iJor;tcrtpt LONDON, MONDAY, AUGUST 7• dCloch, p. The Paris IL:pers of Thursday last contain further p rticulars of the drcadilil and desolating fire .be tween the Barrier.; de Rapee and the Barriere de Berry. Seventeen extensive stores were destroyed, containing 80,000 barrels of wine a:ld brandy, and the buildings, which present a sad spectacle of lace rated ruins, cannot be rebuilt under un expence of a million of francs.—Seccral persons lost their lives, and about eighty were wounded, occasioned chiefly by the effects of intoxication. The Journal des De eats of Wednesday states, on the authority of a pri vate letter from St. Sebastian, that the Algerine fleet had been encountered, off the coast of Andalu sia, by the Dutch squadron, and completely defeated. Two of their ships were sunk, but it must have been dangerous to take possession of the remainder, as it is reverted that some of the crews had died of the plague. Count Bergs, Imi passed through Milan, about the 17th of last month, on his way to Lom bardy. It is said he intends to publich a Memoir, justifying his own conduct, which it is rumoured mill contain divers important revelations, little cre ditable to the English Ministry. It is also men tioned that the Italian Gazette of Lugano contains "sume very interesting particulars on this subject, calculated to throw some light on the conduct of some persons concerned in the proceedings against the Queen of Engle., 3." They are supposed to refer to the Milan Commission. The Paris Paper, the Constitatioanel, .gives a private letter from Na ples, dated the 17th ult. which mentions the mutiny of the Farnese regiment, and confirms the ori. l xinal statement, that it had no connection with political events. •rWe have now," it adds, et one hundred thousand men of the National Guard, armed and equipped at the ezpence of the citizens. This has been done simultaneously in every part of the king dom. Nothing can better demonstrate how much the whole nation is interested in the new order of tnings, and how many sacrifices it is disposed to make. for the maintenance of its rights and indepen dence." DILICTO or THS Doe HEBB OF Yonx.-•—• The Duchess of York has long been in a declining state. An express on Saturday evening announced a great change for the worse, and yesterday morning be tween eight and nine o'clock she expired. The cer.monies on such occasions, such as tolling St Paul's great bell, &c. &c. were of mune gone through. It might be deemed indelicate, from the obvious contrast, to point at the respect which was paid I y the illustrious couple to decorum ; but it cannot fail to occur to every ()Wryer of passing events, that the nation would not be in the present convulsed state if the same deference to public feel ing had guided the conduct of others in the most exalted station. Madras Papers have arrived to the 11th March. They contain no decisive intelligence with respect to the operations of the expedition under Sir W. G. Keir, on the Persian Gulf. An article from Bombay mentions the arrival, at that Presidency, on the 18th of February, of the Nautilus cruizer, with dispatches from Sir W. Keir, and a copy of the Treaty which had been concluded with the pirate Chiefs, who had accepted the terms dictated to them. It is added, " with the exception of the troops necessary to gar rison the stations that may be retained in the Gulf, and the shipping requisite for their supplies of wa ter and .provision, the whole ot* the expedition is expected to return to this port in the course of next month, or at latest in April. We may hope, there fore, that the rumour which was in circulation a week or ten days ago, respecting the severe loss said to have been sustained by the 47th and 64th regi. wants, will prove to have been unfounded.—We learn from these Papers, that the clidera mortar, which bad so h ng afflicted the island of Mauritius, had almost entirely ceased its ravages. Abel Hill, aged 23, a most hardened wretch, was condemned at Stafford, and has been since executed, for murdering, (by drowning) Mary Marti:y*6 her infant child, 16 months old, of which.o 141 the father and the unhappy woman * mini* 10 7 • WARWICK ASSIZES, Atigusi S.
