The following communications from private fources, were received by the Mail which arrived on Saturday: H•MBURG H, OCTOBER 9.—The news of the Preliminaries of Peace being figned between Eng 'land and France, which were circulated yetlerday morning, and have been announced in our newt papers to.day, have already produced here the greateft fenfation, and we fear from this event a great change in our commerce. It was in an ex traordinary way, attended with danger, that we received this important intelligence on the 7th, though the Polk, which would otherwife have brought it, has not yet arrived, and as the wind is contrary, it probably will not be here fooner than tomorrow night. The Son of SIGISIBUND RUCK tar, one of our &ft merchants, was in Lon- don, when the figning of the Preliminaries was puhlifhed there. Knowing that his father and family had a great flock of coffee, fugar, &c. he took tarp copies of the Extraordinary Court Gizette, and rode with the greatell difpatch to Yarmouth, but not finding a packet there to hire, lie took an open tithing boat, and four men, to row againll the wind. Notwithflanding this he could not keep his coiirfe, and was driven among the flips Rationed off Holland. They (lopped him, ton as he brought them the agreeable news, Chewed the Gazette, and told the reafon of his Adventur ous voyage, they &I - miffed him immediately, aad gave him every siffiilance to purfue his courfe.— On the 7th very early, he landed at Gluckfladt. took bodes espr ; ::-. and arrived here eraftly be fore Change time. He the news to hi. father, who communicated it as a feerct to his fa •+illy and Come intirnbte friends, who difpofed of all heir floret the very fame day. After the Exchange hey made the news public. This, doubtlefs, pre •ented a great lots to them, as every article is •tiling immenfcly. Coffee, for inn:knee, which was fold on the 7th at 13-13 d. Banco, was offered yefterday at 9-9 d. Banco. Wheat has already fallen tgo per quarter laft ; and every thing in proportion. Cop EN HAGEN, OCTOBER 3.—Our Journal of yetl terday, which may be confidered as the Official Court Gazette, contains the following remarkable notices—Nothing certain can yet be faid in refpeet to Peace between us and England, but we hope, that oar mifunderftanding will very foon be fettled. In this hope we are (fill more confirmed, as the Commander of our Well India troops is again inliaing recruits, to ferve in thofe iflands. Be tides, feveral (hips which have lain for fume time paft in our road, bound for the iflands, have failed. The reflitution of our colonies will, doubtlefs, be one refult of the negotiations, but the conditions and other mutual demands are am a fecret, and will not be made public till the whole negotiation is finifficd. FLORANCI, SErr. tB.—The French corps of 3000 men, which BONAP•RTE has left in eh* pay of the King of ETRURIA, are very much difratif-1 Bed with this deftination, and have publicly mani. felted fame appearances of difcontent. But Gc. neral RIvAuD has * promifed to prevent their In.' nifhment, as they call it, and he is already gone to Paris to make remonftrances on this fubjea to the CHIEF Comruc. The Tufcan battalions of the line, and a guard of honour for the King, arc to be railed in a (hort time. The King has not complied with the French re quilition of too,ooo rations for the corps befieging Porto Ferrajo, the finances being too much ex hau lied. In conlequence of an order ailed by General Muasy, no fhip is allowed to leave the port of Leghorn. MILAN, SE►7. 21.—0 n the 17th, the Commif• I lion of Government reviewed the new railed troops. At prcfent they are engaged in increafing our forces to the number of IS,OOO men. The French General MONCEY is gone by Switzerland to Paris. An Algerine fleet of t 6 fail, is now cruifing on the coaft of Naples. The crews land in the night and carry off every thing that comes in their way, both men and cattle—great alarm, therefore, pre vails in the country.—They have already taken (even veff:ls bound for Genoa. Saturday morning his MAPISTY, with his ufual attendants, rode up in the Great Park, and after wards hunted with the harriers. The Q I IEEN, and Princefres AUGUSTA, ELIZA BETH, and MARY, attended by Lady CATHC•ItT, took an airing in a fociable round• Taplow and Burnham. The Princeffes SOPHin and AMELIA, accompa nied by Lady ALBIN• CUMBERLAND and Major DEsszow, rode out on horfcback in the Great Park. Yeflerday morning the ROYAL FAMILY attended Divine Service at St. George's Chapel, where they heard a Sermon preached by the Rev. Dr. LANG FORD, from St. John's Gofpel, Chap. xv. verfe :7 : " And ye affi 'ball bear witn.fr, becetufe ye have been with me from the beginning." A Privy Council affembled on Friday lail to hear Plantation Caufes, at the Cockpit, Whitehall, at which were prefent the Duke of PORTLAND, Prelident, and Lords ALVANLLY and CLEARER. v rt. As no Counfel attended to plead, they ad journed to ten o'clock on Thurfday next. On Tuefilay Lord ELDON received the diploma of Doftor of Civil Law in full convocation at Ox ford, in confequence of his recent appointment as High Steward of that Univerfity. Lord FITZWILLIAM has received paffports to travel through France, intending to winter in the Southern part of Europe for the benefit of his health.

Efq. one of his Majefly's Counfellors and Member in Parliament for Tralee ( Ireland), has been promoted to the office of third King's Se, jeant, in the room of EOM LUD STAN/11T, appoizted Prime Sgrjeant. • RIDOCTIOW 01 TH2 much anxiety muff prevail among( our numeroui military Readers, and their friends, to know what reduc tion will take place in the army, on the. Definitive Treaty being finally ratified, we are enabled to inform them, that it is at prefent the intention of Government, not to reduce a fingular regular re giment, except the additional battalions that have been added to different regiments during the war. The eflablifhment of the regiments only will be reduced to fix hundred men each regiment of in fantry, and five hundred each regirnint of cavalry. The additional field officers added to each regi ment during the war, it is fuppofed, will be put on half-pay, though this meafure, we believe, has not been as yet finally deter Mined upon. All the • fencible regiments, both at home and abroad, will be immediately reduced, except one or two which were railed on - condition of being kept embodied for a certain number of years, but which will be difbanded immediately on the expi ration of that time. All the foreign corps in the Britiih fervice, it is underilood, are to be difbanded forthwith. The Half Pay of Pull Captains in the Navy is, it is Rated, to be advanced from 6s. to Bs. per day, and Lieutenants from 35. to 45. Sixteen hired armed cutters were ordered round from the Downs to Dover on Friday lan, for the purpoie of bring immediately paid off, The news of the Peace between this country and Frani-. did not produce any joy at Hamburgll. That city, which was the principal point of our communication with the Continent, mull lore by our free communication. ' As foon as the news of the Peace was received on the French Coaft oppofite Jerky, faveral Boats loaded with different articles of provifions proceed ed to that Bland. The fmall Normandy fheep they fold alive for half a-guinea each, turkies rumen pence each, and butter firpence a ponnd ! ! As the Iflands will now be fupplied from the French Coaft, a confiderable reduction in the price of pro vifions muft confequently take place in the Southern and Weflern parts of England, from whence they have been wholly fupplied. The pride of butter will be confiderably reduced, owing to the large quantity already Chipped in Holland for London, at prices greatly inferior to what it has lately been in this Country. A Mail, we underßand, is making up at the PoR-office, for India, to be conveyed out by a fhip of war, on the eve of failing with Difpatches to our Commanders in the Eaftern Seas, announcing the return of Peace. Danifh (hips, with troops and merchandife, are preparing to fail from Copenhagen for the WeR Indies, to take poireffion of their iflands in that quartcr, which the Court of London has now agreed to rebore. The Spann Ambaffador at Vienna has had his folemn audience of leave of the Emperor, and will return to Spain by way of Italy. The non•acknow. ledgment of the new King of Etruria is laid to have given offence to the Court of Madrid, and to have occafioned the recall of the Ambaffador. Monday night between (even and ten o'clock, there was a moll brilliant appearance, at Edin burgh, of that beautiful phcenomenon the Aurora Borealis. The corufcations were extremely vivid, lumincus, and rapid. A man named Edneu, was convifled at the Oxford Seffions on Tuefday, of Realing part of a throud. By a letter from Bufrorah, dated March 33, we learn, that the cityof Tefliz, which was fome time fince taken pofreffion of by a Ruffian Army, has been in a meafure relieved from the exorbitant ex aCtions then made on the natives. That, of the 30,000 Arminians, who were enflaved by Acoa MAHOMMED KHAN, through the pufilanimous con duet of SHAMI, feveral thoufands had been reflor ed to liberty, and the conditions of the remainder .much ameliorated. The city of Gangi, a few days march from the above place, which was racked and nearly deftroyed at the fame time, is rebuilding, and the merchants and traders are re turning from the various diftrias into which they had been difperfed. The Nits°, of OWDE, with more confideration to the happinefs of his fubjeEts than to the pom pous vanity of a Court or the influence of merce nary dependants, has materially lightened the pub lic burdens by the abolition of many finecure and fupertluous offices under his Government. One of his Miniflers adhering to the old fyllem of cor ruption, and having made fomc improper remon nrances againtt the new arrangements (which had been fuggefled by the Britifh relidrnt), he was dilmilred from office with indignity, and his pro perty confilcated. The long depending negocia tion between the Company and the NABOB refpec ting the Collery Government has been fuccefsfully terminated. The leader of the banditti of Colic . ries who ravaged the Sapatora country has been given up and executed, and t ranqu ili t y re ft ore d to that diftria. We have received a communication from Born bay by the late Overland Difpatch, which informs us that tke Seiks threaten the whole tribe of Fa keers with immediate hoflility, in confequence of (Dine fuppofed tranfgreffion on the part of the Fa keers. It appears that the Seiks had ereAed a flag in Rnhilchund, which was pulled down by the FA- Leers, who drove away the little Seik F.flablifh mcnt. They kept peaceable polieffion of the place, till the arrival of about 12 or 14,000 Seiks, when they hoilled the dillinguifhing flag of their fen. Here they attacked the Fakeers, and drove them with irrelifiible fury. Having dilcharged their pieces within a few paces, they rufhed upon thofe unfortunate pilgrims that came in their way, and having flaughtered a great number, putfued the remainder, until by flight to the hills , or by fwim ming the liver, they etcaped the revenge of their purfuers. Accounts agree that the Fakeers 101 l about sOOO men, among whom was one of their head men. The Fakeers are bending their march in a %Vellerly courfe, directly from the Seiks. The hoflile conduA of the Seiks, was purely in revenge againft the tribes of Fakeers for dificfpce and con tcropt of tLc TNE BISHOPS. Tranllation from tie Latin of the Letter written by the teen French Bifhops, Mic:lit in London, to the Por.:, anfwer to his Brief of the xsth of Auguft, z 8: t.—Lstel Odlober zR ,tBoz. We will noeconceal from your Holinefs the heavy anxiety which prelfed upon our minds when firll we received the 'Letters of your liolinejs, d ate d on the igth of Auguft, tBot, in the tecond y♦ear of your pontificate; which is the great er , 11 1 ., t we, who at all times thought nothing more incinn. bent on us, and had nothing more at heart, titan zealoufly to promote, as far as in our power, your paternal council:,, (hould now be found not only uncertain and fluduating, but, in a duty of this nature, compelled to be even reluClant to obey. , 4 Such is the force of thefe letters, that if that be done which they enjoin, all the Epifcopal Secs in France will be left vacant at one and the fame point of time. By what means this fudden abdica tion of all the Churches of that moll extenfive Em pire is to produce, throtighout France, the falntary effeift of unity, and of preferving or relloring the Catholic aeligion, your Efolinefi has not informed us, nor, to confcfs the troth, do we, as yet fug. ciently forefee. Truly the very experience of ail the calamities with which our country has been af. }lifted for many years, fufficiently (hews that it is not without reafon we dread that, by this volun.a ry and univerfal abdication of all the Churche , , more grievous inconveniences would refult to the Catholic caufe ; for which, to acquaint your Hs. line!} with the means of prevention, belongs 011: f to a convocation of all the Bithops of the Callican Church. " Nor indeed do we mean to fay this, as if I: would feem grievous or a hardfhip upon us tore. fign our rank in thole melancholy and trot:Lie:bi - :2 times, but rather that it would as much as pQilil conduce to the private happinefs of each of us, have our infirmity relieved from fo great a borthil, if we may Hill think of any thing of happinefs or confolation with minds broken by the weight of fa many misfortunes. But the line of our duty fcems to us fully to require, that we fhuuld never fuller that tie which has bound us, and the Churches immediately committed, by the providence of the moft great and good GOD, to our care, to be broken ; " We eameftly befeech your Holinefs, that, in foal; writing to be ['prettily drawn up, we may be permitted to difclafe and enter fomewhat more at Lc! , into the arguments upon which we thought right • aft in this marsur, and the grounds of our refolution. In the mean time, greatly confi ding in the paternal affeCtion of your Hand's to wards us, we hope it will fo happen that noth ng further will be determined in this buftnefs before you fhall, in your confummate equity and pru. dente, weigh the reafons upon which your ch;l - (hall plead their caufe before their mull pious father.

The Brewers of Dorchefler have lowered ti.e price of beer one penny per quart, in confequente of the abundance and cheapnefs of malt and bops ; their example (hould be univerfally adopted, for nothing can warrant the prefent charge in the Me tropolis, &c. On Monday Lill, as Mr. Earns, glazier, of Park-lane, was employed in cleaning the two-pair windows of the back-front of Mr. Cocasasti's houfe in Piccadilly, his foot flipped, and he fell down upon the garden fpikcs, which feparate the garden from Mr. CRAWFORD'S. The fpikcs bcirg very (harp, they ran in at two places, entirely through both thighs and the left ribs. Affulance was immediately procured, when he was with dif ficulty removed from off the (pikes, and carried to St. George's Hofpital, where, after languithing in extreme mifery till fix o'clock on Thurfday morning, he expired.
