LONDON, AUGUST 2L, 1803. Tit e Malt unpleasant reports respeeling Ireland were yesterday afloat, which by the Mail arrived this morning we are happy to find are not altogether confirmed. In Dublin, though the Inhabitants arc daily alarmed with rumours, tranquillity happily continues to prevail, though the Rebels arc so daring as to fire at the Sentries in its vicinity. In the Counties of Wexford, Wicklow, Kildare, and Meath, great alarm prevails ; but we hope the vigilance of the Military will overawe the dis. affefted. It is in vain to conceal, however, that all the private Letters received from Ireland for the last week are full of serious apprehensions. We arc happy in being able to announce the ar rival of the Jamaica Fleet in the Downs. Some of them, aft we before stated, were dismasted in a gale of wind off the Western Islands. By the Queen Charlotte Packet arrived at Fal mouth from Jamaica, we are happy to learn of the capture of a French Frigate, of 4.8 guns, and two Corvettes, by a Squadrop under the Command of Cummudore BAYNTUN• We received this morning the Moniteuri of the 17111 and 18th inst. The latter contains an article from Amsterdam, dated so long ago as the 16th July, which states that Citizen SCHIMMItLik N. NI NCK is to be placed at the bead of the Dutch Government. This circumstance was mentioned some time ago, but from the manner in which it is now mentioned in the.Alon;teur, we may consider it as a measure finally determined upon. The Naval preparations at Paris appear to be going on with .wonderful aOivity : ont'Gun..buat has actually been completed and launched I A disturbance rather of a serious nature happened at Frankfort. in consequence of the Senate having renewed a duty formerly paid by the Publicins of that City, ,but which had t,ot been levied fur some Tie Publicans' refused to pay the Tax, and were supported by the populace, but the Insurge;:ts ,were at length dispersed, and tranquillity was re. stored. time. 'fhe French Funds are 53. Bu. Tuts people belonging to the Neutral VC6sels*lat now occasionally pass between Dover and Calais re. port, that the Inhabitants of the Lower Town of Bouiagee are so much annoyed by . our Sloops of War anti pun-vessels attacking the French:Guo ! iboats, that they are fast abandoning that pare of the Town; and Osiend is so entirely ruined by, lea Port being blockaded, that snore awn tine half the Inhabitants have already left it. Orders hove been sent to Dover, far a hundred rinity Pilots to l in readiness at a moment's noi ice. The Patent of Staturdny night contains an ortle r in Council, dated the 17:h, for placing 'Cithago and St. Lucia on the same commercial relation, as the usher British West India Islands. This Gazette also contains Loyal Addresses to Ills MAI rary from the City of Lincoln ; the Coun. tier ut Lincoln, Cornwall, Linlithgow, S.ilop, Es. sex, -Nottingham, Norfolk.

The Subscription at Lloyd's on Saturday night amounted in Coli„ to 133,/001. and zo,zool.'in Stock. The Ladies,' Subbcriptions amounted to 3'151. A Subscription was on Tuesday opened in pub. lin, iu ;iitl of the Patriotic Fund at Lloyd's, when between 7 and 80001. were immediately subscribed.
