To Mention all the rumours that *ere circulated
yefierday afternoon would be an ufeiefs labour,
efpeciallt as almoß every one has been proved to
be falfe ; we may; however, be allowed to gate a
few of them, as they had &eh an ere" on the
public funds as to raik the prke off' the 3 pet
cents. before the dole of the market, to 63i.
The Telegraph was at Work for part of the
morning, and a Meftege bad been annonneeti at
coming when a haze (tor the communication.--6
The latter'eircuniftance, however, was not gene.
rally known : of courfe the prevailing opinion was,
that iatilligence of come kind had Cottle, and the
public expedation was ready to Liken to any pro•
bable rumours. It was reported in the City that
Mr. Srorsstse had arrived in Paris in 38 hours
from London ; that his difpatches being comma-
nicated by Lord Wm irwoaxis to the French GO.
vernment, his Lortithip had been told that the
CHIEF Consul. could not immediately give his
anfwer, but that he would convoke his Council,
and take their opinion.—lt was Paid too, that to
take off the refponlibility from himfelf he had laid
the whole matter before the Legidative Body (it
would more probably have been the Senate) which
had required firfi 24 and then 48 hours to delibe-
rate. It was pretended alto that the Municipality
of Paris had petitioned for peace, and that the
Peifirduhad demanded it. We jut notice there ru-
mours without attaching credit to any one of them.
A report too was mentioned in the Houfe of
Lords, that BONAFALTE had been thrown out of
a carriage, or overturned, by which he had been
much bruited, end rendered unable to attend to
bufinefs.
Tbi teport Rated, that as he was taking 11131 f.
ing in his auricle oa Monday LA, in the neigh•

bourhood of St. Cloud, the horfes took fright, and
the clavicle coming in contad with a bank, he was
thrown lout with much force, and very feverely
bruited in different parts. On being conveyed
home, he was ['dud with a violent expectoration
of blood, which continued for feveral hours, and
his (tate was fo alarming, that it was deemed pru-
dent to avoid, for fome time, making any official
communication to him—a circumftance which, if
true, mxy in Come meafure account for the delay
of the anfwer to the difpatches of our Government.
We cannot, however, vouch for this report more
than for the reit.

All that is certainly known is, that Mr. &taw,
the Mellinger, had arrived at Boulogne with •the
ordinary letter-box on Wednefday morning laft, at
9 o'clock, and having delivered it to the care of a
Captain of a bye-boat, proceeded immediately to
Calais, where the Duchefs of DORSET had arrived,
and where be expeeed that Come new difpatches
might arrive from England• to be forwarded to
Paris. &LUSTS& reached the French capital on
Monday, at noon ; and on the following morning
SHaw let out for Boulogne.—Lord WHITWORTH
bad not left Paris on Wednefday morning, but was
expeted to let out in the courfe of that day, if the
full and unequivocal conceffion of Bo AAAAA re was
not immediately obtained to the Britith demands.
• The King, who propofed leaving town after the
drawing-roon yefterday, altered his determination
in confequence of the non-arrival of the Mellen•
ger, and will remain at the Queen's Houle until
be receives the final difpatches from France. Gen.
ANDRIOSSI is,at prefent, Lord WHITWORTH'S IL/.
dow. He did not go to Court yefterday, becaufe
Lord WHITWORTH did not appear at the CHIEF
Consues Levee s-sn Sunday fe'nnight ; and he
prepares to move from London the moment Lord
Worrwoarst moves from Paris. The Batavian
Minister is ANDREOSSI'S fhadow, and goes only
where he goes; of courfe be was not yefterday at
Sr. James's. The Spanilh Minifter was, however,
there, and in cafe of war we fuppofe Spain will
attempt to remain neuter.
Admiral Coesswactis has embarked to take
the command of the Channel Fleet, in Torbay,
and every, the most warlike meafure is taken.
Ministers and their friends regard peace as impof-
lible, and every thing is in readinefs for instant
boftilities. Orders to commence them will be dif-
patched to all quarters the moment it is known
Lord WHITWORTH has left Paris.

The great queftion of Peace or War Rill remains
undecided. Every thing continues in a Rate of
the utmoft doubt and anxiety as to the tura
which public affairs may yet take. At half
Taft one this day, neither Courier nor Mellinger
hadarrived to the Frenchor our Minitters. It there-
fore mull be pret:y obvious.that the Clue c cum of
the Esc luny ia cannot have it in bis power to bring
down any Official Communication this evening.—
Preparatory to any Mirage being tent to the Com.
mons, a Privy Council muff be affembled ; and,
W any important intelligence arrive in the courfe
of the evening, allowing time for the Council to
deliberate, and alto for the neceLu7 produitions
of papers, it is hardly poffible that any communi-
cation can be made before to-morrow at the forma;
and perhaps the Houfe may not fit to-morrow.
We mould however obferre. that a little before
one o'clock, Government received a notice of tome
kind by the Telegraph from Deal. It is rumoured
among diplomatic people, that it announced, that
a 'ail, with Lord Weirwoa re and his fuite on
Scant, was within fight of Dover, at twelve
*lock this day ! If fo, the queftion as decided,
and Minikes know the event ; but it cannot be
.xpeaed they will make a pofitive communication
afore a Meffenger bring aaual difpatches.
Another Telegraphic clifpatch was received a
;tile before two o'clock—of what nature has not
ranfpired.

Dolt-- On Wednefday evening a meeting
nok place in Epping Fora, between Lieutenant
of the 48th regiment, of Park•lane, at.
cnded by Captain S—L, of the Foot Guards;
and J. L—r, Efq. Cbarlotte•Rreet, Portland-
,lace, attended by T. C. T—s. Efq. of Lin-
oln's Inn, to decide an affair of honour. The
,arties took their ground, and fired together
without injury ; and a perk& reconciliation was
hen effeSed by the interpofition of the feconds.

We yellerday received New York papers to the
td of April. They contain very little news. The
iblie anxiety refpeEting Louiliana has for the pre.
,nt fomewhat fubfided, and the refs& of the ne•
zociation in Europe will be expeeted before any
hing be done. It is Rated that Laussar, the
irtfea of Louillana, had arrived there, but it
was unknown whether he would exercife any au-
hority till the arrival of the expedition.
Tfie Commercial Adrertifer, of the sd of April,
ays, 4, Captain Citowsi.t., of the fchooner Eliza
Inne, informs us that (caecal trarfports, with
roops, had lately arrived at Cape Francois. Some
icconnts reprefent the whole of the reinforcements
o be to,ooo.—The feat of Government was to be
emoved to Port Republicain in a few days after
2aptain C. failed, at which time the Negroes were
ranquil. Captain C. left Cape Francois the tyth
March."
