LONDON,
MONDAY. Auousr !S.

Mr. Lists, the Messenger, art ived, on Saturday
morning, at the Foreign Office, with dispatches
from the Earl of Lavocetta se at Paris Mr.
Couavotstea, another Messenger. also arrived in
the course of Saturday morning, with dispatches
from Mr. ADA ta, our Minister at Vienna. Both
dispatches were taken into consideration by a Cabi-
net Council, which met at the Foreign Office.—
The Council was attended by Earl Seances, the
Earl of Mot RA, Viscount Howuca, Lords EMI Has
GRENVILLE, and H. Perm and Mr. WIND-
MAM. Immediately after the Council broke up,
Mr. Straw, the Messenger, was ordered to hold
himself in readiness to set out for France, and he
left town at six o'clock with dispatches for the Earl
of LAU Drub aLs at Paris. We believe the nature
of Mr. Lts:s's dispatches has not transpired; but
his arrival proved, that the Earl of Lae Desert:a
had still remained in Paris a full week after it was
reported here that the negotiation was broken off,
and that his Lordship might be daily expelled from
that city. This was in itself sufficiesat to make a
favourable impression upon the Fends. The Om-
arum rose from 6to 7f ; and the Consols from 61i
to 621. It may be farther observed, that this
rise was produced in the face of a report that
the Earl of LAUDIRDA La had demanded his pass-
ports, but that the French Government, in order
to gain time, had made an excuse for delaying to
grant then.—Lord YARMOUTH arrived in town
from Paris, at twelve o'clock, on Saturday night.
He landed at Deal, at three o'clock, from the
Clyde frigate, which carried hint from Boulogne.
His Lordship spent a considerable part of yesterday
with the Duke of Qurasseett ay.—He had not
left his Grace at six o'clock last evening, and as
no Council was held in the coutse of the day,
ai.d it was not ascertained that his Lordship had
been at the Foreign Office, it is generally sup-
posed, that he did not bring any dispatches from the
Earl of Ia u aaaaa se. We remember, however,
that when Lord YARMOUTH lilt returned to Paris,
his friends took extraordinary pains to have it be-
lieved, that his journey was totally unconneted with
public business. The Official Gazette of the French
Government has, however, since positively averred,
that the Negotiation was commenced by his Lord.,
ship; and we have since had good reason to believe
that his Lordship did carry back dispatches to Paris.
.Admitting, however, that upon the present occa-
sion he has come upon private business, yet we
think it very likely, it his Lordship left Paris after
Mr. Luse, that the Earl of LAS:DUDA CR did avail
himself of the opportunity to send a letter to his
Government.
Two Hamburgh Mails have arrived since our
last, with letters and papers to the 16th instant.
