CEYLON' AITELL, SIR HOGH INGLIS, and WILLIAM PITT. We are sorry to add, that intelligence had been received at the Cape of Good Hope that the Bellone, Minerve, and Victor, French men of war, had sailed from the Isle of France on a cruize in the India Seas. The Gazette of last night contains extracts of dis pitches received yesterday at the Admiralty from A.lmiral Sir CHARLES COTTON, respecting the cap ture and destruction of some of the enemy's vessels in the Mediterranean. We understand that the dispatches from Sir CHARLES also announce that the DEY of ALGIERS has declared war against France ; and that, as a proof of his friendly disposition towards England, the whole of our ships taken by the Algerines are to be imme diately restored. The Declaration of War took place on the 29th of May. The French have evacuated the Island of Fanu, to the southward of Corfu, which has been taken possesion of by Captain GRIFFITHS of the LEONIDAS. Paris papers to the 7th instant arrived last night, from which the following are extracts : PARIS, AUGUST 6. M. Daru, Intendant-General of his Majesty's Household, has set out for Holland. ST. PETERSBURGH, JULY 10. Government has received, within these few days, numerous trophies taken from the Turks, such as st.►nds of colours, horses' tails, &c. Nothing„ how ever, official has been published since the taking of Silistria. General Kamensky is said to be advancing, and hopes are entertained that he will obtain a com plete victory over the Grand Vizier. We are assured that a commercial house in this city has advanced two millions towards the loan that is just opened. Her Majesty the Empress is rather indisposedsince her return. Their Royal Highnesses the Princess Antoine, of Saxony, and Princess Theresa, who ac companied her to this place, have returned to Dresden. VIENNA, JULY 25. , Their Majesties the Emperor of Austria and the Emperor of Russa have concluded a treaty for the retoration of deserters on each side. ' The relations of friendship,' says the Emperor of Austria, which fortunately subsist between us and his Majesty the Emperor of all the Russias, and the disposition that exists on both sides to cultivate sentiments advan tageous for both empires, have induced us, as well as his Majesty the Emperor of Russia, to enter into a convention for delivering up deserters.' The Court Gazette still observes a profonad silence respecting the Russian and Turkish armies, and the reports in circulation are not sufficiently authentic to attach any credit to them. It is therefore adviseable to wait for further information, to avoid the risk of being contradicted. Mr. Adair has announced in a letter to Sir Francis Berry, the British Consul at Smyrna, that he is about to leave Constantinople. Notwithstanding the care he takes to conceal it, the embarrassment of this Minister is evident. We ask ourselves why he leaves Constan tinople at a moment when their faithful ally, the Grand Turk, finds himself hard pushed by a Power that threatens to overturn the Ottoman empire. AMSTERDAM, JULY St. A guard of honour is enrolling at this moment in Amsterdpi, where we hope soon to see his Majesty the Empetor. . A register for this purpose has been opened at 'head.quartess, and a number of young men have already inscribed their names. A meeting is to take place on Thursday for chusing the officers, and fixing the uniform that is to be worn. A Gentleman who arrived from Spain on Monday states, that the desertions from the French army have not been•exaggerated. They are principally Poles, Germans, &c. and the number would be much greater thart it is, were not the French natives deterred from foteking their ranks by the relentless revenge of the Spaniards, who destroy them without mercy when they fall into their hands. In the hour of battle this is the kind of treatment that ought to be inflicted on all invader, let them be of what country they may; but it is.highly impolitic not only to withhold induce ments to desertion, but to adopt a line of conduct cal culated to second the exertionsofthe enemy's common ders in keeping their troopsfrom scattc ;ng. The Gen tleman alluded to mentions, that at the time of his departure from the Peninsula, a large transport was proceeding to Cork with a great number of fugitives from the camp of the enemy. The following is an extract of a letter from Ilene carlo, at which place we understand the visit of the French was so short, that they had not time even to levy contributions : " The French are at Morilla, within about eight leagues of this place ; but they are not in considerable force, it having been found necessary for them to send a great number of troops to the westwar.; of Castile, to increase their strength in that direction. " Notwithstanding the shameful treachery at Le rida, and the noble but unsuccessful defence of Me quinenza, the Catalans are more active than ever to give effectual resistance to the enemy." In the absence of any new advices from Spain the following letter regarding operations in the South of the Peninsula, received by the last conveyance, ntay prove acceptable u CADIZ, JULY 2S. " The French Army before us, as near as we can calculate, amounts only to 15,000 men, having been diminished by large drafts from them to increase the army of MASSENA, who is threatening the English with a great battle. Other matters remain nearly in the same situation as they were a month ago. 4 , We hear that several deserters of distinction have arrived at Gibraltar from the French Army, among whom are said to be two Captains and a Lieutenant • • Colonel. 46 General LACY has not altered his position, re maining in the mountains, near St. Roque, nor does he intend to commence hostile operations until he has organized a strong force. Five thousand muskets have been sent him from hence by way of Gibraltar. gg The peasantry in Andalusia, taken in the whole, may be considered excellent soldiers for the kind of warfare they have to carry on, but the French keep themselves in close quarters. There are about 30,000 of them ready to annoy the enemy wherever he makes his appearance." The following is an Extract of a Letter, from Mr. BARTLETT, Who was wrecked in the ATALANTA fri gate, on the French coast, about five years ago, and has been ever since detained as a prisoner of war : GIVET, JULY 26, 1810. " I am happy to inform you, that our treatment is much ameliorated ; and we have, at last, the prospect of a speedy restoration to liberty. Every obstacle that has hitherto impeded the regular progress of the exchange, we are well assured, has been overcome. It has been to us a most tedious and irksome negociation ; and, since its commencement, many a gallant fellow and brave officer have been lost to their country for ever !---worn down by the corrodings gre, and heart-sick at seeing no reasonable terminttio'r their captivity, they have sunk into despoaincy. and paid the debt of Nature.—On the other hand, those who have a constant supply of cash at their command may here revel in luxury, and have every enjoyment they can require: but France, with all its beauties, has no charms for me !

" Many of our men have married, and are settled here ; and I understand it is generally the case at the different depots throughout France. g , We arc assured, that as soon as the arrangements for an exchange are finally adjusted, a negociation for carrying on a limited trade between Great Britain and France will commence ; and I assure you, that there are very general expectations of peace between the two countries entertained here. 4 , I expect next week to set out for Morlaix, which is 500 miles from this, accompanied by some other companions in misfortune ; and I trust it will not be long after our arrival there before we embark for England." The young Prince of ORANGE is making a tour of the North. On Wednesday last he left Edinburgh, and will return to town the latter end of next month. The Duchess of GORDON is now on het way from Dublin to London. THE ARMY. e•••is <; Kijor-General KENNETH ALEXANDER HOWARD, Of the 2d, or Coldstream Foot Guards, is placed on the Staff of the Kent District. Captain CRAWFORD'S company of the Royal Artil lery marched from Dover on Saturday last, on their route via Maidstone, &c. for Portsmouth, to embark for Ireland ; at the same time Captain MAURY'S com pany marched from the Artillery depot near Canter bury, to supply their place at Dover. _ _ _ Saturday and Monday, the 91st Highland Regi ment of Foot marched into Canterbury from Rams gate, and yesterday arrived at Ashford barracks. The 52d Regiment of Foot has marched from Ash ford to Shorncliffe barracks. The Berkshire Regiment of Militia marched on Monday and yesterday in two divisions from Yar mouth to Norwich. The Stirlingshire Regiment of Militia are ordered to occupy the barracks at Ramsgate. Lieutenant-Colonel 'AMC, of late Royal Irish Artillery, his been appointed Brigade Major of the Yeomanry of the County of Dublin, in the room of Major-General C 1102211, resigned. The 2d battalion of the 61st Regiment are arrived at Omagh, from Newry, to do duty there. The following is a statement of the British force in Sicily, at the latter end of June : lit Battalion 10th Foot Ist Battalion 44th Foot Ist and 94 Battalion 27th Watville's let Battalion 58th De Roll's lit Battalion 69d Dillon's lit Battalion 81st Chasseurs Britanniques. At Malta—the 241 Battalion of the 14th, Meurou's, and the Sicilian Regiment. At St. Maur, in the lonian Sea—the 55th Regiment and de tachments. Colonel BARCLAY, who so gallantly commanded the 52d regiment in the late action under General CRAUFURD, while in the act of issuing orders to Major Napier, had his bat shot off, and his horse shot under him. Some accounts of the skirmish in which Colonel 'Luxor, of the 14th Light Dragoons, was killed, stated, that the body of that lamented officer had not been found ; but a letter received in Ireland from an officer of the 14th, dated Puerte de la Conception, July 11, mentions that the body had been brought in, and buried with military honours. MILITIA. —A ballot is shortly intended to be made for completing the regular Militia, And the parishes which shall not before the Ist of October next raise the number of men required of them, will be subject to a fine of Je4o for every man deficient ; but the 15th Section of the Act enables Churchwardents and Overseers of the Poor, until the Ist of September next, to raise men as volunteers, who if enrolled be fore that period will bu entitled from Government to a bounty of ten guineas each, and the men so raised will be entered as raised for the parishes for which they shall be provided, and in discharge of such pa rishes from ballot. It is therefore extremely desirable that no time should be lost by Churchwardens and Overseers in raising men for the militiaoand thereby taking advantage of the bounty offered, and avoiding the fines in cases of deficiencies.r It is to be observed, that the men so provided will not be deemed to be long to the parishes for which they shall be raised as to any relief of their families, or thereafter supplying any such vacancies. Saturday last, a soldier was convicted in the penalty of 20s. for stealing a quantity of beans out of the grounds of Mr. P. H. KEMP, in the p trish of St. Mary Bredman, Canterbury, and in default of payment thereof, committed to Bridewell, to be kept to hard labour for the space of two m'nths. On the Ist instant the RAVEN sloop of war, whilst cruizing off Blakenburgh, picked up a small boat, with four French prisoners on board her, who had made their escape from one of the prison-ships at Chatham. They had been at sea four days, without any thing to subsist on, excepting a few ears of wheat, and were consequently nearly exhausted. They ef fected their escape by slipping down the seat at the head, and swimming on shore, where they took the boat and proceeded to sea. On the 20th of June, a detachment of seamen and marines, belonging to the ALCESTE and ToPau, brought out and destroyed seven vessels of the enemy from the bay of Martino, in the island of Corsica, af ter driving the enemy from two strong forts, burning the magazines and spiking the guns. In the perform ance of this service one man was killed and two wounded. Extract of a letter from a Gentleman on board the Fingal, of Belfast, dated at Gibraltar, June 27 : " Just as we were entering the Gut, a heavy gale from the eastward obliged us to stand for Cape Spartel, on the African coast, where we came to anchor. Two passengers, Mr. Robin son and Mr. M'Gilligan, and myself, with four bands, went ashore in the boat. We had not been long ashore, when the Moors came down and fired on the boat. M'G. one man, and myself were at this time a little up the country, but alarmed at the firing, ran down to the beach, when we perceived our com panions rowing off, and we were obliged I. conceal ourselves among the rocks all n.ght. At daylight, we were surprized by the Moors coming down upon us, so that our last effort was to swim off to some fishing boats, which lay about a mile and a hall from the shore, which l accomplished after being about an hour and a half in the water; Hut I am sorry to say, M'4Jilligan sunk alongside of me; the man tcft behind, we suppose, has been taken prisoner ; one .of the boys, named Andrew A dams, was shot on the beach." Extract of a letter dated Messina, June 21, 1810: " I am at present in the Citadel of Messina; it is an immense fortification. At this moment I have a full view of the enemy's amp; the mountains of Calabria are covered with huts and tents. We bave daily deserters coming over, who all agree the enemy have a very large force to bring against us. They ate constantly employed in bringing down boats every night, along the coast from Naples ; keeping, at the same time under their batteries, and bringing down troops to prevent our destroying them. We took and destroyed about 20 of them a few days ago, full of ordnance stores sad guns. In this attack we lost one of our gan•boats, which was one of those chances of war we must expect. We may soon hope to hear of a further destruction of the enemy's craft, as an expedition is gone out against them, consisting of two-line of battle ships and some gun-boats, with a part of regiment on board. Our troops have severe duty. They turn out at two o'clock in the nsornlng, and remain under arms until we cas clearly distinguish the enemy on tin opposite coast." Mondy last the Duke of ALBUQUERQUZ, Admiral AJODACA and family, Mr. CEVALLOS, Mr. and Mrs. AIELLA, Mr. RUIN, and all the Gentlemen of the Spanish embassy, were elegantly entertained by the Rev. Pr. CO&LINS, at Southall Park, on the occasion of his appointment to the dignity of Chaplain of Ho. HOW to hit CATHOLIC MAVISZT. 3RIGH7ON, AZIGUST 14. LY OF THE PRINCE OF WALES'S BIRTIt. DAY. Yesterday, the Anniversary of the Prince's Bird, was celebrated in a most brilliant manner. Between. twelve and one o'clock, the crowds of carriages a t all kinds, but chiefly barouches and coaches with four horses, exceeded all we ever witnessed on any former occasion. The day was fine, though windy, and the appea r . ance of the immense concourse of beauty and fashion together with a line of troops extending nearly th e miles, on ground which, though sloping and varied, displayed the whole extent from the heights in ene view, was uncommonly magnificent. The Patna and all his Royal brothers, except the Duke of Su:. sax, ascended the Downs, about four miles from Brighton, before one o'clock. He mounted his white charger in the uniform of the 10th : the Dukes of YORK, KENT, and CAMIRIDOE were also in uniform; the Dukes of CLARINCIL and CUMECRLAND, in plain coats. The Panscz was accompanied by more than 2000 Noblemen, General Officers, Ladies, and Gen tlemen on horseback, as all the ladies and gentlemen on horseback joined the royal cavalcade. The carriages ranged in a line opposite to the troops, and the ladies mounted on the roofs, driving boxes, and dickies._ The horses were generally taken out, and, as we have stated, every carnage almost had four horses; for a lady of the slightest pretensions to decorum could not be so inhuman as to go such a distance as four miles with a pair. The PRINCI passed the whole length of the line, and then returned to the centre, where he, his Royal brothers, and Staff dismounted, and the troops fired a jilt de joie. The fire run along the whole line three times, and from its long continu. ance had an admirable effect. Their Royal High. nesses then remounted, and took a station on a beau. tiful level nearer. Brighton, and the several regiments marched past him in companies. They amounted to 9700 men, and of course it occupied a considerable time*. The horses, generally speaking, stood the firings much better than had been expected. We are sorry, however, to observe, that one or two accidents did take place through the restiveness of the Dra. goons horses, in keeping the ground clear to a certain space in front of the troops—one woman had her head deeply wounded ; a horse which had reared, having alighted with his fore feet on her head and shoulders. But it is not expected, we are happy to add, that either this, the severest misfortune that hap. pened, or any other, can lead to •a fatal termination. -- It was four o'clock before the review ended. The company then returned to Brighton, and the Steyne was crowded till near six o'clock, when the Noblemen and Gentlemen invited to dine with his Royal Highness at the Pavilion retired. The fete concluded with a ball and supper at the Castle, which was splendid. Above 800 Ladies and Gentlemen were present. The PRINCZ and brothers, with a considerable part of his dinner party, entered the rooms about 11 o'clock, when his own band welcomed his approach. His Royal Highness conversed with the ladies for about an hour and then retired. The Duke of CLARENCE took the chair in the principal room at supper. Tables were laid in six or seven rooms, and even with all this accommodation the company could only sit down by installments. The supper consisted of warm soups and every delicacy of the season, such as pine ap• pies, grapes, ittc. Dancing was resumed, and we left the rooms in high conviviality at a late hour yes terday morning. • A correct List of these Troops was given in our Paper yesterday. Wednesday morning, a female, about 50 years d age, who had come to the Bootb.hall Inn, in Glou• tester, the preceding day, by the London coach,died suddenly at that house ; and no traces were found about her person that could lead to a discovery who she was, or whither she was travelling. She was booked at the Bolt and Tun, Fleet•street, in the name of Jackson. A female servant, in cleaning.an upper window at Mr. Carter's, shoemaker, in Blackfriars-road, on Monday, stepped 4nl a garden pot to reach her object with more facility, which slipped from under her, when she was precipitated into the road, and killed en the spot. Sunday afternoon, at Faversham, whilst the corpse of Mr. John Hunt, of that place, dredgerman, aged 61, was at the ground of interment, attended by his wife and the rest of the family as mourners, Mrs. Hunt, through extreme - afßiction, was taken suddenly ill, and, lamentable to relate, expired in a few minutes. Tux BITERS BIT —Several publicans at Chippen ham were lately annoyed by a posse of common in formers, and ultimately convicted in small fines for selling beer in unlawful cups ; but just as these qui tam gentry were hugging themselves at the g;orious idea of getting halt the penalties, it was discovered that these very honest and loyal men had no :tans's: in their hats. They were theretore in their turns con victed, and being unable to pay the penalties attach able to their offence, were committed to Devises Bridewell for three months!! A Newsman, residing at No. 2, Crane-court, Fleet street, on Monday, at Guildhall, charged Surat Wood, his servant, with having robbed him of a 'Ts. piece and a shilling, He stated, that having missed several articles, and suspicion having fallen on the prisoner, he determined to put her honesty to the test. He therefore marked a 7s. piece and a shilling, which he placed in his bed-room, prior to his going to church on Sunday. The prisoner, during his absence, was employed in making his bed ; and on his return, the money was missing. The prisoner was immediately searched, and the money found in her pocket. The Officer who searched her also found several dupli cates of articles which had been stolen from her mas. ter, but as these things were not produced, the Ma gistrate remanded the prisoner. Yesterday Margaret Porter was fully committed from Whitechapel Office, charged with stealing a watch from W. Goodwin, a waterman. WORSHIP4TMT.—Yesterday a hackneycaachmsn was convicted on a complaint exhibited against him by a Lady, for demanding more than his regular fare, and for using foul language ; he was fined in the pe nalty of 40s. and costs, which he paid. A drover in Smithfield was, at the same time, con victed in the penalty of 110 s. for ill-treatment of a hut lock he was driving in 01d-street Road, by beating it over the legs in a cruel manner : not paying the fine, he was committed to the House of CorrecUoo• _ . * var):- 4 -, • .. . . , la - AMSTERDAM, JULY Si.
