LONDON,

MOINSDAY, JUNE 23, 180&

(..):; Saturday. morning,last Mr. WILBRAHAM, an
English Gentleman, who, *e believe, has been de-
tained in France since the uninnencemcnt of,the
War, arrived at Dover. He sailed from Boulogne
on. Friday evening, in a Flag of .Truce,' 'and was
picked up •by the Vestal Frigate, which %Vas
crnizing at some distance from that Fort. He
was ,conveyed :to Dover in the galley belonging
to the reital, acid arrived in London on SatUrdily

afternoon a.hout six o'clock. Iris said that he was
the
, Dearer of Seale Dispatches frornAl. TALLEY/1A ND
• to Mr. Fox. •

'- The rumonts!of' Peace begin to wear a more de-
-
cisive aspen, and , thotigh we shall riot pretend to
have much information on the subjela,. and never
shall . sport with the feelings and expeEtations
of the •Public; we' confess we . are strongly in-
clined to looks forward . to such an event with
more confidence. than we have hitherto enter-
lained. We lay no stress :Upon the reports
grounded upon the rieturn Of Lord YARMOUTH ;
but the late unexpeded arrival'of another English
Nobleman, whohas been in a diplomatic: situation',
and whose abilitis; as well as experience, tender
him a proper mediuM for 'Negotiation,, leads us to
.think that the French Government are more anxious

..on the subjecl than we supposed. If this be.
'the 'case, it is probable that France,. may.• • be
•sdisrrosed- to finale greater conces9ions - than might
,bU.expeEtedsafter- her late extraordinary i.uccesses.—
..
It :must be 'remembered that Prussia, althoug-b

she
.h the :first instance took Possession of Han-
over, and proclaimed her right to it unconditionally,
has since publicly announced' that her occupation
of that Ele&orate was only provisional. It: will
also be recolleaed, that the.last accounts from Ger-
many state that Auoct;:::Auls oF the French
Army had received orlers to march towards Hano-;
yer, for the purpose of re-occupyinglhat ,Eleaorate.
Our opinion upon this import4at sujt.;.c:t is in some
degree strengthened by the arrival of the Gentleman
above mentianel. Inc reached Dover, ,we-under-
stand; within eight and forty hours from his de-
parture from Paris, and such .expedition can hardly
be supposed to relat! merely to an, Exchange of
Piisoners.

WE yesterday received Paris and 'Dutch, Papers
to the 20th instant, and we are also enabled' to au,:
ticipate the first-of the, Hamburglt Mails now dal,
The intelligence in the French' and Dutch Papers it
not very interesting. The new. King of Holland
was expected at the Hague. about the middle of las,t
Week.' His Majesty; we have no doubt, has the
most iMplicit reliance upon the affection of his Sub-
je&s, but he seems to In-fe thought it a measure of
prudent precaution that the Garrison of the I,lague'
s'iould cou istentirely-of French troOps Letters froth
Berlin state, that his Prussian Majesty has at length
formed a detertuinatiOn of
.bringing his differences
With this Country-.to a decisive point, for which
purpose;. it is added, that he means to transmit his
ultimaizira. to London. It is probable that his Prus- ,
sian -Majesty has been urged by BONArAt; rE to come
to some, final resolution upon this ~s'ubjea; for, the
Moniteur contains an article commenting, upon the_
extraordinary situation in which :England and.
Prussia' stand, the former being aCtually at, War,
and the latter anxious to avoid it.

MR. PINKNEY,- who has been seleEted by the
President of the United States to enter into a discus-
sion. with_ the British_- - Government yespeCting the
mutual causes of complaint subsisting between the
two Countries, arrived at. Liverpool. on Thursday.
We have no doubt that there is every'disposition
On the part of His, Majesty's Ministers to' redress
ank real grievances .Of which the American Go-.
verilm.mt may have to coMplain ; but they will
not, on the other hand, we are convinced, compro-
mise the dignity,. or sacrifice the interests, of .this
Country, to the clamour of a Party in .America,
whose objeCt:evidently is to obtain from this Coun-
try the most degrading concessions, or to provoke a
War.

, Lord-.ST. VINceNT' arrived at P'oTtsrnontti. on
Saturday, in the Hibernia., of 110 guns. Sir
CHARLES COTTON hasthe command, of ute Chan-
nel Fleet during his Lordship's absence:
His Majesty's Ships Milan and Childers, with the
. .
Fleet under convoy for Newfoundland, and the
Racehorse and
.Active, accompanied by the Druid
Frigate, with a Fleet under convoy for Gibraltar,
sailed-from Cork on the 15th instant.

The investigation of a very delicate, nutter, to
which we alluded .on Saturday, was, it is said, in-'
stitnted by order of the illustricus Personage whose
liberal, gracious, and' persevering prote&ion has been
uniformly extended towards the distinguished Lady
to whom it peculiarly -relateE. Lords SPENCER,
GRENVILLE, ELLENBOROUGH, and the LORD CHAN-
CELLOR are understood to be the persons to whom
this interesting and important inquiry was entrusted.
,The•basis upon which the whole of these proceed-
ings originally rested, is reported to have ',been, a
Letter sent to the Husband of the Party, which,'
after a,consultation with a legal Sage, long since re-
fired from office, ,was by his advice communi-
cated to the highest. quarter.' Hence the course
of examination, which has since been pursued, was
immediately dire,Sted. Varicus rumours now pre-
vail a,s to this very mysterious business, but all agree
in representing what has transpired and is likely to
be the ultimate result, as in the highest degree-ho-
nourable to the party who has been thus wantonly
.and malipantly,aesailed.

Saturday morning Princesses AUGUSTA, aOPHIA,
and AMELIA, accompanied by Colonels TAYLOR,
CAMP.RELL, , &C. 'took an airing on 'horseback in
Windsor Great Park.

Nis MAJESTY, PrinceWS AUGUSTA, SOPHIA,

Yesterday morning, at eleven o'clock, the Royal
Horse Guards. (Blues), and the King's .own St.if-
fordshire Militia, marched into Windsor Castle
Court-yard. • Soon after His MAJESTY, attended.by

kc. walked round the Line, the Band playing God
save the King;•and was rnet by the Princesses At-
GUSTA and AMELIA, who walked to St. George's

by the Rev. Dr. NORTHEY.

The Barb adod Mercury of the 42d of AptiL
contains the following article respecting th SqUa -
droll of , French Frigates which we mentioned as
having arrived at Cayenne The Sloop Her-
ne, From Surinam, intbrms us, that accounts had
been received -there that , this Squadron, consisting
of four Frigates and two Rrigs, arrived at Cayenne
on the 27th March, and that the Frigates left it 'On
the 7th instant, as was supposed, for Martinique or
Guadaloupe. The Brigs Were also soon to sail, in-
, tending to- cruize along the Coast of-Guinea. The
Frigates have already made theirappearante in_ the
latitude of this Island, and, were spoken sn late as Sa-
turday last, within fifty miles of the land. An Ame-
rican Brig, which arrived here on Sunday, fell in with
them at nine o'clock the preceding morning, ..under
close-reefed. top-sails, as if intending to, cruizein this
latitude and was spoken by one of thern,
particular enquiry respeaingthe Brig's reckoning, and
the longitude they were in. When the American lost
sight of the:n, they had their topsails on the cap, and
• were standing with their hOads to .the S.S W.: They
are very large Frigates, having fifteen .portsasidepo the
gun-deck. The very Mort rine arrivalpfsome of our
Cruizers,soon after this in telligence wasreceived, gave:
Rear-Admiral CocHRANE the means of tnahing'suett
arrangements as may, in all probabflitY,,affOrd us the
pleasure of shortly seeing, these Vessels in our Port.'
The. Cerf Sloop of War was immediately dispatched
to the Canada, Off Martiniqne, with accounts of the
Enemy's movements; and the Ethation, which Carrie
in that morning, in want of water and provisions, wa-S,
by great exertions; immediately supplied; and with the
Circe, sailed inthe evening to the northward, being
joined in the pliingby theSquirre/Frigate, returning
from the south Ward, where she'had convoyed that,
.part of the last Lendbti .fleet 'which was bound to.
Demerary, Kzc.. These dispositions, so proMptly
made,. not Only-prove.the diligence :Of onr Navy on .
the station, but will, almost to a certainty, lead to a
capture of this Squadron of the Eneiny.7
