It is laid that General DESOLLES is appointed Infpe&or-General of the Infantry of the Army of Italy, and that Cardinal Gonsatvt is to net out for Rome in a few days. . The following appointments have been made by the CHM CONSUL : adzes Boarienne to be Counfcllor of State for the Extraor dinary Service. Citizens Sainte•Suzanne, General of Divifion, and Dumas, General of Brigade, to be Coonfellor of State for the War De puunent. General of Mafia] Clarke, to be Milliner of the Republic to the Kingof Tufcany. Citizen Champagny, Counfeflor of State, is appointed Am baffador to the Court of Vienna. Citizen Lactase, chef d'Efeadnin, is appointed Chief of Bri gade, far his eliftinguilhal condudt at the battles of Mix:skin* and Marengo. Citizen Lance, Chief of Brigade, Is conftituted Taft Socre- bry of the Eatbaly to the Court of Vienna. admit Dodos, farmaiy Secretary of legation at Ratifbon aid Bann, is made Second; and Citizen Panel, Third Secre tary of Legation to the Wee Court. It is currently reported at Vienna, that the French are forming large magazines at Pefchiera and Mantua, and that confiderable bodies of re cruits are paling the Alps to complete the cores in Italy; hence they infer that there Rill exias in France a difpofition to prolong the war. The fame agents circulate rumours at Paris, that the Court of Vienna is railing new corps, that it continues to provide the horfes for the con veyance of artillery; that it accelerates its levies; that it is reaffembling its army ; from there Rate rnents they attempt to give credit to the conchs. Eon, that war. is Rill the favourite °hie& of the Außninit Cabinet. It is Paid in Germany that .French troops have entered into Rome, anti have taken poffeffion of the Rates of the Holy Father. Reports prevail at Paris, that the Auffrian troops • have entered the Upper Palatinate, and that they have had fome fkirrnifhes in that quarter ; even the names of the officers killed and wounded are fpecified ; thus has the Houfe of Außria already renewed the war, and violated the treaty of Lune vile. • ** At Vienna it is confidently affirmed, that ts,ooo French troops have croffed the Rhine at Cadel, and are now marching with the greatift rapidity into Weflphalia. In Paris there are not wanting perfons to afert, that a confiderahle body of Auftnan troops have embarked at Triefte on board of Englifh reeds, to be conveyed to Egypt for the fupport of the Britifts army in that quarter of the world. They maintain at Vienna, that the Republic has aolonger a wilt to fend an ambaffador to the Court of his Imperial Maj e&y. They rejoin at Paris that M. de CORISTZ IL is to leave this place in a few days. All theft reports coming from the fame fount and calculated for the fame end, are equally del. titute of truth. Never was the Continent farther removed from the profpea of war; it has no exiftence but in the brains and the fancy of the agents of England.— Their impudence and their addrefs are truly ex. tranrdinary. Bulletins formed on mere conjetture, fecretly difpatched by different ways, .give at the fame moment circulation zo their alarming reports; and the Journalift, proud of being the firit to corn. ninnicate intelligence Co important, arranges them in his own manner to give them additional credit. How deteftable is policy like this, which cape., riencea no tranquility or repofe, but in the diforder of the world 1 ! 1 If all the mothers who have loft their Eons--if all the women who have been deprived of their ' hufbands—if all the children whore fathers have fallen in Germany, or in France, during the pro grefs of this horrible and pmtraard war, were to pats the (traits and prefent themfelves in a crond in the Park of Windfor, they would fay to the Eng lifh Cabinet :—lt moat *wig to par interfesettee ' et alas to faith tde e paw psFer.,, to 411•0 have I n 9 all that goat l'aV to oar heart:. The aancellor of the Exchequer might then give orders to produce from the Treafury, the ac count of all that the war has colt England; but he would loon fee that the three or four hundred millions granted is fubfidies to the Princes of the Continent, are (mall indeed, compared with that Turn of the ills which his politics have produced, and all this croud of people would cry out, 44 Why did you not keep your money, and leave our fa. there, our hulbands, and our children to lire r'— Taught by experience, all the people of the Con. tioent join cordially in exclaiming, 4 6 Keep your money, Englifhmen, we will no longer cut each others throats for the promotion of your interefts." A fubfcription has been opened in favour of the families of the foldiets and Tailors who fell in the battle of Algefiras and we hope that in genero. fity likewife French will not allow themfelves to be excelled by the Englith. Independent of the Haan 'sax, which was taken in the battle of Algefiras, two other tbips are ren dered unfit for fervice ; they reached Gibraltar, not without the greatell difficulty, having received On much damage that they were no longer confi alerted so be fca-worthy, and were accordingly de elated tube ufelefs. Le Postage is one of there two !hips ; it was this rad which, in the middle of the attion, had ftruck her flag.—The thsee other yeah have fuirezed much, and were much aided in reaching Gibraltai, by the fupport of a great number of gun boats. The French Captain, ,Momcovsti, has been kil led : he was one of the heft Officers in the French Navy. On the Bth July, the French (hips were repaired. The Hannibal was manned with drafts from the other veffels. On the Bth July, Admiral Moento, with five Spanifh (hips, and Rear• Admiral DEMANOIR, With feveral French (hips, arrived before Algefiras, to join the fquadrou of Rear-Admiral Limo's, to tow away the Hannibal and to proceed for Cadiz. Rear-Admiral Ltwois in the murk of his cruize took a great many En gl ifh merchant velrels and two brigs belonging to is Britannic Majefty. Admiral MAZZAREDO, Commander at Cadiz, difplaycd much zeal and aftivity in difpatching Admiral MOR ENO, and in fending the French fqua dron at Algefiras every thing of which it flood in need.—Moniteur. JuLr :3.—The fquadron of Rear-Admiral Sir J. SAIIMAREZ, which has been defeated by Rear-Ad miral LIN ems, was eompofed of the Cefar of 84 guns, the Spencer of 84, the Pompee of 84, l'Au dacieux of 74. The Hannibal has been taken, le Pompee bad (truck and is rendered unfit for fee. vice ; the Venerable has leveret large kaki. All the veffels have loft a part of their malls. • June 24, Admiral Gatti-Heaves, being in the patrage between Candia and Egypt, difcovered at break of day, a (hip of war, and made fignal for a general chace. The failing of the fleet was much fuperior to that of this veffel. At five o'clock in the evening, the was decried to be an Englifh flip of 74 guns defpairing of making her efcape, the attempted to go before the wind, and chofe the moment when by the difpofitions made for the chace, the (hips of the French fquadron were moth feparated from each other. Setting all her fans the no before the wind, attempting to make her efcape by maintaining a running fight athwart the French fquadron; but P buktifible and k Dix Ass, got a-head of her, and began the engagement at the dillance of boo tnifes, then within rnufqtteV (hot, and after an atlion, maintained with great fpirit for an hour, the Englifh Chip was obliged to furrender. She proves to be the Swirrsueit,one esf the fineß vdfek in Lord Keith's fquadron. The Indivifible and the Dix Aout have experienced ve ry inconliderable damage; the Indivifible has 101 l only four men in killed and wounded; the Dix- I has fix men killed and 23 wounded. Ades& ral GaaritaAti se bas drawn detachments of Tai lors from different (hips in his fquadron. of whom he has formed a crew for the Swirrsuat, which he has fucceeded in putting in a fituatiori fit for feu. A report is current this evening, that Admiral GANTN a has returned to one of our ports after landing his troops at Duna. It is added, that on his return he captured an Englith (hip of war of 74 guns. We hope the 06C1/1 Journal will confirm this good news•to-morrow.—Yesuzsel de Commerce. The MoWintr Rates the capture of the Englifh wail, but lays nothing of hii being on his return. On the• 4th of July, a veffel from Brillol, laden with provilions fur the Englith army in Egypt, was alfo captured by Admiral Ga, r eau sr e. In the month Meffidor we have taken from the Englith two (hips of 74 gtms.—Nanitearr. We have jug received intelligence of the arrival of Gastra 'Ault II at Toulon, after having landed 7000 men within twenty leagues of Alexandria. He has taken an Engli fh (hip of 74 guns.—jew. nal do Paris. In a letter (tom Naples, of the 29th of Jane, it is Rated , that the fyftem of terror adopted feve;al years ago . in that unhappy country, Rill fubfifts in all its original vigour. Though the French troops occupy a part oldie country, fuch is the infatua tion of perfons conneaed with the Government, that thofe who difcover the fmallell degree of friendfhip for them are objets of the molt impla cable vengeance. Though an order was iffned on the fixth of June for the reftitution of fequeftrated goods, this bufinefs is proceeded in with fuch chi canery and reluctance, that little hope is enter tained by the unfortunate fufferers of deriving any effeanal benefit from the decree t (141 hope is indulged by thofe whore goods have been confifcated. Numbers of families are graining under the leveret fuffering and the ilia compli cated mifery. Thole individuals who were deport ed to the ilk of Sicily are !till languillting in con finement, and look forward to death alone as the termination of their misfortunes. For fome days pan nothing has been fpoken of here but religion. and every thing that the Go vernment is going or not going to Jo in favour of Priefls, whether refraaory or Conßitutional. In the midn of all there reports, as welt retfonabls as altrimk. which are circulated, we Sill &cline to affirm pofitively that fuch or fuel determination h as beep taken. The French rely with perfea con fidence upon the profound wifdom of the Magif trates, who have announced to the Republic that the fcandal of religious divifions is open the point of corning to an end. But as we know that the real intereas of religion reckon for nothing the seal difplayed by moll of its pretended defenders; that to grant them privileges which the Gape' it felt forbids them to demand, world be to put into their hands the mon terrible means of deßroying, loon or late, an authority which they deteß; and that if the ma powerful proteaion is due to them, the lean dominion fbould be refufed them. We entertain the mon fanguine expedtations that the aseafures folely direr to a general p ac ifi cat i on I will not row in France new feeds of di wifion. The following is a &etch of the Synodal letter of the Council of France to the Holy Father, rend in the public fitting, lath July : The National Council esprars to the Holy' Father the forrow which is felt by it, u alfo by all the Conflitutional Clergy, in confequence of the unfortunate divicion which esUls in the Gallican Church. It Rates what has been already doe's in the endeavour to bring them all to the 4mc way of thinking. It erpreffe% its with for the re-eftab. lifbraent of unity in the Church, of union with the Holy See. The Conflitutional Clergy think they slay congratulate themfelves upon the conduit which they hive obterved during the long 'erre. 0 eution which the Gallican Church has experienced ; upon their perfeverance in the carife of truth, and the difintereftednefs of their ptefent Miniftry. It is painful to them to fee themfelves the objel of every fpecies of al - pet-lion, and they regret above all, that the men who ought to be the firft to ftretch out to them the hand of friendfhip, are the molt eager to excite againft them difircift and ha tred. The Council marks out, particularly, in this part of the letter, thofe men, who, affirming a qua lity unknown in the Gallican Church, announce themfelves every where in the departments as Apo flofic Cow:Orin, who would produce the herefy of rebaptifm, who unmarry and remarry, &c. The Council expels from the wifdom and juftice of the Holy Father, that he will ufe all his efforts to re &ire union and harmony. It cannot, however, diffemble its aftonifhment at finding that all the attempts which the Conftitutional Clergy have ' ' made to tranfmit to Rome the voice of truth have ' been abfolutely fruitlefs. Furry' rays to Sr. Pan in the Aas of the Apoftles, " It is not cuftomary among the Romans to condemn a man unheard." Would Chriftian Rome be lefs juft than Pagan, Rome was The Conflitutional Clergy conclude their letter with again cxpreffing their confidence in the paternal difpofitions of the Holy Father, and imploring his e ffi cient iisterference.—aldssCilnd. FROM THE PARIS PAPERS• CALAIS, Just , iB.—This morning, at II o'clock, a (mall flotilla, confining of fix gun boats, let fail, having on board a number of French troops. Sig nals had been given that fome of the enemy's (hips were in view, but as they appeared too far off to be able to pacts themfelves of the difpofition of the coati, the flotilla believed that it would run little rifle in letting fail, and in gaining Boulogne by coalling along . (bore with a fair wind. Already had it failed over half the dinance when, on doubling Cape Grimes, four Englith fri gates were defcried which had continued out of the view of the veffel appointed to give the Cigna]. It appeared that they had chofen the night to anchor in that place. It was immediately refolved on board the flo tilla to return, even in the view of Curb a fuperiorl force, when fix other frigates were perceived, which having at a dikance ken its failing, approached it behind, and thus kept it in a (fate of blockade! at the fame time an enemy's !loop firing a offive guns, about twenty (hips of war of all fixes arrived, from the rate of a frigate down to a cor vette, who prepared to take the flotilla sterols the line. Thus blocked up on all fides, and expofed to the fire of the enemy in front, in the (tern, and on thp fide, it fortunately ditcovered a (hallow in the bay, and having by a dextrous manceuvre, and with the affinance of foundings, placed a land bank which reached the si ater's edge betwixt it and the Englilh, it can anchor in the fight of the enemy, who, expelling to make themfelves matters of it, purfued the fame manteuvre. The flotilla then found itftlf in the molt perilous Hate, as no forts could afford it proteaion. Its firm pause in the mean time impofed on the Englifli, who teemed to hefitate on the means of attacking it. During this period General FIRILAND, command ing the military divifion ' ti General Boun's, corn mending the place, and their Staff on horfeback, followed by a part of the garrifon, the cannoneers who were there on duty, bringing with them a number of pieces of artillery, left the town with great expedition, and went down to the beach with the intention of affording fupport to the flotilla, by ellablifhing batteries to prevent the Englifh from landing, compelling them to retire, and driving them from the coan. But while thefe difpafitions were going forward, and while all the fpedators were agitated by an xiety and indignation, the wind fell, an abfolute calm fucceeded it, and the flotilla, kiting this fa• vourable moment, by the aid of oars, and the ex ertions of the !Afars and the troops embarked, pared with intrepidity through the Englilh fleet, which durft not give orders for purfuing or attack ing it by its pinnaces and boats, and entered this port about four o'clock in the afternoon, amid the acclamation of the fpeaators.—Menienr. Genoa, JULY 6.—We have jug received the unpleafant news, that an Englifh frigate, together with five fmall armed 'hips, have taken in the ca• nal of Piombino thirty-feven rads, twenty of which belong to the Ligurian,. After fo many lofts, this one mull prove a revere blow to our commerce. It is hoped that the three French fri gates which failed lately from Leghorn will pro. tell our trade, and clear the coatis of Liguria and Tisfeany from the privateers that now ififeft them.

It was not in the neighbourhood of this city that a heavy cannonade was heard, as fair!, but in that of Barletta. Accounts from the latter Rate, that there were feenalfo flames riling to a great height, which were fuppofed to proceed from Chips of war on fire. We have already learned that the Eng lifh fquadron and the French flotilla, which had entered the Adriatic, met oppofite to Barletta, from which it appears that a cannonade was the refult„ and the burning of the wails above-men.

VIIINWi r .11.7 LT I day feveral letters were received by commercial houfes here from Si. cily, which (late that the Captain of a (hip arrived at Palermo, had made oath that there had been an aftion between the Englifh fquadron, under Sir 3.

Admiral WARRILM, according to the accounts given by this Captain, had received information that the French fquadron was at Meffina. He, therefore, polled his fleet advantageonfly in the Ghannel, between Naples and Sicily, to receive that of the French, which on its arrival there found itfelf furrounded, and after a fevere engage. ment, in which the French Idfb feveral (hips and a great number of men, Admiral Gabyrkte,cullt end. ing no way to efcape, furrendered with all the re mainder of his fleet, which was carried into Malta, 'shire four (hips of the line, three •frigates, and feveral thoufand men,' among whom was the younger brother of chevalier Conful BONA PAR TF, had arrived.
