THE SUN, SOW& Q,UIS DICLILL TALSUM AUDZAI ? LONDON, :JULY 25, z2cz. THE Ha h Mail due on Wednesday ar rived this morning. It has brought us nothing from Egypt, nor indeed any intelligence of import. (ince which has not been anticipated. The accounts from Leghore, of the disembarkation of GAN ": HE .V17M13 at - Derna, On the Barbary Coast, are re_ ratA, under the head of b . /pre-lice; a circumstance which only proves that the report is of Italian ori gin, but adds nothing to its charafter for autheuti city. The accounts from the different Ports in Flanders, relate to the Naval Preparations in .those Ports, Or ale Lvasion of this Country. A Confidential Servant of Government was de puted to the iVlansion-House on Thursday after noon, to explain to the LORD MAYOR the wishes of His Majesty's Ministers, and to request that he would recommend to the Court of Aldermen to authorize the issue of Press-Warrants in the City—a permission which has not been obtain ed for many years, and which the City is very cautious in granting. The situation of public affairs, and the evident necessity of using every exertion tr , call forth the whole strength of the Country, in duced the Court to agree to back these Warrants for one month . , and accordingly several hundred persons were impressed on the same evening, and the press continued very aaive throughout yesterday. " Besides the preparations and the employment of the various forces which we have lately mentioned, the whole of the Regular Troops in the Kingdom will be rendered disposable, by substituting the Volunteer Corps in the present duty of the line. The example proceeds from the Capital, where the Royal West minster Volunteers will next week take the duty of the Guards, whO are to march for the Camp near Chatham. The Bucks 'Militia has orders to encamp .on Claaon Cliffs, which command that part of the Es_ sex Coast between the Colne River and Harwich. The 4th Regiment of Foot is on its route, to re inforce the Troops of the Line in the Eastern Di:— trid. Orders have been issued to the Plymouth Garri son, by Majbr_General ENGLAND, for the Regi ments, Volunteer and, Assodated Corps, to get per fect in their different manoeuvres, and particularly to be instrufled to level low, as the General means to brigade the whole Garrison early in August. Orders have also been issued to the latter Corps, to have their arms kept in perfectly good and serviceable order, as an Officer of Artillery is, in about a fortnight, to inspea and report upon the state of the arms and accoutrements of the Volun. Leer and Associated Corps to Major-General ENG LAND, and from him to the Commander in Chief. Yesterday the Colours of the Uxbridge Yeomanry, commanded by Sir CHRISTOPHER BAYNES, were presented to Captain HILLIARD, in presence of the whole Corps, by Lady BAYNES, on Uxbridge Moor, before a very numerous and genteel company, many persons of fashion being present. Her Ladyship male an impressive speech on the occasion, re ininding the Corps of the probability of their speedi ly being called into aaual service to repel Invasion ; and Capt. HILLIARD, in reply, answered,for the courage and alacrity of his bro&er , soldiers. The ground was kept by the Buckinghamshire Cavalry, - commanded by Lord GR E NVILL E. We find there is not the remotest foundation in truth, for the paragraphs which have lately appeaf ed in some of the Papers, respelling a dignity being conferred on Mrs. GEORGE ROSE. CHAR,IES CAMERON, Esq. son of the late Banker, is appointed to the Presidency of the Civil Govern ment of Malta, with a salary of zyool. per ann. Sunday last Mr. AB gorr, Chief Secretary to His Excellency the LORD LIEUTENANT of Ireland, ar rived in Dublin. Lieutenant-General TARLETON has arrived at Cork, and it is said, to take the CPmmand of the Southern District. The Marquis DE RI ZA, Ambassador from the Court of Portugal to the Court of Russia, and his Suite, are to embark on board His Majesty's Ship Latofta, Capt. So rIIERON, now in Yarmouth Roads, to be conveyed to St. Petersburgh. The account published in the Papers, of the death of Sir THOMAS PARK YNS, Bart. at Bunncy Park, is we are happy to find, unfounded. Sir THOMAS is now with his Lady and Fatnily at Bridlington, in Yorkshire, in good health. It is not easy to con ceive what objeCt knavery or folly can have in such statements. Yesterday was the first public day of transferring Consols since they shut fox' the Dividend. A great deal of business was transafted in them, The Sale at the . .Corn-Market, Mark-lane, was as dull yesterday as on Wednesday. A large sup ply (from 4.5..000, to so,ooo Quarters of Foreign 'Wheat, with other articles being (~n sale} but no buyers. Oats from 2S. to Is. lower, and a great quantity of them at market. At the General Quarter Sessions of the Peace for the Western Division of Kent, 4dward 401z,v ards, ccniviaed of a misdemeanor, in buying a cow at. Farninghain Fair, and afterwards, on the same day, selling it again in the same fair, was fined soh and ordered to be imprisoned twelve calendar months. At the late Quake . ; Sessions for the County of Suffolk, William Bacon, servant to Mr. T. BALD wIN, of Walsham, was remanded to the County Assiies, to be tried on a charge of having burned the mouths of his master's horses tvith spirits of No. r 2! 40 4 .9 1\ EW S.

ARRIVED an open Boat, called the Ox, of Lyme, about four tons burthen, laden with 36 bags of salt, from Guernsey, detained in the Channel by the Valiant hired Armed Lugger, on suspicior) of her being stolen from Guernsey, and intended to be carried to France, having only two boys on board to navigate her, and being destitute of provisions. Arrived the Boadicea Frigate from a Cruize, and Valiant Lugger from the Eastward. Sailed the Si/ph and La Suffsante Sloops of War, on a Cruize ; Milbrook Schooner, with a Convoy to the Westward ; Earl St. Vincent Schooner, with a Fleet of Viduallers under convoy for the Channel Fleet ; and London Packet Armed Ship, with a Con voy for the Downs. PORTSMOUriff JULY 24. ARRIVED the Anker's Hope, AignEasoN, and America, HOME, from Christiana; Spes et Fortuna, SwFNsoy, from liolmstrand, and Eagle, ALLEN, from Aberdeen. A Cutter takes the Ships to the Downs under her convoy to-morrow, if the wind is fair. Several Colliers arfi here waiting Convoy for Guernsey and Jersey. YARNICIPTH, JULY 24. SAILED the Albion Armed Ship, with Ships un der convoy to Hull, from Hamburgh ; the Bittern Sloop on a Cruize ; Pylades Sloop to the Nore ; and Ale& Fire-ship for the Downs.

La jahuse and Cabourg Brigs have detained and sent in five Ships under Prussian Colours. SHEERNESS, JULY 24. This day arrived His Majesty's Sloop Pylades, of 18 guns, Captain BOORDER, illeaQ Fire-ship, Captain O'BRIEN, and Con . ;lid Gun-vessel, Lieut. WOOD ; the two former from Yarmouth, and the latter from the Downs. The following has been published as Lord NEL. SON'S Address to the Baltic Fleet on quitting it to return to England : Lord NtLso4 has been obliged, from the late very bad state of his health, to apply to the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty for leave to return to England, and which their Lordships have been pleased to comply with: But Lord NELSON cannot allow himself to leave the Fleet, without expressing to the Admirals, Captains, Officers, and Men, how sensibly he has felt, and does feel, all their kind ness to him, and also how nobly and honourably they have Supported him in the hour of battle, and the readiness they have shewn to maintain the honour of their King and Coun try on many occasions which have offered; and had more op portunities presented themselves, I.Ord NELSON is firmly persuaded they would have added more glory to their Coun try. Lord NELSON cannot but observe with the highest sa tisfadion which can fill the breast of a British Admiral, with the exception of the Officers of and -*, that out of tB,coo Med, of which this Fleet is composed, not a com plaint has ben made of any Officer or Man in it; and he can not hut remark the extraordinary health of this Fleet, under the blessings of the Almighty God, is to be attributed to the great regularity, exa& discipline, and cheerful obedience of every individual in the Fleet. The Vice-Admiral assures• them he will not fail to represent to the Lords CoMmission ers of the Admiralty their highly praise-worthy condul ; and if it pleases the Almighty God that :the Vice-Admiral reco vers his health, he will feel proud on some future day to go with them in pursuit of further glory; and to assist in making the name of their King and Countrybeloved and respelled by all the world. (Signed) NELSON and BRON TE. • * Two very small vessels, whose names we emit, for fear of any mistake in the copy. It is said Lord NE LSO N is appointed Commander in Chief of the Squadron destined to aft on the Coast of Holland ; a:id that Rear-Admiral GRAVES and Rear-Admiral TOTTY are to serve under'him. Mr KLYNE, an Admiralty Messenger, was dis patched at a late hour last night to Admiral Lord GARDNER, Commander in Chief at Cork, with in_ struaions for the defence of the Irish Coast.— The number of Gun-boats stationed in the, Downs has been considerably augmented, and. the„ utmost degree of vigilanez is discernable in every -depart ment, and upon every Coast. One Hundred Pensioners from the Royal Hospi tal at Greenwich, are ordered to be drafted on board the different Ships which' are to be stationed as Floating Batteries along the Coast. Two of the homeward bound Jamaica Fleet, viz. the Eliza, of Cork, Capt. LONG, and the Robert, of Kingston, Capt. GALE, are arrived at Cork.-- They parted with the rest of the Convoy off Cape Clear, consisting of about, tBo sail, all well. Accounts received -from -America state, that " On the 28th of May two Frigates from France, with a new Governor for the Island, arrived safely at Guadalciupe. It was, however, on the 2d of June blockaded on all sides by eighteen British Ships of War, of various sizes ; so that no supplies could be introdUced into it, and its speedy surrender was of couise expeaed.— The Bereeaux Frigate, formerly captured by an American Frigate, has been refitted at the'expence of the United - States, and is restored .to France. She is now' the 'Harbour of Boston, ie expeaed soon to sail, and is awaited off the Har bour by the Sloop • the Pheasant, of 18 guns.".• HAMDUPCH MAIZ, FLORENCE, Jost 30. ACCOUNTS received y(szerday frbm Leghorn say, that according to the accounts of several Captains who arrived there, Admiral GANTNEAUME has landed his Troops at Derna, an African Maritime Town in the Kingdom of Barca. Derna is five days journey from Alexandria, principally through the Desert.---GANTHEAUME sailed from Sicily to the North of the Island of Candia, and thus escaped the English Squadron ,under Admiral BICKERTON, which was detached from Egypt in quest of him. FRONTIERS OF RUSSIA, JULY 8. ACCORDING to accounts from St. Petersburgl4 the War-Governor, &c. Count VONDER PAHL E after resigning all his employments, left St. Peters burgh on the 27th June, and will, it is suppose', retire to hii estates in Courland. The General )f Infantry Go L ENISCHTSCHEW-KUTUSOW, is a?- pointed his successor. LEGHORN, Juxt IHE r renal troops are making preparations to leave us, and our GRAND DUKE will probably soon again take possession of his States. Our Port is now entirely free, and ships are daily arriving and going out, so that trade begins to revive. The English Ships of War, however, hold the Ports of Sciciy and Calabria strklly blockaded, to prevent, no doubt, any French Expeditions sailing from them for Egypt. MILAN, JUNE 30. ACCORDING to accounts from Malta, two Eng_ lish Frigates have sailed from that Port with several Transports, laden with provisions and ammunition, for the English Army and Fleet on the Coast of. Egypt. 'There are still 4000 men at Malta. Several Captains of Ships that have arrived at Genoa say, that Porio Ferrajo has at last surren dered to the French. HAVRE, JULY 6. YESTERDAY evening fourteen more Gun-boats, and three Pinks sailed from ouf Harbour ; it is ,said they are going to Dieppe; The wind has been in their favour the whole of last night. • OSTEND, JULY 14. SINCE the Flotillas from Havre, Boulogne, Ca.. lais, Nieuport and Ostend, have been in motion, the English have colleted before Dunkirk, where it is supposed that all those Flotillas will rendezvous, and form a Naval Force of nearly zoo Vessels of War, among whom are several large Frigates. In any case, important events may now be expeEted soon to take place on the Belgic Coasts. BRUSSELS, JULY 12. AT Treves and Namur, as well as at Luxemburg, the French are selling all their Magazines of Provi sions that can be spared, with a great quantity of field-equipage, and 3000 artillery horses : 400 pieces of cannon brought from Germany have been new cast to the French calibre in the Foundries of Metz. An Officer of the Consular Guard, has passed through this City on his way to St. Petersburgh. The greatest activity prevails in every depart ment of Government, in preparations for the Ene my should they be rash enough to carry their threats into execution. A number of cannon were yester day removed from the Tower, and sent to different parts of the Coast where an accession of Artillery is wanted. Press Warrants too, 1, , ,T understand, are now carried into execution with the greatest stria ness. Whether there is or is not any danger of a Gallic Im7)asion, our Great Land-holders should exert themselves resolutely in support of the Constitu tion, to which they are indebted for a secure posses sion of their property.—Like the Monarch of Antiquity who kept an Officer on purpose to remind him every day, amidst his grandeur, that he (was mortal, they should be constantly warned of the Jacobin Toast lately given at a Patriotic Meeting, viz. " May the Usurpation of the Great Land holders be speedily destroyed, and every man recover his original share of land." In the Arrete of the rBth of July, the Magistracy of the Dependencies of France, are ordered to as semble on,a particular day, for the purpose of re ceiving. the Promise of Fidelity. to the Republic, from the people- in 'general, as well 'as to renew that',.promise o'n the part of themselves. This order seems strongly to imply a doubt of the at tachineni of the People to the present order of things in France. But it is evident, froLn the fiis tory of Mankind, that no Government can be con. sidered aS secure, which requires such proofs of po pular regard, and . that all such protestations can afford little satistaftion to those who exat them. Mrs. Bi LLINGTON, we are again told, has not yet come to a finale with either Theatre, which in. : deed nay well be believed. After so many bars have been p4lyed .sf, it would not be wonderful if .411 these maTements should end in a fugue. WEYMOUTH, jttLY 2 Yesterday, THEIR MAj ESTI ts were highly de• lighted with their aquatic excursion ; having a fine breeze, they soon got round Portland, but the wind becoming cairn, gr.: MArESTY, anxious to go to the Theatre, ordered the Royal Barge and a Boat belonging to the Charlotte Yacht, to row them ashore : the Barge was towed by the boat from about two Leagues off Portland to Weymouth Har bour ; the men rowing about three hours, came ashore at ‘a quarter past seven o'clock. The Qua rt ordered the men refreshment, and admission into the Theatre. The Roy . At FAMILY on landing, rode to G1ou• cester-Loclge ; after staying a short time, they went to the Theatre to see the Comedy of "The Way to get Married," and the Farce of " The Deaf Lc•ver." Between the Play and Entertainment several fa vourite Airs with variations, on the Violin, were admirably played by Mr. WARE. This morning HIS MAJESTY walked before breakfast on the Esplanade. PRINCESS AUGUSTA bathed. The KING, after breakfast, accompanied by PRINCE ADOLPHUS, and PRINCESS SopHIA, on horseback, took an airing on the Dorchester road. The QUEEN and PRINCESS ELIZABETH, in the Phaeton, and PRINCESSES AUGUSTA, MARY, and AmEL t,A, ViSCOUItteSS SUDLEY, and Lady CATH• CART, in their Sociable, took an excursion as far as Ridgeway-Hill. The spirit of oUr Country co-operating with the alivity of our Government, will effeaually secure us from the attempts which the French may make to invade our Coast with any chance of success. The French Rulers are, no doubt, aware of this strong ground of national defence, and would cer. tainly not risk their Troops on so hopeless a sere vice, except they' want CO exppse them to certain destruction—a disposition which may, with strong probability, be imputed to them. It is, however,. very likely that they hold an intercourse with do mestic incendiaries, who are ready to betray their Country. Therefore we trust, that while our Go.. vernment is taking all possible means for the ex ternal protation of the Empire,- that they will also be equally vigilant to guard us against treachery at , home. " Eve►i_handed Justice" never returned gg the poisoned chalice" to any one more completely than to BONAPARTE, if we are to believe his own ac cDunt. His violent measures, destructive of Liberty of the Press in France, have been the occa sion of himself remaining in ignorance of his "o'w preparations against this country. The number of people present in Paris on the'ee lebration of the 4th of jtily, is estimated at not less.than boo,ooo persons. On Thursday evening a Press Gang, consisting of about fourteen persons, having received informa tion of a number of Sailors who lately belonged to the Company's Ships being secreted in some public houses in Leadenhall-street, , proceeded thither, pro perly armed, with an intention to impress them and take them on board the Tender. The Sailors, how ever, having intimation of their approach, instant , ly colletted together, and resisted the Gang: A general engagement immediately ensued, and the Tailors, after a difficult scuffle, proved viaorious • Ind obliged the Press Gang to relinquish their put.. pose. . It is said that Mr. BECKFORD has ordered his present furniture to be disposed of, with a view to decorate his mansion at Foothill, in a new style.—^ What his intentions may be, it is difficult to con• ceive, but nothing can be more magnificent than his house in its present state, and any change he can make can hardly be more expensive. KEMBLF, who is now performing at Hereford, has never been there since his boyish days. He was born in that neighbourhood, so that independently of bis high professional merits, the People will doubtless feel 3 relative connedion with him that will induce them to give a warm protettion to his talents. About ten o'clock on Tuesday morning, a most desperate attempt was made by some 'of the Pri. soners in Stafford gaol to , escape. One of the turn• keys, on entering the felons division 'of the pri son, was seized by Thomas Howell and 'William Fowlds ; they took the keys from him, tied him to the rail of the staircase, and then, with nine others, rushed out to the Boundary Wall, where they seized the ladders from a building which is erating for 'vagrants. The bricklayers ran from the building, gave instant notice, the alarm bell was immediately rung, and other precautions taken. The Prisoners were secured, and are now all safely lodged in separate cells. William Thorby, lessee of the ,City tolls, and contraaor for several other tolls, was conviacdp on -Monday last, at the Hertford Assizes, for felo oiously stealing a parcel of Irish linen out of a stage-waggon on the Hertford road. He was sen tenced to be transported for seven years. The conviaion of this man, who is nearly the last of a most, dangeroui gang, who, for several years, have been in the habit of committing immense de predations on . the public, and in a - way, against which it is difficult to guard, will have the most beneficial effeet. We trust tob, that the Proprie' tors and Trustees of Tolls will in future be more careful in their inquiries into the charaders of the men who take their gates. REMARKABLE OCCURRENCE.—In the night be tween Saturday and Sunday, the zith and izth stant, part of a dwelling house • about three mile! 'from Castletown, in the Isle of Mann, fell in and killed three people, viz. the owner, his wife, 0 6 daughter. The last was to have been married yes' terday !--There were two sons belonging to the fa' mily„ one of-whom was sleeping. in an out-house ; the other was from home, but returning early O il Sunday morning, was the first who discovered the tat accident. The father, who was in good cir cumstances, was frequently advised to rebuild hl house, which had long been in a ruinous state; but, on all such occasions, he said " the old house would ierve his life time.".- .So it did.
