Yefterday Paris Journals to the 23d infl. inclu-
five, came to hand. The news they contain is not
of a pleafant nature, for they announce the cap-
ture of another Britifh (hip of 14 guns, the SwITT-
EORR, Capt: HALLOWELL. This capture teas made
by GARTHIAL/Sia'S fquadron, on the 24th of June,
betwten Candia and Egypt. On the morning of
.that day, the French fquadron defcried the (hip,
and a general elt4ltbok place, in Which the lupe-
riority of their failing eflabied the enemy to come
up with her. The Indiviflble and the Diz.Anut
engaged her for an hour withiri Inisfquet That, after 1
which the that. To fight fothrtibr a three for
in long a time is pionf fufficient that the Bivar-
sulk was no eafy capture; but we cannot conceiie
how this veffel, Admiral BICKERTON'S flag-(hip,
fhould thus have been found alone. GAN-
THEALIME manned his prize with detachments of
tailors from the reit of his Iquadron, after giving
her the neceffiey repairs. The French (late their
lots as very fmall.
From the latitude in which GANTiIEAURIE was
at the time of the anion with the Sir; Frames
there can be no doubt that he was on his way, or
was teturning after the attempt, to relieve Melon!,
on one point or other. The date of the aaion,
which was the 24th June, however, leaves the re-
port of his having landed at Derna queftionable,
unlefs he was dub upon his return, which is not

impoffible ; for it,is hated that on the 4th of July,
a veal from Briftol, going to Egypt, was taken
by him. Should this prove to be fa& it Teems
probable that the rrepch Admiral may have land-
ed his troops (Otte where on the coal of Africa,
and left them' to find their way to Alexandria or
Cairo, in any manner:they can.
We are extremely forry to find that Admiral
Laois will .be able to effea his efcape from Al-
geciras tof-adic. On the gth July the Spanilh
Admiral Waste°, with five (hips of the line, and
the ' French Admiral DUSIONOIR, with fevers!
French Nits, 'arrived in the Bay of Algeciras to
join Laws, and convoy him with his prize to Ca-
diz. We fear. shat.the fquadron we have at Gib-
raltar will not he fnfficient to oppofe this combined
force, partietthuoly of the-(hips arbor Sir J. SAWN*.
a E z's command-have rut/erect fo Much in the late
• aaion as the Moniksr reprefents. The Posting it
Teems was the veal which was refcued from fall-
ing into the hands of the enemy by the gnn boats
from Gibraltar. She and another are raid to he
abfolutely unfit for ferries, and the reit were injur-
ed fo much that they were towed into Gibraltar.
We- confers that the efcape of Admiral Laois
has dilappointed us. We did not imagine that the
Spaniards would hiye sfifplayed fo much promp-
titude in corps so the'rellef of their Allies: Nei•
thee did we thin& that the reit of Sir Janes &tonn-
es z'S fquadron had been fo much damaged, though
to clear up this, and all the circumilances of the
a9ion, we art very impatient for our own official
accounts.
The /Irmiteerhas again come forward to contra•
diet a number of reports, Which have been circu-
lating on the Continent, and once more agues its
readers that there is not the leak probabilky of the
renewal of the war. The rumours of warlike pre-
parations in the Imperial Dominions or in. Italy,
on the tide of the French, &c. &c. are declared to
be falfe. Even the report of hoffilities com-
mitted by the Auferiatu againft the Eleaor of
Bavaria in the Upper Palatinate are declared
to be without foundation, though that invafion,
mentioned its all the foreign papers, certainly
took place. AU there rumours are Imputed to the
machinations of this country, and the Moniteur takes
occafion to throw out a number of refleaions on the
condor; of this country in blowing the flames of
war, which arc not in the fpirit of peace but en-
tirely in the fpirit of certain Papers here.
The French Entirety to Vienna is now officially
appointed. CNAMPACINT Counfellor of State, and
formerly an officer in the navy,. is to be thd Ant-
balrador. The quarterly lilt of Counfellors of
State is publithed, in which there are a few altera-
tions, General Sr. SUSANNL and MATNISU Du-
mas, author of the Precis At: avenentost tali:air", are
added to the War Department; and Botanical,
• &NA AAAA a's private Secretary, is made Counfel•
hor of State in extraordinary fervice.

This morning we received the Paris papers of
the ssth init. but they bring hardly any thing in
addition to what we have already noticed.

The Hamburgh Mail due yefierday, arrived
this morning; and the news which it brings, if it
could be implicitly relied upon, is of great impor-
tAnt.2. We have had the mortification to be obli-
-14,:d to record the fuccefs of the enemy in captur-
11,z two of our chips of the line; but letters from
ViLamt, of the t ith infant, bring reports of our
104 wader the athw and :game ADMIR4I. Sir JOHN
BOILL4IIII WARltalt, having, captured GMITNIAUMCS
areseirets, confining of (even (hips of war and fume
traufports.

WC know not well how to§appreciate news given
without datei and full 'particulars, but we (ball
hope there is fume troth in it : we (bould übferve,
however, that the Yenned de Faris of the 23d,
iLites, that Gall T time' has arrived at Toulon,
after landini; jobenstn within so leagues of Alex-
andria ; but onl-he other baud we mutt moat that
tee• ilifettitew, which we have received ass d■y
Lter, makes a mentions of his rears.
