"LoNDoN, July THE coronation Of
Bonaparte, it is said, is to be postponed
TO the 9th of November.
Dispatches were yesterday received
from Sir j. b. Warren, at St. Petersburg,
which are said TO be of very important
nature. Whatever may be the result Of
the communications between the English
and the Russian courts, we have no doubt
but they must refer to objects of very ge.
neral interests 10 the states Of the CONT
nent. II is said that IS Russian ships,
full of troops, have arrived at Corfu.
1t appears that of u judges who Sat
on the trial of Moreau, of them voted
for his death, for acqItlal, and for
years, imprisonment. This singular Cir
cumstance is said TO have produced de-
bate OF hours, when the ma iorty de-
clared for the latter sentence.

is TO succeed Adm. CORVALLIS in the COM
mand OF the Channel fleet.

to be in very Indifferent state of health.
The long rnnored invasion, many
correspondents from the coast persist IN
saying will take place in the course of
next week. Without pretending TO know
the day or the week, however, we are APP
to think, that the time is not very remote.
when The contest between the Two coun-
tries will be decided. The very formida.
bic preparations, all along the extensive
coasts of the enemy, from Brest 10 the
Iexcl, we think evince Bonaparte's deter
mlnatlon of making the experiment. We
ought not therefore to relax single mo-
meat, in our arrangements of defence.
The Corsican regardless of the conse-
qucnces, seems resolved once more 20 put
his good fortune to the test but, con
Vnced OF the spirit and energy Of our
brave countrymen, we have no doubt that
the contest will prove glorious to the Bril-
fish arms.
" On account of the adverse state of
the winds, the greater part of the blockad-
ing squadron has been obliged to return
to Dungerness.
"The king of Naples, according to the
Dutch papers) has at last agreed to eva
cuate his fortresses, to be occupied by
French troops.
"lt is stated, that lord Nelson has sent
a squadron to- Corfu, to aGt in concert with
the Russian ships which have arrived
there. He still, however, maintains the
blockade Of Toulon.
