• . I 110, ■ THE SUN. $01,11,1 Q •as inclas rwLstim AUD;AT ? LONDON, • jUI.,Y ;8, 180 r. We yesterday received Parrs Papers to die ;sth inst. which contain no intelligence of importance, if we except a statement in some of . the Papers of the return of GA NTH F. A UNiE to Toulon, after having landed his Troops twenty leagues from Alexandria. In two of these Papers, the journal de Paris and the Citoyen Francais, 'this fat is asserted With . some confidence. In another, however, which. is better informed than either of them, the Clef du Cabinet,•it is more doubtfullystated, while the Mo.. N it eAr , and the demi-official journal des Pefenseurs de la- Patrie, ,which seems to .pride itself on naval intelligence, .aro wholly silent on the subjeCt. •We can hardly be expeCted- to believe what the French official Papers themselves do not venture to state ; nd if any can suppose that GAWTH E 'Mt, had ac_ tuaily. arrived at Toulon, and that the faa is inten tionally. concealed, it must be becat.fie .he has re turned.(iitly all his Troops on board, and thus has failed kn artaining the great objet of his EXpedi -tiOn. One important fast however .we learn, through the of France, though the &nil Paperi are silent on the subjett, - that the CHIEF CONSUL HAS RATIFIED THE TREATY ENTERED INTO WITH FoRTuoAL, Whether RONAPAR.TE has been led to do this by the representations of Spain, in eon.. segile.nee of her new connexion, we know not, hui teems to us more probable that the Court of Lis• bon has obtained ihis ratification in the only way in which successful Negotiations have hitherto been curried on \vith France, by secret pecuniary sacrifices This day several of the Volunteer Corps in . the IYleirf•pol Es :vete to come upon active duty, in order to eliab!e Government to send the Regulars to those part► of the kindoin 'where their services .may be more imr:iediately,required. The Royal Westminster and Sr. J:unes's Vol unteers are to take the - duty of the Palk and the Palace ; and the London Volun teers arc to garrison the Tower. The' general command of the Land Forces is en_ trusted to the Marquis CoßNwAws, who also retains his local appointment in the Eastern Distriet, vs;liere he resides. The defence of the Channel, from Orfilrdness to Beachy Head, is confided to Lord NE 1,- 60 N, -flanked on the West and East by the Brest and oteh Sea Fleets, under the Admirals Cortrrwm,Lis and GRAV ES. Lord N ELSON Set out at four o'clock yesterday morning for Sheerness, where he ar rived at twelve o'clock, and hoisted his Flag on board the CAW Frigate. He has sixteen Frigates au.l all the Guni?oats and smaller craft under his o; dets. His Lordship made an application for three A cles_de-Carnp, which the Admiralty have com plied with, although unprecedented,- in conSidera tiend the inconvenience to which our brave Ad.. rniral is by the loss of his right arm in the service of his Country. Ilon. Cal t. STEWART, son of Earl GAL i3O. ;, LlO li,, very much distinguished himself during the War, accompanies Lord NELsoN, as his air: Aide-de-Camp. .All the Volunteers of the kingdom . have received orders to bold themselves in readiness at a moment's not ice ; and Fishing Smacks have been hired by the Trinity House at the entrance of the Swin, for the purpose of being stationed at the Buoys lying at. t 1 a respe;:iiveSmdc, to cut or destroy them, in case an Enemy's Fleet should make its appearance, - From the mignitude of the preparations which have been made to give a warm reception to our inveterate Enemy, in the, event of their being able to elude the vigilance of our Fleets, every appre licnsion for the issue must be totally dissipated.-- A more elfcßual measure for dispersing our little political d;fferences and uniting all Parries in one common interest, the deknce of .their cour.try, could not be devised ; and should our adversaries Ilavc the , :einerity to invade nor shores, they will find the mass of Englishmen aduated, as it were, by One soul, and prefet . ring•even death .to Gallic tyraii. That the French should give partial and exagge. rated accounts of Naval Alions is what we have been so lorg accustomed to, that it creates no sur, prize, bur it does create 6ome astonishment to find the Cfficial Paper, the Moaiieur, assert that their FlotiW: from Calais. was attacked by twenty-five Sail of Englis!i Vessels, because it was obvious to thousands of Poop;:; on both Coasts, that our Force did not exceed one fourth of that number. II:T(11y a circumstance more evinces the great change which the Frellch Revolution has produced in Enthpe, particularly on the Continent, than the" expostulatory style assumed by the'Constitutional Priests of France in their addresS' to the Porr, 1105 e efrKt's to. 1 - Yromore barmo!ly among the Catholic Clergy thev . pdicii with the ;.ir of a remo,v_ stralee.

The Gun-boats from *Calais' seem not inclined to venture so far to sea since their narrow escape from our vessels on Saturday the x Bth ; some of them have since been seen from .the hills dragging up, along-shore by horses, Frigates, Sloops, Armed Ships and Gunboats are constantly cruizing on the Frencli coast, and a Ship of the Line is to be stationed at the North and South Forelands, Duna geness, and Beachy-Head, as guarda costas. Strong piquet-guards are mounted all along the Coast, and orders for all the Volunteers of the Southern Dis trid to be 'alert, and in a state of preparation to march, have been issued by General HuLst. The Shipi under Admiral POLY from the Baltic are hourly expeCted at Yarmouth. Orders have been received there for them to proceed to Spit_ head. • Thursday last,. a Court Martial was held on board the Gladiator, in Portsmouth .Harbour, on Lieut. 'THOMAS RENWICK,- of His Majesty's Ship St. Fiorenzo, for quitting the deck when he had the first watch, on the night of the zoth of March, without being o.oß regularly relieved or e CK, d Master ana Cs o f n t M he same r.Ri ouhno Ship, for not coming upon deck when he had the middle watch, on the same night, untit he was sent for about a quarter past one o'clock. The Court agreed that the Charges had been proved against them;, but, in consideration of their very high cha. railer, they were adjudged to be only reprimanded. Lieut. GRANT ALLEN, of the Eseor: Gun-brig, was also tried for returning to Spithead with Dis patches with which he had .been charged, for the Captains of His'Majesty's Ships Clyde, Loire, and Wokerene. The charge not being proved, 'he was acquitted accordingly-. • - On - Friday, arrived at Leith, 'the Trusty, of Dy sart, JOHN LAVEItOCK, master, laden' with hemp, &c. one of the British Ships that was detained by the late 'EtAr EROR PAUL. The Trutt) , sailed from Riga . on the Act; ult., with three Other Vessels, and joined at the Sound several more, making in all z 6 Sail, chiefly from ' Petersburg!), having sailed- on the 9th' instant, under Convoy of the Se/by Sloop, Captain WILLIAMS. Captain LAI? EROCX states, that he and his Crew, with thdie:of other Ships de. tained, were marched to an inland Town, about 8o Miles up the Country, where they were very kindly treated ; and When he returned and joined his Ship, on the 26th May last, he found her in much better order than he was taught to expth, and, before he sailed, she was completely caulked at the expence of the Russian Government. The Trusty, in her passage down the Baltic, passed three or four Sail of British Men of War cruizing between Bornholm and Falstervorn Reef; and Capt. Ltsysk °ex reports, that on the Bth inst. he saw t h e British Fleet, consisting of about ifo Sail of Vessels pass the Sound downward. A Courier Extraordinary was published at Bom bay on the zoth December, 1800, to announce the following circumstance;—" On Monday evening arrived the Honourable Company's cruiser Intrepid, late Captain GgoacsllALL., from Btissorah, after having encountered, on the sad ult. the French Privateer .which had boarded two dows'near Muscat, as mentioned in our last ,Courier.—The particulars of the ac ion we understapd to be nearly as follow, They 'saw vessel from the mast-head at sun.risc, and about o'clock saw her from the deck standing toliirds 'them. Capt. HALL made the private sigo'.l to her about eight o'clock, which was not answeec't. ; the stranger soon afterwards hoisted a union. jack.at the fore top gallant mast-head,. and a blue ensitn at . the gaff end ; • at .half pa st n i ne HAI. t, 'fired a shot and hoisted the Company's colours, 'Which was almost, immediately returned under French colours. An action ensued chiefly within pistol-shot, and between ten ,and eleven o'clock the Enemy, trusting to his superiority in Europeans, made two attempts to board the Intrepid' under' the stern ; in the second attack the Enemy's jib-boom was for some time foul of the Intrepid's driver ; both attacks were repelled with great spirit and execution,. the few Europeans Capt. - HAt.i. had, being called front-the guns on, these occasions. About a 'quarter before eleven o'cloCk Capt. - HALL received a severe 'wound, which obliged him to quit the deck, on which Lieut. SMEE took charge. By this time the Intrepid's masts were - much injured, and most of thesails rendered useless by the damages they had sustained, and the rigging being almost all cut to pieces, with two Europeans ,killed and many others of the . crew wounded. In this state the engagement continued . until near twelve o'clock, when . the Enemy's fire slackened, and they began to make off. - Lieut. Spatz then turned the hands up to repair their damages, in order to chace. A little after twelve all sail was set on the Intrepid, and the chace continued till three P. M. when fied ing that the Enemy sailed so much superior as to afford no chance of coming up with 'her, Lieut. SHE a hauled his wind to the N.N. W. The Enemy, was a brig, carrying her guns on a flush deck, , having six on each side of different calibre and four swivels, copper bottomed, and nearly the size of the Honourable Company's 'Cruiser, the' Antelope ; . Lieuts. SNisii and BEST are slightly wounded ; Mr. HARRIOT, Volunteer, and the Boatswain are also said to be wounded; also one European seaman and t 8 Sepoys and Lascars, many of them dangerously. We are truly sorry to add, that Capt. HALL, who wi;h his Officers and ship's, company have done iheir.duty to themselves and their country in so exemplary a manner, died of his wound on the 30th uit." WEYMOUTH, Juty z 5. THEIR MAJESTIES and the PRINCESSES this morning went to Weymouth Church, where they heard Divine Service, and a Sermon preached by the Rev. Mr. COTES, from the cxith Psalm, v. 2. " The works of the Lord are great, sought out of aU them that have pleasure therein." Sir Wm. PARSONS was conduetor of the organ, and Master NEBOUR sung an Anthem, accompanied by Sir WILLIAM on the organ, in a most impressive manner and scientific taste. After the Service Hts MAistsTY and his At. tendants walked on the Esplanade. • The QUEEN, accompanied by His Royal High , ness Pittrics ADOLPHUS and the Pa morssss, took An airitigin their Sbciables on the Sands. tr,r;i-n LANTIMCK. I Esq. Governor of Sr. %Vitt. cent's,' arrived here last night, and this morning conversed with His IVlAjtspr before the Ku went t . ot) Church. A Mr. PHILLIPS arrived here last night: this Gentleman is taken great notice of by His Mjts• TY, and also by the Earl of ROSSLIN. This morning arrived a Mail from the Leeward Islands, brought to Falmouth by the Lake of War,- ewe Packet, in 19 days. Lord' Viscount LEW-rsHAhr, Minister for India Affairs, succeeds to his Father's (the late Earl of DARTMOUTH) estates and honours; the income arising from the former, is about fourteen thousand pounds per annum. Sir JOHN BOR LASE WARRIN was abruptly im.• formed of the death of his Son by an Officer, on his return from Egypt, and the intelligence had such an effc upon him, that be had nearly fainted., The gallant young Officer was wounded in, the neck, and boring told that it was impossible for him to se. cover, like another, Wv FE , or EPAMINONDAS, he testified his ,tr4nquil submission, declaring that " his life was gloriously lost in the service of his Country." His sword was given to his early Pa. tron, the Earl of MOIRA. The Young Gentlemen of Eton, on leaving School for the Midsummer vacation, took their An. nual Aquatic Excursion on Saturday, to Surly Hall, when they were elegantly entertained with a sump. ways repast. After which Mr. TOWNLY WARD . sent Ahem ten bowls of Syllabub ; they drank the healths of the ROYAL FAmiLY, and also their Pa.. trobs and. Preceptors. TheiCornpany who assembled to see them, was very numerous. Amongst the Nobility were, Lord and Lady. G tENvrt.t,r, ~with a p art y o f f r i en d s ; they were seated in a cu rious Carava n , or Rus§ian Waggon,presented to them by Lord HITWoRTH. The yelticle attraaed the notice of every person present. toVar,• Miss Vl's!, of Stock, and PiracWof Stock,. and a number of Nobilitt were also spedatiirs of this Annual Regatta. . The Young Gentlemen exhibited great skill in the art of Rowing, and being tli attired in Fancy. - dresses, made the scene delightfully pleasing. In the evening, many beautiful Fire-works were Jet off, and the day was concluded with festive mirth, and innocent recreation. The last naval communication which we remeM* ber to have been made in'a French theatre, was by JEAN BON Sr. ANDRE, when be announced to the audience the capital condition and excellent spirivoi the fleet, 'of which he was commissioner in 1,793. Having dwelt on the subject in glowing terms, he submitted it to their decision, whether the flee; shobld sail, a measure to which the Admiral in. command was, decidedly. adverse - . The audience naturally enough cried our, one and all, " Sail," and sail they did : Lord H6we has told the rest. In consequence of information that a number of Seamen had secteted4hemselves in t h e ne i g hb our . hood of Bethnal Gwen and Mile End, impress.:war. rants wetwl'iSijed 13); the Magistrates on Saturday last, pnkapout ivnty Seamen were picked Up.

Durham, John Peak, an Innkeeper in Framwellgate, was brought before GEORGE CROWE, Esq. and the Rev. . WILLIAM NESFIE LD, Clerk, two of His Majesty's Justices of the Peace, charged with having taken a quantity of hay from a soldier's horse, that was bil leted upon , him, after the soldier had supplied the horse for the night ; and being convicted, by the clearest evidence, paid the full penalty of five pounds. It appear:A that Psmt had been - suspected of the offence for some time, and the soldier, in order to deted him, concealed himself in the Stable at night, and caught him in the ad.
