LONDON, • jUI.,Y ;8, 180 r.

We yesterday received Parrs Papers to die ;sth
inst. which contain no intelligence of importance,
if we except a statement in some of . the Papers of
the return of GA NTH F. A UNiE to Toulon, after having
landed his Troops twenty leagues from Alexandria.
In two of these Papers, the journal de Paris and
the Citoyen Francais, 'this fat is asserted With.
some confidence. In another, however, which. is
better informed than either of them, the Clef du
Cabinet,•it is more doubtfullystated, while the Mo..
NiteAr, and the demi-official journal des Pefenseurs
de la- Patrie,
,which seems to .pride itself on naval
intelligence, .aro wholly silent on the subjeCt. •We
can hardly be expeCted- to believe what the French
official Papers themselves do not venture to state ;
nd if any can suppose that GAWTH E 'Mt, had ac_
tuaily. arrived at Toulon, and that the faa is inten-
tionally. concealed, it must be becat.fie .he has re-
turned.(iitly all his Troops on board, and thus has
failed kn artaining the great objet of his EXpedi-
-tiOn.

One important fast however
.we learn, through
the of France, though the &nil Paperi are
silent on the subjett, - that the CHIEF CONSUL HAS

RATIFIED THE TREATY ENTERED INTO WITH
FoRTuoAL, Whether RONAPAR.TE has been led to
do this by the representations of Spain, in eon..

segile.nee of her new connexion, we know not, hui

teems to us more probable that the Court of Lis•

bon has obtained ihis ratification in the only way
in which successful Negotiations have hitherto been

curried on \vith France, by secret pecuniary sacrifices

This day several of the Volunteer Corps in. the
IYleirf•pol Es :vete to come upon active duty, in order
to eliab!e Government to send the Regulars to those
part► of the kindoin 'where their services .may be
more imr:iediately,required. The Royal Westminster
and Sr. J:unes's Volunteers are to take the -duty
of the Palk and the Palace ; and the London Volun-
teers arc to garrison the Tower.

The' general command of the Land Forces is en_
trusted to the Marquis CoßNwAws, who also
retains his local appointment in the Eastern Distriet,
vs;liere he resides. The defence of the Channel, from
Orfilrdness to Beachy Head, is confided to Lord NE 1,-
60 N, -flanked on the West and East by the Brest and
oteh Sea Fleets, under the Admirals Cortrrwm,Lis
and GRAVES. Lord NELSON Set out at four o'clock
yesterday morning for Sheerness, where he ar-
rived at twelve o'clock, and hoisted his Flag on
board the CAW Frigate. He has sixteen Frigates
au.l all the Guni?oats and smaller craft under his
o; dets. His Lordship made an application for three
A cles_de-Carnp, which the Admiralty have com-
plied with, although unprecedented,- in conSidera-
tiend the inconvenience to which our brave Ad..
rniral is by the loss of his right arm in the
service of his Country.
Ilon. Cal t. STEWART, son of Earl GAL i3O.
;, LlO li,, very much distinguished himself
during the War, accompanies Lord NELsoN, as his
air: Aide-de-Camp.

.All the Volunteers of the kingdom
.have received
orders to bold themselves in readiness at a moment's
not ice ; and Fishing Smacks have been hired by the
Trinity House at the entrance of the Swin, for the
purpose of being stationed at the Buoys lying at.
t 1 a respe;:iiveSmdc, to cut or destroy them, in case
an Enemy's Fleet should make its appearance, -
From the mignitude of the preparations which
have been made to give a warm reception to our
inveterate Enemy, in the, event of their being able
to elude the vigilance of our Fleets, every appre-
licnsion for the issue must be totally dissipated.--
A more elfcßual measure for dispersing our little
political d;fferences and uniting all Parries in one
common interest, the deknce of
.their cour.try,
could not be devised ; and should our adversaries
Ilavc the ,:einerity to invade nor shores, they will
find the mass of Englishmen aduated, as it were, by
One soul, and prefet.ring•even death .to Gallic tyraii.

That the French should give partial and exagge.
rated accounts of Naval Alions is what we have
been so lorg accustomed to, that it creates no sur,
prize, bur it does create 6ome astonishment to find
the Cfficial Paper, the Moaiieur, assert that their
FlotiW: from Calais. was attacked by twenty-five
Sail of Englis!i Vessels, because it was obvious to
thousands of Poop;:; on both Coasts, that our Force
did not exceed one fourth of that number.

II:T(11y a circumstance more evinces the great
change which the Frellch Revolution has produced
in Enthpe, particularly on the Continent, than the"
expostulatory style assumed by the'Constitutional
Priests of France in their addresS' to the Porr,
1105 e efrKt's to. 1-Yromore barmo!ly among the
Catholic Clergy thev.pdicii with the ;.ir of a remo,v_
stralee. SpLlicoildua Woniti a few years ago have.
ticcmed the most heinous

IT will be seen from our PlpsrQNlb Letter, that
while the Enemy are making demonstrations of
Invasion upon our Coasts, the Vessels which are
to bring their I egiuns hither, are not safe even
in their own Harbours, The Boats of
.four of our
Ships have, in' a most gallant manner, cut out of
Camaret Bay, a French Corvette, of 22 guns,
which- has.since been brought safe into Plymouth.
