THIS morning we received a - Leyden Journal of the 15th inst. from, which we' have made several extracts :--The intelligence from Paris contained in this Paper, comes down to the 9th inst. It appears, that the report which.was circulated respe&ing the manner in which Lord LAUDERDALE was ,received in Paris, was wholly destitute of foundation.— Instead of being kept waiting four or five days for an interview WitIITALLETRAND, he saw him themorn ing after his arrival in. Paris; It is said, .however, that his Lordship was not intrOduced to BorrA 7 PARTE, as such a presentation cduld not take place, according to 'etiquette, until the signature of a Treaty.—The French 'Papers continue to throw out inve&ives against the Cabinet olVienpa. Count STADION, in particular, appears extremely obnoxi otis to the French Government, and the EMPEROR of GERMANY is called upon, in the molt peremp tory manner, to dismiss him from his Service. In. deed BONAPARTE seems now determined that no Continental Sovereign shall venture to retain any Minister without his permission. The Por tuguese . Ministry were changed in compliance with orders from Prance : the KING .of PRUS SIA was ordered to dismiss Count HARDEN BERG ; and now the EMPEROR Of GERMANT is for bidden to employ a Minister upon whose ability and fidelity he places the greatest confideuce. - A Gottenburgh Mail arrived this morning, by which we have received the following : GOTTEN,BURGEI, AUG. 'Lt.—Yesterday arrived an English Armed Brig, having.on board a Russian Messenger, with dispatches for St. Petersburgh, with which he set off immediately. " By the last accounts from; St. Petersburgh we learn, that the Russian Minister is about to leave the i',.;te." YESTE4DAY morningthe Transports which sailed from the Downs under convoy of the Explosion, Fury, and Devastation Bombs, arrived at Ports mouth. They were joined by ,twelve Sail more, and immediately proceeded to sea under con voy of the Captain and Ganges, ot 74 guns, and the Kingfrisher Sloop of War. OUR Lek!'" from Dover this morning states, that Lord LkUDERDALE . had demanded his. Passports, and Lad naually set out on his return - home; and that TAU-RI-RAND dispatched a IVleSsenger after him re questing him to return to Paris. This statement, we have reason to believe, is unfounded. Yesterday morrOul,, -, .HIS MAJESTY, .the DUKE Of . , CAMBRIIDGE, PRINCESSES AUGUSTA and SoptitAi 'Earl DARTMOUTH, Lard WALSINGHAM, and Lady THYNNE, Generals CARTWRIGFIT and' FITZROY, and Coterie' TAYLOR, rode fon horseback in Windsor Great Park, and returned at twelve o'clock. HER MAJESTY and PRINCESS ELIZABETH took 4tn airing in the Great Park and Froginote. Earl DARTMOUTH arrived at Windsor on Monday night, on a visit to their MAJESTIES.. Mr. Fox'S medical, attendants now pronounce him well enough to venture info the country, as change of air will be very likely to confirm the good effects which have resulted from the operation he under went. It is intended that he shall stay a few days at St Ann's Hill till he has recovered more strength, and then resort to the invigorating breezes of the, sea-side. ' Brighton . is mentioned as the place to which be will proceed; but it is more probable that a situation will be selected less exposed to f.shion ble hurry, bustle, and tumult. • The following -Gentlemen - are, appointed Commis sioners under the new ACS for examining the enor mous Ariears of West India Accounts, viz.

Mr HALKET is Governor of Tobago, Mr. HARMAN a Member of his Majeey's Council of An tigua, arid Mr ' SAUMitit EZ is ^ brother of the gallant Admiral. We understand the two latter are to pro ma to the West Indies, and the other three are to be engaged iu ctearing away the cumbrous,lgad of unexamined 4C . C0U11t.6 in this Country.' FROM THE DUTCH PA PE aS..c' PAR AUG. 9.---The Negotiations commenced by Lord Y.liumotrru in this Capital have been con tinued with activity since the arrival, of Lord LAU DERDALE in the • capacity of' a - Negotiator. His Lordship, the day after his arrival on'ihe 6th of this Month, had a long conference with the Minister for Foreign Affairs. Our Journals state, that Lord LAUDERDALV, was presented to the Emperor, .at St., Cloud, on the 6th, but we have received the most positive information that this is incorrect ; because, conformably to etiquette, that presentation cannot take place till after the conclusion of a Treaty of Peace. As the success-of the important Mission of this Negotiator must depend More or less upon his personal sentiments and connexions, Politicians have taken great pains to obtain information upon the subje&. ,[Then follows some account of Lord LA unzioALE and the Secretaries who accompanied him, which, however, is not very correCt.l VIENNA, JULY =1..--Our Court has appointed M, D'UTz Ambassador to the Court of Spain,. It is said, that' if the Instruaions , of that Ambassador were printed, tfiey would she‘v the folly and per. fidy of those by whom they were drawn up. It is added, thA the Emperor of Germany having received some information upon the subje6t, was indignant ,at the part which he had been made to play, and wish ed to call the authors to an account. If this be true, M. STADION is extremely unskilful, and betrays both his Master and his Country. Every body is dissatis fied with the absurd and crooked poltcy of our Cabi net. The EMperor, alone, will not see it. How can the Emperor keep such a man in • his Ad ministration, who has been so completely unmasked by the publication' of the English Correspondence, and who • played the principal chara6ler in the third Coalition, and who still appears attached to the same system ? All these perfidies will ultimately turn against the authors. Is it not then time for the Court of Vienna to proceed in a frank, and open manner ? What can it hope for now , NAPLES, JULY 2 4 .—The official account of' the siege and surrender of Gaeta has not yet been pub lished, but it will shortly appear. The Govern ment Gazette, however, has published the fel, lowing observations upon. the subje6l:—The Ca, palliation took place on the' 18th ; the prin, cipal breach was formed in the citadel, as far as the foot of the Counterscarp ; it was large enough for 16 men to enter abreast. The French columns were ready to mount the breach ; the Grenadiers, . who composed the first column, waited impatiently, for the signal to-begin . the assault. Marshal MAsstN:4 then summoned the place for the last time to stir- render. The. besieged requested a. short delay_ to, obtain permission from their. Commandant the Prince of HESSE PHILLIPSTHAL, who had been wounded ; but they were answered, that within an . hour the French would be in the place by force of • arms. The sight of the columns ready to move; the breach open and easy to mount, two other small breaches through which it was not very difficult to penetrate, and the fear of being treated with all the severity of the lav4!s, of, war, induced the garrison to capitulate. LEGHORN, Jut.y 24 : ,-- 7; Yesterday. a Small vessel, fitted out by the. English at Malta as a Privateer, ran agroUnd near our Port. The crew got on shore. .:A part of the garrison went out after them. Fifteen or sixteen sailors, with an Officer and a woman, hid themselves in the woods. 'A detachment of Cavalry was sent after them,: and five were taken. It is not known what steps Government will take upon this occasion. ; the. Ship; as corning from Malta, ought to be subje& to quarantine.

Pn.LER, one of His MajestY's Messengers, who arrived at Deal last even- ' ing from France, is said to have stated that Lord, 'LAUDERDALE had got all his bagga'Ze packed up,- and was on the road to Boulogne, proceeding on his way to England, when the French Minister, TAL LEYRAND, sent a Special Messenger after his Lord ship to desire him to return back to Paris.

Being perfectly aware that they might taltd and destroy every Ship there, I took upon -myself the responsibility (without 'or- ders from my Commander in Chief) to get under '• way as quick as possible with the Convoy, and make the best of my way- for England, steering such course as 1 thollght mast likely to avoid the Enemy :' - Should they follow me,• to the Northward ; and I •. now sincerely hope to congratulate you on their 1 safe arrival, after a passak, of six. weeks. I parted • company with - the Ships bound up St. George's Channel on the gth, and seat his Majesty's Ship Dotphiv_(which was under my orders) with. them,. so that by this time they must have arrived. • " I am, Sm. " K-MACKENZIE." ‘r The Gentlemen at Lloyds" , We give the following article as a specimen of the ingenuity with which the Masters of American Ves sels manufaaure their stories to suit the taste of those they fall in with on their voyage : Coax, AUG. 13.-" A,Cove Pilot-boat boarded aft American Vessel yesterday, off Cape Clear, the Mas ter of which informed him that he had passed through 34 Sail of the Windward Islands homeward-bound Fleet, under convoy 'of a Frigate. Those Ships were part of i.5:).0 Sail, which staled from the Windward Islands to rendezvous at Tortola. On their , way down they were chased by four French Line-of- Battle Ships, and were obliged to take refuge:under Brimstone-hill, in the Island of St. Kites. While in this situation, four British Line-of-Battle Ships bore down - and engaged the French Squadron, and as the Merchant Vessels had been fired at by the Enemy, and a'probability eiisted of their being in-' jured, a signal. had been made for them to disperse for their protection, and a frigate was dispatched to collea them when out of the Enemys reach. Such. is the statement we have received of a circum stance which, if correel, is of considerable im portance.. _ . " Of the result of the action we are not informed, but we anticipate vi&ory to . our squadron. Some of the Ships which the American Captain spoke were observed off Cape Clear yesterday. We shall with anxiety expe& something more explicit upoa this subje&." The Ship Mary, of Boston, 'MEN TRESCOFF mas ter, sailed from Canton on the gth, of February; on. thr 18th of March, _at two P.M. in lat. 15. 30. south, lti r ng. 98. 30. east, a violent and sudden squall came on, with which the Ship upset; they cut away the mast, by which means she partly righted, but filled in such a.manner, - that for seventeen days the crew, twenty-six -in number, subsisted on - two gallons of water. On the 18th day the, weather moderated, and the sea being smooth, they cut' a hole in the upper part of the main-deck, by which they pro. cured some provisions that floated. After which they built a raft on the weather quarter, and re. mined fifty days in that dreL-clful situation, when they were picked up by a Ship bound from - Batavia to Philadelphia. At the time they were picked up they supposed one third of the cat go to be .washed out. . Lieutenant TANCQCK is promoted to the rank of Commander, and appointed to the St. Christopktr, a new Sloop of War in the West Indies. A seaman of the name of Wilson has been ap prehended at Plymouth, under suspicion of being concerned in the mutiny and murder of the Officers on bOarillheliermione Frigate, in the West Indies, last war. He is detained on •board the Guard-ship at that Port, until the measures necessary to identify him are completed. _ . A disturbance of. a serious nature has recentl7 taken • place on board the Rochester Prison-ship at ctutharn; between the French 'Prisoners arid some Prussian seamy vec The Bristol, fitted as a Prison. ship, has been, in consequence, put into] commis sion, and the Prussian seamen been removed, as the' only means of putting an end to. the disturbgnces. The following is a Copy of an Address published at trinirtad by General MIRANDA " NIY FRIENDS AND COUNTRYMEN, " The,glorious opportunity now presents itself of relieving from oppresston, and arbitrary Government a people who are worthy of a better fate ; who ought to enjoy the blessings of the finest Country in the Universe, which -bountiful Providence has given them—but who are shaCkled by a despotism too cruel for human nature longer to endure.---.- Groaning, under their present affliCtions, they hail with extended arms the noble csuse of Freedom and Independence, and call upon you to share with, them in the God-like action of relieving your distressed Fellow-creatures.—Hasten then to join the Standard' of ONE who has the happiness to, call himself your countryman, and is determined to rescue his Country, and to shed the last drop of his blood in promoting its happiness ; an objet} of Which he has never lost sight for a moment of his life. There will be made a liberal distribution of land at the expiration of a twelvemonth, according to‘rank ; and Privates, from the instant of their enrolment, will be entitled to provisions and cloth ing, with a quarter dollar per day of pay, not sub-. jca to any deduaions.—And you, brave Volun teers of the Islands, who have nobly come forward to partake with Ifs . our honours, and to share with us our prosperity—hasten ,to follow those Otfi .cers under' whose care you have already been traioed, and who are impatient to lead you on to viaory and wealth. The Gulph that Comot- Bus first discovered and honoured with his pre sence, will now witness the illustrious at - tions of your gallant efforts.". The metropolis was visited this morning, about nine o'clock, by another violent storm, though not of so terrific a description as those which have re cently occurred. The flashes of lightning were fre quent and vivid, and the thunder was heard in awe ful peals. ' The rain fell in torrents; but the whole of this elemental disorder lasted only a short period; it excited much terror, but we du not hear that it occasioned any mischief. During one of the late thunder storms, there fell upon some meadows, near Monasterevan, in the county of Kildare, a shower of shells, which covered the fields and even the public roads to a great extent. We have seen some of these shells, collealed imme diately after they had fallen, by a Gentleman of un 'questionable veracity, in whose possession they still are—they are all of the same shape and appearance, in form spirala, about half an inch long, and at the mouth about one eighth of an inch in diameter ; the shells are thin and brittle, and what appears most extraordinary, contain living animals of the snail kind. We give these fats as they are, leaving it . to others to attempt accounting for so extraordinary a circutristance !—(Dublin Journal) A singUlar oincidenCe of names appears in a mar riage which wa, lately solemnized in a town in Sh op shire, between Mr. Frost and Ain Snow,—Hail weddOd love
