FROM THE PARIS PAPERS.

CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY to.—The Allies have
for rome dAy s pall been forrowful and ill-humoured.
All this prelages no good news to the Anglo-
Turkifh Army. The Grand Vizier, it is whifpered,
is defeated. The Campaign is confidered as at
an end, owing to the heat and the inundation.—
We hope that an exchange of French prifoners
will take place, thanks to the meafures taken by
the Ruffian Minifler ; he has obtained the removal
to Conflantinople of all thofe who had been fent
to the Cailles of the Black Sca, &c.

FR•AICKFORT, Auc. .-A private letter from
Con fiantinople, dated July 9, (peaks of a great
Kittle near Cairn, between the French and the
Turks and Englifh.
A letter from Vienna, of the 2d of this month,
announces the fume news. It was brought to
Lord t 4: wro by a Courier from Conflantinople.—
Tt wac on the 23d June, that this battle took place:
t was warm and bloody. With refped to the
;Cue, as the two letters offer different accounts, we
11)211 abflain from laying any thing on the fubjed.
HEit4. Auc. t2.—Whilfl the news from
Cotillantir.,.ple, of the gth July, fpeaks of a battle
on the 2.3 d of June, near Cairo, the Prague Co-
ette &pi the rd, announces the paffage of a Courier
by that city to London, with the news of the

City of Cairo having ferrendered to the Englifh
on the 17th June.
An Aug(burgh Gazette announces neatly the
fame news in. letters from Vienna, of the zd Aug.
It was Lord MINT° who hadfreceived on the ill,
the news from Conflantinople.
Another Paper, the Gazette of Kempton, in an-
nouncing the arrival of this Courier, fays, "That
he left Conflantinople the 6th July, and that his
Difpatehes Rated, that General HUTCH IN so,/.. had
received, in a fortnight, a reinforcement of 700
Englifh."
The illereure Univerfel, of the Bth, publifhes an
article in the following terms We have jult
received the following letter, which we are autho-
riled to infert in our paper :
" I have the honour to announce to you, the
certain news of Cairo having fallen into the hand:
of the Allies. The Official Details upon this ftib-
jee, as well as of the affairs that preceded it, will
reach you immediately."
Note of the French Editor.—Yet Private Let-
ters from Vienna, quoted by the German Papers,
continue to :tart, that on the 3oth of July, Lord
MINTO received Difpatches from Conflantinople,
with the news of the GRAND VIZIER'S Army hay-
, ing been entirely defeated by General &WARD,
and.of his having fled to theDef.trt and Damietta ;•
and after that event, General HurcHlw sow and
the CAPTAIN Pm_ 14A had retreated towards Alex-
andria, where, it was fuppofed, that the Englifh
Corps of Obfervation would be attacked by 14E-
sou, reinforced by the troops landed by GAN
THEAUP4 E. The confeflion of the Franckfort Jour-
nal of the loth, that letters from Vienna and Con-
fkaptinople give contradidory accounts, is worthy
of being remarked.

BERNE, AUGUST 7.—We are now generally
acquainted with the names of the men made choice
of by the Cantonal Diets to attend the general Diet
of Helvetia. If we except the Diet of Berne,
there is fcarcely another but Zurich which has re-
fufed to take the propofed oath. The Members of
the Diet of Zurich pretend that they ought not to
be obliged to take an oath to adopt the bafis of
the projell of a conflitution which they have not
yet received, and which may undergo the greatell
modifications. Since the new explanations which
have been fent by the Government, it is prefumed
that this Diet will no longer hefitate in fubmitting
to the law. Already it has made a choice of fe-
veral men, which announces this difpofition. In
the greater part of the Cantons, the choice already
made is confidered as extremely fortunate. That
of Argon has fixed on Citizen Zimmerman, Mem-
ber of, the Executive Council; Ringer, the Mi-
niller of the Interior ; Rothplez, Minifler of the
Finances. In many other Cantons, the choice has
fallen on men who now, or who have formerly,
occupied places of great importance and trua.
By the exertions of Citizen Andermack, Coin-
mil ary of the Helvetic Government, tranquility
has at length happily been reflored in the country
of the Gnfons. The difiries which oppofed the
reunion with Helvetia have at laa agreed to this
meafure, and are now peaceably occupied in choof-
ing perfons to attend the General Diet. The Ci-
falpine Government has promifed to the Italo-Swifs
Cantons to allow them to import their produftions
into the Cifalpine States, and has agreed at the fame
time tomake an abatement of the prefent enormous
taxes which are payable on all articles of impor-
tation. -

PIaTEILSISURCH, Jove 2r.—The Court Gazette
of this day contains the political sketch of the fi-
tuation of France, publithed in the Moniieur of
the Bth of June, and obferves, that it is remark-
able, and favourable to the tranquillity of the
Continent.

His Serene Highnefs the Duke of Oldenburg
received from the Emperor; on his departurc from
this City, a magnificent fword valued at 7000 ru-
bles. It was
.given to his Majefty by the Emprefs
CATHMUNE

FRONTIERS or Russia, Aticusr 3.—The new
EMPEROR follows with honour the footfteps of his
immortal grandmother. The new appearance
which Ruflia has alTumed within the IA thrte
months, attens that he is faithful to that promife.
The Clergy, and every clafs of citizens reinftated
in their privileges, a thoufand difgraces repaired,
the Senate called on to declare their rights; the
ports of the Empire thrown open to Literature,
Science, and to the Arts; the reins of Government
committed to Read/ rage hands; order maintained
without conftraint ; liberty reigning without li-
cence, and immenfe crowds :of ftrangers flocking
front all parts, as in the glorious days of CATHA-
Iung ;—behold the confoling pieture that our
country prefcnts at this moment. May it never
be changed, but that it may be rather embellifhed;
we have need of a peace, which we already con-
fider as afired with France, and our Minißers at
other Courts have received orders to obferve all
the accuftomed relations with the Minifters and
agents of France at thole Courts. One of the
molt diflinguifhed features in the new reign is a real
economy: hitherto we have not feen any of there
liberalities fo multiplied under the two Lift crowned
Heads, the charms of which are fo reduelive in the
eyes of a young Prince. This economy is the
&It Rep towards the reftoration of our finances,
bat the EMPEROR has proved that he does not with '
to arrive even at this defirable end but by means
compatible with the interefts of his fubjeds, and
the rigid principles of morality.

STOCKHOLM, JULY de NETT F L, OUT late
Charge d'Affaires at the Court of 14indort, it re-
turned here, having paired on his way through
France and Germany. During the Embatgo laid
by the Englith on our ',deli, many of the Swedill
feamen were illegally engaged aboard foreign
(hipping, which is very feverely felt by our trade,
as a number of the Swedifh merchantmen cannot
fail for want of hands. The famous affair of Ad-
miral Count ;Vac 14 St IST! Pl, Commandant of the
Fleet off Carlfcrona, has been finally determined
this day. This Senator is completely acquitted
of the charge preferred again(l him, for not haw-
ing fuecoural Dcnm, k in time. It has been
proved that the contrary winds prevented him
from getting under fail. He has been equally
juaificd for not having obeyed the orders of the

Rpm, in transferring the command from Baron
PAL. F NGUEST to Baron CEDER STRUM. We waitt
this day with the utmoft impatience for the Royal
confirmation of this judgment.
COPENHAGEN, Auc. t.—The Royal College of
Commerce has written a Circular Letter to the
Commercial Authorities, in which they are en-
joined to be extremely circumfped in the diffri-
[nation of pafrports, and to take particular care
that the rules already prefcribed may be fcrupu-
loufly adhered to. No paffport is to be granted
to any veffel deilined to fail out of the European
leas, till previoufly referred to the College of Com-
merce. Vcffels deftined for the Mediterranean
are, notwithaanding, to be an exception to this
order. The Telegraphs ereeted in Denmark are
at prefent completely organized. The Com-
mander, Fisri ER, and the Commiffion of Signals
eftabliflied here, have made known the marks of
latisfadion, with which his Majelly has expreffed
his with to recompence their efforts. An annual
him is to be fet apart towards forming a certain
number of perfons deftincd to this ftrvice.

Laft night Captain LINDo, of his Majefty's (hip.
AZGO, of 44 guns, arrived at the Admiralty, with
accounts of the Ifland of Madeira having been
taken poffeffion of on the zsth ult. by the regi-
ment which failed fome time ago on board the
Aaco. They met with no refiftance.
We are gravely told that they were received as
the friends and allies of the Court of Portugal 1
Perhaps they were ; but, had it been otherwife,
they would Rill have taken poffeffion of the Ifland.
—lt was too good a thing to be left for the Frcnch
or Spaniards.

His MAjirry and attcndants on Tucfday, after
Peeing the Berkfhire Militia mount the King's
Guard, returned to the Lodge, Weymouth, where
a fele& party of Nobility were invited to fpend the
evening with the ROYAL FAMILY. The Queen's
Band played fevaral favourite airs while the com-
pany were prefent.

to fucceed him there.

Mr. SAUMAREZ, brother to Sir J. SAUMAILEZ,
has within thefe few days been appointed to a civil
fituation at Ceylon, worth aood per annum.

Accounts were yefterday received in town of the
death of General Lord ADAM GORDON, Colonel
of the ill Regiment of Foot (confining of four
battalions), Governor of Edinburgh Caine, &o. &c.
The death of this veteran makes feveral openings
of great value to military men, and there will be
a warm contention for the appointments. He was
made a Colonel on the 19th of February, 1762;
a Major-General on the 25th of May, 1772 ; a
Lieutenant-General on the 2111 of Augull, 1777 ;
and a General on the 12th of OCtober, 1793.

of whom were ordered to join the Wellern batta-
lion, commanded by Colonel Sir Wm. SMYTH,
Bart. 84 to the Ealtcrn battalion, commanded by

ing unfit for fervice.
