YILNt4L, Jt LY 14. The d'sttirbances of the Gar and ith .Inly have mad a great impression here. The Government is o'•it -,et 4 to take the greatest precautions to reston tranqu tlity, and to keep down the seditious. Four regirienta are to reinfi ice the garrison ; two are al ready arrived. The draw bridges are clearing, and the means taken to increase the power of repellin.: attack. The suburbs are still occupied by the troops, and each inn has a guard. The cavalry keep up the communication with the infantry, and twelve officers of the Etat Major {welt the different pas:. frequently. Since Wednesday last there has been a Commission sitting to suggest the means of pot ting an end to our disquieting situation. Several • persbns of all ages have been taken up. The Police display an *Risky which they ought to have put in praaice soone-. It is supposed that several persona taken by will be hanged, and others punished with owe or less severity. - • s- 011/10A. JULY 17. M.

The English have again purchased an immense , quantity of wheat in the ports of the Baltic, and are already employed in transporting abnnt 200,000 measures of corn, in English merchant vessels, from Dantzic. Thom successive purchases seem to us an insult to the misery of the people of the Eastern parts of Germany, where the scarcity has alrea dy given rise to serious troubles One cannot avoid grieving to see the neighbouring countries delivered ap to the horrors of famine, whilst the English magaai -,ts are re-gorged with the produc tions of those countries.

BRITISH PR • - . LON DON, • THURSDAY. Auoust e. . • • : There was a great bunk yesterday at the Admi. • saki, and ruinour was •i costrae 'task nekive.—h was said, among various other reports, that Govern- MOM had received fresh advices of the forward state at preparations for invaglon, particularly in the the Dutch ports. We received a letter from Yarmouth which announces the arrival of ac counts from Admiral Russet.% squadron off the Toast. He had captured a ship from Amster dam bound to Madrid, in ballast, having hurried iway in order to avoid the embargo which was boa* 'spelled to be laid on in the Dutch poets, as mated in our paper of Monday. The Admiral was informed 'by his prise, that the Dutch were embarking troops in the Texel in immense numbers, also a large quantity of artil lery and horses, with six months provisions, and other necessaries, for a remote expedition. Admiral De 11171nraa's flag was flying in an 80 gun ship, and is, with Admiral Eva A IC, to have the command. It was expelled that the expedition would be ready to sail about the beginning of the present week. The troops consisted of French and Dutch. We have received the Paris Papers to this lath last. Bob; AAAAAA was still in that city, on the i 27th. Preparations were made for his reception at Boulogne ; but the period of his departure from Pa was not knows. The Aluniteur, with an air of mysterious reserve, says, " It will be a long time before the English will hear of the combined Beet, and when they do,hear of it. the yews will much surprise them ;" insinuating, so doubt, that it was the East Indies. We congratulate the M.- which it does not deserve. This, however, is not the only symptom of the present ill humour of the French Governmesig, *I II ' found in the official Journal!. It asserts.l a* large purchases of corn by England upon al 'Continent have pro. duced a scarcity in the North of Germany; that the commercial facilities granted by Sweden to England are of no value; and it boasts, that by the regulations imposed upon Holland, English ~ ..:rchandise has been excluded from the Continent. In these sentiments we recog nise a spirit that only delights in making the na tions of Europe discontented with each other, and is happy in proportion to the extent of misery in which it can involve the world. The Cor sican only a few days since boasted that he should annihilate this country. He now boasts, in a strain- that the lowest English Custom-house Officer would be ashamed of, that he has not only stripped the Dutch, hut that he has happily prevent ed the importation of a bale of English broad cloth to cloath their nakedness. French Funds on the 27th, 5 per cent. 6t fr. Dispatches have been sent off from the Admiral ty to Lord NZLSOII t upon the supposition that he has arrived off Ci.iiz. It is said, that he will con tinue the blockade of that port, and that Admiral Cot. LINOW001:1 . 11' squadron will go into the Medi. terranean. Yesterday, a Court of Diredors was held at the East India ,House, when the ship Lady Madinat Sineletr, of 610 tons burthen, engaged by Govern ment to carry convicts to New South Wales, was taken up to bring home teas from China. The Court adjourned at five o'clock, till Wednes. day next Letters received from the Dragon, 74 guns, Capt Getrerrns, dated the 23d ult. off Cape Finisterre, state her having been dispatched after a strange sail, and rejoined Admiral Catnaa at the close of Cie of ion—that the fog . was so great, could scarcely di,cover friends from foes: had only four marines blown up by accident, all of which will recover. The St. Raphael, of 84 guns, is by far the finer Spanish ship of the two prizes, and is almost a new ship. El how, 74 guns, is about 30 years old, and has had a thorough repair; in going up the har bour of Plymouth she ran foal of the Lapwing, 33 guns, and carried away pan of her head and bow sprit; but this will be soon repaired. Apprehensions are entertained by some per sons, that the Combined fleet have not gone to the Southward, but direely North, to get round Ireland and Scotland into the North Sea. At any rate we can assert, that there are strong grounds for believing that this was contemplated by the enemy as a pos sible or contingent part of the plan on which the Combined fleet was sent out. The Hon. Mr. Pot.e, brother to the Margo* Was L cat. tar, accompanied by Colonel Roosts, aml Copt. Goor Rev, of the Ordnance, arrived it Cork, on Tuesday last. It is said that a letter direded to the Emperor Della LIN es. at St. Domingo, was lately °poised at the Post Office, in Tortola, written by an opulent merchant in London, in which he congra tulates the sable Chief on his successes, and makes a tender of his services. An order, we understand, was sent to all the out•ports some days ago, instruding our cruisers u detain all American vessels which have On board property not the prqduce of the United States.— This order has been already aEled upon, and several ships have been stopped. The American Consul, it is reported, applied to Government on Tuesday ter an explanation. It has been ascertained, that the American ships have for a length of time been in the pradice of go ing to the Isle of France, and the French ports is the West Indies, to bring away produce, which they fi nally carried into French or Dutch ports. Their usual custom was to touch at an American port, in order to give the cargoes the appearance of being American property s but it is very well known, that such cargoes were never landed. It is in consequence of these proceedings, that the order abovennen. tioned has been issued. Yesterday se'onight the cavalry brigade, consist. ing of the Scots Greys and the 7th and 21st Light Dragoons, under the command of Lord nose, with the Royal Horse Artillery, were reviewed on Rashmere-heath, near Ipswich, in presence of the Duke of RUT LAND. Their several maneuvers ware performed with the stridest military exadness. Capt. CHAaLu Roe Les, who so gallantly eon. mended the Wasimor Castle, in the late vidory over the Combined Fleets of France and Spain, is a na tive of Wells in Norfolk; within four miles of the place that had the honour of giving birth to the Hero of the Nile—with whom Capt. Bor Las was a messmate on their first entrance into the naval set. vice of their c-untry. Yesterday se'nnight, Mr. .1. Lawn, aging Second Master and Pilot of His Nlajesty's gun brig Staunch, was tried for drunkenness and neglect of duty, in having suffered and assisted Mr. JOHN WOOO, Sub-Lieutenant of the brig, to desert whilst a pri. loner at large, was sentenced to be dismissed from his office of Second Master and Pilot, to be rendered incapable of ever being employed as an officer again, and to be imprisoned in the Marshalsea sit months. The squadron under the command of Sir Rosa& r CALDER in the late anion, divided as soon as it was ascertained that the enemy had neither entered Fer. rol nor Corunna. Sir Rai OLMT, with ten sail of the line, resumed his former station off Ferrol ; while Admiral STIRLING, with the remaining four ships, proceeded to the blockade of Rochefor t. • A letter from the Channel Fleet, received yesterday, states, that the Spanish ships belonging to the Combined Squadron, have put into ‘'igo, and that the French have proceeded to Cadiz. It appears, however, im probable, that the fleets of the allied nations should have separated s and it they did, the experience of the last century proves, that the Spaniards, in shelter ing themselves in Vigo, have by no merino placed themselves out of the reach of attack. .• 4.1 gone to the East Indies. We congratulate the Me- / 'titer, upon its prescience and information. The 1 Alimitemr, also, contains an account of the precau- tions taken PA Vienna to preserve the peace of the city, and prevent any further riots. All workmen, etc. are ordered ,to return to their work and to litheir homes.—Their employers nod relatives are re. quired to give in a return of those who do nor, and 1 the military are authorised Coto fire upon any crowds of people who do not disperse when commanded. As we have already :.:ated, there was nothing of a political nature in these riots.—We know that every great city, even the most loyal, prosperous, and Peppy, is 'Wile to such occasional eruptions.—The Meniteur dwells upon this petty business with a ma- licious pleasuzi, mad attaches to it an importance •- • .. _ ....... .

It was received with the most unbounded applause. The infantine Parisce danced with extraordinary elegance. The petit Musical Piece of Utarbrid Luba ( Innocence and Lave) followed, in which this juvenile corps vied with each other in their exertions to please their visitors, who were not only raunerons, but of that rank which must call forth emulation. Their performances were honoured with the pre sence of His Excellency Count De ST Ala atessuto, the Weill AL AMBASSADOR, the PORTE:OEM Ass- ASSAOO a, the Minister from the ELECTOR of HESSE CASSEL. and SirJoste Wit.t.:•ss Anozason, who expressed their approbation by repeated plaudits.
