We have every reason to believe that the rumour
ot\the loss of the Piantaienet is wholly unfounded.
The Revolutionaire, whith was also reported to
have been losl, is known to be safe,:

Notwithstanding the, repeated refusals of the
French Government to •establi,h a regular Cartel
for the Exchange of Prisoners of War, the British
Government have, in compliance with the request
of Admiral VILLENEUVE, permitted his Captain,
M. MAGENDIE, to return -to France, on his Parole,
to make another proposition for the Establishment of
a General Cartel. We sincerely hope, for the sake
of humanity, that the attempt will succeed, though
we are by no means sanguine in our expeßations. -

Mn. PITT has returned 'to his.house at Putney ;
he is far from being, completely restored. to health,
and some doubts. are entertained whether he will
be. able to attend ,his duty in Parliament at the open-
ing of the Session.

No intelligence whatever has reached town from
the Continent, but we think. it very probable that a
Hamburgh Mail will arrive in the course of the day.-

for the eledion of .a-Bridgemaster for the remainder
of the year, in the room of the,:late Mr. SAmuti.
--MAkmoTT,.deceased ; when Mr. IDSEPH WELLS,
Citizen and skinner, was eleeted by-a great majority •
in the show:of hands. Mr:YEowittio, the other Can-
didate, declined standing a poll; and the same time
signified his intention of offering himself at affuture
opportunity.. The unanimous rnanks of the Hail
were voted to the. Right HOD,. „the Lott D MA fOR, for •
his impartial condua. throughout the whole of the
business.
There was
,no Court of Aldermen, held to-day ;
,the LORD MAYOR, after inspe4ing the Returns, or-
dered the price of Bread to remain the same as last

'lt is surprising that so much clamour should have
prevailed in the Opposition Papers, because one of
them gave an account of a pretended Meeting of
the Party at the Earl of ALBE,MARLE'S, since
the Papers on that side of the question exhibit every
day something not more allied to truth and Proba-
bility.—it was, however, rather' unfortunate j.hat
Lord ALBEMARLE'S house should have been shut up.
at the time when the Meeting was said tOhive taken.
place, and that Mr. GREY, one of the persons whose
speeches were given, should happen to have been in
Northumberland ; otherwise, perhdps, the fairy tale
would have been repeated with confident assevera-
tions of its authenticity.
