LONDON, JULY 8.
An officer of the Hyena, of 24 guns, on Friday arrived at the Admiralty, with dispatches from Ld. St. Vincent, who, with 21 sail of the line blockaded the French fleet in Toulon.
Ad. Gardner, with 16 sail of the line, blockaded the Spanish fleet in Carthagena; and Lord Nelson, with 19 sail of the line was off Palermo.
Latest arrivals furnish nothing momentous from the continent in addition to what we have heretofore detailed—except,
A Flying Report, by way of Newport, by an arrival there, from Cape Francois, which, from its circuitous rout, we cannot fully accredit.
That Louis XVIII had been proclaimed at Paris, and that the white flag was flying at France. If this event has not taken place, in all probability it is not far distant.
