- Advice was this day received at the India-House,
that thi following outward-bound ships arrived at the
Cape of Good Hope the 21st May last, viz. CEYLON'
AITELL, SIR HOGH INGLIS, and WILLIAM PITT. We
are sorry to add, that intelligence had been received
at the Cape of Good Hope that the Bellone, Minerve,
and Victor, French men of war, had sailed from the
Isle of France on a cruize in the India Seas.

The Gazette of last night contains extracts of dis-
pitches received yesterday at the Admiralty from
A.lmiral Sir CHARLES COTTON, respecting the cap-
ture and destruction of some of the enemy's vessels
in the Mediterranean.

We understand that the dispatches from Sir
CHARLES also announce that the DEY of ALGIERS has
declared war against France ; and that, as a proof of
his friendly disposition towards England, the whole
of our ships taken by the Algerines are to be imme-
diately restored. The Declaration of War took place
on the 29th of May. The French have evacuated
the Island of Fanu, to the southward of Corfu, which
has been taken possesion of by Captain GRIFFITHS of
the LEONIDAS.

Paris papers to the 7th instant arrived last night,
from which the following are extracts :

PARIS, AUGUST 6.

M. Daru, Intendant-General of his Majesty's
Household, has set out for Holland.

ST. PETERSBURGH, JULY 10.

Government has received, within these few days,
numerous trophies taken from the Turks, such as
st.►nds of colours, horses' tails, &c. Nothing„ how-
ever, official has been published since the taking of
Silistria. General Kamensky is said to be advancing,
and hopes are entertained that he will obtain a com-
plete victory over the Grand Vizier.
We are assured that a commercial house in this city
has advanced two millions towards the loan that is
just opened.

Her Majesty the Empress is rather indisposedsince
her return. Their Royal Highnesses the Princess
Antoine, of Saxony, and Princess Theresa, who ac-
companied her to this place, have returned to Dresden.
VIENNA, JULY 25. ,

Their Majesties the Emperor of Austria and the
Emperor of Russa have concluded a treaty for the
retoration of deserters on each side. ' The relations
of friendship,' says the Emperor of Austria, which
fortunately subsist between us and his Majesty the
Emperor of all the Russias, and the disposition that
exists on both sides to cultivate sentiments advan-
tageous for both empires, have induced us, as well as
his Majesty the Emperor of Russia, to enter into a
convention for delivering up deserters.'
The Court Gazette still observes a profonad silence
respecting the Russian and Turkish armies, and the
reports in circulation are not sufficiently authentic to
attach any credit to them. It is therefore adviseable
to wait for further information, to avoid the risk of
being contradicted.

Mr. Adair has announced in a letter to Sir Francis
Berry, the British Consul at Smyrna, that he is about
to leave Constantinople. Notwithstanding the care he
takes to conceal it, the embarrassment of this Minister
is evident. We ask ourselves why he leaves Constan-
tinople at a moment when their faithful ally, the
Grand Turk, finds himself hard pushed by a Power
that threatens to overturn the Ottoman empire.

AMSTERDAM, JULY St.
A guard of honour is enrolling at this moment in
Amsterdpi, where we hope soon to see his Majesty
the Empetor. . A register for this purpose has been
opened at 'head.quartess, and a number of young

men have already inscribed their names. A meeting
is to take place on Thursday for chusing the officers,
and fixing the uniform that is to be worn.

A Gentleman who arrived from Spain on Monday
states, that the desertions from the French army have
not been•exaggerated. They are principally Poles,
Germans, &c. and the number would be much greater
thart it is, were not the French natives deterred from
foteking their ranks by the relentless revenge of the
Spaniards, who destroy them without mercy when
they fall into their hands. In the hour of battle this
is the kind of treatment that ought to be inflicted on
all invader, let them be of what country they may;
but it is.highly impolitic not only to withhold induce-
ments to desertion, but to adopt a line of conduct cal-
culated to second the exertionsofthe enemy's common-
ders in keeping their troopsfrom scattc ;ng. The Gen-
tleman alluded to mentions, that at the time of his
departure from the Peninsula, a large transport was
proceeding to Cork with a great number of fugitives
from the camp of the enemy.
The following is an extract of a letter from Ilene-
carlo, at which place we understand the visit of the
French was so short, that they had not time even to
levy contributions :
" The French are at Morilla, within about eight
leagues of this place ; but they are not in considerable
force, it having been found necessary for them to send
a great number of troops to the westwar.; of Castile,
to increase their strength in that direction.
" Notwithstanding the shameful treachery at Le-
rida, and the noble but unsuccessful defence of Me-
quinenza, the Catalans are more active than ever to
give effectual resistance to the enemy."
In the absence of any new advices from Spain the

following letter regarding operations in the South of
the Peninsula, received by the last conveyance, ntay
prove acceptable

u CADIZ, JULY 2S.

" The French Army before us, as near as we can
calculate, amounts only to 15,000 men, having been
diminished by large drafts from them to increase the
army of MASSENA, who is threatening the English
with a great battle. Other matters remain nearly in
the same situation as they were a month ago.

4, We hear that several deserters of distinction have
arrived at Gibraltar from the French Army, among
whom are said to be two Captains and a Lieutenant-
• •
Colonel.

46 General LACY has not altered his position, re-
maining in the mountains, near St. Roque, nor does
he intend to commence hostile operations until he has
organized a strong force. Five thousand muskets
have been sent him from hence by way of Gibraltar.
gg The peasantry in Andalusia, taken in the whole,
may be considered excellent soldiers for the kind of
warfare they have to carry on, but the French keep
themselves in close quarters. There are about 30,000
of them ready to annoy the enemy wherever he makes
his appearance."

The following is an Extract of a Letter, from Mr.
BARTLETT, Who was wrecked in the ATALANTA fri-
gate, on the French coast, about five years ago, and
has been ever since detained as a prisoner of war :

GIVET, JULY 26, 1810.

" I am happy to inform you, that our treatment is
much ameliorated ; and we have, at last, the prospect
of a speedy restoration to liberty. Every obstacle
that has hitherto impeded the regular progress of the
exchange, we are well assured, has been overcome. It
has been to us a most tedious and irksome negociation ;
and, since its commencement, many a gallant fellow
and brave officer have been lost to their country for-
ever !---worn down by the corrodings gre, and
heart-sick at seeing no reasonable terminttio'r their
captivity, they have sunk into despoaincy. and paid
the debt of Nature.—On the other hand, those who
have a constant supply of cash at their command
may here revel in luxury, and have every enjoyment
they can require: but France, with all its beauties,
has no charms for me ! With yourself..,

" I own the secret power
Of local prejudice: and he whose mind
Feels not attachment to his native soil— ."‘
Who sometimes thinks not on his once-tnAlr--1
And to whose view the limner Fancy paints *
No picture of his native hills and dales,
Is to our nature's noblest feelings lost!"

" Many of our men have married, and are settled
here ; and I understand it is generally the case at the
different depots throughout France.
g, We arc assured, that as soon as the arrangements
for an exchange are finally adjusted, a negociation
for carrying on a limited trade between Great Britain
and France will commence ; and I assure you, that
there are very general expectations of peace between
the two countries entertained here.

4, I expect next week to set out for Morlaix, which
is 500 miles from this, accompanied by some other
companions in misfortune ; and I trust it will not be
long after our arrival there before we embark for
England."

The young Prince of ORANGE is making a tour of
the North. On Wednesday last he left Edinburgh,
and will return to town the latter end of next month.
The Duchess of GORDON is now on het way from
Dublin to London.

Kijor-General KENNETH ALEXANDER HOWARD, Of
the 2d, or Coldstream Foot Guards, is placed on the
Staff of the Kent District.

Captain CRAWFORD'S company of the Royal Artil-
lery marched from Dover on Saturday last, on their
route via Maidstone, &c. for Portsmouth, to embark
for Ireland ; at the same time Captain MAURY'S com-
pany marched from the Artillery depot near Canter-
bury, to supply their place at Dover.
_ _ _

Saturday and Monday, the 91st Highland Regi-
ment of Foot marched into Canterbury from Rams-
gate, and yesterday arrived at Ashford barracks.
The 52d Regiment of Foot has marched from Ash-
ford to Shorncliffe barracks.

The Berkshire Regiment of Militia marched on
Monday and yesterday in two divisions from Yar-
mouth to Norwich.

The Stirlingshire Regiment of Militia are ordered
to occupy the barracks at Ramsgate.

Lieutenant-Colonel 'AMC, of late Royal Irish
Artillery, his been appointed Brigade Major of the
Yeomanry of the County of Dublin, in the room of
Major-General C 1102211, resigned.
The 2d battalion of the 61st Regiment are arrived
at Omagh, from Newry, to do duty there.
The following is a statement of the British force
in Sicily, at the latter end of June :
lit Battalion 10th Foot Ist Battalion 44th Foot
Ist and 94 Battalion 27th Watville's
let Battalion 58th De Roll's
lit Battalion 69d Dillon's
lit Battalion 81st Chasseurs Britanniques.
At Malta—the 241 Battalion of the 14th, Meurou's, and the

Sicilian Regiment.
At St. Maur, in the lonian Sea—the 55th Regiment and de-
tachments.
Colonel BARCLAY, who so gallantly commanded
the 52d regiment in the late action under General
CRAUFURD, while in the act of issuing orders to
Major Napier, had his bat shot off, and his horse
shot under him.
Some accounts of the skirmish in which Colonel
'Luxor, of the 14th Light Dragoons, was killed,
stated, that the body of that lamented officer had not
been found ; but a letter received in Ireland from an
officer of the 14th, dated Puerte de la Conception,
July 11, mentions that the body had been brought
in, and buried with military honours.
MILITIA. —A ballot is shortly intended to be made
for completing the regular Militia, And the parishes
which shall not before the Ist of October next raise
the number of men required of them, will be subject
to a fine of Je4o for every man deficient ; but the
15th Section of the Act enables Churchwardents and
Overseers of the Poor, until the Ist of September
next, to raise men as volunteers, who if enrolled be-
fore that period will bu entitled from Government to
a bounty of ten guineas each, and the men so raised
will be entered as raised for the parishes for which
they shall be provided, and in discharge of such pa-
rishes from ballot. It is therefore extremely desirable
that no time should be lost by Churchwardens and
Overseers in raising men for the militiaoand thereby
taking advantage of the bounty offered, and avoiding
the fines in cases of deficiencies.r It is to be observed,
that the men so provided will not be deemed to be-
long to the parishes for which they shall be raised as
to any relief of their families, or thereafter supplying
any such vacancies.
Saturday last, a soldier was convicted in the penalty
of 20s. for stealing a quantity of beans out of the
grounds of Mr. P. H. KEMP, in the p trish of St. Mary
Bredman, Canterbury, and in default of payment
thereof, committed to Bridewell, to be kept to hard
labour for the space of two m'nths.

On the Ist instant the RAVEN sloop of war, whilst
cruizing off Blakenburgh, picked up a small boat,
with four French prisoners on board her, who had
made their escape from one of the prison-ships at
Chatham. They had been at sea four days, without
any thing to subsist on, excepting a few ears of wheat,
and were consequently nearly exhausted. They ef-
fected their escape by slipping down the seat at the
head, and swimming on shore, where they took the
boat and proceeded to sea.
On the 20th of June, a detachment of seamen and
marines, belonging to the ALCESTE and ToPau,
brought out and destroyed seven vessels of the enemy
from the bay of Martino, in the island of Corsica, af-
ter driving the enemy from two strong forts, burning
the magazines and spiking the guns. In the perform-
ance of this service one man was killed and two
wounded.

Extract of a letter from a Gentleman on board the

Fingal, of Belfast, dated at Gibraltar, June 27 :

" Just as we were entering the Gut, a heavy gale from the
eastward obliged us to stand for Cape Spartel, on the African
coast, where we came to anchor. Two passengers, Mr. Robin-
son and Mr. M'Gilligan, and myself, with four bands, went
ashore in the boat. We had not been long ashore, when the
Moors came down and fired on the boat. M'G. one man, and
myself were at this time a little up the country, but alarmed at
the firing, ran down to the beach, when we perceived our com-
panions rowing off, and we were obliged I. conceal ourselves
among the rocks all n.ght. At daylight, we were surprized by
the Moors coming down upon us, so that our last effort was to
swim off to some fishing boats, which lay about a mile and a
hall from the shore, which l accomplished after being about an
hour and a half in the water; Hut I am sorry to say, M'4Jilligan
sunk alongside of me; the man tcft behind, we suppose, has been
taken prisoner ; one .of the boys, named Andrew Adams, was
shot on the beach."

Extract of a letter dated Messina, June 21, 1810:

" I am at present in the Citadel of Messina; it is an immense
fortification. At this moment I have a full view of the enemy's
amp; the mountains of Calabria are covered with huts and tents.
We bave daily deserters coming over, who all agree the enemy
have a very large force to bring against us. They ate constantly
employed in bringing down boats every night, along the coast from
Naples ; keeping, at the same time under their batteries, and
bringing down troops to prevent our destroying them. We took
and destroyed about 20 of them a few days ago, full of ordnance
stores sad guns. In this attack we lost one of our gan•boats,
which was one of those chances of war we must expect. We may
soon hope to hear of a further destruction of the enemy's craft, as
an expedition is gone out against them, consisting of two-line of
battle ships and some gun-boats, with a part of regiment
on board. Our troops have severe duty. They turn out at two
o'clock in the nsornlng, and remain under arms until we cas
clearly distinguish the enemy on tin opposite coast."

Mondy last the Duke of ALBUQUERQUZ, Admiral
AJODACA and family, Mr. CEVALLOS, Mr. and Mrs.
AIELLA, Mr. RUIN, and all the Gentlemen of the
Spanish embassy, were elegantly entertained by the
Rev. Pr. CO&LINS, at Southall Park, on the occasion
of his appointment to the dignity of Chaplain of Ho.

3RIGH7ON, AZIGUST 14.

LY OF THE PRINCE OF WALES'S BIRTIt.
DAY.

Yesterday, the Anniversary of the Prince's Bird,
was celebrated in a most brilliant manner. Between.
twelve and one o'clock, the crowds of carriages at
all kinds, but chiefly barouches and coaches with four
horses, exceeded all we ever witnessed on any former
occasion.

The day was fine, though windy, and the appear.
ance of the immense concourse of beauty and fashion
together with a line of troops extending nearly the
miles, on ground which, though sloping and varied,
displayed the whole extent from the heights in ene
view, was uncommonly magnificent. The Patna
and all his Royal brothers, except the Duke of Su:.
sax, ascended the Downs, about four miles from
Brighton, before one o'clock. He mounted his white
charger in the uniform of the 10th : the Dukes of
YORK, KENT, and CAMIRIDOE were also in uniform;
the Dukes of CLARINCIL and CUMECRLAND, in plain
coats. The Panscz was accompanied by more than
2000 Noblemen, General Officers, Ladies, and Gen-
tlemen on horseback, as all the ladies and gentlemen
on horseback joined the royal cavalcade. The carriages
ranged in a line opposite to the troops, and the ladies
mounted on the roofs, driving boxes, and dickies._
The horses were generally taken out, and, as we have
stated, every carnage almost had four horses; for a
lady of the slightest pretensions to decorum could
not be so inhuman as to go such a distance as four
miles with a pair. The PRINCI passed the whole
length of the line, and then returned to the centre,
where he, his Royal brothers, and Staff dismounted,
and the troops fired a jilt de joie. The fire run along
the whole line three times, and from its long continu.
ance had an admirable effect. Their Royal High.
nesses then remounted, and took a station on a beau.
tiful level nearer. Brighton, and the several regiments
marched past him in companies. They amounted to
9700 men, and of course it occupied a considerable
time*. The horses, generally speaking, stood the
firings much better than had been expected. We are
sorry, however, to observe, that one or two accidents

did take place through the restiveness of the Dra.
goons horses, in keeping the ground clear to a certain
space in front of the troops—one woman had her
head deeply wounded ; a horse which had reared,
having alighted with his fore feet on her head and
shoulders. But it is not expected, we are happy to add,
that either this, the severest misfortune that hap.
pened, or any other, can lead to •a fatal termination.
-- It was four o'clock before the review ended.

The company then returned to Brighton, and the
Steyne was crowded till near six o'clock, when the
Noblemen and Gentlemen invited to dine with his
Royal Highness at the Pavilion retired. The fete
concluded with a ball and supper at the Castle, which
was splendid.
Above 800 Ladies and Gentlemen were present.
The PRINCZ and brothers, with a considerable part of
his dinner party, entered the rooms about 11 o'clock,
when his own band welcomed his approach. His
Royal Highness conversed with the ladies for about an
hour and then retired. The Duke of CLARENCE took
the chair in the principal room at supper. Tables
were laid in six or seven rooms, and even with all this
accommodation the company could only sit down by
installments. The supper consisted of warm soups
and every delicacy of the season, such as pine ap•
pies, grapes, ittc. Dancing was resumed, and we
left the rooms in high conviviality at a late hour yes-
terday morning.
• A correct List of these Troops was given in our Paper yesterday.

Wednesday morning, a female, about 50 years d
age, who had come to the Bootb.hall Inn, in Glou•
tester, the preceding day, by the London coach,died
suddenly at that house ; and no traces were found
about her person that could lead to a discovery who
she was, or whither she was travelling. She was
booked at the Bolt and Tun, Fleet•street, in the name
of Jackson.

A female servant, in cleaning.an upper window at
Mr. Carter's, shoemaker, in Blackfriars-road, on
Monday, stepped 4nl a garden pot to reach her object
with more facility, which slipped from under her,
when she was precipitated into the road, and killed
en the spot.
Sunday afternoon, at Faversham, whilst the corpse
of Mr. John Hunt, of that place, dredgerman, aged
61, was at the ground of interment, attended by his
wife and the rest of the family as mourners, Mrs.
Hunt, through extreme-afßiction, was taken suddenly
ill, and, lamentable to relate, expired in a few minutes.
Tux BITERS BIT —Several publicans at Chippen-
ham were lately annoyed by a posse of common in-
formers, and ultimately convicted in small fines for
selling beer in unlawful cups ; but just as these qui
tam gentry were hugging themselves at the g;orious
idea of getting halt the penalties, it was discovered
that these very honest and loyal men had no :tans's: in
their hats. They were theretore in their turns con-
victed, and being unable to pay the penalties attach-
able to their offence, were committed to Devises
Bridewell for three months!!

A Newsman, residing at No. 2, Crane-court, Fleet-
street, on Monday, at Guildhall, charged Surat
Wood, his servant, with having robbed him of a 'Ts.
piece and a shilling, He stated, that having missed
several articles, and suspicion having fallen on the
prisoner, he determined to put her honesty to the test.
He therefore marked a 7s. piece and a shilling, which
he placed in his bed-room, prior to his going to church
on Sunday. The prisoner, during his absence, was
employed in making his bed ; and on his return, the
money was missing. The prisoner was immediately
searched, and the money found in her pocket. The
Officer who searched her also found several dupli-
cates of articles which had been stolen from her mas.
ter, but as these things were not produced, the Ma-
gistrate remanded the prisoner.
Yesterday Margaret Porter was fully committed
from Whitechapel Office, charged with stealing a
watch from W. Goodwin, a waterman.
WORSHIP4TMT.—Yesterday a hackneycaachmsn
was convicted on a complaint exhibited against him
by a Lady, for demanding more than his regular fare,
and for using foul language ; he was fined in the pe-
nalty of 40s. and costs, which he paid.
A drover in Smithfield was, at the same time, con-
victed in the penalty of 110 s. for ill-treatment of a hut-
lock he was driving in 01d-street Road, by beating
it over the legs in a cruel manner : not paying the
fine, he was committed to the House of CorrecUoo•
