The Iris has carried out 320,000 guineas,
and the Ariadne iso,ooo> to be conveyed
to Viertna, for the Emperor.
It has been intimated, that the Grand
Seignor had fignified his pleasure that
his ambafladur to the British court should
Continue in thin country till the ensuing
spring. A knowledge, however, of the a
bility of this —iniflcr, and the critical state
of Asiatic politics, have indticed the Emperor
to make a new disposition ; and the ambas
sador has received orders to repair to the ca
pital of Turkey with all poflible expedition,
for the purpose, we are inclined to believe,
of being appointed Reis Effendi, or First
Minister for foreign The order
of recal to the ambaflador was accompanied
by a Firman, appointing Mr. Arginople,
firft Dregoman to his Excellency, a Greek
of oot>le family and diftinguiflied talents,
though not 22 year? old, to be charge des
affaires to the Court of Lo«doti.
INDIA.
The last over-land dispatch from India re
lates, that a Rohilla, named Byrroi, had col
lected a powerful force, with which he had
devaluated an extensive country, carrying
its produce of every kind, to a place which
nature and art having rendered inaccessible
to an aflailant, conceived it impossible todif
pofTcfs him. A detachment of troops sent
by the Nabob against him, had fallen in with
and defeated one of his foraging parties, but
no impression had been made upon the main
body, which excited cenfiderable sensations
among the neighbouring chief..
The importance of Bangalore has induced
an order from the British government in In
dia to rebuild that fortivfs, which lud been
totally destroyed.
Very favourable accoiVits I %ve been re
ceived at Bombay from China.' It is said,
the pre sent Emperor is more favourably di{-
posed than ever to the interest of Britain, and
that he has (hewn on a late accalion a re
markable inclination to give to British fub
je£ts a preference in the trade of his do
minions.
August 5.
Letters from Brussels qf the July, in
the lad French papers, slate, that orders
had been tranfmi'ted to all the ports of Hol
land, to equip with the utmost expedition all
the ships of war there. It is said that a
fleet is to be -aflembled for the proteftisn of
the coast of Holland, as well as for the pro
tection of comn»erce in the North Sea.—
Two ships of the line of 80 guns, lately
built at Amsterdam and Rotterdam, will soon
be armed and equipped.
The Territorial Revenue derived by the
India Company from the partition of the
Mysore, produces 6,44,641,11 star pagodas,
which, with the subsidy of 7,000,000 a*
mounts to the immense sum of 13.47,611,10
star pagodas annually. The eftabliftiment
for the family of the late Tippoo Sultaun,
luitable to the high rank of the parties and
consequently highly honourable to the com
pany, reduces this sum to ll,47,64tfioftar
pagodai ; but from the uncommon means
this territory offers for improvement ,it is ex
pedted in z very few years, to yield twenty
lacks of star pagodas annually.
The island of Perim in the ftreights of
Baeblmandel, we learn, is still in great want
of water. Every method has been -.tried of
opening springs in various parts of the Is
land, but without effect. We further learn
that the island is very unhealthy, great num
bers ot our troops being in the Hofpita!
there.

A fulminating Mercury ,entirely free from
fulphui', has lately been discovered by E.
Howard, Esq. F. R. S. From repeated tri
als it appears that, under certain circumstan
ces, this powder afts with superior force to
gun-powder ; but it doei not seem on the
whole to possess such properties as will su
persede the use ot the latter.
The greatest exertions have been made
within these few days pad at Sheernefs, to
equip and fend off to Yarmouth Roads the
bomb and [gun vefTcl* fit for service, which
are destined to take part in the secret expe

which prevailed, that fcveral of them were
paid by the coinmiflioner while under fail.
The Monmouth and Raifonable are fitting
for fca with all poflible dispatch.
We have the pleasure to llatr, on the as
thority of a lette' from Bombay lately re
ceived, that the surviving seamen belonging
to his Majefly's late frigate the Refinance,
which was blown up in the Streights of Ban
ca, had all arrived at Malacca. It appears
they were ransomed by the Macaflar Rajah
in consequence of a representation made to
the Sultaun of Lingau, by the commanding
officer at Malacca. The unfortunate men,
five in number,,had been lome months in
captivity with the Malay pirates.,
The account which was said to have been
communicated by private letters from Gibral
tar, with refpedi to the affair between ad
mifal Duckworth's fqnadron and a Danilh
frig&te and convoy, published in the Timess
of°Saturdav, is completely unfounded. It
probably arose from a misunderstanding
which formerly took place between the Em
erald fiig-itc or, the Lisbon ftatiou, and a iri
gate belonging' tb Denmark, but was Coon
after adjnfled to the fatisfaftioli of botli
countries.

By a letter from Paris we find the Ame
rican ministers make no prog re si in their ex
planations. and that the two republics are
not for the prefcnt likely to be better recon
ciled. The objeft of this suspense and delay
is obvious.' France, by holding a doubful
conduft, will animate her partizans in Ame
rica, and intimidate her opponents ; and in
this course Ihe will the more probably conti
nue to lleer, with the view of effefling a
change in the Prefider.t, the elettion of whom
comes on in a few months.
The ceremony of preh nting colours to
the Stadtholder's new army in the lile of
Wight, was performed on Wednelday mor
ning by .the hereditary Prince, in the pre
sence of Lord Bolton, General Don, and a
vast concnirt'fe of fpeftators, in Parkhurft
Fore ft, near New-Port. The Prince of O
ranse, in an appropriate speech, gave due
praise to their appearance and military {kill,
recommen tied fidelity to the House of Orange
—and a ftendy subordination to their officer»,
as from such conduct alone the important
objeft, they would soon probably be engaged
oft, could be rxp fted to be accomplished.
'l'he Prince in the evening set off for Lon
don, preparatory to his going abroad.

A private letter from Hamburgh received
by yellerday's mail, contains the following
paflage : " It is reported on the authority
of some very refpedtable letters from Vienna,

Drefdeu, who forwarded them te Paris.
The Northern alliance will, it is said, aA

and «ti-e>» up to the Bth iafi. reached town
yesterday. They afford no t.fficul intelligence
refpedling the negociations between Austria and
Frame; but their general complexion augurs
favorably f r peace The ilturn of Count
St: Julien from Paris for Vienna, and the de
parture of citizen Duroc, firft aiil-de-camp to
the Chief Coofiil, for the fame capital, have gi
ven rile to a very natural supposition that Preli
minaries of I'eaee are in a Hate of forwardnels.
They left Paris on the fame day, but did not
travel in company Citizen Duroc arrived at
Strafburg en /he a 1 instant, he is said to carry
with him the ultimatum of the French Govern

the Imalleft remifiisn of iuduflry in the hoftiie

the Telegraph, froiti Dunkirk t > Paris, on

Sweden cordially concur in the plan of an
armed neutrality againfl the nncontroled

Continental I'eace.
Accounts from Hamburgh ot the j6th
ultimo, aflert, that all the attempt? of Raf
fia and Sweden to draw Denmark into the
new alliance against England have proved
si uitlefs. At Copenhagen, it is added, they

English.
It is currently reported and generally cre
dited at Hamburg, that the Court of Lon

that the armed neutrality is no longer the
topic of difcourle.

The French have taken pofleffion of
Frankfort, entering that city on ihe 271b

a coniiderable time, but being at length cpm
\ pellcd to yield to force, they consented to ;
i give up the place, arid accordingly billets
being granted, the troops were diltribu'ed
in the houses of the citizens. The sensa
tion caused by this unexpefted movement
upon the inhabitants, is said to have been in
cxpreffible. The energy of the Magistrate,

FROM THE FRENCH PAPERS.
Paris Augujl 4. —An Aid-de-Camp of the

Republic, seems decided. That Republic is
to have in future the Alps and St Gothard
for its frontiers on the fide of Helvetia. 1 hefe
limits are what nature has in faft traced out.
The manners and language of the inhabitants
of the ci-devant Italian bailiwicks attach them
much more to the Cisalpine than to Helvetia.

ters from Berlin announce the arrival of Count
Cobenzel there.
Augsburg, July lsth. —Gen. Moreau ar
rived here yeftered. He has determined to
remove the head-quarters to Dilliagen. The
centre of the army of the Rhine will take up
its cantonments along both banks of the Rhine
from Gunlburg te Ingoldftadt. The right
wing remains in Upper Suabia; the left will
occupy the duchy of Wirtemburg, where
Gen. Richepanfe will have his head-q&arters.
The remaining troops of the left will be ported
along the Mein, from Rednitz and Allmiche
to Ratifbon* The French are forming con
siderable magazines at Dillengen, Nordingen,
Donanworth, and Gunlbourg.
Letters from Ratifbon ft ate, that in the

ported that Ratifbon will be declared neutral,
and that the troops of both powers will be re
moved from it to a dirtance of fix leagues.

most all these (hips had a national flag. One
only carried a tri-colouredflagatthe mainmast.
We believe them to be French and Spaniards.

A Jitter from Munich fays, there is realou
to hope that the whole business of the nego

treaty of Campo Formio will be made the
basis, and several principal points were fet
tled before the conclusion of the armistice.
Others, however,, believe that .peace will
meet with many difficulties, elpecially o«
the part of England. The contributions

on our Bishopric, within fix weeks, amount
already to a million of Florins.
