DEAL, AUGUST 3.

Arrived the FLYING Ftsu schooner from the fleet
cif' Flushing. Came down from the River three sail
of outward bound and remain. Sailed the POIMEA
East Indiaman for Bengal—Wind S. W.

A report prevailed this morning on 'Change, that
a Flag of Truce had arrived from France, but we
could not trace it to any authentic source.

Further extracts from the French Papers will be
found in another pail of our Paper. Appearances
denote a renewal of the campaign, but not in the
North. Italy seems to be intended as the theatre of
a new war, and the Bavarian army is described as
being in motion and in a high state of equipment.—
The French Empress is on her wav to join her bus-
band.—The tlivate accounts from Paris, contrary to
the French Journals which lately indicated a General
Peace, speculate diffusely on a Continental Peace, un-
der the impression that Great Britain will not be in-
cluded in the arrangement ; and in the French capital
Colonial produce had in consequence risen 15 per
cent. in the interval of a few days. The letters from
the French seaports are, however, very sanguine, that
a General Peace will be the result of the Congress. I
There is still a brisk demand upon the Continent
for Colonial produce, as will be seen by the follow-
ills; letter :

" HELIGOLAND, JULY 29.

" Twenty-five ships have arrived here from Swe-
den, and our Market is in consequence more brisk.
Coffee and sugar are higher by 10 and 15 per cent."

Preparations have been made at Chatham Dock-yard
for the reception of his Royal Highness the Duke of
CLARENCE, as Admiral of the Fleet, who was expect-
ed there this day, accompanied by the Russian Am-
bassador and suite, when it was understood the whole
of the Russian Officers were to be presented.

Extract of a letter froth the fleet off Toulon, dated
June 6 :—" On the 2d of June, a Court-martial was
held on board his Majesty's ship OCEAN, off Toulon,
Rear-Admiral ISRAEL PELLEW, President, on Lieu-
tenant JAGO, of that ship, on charges of repeated
drunkenness; which being fully proved, he was sen-
tenced to be dismissed his ship. On the following
d.ty, another Court-martiil was hald on board the
s Inie ship, on Major For, of the Marines belonging
to the OCEAN, on charges of drunkenness and disobe-
ctience of orders ; which being also fully proved, he
•-as likewise dismissed his ship.—On the 3d of June,
Is.lut.ounvE joined the fleet off Toulon, having
Admiral Sir RICHARD KING on board, from Forts-
mouth.—During the last week the French fleet have
been obierved to venture farther out to sea than they
have ever been in the habit of doing before ; but as
soon as the English itiet stands in towards them, a
few of their ships lie to, until we arrive within gun-
shot and an half of them, and then crowd all sail
into Toulon."

When the last accounts left Quebec, letters bad
1-4-en received from :Sir JAMES Yiw, of the Bth June,
:axing that he had dispatched the ROYAL Gsonoz
and MOIRA. in pursuit of the enemy's boats, retreating
.•7ith troops after Colonel VINCENT'S affair of the 6th,
at Burlington Heights. -One batteau, full of men,
bad actually been taken, and hopes were entertained
that our ships would come up with the others. Sir
JAMES, in his own ship, had cannonaded one of the
enemy's camps on shore, at the Forty Mile Creek,
and forced them to retire.'

Yesterday a free pardon from the Panetz REGENT
-.—: received at Newgate for J. Nar h, lately a grocer
Newiqate.street, who was capitally convicted at a
late Old Bailey Sessions of a forgery on the Bank.
