The Isles 'of Prance and Bourbon were visited
by violent storms on the 20th February and 10th
March. The Plantations suffered considerably, and
six Frendh Vessels, with several Americans, were

-lost. Two French Frigates arrived at the Isle
of 1 France in March with the advice of the
.battle of. Austerlitz. One of them got into Port,
under jury-masts:, although a British 74 gun-ship
was cruizing off it.
Two English Privateers have created great alarm
'and made considerable booty on the western coast
-a Spanish America. In October last they attack-
ed a Sp:•nisb Frigate in the Port of Pata, on the
'coast of Peril, and would have taken her had she
not been towed, during the a&ion, under the bat-
:teriet of the town. Two American vessels (the
Walker , COLEUADT, and the Harlequin, Sr'Attauck),
.which were there at the time, being suspee-ted of an
'understanding with the English Commanders, were
aeizeif ihtLdetainecttill the 13th January.
ae of the .French Frigates belonging to the
t'Or,Liat Squadron was severely handled by the
Mary, of London, one of the Ships taken by the
Enemy off the coast.of Africa. After an' anion of
- needy half an hour, Capt. ADAYLS formed the de-
termination to board the Enemy, and arming 250
IlTegroes with knives, pikes, swords, &c. he rushed
with thein on the Frigate's deck, and, after shock-
ing carnage, swept the Frenchmen from it. At
this 'moment Capt. ADAMS was killed by a shot from
the rigging ; the Negroes became alarmed and 'con-
fused by the loss of their leader, and the French ral-
lying, drove them down, retook the Frigate, and
'Captured the Mary.

On Saturday morning His MAJESTY', the DUKES
6f CiTMBERLAND and KENT, PRINCESSES AMELIA)
ZonirA, and AuotisTA,,accornpanied by Lord WIN-
OTELSEA, Generals DE BIJDE, CARTWRIGHT,' and
FrmaoY, rode in Windsor Great Park until one
O'clock.
His MAJESTY and the PRINCESSES walked on the
Terrace in the evening, after 'which they had a
concert.
Yesterday morning the Duke of Yoaic arrived
At Windsor, and transa&ed business with His MA".
3ESTY. afterwards he attended the parade, in the
Court-yard',.of the Blues, and the Stafford Regi-
Tnenfr, with His MAJESTY, accompanied by Gene-
rals CARTWR/GITT, Da BODE, and FITZROY, and
Colonel • TAYLOR. After which, His MAJESTY,
Princesses AUGLYSTA and AMELIA, walked to
Church, accompanied by the Dukes of YORK and
CAMBRIDGE, who returned to the Palace, attended

by Lord *INCHELSEA, Lady ALBINA CUMBER-
, LAND, Generals Ds BUDE and GARTH, and Colo-
nel TAYLOR, where a Sermon was preached by Dr.
CHAMPNEYS. After the service the Archbishop of
CANTERBURY (who arrived yesterday morning)
waited in the church, and held some conversation
-with His MAJESTY. His MAJcsTY and the PRIN-
CESSES went in a carriage to Frogmore, where the
CtusEN and the other PIINCESSFS went scme time
before. They returned to the Palace about two
o'clock.

Yesterday afternoon a Cabinet Council was held
. from two till past five, at Lord HENRY PETTY'S
house,' in Downing-street, at which were present
the LORD CHANCELLOR ERSKINE, Earl SPENCER,
Lord GRENVILLE, Lord SIDMOUTH, Lord HOWICK,
and Mr. WINDHAM.
Another body, amounting to nearly 500, belong-
, ing to the second Battalion of the first Regiment of
Guards, volunteered on Saturday to join the first and
third Battalions, which are under orders for foreign
service.
The transports 'intended for the conveyance of the
Expedition to the Mediterranean are assembling at
Ramsgate, where the Guards, and some other Bat-
talions, are to embark.
Some of the Papers state, that General WYNYARD
is to command the Expedition to the Mediterranean.
. We believe, however, that he is merely to command
the Brigade of Guards.
Mr. Fox remains much in the same state, but
rather improving. He is more cheerful in spirit
than he was, and, of course, the hopes of his friends
rise in a similar proportion.
The following article is taken from a respe&able
raper of yesterday An extraordinary report pre-
vailed yesterday, of a Lady of distinguished consi-
deration having within a few days abjured, before
the Bishop of London, the tenets of the Rornish
Church, to which it has hitherto been supposed she
was zealously attached."
On the Banks of the Rio Grande, in Africa, a salt'
is produced which is proved to be an instantaneous
and infallible antidote against poison. The manner
in which it was discovered is curious. It appears to
have been owing to an elephant which, thdugh
'wounded by a poisoned arrow, a weapon with
which the Negroes destroy those animals for the
sake of their teeth, continued, to ,the astonisllinent
of the hunters, to walk and graze -without Shelving
any sign of pain. One of the Negroes recolleaad
that the elephant had gone, on being struck by the
arrow, to the bank of a stream, and had cony eyed
some sand to its mouth by means of its trunk but,
on looking at what they conceived to be sand, they
found it was a- whitish salt, having a slight taste of
alum. To effe& a radical cure of any poison that
may have been absorbed, it is only necessary to
drink a drachm of this fralt dissolvedira water.

•
PARIS,..TULY, D'Olf131: tt_ arrived at 'Sfras
burgh on 'the 29th of June. We_ have no doubt
this Minister left Vienna with the celtainty that
the Mouths ,of the Cataro had been, surrendered,
and that the difficulties which so long delayed the
return of the Grand Army are at length .removecl,,
It is not ascertained whether 'M. D'plustut. will
immediately conic to Paris, or whether he will re-
main for same time at Strasburgh.
An occurrence has taken place at Verdun which
does too much honour to the person concerned in it,
not to find a place in our paper :
Mr. BARKER, a Lieutenant in the English Navy;
and prisoner at Verdun, lodged in apartments over-
looking the Meuse, where he had. been for some
time ill of a tertian ague. While he was suffering
under a ,violent fit a few days ago, he perceived a
child of eight or ten years old, who, carried by the
current from the bathing place to the deep part of
the river, was on the point of being drowned: Mr.
BARKER, forgetting his own critical situation,'r'ashed
out, jumped into the river with his clothes on, and
was lucky enough to save the child and restore him
to his parents. After this affe&ing incident, the
disorder of the stranger increased,' but the strength of
his constitution and his youth enabled him to over,
Come it."

[Mr. BARKER,, We believe; was the First Lieu-
tenant to Captain WRIGHT.]
BANKS OF THE RHINE, JULY
whose arrival at Vienna has engaged much of the
public attention, and whom report sent many weeks
ago to France, has arrived at Strasburgh, from whence
he will- immediately continue his journey to Paris.
The German Papers, which have already announced
this journey, say that its principal °hied is to con-
crude some arrangement for the exchange of pri-
soners of war. But as M. D'OUBRIL was the last
Russian Charge d'4/wires at Paris ; as he enjoys
the complete confidence of his Sovereign ; as it is
notorious he was first sent to Vienna ,:to remove all
difficulties subsisting between Austria' and Russia;
and that he settled with Count STADION, the Mi-
nister forforeign Affairs, every thing respeding'the
evacuation of, Cataro by the:RusSian troops, we are
naturally Inclined to belieVe that his journey ,to
Paris, under the existing circumstances, has for its
object something more important than %a mere ex-
change of prisoners; we flatter ourselves that the
good understanding between the Cabinets of the
Thuilleries and St. Petersburgh flay possibly be
sqon restored.
PARIS; JULY s.—Letters from Strasburgh men.-
tion, that all the. Pontons have been carried to the
Rhine for the purpose of establishing three Bridges,
besides the Bridge at Kehl, for the passage of the
Grand Army on its return to France. All the Ar-
tillery taken from:the Russians and Austrians in the
last Campaign has been concluded between the two
Bridges of the Rhine near the Monument of the
brave DESSAIK. . The Army will defile before this
Monument, 'and will 'be inspected by Prince -BEK•
Minister of War. ' _

Two Frigates and fourteen English' Transports
continued in sight of Olonne . during the whole of
the 27th ult. Their appearance did not create the
least alarm.
BANKS OF THE MAIN, JULY L.—The Emperor
of the French has given the Great Ribbon of
the Legion. of Honour to the Margrave Louts of
Baden.

On the 22d ult. the French Troops under the
orders of General ST. HILAIRE were still at Bran-
nan.' There were some Austrian, Troops in the
neighbOurhood of the Inn, part of whom were in-,
tended to form the Garrison of Brannau.

Letters from Venice mention, that a Squadron
has sailed from thence to prote& the Navigation
of the Adriatic Gulph. The Russian Ships are
about to return to Corfu, there to wait for further
orders.

The independence of the three • Imperial Cities,
Hamburgli, Bremen, and Lubeck, appear to be de-
finitively assured.
VIENNA, JUNE 23.. —Every wish and every hope
here centre in the desire for the preservation of the.
Peace of the Continent. The financial plans with
which the Government is at present engaged can
only succeed upon the foundation of a general con-
fidence;; and the Court neglects nothing that can
ensure this objeEt. All- our military movements
announce the duration of Peace. A part of the
Army is now on its march for the Eastern Pro-
vinces of the Monarchy. Several Regiments have
left Vienna and its Environs for Hungary, while
others stationed there are on • their march for
Transylvania and the Two Gallicias. That
of Count JELLACHICII, which has been 'at Cra-;
covia eighteen months, has left that city for
Pizchmisle. One company of KENMAYnR' s Hus-
sars now form that Garrison. The Infantry regi
meats of DAVIDOV/ en and D'ArviNZY have marched
into Croatia to occupy Warasdin and Agram. Gen.
G/ULAY is expelled at the latter place, he being ap-
pointed Commtedant in Chief of Croatia. Baron
ALVINZY retains the command in chief in Hun-
gary. A grand review took place at Pest, on the
Bth instanto,when General ALVINZY bestowed the
Cross of Theresa upon Prince VICTOR ROHAN.
VIENNA, JUNE 25.—The Russian Chancellor of
State, M. D'Ousam, having received fresh instruc-
tions from St. Petersburgh, has at length set out for
Paris. He left this city on the 23d, and is to pass
through Munich, Stutgardt, and Carlsruhe, in his
way to the French capital.
BERLIN, JULY 4.—Preparations for war are not
entirely at an end, even in the midst of negotia-
tions. We are extremely busy in the arterial, and
the movements of the troops continue without in-
termission. The ,day before yesterday the Kein-
heim Regiment of Infantry marched to Pruissen,
there to replace that of Arnim, which has marched
to Pomerania. On the other hand, we expe& the
regiment of .the Prince of Orange in this capital.—
The Prince, their Colonel, has lately arrived here,
with several of his suite. •
MADRID, JUNE 12.—A1l the Foreign Envoys have
been informed that his Majesty has judged proper to,
shut the Ports of his States against all Swedish Ves-
sels, Merchants, and Ships of War.
VIENNA, JUNE 22.—The French General AN-
, Daxossy is'now in Hungary, where hens aiStually
employed in procuring prov Wons fbr the French
Troops in Dalmatia.
By letters from Trieste, of the 17th, we learn that
the Austrian Troops, under General BELLEGAIIDEA

were offal) waiting Tot-'n fair Wirfd to'pro,t'ded to the
• ' .
Ca;ato, , The way from Trieste AO that'filace,- thro'
Palthatia, is GO •Germaiviniles-; , the 'roads bad 'and
the cotlntry mountainous'; and, as the'obtaining of
provisions was.ditlicult, it was thought most eligible
to convey the Austrian Troops by sea:
' The FrenCh General LAURISON is at Ragus'as.
kith 8000 men,- waiting Tor 'the evacuation of the
Cataro by the Russians.
A great number of French Troops remain in Is-
' aria, 'Dalmatia, and in the Venetian territory, and
observe a very stria discipline. ' .

. PARTS, JULY 3.—An English Cabinet Courier Ar-
rived here on Saturday evening, and returned again
t.tith dispatches on the evening Of the Ist. Since
his a rumour has been circulated, that he
is the bearer of Passports from the Government for
aft English Envoy. This, also, was the objea of the
first conference in which Lord YARMOUTH has been
en2aged.,
Some American Vessels have brought intelligence
that Admiral Guita.num Ez, with JEROME BONA-
rARTE on, board, has got into Guadaloupe.

The Generals LEUM-IEI4IIN and FREGEVILLE
have been dispatched, with a sufficient. number of
troops, to take possession of the Principality of
,Be-
nevento and Ponto Corvo ; the former in the nacre
Of the Prince and Duke M. TALLEY-HAND ; the lat-
ter in that of the Prince and Duke BEUNADOTTE.

The French Army, under Gen. MARMONT, still
remains encamped in the ci4tuant Venetian Frioul.
It has been joined by the French Troops which left
Holland in March. '

The advantageous dispositions lately made by the
Turkish Conrt,.and the movements of the Paellas of
Scutari and Bosnia, together with the apprehension
of some attempts against Corfu, seem to have in-
duced the Russians to leaVe the Italian Islands.—
None of their vessels have lately been seen in the
waters of
.CUrzola. It has been said, their objets is
to make some attempt in the Warensa, • in order to
penetrate into Dalmatia, while the Ships renew the
flunk upon the Italian Islands,: r Such purposes,
however, are no longer dangerohs, being known.
The English Vessels continue to , crui*ze on our
coasts, but their military exploits are scarcely worth
their pains. On the .15th 'inst. they.attempted to
burn a small coasting vessel that had taken refuge
under the- batteries of Trouville, near Caen ; but they
drew off :when a discharge of musketry was made
upon them. On the 17th inst they played that IoW
comedy of stopping.aud visiting one of their own
vessels, merely to draw out some Pilot-boat.;. 'this
trick suceeded as well- as it did before Cherbourg ;
two poor seamen were the victims of this delusion.
FRANKFORT, JUNE 29.—The agreeable intellir
gence of the departure of the French, troops froth
Germany is more and more confirmed. Two Regi-
ments belonging to General OuniNdi'left the dis-
trid of Heilbron on the 24th, and preparations are
making at Geislingen for the reception of Marshal
SouLT'S.Corps.

THE OPERA.—Mrs. BILLINGTON and GRASSINI
combined their powers on Saturday, for the last
time this season, in the Serious Opera of R Rd!to di
Proserpina,. The great vocal *tits Odle one; and
impressive a&ing of the other, were highly admired
and loudly applauded, by a very-elegant and nume.,
rous audience.

At a Provincial Theatre, some • few nights since,
the -locum to lens of the' principal prforrner, 0 was
too ill to play, bit being much hissA, a .drccuyi-
stance that
.array's attended '.his getting into a good
6
part;addressed the -houses in the following whimsi-
cal style :
" Ladies and Gentlemen, as it is only when I appear be-
fore you in a principal charatier that you give me goose (al-
though passionately fond Of the 'dish, 1 don't like it cooked
by you), I really don't understand you ; but I have too great
Sri opinion of your. good sense to imagine you exped as fine a
voice ati4 person in me, I.vlto receive only iss,.per week,- as
from our principal pertOrmers who get twice as much."

The French say they will be very well satisfied if
JEROME BONAPAR rE can escape Nvithflying colours.

Slimmer Amusement.—On one of the warmest
afternoons which has been experienced this season,
two persons in the neighbourhood of Whitehaten
agreed to run their ponies for a guinea. One of them
lost of course.;, and being (as it sometimes happens
in such cases) dissatisfied with what had passed, he
proposed to wrestle with the- winner for the same
sum. This was consented to, and he lost
More dissatisfied than ever, he challenged his com-
petitor to fight him !—This proposition was likewise
accepted ; and, after a tolerable good beating, he de-
clared himself—perfca/y satbifled.
Acci 'DEN-F.—An Officer of Dragoons, who served
in Egypt, was yesterday riding in Hyde-Park, and
by some unlucky event was
.thrown from his horse.
Some Gentlemen immediately hastened to assist
him, and one with great anxiety observed, that the
Officer had broken his leg. " That is-very unfortu-
nate indeed," said the latter, " because I have left
my'other in Yorkshire.---i The Officer, it seems,
had lost a leg in Egypt, and his servant thought that
in 'town his master would only require one cork sub-
stitute.

The MeMoirs of a Traveller now in retirement are
understood to, be the produelion of the .venerable
Mr. DUTENS, the same Gentleman whose name fre-
quently occurred 'in the Correspondence between
VOLTAIRE and the King of PRUSSIA forty years ago :
the' is the Author of the well-known work on the
Ancients and Moderns, and the Editor of the works
of Leibnitz, published at Geneva so long, since as
the year 17G2.

Saturday morning a young man, named "Batson,
undertook, for a wager of ten guineas, to walk from
the Standard, in Corohill, to the West India Dock,
at Blackwall, and back, the distance being exaaly
six miles, in the space of one hour, which he com-
pleted in seven, minutes less than the given time.
Saturday two women were charged at. the Hat-
ton-Garden Office, with assaulting a Gentleman in
Copenhagen-fields, on Thursday evening, and rob-
bing him. of a gold watch and seals. They were com- •
mitted for re-examination., There was another wo-
man in company, who has not yet been taken.
On Tuesday, at Shavvfield, near Dumfries, two
hives of bees swarmed at one time, and lighted on,a
tree, where they cordially remained several, hours,
and then went off together for about the distance of
a.mile, and being followed, were found on an old
hive, sitting on opposite
,sides, in separate, commu-
nities., They wele' then put into two hives, but -not
seeming to like the separation, they again joined,
and now live together in one hive in great harmony.
