Yesterday morning, about four o 'c lock, a most terrible storm of rain, accompanied with lightning and frightful' peals of thun-der, came on, which raged about the me-tropolis with unexampled f u r y till about 7 o'clock^ T h e rain descended in" torrents, arid without the slightest intermission, while the storm lasted. T h e streets were in a short time completely inundated, and the deluge poured with such impetuosity and ef-fect intothe houses exposed to its ravages, that the inhabitants, mostly of the labouring class, were compelled to rise shortly after the commencement of the storm. " T h e market folks were also prevented f iom en-tering On their business'until after seven o'clock. T h e lightening flashed at inter-vals with dreadful glare, and was generally succeeded by the loudest thuntler we ever remember. T h e peal which terminated the storm wa3 really tremendous—it was preceded by a flash of lightning, resembling

T w o Gentlemen were lately at Edinburgh brought before the Judge of Police tor hay-

; i n g given and' accepted . a 'chal lenge, for which'they were fined. Up'on this occasion' the Judge delivered his sentimeatsiand inten-tions with i espect to tineliiiig in the. f o l l o w -ing terms

By the law of Scotland, itis a cspital crime to fight a duel ; and to give or accept a-challenge may be punished with banishment, -a,ncl forfeiture of moveables. Pei haps the -rigour of the punishment has in many i n - ' '• stances allowed these offence's to pass .y.iti'r ' impunity. • - •

" An act has lately passed for-regulating the Police'of tliis city and its vicinage, where

, several, powers are conferred, adapted to the objects'of the act, the leading principle of which is the prevention ot -crimes of al l kinds, and every offence against peace and good order. It has-fallen to my lot to exe- " cute this a c t ; and I feel myself, called, upon, ' By the strongest ties, ro discharge this' a u t y ' > in: t he manner which I think .most likely !o -accomplish the object in v iew. ' . - '

<c I have already said, that challenging' .and duelling are crime's against fhe law's of ;

the land. 1 therefore-'ihink it my duly to : ;

• repress them ; and I trust that the powers ' given me by this act are sufficient' for that-" purpose. T h e y authorise me to punish by fine, imprisonmen: in the Tolbooih of Edin , ...' burgh, or .by commitnient'to Bridewell-, al l ' "" offendeis against peace and good o t d e n I -•' ha ve already applied the-remedy authorised

by the act in some cases-, and I shall certainty • make the attempt in the case of duelling-also. A s this is the first-instance o f a chal- '

ilenge or duel which has.been b'rought.before,-, me,- I shall only punish you by fine1,' taking :

at the same time sufficient bail that you shal l keep the peace.—But" if hereafter' persons ' are brought before me, and convicted af having given or,accepted a challenge., I shall consider j t my duty to send such persons, to the To lb o o th of Edinburgh, for a' cer-tain pei iod, by way of punishment, besides binding fhetn o v e r to keep the peace ; and-if persons are brought before me, and con- ' victed of having fought a duel, I shall equal-ly consider it to be my duty to send them to Br idewel l . Because all respect of persons; must be attached to their strict observance of the laws of their country, and those w h o bid.defiance to the laws, in whatever shua-tiomthey may otherwise be placed, are equal in that respect, and ought equally to feel the force of those laws whi^h they contemn."

T h e action commenced at a quarter past nine in the mqrning ( L a Didon having waited rrjy approach to l e e w a r d ) , arid lasted three hours, never without: pistol shot, during, which all o.ur ropes were cut to

The.necessity of our engaging to leeward, in.order to prevent the possibi-lity of the enemy's escape, exposed us to several raking broadsides before it could be prudent to return the fire ; and the supe-riority of L a Didon's sailing, added to the ad riot .manoeuvres of Capt.

The;prodigious fortunes that h a v e been made by the growth of potatoes in the -vici-nub ot L o n d o n , has more e x t e n s i v e l y con-tributed to the abundant cultivation of this root-thai! all the declamations of agricultural societies. -Perhaps the fo l lowing method of producing two corps in the same year , may add to: the temptation to propagate this useful vegetable. S i x weeks before the maturity of the most forward of. his potatoes, 4 far-mer planted iri his garden, sets, at the distance ol an inch. B y the time the former was earned off the ground, the latter had at-tained the height of five o r s ix inches, and were immediately transplanted to the field from whence the others had been removed.

j £V. A .mother ,of, an illegitimate child, in the mo-rith''of last A p r i l , was tried iti this Court for the murder of her.child. A ver-dict' peijhaps of unexampled compassion (but if is a fault w h i c h I ' ne^er can' blame) has

.enabled herito be alive a: this hour. T h a t "siiti-'had.concealed the bii th of'that child, and liad'concealed its death, was in proof. S h e is now prisoner for that concealment. I m -prisoned ,(I blush.for the l a w in stating it)' lor two years ! -the severest punishment. left us for .that offence, which is the root and principle of. these ramders,. In a very few days after this • acquittal,- another criminal, of a similar description was tried in one of the bordering counties, convicted, and iw-as executed, ii > ;- i - • . ;- -

" T h e offence, l am sorry to 'add, is of late more preva.lentthan ever in England, in Wales , and in this part of it the m o s t . — T h e difficulty of reaching it by legal proof is increased fifty fold by,a new Act of Par-liament, passed upon grounds of policy, w h i c h I dare not, as a Judge, arraign, but w h i c h I am not able to. fathom. T h e pecu-liar natu re o f this crime, and of the motive's ' to it, appear to me. cither overlooked or su-perficially e x a m i n e d . " T h i s offence has no root but in the barren soil of uneducated nature. It is the guilt of savage ignorance, pf unenlightened fear ; or (perhaps in t w o better words) -of undisciplined s e l f - l o v e . — T h e savage truly,, defined., is a merely and brutally-selfish character ; he cares for no-thing detached from his o w n personal figure in the wholesystem of .the w o r l d . In pro-portion as he,indulges the selfish propensity, he approaches downwards to the Indian with his torturing scalp in his hand, or to tlic-.cannibal w h o eats the man he had slain." T h i s crime never occurs in the higher classes of. l i fe : it is,the guilt of the poor alone, and almost universally in' the pale of domestic servitude. It springs from a distempered conscience, a desperate and frantic remorse, a fear of poverty or of shame. T w o prin-ciples cover these motive's ; one of them is a total absence of religion from the m i n d ; the other is a weakness or a perversion of the reasoning faculties, not arising from the want o f capacity but of culture alone. — T o meet the offence thus explained, and repel the mischief, appears to me no. ve.rv arduous task. T h r e e words bind the charm •—religion,, humanity, and police.

cc I believe it wil l be almost universally found, that convicts of this crime have bc-en thoroughly destitute ol religious im-pressions. T h e poor creature w h o p e i i s h e d at Presteigne bad not the faintest image of them : she had scarce ever heard of the Saviour 's name. O f Christianity, as re vealing a future state of judgment, and as redeeming the sins of the w o r l d , she had ne ver been told. S h e had no religious abhor-rence of hei cr ime, till a few short hours before she terminated her existence. O f her acquittal by interest she had very sanguine hopes, and had prepared gay apparel lor the

event. After the bare statement of such a picture, can one hear with temper of ob-jection to charities for religious education of the p o o r ? F r o m what I have heard of this devoted creature, I bell ve in my conscience that a feather of religion would have saved her life-, her virtue, and character. T h e attendance of i nfants on religious duties if rooted •in early days, becomes a settled habit, which clings to them with admirable effect when g r o w n up. 2 said that such offenders were generally servants. Masters 'will do well to reflect upon the mischief done by them to their servants; and through them to the community at large , if they ate them -selves men of dissolute habits or of low pursuits ; if they mark their contempt of ' ieligious duties, by an habitual absence fio.m the temple of their God.

" Humanity is a most "'powerful imple-ment in able and l iberal hands: it has its limits, or it would not merit the office it bears in the world. It may surely in some degree, without offence to the purity of mo-ral decorum, endeavour to mitigate the

.shame of an illegitimate b ir th; I do not' mean that it should reward the penitent mother, and, much less, that it should coun-tenance the impenitent one. But it may wel l prompt, in a whisper at least; many cases of seduction, in w h i c h it would be the

'most cruel of all tyrannies ' to be severe, if. the indiscretion is openly confessed in terms of remorse; I n cases even of a less favoura-ble aspect, but short of profligacy in the habit, mercy, within proper limits, would be at once •religious, humane, and politic. I think 00 master o f a reputable family should,keep a female servant , in w h o m it is known-by the other servants thai he has de-tecred her' ' incbhtihenecj because it -would be

of bad example to the other servants.. But mercy is open sti l l : he could lecc.mmcnd the discarded servant for other virtues, not sup-pressing this f a u l t ; and many are the h u -mane, w h o w o u l d gratefully accept a female servant thus recommended, with a generous oblivion of this fault. M a n y aie the female

.-'servants w h o have tut ned out excellent m e m -bers oi' the community under circumstances like these. -

" Police fol lows up humanity. It should be • on the alert,; and should g i v e a a alarm tit the first hint or suspicion of .pregnane) ' .—

' I f the fact be believed, though it is not proved, every imaginable expedient should be adopted ior the purpose of encouraging

the disclosure, and of discovering the. con -cealment. '•> T h e penalty of .concealment, ' as the law now stands, is perfect ridicule. T h e Act of K i n g J'atnes the First, now repealed, was admirably, calculated for' punishment and l o r prevention: of these murdeis , ' by p u -nishing the concealment, which is the shelter and lhe motive. A s great and 1 as good a man as this age or island can boast, whose death, a few-.months ago, i s ' a national mis-fortune, was an advocate for ilii.-i law con-templated'by him in 'its" true- Tight—.as the mercy ;of terror, .by disaj.Hiing.the hope to

escape from conviction by the artifice of concealment ; I mean the ceiebi atc-d P a l e ; . • But as.that law is no more, additional and peculiar vigilance is required from you to

guard us again'st tlie'nVis'chi'ef'thus let in.-~ " T h a t mischief; ;is. tbe.iconceilrnent of the birth and of the, deat h'. •

<c T h e seducer should be detested, high or l o w , and branded with shame.': T h e giti:c of supply ing medicines lor abo.aion, should be punished, whether such medicines w e r e used or no. It is a defect of the law, as it now, stands, that for this offence these is no punishment. : T b e medical tribe should be upon their guard against the sale of herbs " or potions calculated for this effect. If the father should refuse..to maintain the child when b o m , w h i c h is. afterwards killed by the mother, such a refusal. should be Se-verely punished., . It is in a moral v iew a constructive murder of that child.

" T h e s e .are, my hints for your better judgment. T h e poor constitute the best wealth of ihe rich. T h e i r love , and their esteem, is y o u r proudest inheritance. On the other hand, it is not their b r e a d alone (a degrading-word) but their immonal food^ tbeir interest hereafter, as well as here, that is required by them from the rich; f r o m t h e i r liberality, their goodness of b e a u , and their example in virtue. T h e poor female infant is an orphan of the c o m m u n i t y — y o u a i e answerable for the culture of her mind, for the decent habits of her deportment, for the honest affections of her intercouse with men

dor the domestic worth, and for the dignified (which are the natural graces of her cha-racter)."

A Marine Spencer has 'been invented to be worn in cases of danger at sea. T h e Spencer is a, girdle of canvas, four feet s ix inches long, and eighteen inches broad, wel l stuffed with cork shavings ;. this is fastened loosely about the body with straps and buckles, and, fo prevent its slipping too l o w , two strong tapes are brought ovei the shoul-ders, whii b fasten also with buckles. T h e first cost of this apparatus will, not exceed five shillings and 'fr.-m many expe.iiments made at sea, it will effectually preserve any pessoip from drowning. In cases of persons fal l ing ovei board any one unacquainted with swimming, if furnished with a Marine Spencer, might safely l e a p after them, and keep them irom sinking until a boat could be launched.

T h i s m o r n i n g , at day light, on a thick fog clearing up, -17 of the enemy's gun and mortar boats were discovered, within g u n r

T h i s ' extraordinary attack, and sudden retreat of ,the gun boats has given l ise to a variety of conjectures,

A U G O S T a .

It n o w appears certain from every account from A Igesiras, that the attack of the gun-boats on the morning of the 2.7th ult. was conducted. by the Spanish A d m i r a l : D O N B R U N O DE E Z E S A , in person, in full h o p e s ol being able to burn Sir R .

In our last w e inserted intelligence f r o m the Continent, w h i c h we were by no means prepared to expect , respecti'ng'the positive and active movements o f the Austrian, Ru?~ s ian , and French armies on the C o n t i n e n t . — T h e din of w a r has in consequence been sounded by the Parisian and Gei'man J o u r -nalists, and it h re echoed with an eagerness peculiarly their o w n , by many of the L o n -don Editors. It is asserted, in the most po-s i t ive terms,; that hostilities h a v e actually commenced in Suabia. W e are inclined to doubt the truth of this -assertion,- and we h a v e reason to thing it wil l turn out to be u n f o u n d e d — I n d e e d , whether Austria or Russ ia , or both, are really inclined to aban don a pacific system, w e think the present not exactly the season for commencing w a r -l ike operations.

A P A S T O R A L A D D R E S S , From -the Ministers, of, the Synod of Ulster io the

' People under, their, care.

• B R E T I-t-'R E N ,

W e rejoice in the opportunity, our annual meeting affords us, of addressing y o u . 011 subjects of higlr importance to you and, to. ourselves . T h e progress o f . profaneness and immorality calls loudly to the Ministers of the Gospel , to provide a remedy against their tuinbtis,effects. • A n d hete it must be obvious to the most superficial observer , that inattention to the institutions of our religion has had. a p o w e r f u l ,effect, by banishing from our minds the reverence to our Creator and P r e s e r v e r . — B y neglecting to w o r s h i p God ia publ ic , w e afford an any inlets to vice, and slight the means he has appointed for our improvement. : T h e shameful ne-glect of this important duty, is a subject of deep concern to all pious Christians. God promised by his servant in the old dispensa-tion, " that, where he recorded his name, there would he come and meet h i s p c o p l e " ; and in the n e w , c t that: w h e r e t w o or three are g i t h e r e d t o g e i h e r in his name, he would be in the, midst of them, to bless them and to do them g o o d ' — a n d - c e r t a i n l y , to hold imeicourse with God by prayer; to unite our heart's and voices in adoring the S o v e -reign of Nature , , in,contemplating the w o n -feVs .of his c r e a t i n g , ' p r e s e r v i n g , and re deeming love., in imploring the pardon , of ours ins through j e s u s Christ , nuist give the most e x a l t e d pieasureto every sincere mind.: Such exercises fill the.heart with j o y — t h e y do more, they improve the temper .—rWhen we confess that we are all sprung .from the/ same F a t h e r , fellow disciples of the same L o r d , enjoying the, saroe'piivi leges, engaged in the same w.arlaie, and.preparing for the same mansions,of peace and rest—-have not these sentiments a tendency to break d o w n all that pride arising from - distinctions of rank, and to encourage._benevolence, sym-pathy, charity and. love ? T h e rich-and the poor met! together—the L o r d is the M a k e r of them all . Another invaluable advantage arising from attendance on public worship , consists in the confirmation.pf .cur souls in the, true Christ ian; f a i t h . — H o w can w e e x -pect to k n o w the truths of. the Gospel , .so as 10 be enabled to give a reason for the faith that is in us, without meditating on the mi-racles, prophecies, and internal evidences which it contains,? H o w can we have a sincere and w a r m love t.o our G o d , without communing with him. frequently in prayer ? H o w can we be the disciples indeed of lhe

' Holy, j e s u s , without d w e l l i n g frequently upon the effects of redeeming love, upon the e x a m p l e , the precepts, the docti ine, and she resurrection of Chr is t , the hopes and promises ol the.Gospel covenant ? B u t , al-though the advantages to be derived from attendance on public w o r s h i p be so great , yel we must express unfeigned s o r r o w , lhat in many places it is much neglected,, both by the rich and, the p o o r . W e therefore entreat y o u , as you value the interests of rel igion, and y o u r present and future happiness, not to. forsake the assembling of youjselv.es. to-gether. W e beseech parents, masters, and

! guardians-, 10 inculcate on the minds of their Children, servants, and those committed to t h e i r c a i e , both by advice and e x a m p l e , the necessity ot meeting together to keep the S a b b u t h . — W h a t exquisite pleasure will it give the pious parent, w h o has taught his children to '(.-member'their Creator in the days of their youth, to meet them at the final judgment , and be able to say, L o r d here am I, and the children thou hast given m e ! and what inexpressible j o y wi l l it a f -f o r d t o us, Ministers of the Gospel of Christ , to meet at that a w f u l d a y , those w h o h a v e joined with us in social worship 1 ; " w h e n they that are wise shall Shine as the br ight-ness of the firmament, and they that turn many to righteousness, as the stars for e v e r and e v e r . " ',

W e w o u l d also caution you against excess in strong dr ink. T h i s is a vice of whose direful contagion w e conceive ourselves bound particularly to warn y o u , not merely f r o m its being pernicious in. 'itself, a s ' w e l l as forbidden in the G o l p e l , but because w e are inclined to believe that it is daily gaining ground amongst y o u . W e h a v e long had reason to lament that neither the measures hitherto adopted by the Legis lature, nor the precepts of the Gospel , h a v e been effec-tual to stop this ruinous practice ; w e ac-k n o w l e d g e with deep concern, that for this vice the land in w h i c h we l ive is notorious. Y e t this s in, which so easily besets the pre-sent generation, wastes the.estate, it destroys the energy both of body and mind, unfit-ting us a l ike , to discharge lhe duties w e o w e to G o d , to our neighbours and o u r -selves. Attend then, we" beseedi y o u , to the voice of h i m w h o h a s told y o u that " w i n e is a ' m o c k e r , and strong d r i n k 'is

rag ing , and he that-is decided.thereby is not w i s e . " B e also reminded, that in the N e w Testament , drunkness is enumerated among the vices which seperate us' for ever from the presence of G o d . A n d what , w e w o u l d ask, should be more loudly and pointedly condemned, than a being of such ele»atcd prospects as man, sinking tothe very dregs ot creation, by indulging: in such u n w a r -ranted excess? . W h a t ! shall a creature, formed in the image of G o d , : made but a little l o w e r than the angels, capable of con:

templating the beauties of the creation, of enlarging his understanding, and extending his happiness beyond the grave ; shall such a being so far degrade his cjignity, as to w a l l o w in the mire of sensuality? S h a l l R e a s o n , Heaven's fairest gift to man, shall Religion's hal lowed voice, h e r precepts and her sanctions, be all lost in the noxious draught ?

But w h y expostulate any further on atopic , the bad .effects of which you are ready to ac-k n o w l e d g e J L e t us rather endeavour to furnish you. with such pious helps and e x p e -dients, as may steer you clear of that r o c k , on w h i c h thousands h a v e shipwrecked-W h e t h e r , then, your habits of intempe-rance be confirmed, or yet to form, w e k n o w of no method so effectual as, on the one hand to abandon the associates, of your excess, altogether, and on the other, be cir-cumspect in the choice of your,companions. " E v i l communications corrupts good .man-ners." A n d in no.instance is tlie contagion to be dreaded more than this. It happens uhfoituhat'ely for the morals of mankind, that,those w h o mostly indulge in, excess, of strong d r i n k , ai e generally possessed o f such qualities of the heart and head* as render them most engaging companions, for the unthinking and u n w a r y .

With these, the inexperienced are- heed-lessly led astray, and unless possessed of firmer resolutions than those with w h i c h human nature, is generally armed, fall easy victims at the sfn. ine.of intemperance .— W o u l d it not then be. the wise part to avoid such company altogether, though you some times should be branded, by these corrupt-ness of virtue, as churl ish and unsocial ? If you a l low yourself to mingle in their noisy mirth, it is. mortally impossible that you can escape. " Use then the things of this w o r l d , not abusing them, k n o w i n g that the fashion of it passeth.a w a y . "

N o r can we avoid re inindingyou of ano- > thcr vice, which unhappil.ly is too prevalent . W e mean the taking of God's holy name in v a i n . — C a n d o u r obliges us to confess, that this sin, which cannot be committed eitb.e.i: ; on thc^coie of profit or of pleasure, is too much practised by all ranks and degrees. In too many instances, common con versa ion cannot be c a r r i e d ' o n , or common business transacted, without a m.ixtuie o f oaihs ami imprecations, at which the true Christian . must shudder. A n oath, it is t.t ue, is lawful lor putting an end to strife, but further than this we are to swear not at all : " Neither by the H e a v e n , for it is God's throne, nor by the earth,, for it is his footstool,' nor by: Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great k ing , : nor by the head, for thou canst not m a k e one hair white or b l a c k ; but lit you r con-versation be y e a , yea, nca, be a, f o r w h a t - \ soever is more than these Cometh of e v i l . " j Did then the prolan? swearer reflect on the.-.jf enormity of his guilt , did.he pause 'but for- ' a momenta, when about to utter his impreca-tions in presence o f - the most, high G o d , ' awed into silence by the lecollection of Om-nipotence, he 'would, implore on his bended knees, the pardon of ha? sins, and never; utter another syl lable to dishonour his name, never w o u l d .he again offend the Majesty o f H e a v e n , by rendering unhal lowed his name, w h i c h o u g h t to be hal lowed ior ever . B u t you wi l l know that the Christian character is ,not complete by ceasing to clo evil,:, you must, also learn to do w e l l ; not only*blameless and harmeless, but eminent in every good, w o r d and. deed, shewing, to those around: y o u , that you, feel the p o w e r of that Gospel w h i c h you profess. In fine, a s members of society, l ive peaceably with all men, y i e l d - , ing a dutiful submission to the laws o f y o u r country , and true and- faithful allegiance to y o u r most gracious S o v e r e i g n ,

W e d i a v e this day received letters from oui- Coirespondents at Malta, and Gibraltar , the contents til w h i c h ate not unimportant.

W e ' w e r e before informed that S i r J A M E S C.-RA I G ; w i t h the expedition under bis com-mand, arrived at the former place, all w e l l , on the 17th of July , O u r present letters state,' that lhe chief part of the t roops 'which Went o u t With S i r J A M ® 3 , W i l l b e lef t at

S ir J A M E S C R A I G had sent his chief Aid d e - C a m p , L ieut . Co l . B A I N . E S , to C o l f u in the Morgiana br ig of w a r , to in-spect'the state o f the Russian army assem-bled there, w h i c h o u r letters stale at 1.5,000 men. I t i s supposed they wil l co-operate w ith our troops, the Russians being destined to take possession of N a p l e s , (if the French be not before hand with them) w h i l e Sicily and A l e x a n d r a a>e to-be garrisoned by the; British.

T h e latter measure' w e recommended to be adopted many months a g o , and w.e aie happy to find that it has been resolved on. T h e possession of A l e x a n d r i a and Malta are highly necessary to the safety of our com-merce in the Mediterranean during a war. Indeed we consider the latter as indispensa-ble to our sccuviiy, even in time of peace, and w e hope the time will • 'never a r r i v e , in •which'any British Minister shall so far lose sight of the true interest of the E m p i r e , as ever to negociate for its abandonment.— Star.

T h e conduct of the Spaniards before Gi-braltar seems extremely mysterious: they are collecting and'maintaining a much large 1 army at a great expence, encamped before that garrison, than ever can be required for defensive operations, and w e can hardly think'that they h a v e a n y serious intention of besieging that place, after the lesson they re-ceived the last time they attempted it.

September 16th, 1805. T h e Distributer of Stamps for the County of

Clare, hereby gives Notice, that, an j Inspector is at piesent ih this..District, charged with positive prders to enforce a due observance of the Stamp Duties, and that a l l 'Persons Vending Spirits wjthou'l a Licence, and all .Groeeis, T a n n t r s , 'Clian'dleis', horse-Jiirc, Game,-Hat , and other Persons evading the Sta i rp DutioS, wi l l be prosecuted forthwith and the penal-ties levied. -

It is the duty and interest of the fair dealer, to g ive iuch Information as wil l Jead to the'delcction of peri sbhs dealing without' License in their respective branches, it is therefore hoped they.v/ill communicaie ihtelligence : to the Distributer who wil l observe the strictest Secrecy. '. .

Yesterday and this morning, .-w.ej received London Papers to tlie i.ith instant, the contents of which are riot important.

N o intelligence has reached London from the CGG-tinent later than what was given in our last. V/.e are" extremely anxious . for the arrival of i h e neiit. French and Dutch Papers, which, in the present si= " tuation of affairs, cannot but bring most important intelligence. We expect that they will announce the commencement of hostilities either in G e r m a n y or Italy, most probably m Germany ; for both, Powers seem to be pressing forward their armies for the pur-p o s e o f taking possession of Bavaria. T w o reports, indeed, were circulated in Londoa on Monday fast, with v?st industry, one of which stated that an ac-tion had actually taken place in 'the T y r o l . But this cannot be true, as the T v r o f had not a siwgie French soldier in it when the last dispatches v/ere r e -ceived. T h e other report, more plausible ccrtainiy, but w e believe equally laJse, was, " that Genen-.is S T . CYR and J O U R D A N ' h a d received orders to' at-tack the Venetian States, and even'to sccupy the c i ty of Naples, and disband the .Neapolitan A r m y . "

It wi l l be generally admitted that hostilities are 'un-avoidable—but whether t h e f o f blow has been, strut ic, is a question which cannot be suddenly answered, without Ihe certain dangerof contradiction.

Intelligence of the Austrian Ambassador haviso. left Paris was, it is said, ' formally communicated to the British Government on the 7U1 inst;

Government are now inclined to suppose that Prus-sia wi l l remain neutral, in the event of a Continental v;ar.

Great desertions aie dsily taking phec m the French army in Italy.

In the lack of fresh continental news, we. hsve inserted in another part of this page, a letter,from Paris, which we copied from a London morning pa-

, per, and which Will furnish cur Readers with some 'curious particulars of the reports circulated in tl\ut capital.

Orders were, on Monday and Tuesdav last, sent lo the different regiments in England, who are .in-, tended for Foreign Service, fo -hold ihemseJv.es in readiness for immediate embarkation.—300 trans.-, ports are ahead.y...prepared for. ..their reception. •

T h e Troops under orders for Foreign Service f rom this part oi the Dniled Kingdom are -as lollo.w :—• sd, 3d, and 51 h Dragoon Guards ; 16th. 17th, iSl.'i, and 2,3d Light Dragoons'; .30, 91 h, 25th, i t l h , 28th, 30th, 36th, 4Sth, 4 - t h , 50th, 63d, 79th, S 2 d, and 97th Kegimeiitsof Infantry.

T h e tnt i reof the Expedition now fo-mino is it is said, to comprise 35,000 men, of whom 5060 are l o b e Cavalry .

T h e destination of this A r m y is not yet- lenown ; but whatever it be, we are confident that the coriduti of our gallant Troops wi l l not be unworthy of their former renown and glory.

T h e wealth and. produce o f every clime continue to be p o u n d into 'he British ports. If BO.VA P A R X S was at Boulogne last week, he.had an opportunity o f seeing the richest fleet that ever navigated the ocean, (the Last India), pass the French-coast. H e -would have an opporiunity of, seeing, on Tuesday, another of our homewaTd-bound' fleets (the Quebec) . W e have but one more homeuar'd bound fleet at sea, the Leeward Island fleet; but'r.o le irs are entertained for its safety.

It is with great pleasure WE state,. that by an Order of. Counci l , -the pay of. the Lieutenants of the Royal- ' Navy is increased to &s„ per day ;' and the Masters to .12], per month. T h e pay. of the Captains, it-is said, will speedily come under the consideration bf the Privy Council .

T h e Sub-Sherif f requests that those persons on ' whom h'e has a call, will take care to have the sarr e settled, on or before the 6th day of October next, as i t i s not -in his power to give further indulgence.

His Excel lency the L O R D L I I . i n r i N A K T has been'pleased to appoint Mr.. M I C H A E L C A N N Y , of

'Funis , a Distributer .0! Stamps for t h i s County.; in the room of Miss M A R G A R E T M'DONOGH, dec.

;,. On Friday last, -R. W ; G A R D N E R ; Esq; itiSpe.c'- --tor- of Stamps, accompanied M r . CA.NVY, Distri-j buter of Stamps, proceeded to examine the Shops,

&e. in t h i s town, respecting vending Spirituous Ljquors , &:c,. for the present, y e a r ; several persons, who had not provided themselves with Licences have been detected; and we see in the present Distributer of Stamps a strict observance of the examples o f his,predecessor,' in a vigilant and persevering atten-tion: to the duties o f his Employment arid to the in-terests of the Revenue.
