T FRANCE. 1 PARTS, NOVEMBER a. Rear Admiral La CEOSSE has addreel.d the fol lowing difpateh, dated Boulogne, Oa rbcr 29, to the Minifter of Marine : " Monfeigneur—l have the hrnour to inform you, that yefterday, about ten o'clock at night, `the Eng lifb were kind enough to affctd the flotilla of his Ma lefty a frefh proof of the inefficacy of their efforts againft it. Three cutters coming from the weilward, came down on our line, when they were perceived by the Officer, ARUNDEL, commanding No. 289. Upon being challenged, they anfwered, , Commander'. Guard but not being able to give the couuter•ftgn, Captain ARUNDEL ordered a volley to be fired on them, upon which they immediately pulled off. A little afterwards, a floating fubltance, which rhefe cutters had Pet adrift, blew up with a more trenren •.'. , us explofion than any of thofe machines with which the enemy have occationally amufed us. 6 , The refult of this great exploit was, a good deal of noife, and nothing more. Not a man, not a rope yarn was injured. " Accept, Sir, the affurance of my high refired. (Signed) " LA CROSSE." FROM THE PARIS PAPERS. STRASBLiRDH, OCT. 29.—The laft letters which we have received from Germany mention, that the divifions of Prince MURAT a.rd Marfhal LANNES, after having completed the deftruetion of that part of the Auftrian army which efcaped from Ulm, are now marching by the way of Eichlingen, to Ingol fladt, where they will pafs the Danube, to effea a junflion with the Grand Army. The divifions of BERNADOTTE, DAVOUST, and the Bavarians, were polled between Munich and Wafferburgh, where they only waited the arrival of the Emperor to commence operations againft the Ruffians. They will alto be joined by the Gallo Batavian army, under General MARMONT the divifion of Marthal Nty is to follow. The army under General Sorrel- will, at the fame time, commence operatic/es againft the Tyrol. Many perfuns employed about the Court intend Petting off for Munich, whither, it is fuppoled, the Emprefs will go in a few days. M. TALLEYRAND is arrived at Stutgard. M. MAR ET. and his Secretaries, left this town yetierday for the Imperial head quar ters ; the Deputation of the Tribunate took its de parture for Munich at the fame time. Isltt.ata, Ocr. 27.—Nothing new on the Adige.— Since the French army patted that River, the Aaf• trians have continually declined the battle which has keen frequently offered to them. They are hotly pur. fired. They endeavoured to make a (land in the for. tified pofition at Vicenza, but they were driven from it. Their march is more like a total rout than a re treat. Some detachments of Auftrians, taken at Verona, are going to Turin. The firft divificn will arrive to morrow, the 28th ; they will afterwards be fent for ward to Briancon, and from thence will pafs the Alps at Mount Genevre. FROM THE BATAVIAN STATE GAZETTE, Nov. 6. Btactw, OCT. 29.—The Emperor t.f Ruffia re• turned to this capital from Potfdam laft Sunday, with their Royal Majefties. His Imperial Majefly continues to be received with the moil marked atten tion, and vifits every curiofity in this capital. The Pruffian regiments in Silefia, which were al. ready in part on their march to South Prullia, have fuddenly received counter orders, and are now marching to Lower Saxony and Franconia. The army under Prince HONENLONE, alTembling in the laft mentioned circle, will confift of thirty-five bat talions and fifty-five fquadrons. We are informed, that the regiments already in the Paid difiries, have left the open country of Anfpach, and concentra ted themfelves in a line extending from Bateuth to Egra. BENTHEIM, Ocr. 3:. —The head-quarters of the Pruffian army in Weftphalia will be eftablifhed at Munfter. There are already numbered of them, four regiments of infantry, two battalions of grenadiers, three of fuzileers, and three regiments of cavalry. Two battalions of Wedel had arrived at Lipltadt on the 27th inft. from Bielefield, and proceeded the next day to Soeft. VIENNA, wo days fince the Emperor. accompanied by the Crown Prince, fet off for Pref bourg, to be prefent at the Diet. It is Paid that the French Amhafrador is to depart hence to-day. Troops are continually marching hence to the Inn. Since the commencement of hottilities by the French in Germany, it was their chief object to ob ftrua, with all their might, the junction of the Auf trian and forces, to effeltuate which, with the greater facility, they made a Clutch over the neutral greater facility, they made a flr.tch over the neutral Pruflian territory, by that means gained feveral marches, and joined the Bavarian troops, p the Danube near Neoherg and Donawerth, and :tithed Into a part of the flat country of Bavaria. The Field Martha! I:IFNMAYka having orders to avoid all fe rions engni ; cments, the French focceeded in getting their van to Landfhut and Munich, and, on the :oil of Oanbi_r the Emperor NAPOLEON, accampanied by Prince MUR AT, arrived at Auglborgli. In the mean time, we have not heard that the fmalleft misfortune has befallen our army; and we rather hope that the commun ication, thus impeded for f me da) s, will be restored. Count MBERVALD will take upon him felf the command of the corps of KIES mnv LA, pott ed near Ampting, which has formed a junction with the Ruffian army commanded by General Kurusow, and which now conics of 70,0 w men. toAvcs BURG if, OCTORIIR 25. —The Emperor Miro- LEON departed from hence ytfterday f. r Munchen. This evening he was followed by the head quarters, and a great number of Generals. From the 2la to this morning, have paffed through our city 70,000 men, who art marching for Bavaria from the flier over the Lech. As the corps of Marfhal SouLT has pow for the moft part marched to the Inn, General WOLFSREHL has had an opportunity of advancing again towards Leutkirch, from the environs civet Got Bmre genz and Immen ft ad, where he has reie reinforcements from Tyrol. Aultrian troops had alto arrived in the diftria of Memmingen. General VAN DAMNS had been fkirmithing with the Aultrian General ever fince te 17th, during which, femal on both fides had been killed and wounded. The former had been compelled to a partial retreat; but, on the 2 I It, reinforcements left Ulm for that quarter. I hn 'I lie tiorys of the Ruf f ian army, which palled the M=MIN Inn on the tsith, is the afternoon, cradled of a re giment of !infant and forne Tyrol (harp (hooters.... They paned at New Ottingen, and foraged, in com pany with Tome Auftrian Uhlans, till the evening, aloud A 6 far as Werd and Dingelfingen ; when they came to dofe quarters with our outpofts, and tome of the Uhlans were made prifoners. The next day, we faw Officers in the Ruffian uniform reconnoitring on this fide along the Inn ; and, according to intel- ligence received to.day, a part of them have recroffed the Inn. It is computed that the French army, 96,000 men Prong, will arrive at the Inn on the nth or 28th. According to intelligence from Palau, a courier has already been difpatched to General Ma ER. F6LDT, appointing him Commander in Chief of Ge neral KEINMAYER s corps the latter being gone for Tyrol, to luperfede General WOLFSKEHL. RATISBON. OCT. 26.—Yeftcrday a detachment of French troops arrived at Straubing, and feized the Auftrian piquet there. The Auftrian outpolls extend to Platting ; while the head quarters of Lieutenant General Kirusow,who commands the Ruffian army, are at Brannan. The cullomary route of the poi! with Vienna is now finnewhat interrupted. NUREMBERG, OCT. 23. —The Auftrian corps com manded by the Archshike FERDINAND has retreated through the country of Bayreuth to Egra. He had been obliged to leave tome pieces of cannon in the en virons of the former of theft cities, refpeaing which the Pruffian Magitiracy there decided that they were French property, and therefore, in purfuance of the principles of the neutrality, mutt be tranfported to the arfenal at Verfchheim. thous, Nov. s.—General Balms, Governor of this refidence, is gone to the French army in Ger many. During his abfence, the command in chief is conferred upon Colonel COLLAERT, the Commander in Chief of the Body Guard of the Penfionary, and Major Commandant of the Hague. COEINHAGEN, OCT. 26.—0 f the fourteen Danifh vefels employed to tranfport the Ruffians from Riga to Pomerania, three were entirely wrecked on the 6th and 7th of this month. VENICE, OCT.

By his Majcfty's (hip ETHALION, from Tortola, we learn, that the homeward bound Weft India Convoy were all colleEted there on the 6th inftant, and ready to fail under convoy of his Majefty's (hips l'Ascrcatue,Ctece, and HIPPOMENES, for England. L'AntiCAINE frigate, with the trade from hence, after experiencin: a gale from the N.

Brigadier General Srmotow has alfo fallen a fa crifice to this dreadful malady. He died on board the Severn, WASON, the day before the convoy reach ed Tortola, and was buried there on the 3oth of Auguft, with military honours, Captains Mean' and Faille, attending as chief mourners. We alfo underftand that the mortality which fo long raged in the family of the late Sir WM.

The Swedifh Schooner Bella, from Demerary, re ports, that the Spanith privateers captured off that coaft, on the 14th infiant, (even Colony boats, tome of them with freight for the homeward bound (hips, loading for the next convoy. The brig Fame, from Demerary, which arrived this morning, was near being teken yefterday by a privateer Schooner of 14 guns, which chafed her within fifteen leagues of the land, and had overhaul ed her, and was within gun (hot when the Pert brig hove in fight ; which, after (peaking the Fame, gave chace to the enemy's vette), and was left not more than a league distant from her. The Pert had failed from hence on a corize on Wedneftlay laft. The PRIN CF SS CHARLOTTE and ETHAVON gates, and l'Eccara kimono, remain in Carlifle Bay—the two former have made the tignal for failing. Extract of a letter from Surinam, dated Septem ber 13.—' 6 The colony is at pretent in great agita ticn, from a mutiny among the Colony Corps of Black Yagers, who formed the cordon for protea ing the plantations against the depredations of the Bunt Negroes.

We again infert it for general information ; " ADMIRALTY OFFICE, NOVEMBER t sBos. 44 By a difpatch jug received from Rear Admiral " Sir RICHARD STRACHAN, dated off Falmouth, the 4 6 Bth intl. it appears that the number killed on board bisMajeßy's fhips in the aftion of the 4th inft. was 24, " including a Lieutenant of Marines on board the " Hato, and the Boatfwain of the SANTA MARGA. " RITA. The number of wounded 111. The eta& amount of the Enemy's lots was not afcertained. " Sir RICHARD, in the Casa', propofed imme diately to rejoin Admiral CORNWALLIS, leaving to N the other (hips of his fquadron the care of the 4 4 prizes." The following was alt . () (Rued from the Admiralty : " The names of the Captains who commanded his Majefty's frigates in the late gallant aftion under " Sir RICHARD STRACHAN, being omitted in the • " Gazette Extraordinary, it becomes necetfary to 46 (Late, that the RIVOLUTIONAIRE was commanded " by Captain H. HOTHAM ; the PHOENIX, by Cap " Lain BAKER ; the .lEotus, by Captain Lord Wise. " LIAM FITZROY ; and the SANTA MARGARITA, by " Captain WILSON RATHRONE." The particulars detailed in the above bulletins were brought by Captain Beata of the PHOENIX, IYhOar.', tired at the Admiralty yefterday forenoon. Among the killed is a Lieutenant of Marines, of the lila°. On board the enemy's (hips the lofs wss from five to fix hundred killed and wounded. The French Admiral DUSIANOIR is feverely wounded. The Firit Captain of the Duguay Trouin was killed ; the Second wounded. Sir R. STRACHAN has joined Admiral Coamwm.t.ts, in the CESAR. It is conjeanred that the BILLLONA, which difap peered previous to the aftion, may have gone in par fait of the other two enemy's (hips which bore away before the engagement. We hope (he may be able to give a good account of them if the fhould fall in with them feparately. We have the fatisfaltion to add that Sir RICHARD STRACHAN'S Prizes have fince arrived at Plymouth, as our Readers will fee by the fubjoined letter : " PLYMOUTH, NOV. JO.-- " This morning arrived the French prize (hips Scipion, and Duguay Trouin, of 74 guns each, both completely difmafted ; the former towed in by the Hato, of 74 guns, and the latter by the REvot.u. TIONAIRS, of +4 guns ; they are now going up Ha =laze, being very leaky, and !flitch cut in their hulls: the main mall of the Duguay Trouin fell in board, which occafioned a great lofs of men. The Mont Blanc, of 74 guns, is now towing in by the COURA cut' x, of 74 guns ; and the CICIAR, of 8o guns, has the Formidable, of 8o guns, in tow ; the one is to tally difmalled, and the other has only one malt landing : their hulls are very much lbatteresl, and, we underhand, the lots in killed and wounded is very great ; they all appear to be very fine (hips, and be fore the engagement were in high order." The (hips captured by the Brave STRACHAN are, together with the other two that bore away before the aftion, thought to have been part of the (hips that formed the head of the line in the battle of Trafalgar, and when the line gave way, Rood for the Mediter ranean. From the want of information as to the oc; eurrences fubfequent to the departure of the Pic K LE with the difpatches from Lord Coxtinowoon, it is impoflible to judge how our fleet was difpofed, per haps to compel a deftination fo unaccountable as an attempt to run for one of the ports in the Channel, as the belt chance of fafety. We think it proves our fleet to have been in great force off Cadiz, notwith (landing the damage fuftained in the battle. The &ft objea of the Combined Fleets was, doubtlefs, the Mediterranean. After that was defeated by Lord Net som's viaory, the queftion was fauve gni pent ; and this detached part of the Combined fleets mull have been trying to make their way, by a fweeping cruize, to get into one of their own ports in the Channel or Bay of Bifcay. They pretended to be ignorant of the refult of the battle at Trafalgar; but their anx iety to get to a dißance from the fcene of aftion feems to prove that they ran away with a very judicious in. find of what would be its termination. Upon calling up the account of the Combined fleets, BoaareaTe mull now find a moll, grievous deficit in the amount of his calculation of (hips. We know that of 19 that truck in the beta of Tref*!gat, two only efeaped, and that four more ate captured, mat.- ing twenty-one of the line out of 33. But the dif perfion ofhls fquadron ; now almoft the impoffibility of re-tmioe ; the difeouragernent incident to fuch defeats on dte one hand, and the confidence infpirea on the other, mull convince Boelteaa-ra that his obje& of gaining naval eminence is not to be achieved by a coup & wain. His people, bravely as they fight ; mull be difcouraged ; his Commanders, were they abler than they are, mull feel their genius rebuked ; the (pirit of enterprife, boldly and • igoroufly as it has been palled, mutt be repreffed by a reties of de feats and difappointrnents. It is additimial matter of triumph to us, that while BONA PARTE'S fleets and Commanders appear to have performed their duty— when they have done the utmolt wht-h could ho e , - , peeled from them—the glory of the Britilh flag !hone brighter than ever. The Admiralty Board deferve great praife for having, by the utmoft exertion, contributed to keep our fleets on the different tlations more than equal to the force to which they are oppufed ; thus admitting of detachments being made to fecure every point, and to guard againft every attempt. They deferve the credit of having enabled two conlidetable fqna drons to be fent in quell of the R , chefort (hips, of which the one under Sir R. STRAC FI A N has obtained the important vi&ory we now record. We are not without hopes that the other fquadron, under Ad miral STIRLING, may yet have the good fortune to fall in with the Rochefort fleet. If he does we know he will do his duty. --- FRENCH AND DUTCH JOURNALS. We have received the former to the 3d init. and the Litter to the 7th, from which we have given extrath of every thing worthy of being tranfcribcd. The Emperor of Ruffle continued at the Court of Berlin on the z9th of lait month, dostelitated almoft with the Royal Family. Nothing is Paid about his departure from the lituMan capital. His Imperial Majeity appears to live on terms of the molt perfeft intimacy and cordiality with his Royal Brother oE Pruffia. _ _ _ The Pruffian armies are rapidly affembling in Lower Saxony and Franconia. Some Regiments in the latter country have abandoned the territory of Anfpach, and taken a concentred potation from Ba tenth to Egra, on the confines of Bohemia. This precaution might not have been unneceffary. 80. a•UARTE would hefitate as little for the fake of “ feeding his revenge," or grafping Tome temporary advantage, to attack the Prnffians, if they flood in his way, as he did in forcing a palfage through the Margraviate of Anfpach. The Pruffian army, affembling in Weflphalia, is daily approaching nearer to the borders of Holland. The head quarters are expelled to be immediate!' eltabli flied in the city of Munger, within three days march of the province of Guelderland. Letters from Milan of the 27th ult. (late, that the French had fucceeded in obtaining poffeffion of Vi cenza, and that the Auftrians were every where flying before them. This intelligence is not entitled to much credit. It is already known that the French had eflabliflted themfelves on the left fide of the bridge of Verona, on the 18th ult. had they fince obtained any important advantages, we are perfuad• ed all Europe would have heard of them before nnw. Admiral LACRO3SE has given an official detail of the late attempt to deftroy one of the gun boats at Boulogne. The Admiral is not famed, however, for accurate flatementr.—French Funds 6of. soc.

We have received New York papers to the 4th ult. We regret to fay, that the yellow fever conti nued to rage in that city with great malignity. The number of new cafes of fever, reported on the itt ult. was 15, and nine deaths ; on the zd, 15 new cafes, and eight deaths ; and on the 3d, 25 new cafei and 14 deaths. It appears, therefore, that the vio lence of the fever was unfortunately increafing. A great number of the inhabitants had removed from the city. One death by malignant fever had al) taken place at Boilon. We have been favoured with a Barbadoes Gazette of the 2la of September, from which we have made fome Extraets. We are lorry to find that an incur reCtion had broken one in the Surinam Colony caps of Black Yagers. They are laid to have murdered Tome of their officers in a (hocking manner.
