BY the Nimrod Cutter, arrived at Plymouth from the Channel Fleet, intelligence is received that the French Fleet in Brest Harbour is in a Com plete state for sea, and that several thousand Troops are embarked on board them. As this Paper was on the point of being put to Press, we received, BY Exrßrss, Paris Papers to the zSth inst. They bring us the following Ar ticles : TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCH, 23 - TH JULY. THE PRINCIPAL COMMISSARY OF MARINE AT ST. MALOES, TO THE MINISTER 0.,F MARINE AND OF COLONIES. ," The English Frigate, of 4.0 guns, thejason, Capt. MURRAY, has been wrecked in the Road. of St. Maloes. . In the batteries of this fine Ship arc zg sixteen p_-.lnders, and 12 thirty-two pounders. It has been built 17 months. (Signed) " CHAPPIn" "Note. -- The Jason is a Mb-1, 1 )-5:x Gxn Frigate on . l . y.—S be h commanded by c.y. BALLARD.] Citizen TALLEYRAND PERIGORD, Minister for Foreign Affairs, arrived yesterday from 13 out bon d' Archambault. He immediately resumed his lune- tions. General AUG EREAU sets out in a few days for the Hague. The KING of SPAIN has reached Ofivellza, prt of his newly_acquired territory. Count HALIGW ITZ, the Cabinet Minister of Ber lin,. gave a grand dinner to General MAC DoNALD on the i zth inst. • These Papers contain no mention of Egypt, of GANTHF.AUME, nor of the Flag of Truce which is stated to have arrived at MarseVles.—The French Funds have somewhat declined. THE article from Genoa, which we inserted in our Paper of yesterday among the Extratis from the French Papers, h i as given rise to much speculation. The account it contained of the arrival of an Eng lish Flag of Truce at Marseilles on the zd instant, is supposed to relate to the Surrender of A/exandria. It is obvious that if there is any truth in this state ment, which the 4-emote date of the arrival; and the circuitous channel through which it comes, vrilders it, it must he admitted, questionable, Dispatches thus forwarded, could only relate to some great disaster which had befallen the French in the• quarter, most probably Egypt, whence this Vessel 'Carnes The Hamburs7) Mail due yesterday is nut yct arrived. On Tuesday evening the Mike of PORTLAND took the Seals from his Office, and set off for Wey_ mouth, to deliver them into the hands of His MA JESTY this day. A Military Officer arrived yesterday morning with Dispatches from Sir Roc , Elt CLTRTIS, at the Cape of Good Hope. General LAKE, who lately sailed from Engl44nd as Commander in Chief on the Coast of Coromandel, is arrived in &nal. General Sir WILLIAM MEDOWS was on Thurs day last sworn of His Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council of Ireland. The St. James's Volunteers mustered yesterday afternoon in the Park, under the inspeCtion of Lord AMHERST. The General Ins truetions to the Officers and Ma gisirates on the Coasts, which were prepared dur ing Mr. DumbAs's administration of the War D;;- partment, about three years ago, are now reprinted, and circulated by, Government throughout all our Maritime Counties. • Parochial Meetings are now holding at thq, ferent ChurcheS on the Coast of Hampshire, to carry into execution the proposals submitted by the De puty Lieutenants, for arming such Inhabitants as are not Volunteers, and for adopting the best means in the event of Invasion, for securing the cattle, corn, &c. In consequence of the Militia Regiments being called from Ipswich, the Loyal Volunteers of that place, with a truly patriotic spirit, have offered their services to assist the Cavalry in naountiug guard; and, agreeably to instructions received from the General of the Districl, have resolved to muster three times a week, in order, to be prepared for ac tual service, in case the present meditated attack by invasion from the French should be attempted. Mons. SU,R-COUFF, lately arrived on board the 'Company'K' ship Lady. Barges, from. Bengal, as a Prisoner of War, is not the Naval Commander of that name 'who a few months ago captured the Com pany's ship Kent. Yesterday was interred in the family vault at Cheshunt,. Herts, the Remains of the late Sir GEo. \Vri. PRESCOTT, Bart. His funeral was attended by the Southern Troop of Huts Yeomanry Cavalry, of which he was Captain. His death is an irrepar able loss to his family, and will he deeply felt. and regretted by his numerous friends and aequaiirtance. Last week died at the Abbey-house,: Chertsev, ELIZABETII Dowager Lady YOUNG, aged 71 : a lady of exemplary 4 o 9 cines and, charity, as the regrets of the inhabttants of Chertsey in general, and voor in particular, roust strongly te s tify. i,,.%17--' ---„-75f• • , ~ NAVAL J" , i l ~ '.: NEWS. ;k•:-. 4 1 . o , • ~,v) „ ,...L . ,, , es "; .2.1 ., < _., .--;---,.....

VANSITTART in front of the Berkshire Encampment. The marquees for that purpose were placed on an eminence near the sea side, at a small distance from the ruins of Sandfort Castle.

Yesterday a melancholy affair took place here, one of the Hussars put an end to his existence by shoo a ting himself. FAVERSHAM, JULY zg. ALL the Coass ti on ;he Eastern part of Kent is in a state of great preparation to repel the threatened s' . . Invasion. The Sea Fencibles have been several times exercised on board the Redoubt, Captain SHEPERD,. laying at •Shelness Point, for the protettion of that part of the Coast, and the opposite Shore of Whitstable and Hero Bay.— The Squadron under the command of that Officer have received orders to put themselves under the command of the gallant Lord NELSON, and with such a Leader what may not be atehieved! Were we to'recommend any improvement in the organization 9f that Corps (the Sea Fencibles), it should be, that each of their Vessels at Faversham, Whitstable, and Milton, should (in case,. of Inva sion) he armed with a large piece - of ordnance each t;le knowledge these people possess of „the coast. would render them extremely serviceable in this in. tric..te navigation.

Bengal. :.The following melancholy accident occurred at Hamilton races, in Scotland. While a post-chaise from Glasgow, with three Ladies .in it, .was en tering the avenue to the race-ground, the end of the pole gave way, and the chaise striking the heel of the horses, they took fright,. and ran off with the utmost speed down the hill, when the driver endeavouring to turn them into the . avenue leading to the Palace, the chaise suddenly and so completely overset, as to light op the very top, and bursting to pieces, as if exploded by gunpow der, threw the Ladies in different diredions at a considerable dista:lce upon the ground. One of the Ladies had her thigh bone broken, her arm di‘located, and her head and other parts of Ler body dreadfully bruised. The other two Ladks were also much. bruised. They were accompanied to the house of 3 Surgeon by Lord ARCHIBALD HAMILTON, WI - a) remained with the Ladies for some time, and whose sympathetic attention, with that of the whole of that noble family at Hamilton, merits the highest commendation., We understand that none of the Sailors procurer' within the limits of the City, in consequence of Press-warrants backed by the Lo tto MAYOR, are suf• fered to be carried on board the tender till they hale been previously examined, and a number have been discharged, as not within the operation of Press warrants. A small animal, somewhat larger than a rabbit/ has been brought to the Company's Faelory at Fort Marlborough ; the head resembles that of a hog' and its shanks and feet that of a deer. The Bezbar Stone found on this animal, has been valued at ten times its weight in gold. It is of a dark brown colour, smooth on the outside, and the coat beioS taken off, it appears - still darker, with stringy running underneath the coat, and it will swim or - the' top of water: If it be infused in any liquid, makes it extremely bitter. The virtues usually gt' tributed to this stone are, cleansing the stomachs .creating an appetite, arlci sweetening the I.)icod• ~~ ( V , 1 i SCI 1 10 u nu pt tile a rusti dep a of v So IVing Whic jng h in jc plish fects b' Jae tile c Scg iest ; to tit, lair 1 hour Sc bri ( 4 Ltht Sc Cast, Sti la v/ See v est , tioti ; tiler) rise Min , Sc ( tam Sct PUr. , ll draw ~.~' t 1 s'erC Sci Prep; Sce ibe C 41olit the C tv 1 , ic ILItPI .tian , Gift; erlou ‘ua s rep e Nve , S(':u t .411 Ch I hi s and tro p. ..4ids tat!
