No farther intelligence than that which we yes-
terday gave, has been received from Lord NEL.
soN7---It will be seen from our .Falmouth arti;le,
that it is not only from the Flotilla under his Lord-
ship that the Enemy are to look for danger: it
was expected that an ,attempt would be made by
Sir EDWARD PF.LLEW'S Squadron to destroy the
Enemy's. Squadron, lying at R,ochefort. The force,
is stated to consist of Six Sail of the Line, one of
them carrying an Admiral's Flag, and several Fri-
gates.

As this Paper was about to be put to Press, we
received, BY EXPRESS, Paris Papers to the 7th inst.
-They contain a long account from Guada/o*,
of the proceedings in that Colony, which come
down to the 4th of July. We find little else in
these Papers "remarkable, 'except a rise in the Tiers
Consolid6 of 4. per cent. The last price is 48.

The Hamhurgh Mail of Wednesday had not ar.
rived when our Paper was {tit to Press.'
Yesterday .a Court of • Dire&ors was held at the

now under dispatch, were sived., • ,
The Court adjourned at six o'clock,, when the
Scrutineers of the Annual Eletaion dined with 'the'

On the tgth,and 20. th instant, Mr. SAYER, of

solely for the purpose of fetching bread from Can-

the inhabitants there at 31-d. per. quartern loaf un_
der the usual price ; Tor which bread he had a quick
sale, and not only,well paid himself for his trouble,.•
but gaine4,the esteem of the people in general (ex-
cept the Bakers) at Margate; as the said' bread cost
him only r3d. per quartern loaf at Canterbury,
and was sold by him at Margate for 15d. and at
