Illt—Omoiurn 9, It is airerted with confidence In the belt inform. ed circles, that Government has received informa tion that the armed• confederacy between Rutfia, Denmark, and Sweden, has aftually been figned ; and that orders, in confequence, have been, or will, be, immediately, itrued to detain all the Swedilh lad Danilh !hips in our ports. Not long ago all Europe was leagued with Eng land againft France, we would not be furprized if, in a little time, we fhould fee all united with France againft the united kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland ! Yallerday the Lords of the Admiralty received adviccs by an exprefs from Sir EDWARD }'ELLEN, that in confcquence of information that feven fail of the line, with a number of frigates, and hav ing aOOO troops on board, had taken advantage of a gale of wind, and got out of Breft water, he had flared the direEtion which, by his cruizers, he was inhaled they had taken ; and had the good for. tune at leaft to prevent their proceeding on their voyage.—They had run into Vilaine-bay. We hear that Minifters conceive it proper to be prepared againft any attempt of invafion, which the enemy, with fo many troops as are rendered difpofeable by the peace on the Continent, may retake.—Orders, we are told, have therefore been given to conftrat, as loon as poffible, a number of gun-boats for the proteCtion of our coats, par.' ticularly our ports, and the mouths of navigable riven. The APOLLO, lately arrived from India after a remarkable quick pairage, brought the particulars to Government of the unfuccefsful attempt made by Colonel MURIA r, and a detachment of the 84th Regiment, to make a landing at Suez. A pro mite of extenfive co-operation had been made by the SCHEID' of MIDIN• ; in confequence of which, Colonel MtralAv, with a body of between 4 and Loo men, failed from India, and was concluded up the Red Sea by Come veffels of Commo dore BLAN KIT'S fquadron. The Scasesr of MEDINA was fo far faithful to his engagement, that be joined the Englifh in perfon, but with a force fo inadequate that their attempt to make good a landing totally failed. After the lots of a great number of the SCH ell followers, it was judged expedient to re-embark, and leave the French in quiet poffefEon.—The attempt ferved only to fhew that the enemy have obtained a firmer footing in Egypt than was believed, and that the reports of AIDOU•LL HI Mswou are not altogether falfe. We this morning received the Paris Papers to the loth inflant inclufwe. From the armies in Germany nothing new was to be expeßed ; but from Italy we have accounts of feveral important events. The French, after croffing the Mincio, alto paffed the Adige, took poffeffion of Verona, which was evacuated by the Aufirians, and gain ed feveral other advantages. It is poffible that a flop will foon be put to the farther effufion of blood in that quarter by an Armiftice ; for it would be abfurd to continue a war in Italy which has been terminated in Germany. The following are extra.% from the French Journals : PARIS, JAW. to. Dominique DeMerville, Jofeph Ceracchi, Jofeph ' J. B.

In the night, between the 25th and --ieutenant-General DEENA% commanding advanced guard of the army, had receiver pats the Mincio at break of day, on two bridges, which were to be conaru , Monvanbano. At five in the morning, 40 cannon were placed on batteries on tai by the care of General MAR moat. the artillery, in order to cover the of the bridges. This General Offics . are indebted for the organization af artillery of the army, has been of the fervice. At (even, 6 companies of c commanded by C. Davt2t.zas, Cbbtof light battalion, pared the Mincio ishreel, the confirm :Hon of the bridgeorvi. of the bridges was completed and the. guard' effeded its palTage. A general infantry and cavalry was inunediatek the orders of Lieutenant Genera, was crated without firing a bolt cannon, while enlisted to s. lirftic fire of Marquetry and grape-!hot from the enemy again& the front of all the columns ; at the fame time that they were ftrongly cannonaded in flank fixim redoubts conftruded on ,the heights of Saliouia. The enemy &on gave way to an attack fo impetuous, and fled with precipitation ; all thofe who remained were either killed or made ptifoners. The brigades of Generals CASSAGNE and Blast)* pUrfued them snore than three miles, as far as the heights of Vallegio. The brigade of General Lamm and that of the dragoons commanded by beneral BEAU Pamir, advanced to the left to keep in check the forces which the enemy had under the redopbts. The brigade of dragoons, compofed of the tit and 9th, made a fuccefsful charge. Four pieces of light artillery were placed on a battery, near enough for grape-(hot to counteract the fire of the redoubts, which very much galled the brigades of LArisss and BEALII4ONT ; the horfe artillery and foldiers of the train performed prodigies of valour; they manoeuvred during more than an hour •tgainn the grape fhot of the enemy, which difabled many of the men as well as the horfes ; the Chief of Bat talion, Ausay, conftantly direeted• this battery.— The enemy were at length driven from their po fitions by the brigade of LA PISSI, who carried them by the bayonet, received with firmnefs the different charges of cavalry, waited for them within pit of shot, and compelled the enemy to make a precipitate retreat. In the mean time, Generals CASSAGN and BissoN had taken a po fition on the heights towards Vallegio, where they were foon attacked by the referve of the enemy, compofcd of the Hungarian grenadiers, to the number of I 2,0c0. Nothing but the bravery of our troops could have fupported, for more than two hours, the repeated attacks of forces fo fu perior. The iffue of this unequal conteft might have proved unfavourable to our troops ; but the divifion on the right of Lieut. General Motwar, near which he himfelf was in perfon, commanded by General Bounrr, came up ; the charge being beat along the whole line hurried on our troops. The route became complete, we took from them four. pieces of cannon, one cliffon, and about zone prifoners. This movement carried a part of the advanced guard Sowards Vallegio, where it had (till to encounter a molt obstinate refinance ; three times was the village taken and retaken. The grenadiers joined to the divifion of BOUDIT, and led on by the Adjutants DALTON and DMus, came up very opportunely to fecond the efforts of the 52d demi-brigade, and at laft occupied Vallegio, after taking two pieces of cannon.— Adjutant DALTON was feverely wounded by a ball at the head of the grenadiers. On the firft cannon (hot fired againft Vallegio, General of Brigade, Lssutrts, forming part of the central corps at the head of the brave 72d, marched along with its l Chief, FItIATIIR, againft the palifaded redoubts of Borghetto. The courage of thefe brave men was at firft not able to triumph over the obilacles they experienced. Several of them fell below the entrenchments, but loon rallying, they hurried to a new attack when the Auftrian Commandant, unwilling to incur farther danger, beat a retreat, and offered to capitulate : 2000 prifoners, 29 of whom were officers, g pieces of cannon, z howit zers, goo mufkets, and 8o hones, were the refult of this capitulation. In confeqnence of thefe memorable anions the centre of the army under the command of General &KNIT, the referee under General Mc tour:, and the cavalry commanded by the General of divifion Davousr, effeCted their paffage and took their pofitions : the referee of artillery followed. In the night the enemy, who had remained me ters of the Caftle of Vallegio, evacuated the place. The day of the 26th was Rill more glorious for all the troops who had oecafion to be engaged : the route of the enemy was complete. They loft 14 pieces of cannon, and about 3soo prifoners. The General Officers of the Staff who diftinguifb ed tkemfelves deferve the greaten praife. They all fought with diftinCtion. Theaftivity of C. Aux, Direffor.General of the parks of artillery, who was charged with the conftraltion tithe bridges, deferves to be recom mended to notice ; he was perfeitly well feconded by C. Povat and Daariaams, Cbief of Battalion of the pontooners. The brave General of Brigade, Ms It MET, aas feverely wounded fighting at the bead of his troops, on the road to Valleggio. Among the fuperior officers wounded are the Chiefs of Brigade, GASPARD, commanding the ill of the Provifional Line; Goinsor, Commandant of the :sth light; DM/Altai, Chief of Brigade of the zsth light; and Dissscuss of the pd. General Bsaunome, charging at the head of the ti and sd regiments of dragoons, had a horfe wounded; General Lirissa, a horfe killed; the I Chief of Brigade BALTAZaII, of the aoth light. a horfe wounded; C. Beysamass, of the sorb light, a horfc killed and another wounded; C. MARTIX, a horfe wounded.

All thefe Officers, accompanied only by four chaffeurs of the 14th and z ia regiments, in concert with the brigades of CAS !AGM E and Bissos, contributed not a little by that impetuous ardour, infpired by honour, to repulfe the e • ny, who were marching in a body with very fuperior forces againit thefe two brigades. Concluded by a General out of the line, to that point where the greateft refiltance was made, they drove back every thing that oppofed them, took one piece of cannon, and by this movement gave time to the divifion of BAUDar to reach the heights. In this charge the General at their head had his both wounded; the Chef d'Efcadron, TH !zloty, was knocked down, being (truck with the buts of the enemy's muikets ; Adjutant AwDRIEu had his horfe killed under him--tome hours before his horfe had been wounded. C. CHAPELLE, Aid-de- Camp of General Vioxot.t.z, was killed by the fide of his General, Who was prefent in this affair. Next day, the zyth, Lieutenant-General DEL PAS, having entirely furrounded the redoubts of Salinzona, was preparing for an afFault, when the enemy offered to capitulate, but they were not ad mitted but at difcretion ; ta. pieces of cannon, zoo° prifoners, and two pair of colours fell into our hands. Twenty-eight pieces of cannon, two how itzers, with their ammunition, about 8500 prifo ners, among whom are 6o officers, and two pair of colours, are the fruits of thefe two days. _ _ I have the honour to falute you with refpea.
