There was a mistake in the account . , stating the arrival of Ate* of the East India Ships in the Downs : it turns out that they were , thretoetward. bound Ships for India, which sailciilroin'the Downs to Spithcadi Little apprehensions are entertained about the safety of the homeward.bound Ships, except such as may be excited by the malicious Paragraphs in a Morning Paper.

LILGHORN, JULY 20.—Since the English Ships of War have been stationed at the Hieres Islands, two Frigates are cruizing before Genoa. These, and the English Boats on the Genoese Coast, inter. rupt the trade of Genoa extremely. The Naviga.. Lion to this Port, on - the contrary, suffers no ob. titration.

Another account states, that the English have taken' the largest of the Hieres Islands, to the South of Toulon, with 18coo men, and IS pieces of cannon, antl established there an Hospital for boo sick Sailors.' The Fleet of Ad• to Viral Nat.sott; off Toulon, consists of 27 Sail. Hiso . utt, AUG, 4.—SincF the Imperial French Ambassador, M. D& SEMONVILIA ) has given in his new Credentials, he has been visited by the Fo. reign Envoy` resident here, except the Swedish, Russian, and , Imperial Ambassadors : the two last Nye indeed for tbese two days been absent from the Hague. A detachment of Artillerymen has marched' from the Have for the Helder. Notwithstanding the extraordinary heat that has prevailed for these four days, the Camp at Zeyst has been visited by great numbers of strangers from the , Distrids of Cleves, Munster, Bce. Fears have been entertained of a sickness among the Troops these. • Central IV/Aamort gives frequent entettainrosnro in the Camp : Besides his magnificent tent, with eight apartments, a large barrack has been ereiltd near it, in which be gives Balls. The Camp at Zeyst consists of 76 French and S Dutch Battalions, ,and 4 French and 3 Dutch Squa. drops, with Flying Artillery, &c. _ ANTWERP, AUG. z.—The preparations for the Expedition against England are carried on with the greatest aCtivity. The English, according to some accounts, intend to make a diversion, by attacking some point of our Coast. The number of English Ships in the Channel continually increases.— They no longer cruixe at the Mouth of the Scheldt; but they are on that account mote numerous before Ostend and Dunkirk. The Emperor, at Boulogne, has frequent confe rences with the Minister at 'War, General SOUL; Admiral Bautx, and several other Staff Officers of the Sea and Land Forces, relative to the Ex. pedition against England. The Flotilla which is at Havre is expeded at Boulogne. After the Emperor has visited Dunkirk and the Camp at Bruges, he is expeCted at Antwerp, where a Ship of the Line, ,of 74. guns, will be launched in his presence. THE Correipondence and - general Statement of the unhappy affair that took place in America, between Gen. i-loostiLTON and Cul. Botta, will be read with particular interest by every person susceptible of delicacy, feeling, and the principles of honour. In affairs of this melancholy kind,' the world is too apt to decide by events; and if the catastrophe had happened to be different, a different judg. ment would perhaps have been formed as to the conduct of both parties. While the fate of Ge neral HAMILTON, therefore, must excite every emotion of regret and of resped for his me. mory, such sentiments ought not to operate against his opponent, who seems to have been ani mated by the highest principles of honour, and con. sequently was anxious to preserve his reputation from the slightest taint of prejudice. The latter exposed himself to the same dreadful risque, and if it had been his fate to fall, and of his adver. sary to survive, the same emotions of regret would most probably have followed him to the grave. In fat, both Gentlemen were governed by those imperious notions of honour which 'have too lung prevailed in the world, and which are thought to have a more forcible call upon those who are connOted with a military life. As this unfortunate, event cliiefly arose from the interpretation given, in print, by a third per son, to the opinion expressed by General HA. MILTON, it is to be hoped that it will at least opew rate as an awful warning against an officious inter. ference upon points that may lead to such melan. choly consequences.
