Mr. TArtot, the Englifh Mini ter, at Caffel, has arrived at Hanau. Notwithstanding the great movements of troops which have taken place in the Autirian dominions, letters from Vienna, of the 16th of Augult, (late, that the hope of the continuation of the peace of the Continent had been, for forno days, gaining ground in that capital, and that the public funds had, in con fequence, experienced a rife. The following are the names of the ships of the line, of 74. guns, building upon the flocks, at Ant werp :—le Charlemagne, it a (late of forwardness; l'Anverfois, le Duguefclin, le Commerce de Lyon, l'Audacienx, le Thefec, le Cefirr, Pinnate, la Ca soline frigate, le Favori corvette. The French privateer the Bellona, of 36 guns, has taken, in fight of Saint Helena, the linglifit (hip, the Coldaream, on her way from the South Sea to London. The Gilwell, from Bombay, has been alfo taken by a French frigate. Thefe two prizes are very rich. A camp is forming near Aleffandri.. At Turin and Mantua the bakers are preparing bread for four principal fortreffes in Italy, which ate provi fioning. In confequence of an order of his Kijefly the Em peror and King, all reduced Officers are prohibited from affuming the titles of their former rank, or wearing regimentals or epaulets. AUGUST 29. A fingular idea of the fituation of Europe, would be formed by a pernfal of the German and Englifh jouroals. The fir(} reprefent the whole Continent as engaged in military movements, but add, that thefe are not for the purpofe of renewing hoftilities, but inerelydireCted to the objed of the prefervation of neutrality. It is not eafy to conceive how all the Continental Powers, having a with to continue neu tral, thould place their armies on a war ellablifiament. ,—There is in thefe dilpofitions, and thefe ex planations, fomething by which it is impoffible for any one to be deceived. The Englifh Journals, more bold, without being more candid, openly announce an alliance between Great Britain, Auf-, trig, RutEa, Sweden, and Turkey. If the Emperor ,1 of Germany dare not avow this alliance, how tomes it that England is fo forward to proclaim it ? Is it that England, ever faithful to her fyllem, wifhes to compromife the Houfe of Auftria, to gain her over to her own views more rapidly than (he defires, and to provoke againft her the refcntment of the French people, in the love of giving tile to a con• tell on the Continent, which may Le the means of rzmoving to a greater dillance the dangers by which Great Britain is threatened. Thus the firfi fruit of this alliance, if it exifts, would arife out of premeditated perfidy, and, if the alli ance does not exift, what motive can induce the Englifh Journalifts to (peak of it as already arranged? The French people cannot Puffer themtelv:s to be lieve that the Houfe of Auftril, humbled, betrayed, and abandoned, during the lalt war, by the Cabinzt of St. James's, will again (hew any e;iii.ofition or any deference to that overbearing Cabinet. If the French people then refufe to believe in this alliance, are they on the ground now Hated, at all to be condemned ? If the Englilh Journals omit nothing to coniprornife Autlria, which they perceive nut to be at all forward in coming into their views, they talk more confident ly of Rua', which appears more favourably difpofed. Is it then that the report is confidently circulated that 80,0c,0 Rullian troops are to be in Mr. Pitt's p2y ?—lt is unfortunate for Ruffia, whi.:h has always ihewn a great delire to attain confideration among the nations of Europe, not to have paid more atten tion to the reprefentations of French writers. They would have indifputably proved that the power which places its troops in the pay of another, can only be conlidered in a fecondary light, and perhaps the Ern perm' Alexander will witnefs the Ibame of allowing himfelf to defcend from the high rank which his an. Ceflors enjoy: 1, to at a part unworthy of that dig nity and confideration to which the Empire be go-, verns has .. right to afpire. An Emperor to the pay of a nation of Ihopkeepers, conveys nn idea of thole times when the title of Emperor correfponded to that of Mailer of the World. France remains tranquil at the rumour of the armed neutralities of the Conti nent, and the alliances of England. If in the midli of the moil afflieling divilions the was able to refit the whole of Europe, what could the not now do, when firong in the union of all her members, and after having entrufled the care of her profperity to a chief who can find no enemy throughout Europe by whom his genius is not admired ?----journal de rEnvpire. 100017 50. • Her Rielly the Ernprefs arrived yetlerday even ing at Earls. Letters from Martinique inform us, that the town of St. Pierre is the emporium of the Weft India Mande. There were, at die date of the letter, above 12 veffels in the road, and so in the other Wands. Cultivation was carried to the greatefl puflible degree of perfeaion, and the produce exceeded the moil lan guine expeaation. On the 25th. a Turkifh phyfician and interpreter, and two merchants, from Moldavia, paffed through Nancy, on their way to Paris. AUGUST 3t. The Emperor has Wiled a decree, by which it is among other things ordered, that the 30,000 con fcripts, which, according to the decree of the trh January, were to join die army, and the 3u,000. which were to be called out when it fhould he thought neceflary to raife the war ellahlifhment, !hall be cal led out into aZtual fervice. The regulations for ef feding this augmmtation are very firid, and are to be enforced by fevere penalties. This decree, as well as the removal of 30,000 men from the camp on the coati towards Germany, mull excite apprehenfions that the peace of the Continent is about to be ditturbed. It has even been already Rated, that Czmitt Cosa NTZE t. was recalled, and had' fet out from this city on his return to Vienna, but that report was falfe. It was occalioned by the newfpapers having announced the marching of French troops to the Rhine and Italy. The report of the commencement of hoftilities on the Continent continues. It is afrerted, that two di vifions ha* already left the camp on the coal!, which is broken up ; that Marfhal Snvt.T is gone from Boulogne to Strafburg, to at as the Emperor's Lieutenant over the army colletling there, which his Majelly is to command in p:rfon ; and l a ttly, that MASSE!ea has declined the command of the army in Italy. We learn from Italy that for about a month pail confiderable movements have taken place among the French troops in Upper Italy. They are collecting along the Chiefa, and a camp is forming at Monte Chiaro. Letters from Genoa, dated the loth Rate, that on the day before a very bra cannonade was heard there, which was believed to prcceed from an attion between the fquadron commanded by jcßoste Bo NAPAII TE and fome Engin miters. No certain ac. counts had then been received at Genoa, but it was reported, that the Engin fhips had been chafed, and that the French fquadron had purfued its courfe to wards Toulon. Letters from Strafbargh Rate, that the French Ambafrador at Vienna had delivered in a Note to the Au!lrian Cabinet, demanding the col.jeCt of the warlike preparations he obferved in the Antirian do minions, but that he had received an trofatisfaClory anfwer. On the other hand it is reported, that the Court of Autiria has intimated that all the ncgcci ations between it and Rutlia had fur their °Nal the placing the two countries in a Rate of armed neutra lity. It appears, however, that the Aultrian regi ments, which were to form a camp at Budweis, in Bohemia, have unexpeetedly received orders to march to Erms, in Upper Aultria, where they will make part of a very large encampment. The regi ments of Manfredini and Jofeph Colleredo, which belonged to the Bohemian troops, have already ar rived in Uper Außria. According to accounts from Naples, the damage done by the late earthquake amounts to 240 millions of francs. The 3bn/tear, alluding to an article which appear. ed in an Englifh paper refpdling the language ufed by thatiournal on the fubjeet of the battle of the aid, admitting the account of the engagement to be more moderate than what was commonly flat* by the official journal, has the to:lowing note : " Softly, Gentlemen, 10E4 ! We never pretended that in one day, rale month, or one year, we Ihould be able to wtell frum you the empire of the kas.— We, in the mean time, exercife and inftruCt ouifelves —you have been fought by our cruizers, which were menaced and attacked. The frigate la Ville de Mi• lan has taken the Cl:epatra. The higate Top..ze has taker. the Blanche. The corvette la !dui' on has taken two brigs ; and our flotillas have put your cruizers to flight. In a word Admiral CALDER tied difmayed, mauled, leaving fifteen (hips lagging be hind, and unable to renew the enFac*ement. It mull be granted then that this is no bad beginning.".' mem TH.I FRENCH AND DUTCH PAPERS. VIENNA, Aon usr 2 tel y an A unrian and two French Couriers arrived here from Paris, and two Couriers from Sr. Peter (burgh. We learn by letters and travellers from Poland, that the Ruffian troops on the frontier of Gallicia continue to increale confiderably in number. The Miniiter of State, Count Cos EN rz EL, has communicated to all the Foreign Mi. nifiers at this Court, the Note delivered by M. No- VOSILTZOFF to the Prullian Cabinet on the rupture of the-negotiation between Ituffia and France. FRANCKFORT, AUGUST 20.—We have heard, that an important declaration has been tranfmitted by his Majelty the Emperor NAPOLEON, to a great Court, in anfwer to the !ail Note of M. de NovositTzurF, in which his Maje!ly is laid to have teltified his willing nefs to accept she mediation of that Court, in order to fettle the milunderaanding exiling between him and other powers. Without crediting all. there reports, we may at kali conclude from them, that peace has many partizans on the Continent, and that they op. pore their news to the warlike intelligence from Eng land. ' AUGUST at —The Pruffian troops cantoned in Franconia have received orders to recall their half yearly furloughs. They name, betides Denmark, literal States of Germany who have determ:ned to unite to Pruffsa for the maintenance of their Neutra lity, and who have lready commenced ne;nciations fur this objeel. For fume weeks they have been tranfporting to Marienburgh, near Wurtzburgh, a park of artillery and warlike doves, which were in the arfenal of Munich. This meafure has tairett place in confequence of a decifion of his Serene Electoral Highr.cfs, importing that in future tile fort of Mari enburgh than be the depot for the artillery for the Elcetoral S:ates. All the conjeCtures rhich have been formed in this refired are entirely dellitute cf foun dation. • r Haas ,, SEPT. 3.—His Excellency the Grind Pen- Aviary this morning . opened the Affembly of their High ,vtightinefres with a fpeecb, in which he, among ower things, alluded to the critical fituation in which the affairs of the Continent are placed. He gavien couragement to their High Mightineffes, by °beery ing in fubftance, that affairs were not yet altogether defperate, and that he flattered himfelf they would fuon affume an advantageous nape for the peace of the Continent. STUTCIAILD, AUG. 21.—The following notice has been publithed in the territories of the E:nperor in Upper Suabia : " Among the camps colleted, in great numbers, in the courfe of this fummer, as formerly, on account of the introdation into the Imperial and Autitian army of a new exercife, one will be formed in the vicinity of the Voralberg. The troops Rationed in the di,tri 1 of Bregenta are required to repair thither with , ort &c." In contequence, the regiment of Tyrolian Char. fem.+, forming the 64th of the Aultrian army, which has been for a long time cantoned in feveral parts of Upper Suabia, has fet out for the Voralberg. A division of the regiment of Bender has been detached to Fehltirch. Subfequent news from the Voralberg glare, that the camp formed there will not feparate until the t sth of September, and that, upon the ar rival of that time, and after the troops (hall have completed their military evolutions, they will return to their former cantonments. There are not want iog in Germany, who are inclined to think that the formation of all there camps in the Außrian territories is only a pretext for affembling a great many troops, and making preparations for hotlili •ties. At the fame time, this idea is rejeted by thofe who think that the Government are fwayed by their real interefts. However it may be, this uncertainty met ioon come to au end. Auu. 24.--We have this moment received letters from Vienna, confirming the news of the departure of Count SCHWARZ ENBERG, Field Martha' Lieute nant, and Vice Prefident of the Aulic Council of War, fo. Berlin. It is added, that the objca of his million is to concert with the Pruffian Minifters on many important fubjeCts, connected with the prefent situation of Europe. A large encampment is about to be formed in the plain which extends from Liuz to Welt, and which is known bt• the appellation of the Heath of Wels.— •i'he Ercpernes own regiment of infantry paired through Linz, on the 6th of Augnit, on its way t'lither ; the regiment of Kerpin followed on the ;tit, and that of Beaulieu on the tacit. Sixteen re giments, dedined for the tame place, were fucceffively expeCted ; a ra:k of artillery, of 150 pieces of can• non, is to be c ,uveyed to Linz, where part of it has already attired. Ordets have been given to raife feveral battalions of rill:men, ;n Dalmatia and At:alien Albania; they axe to be ipeedily formed and organized. It is like wife co: firineJ, that al; the frontier troops (regi ments of light troops, and irregular corps, Rationed in time of peace along the frontiers of Turkey) have received orders to hold themfelves in readinefs. A great number of other regiments have been put in motion. The following• is an accurate hia of them : the regiments of the Cuiraffiers of Hohenzo tern, Lorraine, the Archduke Francis, and the Prince Royal, are ordered to form a dißinff camp, near Raab, in Hungary. The regiments of Cuiraffiers of the Archduke ALBERT and black, forni, frith the regiment of Huffars of the Archduke Pat. : Apar, another camp near Minkendorff. The Emperm-'s own regiment of cavalry reinforces the garrifon of Vienna ; the regiments of infantry of the Archduke RUDOLPH, REIS]: T and LATTERMANN, are ordered to march to Venice. The regiments of Mitrowtky and Lindenau, are proceeding to Tyrol. Thole of Crohn, Wenzel Colloredo, Charles Shcreder and Francis Kir.ihy, are marching into the interim of Aultria ; and the regiment of Hulfars of Lichtentlein, is to re• inforce the camp of General Klenau, at Budweifs, in Bolie:nia. A uc us r z().—Pa ;vale letters from Vienna of the 16th of this month, announce, that the camp which is no.: form iag near Minkendorff, will be very confider able. The I,:port of an arrival of an army of from So to 9: - ",oco Ruffians upon the frontiers of Gallicia, is ;tele:tit premature, as the lated letters receive; at Vienna, from Lemberg, make no mention of it, al. though they date, that for feveral weekspaft, prepara tions for war have been making in the whole of Rut fan Poland. The Vienna letters to which we allude, expicfsly 'late, that the news there is as much of a pacific, as of an hoftile complexion. While we are allured, upon one fide, that all the differences fnbfifl in,t between the feveral Continental Powers will be fettled in a general Congrefs, to be held immediately —it is afferted, upon the other, that, upon the id of September, the whole Auflrian army will be placed upon a war eliabliihment ; and that. fi on . ; that time, the new contraas made with the Baron de WI mina for fupplying the troops with provifions, will be car ried into et-cation. The new military promotion is to be publilhed at an 'early' day. V; t EL, AUG. ;S.—Dr. Hr tm, of Berlin, has pub iilhed the following Note, on the fubjea of the fhower of peas, which, we are allured, fell at Landthut, in a The Privy Counfeller of Itchke has feat me a cert.lin'tplantity of tiwfe grains which have fallen at Landihitt, and its environs, in a violent form. On firfl looking at them, I took them f'r feeds ; but having tlecped them in water, I found that they were tubercles, fuch as we often fee grow to the roots of feveral plants. I wat doubtful, whether. they came from the crcha, from the fpir ajlinendada ; or, in (bort, from the ranunculiafraria. The apo thecary Schroder roan convinced me that thefe tuber cles belonged to fome roots of the ficaria. This plant, which Linnaeus alto calls A-Idol:um wink:, thrives in watery places. Probably sn inimenfe heap of thefe tubercles formed themfelaes in Come confined place, from which a whirlwind has carried them into the air, and they have naturally fallen in a flower. Our celebrated chemitt Klaproth, has pinted out to me the firit and fecond' volumes of 71, New Chemical .7ournal, publithed by Gehlin, in which a very *toter citing account is givin of the fame kind of !bowers of peas or grains. There tubercles contain, like all others, a farinaCecus fabflance, limilar to that whiCh is extrafted from potatoes, turnips, and other roots." It will be ufcful and platable to people relidiag in the country ) to undafivid and amine the.laria. 1. ;1 Prreasstrecn, Anc. /4 —Since Futon stsvzoves return to this place, they (peak of nod,ia, but a war with France ; and the preparations marches of troops through this capital and the rit:gl. bourhood, give much occafion thereto. Several battalions have already marched nut, err.' the others will follow, asfoon as the Finland divifiti, arrive. The regiments of thefe and the neighbour ing provinces are replaced by the divitions comir.7, from Courland and Livonia. The 'torte guards an.; the noble guard are even faid to have received otdet for marching. It is not yet known who will bast the command in chief. Thefe preparations do net feem to have any influence on the public incluar). and the grand undertakings, which are contiuueci without interruption. CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 30.—The Roman Envoy Count Iraetesav, has notified to the Porte, thc fome thoufands of Ruffian troops were again alien. MEd on the chore of the Black Sea, to embark tor Corfu, on board of tranfports, in (even,' divtfi, r; he hoped, therefore, that thofe (hips would meet u protedion and affifiance if need:fluted to put int, any port of the Turkith Empire. He further notified to the Porte, that the Ruffian troops in the lonia:. Minds were already become fo numerous, tl.at there was not room fufficient for them, and the rein. forcements now fending thither ; therefore he requed= ted, in the name of his Government, that a part of them might be placed in a Turkith province in that vicinity, and it is pofitively afferted, that the Porte has fully confented to it. Meanwhile the Turkifh Government has received intelligence that the number of Ruffian troops readu for embarkation confifts of tz or 14,000 men ; and provifion is already made for their maintenance, cot , . fiderable fums having been remitted from St. Peterf burgh to feveral merchants at Confiantinople for that purpofc. So many conferences having been held by the Reis Effendi with the Ruffian and Englifh Envoys, it is confidently thought that the triple alliance be tween thefe three Powers is renewed, and actually confirmed. CADIZ, AUG. 2.—Every thing it contradiflory in the conduct of the Englifh cruizing before Cadiz.— Admiral Coi.t.ittowoon, who has fucceeded Sir Joan ORDR in the command of the Equadron, deviates from all the meafures adopted by his predeceiror towards neutrals, and he violates (till more openly all the rights of neutrality. The firft notice of Admiral Sir Joni; ORDE, dated the ad January, tBos, had declared Cadiz in a Rate of blockade, but he had perm Itzd Rifting veifels to continue their occupation. By a fecond notice of the z9th of Match, he permitted neutral yards, having legal cargoes and neutral property, to enter and depart uamolefted, from the ports of Cadiz and St. Lucar. llhefe authorities Qill left a certain latitude to com merce. Contraband of war was alone excepted, and foon afterwards, when the blockade was interrupted by the arrival of the French fquadron, which joined that of Admiral Gravina at Cadiz, an entire free dom of communication was eftablithed. A frail fquadron did not take its Ration before Cadiz, till 58 days afterwards, under the orders of Admiral COLLINGWOOD. This was a Econd block ade, commenced too long after the firft, to be con. fidered as a continuation of it. Neutral veffels, which had entered during the interval, could not be accufed of having tranfgraTed the rults which prohibit their entering places in a (late of blockade ; or Mould it be fuppofed, contrary to all plaice, that they had in fringed them, they ought at lead, to have been judged only by the hilt notice of Sir Jona Otos, who had. peim:tted, on certain condition, the entrance and departure of neutral veffels, the cargoes of which be longed to neutrals. But Adrriral COLLINGWOOD has refilled to admit any exception in their favour: he (tops, indifcrimi. nately, on tht i ir quitting the !Labour, all neutral veil - els which entered it before be arrived ; becanfe, at he aliens, they'entered it in violati ; :o of the decla ration of blockade: This bad faith has excited general diratisfatlion. It is asked, whether the blockade ezitlect when there was not a hoftile valet before the place ? and whether its laws can be applied to neutrals who arrived there during that interval ? All conventions of armed neutrality, confider only thole ports in a Rate of blockade, where there is an evident danger of entering, from the difpofitions of the power which attacks it, with tails fiationary, and fufficiently near. Even the Convention concluded Jane 18, 18ot, between England and Ruffia. 'though it fanttions the violation of feveral principles of maritime right, for the maintenance of which Ruffia, which now gives them up, armed twenty years ago ; this convention recognifed as a a blockade only, filch as was attually enforced by veffels ftationary and fufficiently near. Thus, Admiral Cottamo wools, even fuppofing that the laws of blockade were infringed, though there was not a fingle vet el flationary, or crnifing off Ca diz, has invented a new violation of the right of neutrals, with which the mat itime code of England was not yet enriched : and, as injullice, infligated by cupidity, knows fcarcely any bounds, he has se folved, in order to increafe the number of his prizes; not to judge neutrals by the regulation of Admiral; OREM, with which they were acquainted, and which was rather left galling to their commerce ; but by a -ew regulation, which they could not poflibly foreke, and to which it was neceffary to give a retro-attivt power, that it might include them. This new at( uf injuftree, of which all the neutral Confuls have com plained to Admiral Cocciscwoon, has not checked the entitle of his arbitrary proceedings. This c Meer, undoubtedly imagines, that a new ufurpation cf tite rights of neutrals will be fantlioned by his Gover ii nitnt, as worthy of entering into the fyltem of inva lion, purfued by England againft all the maritime powers. The principles of the Armed Neutrality were fo !empty proclaimed in t 7So. All the great Powers rofe up at that period, in oppofition to the indefati gable amb . tion of a fingle one. Should they ever fees themfelves infpircd with that energy which never fails to fupervene after the !attitude of injuries ai,d Attrages fullained, they wiil find thole principles in the pages of hiltory in which they are preferved, and will be faithfully traofmitted to that time, when the patience of neutral nations (hall be ell:aufted, ae s d. they (hall firmly alert their rights. 31Pel 30 01 /Pr 5 Pc I On Sisol
