At present they are making up large stores of cartridges and accoutre. , meats. The Jews are principally employed in these labours. The soldiers of Szekler had already ad. glanced in the course of the month of May upon the frontiers of Wallachia. They were followed to wards the middle of June by the regiment of B. Spleny. Pause; JULY G.—All the persons of distinc tion, wimes the presence of their Imperial Majes ties had attracted 'hither, have successively quitted our town. His Excellency M.

On the 6th, it had to judge a woman, who had assassinated her husband. On the Bth, a person of the name of Henry Grosier, was brought to trial for assassinating his wife. It must be that there were some circumstances of exte nuation in this business; for the criminal was only condemned to imprisonment for life; to be placed thrt4 days in the pillory, and to be marked with the letters T. P., while, in the first case, the woman has been condemned to death, as well as her accom plice. Bastamte, JULY 7.—Her Majesty the Empress of France arrived here last night after midnight, with his Imperial Highness the Grand Duke of Wurtzburg, from Bayreuth, where she had dined. Her Majesty was received with the ringing of bells and the accla mations of a numberless crowd. A detachment of chasseurs of the national guard went to meet her to Memelsdorff, a league from our town, and had the honour to escort her hither. Fires had been lighted , all along the road from Memelsdorff; artd our toivo was illuminated with a great deal of taste. Tne Municipal Council, a detachment alight horse, and the children of the elementary schools, carrying green branches in their hands, awaited her Majesty at the gate of the city. The troops of the line and the na tional guards were paraded in the streets and in the square of the Palace. Her Majesty alighted with the Grand Duke of Wurtaburg at the Palace, occupied by his Highness Duke William of Bavaria. That Prince received the Empress at the gate of the Palace, and accompanied her to the apartment which had been prepared for her, where his Excellency the Count De Thurheim, Commissary-General of the Circle, and all the Civil and Military Authorities, were assembled to present their homages to her Majesty. A troop of young girls offered Hewers to the Empress, and One of them addressed a compliment to her, which her Majesty condescended to hear with kindness. Her Majesty set out this day at noon for Wurtzburg, with the same ceremonial which had been observed on her arrival. His Imperial Highness the Grand Dukeof Wurtzburg had set out early in the morning for the purpose of receiving her Majesty in his capi tal. The Empress caused a watch and chain, orna mented with pearls, to be presented to the young girl who had the honour to present the flowers to her, and to compliment her. FRANKFORT, JULY 14.—Her Majesty the Em press of France arrived here this day at half past seven in the evening. Her Majesty stopped only to change horses : she passed through our town be tween two lines formed by the garrison and the citi len guards, amidst the ringing of the bells, the firing of cannon, and the general acclamations of the Inhabitants. The guard of city horse had the honour to escort her Majesty to the frontiers of the Grand Duchy. Wearzsuao, JULY I.—There was yesterday a party given by her Majesty the Empress of France, consisting of all the persons of note who had been presented to her.

The same I thing took place when her Majesty retired at• the commencement of the second act of The Marriage of Figaro. The Empiess goes this day to Werneck, a country seat belonging to his lioNel ,highness, where it is supposed she will pass the day. JULY 14.—The Empress did not go oat the Pally before yesterday.

He M - jesty departed at six in the . morning. All the Court was assembled to attend her to her carriage. The garrison, the corps of citizens, 'and the body of atudeuts, were under arms as on her Majesty's ar rival. Her Majesty set out amidst the ringing of the bells and the discharges of the cannon. NORTH AMERICA [TROY sus mArar.tx voila OF JULY 3.] THE WAR AT SEA. Borrow, JULY 24.—The first frqits of Nar will probably be on the ocean.

To meet this force, and to check the depredations on American commerce, we have the following re mains of as gallant* little navy as ever floated on the mo an :—the President,.44 guus, Commodore Rod , - iprs ; United States, 44, Commodore Dacatur ' • Con res.', 36, Captain Smith ; Essex , 32, Capt. Po rter ; Hornet, 16, Capt. Lawrence; and Argus, 16, Capt. Sinclair : all these were a few days since lying in New York, ready for sea. The Constitution, 44 guns, Capt. Bull, was at Annapolis, bound round to New York. The Chescpeakc, 36, is now repairing in this port; and the Constellation, of the same fermi ha Washington. The John Adams, Captain Ludlow, of 2.4 guns s and the Nautilus brig, of 12, Captain Crane, are • now in this port, ready for sea. Besides these, the' Siren, of 16 guns, Captain Bainbridge; the inter. Enter prise, of 12, Captain Blakeley ; and the Vixen, of 12, Captain Gadsden, are also in readinegs. On the exertions of this naval force to give to our me naced commerce all the protection in its power, we have the most perfect confidence, and lament that it is not infinitely greater. All that valour, skill, •and I patriotism can do, will be done; and if the mercan / 61e community shall suffer loss, no imputation could justly fall on the naval officers of our country, for Iwhose success in its protection they have the best , wishes of every American citizen. JESTY and the King of SWEDEN, 4001 at'Orcbro by Mr. THORNTON and the respective Plenipotentiaries of the two Powers, on the 13th lost." These long-expected and much-talked-of TreatiOfir were brought to town yesterday by Lieut. D05it214..: who arrived at the Admiralty, and thence proceeds& to the Foreign-Office, about three o'clock. On the subject of these Treaties the Thnef of this morning, makes the following remarks:-- u So far we have proceeded prosperously enough; and it is certainly a gratifying circumstance to know, that the doubts entertained of ,the faith of Sweden, and the firmness of Russia, are endedr i -sO far a a great public pledge can end them. But -we must withhold our fall measure of gratification until we know something of the terms of the Treaty... if this be a mere heavy thing of subsidy, in all 14 1 , ancient generosity,—if there be not in it some touch' of the spirit fitted for the time,—a mutual spirit of slacerity,—a distinct application of the assistance I contributed by us to the prominent point of danger, —and an utter disavowal of all objects but those which are demanded for national security,—then this Treaty cannot be a matter of congratulation :• it must perish like those which have gone before ; and whether it lives or dies, will, like them, only shake our strength to establish the power of our great enemy." It may be a matter of the greatest moment to en- ' quire, why Ministers have not made the terms of these Treaties public, that the people of England might have been able to judge what sort of a bargain their Masters have made for them 2—On pro. mulgating some Treaties it would be the height of indiscretion to make their contents public; be cause, on the secret execution of them may de pend the whole of their merit. But in this case no such reason can be assigned ; here the enemy knows the worst, and, no doubt, has calculated upon it. Ile knows, and well understands, the genius of Beawanorro, the weakuess and oscillat ing temper of ALEXANDER, and the proverbial eagerness of our Ministers to give away the money of their countrymen. These things he well knows; and, if we are to calculate upon the future by the past, he will, at their expense, convert their combination against him into his own aggran disement. But perhaps our Ministers think that they have outwitted BONAPARTE in the art of aiplomacy, by detaching the Caowx PRINCE of SWEDEN from his interest, and attaching him to their own. This, however, they ought to remember, that BeattaDorrs is either the most finished deceiver on earth, et • NA. roLsoN is not that assassin they have long wished to have him understood. If cold-blooded murder form no bar to his ambition or revenge, and he had known that Butwanorra was his fee, he would hate Mkt bin to the other world, rather than to Sweden, in quest of a Crown. Let not Ministers buoy them selves up in their apparent success in the art of di- plomacy—wegive the caution in the most serious man nerfor our country's good—let them not calculate too highly upon the acquisition of BERNADOTTE; for the man that could deceive NAPOLEON, and coax him out of a Crown, will find no difficulty in deceiving them and juggling them out of a subsidy. If these treaties are subsidiary treaties, our Ministers will have no occasion to plume themselves on their suc cess at diplomacy, when compared' to the genius of the enemy in the same art. When he was meditating the blow that he is new striking at British commerce, through the medium of the Russian Empire, he had the art to induce the OTTOMAN PORTEnot to ratify a The following is a correct statement, we believe, of the force in Nova Scotia and Canada :—Detach ments of the second battalion of the Bth, of the 98th, and 99th Regiments, and the 104th, with a Fencible Corps, are at present stationed in Nova Scotia. The Ist battalion of the Stb, the 41st, 49th, and 100th Regiments, the 10th Veteran Battalion, with the Newfoundland Fencibles, constitute the present force in Canada a battalion of the Royal Scots, and the, 103 d Regiment are on their passage. TO THE. PUBLIC. Mr. Lorn.L being unfortunately involved in fut ther di f ficulties, in consequence of the inattention of the Person who lately had the chief manap event of the scr4TES3f4S, has found it necessery to make an alteration in his Establishment at the Office, which he is informed has given rise to some malicious and unfounded reports. In just* to himself, he therefore intends, in a few days,*, lay before the Public some particulars of the ciriuns slam*. relating to the unpleasant situation lint° which he has been thus precipitated; and the mean time requests that those friends of the ST4TESII4X, who have been imposed upon q any false misrepresentations, will suspend their opi nions until they are correctly made acquainted with the facts. State Side, Newicate, July $l. All the boats which have lately arrived from the Treaty of Race between himself and ALEXANDER, opposite coast bring the same intelligence, viz. that which had been concluded between their respect it is absolutely impossible for the French army to ive Plenipotentiaries, although its terms were highly exist, in their present position in the North, al pro- advantageous to the former. And, though there can visions are so uncommonly scarce, that a famine be but little doubt, that we should have been at would be the inevitable consequence. Great db. peace with America had oar Orders in Council content prevails in Holland and France on account sooner been rescinded ; yet it is clear to every atten of the conscription ; and it is very confidently as. tire observer, that NAPOLEON'S powers of mind have serted, that should BONAPARTE meet with a serious defeat, an immediate insurrection would most as- been at work, and not ineffectually so, in hastening an event which is very likely to cause two nations suredly be the consequence.

LONDON: SATURDAY, AUGUST 1, Mit By the arrival of a Heligoland Mail this forenoon, the following intelligence has come to hand : HELIGOLAND, JULY!?. REGENT,which had for its object to sound the trump e t of truth in the Royal ear. One man there was t o advocate, but not one to second the cause of truth' What, not one? No, not one !!! It is true that many of them were absent—they were retired to th e i r cenatry-seats. This may be an excuse for them, s r fares absence can constitute an excuse ; but did they of know, that Sir FaANcis intended to bring Ai r important business forward? They must have knows U; because the rules of the House enjoined him u v give previous notice of his intention. But no e x . cuse can be found for the Members present, for nr supporting the Motion of the patriotic Baronet, excel their delicacy, which prevents them from going th, whale length with Sir FRANCIS. And what is the friar. ful length that ho proposed to go ? Were it to sap 0, 1 foundation of the Crown—to dep r i v e it o f its preroge. tives and splendour—to rob the people of their rights Ne ;with this the basest sycophant among the hirelir writers of an imbecile Ministry dare not charge hil Then, why was not his motion supported? The an. swer is plain. The bold truths which it contained i put corruption to the blush ! And what were the, bold, these daring truths, from supporting of will ' every Member shrank, as Macbeth shrank back the sight of Banque's ghost 2 He proposed to Corm the PRINCE, that a vote of the House of Com. 1 mons, which had declared it as their opinion, that the Ministers of the Crown were incompetent to fil' with national honour and safety, those high stations for which they had been collected, and net selected,* occupy—that, not only had the beneficial conse. quenoes been lost to the country which ought to have emanated from such vote of incapacity, but that °Hamby, ever on the watch to pounce upon its prey, had taken advantage of this single act of patriotism on the part of the House of ehmmons to fritter a. the rights of the Crown, as it had done the libel of the people—that the Ministers of the Crown . rashly and lamentably cast away the glorious oppor. tunity of making an honourable peace with FEENcn Burma, on the flimsy pretext of a Treaty of Alliance between his MAJESTY and Fatten(' the VII. when in truth no such Treaty was in istence—that the circumstance of rejecting late overtures for peace was the more to regretted in consequence of our being about to engage in a war with 'America, which w , deprive thousands of industrious mechanics aid, tans of thi'means of subsisting by their labour, also deprive us, its a nation, of the last means support in case or an unfavourable harvest—that money is voted out of the pockets of the poi., by those who do not , represent them, and often given to men who had not the sanction of public service—. that While taxes had arisen from fifteen to near seventy millions sterlingannually, tax-gatherers had multii in a like proportion, whose insolent, and almost dail, visits placed the property of every man in a constant state of insulting requisition, producing crimes, & liodrpige, and misery of every description. . Sir FRANCIS next made a strong allusion to stanner in which justice is dispensed in the Cow King's Bench; and represented the Ex-officio formations, as forming a substitute for the WA. and tyrannicat practice of the Star Chamber; which contributed to bring Cs ant.za I. to the block. FRANCIS concluded by recommending to the Pal to use every legal means in his power to pro' such a Reform in the Commons House of Pal I ment, as will make the voice of the people be in that House, which, he judiciously conch would remove the toregoing, and many crying grievances, of which we have such cause to complain. As we stated in the ginning of these remarks, no one Member i sent had the virtue to second the Motion of Worthy Baronet; of course, in that House, to the ground; but it will live to the end of time monument of gratitude in the heart of every honest . man. Ho did his duty, and we barely do ours' cording the merits of his laudable endeavours. The following letter from Portsmouth, of morning, has a most warlike appearance, and that Ministers are now determined not to lea\ business to chance—had they done so sooner, and our anxieties would have been spared on this firitinite subject.
