GRANVILLE, JULY is.

We see the English -ever; day. A cutter was seen
L►tely near the islands of Chausey, by the sun-boats,
which chased her and drove her away.
Some men belonging to this cutter had landed the
night befere in the bay of Mount St. Michael, but
when they perceived the coast was guarded. • -
On Sunday the 16th, three Fr;:nch persons escaped
from prison, landed at Carteret (between Grant lie
and Cherbourg) in a boat they had, they say, seized
in England. W►th them is an . Anglo-American
monk. .

Since the arrival of the Peggy victualler at Yar-
mouth, which we communicated to our Readers on
Monday, no authentic accounts have been received
from the opposite shores respecting the Expedition.
In addition to our statement on Monday, Captain
MILLER reports, that when he left the coast of Hol-
land on Saturday evening, the first and second divi-
sions of the armament were embarked in the boats,
and pushing in for the shore, and about eight o'clock
lie heard a heavy firing. When the Peggy sailed,
Admiral GARDNER was about three leagues to lee-
ward, with eight sail of the line.

If there be a person in this country who is yet so
weak as to believe that the public documents publish-
ed in the French OffiCial Journal, are always givenwith
scrupulous exactness and fidelity, and therefore -en-
titled to be received as authentic records: let him read
the KING'S speech at the.last prorogation of Parlia-
ment, on. the 21st Jnne, 'and compare it with, the
pretended translation of it published in.the Mealiest.
of the 10th July, and he will no longer doubt that
NAPOLEON the GREAT can make himself so little as to
commit forgery
We shall not detain our Readers with renrarks.on
slight or unimportant deviations, but content ourselves
wiz% transcribing the concluding part of the speech
—tliat part which relates to political events, etryl
which in fact is always considered as the essential
part of such communications.—ln the original it runs
thus :
" My Lords and Gentlemen,

" Th.: atrocious and unparalleled act of violence and treachery by
which the• Ruler of France attempted to surprize and to enslave
the Spanish nation, while it kas excited in Spain a determined and
unconquerable resistance against the usurpation and tyranny of the
French Government, has, at the same time, awakened in.other
nations of Europe a determination to resist, by a new effort, the
continued and increasing encroachments on their safety and lade-
prndence.
" Although the uncertainty of all human events, and the vie's.
eirudes attendant upon war, forbid too cenEdent an expectation
of a satisfactory issue to the present struggle against the common
enemy of Europe, his Majesty cor...mar.ds as to congratulate you.
upon the splendid and important SEC,CESS which has recently
crowned' the arms of the Emperor of Austlia, under the able and
distinguished conduct of his Imperial Highness the Archduke
Charles. To the efforts of Europe for its own deliverance, his
Majesty has directed us to assure you • that he is determined to
continue his most strenuous assistance and support, convinced
that you will agree with him in considering every exertion for the
re-establishment of the independence and security of other nations,
as no less conducive to the true interests than it is becoming the
character and honour of Great Britain."

In the Moniteur, the first of the above quoted pa-
ragraphs, relating to the atrocious conduct of NA-
POLEON towards the oppressed Spaniards, is entirely
miited.'—and, instead of giving a faithful translation.
or the other, a new one is fiaricated and inlistitnted
for it, of which the following is 4 close translation
" Aly Lords end Gentlemen,

" The uncerttluty of human events, and :he vicissitnci-..s atteri-
tla.A upon war, do not permit us to give ourselves up. with too
much confilence to the hope of seeing the present contest termi-
nate favot..l!ly ; for we have to contend against an enemy of an
active with whom every thing prospers, and all whose
tae most incredible, are always accompliihed. His
ever, desires me to assure yea, that he is determined
to to aid and support with all his power, the efforts now
mai:LT ley Austria ; convinced that you are of opinion with
tha: v:•:•v measure which tends to the re-establishment of her in-
derc:lLL:nre, iz not less conducive to the true Jute:L.4s 14' Great

u .3sorat•.t to her character and honour.".

Thal dcubt !nay remain as to the correctness of
our !:t.itcrocnt, we subjoin from the Moniteur a ver-
bal ccpy c 1 the forged paragraph of which we have
juA ;ivri a translation:

Having pointed out the above fraud, we wish we
could add, that the Armistice is also a forgery. But
we find from French Papers which we have received
to the 25th tilt. that already some of the articles of
that fatal instrument have beeii executed—Presburgh
Itas been delivered up to the French army, and the
Austrians have evacuated the Tyrol !—Private letters
from Holland go farther : they state, that prelimi-
naries •of peace between France and Austria have
actually been signed.
JOSEPH BONAPARTE is returned to Madrid, and, we
are told, accompanied by the troops which followed
him towards the South, the flight of the insurgents
having rendered their presence in Estremadura- and
La Mancha unnecessary!
From t'i'le same Papers we have given some inte-
rzsting documents respecting the new order of things
established at Rome..
