This morning, at half paa fix, the Right Hon.
RUBBLY DUNDA9, accompanied lay Lord Hawass•
BURY, left town, for Windfor, to 'attend "a miry
Council to be holden by his MAJESTY, for the purpofe
of appointing a commillior. to prorogue the prefent
Seffion of Parliament.—The prorogation will take
place this afternoon. At the time our Paper was
put to prat, however, neither Lord Hawitessuav
nor Mr. DUNDAS had returned to town.

We this morning received Paris Papers to the 6th

inaant.

An army of 40,000 French troops is collecting on
the frontiers of Portugal, for the avowed purpofe of
_ _

compelling that Court to (hut out the Biitifb from
their trade. This is what has been long expcaed.

It is worthy of remark, that, in the fpeeches and
additires made to his Majefly, on the occalion of his

return to Paris, there are no rancorous or inveterate

expreflions againft this country.
The Paris Papers Rate that the late Cardinal
York has bequeathed to the King of Sardinia jewels
to the value of four millions of francs. The Cardinal
has alto folemnly declared, as far ax a Pretender can
declare, his Sardinian Malay to be heir to the Crown
of England and Scotland, and bequeathed, the Royal

?HE EXPEDITION. • •

It does not appear that Government have received
any Official Accounts of the progrefs of the Ex-
pedition farce the al, when Admiral Gammas. was
fleeting with a fair wind for the Great Belt. It is
noneceffary, perhaps, to add, that the Great Belt is
one of thofe paffages into the Baltic by which the
Danilh Catlles are avoided. The Belt, however, is
full of danger from another caufe i—the water is
Outlaw, and fo thick fet with rocks, that no [hip ever
ventures to pafs, unlefs under the guidance of a Danith
Pilot, and in very favourable weather. It is, there-
' fore, one difappointwent, that our Expedition has not
been able to prccure any of thefe guides from the
1 Swedith Ports.

BAYONNE, JULY 24.

In part of our irapreflion of yefterday, we thud
that the Britills Teel* bad been fuddenly ordered
away from Tonningen. The convoy from the Hum-
ber, under orders for Tonningen, has alto been coun-
termanded ; and yelierday intelligence was received,
that the Commander of the Sparkler gun brig, lying
in the Eyder, had given intlruttions to the following
veffels, on the 7th inllant, to proceed immediately
to Yarmouth :

For London... The Jane, Dundas ; Tucker, Richardfon ; Mere
curius,Thomfon ; and the Providence, Lawfon.
For Yarmouth—The Sir Charles Hamilton, Cochrane.
For Dublin—The Salerno, Dudgeon ; Stewart.
For Hull—The Brothers, Coleman.
For Leith—The Pomona, Dick; and Eliza, Edmunds.
For Liverpool—The Sparkes, ; sod Rebecca, Dye.
The Fame, Econet, with fcvvral other rads from Touningen,
are arrived in Yarmouth Roads.

Of thefe, the &ft three, for London, and the Sir
Cha►les Hamilton, for Yarmouth, have their outward
bound cargoes on board.
It is fa ppofed that Tome very pofitive information,
refpating the intentions of the French, mull have
been received by the Conful, to induce him to order
the immediate departure of there veffels. The vici-
nity of the enemy certainly jultifies the precaution,
whatever inconvenience may refult from it to thofe
concerned.

Yefterday a Cabinet Council was held at two
o'ck-ck, which was very fully attended. Immedi-
ately after it. riling, STEPHEN SHAIRP, Efq. of How.
land-fircet, was ditpatched upon a fpecial miffion. to
the Court of St. Peter (burgh ; and we believe he left
town late lan, night. The objeft of Mr. SHAW.%
million is kept a profound ferret, but it is whifpered
that it is of a pacific complexion. Mr. SHAIRP, if we
recolleCt right, filled a diplomatic fituation, with much
honour to himfelf and advantage to the country, for
feveral years, as Conful General at St. Peteriburgh.
It is alfo reported that Mr. JACK sos was fent for
the exprefs pirrpofe of accepting the mediation of
Raffia, in the name of his MAJISTY. When notice
