w•- of the conditions of the Treaty, anion -which, it is raid, there is an article, Rating, that the Goveihment of Auftria is to pay the Eniperor of the French, forty millions of francs. (Signed) " araxarr.", It is hardly poirble to dodbt the general accuracy olf the above intelligence. It ought, however, to be Bated, that the Batavian State Gazette of the fame date (gm 25th Nov.) makes no mention of it—but that paper is put to prefs on the night previous to its date ; and poffibly the fira accounts may have been received at Am9erdam (not the Hague), and tranfmitted thence to the Texel. We with we could difcredit the reported death of the Archduke CHARLES.—The words tired by Ad miral K*KSLRT on this fubjeft are ezatily the fame employed in the Paris papers of the 17th, and the faft is not repeated in thofe of tivetal days later date.— But, notwithttanding, we fear we would only be de ceiving ourfelves, thould we indulge a hope that he furvives. The general opinion teems rather to be, that it was the receipt of this intelligence which in- duced the Emperor of Germany to adopt, fo a line of conduft diametrically oppotite to the tenor of the declarations in the Court Gazette, only two days before. We (ball not, at prefent, offer any reflation, on thefe difattrous accounts from Germany. The public will now probably dtaw the prOper inferences without our interference.—Have we any human arm to look to for aid ! and (ball we not prepare in car net to defend our parents, our wives, and our off fpr ing ! FRENCH PAPERS To a late date have alto been received. They men tion the failure of feveral Banking-houfes Paris, and among the slumber the Houfe of Recamier is named. One of the papers prelims, on this fubjea g the following paragraph : " Ws arc agired that the Creditors of the houfe of RtCAbittll having had a meeting in confequence of the failure of their Bask, ;lonia to examine into the Rate of Its affairs, expeEted from its immenfc opulence, that they should have found the dowry of Ma dameßeeAxtea let down at revisal millions French. Ti was not, therefore, without Tome astonishment, that they heard it declared that her dowry was only 8o,o:o livres, and that Madame it E. CAMI RI had given it up to the creditors of her hufband ; fueh a eondua calls for no comment ; it gives rife, at the fame time, to many reflections." The !Joules of GRANDIN, CANSANAV, and Co. ; DE. vtee and Co. ; F. Le MORNS and Co. ; AUDREY and Co. ; and various others of equal credit and con fideration, have likewife been obliged to flop pay ment. Thete events have oceationed the greaten alarm and confufiun, and are attributed to the mea• lures adopted by the Emperor, which have drawn away all the fpecie, and deprived the bankers of the means of fulfilling their engagements. We alto find from there papers, that the very terms which are now fuppofed to form the prominent con ditions of the feparate peace concluded between France and Auftria, conftituted the bafis of the treaty brought to the head-quartets of NAPOLEON by the Aultrian General Count GIVLAY. On this pacific propofition of Auftria, the French Journals make the following obfervations M But what kind of Peace could Auttria gaped, when the no l onger poffens what might be offered to difarns the Conqueror ? The Venetian States and the Tyrol had been obits% of negoci ation : indeed one of there countries might, a few weeks fine, base been acczpted as a guarantee ; but as now both arc reduced' by our vidorious arms, the heart of the Außrian Mon.-trchy is laid bare to our mercy. Under loch difaftrous eircumftances, there is no room for negociationa-the win and humanityo dig/Con queror molt be futsmitted to." _ We are lorry to obferve, that tbefe papers confirm the account of the loft of the BITIR and WOPDLAiIIt brigs ; the former ran aground at Sr. Valery on the loth, and the latter at Calais on the t4th or tsth ult. and were obliged to tirike. A LISBON MAIL Arrived this day, and has brought numerous letters refpeaing the late glorious allion off Trafalgar.— Many of the details have however been anticipated by the accounts already publifhed, and we are pre cluded from giving long extra& on a fubjea already generally known, by the great length of the accounts from Germany. We cannot however withhold the following letter from Gibraltar, and the &ft Spanifh account of the aftion: GIBRALTAR. NOVEMBER go. 0 This morning Admiral COLLINGWOOD in the QUEEN, arrived with the following (hips from off Cadiz : Barrsmuis, Lord NaRTHESIt j NEPTUNE, LEvisvnav, and SIitILIS frigate. " The accounts from Cadiz confirm to the fulleff extent the difailrous blow given to the Combined Fleets, in the late glorious vf&ory. Out of the ten Chips which got into Cadiz, only fix can ever be re fitted for tea. The animofity between the French and Spaniard , , fence the condua of the French in the fate battle, exceeds all belief. They were obliged, when prifoners, to put them in different parts of the fhip, to prevent their murdering each other, and a 'irenchman dare hardly land at Cadiz for fear of 'rein murdered." FROM THE MADRID GAZETTE, OF THE FIFTH OF NOVEMBER, aos. 4 , The Chef d'Ercadre Don Arronts DE Escaao, ".` Nor General of the fquadron of the Ocean, has firom the port of Cadiz t is Excellency the Prince of INACto adder date 1 . 1 0 the gsd Oeoter, is fellows : " MOST SICSILL art 550PPtoi t itr LORD, " The fituation of Lieutenant General. Don Fat bERICK Gaavisa, in confequened Of a ball be receiv ed in his left ands at the dofe of the aaion of yefler day, does not permit him to inforti your Excellency of that fanguinary combat; and, although I have had the fortune to fplll my blood for the honour of his Majefly's arms, yet finding myfelflefs inconvenienced than the brave and worthy General in Chitf, on whom his Majely, with a confidence which he merits. bad conferred the command of his fleet, I enter upon the painful, but necefary obligation of informing your Excellency, that our efforts, and the herciic difcharge of our duty, have not been able to avert a lots which would be great, if we were not firmly perfuaded that nothing was left undone, and confequently that our honour was fared. '4 I know this under date of the 18th inflant, the General GRAYIN• had informed your Excellency, that, Admiral VILLINEuva had fignified to him his Mum. tion of putting to fea the next day,and defired toknow if the Spanifh fquadron was ready to accompany him. Your Excellency is not ignorant of what was the anfwer of the General, fatisfied that his fquadron would promptly follow the movements of the French, and that fuch were the repeated orders your Excel lency had communicated to him. With this infor mation the French Admiral returned on board, and fubfequently made the fign for getting lip anchors, fignals which were repeated by this Ihip, the Principe d' Aftar;as, and followed by the moll ready exertions for embarking the artillery and marines, with various others which were on Ihore. On the morning of the icith, tome French and Spanifit [hips got under weigh, in confequence of a fignal made by Admiral Vixt.asauva, but we were not able to effed it all that day, the wind having veered to the S.W. but getting round to E.S.E. they all fucceffively got out on the morning of the loth. Scarcely bad we cleared the mouth of the har bour, when the wind flirted to S. S. W. fo [lron& and with fuch alarming appearances, that one of the CA fignals made by Admiral Vt Luta& uvs, who had his flag on board the Bucentaur, was to take in two reefs in the main-fail. The fltifting of the wind ne-1 ceffarily occationed a difpertion of the fleet till to wards the evening, when the wind again Sifted, and the horizon clearing, fignal was made to form in five columns and to unite :—An advanced frigate made fignal for eighteen fail of the enemy in fight ; and in coafequence of this information, the thipswerecleared, and every thing got ready for aftion. At three we tacked and flood on for the Straights, preferring the fame formation of five columns as before this move ment. After we had executed it, four of the enemy's frigates appeared, which were chafed by drder. of Admiral VILLENEUVE, and to this Gip he attached l'Aigle, Algefiras, and San Juan, as a fquadron of obfervation, which might reinforce the (hips in chafe, with inftruaions to re unite with the main body of the fleet before night fall. " At half pall (even a French !hip advifed us of l'Aigle having reconnoitered 18 enemy's Chips in line of battle, and foon after we faw at no great diftance feveral lights, which doubtlefs were made from the enemy's frigates,interpofed between the two fleets. At nine the Englifh made fignal by firing cannon, and by the interval between the flafh and the report, they appeared to be diftant about two miles. The French Admiral made fignal that it was neceffary to form in line of battle upon the leeward fhips, which was al tersiards repeated by the Admiral, and in this order, the day break of the 2111 came on with the enemy in fight, in number 28 (hips, among them a three decker, formed in order of battle. At (even in the morning, the enemy approached in different columns upon our fquadron, with a diredion to the centre and rear ; upon which Admiral Vita.swavva ordered them to tack in fuccctflon, which brought the fqua dron of obfervation, commanded by General Get- TINA, into the fituation of rear guard. General Get• YINA made to his fquadron the fignals proper to ena ble them to perform the various movements which the exigency of the circumftanees required, with obi ' lity.and precifion, and on nearing the enemy, be or dered them to dole their diflances, and complete their order. At eight minutes before twelve an Engin three. decker, with a flag at her main top, penetrated our line in the centre, fupported by the (hips which were in her wake, the heads of the other column of the enemy did the fame ; one of them doubled our rear guard, another entered between l'Aigle and San ll defonfo, and from that moment the anion was con. fined to a furious combat between the whole of the enemy's fquadron and the half of ours, the greater part of the time within piflol mot. I have not the neceffary information to enable me to acquaint your Excellency with the particulars of thefe anions, nei• ther can I at prefent fay any thing of the move. ments of the van guard which I am alTured, from the commencement, fupported that part of the fqua dron which was attacked ; what I can affirm to your Excellency is, that all the (hips both French and Spanifh, which were within my obfervation, molt Cully performed their duty, and that this (tip, after A horrible combat of four hours with three or four of the enemy, with all her fails and rigging cut, without (lays, without the power of making fail, ber malls and top•mafts pierced through with balls, aced in a . moft diftrefed canditiOn; Wit! okiarsinely iffilted by the Spanilh flip San. Julio; and the French fliip Nejniine, .which occa fi oned..tiie removal of the enempj frenrsui v and equally alfilied the junction of the kayo, Montanes, Afis and San Leandro, which were fu much dastsaied, with tome utherFrench !hips which had no better fate. 4 4 As foon as this (hip was free from opponents, orders were given to thofe united to fawn fuck (tips in aaion as required fupport ; and at night-fall the firing having ceafed on all fides, the frigate la Thamife towed us towards the Bay of Cadiz, into which it was not poillble to enter that night, the wind having got to the S. S. E. Ikon, with (hoovers of rain, which obliged us to anchor at one mile and a half from Rota, with the above•tnentioned !hips; and having confitlerably frefbened, our main and mizen-malls were carried away, notwithftanding the cautions taken for their fecurlty. It alto difnsaßed the Leandro, which had anchored dote by as. 4, I cannot do lefs than perform a duty, which to me is very pleating in your Excellency's view ; the generous emulation with which the Officers and crew of this flip firove to perform their refpeEtive duties, and I am highly grateful in paying this tribute to dance who, by their gallant conduit in aftion hive fo greatly accredited thetnfelves. We have had at killed, among them Lieutenant de Vaiffean Don L. P. del Cast:as, and to 7 badly wounded, in which number is included the Lieutenant of Volunteers, Don B. Co&aaL, and Brigadier of Maiines Don A. Rua. I have learnt that Capt. Don F. d'ALCKDO, of the Montanes, was killed in the aaion, and his fe cond Captain, Don A. CASTANOS ) badly wounded; many lotfes of other excellent Officers have doubtlefs been futlained throughout the fleet, force feveral (hips were entirely difmaßed, and this cataarophe is generally accompanied with misfortunes which are inevitable; when I am acquainted with them, I will communicate them to your Excellency." We flop the prefi to Irate, that letters have been received from Rotterdam of the 27th, Amflerdarn of the :6th, and near the Hague of the 28th, whidt do not mention a word of any fermate peace hav ing been figned, or of the Archduke's death. To the above we are happy to add, that Monitnors of the sad, 23d, and 24th ult. ; fmaUer French Jour nals of the fame dates; the Batavian State Gazette of the 27th, and other Dutch Papers of two days later dates, a'.l received in town this after noon—DO NOT CONTAIN ONF SYLLABI., 1113/PiETIIIO RITHIR A PLACE IRTIVERX FRANCA AND AVSTRIA, OR TNt DEATH OF THE ARCHDURS CHARLIE.

Lord Cot.t.twcwoon was left at Gibraltar with a part of the fleet, which was not in need of repairs, after leaving a fufficient force to blockade Cadiz, under Admiral Loots. When the Tawsaate■ paffed the Straights on the 19th, fite found Sir Jams Duczwoarm had arrived from England four days before, with two fail of the line, and had affumed the command of the blockad• ing fquadron, which was in expeaation of being (non after joined by the five fail of the line which failed from Portfmouth after the news of the aaion was re ceived.
