lIIMINISA, AUGUST 6. This day dispatches were received from our Plenipotentiary at Paris, General St. Vincent; after which, several Councils of State were held, the :tib iae of which, it is understood, was the affairs of Germany. ♦ccording to some accounts, Gradiska has been taken possession of by the French. No Glacial account has yet been received orthe ovacastion of Cattaro. The Coors Gazette contains the following intelli gence, under the head Turkey : The most distressing accounts have lately been received, relative to the alarming progress of the Wechabites. Aly, Paths of Bagdat, is now mak ing every exertion to collea a selicient force to reduce these Arabs to obedience to the Sublime Porte. No accounts have yet been received of the mival and proceedings of the Capudan Pasha in Egypt. On the Sth of July, tie or seven Russian trans ports, and two ships of the line, pawed from the Archipelago WO the Black Sea, and returned with troops, ammunition. and provisions, for the Seven Islands. Disorder ani robbery continually increase in Bul garia and )Resells. Oa the Ed of July. not far from Eighine, a vil lage between Ciorlu and Reps, two rich caravans were intoely plundered, the escort disperser', and the travellers murdered. or sold for slaves. The whole country, from Rodoet apd Adrianople, and along the Danube, is in the greatest fermentation. All the Ayans ere fortifying their eaglet, in order, in case of necessity, to defend themselves to the last wan. A similar commotion obtains among the old body of Janissaries. ALTSTERDI36 At:O. 8. The following are understood to be some of the ippeditioss of the Peace concluded between Russia lrul France The Frosele to evacuate Regalia. and that RA pub! i e to be again placed under the protection of the Porte. The Emperor Napoleon. and his two brothers, to be acknowledged by Russia. as Kings of Naples and Holland. The integrity and independence of the Porte is geereamed by both Powers. The Lanians shall evacuate the Seven Islands, sad dye lonic Republic be placed under the protec tion of the Porte. This evacuation shall take place at the same time that the French army shall leave Germany ; and that army shall retire within three menthe after ad vice has been received at Patti, of the evacuation of Camaro. King Ferdinand shall receive for an indemnifica• tice, the Balearic Wands (Minorca, Majorca, and Yvic a). !Anti, JULY 24. Ow of tie Owen arrived here from Gaeta, and vibe has entered into the service of King Jo seph, asserts positively, that the Prince of Hesse- Philipsthal died on board an English ship of war, three days after he received his wound; but his death was concealed from the garrison, that they might not be disheartened. A thirty-six pound ball from the Fraitch batteries beat down a part of the wall babied which the Prince stood ; the ruins fell on him, and be was taken out from under them, half dead. The English must now soon leave Calabria. and retire to Sicily, for the landing was only made to relieve Gaeta. and has failed of its objeel. The French troops which have arrived here from the rr 'siege, will march to-morrow for Calabria. Yesterday the Minister of Police here issued the following orders :—Whoever does not belong to the civic-national guard, shall, within three days. deliver up all kinds of arms and weapons ; and whoever possesses or deals in gunpowder shall give it up, re ceiving payment for it. After three days have elapsed, domiciliary visits will be made, and the offenders against these orders will be censideted as enemies of the state, and treated as such." Sus peaed persons are daily arrested here. About $OOO of the garrison of Gaeta, officers and - . co mmon-men, have entered into the Neapolitan ser vice. Os the 19th, in the evening, the remainder of the garrison sailed on board four English si.ips of the line, and five fr:gates. According to the accouats of all the atficers who have entered into nto ill.plagf. an audience of Hit Majesty, by the Masters and Aids of the Ceremonies, in the ordinary forms, and introduced by his Excellency, the Grand Master of the Ceremonies. At this audience were presented to His Majesty by bis Excellency the Count de Metternich, Am- bassador front His Majesty the Emperor of Austria Coont de Cz.sky, a Gentleman of Transyl- vania ; the Count de Potosky ; M. de Floret.

It The French Ambassador here, M. Laforest, re ceived, the day before yesterday, a courier from Paris; and immediately afterwards had a long con ference with the Cabinet Minister, Count Rangwits. On the 15th inst. the birth-day of the French Em peror, the French Ambassador will give a splendid entertainment, to which he has already Welted the whole diplomatic corps. it•ove, •uo. 12. Preparations seem to be making for changes on our eastern frontier. Not only the territory of the Grand Duke of Cleves, but also ours, will, it is un derstood, be enlarged. It is said that the English Cabinet, before it con cludes peace with France, will wait for further advices from St. Petersburg. M. D'Oulatil arrived at St. Petersburg on the Sd instant. M. Brantsen will remain as our Envoy at Paris, till he receives farther diredions. Some reports. confer the regal dignity on the Grand Duke of Cleves. veserneff=esoali==ig ==gsfs THE BRITISH PRESS. LONDON, MONDAY. Auousr !S. Mr. Lists, the Messenger, art ived, on Saturday morning, at the Foreign Office, with dispatch es from the Earl of Lavocetta se at Paris Mr. Couavotstea, another Messenger. also arrived in the course of Saturday morning, with dispatches from Mr. ADA ta, our Minister at Vienna. Both dispatches were taken into consideration by a Cabi net Council, which met at the Foreign Office.— The Council was attended by Earl Seances, the Earl of Mot RA, Viscount Howuca, Lords EMI Has GRENVILLE, and H. Perm and Mr. WIND MAM. Immediately after the Council broke up, Mr. Straw, the Messenger, was ordered to hold himself in readiness to set out for France, and he left town at six o'clock with dispatches for the Earl of LAU Drub aLs at Paris. We believe the nature of Mr. Lts:s's dispatches has not transpired; but his arrival proved, that the Earl of Lae Desert:a had still remained in Paris a full week after it was reported here that the negotiation was broken off, and that his Lordship might be daily expelled from that city. This was in itself sufficiesat to make a favourable impression upon the Fends. The Om arum rose from 6to 7f ; and the Consols from 61i to 621. It may be farther observed, that this rise was produced in the face of a report that the Earl of LAUDIRDA La had demanded his pass ports, but that the French Government, in order to gain time, had made an excuse for delaying to grant then.—Lord YARMOUTH arrived in town from Paris, at twelve o'clock, on Saturday night. He landed at Deal, at three o'clock, from the Clyde frigate, which carried hint from Boulogne. His Lordship spent a considerable part of yesterday with the Duke of Qurasseett ay.—He had not left his Grace at six o'clock last evening, and as no Council was held in the coutse of the day, ai.d it was not ascertained that his Lordship had been at the Foreign Office, it is generally sup posed, that he did not bring any dispatches from the Earl of Ia u aaaaa se. We remember, however, that when Lord YARMOUTH lilt returned to Paris, his friends took extraordinary pains to have it be lieved, that his journey was totally unconneted with public business. The Official Gazette of the French Government has, however, since positively averred, that the Negotiation was commenced by his Lord. , ship; and we have since had good reason to believe that his Lordship did carry back dispatches to Paris. .Admitting, however, that upon the present occa sion he has come upon private business, yet we think it very likely, it his Lordship left Paris after Mr. Luse, that the Earl of LAS:DUDA CR did avail himself of the opportunity to send a letter to his Government. Two Hamburgh Mails have arrived since our last, with letters and papers to the 16th instant. All the German Journals announce the death of the Prince of Hesse PHI LI PST ma L on his passage to Sicily. King Louis is expelled at the Hague, from Wis. baden, by the 25th inst. the waters of that place having afforded him no relief. His life-guards are to be increased from 1500 to 3000 mee. By letters from Frankfort, of the 9th instant, we learn, that Na pot tors was expelled there, with the rest of the Kings of the Federation of the Rhine, in the beginning of next month. The French troops from the interior of France, which passed with artillery through Stsashurgh. Ulm, and Auzsburgh, towards Bavaria and Donau werth. are said to have received orders, sine: the 7th, to halt till further orders. On the frontiers of I Saxony, the /'reach receive great reinforcements, to the alarm of the Eledor of SszostY, as well as the Court of Berlin. The general report is, that Sway will undergo, like other parts of Germany, snore political revo lutions. It seems as if His Prussian Majesty is highly dissatisfied with the new c:tanges in Germ.tny great adtivity prevails at Berlin, in the War.Offize and military departments. The diff2.rences between Sweden and Prussia are likely soon to be settled. Ih,a King of S'vraoese opened the Diet of Po• mepania on the 7th instant, with great solemnity, and iw a masterly speech ; in which he says, " I deem it my duty sole:nnly to declare, that by this political change, my Getman territories are by no means separated from their connexion with the Holy Roman grapire. No ! be it far froaime to set such an example at this period I" Letters from Vienna, state, that a large body of French troops took possession of Gradisca, on the Wad ult.; in consequence of which, a great quan. City of artillery and ammunition was immedie.ely sent to Hungary, to supply the dilierent fortresses of that kingdom with the means of defence. We have alio received Paris Papers to the 17thi containing the formal abdication, by FRancts 11. of the Imperial Throne of the exist's. The title will not, however, remain long in abeyance ; should 800 ar a take a fancy to it, "the Pro- tenor of the Confederation of the Rhine" may, by a very s!•ort process, become NAVOLLOS the FlabT, "Emperor of GsaMINY." Government had begun to entertain much anxiety on account of Sir J. B. Waits so. The following communication was, on Saturday, seat to Lloyd's, respeding the gallant Admiral : 4.soode r olice, Akz 29,1406. By diepatehet, received thus morning, from Sir) 16 Warren, brosighaby His Majesty's ship Saracen, arrived at Portsmouth, it appears, that the Vies-Admiral reached Barbadian on the 12th July, and was 02 St. artholornee's on the 14th; when he expressed his intention of pursuing the enemy, atcording to the intelligence he might si.itain of then movemmta. The latest ;authentic acteuets state them to have been off Pottn Rico on the fth, previous to which the are said to have laced joined by a ship of the line, alid two frigates. Insel:igznee has alms been received from Sir A Cochrane, dated off St. Kitt's , %Sth July, in which ao ment:on is made of his having fallen in with S:r 1.8. Warren. A Lisbon Mal arrived on Saturday. The letters will be delivered out this day. IMO -- --- Mr. Fox was much better, yesterday, than he has been for some time past. On Saturday and yes-.: terday, about three o'clock, he took an airir.g ia•l his carriage, in the Parks, with Mrs. Fox. His Royal Highaess the Prime of WALSS visited him, last eve-mg, at half .past six o'clock. A Messenger from St. Petersburgh, arrived yes terday, at two o'clock, at the Fore'gn Office. The RJyalist, armed ship, al TiveJ. no Saturday, at Portsmouth, with a fleet of transports and met chantmen, under convoy, from Gibraltar. Sir J ACOS AtxtaS, has purialishod an Address to the Eleetors of Norfolk, declaring that private rea sons will prevent his again soliciting the honour of representing that county in Parliament at the next General Eleflion. This address is followed by one from the Right Honourable W. WINOS A NI, decla-- ing his intention of soliciting their ernes and interest on such an occasion ; and that were it not for Sir tacos AST AST'S declaration, hi- would not so pre emie, el f , disturb the tranquillity of the county ; and that nothing but the important duties lie is engaged in, could prevent his personal application ; as at no period was his anxiety greater for the honour of representing his native county. A report prevailed, as we stated on Saturday, that Joseph Elkin Daniels, the defaulter at the Stuck Exchange, had been taken at Harwich ; hut, we are concerned to state, that it is without found.•tion. A farther reward of 400 guineas has been offered for his apprehension. A Liverpool paper contains the following account of the squadrons of Admiral Coeira•Ne and h.- sums Bonalasis July 2—The French squadron, of six sail of the line, and one frigate, under Gu-daloupe, standing to the Northward. July S —The shipping at anchor under Brimstone Hill, St. Rites, were ordered away by express, and the same evening stood to the Northward. July 6, at noon—the French squadron passed the harbour of St. 'Thomas's, under easy sail, and an hour after were followed by Admiral Cothrine, with four sail of the line and three frigates ; after passing the west end of the Island, the k Tench stood to the northward, with ♦ery little sail, apparently waiting for the English : from the inferiority of force, it did net seem Admiral Cochrane's wish to attack them; for on getting to leeward of this Island, the whole of the English force, except a ftigste (dogging the enemy), hove-to with their heads to the Southward, in which situation they remained at sun set ; the Fteneh continued their course to the Northward. On Sunday morning, the Gth—The French sent a boat to the entrance of Tortola, to take soundings ; and, undoubtedly, in the course of the day would have destroyed the whole of the shipping there, had nut Admiral Cochrane's timely appearance thwarted their design. July 7—ln the evening a French schooner ar rived at St. Thc.mas's, which left the Squadron that morning, standing to the Northward. Julyl3 AdmiralCochrane arrived at Tortola, with the whole of his squadron, except two frigates, which are gone to the Northwari', ;o uat.h the ene my.
