THE SUN. SOLIM QUI& DICER& YaLSUM AUDZAT? LONDON, .7 uLy 6, 'So:. THE Hamburgh Mail due' on Wednesday last, arrived yesterday. From Vienna, it has brought an account received from Constantinople, but of what dare we are not informed, of the GRAND . VIZ!ER'S Army having successfully attacked the French Corps • posted before Cairo, and driven. it into that City, 'with the loss of some Artillery. The statement in this account agrees with the information already in our possession, in representing the commnnice iion of Alexandria with Cairo as cut off. The Re port at renna was, that Sir J. B. WARREN had fallen in with, and defeated GANTHEAUME'S Sipa dron, making Seven Prizes. The concurrence of all accounts, in our having obtained a Naval Vic tory in the Mediterranean, renders us very anxious for Official Advices from that quarter. The evacuation of Cassel having Calmed . the minds' of the German'Politicians;as to the situation of the - Ernpire„iii..ths ultimate settlementof. Which,. they still however look to , the interference of Russia and. PrU'ssi - a,', their attention is .direaed to Rome; v.-here the agitation was such in the last: days of May, : as ,ro-makeyhe Viench . -Ambassador. Meditate . providing' for the :lafetrOf his person by We have beeti so accustomed to see,. the'Republican Atnbassadors alarnicd; that `we have now learnt to ctinSidcr. it as the signal for sortie new injury to the Countyy :where - it occurs, -but. we do not yet dis cover What•Ro'ine.is endUre, as the Milan letter, Which states these 'fans, adds, that it had not yet been again occupied by French Troops. • Those who. are - eurioui to learn what are •the preparations with which the Chief Consul thinks proper to attempt . to terrify this Country, may find the details of them in the Brussels Article. The HaFriburzh .Mail which became due yester. cLty is not arrived, WE yesterday received Paris Papers -to , the 2d instant, and this Morning other sets to the 3d instant, which, however, have brought us, no new intelligence. The' most interesting fad which they contain is a letter written on the 7th of June, by the PR I§C E of PE AC E. to the Portugueze Commander in Chief, to inform him that on the preceding even ing Peace had been concluded between the two Nations. He does not, ho‘ever, positively state that France. is one of the Contracting Parties to this Treaty, but there is reason to believe that this must be the'_c'ase, as he says, " ebt .e , very hostile movement on -'the part of the Belligerent Powers . is t; cease, until the ratificatton." This - ratification can. only relate to Portugal and France, for the of PEACE begins. his letter by - saying Catholic Majesty yesterday signed a Treaty of Peace gzvith Portugal." No mention is made of the terms either in this letter, -in the Madrid Gazette, or in the FrenOh.Papers, • . - The Count and Countess 'of,LEGHORM have at length left PariS, which ,puts an end, to the specula tions of the - Parisiatis on this head,, though there still remains enough to amuse them in the departure Of TALLEYRAND, to drink the. waters of Bourbon Archankault,," &ming obtained. lea / rue of absence fir 25 is -Citizen Cm LLARD , f ormer ly Secretary of Embassy at Naples, and afterwards At Berlin, who ills his office ad interim. THE termination of the first Session of the Im perial Parliament is an"-event which naturally en gages the attention. Though it promised in its outset to be stormy and arduous, it has proceeded with more tranquillity and union than most of those which have preceded it ; and this commencement of the Union is the most happy omen with respe& to the future. 1r has been remarkable for no internal Crisis nor for any external cianger, and it leaves no traces on the memory but what are agreeable and encpuraging. It -is - the charaaeriStic of times of prosperity anti wise government, to present nothing remarkable to the observation of the common . . part of Society, bur_ the .enlightened mind, and the .gratefig heart, s cannot but pause -with pleaßtqe and estimate th.cir advantages. It will., therefore be ever recolle&ed, that in the few months which have elapsed of thefreset - q Session, the new Administra -o,tich.bean Its I.: ajTef at' the.sainelnOment, as . the Inwerial.Pailiament, have, by pursuing the. surer of their Predeleessors in ollice, and by • the_adop:: Lion Qt others,.seettred'tfie repose and the:prosperity of the. three Kingdttms.; and that 4grieulture r Corimerce, s and every other species of 'iridu'etry,..4.li , ebeen enton. and patroni . Zed itish e ch a 'rniinner as to a'plelflit of their , welfare and .advancement. The. - ifie;ii . ritaii;lll 'of these FliWeierit ad arttars is :far: frorp-I:iOng th&only ,favouraWe . circumstance; which sown'by the ignorant or the wicked, have been destroyed by vigilance -and firmness. Meal sures of prudent foresight have dissipated the alarms which Scarcity had occasioned;- the suf_ . ferings which it had produced have been greatly di minished,. and Divine PrOvidence, favouring hu man wisdom, premises soon to bring them to 'a final conclusion. TO add to this consolatory view, the health of our beloved Monarch is completely re established; and its long continuance is, with re_ spelt to him, all that remains to be prayed for by an affeCtionate and a grateful People. If the reco: very of His MAJESTY has rendered Our internal si tuation so different at the end of June from what it was at the end of February, oar external situation has, in' these four months, undergone a change more decisively advantageous than ever took place in so , short a space of time. A Coa_ . lition instigated by malice, promoted :by error,. and adopted by . weakness, threatened us for a single moment, only to produce a new triumph. The Enemy, whom our foes on the Banks of the Seine had. .succeeded 'in r raising up against us upon those of, the Neva, has disappeared, and given place to a Sovereign,. formed to ensure the affeetion of his Subjects, the esteem, of all other People, and that of our own in particular. The amicable connexion between,thii Country and Rus . sia .has been re_ established,. our Commerce has re slimed its ordinary course, - and that momentary crisis, the inconVeniencies of which were hardly felt, will lead to an improved situation, calculated on the triple basis of our Rights, our Strength, and our Interests.—Whilepur Navy was acquiring new palms of vitory, while our own Colonies were flourishing, and while we were adding 'new ones to their number, our Arms.were most eminently suc cessftl in distant Countries ;* and Egypt, of which it appeared as difficult to cieprive the. French, as the latter had found it easy .to' make them selvea masters of it, saw our Troops disem barking on: its Shores, and triumphantly subdu— ing all -before them. The complete conquest of .this Country appears to.be secured to us, and thus, whilethe number of our Enemies is reduced to one, we shall have deprived that . one of the only posses-- sion by. which it haltered itself with being able to balance our superiority, or to alarm our row c r,--- Seeing all its hopes destroyed, it ha's taken advan - - tage of the degradation of one of its Allies, to in vade the territory of one of our's ; but the advan. tages which War and Peace can have procured it, are but a feeble counterpoise to those of which we are in possession ; and Force or Negotiation offer us powerful means for disappointing the calculations and the hopes of France on this head. Having been led to speak of Negotiations, we cannot but con.. , gratulate ourselves on seeing them begun and con tinued, and on the prospeet of an end being put to the miseries of Humanity, We are incapable of estimating the extent of the progress which Go vernment has made in the career of Peace, or of deciding whether we shall reach the end of it, but it is much to have entered upon and to be still pur. suing it, • On this'point we feel a conviaion that the Minister, whose able and wise conduct we have been •commending, will do, all that the honour and the interests of a Countri so dear to him, and by which he is himself- so much esteemed, can require , and allow ;..and if it should, happen that his hopes and our own should be deceived by the obstinacy of the Enemy, his Country will, with their confi. dence, accord him their approbation, their' wishes, ,heir means, 'and-their-forces. TheY.mbarkation of TH:•• rit MAJESTIES and the ROYAL F.AmiLY, at Christ Church, to go to.Wey. mouth, 'on Friday last, exhibited one of -tile most beautiful scenes that can he imaginiti: the Royal Yachts were anchored in the Bay opposite to Mr. RosE's Cottage; the Frigates intended for the' Convoy, without them :- 2 —THErtt MAJESTIES ar rived at the Cottage from Cufliells, about nine o'clock, and were received in the Paddock in which it stands, by the Christ Church VOlunteers; commanded by. Col. WAi.cor, and the Yeomanry Cavalry by Mr. Geo. RosE., in the whole between three itid four hundred, and a Detachment of The Scotch Greys, quartered in the neighbourhood. After'breakfasting at the Cottage, THEIR MAJES. TIES. ,and the ROYAL. FAMILY embarked from ,the beach, where the Troops were again drawn up; the cliff. behind them covered with speople. . As soon as the boats put off from the shore, the Troops fired a triple volley, then.the Yachts and Frig,Jes saluted, and the whole was closed by a fire of the artillery all along' the Line on the:West ern ex tremity of the Isle Of Wight.
