All idea of any expedition failing from Holland till after the winter is given op, and a confiderable part of the Preach troops have marched from the coati. This intelligence is confirmed by a Gentleman who left Anglerdam on Toefday laR. Letters of the fame - date Rate. however. that the removal of the tranf. ports from the interior was only to prevent their be ing locked up by the Cron. and furnifhes no proof of an immediate attack being intended.

Lion of the orders fent to our troops in Tyrol to re take Oberhaus, he difpatched TALLEYRAND to our Ambaffackir, who accompanied him to the Thuille rice, where, in the pretence of his generals, fenaiors, and counfellors of Rate, he, in an angry and loud tone, demanded 6. how the Emperor of Germany, whole weakened Rate was proverbial, dared to aft in a hollile manner without previoufly explaining to France his motives, and demanding its mediation or decifion ?" and without permitting any reply, he added, 4 , that if the Imperial troops had entered the Bavarian territory, and after the fummons of the Eleftor of Bavaria, did not evacuate it in twenty four hours, before twenty-four days zochooo French. men thould change at Vienna the Hereditary States of Auflria into an Eleftive Republic." After this revolutionary Philippic, he turned his back upon our confuted Ambaffador, and left the room. The Archduke CHAII.Las was clofeted all yeßerday with the Emperor, and in the night a courier was fent to Sr. Peterfburgh. In the war-office there is a great deal of bunk, and the flay of the Archduke on the parade this morning was unufaally Ihort. He looked very thoughtful. The molt dißinguiffied generals have received orders to come here before the fire of January ; and the regiments deßined againa Bava ria have been fent to augment the number of our troops on the frontiers of Italy and Switzerland. All loyal men continue to regret the abfence of an Eng liflt AmbaWa3or. HareauacN, Dec. 27. —The Ruffian Ambaffidor received yefterday a courier from his Court, and had immediately after a conference with our Senate for near two hours. We know now for certain, that the plunder of France, under the appellation of a loan , in our neutral city, has highly difpleafed the virtuous Ruffian EMPIi.OII4 who has ordered his Ambaffador at Berlin, and his Charge d'Affaires at Paris, to re prefent in thong terms, how difgracefol it is for Pruffia to endure, and for France to commit, fuch re• patted violations of the laws and eufloms of civilized nations, and of the rights and proteaion which neu trality infures to all States, weak as well as powerful. Our laft letters from St. Peterfburgh mention it as a feet to be depended upon, that twelve Ruffian (hips of the line, and eight frigates and cutters, are in a thort time to join the fleet under Lord Netsos, in the Mediterranean. This fleet is befides accompanied by feveral tranfports, having in the whole 16,0c0 Ruf fian troops on board, dellined, according to report, to protea Sicily, Sardinia, or Egypt ; alike threat ened by the French armaments on the borders of the Mediterranean and Adriatic Seas. The Procla mation for augmenting the army is enforced with great feverity ; and, befides the xy,ooo men en. camped on the frontiers of Gallic ia, other corps are ordered for the eft of May in Livonia and in Ruffian Poland ; and the fame letters fay, that the Estrsaoe has determined to make three hundred thoufand of I his forces moveable nest fpring, and ready to march at a week's notice. At the fame time, the works in the dock yards, and the repait, in the Iluaian navy, 'continue without interruption. even cn Sunskys aitd by candle light. Uport :he demand of General Ha• DOVVILLE, as to the cane of there warlike prepara tions, he received for anlwer, that it was a fecret of the Err PEROR, which a look at the map of Europe may however explain. Rorreitox m. Jaa. t.—The reenc , :al of the gun hoats, other armed veffels, and trarfports, from the interior of this country to Flofhiog, is by no means a proof that the expedition againft England is on the point of failing. It may rather he conlideted as a precaution alainft the effefts t•f - the frott, when they would need:ally have been locked op for an insicter minate time, and when this pare of the very e %ten live preparations could nut have heat Wed either to terrify or an againit the enemy. Indeed, there are reports that the expedition is paponed till late in the Ipr ing. The French have flopped 'here with the purchafe of merchant and other veffels, to ferve as tratfports to the grand flotilla. The preamble to his Ruffian Imperial Majefty's Pro ' clamation, for the augmentation at his army And fleet, rays unequivocally that he is de :mined to ellen lime of his objets—if not by Fordia::on, at any are by fora.

The number of fhips art ived this year at Archan gel, and again failed from thence, amounts to 269, of which 71 were to London alone. Dec. 13.—The late reports concerning a quadru ple alliance in the North were, as is laid, without foundation ; at leatl, the continued good underttand. ing between Ruflia and France gives reafon to believe that the fy Item of neutrality hitherto followed will not be abandoned, but on the contrary, powzrfally maintained. _ . ...... - Many llupb have been urecked on our coatis in the late Dorms. _ _ On Wednefday SYNDICVS DOORMAN, Envoy from the city of Hamburg'', had an audience of the KING and the other Members of the Royal Family.

THE LATE ATTACK OFF HOULOGNE. DEAL, JANUARY 9. On the 4th Milani, Captain Owstt, of the 114 MOR TAUT!, fent to Lieutenant SHIRRIFF, who Corn. ma:tds the ARCH 61L gun brig, a reinforcement of a Lieutenant and twenty men, in order that he migh t proceed in (bore and cut out a gun brig. On their way in, they fortunately fell in with a convoy going from Calais to Doulogne, 9 and, after an anion of half an hour, which was maintained with great fpirit, they captured a gun brig. Soon after they took four of the convoy, namely—a galliot. a fituyt, and two large fithing boats, all laden with provifions and flares: they then went in chase of four others. The ARCHER received feveral (hot in her fails and rigging, but providentially no perfon on board was wounded or fuflained any injury. The gun boat carries two .Jong t B.pnunders. At one o'clock they went in dace of more of the convoy, and the reit& was the capture of another tithing boat. They had a moil fatigo;ng night : not a man on board went to reit, nor were they ob. (erred by the enemy oa More till break of day, when our brave tars were faluted with a (bower of (hot and (hells, which, however, did them no hurt. In the midi of our fuccefs. one circurnaance occurred which canted a good deal of regret : in the heat of the atlion with the gun boat. four Irithmen carried off her boat, and made their efeape on (bore. The lail fifhing boat was brought out by the Istssoara. LITZ'S Cutter.

Had the wind continued eaaetly there is reafon to think that they intended to attack our (mall fquadron, in order to be revenged. if poilible, on our daring tars, for cap. turing their convoy in their very fight. Several (hips and two cutters have joined the fquadron off Boulogne. The Atom. with two cutters under her command, is llotioned cl.,fe in to reconnoitre the movements of the enemy.
