PaLEM QPIS :CLRL rALsum AuDEA LONDON, AUGUST 27, 1802. WE yesterday stated the circumstance of General LASN ES, the French Envoy, having suddenly and . un_ expeEtedly left Lisbon on the morning of the loth inst. On the r4th, an official notice of this circumstance was published in the Gazette of Lisbon, and a Note was sent to all the Foreign Ministers resident there. From these it appears, that no ground of quarrel exists between the French Government and the Court of Lisbon, and we are led to hope, that the French General has aled merely from the warmth and impetuosity of his own tempor, without any orders or instrations from his Government ; in which case we have little doubt this unpleasant occurrehce wiil be satisfadorily adjusted by an ami cable explanation. The following Article appeared in the Official Gazette cf Lisbon on the t 4.th. Lis.son, r..vb August. ' 4 ' General LAsN Is, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister I. s lnipotentiary of the French 4epublic, left this Court in the morning of the loth instant, a measure which he took lrom his own proper will, and which is the more un. expedei, as have been the constant and repeated civilities and attentions paid to him by this Court, in demonstra. tion of the constant friendship, perfeli harmony, and good understanding subsisting between this Monarchy and the French Republic —as there does not exist any actual ob jea of discussion between the two Governments which can alter, in the slightest degree, the happy relations of this Country with France, relations which this Court desires •filca:iously to promote, and even to render more intimate." COPY OF THE NOTE OF THE MINISTER or FOREIGN AFFAIRS, TO THE DIFFERENT MINISTERS a E ST. DENT AT TIIE COURT OF PORTUGAL. " General LASNES, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the Fretwit Republic, havingacioßted the unexpected resolution of withdrawing from the Court, His Royal Highness the PRINCE REcLii - r, My Master, has or dered me to communicate to you this event, which is the more unlooked for, as he had received the most ardent and distinguished testimonies of regard, founded upon the most Perfea harmony, and entire good understanding subsisting between this Monarchy and the French Republic; and this too at a moment when there existed no objea of discussion which could in the smallest degree affect the friendly rela tions which His Royal Highness desires, and will make it study to promote. You will have the goodness to give • notice of the aboye to your respective Courts," `'lE this day give a: length, the Report of the French Minister for Foreign Affairs, and the Plan of Indemnities agreed on beiween Frewe and Russia, the substance of which we gave in our Paper of yesterday. This measure will greatly facilitate the Proceedings of the Diet at Rarisbnz, as two months only are- allowed for its discussion of, and decision upon the Plan, and little doubt can be entertained but that it will he fully adopted. Some such measure was perhaps necessary to secure the tranquillity of Europe, as from the number of clash. ing interests in the Diet, it was hardly to be ex_ peeled that unanimity was to be obtained upon any one point. According tp intelligence which we have received. fr )in Paris, the English Newspapers have aaually been prohibited in the Coffee-Houses, and Reading_ Rooms in that Capital. The French Journals still continuing to mike Extrads from them, this prohi bition appears to be only intended to prevent those unpleasant discussions from taking place, which might have arisen from Articles inserted in some of the English Papers, which were nor diaated by the greatest regard to the amicable relations' existing between the two Countries, or couched in the most temperate language. His Royal Highness the PRZNCE of WALES was expeaed to return to Brighton last night. The ArtcrintsHor of.CANTERBVIty, with his Family, goes to Brighton for a month. A House is taken for his Grace on the east of •the Steine, for the above period, at fifteen guineas per week. A Warrant, signed by the Lords of the Treasury, has btsen received by the Commanding Officer, in the Isle of 'Night, to attach 120 acres of land to the Barracks, in the Forest of Parkhurst, for the conveniency and accommodation of the pepOt Of. ricers and their Horses.

THE weather, which has for some time been un. commonly fine, has completely changed, and is now become so extremely cold and boisterous, that for the last two or three evenings, the Steine has been nearly deserted. Mr. and Mrs. POPE are performing here with great eclat ; they appear tonight in the Charatters of Charles Surface and Lady Teazle. The prat - lice of Smuggling, which during the War was nearly suppressed on this Coast, has re. commenced with redoubled vigour, and is carried on with a degree of boldness, and to an extent, that is astonishing. This place still continues uncommonly full, though the company is not quite of so fashionable a descrip tion as formerly ; there are not many families of distinction here. The Pa tzic Eis expeded back in a day or two. The news from Lisbon yesterday, occasioned great uneasiness in the City, and as it was Settling Dal for Coneoh, and the Funds were heavy, it had a considerable effect in assisting their depres sion. Several Defaulters were yesterday declared, some of them men of respetlability in the Stock Exchange. On Tuesday forenoon Sir WILLIAM RULE, Sur veyor, and Commissioners Tucx ER and HAR MOOD, of the Navy, paid a visit to the Royal Naval Hospital at Plymouth, for the purpose of in speEting it. Earl ST. VINCENT, Capt. MARKHAM, and Mr. GARTHSHOR E, Lords of the Admiralty, with Ge. neral BENTHAM, Mr. MARSDEN, Secretary, and Sir A. S. HAMOND, Comptroller of the Navy, ar rived at Plymouth Deck on Tuesday last about noon. On Wednesday there was to be held in tho Dock.yard a full Board of Admiralty and of the Navy, when several Plans for the improve_ ment of Cawsand Bay and tile Dock-yard, parti cularly a Pier in the former Bay for the security of the Shipping in violent S.W. winds, were to b e considered. There is also a Plan for a Wet Dock, to receive Men of War rigged. The inspcaion of the Dock-yard, Vidualling,Office, the Brewery, and Ships in Ordinary, was likewise to take place. Their Lordships will stay a week or ten days at furthest. On their Lordships arrival, Major-Ge neral BowATER immediately sent a Captain's Guard of Royal Marine Grenadiers to attend on them. His Lordship thanked the Officer, but politely dis_ missed the Guard.---Tomorrow Earl Sr. Vt ?? .. CENT holds a Naval Levee at the Fountain, Dock, which will be fully attended by all the Naval Offi_ cers and Officers of Royal Marines-at that Port. On Monday Lord • NELsoN received the Free dom of the City of Hereford. He arrived in the City soon after twelve o'clock, from Mr. WEST PH ALEN'S seat, near Ross, accompanied by Lady HANII LTON, and Sir W ILL I Am., and his nephew, (Mr. NELsoz.z.). As soon as his Lordship's carriage approached the town, the populace took the horses from it, and drew it to the Hotel, wher e he was received by the Duke of NoR.FoLx, who is the Recorder of Hereford. From thence they proceeded to the Town,liall, the music of the H-refordshite Militia playing " See . the C , pici , ieriog Hero comes!" His Lord ship here received the Freedom of the City, deli vered in a box cut from the Apple.tree, which is emblematic of the County and City. The Ad,. dress was couched in a stile of extraordinary pa negyric on his Lordship's Services. His Answer was expressed in terms of great modes t y : his Lord ship. acknowledged he had been a fortunate Com. mander, but what merit he might appear to he entitled to, was much 'more due to the brave Of ficers and Seamen which the government had placed under his command. To their steady bra. very and good condua, was the Nation indebted for the many eminent services which had been rendered to it. The p city had favoured his en. deavours, and in that he placed his greatest re liance. Should the Country ever again be in the situation to demand his services, his whole life would be devoted to it. From the spirit that he had witnessed in the ppiple during his present tour through a part of England, he was confident the Nation had only to be true to itself to defy all the world. - • After the ceremony was concludecir bis Lordship went to visit Hereford Cathedral, a about two o'clock set off for the seat of Lvey,:KNIPH r, Esq. near Ludlow. General LASNE-S •i no great favourite with the Chief Consul of France. In fart, we believe he was sent to Lishon rather in disgrace. The General was probably tired of his banishment, and availed himself of the first pretext for putting an end to SCOTCH BRIGADE.

" 10 apptarance 'was highly military ; its movements were ebrreet its formations were accurate, its firings were close and exaa : and the whole conduti of the Corps de noted a degree of Order and Discipline extremely creditable to Lieutenant• Colonel Mon ao, and the ()Meets of the Re- giment." The. General gave a public dinner to the Officers GARRISON ORDERS. Fort St. George, mi., tSQ2, " In seeing His Majesty's Scotgh Brigade, Lord CLII,•E was prepared to make due allowances for the late disperszd state of the Corps, and the large proportion of Recruits of which it is at present composed: but his Lordship had great satisfaaion in witnessing this morning a performance which would have done honour to the oldest Soldiers, and the most ample preparation. " The whole Review was 'executed in a style of uniform correctness, which renders it equally difficult and unneces sary to particularize the points which were most entitled to approbation. And his Lordship is happy in this opportunity of testifying his high sense of the Credit which is due to the ConduA of Lieutenant-Colonel Mc NR o, and to the atten tion, steadiness and order, of the Officers and Men of this respectable Corps." The Right Hon. the Governor was so well pleased with the appearance of the Scotch Brigade yesterday morning, that his Lordship ordered se veral hogsheads of ale to be distributed to the Men as a mark of his private approbation. All the Officers afterwards dined with his Lordship. CORN EXCHANGE, August 27 .

In consequence of the unfavourable state of the weather yesterday, Mr, GARNERIN gave notice by hand-bills, about three o'clock, that his intend. ed ascension in a B illoon and do cent by a Parachute must be put off until the middle of next month, The w.-)odmen of Arden met at the Forest Hall, on Meriden Heath, last Monday, to shoot at their Grand Annual Target. The great honour con tended for at this target is the rank of Captain of Numbers, which was won in a very superior style by the Earl of AYLESFORD; who presides at this very respeaable Society, His Loniship has been long distinguished among the most eminent Tox ophilites, for combining strength of arm, elegance of attitude, and precision of attn. The I,ieutenant of the Target was strongly con tested by General FINCA, TIIO4.AS and WiLI,I4Nt PALME4, Esqrs. and won by the latter by one 4hot a-head. On Wednesday the Silver Arrow was shot for, and this day the Silver .Bugle will be shot for, at nine score yards each. The Rev.

It is confidently whispered, that a NAN: Lord who was some time ago a defaulter in the 4/Ig, lost near 4.0,0001. in a late gambling transaction of the same kind, which he comprombed by paying about one half of the loss. A respeaable Lottery. Officer-keeper was, we understand, amongst the Defaulters declared yester day at the Stock Exchange. A Gentleman of Lloyd's yesterday gained io,oool. by having given, at the time Omaium was at a premium, a small premium to receive the above sum when it should be at so per Cent. discount, which it reached yesterday fur the first time. Major-Gen. WILI,or, who has had a command in the Mediterranean, in the British service, and who was one of the number deported to Cayenne, with PletsEgitu and others, is arrived at Cowes with his Regiment, called the Chasseurs Britanniques ; the Regiment is disbanded, and the men_ are em_ .bracing the Aa•of Amnesty, by returning to France, in small vessels hired for the purpose. The irregularity in the Fares of Watermen, has often been complained of, and. we'are concerned to nbserve, that in the present state of things, no re dress is attainable. It may be Advantageous to the Public to be informed of this. A Gentleman took a hoat on Tuesday, from Landon-bridge to Limehoose, and the Waterman demanded treble his fare, notwithstanding he was threatened with an inforination. On applying at Waterman's - 1-1411, the Gentleman found that the complaint must he lodged with the LORD • MAYoR. He Ellen repre sented the case to his Lordship, who said, he la mented the extortions whichhe knew were daily praaised by Watermen, but that there were no means of redtess, as the former rates were repealed, and too others had yet been substitttted.

YESTERDAY the final examination took place at the Mansion-House, of •William Codling, Captain of the Adventure Brig, bound from London to Leg horn, and sunk off Brighton on Sunday the 9th instant ; as also of Wm. 114‘Farlane, one of the Owners of the said Brig.. Thomas Cooper, Mate of the said Vessel, who Was almitted as a King's evidence, deposed, that he went on board the said vessel in the Downs, having engaged to make the voyage with her. A short time after lie had come on board, he was prevailed upon by the_ Captain to join in a scheme for sinking the vessel, after having first plundered her. On Saturday night he, by desire. of the Cap. tain, broke, open some boxes containing watches, which the Captain carried ashore at Deal ; the Cap tain proyided augurs for boring holes in the ship's bottom, and the next day, the vessel being near Brighton, the Witness, at the" Captain's' desire, bored several holes in the ship's bottom, The rest of the crew of the vessel, about five or six in number, confirmed the, acc'iunt given by the Mate, and said, that on Saturday,/ as well aa Sun day, the Mate was shut up with the Captain in the cabbin ; that the boyS who, used to attend in the c , ibbin were not permitted to go down ; atul from all those circumstances, the crew suspettcd that something wrong was going forward ; that otr4l_ day finding the ship make a go od deal Of' , kr, they were all busily cmiloyed at the pumps ; but the Captain cried out, " D—n you, never mit:cl her ; d—n the pumps, let her go to the bottom."--- After this, the Mate went down into the hold,. with a crowbar ; and in a short time afterwards the leak was found to have increased prodigiously, and the vessel to be in a sinking state. Signals of distress were then made, and several boats came off to her assistance, but the Captain would not suffer them to come alongside, but called out to them to stand off, saying they should have nothing _ . to do with the vessel till he had done with her. A short time afterwards the ve-ssel sunk, and the crew got ashore in the boats. A day or two afterwards Mr. Easterby and Mr. MrFarlane, two of the ship's Owners, came down to Brighton, and pia the crew their wages, withuut asking any particulaF questions about the loss of the ship. Mr. Brewer, Shipbuilder at Shoreham, said, wh en he 44w the vessel sunk, he fastened ropes to her mast 4 4 part of which was ab...ve water, and drew her very near the shore ;. whil e h e was 6,ing this, he was opposed by the Supercargo, whose name was Read, and who is now in Lewes gaol. The Captain, wh o w as w i t h hi m at t h e time, seemi ed very unwilling to leave the vessel in die Wit ness's possession. He then gave evidei:ee as to the holes in the bottom of the vessel, and having found augurs on hoard her. Mr. Tasher Was present when the ship's hatchet; were opened fur the . ptirpose of examining her cargo. He said that a conOderable number of articles ‘vhich the ship's papers and her clearance at the Custom. house proved to have been shipped on hoard of hai Were not to be found—in-p art i cu l ar , severa l case s of hats, several boxes of Irish I; LINOS, 249 ounces . 01 worked silver, and a variety of other articles were then missing. Mrs. Patterson proved that twenty-two package° of goods found at her house were brought by het from the house of Mr. M'Fatlane. • In this statement she was corroborated by Mari Smith her sister, who lives in her hour,:. The packages were proved to be part of the ship's cargo. Mr. Rolfe, a Musical Instrument-maker, old that by the order of Mr. Easterhy and Mr: M‘Far lane, he made a grand piano.foi-ze and several other musical instruments, particularly organs, to he ex; ported by this Ship Adventure ; since that time, anc,' since the loss of the said Ship, he has seen two or the organs, the one at Mr. Easterhy's, the other ; 1 r Mr. M'Farlane's, and also the grand piano -forte, ai l of which had been entered in the ship's papers for exportation. Thomas Blagdon, a Lighterorm, proved, that bi desire of Mr. Easterby, he carried about ten tons of goods from the Customhouse to Canada Wharfs where Easterby's house is. Several Clerk s of the Custom.house proved th e entries and clearances made at the Custom.houief which were for a much larger quantity'olgoods tha t) were found on board her. Mr. B/acket, a Broker, proved that he bad been commissioned by Mr. M'Farlane, to insure for 10 3 to the amount of soogl. The entire value 'of the cargo did not exceed 35001. The evidence being closed, Captain Codling' and. Mr. Farlane refused at the present stage of the business to make any defence ; but requested.-di g f , they might be admitted to Lail. This was refli" by his Lordship, and they were fully committed .t 0 Nekv b dte, in ord er to ta k e t h e i r tr i a l s at the next Admiralty Sessions at the Old Easter6y and Read will soon be brought up fOr 3 final examination. On Tuesday last the Lady of the Rev. Doar /r MYDDLETON was safely delivered of a Daughter, his Seat of GWaynynog, near Denbigh.
