IN addition to the intelligence which we yester day laid before our, _Readers ‘respe&ing Admiral COCHRANE, and the French Squadron under Ad miral GUILLEMEZ, we are enabled to state; that the two Squadrogs were in sight of each other on the 6th ult. ; at that time the'French Squadron was under an easy sail, and Admiral c4IHRANE standing after them with 'a press of sail. As the French Squadron sailed from Martinique Cu the 30th June and the Ist of July, and Admiral, COCHRANE left Barbadoes on the-2d July, they must either have sailed very bady, or have intentionally loitered on their passage, for him' to be in sight ,• of them on the 6th. It was espe6.ted — that the British Admiral would make an attack upon them in the night, with a view of cutting off, or disabling some of their rear Ships. The Homeward-bound Fleet was at anchor off Tortola on the sth ult. WE received last night Paris and Dutch Papers, the foriner to the sth and the latter to the 9th inst. They do not add much to the mass of, intelligence which we have lately received from' the Continent. We are, however, happy tofind that they do not con tain any official confirmation of the victory which was stated to have'been gained over the English in Cala bria. If the French had gained a decisive viElory in Calabria on the 4th or sth of July, the details must have been known in Paris before the s.th of August. The silence therefore, of the French Papers, • tends strongly to confirm the opinion which we expressed on-Friday, viz. that the . , account of this affair, in the linch PaperS, was unfounded, or at least. very much exaggerated.---We have extraCied from these Papers the Address Of the Imperial Commissioners . to the Jewish'Depnties who haq been assembled at d i,; ) Quostions propounded to them by order of BON APA RTE.AVIEh resped to the latter,weap-, prehend that very satisfaa.ory AnSwers Might have been obtained from any intelligent Jew, withont con- Veiling a specialAssemblyfOr the purpose of obtaining the desired information. It'is not yet known what are the privileges whiepQN APa ItTE tneans to grant them; but whatever they may be, he will take care to have a valuable consideration for them. The . French Papers contain an account of the 'gallant attack lately made upon the French Vessels, in the Mouth of the Garonne, by the Boats of the British Squadron cruiz lug oft that Port: 'lt appears that the Boat of the lievi!nge, which was missing, fell into the possession of the ‘E&emy. AT a late hour last night the Hanzburgh Mail due on Sunday last arrived. It is said that the Deputies from the-States who have agreed to form a Federal Affiance, tinder the prote&ian of BONAPARTE, are to meet at Frankfort on the Ist of next month. The power of the EMPEROR of GERMANY, as the h •ad of tire Empire, may now be Considered as entirely a: ni!iilated; and we shall not be surprized to find ,BONAPARTE insisting. that hi 4 Imperial, Majesty: • 014.0U1d renounce the title of " Emperor of Ger „Trimly," and confine hiMself to the one which he lately assumed, Viz. "Emperor of AUstria." IT has been stated in a Provincial Paper, that . " I he' Hiherriia has been vi6tualled for a long voyage 'take the Prince Regent of Portugal to the Bra zils, and to establish him there as King." It. is itainly true, that the Hibernia, hai been fitted for a long voyage, and may probably be em p'oyed for that purpose if circumstances should r. ;der it necessary. We stated some time ago, that one of the menaces thrown out by BONA PARTE during the present Negotiation was; that if the British .Government did not consent to a P, ace, be would take possession of Spain and Portu• , gal, and annex them to his own Dominions; or,'what is in substance the same, bestow 'upon theai Some . (,I hi; own family It is, therefore, by no means im probable that the PRINCE RECENT' may 1v..r.; de- i,crnl;ried to retire to the Brazils, in the event of his European Dornimons being taken from him ; and; of course, th'e-Brltish Government would alf&d.-I;im every possible assistance. 'Thpugh the terms of, the 'recent Treaty between France and Russia have .not transpired, it is' still strorw_ly insinuated that M,D'OuBRIL has probably exceeded. hiscoMmission; and• that the Treaty will not ~ ,bte, ratified "by his sovereign. We• have , before mentioned, that all observations of this' kind -must be founded merely' on conje&ure, and that it is by no YrneanS likely that M. D'OUBRIL would .have pre ; sumed to a& in a matter of so much importance 1 without , full autholvity from home. But the great change in the Russian Cabinet, and the recent dis ' mission of some respectable French Officers who hate . long been in the Russian Service, will suffiT ciently account for the Pacification which has taken place, without supposing that an AMbassador would venture to assent to any terms for which he had not I a full warrant from , his Master: • It has been stated that .Lord YARMOUTH was pre- Sent at all the conferences which took place between M. D'OungiL and Get}eral CLARKE on 'the sOje& of the said Treaty; but granting ,that his Lordship was aanally present upon these occasions, however fair aid open the'condu& of France might appear in that respe&, it is evident that such Secret Articles may have been agreed upon as would render' it ridiculous indeed for us to rely on suCh an' affe&ed show . of ingenuousness and liberality. , Mr. Fox was so much lietter this day, that the hopes of his friends now almost .amount to an ex pe&ation that be will entirely recover from the effeets of the disorder which, for some time, was .attended by symptoms of the most alarming deScription. His Royal Highness the Prince of WALES, after celebrating his Birth-day at Brighton, will, it is said, immediately set off, to attend York Races. His Royai Highness, on his way, will stop a few days at Mr. M. A. .TAYLOR'S, at his beautiful seat near Ferry bridge, Yorkshire. After the Races, his Royal High ness will honour the Earl of FiTzwiwAnt with a few days visit on his return, at Wentworth House, near Rotheram. The DUKE ,of YORK left Dover last night for Brighton; on a visit to the PRINCE, to be present at the celebration of His Royal Highness's Birthday, who completes his 42d year to-day. The DUKE of YaRK .will arrive in town on Thursday from Brighton: - At four o'clock yesterday. afternoon Baron DE JA COB! Kthrsr, the Prussian Minister at our Court, the Baroness JAcor.i, Baron. CO'NSTANCE JACOBI, their son,' and a few attendants, left town for Berlin in a post-chaise and two, and a coach and 'four. They were to sleep at Rumford, and proceed froM thence this day. to Harwich .His Excellency wilt then go on, by way of Hamburg - h, to Berlin. General NUGENT, late Governor of Jamaica, is appointed to the Comthand of the : Western District,, in room ot General SrNicoE, appointed to . t.he Chief Command in the East Indies. ' Mr. WM. FREEMANTLE,, the new.,Secr&tary to the Treasury, is returned for tire Boxough of Enniskillen, and is succeeded in his. office of .Deputy Teller of the Exchequer ;o the Marquie of IitiCizaNGILAM, by ROBERT BR ols' NR, Esq. of Aylesbury House, Bucks. . The vast increase of the Methodists may_reasori 'ably excite alarm in the Metuber,s of the Established, Church. According to; report,• the SOciety' have added to theirnumber, this year, nearly nine. thou sand persons; and fifty additional Chapels have been opened within the same period. It is certain that , the Preachers among these' people are, in general; much more active than the reg - ular'Clergy. • It is stated by the' late Treaty which, M. D'OU BRIL has signed at Paris, Russia guarantees Dalmatia . and Istria to the Kingdom of Italy; arid France gua. rantees Pomerania to Sweden. VOLUNTARY CRLMATION.—It appears from a late publication that the n umber of women who submitted to be burned on the funeral pile of their husbands within 30 rrliles,rohnd CalcUttaampunted only in the short space between the 15th of April and the 15th of 9Clober, 1804; to 116. Such is the prevalence of this shocking superstition, which it is to be hoped that the 4radual progress of English laws, manners, and religion, will, in a great measure, suppress, if not altogether abolish • A Medical Professor has declared that the Op thalmia, which has affeaed several, of our Regiments, is of a contagious nature . ; but there is no reason to believe that any complaints of the eye are contagi ous. - His advice, howevgr, that people should' not wipe their eyes with handkerchiefs which'have been used by persons who have the disorder in question, is certainly very proper; but for the honour of com mon sense it might be considered as wholly needless. Mr. ROBERT PALMER, the gtor; last night began a species:of entertainment, at. the. Lyceuni, in the Strand, upon the same plan as the memorable Lec ture on Reads, by the celebrated GEORGE ALEX ANDE>R STEVENS, of facetious notoriety.—Mr. PALL MER recited sketches of the Living and the Dead,, with many ehara&eristjc Portraits'of those whimsi cal Personages, who will always he found among mankind. The whole of this entertainment was written by CHERRY, the actor, and, was delivered by PALMER with Slid) humour, spirit, and variety,. as afforded much gratification to a very numerous audience. Miss LARRMAN, who made such asuccessfUl debut at Brighton, in the cliaratte:r of Rosino, was to have performed Leonora, in The Padlock; but was un luckily preiented by a severe cold. CooKE, it seems, has recruited his spirits, for he was to have pertbrwed the Boron; on the Dublin Stage, laSt , .week, on the appearance s of Mr. 'and Mrs. H. JouNsToK, in Lovers' l'invs, but, was ab. kent during the whole evening,. THE H.,420T17, 1 1G11 : MOIL. 114i:NAU, JULY . 29,—=At Frankfort the sufrender. of that City to the .F.leaor . Arch-Chancellor and the opening of the ConireSs of the . Federative States, is expec=ted iii a few days': several of the Deputies to that Congress .have already provided-themselves with residences there. It is said.that Marshal - AUGEREAU will return from Wisbaden this week, and take possesSion of Frank fort-for the Elea - or Areh=Chancellor. His Majesty the King of 1-Tolland, wholias „hi therto 'gone' every day . from . Mentz to WiSbaden to use.the baths there, will in future, for greater con veniency, take up his abode at the latter place, ,where a suitable residence is preparing for him. It is understood that the House of Nassau-Orange- Fulda will be invited to accede to the new Rhenish Federation. RATISON, JULY 28.—Within a fortnight or three weeks a French camp of 30,000 men will be formed in the vicinity of this City ; deliveries of forage, &c. have already been ordered for that purpose. At Munich the exchange of the Original AEts of Accession .to the Rhenish Federation has been made in presence of the Minister of War, :Prince BER THIER. The .commencement df this alliance, and the termination of the former relations, will take • place here on the Ist of August. HAMBURGH, AUG.S.—In the A& of Confederation of the new Rhenish Alliance, there is an article, ac cording to which all the neighbouring Princes, who in future shall wish to accede to this Confederation, shall be received into it. Instead of the regal dignity, te Elector Of BADEN, and the Land grave of HESSE DARMSTADT, will receive that of Grand Duke, with the title of Royal Highn'oss, Baden receives the Sovereignty of the Possessions of the Princes of Leiningen and Furstenburgh. Bava ria and Wurtemburgh divides Swabia and Franconia. Darmstadt obtains Friedburgh ; Prince JOACHIM* 4-fifths of the territories of Nassau ; the rest of which goes to the Prince of Nassau ti eilburgh alone. The Deputies of the new States will assemble at Frankfort on the Maine on the Ist of Sepcember.— NaroLnog will be present in person.‘ . , Since the conclusion of Peace between Russia and France, all-fears of a new rupture between the lat ter, Power 'and Austria have entirely yanished. The consequence of it - will likewise appear in the altered motion of the Troops, as soon as the Pece witN Russia shall have been ratified, ,when it is expeded' that Au)tria will give her consent to the new Rhenish Federation. . BR EMEN, AU.G. 4.7-u To-day an account, was re ceivett here tat the Prussiaus were marching to the Ems. A Prussian Army of 44,000 men is assem bling'near 2;R - ulster. On the 2d inst. _thee Prussian 'Garrison marched out of Osnaburgh, and Troops, 'have broken Up from Other parts of Westphalia. CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE 28.—According to the last letters' from Asia, the WeChabites continue to Make considerable progress; they have made them selves masters of Mecca and Medina, and greatly disturbthe Pilgrims. The Corps of Troops of 20,000 which was assem bled near Scutari, in Natolia, I)as already passed the Sea, and is encamped near Levant Tchifii, not fat from Pera. Their good discipline is greatly admired. Another Corps of 40,000 men will encamp near Tira (not far from the mouth of the Bosphorus), where a. Fort will be ereded, for which the Engi "leers TAUSSERAND and HODDE have received or-- dm to prepare a plan. Ot the Turkish Squadron lately mentioned,, only three 'Frigates have put to sea, with which the Capi tan Pacha will sail for Egypt, to carry. the new Go vernor, which dignity the Porte has bestowed on the Pacha of Solowich, on account of his good qualities. At the same aline, it is said, an arrangement will be made with the Beys, at the head of whom; it is known, is ELPI BEY: The Russian Ambassador, M. ITArat4sKY, still supports the application of the Prussian: Charge d'APircs, relative to the Free Navigation of Rus sian Ships in the Black ,Sea. The Porte has, how ever, as yet come to no resolution on the subject. VIENNA, JULY 26.—According to the last atl vices from Trieste, Cataro was still in possess - ion of the Russians ; the Austrian 'troops, were I,vtiit ing encamped in the Islands of Curzola. and Lessina. PROD'S THE BANKS OF THE ,MAI2IE, .114,Y 26.—T11e French troops which lk►ve till ,now, remained,in Franconia, in the Counties of Rockenburgh, Mer gentheim; and Hohenlohe, have set out to proceed by 'the Elaiorate of WUrt4burgh, upon the frontiers of Saxony. It is said in the Journals that the ci ,t, (cnt Duke of Modena will be .indemnified ,for iossof his States, by the cession of the, Princi- pality of Bamberg, for which the King of Bavaria will receive an adequate pension. - A numerous Corps of Freh i ch troops are assembling on the fron tiers of Bavaria.

MtIN;CH- ) JULY 23.---4 is certain that the French ,troops in Bavaria are 'in motion to advance on the side of the Innviertel and of Saltzburgh, to' take. possession of those two Provinces, in case a cer tain Power (Austria) should persist in refusing the payment of twenty-four, millions by. way of indem nification for the long continuance of the French_ troops in Bavaria. JULY 95.—Several circumstances induce us to presume that we approach the denouement of the present crisis, which will be determined, it is said, by the arrival of a Courier expe&ed from Vienna. It is supposed that, besides the negotiations rela tive to Cataro, the existing Treaties with the Porte, and the events in servia, are the objets which oc cupy at this moment the Cabinets of Paris and Vienna. FOOT RACE. Yesterday public expectation xvris much excited by the announcement of a Foot Race in Hyde Paik, between Curling, the Brighton Shepherd, and Grind ley, the Boot Closer, both noted for their skill and agi lity in running. Soon after twelve o'clock, that part of the Park which lies between the Barracks and Kensington Gardens *as completely tilled with speaators of every description. The distance to be run was 120 yards, for. oue hundred . guineas . a side ; but, independent of that, very considerable sums were betted on each of the' parties ; and Curling, in general, was considered the favourite. The time fixed for deciding the race was between twelve and tweio'clock. About a quarter before two Curling came on the - ground, and-prepared for, starting ; but the Boot Closer could not be found, and it was gene- . rally supposed that his friends had advised him rather to forfeit the deposit money, which was fore. guineas, than to risk a race with his opponent, who was decidedly the. favourite ; accordingly, Curling stripped, and ran over the distance with most astor 7 ishitig:speed by himself, and it was considered by his friends, that he was entitled .to the deposit,. How . eier, immediately after Curling had quitted the ground, the Boot . Closer made his appearance, and, by the advice of his friends, also prepared for ststttng; they considering that he was equally ens titled to run the distance, as the other had quitted the ground. Accordingly, a space was made be= t %.ceen the speaators; the distance ; one hundred and twenty yards,' and he also ran over the ground by himself. The friends of each party now withdrew to a house, and it was decided cetween them, that the deposit money should be drawn; and the wager rendered void. Much disapprobation was express ed by those who bad bets depending. The pick pockets were extremely busy. Most of the ugi lists of note were present ; and it is generally sup posed that the match was made by them, as they had laid more bets, play or, pay, than any of the other spe&ators. Old Mother SMITH, as the Sailors used to call her, the great expounder of fate, and dealer in goo , / for tune, died on Friday • last at Wapping. She had reached the 70th year of her age, and had'for a tong time _before she thus closed her mortal career, lived . 'very comfortably, by selling fair words to seamen, when they were going upon a voypge, and prediat ing their safe return to their sweethearts and wives. The French, it appears, have added NAPOLEON to the Catalogue of Saints. Surely the person thus de signated cannot be the man who; when •he was in Egypt, made it his boast to the inhabitants of that Country, that, as far as' depended on hipi, he,had overthrown Christianity ; and, as a proof of his con version to lifahvmetanian, added to his name` All, t nstead of alias? ! There was a trial in the Civil Court, at the Wick. low Assizes,lastweek, in which Lord ALnaoßoucut was- Plaintiff, and the Hon. Colonel WINGFIELD Defendant; it was to recover a property of near 30001. a-year, left the Colonel by the late Earl of ALDBOROPCM. The present Earl, wanted to set aside the Will, upon the grounds that the late Earl was insane, and-that the will. was neither signed or sealed when Avitnessed. The trial lasted -the whole day, when the Jury retired for about ten minutes,• and brought in a verdia for the Defendant. The LORD CHANCELLOR displayed a remarkable refinement of gratitUde on the subjed of Lord CHED WORTH'S Will, when he stated that his Secretary had accepted the office merely to confer an obligation on. his Lordship, as it can hardly he doubtea that there are thousands who would have been equally ready to confer the same favdur ot`i the Noble Lord, and; who would have. been so delicate in their notions as to suppose that they had received the obligation. It bias been erroneously said that the decision on. the trial of Mrs. Warrpoitn, on Saturday last,- at, Guildford,. puts an end to the Gretna Green Mar riages. That trial,, was for Bigamy, and the Judge of course Would not receive the Law of Scotland on this point from a Tobacconist, who performed the ceremony. if the fof.tner husband shOuld proceed against the second husband upon a charge of Cron. - Con. the point will then be finally decided.
