The advices from Egypt, contained in the riemra
article, brought by the Mail, do riot come down
later than the period when MENOIS had requested
an Armistice for three days. The next Mail will
probably I.)ut us in, possession of the Articles of the
Capitulation 9f that Fortress, if Government has
not already received an account of them. Events
nearer home, have now however diverted our at-
tention fronl this quarter of the world, which was
lately, from the success of our arms, so interesting
;o Englishmeh.
The reople of the T4atavian Republic do, not
appear tp, bave been inveh disturbed by the change

operated in their Political Constitution. Aother
change is spoken of in• a more Southern Country ;
and Gevort, if we may believe an Article from
that place, is soon to return to its antient form of
Government, under a Doge and Senate. No part
of the South of Italy indeed, appears to be in a
very tranquil state, and the Neapolitan Territory
is represented as greatly disturbed.

Lord HAWKESBURY, with that laudable atten-
tion to the public anxiety for which Administration
is distinguished, sent the following letter to the
LORD MAYok, immediately on the exchange of
the Ratification having taken place

TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE LORD

Gentlemeu Gentlemen ! " (the populace
,gave
his Lordship three huzzas) let me request
,you
to be as orderly as possible ; and if you are deter-
mined to draw tlze Gentleman, Accompani,!d by M.

turn the carriage."—The populace assured his Lord.
ship they would be careful of, and respeCtful to the,

Gener4d LAURESTON is a handsome young man,
of a florid complexion ; he seemed very much
pleased at the manner of his reception, and came to
the window in St. James's-street, to make his
acknowledgements. He was dressed in a blue jacket
trimmed with gold, a white waistcoat, and black
stock; after he came into RED9rsu's Hotel, he sent
out ten guineas to the mob to drink.

A Morning Paper has the following article re-
spetling the Bearer of the Ratification of Peace from
France. •

" M. LAUR ESTON, who brought over the gad_
fication of the Preliminaries, is, we believe, not a
General, but a Chef-de-Brigade, or Colonel, in the
French Army. He is, we understand, a lineal de-
scendant of the famous MiSSissippi LAW, a Gentle-
man of an ancient family in Scotland. The father of
M.LAURESTON was well i nown in the East Indies as
ayery at-live Officer in the French service. He was
a Count before the Revolution. The estate of Lau.
reston, from which this Gentleman (we suppose)
takes his name, is within three miles of Edinburgh
and i€. we mistake not, M. LAU RISTO N is the heir
of the property (not very considerable), df agree-
able to the laws of the country he is capable of hold-
ingit. If he is the repreentative of the family of
LAw, he has the best title to the estate. We v_
prebend, from some circuminces, that he is not
aware of this, because we happen to know that very
lately difficulties had arisen respeding, this estate,
owing to the claims which tie representatives of
LAW might have to it. Nay, we know that those
interested were very anxious to ascertain what
had become of LAw's family, who were settled in
France."
The Duke of ORLEANS and the Count of BE AU-
JOLOIS arrived at Dumbreek's Hotel, Edinburgh,
on Friday sennight,
On Saturday evening the Westminter Volunteers
assembled in the King's Mews, and fired a feu de
Aye in honour of the Peace. The crowd assembled '
in the Mews was immense ; and at the conclusion
of the firing they gave the Corps three cheers.—
After the firing, Colonel ROBERTSON thanked the
Corps for their uniform steadiness and attention,
and begged they would attend, as usual, until the
pleasure of Government was known.
Several Volunteer Corps have already disbanded
themselves ; although we rejoice that there exists
no probability of their services being again re-
quired, we trust for a long period, we still hope
that these Patriotic Associations, whose appearance
has powetfully contribved to the maintenance of
of
.tranquillity, will continue embodied, and by
occasional meeting, Manifest that they are toady to
support the constitutional authority whenever their
services may be required, ,
Saturday Mr. LocKE's ship of 'zoo tons, to be
commanded by Capt. CHARLES EATON Pit Esco-ry,
esteemed a chef d'a'uvre in Naval Architeilure, was
launched from Messrs. PE RR y'S Yard, at Blackwall,
and named the Ahrwick Castle. More than 300
Ladies and Gentlemen were present on this occasion,
