Press in the distant Ports has been warmer Withi n these few days than when Press-Warrants were first. issued. The report of Naval Lieutenants -being re.sta. tinned at 'the Si g nnl Pests along the Coasts, is con. tradieted in the Paper that first gave rise to it. undeistand that the two legal ,Cornmi,sioners under the Navy Abase Bill, have resigned their Appointments. 'Yesterday Lord SHaut ELD commenced his Pre. ardency of the Board of Agriculture. As soon as, the otdi nfiry . business of the day was gone. Josephthrough,Sir BANICS got up, and lamented that a Noble t ord(Citkattictori)should have resigned their Chair, so contrary to, the hopes and wishes ofall who heard binl. He concisely stated , his Lordship's eminent ser vices,whieli he said, certainly claimed the grateful ac. knowledgmente of the Board : Sir JOSEPH then moved " That the Thanks of the Board of Agriculture be " given to its late President, Lord CARRINGIION, 4 ; for his eminent services in a constant attendance " upon, and his very able and judicious ciireition " of, tire concerns of the Board ; and particularly in " his skilful management of its funds and ITnances." The Earl of ROMNEY said, that he Tose, as an old member, with peculiar salisfailion t to second a nip.

In thus paying them, the Board would but confer an honour upon, itself. Lord ROMNEY conclucle4 by saying, that though they could .not but Bret the loss of their former President, he trusted the official conduit of his Successor would, whenever he retired, entitle him to a similar tribute of their approbation.—Sir JOSEPH BANKS'S motion was then pnt, and agreed to unanimously ; and the new tPresident was requested to communicate the Resolution to his Noble Predecessor. Last night the LAt3Y MAYORESS had a splendid Rout at the Mansion house. At nine o'clock, or. tiers :were given to admit the visitors, who were in ‘ralting in a long string of coaches.

They will be• replaced by other Troops from the Interior of France, ‘ General Nev is definitively fixed at Frib/ne,p ; he has received new letters of credence, which he will present to the Landamman D'Arrity. THE Count de MARCOFF having acceded, in the name of his Government, to the Convention con cluded at Paris between the French Republic and I-Us Majesty the EMPEROR of GERMANY on the 26th of December last, and His Majesty itbe Em r EROR of RUSSIA having fully ratified the accession stipulated by his Minister Plenipotentiary, the ex change of the respective Ratifications between France and Russia took place at Petersburgh on the 21st of February. In the official Notes which ac companied that exchange,, the Grand Chancellor of Russia, Count ALEXANDER de WORONZOFF, has announced " the entire satisfaaion which has been experienced by His Majesty, the Emperor, at the conclusion of this arrangement, who sets so much the more value on this happy effea of the cares and solicitude of the Mediating Powers, as he sees with pleasure the removal of the last obstacles which still opposed themselves to the final conclusion of the Plan of the Indemnities, and to the re-establish ment ofiPeace and tranquillity in Germany. His Majesty does not doubt that the, Imperial sanaion will immediately put the seal to all the other ar rangements hitherto agreed upon, and which will henceforth determine the fate and the existence of the Germanic Body:" All the Letters from Rathbon state, that the Conthaum was to be ratified on the zzd or 2+th, instant. _ _ Thus every germ of distention is stifled upon the Continent—political order is reitored•--every thing is terminated to the satisfaaion of the diffe rent Powers-..-and the alarming Reports which may be spread are entirely destitute of foundation. People of understanding should agree at the present .moment to distrust the motives of these new Re, ports. The Journalists should above all be re. quested to appreciate . better those Reports which they extraft from Foreign Newspapers. Flow could the Editors of the Publicist', who do not.ordinarily give any reason to doubt their discernment, how, could they repeat, after an English Journal, that France wished to take possession of the Crimea, in order to have a military position in Turkey ? With a little geographical information, the Journalists would not fall into similar errors. We do not doubt that the other Journals of the Continent will soon copy a pretended Letter flogs the FI HAT CONSUL to the KING of ENGLAND, written in the style of taverns, in which the Eng. lisp Papers are composed. To what contemptible means do men have recourse, for the purpose of stirring up and deceiving tlfe multitude !—(Mani. slur). The Der of . AtotERS having received Ro,coo piastres from Spain, and very considerable presents from Denmark, informed Citizen THAINVILLEI Commissary General of the Republic, that every one had sent him money except the Ftest CO Inv', who' had sent him nothing, and that France had been constantly is, the habit of making him presents. Citizen THAINVILLE shewed him the article of the letter written to. the FI nsT CoNstlt,, and trans. mitred by the Adjutant-General HULL' rt, by which the Der desisted from all pretension to presents. „This answer threw theDsy into a great passion, an d h e . made a great many menaces. This intelligence having arrived at Paris, the Minister of the Marine expedited the frigates La Cornelie and Le Rhin to Algiers. Citizen GOUR DON, Commandant of Division, was charged to bring back to France the Commissary-General and his family ; to inform the Dr s', that War being once declared, there might not be always an oppor. tunity off making Peace ; and to tell him,. that he might always. know when and• how War. commenced, • but that he might not always know when anti how it would finish. • The Division arrived in the begintiitgeMareh before Algiers: immediately the Noblevof the Re gency, and the People ran in crowds to the Day's Palace, to represent to him the misfortunes which menaced their Country. The DEY sent for the Commissary-General; and asked him, why the Fri gates were come ? Citizen TIIAINVILLE announ ced, that the Commandant had orders. to carry him back to France. " You wish then," ssid the Dar, " to be at war with me:" " No," answered citizen 'film ts... " but the Fil' Cotstit. is too powerful to :be your Tributary." . After. some altercation, the 1)11' ". then let him pay me nothing I wish ro.be at Peace with.bitn. Write him, that . I desist from any.demand." Thus the whole busineas terminated. The Corn. ,miSsary General was-, conduded back, .amidst the • acclamations of the crowd who had ran to the Dey's • Palace, and manifested the strongest desire to re. main. at peace with France; he remains at his post, . and the frigates are returned to Toulon.---abid.) CONSTANTINOPLE, Fifth 19.—The arrival of the French Ambassador at Constantinople has been for that capital a signal of joy. At the disembark. ation of General BRUNE, announced on the 6th of January by a discharge of 17 pieces of cannon, a numerous crowd collated, and spread themselves throughout every quarter that he was to traverse. The GRAND Stdrsioa repaired to his Kiosk to see, the Ambassador and his procession. pass.

Flag, elevated on the top of the Palace of France, fired a salute of 21 piacea of cannon, to which all the crews answered by the most lively acelaitrations. of kit first interview bet Ween the VTenth Ambas. sailor and the Ottoman Ministeri sufficed to re-esta-- Wish 'Prance in that honourable position which she ought to hold in the Levarit. 'rile Churches of the Latin Worship have returned_ under the proteaion of the Republic. which had been deptiVed.: during the war of the exercise of its ancient rights: The sequestration placed •updis the establishments which belong to it, is removed. Confilence is re-established between the inhabitanti and the French, and the re. sidence of the Ambassador will soon produce those advantages which the Peace gave reason to'hope for. 'VIINNA, MARCH r.1:.--kNotwithstantling letters frout Corrsterd;iropie, of •a ,- date of the 15th of Fe bruary mention that 'the evacuation of Egypt by the English had taken place,- we have some. rea son to suppose that it is not yet effeeled, and far ther, that Lord Etx rN, prictos to his departure, has not entirely brought about a reconciliition he tween the Beys and the Porte.' It is, asserted with some semblance of truth, that some unexpefted in cidents have changed the determination of the Court of London on that head, and induced the sud den departure of Lord Et.c r 14, about the time of the arrival of General BRUNE. support of this opinion, a circumstance is referred to,. which seems implicitly to indicate that the British Minister had departed but very little satisfied with the Porte, namely, the salute, or rather the. fright, which .he gave to the Citizens of Constantinople in the night, whdn the Frigate which he was on board set sail. Lord ELGIN well knew that such a pfoceeding.was contrary to 'usage, nay, even disagreeable to the Porte, as was manifested by the Reis Effendi. Surely he would not' have conduced himself in Such a manner had he been satisfied with the result of the last Negotiations.' Is! 11 2 7. The Consuls have issued a Decree forbidding the exportation of dyed or coarse Silks. General SPR NG PO RTE N has set out on his return to Russia ; previous to his departure he made Ma. dime BONAPARTE a present of some Boxes of very fine Tea, which he had received.from China. HAGUE, MARCH 16.—A Courier froill tha British Government disembarked the day before yesterday at Ilekoetshiys,'with'Dispatches, which ace said to be of tl4' greatest importance, for the British ll,'nvoy at Petersburgh. He also brought Dispatches for Mr. Ltsro:r, the English Minister at thellagtic.—The 'new measures' of the British Government have reduced the business of our Bank to a kind of , stagnation. ,There prevails a genetal stupor throughout the Country, arising from the contemplation of the unfortunate situation in which we shall be placed, if War should again destroy those prospels which Peace had began ,to realize. At the very moment almost that the Expedition was about to sail for Lohis;ana, an order arrived from Paris to,prevent its sailing. On Sunday , the Rev. Mr.' PE I.

Two Prints are advertised in the same --Paper, which are to be followed by four others, represent ing the Engagement between the French . .Frigate La Loir and Three British .P:rigates, l which accord ing to the modest and fitiatful report of the French, lasted for .fix da.p, in Otlober 1798., This brings to our remembrance the famous Report of Barrete to the Convention, alter the glorious Victory of Lord Haws, the ist June, 1794., in which he assured t hi French Nation, that the eight French Ships which were missing had pursued the British Fleet to Portsmouth, and were aetually blockading the Bri'. tish Fleet there ; bat as those Ships have never since returned to France, their Blockatle,is certainly the longest ever known in the Histosy of BloCk. ades.
