The fleet andel• the command of Admiral Coati- WA LLI I failed from Torbay on Friday morning. Ditpatehes have been received from Lord Nsr.aoa : on the 19th ult. his fleet was all well. Our Port letters of this day mention the arrival of veil & from Gibraltar, utile!' left that place on the loth ult. and Rate, that the mortality had much in creafed at that time. We hope, however, that the accounts are exaggerated, though we have no doubt that the calamity is as great, at lath, as our own ac counts Rated in our lall. Since our laft New York Papers to the ;ft inftant have come to hand. Captaio Dixon is Rated to have arrived at that port on the 27th September, and to have brought difpatches from Mr. ?HICK/ail, at Madrid, which materially offer the quellion of hoftility between Spain and the United States. It ib farther added, that the .imuican Minifter was to leave that capital in the mimth of A. gull. We nave, howevel, ac counts of a much later date from Madrid, by which we know, that this Isidden departure of that Envoy had not 'at. en place. An attt.le (torn New York contains a fingul4r converfati.n betwen the Spanilir Arnbaffador and the Concluelor of one of the P ladelpisia journAls, which is given under the authority of the affidavit of the latter. Paris Papers to the 28th ult. have alto come to hand. The Manlier,' of the 27th inflant, in a note opon an article in the Englilt Papers, which mentions that g , Sir . frats Caaurvao had returned from Wey mouth, alter having been premed to his MA/ contains Come very revere and illiberal reflation' upon the conduit of that Gentleman, which it would be unbecoming and improper in us to publifit. Dutch Journals to the pa have likewife been re ceived. They contain no intelligence that can be contideted as materially intereding. We learn, how ever, one fad of importance from them, that the late vexatious meafures refpeifing the commercial inter. cootie between Holland and this country, were put in execution by the tole authority of the French,and *idiom the concurrence of the Batavian Govern ment. Although fitonglt urged to it. the Govern ment of that country, even tsilen as it is, had fuffi cient energy to refute its content to an abfolure and peremptory embargo. and could only be brought to itTue orders for a rigorous execution of the prohibi tory laws. If the contents of a private letter from Frankfort, brought by the loft Hamhurgh Mail, be entitled to credit, the Cabinet of Vienna has difcovered a new intrigue of flom•paare, of vital importance to the irtei ell. of the German Empire. It is no lefs than an attempt of tl , c Cirfican, by bribes, threats, and pro. stales, artfully cle:Ilt out among the German Princes, according to their wants, wealencties, and pallictis, to fccurc, at the Diet of Ratifh , ,n, his eleCtion as King of the Itemans, •nd the confluent rank and dignity of Emperor of Germany. The outrage ous arni,ition of the Corfican gives an air of proba bility to every plan of aggranditement imputed to him, however extravagant t yet we do not pl ac e im. plicit eon;id,.nce in this report, bec.ture it would be incordolent with found p'licy,ti difclofe fuch a view, it he really entertains it, untii the conclufion of a peace with England.

SIR Gri)RGE RUMIOLD. A letter from Sir r..; so. Ruscaotn was received by his family On Saturday laa ; but when it leas opened, ftrange to tell, its contents were wholly inexplicable. It was heftily written in fome chymieal preparation, and though every in tans were tried, nothing could be drawn forth but a few unconnected words. We regret this circumfiance the more, as fome anxiety is felt for the fate of his official papers. Some private letters, after laying that the French foldiers were dif gaited as peafasso--that tile Mini fter was hurried away almoll naked—add that he had time to deftroy his papers before there midnight marauders broke into his chamber. It is laid that every paper of conk quence was in a bag near his bed tide, and that there was a fire in his roods. The French felon sie rule plundered his hook, and carried off feveral articles of value. Some time mull elapii before we can have the decifion of Anita on this fubJee. The Manifefto of 1' which we may expel to find in the next lifsaiterr, will, in the mean time, be an objea of no common curiofity- If he can Sew one rule of right, or one fraftion of a principle in the La* of Nations, to jellify this double violation of a neutral territory, and of the Jarred perfon of an Ambafrador, we may admire his dexterity, thcngh we detelt its etre. If he retorts, as we apprehend he will do, to the overbearing plea of aretifity, then every page and ar ticle of the laws, which for centuries have held to- gether the great community of Europe, are complete. ly refcinded and abolilhed. The French troops employed in this work of dark nefs were commanded by General Paige. When Sir Groaoa afked him the mule of his arra, General &ARS anfwered, " that he was fufpctled of being an accomplice of DR/tits, and that it was done by order of the Head of the Police at Paris." It was true, as fated in the papers, that he was to be frit fent to Hanover ; but Sir Guiana himfelf was perfealy is. Coma what was to be his next deification. Rork FAMILr.

By this veffel it appears, that the Amphitrite, a very fine Bpanifh frigate, of 44 guns, failed from the Ha vannall about two months ago, having on board le veral millions of dollars, fo that the may be picked up by fome or other of the Ili:jib crutzers before (he reaches Cadiz.
