I'ARIS, jeLy 2+. tr It was reported, yesterday evening, that AL pliral GAN THEAUME had returned to Toukn, after having, landed 6 or 7000 men within twenty leagues of Alexandria. It was our intention, before we mentioned this intelligence, to wait until it should have been confirmed by the official journals • but the M64;teur does not even notice his return. 1 1 • To mat ter ; it is pretended that it is certain, and that'the A dmiral has disembarked in Egypt the troops which Were o n briard his squadron." Le Journal du Commerce of the same date also remarks_ " Though this Note (the!Official Account in the • oniteur of the capture of ithe Swifrsiire), makes ll ° mention of the deliarkation ithich GANTH LAUME Was to : eue,t Egypt, .it -is positively asserted that he has thrown in there .7000 men, whom he landed within 2O' leagues of Alexandria."

An unhappy spirit of party has paralysed our efforts ; we should otherwise have had no English in Egypt, "except as Prisoners. General MENU takes measures to free himself from the ill-disposed, and, we hope, notwithstand ing the inferiority of our numbers, to defeat the objea of our Enemies. We are still masters of the Country. The English possess only Aboukir and Rosett a ;. the Turks &Vase and Balbeis. Nona of of these Posts were disputed. MouRSD BET is dead of the plague, which makes treat ravages amongst the Turks at Cairo and in UPPe r Egypt. We have it not at Alexandria, or in the rest of our Army. The English say, that the Negotiations for Peace are in 'great aetivity. ; It(1 certainly they do zot desire it less than we, for t hey know what it has. coot to maintain th e m s elv e s ir, " e ft: and what it must yet cast. , The Chi e f C onsu l has p u bli s h e d t h e f o ll ow i ng i i3 t of Counsellors of State for the Ordinary and Ic traordinary Service ; ORDINARY SERVICE.

In consequence of the large arrivatsOf Grain from abroad, Wheat experienced yesterday a . very cons'_ derable fallin price, equal to thirty shillings since the preceding Monday. Between Tuesday and Friday last, there were no fewer than 33,293 quar ters of Wheat, and 13,696 quarters of Oats im. Potted into London only. On Saturday the price ' 3 f Wheat fell in Reading Market, zl. 16s. per quar ter, upon a fair average. , At Newbury, we hear, Wheat fell the last mar ket.day, full sl. a load; and new Potatoes, of the finest sort, were sold, in waggon load, at 3d. a gallon, and was afterwards sold at the moderate price oft Bd. Per bushel by retail. New barley was sold in Cardigan market on the ith inst. ; and the.very abundant crop throughout Wales, have occasioned a considerable fall in the Price of that article. A meeting is to be held of the County of Mon- Mouth, to take into consideration the propriety of Petitioning Par:iament for an Aft to oblige the sell ing of Wheat and all other grain, as well as Potatoes and Turnips, by weight instead of measure. The Magistrates of the Isle of Wight have ob. rained from the Lords of the Admiralty, an order for the protection of all labourers, not seamen, from impress, who may pass to that Island for the pur. pose of assisting in the harvest, which has com menced in several places. There is a remarkably fine crop of oats flow grow intr. in a field at Halton, near Lancaster, which has attracted the notice of many persons, on account of the truly singular manner in which the field was sown. During the last harvest, the crop of oats on this field was over-ripe before it was cut, and, in consequence, much of the grain was shed. The owner of the field intended to lay it down as a fal low, and was much surprizerl on perceiving, in the spring, the corn sprouting up abundantly ; and it now promises to be one of the best crops in that part of the country. Aper,son named Patrick IVlacnamarai of Park, in the County of Limerick, on the Ist of , _this-month reaped one of the finest crops of bailey that ever was remembered in that neighbourhood, produced from the corn that.shed last year, without the least pre paration of ploughing or harrowing, and the new corn produced, is likewise remarkably large in the grain. THE' HAMBUMII MAIL YIANIBURGH, Joty ACCORDING to the last accounts froni bagen, Count LOMENDAHL, son to the Daiiish Ambassador in Russia, is immediately to proceed to St. Petersburgh, with an official notification of the accession of Denmark to the Convention con.: eluded there on the t7th ult. between Lord HELENS and Count PANIN. Sweden having aim ready signified its formal accession, the differ.., ences- between Great Britain and the Northern Powers arc thus most happily brought to a final ad L justment. Private Letters from Petersburgh state, thati.on the day of General Count VON DER PAHLEN'S, dismissal, he was closeted fot four hours with the Emperor.. ALEXANDER. 'On leaving the Imperial, presence he appeared extremely confused and cha grined. He immediately declared to a by-stander, that he had asked leave to resign, and that his request .wts granted. The report that his Impe rial Majesty offered to him the free choice of any Government in the Russian- Provinces, is contra dided from a very respelable quarter. The only. favour the disgraced Minister could obtain, was permission to withdraw to his estates in Livonia. Some reports even add, that he was prohibited from wearing his uniform as a General in the Russian service. The Count set out from Petersburgh for 7 his, estates about three hours after his Audience of ALEXANDER. The real reasons of this Minister's disgrace remain a profound secret, On the - iSth inst. arrived here from Berlin, the French.Genetal MACDONALD, with the Ex-Count De SEGUR, his Secretary, and four Adjutants, on his way to ai1...2 w ,, where he is to reside as Ambassador.. Should the proposals fora general Peace, which have, it is most confidently asserted, been lately sent from Patis to Petersburgh, meet with the approbation of ALEXANDER, MACDONALD is to go to Petersburgh in the charatier of Ordinary French Ambassador.: The accounts received by the last Mail from retur4 of the total defeat and capture of GAN- Tx itiwmg and his Squadron, by Sir JOHN BORLASE WARREN ' is nor very generally credited here. No date is mentioned ; and it is said that neither the QUEEN of NAPLES nor Lord Mtwro had received any intelligence to that effed. It was firmly be.. lieved, however, at Vienna, when,the post of the I Ith came away.- Several cogferences have -lately been held at Vienna, in the EMPEROR'S presence, at which the GRAND DUKE of TUSCANY always assisted. Their• object is said to be the indemnity of the GRAND Dvis, for which -purpose BONAPARTE had sent a new projet to the Imperial Cabinet. Either Count - COBENTZ EL, jun. or Cpunt SCHLIEX T are to replace the Tmperial Ambassador at Parir. • The arrest of seven French Emigrants at Bareuth, took place at'the express requisition of General BOURNONVILLE, the French Minister at Berlin. They are said to have been implicated in the plot for destroying the First Consul, by . means of the Infernal Machine. HAGUE, J u Lir 46. GP NRICAL VICTOR will soon resign the command of the Troops in our Republic to General AUGER/kV, who is expedcd here next week from Paris. It is believed that on his arrival he will open some affitirs of importance. consequence of the intended visit of THEIR MAJESTIES to Bath towards the close of September, the Pump room and other public buildings are or &red to be painted and repaired: two houses are about to be thrown into one for the accommodation of the Royal Family. Nothing can' be more ludicrous than the exultation which the French express at the return of their squadron of Gum-Boats into Calais, having escaped an attack from the English. To judge from the pompous manner in which this escape is related, it might be supposed that they had gained a great The French Papers announce with great ceremo ny, the great Lioness in the Menagerie, produced, oil the isth July last, twenty-seven minutes after five P. M. two charming whelps. We presume the Conservative Senate (who have little else to do), will send,a deputation to congratulate this distin guished Fethale upon her accouchment, and the Mi. nister of the Interior will not lose so favdurable an opportunity of making an eloquent Speech. The Bath Paper of Saturday asserts, such has been the reduetion in the price of hops there, that a dealer last week bought for 61. what a, short time since would have cost IV, We hope the following incident, communicated to us, is true :—On Saturday night a press.gang pursuing a seafaring man in Tooley-street, the lat ter, to avoid them ran into a boat, and rowed him. self to St. Catherine's, and left the boat to drift. Finding afterwards that the 'boat belonged to his father, and 'his only means of subsistence, he hired another boat to recover it. He was again assailed by a fresh gang on the water, to whom he related his case, and promised :that if suffered to secure his father's boat, lig would, upon the word of an honest Seaman, return to them. This appeal made such an impression oh their minds, that they suffer.. ed him to perform his filial duty, and afterwards to enjoy the company of his friends. At Shrewsbury Quarter Sessions, Mary Groom was sentenced to be transported for 14 years, for receiving some corn knowing it to bestolen ; and Mary Davis to be imprisoned one year, and kept to hard labour for milking u cow that did not be. long to her.

At Kylesckow, about ten days ago, the take of Herrings was o great, that the Fishermen were obliged to cut their Nets, in order to discharge the Herrings. In Caithness, the take has been very -considera. ble, so that in the- course of next week, their new Salted Herrings may be expeCted to meet our Pnta_ ''toes at Market, which are daily falling in price, owing to the appearance of an abundant crop over all Scotland. The take of Herrings in the Isle of Mann last week, exceeded any thing ever heard of. Wednes day morning at Peeltown, 7300 Guineas were-paid for Herrings caught the preceding night !

In a cause, the Duke of BEDFORD cti. STONE, at Bedford Assizes, the Court of the County Town of Bedford was uncommonly crowded, to hear the. Special Jury trial which was expeded to come on. it was an adion brought by His Grace the Duke of BEDFORD; to recover five penalties ofzol, each, with . treble costs, fro t n the Defendant, on the ground that lie h2d'shot, the last season,. without a Certificate .sgoestby a Clerk of the Peace ) according to the form of the Statute. The question to be decided, was that of residence. Mr. STONE, who has a house at Artipthill, Beds, and a set of chambers in Gray's Inn, took out his Certificate in Middlesex, which was alledged not to have been the proper place. How ever, just as the.eause . •was about to be called on, the Agents..of the Noble Duke withdrew the Re cord, and the Duke was nonsuired: At Oxford ASsiies, a Cause came on between the Rev. JonN ROB INsoN, Lord of the Manor of En. sham,, Plaintiff, and THomAs WELLS, Huntsman of the VVitriey Harriers, Defendant. The declaration stated, that Defendant, en 24th February last, with dog and. horses, trampled upon and spoiled the grass, corn, and herbage, and damag e d the soil of the said close ; and without leave or license, heat 4frdihilniiii" for game, and broke down the hedges ap ct, fen &sip -. The Plaintiff proved, by his Game-keeper, that D4end-Siii.had received two notices not to hunt on Plaintiff's land ; and also proved the subsequent tres pass .on the z4th February. . The Defendant proved, by the testimony of two respeetable witnesses, that he was quietly returning home from hunting, and riding along the public road towards Witney, when .the hounds accidentally broke:away into a coppice of Plaintiff on the road side, and, after trying - to call them out a consider able time to no purpose, Defendant rode in at the gate,. and, by the best means in his power, got them away in a feW minutes. Upon the evidence being closed, the Learned Judge made some observations, and then left it with the Jury to say, whether Defendant had been guilty of a wilful trespass-or not. After a little consultation, they returned a " Verdict for Defendant ;" but his Lordship,told them, as Plaintiff had given Defendant notice,he must have damages (which, if they thought Defendant had not been guilty of a wilful trespass) might be the smallest they could name; and, without a moment's hesitation, they gave Plaintiff nominal damages, and no costs. On Saturday, at five o'clock in the afternoon, a single highwayman, with a crape over his face, dressed in. a'dark brown . coat, and mounted on a black horse, the ofFleg behind white, robbed'a lady and a gentleman in a single horse chaise in Water lane, leading from Brixton-Causeway to Dulwich, of two guineas, a watch, and a gold chain. 1 -1, " daring robbery was .....1:1 ! ) a rew yards of a firm-house, in sight of some gipsey gangs and a man lending a cow, who says he can at any time identify the robber.
