By the Fair American we have received London papers to the 23d of July. Their contents are not very important. There is every appearance of a rigid prosecution of the war, and the idea of peace seems to have vanished like a golden dream, leaving no traces worth depending on. On this subject private letters from London speak positive as to a continuance of the war- one, of which we were favored with a perusal by a friend, dated 22d July says, "you may rely on there being no peace as yet. Those who seemed most sanguine are beginning to acknowledge themselves deceived while every act of the ministry, and the arrival and departure of every courier to the continent is watched, and their intentions and business interrupted. But all will not do--the people begin to find themselves imposed on by stock jobbers. A courier arrived yesterday from France, a cabinet council was immediately held, and peace was soon after resounded on 'change, but it is actually understood that Bonaparte has refused to negotiate until England acknowledges his continental regulations, and then he will treat with her for peace on terms most suitable to form the haughtiness of Europe and the prosperity of the French empire."
Other letters mention the prosperous state of American affairs, and the good light in which Mr. Pinckney's mediation was viewed.
It is stated that Bonaparte has obtained leave of the Porte to march an army through the Turkish provinces into Egypt, a measure indicative of his intention to carry on the war far and near.
There was no debate of consequence in Parliament for the last few days, being principally engaged in local matters. We observe three days debate on the most proper manner to preserve the manure of the barracks from being fraudulently made way with.-An important subject truly!
A cabinet council was held on the 21st, on which his majesty's speech for the prorogation of Parliament was read.
