FRANCR. PRIVATE LETTER, PARIS, OCTOBER 6. It is fill the general opinion, that we either !hall have no Continental war at all, or only a limit one, vthich keeps op the fpirits of the people as well as (he price of our funds. But as negociations cannot ad vance as faR as armies march, man• think that 80. IIA)AITI will open his campaign with fome decifive blow againft the Marian' before their junAion with the Ruffians, and before he accedes to the .pacific overtures of Pruffia. A Gentleman who has jolt arrived from Toulon allures tub, that great preparations are making there for the reception of a numerous fleet ; and the report -was, that the Brett fleet, as will as the Cadi z fl ee t, would pals tome time there previous to a grand ez felition in the Mediterranean . Letteral from Italy mention, that General MAC ssma has had fererarinterviews with the Archduke CHARLES, Inertly to gain tire for the troops of Sr. CYR, and from Piedmonuto join him. He is faid to have under him now to,ooo men more than the Auflrian Commander, and waited only an order from Boma- PARTE to aa on the offensive. Count Da Contstzt .t. received yellerday two cou riers. one from Berlin and the other from St. Peturf. burgh ; and this morning Lis Secretary let out for -Strafburgh. lie has called in his bills, and packed up th e molt precious of his effeas, but nothing yet indi cates, for certain, the day of his departure. Lail Saturday the Pruffian Ambaffador gave a grand diplomatic dinner, at which Count I)a Co akorztc was invited, but he declined it, on hearing that the Bavarian Minilier, Da CETTO, was to be of the party. In the evening he went, however, to the affembly of Madame LUCCHIsisi, and was received by her hulband in the molt friendly manner 4 but the inilant he entered the Bavarian Miaifier retired. It is laid here, that the Fiedor of Bavaria has aFted a moll treacherous part with Aultria, who has been the complete dupe of his prornifei. At the IA circle of Madame joSEPH Bowe•*arc's, neither the Aullrian.nor the Prufflan Ambalfadoes were prefent. The fcatcity offpecie increafes daily. Far calls cn good bills is now paid from two to three per cent. in the month. Bank notes are teen in abundance, but though nobody dares to a& a dilcount on them, the retail dealers, before they mention their prices, de mand whether you pay in calh or in paper, and the difference in the price, when the latter is offered, five per cent Report fay:, that not fix millions livres, 2;o,ocol. in fpecie, is remaining in the Bank, Balsa. tsars having carried with him the remainder to the Rhine. MALTA, AUGUST if. The following is an extras of a letter from an Of. facer belong;ng to the Britith Forces there Sir JAMES CRAIG arrived here in the LIVRLY cn the t 7th ult. and his little army came to anchor the following morning. As he had previonfly notified Wird& as Commander of the Forces in the Mediterranean, every thing was prepared for his find their reception, and every individual of the garrifon was in the Cullen expetiation of being immediately called into aftive fervice. He has reviewed with great zniourenefs each regiment feparately, and from she whole has feleiled the following for the field, viz. the zoth, z7th, 35th, 58th, 6,R, W•TTEVILLA'S Regi ment, Soo fit not the whole) of the Corficans, which, with the detachment of Artillery, and five troops of the soth light dragoons, a ill form a compael little army of a, gallant and as highly dikiplined troops as any in Europe. The tranfports are ready to receive them, fo that only a few hours will be requi • file to complete the embarkation. " Did the fucccfs of our enterprises depend folely on military ardour, and a bravery that borders on nerity ; our land, like our lea armaments, would be the envy and admiration of Europe. but unfor. tnnately there is a fomething which patalyfes all our perations. Even now, great doubts are entertained whether this force will ever be brought into anion or not. The caufe of there delays is no doubt sveighty ; and loch as probably no human wifdons .uld obviate ; (for what can rode the Continental P , ,wers from their torpitude ?) yet, while we acknow ledge the neeelity. we cannot avoid lamenting the nfequences. _ _ " The fall accounts from Egypt are of the moll melancholy nature. The Arnauts and Mamelukes feem to avoid each other. and to exert all their powers in plundetitig the defeeoclefs inhabitants. and in corn; milting the molt atrocious cruelties. The left bank of the Nile, it is Paid, is nearly defcrted ; and that country, which hµ been conliciered from time imme cnotial, as the granary of the adjacent territories, can now hardly tunas the miferable remains of its perfeeuted cultivators. " Our naval force confifis of five frigates, which have nothing to oppofe them. They, as well as our privateers, often bring in paltry prizes, prototoypes .f the diminutive commerce of the Great Nation.— Captain lizarmoNo, of the Lively, is fenior officer. The Juno and Morgiana are ordered off Cadiz." LONDON. MONDAY, OCTOB4R it. nucr OF STOCKS THIS DAY A r ONE O'CLOCK : - Coultas, for monty, 581—for November 01 39.

It confills of five f. of The line and one frigate. The Rochefort fquadron is believed to be arl at fem. The RATTLER, of 18 guns, had nearly captured by it lately off the coati of Ireland, but efcaped by obferving their fignals to be dill - et cn, f. om thole of a Btitith Beet. Admiral SriRLING is Riil in quell of them. The Hamburgh Mail, due yenerday, not having arrived, we are able to add but little to the details that have appeared in this paper refpeCting the viola tion of the Pi uffian territory by the French tt (sops. — Their objeft in rifking the difpleafure of the King of Prunia feemS to have been to out9.anl: the Auftrian army, and gain an advantage in pofition by taking a Mort route. It has had the effect to render the position of the Auflrians on the Lech fo infecure that they feet= to be transferring their head quarters from Mirdelheim to Landfperg, on the right bank of the Lech. If the Aunt-fans confider themfelves inferior in numbers to the enemy, and do not rely on the firength of the pofition in Bavaria to which they are about to retire, It is by no means improbable that they may evacuate the v.-hole of the Eleetorate, and falling back to the Inn, there wait the arrival of the Ruffians. Their retrograde movements at prefent, therefore, are of little confequence, and while delay is fo much in their favour, their belt courfe is to avoid a battle. Whether the outrage of France, committed againft the Pruffian territory, may induce the Court of Berlin to join the Allies, time mutt chew ; but it has already had the tired to induce that Court to notify officially to the Confederates, " that his Pruffi an Majesty will allow a free paffage to the Ruffians through his dominions, and that he will make no oppofition whatever to the entrance of the Allies into Hanover." We can now Rate, frcm good authority, that Par liament will be convened for the difpatch of bufinefs, on Tuefday, the 2 111 of January nest. His MAJESTY, on Friday !aft, accompanied by feveral Noblemen, paid a vifit to Hampton Court, and were highly gratified with a fight of the gardens, in which there is now the fine! vine in Europe to be feen. It grows out of one (talk, fills the green houfe, and bears upwards of two thonfand tour hun dred bunches of grapes. On Saturday their May s sr* vs, the Plt twcessf s and the Dukes of KENT and CAMBRIDGE took an airing in Richmond Pat k. Yelterday their MAJCSTiRS, the Dukes of YORK and Co maaat.atio, and the PatacksSES, attended Di vine Service at Kew Chapel, and heard a fermon preached by the Bilhop of EXETER, from the 13th Chapter of St. Mark, and 37th verfe. Yelterday the Royal Family dined with the Duke of CU 61BERLAND at Kew. Ydierday Lord T. HELEN'S vilited their MAJES. TIES. Lord CATHCART iS appointed AmbafEtJor at the Court of St. Petcriburgh, in the room of Lord Ls. Vilma GOVIER, who hat. delired to be recallel It is a fad that the Lord Lieui.enantcy of Ireland was, within there few days, offered to the Earl of Mosta, who declined it. A minute was made by the Treafttry Board Tome weeks ago, that on account of the inmate of the bu finds of that Office, a third Secretary was neceff.try. A Board Commiffinaers to Audit Military Ac counts, has been appointed with a falary of roool. a year each. It cant:lfs c•f three Members, a military man, a lawyer, and a merchant. The three Mem bers appointed are Lieutenant Colonel ELLIOT, CHASLES Moots, Efq. and— DAWKINS, Elq. We learn that a uew fyflem has taken place at the War Office, which is, that all Accounts belonging enthe Army are to be finally fettled in the (pace of „, months from the date of their delivery into the Offitt• c ... RAMCGATE. OCT. 19. The warlike preparations continue to increate in offivity on this part of the coati, particoluly at this town, which is the grand depot and rendezvous in the &tot initance. Yetlerday riprraing, a great pt . trt of the heavy artillery belonging to the Legion, with the waggon trains, Ste. efeorted by two companies of the Artillerifts, came in here from Canterbury, and ,egan to embark on their arrival. At the fame time, on the oppofite fide, from Dover and Deal, every road was thronged with waggons, cam, and vehicles of every kind, conveying the baggage of the troops which were to embark in the afternoon. In the mirth, however, of the apparent confistion and bottle 'hid( pervaded the country, toads and (hipping, every , thing was concluded with the greateft order, (peed, and precition. The regularity and promptitude evinced in completing the embarkation each day, proceeded in a great Escalate, from the prelence and unremitting exertions of Lord KEITH., who Rood out in the heavieß rain, when occatlon teemed to require his fupesintendance, efpecially when the baggage was to be put on board and flowed away, which his Lordlhip confidered the mole arduous part of the bta find's. The whole of the artillery, ammunition, and baggage having been (hipped, about four o'clock, the 3d and 4th battalions of the line, which came in at three o'clock from Deal, marche d 7 down from the barrack field to the pier, in a Continued line two deep. The wanfports lay in fo clofe, and the ar• rangernents to receive them were fo excellent, that the men had only to file off oppofite the Chips for each divition, and march on board without halt or interruption. In lets than is minutes, therefore, the two battalions, confining of 650 men each, were embarked without the flightett accident. We had tome very heavy (flowers in the morning, but about two o'clock the day cleared up, and continued re markaLly mild; in confequence of which &woe:able turn, the affemblage of rank, beauty, and Edition on the Pier, and at the Trinity Houle, was very name rons. On the arrival of the troops, the bands were ordi.red down to the Pier, both to entertain this throng of falhinnahle fpetiarora, and to cheer the Lattalions an embarking. Betide Lord KEITH, and a number of Naval and Military Officers, we obferv ed Earls Lire,satce and MExaoaoune, with their Cotra , iris, Lady SARAN S•VILLS, Lady SMITH, Lady HONYWOOD, Lord ELLIIIIIORriIGN, Sir WIC Coins, who was Matter of the Ceremonies at the Poole en this occafion. Lady VIRGINIA _'.:tap ay, Lady SUSAN Dam, Seritallt SHMIIRD, GARAUW, General Acitsturv, and a long lift of others, equally dillitiguithed and important. Owing to ,he lateneft of the tide, the departure of the tranP ports was pottponed till this morning, when they (ailed for the Downs with a fair wind. About la o'clock to-day, a detachment of the firtt troop of Aping, or Horfe artillery, confining of 170 men and 8 guns, came in aliO from Canterbury. and are to be forms ed to morrow by the feconl .coop, and like wile by the other corps of heavy artillery. At one o'cl , el:, the sth battalion of the hoe. from Deal, confilting of tit companie. men each, marched in, and was embarked imme-iiately after the Artil. jery Hoops, with all their baggage, ammunition, &c. I underhand that the cavalry of this Legion, now quartered at Dorchcaer, is to tie marched is here •n-morrow; or Monday, for embarkation. Though every thing iy now ready on board, yet the wiffels ate not to fail till the morning tide. This order has been iffueti to prevent accidents in failing at eight o'clock to ngh:, which will be the time of high water. The tratfports for the honks of the Artillery came in yeitcniay morning, with great difficulty, from the ;owners of the tide. Five of them Ruck at the en tri.nce of the Pier, and remained in rather a perilous titt...t:on till food tide in the evening. The secretary of State has direlled, that notice be given to America, Denmark, &c. that Britith yef lel, cAptured by the enemy, and purchafed by Ame ricans, DAnes, &c. cannot be admitted to entry in any of the ports of this kingdom. Govirnnient have purchafed the honks of PATRICK CAM►BELL, Efq. and of SAMUEL SCAWLL, Efq. in the Ade.phi, as an office for the additional Commif fioners appointed to audit the Public Accounts. The Tranfport Board continues to engage (hips for the conveyance of troops and noes; and luta, within the bill week, ct.ntra4led ler a number of velfas of linall draught. A I irge track of wane land, on the North of the ro:.‘l leading t•i Shooter's Hill, is enclofing and clear i:•g by Government, and an extenfive range of fta b:c: for Sick Artillery Hodes is now building on parr of it. General RaMSAY is gone to Harwich to embark fin the Continent. This Officer, we behest. is ap pointed to attend ene of the Anftrian armiest ' for the purpofe of communicating to our Governtnent its operations. On Friday evening difpatches from the Admiralty were fent off front Perrfmouth to Lord NssioN, by the Haan frigate, Captain FAN/.

The Ennilkillen Dragoons, the greater pllt .1 them, marched from hence yefterday, for LC/•r.. middle remainder for Shoreham, &c. today. 4th dragoons from Lewes halted here yellerday, ar d re-commenced their march, we believe for Arundel and Chichefter, this morning. Part of the 11l reg, meta of dragoons, from Cluchener, &c. marched imu the barracks and town bete yefterday, and the re. minder to-day. The departure of the Ennifkillens from this place is here univerfally regretted. The Officers, as ac. complilbed gentlemen, and good foldiers, are de. fervedly etleemed t and the brave veterans under then controul are deferring of fueh Commanders. Several unfounded rumours having been circulated refpeiling the time fixed on for the launching of the OctAn built in the Dockyard at Woolwich, we can Rate for certain that that beautiful (hip, which hi , been thirteen years (the Era of this prefcnt month, laid down, and which is the largell of her clafs in the Navy, as well as the largeß ever built on the Weer Thames, will be launched on Tburfday the 24thinft about half pall one o'clock.

They are to be fol. lowed by a fecund embarkation, which will chiefly confill of cavalry. The Guards march from Dover Ibis day and to. Morrow for Rsafgate, where they are ordered to embark. Lord Folass' Brigade is expelled to re plant them at Dover. The 23c1 Royal Welch Fuzileers, and r4th Ref. punt of Foot, who only usarehed a few days ago into winter quarters at Lewes, received a very fudden apd unexpeaed route to march forthwith to Rent : on Friday laft they received counter orders to pro ceed, by forced marches to Plymouth. It is fuppofed they will embark there to join the Expedition under the gallant Sir SIMI FT SMITH. It is unneceituy In comment on what may be expeaed from the reful; al an expedition compact* of tech dillipguaed rcgi. meats. The prrifon of Edinburgh at prefent, confills of the Invernefslhire, Argylethire, and Aberdeenfhite Militia, commanded by Colonels GaAs?, Caw ?NELL, and the Earl of Asovas : the three regiments are in a fuperior RilQ of difcipline and appearance. The ad battalion of the 88th regiment, under Co lenettWALLAct, have received orders to march front Dumfries for Linlithgow. The fiStli regiment has beets for tome time quartered at Dumfries, %hick they leave :such to the regret of the inhabitants.

BOSAPARTIOS new Corp' of Light Horfemen, to be called the Velites, or nimble eller," are all to be chofen men, and are dellined to ferve las a fort of fource of fupply to his guard of honour. We cannot but remark one extraordinary requifite prefcribed for the recruits of this corps : as if afraid that the fidelity of poor men could not be relied upon, the Emperor ordains, that no man (hall be adMitted as a “eirable" unlefe he potlifs a clear and certain income of 3on f lings a year. Had this corps been beating up for recruits of this defcriptinn a few years ago, we doubt much if his Inspetial Mikity himfelf could have proved his title to enlilt. Saturday fe'nnight, the Duke of York's Battalion of Volunteer Royal Artillery, at Plymouth Dock, ander the command of Lieutenant Colonel Rawer, came off permanent duty, having been engaged 11 days in improving themlelves in the Field Piece, Bat tery Gun, Mufquet and Pike exercifes ; during abide time they availed themlelves of the affiltance and inflrnetions given them (under the direflions of Bri gadier General STIPHINS, who is Colonel of the de tachment of Royal Artillery Rationed at that place,) in a manner which razes on them the greatell credit. We have had occafion at various times to (peak much in praife of this excellent and ufeful battalion, and than only now add the terms in which the General, (who reviewed them the Friday before,) was pleafed to exprefs hind . ..lf-4 , More and more pleated with their military appearance, Rcadinefs and difcipline, each time he taw them." Yetlerday fe'nnight, the Roboroogh Batallion of Volunteet Infantry, Lieuteaant-Colonel Sir Ma ss*H Loves, marched from Plymouth Dock, hav ing been Uationed at that place for fourteen days, on permanent duty. This is the firft time the Battalion has affembled on Inch duty,. and it is but jultice to fay, that confidering the short period, they acquitted themlelves as zealous and deferving foldiers. They were reviewed on the Grand Government Parade r 3 Friday fe'nnight, by Lieutenant• General EVCLAND, who partook of an excellent dinner with the Otric..l. of the Battalion, and a feleet party of their ieadt.

The quctlion originated fume tune (ince on toll being demanded at Pimlico from Captain La s E. of the London Militia, who was going in his own carriage to attend a Count•martial at Chelfea. It was contended that, by the Mutiny tiffs of Elie 44th and 45th of Geo. 111. all officers and foldiers on dray, and on march, than be exempt from toll, as Welt a. all King's carriages, waggons, carts, &c. for the con. veyance of military Rote+ or baggage; and th..t. Captain LIME, although in his own carriage, carte within the meaning of the law, being on his ?ii 4. fervice.—Mr. PHILIPS and Mr. CoLof itoo• thought that the conveyance of an officer in a private carriage did not come within the exemption ; but they recommended that the queffion Mould be re ferred to a fuperior Cutlet, is *latch all the packs mcutted. e
