THE ARCHDUKE FRANCIS. MALTA, JUNE 29. You have no doubt heat d of the design formed some to to by the Archduke Francis, to escape from Austrian dominions. It was tut:lowed he was so iguste,t at the slavery of his Lundy, and ascendancy the French iii Vienna, he was desirous of absenting nisell from scenes of humiliation, and it was con- FOMIGY INT2LLIGENCE. PARIS, JULY 18. The Grand Fleet still remains in the port of Toulon, in which it is continually performing evolutions. 'the greatest activity prevails in the duck yards. The con centrated force of the English, in the Mediterranean, is near Minorca. The greater part of the English troops has left Messina. CHRIS FIANSAND, JULY 17. A Norwegian privateer, the commander of which is one of those 'nen whom the Regent has before ho noured for his merits, has cut out of harbour, in Scotland, where the privateer captured had previously been on shore to reconnoitre a Scotch sloop, laden uith sea-weed ashes, in sight of many of the inhabi tants, and brought the vessel, with her cargo and the merchant who was on board her, safe into Bergen. FEHMIRN, JULY II On the 18th instant, at half-past one o'clock in the morning; the English made another attempt upon the Danish vessels lying in Fehmern Sound, with the intent either to carry them off or set fire to them ; bot, by the vigilance and activity of the commanding officer, and by a well-directed fire from the battery, they were di ;Veil from a vessel which they had already taken posse,,ion of. One of the English long boats must have suffered greatly by the grape-shot, it being perceived that the people on bond endeavoured int- . mediately to get into another lung boat, and took their own in tow. HOLSTEIN, JULY CI. The enemy has a third time failed in his attempt to carry off the vessels which are on the coasts of the Sound. In the night between the 17th and 18th, some boats manned with numerous crews, took ad vantage of the obscurity of the night to steal into the Sound, and seize a ship at anchor, the crew of which they surprised in a profound sleep. The enemy, fa voured by a good wind, thought to carry off his prey unmoles►ed, but he was perceived by good fortune by the batteries erected on both sides the Sound, and the brisk fire they immediately made upon him, forced him to abandon his prey, and seek safety in flight.— Continual cries, and the sight of the people who com posed the crews, jumping from one boat into another, lead us to suppose that one of them was struck by a twelve-pounder, and that some discharges of grape shot caused great loss to the enemy. We owe to the vigilance of the detachments placed on both sides the bound, and the well-directed fire from the batteries, the retaking of 13 laden vessels, which the enemy had seized and was carrying away under a press of sail. MARIBOE, JULY 25. At six o'clock in the evening of yesterday a convoy passed trom the northward. It consisted of three ships of the line, two brig cutters, and 72 merchant vessels. COPENHAGEN, JULY as. A foreigner of the name of Somnerfeldt, who has twice been ordered by his Majesty to quit the Danish Kingdoms and Provinces, and to be transported over the borders, ham nevertheless had the audacity to re , turn again, and his Majesty himself met him on the evening beiore the last, at three-quarters past tea ' o'clock, and caused him to be arrested in the Royal Paince of Anialienburg. ILa was aimed with three pistols, two of which were loaded with bullets, and he.was taken from thence to the citadel of Frede ricksharn. His Majesty has, on this occasion, appointed a special court, under the presilincy of Major-General Von Lorentz, who are directed to examine, with the strictest care and diligence, by what means the said SomnerlelJt has apin returned into his Majesty's states, the reason of his having privately entered into the Royal Palace, &c. iered a singular coincidence, that the brother of maparte, and the brother of the Emperor of AtIL• al, equally ashamed of the Corsican's triumphs, VIENNA, JULY 27.
