; Two Paragraphs appeared in a IVlOrning-Paper of this day, the one respeCting a Communication, stated to have been received from M. OiTo*yesterday, and the other respcaing the Baltic Fleet, both of which we have been enabled to trace to a Forgery from some Verson in one of the Public OfEces; . who had presumed to use upon this occasion a high Official Seal, which naturally precluded all suspicion of fraud, The Negotiation, we have reason to believe; is in the most pleasing,state of progression ; and we likewise have grounds for supposing,' though Ao account of the' event, has aftually arrivpd, that Sir IhrDa PAtticua has certainly passed into the Baltic, ,Atid.as there were several objels of attack, accord cireuniKances shoul‘i direa, we may expea iohear 'some spfedy accounts from that quarter; though perhaps 'Copenhagen; as has been stated, may not be.the first place visited by our Fleet. • .WE yesterday stopped.the-Press to announce the teceipt of Paris Journals to the sth instant, by Express, and' we 'eoininunicated,.in the latter., part of our Impression, their . prioCipal - contents, .Two insetted in the Moni teur, and copied in the other. Journals, are in te.. reiting to the 'English, Retler. 'The first - is , in thest words : « It .was reported at. Naples, that the English had left .Macri on the zzd , February ; that they had arrived on "the tit - of March before AbOulir, Where they had anehoied, and where they awaited the Arniy the•GNo, VW ER ; that they had not yet ventured to-disembark, but were enelea7.rouring' to renew their intelligence . a.tiith their Partizans it: the' French Army." The first part of this_ Article (or witi::ll, the Moniteur affe4s to' can • ceal the truth) agrees, it may. he seen, : with the intelligence received. by the.Admiraltyleri, which ,we gave in our Paper •of - yesterday. This 'leads us to'suppose that the rest of the article is not less correa, and the last phrase in it confirms the fears 'which the. Moniteur has constantly expreSsed with repeei: to the ilisposi,juns of part of the Re . publican Amy,. After having copied this Intel_ ligenee, which comes . frorn .Nvies, under date of . the , t3th March, it is unnecessary to spew the fahiity of Letter from Cadiz of the same date; which states that information •had on the preceding day been circulated, of General Sir RALF!! ABER clumpy . having experienced a complete..defeat,,and having lost to,ooo men killed and taken Prisoners. It is evident `tlat the intel ligence from Yap/es must be much, the Most recent, ' and .we will venture to add also the most, authentic, as it is to be 'folio,' in the Maniiefir under the Paris Head, which giVes it a sort of Ocial 'sanaion, .while,that froth:C . 44z is merely placed under the . . datelof that Ott ; The second Article of the Moniteur is far from agreeing so well a. the former with the news . which we yesterday inserted on the sublet` 1 of Admirals W - Ag it Et.: and G•9711E-tuNiE , q The .Squadron," says t ff of Sit JoiiN WARR,v4,, after having been chased by Relt,Admiral G4tp - rlg4i;uti tnn4 Livintaac of the moment when .the latter had entered the Port of Toulots, to come out of Part MaAon: .He appeared at — the entrance of the Gu of Va . iles on the. r 6th Of March . with Four Ships of the Line and Two Frigates. He lay to the whole Of the i 7th. The English had frequtnt communi-• cations with the City.—We are assured that they took on board biscuit tr6 - d .- ati Gaitellarnaie. In the evening of the /7th the Squadron disappeared. - staamrat we see, is so much in opposition authentic data of which we were al ready in pOSSeSsion, that we cannot believe. it to be true Supposing it, however, to. be so, the result would' be,: that the Squadron of Admiral WARREN must have out.3ailed that of G.AN THEAUM E in the Mediterranean, as the latter, ithas never been supposed, could have sailed from Tou/on before the, .i7th: We have also to remark, that the manner in which the Mon;teur ,expresses itself, affords no grounds for conje&uring whether GAN TH trA.l E has or hag not again left Tordemi. We find in the Papers already quOted,' that the English had made themselves masters of the Isle of Za,ite, and ofiilve Russian. Ships. The •Friliik , Papers continue topresei-ve silence respthing the Negotiations' between that Country and . England, but it is evident, that it excites con siderable hopes at Paris, as well as here :—the Tiers 'Consolide had •reached 57, and fiatuated he . tween that - price and .g 6. " We underStr.nd, that the last INlessengar who ar rived from the Continent, M. MORM;TT, on his way throughliax;burgh, heard an account there that our Fleet hay' passsed the Sound.. We karn.with great satisfaction, that the Price of Wheat declined this morning at Mark I full Eight or Ten Shillings per. Quarter. This moriiiiig , a second ifamburgh Mail became due : neithcrf had arrived when this hirer was 'put to Pres. A 'report prevailed yesterday that, a French ThregMsck..Ship had been' taken . ..in the...Mediter ranuan, having Troops on board for-Egypt, but that two Frigates, part . 9f the same Squadron, with Soo Troops' on board, had got safe intoilhxandria. ~..1014 ST. lit Lr• Ns was never proposed as our Vegotiutor with France, as ignorantly, stated in 'wine of the Morning Papers, nor Was : - Cambray ever proposed as the place of Negotiation. Yesieltday , a Court of Diralors was held at the East India House, when GEORGE UDNEY, Esq. was appointed Second in Council at Fort William, I.7;ce Mr. t r ,,L s OW TiE R . The Court adjourned at a late ilf)tia tin t ItiS day. YesterOiay evening was marricd'at Dorset-House, by Special Licence, the Right Hon. Lord WHlT wow' a, B. to Her Grace the Dutchess'of DOR SET. Yesterduy the Master and Wardens of the, Bakers' Company waited on the LORD• MAYOR,: at the Mansion-house to set the assize of .Bream, and it appearing upon examination of, the Meak'veighers' returns that 6013 quarters and §hushels of Wheat sold.. at the Corn Exchange . between the 23d and 2 . Bth of last. month from 174.1.' to t 16.5. per quarter, abd Flour sold between . the . '2Bth and 3 ( instant, from 13p.. gd. to toys..per sack, forming Iverages of 1445 7d... per. quarter, and 1 . 295. 7d. per sack, whereupon h.,s 4ordship,ordered that no alteration should be made in the assize or price of Bread this week. We are hzipo in having it in our power, again to inform the Public of a further reduekion in the plieeffitclitite in •Smithfild Market on Friday and Monday 'la'st, which will 'enable the Butchers to lower their prices two-pence pet pound at least. On both days the markets were extraordinarily ftill,'and many heads of cattle' drove away unsOld. ,Prime beasts sold'at• 161. lower than'they did a fortnight ago. . Government has received from of one million barrels of Flour "coming from America. One half of the above is on its passage, and some has already artived, 4 4 ' Five thousand three lltioarc,l barrels of American Flour arrived last week in the Port of Liverpool. An Instrument has lately been published by the Senate of Ilamburgh, the preamble of which sets forth, that owing to the continuation, and almost daily rise of necessaries, and the extraordinary means for the.preservation of public tranquillity, an increase of the Military Force had become indis- Tensable,, and, therefore, a, tax upon all kinds of Horses, and. Men and Women. Servants, had been determined upon - for two years. TALLIEN reached Calais on the 31st uli,taccom.• panied by Citizen bELACOURCIERE. The per. mission given them by the •British Gov!rament to return to France diretily, without going round .by a Neutral Pint, has been considered as . a great fa vour on th: parr of the English Government.
