FRENCH JOURNALS. We have received French papers to the 19th jai. Some of the fubjoined articles eztraaed from there journals feem at firft view to confirm the intelligence received by the Hamburgh Mail, of the Ruffians having evacuated Cattaro, but on examining them it will be found that they are merely a tran(lation from the German papers of the very articles which we have before given from the fame journals. They are not accompanied with any comment in the Me shear, nor does any thing official on the fubjeft ap pear in that paper. The intelligence, therefore, though it may prove corral, flill teas exaaly on the fame ground it did before, and we are yet without any official information on the fubjed. The Moniteur of the 18th is chiefly filled with the proceedings of the Legiflative Body, and contains nothing interefling. PROM THE MCNITPUR or THE 17TH MAY. VIENNA. May 5.—A1l the difficulties which had occurred between France and Aufbia, relative to the occupation of the Doccha di Cattaro, are now ie lnoved ; the Court of St. Peteriburgh having ordered that it ffiould be given up to the French army, con formably to the Treaty of Prefburgh. MAY 7.—The Arnbidrador from the Sublime Porte to the Emperor Napoleon arrived yellerclay in our Capital, and will refume his journey for Paris on the gth inliant. Raousa, APRIL ti.—The Ruffian General Sini• avin, during his flay at Cattaro, folicited the iuhabi• tants to certify in writing that it was themfelves who had invited the Ruffians. The Greek', as might be' expelled, complied, but the Catholics refilled. From the condue of this General we might be led to ima gine that what is done in the Black Sea and the Adri atic, is done without the knowledge of the Cabinet of St. Peterfburgh, and that it is a meafure of the Rulian Agents themfelves, who, as well in negocia6on as in military enterpriles, take advantage of the diflance they may be from the feat of Government to ad ac• Cording to caprice. PROM THE JOURNAL DI L'EMPIRE, MAY IS. CONSTANTINOPLE.

Alter the captut e of the Marengo and the Bell, Pou.e, Admiral Li s•ii s requelled Sir Joww'► permiCfior, to affunble the French Officers, for the purpo(ehe an Irnpiriai itfiet, which he had by him for tome time, and which Materially affetted his and their interefts. The Englifts Ad miral having accordingly talented to this demand, with all that urbanity and politenefs which dillin guith him, the French Officers were got together, to the number of nearly feventy, when the intlru ment in gneflion was read to them by Admiral lartiots. It began by reciting, that h;s Imperial Majefly, Boma AAAAA having had ferious caufe of chagrin and difpleafure at the repeated cheeks and difafters his Naval Force had hitherto experienced in the contcft with England, was determined that it fhould undergo a thorough reform. Then, after many regulations for the better ordering and con dotting his Navy in time of !today with other Powers, and for the excitement of his Sailors to heroic deeds, it concluded by Rating, 0 at, in fa. lure, all Officers of his Navy, who were captured by the Enemy, fhf.uld be, from that moment, re duced to one fourth of their aelual pay. " And you, Gentlemen, therefore," continued LINO'S, "with myfelf, are hereby fo reduced, and mull MI, as well as we can, with the little that remains !" It is not in words to dcfcribe the agitation and murmur which fucceeded this communication. Execrations, deep not loud," were poured out againll the unfeel ing Tyrant who could thus coolly refolve on embit tering the hours of captivity, by reducing at a Ilroke nearly two-thirds of their whole number to lefs than nine pence a day, and who mull thenceforward de pend upon the charity of an enemy for bare fubfif tenet ! Will this abominable proceeding, when it (ball be known in France, be tolerated ? Will any gallant fpirit again fight under the flag of fuch a cold blood ed ceconomill ? All further comment is unneceffary. The fad, we repeat, is Rriflly true; and we (ball only add, what we can fay with pride, that Englith generofity has already been applied to alleviate the calamity of there unfortunate Gentlemen, not brought upon them for a derelielion of duty or principle, but for bravely fighting in the caufe of a Defpot ! ! !

By a Gentleman lately arrived at Charletlon, from Africa, we are informed, that war has raged on the banks of the Senegal for tome time pall, between the natives and the French. The Jaloffs, who inhabit the country between the rivers Senegal and Gambia, are an alive and warlike people. They are divided into feveral clans, and are frequently at war with each other. They are fuppofed to be among the hand fomeft negroes of the wellern coat. The French have had, for many years, a fettlement at the mouth of the river Senegal, from whence they carry on a confiderable trade of flares, gum,&c. The Governor's name is Blanchard. Alimami, the King of the Jaloffs, had impofr•d a certain duty upon all veffels belong ing to the French fadnry which traded up the river. The French evaded this duty. The fraud was deteded by the King, and a war enfued. The French fent a plundering expedition up the river againa the Jaloffs, which returned with a confiderable number of (laves, &c. This emboldened them to make a new attempt, which like wife fuceeeded in obtaining a number of Dave, ; but not fatisfied with this, the Commander landed his men, and marched them into the country. —The Jaloff, furrnunded and butchered nearly the whole ut them. This was a dreadful cataltrophe to the inhabitants of the French colony, for Governor Blanchard had taken from every woman who had two fons one of them for this expedition, and nut f the whole number, not more than two or three' tetortird alive. The war continued when the tall I accounts left the coat of Africa. MARX-LANE. CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 30.

The Hambur;h Mail due on Wednefday had not arrived when this Paper went to pref-, but a Dutch Paper of the :ad init. is Paid to have been received, which (peaks of fome unfavourable news having reached Paris from Naples; but the particulars are not given. An Evening Paper of yefterday makes mention alfo of a private letter from the Hague, which Rates that the elevation of Louis B to the Regal Dignity, by the Ryle and title of" Louts Neeozeow the Fit*, King of Holland." had been publicly an. nounced at Paris; and that his Mijelly would lbortly be proclaimed at the Hague. It is added, that among the firft ads of his reign, would be an order to open the Dutch ports to Britith !hips, freighted with colo nial produce, and prohibiting only Englifh meoufac. tures. Not having fees either the Paper or the Letter above alluded to, we mutt for the prefent fufpend our belief in regard to both there flatements. The title " King of Holland" is nonfenfe, as Hclland is only one of the Seven United Provinces. The unfortunate death of M. Mofment, who lately fell from a balloon in France, has produced the fol lowing obfervations from Garnerin, the famous aero naut :—" It teems that the misfortune which hap pened to M. Mofment did not refult from any of the inconveniences which are connei.ted with aeroftatic attentions, but merely from want of prudence. The car in which he attended was too (hallow ; the cords by which it was attached to the balloon were too far apart ; and it is probable, that when M. Morment was leaning over to let an animal drop in a parachute, that he 101 l his balance, and was precipitated to the earth. If the accidents which have happened from balloons are inveftigated, it will be teen that , they have in general proceeded from the imprudence of the aeronauts themfelves. Every one forefaw when the Monvoyere was attached to a balloon, filled with inflammable gas, the danger to which Pilatre Du Roller was eel:soled.

LaR week, as Mr. George Hogg, of Hazon, neat Felton, was returning from Morpeth market, along with his brother and fume other farmers, he had oc cation to flop a little upon the road, while the reft of the company proceeded forwards. From the great fall of rain on that day, it was inferred by the corn. pany that Hazon Bourn would be dangerous to pals, :and they therefore went round by the bridge, but Mr. Hogg not fufpeding that his friends had taken that precaution, attempted the ford, and unfortn n.t:ely perithed. The honk having come home with. out his rider, every pollible fearch was made for him, without effed, and his body was not found till next day, at about a mile ditiant from the (pot where he fell in. Yeilerday the body of a feafaring man was taken up, drowned, off King Edward's Stairs, Wapping, and conveyed to the bonehoufe.
