PRANCE. PARIS, AUGUST s 6. The following Note appeared in the Makeur of this day, upon an article inferted in molt of the Eng - tifh papers, tice ;idarlanee of which was, .tisat• the iiritiPa Government had given orders for the deten dun of American flips, having cargoes on board not gipped front the United States " the commerce of one people profpered. Re. mote from Europe, (imagers to the prefent war, that people were exercifing the free indultry which be longs to an independent Rate. England is at length tired of forgetting with refpeet to that people the na val fuperintity wuich enables her to opprefs all na tions and all feas t and the American trade is at length aimed at. Sugar and coffee have jail formed part of prohibited mercaliadifeit is quite as culpable in the eyes nf England.to coney fugar and coffee, as arms and warlike ammunition. It is not fufficient, that, by corrupting (nine faithlefs Minifters, the has impofed upon feVeral powerful Princes a barbarous Legifla- Con ; that fhehas didated by menaces, the fame laws to Wtaker /minces, whole Minilters fhe might difdain corrupting the now places no limits to her violence. Nobody hereafter (hall navigate but upon her ac coont, a?ad to fell her articles alone. And this order of things, In humiliating to all (tales, does not fix the . attention of the powers of the world ! It is that which England wilhed when the precipitated ltuffia Into fuch (*.Ore Aeps. So long as the Northern Power; had any fentiment of their commercial independence, the Engl;fh were forced to keep within certain bounds; but When the Court of St. Peterfburgh, influenced by corrupting iktrigners, or directed by carrnpted in trigisers, cars ied its condefcenfion fo far as to give an ffi ocial charaaer to the moll contemptible pamphlets of the wort Euglifla Gazette writers, the Cabinet of London noldnzer doubted that its eyes were Phut for a long time. ‘Vhe'n England thought too The was ?tire of Andria, who jbe it precipitatiag into war by in,tede.ng iser io mat in 'Tyra and in Italy armamrnts which cannot Lot be costarred as a cononercement of Vi tals, the miler' to tear that any State would te• turn to the fentirnent of its dignity. She threw off OIL mall( immediately, and it is by the rlmeti cans that the ha, begun the application of her new pretenfi OpprefTed Europe ha , hit one reafona ble de in: to I.rm, and ought to place its refources in one tingle hope, the re-eftabli%ment ;1: !he naval power of France. Before a few *months are the outages done to the commerce of nations, whole pacific difpofitions were bell known to England, will be qaadropled—that is what Sweden will have pre puce! by her Diesriles and her childifh policy—that:, is what Anitria will have gained, why thews herfelf fo little jealous of the honour of her flag. Since the Vencti -sus have difplaycd the Imperial Eagle, they have e too iet.ced more outrage than when they na vigated tinder the fallen figs of the Lion of St. Mark. The Grivernment of Venice was weak ; it had reach ed the age of decrepitude, yet it Rill proteded its commerce. But England has the fatal and temporary advantage of blinding all nations to their own inter efts. Ihe more he oppreffes, the louder the cry againit the oppratm of France. Happily France tf ,, es not filar herfelf to be impofed upon by thofe cries—Ate I.c..rws the impotence of them."—Motiteur. In the /:70:::::or of the igt initant the following pafro.ge is extr?Fre , l from a Morning Paper of the zd. " The encny's preparations in the Texa s at Breft, at Ferrol stud hide 11 in a!l their other ports, are known to be in a great' _ _ ftate of forwa:drecs, and Bonaparte is about to fet nut for the Vaal - The attt rapt upon Ireland is expedted to be made first, with a view Of creating a Jiverlhnt in favour of the grand effort naiad England, wlllch ii to be made at the fame time from the torts of the Channel and thofe of Holland. Whatever anxiety wad may fe►l noon this failed. we have certainly no fenfat ions of /ear. Come when they may, the enemy will find In prepared to eltaftife remerity,and vim the daring enterprife to their own certain dAtrueliou." Upon thefe ohfervations. the Monitrur contains the tollowing curious and extraordinary comment in 3 note : " data, doe: not the may come ? We than fee 'by the iffue wht.le temerity will be chatlifed. We know your Cotmitander in. Chief ; we have ken him at Flondkoot and in Holland; one third cif the army of Bnulogne would be foificient to turn hit daring en tertr:zer to certain dejltu3ion. But whatever you may fay on the fin:jai, you know, as well as we do, what you have to eve& from a conteft by land. As to the Tharritinse war, you undoubtedly have acquired and .hitherto preferved a real fuperiority, but you were indebted for it, you Ail' are indebted for it, to trea• etsery. It was treachery that delivered up to you 30 Aatseit (hips at Toulon; the treachery of the Prince of Orange acquired for you 13 Dutch hips; it was treachery, in Short, that doflroyed at Qyiberon all the then forviving oacers of our ancient marine : in fpite of there advantages fo odionfly acquired, and 'which we do not difpute with you; our fqoadrons at tack you upon your own coatis; the Shannon is blockaded, not by !mail veflels, as you fay, but by a .out and fine lquadron. Your colonies had even ar akanged the terms of their capitulation, and fent agents no treat with Vta.tt Ives 4 hut that was not the ob :pet of his iniffion, and in fpite of the obliacles which he encountered in returning to Europe, though his 'voyage latted so days, though he' 101 l so days by !onttary winds, he paired through the center of your iquadrons, and effeded 11:s illation. His object was /tot to attack your commerce, and yet he has done 4 ou damage to the amount of twenty millions fnearof one migon fie t ling), In India a tingle French di -vifion made captures from you to a greater amount. 'One brig has taken a whole Newfoundland convoy 'off the Orkneys ; our frigates traverfe every tea : not .s day gaffes without hone one of them entering our :ports, and you have not yet captured one of them.— In a word, you boafted that you would attack our 'advanced line, which, however, has often attacked your cruisers, fo far from the batteries, even in the *riddle of the Channel, and in fuch a manner that your !hips ' your Tigates and corvettes, have fought Amity Intheirfuperinr failing. But two years have been fpent its preparing for the defcent, and the de kent has net yet been made ! It will be made, un 'leis you make peace. It will be made perhaps in oneyear, perhaps in two, perhaps in three years ; 'but Itfore five years fliall have elapfed, we (hall have humbled your pride. and that fupericrity which trea chery' hai given you. As to the Continent, think not /hat you may have allies there. You are the enemy of all nations, and every people will, exult in your lamili.ttion. But though you fbould fucceed in cor iupting Lome females or Come Minillers the conk [quinces would not be favonrable to you ; we iliould cenainly.acquire a new line of coall, new portt l new countries, and we Arnold reduce your allies to filth a degree, that we could afterwards turn our whole at tention to the naval war.. It is a fingular conceit in you to think, that we could pretend, in one day. one month, or one year, to accomplifh the reduetion of your coloflal power. Time is one of the means, one of the iffeneial elements of nor calculations. Him recoutfe, in filch a fituation cf things to confpira cies, to affaffinations ; well and good. This fpecies of warfare you are no firangers tn. It is already re ported that Dealt& is thinking of returning to Mu nich ; Sreacza SMITH to Stutgard, and TAYLOR to ,Caffel. France will not fuffer them to fet foot, not ,only on , the Continent, but in any place within five .or fit days march of its armies. Diplomatic aft& fins are out of the proteftion of the law of nations. We eapeEted to fuffer Come lolfes when you declared war. We might lofe Martinique, Guadaloupe, the Ifles of France, and Reunion. What have you done? You have reduced yourfelves to the forty fyflem of blockade, which does not prevent our fquadrons from traverfing the feat. Continue to blockade our ports; but keep your eyes fired on the beacons on 'your own coafls, and live in perpetual alarms. ' Should your infulted nation, continuing to be the dupe of tome men, who have divided the Go. vernment of England between them, not compel your Oligarchs to make peace, and to be perfuaded that we are no more thole Frenchmen that have been for fu long a time fold and betrayed by weak Minifters, inaaive Kingt, or greedy Minreffes, you are advanc ing towards an' inevitable and fatal delliny. " We defire the peace of the Continent, becaufe it is in the fituation in which we wifhed it (tumid be. —We might have augmented our own power, and weakened that of our rivals, if we had thought fit. If there be any State difpofed again to dillurb the Continent, it will be the firfi victim, and its defeat being rcflefted hack upon yourfelves, will render your dangers more imminent, and your fall more certain. " We repeat it; a WI and reafonable peace alone can lave you. One of our adages is already proved, and, fince you cannot hope for fafety, but through the Ailiance of a Power of the Continent, hey yen can cla netting againfl France, and France will never fuller that you only lhotild have vefTels on the leas ; tL.e.feas are the properly of all nations." Bp a dccrcc of the Emperor and King of Italy, dated St. Cloud, July 27, all.Britifh merchandize is prohibited in the kingdom of Italy ; and it is ordered that what may come to the Cuftom.heufes (hall be forfeited, and that all Britlib merchandise which than be found in the country after the tft of Oanber, !hall ; be feized. The Emperor is Dill at Boulogne, where the molt renowned French Generals are now affethhled. On the lath init. he revieved the divifion of General LIQRAND. This Jay tke Emperor's birth-day will be celebrated at Pat's with much fplendovr ; public amufemcnts will take place every where, and feveral public buildings will be illuminated: Travellers from the Tyrol and Aufirian Italy fpeak with aftonithment of the quantity of troops and wag gons that bluck up all the rods. It is difficult for paifengers to travel, fo covered are the roads with foldiers and artillery. A circular letter to the Magifirates has been pub- Wiled at Vicuna, ordering great circurpfpeetion to be ufed with tefped to foreigners, the Government hay. ing reafott to believe that foreigners were concerned in the late dillurbances in that capital. The frigate la Prefidente is arrived from Martinique, and brings the moll fatirfaeory intelligence refpaling our eftablifhments in the Well Indies. According to the advices received, there were only 300 troops at Barbadnes when Admiral DE VILLE NEUVE failed from the Weft Indies; and they had prepared terms of capitulation, in which the Ifland offered the Admiral 366,000 dollirrs, 1 . 20 merchant velfels, and 800 Spaniflr and 'French prifners. The Governor of Antigua was alfo ready to capitulate; but he was obliged (to lave appearances) to make fome thew of refiliance,withvo men and the militia. The other Englilh colonies, having fewer means, ma nifefled the fame difpofitions, and!s•ould have ofered no refittance. The Maniteur gives the following intelligence, dat ed Boulogne, Augult 13 : , • Yellerday a hrilliant adion was fought between a fmall divilion of our flotilla and the Englifh erui zers, which had been confiderahly reinforced. Ad miral LACROSSE lent out at noon a -divifion of five praams, thirty gun-boats, and about forty pinnaces, armed with heavy howitzers. The Lieutenant of the Navy, COQIIEBERT, commanding one of the gun boats of the guard, was at the head. Capt. MoRAs, who commanded the whole fquadron,'• failed out above two leagues, to meet the enemy. On teeing this movement, one Englilh (hip of the line, two fri gate, and about thirty brigs, ranged themfelves in order of battle. The enemy tried feveral times to break our line, and threatentd to run us down . with his large (hips ; but teeing that this did by no means frighten our feamen, he did not pertorm it. The action was' .mots bri(k, and the whole camp and the town have had the pleafure to fee the enemy fight retreating, and nor little (qua dron purfuing him feveral leagues out at lea. The frigates and 'hips of the enemy have received a number of (hot, and an Englilh brig has 101 l her main-top-malt. For this time, the Englith (hall nnt fity that our coa(l-batteries have given us the vic tory,. as the little !quadrat was two leagues and a hAff from (pore. Our (hips have received no da mage. The wind being very low, the fea calm, and the attack made with the greatelt activity, the enemy had to fear getting into the midit of our line. —The ardour which animates our land and lea for. ces is calculated to enfure all manner of fuccefs. The (hips and forts are not itrong, unlefs men of courage make them fo. The naval officers will certainly give an official account of this at:lion. The alarm was general on the Englil4 coaft. At one o'clock feve- . ral frigates, corvettes, and brigs, got under way from Percy, below the Downs : at four two (hips of the line, two frigates, and one brig, failed from the Downs • and lailly, in the evening, there were fixty veffels of the enemy in fight. It is by fuch engage ments, that the flotilla acquires that contidence in its firength, that promptitude in its movements, and exadtnefs in its mance tines, which will qualify it to a.l fuch an important past in the events of our Naval wars."

" The sad July the fquadron was in lat. 43. 34- fang. 16 . it was failing in three die-Mons dare together dine* for Ferrol, with' a weak weffisly wind, and weather extremely fen& At eleven the fog was a little dif l ierfed, when l'lndomptahle made a. Cigna' for ten fail in fight. 'lite light fquadron was ordered to re connoitre it ; it Coon nude a figoal for twelve,and afterwards nine teen and twenty-one fail of the enemy at N. N E. and advancing againft us. At noon Admiral Villeneuve made fignal to fail In line of convoy. The enemy, however, Itill advancing, the Admiral gave orders to form the line of battle, and bear down upon the enemy. " [The order of battle is then given, confifting of fix Spaoith and 14 French (hips of the line. " Our line was perfeelly formed between three and four. The enemy's ftpladron, conlifting of fifteen Mips of the lice, of which three were three deckers, pared on the itarboard quarter, out of cannon fbot. AdaVral Villeneuve then gave orders to tack and bear up on the enemy, who bad previoufly tacked, and was upon our rear. Admiral Gamins, who was at the head of the line, ex ecuted the movement ordered with the great& celerity. He bore down upon the enemy, who bad attacked l'Aigle, and commenced a fire at half pat four, all our iltipsbeing near at hand. The fug became very thiek, but as far as we could fee our line was peered ly formed, and our dips very near to each other. Until fie there was a confiderable cannonade, without our feting each , ;:Scr ; about fix the weather cleared for a moment ; we then perceived four Englifh !hips very roughly handled ; we faw — at the fame time, the St. Raphael, which palled between the two line*, and, the appeared to have fome of her rigging cut, but her malt was ill. tire ; the manoeuvred to get into the rear of the line. Titc Are continued to be well fupported, and the adinn :ondueted with the greateft order, and without procipitatioo. We perceived ao Eng- Iffh three-decker with her Maio-malt and tor ment Ann away, anti ' a frigate towing her; whither of the enemy's three-deckers, with a Rear Admiral's flag, was much damaged. This was ill we were able to fee in the centre. The Are was kept up for four hours and a half. " The enemy then retreated; they had feveral veffels Mutated, and the field of battle rernaioed with us. tries of in and iiCtury refounded through all our veffeh.' Thus we paffed the night; but what was our furprife,When the next day We nereelved that the St. Raphael and le Firme were miffing. The enemy bad entirely dif.. appeared ; three chips only, which fcemed to be his light fquadron, were in light. The Admiral formed the line, and ordered us to u, ar down to the north. Where our frigates made Cigna' for the r.nghill• fquadron. But the enemy conftandy manoeuvred to avoid an ac tion. At four in the afternoon we 4 d . no longer any hope. of don log any thing'before the clole of day. • • " The next day, at (even in the morning, the wind was ftill weft, but light. On a fudden it changed to N. E. The condi were' then in front of us. We attempted, during the whole day, to oconeup with than, but IA vain, and at length \nail "cc loft figbt ot.them. " Admiral Gravina and all the Spent& (kips fought with the great& bravery. La &mai, which was the fixth thip from the head of the fine, having had her 'Main mat and' top matt that through, the French chip le Mann. which follavied, bore to kn. wardof her, to take her in tow. We fuppofe that this Chip and le Rtaphad, two ill conditioned veffch, which failed very badli der ing-orlr voyage, both paffed between' the' tiro tines: The 'hip l'Efpana having alfo been very roughly handled, 'le Pluton was again pkteed between the enemy and her. The (hip FAtlx, flat tered much ; but le Neptune paffed to leeward, aqd aided In re pulfing the enemy. " All the French ("tips fought with order and admirable cool nefs. The Military Officers Who were on board do the greateit justice to the Captain and Crews. Joy prevailed throughout, when, on the next day, the Agnal was made for bearing down upon the enemy to profit of tfili vi Cory, which Was certain, as the weather *as then dear, the fog -having - difappeared.
