It is now said that for the present he is to remain, bUt that his two Naval Lords are to be provided for in their own line, and each to have a high command. It was natural to expea that changes in the Ad_ ministration, , and in the Offices conneaed with it, would take place; but we cannot say that in any changes of which we have heard, we see any pro. •pelf of that which is so much wanted, an accession of strength.

Same projetled extension of the stores or defences of the Castle-yard, which are forthwith to be pro eeded upon, has occasioned a notice to be served on the inhabitants of Cole:alley; Castle.street, to prepare lot the 'evacuation esf their habitations .in the course of a fortnight.

She is to be prepared for commis. sion without delay. On Saturday the Right Hon. the LORD MAYOR received information from Lord PaLHAM,.that there was reason to suppose several persons suspeded of holding a treasonable correspondence with the Irish Rebels, were residing in the City, and pointed out the place where some of them welt most likely to be found. In consequence of this information, his Lord ship, about two o'clock, sent several of his officers to the house of Mr. Wells, an Engraver, in Leaden. hall-street, where they apprehended the master of the house, Mr. Thomas Casson and Mr. Davies, all of whom were brought. to the Mansion-House, and un. derwent separately a private examination before the LORD MAYOR, Mr. Under Secretary KING, Sir RICHARD FORD, and several other Magistrates. Mr. Classon acknowledged the first part of the charge alleged against him, that he had given Mr. Well s an order to engrave him a large seal, with the motto •' gringo bra.* This seal, he said, was for no other parse than ko use in business, as a Wrchant, which he carried on to a great extent in Burr -street, iol . &r the firm of Chinon acrd jaMeloll ; the latter person Mr. Classon said, was a relation of his wife's; but, on minute inquiry, no such name could be heard of. As soon as Mr. Classon's address was obtained several boxes of papers were brought from his house, some of which required time to iii estigate. He was, therefore, Ordered into close confinement, and no person suffered to visit him, or take him a letter, without its first being examined by the Gaoler. It appeared on the examination of Mr. Wells arid Mr. Davies, that they had nothing mare to do in the business, than to exe:ute the work they were ordered to perform. They were therefore liberated, on their promise to cnme forward when, called upon. Yes. terday it was expected that a second examination of Mr. Classon would have taken place, and the LORD MAYOR waited at the Mansion-House the greatest part of the afternoon, in hopes of meeting there Mr. KING and Sir RICHARD FORD, but they did not come, in consequence of not having gone through the investigation of the papers. We are well aware that there are at this moment in London too many United Irishmen, but we know that the Police is vigilant, and therefore we have no doubt but that all their motions are watched. It is a circumstance, we believe, not generally known, but the fad is, that an arrit was published at Paris on the 7th of July, which ordains, that no process shall be hereafter instituted in the Tribunals of France for the payments of any debts due to the English in the course of commerce: anti that de. mbnds already proceeded on, or the execution of judgments adlually obtained, shall be suspended till the re-establishment of Peace. • Yesterday New. York Papers to the toth of July were received. Immense advantages are , antics. paled from the cession of Louisiana. A Letter re. ceived at Baltimore, dated at Cape Francois, June t B, states, " that the French had nude no attack on that place, and the Brigands have entirely quitted that part of the Island ; but that they feared the fate of some of the neighbouring posts. Three hun. tired Brigands had deserted to the French, and then guarded the outer posts. They had been attacked by the other Brigands, but succeeded in come pletely putting diem to MUM Gen. Roo-lama lAU had embarked at Port-au-Prince fur Cape Francuise, to remain there, having, it was understood, re. ceived orders to make that place the seat of Govern. mein. lie was expeaed the day after the letter was written. The French Ships of War had all been called home, except two or three. The Brigands triid a number of barges about the dirrerent parts of the Island."' Lord Eta IN, we are sorry to say, is still in bad health, and has therefore obtained leave to reside at the Spa fiCitr Bourdeaux, whose waters arc of a very salubrious nature.
