Ott the 10th of this month, a Hag of truce ap.
pelted AP the port of Calais. The ptincipal objeCt
of its mission was, to renew the verbal assurances,
that the fishing vessels would meet with no obstruc-
tino, if they did not pass the limits of two leagues
from the English coast. If it be the intention of
the English Government to leave the fishery free,
why act notify it in an cfficial manner ? After what
ass already happened, little confidence can be plaited
is such a.surances. It is not improbable that curi-
osity alone occasioned the visit of this flag of truce
to the coast of France.

His Imperial Majesty, for ire English prisoners,

It is litavtim said, that Dr. Jenner, so celebrated
for the discovery of the cow-pox, addressed himself
directly to the Emperor, to obtain the liberty of Dr.
Winiharn and Mt. Williams both of whom are his
friends, and piasters at Verdun. The request of
Dr. Jcnner was a long time in reaching its destina-
tion ; but when it was rabmitted to His Majesty.
an order was issue., for their liberation. These
two Englishmen a,ll set out in a few Jays for
Morlais, where they will embark. Lastly, we are

informeJ, that another English prisoner, the

son of a skil:til astronomer, And himself intirely
ievoted to the study of the sciences, has just
obtained lihtrty to return to his country. It is
added, that several Members of the Institute
strongly itmereved themselves in favour of this
young E• eishman, and that their solicitations were
mot quite onavaili•ig. These faits, which afford IN
proofs in favour of a general peace, may, perhaps,
serve to chew with vrt.it spirit the negotiations have

been commenced.

Thus it appears that Russia no longer keeps any

Servia, she encourages the sevolt of the Montene-
grins, prepares armaments, and summons her allies
to Corfu. It is even in the midst of Turkey that
.he enlists men to serve against the Porte. She Al-
lows the Greeks to bear her flag. and makes it sub-
servient to the purposes of a contraband trade, in
order to supply her armies.—(3limilear.)
aAr ISSON. JULY S.
It is reported that M. Otto, Minister of France,
will soot make a journey to Paris; a presumption
which is, perhaps, founded only on the departure of
Madame Otto, who has proceeded with all possible
speed to the capital of the French empire, to attend
on one of her brothers, who is dangerously ill ; but,
as the public mind is engaged with peace with
England, and M. Otto was Ambassador at Landon
during the Negotiation which led to the Treaty of
Amiens, it may easily be imagined what causes are
assigned for his journey. It is, however, uncertain
whether his departure has ever been thought of.
A list of reforms proposed as the basis of the Con-
corde between the Holy See and Germany, is
handed about here ; we are silent on this important
subjeet; tbecause proposals are very different from
lefinitive articles, and reports are frequently no-
- of people who are not'

consulted.
Though the Diet has decreed that its long vaca-
tion shall continue till the month of 03ober, it has
been agreed, that if, in that interval, any important
Message on the part of foreign powers, or of a
member of the Germanic Body, should be addressed
to the Diet. the Ministers at Ratisbon should as-
semble, and take cognizance of the fad, with the
usual forms. This precaution induces a still
stronger belief. that some proposal of great mo-
ment will be submitted to the Diet. ConjeSutes
on this head are carried to a great length. It is
said. that the fate of the city of Frankfort is to be
decided. that it is to be given to the Elector A reh-
Chancellor, and thus to become the future seat of
the Met.

AAAAA TORT, JULY 9.
For some months past the great cloth manufac-
tures established in Saxony, in the Prussian states,
and in Bohemia, have resumed the atlivity which
they had lost ever since the period when the pro.
dotlions of English manufaltures gave such a fatal
stroke to the manufaCtures of Lower Germany.—
The cloths of the latter are not so fine as those of
England. but, on this account, they are in the great-
er request in Switzerland, Upper Germany, Hun-
gary, and the Levant. The Bohemian and Prus-
sian mansfaCturers have, within these sir months,
received many orders for blue and green cloths.
The cassimeres of Saxony are fast improving, and
begin to rival those of England. A circumstance
favourable to the Saxon manufactures is the dimi-
nution in the price of wool. That of the best qua-
lity, sold last year for 33 rix-dollars, new fetches
no more than 40. This extraordinary fall is as-
cribed to the absence of foreign *volts, who came
every year to buy up this primary material.

At an early hour this morning, the King and I
Queen of Holland set nut from their Palace in the
Wood for the waters of Wished, followed by a part
of their Court. The King, before he set out ova
bis journey, which the necessary care of his he.olth
made him tinfertake, ordered an important move-
ment among tl•e French troops in this kingdom.
They are going, for the greater pare. to quit the
whole Dutch territory, on which only two regiments
of infantry will remain stationed. [Here follows the

LONDON,
SATURDAY, JOLT 26.

Last night we received, sr gleans, Paris Papers
to the Oath, and I)utch to the i'.3l instant. The
latter confirm the account which we lately gave
from our 13, iaratt. Correspondence, of the bad health
of the new King of Hot. c arm. At all the fees and
balls given in honour of his accession to the Thr one,
he was obliged to retire at an early hour, leaving
1 is august consort behind ; and on the 19th instant
they both set out from their House in the Wood at the
Hague, for the waters of Wisbasl, in Wetteravia. It is
openly avowed in the Dutch Papers, that ill health is
the cause of this journey. —The Royal Pair travel
hietende through their dominions. Few Sovereigns
in Europe could do so with less diffi:ulty—the
parties are very little known in Holland. A letter
from Raticbon, in the Paris Papers, states, that the
report of the departure of M. OT ro for Paris, or.
ginated in the jourrey of Madame Otto for that
city, to which she was called by the illness of
a near relative. We stated, as a reason for
crediting the report, that M. Otto having
been the French Minister at London, doting the
n.gociation, which lei to the Treaty of Amiens,
his presence in Paris may be desirable at this
particular moment. The French Editor appears
to entertain the same opinion, while be endTa-
yours to conceal it.—M. eat c has had several
conference. at Paris; hut, with respeekto F.ngland
and France, the Paris Papers &alma, that the fa&

whic`i hive come to the,r knowledge; afford no
proofs in favour of a general peace. and only 'hew.
that the negociation has commenced in a spirit of
benevolence.—lt is also to be observed. that the
French funds have fallen. The five per cents. were,
on the Ital. at hi fr. They had been above 66.
The 15th of August is mentioned on some of the
papers. as the probable commencement rf the
grand military fctt.val ; others state, that it will not
take place until September. Previous to the
departaie of King Loris from the !fagot.. he isned
an order for the return of all the French troops in
Holland to France. Preparations have been mho
making for the reran of the French army
ia Germany. We ih-old not be surprised, if
the delay of the grand fit shall have wrigioated
in an 'lineation. no the part of Naeor eon, of
being able to ad! to its eclat, by asmosecing a
peace with England or R..tst,a.

M a of the t►oops. both !Jr Sid? and fn► the
ret►s'te se►e'ce. are nql.m shipheard. The t.2/1
ktertesus was emba:sel ow Theriday is tle

boirits, as was pin of the Staff Corps, two com-
panies of Artillery, and five companies of the 95th
Regiment, or Rifle Corps. The embarkation tf
the brigade of Guards commenced on 1'1,11711.qt,
and would be finished yesterday morning, at Mat.
gate. A detachment of the Staff Corps, and Cap.
twin Decaso.'s company of Artillery, were on
Monday embarked at Portsmouth. On Tueslay
and Wednesday,. Lieutenant-General Sir Jouc

Du v LE'S Regiment, the 87th, or Prince of WA tss's
Royal Irish Heroes, Were embarked. There is not
a finer body of men in the service than this Regi.
ment : it is commanded by Sir EDWARD BUTLER.
One thousand of these fine fellows embarked in
high spirits. On Tuesday, three companies of the
Rifle Corps were embarked at Portsmouth, and Ice
the same service (supposed to be the remote one),
on Thursday, and yesterday morning, the 45th Regt.
commanded by Major Nicra oi.xs. This completes
the embarkation. A large Medical Staff accom:
panics the Portsmouth Expedition. TrTUS Beaks.,
Esq. brother of Sir EDWARD BURY, is the Staff
Surgeon of this Expedition. As soon as some
viaualling transports shall have arrived, this Expe-
dition is ordered to sail. Three line of battle ships,
and two frigates, are in readiness to sail; it is sup-
posed to accompany them.

His Royal Highness the Cosssaarna-m-Cottr
goes down immediately to Portsmouth. and is him-
self to go on board. and inspect the troops before
they sail. Admirals Mowracot and Maitite are
making preparations for the Duke of Yoat at
Portsmouth.

Thursday morning, the rafts were all prepared
for the embarkation of troops at Ramsgate ; and
the troops were erpeiled in town yesterday. Ooe
of the transports had come into that harbour, with
some of the Royal Staff Corps on board, and all the
Officers belonging to the Staff are now in Ramsgate.
The lst Brigade of Guards, from Chatham, has,
in consequence of the transports being arrived,
begun its march for Ramsgate in four divisions—
the first yesterday morning, the other divisions follow
on the succeeding days, and the whole will be em-
barked, as they arrive at Ramsgate, this day, to-
morrow, Monday, and Tuesday. The Brigade
of Guards march from Deal, for Chathain. in four
divisions, on Tuesday nett, and three following
days. By this movement the barracks at Deal ate
left open for the halt of the 62d regiment, from
Shornclaffe, and 594 (Ist battalion), from Braboren
Lees, which will, by that time, probably be on their
march for embarkation. The 2d Battalion of the
5‘2 Regiment, removed yesterday from Maidstone
to Reading Street Barracks, on account of the ap-
proaching Assizes.
Our Dover leuer of Wednesday stated, that the
orders for the transports to proceed to Lasagne
had been countermanded. The fa 6 is, that the
large transports were too large to go into the har-
bour, and, therefore, were dire&ed not to enter it.—
The Guards are certainly going to Sicily. The
troops that embark at Portsmouth are going first to
the Cape. What their ulterior destination is we
have not heard.

Yesterday, at twelve o'clock, se►eral Gentlemen
from the city attended, by appointment, at Lord
Gitawvitces Office at the Treasury, where they
were met by his Lordship and Lord licrtar
Parry, to bid for the first of the three Lot-
teries for 1806. They stated to their Lordship'
that the price they were enabled to offer, wall
be extremely low, on account of the heavy
leases they had sustained by the purchase of the
last Lottery. They, therefooe, proposed to bid for
i the three Lotteries together, as they would then be

able to give a higher ptice.
Lord GRISVII LI was not prepared to rive a APci•
silt answer to ;his propositier.. and therefore took
until Monday neat to consider ; on which day, at
twelve o'clock. the gentlemen are appointed to at-
tend again.
