The sight of so many ship's at once in ful sail, in fine weather, ^nd with.a favorable wind attracted the attention of hundreds of spectators on the surrounding eminences, Who, while they admired the grandeur of the scene, wafted their best wishes for their success and safe rdturn to their native homes. , ^ A popular disturbance took place at Castres in the south of France,, about 35 miles east of 'Toulouse, occasioned by the high price of corn, The exertions of the ffiayor to suppress tfie commotions were fruitless, for many of the rm tiena! guard joined the people, flf&d thecorn was ultimately distributed at the prifce demanded.— Tranquility was finally restibr-ed and twelve of * the national guar* — The high"; art! were arrested gh price of . corn in' Ft sdnt to ce will people, . . . no longer be ac&use of irritation to the for the Paris papers represent it as having been -considerably diminished in Consequence pf the abundant harvest that is anticipated.

Several fortifi cations were begun upon the lakes immediately after peace was made. Some vessels also were laid down—both require guns and stores. It is known also that the barracks at Quebec were burnt, and a considerable quantity of stores des troyed. These must be replaced, and govern ment are sending them out at a proper time of the year. August 3. We had the pleasure to announce yesterday erte termination of the war in India, by the final ratification of the treaty of peace with Nepaul, on the 4th March. This important intelligence is communicated in the Calcutta Gazette Extra ordinary, of the 15th of March-, brought by admi ral Cockburn, who reached town yesterday from Portsmouth, where he arrived on Thursday from St. Helena. v The ship Sherburne, charged with despatches, arrived at St. Helena on the 18th June, the day previous to sir George sailing from thence in his majesty’s ship Northumberland.— The campaign which produced this happy re sult, although of not more than*a fortnight’s du ration, produced, however, several smartactions; in one particular which took place on the 2»i or 3d of March, the enemy resisted with great bravery; about five hundred of them fell in bat tle, and our loss was comparatively small; tho’ there is some slight foundation for the report which reached this country, through France, that the company’s troops had been worsted, in asmuch as they were, we understand, in the first instance, taken by surprize, (probably through some advantage of local knowledge possessed by the enemy) but soon recovered themselves, repulsed the assailants, and obtained the victo ry which led to the important diplomatic trans action above described. iy of Algiers; , but it wbs maritime power", was to indefenefe'dffoe place, or to co operate Wifo the hostile armaments, which are exp$0£d to consist of three distinct squadrons, frbiff%reat Britain, the United States and from Holland, Several inhabitants of Algi&s, lately from Africa,iwere on this exchange^to-day, and they'represent the preparations ol the dey, as .very considerable, and indulge (he confident ex- •pectation that the British admiral will be frus trated (n his designs. rAftis, July 17. ...

We have received news from Africa; it ap pears that the dey of Algiers has engaged in his quarrel all the Barbarv powers, and that the emperor of Morocco follows the same system of attacking against the Christians.

The accounts from Smyrna are very distres sing. A population of 120,000 inhabitants con tinues to groan under the rod of a handful ot Turkish agents. The inhabitants frequently avenge themselves on the jannissaries whom they find alone. For some time the latter do not go out at night, but confine themselves to their barracks.
