Citizen Prefea—Captain Jor.y who commands it Petit-llunkirque privateer, which I fitted out at this port, has taken four Englifh fifhing boats : iot.e of theta has arrived at Flufhing : with the fate of the other three, I am unacquainted. A particular and tacit convention between the two GovernMenti had fafpended for a time all againft Mennen: it was firit broken by the Englifh. Captain Joty, by capturing thefe four tithing yards exercifed, according to the terms of his letter of marque, the rights of war and of repriiAs. He bad hc...:n informed while at Mend, that the Englifh had taken lonic fifhermen of that vort. He was ignorant that our Goverrimeni had thought it belonged to its dignity, to give to the Englifh Government a rare example of gene rofity, by drelaring that the injuftice of the pre tence it employed to flop the French (Mermen, would make no change in its determination not to interrupt the Englifh fiffiery. Captain jots had rcafon therefore to think himfelf authorifed to take there four fifhing veffels. I have the honour to falute you refpeafully. (Signed) no rorw. Orders have been given that the four fifhermen Ind their boats fhould be fet at liberty. C. Orro, in anfwer to the note which lie ad dreffed to the Tranfport-Office on the 2tl of Feb. has received the following letter : Sir.-4 4 Since I had the pleafure of feting you this Morning, I have been informed that the Se cretary of State has recommended to the Lords of. the Admiralty to fufpend the execution of the or der given to capture the Miring boats, until his bfajelly (hall be donfulted on the fubjea.

The Aide-de-Camp of General Madattorr, Commandant of the Ifle of France, is arrived at Paris, and has been prcfented to the Firft Conful. He brought with him difpatches, containing a very latisfaaory account of that colony, fo interefting to the profperity of our commerce. The greateft tranquillity prevails in it ; the blacks are fully em ployed, and all chars difplay the utmt'fi aais We learn by letters which have arrived from India, by the (hone(' route, that waY has been de clared by the Malwattas againft the Englifh. The • pc di tion which had been ordered at Madras. and which fomc Paid to be deflined againft the Me of France, and others againft Egypt, has been coml. termanded. Several Faft-failing velfels had ht•en riifpatched to the Cape of Good Hope for aff.:l - ; but it is much doubted whether the er nor of the Cape can feud any, becanfe fo mu. ii dif content prevails there againft England, that the foldiers cannot go to the diftance of half a league without being fired at by the inhabitants.—Moni tear. R. GEORCI. EXTRACT or A PRIVATR LITTER FROMCOESTAM- TINOPER, DATIL/ FEBRUARY 1, 1800. The news in this country are the fame as I gave you a fortnight ago. The Englifh, who to the number of ty,ooo, according to come, and of 12,000, Wording to others, have difembarked at 'lai. to Natalia, have little hopes of fuccth on, account of the flow meafures of the Turks. The Captain Pacha fill employs tergiverfation, with out, however, refilling to co-operate with the fquadron, which is in the arfenal, and which can not put to fea till towards the middle of March. The army of the Grand Vizier is in the grealefl diforganization and wretchednefs. The Plague has made dreadful ravages among the troops : the Lady of the Englifh General KOEHLER has died of it. In this Rate of things how can military operations be combined ? From the quantity of tranfports and viauallers which the Englifh have taken up, and which they mean to convert into flying magazines, it is to be prefumed that they intend to effeEt a landing on the coaft, but, according to every appearance, they will not foon be able to leave Macri, and if they attempt a difembarkation in the month of April, a guit of wind from the Lybian defarts, a wind infupportable even to the natives of the country, will be fufficient to make them re-im bark, if the French fhould permit them to land ; for I am Rill of opinion that they have it in their power to repulfe them, if they do not form fome plot among themfelves in order to get back to France. The Turks teem far from entering heartily into hoftile meafures, for the purpofe of co-operating with the Englifh, in Egypt, and this circumftance alone may make the entcrprife mifcarry. They, are alfo jealous, and are very fallible, that Egypt in the hands of the Engin would give a more fatal blow to the Ottoman grandeur, than it would do in the hands of the French. TUNIS, FEBRUARY 6. The port of Goletta is filled with French mer chantmen. Whatever may be the threats of Lord KEITH, and the efforts of the Englilh agents, we are certain that the Dey as well as thofe of Algiers and Tripoli, will maintain a good underfianding with the French republic. They have juft now renewed the order to their corfairs not to moleft the French veffels. ALGIERS, FIBRIURY 14. C. Du sots Ttaixv ILLS, CommilTary-General for the Commercial Relations of the French repub lic with tho Regency of Algiers, has received orders from his government to repair to Alicant. He has carried thither eighty French who were Haves, and whom the Dey fet at liberty. He is preparing to return to this city. The threats of the Englifh, and the chiaour of the Porte will be no obflacle to his reception. The commandant of an Algerine corfair, at the inffigation of the Engin Agent, hoiflea the Re publican flag on his poop, which is the fignal of war, but the Dey made him pull it down, and canted him to be puniihed by a hundred blows with a llick on the foles of his feet. LEGHORN, FEBRUARY 6. A Pclacre and five other Genoefe velfels have this day maintained a glorious engagement with an Englith frigate and a cutter, which were the only (hips blockading our port. Though the lat ter were fupported by their armed boats, the Ge noefe obliged them to retire, and entered the port with their merchandife. TURIN, FEB. 26. Letters received here this day from Milan, po fitively affert, that an armillice has been conclud ed between the French army, and that of the King of Naples, who has engaged to expel the Englifh from his ports, a preliminary neceffary before entering into a negotiation for peace with France. We are atfured that one of the condi tions of the armillice is, that the French fhall put garrifons into all the Neapolitan ports. CIVITA-VECCPIA, FETIROARY 9. About midnight, between the Gth and 7th init. a heavy cannonade was heard at fca, which con. tinned more than two hours, and which alarmed the whole town. Next morning we fAW enter the port, a (mall veircl named the Lion, belonging to the navy of his Catholic Majefly, mountiug eight founpounders, and commanded by Don JOSEPH pa DomtNic Ts, Lieutenant de Naiircau, bringing with her an Englifh brig, called the Naples Packet, of twelve fi:.p;,unclel. and t‘vo howitzers, com manded by Captain NVILLIAM BALL, and having on board Sc pizked men. She had failed. the preceding evening with a frefit breeze, and during the night met the Spa niard, by whom the was vigoroufly attacked. The 'two veifels fought for more than two hours, firing grape fhot ; but, at !aft, notwithltanding the dif proportion in point of force, the Spaniard hoarded the Englifh veffel, and got poffeilion ofher.
