Ott the 10th of this month, a Hag of truce ap. pelted AP the port of Calais. The ptincipal objeCt of its mission was, to renew the verbal assurances, that the fishing vessels would meet with no obstruc tino, if they did not pass the limits of two leagues from the English coast. If it be the intention of the English Government to leave the fishery free, why act notify it in an cfficial manner ? After what ass already happened, little confidence can be plaited is such a.surances. It is not improbable that curi osity alone occasioned the visit of this flag of truce to the coast of France.

It is litavtim said, that Dr. Jenner, so celebrated for the discovery of the cow-pox, addressed himself directly to the Emperor, to obtain the liberty of Dr . Winiharn and Mt. Williams both of whom are his friends, and piasters at Verdun. The request of Dr. Jcnner was a long time in reaching its destina tion ; but when it was rabmitted to His Majesty. an order was issue., for their liberation. These two Englishmen a,ll set out in a few Jays for Morlais, where they will embark. Lastly, we are informeJ, that another English prisoner, the son of a skil:til astronomer, And himself intirely ievoted to the study of the sciences, has just obtained lihtrty to return to his country. It is added, that several Members of the Institute strongly itmereved themselves in favour of this young E• eishman, and that their solicitations were mot quite onavaili•ig. These faits, which afford IN proofs in favour of a general peace, may, perhaps, serve to chew with vrt.it spirit the negotiations have been commenced.

Thus it appears that Russia no longer keeps any measures with the Turks : after having subjugated Servia, she encourages the sevolt of the Montene grins, prepares armaments, and summons her allies to Corfu. It is even in the midst of Turkey that .he enlists men to serve against the Porte. She Al lows the Greeks to bear her flag. and makes it sub servient to the purposes of a contraband trade, in order to supply her armies.—(3limilear.) aAr ISSON. JULY S. It is reported that M. Otto, Minister of France, will soot make a journey to Paris; a presumption which is, perhaps, founded only on the departure of Madame Otto, who has proceeded with all possible speed to the capital of the French empire, to attend on one of her brothers, who is dangerously ill ; but, as the public mind is engaged with peace with England, and M. Otto was Ambassador at Landon during the Negotiation which led to the Treaty of Amiens, it may easily be imagined what causes are assigned for his journey. It is, however, uncertain whether his departure has ever been thought of. A list of reforms proposed as the basis of the Con corde between the Holy See and Germany, is handed about here ; we are silent on this important subjeet; tbecause proposals are very different from lefinitive articles, and reports are frequently no - of people who are not' consulted. Though the Diet has decreed that its long vaca tion shall continue till the month of 03ober, it has been agreed, that if, in that interval, any important Message on the part of foreign powers, or of a member of the Germanic Body, should be addressed to the Diet. the Ministers at Ratisbon should as semble, and take cognizance of the fad, with the usual forms. This precaution induces a still stronger belief. that some proposal of great mo ment will be submitted to the Diet. ConjeSutes on this head are carried to a great length. It is said. that the fate of the city of Frankfort is to be decided. that it is to be given to the Elector A reh- Chancellor, and thus to become the future seat of the Met. AAAAA TORT, JULY 9. For some months past the great cloth manufac tures established in Saxony, in the Prussian states, and in Bohemia, have resumed the atlivity which they had lost ever since the period when the pro. dotlions of English manufaltures gave such a fatal stroke to the manufaCtures of Lower Germany.— The cloths of the latter are not so fine as those of England. but, on this account, they are in the great er request in Switzerland, Upper Germany, Hun gary, and the Levant. The Bohemian and Prus sian mansfaCturers have, within these sir months, received many orders for blue and green cloths. The cassimeres of Saxony are fast improving, and begin to rival those of England. A circumstance favourable to the Saxon manufactures is the dimi nution in the price of wool. That of the best qua lity, sold last year for 33 rix-dollars, new fetches no more than 40. This extraordinary fall is as cribed to the absence of foreign *volts, who came every year to buy up this primary material. Suns, 'Ulla 41. The Consul of the late King of Naples, who kept up a very alive correspondence with Palermo and Gaeta, and was endeavouring to open a com munication even with Naples. has been arrested here by the command of His Holiness. UAOCt, JULY 15. The Ambassador of France, General Dupont Chaumont, gave a grand ball the day before yes terday, at which all the most distinguished persons of this place were assembled. Their Majesties the King and Queen bonnuied this entertainment with their presence. The King was present at the dancing of the first friedoVe ; the Queen did not retire till after supper; the dancing continued till dsy.light. FROM TIM 1I tC:I PAIMRS. wanve, JULY 19. At an early hour this morning, the King and I Queen of Holland set nut from their Palace in the Wood for the waters of Wished, followed by a part of their Court. The King, before he set out ova bis journey, which the necessary care of his he.olth made him tinfertake, ordered an important move ment among tl•e French troops in this kingdom. They are going, for the greater pare. to quit the whole Dutch territory, on which only two regiments of infantry will remain stationed.

LONDON, SATURDAY, JOLT 26. Last night we received, sr gleans, Paris Papers to the Oath, and I)utch to the i'.3l instant. The latter confirm the account which we lately gave from our 1 3 , iaratt. Correspondence, of the bad health of the new King of Hot. c arm. At all the fees and balls given in honour of his accession to the Thr one, he was obliged to retire at an early hour, leaving 1 is august consort behind ; and on the 19th instant they both set out from their House in the Wood at the Hague, for the waters of Wisbasl, in Wetteravia. It is openly avowed in the Dutch Papers, that ill health is the cause of this journey. —The Royal Pair travel hietende through their dominions. Few Sovereigns in Europe could do so with less diffi:ulty—the parties are very little known in Holland. A letter from Raticbon, in the Paris Papers, states, that the report of the departure of M. OT ro for Paris, or. ginated in the jourrey of Madame Otto for that city, to which she was called by the illness of a near relative. We stated, as a reason for crediting the report, that M. Otto having been the French Minister at London, doting the n.gociation, which lei to the Treaty of Amiens, his presence in Paris may be desirable at this particular moment. The French Editor appears to entertain the same opinion, while be endTa yours to conceal it.—M. eat c has had several conference. at Paris; hut, with respeekto F.ngland and France, the Paris Papers &alma, that the fa& whic`i hive come to the , r knowledge; afford no proofs in favour of a general peace. and only 'hew. that the negociation has commenced in a spirit of benevolence.—lt is also to be observed. that the French funds have fallen. The five per cents. were, on the Ital. at hi fr. They had been above 66. The 15th of August is mentioned on some of the papers. as the probable commencement rf the grand military fctt.val ; others state, that it will not take place until September. Previous to the departaie of King Loris from the !fagot.. he isned an order for the return of all the French troops in Holland to France. Preparations have been mho making for the reran of the French army ia Germany. We ih-old not be surprised, if the delay of the grand fit shall have wrigioated in an 'lineation. no the part of Naeor eon, of being able to ad! to its eclat, by asmosecing a peace with England or R..tst,a.

The t.2/1 ktertesus was emba:sel ow Theriday is tle boirits, as was pin of the Staff Corps, two com panies of Artillery, and five companies of the 95th R eg iment, or Rifle Corps. The embarkation tf the brigade of Guards commenced on 1'1,11711.qt, and would be finished yesterday morning, at Mat. gate. A detachment of the Staff Corps, and Cap. twin Decaso.'s company of Artillery, were on Monday embarked at Portsmouth. On Tueslay and Wednesday,. Lieutenant-General Sir Jouc Du v LE'S Regiment, the 87th, or Prince of WA tss's Royal Irish Heroes, Were embarked. There is not a finer body of men in the service than this Regi. ment : it is commanded by Sir EDWARD BUTLER. One thousand of these fine fellows embarked in high spirits. On Tuesday, three companies of the Rifle Corps were embarked at Portsmouth, and Ice the same service (supposed to be the remote one), on Thursday, and yesterday morning, the 45th Regt. commanded by Major Nicra oi.xs. This completes the embarkation. A large Medical Staff accom: panics the Portsmouth Expedition. TrTUS Beaks., Esq. brother of Sir EDWARD BURY, is the Staff Surgeon of this Expedition. As soon as some viaualling transports shall have arrived, this Expe dition is ordered to sail. Three line of battle ships, and two frigates, are in readiness to sail; it is sup posed to accompany them. His Royal Highness the Cosssaarna-m-Cottr goes down immediately to Portsmouth. and is him self to go on board. and inspect the troops before they sail. Admirals Mowracot and Maitite are making preparations for the Duke of Yoat at Portsmouth. Thursday morning, the rafts were all prepared for the embarkation of troops at Ramsgate ; and the troops were erpeiled in town yesterday. Ooe of the transports had come into that harbour, with some of the Royal Staff Corps on board, and all the Officers belonging to the Staff are now in Ramsgate. The lst Brigade of Guards, from Chatham, has, in consequence of the transports being arrived, begun its march for Ramsgate in four divisions— the first yesterday morning, the other divisions follow on the succeeding days, and the whole will be em barked, as they arrive at Ramsgate, this day, to morrow, Monday, and Tuesday. The Brigade of Guards march from Deal, for Chathain. in four divisions, on Tuesday nett, and three following days. By this movement the barracks at Deal ate left open for the halt of the 62d regiment, from Shornclaffe, and 594 (Ist battalion), from Braboren Lees, which will, by that time, probably be on their march for embarkation. The 2d Battalion of the 5‘2 Regiment, removed yesterday from Maidstone to Reading Street Barracks, on account of the ap proaching Assizes. Our Dover leuer of Wednesday stated, that the orders for the transports to proceed to Lasagne had been countermanded. The fa 6 is, that the large transports were too large to go into the har bour, and, therefore, were dire&ed not to enter it.— The Guards are certainly going to Sicily. The troops that embark at Portsmouth are going first to the Cape. What their ulterior destination is we have not heard. Yesterday, at twelve o'clock, se►eral Gentlemen from the city attended, by appointment, at Lord Gitawvitces Office at the Treasury, where they were met by his Lordship and Lord licrtar Parry, to bid for the first of the three Lot teries for 1806. They stated to their Lordship' that the price they were enabled to offer, wall be extremely low, on account of the heavy leases they had sustained by the purchase of the last Lottery. They, therefooe, proposed to bid for i the three Lotteries together, as they would then be able to give a higher ptice. Lord GRISVII LI was not prepared to rive a APci• silt answer to ;his propositier.. and therefore took until Monday neat to consider ; on which day, at twelve o'clock. the gentlemen are appointed to at tend again. rf Though we are of opinion that no dissolution Pirliament will take place immediately. yet cots derable aftivity of canvas has taken pls.-o in Jit• terent semis sod concties—Yorkshire, Hampshire, Herefordshire, Kent.
