Two corvettes let fdi and engaged in a (ham tight, .which continued for two hours ; the tire was well maintained, and the manceuvres were performed wth yrceillon. Both veffels loft their mans, and i.ad their rigging cut ; at the end of the combat they (bitted their malls and repaired their rigging with admirable fpeed. Alter dinner, a (ham defcent was effehed in the tinall bay of Anjou, by nine gun boats, each car rying isty fuldiers, and the boats of the (nips in the harbour alfo armed; the whole covered by the me of a frigate. The ;dace deftined for the difembarkation was . . defended by troops and three batteries, which opened their fire. The gun-boats, in two divilions, , and the frigate in the cent-re, returned the fire of the batteries, rowing towards the fliore. The corn bat continued nearly an hour on both tides. The fire of the gun-boats ceafed, and was fucceeded by a fire 'of musketry. The troops were then difembarked, rtnd carried the batteries amida repeated (hoists of pi . ..N. la Ripubtipe! The troops which oppofed the landing then tell back into Breit towards night. This Ipeetacle, as agreeable as new for us, had attraaed an immenfe concourfe. The ramparts r glacis de Recouvrancc were covered with faedators. Each retired highly gratified with the beauty of the evolutions, and the precifion with which they were executed.

The enemy fired more than 200 fhot, not one of which touched us, and received the fire of all our gitn-boats,which did them confiderable damage. The brigs found themfelves obliged, though a frigate came to their aflUlance, to make fail and proceed to fea. At half infi five, the enemy were. at the diftance of more than three leagues, and the flotilla continued its coarfe. The aElion lalied three hours.

C;iarerottr, the BritifbMinifier at our Court, has again prefented to the King a very thong memo vial, in wilich he formally demands the eeacuips: lion of the Eleaorate of Hanover by the Proffian troops: M. de HAUGWITZ, the Minifler of State, next day tranfmitted the anfwer• of his Majefty, )(he abfolutely . refutes to accede to this demand. At the fame time M. de DOll/4, the Pruflian Mi. hiller at Hanover, infills that the regency of that country (hall take new meafures for the mainte nance of the Pruffian garrifons. The Hanoverian Minifter, who at first protefted again this demand, Nis at length complied. The Ruffian Ambaffatior jilt ow Court has been reqnefled by Lord CARTS. - TORT to unite with him for the fame objc&, but M. de KEUDNIR has refuted; declaring to the Bri. tint Milliner that he has feceived no inftruelions. for that purpofe." A' letter from Leghorn, dated Anna 5, flys, The fquadron of Admiral WARREN, confining ,leight fhips of war, which appeared a few days ;Igo on this coaft, has quitted It, and proceeded w..ftwards. It is believed that it is gone to block. ode Marfeilles or Toulon. One (hip of the line, however, and two frigates remain cruiting in the Channel of Piombino, to prevent the blockade of pocto.Ferrajo by fea.—The three French frigates which were blockading that place, retired on the approach of the Englith ; two of them arc in this Tort, and the third at Marciana." It is now confirmed that it was the fquadron of W that purfued to the entrance of :. 4 .e port of Leghorn, the French fi igates to Suc. ces and la Bravoure, which with the Ceres were I.l.ockading Porto-Ferrajo: the latter efcaped alfo lam the purfuit of .he Englifh, and took limber the port of Marciana. Three of Admiral Wall. Ofll'E (gumbo's re-appeared on the 3 tft of, fail month before Leghorn ; but it is Paid, that the EUguto Admiral has chaliged his plan, fince he k tined the return of GAlroraura's fquadron to :'uulon. We are informed from Middleburgh, that a part et the Gallo-Batavian divifiun, in the road t. t f ,othing, having !hewn tome difpofition to put to the enemy's cruiscrs immediately made the figitals to the nationary fquadron, and in 4 l • time after they were reirforccd by fume Ili .; and brigs. HAMBURG!, MAIL. ST. PETERSFURGHJULY 31.—The Chief of Bri gade, Citizen Dvitoc, will quit this city on the t sth of Atiguft, to return to France. General DESsot.i.ss, the friend of General Moat.% I", will be appointed French Ambalfador to our Court. VIENNA, AUG. 5. —We learn from an authentic fource, that out Court and that of Berlin ale now on the moil amicable footing,-and that the million of Count SrAmoN, who had been charged to make feveral important communications to the Court of Berlin with relpeci to the indemnification bufinefs, has met with the happied fuccefs. It is now very confidently faid,that the hope of indemnifying the Grand Duke of TUSCANY in Italy, which that Prince has hitherto entertained, bein7 almoll en tirely vanifhed, he will be iudemnific by Salz. burg, Paffau, and Berchtolgaden, inclraJog pro bably the whole of ire right banks of the Inn ; that the Pruilian dominions will be extended in Frau conia or Weaphalia ; that thefe indemnifications, acknowledged and agreed to by both parties, will foon be taken porreffion of ; and that this will af terwards greatly facilitate the negociations of the Diet with refpe& to other points of the 7th article of the treaty of Luneville which remain hill to he adjufted. The agreement liftween the French Go vernment and the Pope, it i is fail, has been con cluded with the concurrenceof Count COREN7rZEL. The DUKE ofMoors a will not yet take poffeffion of the territoriesafligned to him in Gevmany: he has taken up his refidence at Trevifo. On account of she high price of provifions in the Auftrian diftriets of Italy, from 4o to so waggon loads of flour arc conveyed thither every day, from the public ma gazines. The Pore has recalled his Nuncio at our Court, Cardinal RtrFFO, who is to be replaced by the Bithop of Fano, Cardinal SEVEROLLI. Itarissow, Auo. 7.—The more the period ap proaches on which the Imperial Court Decree of the asth of June is to be taken into confederation by the Diet, the more the fentiments of the different Courts on that fobjeEt are manifelted. Meafures are previoufly taking to dire& the courfe of thefe con fultations in fuch a manner, that the final arrange. ment of the indemnification bulincfs may be en trußed to his IMPERIAL MAJESTY, with unlimited powers. This is the inftru&ion which, betides other Miniflers, that of the Elector of MENTZ has received, with the addition, however, that if this propofal fhould not have the majority, or if his IMPERIAL MAJESTY fhould rejeel it, the preference mull be given to the propofal for forming a Cons mittee of twelve members of the Diet. There is no doubt that all the Ecclefiaftical Princes and I States will vote this way, In that, in the Eledoral College, Mentz, Treves, and Cologne, will be una nimous ; and only one of the other four member s, Bavaria, Saxony, Brandenburg, or Brunfwick, will be wanted to form a majority. Of the two former it is pofitively add, that they intend voting with Mentz, but from what was laid by the Mins ller of the Elector of BRANDENBURG at the for mer deliberation on that fubjea, the accent of that Rate is doubted. With reflect to the fentiments of Hanover, nothing has yet tranfpired, nor has the Minifter of the Elector of BRANDENBURG hi therto received his final inftru6tions. Auciusr to.—We have reafon for fuppofing that, in the impending deliberations, a certain Great Power will v:4e that the indemnification bufinefs be fettled by the Diet, in due form, though many of the Members, particularly thole from the Ecclefiallical States, are for furnifhing the EPA RROR with full powers for that purpoll.— With refpea to the monument in honour of the Archduke CHARLES, no Cnnelufum is yet taken, feveral Courts, particularly that of Berlin, having not yet declared thcn:felves. In the hill fitting of the Diet a petition was deli vered by the Miniderof the Elector of Ment z, from the inhabitants of Kehl, praying for relief from the Empire. The petition Lays: " This once flou rilhing village, which contained a Church, Parfo. nage-houfe, School-hotife, and upwards of 4 00 filbtlantially built dwelling-houfes, with about as many (fables and barns, after being pillaged, and entirely, burned down by the French, in the year 1795, as now nothing but a heap of ruins : nearly 2000 people, formerly in affluent circumftances, bereft of their habitations, furniture, corn, and cattle, and driven to defpair, have from that pe riod been unable to rebuild their dwellings, and are obliged to wander about, in the utmoft (late of poverty, with their wives and children, dellitute of the moil necell'ary articles of life, without fhel ter, and without the leaf profpeti of obtaining fupport by their induftry, and to intreat the corn paffion of their fellow creatures, to avoid utter ruin in their niifery." Thefe unfortunate people are in hopes of obtaining the fame relief as the in habitants of Philipfburg. FRANCK COST, AUG. B.—The French Govern ment (hews itfelf particularly obliging to the Elec tor of Mentz. On the 29th ult. a detachment of French Gend' armesdelivered a criminal, who is a fubjett of the Elettor's, to the Commandant of CAM, whom they had brough t from Paris, ac• companied by a letter from th e French Miniller of Police. The nameand crime ofthis prifonerhavenot tranfpired. He was Coon after condutted to Ko niglicin, ender a (hong efcort. The leflivities along the whole of the left banks of the Rhine, on account of their union with France, have been very (plendid. On this occasion the names of all the young men in thofc difiritis were regiflered, and as a levy of recruits is expetted (eon to take place. numbers of them have already emigrated. We learn that the contrails for the Prufflan troops in the Ele&orate of Hanover have been prolonged for two months. General PICH min, who refided near Aug burg, during the laR two months, has suddenly chfappeared. Aticosr i s.—The confiderable magazines at Mentz are fhortly to be fold in that city. The Prince of NASSAU-ORANGE has abolifhed the toll hitherto paid by the Jews, in his dominions ; but the Jewill flibjetts of fuch States, where that toll (hall be continued on Jews from his dominions, (hall Rill be liable to pay it. Seven regiments of cavalry, in the neighbourhood of Frankcnthal, base received ord:rs to march to Befmcon, from whence, it is fuppofeil, they will march farther, to be embarked. The Margravine of ANSPACH is arrived at Strafburgh. DusSELDORF, Avo. B.—We learn from the op. polite banks of the Rhine, that moll of the public filndionarics in the Pruflian provinces, who are natives of the country, being called upon to take the oath of allegiance to the French Republic, an fwered, that, they could not deviate from the oath they had fwoln to their Sovereign, until they re ceived his pet-million. The greater part of the military on the left banks of the Rhine is to be re moved, and will be replaced by a line of veterans. The death of the Eledor of Cologne has excited great fenfation in the Bifhopric of Munger. It is expedcd that a certain great power will take pof feflion of that country. HAMBURGH, Auc. IR.—Letters have been re ceived from Smyrna by an opulent Greek bank ing houfc, at Vienna, Rating, that General MENOU had informed General H trrcHlrisom that he would furrender the fortrefs and harbour of Alexandria to the Anglo-Turkilh forces, if in the courfe of fix week; he received no fuccours from France. Ac cording to the reports of fomc deferters from Ms /rotes divilion, they were in extreme want of wa ter and various necefraries, but particularly me dicines for the tick. MENOU is faid to have re quelled a limited fupply of the articles of which he is moll deftitute, until the expiration of that pe riod. This proporal General HurciriNson rejed ed ; fignifying to the French Commander that he would grant him no longer than ten days to fur render Alexandria, on the fame terms given to the French at Cairo ; but, that afterwards he mutt furrender at difcretion. General HUTCHINSON had, by all accounts, re ceived a reinforcemeit of 7000 men, with which he hoped to terminate the war in Egypt in a few weeks. Should Mtwou refufe to furrender on the terms propofed to him, it is intended to carry Alexandria by ftorm. The elofeft harmony prevails between the Courts of Berlin and Peterfburgh; and the KING of Pays- SIA has lately fent a moll flattering and obliging letter to the Sovereign of RUSSIA, in which this Monarch's political conduCt is highly approved of. Baron Jacoai KLEIST, the Pruflian Ambaffa dor at the Court of St. James's, goes to the Baths of Toplitz, where a political conference is to take place between him, Count Sautxu, the newly ap pointed Auftrian Ambafrador to Peterfbargh, and Monfieur de MAN [OW, who goes as Ruffian Am baffador to Paris, to replace Count KAUSCHEW. The Courts of Peterfburgh, Berlin, and Vienna, it is laid, exert alt their influence to bring about a g,neral peace, in which the intereft of Great Britain i 3 likewife to be confulted. PASW AN OGLOU, fince his tall vklory over the Turks at Widdin, menaces the neighbouring PA- CHAS with an expedition, immediately after the harvelt is got in. His army is greatly increafed by definers, and it is certain that he has force French officers and foldiers with him, who made their eleape horn the Aulirian part of Hungary, where they were detained as prifoners of war. He colleas vaft magazines of provifions, and has lately tent a Firman to the Caimacan of Rladowa, with orders to alembic the richeß Bojars in Wal lachia, and to fignify to them, PASVAN OcLou would for the prefent moderate his firll anger againft them, and offer them a peace of (even years, if they would acknowledge his autho rity; but if they did not, he (wears by the Great Prophet, that he will leave them nothing to fix their eyes upon but flames and ruins. Owing to thefe threats, A great number of rich Bojars are moving with their moll valuable effeas to the Aufirian part of Hungary. BERLIN, Avo. t t.—The Court day at Char- 1 lottenburg, on the Bth inft. was extremely fplen did. On this occaflon the Saxon AmbaiTador, Count Byway, had his audience of leave, being appointed Ambaffador from the Oct:tor of Saxony to the French Republic, and intending to let out for Paris within a few d a y s . M. d e HELBIC was prefented as Cha rge ... d'Affaires from the El e ft or , to his PRUSSIAN MAJISTY. Our Minifter at the Court of St. James's, Baron JACOBI KLEIST, let out ,efterday for Saxony, where he will refide a few weeks, and then go to Toplitz. BERLIN, Avo. ts.—The civil eflablifhmtnt of the Jews, in the Prii(Gan dominions, will undergo a material change in favour of that nation. They will bt admitted to the rights of Citizenfhip, and May learn what trades they pleafe. If any mafter fhould refute to take Jews as apprentices and jour neymen, they will be allowed to eftablifh guilds among thernfelves, in which cafe all Jews will be obliged to have their work done by people of their own nation only. Prince HENRY, his Majefty's uncle, is returned from the Baths in Bohemia, and, after a flay of a few days, his Royal Highnefs will return to Rhinefberg.

The arrival of French troops here is generally expelled, but it is not known whether it is at the requelt of our Government or not. For fume time pall the fpirit of ancient federalifm has re-appeared in different Cantons, and feems deter mined on a complete re-ellabliffiment of its former rights. In the Canton of Switr, an addrefs is in circulation, propofing the queflion, Whether, af ter having re•ellablithed the fovereignty of the Conon,' it would be more advifable to fend depu ties to a General Diet, nr, merely to give notice, that Switz had conitituted itfeif an independent Canton ? The majority in the Canton of Bern kern inclined to re-eftabliffi the Great and Little Council, &c. In the Canton of Leman the prin ciple is (aid to have already been adopted, that, as loon as the people of Leman flail be reprefent ed in a Committee, all conneaion with the provi for), Government (hall ceafe.

The wind raged in filch a manner, on that occ.t. lion, that trees, honks, and whole flocks were car. ried off by it. The three Neapolitan frigat es , which had arrived in the port of Ancona, about two months ago, have now hoilled the tri-coloured flag, and arc manned by Frenchmen. They would perhaps have failed fome time ago, with troops on board, but for the five Englifh !hips that Rill con tinue cruizing off that port.
