Lord KEITH has returned to the Downs in the Mo
Ilmten, after having waited the fquadron off Bou-
logne, and made his °Venation* upon feveral parts
of the enemy's coat.
The Dutch fleet in the Texel is whiny prepared
to put to fea, and from tome demonarations that it
has lately made, fuch an attempt was confidered by
the mod experienced officers in our blockadingiqua-
dron as momentarily likely to take place. The clic-
patches which were brought to the Admiralty on Sa.
tura'', are fuppofed to contain important intelligence
refpefting the defigns of the hoilile fleet in the Texel.

Two Hamburgft 'mails arrived yefterday. They
do not confirm dm account before received of Ruffian
troops baying been landed at Copenhagen. They
11 mention the appearance of a Ruffian fleet in that
quarter, but Rate there were no troops on board.—
The fleet confill. of nine fail of the fine, and fevers'
frigates.

It reams now extremely probable, that Axixasola
will loon declare openly his intention of refilling by
force the ambitious projeas of the French ruler, and
we may loon expel his R eet to co-operate with ours.
Indeed, we know that at this momenta great num-
ber of water-cafks are preparing at Deptford, for the
Ruffian fhips. At leak Inch is the belief of the of-
ficers there refpeding their intended ufe. It was at
one time intended to fend about too of our coopers
to prepare the calks in the ports of Ruffia, the Rut.
flan artifans being very defdlive in this kind of work t
but it was after wards judged better to prepare them
here, and keep our workmen at home.
It is alto currently reported, that on Satnrday or-
ders were fent to Chatham to prepare for victualling
a Ruffian rquadron.
Accounts from Germany Rate, that the Ruffian
Chargé d'Affaires at Paris, M. d'Ouaatr., had given
in a Declaration f►om his Court, infifting on the eva-
cuation of Hanover and the Neapolitan States, and
an indemnification for Sardinia, &c. This is very
probable. Thefe are the points of detail which the
Mathew peevilbly alluded to in a late article, as hav-
ing been brought into dircuilion by Ruffia. In the
temper which the EM►saoa of Russia has lately
'fbewn, and on the fyllem which he has teemed to
purfue, there points of detail will not be fo eaflly
abandoned, or allowed to °cep, as they have hitherto
been. If they are rejeaed, as they are likely to be,
the Era's aoa of Russia will make there, and other
grounds of complaint, againit the French Emperor,
the rubjed of a Manifetin. It was reported thlt
M. d'Ousait had quitted Paris; but no mention of
that fad is made in the lama foreign journals.

It is dated, but with what truth we know nor, that
the Court of Vienna labours to reconcile the differ-
'Mtn between France and Rana. We donht this ;
r.t ledd it would be very difiniereled. Au!ilia, ac.
cording to the common feelings of States, would not
b: furry to fee Fiance and Kafir, mutually weak:a
ing and haralring each other, while fie herielf was re.
pairing her leas; and recruiting ker ftreogth..
It teems that fregolnt conferences take place at
Vienna Law= the Ftench AmbatEador and the Im.

perial Waiflen on die (tibial of recognizing t.;e
perial dignity of Narorami, which the Im,rerial R.
man Court (as the German Gazettes call it for dif-
sialion) has not yet done.
The giro and QVIN of Swarms were to fet ont
from Munich on their return home in the courfe of
this month.

A letter from Warlaw, of the ph, at length men;
lions the plot to affaffinate bins XVIII, and Oates
that his Prutfian Majefty has gi% CP orders to exAniine
into the affair in the drifted manner. On the other
band, a letter from Leiptig hates, that on a more
drift examination the whole has been proved an in.
vention of the billiard-tahle keeper and his wife.
Mod people. however, will be inclined to believe the
latter a fabrication for the purpole of removing the
odium from the French name ; for i: is inditimtable
that the Pruffian Officers, at Warfaw, were guilty of
a breach of duty, in not taking up the butinefs and
arrelling the Cul-petted perfuns when application for
that purpofe was made to them. If they do not clear
themfelves, the King of Pruffia Ihould remove them
from their places with Come fignal expreffion of his
aitpleafure. We mud obferve, however, that it is
libelous and fcandalous to involve the Pruffian
Court, particularly the King, perfonally in the dif.
credit of the late affairs at Warfaw, fince it is impof.
fible that M. M. Horn and This could have sided
by any fpecific ioltrultions. As the matter now
Rands, they are grofsly culpable in refuting to invef-
tigate a mondrous crime, Co formally and by fuels
high authority denounced to them.
Accounts from Italy of the 9th date, that part of
Lord Ne Limes fquadron was blockading the harbour
of Genoa ; and that an attempt was to be made to
dedroy three (kips of war, built there for the French.
We hope the enterprise will prove fuccefsful.
The report of the capture of one of the Huge:
Wands, by Lord Nassoa, is not confirmed.
The Turkith Empire is again diftraded in the Bad
by the Wechabis, under the conduit of Abdul We-
ambit Con. The fanatics, meeting with but feeble
refidasce, may become very formidable to a political.
body, falling to pieces from its own weakacfs. Egypt
Rill remains in a diftraded date, Syria Is the hens
of rebellion. lfrael Pacha. the providonel ihcceiTor
of Dgesaar Packs, of Acre, rehires to yield up his
authority to Ibrahim Pacha, who bits been appointed
by the Porte.
On the fubjea of invalion we find little in the fo-
reign papers, sad that little of courfe a near three

weeks old. It is Rated that the Err Altal Nereasow.
previous to his leaving Boulogne, on his tour along
the cod!, told the troops that they were to bold them•
Pelves in readinefs to emba-k on a minute's warning.
They were gratified at the fame time with a donative
of a few days pay. It was reported that Bomar ARTS
would not return to Paris till the grand expedition
bad been fent off, The general belief, however,
was, that every thing vas ready. Three weeks, wa
know, have fince elapfed, and nothing dope. 411sto
the nor samt's movements, whether he be mil on the
oppofire coati or hes returned to earls, doesnot fees°
to be afcertained.

It was reported yenerday that an embargo had
been laid in the ports of Holland, to prevent our
Government from receiving intelligence of the failing
of the expedition, and that they were in expedation
of an attempt being toade without more delay. It
certainly is very pollible that it may be made, and
precaution &Quid be taken accordingly.

An Artillery Company is now forming, to be at-
itched to the Royal Marines.

Tuefday Taft the celebrated caulk io which Mr.
Hurc MN% is plaintiff, and Lord BANTRY is defen-
dant, was heard at Cork before the Hon. Baron
SMITH, and a very retpeoft.:id jury. It is a par; and
parcel cafe, and mutt theretore be tedious.

An overland packet from Bengal was received ye
terday, at the EaR India Houfe. It is dated eight
days later than that brought by Col. Hoomror, but
is not fuppoied to contain any news of importance.
The arrival of the (hip Euphrates at Madras, is con-
firmed. The packet is charged with duplicate; of
former difpatches.
The Ayr re um: e. which convoyed the outwards
bound China Fleet, carried a letter, accompanied with
fuitable prefents, from his Melasyv to the Emperor
of Crime, which are, no doubt, intended as the over
ture for a future emhafTy to the Court of PAUL—
Many prejudices. it feems, formerly entertained in
that country agiiinft the Cngli(b charafter, have been
removed fince the fplendid embaly of Lord Meceiti-
mbr, and we have long been the favoured nation at
Canton. The benefits that would arife to Great Sri-
Lain, from a commercial treaty with that extenfive
and populous Empire, are incalculable.
Acco•ints from Calcutta, dated in May lag, late,
that the French hare been endeavouring to influence
the King of Ave againfl the Englith ; but failing is
los, they then exerted themselves to obtain a I tile-
ment in an aUvantageous fituation on the coati of
Pegu, under a pretence of prepating a cimmodione
port for their trading v-Bets on the reltoretion of
peace, which they formally der! imd to be in contem-
plation of the powers of Europe. Both their pr.•p•lals
were tejared, and tome important particulars re-
freetin,c them communicated to the Government of
