Ench central administration is tc the manner in which justice is tc be adminitlered. Bouquet, the French comniiffioner, who rcquefted the property of the public pawn of that city and Vicenza, has been tried by a council of war, and condemned to seven years imprifonsnent in irons. Drujon, the commandant of the place, w'no was »c ---ceflary to that arbitrary ail, is degraded, and rendered incapable of ever serving again iri a military capacity. The pension granted to his Polish majesty is 20,000 ducats per afinum. The abdica tion of king Sta.iiSh'us Auguftiis, of Po land, is dated <G-rodno, Nov. 25, 1795, and signed by that monarch, and the secre tary of state, prinee Kozlelfk Puzyan. Yesterday morning dispatches were re ceived at the ndpiiralty from commodore fir John Borlafe Warren, containing the pleas ing intelligence of the under his command having intercepted a French con voy, and captured seven {hips, laden with provifiobs, on theft paflage from Nantz to Brest, for the purpose of supplying the fleet at that pprt with their cargoes. The gal lant and indefatigable commodore, we are happy to add, has also driven a French fri gat« on the Penmark rocks, and deftroy'ed a corvette of 12 guns, and a large vessel laden with timber, which he could not bring off. It is but common justice to his merits to fay, that there is no officer in the British navy to whose aftivity the country owes more than to fir John Borlafe Warren. A report was yesterday received in town, via Portsmouth, that admiral lord St. Vin cent'i had an engagement with the Spanilh fleet, and captured five fail of»the line; but we are sorry to observe, that the vague manner in which the rumour cameanto cir culsticn, Entitles it to very little credit. The statement, however, is not without some degree of probability. If we are rightly informed with refpeft to the nature of the last dispatches from his lord ship, the enemy were hourly expected to put to sea in order to give him battle ; in which cafe, notwithftandifig the disparity of numbers, when we consider the superior gallantry and discipline of our fleet, wc entertain no doubt of the event having proved honoura ble to the British flag. July 29. 1 The hopes we entertained that the pre sent ftrtiggle between the majority, of the Legiilative Body and the Direftory would not affeft the public tranquillity, are rather disappointed by the last Paris papers, which seem to announce a more serious result of that conflift than we were inclined to expect. We have not been negligent of any oppor tunity that might offer to inform ourselves of what# is pafling at Lisle ; but the follow ing letter which we yeflerday received from a gentleman'there, shews the difficulty'of as certaining any thing very correft respecting ■ the negociation. " Sir, " Lisle, July 25. " I received your letter, wherein you desire me to fend you a Bulletin refpefting j • the state of the negociaticms, carried on by Lord Maltnefbury and the French plenipo- 1 tentiaries. " I fliould feel extremely happy to satis- ! fy you on this point, but nothing transpires of what is passing that can be depended on ; and I fliould not wish to mislead you. To prove "to you with how much secrecy the negociation is conducted, I mnft inform you that even the French plenipotentiaries do ; not fee each other but at the time and placs of their, fittings, that when they meet they j communicate their ideas and observations in j writing to one another, and receive the an- 1 Avers in the fame manner ; which, at the | close of the fitting are sealed up, and the j plenipotentiaries withdraw. " This is all we know of the negociation, and consequently it is utterly impoflible that any public print should give-the least infor mation on this head which can be relied on. Lord Malmefbury and Le Tourneur never fee each other but on matters of business, when a note is always previously sent, re queftingj an interview." J ul y 3 1 - Mr. Brookes, the mefienger, is returned to Lisle ; he failed fropi Dover on Friday afternoon on btiard the Prince'of Walespack.- et. We understand that in future the French packets are to bring the meflengers with . dispatches to our government: the English packets will therefore only be employed to carry over the mefTengers going to Lisle. An order for the execution of the muti- | ncers of the Sandwich was sent off from th® admiralty 011 Friday last, and early on Sat urday morning they were all, 17 in number 1 removed from the Neptune to the ■ Sand wich at Sheernefs. Four of them have ' been reprieved ; the remainder are to be ' hanged to-morrow morning at 9 o'clock. J August 1. I Yesterday the Hon. Mr. Wefley, brother : of lord Mornington, and secretary of em- I taffy, arrived at the secretary of date's of- c sice, with difpatehes from Lord Malmefbury. 1 He left Lisle on Saturday afternoon, and came to £)over on board the Diana packet. e / We have rcjfon to believe that he brings the 1 answer of the executive direftory to Hhe last a proportion of our court, but that nothing 1 that can be. relied on has transpired : an j' letters by the packet, and even the printed journals, were stopped at Dover. There cannot be a doubt that Mr. Wefley's errand here concerns some very delicate points res- pefting the progress of tjie negotiation, v which perhaps, could not be well commur.i- l cated by ordinary dispatches ; but, whether of such a nature as are likely to facilitate or 1 .retard the conclusion of peace, it would be . vain to cftiijcftur?.

The following art? the details of the bom- w bardment of Cadir: , 011 the 3d July, signals announced that the English fleet which blocks up the port, g. and is still at anchor in the road, had receiv ed three bombards: admiral Maffarcda sent N fix gun boats under the fort of St. Sebafti- an, to prevent the English from approsich ing, and gave Gen.

At a quarter from eleven an English bombard, • v fupperted by a fliip of the line, a frigate, and some (loops, furilifiied with mufqueteers, approached St. Sebastian, and threw fever- Jfc at bombs iiUa the to\vn,one of which fell up- fcu on a house in tne street Marguie; the pt;r lons who lived in it being at fuppcr, left it ji° j for fear. - Another bomb fell upon a house . of La Lanulla, where there is a public walk; a child was killed, the mother going to its afliftance, fell into the fiole made by the bomb, and was hurt, and another child which (he was nursing died of the fall. Gen.'
