THE BRITISH PRESS.

LONOON,
FRIDAY. Novkmesa 10.

• By the Mail from Malta and Gibraltar, which ar-
rived on Wednesday, letters hare been received from
Smyrna, which coutirin the account lately given
in this Paper, of, the high estimation in which Sir
HARFORD Julies is held at the Court of Persia.—
It Collier appearp from them, that a well organized
Persist, Army, sk_lso,ooo, is on its march to co-
operate with the Tillts against the Russiass, and that
several British officers from India accompany its Staff.
The P 114514151 AXSASSADOIL. who his been fur some
time expected here, • bed arrived at Malta with his
Secretary and Suite, and were to embark shortly
in one of our frigates. They report that Sir HAIL..
FORD Jones was in great credit and estimation
at the Court of Persia. The letters from Sicily
state, that the greater part of the troops that had
been lately employed in the demonstration against
Naples. were equipping for a new and more serious
Expedition. The dmitinatien of the troops wus not
knorwo, but it was generilly supponed they were
going to take possession of some of the Greek Islands,
with the concurrence of the Turkish Government.
The advanced .4tia.d, consisting of 2000, had sailed
on the 23d of Se.i.tember, and a much greater
force was expected to put to sea in a few days after.

The reward of 1001., offered by the Magistrates
of Bow.steet, for the discovery of any of the rioters
who ut Lac kr() r. liateaLe's house in Great Rnssel-
street, Bloomsbury, has had the good effect of sup-
pressing all riot out of doors. There have not been
any processions of the !nab through the streets, for
these two nights past; and we trust that these in-
multili4 stud disgraceful proceedings will never be
repeated. •

An Officer of the Guards, who wn made prisoner
at the battle of Taperers, aid who has been ex-
clitincd, has joined the British may again—and
he reports, that so far is the Frenchwsrmy from be-
ing reduced to the small number we have heard,
that it actually animism to 80,000 risen—that they
expect forthwith to receive a reinforcement of
15,000 men, and that then, after leaving garlisons
in the places they have recovered, they make no
secret that they are to resume offensive operations
against the English.
Latter* to the date of Sunday last have arrived
from Holland. A rumour prevailed at Amsterdam,
that a large body of troops had arrived at Antwerp ;
sad it was expected that a considerable French
army would enter the Dutch territories.
The seven regiments under orders for Waloheren,
it is supposed, are not gon.g out to assist in retain-
ing the Island, but, on the contrary, to keep the
enemy in check while the embarkation takes piaci.
The fortifications will, or course. be destroyed, and
also the barracks, which the 800 carpenters went
out fpiconstruct..

It Pass& that his Holiness the Pora has contrived
to tuit4e Isis escape from Avislion, and to have found
hia way ioto Spoilt, where it is expected that his pre-
serves is to revive the hopes of the Patriots, subtitle
the corruption olthe Junta, disappoint the treach-
ery of the 'Nobles, and rally round the Cross the po-
pulation of the kingdom.
A quantity of specie, destined for the payaleat of
the grrrisou of Walcheren. &c. was on Monday
escorted through eraierhury, by a party of the
Life. Guards, for einisarkution at Deal.

A pnvateietter from Paris says It is • posi-
tive fact that he (the Emperor) was attacked vio-
lently with a collapse, which lasted A hours, dur-
ing which time he was in's state of perfect stupor.
Du ROC found him in this situation; and immediate
steps were taken to keep his malady secret. The
attachment o( the Generals nearest his Orson was
fully evinced on this occasion, by the measures of
precaution they took, in case of his death, to prevent
a convulsion. He recovered, however, before his
illness had transpired; and scarce a symptom of in-
disposition appeared in his face."

IPETE AT FROG MORE. • _

1 On Wednesday tiler Majesty; the Dukes of Cla-
Kew, Cambridge, Nurses, and Cumlier-
, land, Princesves Augusta, Sophia, Elisabeth, and
' Mary, went to Frogmore-lodge, to dinner ; all the
Nobility of the country were invited en the arca-
siva, and tickets for admission to the gardens tient
to all the Get..ry round the country. Amongst
the company whodined at the Lodge we itnticed—

Lind mid Cady Harcourt, Lord Alouta,cue, Lord liolt-
tiroukc and family, Lord Walsiachant and hail t, Ladies. It-
cheater, Cranky, and Ely, Mr. I:traumatic and tinnily, Col.
'Wyse and faintly.

Her Alajeoty sat down to dinner at four o'clock.
As soon so the gardens, bridge and temple were
illuminated, the choir from St. George's chapel
came from one pert of the gardens, dressed in their
surplices, with lighted torches in their hands, sin--
log an anthem, walking over the bridge to the
temple, and stood on the steps of the temple, sing-
tog God save the king, &c.

After dialler. there were tea. criffee,uegus, wines,
cakes, &c. &c. in the booths and marquees, for
the accommodation of the visitors is the gardens.
A bridge was erected across the canal, to the tem-
ple, which was beautifully illuminated; and a
grand star, at the top of the bridge, was also illu-
minated en each side, on the top, and all round the
arches, and round the edge of the canal, where
there were six boats, with cadopies, illuminated
with variegated lamps, which kept rowing about.—
About seven o'clock, two ears, drawls by sea horses,
beautifully decorated, and illuminated aid, rune
gated lamps. came from above the bridge to the
temple, and through the middle arch? attended
by two boots, also decorated with variegated• lamps,
with the two bands of music, the Royal Horse
Guards (Blues), with thri; silver drums, and the
Stafford Militia. la the Brat car was Neptune, and
in the secind car was a Triton; but, at the starting,
the car, by some accident, grit leaky, and sunk;
but that of Neptune continued his course. When
"they came to the bridge, the firewoiks, from the
biidge, which we placed at the top, were
dii-
played, as were also some placed all road the ca-
nal, which gave a brilliant light to the spectators,
to Wee the movements of the sea-horses, which drew
• Neptune's car, which was followed by the two
bands, playing (od Salle Me King and Rule Bri-
tannia, and the six boats, rowed Ly aatermen, in the
naval uniform ; wheoe they kept rowing about, till
the signal was given for the car awl boats to return
to their mooriogs, and the two bands struck up
Briton's Strike home, which was accompanied by
the choristers.

dent happened, only Tritmt and his crew gut a
