The oldest person does not rensember so hot a summer as the present. In Middle and Lower Italy the almost insupportable heat produces brain fevers and other disorders. At Rome, the heat cost to 29 degrees of Reatmaur. In that city 60 persons have within a short time bests sent to die lunatic hospital. Letters from Tyrol say, " The heat here is almlst intolerable. The harvest is over, and at Bourn the grapes are already ripe, n circumstance which has 'KA occurred for half a century." IPAYONNt. JULY 19. .

JULY 7. , Sic—ln the present crisis of our affairs, the Washington troop of cavalry have determined to make you this tender of their services in support of the insulted rights of their country, and they hereby pledge their lives, their fortunes. and thew sacred honour, to use every means in their power to main tain and preserve those rights, and to punish the aggr-ssors of them ; and farther that they will hold themselves in readiness to march at a moment's warning wherever in your lodgment their services can be most efficiently employed.—Signed by con sent, and at the request of the troop.

The titer of your service, in support of the rights of your country, merits and meet: the highest praise; and, whenever the moment arrives. ia which these rights must appeal to the public arm for support, the spirit from which your offer low% that which animates our nation, will be their sufficient sate. guard. To the Legislature will be rendered a faithful account of the events which have so justly excited the sensibilities of our counts y—or toe measures taken to obtain reparation, and of their ICLILLS and to their wisdom will belong the course to be ultimately pursued.

'I he Council unanimously complied with the req test. ucier•ota.tis:ty 7. The attempt, the menace, the tariaer soon Jill. are, therefore, for the present, given a?, atid Douglas, with no hostile intention whatever, lies with his ships syn.:bed across the channel, com manding the entrance of she port, the mouths of the rivers, and with their boats and two cutters, firing at, and bringing -to, every vessel, ever► boat, that passes, examining every mail, and stuffing the pockets of the passengers with his dispatches, a dds, letters, and commands. The following is copied verbatim, from a paper lodged in the Collator's o►'lite last evening s " iuir 6. " The schooner Cysithia A*, Harrison, from Filly-Land,rg, was fired at in Hampton !toads. by a boat belonging to the British squadron ; but n , t thirking proper to stop. continued his way to Norfolk; they c.nrinued firing from the boat to toe number of 14 or tt; gnus.

Whatever may be the ream of this businebs finally, we are co.ifident that the impressions which it has made will never be effaced. The necessity of being always prepared. has been so clearly demanstrated, that we persuade ourselves that hereafter we shall not find many advocates for the system which would prefer economy to safety. We do not know how to reconcile the friendly declaration of Commidore Douglas. with r fact of which we are well assured. A boat from the Corn modore's ship was employed for a considerable time on Saturday in sounding the channel of Elizabeth River, almost up to Crain+ Island. about four miles below this place. Captain Davis. of the barque Peterviargh. arrived yest.:rday, flout Madeira, was boarded from Com modore Douglas's sitildron from Hampton Roads, and treated very yhtely. Ibe brig fish, Captain Chapman, from Goadsloupe, was also boarded, treated rudely , bat permitted to pass. If the British Commander is disposed for peace, he should cease to stop vessels in the waters of the United Stows. LONDON, MONDAY, A vouti We received. yesterday, the Hamburg's and Alms Papers of the Itth ; but those up to the 17th having come to hand in the course of last week, the contents of the former have now lost all their interest —Mr. Seta ADAM did not exaggerate the pomp and power of Boot AAAAAA when he said 44 Kings are his Centinels." An article from Stut• gard states, that NA ?OLSON, on his journey to Paris, sent a Courier to the King of Wr ITEM memo, with orders for him to proceed immediately to Frank fort on the Maine, and that the latter met him there accordingly. The Pore, in the plenitude of his power, had Kings to hold his horse and his stirrup. We most not be surprised if BONAPAIIti should demand the same homage from his vassal Monarchs. The marriage of the Princess CATOLIIN a of Wllt. Tarmacs and Jimous 1301IAP MITI, is stated to have been agreed upon twelve months ago. We have received Dutch Papers to the 18th inst. but they do not contain intelligence of any moment. It was tutnlured, on Saturday, that Bomar A era's ex?eae.tl address to the Sen.ae, had arriv4d, and was couched in the most outrage° Is language against this country. We du not, however, believe that any such adds-its has mched town. We have received New York Papers to the 15th ult. from which wr have made some extracts.— The fury of the American people still continues to vent Itself in angry resolution., at public meetings, against this country; but the American Goma meat evidently leans to amicable adjustment, and conducts itself amidst the popular storm with dig nified firmness and moderation. A letter from Washington represents the British Government A ttaated by a similar spirit. It says, I , Mr. Ess- KINIL speaks peace, and has written to Devotes, warning him against the medna he- is wooing. as being in opposition to the disposition of the British Cabinet." The C.,1/ant Seoesur, from Monte Video, has brought an account of some alarming faits, relative to the hostile conduit of the Spanish inhabitants. The cu rages and displayed by the people of Monte Video and its neighbourhood, which rendered is denary the Proclamation of Gen. WHIT II OCICS, appear to have been . occasioned by intrigues and dissensions amongst the numerous English adven.. titters atlas have arr.ved in the River Plata. The Spanish Governments were always extremely sulsieions of the people in their South American Colonies. No private person was ever permitted to sell gunpowder, and it could only be obtained at the Royal warehouses in small quantities, not ex ceeding one pound weight ; and then it was fur. nished to none but pen ins who could bring certi ficates of their mspeaability. A number of Eng speculators, however, lately arrived, brought whole cargoes of this article, and other warlike stores. &fore any idea was entertained of the danger of allowing fkom to dispose of such articles, they were all sold to the natives and Spaniards at very high prices, and they have been employed to annoy our people wh. n in peaceable possession of a conquered capital. We are assured, that upwards of bitten hundred barrels of gunpowder have been imported into Monte Video, from EnAland ; and while this ankle has not only received the prefer ence over all other kinds of English merchandise s which could not be obtained in that country, it has afforded the discontented Colonists an opportunity of destroying the lives of many of His 111*.fss:Y . 11 mast valuable Wird,. It is singular, that at the date of (wiener, which tame with the last Dispatches, the Cost martine ts-Carta had not issued any order to prohibit this . dangerous commerce, which had already produced sash alarming cionsequencss. It is also a fact, though we know not to what cause to attribute the ' circumstance, that all the respectable part of the population of the River Plata were last year de cidedly in favour of the British, but a material change has since taken place in their sentiments. Preparations were making whoa the adieus Selteiwp, sailed for an immediate attack upon Buenos Ayres. but its success was coosidered doubtful. We gave. on Saturday. the substance of a new Order of Council respelling same of the Northern neutral ports, and this day insert a copy of the Oriziaal Order. This measure is considered in the commercial world as giving the finishiig blow to all eotllllleree with Germany. The vessels which by means of fala.papere have been enabled hitherto to clear out at an enemy's port fw one of some two. tral nation (but with the real intention of proved. jog to Great Britain), will mow be deprived of that impatient advantage ; our Gaveransent hav ing deemed it pro !eat to order's that all vessels tasider the *4l; of klectlontat r • gh, penborgls. andiEiSphaosen. shall be warped ( i Made prizes of after a' linked time in ecie of Wiener) not to trade at may hciltile port in ftH at4ass sods ireoadaiaball hersimarfroas •• .. ..3, .... ssoling a port of the United Kingdom."
