The Oninient fell ye .terd ly to 0:, but lift off :a

l '1 he 3 per Cent. Curio's. were, in the course
of the day, down to Eta, but closed at 631.-
I'his depression was partly occasioned by the anxiety
of speculators, who, having made large purchases,
are now selling nut, with a view to realize a profit.
even though the negotiation should lead to a favonr-
ibis result, doubts and difficulties will probably arise
in its progress, the necessary ellltti of which roust
be the depression of the funds below their pres:nt
standard. The dashing adventurer may go on ; but
Roan who plays a sure game, may think the pre-
s,nt critical moment a good opportunity to sell out.
It begins also to be generally feared, that but iitt!e
hope can be entertained of Mr. Fox's recovery, and
from the character of the man, And his weight in the
negotiation, his death would be universally consi.
shred an event unfavourable to peace. Some of the
papen'have stated, that Doctor Lex oott E, a Gentle-
man emitient forhis treatment of dropsical complaints,
had been called in by the attending Physicians to
visit him. Those who know the etilthare of
the faculty, would conclude from this statement,
if founded in fart, that it was a case of extreme
danger. It has, we believe, made that impression
upon the public mind ; but we have the authority
of Doctor Istxm tom: to state, distinaly, that he
never ha; attended Mr. Fox. Ha may have

been consulted upon his case, no doubt, but
!fe has not visited him To those whose opinion
may have been influe,-red by the false report,
this coßtradiElion of it may be of use ; but to uq,
who state upon (afferent pounds, it is of no
importance. We stated, in a former paper, that
no hopes are entertained of Mr. Fox's recovery,
and we regret that we have no good cause to re-
,rat./ our words.

The transports that sailed from the Downs with
tro,.p. had rot arrived at St. Helen% on 'Tuesday.
The Gen-wee, Caphon, and Ki.l4o,er sloop, lyi vg
at St Helen's, were ordered to get under weigh
the moment the transports from the Downs ap-
peared in sight. They are not to be permitted
.o cast anchor, but are to proceed strait to Ply-
mouth.

A letter from the Superb, Captain KEATS, com-
manding off Belleisle, dated the tath last, states,
that the three vessels which she fell in with, were
of the line, and not frigates but. that she had lost
sight of them. The letter says, 'I it was only a tires
eye view, which we had of them. It was twenty
leagues west of Belleisle."

The Lori !Mart packet, from New York and
Halifax, is arrived at Faltnouth. She sailed on
the 4th, and horn Halifax on the It of July.—
The letters will be delivered this day .

The Aldndaire store-ship, arrived off Dover,
sailed from Jamaica on the 21st of June, and ex-
peCted to overtake the fleet, but SAW nothing of
them. _ _ _

The Hopr, from Oporto, fur Dublin, is
lost on the toast of Ireland.
L'llartnenie, of Liverpool, is condemned at De-
merara.
Extra& of a letter from an Officer nn board the
Prepsta, dated Plymouth Sound, 90th July :
fa We are just come in with dispatches from Ad-
miral ST tat. iao's fleet, consisting of the Glory, 98,
Si. 6;e407f, 98, Sermcdr, 74, Dr ,goh, 74, Kent, 74,
Mar*, 74, efirbrt, 61, Nrobr, 4s, Surinam sloop, 18.
The squadron has been in a general chase after 4
French frigates, and when we came away, about
S in the evening, two of our ships were within three
miles of them. Shortly after we parted, we heard
the firing of guns. We will sail again in about a
week to j tin the squadron, as we raped to meet
JLBOHE BONA AAAAA 's squadron on its way borne,
about the middle of nest month."

A British Officer, recently returnri from India,
gives the following explanation of the affair at
Gobud

4, It hawse been stipulated in the treaty that
Fort Goliud was to be given up to Set Nat a, and the
knowledge of this circumstance having publicly
transpired, an taterpriting partisan with a strong
force surprised the place, and taking possession of
it, refused to deliver it into the hands of SCI NDI A,
u..der the pretence of holding it for his legitimate
Sovereign the Rhana of Gohud. Major Bowie
WAS in consequence ordered to compel him to sur-
render the place to SCINDI A'S troops. He pro.
seeded against it with one battalion of the 2.11 th
Regiment, a d part of the 421•:. Major Bowie
was lying before the fort, previous to the sailing
of the last fleet, and hopes were entertained that this
adventurer would speeitily give up the place. This
expellation was, however, disappointed. Captain
M•cvitas, as we before stated, and two other
OfActra. fell in the attack, which it was found ne-
ce.sary to make upon the redoubt ; several privates
were killed, and many more wounded. s apt. .vl.
was much regretted as a brave and expetienced
Officer."
The.next advises from India are expelled to bri
an account of the redulli tit of Goatid, although,
from the known charaller of the lea..w who has is
ttudrd himself into the place, a determined resist
