The two ships of fhe line which were some time ago stated to nave sailed" from Rochefort, are said to be destined tor the West-Indies. They havei about 13(?Q troops on hoard.

Humours are circulated on the continent with regard to peace. An article dated Lubec, May 19th, states confidently that peace is the great ob- ject of thftse Megociatioss which are at present pending- between Russia and other powers of Eu- rope; that the mission of M. NovoailzofF is alto- gether pacitk: and that the instructions with which he is fi.iriliii-ied were pursued in concert with the Cou rt of Si James's. The same ideas are re- peated in letters from Ratishon, copied in the Bul. «iUu del'Europe .of the 2Sd. These state expressly, teat a Russian j'jnvoy is going to Milan to meet Vdth B.)napaxte,. and that ail fears of a continental war are' at an emi, -In -same of the strictures too upon the conduct of our Ministers in the Moniteur, th:*y are apcured not only of haying been averse to peace at forilijer tintes, hat of being averse to it at "present. It' is. abundantly evident, that all those circumstances afford bat a very slight presumption of a general paciifcation/ They are, however, some proofs of the general ardour with, which it is wish- ed for on the continent, and. with which a.renewal of the horrors of war is deprecated. It is not altogether beyond t!m :re<ch of hope, that even Englaiid and I''r;cc,'aware at last of the mis- chiaf <they may do to each other,' and. of .their inability to derive any advantage from their hatred %ud Jiosiiinies^ may. begin to long, lor the bless- ing8 otf,j)$a £ e.. It cannot be h>jag before the in- "habitants both'countries will become sick of so unavailing a struggle, a& that in which we a.re now engaged, should-it continue in that lifeless but im- poverishing aryd exhausting state in which it has so long remained. A private !ett^ from Stockholm, gives the follow- ing as the .eauitSs -which have induced his Swedish Majesty to break off all con'hexiun witl) Bonaparte: I "■ The capture ftf the Dukf?

The '•Zealand energy with which the King of .Sweden de- feu/led the riijh$6 of Germany at Ratisbon, induced Bonaparte and to intrigue, for the pur- pose of depriving him of Swedidli Pomerania, and cons-cquently at the right of being a Member of the Oermarjic Empire. "VheJ1 this intrigue was dis- covered, lV,Hey.r<iad communicated to the Courts of St. Petersburgii, Berlin, and Copenhagen, a ge- neral plan for the partition oi Sweden as well as the Turkish empire. At the last partition of Poland, in 1794, A w.tria's sharg- of the spOd was, less than that .,f Russia or Prussia but it is said that the two litter power- agreed, In- a secret treaty, to indem- nify her ut the espencs of Turkey.

Last year, when the insurgent Servians marched against iiian the Cabinet of Vienna, It is said, demand- ed the execution of these secret. articles. To this demand the Cabinet of St. Cloud immediately as- sented, and in o.rder to induce the Cours of St. Pe- tersburgh and Berlin not to oppose it, proposed, at the same time, to divide the kingdom ofSwcden in the following manner: Swedish Finland, with the provinces Surrounding it, were to be given to Rus- W, sia, Prussia was to obtain Swedish Pomerania, the Duchy of and the islands in the Baltic, Bornhohn and Gothland.

The F.mperor of Russia, how- ever, rejected the proposal with indignation a. the Court of Berlin it was received, it is said, more iavourably, which- in a great degree explains the coolness which subsists between the-Swedish and Prussian Goverhih'ehts. ltis cOllfinüedthiü an attempt was' lately made to assassin.t.te the lJ,t3Y c 1" V' -s he was assailed by four Turks well arn 1 who, after, discharging two pistols at him, fell tmon him with their sabres, and wounded hirh in tc l places.

A long and umnteres'-uig debate took place yes- terday in the House of Lords: on the question whe- ther Mr. Justice Foxshoalcl be examined within the bar, like a Judge ot England: the following motion was at h i_/h far-ied, viz.

Tuesday se'nnight.—Mr. Pittremarked that Mr. Whitbread's notice referred to his' intention Of making two mo- tions; first, for an impeachment against Viscount Melville and, secofndiy, some resolutions with re- gard to him, As to the latter, if it was of such compass as not to.require so much deliberation as the former, he should be extremely desirous that not an unnecessary moment should be lost in go-" .kig into the discussion Of that part which related to -himself. ,Mr, Whitbread Was anxious, for the earliest-possible diseussion, but-thought the Hotise should be put thomugbly'in possession of the. whole report one of the I>Xem4 hers of the Committee stated, that the pnss of the feportrelated to the conduct. of Viscount Melvill.y, as connected with.

Think- ing, therefore, that the discussion upon it would not require much more, previous consideration or delay, he should, on the earliest day after the printed papers should be in the hands of gentle- men, move that the part of the report which refer- red to the conduct of the Might Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Pitt) be taken-illto consideration.—Mr. Whit- bread believed it to be altogether unprecedented in the proceedings of Parliament, when a Member gave not.ice of ..a motion, for another to sa.y, that if thc motiun was not made in a day or two sooner than that proposed, he should take it out of his hands. The Hon. Gentleman, from his attendance on the committee? was, no doubt, quite conversant with the substance of the report; but though he might have formed his own opinion with regard to the connexion, or want of connexion between its parts, he could not possibly answer for what might be the views Or the opinions of others. Before he undertook this office, after the report was present- ed, he asked the chairman of the Committee, whie- ther it was his intention to move any Parliamen- tary proceeding upon it? and being answered in the negative, he thought it his duty to give the no- tice he had done.—-Mr. Fox said it was certainly competent for the Hon. Gentterhan -to anticipate the motion.of hts Hon. Friend, after notice given of it; and it was only a question of the Hon. Gen- tleman's dehcacy &nd discretion.-r(Nothmg fur- thcr was said and the notice stood for Tuesday se'nnight).. • Yesterday morning the annual general assembly of the charity schools took place in St. Paul's cathe- dral. There were supposed to be seven thousand in the church. A short time before twelve o'clock the different schools were arranged in their proper places, to the amount ot nearly 3000, They sung the psalms, channted part of the service, and the coronation anthem, ,with very great'correctneSs. An excellent and appropriate sermon was preached by the Bishop of Bristol foom a temporary pulpit under the centre of the dome. A liberal collection wasmadea.tthedoors. Letters from Lisbon mention the trial of an Ita- lian, a native of Genoa, for attempting to kill the Marquis De Cicvaglua. lie was found guilty, and the sentence was, that he should be drawn in quarters, by four orders, have his hands chopped off, ami -his- remains be afterwards burnt-ta ashes. This sentence was carried into execution on the 6th inst. The miscreant, it Appeared, had acted in concert with three men, who were to.place a box p of gunpowder under the seat of the Marquis's state coach,, (one of the villains being the Marquis's c oachman.) The box Wafe So contrived as to con- tain a match, which should burn some time before it would set fire to the povvder. ;< SATURDAY, June 1. -This evening's Gazette contains a letter from Sir S. Hood, dated Barba.does, March, 28, communi- cating the capture of L'lntrepide French privateer, of four guns and 62 men, hy the armed brig Grena- da, Lieut. Baker, on the l()th prececlin! likewise a letter from Lieut, Blow, of the Charger gun brig, stating his having captured the I)e Renno, a small cutter, from Flushing, carrying twelve men and .0, small arms.—It also contains an Order in Council, dated May 30, continuing, for six months, the free importation of numerous kinds of provisions, and for prohibiting their exportation. The rumour that the combined squadron, or a part are gone to theBrazils, is strengthened by some 'b accounts brought by the Active frigate, which spoke a Portuguese man of war, and was informed by her that she had seen the combined fleets, and that they were gone to the Brazils. It was on the 19th ult. that the Rochefort squa- dronreturnedtothatport. It appears that our Government has most season- ably begun to take precautions against a general attack from the enemy at the present juncture.— While the fleet blockading Brest is intended to watch his motions against Ireland, all the ships in the Downs are ordered over to attend the Boulogne tlotilla, lest at the moment when the channel fleet might be detached towards Ireland, the long threat- n t, ened desccnt should he made upon England. Not only at Brest and Boulogne, but at the Tex el, and along the whole line of coast opposite to the British ikofes, every Sh'rag seems to be in readiness for some grand movement. Whether this be merely a feint, like.so many preceding, to alarm and agitate us; or. whether,there be a more serious intention,^ it is equally our duty to be on our guard.

The total number of British ships of war in com- mission on the 1st of this month was 70?, which comprise 112 sail of the line, 20 fifties, 144 frigates, and 426 sloops. ■•■ Law.—Mr. Budd, bookseller, of Pali-Mall, was tried on Saturday, in the Court of King's Bench, oh a criminal information tor publishing a libellous pamphlet, tending to vilify Earl St. Vincent. The libel was entitled Audi alterant partem and re- ferred to, aud repeated certain charges, contained in a suppressed pamphlet, signed.Aristides. The charges were, that his Lordship had. by indirect means endeavoured to remove Sir A. S. Hammond from the Comptrollership of the navy,, in order to appoint a friend ot' his own ;—that he availed hint-. self of his official si tuation in'order to open the pri- vate correspondence of Lord Keith,-Sir Sidney Smith, iicc.—That the Admiralty Board was too much engrossed in plans toaiWjy tb.o Hif«ndcra.of the-Goiintry to'have time to tfiiiik of its enemies j-r»- that his Lordship had abused the juiblic trust by givingSOOOl. a year as apension, to a Commissioner- who was able to' discharge his duty; .and that hfc had paid 30001. of the public money to'suppress the pamphlet signed Arislidns, The publication was prov-ed, Stfd the passages. read.

In order to prove that Mr. Blagdou had not circulated a single copy of the suppresserl pamphlet, of which fact his affidavit is on the record, his Counsel produced in Court a bundle containing nearly fifty copies, uncut, which had been in his possession since the time of the 1 7 delivery of upwards of.70b.copies to Mr. Tucker, as lnentioned -on a foriiier o'ccasi'on, and -thus making up -the whole number that was printed. f LordRIlenbopougl), in an early stage of the trial, having:remarked; that the printing and delivery of 1 a number of copies to any one person, Was, in 'the eye of the law, a pubhcation, the defendant'sCoun- r sel made ho attempt to prove that My., Blagdon was not the author-of Audi alteram partem, or that the copy of Aristides,/frOni which the quoted .pasr. sages had been "taken into this other pamphlet, could not hav^ beeri obtained from hirp. ivrr. der res. rve 1 wb tt he had to say in favour of the defenda it t U a future stage of the business.—The Jury of course ffiünù the defendant guilty.

Letters have been received from Paris, which state, that Bonaparte has communicated to some of the' Ministers of the neutral povvers a plan of a general pacificatioh.Slm. Admiral Collingwood, who was detached from the channel fleet, with eight sail of theline,a few days ago, to the southward, will, it Is 3aid, join Lord Nelson. The Downs fleet is, we understand, to, be in- creased to 14 sail of the line; for the purpose, as is supposed, of reinforcing the North Sea fleet as oc- casion may require. It is believed that an attempt will be made to send a French squadron north about to join the Dutch fleet in the Texel, which is quite ready for sea, and atsingle anchor. Lord Melville's impeachment, it is said, is to be resisted by the whole weight of Government: the most pressing letters of recall are gone over to the Members who had returned to Ireland. The Kent Volunteers were yesterday reviewed on Blackheith, by his Majesty, who afterwards, ac- companied by the Queen and Princesses, and the: Princess, of Wales, went to Flampstead House, and viewed the Royal Observatory. They then pro- ceeded to view the holiday-makers' gambols, of rolling down 'Greenwich Hill, and the other sports ofthe fair, with which they appeared very highly amused.. Letters frömAlicant of the 4th of May, state, that the celebrated Tallien was about to pay the debt to nature in that city. He was not expected to survive many days the effects of a dropsy in the chest, under which he had suffered for sometime.
