LONDON,

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 8, 1807.

Government, this morning, received Dispatches
from the Mediterranean. The accounts from Egypt
represent that country as being still in a very un-
settled state. The Beys have renounced all obedi-
ence to the Porte, and the latter having been led,
by the artifices of SEBASTIANI, into a War with
Russia, cannot now adopt any vigorous measures for
recovering its authority. The DEY of ALGIERS has
recently adopted some regulations in his Dominions,
highly favourable to the Trade of this Country.

WE received last night Dutch Papers to the 3d
inst. but they contain' scarcely any intelligence of
importance. It does not appear from them that any
aCtion has taken place, tihingh there were reports in
circulation yesterday of the defeat both of the Rus-
sians and the French: We do not, however, give
any credit to these rumours. • The articles which
we have extraaed from these .Papers, thoiigh
dated at St. Petersburgh, &c. , are evidently. of
•
French fabrication, and the rumours of a Nego-
tiation which were so industriously circulated, are,
we have no doubt, intended to pacify the:discontent
Which prevails in the French Army, andta remove
the reluC:tance which the Conscripts have Manifested
almost throughout the whole of France to march,

WB have already stated, thatit is the intention of
Ministers to send a large Force to the Continent as
soon as possible; and it 'is with much pleasure. we
have heard that General STUART, tfle Conqueror of
Maida, is to have the cormnand of the German Le-
gion, which is to form a part-of-the Army destined
for that Service : the German.. Legion amounts at
present to near 18,000 men.

Letters have been received' from Dover, whi^h
state, that a tremendous firing was heard there
yesterday morning from the French Coast, for
which they were at a loss to account.

unl?rstand that the Motion which Mr.
HAND•c!rigillany int.cnded to submit to the House
to-MorroW, was couched in terms so strong, that
Minister's would, .in all probability-, have had an
immense majority against it : and he has been per-
suaded by his friends to soften it down very consi-
derably.

The PLIINCESS of WALEs., we are assured, will be
present at the Drawing-room to-morrow.
Yesterday being the Eighteenth Anniversary of
`the Coronation of SELIM 111. his Excellency 'the
Turkish Ambassador gave an elegant entertainment
to all the Foreign Ministers, and a few of our No-
bilitv'and Gentry, at his house in Upper Berkeley
street.

A new system of Impress Service is about to be
adopted, which, we understand, is highly approved
by the lately-appointed- Lords of the Admiralty, .and
for'that purpose Capt...BUL' LER, brother to one of the
present Lords, is to have the regulation of the same.
By the American Ship Betsey, arrived off Dover
from Teneritfe, bound to Tonningen, we are in-
formed, that an Enemy's Squadron, destined for the
Coast of Africa, consisting of a • Frigate and two
.Corvettes, arrived at Teneriffe two clays previous to
her sailing from that Island, and landed there,.the
crews of two Brigs bound to Newfoundland, which
.had,b en, scuttled.: . ' _

Letters from Stettin, received on Monday, Men-
tiort that riontributidn.of two millions of livres had
.been imposed on the inhabitants of that city. The
pretext for t4iis,enortnous exaaion .was the under-
standing whicJ was supposed to b& kept up between'
the Pria.ian insurgents and some of the pi inoipal in-
habitants.

The Ship . which
_carried the Chinse Settlers to
Trthidad had on board a large. quantity of piece
goods, by, it is `said, the Fivaie permission of
Government': but the na,ai officers Chthrnanding
there Lot being satisfied with the kind of evidence
produced by the Proprietors to this efle6t, seized
.the
si-4) and! cargo, which were condemned, and sold
very much under value, notwithstanding strong re- -
presenlations by the Advocate
_General. In a- few
days after an Order in Cotincil arrived from Britain
allowing the importation, 'so that the loss must ,be.
made up by the country.
In an Ethnburgh Papet,feceived yesterday, there
is an extra& froth Pillau, received by a Gentleman in
Aberdeen, dated the 26th ult, which says, " lam hap-
py to inform you, that the enemy are every where de-
feated. They' are upon the-retreat, and pursued by
the Russian Arrrw. This fortunate event- secures
our convnunication with Britain, whence Ships may,
now come in all safety." •
Another report is also in circulation, that the left
wing of the French Army in Poland was defeated
by the Russians on the I Bth - ult. Such an event,
however, could hardly have taken place at- that date,
wiihout the particulars having been stated in some
way or other in the Journalszaiready received.
WuIG CLUB.—.A meeting Of-the Members of this
Inititution took place yesterday at Freemasons' -Fa=
vvrti ; Lord WI,J.LIAM 4USSELL W;l5 ili the Chair.
At the former meeting a sentiment to the im erriorof
Mr. Fox was proposed, and it was last n'ght con=
firmed 'as one of the standing toasts of the Club:—
Nothing particular occurred at thii meeting.
