lately ceded Russia to France, and all the other
states in t; e Mediterranean and Adriatic, in posses-
sion or her Allies. The expedition fitting out
under the command of Sir SIDNEY SMITH, is now
understood to be destined for the Mediteiranean, or
the Tagus.. The miltary force will consist of about
5400 men, seleiled from the tr.; pi rc:ently arrived
from Copenhagen. The naval hoer will be more
considerable than was at first itnig:reJ Besides the

was thus saved from deans /lion. In another ay-

tick from the same place we also find a circum-
stantial account of the failure of ao attempt, by a
B ' h squadron, to get possession of a Danish
ship of the rue, which bad taken aficityr is the
port of Chtistiaosand. This is attributed to the
ratiagt tesistauce made by some suo•bats, which not

only repulsed our suzdron, but pursued h to a consi-
derable distance. The Danish Commander does not
appear. llnvivver, to have 11.. en quite confident as to
she security of his position; for taking advantage of
the eight, and his knowledge of the coast, he aban-
doned Christiensand, and arrived in safety at Fre-
dericksvarn. a port some leagues to the eastward of
the former.

Duke DE Bouanort, and 1 other branches of
the Royal Family, who reached Yarmouth on
Sunday afternoon. the populace cheered him on
his landing. The whole of the family were to leave
that place, Monday afternoon, for Gossfield-house,

which the noble owner has offered for the residence
and accommodation of this Illustrious Visitor and

Although there is little reason to wet a deci-
sive rupture with Russia, yet the commercial rela-
tions between that country and this, are in such a
state, as must be productive of much embarrass..
ment and inconvenience. It will not absolutely
destroy the mercantile intercom se, but it will weaken
its spring, and impair its energy. We have been
favoured with the perusal of letters from St.
Petersburgh, of the 6th uk. which disclose a very

Gowen had direft.2d Sir Si-trims SHAIDP to ac-

his, Count Rom arizoFr had informed him, •• that
he must decline, I talli.tr lbe exitlang ciAusistfitaltes, to
enter into any negotiation for a tsnewal of the Treaty
of Commerce with Great Britain." Whether this
determination be the result of a compaa with
France, or the offspring of that commercial jea-
lousy and suspicion which Russia seems of late to
have most unaccountably conceived, we have no
means of deciding. It is not itoprobal.le that both
might hays been concerned in producing it.

GRAND JUNCTION CANS
Yesterday, the Proprietors of the Grand
Canal Company, held their half yearly
at the Crown and Anchor Tavern. Mr.
called to the chair about 12 o'clock, and
ness commenced by Mr. Harvey's reading a short
and satisfactory report of the present state of the
Company's concerns, and the proceedings of the
Committee, since the last me•ting.
It appeared that the tonnage has considerably is
creased within the last six months; and this increase
has been found to arise principally upon articles of
home cornsuruption, and from a reduction of tt.e
rates of tannage upon particular articles. We
learnt with pleasure, that the differences lately ex-
isting between the contractors for the Wocilvertoa
Embankment, &c. are likely to be settled betote
the next meeting.
The state of the Sinking Fund gave universal
satisfaftion. It has been increased considerably
since the last meeting.
It appeared, that in July last, the Committee
carefully inspefted the whole of the Hoe, and ex-
pressed their satisfaaion with the state of Lie works
in general.
A further dividend of 1 per cent. exclusive of
the property duty, was recoinmendtd to take place
in January next, which was agreed to witnout any
debate.

Mr. Sale then read the minutes of the prnceedingg
of the Committees since the last meeting, And a vow
of Approbation WAS passed upon them.
Mr. Harvey then intimated to the Proprietors.
that some prospects wale held out of a new com-
pany undertaking to complete the Union Cenat.
which, it executed. will undoubtedly prove of
great advantage to the Grand Junction. Mr. H.
recommended to the proprietors of the Grand Junc-
tion Canal to take thi. bubjed into their consideration;
and suggested, that at some future time it might be
proper for this Company and some others that are
interested, to lend some assistance to accomplish this
end.

A vote of thanks was then unanimously passed to
the Committee, and especially to Mr. Harvey, for
the great attention shewn to the concerns of the Com-
pany. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman,
for his paricular attention, arid the meeting adjourn-
ed till u o'clock, when about 60 sat down to an ea-
cellent dinner, after which the foilowing toasts and
sentiments were given:
