the subject of the eichaoge of. Prisoners.

It appears from the late Paris papers, that• very
considerable bodies 'of French troops have been
moving towards the North Of Germany ; the objeet
of these movements is not staled in these -papers,
but they have created much speculation on the Con-
Ainent.

We have very'recently seen a letter from
a very intelligent Gentleman on the Continent,
which state,, that the piing of Prussia has been
aul.linenting his miliiary force, until it has
reached a height that has attraited the novice of:
livoNAraaTE. The letter 'adds, that some tempo-
stramx;s have been made to the Court of Berlin
upn the subjea, by the French Minister. Con-
t,ldlfting the very feeble state of the Prussian
Monarehy, we should be very much inclined to
doubt the statement contained in the Le‘tter. The
recent connexion between France and Austria may
indeed have alarmed the Emperor of Russia, and
have led to some arrangeMent with the Court of
and the movement of the French troops to-
wards the North of Germany, gives some appearance
of probability, to the conjedture.

\ Much as we detest the political. conduct of. Mr.
.
WARDLE, we 'really begin.to feel some compassion
,forbun; his situation is truly pitiable. His former
;!.
fiiend, Mrs. CLARKE, has exposed' all his artifices
and all his manoeuvres, and his Constituepts have
marked their disapprobation of his conduct, in die

most unequivocal manner. The Address from: the
Borough of Qakhativton to His Majesty appeared
in the, Gazette of ..aturday last ; it expresses. the

strongest indignation: againstthose mischievous and
misguided men who have attempted to bring the
, -
Legislature into contempt, and as a still. further

proof of the dissa!'sfadion which the Inhabitants' of
Oakbanyton- feel at M. WARDLE'S conduct, they
direded that. their Address 'should be transmitted by.
their oilier Representative, SitvtLe.. '

A.rePeri eras yesterday circulated, that an en-
, gagernent had taken- place between the British and
fleeis in .the Mediterranean, .but we have
.every reason to believe that it
-is wholly unfounded;
certainly no intelligence to that effeat has been' re-
ceived by Government: The Toulon fleet has been
for some time ready for sea, bit vve 'fear' that there
is but little reason to hope thai it will venture out of
port. •

His MAJESTY and Princesses ALIGUSTA and SO-
PHIA, with their attendants, on Saturday rode in
Windsor Great Park till twelve o'clock. In Ihe al-
.ternoon the Royal Party visited Princess ANHLIA.

.DUN'I3AS' and "BATLEY, arrived ,ai Wihcisor, arid
waited:on Princess AmELI, where they remained
all night, and on •Saturoay. morning. returned to
London. Her Royal Highness remains much the
same, not worse.

An American Gentleman, who some days since
arrived in town from Rome, reports that the ty-
ranny and extortion of the. French excited Continual
insurrections throughout the Papal Sates. During
the month of May, from tweetir to thirty lielsons
were sometimes shot in a morning ; but the reserit-
ment, of the people continued stronger than their
fears, and these executions only rendered them
more vindictive and enterprising. Vast•numbers of
Frenchmen had fallen. Stlcetti, the relative of
Buonaparte, and his unprincipled agent at Naples,
&c. some time since. died suddenly at Rome, as is
supposed from poison.
BY intelligence'from.Gottenburgh, of the 16 h of
June, we learn that Sir JAMES SAUMAREZ' had re-
ceived orders not to interfere with the Swedish
coasting trade, .and to release all vessels engaged in
that service under the proteCtion of the Swedish flag.
The Hibernia,. Captain BEDFORD, arrived at
Portsmouth, has brought accounts from Cadiz to
the 14th ult. fourteen, days .liter than the 'previous
arrival ; but nothing of importapce'had transpired.--- The French were i•
carrying on their operalluils with
great perseverance; but froth the nature of cir-
cumstances, the siege of Cadiz is' likely to prove:A.4
very protracted service. They had just eretted bat-
teries that Would oblige our ships to t,nove thq
anchOrage, farther from Cadiz; and cOnsequently be
more exposed to weather. Two more Slianish ships
had:arrived,with specie froth cite Spanish Colopies.
There were "fourteen sail of Spanish line-of-Witte
ships at Cadiz ; tWeiVe of them, are ready for'sea
(ext,eptiti in men), and two with their masts out.'

,S. H.. LINZEE, sailed for England, on the 'l3th ult.
with transports, having the remainder of the
French prisoners on board that were at Cadiz.
—We are happy to learn, that that 8114) lost none
of her officers-or crew in consequence of the general
infection _that .spread itself among them, atising
from a quantity of quicksilver, saved from. a .wreck,
running-out of .the casks, which in a degree sail--
vated the men. Lieutenant COUSENS, who lost his
left leg.ar one of the advanced batteries, came home

During the late celebration of the grand annual
festival of the Hindoos at 'Benares, some tumults
took place, occasioned by the 'mutual antipathy of
the two great religious Seas, manifested, on the
part of the Mahominedans, by an insult offered to an
Hindoo procession, and which was not quelled with-
out die interference of the legal authorities. About
200 lives were lost in the different affrays. , •
