PRICE OF IiTOCKS TOT , Y AT TWELVE O'CLOCK. • • 63,11 IRed. Ann, 64 65 I Oninium 9110 i . WE are enabled to assure our Readers, from the most unquestionable authority, , that Lord LAUDER DALE will s e t pffini the course of this day for Paris. LES Lordship was elipeCted to leave Town soon af ter one' O'clock. One of the persons who arrived yesterday from Paris was Mr. GODDARD, who was formerly Private Secretary to . Lord GREN- . 1:-ILLE, but happening unfortunately to be in France on the breaking out of Hostilities, he has been detiined there ever since. Mr. GODDARD was . the bearer of 'Dispatches from l'.ord YARMOUTH, which, - in consequence of Mr. Fpx's illness, were ta ken to Lord GRENVILLE'S: Mr. GODDARD arrived about Seven; and at nine o'clock a Cabinet CoUncilwas • held. _ Lord LAUDERDALE is to be accompanied by Mr. GODDARD, who will a& as his Lordship's, Private Secretary during the Negotiation. -- Our 'Aeaders 'will do us .the justice to recolle4, that we stated a feW . days ago that the Negotiation would speedily take as decisive turn. , Subsequent events have 'justified that opinion ;, and we can now ven ture to state, that in a, few days . ' the Question of Peace or War will be decided ; 'for His Majesty's Ministers are, we believe, unanimously resolved not to suffer a protracted Negotiation. WE received last night Paris Papers to the 26th-, and Dutch to the 30th ult, They confirm what we exclusively stated on Wednesday, viz. that a Treaty of Peace between France . and Russia was signed on the - Vith lilt. which some of our' Competitors doubted, and others confidently denied . : M.' D'Ou tr; tL was of course the Plenipotentiary for-Russia, and General CLARKE a&ed in the satne . .capacity fot . France. A CirCalar Letter to the different '-Ports, from the Minister of.the French Marine, an nounced this important faa,to, the Public. This event seems to _have raised the spirits of the peeple and has proportionablY:Opertited upon the French Fends. Bank Stock had O'n the 24th risen to 1157. 56. _:and at the same period the 5 per Cents, were 67. 20. Hence, no ''doubt inferred in the French Capital that this separate Treaty between France and Russia is the harbinger of a General Plicification with this Country, and the several . Powers of Europe. In consequence, too, of this au sicious event, the Moniteur has announced. that grand triumphal Fetes are to take place in Sepfem ber, the' last 15 days of which will be wholly' ~ de voted to national festivtties. WE are enabled, by the receipt of the Hamburgh Paper, to anticipate the contents of the next Ham burgh Mail. Cataro has not yet been formally deli vered up to the Fremch ; but as Peace has been signed between France and Russia, there can be no doubt that the Russians will evacuate" it as soon as the French Are ready to receive it. There is too much reason to fear that the gallant Prince of HESSE has been obliged to surrender THERE is strong reason to hope 'that. the other French Frigates who have, been committing depre dati6ns in, the Greenland Seas, on our Commerce, will share the fate of their Consort La Guerriere.—, His MaYnty's Frigate La Loire; ,-which was. on the Irish station, was chace; a few days ago . by three French• Frigates coming frorn'..the North, ward. La Loire, by superior sailing, - escaped the le,nemy, and fell in with the Superb, of, 74 guns; and , the, Niobe Frigate,. and they all immediately joined in pursuit of the Enemy off Belleisle: THE account of-Mr. Fox this day is by no Means more favourable_ than it was yesterday. We understand that on Tharsdny his Royal'High ;loss the Commander in'Chief went down . to South amptpn, to take' his passage to the Isle of Wipt, where he intends spending afew days with Major (,3eneral The Earl of CAVAN, of the Guards, who commands in the Isle of Wight. 'Qn Sunday, it is saki, his Royal Highness will, on bis. return through ,Portsmouth, dine with Major-General Sir GEORGE fltEvosT, when the DUKE of CAiIIfRiDGE will meet him. On Monday the Horse Artillery, Foot Artil iery, and the 7th and sth Regiments of the Ger man Legion; will be reviewed by their Royal -i-iieshnesses.• The nutiE of CAMBRIDGE is Colonel is - Chief of this very: orderly 9nd fine Legion. It is said that both their Royal Highnesses dine with the Legion on Monday, and thereafter return to town.

PLra LT Jur:y 31.--Intelligence is received - , by the' Dispatch Sloop-of War, which arrived here yesterday, that La , Loire Frigate, stationed in the, Irish Channel, had been chased some days since by three French Frigates from the ,Northward, sup-_ posed to be those that have been in the Greenland Seas, frohi whom she lilade every effort to escape ; and, on running from them, fell in with the &pert, of 74:guns, .Capt.- j. KCATES, and Niobe . Frigate, when the Whole joined in pUrsiiii•fof, the EnernT.' off, Belleisle, and, there as. reason to hope; will give a good- account of them, as the British Ships are all good sailers. • Sailed the Lady IParren Aribed Ship, with a Convoy, for the Downs.

" With the Thames, we are making the best of our way to . . Greenland, in pursuit of three:French Frigates, that have captured several of our Whalers there. A few days ago we took a Whaler under Prussian Colours : we have taken another this day (by which you will receive this Letter), and are now in chace of a very large Ship, which we -expe& to be soon alongside of. I not time to say more, as our Prize is going to sail immediately:' - The Olive Branch, 11 'CHARDS, from Baltimore, arrived at Cork the'27th ult. : on the 23d, in lat. 50. ,52. long. 13. was boarded bY .the Brilliant Frigate, Who saki there were two or three French Frigates in that quarter. • • • The Surinam, Berbice, and Demerara Ships, about 30 .Sail, sailed ifoin . Demerara the 16th June, under convoy ofa 20-gun Ship, for Grenada. The following particulars are extra&ed from a letter received at Plyniouth from .arr Officer who was present at the cutting. out Le Ccesar, of • 18 4 7,titis, National Corvette, from the Garonne, near Bourdeaux " A few nights since Le Ccesar, 18 guns, and 100 'rneii, was cut out of BOUrdeaux River, in the hand somest manner, by the Boats of our Squadron em ployed in blockading Rochefort, under the Corn -Maud' of Sir S. HOOD.. -A Boat from each Ship was dispatched on board the Indefatigable, 44, and Iris, "32 guns, under the. Command of Mr. SIBLEY, First. Lieutenant:of the' Centaur, 74 guns, Commodore Sir S. Hoon, to endeavour to capture or destroy a Con voy of:501 Sail, laden with stores for Brest, lying in Verden.Roads, in the Garonne; exaetly in the situa tion from which ,La Tapageuse was taken by the Pallas, '32 guns, Captain Lord COCHRANE. The Boats--found two Brigs of War quite prepared for them ; 'but Lieut. SIBLEY persevered in boarding one of them, and in cutting down the hoarding nettings : in the a& of performing this service he was.,soon severely wounded in many .places. Le Cceiar was in our possession in a few minutes. Her 'Captain, LE FORET, defended himself in the bravest manner, and actually stuck . his back against the mast, flourishing his sword to animate his men, who, were firing from 'below : in this situation he fell, with .14.0 f his crew, encouraging them to the last moments of this severe conflict. Le Ccesar be ing in our possession, : was now attacked by the other Brig of War, and the Batteries on both sides the River, and a smart- aaion ensued, in which she cautiously avoided being boarded by our people, and endeavoured to decoy Le Cmsar on the shoals of the River Garonne. During the above severe aCtion the Convoy cut and ran higher towards Bciur ,deaux, and by that means escaped. The Corvette was, therefore, the only fruit of the expedition, which was very well planned and executed, as far as untoward circumstances would permit ; for had the wind blew off' shore instead of to the westward, the tides at the same time running With the greatest • rapidity, both the, Brigs would have been in our possession, and most of the Convoy ; and we might have retained, poSsession of the . first River in France as long as we choSe, as the Indefatigable and Juno, which were -close In with the Light-house, could have prevented any reinforcement.---W e are sorry to state, that this very' gallant aetion - has not been achieved without some loss. The exaCt particulars are not yet known. Lieut. SIBLEY 15 likely soon to recover ;• and the Lieutenant of the Monarch is also in a fair way. Tliere'were thirteen Boats. But the tide ran. so strong, and 'the night was so dark, that they separated, and several of them were lost. One was sunk with 20 men-in her; but most of their men were picked up by another Boat. About twenty of our prime picked Seamen were killed or wounded. Lieutenant HELPMAN is among those who fell. It was a well-planned businesi altogether,,aud would ,have entirely succeeded but from the darkness of the night and the tide, with adverse winds, running 'so strong, as stated in 4he former part of this letter.- ,Yesterday the Dispatches for Bombay; by the Sir Stephen Lushington, Capt.

PARIS, JULY 23.—The Moniteur of this day con tains the following : The Minister of the Marine has dispatched a circular letter to all the Parts, in. which be commu nicates the intelligence, that Peace between Franc* and Russia was • signed on the 20th instant by the respeetive Plenipotentiaries, the General of Division CLARKE, Councillor of State and the Cabinet, and by the Privy Councillor D'Ounitir. ; and that•ac eordingly orders are given to the Admirals and.Com 7 thandants of the Ports, and those of his Majesty's Ships, to treat the Russian Vessels as friends." The Fetes which were announced for the Month of August • will take place within the first fourteen. days of the month of September : this delay is ne cessary, to give time for' the arrival of the Grand Army. JULY 24.—There is a great talk about a Cod. federation, which, it is said, is already formed, or about to be so, under the title of the Fede ration of the Rhine. The Kings of BAVARIA and of WrzaTEmEtritoz, the Ele&or of BADEN, and the Landgrave of HESSE-DARMSTADT, the Duke' of CLEVES and BERG, the Princes of NASSAU, YSEMBURGH, HOHENZOLLERN, AItEMBERG, and ,S.kr.m, are, it is believed, the principal .Contraa ing Parties. A Treaty of Alliance , and 'reciprocal guarantee will unite them, under the protedion Of France ; and the Confederation will keep on foot an Army of 60,000 men. It is added, that the_ Ele&er of BAD.EN, the Landgrave of DARM-• STADT, And the Duke of CLEVES will assume the title of Grand, Duke ; and that all the Confe derated Princes will separate themselves from the Germanic Body, that there may be no longer any opposing relations between their interests and their political connexions. It will be soon known more exa&ly what fOundation there is for this news, which occupies so much the German politicians, and, which, for some days, has been current in the circles of Paris. General JUNOT, Grand Officer of the Empire, is appointed Governor of Paris. The Argus of this day contains the following : " The news of the conclusion of Peace between France and Russia will excite a very unfavourable sensation at London, where they dread nothing so much as a separate Peace, This Peace is announced before it was wel l known that the Negotiations were opened. Ever since the Treaty of Presburgh the War has been without an object. The results of this Treaty will be more favourable to all Europe than those of Liflievillc or Afflict's. At that period Italy pre sented only a .body parcelled out among Powers which were secretly at enmity with each other. Venice and the Tyrol, in the hands of Austria, gave uneasiness to the State which was lately de tached from . its Empire.' Holland was a prey to the concussions .of a fluetuating Government, and was secretly agitated by the neighbouHng Powers, who wished to maintain an influence there. Ger many, ill united in its federative system, was every 'instant menaced with dissolution. The interests of the greater part of the p4pces were evidently dig. tin& froni those of their head ; the issue of the last Coalition has proved it. France herself had not yet received, either in her Qovernmeht- P r in her relations with other States, either that stability or dignity which she has assumed among Nations but now the bases of the political.organizatiori of Europe are laid in such a manner'as 'to' afford reasons to believe that its tranquillity cannot be disturbed hereafter." PARIS, Jr 25.—1 n our Paper of yesterday it was said, that the Fetes announced for the month of August would not take place till the month of September, this delay being thought necessary in order that the Grand Army might arrive. But we said that the Fetes would take place in the first fort night of that month ; this was 'an error; they will be celebrated in the second fortnight of September. —(ll7onitcur) The Jewish Deputies will assemble for the first time next Saturday, the 26th inst. in the ancient Chapel of St. John; adjoining to the Hotel de Ville, which has been prepared for holding their Assembly. NAPLES, JULY 6.-The King has ordered to set out, for the siege of Gaeta, two companies of the Ist . . Regiment of Neapolitan Chasseurs. This is the Regiment which made the demand of His Majesty at the time of the Review at Averja. Those Sol dierS, • who thus - solicited a post as dangerous as it is honourable, are all Neapolitans. The' confi dence which is placed in the Government, the love which our new Monarch knows how to inspire, can not fail to excite the valour and enthusiasm of all ranks of people, The fortress of Gaeta continues to be cannonaded. It is believed that there-will be a general attack in a few days, The English in vain make inroads upon our coasts, and attempt still more vainly to excite the people against the Government, They have dispersed at
