LONDON, JULY 2, rBor.

PRIVATE adv ices were this morning received at the
Admiralty, from the Captain of one of our Frigates
cruizing off the Coast of France, of an account having
been given by some French Fishermen, of Three Sail
of Battle Ships and a Frigate having been captured
in the Mediterranean, by an English Squadron,—
We sincerely hope this account may prove true.
Letters brought by the Lisbon Mail which
arrived this morning, state the conclusion of
Peace between France and Portugal.

THE Hanrburgh Mail clue, cm Sunday la'st,arrived
this morning. It has brought us, in the Vienna
article, the account from Constantinlile of the
_Sur=
render of Rahmanie, which adds, that Alexandria
had also offered to Capitulate.

The Vienna article also states the substance of the
important Note delivered, to the French Govern-
ment by the Russian Minister ICALlTscluir,. rela
aye to the KINGS of. NIArLEs and SARISINI4. the
object of which is to obtain for those Monarchs the
re-possession and security of their Dominions. This
Note, which is dared above tlr.vo months, ago, not
having been answered by the :French Government,
KALITSCHEFF had presented a second Note, in
which he had resumed the Aubjeet.
The intelligence from the North of Europe, is as
favourable as possible. .
It appears that. the apprehensions entertained in
consequence of the movements of the French Troops
on the Rhine, have subsided.

In the Packet which brought the Mail, arrived
M. MottattE, Secretary to Lord ELGIN, who
cane in twenty days from Constantinop/e to Cux-
haven. The Dispatches brought by him are not
so recent as those belbre received, they being dated
on the 3oth of April last.

WE this morning received Paris Paprs to the
3oth ult. Their contents" are so completely unin..
tcresting, that we are able to seled nothing but the
following articles
There was on the 24th ult. at the Palace of
the Thuilleries, a dinner, at which the Count of
LEGHORN, and Cardinal GoNsAt.vi, the Count DE
SCHOcr, Captain of the Gres di Armes of the KING
of PRUSSIA, sat at table by the side of the Chief
Consul, together with the General Officers, Pre-
feds, &c.

General MACDONALD, who goes to the Court.of
Demmark as. Minister of the*,'rench Republic, reach-
ed Strashicrgh on the 22d Ult.
The Marquis di GALLo arrived at roma on the
ult, on hiS return from Paris. HO had on the
same day an audience of the Esitr EROR, to whom he
delivered Letters from Count COBENZEL. He re-
mains at Vienna in capacity • of Ambassador from
Fl 4 Sic iLIAN MAJg'flr.

After having said these Papers are uninteresting,
it is hardly necessary to aad, that they contain
nothing on the sub jea of. the Negotiation, Egypt,
or Pgrutgal. The Moiteur inserts the extrad
from the Madrid Gazette, giving an account of the
progress of the Paucc E of PEACE, but takes ng
notice of the Letters of iVioNnT, or the reports of
Peace. .

Sotit of the Papers of yesterday appear to us,•
to have trotted too lightly the Account of the Peace
between Fiance and Portugal, stateein the Letter
Written by Ge9eraI.MOICNE.T, on the loth of June,
that is, three days :later than the date of any thing
Which has reached .us from the Theatre of the 'War.
The 'intelligence ,its it, agrees perfectly with- the
Accounts frdm Bcurdeaux, which positively stated
the passing through that place of a Courier, the
bearer of advkes:Of this Peace. --The•statemen't of
General Molkslvr, that that Courier was to bring
back the. Ratification of the Chief Consul,,explainS
the reason why Peace. having been concluded, and
the fad known at. Paris, no mention haS4eLbeen
Made of it in the./I.lo7iitc'-ur. It. could not be offi-
eially'announced, while it had still, to wait the R. -
tification or the Chief Conseil, and probably also
that of the Portugueze•Governthent. A few days
must remove all doubfoti.illis`subjea.

We shogid,.biesi4es,b; tempted to hope, that the
PRINCE of PEACE May 'at length be'desirous of ac:.
quiring some right to
.that title;, and it is on this
occasion, that he could obtain it c ith honour
to'his CoUntry and Eo hithself. War appears be-
sides not to. be his demerit, if. we are to judge of
the manner in which he ats 'from that in which he
writes—Who must not have smiled at the ridiculoa-
stile of.his Letter-iii the Madrid Gazette,: inserted
a few days ago, where he. says, that he had sent
the Qv EE N two Orange Branches, taken in the
Garden of Heivas. Sixth gallantry, might, no
doubt have accorded well with the age. of Chivalry,
when the Moors were to be. expelled from Spain,
but does not exaaly suit the man who has concluded
an inglorious Peace, and who has become by it the
tool of the French Republic. In his two Dispatches
of the 6th and 7 th'of June, we, find him saying, for
what Purpose indeed we cannot well:discover, that
if he has Powder enough he avifl fortify Aug-a ella
and Albuquerque. We had always conceived Powder
to be necessary to the atta:k or to the -defrnce,-but-
never to the fortification of a place. If .this ex-
pression he not the efrea of the Most gross sta..
.it.is a plain; and at the same 'time a Most
unmilitarY avowal of the miserable.. state of the
Spanish Army'. Sent forth to Make. the Conquest of
a Kingdom, they are unprovided with a feW barrelS-
of powder to leave in two field lOrtifieations thrown.
up in haste. No parallel can ;certainly .be found
of an Army, colleaed at 'leisure., being so
provided, at leaSt there never yet 'was an ex-
ample.of a. Commander in Chief avowing it.—The
Prince of Peace, little as he, is entitled to the honotd
of' the name, can certainly never .with propriety be
called the
.Prince lrar-7-o,ne merit indeed,' that
of precision,, we shall nor'deny him. He begins
his two letters to his Sovereigh, one, by infOrrning
him that--" It is HOW halfpasi nine in the evening,"
and the other on the following day by saying, "
is six in the'. morning.',' In contemplating the.
exaaitude of this General, we are alMost surprized
that he should have omitted to infOkm us,- of what
hour, he and his ArnO, proposed dining -onibe rains:
of Campo Maggiore.

Yesterday morning the' CHANC E1,1,q11 of the
Exc H EQtY SR, the Duke of VO,R-XLANIi, Mi. CURRY,.
and
.several other Privy
:Councillors, set off for
CuffnellS, to he' present at a Privy Council. to be
held there. It Is probable that• at this Council the-
Duke of PORTLAND resigned the Seals of 'Office-at
Secretary of State, and was sworn in President of
the Council..
