ADMIRALTY OFFICE, NOV. 14. Copy of a Letter from Captain Brawne, of his Majesty's Sloop the Plover, addrvsed to Admiral Young, Commander in Chief at Plymouth, and transmitted by the Litter to Jahn Yoribon Croter, Esq. His Majesty's Sloop Plover, off Scilly, Nov. 6. Sir—l beg to report to you that at four o'clock this evening a lugger was seen from the mast head bearing south-east, and a brig in chace of her E. N. E. (which proved to be his Majesty's sloop Ac teon. His Majesty's sloop Orestes was in the N. W. and joined in the pursuit) at 40 minutes past seven his Majesty's sloop under my command, ran , her alqngside, when she proved to be the French lugger privateer le Lezard, of St. Maio, manned with 57 men, and pierced for fourteen guns, but not any found on board ; sailed from the Isle de Bas last night, and has not made any capture. From the judicious position kept by Lord Viscount Neville, of the Actieon, and Captain Davies, of the Orestes, her escape would have been difficult. I have to add, that the Plover, in company with those sloops, has recaptttred the English ship Wey mouth, from Gibraltar, just about to enter the port of Aber-wrath. I have the honour to be. &c. PHILIP BROWSE. RIO JANEIRO, SEPTEMBER IS. The Bear has arrived this morning from Rio dela Plata, which brings intelligence that the New Vice roy of Buenos Ayres has granted permission to all English Residents at that place and its vicinity, to prolong their stay in the country for three months from the date of the 16th August, after which time they will not be permitted to remain there. The treaty that was to have been signed in the lat tor end of August has not been concluded, but T sup pose it will reach your country by the Lord Hobart packet. Had it been definitively arranged in time, it would have been sent by the Confiance sloop of war which sailed on the 23d ult. It is conjectured here that the delay in signing the treaty is owing to a new change of things with our neighbours the Spaniards ; yet 1 cannot positively say whether there is any nego. elation going forward in the La Plata, which was spoken of as a certainty at the time of Sir Sidney Smith's departure. Nevertheless, the obstructions that were previously in the way of commerce at La Plata, are now in some measure removed by the smuggling trade, which is allowed only to pacify some of the disorderly persons at Buenos Ayres. In whatever way this is permitted, it is understood only to extend to the period of the English residence. The ships that have unloaded will not be permitted to take in any cargo for England, but they now pro ceed with cargoes to Rio Janeiro and Paraguay, which no doubt, the Spanish Government is aware of. I believe that Admiral De Courcy is still off La Plata, or in its vicinity. We have no ship of war here, but expect the arrival of the Marquier frigate, with three brigs and a cutter, that took convoy from England to the Cape in May last. The Lord Hobart packet is appointed to sail on the 20th inst. when, if any thing occurs, I shall not fail to advise you of it. FRANCE. PRIVATE LETTER FROM FRANCE. " - NOV. 4, 1809. " Bonaparte passed though Meaux, on the 26th of October, at three o'clock ; he appeared unusually pale and fatigued ; a handkerchief was tied round his head ; on a faint cry of " Vive Napoleon !—Vive l'Empereur!" he scarcely nodded his head. baggage was on its route for Bayonne—troops march ing from all parts of the north for Spain. He goes after the meeting of the Senate. " Joseph Bonaparte is to be King of Italy. Spain to be treated as a conquered country, and divided into twelve Governments. " Beauharnois is to be King of Poland ; that part lately wrested from the Austrians to form a p4rt of the kingdom. I gg Not a light more than the ordinary lamps were seen at Paris on the announcing of peace, although the Mon:tear boasted of a general joy and illumina tion ; no such thing; the Parisians are as indifferent to any peace on the Continent as the Khann of Tar ; nary. They complain loudly of the Corsican's ambi tion—pray for peace with England, with whom they are not enemies. it is the Corsican himself, and those I who are enjoying military rank and places, that are for war—but they wish for repose. There is no com merce ; Paris presents perfectly splendid misery a few carriages, and those by no means convey any great idea of riches. Coffee, sugar, cloth, all cotton manufactures, augment amazingly in price. The theatres not .half full, excepting the pit. Bills are stuck up every night at St. Cloud, Malmaison, and in the streets, that the police are employed in taking down. The farmers ruined, cannot pay their servants or their labourers, but in kind, wheat being so cheap and so plentiful. Where they dare speak I never was witness to so much discontent, in every department ; and this new call of 36,000 men (which will be treble) has filled up their cup of sorrow. " The flower of the army is cut off. The Impe rial Guard, not one out of ten that left Paris in April last, returned without loss of limb or severely wound ed ; the privates and subaltern officers speak freely. —His army is composed of thousands of Prussians, whom he took prisoners, and never suffered to re turn, in violation of the Treaty of Peace. The Conscripts wound and maim themselves to prevent serving. " The new public works are not paid for : the person who is repairing tiv Thuilleries, &c. has not been paid a sous since two years, and then on Go vernment bonds, at more than twelve per cent. dis. count. " Sir Thomas Lavie was thrown into prison, and conveyed at four in the morning to St. Menehould, a small fortification near Verdun ; his papers seized, and no one knew for why—a most wicked breach of good faith. " They treat our prisoners with uncommon cru elty ; thumb-screwed, a chain round their.necks find bodies, conducted from brigade to brigade . notl.ing but bread, no wine, no beer, no meat, oftentimes with- . out straw, and put into dungeons full of water; chained often with galley slaves or other criminals. This severity has forced many to enter into their ser vice ; 600 already clothed and armed, passed t! rough Meaux for Bayonne. They swore to me they would desert ; above thirty had. lam sure, poor fellows, they entered into the service with no other vier►, than running away ; but, alas ! I fear they will never suc ceed. 44 A transport about the end of August foundered on her return from Lisbon, commanded by a Capt a i n Collins. He took to his boats; one with five, the other, himself, wife, and seven sailors ; the firmer upset close to them, and all perished. A very heavy gale, neither water or provisions, expecting to be up set every moment. Finding it was impossible to fetch the Channel, they bore up for the French coast, and arrived near Brat, having suffered dreadfully ; their tongues so swollen they could not put them out of their mouths. They were considered as prisoners of war, treated with great humanity by Caffr e ili, the Minister of Maiine, and his wife, but after that they were conducted from brigade to brigade, l o d ge d i n the most horrid prisons, and only allowed to go four leagues a day. Often was Collins obliged to stand with his knife drawn, to protect his young wife, not nineteen, from insult. Above three weeks were they before they arrived at Verdun. " This, unhappily, is not the only instance of their barbuli:y towards all prisoners, women as well as men." LONDON. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 15. PRICE OF STOCKS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK : S per Cent.

Cone. for aec. 70ift Dispatches from the Leeward Islands were re ceived this morning, brought to Plymouth by the PHEASANT SlOOp of war. The yellow fever, we are sorry to learn, has carried off a number of people at Martinique and other islands. Dispatches have also been received by the WooL. WICH store-ship, arrived at Portsmouth from Gibraltar, which she left on the 29th ult. The FORMIDABLE was to sail the next day for England ; and the DONEGAL was expected to sail the same day from Cadiz, with the Marquis WELLESLEY on board, for England. We have received some reguier sets of French papers, including the Monitentv to the sth instant. We find in these Journals scarcely any important political article which has not been already announced. BONAPARTE has manifestly the intention of remain ing for some time at Fontainbleau, since the Ministers of Foreign Powers have all received an intimation to go thither to do business with him. The first circle, or what in England we call drawing-room, was held at the Palace on Sund ty the 29th ult. at which the Emperor received in great state all the Foreign Mi nisters, as well as all the Ministers and Dignitaries of his own Court. Marshal NEv is arrived at Fontainbleau from Spain, and had a long audience of the Emperor. He was accompanied by the Marquis d'AERNDAGNA, the Chamberlain of King JOSEPH ; and it appears that some imp •rrant change is meditated in the destiny of tivir kingdom. The performers of the Serious Opera, as well as the Comedic Francoise, are ordered to repair to Fontain bleau to give representations, and, of course, that place is all the ton. German papers to the Ist instant have also reached us, and private letters from St. Petersburgh of so late a date as the 29th ult. The death of the Empress of AUSTRIA is contra dicted in these Journals, but her recovery is not ex pected. The Russian troops lately occupying Gallicia are reported to have been ordered to march eastward to the Turkish provinces. If this account be correct, the report of the disputes between ALEXANDER and BONAPARTE is either unfounded, or, if any such dif ferences existed, harmony and confidence are restored. The French, or rather the Bavarian Commander in the Tyrol, has officially intimated to his Court, that the Tyrolese are willing to lay down their arms. Count METTERNICH, the late Austrian Ambassador, at Paris, is appointed Minister for Foreign Affairs in the room of Count STADION. Letters from Vigo to the date of the 26th ult. have arrived, from which it appears, that the peasantry of all the adjacent country is provided with pikes or fire arms, and that the inhabitants are in the best disposi tion to support the public cause. A Gentleman, who has had the good fortune to escape from the:French, has just arrived from Spain. He states, that all the convents and public buildings at the Spanish capital are full of sick and wounded Frenchmen, who are crowded into them to the number of 18,000. An endeavour was made by JOSEPH to raise a native regi ment under his own banners from the prisoners and others in the vicinity of Madrid ; and to facilitate this purpose, two or three thousand of them were kept without food for upwards of two days, when they were invited to partake of the Royal bounty, and to enlist under the new King. In this feeble condition, from the want of natural sustenance during so long an interval, the Spaniards rejected the proposal, with the exception of two hundred, who entered the ranks. It is said, that the attempt to raise Spanish battalions in France has been yet more unproductive. From 20,000 prisoners, only about 50 Spaniards have been seduced by ultimate threats and promises to enrol themselves in the French service. PROM THE FRENCH AND GERMAN PAPERS. VIENNA, OCTOBER 29. The report of the death of the Empress of Austria is fortunately found to be false ; her 11bjesty is, how ever, in a state which leaves but little hope. His Excellency the Prince of Neufchatel and Wa gram, and the staff of the army, are still here. The Prince is employed in pointing out to the divisions of the different corps of the army, the positions which they are to take according to the orders of the Em peror.— Monittur, Nov. 3. MUNICH, OCTOBER es. The division of General Wrede arrived on the 22d inst. at Schwatz, wheace he proceeded towards Hall, on his way to Inspruck. We are assured that a Courier has to-night brought an account that General Wrede entered that city on the 23d.

PEEERSEURCII, or " Since the signature of the treaty of Vienna, ' almost wholly engrossed the public attention ; s o , so, that link else has been talked of. I n t hi s ci far as they dare, people are divided into thrreps —the French party by far the strongest ; the Rut party which ranks next in number —and the E n o party which is weak indeed. It may not be uh ,.„ ( taining or uninstructive to give you a sketch (A tt various opinions concerning the late arrangem ent. {t In the first place the French party are for ev er deavouring to point out the it;finite and incalc.:,! ;. advantages resulting to Russia from it, the territory, and the increase of power acquit e,l, commanding - authority it give. her over : ei enemy, AtFtria ; the check t., all her prrcet.t.: and the curb upon all her design.

Some few, who class themselves with neither contemplate this treaty merely as the prelude tt re-e-tablishment of the kingdom of Poland, whi with the aid of the forces of Bonaparte, may keep , check either the growing power of Austria or Russia. ig The ministry are, to all intents and put completely of the French, the peopl- of solid pi and understanding are of the Russian, and the n chants are chiefly English party.

According to the late Treaty with Russia, will continue to trade with Finland on the same ing as formerly. The debts of the Kingdom of Sweden amount ; present to 11,31.5,335 rix dollars banco. This Viii ation is official. On the l'ith of this month, the strange intelli was received at Elsineur, from Sweden, that Admiral Saumarez had entered the port of Carlscrona with five ships of the line and some frigates. While ue wait the confirmation of this news, we are lost in a thousand conjectures with respect to the prob.:' taus 2s of this unexpected event. It is asked whether the wantiff fresh water obliged Admiral Saumarez to enter a Swedish port ; whet::et he meant to make a long stay there ; or whether h: has some motive of still higher importance, which cannot yet divine ? According to the last letters frem Corsoer, a Can• nonading was heard there the day before yesterday, from the south, from one in the afternoon till the evening. It was presumed that the galley fleet and the enemy's convoy, which had been for some days at anchor near Westernoes, had come to an action. There were also above Strogoc, three enemy's shipc of the line; and a frigate from the Ilaittc had bedca cast anchor near Ramsae.—Moniteur, Nov. 4. DRESDEN, OCTOBER 26.
