In answer to our worthy faced, 014,,Nick, 're undid!f ad.
emit, twat, though we belie, of jhe
were busy at Brentforil, we did not that ilia lnf 'nal
Majesty would waste hie time upon a %object of such minor
importance, considering dal vast extent of His Ntaieity's
miubns I'Ve really did suppose that His Infernal Maicit,
wat.ocets:.ial with tusking preparations fur the Conetatinn of
.lack Emperor of France, Citizen Bonaparte, the sooro
....et:: of Egare'llir. Ilawever, Lew that we have found
iiill fiend, Old Ni-k, and that he has fooad his old and
grateful fliciti, Tut BRITIsI4 Pease, we hype they v.ll 'ae
constant companions. liis presence cannot fail to enliven the
dell hours of totemic and parliamentary mations, in com-
pany with several other pleasant fellows, who have pr..nniej
their constant attendance in its columns.

Three Cottenburgh Mails arrived yest
following is the only article of insportAnct: wh•sh
they have brought:

CUTTINBLIGH, JUL V private iwt-rs
from Prtersburgh, received by the vv.l of Ilarn-
lapgh this morning, it appears, that a war betweta
the RusNians and Turks is determined upon, in Which
Cat! it is thought France will assist the latt
may lead to very impel-tam consequences. Tte
Emperor of IL.SSI • has set off for the Crimea, to
inspe4 the armaments going on there. The Rut.
sian Charge d'Affaires has left Paris." We even
that we do not see any reason to apprehend a war
between Ru.ssii and Turkey. They are much mere
likely to be closer friends than enemies lilt! ar-
maments which the Emperor cf Russia is gon:
inspedt in the Crinn:a are destined, not agai%st
Turkey, but for the Mediterranean. T c nide,
however, is of importance, as it announces Cm cl,-
parture of Mr. D'Ocnittc from Paris ; an t -nt
which the French Papers have carefully coma': .1.

Letters have been received from our fl.et of Brest.
of the 224 h nit. which state. that since the
tempt of Admiral GA>TaSAUMt, of the day 1.: .
fore, to escape with five ships of the line, two fri-
gates, and a corvette. every French ship continl:cd
qaiet in the outer road. There were, honzvet., t 3
the number of :22 men of war, "ready for sza, at
least to appearance; though, from G A "'VIC ‘t: 4
endeavours to sail with su few ships ,•nly, it is sz;•-
poseJ, by one cruisers, that the remainder ar: f.tr
from having their ciimplement of sailors. An Arn--
rican ship from Rochelle has been spoken with, 1:-.e
Master of which as.erts., that the squadron under
Admiral VILLENEUVE, which has so long been at
anchor by Isle d'Aix, eapetted to be joined by Ad-
miral GANTIII4IPME, with the ships under
command; and that they alltogether intenielto sail td
the coast of Spain, defeat our blockading sqtradron
there. and, with the French shi psat Ferrol a n Corunna,
proceed to the Mediterranean, attac! Lord Nets-2r:,
and try to make therns.lves masters of that sea .!-J
of the navigation in the Archipelago. This 2!.1:t-•
tion is generally believed by our Adasiraltr.,
because it is not only probable, but praeticable
should the enemy, be seconded by weather and
wind, and other favourable circumstances. It is,
besides, to be remembered, that the destruflion if
the Turkish empire a.:d the conquest of Egypt re
Dom AAAAA favourite ohjzas ; and as be is, pet-
haps, convinced of the necessity to adjourn for
sortie time the conquest of the Pried; islands,
he thinks it more easy by stza:th and by fzis
to be viCtorious in the Mediterranean, that ;71
the Atlantic, or in the Channel. Should he
remain for some time longer upon the el:fen-
sire, in the Mediterranean, the United Ru,si.in
and Englida forces will probably soon be more LEI 2
sufficient to defeat all his plans of invasion in the
East. But at present a viflory over our fleet wouLl
be followed by the conquest of the Russian nary.
near Corfu, of the Seven Islands, of Egypt, ahi
perhaps of Constantinople. At least it would re-
qiire some time before we should be able to put s
stop to the enters rues of the revolutionary Eurt--
113 n in that part of the world. Let us also retr
that all preparations and threats of the Fe!
Government, and of BONAP•ItTS, in 1798. '
rule this countirrended in the conquest of Mll'l
.ind Egypt. It is true, he had sot at the t•—•
either 190,000 men opposite our shores, nor I.!
armed vessels and transports at Boulogne. 11 r
have, therefore, in trying to counteras his &sty"t
schemes to n:in us, not to forget that the comp,
of the world may, and can only be made in England.
