4 FRANCE. PARIS, NOVEMBER 12. England has within two years fent ont four gape ditions. The firit was again(' Conitantinople, which was attended with the lofs of feveral (hips, the con fifcation of all Englifh merchandize and she expnlfion of their commerce from the trading ports of the Le vant. Admiral Duckworth and his fquadron were happy in being able to find fafety in flight. The fecond expedition from England was againtt Egypt. This was Hill more fhameful, more difaftrous, more difgraceful. Its army defeated at Rofetta, furrounded on its march, loft more than 4000 elude& men killed and made prifoners. In vain did the Englifh break down the dykes, cut the canals, and inundate that unhappy country, in order to fecure themfelves in Alexandria. On the std of September the Pacha arrived from Cairo, defeated them, and obliged them to furrender Alexandria, into which he made his entry on the soh. It is difficult to find a more humiliating expedition. The third Englith expedition was that again(} Monte Video and Buenos Ayres; ten thouland Eng. lath troops failed in their attack upon an unfortified town. It is true, that the hatred which the Spanifh Catholics have for the enemies of religion, turnithed them with new means againfl them, animated the whole populace with a new ardour, and the so,ono men were too happy in being permitted to retire. This expedition, which cog the Engin enormous rums, only ferved to deffroy the illufion which had induced them to imagine that it was eafy to feize, en the Spanilh poffeffions. The Portuguefe poffettions would not have offered lets refiftance. Wherever they are Catholics the intolerant Englith will find enemies. In this fatal expedition they loft more than 5000 men. Thar fourth expedition has been moll notorious— it was that of Copenhagen, the molt atrocious expe dition, of which hiltory can preferve the remem brance—the Manse with which it has covered the English Government is indelible. Why did the Eng glifh evacuate Zealand and Copenhagen, when the Dana Government would not ratify the capitula tion, and the engagement to evacuate no longer ex- Med ? Why did the Englilh evacuate, when the Prince Royal refuted to receive their Envoy ; when that Prince concluded an offenfive and defenfive alli ance with France : when he only anfwered their propofitions by the re cal of the agent he had at London ; in fine, when in his political negotiations he (peaks only of the English by calling them robbers, a name they have fo well merited ? Why ! Becaufe they are well convinced of their weakneft and inability by land. The approach of the feafon when the ice would render the at rival the Danith troops poflible, determined them prudently to take to flight, inflead of waiting for the enemy, whom they had furprifed when unarmed, and whom it would loon be need fary to combat ; a difgraceful flight, which can never be treated with too much contempt. After there four expeditions, which fo manifelly fnaw the moral and military decline of England, let us (peak of the fituation into which it has brought Portugal. The Prince Regent of Portugal lofes his throne : he lofes it, influenced by the intrigues of England ! he lofes it,. becaufe he would not feize the Englifh merchandise which was at Liibon ! What then does England, that powerful Ally ? She fees with indifference what penis in Portugal. What will the do when Tortuga' Brat' be taken ? will the go and feize upon Brazil ? No ; if the Englifh make that attempt, the Catholics will drive them out. The fall of the houfe of Braganza will remain a new proof that the delituaion of whomfoever at attaches himfelf to the Englifh, is inevitable. But in the min of. Co many difaftrous eventa, what do the Englifh Ministers with ? We do not fay England—England willies only what all nations with—Peace—and to enjoy at length tranquillity, under the reign of morality and the laws. But what does the Committee of Oligarchs which direas its Government with ? It has declared perpetual war. Thefe fyilems of perpetual war will lan no longer than thole crifes in which wild and extravagant men skint to abrogate the law of nations, and punt every thing to the extreme. The Committee of Oligarchs at London is aftuated by the fame fentiments as thole which animated our Revolutionary Committees : thole who dire& it art equally atrocious with Maroc. What did he more atrocious than to prefent to the world the profpea of a perpetual war ! Thefe Di teeters of Government will conclude, as all violent and furious men have concluded—they will become the opprobrium of their own country, and the (Ned of the hatred of all other nations. The retufal of the mediation of the Emperor Alexander, and the expedition to Copenhagen, f ficietoly reveal the fentiments of the Erglifh Minitity, and their fyflem of perpetual war.— The firit confequence of there events has there fore been to determine the nations of the Continent which were fill at peace with England, to'break:ioff in future all conneaion with her. Auntie did not hefitate : fcarccly had the Emperor Francis II received certain information of the events at Copen hagen, and the tcfnfal of the Englifh to accept the mediation of Runia, when he cleclaied war against England. Already tne blockade is dole on every tide. Lord Pembroke, when he left Vienna, in order to return to London, was forced to embark at Trielle. 'The c. , fref, ondence from Vienna can no longer arrive at London. The correlpondence of England with every part of the Continent is inter. cepted. We have in our hands, in confequence of the blockade; more than Too,ooo Englifh letters and bills of exchange to the amount of leveret millions netting. Thefe meafures mutt reduce the Englillt nation to a defperate fituation. But what does that fignify to the violent men who govern that nation ? What have they in common with the Englifh people ? Happily, on the day when circle Minifters thall be overthrown, they will become nothing. They may, for Come time, continue to aft on their maxims, but a catantophe is i n evitable ; injunice and extrava gance may for come time impede on nations, but experience has proved, that the duration of thele fcourges is trantirory. Peace, the firft of benefits to a nation, might to be the principal end of all the *llion' r f thole who govern. A Miniflry which p-ofrfres perpetual war, be tr ys the dearth interen of its country. It has loft its confidence. Ito inevitable and near approach. ing fall will faddy the inteteft ( f the nation, and of public morals. ItOVIMBIIIt 13. Lan Sunday Count Nuffelvane s Prince Gagarior M. Gaurieff, and Baron Benkendorf, belonging to the Ruffian Embaffy, were pretested to his Majetty the Emperor and King. His Majelly has put Count Tollloi on the lift of the journey to Fonrainbleau. and aligned to him an apartment in the Palace. Hopes are entertained here, that his Majefly will return to this city before the Fellival, which is to take place on the 25th and =6th infirm, as it appears by the plan, that the Deputies of the City are to receive his Maje ft y on his entry into Paris,' through the Triumphal Arch, near the Barrier St. Martin.

I pitched my tamp in the plain of Demenkhor, fix leagues from the place called Sed, an intrenched poll of the Eng• lifh. 1 fent during the night a few of the light hot fe to the fpot. for the purpofe of teconnoitring the po fition of the Englifb, and the means to be taken for furronnding them. I marched forward myfelf, and (retired the molt proper places for the railing of my batteries. and for the introduction of the aimed boats and gun harks into two Lakes, which are upon both flanks of the Sed ; this operation, per formed in the filenee of the night, having 'ailed for Tome time, could not be concealed from the know ledge of the boats which the enemy kept Rationed upon the Lakes; accordingly, he fired manfeannon flints. which happily did us no damage; however, this &II movement on our part had already given him the alarm, and the next day we faw arrive with the Major, who bed been fentito me twice before Rea negotiator, the fecond in command of the Englifh forces, accompanied by two other perfons, and who took the title of Plenipotentiary, appointed both by the Commando , of the fquadron. and by the Gene• ral of the land forces, to conclude peace ; this Ple nipotentiary produced in fupport of his charatter, his credentials.

" There propofitions, which the Englifls made without there being yet any attack on either fide, having been weighed in the Council, were accepted. It was considered that though infidels may well em• ploy cunning and craft, the (word of the true faith always predominates. On the other hand, it was ob 1 revved, that the poll of Sed could not be carded without landing troops there ; and that on account of the ground which the Nile leaves uncovered in i:s ordinary entitle, the landing depends abfolutely on the great increase of the waters of that river, which having inundated the whole (urface of the earth, would catty where favour the entrance of the boats and the gun barks. Now the overflowing of the Nile has been middling this year, and does not allow thefe barks to venture into (hallow water. It would, no doubt, be pollible to take vengeance by another means, of our enemies, bu; if we gave them time they might receive fuccours and reinforcements.— From there confiderations we confined ourfelves to Tome other conditions, and the accommodation was figned.

()cross& v.—The Dutch mail which arrived yefterday, was found full of letters from England, they were opened and burned ; they were filled with lamentations upon the ftagnation of trade ; upon the interruption and difficulty of correfpon dence; upon the conftant fall in the price of colonial produce; upon the fad and of lifting profpeet for the future. Thefe letters mention that there is now no other means of communication with the Continent, but by way of Gottenburgh and Holland 0 . The fchemes which the Englith Merthants take for correfponding with the Continent, are difficult to be believed. The greaten part of the letters are not figned, others ate dated Vienna, others only inclofe accounts current. Tl fe devices, which they have recourfe to, evidently thew to what a fad fituation the country is reduced. Whether they write in Eng. lifh, German, or French, or whether they date their letters from Vienna, Stockholm, or any other place, it may be directly ken, upon running them over, that they come from England. There is but one opinion here, which is, that England cannot continue in its prefent fituation, and that if the meafures which have been taken in Holland, and upon the Weler, are executed, the reign of the infamous men who have (worn eternal war will not be of long dpration.. Their hideous policy will hold them out to the world like men covered with the leprofy, who are thind out of fociety with horror ; for excepting thee Oli warchs, the Englilh people are of the fame opinion ith the red of Europe, that it is necefary there fhould be a maritime law common to all : with the red of Europe, they have the featiments of what-is right, and they reit& the idea of injullite, and of what is arbitrary.

Intell:gence from the Continent, on• the accuracy of which we place the firmeil reliance, induces us to believe that Bomaraars is determined to force Ame rica to take a decided part in the war, either on the flee of Great Britain or France. At one of his levees, a fhort time fince, he declared publicly is General Aatarreuxe that he would not admit of any Nen ' trals in the War ; and he added, " Yon may tell , your employers, that they may join with England, if they pleafe ; but it is toy determination to eztermi. pate thole proud Iflanders from the face of the earth!"_ The latenefs of the hour at which the French papers reachel us yesterday, obliged us to confine• ourextraft to an abridgement of the important arti cle which appeared in the Illonitevr of the r 3th ini. Our analyfis contained all the leading points,.but the article is too interefting for any part of it to be withheld from our Readers. We have do:refute given a full copy in the preceding 'alumni. The ankle in qusttion commences with remarks. on the four lattExpeditions fent out from this country; three of which, namely, thole to Cortautinople, Egypt, and Buenos Ayres, it treats with the coa l tempt with which, from the manner in which they have been concluded, they defer•e to be treated— but on the one to Copenhagen, which h as been in a great meafure fuccefsful, it bellows, of courfe, the mat unqualified abufe, Iligmatifing it as " the mat atrocious expedition of which hiltory can preferve the remembrance :" and then, in the nest clank, it Rate', that the " PRINCB REGEN T' of PORTPGAL LOSES HIS THRONE, Becaufe be would no, feize the Britrjb niertbantlise tt Lid3on ;" an ad, which, if he had committed it, would have been at leaft as dithonourable and unjutt as our feizure of the Danilk fleet. What language, then, !hall we find !Iron enough to charaderise a barbarous irruption into liis dominions, with a view to dethrone him, for not committing this - atrocious breach of faith ? Here the guilt and villainy are ac cumulated—they are laid on two-fold. We, with a view i.e &corky, rein the Navy of Denmark ; a power that had itfelf not been very fcrupulous on fimilar occafirms, as its conduit to Hamburgh, in the year t Sot teftified. The virtuous polfelfor of they Bourbon fceptre dethrones a Prince for preferr ing. untainted hanour, and barbaroully overwhelms a kingdom of people incapable of offending him, on account of the integrity of their Prince : The ad is foul, and the motive more foul Rill ; (o that, even if our attack upon Copenhagen were as unjutt as it is beret reprefeated, we have not to go far in qua of a4afe that weeds it in iniquity, beyond all reach of comparifon. This inmendo, however, of what is to be the future fate of the Paws Relator, affords us catiderable regret. His equitable conduct with refpead to Btitifh property entitles him to our cow, patflon : we with we could have added, that the magnanimity of his mind had given him a claim to our admiration ! What our Knitters may have don. with a view to fecute that fleet, of which it appears the rightful owner it no longer to have the command, we arc not at pretest prepared to fay : but that we have had at leaf as great facilities for withdrawing it as BONAPARTI has had for retaining it, can, we think, admit ' or'no doubt ; and, if the Panics of POILTIMAL is to fall, it were* well that his &drops thould not poffers all the plunder.
