to the map Oituda ota famine, privails in thefe countries ; to olleviato which they have no other femur than a few feanty attain:es of cortr fent from the left benk of the Rhine, and oflentatioufly doled out to them by order of their oppreffor. . ‘ Expeftations appear to have been entertained at Confiantinople, that an Englilb filtration would &only make its appearance in the Dardanelles. A imilar report prevails in the North of Germany.' LeticrifiOto Hamburgh and Bremen mention it.— • Are we to believe, then, that there was come troth in the report received from the American veflel off ] Cherbourg, a few days ago, of BOMAPAILTI'S inters ti•ii to march an army through Afia for Egypt ? • A private letter from Hamburgh furnifhes us with the following important article, in addition to this report of the American Captain : " The French are preparing, it i; (aid, to fend an army of 60,000 men, in three divifions, through Afiatic Turkey, to attack the Brit& poffeffions in the Eel Indies." Can it be any part of the objet of the expeditions now fitting nut in our ports to coun tete& thefe defigns The Ruffian fituadron in the Mediterranean, con fifting already of twelve fail of the line and nine fri gates, is to be farther augmented. This does not look as if a refolation was taken to abandon their fettlements in the Seven Mends. The letter of his Swedifh Majefly, upon difiolving tire Connitution of Pomerania, will be found among our writes from the Foreign Papers. It is ifair, ra tional, and manly appeal to the good fenfe and feelings of the inhabitant's of that part of his dominions. The following is an extra& from a private letter, dated Hamburgh, July t r : All is as Hill here as before, and our Merchants do net put much faith in the reports of . Peace, which come from your fide of the water. The impollibility of finding any fecurity that Hanover would not be (portly re occupied by the French, fop. poling they would agree to give it back, and Eng land would make any great facrifices to obtain it, teems a great hindrance to the couclufion of any treaty which it can be thought likely that Bows• PACTS would lip." Yeßerday at three o'clock, a Cabinet Council was held at Mr. Fox's Office. We have received letters from moil of the (Co called) Corn Counties, by which it appears, that the late rains have generally produced the ma beneficial die t% on the growing crops, which in very few in fiances have been beaten down or injured in the fmallell degree by the violence of the hail. &c. the fall of which has been very partial. The lightning, we underhand, has caufed great deftruition among the fwarms of pernicious infeels that had been gene rated in the fields and gardens in all parts of the country. ythr 33. We have all been on •the tiptoe of expedatitm for . (nose days of the tranfpons coming into our harbour for the expedition. Nine fail lay off and on all day Yeaerdar, and with the afternoon's tide the Corn wallis, No. Ica, entered our pier, with Dutch psi loners from the Cape of Good Hope ; there are twelve Officers, all young good looking men, dreffed in blue, faced with yellow, and about (evenly invalids, with their wives and children. The agent for prifuners, Mr. Maxt.sw, from Do. ver, is here, and has engaged a (mall cutter to take them to Flufhing. They are expeded to fail for that place tomorrow. The Officers wifhed much to come on there, but our worthy Officer of the Cnnoms, Mr. Wesysertms, very properly refuted them that grati fication, from his pofitive inftrullions refpeding all foreigners. f tuaderfland that all the Dutch troops, tke. at the Cape have entered into Britilh fervice, ex cept the few wounded invalids in our harbour. Al this women•. eight fail of tranfports are in the Pier, large (hips ; about nine more lie off, intending to come in this afternoon's tide. The expedition is delayed ten days, for the remainder of the tranfpores to rendezvous here I fame fay kventy fail are tb go hence: they have provitions for fix months; of conice part, at lean, molt be for a more dillant ckflination than Sicily. In the Ajax there are about a hundred of the Staff, principally bills : they have come from Portfmouth to join others here. A melancholy accident occurred here nn Money lath an Officer of the Royal Perth Militia (Capt. BARCLay) walking up High.flreet, holding the hand of his nephew, a fine boy of eight years of age—the child unfortunately let go his hold, flipped oft the club-none, and fell into the carriage-road ; at the 'alma, Mrs. TowaLsv's coach paifing, ran over his cheli, and killed him on the fpot. The feelings of his uncle and aunt, who were with him, may be more telly conceived than deferibed. This place is full of genteel company, fearecly a lodging to be had for money. The brig which was retaken off our harbour on Sunday week is Rill here. The 6►e Frenchmen taken in her had no idea we coold fee their proceedings fo far from (bore. The weather has for fome days been rather unpleafant, and we have bad heavy rains. The Duke of You held a public day at hie office on Tuefday, which was attended by abrrut ao Officers. The fir e companies of the suds Rifle regiment, which were to embark at Ramfgate, have been ordered to march to Gravefend, where they are to be embarked.

This beautiful Regiment was reviewed previous to its march, on H .unflosr Heath, by the Palace of , Waxes, Duke of You, and the re* of the Royal Dukes. The manner in which they (hewed them r felves on that occaaon has been fpoken of with fuch high terms of encomium, that we have feldom or ever beard of: the Regiment was commanded by Colonel Hawsea, to whom the fervice is much in. debted for Tome new aad (kilful manoeuvres never Peen before, and which is underflood as a new, fyftem of teaks to be adopted for all the Light troops in his Majefly's fervice in future. The Pentc I and the Royal Dukes were repeatedly heard to exclaim their molt flattering marks of their approbation, as well as every General Officer that was on the ground, who (poke of this excellent corps with unbounded plan. slits. The manner in which they changed their dif ferent new movements in-air/kw was allowed to be of fuperior (kill, and performed with the greateft alertnefs : the Officers were obferved by the Duke of I You to be nnufually dextrous in *lifting their polls and Rations on their ground with great facility and precifion. After the general and royal astute was given, the Prince and the Royal Dukes rode up lathe Commanding Officer, Colonel Hums, to return, in form, thcir thanks and praife fo much due to fo fine a regiment. After the review was over, the Officers gave a magnificent entertainment to the whole of the ROYAL F•rtcv prefent, and their Colonel the Earl of &immune, as well as all the General and other Officers on the ground, which was given at the Caf de at Ri:hmond: previous to the dinner being ferved up, at four o'clock, the company, upwards of two hundred, affembled in the beautiful Gardens in the front of the Cattle, upon the banks of the Thames.

The Royal. PARTY were obferved to be in the higher} (pities, and the day went off with the greateft mirth and conviviality, to the entire fatisfattion of all parties. The ROYAL Fa. nits took lease at nine o'clock, amid* the ' , nide* acclamations and teltimony of regard for the Royal and beloved Princes.
