' !ramie*, de Navrcitareau, as organ of the Spe. cial Committee appointed by the Cenfervative Se- I mate on the 18th of Pluviofe (Feb. 7), to confider of the communications made by the Government, brought up to the Senate the Report of the Paid Committee ; after which the Senate palled a decree, of which the following is an extra& : • " The Confervative Senate, affembled tothe num ber of Members prefcribed by Article 90, of the Aft of the Conflitution bf the Empire, of the date lad Frimaire, of the year 8, after having . heard the Re port of the Special Committee, appointed in its Sit ting of the t sth of this month, on the communica tion tranfmitted to the Senate, in the fame Sitting, by the Minißer for Exterior Relations, in the name of the Emperor, has decreed to entreat his Majefly to accept the refpeßful thanks of the Senate, for the communication he has made by his Minifler. On this communication the Senate confidering, . " That, after having triumphed, in fo many in fiances, over internal factions and foreign enemies, the Emperor has now attained a more illuttrions, and, perhaps, more difficult triumph, by railing him (elf above thofe fentiments With which fo many crimes and hatreds mull naturally infpire his heart ; and by propofing peace. in favour of humanity, by bits 'titter of the I sth of Nivofe, to his Britannic Majefty. has decreed, that a copy of this letter (ball be entered in Its Reeler, as a glorious monument for the Prince that wrote it, and for the nation which he governs : Confidering air() that this propofition, made at the moment when France is in the moll formidable fitua; tion, has received from the enemy only an anfwer which appears intended to evade every projeft of conciliation ; the Senate declares, that the Emperor may rely, in this war, on its utmoft zeal, as well as on the fidelity of the people and the army." They write from Calais, that the Emperor is ex-1 petted very (portly at the camp of Boulogne. Fss. 7.—Five gun boats and two pinnaces, coin ing yefterday from Calais, and going to Boulogne, were attacked by an Englifh frigate, .and ten brigs and corvettes, near Cape Grinez. The engagement lolled an hour and a half ; but about five o'clock, the lively fire of the veffels of the flot illa, the bravery of the infantry embarked on board them, the flying artillery, and that of the batteries on the cook forced the enemy to Rand off to fea, after fuffering a confi derable lots. The divilion of the flotilla entered the port of Boulogne : it had only two men killed, and three wounded. ' FROM THE PARIS PAPERS. Corrratcrison.a. Dsc. am—Marfhal Balm, the French Ambaffador, received tall week the courier he expeaed from Paris, who brought him pofitive orders to leave Confiantinople, if within the (pace of four days after the receipt of his difpatches, the Ottoman Porte ilsould not finally acknowledge the Hereditary Em peror of France. He was at the fame time diraled, to leave at Conllantinople as Charge d'Affaires, not M. Rums, but M. PAILAN DI ER, the Secretary of the French Legation. The Ambaffador immediately communicated to the Turkifh Minifiry this final de cifion ; and as no fatisfaBory anfwer was tranfmitted to him within the time prefcribed, he left Connanti topic on the s 3th of this month, leaving there his Lady and part of his fuite ; he had announced his de parture to the Foreign Minillers the evening before, as alto the nomination of M. PARANDIia. hiarfhal Baum a lay the fill night at a village, about a league diflant fiom Confiantinople. The Porte fent an interpreter after him with a requell, that he would wait four snore days before he continued his journey. The Ambaffador confented to give this new proof 01 Condefcenfion, in the perfuafion that the Porte con (tilting better its true interefts, would at length fend a categorical declaration, and loch as be had required. But this declaration not arriving after this new delay of four days, the Martha' fent for his Lady and all the perfons he had left behind him, and continued his journey. The Porte has given orders to the Officers of the efcort to negleft nothing which may contribute to the fecurity of General Batts; and his fuite, and to provide them all poffible accommodations and con. veniences in their journey through the Ottoman Em pire. The Ruffian troops which have lately arrived from the Black Sea, in number about 900 men, and def tined for Corfu, are lodged in barracks in one of the fuburbs of Conflantinoplc. The (hips in which they arrived fuffered fo much damage, that it will take nearly two months to repair theta. LONDON. WEDNESDAY, I PRICE OF STOCI Beni Stock 1761 t 77 3 per C. Red.

He re futes to allow the Logla, now confined at Verdun, to be confidered prifoners of war ; and the Britifu Government, with a becoming fpirit and attention to national honour, will not content to an exchange of prifoners on any other terms. Difpatches are received at the Admiralty from Ad miral CoauwALLls, which mention that one of the frigates belonging to the fleet had looked into Breit, into which harbour it had afcertained that the fqua dron from Rechefort had not entered.

At Flufhing, two frigates, one lugger, two fchooners, and three brigs. They are all in readinefs to fail ;—but what their deUination can be is doubtful." Yefterday French papers to the loth inft;nt were received, but the latenefi of the hour at which they arrived. obliged us to confine ourfelvei to stilton no tice of their contents.

This declaration has been received as a notice that M. SCHIMMELTENNINCK is either to be hurdled with full authority to rule the Batavian Itepnblic, or to pave the way for a thorough change.

B.—Admiral NaLsou has lately re ceived from England a reinforcement of feveralfhips of the line and frigates. He cruizes about forty miles from Toulon, and obferves the whole line of the Italian, French, and Spanifis coatis, from Palermo by Leghorn, Toulon, and Batcelona,!to the Straights of Gibraltar. The Chips under his orders cruize in every direaion, through this great extent of fee, and detain all French and Sinthilh merchant fhips.— It is laid the French have required of all the Italian Governments, which hare hitherto remained neuter, to declare to which party they will adhere. In cafe, as their true interelt requires, they Quaid fide with 1.. France and Spain. they will be required to Slut their ports againft the Englith. and prohibit the importa tion of any Englifk commodities. It is added, that the Courts of Florence and Rome have already declared according to the wifiles of France ; but that of Naples w;fhes to preferve its neu trality, and with that view has entered into negocia tinny under the mediation of a certain great power. The fituation of the kingdom of Naples is now greatly altered by a declaration of the Emperor Na roc eon, who, it is reported, has faid, that his Ski Tian idajelly !hall remain neutral dating the prefent war between England and Spain, and that he (hall under no pretext be diflurbed in his neutrality, but this under condition, that a certain eminent perfon (ball take no part in the conduß of public affairs. Ltssom, Dic, 21.—Aaive negoclations are carry ing on between our Court and the French and Spa pifh Governments. Endeavours are making on,our part to induce the belligerent powers to fuffer us to remain neutral in a difpute which does not imme diately .concern us. . This, however, is a very difEcult negotiation.. Will France and Spain con tent that the whole trade of Portugal (hall remain in the hands of the Englifh ? Will not England, on the other hand, as loon as our neutrality shall cute, attempt the conqueft of Madeira and Brafil? —Out fituation is very critical, and it will require the whole wifdom of our Government to avoid the difficulties on each fide. We are, however, af lured that the French and Spaniffi Governments are ready to admit of our neutrality, under certain con ditions and limitations. In the mean time Portugal has as yet made no preparation, either by tea or land. The uncertainty of our prefent fituation is in many repels very injurious to our trade. The Gazette of tall night contains the official ac- count of the capture of the French gun boats, &c. as Rated in our paper of yeßerday. Yeßerday the Ruffian Atribaffaclor tranfaited bull nets at Lord Mulgrave's Office from two till four o'clock.
