YAOM A PRIVATE CORRESPONDENT. 114,4111110 H, Sift' IS now known that the principal objet of Dusoc's embalty to feterihurgh was, to endeavour to obtain the Er• rsltOit'S confent to an invafion of the Turkifh States, and particularly Greece, for which the army of Italy was to be employed. But the re., fined politics, and the 'vigilance of Lord Sr. Hasa's, has rendered Bowarsats's plans and Desoc's endeavour fruiticfs. The prefent Bu rnout, however too well underftands his true intereas to permit this plan of die French,' which would be more or lefs an attack on his' own empire, to be put In execution, notwithftand ing it was already nearly contented to by his Fa. tiler, Who way weak enough to Men to French flattery. As this idea mutt be given up, the fol. diets from the Army of Italy are upon their fur lough. Raristouus, Savrimant 'French Mi. oilier, Citizen Bag t it, has delivered in to-day the following extra& from his kit difpatches l .0 Paris, September 4.

The death of Captain Pat eta did not take place en Saturday, as erroneoully aflrted. That gal- Int and moil refpeeled OMcer died yellerday. The Welt Sitfiolk Militia marched into Ipfwich barracks on Monday fe'unight ; and on Tuefday and Wcdnefday the Hereford Militia joined them. The 2d Welt'Yorlc Militia, and a detachment of die Lith Dragoons. marched into Colcheßer Barracks. The great military road through the county of Wicklow, fo ably planned and condußed by Capt. T AYLoa , of the Engineers, was lately riffled by the LORD Ltaurairmir, who, fenfible of its Im portance in the detention of civilization, and bring ing delinquents to jußice, ordered too foldiers to be immediately added to the working party. A few days ago a private of the Gainfborongh Yclunteer infantrl was gripped alit clothes, and burned in e ffi gy, in the market place, for having exhibited marks of digloyalty to the cask. by via.

M L A's, Sur. 5.- T .The French befieging troops at Porto Ferrajo hate erected three batteries, one o t which mounts s 8 piece' of heavy artillery.— There have kept up for the laft eight days a very n aive and inceffant fire, and greatly damaged the torn; they have alto funk tome of the enemy's (hips in the harbour. The , defence of the garrifoh is, however, fill very obainate. On the 26th of Angela, four Englifh frig* call anchor a fecond time before Piombino, and l an ded fome troops there, who had an engagement with the French garrifon, confifting principally of Pules. After the Englifh had.collofted a confider able quantity of plunder, they returned to their ;hips. As reverts' Englifh flips of war are cruizing be tween Leghorn and the Wand of Elba, the two French frigates which lie at Leghorn have not been able to fail for Elba ; Admiral GAMTH rau sss is therefore expected from Toulon with four (hips d the line and land forces, to drive the Englifh eruizers away from Leghorn, and hailcm the fur tender of Porte Ferrol°. Srocsoorte, &PT. t i.-. The capture of fome dour flips by the Englifh, has railed a great fen- Cation on our Exchange, becatife it was not ex pelted that we fhould have to fear fueh a cons daft, after the acceffion of our Court to the Pe terfbnrgh Convention. . • PRENCN EMIGRANT' CLERGY. The following is Mr. E a :a :lt ' s f econ d L e tt er to the Prenth Archbilhops and Jii(hops : " MY LORD, " In my Letter of the f 6th Wt. with which t had the honour to trxnfrnit the Brief of the Sovereign Pontiff, which I fent to you by the exprefs order of hisHolinefs Pope Plus VU. as well as to each of your colleagues refilling in this Kingdom, I fond. red your Greatnefs, as well as your Colleagues, to tranfmit me the Anfwm that each individually would think proper to nuke. I have, however, heard it kid, that, in confequenco of the meeting held by your Greatniffes, you intend to 'after collec tively to the paternal invitation of his Holinefs ; I therefore find myfelf fiddly obliged, my Lord, to inform you, and to beg of you to intimate the fame to your Colleagues, that by this meant yob will not felfil the Intention of his Holinefs, who has precifely commanded me to tranfmit his Brief to wich of you, in order that you might, feparately, and after having invoked by your prayers the diftribution df underilanding, make itch an Inkier as you conceive yourfeives in conkience to beinfpired with by the FATRZR of Mercies. " lam palhaded, my Lord, that you and your Colleague s would experience an acute (minion, if, in the anfwer to his Holinefs, you had adopted, even involuntarily, a method little conformable to the &fires of the Holy Father, and which are not entirely congenial to the filial refpea which you have me- Randy manifeited towards the Sovereign Pontiff.

The French Bilhops held their final meeting on Saturday laft. Every one.of them adhered to the opinion which he gave before. The purport of their deliberation was not upon the main ground of the queftion, but upon the form in which the letters containing the determination of each in dividual should be couched. After a long debate it was definitively refolved to conform ftrialy to the method prescribed by the POPS. All there Prelates were yeftenlay to deliver to Mr. ERSKINE their different letters, the contents of which are funpleln the extreme, as any oppofition mull be to no purpofe. To the feventeen Bifhops who compoced the firft meeting is to be added the Bithop of Rhodes, who jut} arrived front Scotland. The Bifhop of Troyes, who was on an eacurfion in Holland, did 'not arrive till Sunday.. His opinion, long known from a publication, Is An favour of their reigning. Thus, amongft nineteen French Bifhops who have taken refuge in London, five are decidedly con formids. There are fix Bifhops in France, all of whom are known to be conformifts—the BiihopP of Mar reifies, of Nifmes, of St. Malo, of Angers, of Senlis, and of Alais. Without th e realm of France, and on the Continent, we may reckon among the conformifts, the Archbifhops of Ruch, Touloufe, Troyes, and Cambia', and the Bifhops of Longres, Lacon, Amiens, and feveral others. Thiis it appears that of the 4 French Bifhops .aliie, there arc eighteen known eonformifts, and it is thought that party will now gain tome far ther acquifitionx lt is highly probable, therefore, that A will, without much farther diffi. culty, be able to eftablifh religious tranquillity in France.
