FRAfiCR. PARIS, SEPTEMBER ss. Before joilltDAN refigned his place to MASS rw e, a ferious quarrel took place bet xeen thefe two Field. Marthals, who were only prevented from fighting by the Viceroy, BEAUHARNOIS, ordering the former under arreß, and afterwards to return to France.— The latter, who is the fame againil whom the French army at Rome revolted in 1798, is not liked by the troops, both on account of his feverity and known immorality, bein& confidered the tooft mercilefs plunderer of all trench Generals, and regardlefs the lives of his men, like BJNAFARTII himfelf. He u fuppofed a better partizan than General; -brave, and able to of with divifinns on the defenfive in mountainous countries and in defiles, but without talents to head fuch a great army as he at prefent c mmands. Befides Count COBENTZEL ' it has been reported for tome days, that two otherforeigntiers have made preparations indicating a departure. 'FAL -I.ETRAND Allred, however, at a dinner he gave the day before yetlerday, to the Members of the Diplo matic Corps. "that this will be a war of tome months only, becaufe, after every vietory, BINAPARTI was - • determined to place the olive branch by the fide of bislatirel4 and 4voe to them who continued hottile." A great coldnefs has taken place between our Ca binet and that of Madrid; the latter having refpfed as being unable, to advance the pecuniary iliccours demanded by General BoURNONVILL A, our Ansbaita dor in Spain. The reciprocal accufations of Admi rals 'VILLENEUVE and GRAVINA. each fupported by his Sovereign, have not diminithed the reciprocal dif content of the two Cabinets. The pecuniary difficulties are always great.. A loan which BoNAPARTI ordered SCHONNILPSNINCX to negociate in Holland, did not fucceed, and the Elec tor of He& refuted to open bis coffers, though offered a very high buffed. The imperial city of Franckfort, it is thought, will be °Wised to lend tome millions ; but its means are relatively trifling. A rumour has been prevalent, that the Bank of France hase again advanced thiity-fix millions of liner, 1,300,0001. which occafioned laft Saturday tome run. The Po. lice, however, Ilion interfered, arretted Come of the muff didrudful or mutinous creditors, and every thipg goes now on in its ufual train ; our funds are even better ; fo powerful an engine is terror in this country. BONAPARTE depofited the day before yederday his will in the Senate. Report dates it to be dated lad February, and figned by the Pope as a witnefs.- 1032 P H BONAPARTS is laid to have been appointed, in cafe of NAPOLEON'S death, a Regent during the minority of the young Narritsox, the fon of Louis BONAPARTE and Mademoifelle DE BEAUHARNOIS s nominated his fucceffor in France. Such is the gene ral report, but it is impoffible to know for certainty, the contents of an ael dill a fecret even to the Senate. Defertion has been very great among the troops marching towards the Rhine, particularly among the Batavians who have deferted by fcores. Our conferipts conceal thernfelves every where, and in tome departments have armed and refitted. Some corps defined for the frontiers have therefore been ordered to the interior, to fubdue the unavailing.re (titmice of the young men. fmprifonments have, within this fortnight, been very numerous all over France, particularly among the returned emigrants, againft whom it it is raid, that tome new and general meature of feverity will be adopted by Government. Several foreigners, tome of high rank, have alto been cent to the Temple, which was fo crowded, that the police haft night re moved from it to the Cattle of Vincennes 32 prifo seri. Terror is now truly the order of the Jay._ A Congrefs is again fpoken of. Pruflis, it is raid, has propofed one under her armed mediation, to be held at Franckfort, whila BONAPARTI is inclined to path the univerfe at Strafburgh, where, his deputy pan:fraeor TALLBYRAND. will Coon join him. GOTTANBURGH MAIL. HAMSURCH, SEPT. 27.—There is not a tingle Frenchman left at Cuxhaven; an Englifb frigate went in there two days ago, an Officer landed, and finding all clear, immediately, failed back to England with the account. The Englifh have alto pui: in re qution all the Ureter pilot. at Bremen. The Ha noverian territory is nearly, it not entirely evacuated by the Fterich. The whnle of the Pr.uffian army is in motion, and the Generals are appointed ; this, it feems, was oc eafroned by a peremptory drmand made by Roffia for her troops to pars through the Pruilian territory. Since that, however, the Emperor. ALFICARDER ha& fent a polite invitation to the King of Pantora•to meet him, in order to hold a conference at a town in Lithuania, which the latter has accepted. In. the meantime the preparations in Ruffle, /Willie.. and France, continue with unabated vigour and etivity. Outtoc is fill at Berlin, where, by the bye, .it is gfcertained, he was lately within a little of Inficg his fife. He was indent at one of the reviews, tome gunpowder accidentally took fire near the place where he was flationed, and feveral perfons near him were blown to pieces by the explefion. The Auflrian Ambaffador is hill at Paris, and the French one is at Vienna ; but letters from Paris, as well as the papers, mention that war was confidered to be declared. It is a anions circumftance, that the French poft of the aoth, from Paris, which arrived here this evening, has proved a perfeti blank, for it brought nn letters ; we are, therefore, in the dark refpetling recent French news. CONSTANTINOPLE, Auc. z 5 Ruffian Am batriclor has notified to the Porte, that a Ruffian corps of 14,000 men is affembled at Sebaftopol; to be conveyed in eight 'hips of the line, four frigates, a d feveral transports, to the lonian Ifles. Fifty eight gun-boats, having the fame dedination, have I,lcewile been fitted out at Schallopol. The new corps of troops, which, fence laft winter, has been raifed in the Seven Minds, amount to 7,600 men, which are exereifed and organized entirely by Ruffian Officers, but which have hitherto been kept dilini9 from the Ruffian army, and form the land force id' the lonian Republic. This corps is compofed of men of different nations, but confifts, for the moft art, of Albanefe and hl••ntenegrins. • The Ruffian Ambaffadur has reprefented that his Court, in confequence of the peratilfion granted se . , . purchafe corn, meat, and other provifione in mime maritime countries of the Turkilh Empire, for the ufe of the Ruffan troops in the lonian Minds, had made many purchafes of that kind, and that a fquadron of from eighleco to twenty-two fail had been fitted out at Taganrock, on the fea of Afoph, to convey fuch provifions to the Paid troops. CASSEr., oppofite Mtazz, SEPT. 24.—Yerlerday a fquadron of French buffo's, from the Army of Ha nover, entered Mentz; the other troops are Rill be tween Friedberg and Frankfort ; it is not known why they tarry there fo lung. Not a man of them has been in Frankfort, yet ptatters were befpoke for. them there five days ago, and there were French troops in the vicinity of that City. LONDON.

So precipitate was the retreat, that they deilroyed all their cannon, and every thing elk, that could not be carried with them on a rapid match. A number of pilots in the Elbe and Wefer have been engaged by this country, which has given rife to the rumour that the German Legion, amounting to Sono men, are detlined for Hanover. It is cer tain that they march towards the Coall this day in order to embark. The command of them is given to General Dom. _ A few days ago it was the general opinion in Ha nover, that an army of forty-fix thoufand men from this country was deftined for the relief of that Elec torate. There can be no doubt, we believe, that it is the intention of the French to abandon Hanover. Having no longer the command of the Elbe, one of their principal motives for maintaining the occupa tion ceafes ; they can no longer prohibit the intro duaion of Britiih manufaitores or produce into the North of Germany, or deftroy the commercial inter conrfe with Hamburgh, the great medium of !itch circulation. There are private•letters in town from Holland,fiat. ing, that Bossy AUL% milita'ry preparations are very much behind thole of the Allies ;and that no aaiv ity or vigour can be effedual towards the filling up his talks for many weeks to come. It is Paid, ton, that he , feveral of his Generals—that JOURDAN has been deprived of his command in Italy—that Li coussa efFential to his interefts in Switzerland) has been fent to his eftate in Franc& Conn —and that MACDONALD has been recommended to try the Bareges waters for his health. This may be all the mere rumours of his enemies, but it is confidently reported in the emigrant circle here. In the mean time he has joined his army on the Rhine, a Rep which it is not likely he would have taken if he were not fenfible of his ftrength. He haseverything in that quar ter to lofe by a defeat, and very little to obtain by a victory ; but it is there alone that he is ab'e to ftrike, and according to the natural impetuofity of his charac ter, he may think that a feafonable vi&ory would en able him yet to treat. It is laid that he is fuperior to the Alsatians ; and his great objea will be to make [ an attack before they are killed. The idea Rill is, however, that an overture will be made by Fiala, which will be accepted. This opinion was generally entertained yefterday, and (locks felt a (mall rife 'up on it. We do not thick, however, that this opinion yetis on any folid foundation. War is refolved on as the only effeenal means now left for curbing the inordinate and dangerous ambition of France. We yefierday had the fatisfaaion of announcing the fafe arrival of the Fox South.fea whaler, and another of the CaLcurres convoy, at Kinfale. In confirmation of this intelligence we infert the follow. ing letter from the Colleaor at that port, to the Com , miffroners of the Revenue at Dublin : Cullom Hoare, Klnfale, ORober t. My Lords and Gentlemen—l think it my duty to inform you that the Fox, of London, from the South Seas, has juit arrived it: this harbour, the Captain of which, James Gernord, has informed me as follows: - _ That he failed from St. Helena, homeward bound, from the South Seas, on the 3d of Auguft, is company with the Calcutta. of 52 guns, Captain Woodrif, convoy; the Indus Ealt Indianian, the Maria Carding, a Swedills Chios fidp, the Aflican, South Sea. man, of London ; the Schaw, of Milford, and a Priam, prise to the Calcutta; that on Thurfday, the 26th of September, faw a dos teppored to be an Engillb Sect of men of war, one hundred mks W. by S. of Scilly ; on Friday, 27th, at half pail twelve, thiaibt eutta made a fignal the flat in fight was an enemy, cater et three fail of the Hoe, three frigates and a corvette ; at half pall dose the Calcutta brought the licadmoft of the frigates to attire; from that time till nine at night, a running fire continued between the Calcutta and the frigate, 'gifted by one of the line of battle Odps at dine the Calcutta was brought to dere salon by them both, which WWI so miaow, sod thea sbe &log cadad o add Captain • &, eA &nooks the Calcutta was either takes er funk ; the con. 1 trifilfperfed towards night, and Captain Cleasord (impales the, wall fate, as he has fees them st differeattbses Once at a Mance On Saturday evening the ailth, be faw a Swede (one of the en voy) [peak an Englifh frigate to the welt of (Mast ; the frigate, after fpealerg ter, Rood to S.

To the CummiMoners of the Revenue. P. S. The Schaw, of Milford, soother of the room, is juft ar rived, but brings no other news. To the above we have to add, that by our Fal mouth letter of this day it appears, that the whole of the above convoy is cow Cafe. It is Rated in a letter from Cork, dated the 3oth ult. received in town yellerday, that there were thirty fail of the Leeward Bland convoy palling Kinfale, and two frigates went out of Cork harbour to 'OM them with neceffaries. It was further repotted, that two vefrels bound to Dublin were captured. Sir SIDNEY SMITH iS CO fet off immediately to re fume his command on board the An-rat-ors. Strange and improbable as the eircumnance may appear, we know, on good authority, that this enterprifing com mander when lag on the French matt, was ant only in Boulogne harbour, but on Chore 1 He had by tome Means obtained the watch-word of the night ; and, in an open beat, (bimfelf and companions properly ' dirguifed) aaually patted feveral of the Rations, and made a very minute infpeition of the Rate of the place before quitting h. An attempt upon the grand depot at Boulogne, under the direaßion of Sir Sit:MST SMITH, will, it ts Paid, be &only made. The troops to be employed in the enterprise are to mita of the third brigade of Guards, and General Palmas's brigade. Yeßerday Mr. PITT arrived at Dover, where, as Warden of the Cinque Ports, he held a Pilot's Court. Sunday morning the Duke of CUMEIMLAMD'S Sharp-!hooters had their monthly trial of &ill for the G0 ) .41 Medal, which was won by T. Razes , Efq. of the Secretary of State's Office. This is the fecond time that Gentleman has obtained the Prize Medal. The 15th Regiment of Dragoons are to be made Haus ; the men are ordered to allow their beards to grow on the upper lip fin that purpok, by order of the Duke of CUMBERLAND. Mils OwassoN's Novice of St. Dominick is jußly ennlidered as the belt Novel that has appeared within the prefent year. Mr. Comte: late Life of Samuel Foote,, ranks eminently among the molt original and amuang pieces of genuine Biography in the Englifh Language. A meeting of the principal Merchants, Ship Owners, &e. of Liverpool, was held yefterday fe'nnight, for the purpofe of confidering the expediency of fending out a fupply of provifions and water, to meet the Leeward I fland fleet—the crews of which from being detained fo long, there was reafon to fear, might be im (bort allowance. A reprefentation was agreed to be forwarded to the Admiralty, foliciting that lime of his Majefty's (hips might be difpatched to their im mediate relief. A fall-failing veffel was alfo dif patched to Cork the fame afternoon, with a fupply of provifions, with orders to diltribute them to fuch veils as the might fall in with who were in want of fuch affiftance. The whole of the expense, it was agreed, fhould be deftayed by a voluntary fubfcrip tion, which was immediately entered into by thofe prefent. Early this morning were depofited in a vault iriSt. Andrew's. Holborn, the remains of the late Gsoaoi FITE/es, Efq. eldeft fan of Mr. Pyre's ' the hanker ; and Captain GEORG' CLAIM, of the Royal Navy. Refpeeting the melanch , .iy fate of thefe unfortunate and amiable young men,fome further particubxshave now reached us, which may ferve to corn& the too hafty, and erroneous accounts that have appeared: On Ttiefday, O&ober t, Gamma Parses, Efq. Geoans Hoak', Efq. and Captain Gamma CIA' Lir. went on board Mr. HOAROS failing boat; and their intention was to proceed down the River, as far as Gravefend. Off Woolwich, early in the afternoon, the failing boat got aground, when Captain CLAILIts, attended by Mr. Parses, went into a ftnaU boat, with a rope, in order to tow the failing boat afloat. This they accomplithed, and had returned fo near their companions, that Mr. FIT a s,'with too much eager nefs and impatience, flood up, to throw the rope on board On the aft of doing which, he loft his balance, and upfet the boat. • The current was very ftrong, and the failing boat then making much way through the water, refuting to come round, Mr. HOAR, could lend them no affif tance. Mr. PETERS, unable to fivim, was repeatedly fepported by his gallant friend, Captain Cute ; who, with his well known humanity, paid too little attention' to himfelf. After repeated and ineffedual efforts to five Mr. Psr sit s, Captain C 'a Anvil became quite cell:tutted, and he was feen graduilly to link. At that awful momeat a boat put off to their aflhllauce, and faw part of the body of Captain CLARKS Ilill floating; but before they could reach the fpot, he funk, with his friend, to the bottom.— Their bodies, after remaining four hours in the wa ter, were found, and conveyed to the honk Of Mr. perm's, in Park-greet, Grofvenor-fquare. Captain CLARK' w as well known,' and univerfally refpdled in the lervece. In the Egyptian Expedi. lion, he commanded the &RAUL, of 6+ guns, and afterwards was Rationed to putted the -Faelory at Smyrna. During the above Expedition, Captain CLARKE'S hitmanity towards our wounded foldiers gained him the efteem of General Sir Rawl Aare- CROMBIE. At a confiderable expence, and whilft himfelf, and Moll of his Officers were fevirely poled with the fatigue they had endured, Captain CLARKS was the means of lasing the lives of 350 of our wounded foldiers, who 'were brought from the Plains of Egypt, and had been fent away by many of the other Ihips. This gallant Officer gave them op his owtrcabin, and fed and, nulled the maimed with his own' hands. He then went to the Com mander in Chief, Lord gams, and procured Sur geons fufficient to attend - then. The death of filch a Naval Officer will be long and feverelt felt.—On his return to Europe, Captain CLARRI brought home General Le GRANO, ' who commanded in the Well Indies; and the attentinn and•courtefy 'which he ex perienced, he always declared amid be returned, as they were, if he Mould ever take any Eoglilluaeo piMers. • • • NAUTICAL INTELLIGENCE.
