tht vf; Or. THE BRITISH PRESS. LON DON, TUESDAY, JUNE 24. The Omniron was dose early yesterday morning ft tit, but at two o'clock it tell soddenly to 5. At the close of the market, however, it recovered a littl and was done at 5,1. A report that Russia had made a separate peace with France was the cause generally assigned for the depression.—From what source it was derived, or what degree of credit is &foto it, we ate not competent to state. Mr. WILISAti sod, one of the English Gentle. men ao long detained in France, was the person who ar ived on Saturday at Dover from Boulogne. Frcm the expedition used by Mr. Wi Left A HA tu, we may presume his dispatches are of importance. We, with great reluaance, slightly alluded. yes terday, to a matter of great delicacy and importance to a certain Illustrious Female, who, though not a native of this country, is one of the first objeUs of itg care. As the innocence of the party, we . understand, has been established, it would have been well if it had never been publicly de- Oared ,bat suspicions had ever been entertained. Ss of the female servants of the distinguished per % sonake concerned, it is said, have been examined before a Secret Committee of the Privy Council. appointed by the highest authority, to investigate the charge. The Marchioness of T—, we un derstand, had an interview with HIS MAj SST ttpon the subjeel, on Wednesday. We have received Harnbetrgh Papers to the 14:h, and French and Dutch Papers, to the 20th, the substance of which is given in our first page. The various reports of the aetual eia cu.rtion of Cattai), repeatedly vouched with so much confidence, appear to have been all pre- Mature. It was reported at Vienna, on the 2.1 Instant, that two thonsand Austrians hal en tered the place, and delivered it to the French. but a subsequent letter of the sth of June, horn Vienna, inserted in the Menhtur of the 19th, merely states, that the AtmCan Ceneral Bellegarde, and M. Lespine4, the Comm inder of the Marine, had sailed from Trieste to * receive the place from the it ussieng, preparatory to its surrender to the French the of paper of the same date states, that General Lanriston, with 6,000 meg, has taken possession of Ragusa, for the purpose of proteeling It against the Montenegrins. This, however, is a mere pretence Ragusa is a tolerable sea-port, with some trade to the Levant, and of course an °lie& likely to excite the cupidity of Napoleon. The AL/natter, of the 12th, contains the official count of the depredations committed by the Roch fort Pcoadron, upon the coast of Africa. King Louts arrived at Breda on the 17th, on his way to the Hague, to assume the sovereignty of the Country, as Kra l ? of Hellcat —lt was sup posed that he would remain a few days at Delft, to allow time for that good Citizens of the Hague to make necessary preparations to receiv. , him with all the ...tar of stage effeet, and to wind up their sluggish spirits to a delirium of joy. The intelligence from Berlin states, that His PA USSIAN Mama- e has at length formed his ulti mate resolution, and that it is to be immediately transmitted to London. According to the rumours prevailing at Paris, the Military feta will not take place until the middle of August, when the troops may celebrate their victories, and the anniversary of the Emperor at the same time.
