GERMAN?. HAIIIIMCIP, ()crow. 30.—N0 further accounts which can be relied on have been received here refp eft tog Sir Gloats& RowliOLD. It is reported, however, that after his papers were examined by BILIMADOTTI at Hanover he Was conveyed to Paris. Several quelliottswere put to him, it is laid, by BIRMADOTTI, but he declined giving any anfwer. After the Preach troops had embarked him here, their muac &opt playing as they dropped down the Elbe. The Ruffian htinifter, M. Foasswatt, and the Swedith Chajr d'Affaires, have declared that they con fi der the hes as no longer Cafe in this thy. They have neebnfingly fent Couriers to their refpative Courts, requening permillion to depart. The public in general here feel the highen indig nation at this new infult, but not a word of it has as Crlmen inferred in the public papers, either at Ham g6ar Holnein. I have beard from a refpeltable Eagan merchant, *at Sir Gmac s was more than once warned againn the attempts of Bo AAAAA re's banditti, and I am therefore in hope that they have made no feixure of any papers very interefling ; bad they attacked him the inght before, it is probable they would have been more fuccefsful, as he then fent away voluminous ellfpatches with a meffenger for Holum. That this Unheard of event has canted a great deal of brittle among the members of the diplomatic corps here is not Corps ding I but it was not expetted that even the Pruffsan Mininer would have joined with the others, as be did , in demanding an exPlanation, and clearing tat affurance from Boa 'a Minifler that the Wes of nations would be repelled, in regard is the Other diplomatic agents is this city. The Ruffian Ambaffador here fent away two couriers to inform his Sovereign of this new outrage of France, one by way of Lubeck, and the other by way of Pram.— He, with all other foreign Mainers and Confuls, have given up their country houfes in this neighbour hood ; and the Senate has ordered. for the future, the guards at our gates to be doubled. Among other Beast pieces feised by the French marauders, were thoufand marks in cans, which he the day be fore had taken from the banking-houfe of Meffrs. Tao:ma-row and Co. for Tome momentary expences. Of his wardrobe and linen, nothing remains, every din being plundered ; even his books were torn to pieces or carried away. His terrain was not per mitted, as he anted, to accompany his matter. whole indifferent Rate of health flood much in need of a faithful attendant. The French General Fasts put Sir Groans's watch, Conte printed Englith pates. and the feats of his office into his own pocket, fur what puipofe you ma eafily fuppofe. Four perfans of thole with Fasas (poke good Engin:lt, and one of them was either a Math lubjeA or an American.— Tbe fervent has been examined both before the Syn dic, by the Englith Conful, and by the Ruffian Am lbaffador ; and his depoation upon oath has been taken and fent to feveral continental Courts, as well as to England, where he will probably arrive as loon as this letter. The Dennis Government has ordered two more regiments to reinforce the troops at Altona; and the Duke of Brunfwkle, as the Duke of Heck knborgh before hints, has fent his mon precious ef money, pi/tares. arms, &c. to Magdrburgh, in /harm, as a place of &fay, It is raid, that the de lineation of our Senate, which, lan Friday, let out for Berlin, was not only charged to complain of the late violation of our territory, but to demand, for future proteltion, a Prutfian garrifon as long as the French occupy Hanover. Nothing bat terror, dill say, fulpicion, and wretchednefs prevail here, and every where elf: in that unfortunate Elediorate. Louis XVIIL has poritively declined all the marks Of royal ditlinaion paid to him in Sweden. The pa raraph inferred in the Isteraargh Carefpondret, Rating du the Emperor of Rullia had refuted to permit him to meet the Princes of his family in Ruffia, is void of all foundation, and owes its infertion to the influence of the French, which teems to have become irretiiii- We in this part of Germany. On the 21R intl. a French Courier patted through Copenhagen, with uifpatches, recalling all the French Commercial Agents from Sweden. Letters from Vienna of the soth inn. Rate, that fe sreral regim,:nt, in the two Gallicias, are ordered to be put on the sear eflablithment. The orders were itrued on the lame day, when a Ruffian courier, who lately brought difpatches to that Court, returned with Lis anfwer to Pctereaurgh. The difpatches he brought were deem: cl by Count CORI:NT/EL of fuch high im portance, inat he immediately fent the Reporter of the Imperial Privy Council, Count Cot.t.t ma \CM. to lay them before the Em 'alto', at Prague. :here oc currences have given rife to a multiplicity of political conjeCtures in tie higher circles at Vienna.

General BARNETT, whom our lift advices deferibed as being moil aftive in adminifter ing relief to die lick, and proving hirnfelf a father to the improreEt:d orphans, has fallen a facrifice to his humanity. Letters of the Bth mention his indifpo : he became worfe on the 9th, and died on the following day. Lord Poona m Cotnrow, Aid-de. Camp to the General, (oared his dangers and his fate. Major RALeIGH is alfo dead. It has been clearly afcertained that the fever is of the fame nature as that which had proved fo deffrue tire at Malaga, and was introduced froM that place into Gibraltar through the medium of a Spanifh Fa mily. A great deal of the mifchicf has been attri buted to an unfortunate difference of opinion among the medical men at Gibraltar, refpaling the na. tore of the diforder, and the manner of treating it. —When the mortality fiat began to be fo great, a cordon of troops was drawn round the town, to pre vent any intercourfe with thole out ci!' it ; but it was removed in conlequence of the violent clamour of the people in the tcran, at being Phut up where the fever committed Each dreadful ravages. No fooner were the troops withdrawn, than the people mixed in difcriminately with each other, add the mortality con. Cequently increafed. Two hundred perfons were raid to have got on board a fis;p bowid to Malta, who had agreed to give twenty guineas each for their paffage. The grata part of them, it is feared, were dictated, when the trip failed; and as no mcdi. cal afillance was on board, their lunation mull be dreadful. Thirty others cleared on board another veffel, and engaged for a paffage to Oran ; they were alfo without medical aid, and their fate was what might be expiFsl,:d from their imprudence. Twenty. (even of thole unfortunate perfons died in the courfe of a day or two, and the remaining three jumped overboard when in fight of the MA11)31'0141 frigate, in hopes of being picked up and conveyed to Eng land. The frigate raved their lives, but fent them into Giaraltar. On the morning of the t tth, the wind had changed and rain wa.: expeeled, which bad • been long wthed for to clear the air. An a.ta...k from the Sprniards, its the relent dif fretted flaw of the Gwif‘u, u much aPPicheuclA by many. Our accounts frnm Cadiz reach down to the lsth ult. at which time the fever continued to rage : the deaths amounted to about fixty a day. Such is the apathy of the inhabitants, that very little alarm ap. pears to be excite." among them. This is afcribed to the great numbers that have already had the diforder, and, therefore, are not liable to take it a fccond time. Some accounts from Spain Rate, that a perfonage of the fira rank and confequence in that kingdom is now in confinement. We do not pretend to under hand who is meant, but we hope the intelligence will prove unfounded. It is Hated, that the KING of Paussta bas been fo offended with the condud of France, refpeding Sir Gaoacs Rumaotn, that he has determined to permit no more French troops to pals into the Eledlorate of Hanover and the North of Germany. This can hardly be correct. It is only twelve days lime Sir Gccutos was kidnapped, More time muff pars be fore the determination of any of the Continental Courts can be known. Yenerclay morning, about eght o'clock, his Majefly left Windfor in his travelling carriage and four, ef carted by a party of the Oxford Blu e s, to Cranford. bridge, where his MAPS/ITT changed bones, and was efcorted by a party of the light bode to Kew. His MAJZSTY alighted from his carriage, and inipetted the progrefs that has been made in the New Palace fine his flay at Weymouth. His MAJISTY then pro ceeded to London, and arrived at the Queen's-houfe about a quarter before twelve. His Mail STY, im- mediately on his arrival, gave an audience to the Princefs of WALES, who had been waiting lance i r o'clock, to congratulate him on his fafe return from Weymouth. Her Royal Highnefs partook of Come refreflament with his MAJESTY, and about half paft one her Royal Highnefs fet off for Blackheath. II About two o'clock his MA irrry gave audiences to the Lord Chancellor and Lord Hawkdbory, after which his Majelly held a Privy Council, which was attended by the Duke of Montrofe, Earl, Chatham, Camden, Aylesford, Vircount Caillereagh, Lords St. Helen's, Melville, Hawkefbory, Hartowby, Arden, EUenborough, Mulgrave, Sir Charles Morgan, Mi. Pitt, Mr. Long, and Mr. Canning. Mr. Faulkner attended as Clerk of the Council. The Council broke up at a quarter before four o'clock, when his tdayssry gave audiences to Mr. Pitt, Lord Harrowby, Earl of Chatham, Lord Mel ville, Earl of Aylesford, and Sir Charles bl organ, they engaged his Majed . , till fi x o'clock. About a quarter pad fi x, his Majelly fet off for Windior. The KISG, when on a with lately to Lord Raw*, paid particular attention to a pifture of Gaattca. His Lordthip, with that politenefs and attention fo peculiar to the old court, took an opportunity of re quelling his Majelty's acceptance of the refemblance of a performer, who, whiff living, had ever received the moll gracious marks of royal aeon and appro bation. Yetlerday the Earl of Caynt■ gave a Cabinet dinner. Yellerday morning Mr. Purr arrived in tnwn frntn Staninnre, where he had been on a unfit to the Mar quis of A asacoaw fence Saturday. The Swedill and Danifh Amberadors had each a long interview yefterday with Lord Ittaaowar, at his Office, in Downing-Greet. Laft night the Earl of MOta♦ arrived from Scot land, at his haute in St. James's place. The Duke of Bucci.Nuott fet off yellerday morn ing from his feat at Richmond, for Dalkeith Palace, near Edinburgh, to witncf the nuptials of his Son Lord MowTaout. with the Hon.

MALTA TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. Sra—During the negociations for peace, your warning voice refounded, and not in vain, throughout the whole Britifh Empire, the neceffity of retaining Musa. Of late you have been filent on the fubjed s concluding, probably, that we were fixed in the fecure poffeffion of it. I, indeed, allow the determination of our Cabinet to guard it againa the known willies and pretenfi'ns of France. But hints have been repeat edly given in the papers, under the article of " Fo. reign Intelligence," that it was to be given to RuLLa. This I treated with ridicule, recolleding that the pre fent Mipifter had rifked, and produced the hoftility oi' PAUL, rather than pan with it. B9t, very lately, an article from Genoa was pompoufly given, with Come authority, flating that Rem was to P#fi Malta, common will. ou. I have heard of a large 'nand, like St. Domingo, polfeffed by two powers. I have heard of leveret nations colonizing Madagarcar, Java, Su. matra, &c. It is poflible that I may hear of fettle ments male by different nations on the North and Weft of New Holland, without interfering with our eftablilhments in the Lta. But I have never heard that a (mall Wand, whore importance lies in an im- pregnable fortrefs, was held by two powers. Is the chief command to be alternately in the hands of the English and of the Roffians ? !fib, it is not neceffary to recur to the Mao: y of Ertocxxs and Foxrxicts to forefee what will be the event. If this arrangement is intended as a prelude to the furrender of MALTA to the Ruffians, I conjure Mi niflers to pule, before they lay the axe to the root of their country's honour and intereft. It is the obvious policy of Ruffia to edablifh a formidable naval force in the Mediterranean. Her views on Turkey, her defire of riling to eminence as a maritime power, en force the necetlhy of :wintering her fleets in that fn. Our India poiliffions will be more within her staff, s when the has atehie►ed the conqueft, or conciliated the alliance, of Perfia, than they are within the reach of France. It is far from improbable, confidering the political changes to which Ruffia is fubjeft, that the pat titian treaty which elided between Paus. any 800 o ***** vs may he renewed. In that cafe, and in many other cafe,, if we have parted with Mu.Ta , we (hall have no harbour in the Mediterranean, and Shall be forced to remain indignant, but impotent fpeltators of the execution of the van deSigns of our foes, and lofe for ever the commercial, military and political advantages, which we now derive from the Wilton of that invaluable ifland. This is one, of a tnoufand reafons, which make it treachery to give up MALTA. In imitation of Athe• nian policy, I would wills fenrence of death to be paled on the man who propole to cede it to any power on earth. Lord Misvisss, indeed, has de dared, that he never would have Signed a Peace by which we gave up MALTA But is the noble and learned Lnrd celebrated for confifiency ? Let me afk his Lordfbip whether he did not, four years ago, fend orders to Sir C Sruaar to admit a Rui flan garrifon into Malta ? and did not the gallant of ficer throw up his command, rather than be guilty of his country', ruin and difgrace ? Mr: Piro, in deed, profefles to aft according to trifling circum. panics, and thiiicundatios will bear any fabric what ever. Recoiledling the generous and affeßionate efforts of the Maltefe to expel the treacherous Knights and the opprcffive French, their ready and faithful affill- ance in trimming our fleet., and recruiting our armies, betides the innumerable advantages attending the polTeffion of that Mend, you will not be furprifed ifi a, a lover of my country, I fubfcribe myfelf, lober 19, 1804. ••• We 'rug we can quiet the fears of our Patriotic Corn fpnnekot. We believe, that if RolSan troops are uhuitted into Malta, it will be only on a temporary neesilon, when the hewn Inal4ll arc infuthcient to contain the forces preparing In the Medi terranean (or a vest °Lica.
