Did of Angouleme set out for the South

lam, The object of his jnurney is to receive a
""isib army of 50,000 men, arrived on the frontier,

i• ns at present in c.intemplation. Fresh troops,
motion to those mentioned in arty last, are oil
M • march for Lyons ; the disturbances existing its
itTvatter have been ficcesioned by the arbitrary
Tops taken levy troops; for, notwithstanding the
dolisfuneat of the conscription, the conscripts of
1814, wise had not joined their corps, have been
0801 into service in several Deparments. In the
skim of these hostile preparations, the Papers have
Togsm-4. orders to contradict the warlike reports in
cisslition t elaborate articles .on the subject will
fly appear in 011 of them. The Regent's speech,
sited yesterday morning, has made a great sensa-
tipiehe vague terms is which the continuance of
Fos is alluded to, tending to confirm the general.
001 An of approaching war.
There is a report that Pozzo di Borgho lately
/moved an autograph letter from the Emperor of
basia, which he was instructed to communicate to
j Ling. The Emperor observes therein, that his
majesty has created Overt), and discontent among
bla subjects, by tolerating the introduction of British
mothandize. He recommends the adoption of the
mmrequitable and independent system established in '
Omer States, and offers his protection for that pur-
ple. He expresses the fear that France, cramped
her resources, may be unable to Lelia her engage,
mots, a circumstance which must be attended with
manifold inconvenience. Whether it be in- consc-
egoence of this letter or not, several seizures of
British merchandize have within these few days taken
?lice in the c..pital.
The French Papers state, that Fondle is gone
from Dresden to Prague. The fact is, that he is on
his way to Vienna, and that too by invitation.—
Marian politics give much uneasiness here. Fat-d-
-efier umbrage is taken at the distinction with wnich
the offspring of Napoleon is
treated, both by Monarch
sad people. The Empero: is pouring trolls into
Italy; the Government of Turin is arming for the
French, or rather Bourbon interest. These general
smainents rouse even the Turkish lethargy; very
considerable levies are making by the Ottoman
Campanile."

Yesterday, at four o'clock, the Cashiers of the Bank
began.to pay the amount of Dividends to the Bankers,
Merchants, Agents, and Brokers. Their lists amount
to the sum of seven millions and upwards, the greater
part of which will, it is expected, be invested in the
Funds during this and the ensuing week.—The Coiu
missioners for liquidating the National Debt received
this quarter their Dividends on £12,510,905. 2s. 14.
Consols, also on £306,000 New South Sea Annuities,
And on £51,009 three per cent. 51 South S.:a Auntii-
ties: the amount is £2,625,7U9. 12s. 74. which will
purchase in the next quarter, at 65, about £4.,400,000
Consols, which, with £750,000 of unclaimed dividend
money, and £140,000 of the lottery money for the
prite; Will probably cause a rise in the price of the
Funds.

• The beloved FanIMNAND" has enacted that the
regulations which ei.sted before the war respecting
the Export of &kill' Cloths to the Colonies, shall be
put in force. In other Words; no more British cloths
an be sent to Spain for that Trade, as the old law
allowed only one-third (paying the regular home
duties) to be shipped, and r.quired the other two-
thirds to be Spanish manufacture ; but the. revolu-
tionary suspended entirely the operations of the Spa-
nish looms—Spanish cloths for the two-thirds cannot
by procured, consequently the other third cAtuot be
shipped, and the colonists must go without either the
tile or the other. Daring the war, on account of the
*ant of Spanish cloths, British, after being nationa•
&Wu the Customs house, were allowed to be ex-
Ported to the Colonies to the exteat of the whole
dtimind.

In another part of our Paper will be found some
interesting particulars of the approach of a large
array of the Ashantees, a nation of the interior of
Africa, toward our s4tlement at Cape Coast Castle.
This event, from %%Lich, when the first accounts ar-

f;ied, time serious apprehensions were entertained, I
seems rather likely to lead to results of a favourable
nature. The Ashantecs are a powerful Nation, and
some years ugo visited tie Coast wish an army of up-
wards of 100000 men ; but have for several
,years been prevented from trading with Europeans
by the hostility of the tra4ntees, and other nations re-
siding in the neighbourhood. Their present expedi-
lion, therefore, by opening the path into the interior,
may not improbably be attended with very important
commercial advantages, great quantities of gold and
holy being protiumd in the AbitAntee country. May

r..

means may arise of facikititing. that great !fork, the
progressive eislization of the. African race

A Letter from Alexandria, dated June 7, sAYB

to 104) dollars per acre,; a small house 400 dollars

We may add to this, that there is a universal stagna•
Lion of trade, and thousands out of employ. Distress

We are happy to state that it was some time ago
announced to the Establishment of the Princess
CL~ANLO:TU of WALES, that her Royal Highness
espects they will wear in future only British manu-
factures.. An order was at the saw.* time sent to her
dress.maLers, Scc. not to introduce any thing foreign
into articles prepared for the wear of het Royill
ilighntss, on pain of incurring her displeasure and
hetng no longer employed.

Yesterday Dr. Batc.Lte attended the Princess
Citaitt.o.rTE, and we have the pleasure to say, pro.
nounced her Royal Bigness much better, but
.desired
aer tse. fiept.perfectly quiet. ?-Her Royal Highness,
in consequence, did not leave her room.
We are happy to say the Duke of GLOUCESTER has
recovered from his indisposition, and rode out yester.
day at three o'clock on horseback. In the evening

House.

miltonplace, on Sunday, for Cheltenham, from which

the grand file at Carlton House on Friday—aim
which he will return again to Cheltenham. His Grace
4rtived at Cheltenham about half-past rix on Sunday

evening, accompanied by Lord F. SOMERSET. Their
approach was most unexpected, his Grace having a
strong desire to enter the town as privately as pus.
sible ; but he was iastanily recognized, and welcomed I
by siiouis of—" WELLINGTON for ever l"—from kun-
divas of specta7ors. Ch..itetiliani was all gaiety;
colours flying, be:ls r:riging, and nothing but joy
expressed in ev:ry countenar,ce.
Lord LasKl?a, acco:J:ng to report, is about to re-
sume th SJals, which air to be resigned by Lord
&Dos. It will be tecollectef, that the former Noble
Lord did not speak once, during the List Session of
Parliament ; and a chan,ze of w ind is usually pre-
ceded by a cairn. The other rum-ailed changes in
Administration are those, which we mentioned, some
days since.

A oetaine.—.;:l'his interesting Tragedy, like Ber-
tram, presents 4s with an honourable effusion of Hi-
bernian talents, being the production of Mr. SLIM,
a young Barrister of much promise; who, with grate-
ful gallantry, has dedicated his labours to his lovely
codutry-wornan Miss O'Neal.. who, it will be recol-
lected, surpassed her former greatness in pourtraying
the character of the heroine.
At Lady JERSEY'S late entertainment, a man in a
good evening dress 'and of a tolerable appearance,.
cadre to the door, out of a hackney-coach, and having
announted himself to the servant as Captain Kelly,
was permitted to go up stairs, with the usual repeti-
tions of his supposed name. On approaching the
door of tie ttall.room, he stopped, 4,n a pretence that
his shoe.buckle was loose ; and, affecting to find great
difficulty in laittning it, he desired to be shewn into
some separate apartment. This was done by the
servants; he was shewn into a dressing-room, and
was descending from that to leave the house, when
the servants suspected him, know ing that he bad not
been in the principal apartments. He was searched,
and a silver inkstand of her Ladyship's being found
upon him, he was taken to the watch-house by
Lavender.
At the Countess Of SHAFT/SWIM'S Ball a HMI
fashionably dressed sent up his name as General Gore
or Gower, and actually entered the ballroom. In
such a company no person with the rank of General,
could long remain without being known to some one.
It was observed, that he did not present himself to
the Lady of the Mansion, nor speak to any person.
The suspicions of the company soon became app.'.
rent to him, and he left the ball-room, but not the
Meuse. Search being made for him, lie was found
concealed in one of the apartments under a sopba.
We have not heard that the Police Officers knew him,
but he acknowledged himself to be an impostor.. As
he had taken nothing, lie was diuniated.
