Some doubts are attempted to be thrown upon the intelli-
gence, that peace has been concluded between Turkey and
Ruisia ; but thew doubts arc expressed in letters from

Vienna.

There is an account of our having debarked a large force
at -La Ciotat, a port in Provence, on the 2d of June, and '
of our being forced to re-embark with greatioss. We doubt
the account, at least we doubt that our attack was attended
with such a result, far surely as we have received Paris
papers to the sth July, above one mouth after the attack,
they wou!d have noticed it, had we experienced the defeat
of which the German paper speaks.
A treAtv of. offensive and defensive alliance between
France and Prussia was ratified at Berlin, on the .sth of
Maid), by which they mutually guarantee the integrity of
each ot'i, r's dominioes.
,e teis have been received from the French coast to the
3d inst. and from Fat is to the 50th last. The revocation of
the Orders in Council by the British Government was known
in Paris, and had excited a considerable sensation there. A
material alteration had taken place in the exchange in fa-
vour of England.
The following is an extract of a letter from l)emarara,
dated ,29th April :—" All Spanish Amei lea is in an uproar;
civil war rages in all quarters, fighting and slatightering each
other like tigers. There has been amy saw uinary battle
fought a few days ago at Guiana, in our neighbourhood, in
which the regulars defeated the independents, and slaughter•
ed every soul ; not one prisoner made."
Accounts have been received from the Downs, detailing
the particulars of a gallant attempt of Captain LENNOCK, in
the Raven sloop, off the Scheldt, to destroy the enemy's flo-
tilla, consisting of 14 sail, when practising on the 3d inst.
dose in their own port. lie succeeded in cutting oil seven,
three of which he totally destroyed, the caber four sought pro
tection under a battery: The enemy's naval force, now ready
for sea in the Scheldt, consists of 18 sail of the line, and five
frigates.

It was reported yesterday, that General I'HILIPPON had
been taken, but a letter from a Gentleman at Brighton,
dated on Thursday., states, that General PitILIrPON,
.dressed
like a journeyman butcher, accompanied by a shabby look-
ing fellow, who spoke tolerable good English, took up their
a;)ed:' in a barn near that town on Friday night, and the
par le: had embarked not far from thence.
Nothing can equal the violence, the injustice, and the
intemperance of the French faction in America. They have
e.enouneed Mr. RANDOLPH, the enlightened American Se-
tumor, as being in the pay of this country, because he is a
f. lend to peace, and deprecates the calamities of war. Nu-
merous petitions have been prepared against war with Eng-
land, and the petitioners, though innumerab!e, will of course
be involved in the same vulgar calumny with Mr. RAN-

DOLPH.
The following statement is given in the Aremsing Letter
in the Times, of the manner in which Mr. COBBETT'S offer
to gi.‘e up his Paper was received by Governinenl: " When
his proposal was made of relinquishing his .k(gister, a Mem-
ber of i‘duilnistration said, Vs hy, here's ('oarIETT squeak-
ing: he'll give up the Register, if you won't send him to
Newgate.' It was then sugge.,ted, that this hardy patriot
might, to save himself front so terrib!e a calansity, go a
little, !and, by the way, but a very little) fartly..r, and be

induced, in order to save himself, to write for Government r

The reply to this was, D-n him, he has changed too often
• already :he would not be worth a I—e for-us !"l'o prison
it was accordingly deterininod that Mr. C9IIBETT shoighl
"
go.

Ills A 1.4 JESTY.

JULY

Art'Express arrived at Carlton House on Monday afternoon, at font
o'clock, with the afflicting intelligence that his Aligesty had that loran..
ing, soon after his rising, been seized with a violent paroxysm, tlhr.
he became k peeibless, and ccntinued s a when the Messen,er !eft
Windsor. The alarming state of the Royal Sufferer cawed expressos
to be sent off in various directions; and on the first intimati:in of the
latuentablu state of his revered Parent being received by Ow Prince
Regent, his Royal Ilighues bet out for Windsor, as did the Dike of
Cumberland and must of the other Royal Dukes. On Tuesday morn.
ins it was announced that his Majesty's disorder had abated. arid
that he was out of danger. We have peat reason to believe, Ow
this Mannish: attack was onus to the sudden alteration of the
they, and being near the change of the moon.
WrNoson, Jur.y I.l.—The King chose and ordered his own dinner
to-day, and partook of it very heartily, soon after one o'clock. lie

MISCELLANIES.

By her 111atesty's command, the Bulletin of Majesty's Health wilt

ing after the first Saturday in each month.

Thtusdav a Cowl of Common Council was held at Guildhall, when,
amongst other business, the Lord Mayor laid before the Court a letter
from Mr. Coop: r, Solicitor to the Customs. offering to purchase the Gun
Tavern, Billingsgate, of the City, for the purpose of erecting a iteN
Custi.m-House on the scite thereof, which was read and referred to the
Committee of City Lands, to examine and report. The sum of 1001. was
voted in aid of the funds of the Vaccine Institution ; and the lihe stun
to the British and Foreign Bible Society ; the sum proposed for the
latter Institution was 3001. but was negatived by a majority of two.
The Lords of the Treasury have, on the )(presentation of the Bishop
of Exeter, permitted this.'S bushels of salt to be distributed to the po.r
inhabitants of the Scilly Islands, duty free, for the putiplse, of (link;
fish for their support in the wintur season. This supply has bun
tributed to upwards of two thtsusand persons.
Robert Ilepbarn her, who, by a late decision in the House of Peers,
was found entitled to the Dukedom of Roxburgh, a::d 100,0 01, sted•
ing in the funds, was some years ago a pauper in the city of Kingstai,
Jamaica, and died there in 1808, in the hospital, and was buried at the
expellee of the palish.
Cage. Co N.—The last Paris Papers contain a trial of a female for
adt.ltery. .She was sentenced to 1.2 month's imprisonment, and her
paramour, who was tried with her, to one nionth's imprisonment. The
Parisian ladies think this too light a sentence on the seducer, and nil)
heavy on the poor seducce.
One of the most respectable period cal publications speaks as I (lows
of Mr. Party's song of " Arthur the Brave," which must be highly
flattering to hint :—" While the words ..f " Arthur the Brave'' do cre-
dit to Mr. Parry's taste and spirit as a Puet, the melody he has appbea
to theta, claims for him the title of a real musician. A simplicity taot
vigo;lr of style characterize the passages tl,roughout ; and it is no slight
praise to Mr. 1). to say that the effect of the two sister arts, as lie Inis
her. coma').tied them, bespeak, at once, sentiments honourable to his
heart, and a power of expressing those sentiments that greatly rt.:com-
mend his Lnents."
