The great furs Which it was neccifary to pay from our treafory, both for this cod and fur other public exprvees, which are continually increafing on ac count or th- life of all n ccffaries, have not horn covered by the txtraertline7y saxes v.;:ich have been in the mean time hid on ; and the r-eanires we (till find it neceffary to take for the defence of our country, require Inch extraordinary dif burfcmcnts, th..t t:se caifting taxes, laid on in former times, are infitlseit.nt for that end.

FRiINCE. PRIVATE LETTER, PARIS, NOVEMBER 6. A printed letter has got into circulation here, written by a contratur, of the name of FIGNER, who loudly complains of the embarraffments under which he labours, from the want of punc tuality on the part of Government, and who 4ctcures BONAPARTE himfelf of having broke the promile which be had given him. Every endea vour has been exerted to buy up the copies; but it was thou e ;ht prudent not to inaitute any pro ceeding again(' the author, lea the fervice in which he was employed fhould fail, or any alarm be fpread amen ft the other contradors. A reconciliation has lately been brought about between the FIRST CONSUL and LucIEN, through the intervention of Mr. JOSEPH BONAPARTE. The French Government, it is faid, is much at a lots how to difpofe of the Soon negroes that have been fent home from Guadaloupe and Saint Do mingo. . A letter from Brea of the 27th ult. mentions the arrival, on that day, of la Romaine and la Volontaire frigates, from New England. The for mer has on board a great number of negroes. The Salamandre, armed en fruit, has likewife arrived. They bring intelligence that the epidemic fever has completely ceafed its ravages on the Continent of Ameriia. FROM THE PARIS JOURNALS. VIENNA, Ocr. 23.—Three principal objects at prefent occupy our politics: the &ft is, the journey which the Archduke will very foon take to Paris ; the fecond is, the fate of the Duchy of Parma ; tome fayit will be given to the KING of SARDINIA, for whom England and Ruffla interea themfelves firongly ; but it appears from the public a&s at Ratifbon, that Raffia and France are infeparably united, and that our Court can obtain nothing but by their mutual confent. RATISBON, OCT. 27.—The Deputation of the Empire yeflerday held its loth fitting. The Mi nifler of Bohemia, M. de Scaaatyr, and the Im perial Plenipotentiary, M. de HuGst., communi eat :d two Notes, by which they inform that Al tembly, tha-. the indemnity of the GRAND DUKE has been finally fettled with the French Govern mem, and that this arrangement will be imme diately communicated to it. They hope, in code quence, that the Deputation will no longer com plain of delays in the hufinefs of the indemnities arifing from :hat caufe. The Miniaers of Brandenburgh, Bavaria, Cal. fd, and Wirtemberg, have not .explained them felvec upon the contents of this communication.— Thofe of Mentz, Saxony, and of the Grand Maf ter of the Teutonic Order, have, on the contrary, teftificd to the Sub delegate of Bohemia, their joy at this happy event. The Deputation, in the fame fitting, agreed to the Conclulian, relative to the fu ture maintenance of the Upper Clergy of Germany and its faationaries. M. de HoGin., the Imperial Plenipotentiary, yettet day gave his formal adhefion to the coorityuns of the :1 It, by which the Deputation of the Em pire has adopted the general plan of indemnities of the Bth. We have been informed this day of the negociations which have taken place touching the indemnities of the GRAND DUKE, between the Court of Vienna and the French Government.— The following is a brief (ketch :—The plan for invefling the ARCHDUKE with all the ecclefiaffical poffeflions in Suabia having been reje&ed at Paris, Count COBENTZEL received on the Bth of laft Sep umber, orders to demlnd from the French Go. vet nment the exchange of the right bank of the Inn againft the Auftrian poffcflions in Suabia.— This prupofition having met no better reception, thatAmbafrador was am hot ized to prefent another project, offering to the Grand Duke Prince FER• I DipIAND, betides the country of Salzburg, and the other poffdlions conferred upon him by the. plan of indemnities, a mats of Abbeys and other eccle fiaflical propet ties, which Ihould make his annual revenue amount to 1,800,000 florins.

If Minißers have refolved not to be in a haße to deliver up Malta, which we believe few are now inclined to doubt, it is a fortunate circumftance that no greater delay took place in fending out orders to that effect, as the arrangements previ- oufly intended had, in fad, been nearly carried into effect—two thoufand Neapolitan troops hay ing actually reached Malta, and begun to do duty there. From the fubjoined letters, however, our Readers will obferve, there is reafon to believe, that the Britifh troops which have ferved fo long in Eygpt, probably by this time, form a part of the garrifon of Malta. They were expelled to reach that Maud this very day. gi GIBRALTAR, OCT. IB.—By the MEDUSA fri gate, Captain Got a, which arrived here yefterday from Malta in twenty-one days, we learn, that two thoufand Neapolitan troops had arrived there, who were doing duty on the oppofite fide of the harbour from the Britifh. A Grand Matter had at tail been appointed, who is an Italian Nobleman now in England, and the evacuation of the Wand by our troops will probably be delayed till his arrival. " The tranfports had failed from Malta for Alex andria, to bring away the whole of our troops now in Egypt, and they were expected at Malta by the loth of November. " The MEDUSA fell in with our fquadron which failed hence on the 6th, off Carthagena, all well.—Sir RICHARD Bic'carrot; had received or ders to remain in the Mediterranean with the whole of his fleet, after Malta was evacuated ; a meafure highly politic in the prefent fituation of affairs, as without a naval force fufficient to keep the Toulon fleet in check, the French might eafdy make themfelves again mafters of both Malta and Egypt, the moment we have evacuated them, as we should then have nothing to depend upon but the good faith of BONAPARTE." FROM ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT. OCT. 19.—" An American frigate has been cruiz ing in the Bay thefe three weeks, blocking up one of the corfairs belonging to Tripoli, which is now ready for fea, and which has been lying for tome Lime in the New Mole. 1 •" A confiderable degree of alarm prevails here among(' the Captains of Britifh merchant (hips, going up the Mediterranean, that the DEY of ALGIERS, according to his former threats, will, after the 25th of November, feize all Britith vef fels that have not new Mediterranean palfes, none of which have as yet arrived from England. When Sir kotEzr BARLOW, in the SUPERB, went to Algiers, about four months ago, to de mand fome veffels the Algerines had taken, owing I to their not having proper paffes to diftinguilh be tween a fquare-rigged veffel and a latine, or (loop rigged veffel, the DRY then told him in a violent rage, that if in five months time our Govern• ment did not furnifh different out paffes, to difcriminate between them, he would, at the end of five months, declare war againft Britain ; and the laft accounts from Algiers (tate, that he (till perfifted in his determination of fo doing.— Surely after the example fet us by the French of humbling there barbarians, we shall not fuffer our (elves to be bullied into their terms ! " The only men of war here are the ACTIva, MZDVSA, and Ex TREPRINANT cutter, which fails for England the firft fair wind. " The Garrifon are all extremely healthy, and behave remarkably orderly and quiet on every occafion." FROM THE TRUE BRITON. " There appears but too clearly, a determina tion, on the part of the French Government, that moment of the arrival of the French Ambaffador and before he has had any opportunity of entering into Negotiation uponthe fubjea of the Differences exifting between the two Countries. The Mani kilo which appeared in the Monitor of the 29th of Odober,was but too well adapted to take away all the pacific effea from the arrival of the Am baffador, and to indicate a fpirit, on the part of the French Government, which ill accorded with the million of a Minifter of Peace. Scarcely, how ever, have we had time to confider that Manifefto, which only derived its importance from its official charaaer, than another appears, in the fame Pa per of the 6th inftant, received yefterday, which bears the fame Ramp and imprefs, and which, ' though fomewhat more brief than the former, is equally inimical to the Interells of this Country. Nay, it even goes beyond the former in hoftile fpirit—it charaaerizes this Country as the Hope Faaion of Europe, whole objet it is to make -Swit zerland a new Jerfey, for the purpofe of forming Con. fpiracies, paying Traitor:, fpreading Libels, and pro. telling the Enemies of France. If this is not the lan guage of Hoftility, we know not what is. That there Articles thould be inferted in the Official Paper of the French Government, previous to any Negotiation being entered into in this Country with the Reprefentative of that Government, is an anomaly in the Politics of Europe. What can be their objet ? Is it not to prejudge the queftion of Negotiation ? Is it not at once to declare the fine qua non of France, and that their Ambaffador only comes here to make a peremptory demand, inftead of a negotiable Propofition ? We hope that this is not the cafe, becaufe we fincerely with for the prefervation of Peace ; but it can only be inferred from the repeated Manifeßoes in the Moniteur, that Principles are to be laid down by France, in the firft inftance, which are not here after to be departed from ; and that the Ambaf fador of the French Government only comes to enforce them, inftead of conceding fomething for the fake of Peace. It cannot but be remarked, that the tenor of the fail Article, as well as the former, is to charge this country with a defire to rekindle the flames of war on the Continent, be• caufe the has juftly interfered to Rem the torrent of French Ambition, 2nd to refcue an Indepen dent Country, a brave and free People, from the wanton and unjuftifiable attacks of Tyranny and Oppreffion. In other words, to exclude this coun try from all interference in the affairs of the Con tinent, and to make that a pofitive condition in negotiation. The conclufion of the Article affords another fpecimen of the modern jargon of Paris : ii It is more eafy," fags the Moniteur, "for the waves of the Ocean, to beat down rock.o which have braved their fury for forty ages, than for the Wile faaion of Europe to rekindle the flames of war in the bo fom o f the Will, and above all to make the Star of the Fresch people for an inflant turn pak." " This pafage is particularly marked, as if it was intended to aura& fuperior attention. It is eafy to difcover that every attempt of England to refill the power or the ambitious defigns of Fiance, is here meant to be charafterifed as the endeavour of a Hoftile Faaion to excite a new War upon the Continent, or according to the fathionable lan guage of Paris, in the bofom of the Wg?. A nego tiation with France muff then, it is evident, be commenced under circumftances peculiarly deli cate, difficult, and embarraffing. That his Ma jelly's Minifters will do every thing confiftent with the honour and interefts of their country, that they will preferve peace if it is to be maintained, without compromifing that honour and thole in terefts, but that they will alfo meet the exaggerat ed pretenfions of France with firmnefs—that they will not yield to the principles and line of conduft attempted to be impofed on this country by the Moniteur, there is no doubt. The principles afferted by the French Government in fo unprecedented a manner, mull be met by a firm oppofition on the part of this country, or elfe they mull deftroy in their effea, our greatnefs and our fuperiority.— This new Manifefto makes an oftentatious difplay of the number of Powers whom France now reckons amongft the number of her Allies, and as it fhould teem for the purpofe of intimidating the Britith Government. His Majefty's Minifters are, how ever, we are convinced, not to be overawed by the menaces of France, and Banding firm upon the interefts and honour of their Country, they will doubtlefs treat fuch. menaces as they deferve; and whilft they may concede points uneffential to our happinefs or our welfare, will maintain inviolate the grand bulwark of their Country's intereft, and the vital principles of her profperity. We fincerely hope that Peace may yet be prefcrved, we depre cate a renewal of the horrors of War, but if it becomes a queftion whether this Country (hall yield to the dilates of France, or draw the fword in de fence of her deareß interefts, is there a Briton who will hefitate in his choice? The continuance of Peace is indeed clearable,' but to preferve inviolate CORN MARKET. MARK-LANE, NOVEMBER 10. We have this day but very few purchafers, and the articles, in confequence, are fcarcely laic. able at the Currency mentioned in this Paper of Monday 'att. We are informed that the Minitier has at the difpofal of Parliament, when it meets, three mil lions of money, which is Laved in the difcharge o f ,the Army and Navy out of the grants of laft by means ea in n v s i o d f io r u e s . g a Seflion, and which he p ro p o f es to pay over to the Commiffi oners for difcha rg i ng t h e National Debt, towards its redemption. recourfe Na v y to b A plan is now under confederation f or t h e fpeedy recruitmenters,m.iwithout oouft havingthe Ral and expenfive praCtice of impreffing feamen. A new Board of Controul is, it teems, likely to be effablifited as a kind of medium between the Board of Admiralty, and the Navy, ViClualling, and Sick and Hurt Offices. This new Board of Controul, it is laid, is to confia of two Naval Officers, two Gentlemen of acknowledged expe rience in 'public bulinefs, and two Gentlemen of the law. The meafure, it is underftood, has been particularly recommended by Earl Sr. VINCENT. Orders went down on Saturday to Plymouth from the Admiralty and Navy Boards, to dif. charge immediately from the King's Brewery at South Down, 41 coopers, coopers' labourers, bie..vers, and labourers ; thofe whofe fervices and good conduct entitle them to remuneration, Earl Sr. VINCENT will reward with a luperannuation of 101. a year. Additional and arid orders are received as to the vifiting of the men of war in ordinary, which now are fo numerous as to reach from Milbrook Lake to Saltafh. Each Matter of a Divifion is to visit every thip in his divifion daily, and as occafion and weather may offer, twice a day. A Sub-Clerk of the Cheque is alfo to make nocturnal vilits through the whole Ordinary in rotation, and the reports are to be made every morning to Commiffioner FANSIIAWE. As the Government of France has relaxed the feverity of its meafures with refped to the cam penfations to be afligned to the Grand Dire GE Tufcany, the fupplementary plan of indemr,;tts is expected to be carried into full effed by the pe riod originally affixed to its eXecUtiOr.—ihc 111 of next month. It is not yet officially known what the Grand Duke's new compenfations are to con lilt of, but report eltimates them at I,Soc,coo flo rins, to arife from a confolidation of abbeys and various tenures of ecclefiaftical property. The Duchy of Parma, the difpofal of which has de volved on the FIRST CONSUL, is probably one • source of mutual accommodation and reciprocal advantages. Several parties from the Guards yelterday left town upon the recruiting fervice. On Friday morning bills were thick up in Glaf gow,oiferink to recruits a bounty of Five Guineas for the sad regiment of foot, at prefent lying in barracks. This will appear the more (hiking, when it is underflood, that the sad was within the number of regiments which were to have been difbanded as loon as pofEble after the late peace. The Mayor of Berwick being ill, the Court of King's Bench has been applied to for a Madam., fora new Elthion ; upon which it is remarked, that till the prefent time there is no record of a Mayor's illnefs or death, during his Mayoralty, ever fince the grant of the Charter by JAMES I. Mr. DENT, one of the Members for Lancafter, has juft made a prefent of a very fine new organ to the Parith of St. Anne, in that town. Lord and Lady Sirrom, Lady GLENN, Lady 'relator, Lord and Lady CLERMONT, and Dowa ger Lady SEFTON, a, e arrived in town. The nephew of Admiral Psvroli laft week ac cidently Chattered one of hip arms on a hooting party at Wakehurft Park, in Suffer. The limb has been fnce amputated. General ANDREOSSI has already received and returned the vifits of fcveral of the Cabinet nifters. ANDREOSSI'S fuite, including fervants, amounts to about thirty perfons. On 'Midday laff John King removed himfelf by Habeas Corpus from Newgate to the Fleet Prifon. The new Theatrical Candidate who tames for ward on Friday next in the arduous part of Hamlet, is a Mr. Foor. This performer is patmnifed by Mr. SH IRIDAN. Mr. FOOT received his edu:ation at Winchefler School, where he was dittinguithed by his talents and aptitude in Scholailic acquititions. He is a nephew of Mr. Jesse Fool-. It is Paid that the Aft to whom the Public is ob liged for the luppreflion of one of Mr. ANDREW)'S Epilogues, has been complimented with the Ire:• dam of the theatre. A Cockney Baker, who introduced himfelffuc cefsfully at many public places, under the title of Meer of the Rolls, has got into lad bread, having been well rafted by the rough hands of a country Gentleman, who detested and punilhed his ailu rance at Margate.
