r I intrepidly kept in fight of then at *Anent): oft thatporL ' 11Thatever may have been their efforts to prepare for another expedition, we can have no doubt that the united force of Admirals CoLLINGWOOD and CAL.. R, amoutiting to 26 fail of the line, will be fuf_ ft.:ent to keep them effeelually in check. Since our laft we have received French journals to the t4th, and Dutch to the isoth intl. from which we have given fome intereQing extraes in the preced ing columns ; but the moll important article in the papers which we received firft in order, is the French Anfwer to the Note delivered by M. Novostvrzovs to the Pruffian Minifter, on returning the paffports he had received. This official communication is en. tirely in the fpirit of the article inferted in the French papers, under the head of intelligence from Berlin, when it was :afcertained that the negociation was broken off ; a tranflation of which appeared in our paper of the sth of laft month. If we are to believe BONAPARTE, he granted the paffports for M. Novosivrzove without eking or receiving explanations, and then expreffed his opi mion, that no hopes of the tranquillity of the world could be founded upon that negociation." Why were they tranfmitted then ? Truly, for no other purpofe than that of making " fome jut' and fevere xeprefentations to Ruffia, on her conduit in Afia, and to the Ottoman -empire." M. NOVOSILTZOFF ♦vas to he wheedled down from St. Peterfburgh to Paris, not for the purpofe of indemnifying the King of SARDINIA, fecuring the independence of Napless fettling the affairs of Italy, or treating upon any other of the great objeas in difpute—but to re ceive a le lure upon the ambition of his matter ! After having been thus fchooled by TALLETIAND, or fome other of the French col: ditiontatique, he was to be fent back, no doubt, with juft as much refpee and decorum as Lord MALMESISURY was difmiffed from Paris or Line. The failure of the negotiation is re. petted, only becaufe this admirable opportunity of it-Suiting the Emperor of Ruffia, in his reprefentative, was 101 l through it. BONAPARTE, it appears, was more anxious to inflict this mortification, than to ac quire any frefh claim to his title of " Grand Pacifi rztor." The greater part of Europe, he fermi to think, cannot be better than under his protection, and all his cares and folicitude are dirceed to the happi ntfs of the Porte and Perfia. Notwithßanding the ill fuccefs of his late interfer ence, his Pruffian Majefly is Paid to have made a fccond effort to prevent hollilities. Doaoc is fup. toted to have communicated fome frefb propofitions, for the purpofe of having them tranfmitted to the Emperor of Ruffia by the Court of Berlin. Duaoc remained in that capital on the loth inßant, waiting for new intim/Hons.—Some rumours attribute the sine:peeled appearance of this confidential agent in the Pruflian capital, to the proteAion which his Ma jelly is Paid to have given to the EleBor of Heffe, who has ordered the formation of a camp of i 5,000 men in his Rates. Two Hamburgh Mails, due on Sunday fe'nnight and Wednefklay 'all, arrived lafi night. Some of their contents have been anticipated by the French and Dutch Papers; but, notwithfianding, they pre fent f)me interefting details refpefting the movements taking place among the forces belonging to the diffe rent Continental Powers. te Id ro From their contents, compared with the French and Dutch Journals, it appears that the Auftrian force is divided into three great armies, one in Italy, under the Archduke Crialets ; another in the Tyrol, under the Archduke JOHN ; and the third under the F.MPEP.:)R in perfon, in the hereditary Rates. The Era is deftir•.ed to trots the Adige ; the army under the Arcltdit;c Joirw is to occupy Switzerland; and the EMPEROR himfeif is to advance into Bavaria.- 1 - 11. Imperia: Kijely was to leave Vienna the firft sv....ek in Septembel : the Archdukes had previoufly let nut to afrume their refpeelive commands. The Emperor ALE X ANIP R. was fhortly ezpefted to leave St. Peteributgh, and repair to Wilna; where the head-quarters of the army which he was to lead were already eftablifhed: a frefh corps of 15,0c0 men were embarked at Odeffa, part of which had arrived at Conflantinople, and 30,000 men were under orders of embarkation at Reval and St. Pe terlbtagh. Eighty merchant !hips, of different na tions, which arrived at the harbour of Ode& in the Black Sea to load with corn, have been taken up to carry Ruffian troops to Corfis. The ezertions of France are not inferior to thole of Aunt is and Ruilia. She will have concentrated, by the end of the month, an immenfe force on the Rhine, fram Mentz to New Brifac; and all Piedmont and the Mllanefe are (tripped of their garrifons and Eying camp:, to thengthen the Army of Italy.- IiONAPAILTE will command in chief on the Ger man theatre of the war ; Jotransm, who obtained fuch high reputation by his tnallerly difpofitions at the battle of Fleurus, will be invelled with the com mand in Italy. The members of the Germanic Empire, to wel ter themfelves from the form as well as they can, are endeavouring to enablilh leagues of neutra lity. Some of them, particularly thofe within the immediate proteftion of Profta, may pollibly fuc teed ; but no Inch advantage is, it teems, to be al lowed to the newly created Eleetors of Baden and Wirtemberg. They are bound by fecret treaties to France ; and BON•PISIVIA Wilts upon the find per !trounce of the bond. trAuncx, LICENCE. this nlorning arrived a Mail from Laos, brought to Falmouth by his Majefly's Chip PAR/MATTA, Lieut.

GRANT NOBLESSE IN ENGLAND. A curious and interelling correfpondenee has taken place between one of the agenu of Louis XVIII and the party of emigrants in this country. Much valuable matter has been difclofed to our Mi nillers by this feafonable Fracas, and thereby our Go. - rernment, at the commencement of this new war, will fee how the funds of England have been fqnan dered, and how its precious machinations againft the power of Bonaparte have been concluded by the click whom they kept in pay. The indifcretion of one of the molt polilbed courtiers of ancient France has given rife to the explofion. The Comte de Vaudreuil happened, at the table of an Englifn Gentleman, to accufe the Abbe de la Marre, " of being a very %lan " gerous perfon—au agent of Bonaparte near the " King—a vile debauchee, who, in all his millions " through Germany. was accompanied by his pro " aitute—and who, in fhort, was a man totally loft " in reputation." This charge was faithfully report ed to the Abbe, and it has drawn from him a molt malterly detail of the whole condut of the emigrant party in England, the authors, advifers, and execu tors of thole plots, which have coil the Britilh Go vernment Inch a wafte of reputation, as well as money. "Yes," lays the Abbe de la Marre, " I own, that to this party I am a dangerous perfon, for I am ac quainted with every one of their praaices, 1 know all their perfidies—all their intrigues—and am even ac quainted with the terms of their fchemes and the dif tribution of the booty. At every journey which I made into England on the fervice of my Royal Mailer, I witneffed the agitation which my pretence occafioned them, as if they apprehended that the fountain of gold was to be that againft them. " Yes—l am to them a dangerous roan, becaufe if I were admitted to the prefence of a Bridal Minifter, I Should be able to fay, that the King has been obliged to fpare, out of his own very (mall income, where with to pay his agents and correfpondents ; and that he Las sever issowa either the amount of the fuccours which Great Britain has given to his castle, nor the manner is which they have ken employed. I thould be obliged to fay, that the difpenfers of thofe funds have conflantly laid to the agents of Government, " we are obliged 46 to conceal from the King all knowledge of projeds " the mot, ufeful, becaufe he has no confidence in " the Britifh Minifter."—The wretches !—while they wrote to the King, " That the Miniftry here " were jealous of his agents, and would not permit " them to communicate to him their defigns," 1 would prove, that in only two innances in one week I Caw the Government robbed of 75001. Reding. 46 If ever I !hall be called on to (peak to the public, I !hall prove that the King, always a Frenchman, conflantly difapproved of the plan of defolatien, in vented by the avarice of thefe intriguers—and, I Shall add, that in the autumn of 1803, his Majefty, without effect, iffued his orders for the return of the unhappy Georges from France; "becaufe," laid he, 44 11 n'y a Fut rims a remuer dans fon pays que des cadre:" —There was nothing now left in his country to [lir but its allies.—lf the time were come, I Should publifis the (even political letters which I addreffed in 1802, to the Compte d'Efcars; and it will be teen that the virulence of the party of the French Noble& in Eng land againft me, takes its date precifely from the epoch when I difcovered the brigandage of the men who fo fcandaloufly made a traffic of the confidence of their Princes ; and when I in vain endeavoured to recommend an honourable and ufeful plan, in the room of projects, bafe, humiliating and difaftrous." The Abbe goes on to fay, that thefe wretched pro jells have had the effed which he anticipated, of ral lying round the new government of France, all the interefts, all the Amour Propre, the ambition of the French people ; and becaufe he predicted all this, they call him the agent of Bonaparte. The hiftory of his political Cervices will give the lie to the charge. He dares the whole click to thew that a Single fervant or agent of the choice of his Majefty has been faithlefs—but he pledges himfelf to name tea trdstor: who have fusprifed, and ad:sally betrayed, the confidence of Mossier', 46 without prejudice to Ode who may yet be in his fervice." The Abbe gives a molt (hiking picture of the perfons who compofe the party, both as to their intellectual and moral fea tures ; and particularly defcribes the character of the agents whom they entrufted abroad, on their re doubtable millions. The Dunans of glorious memory —the famous .Bayard—the very dear and faithful Abide Maine, atc. 1 And he dares the whole world to fay, that in any one of his journies in Auftria, in Pruffia, in Ruffia, in England, he was ever ken ac companied by any woman, honeft or diffioneft. His journies were always made with extreme expedition; and fevers, times at the molt rigorous feafon, he went from Überlingen, or from Augfburgh to Mit tan, without twice going to bed. A man muft have had ftrange cruelty to drag a woman along with him I And where, he demands, could he have found money for fuck a fcandal t His expences were fettled at a Committee of Agency, held at Co bcurgh on the 9th of May, 18ot ;—the natement was fent to the king, and he then received a de claration, " That no part of the funds granted by " England,from the rft of February, r 798, to the 9th " of May, sBol, had been paid to him ; he then gave 44 in his reSignation.—" Which of you all, Me ffieurs," fays he, "can produce fuch a certificate ?" The Abbe concludes with a declaration, that if juftice is not done to his injured character, he will forthwith pub lith all the details of the infamous manner in which the money ifthed for the caufe of the French King, has been intercepted, diftributed, and mifapplied. This difclofure has made a great impreflion on the Miniftry. The Alien Office has fent to the Ab be la Mane, and demanded from him a detail of all the fads to which he alludes, refpcding M. du The, . and others, which he no doubt will render with the fame freedom and independence of fpirit that charac terizes his letter. The Anderfton Volunteer Infantry arc immediate. ly to be augmented to a regiment of eight companies of 63 rank and file each ; his Majefty's acceptance of their offer for this augmentation having been communicated to Lieut. Col. GEDDIII, by the Mar quis of DOUGLAS. IN vaiNass, Sam t t...--This day the Northern Cir cuit was opened at this place by the !tight Hon. Lord AItiIADALZ.

SHOCKING CASE.—Saturday evening, about five o'clock, Samuel Starling and Thomas Halley, two Deptford carriers, flopped at China-hall, Rotherhithe, to take fome refrethment ; and, having drank tea, the matter of the houfe refufed to give them any other liquid, as they appeared to have previoufly drank freely. As they were about to depart, Halley defired Starling, if he thought he had ufed him ill, to take a knife and flab him, alluding to fome altercation they had had in the morning with force perfons, from whence a jealoufy arofe that Halfey had not fupported him. The knife which had been cutting bread and butter was removed ; but, on Mr. Skinner's return into the bar, where the men fat, Halfey took a knife from his pocket, opened it, and detired Starling to nab him with it, which he did ; and, having drawn the knife out of the wound, Halley went out exclaim ing " he was a dead man," and (tripped off his coat and waiftcoat. He bled profufely, and it was hoped the wound was not mortal ; but he died between ten and eleven o'clock yeflerday morning. After the un fortunateaft, Starling expreffed the greateft contrition, went away, and returned yeflerday morning, when he wi's lodged in the cage at Rotherhithe. He did not . , lift night, know of the death of his friend, for Inch he was always contidered. The (hocking accident that happened yeflerday evening, oppoftte floamay & Co.'s Office, Charing- Crofs, by one of the Stages driving over a maid with a child in her aims, requires the immediate attention of the Police Officers.
