ff 'i I FRANCE. PAWS, AUGUST IL i The Mini(ler of Marine arrived at Boulogne on Tuefday the 6th inllant, and was bully employed for feveral hours with the Emperor, at his Majelly's bead-quarters _ _ One of our Journals contains the following:—"s We Live every reafon tc believe that Government has re ceived fatisfaffory accounts of the combined fqua drons. Every thing feems to announce that great events are at hand, the fuccefs of which is eirpeffed with that confidence which the mind and the fortune of him who has prepared and direded them mull in. fpire." The preparations in our dock yards. and efpecial 1T at Antwerp, are carried on with great aftivity ; eight large !hips of war are in a very forward Rate. They write from kitraiburgh. that the Emperor is lhortly expeßed in that city, where a Guard ..f Ho. nour is organized, and other preparations are making for his reception. AUGUST 9. On the 7th, the Emperor reviewed the whole flo tilla at Boulogne, and found it in a very good hate ; on which he 'citified his fatisfadion to the Knitter of Marine. One of our Journals affects, that the War Minder, Burins', is appointed Chief of the Staff of the Army of England, and that Martha LASNES will command the van. In the official Journal of yeflerday, we read the following article from Ragufa, which, in the prefent situation of affairs, is very important: " Baron Rostrri is returning to Vienna from the Mouths of the Cattaro; to give an account of his four years Adminiflration of that part of the Auf trian dominions. There can be no doubt but his Government has required of him fome froth elucida tions refpeding the precarious fituation of thofe pro vinces and the furrounding territory. It knows all the exertions of the Ruffians to induce the Greeks in its States, and thofe in Turkey, to become difobe client to their mailers. Will it fee, without concern, a Ruffian army unneceffarily affemble in the lonian Hands, which a:c menaced by no danger, and fpread ing over the Continent, and there endeavouring to corrupt the loyalty of the Chiefs, making ufe of the fimilarity of religion to procure partizans; who, in hopes of being united with them in a new empire, are lowing the feeds of a Revolution, of which Raffia , will be ready at the firft moment to favour the pro vers, and of which the alone will reap all the fruits?" The illoaiteur of yelterday and of this day, contains two important articles ; the firft is a full account of the fiege of Si. Domingo by the Blacks, and of their complete defeat ; the fecond is a fuller report from Admiral VSIII U SI. to the Emperor, of the glorious asflions fought by the Batavian fquadron on the 17th and 18th of July. AUGUST 10. Yenerday his Serene Highnefs Prince MURAT, and her Imperial Highnefs the Printers Curio:ma, fet off for Boulogne. The Secretary of State is alfo at Boulogne, and has fixed his office at a Cattle near the Emperor's head quarters. On the evening of the Bth there was a rumour that the troops were embarking at Boulogne ; but yefter day this report, laid to come by the telegraph, was again contradided. This day we have received intelligence of a battle, fought off Ferrol, between the combined fleet and an Englifh lquadron. Although two Spanifh (hips got amongil the enemy's fleet, and were taken, the ad. vantage remained on our fide. It is added, that the combined fleet, after had received fome reinforce anent from Ferrol, went in quell of the enemy, but did not find them : this latter account, however, Bands in need of confirmation. HANSURG. JULY 27.—Our Journals pretend to know that' the differences which had arifen between the Kings of Praia and Sweden are on the point of being accommodated, and that a new Milliner from Sweden is expelled immediately to arrive at Berlin. HAMBURGH, AUGUST 9. —An Altona newfpaper Elates, under the date Connantinople, July 8, that feveral Ruffian (hips were expelled there from the Black Sea, with 20,000 troops from Corfu. LOWS& ELIE, AUGUST 6.—Baron BROCKHAUSFN, who was appointed Envoy from the Court of Priam to that of Vienna, will not go to the latter place, but obtain a fituation in the Adminiftration of the Interior. if At Napier, the Diredor of Foreign Affairs, the Chevalier Michereux, Knight of the Ruffian order of St. Anne, died lately, aged 49 years. His deceafe ia much lamented by the Court. nosy, JULY 22.—The vicinity of Mantua has , lince ,the middle of this month, been infeited with wildravenous beans. They were at fitft imagined to. be wolves, but there is now reafon to fuppofe that they are lions, tigers, &c. which have 'efcaped from their keepers. The peafantry and national gens d'armerie are ordered to purfue there animals, by which two children and a woman have already been devoured. Pt. ac laza, JULY Ig.—The magazine for prepared ammunition, that, is, cartridges for mufkets and Funs, fituate4 in the fort of this city, blew up yeller day at three in the afternoon with a violent explofion, which, however, did no injury to the place. This accident is the refult of the molt atrocious villainy, and was executed with the moil fanguinary delibera tion. As the keeeer of the magazine was fufpeded of embezzling the ammunition, an examination was to he inflituted, as loon as the inventory fhould he prepared and delivered to his fuccetl'or. Yellerday this hufiaefs was to have been finithed, and the culprit puninied. But the villain, reviving to die, rather than Coffer his dithonefty to be proved,. determined to involve in his own ruin that of the gunners and the officers engaged in the examination. At the mo ment when they were terming this Winds, he ap peared with a roll of paper in his liand, which i s (inc e fuppofed ;o have contained a match. His projed fucceeded but too well. The magazine, with thirty two artillery waggons, blew up with the culprit, a Captain, the new keeeper of the floret, and feven tannoneers ; twelve or fourteen privates :of the fame regiment were dattgeroufly wounded. The Chief of the Battalion, Mowratovate, who ha • let tin foot the examination,was fortunately out of the magasine s and was but (lightly wounded. By the meafures which , sere Wiwi/ adopted, the st4jacent mottaxinci and buildings were revved from injury. Ass ancient Gothic church was likewife dear oyed by the explorson. BHttLIN, JULY 27.—Two French Captains lately arrived here ; one of whom immediately repaired-to the King at Charlottenburg, where, it is alerted, he delivered a letter to his Majefiy from the Emperor, blarineow, the contents of which relate to M. Novo stvrzorv'blate million ; the other brought difpatches to the French Ambaffador. It is laid that the fpeedy recal of M. NovosiLTZOST has made a difagreeable iMpreflion on the mind of his Pruffian Majefty. This is no wonder finoe it is fo well known, that his MajeQy has flrmined every nerve to bring about an accommodation between RA.' and France, in which at leatt for the prefent, he has been clifappoint eel, through the precipitate condua of KtAlla. In the mean time, his Majeft y perftveres in his refolution of remaining neutral, whatever may happen. This is evident from every circumflance, and the reports to the contrail, which have been circulated, are to tally void of all foundation. His Majelty continues to hold long and frequent conferences with M. La Fos.k.sr, the French Ambaffador, whom he appears to refpeCt greatly. It is therefore conjeltured, that matters of great imp3rtance are Qtll in agitation. HaLattm, Atte. la.—Our city has been without garrifan for feveral days pall. All the corps of troops which fucceffively arrived here in the courfe of lalt week, purfued their route to the Helder. From thence we learn, that General Kummer, with feveral othcr Generals, went on board the (hips lalt Tharfday, on which occafion 21 guns were fired from the men of war. Every thing h ready to put to fea at a momenta notice. JULY 24.—We have at prefent in the Southern part of Tyrol 14,000 troops. This corps, under the orders of M. de Citarrs2va, is competed of the regiments of Newguebancz, Jordis, Klebech, Duces, and Spork. The four firft are in this city and the environs ; the fifth is at Demo. The dragoons of Hohenzollern are in part here, and in part at Ito voredo. We have 27 pieces of artillery. Three thou-' find peafants, and 1,500 foldiors are employed on the works of the fortifications.—The conic of Bo zeno is likewife putting in good condition. Two pieces of artillery have been fent to the cafile of La Pietro.. The Tyrolefe Volunteers are exercifed in firing with the carbine. There is talk of a great plan of - coalition, in confequence of which we lt.ill have war in a few reontbs,ritiornieur. LONDON. TUr:SDAY, AUGUST ie.

We Rated on Friday the reinrn of Admiral Rus sia. to Yarmouth, with the fleet under his command, ficon his Ration off the Testi. As loop as Govern ment heard of this Circumftance, orders were dif patched for him to refume his Ration immediately. The Admiral, in obedience to this order, proceeded again to the Dutch Coati, but fcund, according to report, that th: Mile) fleet bad embraced the (4)- 1 portuniey afforded them by bit abfencs, and pat toil full of troop. What their particular deßination may be, is not at prelent known ; but the above intelligence is generally believed to be coned. The cutter belonging to the BOLD gun-beg, Cape, Cntveas, has cut out from under the batteries of Calais a Fiench chap mark, laden with 650 Packs of wheat. The cutter was under the direction of Lieut. HOUGHTON. The cbaji inarig has arrived in the Downs. By the Gottenburgh mail which,arrived this morn ing, French papers to the tith, and Dutch to the uth have been received : Under the Paris intelligence of the loth, the ;Ilion of the 22d ult. is mentioned, and the capture of the twp Spani‘h (hips is admitted, although the ultimata advantage of the engagement is Paid to have refted on the fide of the enemy. The next advice, front France will, molt probably, bring the (Adel details of the battle. A letter in the Manitevr contains, in the fhape of intelligence from Ragufa, an article the real objea of which feems to be, to excite the jealoufy of Auflda again& the Ruffians...-farther extrals will be found in the preceding columns. In our Ship News will be found a letter from on board the REPULSE, containing Tome account of the late battle with the combined fleet. The report of the finking of the Neptune is certainly unfounded. This letter agrees with the letter from Vigo, in our Paper of yetlerday, as to dm enemy having recaptu ed a galleon. It is believed they have brought from South America a vati deal of treafure. An American Gentleman who left Amaerdam on Friday, the gth init. fpccks in moll conSdent terms that the invation of this country will be attempted, and notices the immenfe preparations of the etre . my. fle (tares, that the veffels intended to convey troops from the Texel are of the largeft Sze, Tome of not efs than doo to tom tons bus then, and capa ble of tranfporting from 400 to Soo troops in each ; (hat he faw not leis than twenty of titefe veffels drop down to the Texel,with froops on boaird, two thirds of which French, the remainder were Dutch ; and that a great part of the French were horfe and artillery. The blockade of Cnracoa continued on the ill of the La month ; the Buliah Maria, and two other American veffels, loaded with provilions, have been captured by la Franchife, and two Spaniards by la Fortunee, for attempting to make that Wand. Thefe veifels have made feveral other prizes. Ilesan.--This day there was no Conn of Alder men.

The Commander of the Forces has the troops under his directions in a flare of adive dif cipline, which will prove of vsift utility fhould any part of the enemy's flotilla reach our fhores, a cir cumttance which we have no reafon to dread.

The late rains have been fucceeded by very warm dry and feafonable weather ; affording the greateft profped of plenty through every part of the country, The reaping of barley and oats commenced on Tuefday in the county of Wicklow. The crops appear abundant, and not at all injured by the late rains. It feems, the intended new bridge, in lieu of Or mond bridge, is robe thrown acrofs the Liffey, oppo fire Mafs lane, a little to the call of the Four Courts. . By this plan. there will be a line of areets from High.: areet through MithaePs.lane - Rofemary-lane, to dle bridge, and from thcnce Mafs.lane, Greek-tlrcct,.

On Monday laG, a lad named Bacon, of a refpec, table family and connedions, went into the river at the Wiers, near Wand Bridge, for the purpofe of bathing, but was drowned in a fhort time, notwith- ' [landing the humane efforts of a bye Hander to fave him. His body was found on Tuefday morning. Yenerday morning, at eleven o'clock, in eonfe quence of the arrival of Lord Nit-sou, at Portfmouth, Mr. Eirrwocto,,the.Admkratty Mcirenger, :was fent off with difpatches by the - Lords of the Admiralty to Mr. PITT, at his houfe at. Wimbledon. The report of Admiral Nat.tos having arrived in town is erroneous. We chi not learn that his Lord (hip has yet left Portlmouth ; and we have fome lea fon to believe that he still proceed to the North of Ireland to join Admiral DRURY. On his Lordfhip's arrival at Portfmouth, the Vic- TORY, having communicated with the garrifon of Gibraltar, became,' of courfe, fubjelt to the quaran- I tine regulations, and his Lord hip, as one of the crew, 'was confequently prohibited from immediately com ing on fhore. , As Coon as the (hip brought up, and he had communicated by fignal with the Port •Admi ral, he addreired the following letter,to the Collet:tor of the Culloms at Portfmouth : ' Victory, Spithad, Auguft 18, igos. " The Vidory, with the fleet under my command, kit Meal tar twepty-feven days ago, at which time there was not a fever in the garrifon ; nor, as Dodor Fellows told me, any apprehvoison,of one.

As foon as Lord NE tsom's flag was defcried at Spit head, the ramparts, and every place which- could commat►d a view of the entrance of the harbonr, 'were crowded with fpetlators. As he approached the (bore, he was falitted w;th loud and reiterated hnzzas, as enthuf►aflic and sincere as if he had'returned crowned with a third great naval viBory. His Lorelfhip came into Spithead with only his flag (hip, and the SUMS, Captain Ksava. The remain ger of his fqoadron„ amounting to nine fail of the l►ne, he delivered over, as is above Rated, to Admi ral Cottewsw. s, on Thurfday laft Admiral STIRLING, in the Ginty, accompanied by the \Wauu►or., has arrived at Plynflouth. A liltht fquadton of obfervation is left cruising off Cape Or, tegal, to watch the motions of the enemy, and the whole remaining force of Admirals Cueawaiste, CALDER, and NkLSON is concentrated •Off Brett, altol gether forming a fleet of about forty fail of the line. A contra& has been entered into by our Govern ment and that of Ruflia for building at Peter(burgh and other Ruffian arfenals, twelve fail of the line and frigates, for the fervice of this country—they are to be begun immediately, under the infpeition of Gene ral Basyrnass, who has received orders to proceed without dela,r to Rufus with feveral officers from different dock yards. Captain LIARDF.T of the Royal Marines, is engag ed to raife tOOO Hanoverians for the fervice of that very gallant and highly ferviceable corps. Saturday we received a letter from Antigua, dated the zoth June, by which we learn, that when the Combined fleet appeared off St. John's, the headrnon frigate tacked and Rood for the Road ; but feting that there were not any veffels there, the made a fig nal, when the fleet purfoed their cottrfe under a prets of fail. Our convoy would probably have experi• enced the fame fate, had it reakaiitad is port, which CORK, AUGUST 12. On the night of Wednefday, a mob of ruffians r t . newed their atrocities againtt DAVID GORMAN, li.e tenant to the lands of Mullinarninky, by breaki; down his fences and driving into his meadows f at : cows, llabbing a bull valued at thirty guineas, inti, whofe body they plunged a bayonet, which they left fixed in the wound. About eight o'clock this morning, a fire broke o Lt in the upper loft of a Store, belonging to Mr. jo. &It arr. Painter and Glazier, of Duncan-beet,. The principal and alma the only article which th e loft contained was glafs ; which, to a confiderable amount, together with the loftand roof of the houfe, were confumed. Friday evening, Lord Vifcount McLvictr arrived at hi, Con's honfe at Melville Cagle, near Edinburgh. On Wednefday her Royal Highnefs the Prince of WALES, attended by the Hon. Mrs. LYALL, LAdT la Waiting, and Mrs. and Mifs Fir4oseeLn,larri ve d at the Hon. Colonel HOOD'S. at Catherington, ne ar Portfrnouth, to dinner. Saturday, about three o'clock, her Royal Highnefs paid a vifit to Comm; (loner Sir CHARLES Sa:row, in the Dock-yard, Portfmouth, when fhe partook of an elegan t cold collation. Her Royal Highnefs returned to Cathe• rington to dinner.

Eight hundred more are to follow in a day or two. The crews of the two Spanilh (hips, lately captured off Ferrol, are to be removed to Mill Prifon, as foon at it is ready for their reception. The prefent fafbion for what are ignorantly called Egyptian letters, to the exolufion of the noble Ro. man text, is as difgraceful as it is barbarous. nue is foarcely a faftwalik wig maker's, milliner' s , or cook's fhop in the metropolis, that does not difplay this ridiculous foppery ; and thus the firft city in the world is ftultified and defaced. It is true that the Egyptians were famed for a fort of hierogliphie eharaeer, but they knew nothing of letters till they were introduced by the Arabs ; and thole exhibited in the fronts of different tradefmen'shotif.s are as unlike the Arabia charaaers as they are the Chinefe. The Egyptians knew that a fow wallow. it% in filth reprefented a drunkard; but they were unacquaintee with thole characiers to decypher their meanings, which our faftionahle, and no doubt elate fhopkeepers would afcribe to chuff. If like arty thing, they are like the Roman charafter in its infancy ; hut even then to exchange beauty for deformity ar gues a depravity of tette hardly to be conceived in this enlightened age. - - - - - - - - - inds :t .

The oden fible caufe for this, it now appear's, is the &Ivy. very made by the 4tiglifb Government of a coo traa having been entered into between thy mer chants of Holland and thofe of America, by which the latter have agreed to become the carriers of or nt tl F e t r i or e nacbbo cargoesup o t r i t . zo no Th e r:4 , board, !hips oaan thus do fp proceeded ec n dh t ti e di t u i m e d r a produce (hipped at Batavia, to be delivered in fr D oe cr u e t ai c vm h e ud their voyage; and the better to fhelter themfehes from deteaion, they touch at an American port, procure a renewal of their hills of lading, by which it is made to appear that the property on board is actually flipped in America, and fir American ac. Count and rifque. It is certain, that the Englifa Government are well acquainted with ' the na mes of the American veffels thus employed , o f the na tiire of their loading, and the particular places or ports to which they are bound ; but fuch a dif covery to his Majefty's (tips, who hive received orders to bring is and detain all American ver• felt bound to the enemy's ports, it is evident, might have defeated the end for which the order was given, ana it, was therefore made general.— Upon this a remosfirance was made on Saturday by the American Amballidor to our Govetnment, when the true motives were fairly explained; in addition to which, it was fitted by Ministers, that uo injury was intended to the trade, that every jua and fair allow ante would be made to Inch Chips as thould appear to be unjualy detaining,, and which fhould be fet at Men! with all poffible expedition ; and that the two veili4 which had been condemned' 1116uld be compenfatei for to their full value, it appearing, that only one Of the wails among ffie number intended to be brought in under the General Orders given to the Englifhcruizas had yet been detained. No plea, in point of juftice, could poffilay be re forted to on the part of the American Arnbeador, in beha f of the Contraaors ; but the inconvenience .to which this Order has naturally reduCed the London American Merchants, determined a Cow mittee from their body to wait, yellerday, o n Mr. 'PITT, with a view to obtain relief from the mans difficulties and inconveniences to which their concerns In trade were reduced, by restfon of the General Order given to Englifh ctuizers, and from the dart tion of American wails, in confequence of that OT. der. The circumlt ances underwent a full and patient hearing. Mr. Pratt allured the Committee, that co an affair of fuch magnitude he did not fed himfelf at liberty to give any reply to them in the Ihape M which their complaints then came before :tins, and ad vifed, that whatever the American Merchants hadto complain of, &NU be teemed to writing. that fair and impartial confideration might be 'a . m . & with all poffible difpatch.
