fled at being,encircled by so very respe table a corn-
panr. Congratulations upon the occasion of his
Excellency's propitious arrival having been offered,
and the pro Cession to accompany the Ambassador to
the house prepared for his accommodation being

grandeur of the propession. The concourse of spec-
tators, Europeans as well as natives, was immense,

towards the distinguished stranger who was the ob-

ff At day-light saw a boat, with tnatsail hoisted,
Wering about S. W.: bore up to'her, and hove to;
found ,the 'boat or vessel full of people, who appear=
d•nearly-expiring : took all the.people on board, of
the to.llowing description; a Malabar man (native
ct--Aladras), a Chinaman, and fifteen Birinahs, all
of thorn in-a very exhausted. and Miserable 'condi-
tion,. from hunger and.fatigoe.. The accopuLthey
gave_of theinSelyes is as- follows they say that they
left Rangoon,
_about two months ago, bound for
Martaban ; but, from bad weather, and ignorance
of navigation, the 'vessel had been wrecked on an
island, the name of Situation of ',which they know
not, but which we imagine to' have' been the Great
•
Andannan.
“ So Stion as they got on shore the natives,
attacked them with' bows and arrows, and killed
two people, a Chinarnan and a Birmah ; the .re-
mainder escaped to a small island adjacent, where,
from the remains Of their vessel, they constinded
the boa(in which We found them. ' .
" They remained on the island; about 20 days,
during whioli.tiMe they were freiiiieritly attaCked by
the natives, whom they dect-ibe as heing negrOeS,
With woolly,heads, andTperfeetly nked.
During the above period, :and till we fortunately
fell in with them, they bad subsisted•entirely on' the
bark of trees. and a very few miasels.
They left.the island about five days ago; and
ignOrantly supposed;
_that by keeping before the

LONDON,

vRTD4Y; JULY 25; 1806'i

Tuts morning, at one eclock, a Russian Messen»
ger arrived in Town with Dispatches from M. D'Ou,
ERIL, at Varis, to t'le Russian Ambassador here.
The substance of the Dispatches was immediately,
communicated ;to.; His Majesty's Ministers, and a
Cabinet' Council was summoned this day at one
o'Clock to take thenljnto consideration. The con-
tents of these Dispatches ofcourse have not transpired;
but we have reason to believe that they do not con-
firm the report which was circulated yesterday, Ofa
separate Peace having been concluded between Rus-
sia and. France.—Lord servant, who.
arrived in town with Dispatches on Tuesday morn-
ing, was ordered to hold himself in readiness to re-
turn this day.

WE received last night Paris Papers .to.the 17th,
; and Dutch to the £'l st. instant. If we are to forM a
judgment from the language used in the French.
Pa-
pers, there is very little disposition on the part of the,
French Government to conciliate either Great Britain
Orltussia, notwithstanding theNegotiationsforPeace.
The Moniteur containi.a severe attack upon RuSsia,
, .
for: having, as it. is stated, encouraged the revolt of
the Servians
.against. the Porte. It is true this
attath. does ,not appear as an official article,' but
in the shape of a letter from Constantinople ; .but
thiS artifice has been so often resorted
.to in the,
Moniteur, that it cannot now impose upon any
one. The French.. Papers have also taken an op-'
portunity of throwing-out insinuations against this
Country, from a circumstance which might have
been expeaedto have excited sentiments of a very
different kind... It is statedthat an English Flag of
Truce appeared before Calais on the loth of this
month, and repeated .the assurances' before given,
that French Fishing-boats Would not meet any ob-
struelion from the'English provided they did not
pass the prescribed limits. 'lnstead of expressing_ any
gratitude for- this indulgence, the French Papers
state, that no reliance can be placed upon these
assurances,, and that it is probable that curiosity alone
10 to the visit of the Flag of Truce .to the French
Coast.: At the 'commencement of the present War '
permission was granted by the British Government to
the French Fisning-boats to 'fish as usual, and that
indulgenCe would not have been taken from them
if it had' riot been most grossly abused, It is
• well known .ttift the French Fishingboats on
the Coast of Normandy are very large, and-many of
them carry from twenty to thirty men.. Instead, how-
ever, of employing themselves in fishing, whenever
an ,opportunity offered they boarded and captufed
English Merchantmen, and the 'British GoVern
ment was therefore compelled ,to Withdraw the 'int.
dulgence which they had granted.
• •
The Siege of Gaeta, still continues, but the French
Papers anticipate the speedy capture of the place,_as
the 13esiegers.have pushed their last parallel within
160 paces.ofthe.Garrison ; but as, according to, their
own 'accounts, the Besieged has not fired upon
them, it is natural to conclude, that the Prince
of HESSE.PHILIPSTHAL is prepared for an assault,
that he will spring the mines that are beneath
their works, or inundate them,- which is perfealy
practicable. . . . '
. .
" The' report communicated by the Captain of the,
American
.Ship Hope to the .Constance Frigate last
• •
Week, of a Treaty laving been concluded between
, France and the Torte, inconsequence of which the
former was to have PermisSion 'to march her Troops
through Turkey to Egypt, 'turns out, as we expea-
ed, to be unfounded—at least there is no such.artiCle
in the Moniteur.

THE business of the Lottery was not settled this
day, as 4Peeted. ,Lord GRENVILLE met the Gen-
tlemen who were to-. bid for it, according to"ap-
pointment, this morning, at the Treasury.,--
Tristead of taking the next Lottery, singly, they
otfered to bid for the Three together. As this
was a new proposition, GEOVILLE deem-'
ed it proper, to take' time fur the consideration
of it, and the' meeting was therefore adjourned 'till
twelve o'clock on Monday.

Yesterday a Cabinet Council was held at Mr.
Fox's" Office, in Downing-street, at which all tieCabine,, Ministers, except Mr. Fox and Lord EL.:
LENBOROUGH, were present. It is supposed that
the answer to the last Dispatches from France were
taken, into consicler4wp.
