THE news of PeaCe With Ebilaild---ariived too
late at Porta Ferrajo to prevent a liloOdy Engage.
ment from taking place on the loth inst. Admiral
WARREN had brought the Beiieged a Reinfoz.-cetnent
of sco Corsicans and Maltese, Who immediately
made a sally under the command of Mr.-GRANT,
the late English Consil At LeghOrn, and. took
the outer entrenchments of the French Camp,
and the Post at Madonna efelle

On the rrth an advite-boatrrom Pcidgv, brought
intelligence of the Signing of the Preliminaries of
Peace with England, and an order for a 'Cessation
of Hostilities. The Conimandant of Porto Ferrcjo
would not at first believe the account ; but con-
sented to an Armistice till Admiral WARREN
Should receive Official Advices.

CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. IC).

LORD ELG N, in consequence of the fortunate
issue of the Campaign in Egypt, has had an audience
of the GitANn SEIGNIOR and, besides receiving the
new Order of the Crescent, was presented with a
horse magnificently caparisoned, and a Ring richly
set with diamonds.

Lady ELGIN has been presented by the Sultana
Mother, who received her visit this day, with a
superb Aigrette set with diamonds.

OCTOBER IS.

The Captain PACHA has sent by an Eglish
gate which has arzived here from AlLrandria, the
first new tribute from Eoypt, consisting of two
hundred Purses of gold and silver money coined at
Cairo. The GRAND SEIGNIOR has on this Occasion
made great presents to the Sultanas, the Foreign
nisters, and other persons of.his Court-, and has ex-
pressed his particular satisfaaionAßthe gallant con-
dua of the Captain Pacha.-
The. English Ambassador, Lord ELGIN, has had
the unusual honour of dining with the GRAND
SEIGNIOR, on which occasion he was presented with
a Sword richly set with diamonds. His numerous
retinue Were likewise presented with valuable rings,
snuff-boxes, &c.; twenty-five persons belonging to
the English Embassy, or of that Nation, have
received sable pelisses, and thirty-seven,•ermin pe-
lisses. All the English here are treated with so
much distinction, that the Natives of other Euro- •
pean Countries appear somewhat envious of the
preference given them.

We were very glad to hear the intention lately
announced by the CAANc ELL OR of the EXCHEQUER
of discharging the Debt of the Civil List.—The
Payments due on this head have been Six, and, we
believe, sometimes Seven Quarters in arrear. How
distressing this must be to some of those who receive
small Salaries from this Fund, it is hardly neces-,
nary to state. But when we mention the circum-
stance of the Arrear, we do not mean to impute
blame to any person. If the Sum fixed for His
MA J ESTY'S Civil List was adequate to its purpose,
when it was settled at the present'Amount, how
can it be so now, when, in the course of the last
ten or fifteen years, many Articles have increased
double. in their price ? When %..T consider this fia,
and when 'we also recqlle4, that
,tlie,Revenne which
His MAJESTY gave ~9p;_,in lied 3,g, the Civil List;
haS increased to four,rorfiveAttkired Thousand
Pounds beyond the Sum arrwlii4v,the present Civil
List is fixed, we should not think it unreasonable,
that an application should be, made to Parliament,
even for a permanent Increase df the Civil List it-
self—But, to' Mr. ADDINGTON'S Proposition, we
do not conceive there can be the slightest objedion
in any quarter whatever-L--that 'Proposition is' to pay
the Debt of the Civil List out of His MAJESTY'S
Colonial Possessions.—This Plan has been for a
conaiderable time past in contemplation, and upon
the accomplishment of Peace,, was intended to be
brought forward. The Colonial Possessions meant
to be thtis appropriated, are, we believe, . those
forfeited Estates in the Islands of St. Vincent, Do-
minica, &c. of which the Rents are at present re.
ceived by the Crown. These Rents are small, but
they would be much increased if the 'Lands were
cultivated by individual Proprietors.: It is gene-
rally understood, that there are persons ready to
make offers for the purchase of these Lands, and
that the Sum they would probably prochice would
go nearly, if not entirely, to' pay the Whole Aftears,
and clear the Civil List from every incumbrauce.
We apprOve of this Plan exceedingly, and 'We. hope
for the Credit and Character of the' Station, and
for the sake of those who are inamediately
ested, that it will be carried into execution With-
out any delay.

Letters hive been received froM Majoifi. E E

change in Egypt ; .havirg been taken prisoner while.
reconnoitring the coast with the. gallant Major
