A letter from Cadiz, dated 19th May, st.xes the arrival there of a passenger from the Isle of France, who says, that :\dmi-al Linois had taken thirty-five prize•, ten of which heliasged to the East India Company, and carried 'them into that island, pre vious to the Bth March. The effefts of our brilliant expedition to the An tilles are now felt at London. Bankruptcies mul tiply there in consequence, among the merchants interested in the West India trade. There is ano ther result from this expedition, which has not been dal/ appreciated. Without it, General Eerrand would, perhaps, have been obliged to abandon the Spanish part of St. Domingo, where he is now in a situation of being able to support himself against all the efforts of the Negroes and the English, their worthy allies: without it, the whites of this part, of so much importance to us, might have become the vielims of the fury of Dessalines and his brigand troops; but the Go wernment was far from forget ting faithful subjeets, who have preserved to it the means of r.Licoverii-g, soon or late, a colony so in teresting to our commerce. Letters from Vienna, of the 15th June, positively assert, that the Archduke Chatles will go to Sichers gen, to pay a visit to His Majesty the King of Prussia. Letters from Rochelle, state, that since the ar rival at the Isle of Aix, of Admiral Missiessy's squadron, the English keep a squadron of eight ships of the line in sight of that road. This ex plains the accounts from Brest, of the reduftion of the Engish fleet in that quarter. On the 7th, Bth, and 9th of June, they only amounted to fitteen ships of the line. It was surprising that our Brest fleet Aid not seize the opportunity of putting to sea, being so much superior to th • enemy. A letter from Frankfort, dated 13th June, states, that Count Cnhentzel, the Austrian Ambassador to his Majesty the Emperor of the French, WAS, at that date, in that city, from which he was to set out at the end of three days for Paris. A letter from Strasburxh, of the Clst June, states, that the Mayor of that city had announced that the Emp...or of the French will pass through that city on his return to Paris. The ynang men of the first siistmelion have pr = posedtoform a Guard of Honour, horse and too:, to attend him. NAOILM, JUNE IR. The works in our public Dock Yards proceed with great We have for a long time doubted the possibility of a speedy pace, hit if we may place any con fidence in reports which we hear from various quar ters, this happy event may not be very far distant. Our Grand Pensi.)nity const intly receives dis patches Exam 1 ranee. sometimes twice a day ; and does :lot dissemble his confident belief, that a nego tiation is on the eve of being entered into, and that the conclusion of a peace depends solely upon Eng land. While several of our merchants were lately coaversing with him upon the law which prohibits Ali commerce between this country and England, he expressed a hope that these rigorous but neces sary measures for the moment, would not be long in force ; that the Emperor of Russia and His Prussian hfojesty had agreed to propi,se a plan or ageneral pacmcation,which will be probably adopted by England ; tbat he flattered himself that the friendly propositions of the two mediating Powers would not be rejened by the obstinacy of Great Bri tain ; that he founded his hope upon the declaration made by the Emperor of Russia, that if the English Government did not chew a frank and candid dis position to treat, by accepting conditions at once just and honourable for the two contending parties, he should cease to have any conneason with the Court of London. MANTUA, JIM 20. 'the Emperor and Empre s Arrived here on the .7th. 'I he Emperor went next morning, at four o'clock, to view part of the works carrying on here under his orders. Yesterday, and this day, he went ag tin to view the fortifications. Captain PARKE*, of the American ship Com wirer, from the Isles of France. detained and sent into Liverpool, sailed from 13'urbon the kith of March, and reports that, previous to his leaving that Island, a large ship with tea (supposed to be the Cerorrianthi), under British colours, had been carried in there by the French. Sunday morning, the Danish brig Jung Frog Christna, from Conquete, in France, arrived at Cowes. laden with provisions. The Captain brings no news, but states that peace is generally talked of in France as likely to take place, and is greatly des red. The Gamete of Saturday contains an Order in dated the 4th inst. allowing, until further order, the importation of hides, leat:ter, horns, tal low, or wool, in foreign vessels, upon payment of [;'.e same duties to which those articles brought in British bottoms are liable. The Manuscript of the Fourth Volume of The le e of' Gineral Illithingtan, has just been received by Iv r.

Mrs. Si o oons will return to Newcastle, after her engagement at Edinburgh is closed, to perform a few nights with her Brother STEPHEN Kam sca's Company during the Assize week.

Mr. PiRIL stated the case of the Plaintiff, who, he observed, was an Attorney's Clerk, the Defendant was :he keeper of St. Pancras Watchhorise, Holoorn, and in tat was a second Dug Gerry in face. foe Plaintiff and a friend of his had been spending the evenuig togetner a lit-le way out of town, and about twelve o'clock at night were returning througn Holborn, when they overtook a genteel looking man very drunk, with the wa:climan : they took upon them selves to convey him to the watt-hhouso, and whew there, the drunken min accused the Plaintiff of rob bing him ; but when examined he Withdrew the charge ; and along witn Edwards left the watch house; some words arose between the Plaintiff and Defendant, and the lager, Dagtor, like, co nceiving his di-, t nity to be off -ndeca. consigned the Plaintiff to the black hole for eleven hours, and the next morn ing carried him before the Magistra:es at Hatton Garden, by whom he was discharged ; and for this imprisonment the action was Ist-ought. It appeared upon the evidence, that P:aintiff and his companion were nittc:t intoxicated at the time; the Plaintiff had formerly been vestry clerk of the paiith, and WAS kiiown to the Defendant ; some altercation ensued, on his insisting the drunken man should be detained ; and the Plaintiff called the Defendant a scoundrel and viilain, said, he had stifled some matter for WI. and deserved hanging, with many more abusive and iasulting expressions, upon which he ordered the constable to take him into custody, and afterwards offer ed to liberate him, if Edwards would promise to be accountable for him in the morning; but the latter declined doing so, saying he had beta slight acquaintance with the Defendant. Lord Es t aassollOUGU thought, from the general complexion - of the case, it would be better if tsorh patties would agree to withdraw a juror, which, upon his Loydshio's recommendation, was done. TOE KING o I , 2 EPILACIAST. This was an iudieiment for an assault. The Vrotectztor, l(pberr Caps, was a coat:ln:taker in Drury-lane, and ftie D..fendant a publican iff Broad-street, St. Giles's. The Prosecutor and s friend had been drusking four pints of ale in the Defendant's tap-boom, when a dispute arose • be tween the landlady ~nd the Prosecutor abort the payment of a pint of ale; the Defendant insisted tl.e ale was not paid for, and, without further pro. vocation, while tne Prosecutor's back was turned, the Defendant struck him a violent bkw, and re tired. Soon after, the Plaiutiff returned to seek his child's shoe, which was lost in the street, just by the Defendant's door, and; while in the ael of sto7ising to take it up, the Defendant came behind him, and, with some sharp instrument, struck him over the eye so violently, that he never recovered the complete use if his sight since that time. On the part of the Defendant, three witnesses swore that the Prosecutor gave the first assault; but some contradietion appear:rg in their testimony, t .c Jury found the Defendant DREADFUL STORM. A Gentleman, residing at Kingston. upon-Thames, l ; Surrey, has furnished us with the following parti culars of the uncommon areas of a storm upon that place, on Saturday last : " The whole of this neighbourhood," says he, " on Saturday last, experienced a tempest that will be ever remembered ; it was dreadful in the extreme. For several miles around us, a torrent of hail and rain fell, that threatened destruaion to every thing exposed to its vengeance ; the water, which fell in streams, ran down our neighbouring hills in tot rents ; and, for a time, completely inundated the low coun try ; in this town, the rain was not so heavy as it is , reported to have been in the vicinity ; but die light ning was more vivid. and the thunder more tremen dous. About six o'clock, the lightning struck down a stack of chimneys belonging to Dr. Chambers's tonce, then entered the parlour of Mr. Cheney, builder : its elle-Rs in this room were astonishing ; on a side-buerd, among tither articles, were a silver tankard and punch-ladle ; these it partly melted, and made a hole through the side of the former, as if a pistol shot had passed through it ; it also melted a plated copper snuffer stand ; in tracing its direc tion, it Apireillfll then to have paced through a beau fet, where it broke several china howls, dishes, ate. next shaped its course through the chimney, to toe bed-ctramher of Mr. Cheney, where it immediately set fire to the paper of the room, the bed furniture, and bedding t it appears that the door of this room being open. it, took its next course down the stair case, passed the family who o'er:, sitting at tea in the kitchen, and evaporated, witboat doing Wither mischief. The tire in the bed-room was immediatily extinguished by Mr. Cheney's workmen. who, Icr i tunately, had been detained by the severity of ti,e storm ; and thus prevented its tasages frost Wag more severely twit.` Gt ILDHALI,. ICl:steed:7 the London Se,sion commenced before the IlEcoanra, Aldermen LE NI SMITH, PRI NSEP, and the Sheriffs.

POLICE. PUBLIC (Amor, POW-STREET. When the siz persons, who were in custody on suspicion of being concerned in the numerous burOaries which have lately been commited in the neighbourhood of Blackheath, were under examina tion yesterday se'nnight, s. mug suspicion was erter tained that part of the property stolen had been con veyed to Birmingham ; in consequence of which Sir RICH ait D Porto dispatched Adkins, the Officer, to that town, who, after his arrival there, and making diligent enquiry, discovered that the prisoner Webb's mo her lived there, and he'llad been to see her lately; upon which he &stained a search warrant, from the Magistrates at Birmingham to search her Manse. On the of fi cer's going to the house, he told her the busi. ness he was come up-m, when she acknowledged her son had been there lately. He proceeded to search the house, and found a pair of pistols, a va riety of articles of plate, and other property, to a considerable amount, which, he had strong suspicion, had been stolen, and st ized them. Yesterday the six persons in custody were brought from the different prisons where they have been con fined, and underwent another examination before Sir Rrciiaan Folio and G. H. HARRINGTON, Esq.-- Lord Sc ;MEV likewise sat upon the Bench. Adkins the Officer produced the property, which he had seized in the house of the Prisoner Ffrabl'a mother, at Birmingham. A servant at General Twist's, who resides at Chidehurst, proved that his master's house h•ol lately been broke open, and two bottle stands pro. duced by Adkins, were his property. Mr. Taylor, of New Cross, proved, that an. opera•glass, a pair cf silver buckler, and a case set mathematical instruments, were part at the pro perty stolen fri'm his house when broke open, which were produced by Adkins. and fwnd by him in the house of Mrs Webb, at 'Birmingham.
