LONDON,
FRIDAY, JUNE 24.

The French National brig, the capture and
arrival of which at Plymouth we stated yesteiday,
appears to have been the fore-runner of a large
West-India fleet upon its return to France from St.
Domingo. Our Channel fleet has gone in pursuit
of ir, and every thing possible to be done may be
eneFted from the zeal and courage of our sailors.

The Ponds were very dull yesterday ; and not-
mithstanding the rumours of a renewal of a nego-
tiation, through the... mediation of Russia, not a
single ray of hope of peace remains.

Yesterday a Court of Common Council was held
at Guildhall, at which the LORD MAYOR, fourteen
Aldermen, and a groat number of Commoners were
prcrent.
His ...IAI EST Y's Answer to the late Address of
the Corporation was read, and ordered to entered
c.in the proceedings of the Court.
A Petition was presented from the Inhabitants of
the pari,...b of St. James, Clerkenwell, relative to an
improvement to be m.s!e in the streets between the
City and that parish, which was read and referred to
the Committee of City Lands. Also several other
petition!: and memorials for leases, Stc. were read and
referred to die same Committee to examine and re-
port.
NATHANIEL BRICK WOOD, was appointed a
Governor of Bridew ell and Bethlern Hospitals, in the
room of the late Mr Deputy ILIFrE.
The Com t eleaed J Ls Srrvi;:ss, jun. Clerk of
the Court of Requests.
Thirty-two vessels from Hamburgh, under eon-
nroy of the Melpomene frigate, Capt. Oliver. includ-
ing fourteen outward-bound - ships from London,
which, after teaching the Elbe, considered it prudent
not to proceed farther on their voyage, arrived off
the Humber on Wednesday last.
It is cxpe.led a shift of flags will take place shortly
at Spithead, when Vice-Admiral Sir Roger Curtis,
Bart. is to hoist his red flag on beard his Majesty's
ship Royal Sovereign, of 110 guns, to which ship
Captain Larcom will be appointed with the Vice
Admiral.
La Pique frigate, Captain Cm 11E11 AND, is to
cc-mvr the trade bound to the West Indies.
I.4r:e credit seems due to the extraft of a letter
received from on hoard one of our ships off Brest,
which states the entrance into Brest and Rochfort
of five sail pf the line belonging to the St Domingo
squadron, .notwithstanding the vigilance of our
cruisers. tie letter is dated the 15th, but as we are -
in lossessian of Paris papers to the 19th, the escape
of these vessels, had it taken place, would probably
have been noticed in them. Their arrival would
have been announced by a telegraphic dispatch to
thr Office of the Ministry of the Marine, long be-
fore the Iftth. intelligence of a date as recent as
the ie.ter to which we allude, has been received at
Plymouth from Admiral Coil?: W LL IS'S fleet, but it
tvk,.s no notice of the escape of the French ships.
