NWT , • REPUBLIC OF 7riE SEVt;N-ISLANDS. CORFU, JULY 11. .1 Every thing here is in a flute of abfolute anar chy. The inhabitant's of the country are enraged againtl the Nobles, by whom they find they were deceived, when they engaged them to take up arms againft the French. NVe cannot venture out of the town, for fear of being afraffinated, and our properties ale at the mercy of • the peafants ; but what completes our ntisfortunes is, that the Ruf fians, who ate in posfeftion of the forts, and who keep the Turks in awe, have received orders to pars-into the Black Sea, fo that we (hail remain expofed to the vengeance of the Turks, for the mati:tere which was committed on them in the riot of the 77th May. Our goods cannot leave our ports, becaufe they fall into the power of the French cruizers, in the Adriatic. As to the other illands of our Republic, that of-Cerigo has declared itfelf independent. Zante has hoifted the Englifh flag. Santa Mtiara, menaced with invailon by ALI' PA. CH A, of lanina, who already colleas his forces on its confines, is about to become a theatre of hor rors. Cephalonia, divided between two factions, which are deftroying each other, is given up to all the e oils of a civil war.—Malfacre, rape, burning, and plunder ; all arc the order of the day.— The women are not fecure, nor even the children; they tear off their ears fa. the gold ornaments that hang to them. So mane cruelties have deter. mined a number of the inhabitants to take refuge here, in the perfaafion that our ramparts would fecure them. I with it with all my heart ; but I dread that our Senate, paralyfed as it is, without means, without public confidence, cannot fucceed in preferving us from the evils with which we are threatened. Such is tht Rate of its diftrels, that in order to procure itfelf a party in the town, it .has propofed to feventy families to admit them to no bility. Thirty-fix only have contented to receive it. Almoll all our merchant shave retired to Triefte and Venice, whither they will be followed by thole who remain. Our commerce is annihilated. I can give you no further details concerning Cerigo and Zante, their communication with us being In. tercepted. There remains to us no other hope than that of the return of the French, whom we know to be at Otranto, and to whom we hold forth our hands in fupplication. P. S. The little ifland of La Pais, which was covered with gardens, olive trees, and houfes, is now quite a delart. FRANCE. PARIS, SEPTEMBER 7. • We learn from Luxemburg, that it is in con templation to chute a tit place on the Mofelle, be tween Treves and Coblentz, for the purpote of building a fortrefs. It is alfo Paid, that the little town of Creutznach, on the Nahe, js to be for- titled. We hear that the crops throughout the depart ments of Belgium are the richelt that have been witneal:d for feveral years. On the 31ft ult.

A Tunifian fquadron, confining of four large zebecks and a galliot, was feen on the gth of laft month of Cape d'Anzo. The Council General of Ille and Vilaine have tranfmitted to the Minifier of the Interior a plan of a canal, which would unite the Vilaioe with the Rance, by the Ilk and the Linou. This pro jeft, which would ellabiith a communication be tween the Channel and the Ocean, through Dinan, Rennes, and Rhedon, would con the State no more than 60zi,000 livres. It received the afrent of the old Government. AAAAA CT OF A LETTER. FROM STOCKHOLM, DATED AUGUST 18. _ " Since the famous Convention of the 17th of June, which our Court did not know until after its conclufion, and to which it had been forced to accede, a great change has been effeCled here in the political fyftcm, and in the public opinion. Before this event, every thing was arranged pre paratory to M. de Fe aRE ti being placed at the head of Mininerial Affairs ; but the KING has fince relblved to have M. Eti R I KsWitao there. The na tion is rejoiced to fee in that important place this able Milliner, who never was influenced but by the real interetts of the State. Another etre& of this famous Convention is, to remind the Swedes that they once had allies who never treated fur Clam and without them. Since this zra they fpeak of the FIR 3T CONSUL not only with efleem, but even enthuliafin. It is certain that circurn (lances are very favourable to the Treaties Which have fo long imited the two Powers. The Mi nu:ter whom our Court has fent to Paris is a very fit perfon to remove all the difficulties. To the rectitude of chara‘ler, which inipires confidence, he joins rare talents. There talents kern heredi tary in the family of EHRRNSW MU). It is to his Uncle we owe the ereetion of the famous fortrefs of Sneal>org, iti Finland, the works of which alto nab all travellers, and the eltablithment of a light Proilla for the defence of (air coans.

He has liimfelf rcprcfcntcd, with mtieh dig uiry, our lvionaltit, at the Courts of Madrid and .1...•a10n, and we do not forget the energetic notes wlnih he delivered at the latter, renionfltating againa the ;,&s of violence and injunice of Great britain with relpen to Sweden.

Various conjeCtures are formed relpating this movement. Some are apprehen five for the fafety of Spain! but for this there Icons little reafon at prefent : others, and thofege nerally the bell informed, likewife, ftrange as it may appear to many, that Gibraltar is the objeCt, BONAPARTE having declared it to be his opinion, that that fortrefs, notwithaanding the flrength of the works, may be taken by ftorm, by facrificing 25 or 30,0c0 men. Has he forgot that it is de fended by as good foldiers as thole he met with at Acre ? In the naval department at Cadiz there is alfo great alivity, and every veffel fit for fervice is equipping with the utmoft difpatch. A little time will thew whether there prepara tions have any thing real for their objea, fo far as relates to Gibraltar, or whether they be not intended merely to alarm, and by inducing us to divide our force to weaken ourfelves nearer home. In either cafe, however, the enemy, it h to be hoped, will find us prepared for them. I sacs teeing this is the cafe, how we ca* prevent • their accomplifhing a voyage of five hours? The an fwer is obvious however : The wind which drives our velfcls off from their harbours, drives them home to our own coatis. A letter from Ihuffels, dated the 2d intl.

Citizen LUGAN, Captain of the Heliopolis, left Egypt on the 14th of July, on board a fmall veffel called la Santa Madona•Didra, manned with twenty good French failors. It efcaped the cruiz ers, touched at Cephalonia, and landed at Taren to. C. LOGAN delivered to General Sotmr dif patches from General MENOU, which were brought to Paris by a courier extraordinary. •The news of the capitulation of Cairo had reached Alexandria. Generals MSNOU, Ran PON, FRIANT,SONGIS, SANSON,DESTAING,ZAJONSCHEK, Fat/ram, &c. and all the other officers, chefs de corps, and fuperior officers of the garrifon of Alex andria, had refolved to bury themfelves under the ruins of the place rather than accede to a capitu- lation, which they confidered as difgraceful, be caufe they did not believe it to be neceffary. Alexandria was defended by more that boo pieces of artillery, was abundantly fupplied with provifions,and particularly a large quantity of rice. The garrifon had bread and bifcuit to laft them through the winter, and rice for feveral years. The foldiers were labouring inceffantly, and with extraordinary atlivity, to augment the forYfica tions : they amounted to more than 9000 French, including the failors and members of the different adminiftrations, who had all taken up arms. Ge neral MTNou bellows great praife on the zeal and aftivity of the Captains of the Villeneuve, Barre, and Richer. The Fort of Pompey's Pillar, by the extraor dinary labour of four months, had acquired the fame ftrength as Fort Cretin. We were matters of the Lake Mareotis by means of forts conitruCt ed in different places, and of gunboats tranfport ed thither from the port of Alexandria. The entrenched camp which General MENOU had made choice of was fecure from any coup de main, and defended the approaches to the place.— The enemy could not approach but by the boyaux of the trenches. The generals of artillery and corps of engineers, confidering the local obflacles and works which have been conflrufled, reafonably think themfelves fide from every attack.—Moniteur.

A great many of the inhabitants fearing a like fats for the reft of the city, quitted it to eltablifh them. (elves elfewhere. BOULOGNE, SEPTEMBER S. The divifion of gun-boats, confifting of fifteen' veffels, which was waiting at Dieppe for a favour. able wind and opportunity to proceed to this port, arrived here left night: only one veffel remained behind which h ruck on . the lands or run aground four leagues from this place, at the mouth of la Canche. It is pofllble that fhe may have met with obflacics which prevented her from getting farther, for a firong Weft wind prevailed, and the lea was exceedingly boifterous. Troops were immediately difpatched, and fome pieces of artillery will he planted to prevent the Englifh from getting parer.' fion of her before fhe is got off. Thus all our divi. vifions of armed veffels fucceffively join the flotilla, and efcape the vigilance of the Englifb cruifers. If there are circumftances of fuch a nature as to ren der it impoflible for the Englifh to prevent a nume rous divifion of veffels from proceeding from Cher• burgh to Boulogne, how will they prevent us from effeCting a paffage of five hours ? And if the Englith Government cannot pre;tent the affembling of our troops, nor annihilate them as they threat• ened at the point of union, nor difpute our pal fage, how will they encore the people againft the panic -terrors of an invafion ! The well wind, which has driven the Englint from our coat, foon increated to filch violent gale, that one of their (hips of war, after veering out all her cable, was obliged to cut it. The Englifh left a buoy to enable them to find the anchor ( their return. General LATOUCHIL, who fide; nothing to efcapc him, perceived this buoy, and immediately fent a boat to cut it. VIENNA, AUGUST 25. —His IMPERIAL MAJRS. Tv has not yet given an anfwer to the note of his Excellency the Amballador of Prutlia, in regard to the nomination to the Ilifhoprics of Cologne and Munacr, but we are allured that the Vice Chan cellor of the Empire, Couht COLLORADO, has declared verbally, to his Excellency, that the EM ►esoß would adhere to the demand of the Cabinet of Berlin. The conduct of this Cabinet is explained on the following grounds: It is agreed, it is Paid, be tween the great powers of the Continent, that the Weßphalian Oates of the Eleelor of CoLoo it E, the Bithoprics of Muniter, Paderborn, Ofnaburgb, Hildelhrim, of the Abbey de Cervey, than pals under the dominion of Priitilla, to be afterwards ceded (Hilsielheim excepted) with the duchy of Iterg, for which the Eledor of BAVARIA will Oh tdin an indemnity to the Duke of }how s w whole Rates, as well as a great part of the Eleeto rate of Hanover, will be incorporated with the FrutGan monarchy. IMIIIMININ ACCOUNTS FROM EGYPT. The EA-India Company have received letters from Mr. BARKER, their Agent at Aleppo, dated the isth July, containing the fubffance of private advices received there from Cyprus, down to the 7th of the fame month. " His Majefly's fhip DIADEM had arrived there from the Coat of Egypt, and flated, that at the time of their departure a firing of cannon was heard in or near Alexandria; that about a dozen of deferters who had fucceeded in quitting Alex andria in a boat, and repaired on board our fleet, Rated the place to be in the greateft diflrefs for want of proviflons. " That about forty leagues to the wellward of Alexandria, his Majeily's (hips off that place gave chace to four French (hips of the line and one fri gate, which efcaped by the favour of the night, and are fuppofed to be part of Admiral GAN-. viivauraz's fquadron, which it is Paid had again failed from Toulon, reinforced by eight (hips of war, taken from the King of NAPLES. " TIME it is fuppofed if Admiral GANTHEAUME could not fuccecd in conveying fuccour to the French in Egypt, that he would probably furprize the lfland of Cyprus, in order to effeet a diverfion of our forces in favour of the enemy on the Conti nent of Africa. " That the French have lately made a fortie, in which they were repulfed, with lofs on both fides. This intelligence is confirmed by private advices received at Aleppo, from the Camp of the GRAND VIZIER. " That his Majefty's frigate IPHICEWIA took fire by accident, while cruifing before Alexandria, and wAs dedroyed, but all the crew were happily favcd." Each are the accounts forwarded by the Agents of the EaR• India Company refpeCting Egypt.-- The following articles will (hew what accounts from the fame ginner have been received at Paris, and onr Readers will form their own opinions.— The Paris papers from which we make the ex traEts, arrived this morning, and come down to the 9th infant inclufive : The Moniteur gives extraCts of accounts from Egypt down to the 14th of July, at which time the French Rill held out at Alexandria, where they arc Rated to be in fuch force as to defy any attempts that may he made upon them. They Rate the place to be alfo well Rocked with pro vifions. By an Official Article in the Naval Journal of Ffrat which contains a detaill of operations from the Gth of March to the Gth of July, it do:s not ap pear that GANTH AUM E had fucceeded in fending any troops into Alexandria, unlefs fuch as might be in the Heliopolis, whofe arrival is no:iced. Not withfianding, however, they Rate their force there at 9000 French, which is a conlislerablc number when we confider the time they have been in Egypt, and the numhers loft in Ow various ;unions and fkirmillies City have had, and thok which have furrendered. ti xtcen gun IN ats from Dieppe have fuccecded in joining thole at C.dais.
