LONDON, JULY 29, ISoz. ,Part journals of the 26th inst. reached us this morning. The Ll6niteur of that date contains an article which we are at a loss to reconcile to the condua of the French Government, 'in haying sent an Agent to this Country to negotiate a Commercial Treaty. The article we allude be found under the Paris !lead. Upon this subjeet we are unwilling to speculate, except upon the most certain fou2dation, but ,ve cannot help surmising, that some difficulty may have arisen in the progress of the Treaty, to induce us to abandon -which, the French Government probably throw out the hint that ho Commercial Arrange ment will take place. To the discretion, however, and to the firmness of our Government, we trust for the conciliation that may preserve Peace, and at the same time for • the dignity and spirit - that will ensure the maintenance of every just right. The French Troops have at length received orders to evacuate Helvetia. • Yesterday the PRINCE of WALES left London for Brighton, where he will remain during the Races, likewise during those of Lewes. Mr. PITT went to Walmer Castle on Friday last. The same sense of justice, which some time since (when the decease of Colonel BARRE was daily ex_ petted) was said to haVe induced Mr. _Alio moToN to mention Mr. PITT as his Successor, will doubt_ less be exerted now the event of the Colonel's death has taken place. It should be recolleftel that Mr. PITT, when in office, forbore to take this place himself, or give it to another ; but with . .the view of saving to the Public a pension of 30001. per ann. held by the late possessor of it, he gaVe it to him. No Minister has ever shewn a brighter ex ample than Mr. in that steady perseverance s.vitlewlich he withstood every opportunity of con _ cenzrating any lucrative situation in himself.

The mongrel Jacobin-Whig Coalition which now shamelessly tramples upon Public Principle, suc ceeded' yesterday in giving their. newly adopted Child and Champion a large majority on the .Poll of the day. The Friends of the Constitution may, howeve:, yet triumph by means of great and im mediate exertions :- by exertions which arc now peremptorily caged for, if they have any regard for The blessings they have enjoyed under that Con stitution,, or any wish to make a stand against the inroads of Jacobinism. We trust that the Friends of the Constitution will not be less aftive than the Emissaries - of Jacobin Whiggism, and that the only remaining day of the Poll will witness the com plete triumph of the former. At the close of the Poll yesterday the numbers were, For GEORGE BYNG, Esq. 3553 WILLIAM MAINWAVING, Esq. zSo Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, Bart. 2791 On the 27th of July, T SAT, a set of Persoti s en. tered into a trading comps 1, having for its object to build a Mill and Ovens, in order to grind Flour and make tread at a cheap rate. The Subscriptions to this undertaking were Two Guineas for each Share, payable by Instalments of One Shilling a week. —A year from the making of this Contract expired on Tuesday last, and since that time upwards of 300 Persons have been ;)und to Swear that they have, by this strange Subscription, acquired a Free hold Property, (though the Mill is not yet ereCted) " of the clear yearly value of 4.09. over and above " all dedudions, rents, and charges, payable out " of, of in resped of the same, arid that they " have been in the adual possession or receipt of " the rents anar profits thereof for their own use " Twelve Calendar; Months !l!" 'Tis indeed useless to make any animadversion on the minor circumstances attending such unprecedent ed and illegal transaaions; it sufficiently explains - the motives .of those who have so long kept the County. of Middlesex in a state of anxiety and dis order by a protraaed Poll. It is said, that the Merchants interested in the Turkish Trade, have made inquiries of Govern ment to ascertain whether that branch of our Com merce would be injured by the troubles which at present prevail in every quarter of the Ottoman Empire. A Deputation from the Members of, the Turkey Company waited on Lord I - lAwicEsßußY, by appointment, on'Tuesday, - to obtain information on this subject, and to request the accommodation of one or two ships of war in case the progress it by the Insurgents shoUld render it expedient for the Company to remove any part of the English Property - from that quartet. We are happy to learn, that the answer returned by Lord HAWKES BURY, was perfeftly satisfaaory. His Lordship assured them, that there existed no ground of ap prehension with regard to the safety of British pro_ petty in the Turkish Dominions ; but that as Go_ vernment - had generally kept up a small Naval Force in'the . Levant, he would make the necessary appli— cation to the Admiralty for the appointment of two Frigates tothat•Statio'n, which would remain there for the protcaion of the trade. His Lordship also. informed the Deputation that His Majesty's, Ministers had no reason to suppose that . attempts , wonid be made from any quarter to violate the integrity of the Turkish Empire. With regard to the concession which the Porte is reported to have made to, France, of the free n avigation of the Black Sea, his Lordship observed, that Govern ment had no knowledge of any agreement to that circa having taken place ; but if the Turkish Go vernment should think it proper to make an arrange_ meat of this nature with the French Republic, the Deputation might . rest assured that no /privilege would be granted to. the French Trader, which would not be equally-enjoyed by the Subjeas of HIS BRITANNIC MAJESTY. The depression of the Funds has been imputed, in a great degree, to the Cash employed during the Election. This may certainly be considered as one of the causes. But many Foreigners have recently sold out to a considerable extent, and the Fund' Holders are all senitive Plants whenever any thing extraordinary occurs. The usual artifices .to in, crease the depression have, no doubt,. been put in praaiee ; and a renewed friendship between FRANCE and TURKEY, is now the great Bugbear that ap_ pears to govern the politics of the Stock Exchange. Such is the estimation in which Mr. MAINWAR INGas gencral ehdrader as a mnn is held, that many have polled for him on that ground only, who differ with him in political opinion. The County of Middlesex have reason to thank, its new Candidate for the introduCtion of more turbulence and profligacy; in the coarse of a it'ec , weeks, than most probably had ever disgraced it before, and of which the taint will long affea the morals and the manners of the lower orders of its inhabitants. The Burdettitts fixed upon a very proper place for their meeting when they selefted MO,ORqATE, as it is contiguous to that part of Bedlam which is assigned to " dangerous and incurable Lunatics." It is ,curious that very opposite.circumstances should sometimes produce the same effea. Thus Sir GEoltor: CORNEWALL, who succeeded in his Elelion, is said to hive shed tears, and MT. WILBERFORCE Bt RP, who was ousted at Coventry, did the same, and certainly with better reason. The Abbe DE LILLE has lately taken unto him self a wife. As he is very far advanced in life, 'he perhaps only intended to adopt the plan of Mo 1.1 E, and try the merit of his Literary Works by the test of female judgment and sensibility. But the Abbe, though unfortunately blind, has shewn mote taste than MoLintE, in chusing for his critical Arbitress a . y.;ung woman. NAVAL NEWS. PORTSMOUTH, JULY 28.

Arrived this morning, the Earl Howe from In dia, and she proceeded through the Downs for the River, without anchoring. The Autumn Sloop of War is arrived from Sheer; ness, and remains. After the lapse of years some glimmering of in formation has reached Europe with respect to the fate of the French Navigator PcitousE. Our Readers may recoiled that he sailed on a voyage of discovery with two Frigates, and that after per forming part of his voyage, he touched at Botany Bay. From the period of his sailing from New South Wales, no account was ever received from him. A vessel was sent 'from France under the command of D'ENTR EC ASTEMIX in search of him, but ,the search was ineffedual. At length, an Ame rican ship, which had traversed the South Sea, brought to the Mauritius in February last some in formation, which gives strength to the conjedures that have been formed of the unfortunate Navi - - gator's having been massacred with all his Crew. We refer our Readers to the following article, ex. traded from the Moniteur of Sunday last. EXTRACT FROM A JOURNAL ENTITLED THE NOUVELLISTE DES ISLES DE FRANCE AND DE LA REUNION. Ilfaurit:us, Feb. 14. Captain LIG grTor.o, Commandcr of tlic American Ship the Charlotte, arrived from China, says, that he learnt, in his voyage to the South Sea, at the Sandwich Isles, and on the North West Coast, that before the Revolution of France, without being able to determine precisely the year, a vessel from Brest had, in the month of April, anchored in the Bay of Comshervar, a_Bay, which is 54. degrees 13 minutes North, opposite Englefield Bay, in the Island, called Queen Charlotte's Island. That this vessel having a great quantity of sick, was attacked by the Islanders, who got on board at the moment the Crew were employed in reefing the sails ; that they massacred the Captain, who was on the deck, and the whole Crew, with the excep tion of a young man, whose fate is unknown. It is added, that the Islanders destroyed the ves sel, after having unloaded it. It is to be preSumed that this vessel is M. LA. PEROUSE'S, or her com panion. - This morning arrived a Mail from the Leeward Islands, brought to Falmouth by the Prince Ernest Packet, in five weeks. Last Friday the Canilidates at Lewes Eleaion ex changed their lists of challenged Votes, preparatory , to the Scrutiny which is to take place before the Re turning Officers on the 16th of August. On Wednesday se'ennight the men of the late Ripon Loyal Volunteer Infantry had the whole of the Officers' pay, from the first inrollment in August 1794, divided amongst them, in conse quence of a promise made to those who served honourably to the end of the war ; several of them received upwards of 131., and msot of them T Tl. TrlC_ 'NCI men could pov.ibly behave better, nor more regularly attend the field-days, and they were among the first who offered theit ser vices to march to any part of England in 'ease of invasion. When the interest, nay when the existence of the Country was at stake, Mr. Fox could not be drawn from his retirement to attend his duty in Parliament. A Mutiny in the Navy, or the conclusion of a De_ finitive Treaty of Peace, were objeas too insignifi cant to deserve the attention of that great Patriot. But he can shake off his lethargy when it is neces sary to speak for Horne Tooke, or to canvass for his Pupil. A man was deteled coming out of a Boarding.. School at St. Alban's, at two o'clock on Monday morning, having with him several articles he had stolen. .He was on the same day tried at Hertford Assizes, convicted, and sentenced to seven, years transportation! The tremendous thunder storm, which took place on Saturday se'nnight in Yorkshire, did considerable mischief in various parts : among other accidents in consequence, two cows at Malsis Hall, near Kild wick, in Craven, and two horses near Bolton Bridge, were struck dead by the lightning.

LAsr night THEIR MAJESTIES and the PR IN- C ESSES, accompanied by His Royal Highness the DUKE 'of GLOUCESTER, and PRINCESS SOPH /A, walked on the Esplanade, and afterwards spent the evening at the Lodge. This morning Fits MAJESTY, and PRINCESS CHARLOTTE Of WALES bathed. • HIS MAJESTY, accompanied by PRINCESS JopHI A, Mr. GItosVENoR, Colonels FITZRoY and CART WRIGHT, on I,„rseback, rode over Ridgeway Hills, and through the Parish of Upway. HER MAJESTY and the PRINCESS SOPHIA Of GLOUCESTER, PRINCESS CHARLOTTE Of W AL ES, attended by 'Ladies CATHCART, STAWELL, CRAN LEY and ELGIN, and Miss ONSLOW, in Landaus and Sociables, rode over the Hills to Ormington,Boxwell, and Preston, and afterwards paid a morning visit to the PRINCESS CHARLOTTE of WALES. REVIEW ON WIMBLEDON COMMON. ABOtJT a fortnight since the Regiment of the Scotch Greys Royal Dragoons, commanded by the late brave ABERCROMBY, was removed into Sur rey, for the purpose of being reviewed by His Royal • Highness the PRINCE of WALES, and yesterday was the day appointed for this ceremony. About seven O'clock'six Troops marched from Croydon anJ from Kingston, for Wimbletkn common, where they arrived soon after 'nine o'clock. Most unfortunate lyit then began to rain. No place offered for their shelter, and they Were completely exposed to thg weather. About ten o'clock' the DUKE of YORA. arrived on the Common in his post-chariot and four from his house in Portman-square. He had not arrived many minutes before he received an express from the PRINCE Of WALES, dated past nine o'clock, saying that he was indisposed with a cold, and that in such a morning it was therefore impossible for him tocomc out without endangering his health. The Revievi .commenced before *DUKE of Yoltit, as Commander in Chief. As soon as His Royal Highness arrived - on the Common, he alighted from his carriage and mounted his Charger. His arrival being announced, Gen. Du NDAS, the Commander of the Regiment, and a number of other General Officers, met him, and con•• duCtecl him to the spot where the Regiment had formed a line two deep. The. DUKE , rode past each line, the men having their swords presented to him. His Royal Highness then took his station, and the whole Reginient marched past him by sub-divisions' and threes, instead of single files, on account of the weather, the rain at this time falling in torrena- Havinggone through their various marching move ments and different manaravrings, :hey were divided' into rour squadrons. Each .squadron charged sepa rately. Between the charges skirmish firing took' place, in. imitation of the approach of the Enemy- This concluded with a general charge of the whole- It was allowed to be very corredly performed, and gave high satisfadion to the DUKE. The weather continuing unfavourable, they did not go through the - broad-sward - exercise, not did they dismount. They formed a line two deep, and marched up to his Royal Highness and gave him a Royal Salute, which finished tine Review, The DUKE of YORK imme diately after left the ground. The word of command was given tvith great pre' cision by Colonel BOTHWELL. Had the weather proved 'favourable, the review' of this highly esteemed Regiinent would have been great treat. - The men who forrn•zd the rear rank had the greatest difficulty in managing their horses, as the ground, from the heavy fall of rain, became literally mud, and when they were upon the charger the front rank horses sent back* such showers of it, that those in the rear could hardly see. An express was sent from Carlton House soon , • after nine o'clock, to order the horses sent on fa the PRINCE to return, which met them on the other side of Putney-bridge. JERSEY, JULY 13. HIS MAJESTY has been graciously pleased to aP' 4 , point th e R e v. Dr. E D W ARD D UPR Rector (P. St. Heliers, to the Deanery of the Island of Jersey: vacant by the death of the Rev. F. Le BRETON. A more proper person could not be selected for that im' e portant Office, whether we consider the suavity cm his manners, the mildness of his deportment, or the profoundness of his learning. The. new Piece forth-coming at the Haymarke!. Theatre on Saturday, under the title o f Th e V o ice 0 1 Nature, is said to be written by Mr. BoADEN. POWELL is talked of as a proper person to r3k e the direaion of Drury-Lane Theatre in thAlbsenc e of KEMBLE. POWELL is a quiet unassuming mat' , who would, no doubt, discharge the duties of th e situation with fidelity and discretion. Among the many improvements which are ing for the ex tension'and convenience of the Harbou r of Sunderland, is a new dry dock, which is alreadi begun, on the North side of the water, near th e bridge, and which promises to be of great utility r c i the shipping- of that port. It will be hewn out th,e solid stone, and of course will be completed ; 1$ a 'very considerable expence. . Yesterday died at her house in Brook-stree t ' - Grosvenor-square, in the 75th year of her age, Mrs' LAWRIINCII.

On Saturday se'nnight some villains attacked th e . Castle of Drimnah, near Cruilin, where Mr. L 0 0; Izottp, of South Great George's -street, Dublin, ° that time resided, in order to plunder him. T he latter, in attempting to escape from the offenders out of a window, unfortunately broke his thigh' and was brought into town on Sunday morning 0. a" bier. The ruffians entered the place, robbed of some cash and wearing apparel, and also to e away Mr. LoNoroßD's watch. It is remarka b l e that his servant-maid would not stay in the Casi' s that night, it is therefore imagined that she `vile in the plot with the offenderswho committed tlt depredation, •- /
