The Mgxitf.vh to the 19th, and the London Journals to the 24th, have, together with fcveral Jmrrkan and Provincial PapeiJ, been received at jur Office. The language of the Britisti Journals has ceased to express the confident expectations of aid from Ruffia, which they have, been lately accullomed to circulate with inconsiderate credulity.

Intelligence from the Continent states, that applications have been made by the Cabinets of St. Peteriburgh and Berlin to the First Consul, to induce him to withdraw the French armies from the Banks of the Elbe and Wcfer, but that Bonaparte was inflexible in pursuing his present system of operations, 5c stee-r in this country, are unfounded.

ihebut, a Press to speak for her, would owrtj sq too wol4-all her nick-named new fangled provinces, be so, it is really an open mockery of policy as well as of propriety. If those Powers were sincere in restoring the antient relations of thir.gs in the North of Europe-, they need not become humble suitors to the grace of the First Con so they might, and indeed tSey would, if they were cordially with us, speak in saeh a strain as would reduce. the negotiation to great simplicity. But when they expect us to believe, that they are warm participators in British views of policy and would persuade us that a languid mediation addressed to the operation and forbearance of the First Consul is a proof of their good offices, it would be a desertion of common reason to give it credence. Several of the Journals allert that the refusal of Bonaparte to ccede to the proposition of Prussia and Russia, is very likely to excite confederacy upon the Continent this seems, however, to bean inference somewhat hastily made.

Au earnest mediation by those Powers, would make any confederacy of the fort unixcefla-ry. If they were sincere, their ambassadors Would be as competent to settle the dispute as their united arms for to a moral certainty, France would yield to a determined spirit of remonstrance and if tlfty may do us much service, by mediation, yet will not; what expectation ought we to have that they will light for us, rather than negotiate for mi We shall never interest Europe on our behalf, nor diminish the ascendency of France over the Con." tinental States, until we convince the world, that we are able to fight the battle out with our present enemy. The world thinks we cannot, and therefore, our Allies are our own loyalty, courage, and patriotism and effective auxiliaries we shall find them fully adequate to our cause, if we discern our real interest with sufficient precision, and pursue it with unabating energy, with eternal effort, and with continued sacrifice. An expedition against the coast of France is now very generally credited. That such an undertaking, judiciously planned, be attended with great Belgium, LiL'irria, but above ell Helvetia, the pec Benin and St.

Peterlburgb there is no longer any doubt, has completely failed. The First. Consul's obllinancy may, however, produce that continental confederacy, to effect which our exertions would be vairdy applied. The Gazette of last night announces that Mr. Bragg, as Secretary nt War, has appointed Francis Moore, Esq.

his Deputy, instead of Matthew Lewis. Mr. Moore is the Gentleman who went to Switzerland on the part of this Government, and he has been long a Chief Assistant in Lord Hawkelbury's Office. He has now obtained one of the most lucrative ostkes under Government. It is supposed to produce per annum.

'she Order of Council for' granting General Reprisals and. Letters of Marque against the It alia, 1 and i.igurian Republics, is a measure of absolute necessity, to attack France through all it, inferior connexions. Whatever Power submits itself to the will of the First Consul, cannot be considered but as an engine in hi' hand to increase bis means of hostility against England, and must, therefore, be treated as an enemy. Genoa had already put theConsular order in execution, to 'prohibit the importation, of the produce of Great-Britain pr its Colodies, an act of hostility that was alone sufficient to render the measure necessary that haa now been adopted by the English Government. Orders have been received at Plymouth to prepare for the reception of 40,000 troops in the Western District.

Of this number 20,000 are to be stationed in the immediate vicinity of Plymouth. It is said there are to, be temporary barracks built in different parts of the district for thtir reception, to ease the innkeepers. About 1 100 of the Army of Reserve have joined the 9th andzftih regiments of foot at Plymouth. Mill Prison, near Plymouth, contains already 2 JOO naval Fiench prisoners. From the returns made, under a recent order of his I mptwal Majesty jtjkpgeaathat the population of Hungary amount ttjjaoa.j perlootf' and its revenues to 44,000,000 tioriiis.

'-f Yesterday, accounts, were received from France that the King George Packet, which has been some time expected, had been captured, after an engagement 6f an hour, by the Reprisal French privateer, and carried into a French port. The packet is said to have fought with great bravery, but she was boarded, and was overcome by numbers. The French account 'states, that they have found 1 carats of diamonds on board, estimated to be worth 45.000!. together with dollars. She is therefore a rich prize.

The majority of Officers, and 738 rank and file of the West Norfolk' Militia, have volunteered to extend their services to Ireland. Lord Pelham is said to have retired in roiisc-quence of a misunderstanding with Earl Hardwicke respecting the affairs of Ireland, which tendered it nrrcefliiry that one of them should resign and it was deemed extremely improper that his Lordship should quit his Viceroyalty at such a juncture. Burr stone, of a quality equal to any in France, has been lately discovered in the mountains of Kerry, in Ireland. Plymouth, lug. 12.

Khis intelligence coming from well informed persons on aud conn-tenauctd by some circumstances at home, necessarily orUained credit but on inquiry it is found to be fallacious.

The; best informal ion is, that Kllflia is not likely to engage in the present contest on cither "'fide, though both parties are exerting their instu-. cut: to gam her over. It is certain Ib will protect the' free navigation of the Sound against both E-nglilh, and this is', perhaps, the ut-' rnost.extent to which her hostility will go. While the Cuief Consul may be meditating the overthrow us Eritisli sway in Ireland, a very serious plan is on foot here to destroy Consular tyranny in France. A few days ago A Council of Seven of the French Princes was held, at which Pichegra was present; together with Dumourier, who "some time go reconciled himself to the King of France, and took the oath of allegiance to him.

With a view to an expedition, Dumourier is certainly come to this country. The Royal standard is to be erected in France, under those Generals', who will be acsompanjed by of the French Princes. All the emigrants, have, "within these few yean, returned to France, hate the Consul, and his upstart pillaging profligates. It is well known that these Immigrants possess a great over the minds of the peo pie, all of whom affect to be sufferers by the revolution, fallen Noblefle, ruined Royalists, The society of the returned Emigrants was last summer sought with eagerness in Paris it was an honour to be in their company while the wealthy upstarts by the revolution werp despised. The Emigrants, the clergy, and the majority of the people, would favour the return of the Royal Family; but before they will wait to set is the attempt promises sjccelY This attempt will certainly be made, not by LVitisti troops but it would be improper to ftite the plan even is we knew it, which we do not.

There is undoubtedly a strong Royalist paty in which has lately manifested ill disposition by acts that have alarmed the Chics Consul, and brought him to Paris. Gen. Uanadieu was ''arrested in Holland ao a partisan in this enterprise, to which we wish the surest si-cccss- Mti-eau ii will be retollected, wa some ye ars accused os be-ins; engaged i) a project to restore Royalty with Geiirrrd We have already said that grAits an amne sty to others only that they nay giant an amnesty to him, and that all his charity begins r.t home. He calculates vainly, however, ii returned Emigrants and Priests, vt upy fay th- people at lat-gr, wilttit so easy under his as they. would under the family oftli.ii- a.iiicnt Kirtgs.

We may, tlieresorp, soon see the soreieiiity os France Ireland desperately disputed in each country at the stmc moment. We understand that live dispatches received yesi tei Jay front the Court os Madrid, do not contain the uiihnalum required by our Government, with 1' lo line of conduct Spmn has resolved lo in the present contest. His Catholic Majesty nvtkcs pre.fesiiVns a sincere disposition to pre.se, ve the tiLblilhed rclatiotis of peace -and r. rity, itudiehlily avoids a final explanation. In wt'iii he wants more, time, and.

wishes, as long as lie is allowed by Bonaparte, to preserve his convoys and vessels from being by our to keep his ports free froia.thi blockade vt" cur lVj'jaelrolin. The, account of the d. image done to the Lower Town of ISuiilcgiic, and abaUei') constructing near that place, 'by our is now fully confirmed. The vessels employed on this service were the iga'e, and the Terror bo.nb. While tlrey bombarded the town, a detachment of scamet; rryAl at ths s.imo note la.id'jd, preparation and materials of destruction while au these exhibit the advanced state and muideious puv.

pose of the plot, they prove that the inipuli good, tve firmly. bssiieve but, if we rest the whole of the success upon the progress which the cause of I the Royalists may make, it appears to be a very desperate undertaking. Yet however, another Roy. alist war is confidently talked of, in' which Generals Dumouiuer and PiCHtGRU are to hold important situations. There is not the most distant probability 1 of success in such, a project at present.

It is dis- sicult to fay what is in the womb of time but of the present moment, it may with confidence be said, that the Royalist party in France is utterly incom comes from wealth, education and talent. Undir these critical circimstances of theCoiintrT, it has pleased the wisdom os his Majesty and of liis Parliament to demand a rreat and extraordinary force from bis people. This will necessarily no light burdens, and binds of course the Grand. Juries of Ireland to the severest aud mbS i'gid frugality it loudly calls upon them to confine thfif presentments to meer works of absolute and indispensable necessity.

The present state of things has compounded the interests of the majority with the exclusion of the ancient system and numerous causes may be assigned for alledging, that if the Royal cause be in anyprogress, it has not arrived to sufficient maturity to try its fate against the armies of Bonaparte.

The American Papers are more interesting than usual. The New York Daily Advertiser of the 21st of July, contains the following facts, respecting the purchase of Louisiana by the United States from the French Government Dispatches from the American Ministers at Paris were received by the Executive on Thursday evening. They were brought by Mr. Hughes of Baltimore, as confidential bearer, and contain the Treaty Hgned on April 30th which conveys Louisiana to the United States. The extent of the territory ceded ii defined by a Cicneral reference to that in which Louiiiana was ceded to France.
