FRANCE. PARIS, °mom ss. Admiral Banta: has given an account to the Mini (ter of Marine, in a letter of then 3th of Venaemiaire, (Otiober s), of the arrival at Boulogne of fizty rel iefs from the flotilla at Havre, under the command of the Captain of a frigate, P This divition of the flotilla p atted by force through the Englilh cruizers. A fquadron, compofed of le veret frigates and corvettes, attacked its rear guard off Fec.mp, the gun boats faced the enemy and fought with fpirit. The enemy's frigates, abandoning the field of battle. towed away one of their corvettes which had bees very roughly handled. All the in habitants of Fecamp were witneffes of this engage ment, and one of the gun boats, which had molt dif tinguilbed itfelf, was honoured with loud acclama tion from the fpeitators. Near Dieppe, off D'Ailli, Captain P Moercasate fullained a fecund en gagement, which lafted more than two hours, and was not lets honourable.

AVOSSURGH, OCTOBER 4. (via Faascs.)---The negotiations relative to territorial changes in the North of Germany have hitherto been iivitreaual.— It is even aliened, that the exchange of the Margra viate of Lufatia will not take place, although it was Paid that every thing on this fubjea was finally ar ranged. The Court of Vienna, which prefers that Saxony fhould hold Lufatia rather than Pruffia, ap pears to have urged the Cabinet of Dreffien to raife difficulties, and it is believed, that this has determin ed the-King of Pruffia to give a definitive organixa don to the principality of Echsfeld, including the city of Erfon, with the other provin:es which have fallen to his (hare by the treaty of indemnity.— This organitittion being no longer provifional, like the former one given to thefe States, it is concluded there will be no longer any queffion about their alienation. They MS believe h Germany, that the States of the Eleftor of Hanover, in Lower Saxony, will come under the Pruffian Government; but there isnot the leaft foundation for the report which has prevailed, 1 that the Prufil in troops were about to occupy that country immediately. We are furprifcd to fee that the Biitifh Minifity, l which ought to have cattle to indulge, and even to flatter, the Continental Powers, behave with a ma &felt feverity towards the Court of Vienna, fence the Aullrian Monarch is railed to an Hereditary Empire. Venice, Ocr. R.—The Emperor has permitted the exportation of grain from Hungary by the Adri atic, on paying the dual duty. On the 6th a brigantine arrived in our port, in (even days front Cotfu. The Captain relates, that Ruffian troop.: continue to arrive in tb - at ifland with ammunition and orovitions. The lett tranfports brought a deal of heavy artillery, together with fif teen thoufand (addles fur the cavalry, which, if true, is no inconfiderable quantity. There are five Kuf.

Yefterday a Ltig arrived in our port, having on board a Ruffian courier, with difpatches for the Coat of Ruflia : they were immediately for ' warded by another courier to Peter:burgh. We read, in the Menit or j• 'Li *6 under the date of Prevaa, Attall: [4, that a Zochafat, or State Meffenger, had :unwed there tirm Conftanti nople' when prefectly Abdul ..Iga held a conference with Chevalier Viaffepaln, the Ruffian Conful, at which the faid Manger ailifled. As loon as the re- Gilt of this conference was communicated to I'a cha, he gave orders for the evacuation of the late Venetian territory by the Turks, to begin at Presets. This evacuation takes place, no doubt, in virtue of the feventh article of the convention between RIIMA and the Porte, concluded the a ift of March, aSoo, by which it is alfo Itipulated, that no Mahornedan than fettle in that: territory, or be permitted t ac quire poffeflions there.

The fquadron would, in confequence, have already left Ferrol, had not an Aid.de-camp of the Spaniih Minifler of Marine at. rived from Cadiz with difpatchcs, which induced him to wait for further inflruaions from France. It is believed at Ferrol, and on board the French fleet, that the (hips which are equipping at Cadiz and Bar celona, will co-operate with the French as auxiliaries only to a certain diftanee from the Spanifb coat, as [ the Splint Cabinet regards its neutrally encroached upon by the ftrietnefs of our blockading fquadron. 1 1 'niece Dutchmen. afrert, that the greated anarchy 1 and difcontent prevail all over Spain ; that the in t*urre6tion, which began near Bilboa, has extended to the neighbouring provinces; and that the infurgents amounted to qpwardsof 60,000 men, and were daily inereafing. 'This latter report was confirmed by an American captain from. Corinna, who added, that [ the leaders of ibeinfurrettion are Spaniards formerly in the French fervice, and young men educated in France. The common belief among all claire+ of people is, that the difrolution of the Spanifli Monar chy, or at leaf a general revolution is at hand. This dangerous fuperflition is kept up by pretended pro phecies, circulated by Spain& prieQ+ is French pity and it will, therefore, not be furprifiog, if an igno rant people, thus deluded, and alfo tormented by famine and difeafe, will, from defpair, leek a remedy in the wort of all evils, a rebellion. underhand that Mr. Courvs, the banker, has received letters from his correfpondent in Paris, that all Are Englifh priloners at Verdun, with the oxen- I tion of Lord Eto', have been put into dole confine ment, and that the departure for England of SirJamas Csmums is molt iniquitoufly affigned as the caufe of this harth meafure. It is molt clear that Sir jams was not a prifoncr of war. He bare the facted and privileged charatter of a Minifter, and n law of nations cnuld impnfe upon him a parole; n thr.r did he, in truth, break a parole. But th. fpirit of reta liation, in which the meafure of clofe confi cement is diAated, will produce the moil cruel effeas if perfifted in. Our Government has been in the habit of grant ing an extra allowance, over the ration of the French, for the coral - we of our &amen, and this has been foe nailed by Capt. BUNTON who drew on Mars. Tito MA$ CourTS and Co. through M. PIILRLGAUD. Captain BRENTON now writes that he is obliged to flop this allowance, as Ire can no longer fee the due , application of it. It is reported that our Government will adopt a regulation v. refpea w French prifoners, (=lir ta that which the French Government has put in force. Government, we underhand, has received certain intenigence of the Emperor Att sus having or dered the French Charge d'Affaires to quit Petal burgh in twenty foul hurs. This puts an end to all further fpccolations reipcaing the prefervation of peace between the two Powers. It is reported in the belt informed circles, that the departure of the French Emperor from Mentz was battened by imelligence from Praia, of a very prang &let iptinn. • Four couriers arrived on the morning of the slay on wh: , :h he fct off. He had propofed to go by the way of Holland, and orders had been if fired accordingly, Lit they were fuddenly counter manded. It is even hifpered; that, the coronation, which was originally intended to take place on the 9th of November, will be put off to a mere conve nient opportunity ; the yreparatiens, however, for that event, are at prefcm coctinued on a very extra vagant kale.
