The LORD iIDPOCeITE did. not Onderstand what the Von.iGentlethan ,meant by dpfiance. He came there as.a Member of that Honse, t o do his duty and declare his opinion—n6t in defidnce to the opinion of his Right Hon. Friend, or any other per son. From w hat he understood it was not the wish of the Right Hon.

LONDON, VarbAY, 'JULY 4, 1606. THERE was yesterday a very considerable Auetua tion in the Fund's. i Oraniunn rose in the morning to and left off at This declension was -not - the 'consequence of any intelligence; but ptoceeded merely, ftom the anxiety Of those- who had pur chased Steck to realiie profit. It was yesterday confidently reported that the PrelinfinarieS of Peace bad aEtually been signed ; while Other reports stated, - that Lord HotainiNri or Lord LAUDERDALE was to set out for Parit iii a few days. While so many persons are so deeply interested in the keit:unions of the FundS at this juneture, the Public must expe& to hear every day freSh ruz h:MLitt; Calculated- to answer the purposes of the parties by whom they are circulated: We have ready stated; that a Negotiation is at present pending between the two Countries, and when we 'add, that the Nogotiation is, carried on :by Great Bri tats in conjunolion with Russia, it must be obvioili that the proceeding's cannot be' carried on with go much- celerity. as the sanguine eiPeetations of some persons lead them to suppose. We have reason to believe that Foreigners are at present eMployed in speculatiOns _in our Funds, particularly in Paris, and we must, of course, expe& to have many artfu l rumours afloat in order to promote 'their. pro je&s: Some expeEtations seem to have arisen 'from the report that the Duke of BRUNSWICK is on the eve of vi s iting this Country upon matters con t eetea with the Negotiations carrying on at Pa ris ; at least shit h is the interpretation given to this expeEted visit. • That our Ministry are dispos ed to make PeaCe upon . proper terms cannot be doubted, nor can it be doubted that 'BONAPARTE is anxious for the accomplishment of such a Inca sure, 'as we have often observed ; but, .whether, in the proud exultation of his recent successes, he will go so far as the honour and interest of this Coun try may require, is a point that puzzles conjecture. But whatever may be the result, Ministers will certainly not suffer any information to transpire till matters have assumed a more decisive shape than they can possi-; bly haye reached at'present. The report of the arrival of a Messenger from France was circulated this morning in the City, which had some effect upon the Stocks; but cer tainly no information upon the subje& was derived froth Government. ,It is now said that, the Report of the High Com mission, on an Inquiry of equal importance and deli cacy, will not be disclosed to the Public at large, but will only be' submitted to the great Personage by whose order it was instituted. As the ends of sub stantial justice will, of course, be fully accomplished, it would not become us to make any observations upon such an unexpe6ied circumstance attending the result of this very interesting Inquiry, however gratifying it might be to the Public at large to see Innocence properly vindicated, and defamatory Ma levolence properly, punished. Yesterday the usual Message was delivered from His MAJESTY to the House of Commons, for aVote of Credit, preparatory to the prorogation of Parlia ment. We have reason to believe that the proroga tion will take place in a fortnight at the utmost. IT was stated, by mistake, in our:Fahnuuth Let ter yesterday, that JEROME BONAPARTE'S Squadron had arrived at Batavia.; the _lila is, if the =mats from Ltsbon nalv ite 4tpended upon, til.at it arrived in the BA) , of All Saints, in krazil, on the 4th April, and, sailed again , on the 2lSt. s —There are.. n 074 so many British Squadrons in pursuit of it, that there is strong reason icS hoPe that it may be intereei;ted, . • • Messenger,, arrived 'in toWn this morning from Fratice, with Dispatches tbrMr. Fox : they' were taken to his house iii the'Bta' hie y,r4; • The report of Mr. Fox this rnorning.was still more favourable than yesterday. He passed a very good night, and continued mending to-day. . The Lords of the Treasury have been pleased-to appoint Mr. PHILIP GIiEGSON, Comptroller of the Four and Half per Cent, Plantation Duties, to be Surveyor of the Coast Waiters, in the room of ED WARD WHITEHOUSE, Esq. - deceased; and likewise to appoint HENRY CHISHOLINIE, ksci. to .succeed Mr. GREosoN. • At a General Court of the Corporation of Trinity- House, . held yesterday, the Right Hdri.- Earl . Sr. VINCENT was unanimously ele6ied an Elder,Brother, in the" twin of the Right Hon. Wm. Piiw, deceased; and Capt. JONATHAN WILSON was eleeted an' Elder 'Brother, ' in the, room of Capt.

HISTORICAL ANECDOTE.—A circumstance similar to that which ndw occupies the.attentiori of all ranks of the peoOle, took place in the. reign of CHARLES . the Secoud.=-Some miscreant , of that period brought 'suspicions on the fidelity of the Duchess of Yoßx, in Consequence of which an inquiry Was instituted, and the result was 'SO doubtful, In the opinion:. of the Duke, that though he doated on his wife he thought proper to determine on a separation, during which he suffered' the deepest anxiety. At length feelings of compunEtion induced.the wretch who brought tie charges to acknowledge that they were founded only in a spirit of revenge and malignant invention. The Dtrchess Was then restored to the favour of her Royal husband, with whom she lived in the most cordial affedion•till their last awful separaiion. • - Yesterday morning the . Lord 'Chamberlain; • and' several other. Noble Persons ; who are 'of the Com mittee for erecting a Monument to the memory of Lard . NELSON, attended at' St. Paul's, .with Mr. MYLNE, the Architeet, to consider of a proper place for it.

The 16th are to be relieved at 'Salisbury - by the 14th Dragoons, commanded by Colonel HAwitEit, now at liouuslow.

In consequence of these orders. from above, they began by burning the - great Chief of the.

The patronage belonging to Mr. Ct.rattAx's appointment is considerable. On Sunday morning last, about two o'Cleck;.g fire broke out in the stable . of a dwelling-houie; in the Market-place of .Collompton, Devon; react door to- the house formerly the Salutatio'd inn, which increased with great, violence 'till it had 'con— sumed nearly all , the houses from thence to the 'Post Office, where its progress was, stopped, bl,- pulling down part of a back-house belonging, to the. Post-office tenements. It was first discover ed by a woman, who was accidentally passing up the street to call up sotne persons that were going a journey. • . The inhabitant s ' were thrown infl great consternation, front their apprehensions lest a magazine of gunpowder, which .was deposited in . the Workhouse, but a very little dislance from the flames,. shOpld take fire, but it Was all speedily and happily removed : the engines Were veryjudfeiously worked with good effeect, and the fire got under about seven-in the morning. ' - As the workmen we're digging near the Poets' Corner, .Westainster Abbey; yeSterday morning,. It, lengthen the sewer, they discovered a skull, sonic thigh • and other bones, and, the lower part of the jaw bone, with the teeth entire, of a human skele. ton. The place not being used forinterment, it was conje&ured that the bones Were arose Of some per_ son who had been tnwdered. An eminent surgeon was sent for, who, upon examination, gave it as .his opinion, they had been interred 'at least one Izndred; perhaps five . hundred years, arid that mostsprobably the place was formerly used •as a burial g - rorliil The bones were evidently those of a person of un common size, and upon being pressed hard crumble 4 into dust. The teeth were perfe& and of a)arse size. A few days since a yerson who supped in the traveller's. room at the George Ini); Frome, took. an opportunity, 'in the absence of 'Mr. E. 1 . 1101113 g - (who travels for Messrs.
