WE this morning received Paris Papers ,to the '-/id inst. , Their contents are uninteresting in a positive sense; but nejaiiv:elk„ far otfierwise. Of the Naval ViEtory which the' Frerich claim off Airsiras, we find no other mention than a correc • cion iii Out Moniteur, of- errors in the names of Every view of the subje& renders us more sanguine that this is All which the French could t,lte Officers venture, to communicate.

PARIS, JuLr„ 20. , WE took the earliest opportunity yesterday, in the-article respeffing the Engagement at Alge,riras, to publish the, names of the Captains of the Ships which . had fought with such glorious success. The objea has not been accomplished, as these names were m_is printed—instead of LOINDET, CALONUE, MON.; COUSU, and PA.SSIERE, read LAINDET-LALoNDE, Captain of the .Forasidab/i MONCoUSU, Captain of the Inclomptable ; CHRISTI PALLIERE, CaptAn of the Dessaix. The ,names - of the Frigate and the Captain have also been altered. Instead of La APesiron, Capt. MERTINING, read the La Muiron, Capt. MAIITINES,TO. They write from Sainte Croix, in Teneriffe, under date of the sth of May, that a Spanish Ship from Buenos Ayres had arrived in those Islands some days • before, with intelligence that the Repub.. lican Corvette La Bergere, accompanied' by. die Musette Galley and Alerte Lugger,' had arrived in that port with two Prizes ; that these ships had made a successful*Cruize ; thar they were in a goo,' situation, and had soon after set sail to go to Cayenne. The Clef eln Cabinet subjoins to the account ; in the Moniteur, of the Naval Engagement off Alle szras, this apostrophe—" What a superb fight is that above described ! and of what future successes is it not the pledge ! Englishmen, yin! shall 'no longer be the Tyrants of the Seas. There is no Republican who does pot swear this, by the' Genius of France," - A private Letter from Constantinople, of the date of the Loth of June, gives us the following details " The French have an entrenched Camp of froM 6 to 7000 men before Alexandria, which have for three months kept in check between 12 and i 4,000 Eng lish, furnished with a foriniaable train of Artillery. The 'pOsition of General ME NOV, supported by the Forts of Ahxandrier, is very good. The entrenched' Camp under Cairo is of the same force,' and equally capable of resisting. A great noise has been made reveaing the affair Of Rhantania.—The Turks had no great merit in that attack, as they were -sup- ported by Three Thousand English. West hope chat the exc!Ange solicited by the Ruoian I\4 _ . nistei witi,be attended with success, and will soon break the chains of a thousand persons now in con. finetnent: Forty-fivt French Sailors were lately em barked.on bwrd Turkish Frigates, condemned to the gallies, and to serve against their Countrymen. The Russian Envoy ileciuired 'that they should be diseinharised, aud returned to the place of their confinement. The Porte at Jength complied. ; .--For some days the French say nothing respeaingEmt. This is favpqrable".augt{ry .for the French, - .for disag.reeahle news soon transpires, and the leas success 'of the Allies is here exa,_,,gerated." ROME, JUNE 27.--Every thing - is very quiet dlere. General Tel ELLE .has received orders to evacuate Fort St. 'Leon and the Province' of Mont .Fettro. This consolatol news has been sen hither from Floretice by ao,EstZette. h is Mon signor GALEPPI who has communicated it to us, and he received the news from the Commander in Chief, JULY 2!. The Commander in Chief BRUNE has taken his seat as President of the SeaiOn of War. The Chief Consul expressed his satisfaftion at seeing 'him re. sumo his functions, after the fatiguing and glorious Campaign he had made. The Mincio and the Attie were, in the year 1799, obstacles which stopped the French, but which General BRUNE crossed with rapidity. ROCHEFORT, JULY 2.—The Chief of the AdMi. nistration, to the Sub-Comehissary of Marine, at Sables :—" I am to make you acquainted, Citizen - , with a communication which the Minister has trans mitted to this Port, in consequence of an explana tion which had taken place with the British Gover nment on'the head of the Liberty of Fishing, by the intervention of Citizen OTTo, the French Commis sary at London for the Exchange of Prisoners of war. seems_ that the English Government conceive : ..Ist, That, tbe liberty of fishing is not foundal on a Con .vention, but on a mere'Concession on their part, produced by an appeal tnade in the last extremity, to the humanity of 'the British,.Administration and of the whole .Nation ; and ihat this Concession is alvvays!to, be subordinate to the Conve. nience of the moment. - . , • ad, That this Concession has never extended to the fishery of the larger kind, nor to the male in-oysters, or other tish, which, aucordirig to the English, sboWd be shackled in the '.1,111C, Way as every other suit of cOrtnneree. You` see this, that the liberty o,f fishing i t s reduced to that of shell.fish on the Coast : the acs of violence exercised against some of our fishermen should in - gpire you 11 Just mistrust as to the intentions cd the Enemy. 44 You will thenfdre give this notice all the . requisite publicity i n y our neighborhood; and particularl,y, give notice to the Fishermen to 'be upe6 their guard against the English, cruizers, and not expose themselves to imminent danger."_ Aucsaxißon, JULY u.—One of our Gazettes asserts io-day, on the authority of LetterS from Ra iisbon, that the differences which had occurred -in the ripper Palatinate, and which had given rise to the entry of the Austrian Troops into that Province, had been icmoved.

BAMBERG, • JULY 13.--The Gazette of this place contains the following article, under 'the head of Bareuth :—" On the Bth instant an order, arrived from the KING of Pauss rA to arrest eight Emigrants here, and to keep them close prisoners. Among these is probably PicsrEGRU, who had re sided at Bareuth for some time under the name of PETERLE, hut as he had left the town, he escaped. The restwere apprehended according to the order. L 1 FRENCH IVAKAL VICTORIES. • WE yesterday gave the French accounts bf their Naval Successes with :very little 'tlornment or oh, servation. The ,eXperience of the last seven years has taught our Readers to estimate pretty.cOrr4dlY. the official statements of the, Republicans._ Lest,. however, any should have- forgotten what a French triumph by' sea is, we feel it a;cluty to republish the account of the Vidor,- 'which they obtained aver" Lord HowE on the Ist of June,' 1794.. It varies in some -fr-zu" particulars, it is true from the 'state,- ments in the London Gazette, but it is certainly as well entitled to credit as Most. of the French ac .counts. - NATIONAL CONVENTIbN.
