THL'EDAY, JI.Y 2!, 1807.-

Ws received this morning French Papers to the
13,h, and Dutch to the 17th}. , • We have given, in
a subsequent Column, the most interesting articles
of intellence which they contain.

Tuts morning the CHANCELLOR of Excin-
ia.LTEß sold the last of the four Lotteries for the year
tBO6. The Bidders were TOWGOOD and Co. Sir
JAMES BBANS-COMB and Co. and NESBITT and Co.
when Nr.•sslTT and Co. were declared the Bnyers.

The profit to Government upon the four Lotteries,
amounts to near 800,0001. namely, about 600,000 l;
by the sale of the Tickets, .and about 200,0001. by
the Incidents, such as Postage of Letters; Stamps,
Duties on Advertise Meats, Duty on Paper, &c. &c.

\\THF,N we.announced yesterday the failure of the

French in their attemprto take Dantzic by storm,
we at the same time expressed an opinion that we
ke
should soon hear of their having raised the siege..-
Intelligence to that effea has not yet been received,
but letters have reached town froth Rotterdam,
which contain accounts from Dantzic of as late a
date as-the sth instant. They do. not mention the
raising of the siege, but they state that there was an
evident relaxation in the,operations of the French ;
and ,we entertain a confident, hope that they will
soon abandon the attempfaltogether.
A belief appears to be very general in Holland,
that Austria is about to declare war against France,

and a report has even been circulated that Austria
bad -published a Declaration to that •effeet. • Al-
though we have very little doubt of the disposition
cf Austria, we are very much inclined td doubt that
she has yet made any decisive declaration against
France. It is to be recolle&ed, that 'if Austria
should declare War against France, and be • unsuc-
cessful, she would be crazed from the list of Nations :
if she contends again with France, it will not be for
Wrritory, for honour, or for interest; but for existence.
It Z.s thererore necessary that she should a& with
caution. If the War should take such a turn as
would, permit Austria to come forward. with safety,
we have no doubt that she'will willingly do it.

NOTW/TEISTANDINM the declaration made by Mr.
SHERID4N on the Hustings, that Sir FRANcts,BUR7.
DETT was informed of the progress of the Westmin-
ster Flexion on Friday last, We are confidently as-
sured that. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT is still totally ig-
DOP.Qt of the waver, his.ftlends having concealed it.
from biro, as well on account of the state of his
health, as fronvan apprehension that he wonld're-
quire thereto desist from the canvass.. As a proof
that Mr. SHERIDAN has been decei set' in this point, we
refer to the silence of Sir FJIANcis and of his friends
on the Hustings. Surely "if the Baronet were ap-

' prized of the success which. has attended the
pretensions advanced in his favour,. he would
deem it his duty to make some acknowledgment
in the Public Prints to the Elgtors who sup,
port him, or authorize his Friends to do so on the
Hustings. Such a measure would be proper in point
of policy, in order to stimulate the Voters in.his fa-
vour, as well as in gratitude, for the support- he has
already received. We have, therefore, great reason
to believe that Sir FRANCIS IS, on this .occasion,
as he has been on all others, the mere 'stalk-
,r,g-horse of a Party who have amply profited by
his property, and nearly brought him into the grave,
by the great- ascendancy which' they have unfortu-
nately obtained over all his
.principles and feelings.
The ,Eieelori; are consequently kept in a state of de-
lusion, and votes Are given in favour of a man who
despises the House of Commons, and who considers
the Country as wholly unworthy of all proteEtion or
concium.

WF, stated some time ago our opinion that Lord
HOWICK AROllld not venture upon a contest for
Northumberland. That opinion appears to have
been perfethly well founded, for his Lordship has
declined, and Lord -lacY and Col. BEAUMONT are

MAY I2.4—The Persian Ambassador an,
rived the 26th April in the Castle • of IThckenstein.
.The following day he had an audience of the Ernpe
'ror, who on the 28th shewed him twenty battalicinS
of infantry of his Guards, and ordered them to make
several manthuvres, which the Ambaisador .con-
templated with the utmost astonishmenL

On 'the 29th he had another audience of his'Ma-
iesty, who conversed a considerable, time with him
on Persian literature and antiquities. Re is a Gen-
tleman of much information, and assured. the iiinpe-
ror that there exists in Persia Memoirs of th War
between, the Parthians and Romans', andalso a .His
tory of Alekander, which does not agree with
_ours.
The Interpretors having told the Emperorthm the

The Moniteur, :which contains the preceding,.ar-
tide, giveS afterwards a journal of the: Side of
Dantzic, from. the 2.2 d to the 30th April. It there:
by appears, as, is generally the case, that tivi works
have been contiaued by the Besiegers with ,rnore 'or'
less success. The cannonade is kept up on both' sides
with uncommon vigour, and several sorties have been
made. Otkthe 25th, iu the afternoon, Marshal LE-
FEBVRE ordered the firing to cease, and sent his
Aid-de-Camp to summon the place ; but General
KALKREUTU replied, that he should :not listen to
any proposals of that kind until a pr46ticable breach
had been made.

In -the following night the botubarlinent was
kept up with great spirit, and several buildings in
-the town were set on afire,. when it slackened; for
some time : the garrison attempted a s.:,rtie, but
'were_ repulsed with consider4ble.los's.
In the night of the 28th the besiege?' made ano-
ther sally, which was concluded with much skill
and executed with great courage, but our Corps
of Reserve at length succeeded hi repulsing the
enemy.

The floating ice occasioned by it, Was More dao•-er-
