" CaIIsT•NTINcIP LE. AUGUST le, 1806. " SIR—AS • le French Ambassadar is now ar rived, at , cl as many persons have been ieclined to iinagtne that his pre.cnce might produce some im portant change in the sentimeats ot the Porte, I think it may be siiifictory to the Gentlemen ot this Factory, it I rr..ke inn at quainted with the opinion I have formed respecting the situation of affairs. " I fear we mast expect to see a considerable degree of intimacy between the French Embassy and the Torte, for the reception of the 'Turkish Am bastassfor,•at Paris, has ceriainly been eery gratifying to Ail Government, and it it reasonarae to suppose. that not only those attentions will be repaid, hut that an earnest endeavour will exist to concliate France, by such obsequious behaviour as may appear inju rious to oar interest. At the same time, I cannot persuade myself, that the Turks will Intend so little to their own interest, as to risk the loss of our friend &hip. They are already sufficiently embarrassed with sirietts rebel ion, which has broken out in the neighbourhood of their capital s they must be aware, that their two squadrons, which are now at sea, yereald necessarily fall into our hands, and as we ca peg nothing from them but fair neutrality, they do nut appear to have any motive for thing hostilely against either us or cur ally, Russia. " Yon will perceive that I do not ground my opitrioa on assurances of the Porte. It ts true that they are unceasing and unbounded, but as . . • I have attended more to the real state of things, than to these pro fessiceis. which their interest alone would ever cause thrusts adhere to. lam sure, if they andattood that it is their ioterest, they would preserve their friendship for us ; and, therefore. it is my dyer to be in nil guard. lam inclined to hope, that for t he present, at least, there is no serioes reason for alarm. ti he communicating the contents of this letter to the geutiemen of the faetory, I must beg you to say, that what 1 have written is to be considered as a proof that they may rely on my attention to their concern. in no other way is my letter important— but I have wished them to know, that whether I write or whether I am silent, I do not lose sight of the transits they have at stake in this country.

In the month of Dee rrnher lust, Mr. Fox was on a country visit with the Earl of A Mr. Fox, during th..t period, Was very enwell. He found his constitution was giving way. He was able neither to take the same exercise, or the same diversions es formerly. He laid aside his early rising. and frequently slept after dinner. His friends obsetved the change, with a presentiment of the consequences. Mr. Fox him self was not blind to this advancing weakness. The seeds of his disease began daily to develope them selves, and Mr. Fox was himself conscimq tht he would not five long. ' My life has been ag ueb yond my strength, I had almost said my duty. If I have not sifted much, you will allow that I have spoken much, and I have felt more than I have either aged or spoken. My constitution has sunk under it. I find myself unequal to the business upon which you have written ; it must he left to younger men. I think moreover that it will be a thankless labour. I expek nothing from ---. ' !is a sword of state, which is borne in procession on solemn days, but is never allowed to be employ ed ; it is too old and rusty to cut. This is what I v ___„..„._ said to Lord --es—, and I perfally agree with him.' " One of the friends of Mr. Fox had applied to him for his concurrence and aitiee support, in an affair of some importance, and which has since proved a bone of contention between the different members of the party. It would not be pardona ble to speak more folly upon this sobjeft ; suffice it to say, Mr. Fox declined any active support, any lead ing concurrence in this business, from Ole state of his health. " Mr. Fox was confined to his bed many days during December, and was once very seriously in disposed, his legs swelled, and he took largely of decoCtion of the woods,. under the impression, that he was suffeting from the scurvy. I " it was peculiar to Mr. Fox, that he had formed 1 in his own mind a kind of philosophic theory of medicine. He referred every thing to two causes, impurity of blood, and the habit of the stomach. He seldom, therefore, consulted a physician ; for the most part prescribing to himself, and even mix ing his own medicines. •' He had no suspicion that be was dropsical, and perhaps by this error contributed to confirm and aggravate his disease. He entered on a course of medicine, as if for the scurvy ; and feeling, very early in the period of his complaint, an uncommon weakness of stomach, he imputed it to an insuffi cient digestion. The erroneous management had' certainly very bad effefis. "• He was in this state when he returned to town in January. Political affairs—the situation of his party began to wear an important aspen. Mr. Pitt Was declared irrecoverable so early as the beginning of January, and in a consultation about the 10th, it l t erm announced that his death might Le daily ex vetted. "The necessary aaivity of such a time, banished from Mr. Fox every sense of his weakness ; be ex erted himself in a manner which of itself would have „ruined his constitution. Once, and once alone, he maployed a very remarkable expression ; Pitt has died io January—perhaps I may go off before * Jane. Mr. lox said this walking up Pall-Mall, as ~be entered the door of Nichols, the Bookseller. A' :gentleman who was with him, Mr. T—, said something in reply. Nay, said Mr. Fox again,l begin -to think that my complaint is not unlike Pitt's ; my stomach has been long discomposed, I feel my con.' stitution dirsaltHag. " It is known to the friends of Mr. Fox, that, in the interval of the death of Mr. Pitt. and the ap pointment of the new Ministry, Mr. Fox cape a tienced much vexation and great anxiety. " His health suffered so much under these fro, agues, that his appetite sensibly decreased, and hill legs alternately swelled, and became reduced: Hi I was insensitkle to it whilst in aCtion, but WAS SeaSeSt. 1 but for a short time before he was seized with a sire; i 1 .ishnes. of the stomach : no medicine could relieve him of this most uneasy sensation. He was °lwo compelled to retire from table, and recline upon a sopha. He refused to consult the faculty ; he en deavoured to impute these alarming symptems to temporary anxiety, which would pass over with the Zallse." oseisee=ta , Mr. Joins ANISaISODI, late merchant in Dublin . , was one of the p isseneers lost on board the Kist Geurge packet.

One of .the robbers, with an airtotilly un embarrassed, informed Mrs. Minis, that they were tradespeople out of employment ; that distress drove them to that trade, in order to obtain a livelihood, and that if the ladies would. be kind enough to part with ti:eir property, in cash and jewels, they would retire without offering either foree or insult.
