AVM the FRiArli 4;4 - 2)dTe7i P.l PZR PARIS, JULY the Ott tot Flag of Truce appeared, off the port of Calah. The principatObjeet of its mission was,. to renew the , bal assurances, that the fishing vessels Would meet with no obstruction if they 41 not pass the limitfi of two leagues from the English ,'CoaSt.: if it he the intention of the English Goverhtitent td leave the fishery free why not.notify it in an Official manner After what has already happened, little cdnfidence can be placed in such assurances. It is dot impro. babie that curiosity alone occasioned the visitsk this: Flag of.Truee to the Coast of France. . NAPLES, JULY the evening of the 29th of June the King visited 'the works before Gaeta: Arrived' at the spot where General VALLONGUES was killed, he decided that a monument - should be ere&ed there, to perpetuate the memory of a Gene' , rat of so much merit, and who had contributed so much to the 'advancement of the works, the direc tion of which was confided to him. Persons versed in the military art will be surprised to learn, that the last parallel was pushed to within 160 -yards of the tot:trees, and that the besieged made no. use of their irinriense artillery. " • r in this visit to the works the ,King asketitheGre!, nAiers Of the Fifth Reginient of the. Line; whether they fcitind themselv e s better off in the :trenches or in camp. .They one and all answered, 'Tin camp, if we6ad see and engage the Enemy therehere,, if an 'aisault.i_didered." Major Tki6MAS, of the loth of the Line, was at dinner' with kidr of his Officers: a-shell fell upan the woudded, the five guests, pierced through, the flour, and . kided the cool;. in the kitchen. The King arrived shortly after iti the house, and finding these wounded persons stretched on tnattresses, hoW they were ? This* vitas their answer.: " Our wounds are nothing; if your Majesty does not hasten the assault, but . *lll dlldvii s time to serve at it." They who know the disposition ihd senturienta of the'King can easily conceive, how did& he Must have been affected by such expressions, add partied= lariy when the soldiers, seeing him in places. nieSt 'exposed to the Enemy's Ere, cried out, " Vie ways find pleasure in seeing him, but this is not ltis place. As soldiers, we have occasion for Isis pie= settee ro encourage us ; but, as Frenchmen, we know that he has other duties." At day=break the King reviewed thp rest of the . Troops; which he had not seen in the trenches in the cotirse 01 the night. • His Majesty has taken - up his quarters at Ga, rigiiatto, where a great number of ',Troops are en camped. At Avasa he reviewed the Ist Regiment of Nea politariQbasseurs; who requested to go to the siege .of Gaeta; It is not- known whether the King will grant Meth this honour ; ,. which the Ist Regiment of Nea politan Light Infantry,- it is said, Ws obtained. Jushy - 6.,-;.An engagement which took place in the ROA of Ca tellone is vertcreditable to the Neap°- . litan Marine.. Atxm O t eleven C104.1C in the night of the 4th of June twenty (pup-boats, and ,six Bomb. - vessels, - quitted the Enetny's Squadron, 'and attacked the division of Gun-boats commanded by Captain ZATAAN. The Enemy's Vessels discharged a:great rstitober of shells and balls. The - Neapolitan Fiotilla returned a very brisk tire, and being at the same 'time supported by the Batteries on the Coast, at length silenced the Enemy, who appeared to retreat. Au hour after, the. Gun-beats, having been rein forced by those of ,the Ships, 'and tavoured by the obscurity of the night, approached the Flotilla, in' order, as it appeared, to board it i • but hoth Soldiers and Sailors were ready to give them a: warm recep— tion ; and a very spirited Engagement •scceeded, Within pistol-shot of each other, in which the Enemy received very considerable injury. When, they were beginning to give way, three discharges Of grape shot completed' their disorder, - and — they retreated with as much 'expedition as the bad condition of ' their vessels would allow. The Neapolitan flotilla, suffered no material in jury: it lost only one seaman, three were wounded, and Lieut. SAM soN was one of them. Of the French Troops that .were.on board,' a corporal was killed, and a quarter-master wounded: ' Capt. BAusAN evinced. his presence of mind and intrepid spirit, and both the sailors and Officers: Wl der his command exerted themselves in the discharge of their duty.' CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE 10.—The Russian En voy is continually receiving from Yassi extraordinary Couriers. There is great appearance of Russian Vessels in the passage of the Bosphorus: From all the intelligence we receive here, it. ap- - pears that Russia continues to depend upon main taining. an understanding with the Servians. She has sent emissaries among them; has. furnished them with arms, avows her relations with their Chiefs, and demands of the Ottoman Porte to accede to their prepositions, to declare them independent, and to sissimilate them with -Moldavia and Wallachia, which are become entirely Russian, and where the authority of the Sublime Porte is hardly known. • Thus it appears that Russia no longer keeps - ,any measures with the . Turks: 'after having subjugated Servia, she encourages the revolt of the Montene grins, prepares armatnents„and summonses her Allies to Corfu. It is even in the midst of Turkey that the enlists men to serve against the,Perte. She al loWs the Greeks to bear her flag, And makes it sub servient to the purposes of a contraband trade, in I order to supply her armies.—Moiieiti.

COURT OF CHANCERY, THURSDAY, JULY 24. COXE V. BURBELL. BOth the Plaintiff and Defendant were partners in the firm of Peter Coxe, Burrell, and Foster, Auc tioneers, in Throgmorton-street. This was an ap pliCation for an Injunction to restrain the De fendant from receiving the effe6ts of the Partner and for the appointment of a Receiver of those effeeti udder the authority of the Court. ,• tid • The trcrrait-GENERAL, on the part of the Plaintiff, Said, that a Partnership had been entered into bet Ween the three persons mentioned, which was to be determinable on a year's notice from any • of the parties : such notice had been given, and the Partnership, in consepence, expired in May last: Notwithstanding thiS circumstance, the Defendant hadalready received 10001. more than his share of the:partnership property ; and to prevent the effeeti‘ from being thus misapplied, the present applicaticin was made for the interference of his LOrdship.—The case of De Tastet and Bourdieu had settled every doubt on the subje6t ; and where partners could not. agree under such circ4mstances it it was a matter of course to appoint a Receiver. The LORD CHANCELLOR.—" IS that case reported any w here ?" Mr.ALFXANDER.—••" I donot know, myLord, but I believe not. I recoiled I moved on that occasion ; and the fad was', that one of the partners was, em ploying the effects of his partnership in a new trade, which was tarried oa exclusively for his 'own - be- . nefit." Mr. RtraELL, for the Defendant. , --" My Client denies that Leis indebted a single shilling ; and as serts, that he has only received his own capital, and the fair profits arising from it; yet I do not oppose this application, because I think the appointment of a Receiver, under the circumstances of the case, the best expedient for all parties concerned."—lnjunc tion granted. LORD CHEDWORTH's WILL. Mr. RICHARDS moved the 'LORD CHANCELLOR that his , Lordship would be pleased to -dire& an issue, for the purpose of having the cause tried: over again, on the subje& of the Will of the late Lord Chedworth, on the question of the Testator's Sanity at the time of executing, his Will, the former trial having taken place before Lord Eu.ststs °ROUGH and a'Special Jury, in Westminster-Hall; at the last Sittings there; when a verdiet was found for Mr. Wilson and another, who were the Plaintiffs, and' which was in favour of the Will. This Motion' was made on behalf •of the Heir, at Law of that Noble Lord, who resisted•the Will. The Loan CHANCELLOR observed, that, he had the honour of knowing the late LOrd hedworth as well as any of the Noble Lords who had been ex aminzd as Witnesses in the Cause in the Cuurt of Law. It would be indecorous in him, as he te a s sitting judicially in this case, to give testimony in it, but if he bad been examined as a Witness, his evidence would have been of an import similar to that of the other Noble Lords who had been ex amined. However his Lordship directed this Mo tion to stand over for a fortnight, to afford the party an opportunity of producing a fuller affidavit that) the present one in support of the application. The Plans and Models of the new intended Har bour at Brighton have been laid before the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty by Mr. DODD, the Engineer. ,It . tis fortunate for the Country having men to its naval department who pay so much attention to its nautical improvements.

Macclesfield at o'clocki on Monday night, and walked. to Kagworth, Lei- cestershire (5 t miles), in eleven hours ; he thenl took some refreshment, and drank a pint of beer, ,! which is, supposed to have disagreed with him ; afterH walking a, short distance, he, became very ill : 11e! still exerted himself,•.but.at length fe:l down unable . . to prosecute his journey thrther.. . \ CiND_CR STO 1121". . „ • . , t'esterdaY, aboiit two o'clpclii a ;I:l:tinder . i - orr.l poinmenced; Ntas much , More severe, anti centinned'rntich - kinger, than that 'which .happenezl a tew,.days ,ago.
