The Orators of the Council communicated to the Tribunate, by order of his Welly, his Expoff of the reciprocal conduEt of France and Auftria, and of the cables of the prefent war. One of the Orators of the Council of State having re.td the Expofe, began his addrefs to the Tribunate in there words : " Tribunes, you have heard the Expofe read : war has commenced upon the Continent. This event will be affilling to every friend of humanity, but terrible only to the enemies of France." He then alludes to the propolition for peace, made by the Pm poor to England, in the midit of the terror which be had cached to her, and of the wonders which he performed to rsitore the Frtnch 514 g to its former glory. The ufual chargesof ezeidng affaill nations, &c. are repeated agaluit England, and Maids and Ruilia are laid to be blinded by parlitnii, or they would have declared them- Woes sgainft the abfurd (*yam of blockade by fuch an armed nrlatrality, as did to much honour to many Sovereigns during the American war. He Auks Außria for affernbling its forces towards Italy and !he Rhine, and affecting that it was for the maintenance of peace. Auftria has, in fine, without any provocation on 'he part of the Eleftor of 13avaria, without the flight .t appearance of lawful motives, jull invaded a part o r his States. Auftria has not then confused Well to • • • menaces,. which our Emperor treated with dUilain; the has attacked our allies; the Emperor of Ger many has therefore commenced the war." Th..

PARIS, SEPTEMBER zS. His Majefly the Emperor fet out yeflerday morn ing fur the army. Yetlerday at half pall three the Council of State went to the Tribunate. Letters from the frontiers of Italy announce, that a great number o . Au(lrian troops, centing fro:n Styria and the Tyrol, arc arrived on th:-. banks of the Adige. The French troops a re a lto eol,fiJerably augmented, fit that both fides .•f that liver are at prefent occupied by confiderable forces. At Verona, the bridges of Della Pietra and Pnnte Is:uovo have been barricaded on both fides, and the only commu nication between the French and Aufirian territory was by the bridge of Delle Novi. Cahel Vecchio was fortified in a burry, which occaliumd the re moval of the famous arch of Vitruvias. But the precaution was ufed of removing all the pieces with particular care, and numbering them, for t he purpofe of refloring that famous monument at fume future period.

The Makers of Lloyd's Coffee-houfe were alto yeflerday without their regular letter. In confequence, we were unwilling to give credit to the rumour, when it retched us yerterday, and our Paper was altually at prcfs before we learnt that Mr. HARVEY, the Gentleman who brought this intel ligence, had reached town. The report, as firk Ra ted, we knew could not be corral ; for on enquiry, we found that no accounts had been received at the incia Houk of any (hips being on the way home from St. Helena, except the CALCUTTA man of war, and one (hip, the Indus extra Indiaman. In pernfing the fol lowing our Readers will therefore keep this circum fiance in their recollation. It may be true that this French fquadrnn has taken the number of veffels Rated, but the !hips are not of that value which they would have been, had they Len ail IEaR Indiamen, as was fira reported. We know that two South Sea Whalers and two S‘‘ cries were at S:. Helena, and there may have been j by other two Whalers, which would m..!;;; up the number- If, however, the • . . . . two Sweditk sips are among the number,it w ill prove a ferious lots to the underwriters, as we underlland they were principally infured at Lloyd's. . " FALMOUTH,OCT. I—By a Gentleman (M r . HAR- I Visit, late Matter oftheLsicsssett Packet,) which ar- i rived this morning from Scilly, having come p a ff e n- t ger. in one of the Leeward Eland Fleet, viz. the i Williaim, of Newcattle, which parted from the fleet 4 about a month Since, we learn, that on the 23d tilt. 1 they fell in with the HADDOCK fchooner, Lieutenant 1 FOLLY, with a Mail from Jamaica ; the was dif patched from thence in confequence of the captures ; a Packet, (fuppofed to be the CHESTERFIELD ' ) in i fight of Jamaica, by a French fchormer privateer, t%nicl? the fame time engaged. Mr.FleavEy went on board the HADDOCK, which was then with the CAL C uTtA man of war, which had feven fail of Eafl India (hips under her convoy from the Eaft Indies. On the 2sth ult. in lat. 49. 40. long. it. 4. a Frer.ch frigate came up, being part of a fquadron of five fail of the line, and two frigates, then in fight. She engaged the CALCUTTA for one hour and ten minutes, and was filenecd ihon atter : one of the line of battle [hips carne up, and engaged the CALCUTTA, but it form ended, and he fuppofed the CaLcui re Itruck. —The French fquadron alfo took the William and another veirel of the Leeward Hand fleet.—What became of them or the CALCUTTA'S convoy, is not known, as it was nine o'clock at night when file left them. On the arrival of the flannocK at Scilly, his Majelly's fhip PLOVER failed to give this intelii gence to Admiral CORNWALLIS.—Arrived this day, the ADRIANA cutter, Lieut.

Since writing the foregoing the Jamaica mail is brought to Falmouth, to be fumi. gated.—Wind E." The following Letter is from our Plymouth Cor refpondent, and came to hand this morning : " Plymouth, o,gober 2. " It is reported here that theCaLCUTTA of ga gunr, together with fix fail of Eaft Indiamen under her convoy, have been captures by the Rochefort (qua. dron, and that they have been fince teen by the No via, of iS guns, (leering for a Spanifli port ; we can not difcnver from whence the report originates, nor can we afcertain whether the fart be fo or not, but we hope it may prove to be unfounded." The Jamaica Mail alluded to in the above Letters has brought intelligence that the VANGUARD man of war, and the PAPILLICIN : , brig of war, failed from' Port Royal, Jamaica, on the 28th July, with fleet under convoy for Great Britain, and that the fleet from England had arrived at Jamaica. Some apptehentions are entertained for the fafety of the Leeward Ift.ind Fleet, nidcli, it is conceived, mutt have been neatly in the fame latitude in which the enemy's fleet ::re deferibed to have been Peen en gaging the CALCLI r rA; and it is certainly poffible that tome of them may have fallen into the hands of the enemy. It is hardly poflibly, however, that they can tarty them into a French port. Our Readers will fee by the fubjnined Official Notice, that force hopes are entertained that part, at of the (hips under convoy of the CALCUTTA may have efcaped : " ADMIRALTY OFFICE, O(..TORER 4.

We 'nave received Paris Journals to the 29th tilt. and Dutch to the ad init. the contents of which are extremely important.

According to intelligence from St. Peterfburgh of the t tth of September, the regiments intended for cmbarkati•m at Cronftadt, had commenced their march to their dellination ; the (torts and provif►ons were abeady on board. General Ktrru sow had received orders to go thee the Anfirian ter, itory to Seitz!Argil, where he is to receive further infltn6lions. The Ruffian army ap proaches Germany whh the ntmoll expedition ; the troops halt only one day out of feven. The Emperor of RUSSIA is probably now on Ms way to Lithuania. The number of Ruffian troops put on the war efiablithment, is 300,000. The Archduke CHARLES left Vienna on the t7th of laft month, for Venice, from whence he mill pro. ceed to Padua, and the army in Italy. Accounts from Vienna of the t9th of September date, that the Emperor of Germany would go to the Tyrol in the enfuing week, whence he would fpeedilr rcturn, and proceed to Hungary to open the Diet. The Hungarians would, it was thought,raife another army of referee. The Archduke FERDINAND is gone to the asmy in Bavaria.

The Bavarian troops left Ulm on the 16th, on their match to Franconia, and the Antlt isns were to entu. Ulm on the 9th. Accounts from the Tyrol, of the r4th of Septem ber, Rate, that the Imperial troops from Venice are advancing in great force to the Adige, with a great train of battering artillery. The French were alto advancing to the other fide of the Adige. The bridges Della Pietra and Ponto Nuovo, at Verona, have been broken down by the French ; and the third bridge tfrongly guarded.
