AUGUST 22.--Letters from Germany, received yefterday, confirm what we before Rated relative to the difpofitions of the Court of Vienna. It appears, that it may be regarded as certain, that the peace between France and Aufria will not be dittutbed.— We learn, that Mr. TAYLOR, the Eng!ith Envoy at Heffe Cad, has had fome warm disputes with the Unifiers of the Elefior of Hefle, and that he had quitted Calfel without taking leave. The lafi news received from the Hands of Marti. niquc and Guadaloupe, is of the Loh of July.—Thefe Colonies could not be in a better inflation ; the gar. rifons are numerous and well appointed ; the fortifi- cations and artillery in good order; the inhabitants foil of zeal and ardour ; the magazines well provid ed, and the plantations in a flourifhing Rate. Since 1789, the number of Blacks has been doubled in both Colonies, and they could fill employ 30,000 store. 1 TOi i 1 1 vii go affi i, at o hill 1,1 , rot t .

PLOMBIEt is, AUGUST B.—We have the happinefs to poffefs her Majefly, the Emprefs and Queen. She arrived here on Saturday La, at nine in the even ing, amidlt difcharges of cannon, placed on the two roads. BANNS OF THE MAINE, AIM 17.—We learn from Vienna, that the Emperor of Autiria has refolved to go twice a-week from Lgremburgh to Vienna, to :ISt at the conferences of the Minitlers, the affairs at prefent under contideration being of the highea importance. It is remarked, that M. de la ROCHE roucsuLr has_ had feveral conferences with Cuunt COBENTZEL. HAMBURGH, AUCU9T 10.—According► to letters from the frontiers of Rufria, a confiderable body of Ruffian troops are affembling at Dubnou, where they will form a camp of exercife. Letters from Dantzie of the 3oth of July, Rate, that a corps of Ruffian troops is marching towards the fouthern frontiers of Poland. They labour with the greateft etivity at the for tificationi which his Majeily the King of Prudia is conflruaing at Weirchfelmunde: two or three thou rand workmen are employed daily. NAPLES, JULY 31.—The following are fome frefr letails relative to the earthquake which has defolated this capital, and a great part of the kingdom In the morning of the 26th we experienced a teat much greater than the preceding days. About fix in the evening a North Well wind arofe, bringing with it fome thick clouds, which threatened a gorm, Silt Which infenfibly difperfed. At Alf pall eight :he wind began to blow from the North, which is called at Naples a land wind, and which is cold and dry in winter, and hot in fummer. It was on that day much colder than ulna!, and continued for About an hour. At three quarters pall nine the fea, which had been extremely tranquil during the day, began to be dillurbed. Several perfons who were 'lathing felt the earth fail them under their feet, and the iilh mounted to the furface of the water, and ap peared agitated in an extraordinary manner. At length, at three minutes before ten, a (hock of In earthquake was telt, at firfl with a flight trem ling, and afterwards with a flrong undulation, in a !reetion from North to South, and which lined om 45 to so feconds. At eleven there was ano ther (hock, but weaker ; and at three quarters pall 'welve a third, fill !lighter. The flcy was perfeetly :rene, but on the furface of the earth there was a , ;rt of fog, from which emanated a flrong fmell of ,itlpliur. From the fitmmit of Vefuvius an immenfc and very thick column of fmoke arofe, and between firft and fecond (bock two explofions were heard matr to thofe which precede volcanic eruptions, iut weaker. The firft (hock (hook all the bells, 'hich rang fpontantoufly. Ali the clocks and dials t the city, as well public as private, flopped at .nee minutes before otn, the precife moment of the Shock. We have not yet received any news from Cala. -ia or Sicily. The damage done at Capua is hap iiy leis than was Hated : twenty foldiers perilbed alder the rains of the barracks of Sante Marie ; fe ,etal horfes were alfo killed. In the province of ialet no, and in the three provinces of La Piauille, lie (hock was much fighter ; but in the county of the damage done is very contiderablc. The , wo of Iferno is entirely clef royed. From the or reports of the Governor, who arrived here yef terflay, tt appears that more than one thoufanddead htadies lave been al rea dy d u g out o f t h e ruins, and icatch is cuntinaing. Ifer.to contained about 7000 inhabitants, a Rath tart of %%horn are fuppoted -to have perithed.— ampob Ltaranello, Loppisuro, Pieriabonflaate, tacebia, and come other !mall places in the comkty Melife, ate alfo nearly daroyed. II is fuppofed tat so,occ, perfons have verified in there different ,aces. G. cat damage was alfo done a, Piedimonte Cajazzo, Caterta, Santa Maria. Capua, and , ecar‘amana, but no one was killed. From an obfervAtion of the places where damage was been done, it appears chit the earthquake took a ciireflion from fea to lea, in a line which might be lrawn from the Crater of Vefuvius to that of Poz zu.:,li. It is leafed that great damage ha, been done a; Briano, the ancient capital of the Samnites, which 'is already been f evera l ti mes deftroyed by the fame iiir.forpsne. As to the city of Naples, the regiilers,pf Po lice only hate the number of death s t o be: four— that of wounded is inconfieferable—a circtitnitance which is almoll a miracle in the midi} of fo many ruins and fo much tumult among the inhabitants.-= The queen, the Princeifes, and Prince Leorot.o, af ter the firft fnock, took refuge in the King's dallies, and paired the night in different Carriages The King, who was at Portici, did the fame thing. The Hereditary Prince Royal, and the Ptineefs, were at Calerti, and experienced no accident. More than two hundred houfes have been rendered uninhabitable, and thole the molt folidly built, as if Nature had taken pleafure in triumphing over the efforts of Art. It is obfervable, that the buildings which have fuf fered leaft arc thole which are elevated upon arches. But even in thole_ which have fuffered leaft, there is not a beam which remains in its place, a gate which will flint, or a pillar which retains its lituation. It is, however, a great confolation, that in the midft of fuch great diforder, thanks to the aflonifhing activity of the Police, there were no other evils than thole which arufe from the earthquake. FROM TUE DUTCH PAPERS. ROTTERDAM, AUGUST 28.—A paper is Ruck up at our Exchange, fignifying, that verrels fail every week, fitted up for the accommodation of pairengers, for London. FRANKFORT, AUG. 17—The general attention teems, at the prefent moment, to be fearfully dired ed to the grand qtreition : Shall the Continent conti: nue at Peace or not ? The anfwer to this queflion will depend, in a great meafure, upon the lyflem which the Court of Vienna may purfue. They who. fear that peace will,not be prefcrved, ground their opinion on the continuance of the preparations for war, which are going on with greater activity than ' ever. The camp at Pettau, in Styria, is already / complete, and another i s f orm i ng i n t h e v i c i n i t y o f , CraccAr ; in the Tyrol they are employed very adivi ly in firengthening feveral milit.uy pas, and the Levy of Sharplhooters is organizing again, and pro vided with arms. On the Bth infiant a company of Cannoneers marched for that province, annum: 4 :0M• pany for Venice, and a third for Upper Aulltii; at'' the fame time, orders have been fent to General Count Kt sxA U, to march immediately with his corps to Budweis, in bohemia, there to await further or ders ; this corps is faid to confill of t 3 regiments of infantry and two of cavalry. Finally, the rigorous politicians after[, that the', Emperor has returned a pointed anfwer to a certain demand mace on the part of the French God‘rrs , ' went relative to the Autirian preparations for war in Italy. This latter*afTertion was probably occationed by an article from Vienna, dated July 31, which has appeared in one of the neafpapers of the Empire, in' the following words : 4 , Lately a Note was prefented to our Court by the French Nikiiter. in which he afkcd f r an expla nation concerniniz the preparations for war, and the undhal movements of troops ; alio whet ner Aullria withed for a war with France ? Whether that Court had already formed an alliance with Raliv, or in tended to do it ? &c. e.r.c. To which our Government is afro red to have returned the following alifwer is That the affembling of Inch numbers of French troops in Italy had rendered thole meafures need fary ; that the negotiations which had hitherto talccri place with Ruflia, had for 'heir objea an armed me diation; that Come clofer alliances which might fii!l be formed with other powers, would be nothiag rife Gut the conlequences of the ciicumftances which fhould render them necelfary." " As loon as this Declaratiut was received (conti• nues t h article), the French Minifter, in the name of his Sovereign, gave affurances that the grcattr part of the French troops in Italy should be with. drawn." Thole who cannot believe that the Coutt of Vienna will abandon its pacific fytlem, alien, that the only objat of the Aultrian preparaticms for war is, to en a ble that Government to oppofe any of the Powers at war which would drag it into a war; and they pofitively affirm, that the Coutt of Vienna, far from going to war with France, will flip forward with a declaration of an armed neutrality, which. founckd upon folid ptinciplec, will put an end to all the artifices of the enemies of France. It i: alto thought, that, fo long as the Archduke CHARLES, and the Vice-Chancellor of the Itinpire, Count COBENTZEL, are at the head of affairs, a nip• ture is not In loon to be appreheaded ; although it is believed, that ciicurallances have occurred, which have occafioned more or lefs coolnefs between the two powers ; but it is hoped that this may yet be removed ; at any rate, it is raid, that a perfon of confequence arrived at Vienna on the 7th inaant at a negotiator fent from Paris; and we are informed from the Italian frontier, tl-et the number of troops in Italy, of the two neighbouring powers (France and Aultria) fnall, in future, be always equal, and that there is no reafon to apprehend a war, although the troops on both ricks were brought to that Cyr nem. AUGUST 204—The reports, that the Republic of Raguta has again applied to the Emperor of Ans. TRI•, denting to be incorporated with his States, is revived ; but it is generally believed, that the Em peror will not comply with that requell. The !titers from Vienna of the Bth inflant, agree in the following intelligence : " W;thin the Lift week fie courier: have arrived here from different Courts, and feveral others are difpatched to Pari,, St. Peterfburgh, and London. The difp.itches brought by the former, have occalion ed feveral confultations between the Emperor an 3 his Miniflers, as well as between Count COSENTZ IL and the Ministers of three Courts, M. LA Rocosrou- WILT, Count RASUMOWSKY, together with Prince DoLcoitowsnr, and Sir A. PAGET. The aflivity of our cabinet induces us to believe, that this is a very critical moment, and that bulinefi of the utmoft im portance is tranfaefing, though it is yet thought that peace will be preferved. Count STAHREM a tic, Au titian Envoy at London, who had requelled to be recalled, and whole Lady is already arrived at Vi enna, has received potitive orders to remain at Lon don, where his prefence is inoifpenfable." We are informed that the Eleelor of Hai, at the defire of the French Envoy, has given notice to the Englifh Mater Tenor., that he mit quit his dst minions. LONDON TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER I. PRICE OF STOCKS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK: Confols, for money :8} for ace. 584 , Reduced sSi--rout thi. day. Omniura 3-1--Fich. Bills, par Is. pram We have received Paris Journals to the 23d, and Dutch to the 213th ult. Their contents are not very important. After the (Acid notification yeflerday of the arri val of the Combined fleet at Cadiz, it was confidently reported, as we (Fated in part of our impreflion fail night, that the enemy had failed again on the 2 ift ult. the day after they went in. We do not find, however, that this has been accurately afcertained. They would doubtlefs endeavour to avail themfelves of the firfl opportunity to put to fea with the Spanifh (hips, about five or fix (hips of the line, but it is hoped Sir Rom lIIT CALRIII might arrive off Cadiz iu time to prevent them. It was a fortunate circumftance that theEuRYALUS, which brought home Admiral Cozzinowoon's dif patches, fell in with Sir Robert CALDER'S fleet, as that gallant Admiral might otherwife have remained for fome time ignorant of the courfe the enemy bad followed. The EURYALUS frigate failed from Li(bon on a ' cruise, and direetcd her courfe to the Northward.— She fell in with the IRIS, who gave her the informa tion that (he had been chafed by the advanced fqua dron of the Combined fleet. The EuRY/lt.us then al tered her courfe and made all fail to apprize Admi ral CoLtatiowoon of the enemy's approach. She fell in with the Didon frigate that had been captured by the PHOENIX, which had her in tow. She alfo had been chafed by the time fquadron, and we are glad to think that no apprehention of their capture will now remain. • On the t9th the EuarAtus face the enemy (leering E.S.E. and was chafed by • a fri gate and a line of battle (hip. She found it impoffible to get between the enemy and the (bore. Forta n,,tely the morning of the soth was very fine, fo that At fix o'clock they were perceived by Admiral Got.- xteo woon's fetadron, who thus had the firß notice of their approach. Eleven fail of the enemy then gave chace. Admiral COLLINGWOOD made fignals for the Maas and AcHILLL to reconnoitre them.-- Thefe two (hips hove to under their top-fails, when the enemy immediately left off chace. They were within gun (hot of the Thunder bomb, but did not I fire at her, or (he mufk have been taken. The enemy then went into Cadiz without making any farther effort. On the 224 the EURYALUS left Admiral COL LINCWOOD off the port of Cacli7., and on the 24th the fell in with Sir R. Cae,Dia, as abovernentioned. In two'ays from the time Sir R. CALDER was ftei s l by. the EDI/VALVE, he would join Admiral Cos t. I N owoon ; and anlefs the enemy failed in the inter vening day:, between the ssd and sfith, they would be effetqually blockaded. Admiral CALDER had eigh teen fail of the line and two frigates; Adm. COLLING. WOOD had four fail of the line; Sir R. BICKERTON, with four fail of the line, was lying behind the Rock of Gi braltar. The NIGER had been difpatched to give him information of what had taken place. Admiral CALDER would therefore have under l.is command no lefs than twenty-fix fail of the line, four fs ;gates, and a bomb. The Car thagena fleet according to the lail accounts, was in port. It confills of fix or feven fail cf the line. Sirß.Bicztirrov's fquadron is four not fiz fail of the line, and in the fist inflance he will probably join the fleet off Cadiz. It is flared that the Rochefort fquadron touched at Vigo, looking for the Combined fleets, but finding them gone, went awa . ; We doubt this intelligence. The Rochefort fquadron, we apprehend, is at fea, and never intended to join VILLSNEUVE. If any danger yet remains to our homeward comoys, it is from this fquadron. All fears of M. VILLEN alms are now over; but the alarm for fome days has no; been inconfiderable. The (hip taken on her paffage from the Weft In dies by the GOLIAH, as mentioned in our Plymouth letter yellerday, has tince arrived at that port. She turns nut to be (not le Department de Lunde, as &ft reported but) le Torche, a French corvette. She is a fine (hip, of the fame defcription as the Bacchante, now in our fcrvice. Her crew confilled of zoo men, and She had on board sz 4 the late Blanche's fea men, &r. Le Torche was one of a fquidron, bound Iron Martinique to any port they conid make in France. This was the fquadron which captured the BLANCHE. - At the time le Torche was taken there were three of the enemy's vellels in fight, and had not night come on, the Gotta,' and Itaisonasts would have captured another. La Topaze was one of the (hips that efcaped. The gallant Capt. MIMICS of the BLANCHI and all his Officers are on board that veffel, and were all well, except the Lieutenant of Marines, who was feverely wounded in the aftlon.by a Splinter. Our Readers will recoiled that le Faune, one of the fame French fquadron, was lately captured by the Carat E.t.a. We have thus got pollifflon of two of the velFels that were engaged with the BLANCHE, and we are not without hopes that we may yet hear good accounts of fome more of them, as we have many (hips of ion cruixing at this moment on the enemy's coaft. .• •• DISPATCHES from ADMII24I; CORN ir L, Difpatches were this day received at the Ad% ralty from Admiral CoaxwasLis; and, jult as t y Paper was going to Pref., the Letter, of which t; following is a copy, was tranfmitted to Lki.l Coffee-Houfe : “ ADMIRALTY OFrICE, SEPT. 3, is Information is received from Admiral Cfg ” WALLIS, that on the morning of the 34 - - - th ult;rn , 6, his Majefty's frigate hlsLamrus, with the 1.: 1 , • hoop of war, and a gun brig, cruiz:ng off the Pfr •' marks, were chafed by a French fquadron, r: 7 " filling of ten fail of different defcriptions, " (leered S.
