DE VAISSEAU, COMMANDING THE 7TH DIVISION OF THE FLO TILLA, TO THE PRINCIPAL COMMISSARY AT CHERSOURG• - - " I.a Hogue, Auguft 8. " I embrace the opportunity of a failor go ing to Cherbourg by land to give you an account of the flight affair I have had with an Englifh di v ifion. The enemy came up with me near the bay of Gatteville. I foon obliged them to put out to fca, after having fullained confiderable damage. Our vcfkls did nut receive the fmalleft injury, and we did not loci: a tingle man. The foldiers em barked in the gun-boats, and plied the oar like old tailors. I continued my voyage in fight of the Enghill, and I am now lying at anchor off La Hogue, on account of the wind being unfavoura bk. I !hall weigh to-morrow morning, and if the enemy again appear, they may depend upon be ing properly peppered by our fix and thirty pounders." The day before yeflerday the Court of Appeal reverted the Decree of the Tribunal of Tours with rega d to the perfons accufed of having carried off the Senator CLFMENT de Ris. The Judges at Tours have fhcwn very little courage, and were evidently influenced by the accomplices of the pri loners. How can we sccount for fuch difgraceful intimidation among thole who adminiller the cri minal jultice of the country at Tours, as well as' at Drome and at Marfeilles ? Are not the Judges the fathers, the uncles, the relations of thofe who have fought co glorioufly ? Can they have forgot that, in detpifing the threats of the abandoned, they might have acquired as much honour as their children who braved the dangers of the field. - A foldicr guilty of cowardice is condemned to die.— Let timorous Judges, who want firmnefs to do their duty, refleei for a moment,. and they will be punilhed by their confciences almoft as fevtrely as they deferve. AUGUST 28. The maritime Prefect of the arrondlement of Havre, at the retinal of the commander of the light flotilla, had fent him feven fmall boats to fa cilitate the fervice in the road of Boulogne. When they got oppofite Cucq, thefe boats were attacked by an Engbill corvette, a brig, and feveral pin meet. Not being able to carry guns from their fmall he, and the failors having no means of de fence, they were run afhore. The Englifh pin-, naces had got poffeffon of two of them, when a detachment of fifty men of the 5 t ft, who were on guard, ran up. There brave fellows waded up to their mi idle in the water, and opened fo brill( a fire, that the Englifh were obliged to make off, and to leave all the boats in our polfeffion, except the two which were already out of mufleet fhot. It is fuppofed that the Englifh (hips, which kept at Tome di dance, fired alone 1500 (hots to favour this expedition, and to return the fire of our brave fifty foldiers. The enemy in a tingle pinnace had five men killed. Our men were fo fcattered in the water, that we had neither killed nor wounded. A girl in Belgium, only feventeen years old, 'who was married about ten months ago, has brought forth four boys, all of them flout, healthy and thriving. General MOREAU is expelled at Bruffels. It is laid that a courier arrived yeflerday morn ing rrom Rome, bringing the ratification of the Concordat. We hear from Leghorn that the Deputies of the KING of ETRURIA, and of General in Chief Mu- RAT. have returned from Porto Pei-Tajo, without fucceeding in their million. A reinforcement of 300 men, landed from the Englith frigates, has re• animated the courage of the befieged. The French army colletting on the frontiers near ?llmeida, is Rated at so,ooo men, w:thout int-Wing the numeroua corps which daily arrive in Spain from Fiance.

The Engliih after having burned the depot of pitch and tar, as I told you in my lali, attacked' a divifion of flat•bottomed boats nn their way from St. Va'.ery, to join our flotilla. They took three and blew up four. We are Rill ignorant of the lots in killed and wounded on both fides. Our divifion received no Alliance from land, as the troops quartered in that difirin arrived too late. A divifion of 3o or Ato gun and flat-bottomed boats, which was likewife meant to join us, is hlockcJ up in Calais, by 12 Englifli (hips of dif ferent lizes. Off Boulogne, the enemy have got two (hips of the line, a frigate, two brigs, and three or four cutters. BREST, AUGUST 22. - - Four chaffe marees laden with !alt, having doubled the point De Pennimarck, were chafed about nine o'clock in the morning by an Englilh frigate, which endeavoured to cut off their retreat from Audicrne. The troops of artillery and in fantry were at their poll; already the frigate had difcharged feveral (hots on one of the chafe ma tees, and had confiderably damaged it. It was on the point of furrendering, when the crew were loudly encouraged from the battery of Cremence to continue their voyage, becaufe they would re ceive the neceffary degree of protedion from a battery near at hand. Encouraged by this, the veffel continued its courfe, and arrived in fafety at the place of its deflination. The officer commanding the battery, feeing that the three others were making the fhore at an intermediate point, and that the frigate had man ned three boats to defeat their defign, for want of horfes, caufed the cannoneers to drag along the beach a field piece three quarters of the way. But their flrength failing them, they took up their mul kcts, and conjointly with the infantry, flew to the place where the velfels were aground. But the enemy had previoufly reached the place. and had time, in fpite of a very brifk fire from the battery of Sock, to fet fire to two of the chaffe marees, and to carry off the third. Two officers of the aoth, and a number of fufileers and cannoneer% precipitated themfelves on board thefe veffels. In the face of 150 (hots from the frigate which was at anchor oppofite them, they fucceeded in extin guifhing the fire on board one of them, andbronght her Cafe into the port of Audierne. Too much praife cannot be bellowed on the adivity and zeal of the officers, cannoneers, and fufileers. BESANCON, AUGUST 23. The efficacy of the fortunate difcovery of the vaccine inoculation has been tried in a variety of inflances, and in every cafe the experiments made have been attended with the happieft refult. Our Prefeel, JEAN DEBRY, however, who negleets no opportunity of promoting the fuccefs of any mea fure which he conceives is calculated to promote the happinefs of thofe living under his admiuiftra tion, has lately fubmitted to the experiment on his own perfon, and two of his children have under gone a fimilar operation. They were inoculated on the xoth of latt month, and the Prefeet has not fince been interrupted for a fingle moment in the difcharge of his ordinary duties, and his children have continued to enjoy alltheir accuftomed gaiety. This example, which is worth a thoufand ditTerta- Lions, will find here a numerous body of imitators. FROM THE PARIS PAPERS. CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 24.—Lord Eton', the Englith Minifler, lately had an extraordinary au dience of the GRAND SEGNIoR, in which his Fligh nefs prefented him with a fuperb aigrette, adorned with brilliants, a boric richly capardoned, and fe veral other articles of great value. Great num bers of Frenchmen pals through this city daily, who had been kept prifoners in the cafiles of the Black Sea. They are on their way to their native country, and we are allured that all French citi zens found in the Ottoman dominions at the breaking out of the war, will be immediately fet at liberty. _ BRUSSEL3, Auc. 25.—Workmen are bufily em• ployed in repairing the Canal which conne&s this city with the North Sea. There repairs were fo much wanted, that had they been deferred much longer the canal would loon have ceafed to be na vigable. A large quantity of Englifh goods were lately (cited upon the frontiers of Wellphalia,which they withed to fmuggle into this department. The whole of Upper Germany is filled with goods fold by the Englifh, at a lots of so or 6o per cent. the difficulty of getting quit of them is fo great. HAGUE, AUG. 21.—Some homb-veffels belong ing to the fleet of Admiral GItAVES, the day be fore yefterday, came fo very near the road of Hel voet-Sluys, that it was generally believed they meditated an attack upon the fleet; but the mo ment the Batavian batteries had opened upon them they again put out to fea. _ _ MADRID, JULY 30.—1 t was not till this day that Government publifhed the Treaty of Peace with Portugal. The following are its principal articles. All the ports of Portugal (hall be flint againft the reception of Englifh (hips. Spain (hall give up the fortreffes of Jurnmena, Arronches, Porto Al ligro, Cafteldivido, Barhacena, CampoMaquiore, and Orqucla, with all the artillery and provifions belonging to their (evcral places. Spain (hall re tain the fortreffes and territory of Olivcnza as far as the river Guadiana. Within three months Por tugal (hall r:pay to Spain all the expences of the campaign. The prifoners (ball be mutually re itored. The King of Spain binds himfclf to gau rantee to the Qtjcett of Portugal the integrity of her dominions. The two high contra:ting Powers (hall alfo renew the antietu treaties of defentive al liance, modified according to the prcfent relations of France and Spain. The Firft Contra having refufcd to ratify this treaty, the French army was making preparations to enter Portugal, but the Court of Spain, to five that country, prevailed on the Court of I.ifbon to accede to the demands of France, 7,natanteLing the integrity of the P: togiicle rates according to the treaty. Poi t uric Aruba Ira s, invelcd ssitb full powers, were accordihgly The French army received olden to halt, and the, Prince of Peace is on his return to Madrid. and 1 a i Rejoicings D'ed e e conti nued for three days and nights. The publication dLthillesllu:m2gdi'alAutlituo.nGws.itgthoo.-'-gkrPeepaaltaccfeelwa,emwsnhiPriiwere of this event had been retarded till after the arri val of the rich convoy from Brazil, from the fear that it might fall into the hands of the Englifh.— Two (hips, which had long been expelled, and laden with filver for the Court of Spain, have ar. rived with this fleet. VIENNA, AUG. g.—The Count SURAU is to have an allowance of 6 . 5,000 florins as our Ambalrador at Peterfburgh. He is alfo to receive 80,000 flo rins to defray the expences of travelling and his eftabliffiment, with twenty horfes from the Impe rial ftud, and feveral carriages. He and Count PHILIP de COBENTZEL will fet out for Peterfburgh and Paris immediately after their audience of leave, which is to take place next Wednefday. RATISBON, AUGUST 18.—On the 16th of this month M. de Gosarz, the Pruffian Minifter at the Diet, received a courier from his Court bearing difpatches of the greateft importance. The fame day he invited the Imperial Commillary, the Miniflers of Saxony, Heffe, and feveral other States of the Empire, to his lodgings, and in the evening there was a conference between thefe En voys. M. de GoEs.vz declared that his Court, having received intelligence of the•death of the Elector of Cologne, propofed to prevent the Chapters of Cologne and Munfter from proceeding to the election of a new EleCtor or Bifhop, and to make the Duchy of Weftphalia and the Bifhopric of Munfter increafe the mafs of fectilarizations or indemnities. The Imperial CommilTary replied that he would communicate this propofal to his Court, and demand inftruCtions with regard to the manner he was to proceed upon it. The Envoys of the Hereditary Princes declared unanimoufly, that they agreed to the propofal of the King of Pruffia. Next day Citizen BACHER made a fecund overture to the Envoys of the fecular Princes of the firft order, in which he invites them anew to accelerate the affair of the indemnities. It was under his aufpices that the clifcuflions upon this im portant fubjeit began in the fitting of yefterday.— The !late of the votes already given is not known; we only know that a great number of the Envoys, and particularly thofe of the Eccleflaftical States, have received inftruCtions to demand that this af fair may be entirely confided to the Emperor, upp. on condition of fubmitting the plan he (hall fix upon to the ratification of the Diet. It is believed that there will be a majority in favour of this pro pofition. BAYREUTH, AUGUST 16.011 the tath of this month our Regency received new orders from Ber lin, relative to the French emigrants detained in this place. They immediately affembled to take the difpatches into confederation, and in the even ing of the fame day to notify to them the new com mands of the KING. Agreeably to thefe orders they are to be permitted to fee their relations in prifon, to be allowed the ufe of pen, ink, and paper, and even to write letters, but on condition that none of them (hall be concealed, and that a copy (hall be depofited in the hands of the Re gency. It is even rumoured that an examination of each of thefe prifoners feparately (hall take place, and that a fpecial commiffioner for this purpofe may be fpeedily expected. BASLE, AUGUST zs.—We are affured that there will be propofed to the Helvetic Diet, which is to afiemble at Berne on the 7th of next September, a plan for changing feveral articles of the projeCt of the Conflitution, and, among others, that by which the city of Berne is declared to be the capi• tal of the Helvetic Republic. It is ferioufly agi tated to remove the feat of the Central Govern ment of Switzerland to Lucerne, or to Araw.— The Proteflation of the minority of the Canton of Soleure againft the decifions of the majority h.ts been favourably received by the Legiflative Coun cil. It has been proved that there is in the num ber of this majority a Monlieur de TE vrita, who was an officer in the emigrant regiment of Rove rea ; a perfon named Sc m Eta KE. who has Al) ferved in a revolutionary legion, and Gay FR, who was condemned to eight years of imprifOnment, and who owed his liberty only to an AEI of Indemnity. ARREGI R, whom this majority has choien Mem ber of the Helvetic Diet, is one of the molt dan gerous of men, and one of the leaders of that fac tion which is dittinguilhed by counter-revolutionary principles, and debated by fanaticilm. The Le giflative Council has fent the proteflation above mentioned to the Government, with an offer to fubftantiate the trut:i of the fafts Rated, and to de cide on this affair accordir.g to the laws of the Republic. BERNE, Auc. ao.—Helvetia is fill on the eve of being involved in the molt ruinous and molt violent commotions. The Diet of the canton of Schwitz having refilled to take the propofed oath, has been called to order by C. MULLER, Comniif (loner of the Executive Directory, and then diffolv . ed. This canton, as we are allured, willies to form an important federation with the other fmall can tons and with the great cantons on the EaR : the objeEt of which would be contrary to the unity of the republic. At Soleure, the Diet is divided; the minn:ity confifting of fix Members have declared,that they cannot fit with four EleCtors, whom they name, one of whom is accufed of having been condemned to ten years confinement in irons, for political crimes ; another had (hewn himfelf one of the firft partifins of the ancient order of things, and the other two were emigrants who had home arms againft their country. flie Members of the raajority of the Diet of Solcore have given a verbal aufwer to thefe char ges, Rating that they laboured only for the eter nal and temporal happinefs of the people and for the glory of Gun. Ye flerday and the day before, a great many (Inds' were fought between the French and liclvetian ditdie.s. The former asap pears have differed much more than the latter.— In thofe differeil croriliatc fis men have been lot. led, and tweet:-tiiiir Av. , tinded. IVhen all the dit plies were temittated, the combatants Wel c re conciled, and want to chink together like boneft I kilos% s. Aocore t6.—We learn from Vienna, that Field Martha LASCY, the °Melt of the Int: perial Generals, died lately at Baden, to which he had repaired on account of his health. The Vienna Court Gazette has announced officially, that Lady CRAVEN, the Spoufe of his Hi ghncfs, the Margrave of ANSPAC 11, has been railed to the Dignity of a Princefs of the 7.mpire. PETERSBURG H.

Dcb. 90. Laft night we received the Paris Journals to the 29th ult. inclufive. They came in a Flag of Truce with Difpatches for Government, from Mr. MERRY, at Paris. The Official Journal gives a report of feveral trifling alions that have taken place between our cruizers and their boa t s, clofe under their own fhores, at La Hogue, Breit, 'Havre, &c. They are of no importance whatever, but to thew that they are every where kept on the alert. The columns of the Mortiteur are chiefly occu. pied with the Protocole of the Eleftoral College of the general Diet of the Empire at Ratifbon, on the acceptation of the Treaty of Peace of Luneville, concluded by the EMPEROR of GERMANY without the previous affent of the Eleftors, Princes, and States of the Empire. The votes of each State upon the queftion are given feriatim ; and, as our Readers know, the abfolute majority pronounced for the immediate acceptance and approbation of the Treaty; fame of the States (the partizans of the Houfe of Brandenburg only) protefling againft the precedent of any Treaty's being made with• out the formal and previous confent of the College. The brave garrifon of Porto Ferrajo, under the direftion of our gallant countryman, Mr. GIANT, hold! out, and has formally refufed to recognife the new KING of Erauata. The Tiers Confortilis were on the 27th at 48. — The 28th being a decadi, we are in poffeffion of no later price. Monday morning, after breakfaft, the KING, Prince Anot.rnus, General GARTH, Colonels CARTWRIGHT, FITZROY, and MANNINCHAM, took an excurfion on horfeback over the hills of Bin combe, Pref . lon, &c. We underßand his MAJESTY has declined pay. ing his intended vifit to Bath this year. This in formation was received through the medium of a letter, written from St. James's, to a very refpeft able Gentleman much interefied in the public amufements of that city, who has been requefled to notify to Lady DONWFLLY and Mr. WHALLEr, that his May t STY will not have occafion for their houfes, which were engaged for the reception of the ROYAL FAMILY. Yefterday morning MONSIEVR and the Duke de BOOR sox left town to pals a few days with the Earl of LiV ER root, at Addircombe, whither they are gone on a (hooting party. The Dukes of ORLEANS and CHARTRES arrived at the King's Arms Inn, at Ayr, on Wednefday laft ; where they were met by Colonel FULLER- Tow, who conduaed them to his feat of Fullerton. They intend (pending fume time in that part of Scotland. The Earl of Assist's is gone to Ellon the feat of his late father. The Duke of HAMILTON, with a large party of fporting friends, lately paid a vifit to the Hand of Ai ran ; but found there very little game, in confe (pence of the enormous depredations of pradJerr. At the late meeting of the Lord Lieutenant and Deputy Lieutenants of Suffex, on the fubjea of In ration, General Hvaas, to obviate the nereffity of removing the dead flock, had it been judged pra6ticable, propofed the expedient of caufing all the mill Rones to be broken in the neighbourhood of the fpot where the Enemy fhould died a land ing. About fix hundred of the difembodied Supple mentary Militia of Norfolk repaired to Lynn and Thetford on Monday 1011, when thole moil fit for fervicejoined the Detachments from the Eall and Well Regiments, which attended at the above places to receive them. A confiderable number were difcharged, and have returned home. The Loyal Durham regiment of Fencible in fantry, quartered at Naas, have gallantly volun tecrcd their fervices to any part of the world. Lift week the Northumberland ruppletrentary Militia palfzd through Newcafle-upon•Tyne, on their route to join the old Regiment, now lying wt Hull. Captain BR *DIY, late of the ANDROM IDA, who gallantly fought two French frigates off Goa• d•tl ,, tipe, was the fon of Admiral Blau's'. a southamptoit. The Captain was not wounded by the enemy, as (hated in the Paris Journals ; but his great cat mons in the affirm brought on a lever. which deprived his country of his farther fervlcch by terminating his valuable life. tile a fq ih,p fill], tl a eci 45 , cc Iv, ',, ri • , :d (4Fy Y'lki N I , ; i~.. t t:r .
