OCTGISIII 7.—A fubfcription is opened here for the widow and orphan family of M. Palm. Szoczeozn, StPT. s6—The Queen Dowager arrived here yeQerday, in the afternoon, and we fist ter outlaws' with loon having our King within our walls. The journey of his Majeßy to Bekalkog, frem the time he landed in Bonne, was fo expedi tious, that he would not wait for a convenient and snore fuitable carriage, but fet out M one of the corn mon carriages of the country. The furprize and jny of her Majelly the Q2een was, however, incteafed by this circumilance. A good patriot has been fo enchanted with the happy return of the King to Sweden, that he has ex prated his joy, by giving moo crowns to the Hofpital of Invalids of F,ederica Dorothea Wilhelinina. Sim 16.—An Englifh Officer arrived here on the 24th. After having had an audience, and dined with the King, he left the town.

ST. Parse slue° it, Sur. 2o.—The objet l of fend ing the late Ernbaffy to China was, to renew a good underflanding between the two Courts, and to adju4 a plan for the advancement of commerce, mutually advantageous to both nations. A mifunderlianding, which occurred upon the Chinefe frontier,' prevented the Embafry from proceeding, and rendered it necef- City in wait f.r an explariati..n. However, the trade from Keach•a was contiaued wi.hout interruption, and the Court of Ruflia received reiterated proofs Ova , the Chinee Oovernment 'till remained unchange ably attached to their friendly fentiments. The af feflionate reception experienced by two Ruffian (hips, which have lately returned from Canton, is a frelh proof of this. Their confederations having rendered any further explanation unneceffary, it has been thought proper to recal the Amhaffador, Count Go. lowkrh, and the whole of his fuite.—Ceort Gazegle. Si prostate 24 —On the t 7th Counts Soltikovr and Stroganoff waited on the Emperor, with the Addicts •oted by the Senate, in approbation of his Majellv's Manila°, dated the 3oth of Augull, old flyle.

Posits. SIPT. 18.—We meet with the following article in one of our journals We remark, at prefent, that there is a firm% and enthufiaßic love for the Praffian foldiers in South Prnffia, which does ho nour to the nation. The troops which pals through this province, are received with extraordinary atten tion. The following trait of patriotifm deferves to be mentioned :—A nobleman of South Praia, whole modefly will ant permit us to name him, gives to twenty two of his fohjeas, who are fusing with the brave army of Frederick William, a P.:l4h florin a. day, while they mall (erre againfl the enemies of their country."

Under the prefent cumflances, however, the Pruflian Poll-mailer at Eifenach thought proper to regnefk him to return. The reigning Duke of Brunfwick was fill at Erfurt on the 4'h.

TPA •ST E, Si. PT. 4.—On the soth of July, about tiro in the afternoon, we perceived at Palma Nuova, in Aufirian Friaul, a vaR cloud, inclofing a column dftre, and in which feversl bodies teemed to be agi tated with great rapidity. This column, between Soo nod 6 0 0 feet in height, descended to ie earth. Its dive lien was from the South-well to the North. In die tnidfl 'of a ouife fienilat to the waves of the sea, •c i l i sps of thunder were alternately beard s leaves and branches of trees, lime, masses ()funk fragments of /one, and even urge pities of tinsbe, fell upon the rupparts, and in the firms. This city feemed to be tlueatened with total ruin. The inhabitants quitted th,it houfes in difi rder. and fled towards the later. where they contemplated the cloud that approached them with amixture of curio6ty and hcrtur. In the enorfe of half an hour it reached the covered wayjo the fottrefs, and came in coma& with a haltmoon, where, breaking, it difcharged its 'whole contents. A very heavy rain falling at the time difperfed the column and the cloud ; when the 'people preffing forward, they found a hcufe upon the road to Udina without a 104. doors, or windnwstwhile trees, torn up by the roots. marked the courfe which the hurricane bad taken.. Two barracks. three Rally !so feet in latigth, were crated near the fortifications ; but the tiorktnen and fuldiers fated themfalves by a fpeedy flight. • The (pox where the cloud defcended was co• wired to the extent of too toile' on each fide, with pieces of wood; *one, lime, and tiles.

C.ag. for arc. 641 - - It was reported yellerday, after our Paper was at Preis, that Prince MULAT, with 30,000 men, had been furrounded by the Pruffians, and completely• rooted, with very great (laughter. This report on ginated with a neutral Captain, who brought the news to the Long Room at the Cullom-Houfe. He Paid, that he failed from Varel, in Friezeland, on Sunday afternoon lan ; and, before his departure, intelligence had arrived there to the purport above Rated. This was not all—he affirmed that be heard a paper read ■t that place, giving a detail of the circumfiances.— The truth of the Ratemeat being doubted, the neutral Captain, whole name was YOUNG, became enraged at the doubts entertained of his veracity, and offered to verify what he had Rated upon oath.—This intel• ligenee having become public, the Pruffian and Swe difh (hips in the River fired guns, and gate other de. monarations of joy. Thee proceedings gave en air of truth to the ilatement, and the intelligence was generally believed. DUTCH AND FRENCH JOURNALS Have been receive, the latter to the 11th inflant inclulive, the former to the date of Wcdnefday laft. Theft papers are filent refpeflirig the defeat of Muliar's army, as are silo private letters of the lath from feyden. We cannot, therefore, credit the in telligence, for had fuch an event taken place, it mull lhave been known in Holland before it could reach lVarel. Some of the Dutch papers, however, conntenanre the general rumour that Come (kir:l6(l3es had aflually taken place between the out polls of the French and Proffian armies. The Dordrecht Courant, of Tucfday lafl, mentions the Sth inflant as the day on which this event took place ; but the Steeds Coorant, of the following day, takes no notice of fuch a circumflance. This filence, is, however, no proof that hoftiltties have not commenced, and we muff wait for farther accounts. One of the Dutch papers Rates, that Pro& had formally declared war againft France; but, from the dates given, we think the of ertion is founded in a millake. We Bated yeflerday that an animating pamphlet had been circulated among the Pinffian foldiers calling upon them to preferve their antient glory—this we take to Le the publication which the Dutch Journals have converted into a War Manifeflo, It is remarkable that the Minor Paris papers up to Saturday laft had not mentioned the departure of Lord Lavutanats.—The Moniteur of that data has not yet come to hand. They arc equally Pent re-' Fpcaing the late attack upon Boulogne. PROM TRZ DUTCH PAPERS. MUNSTIA, OCTOBER z I. It is afferted here, that the French Arnbaffador left Verlin.ou tho stb, and the the Berlin Court Courant of the yth contains a War Manife(o, compofed by IdvILSR, the celebrated Swifs. The Courant of that day. however, not having come to hand, we cannot infill upon the truth of thitaikrtion. The die is now cat !—According to a letter from Caffel of the 9th, a PtufGan Field Yager bad arrived there An the preceding night, with di; important intelligence, that the Pruifians bad squally declared war again(! France ; and that Come ikirmithes hid already taken place between the advanced polls, in which the Pruffians reckon to have had the advantage. The neutrality of Heffc is faid to have been admitted on she part or France ; and the Commandant of Hannau is laid to have received a letter from Mar. Ural Auc sa sA u, Airing him that the French troops have received orders to avoid the HefEan territory is much as poflible. CARL SRUHE, OCTOBER 4. His Royal Highnefs the Hereditary Grand Duke fet out this afternoon for the head-quarters of Napo leon the Great. MENTZ, OCTOBER 6. Her Majefty the Emprcfs is fill here. General Knobelfdorf, Envoy Extraordinary and Plenipoten tiary, from his Pruiian Majefty, arrived here to-day from Paris. It is dill hoped, that war will not break out between France and Proffitt. Marfhal Mortices corps, we are allured, will take a potation upon the Lower Rhine. The National Guard is put in motion in All the Departments yooct of there guards are ambled here. HAGUE, OCTOBER 14• A number of the grenadiers of the guard who had remained behind, have left this place this morning for the camp at Zeyft, in order to rejoin their bat- talions. ROTTERDAM, OCTOBFR TI. General Mendel' is arrived at Groningen, to take the command of the troops in that quarter t fince which there has been a good deal of movement among them. Delfzyl and Coeverden are Paid to have been provided with necefraries of every kind for defence. Bourrange and the New Schans are in a manner abandoned, while the troops are engaged in working upon the batteries of Groningen. DL'SSELDORF, OCTOBER IL Yeflerday his Majefly the King of Holland arrived at Weld. It is laid that the French and Dutch troops are to pals the Rhine near Duifburg. NIMEGLIF.N, OCTOBER to. They write from Weilphalia, that the ad need guard of the Dutch army, confilling of 7000 men, under General Michaud, Hill remains near NVezel.— Detachment. of troops arrive there daily, and !Owe of them are in motion to proceed up the Rhine. FRANKFORT. OCTOBER. 6. The contingents of the Princes who form the Confederation of the Rhine, have begun toput them• (elves in motion. Thofe of their Royal Highneffes the Grand Dukes of Darmfladt and Naffau are in full march. BAMBERO, OCTOBER s. Prince Murat, who arrived here on the 3d inflant, yelk►day reviewed his troops ; and this day, his Ex cellency Martha' DATOUST will review the corps under his command. His Majefty the Emperor or the French is expelled here every moment. OCT. 6.—The French and Prulfian troops are only feparated at prefent by the rivers Mein and Peignitz. The advanced polls of both armies are fu near as to converk with each other. WURTZEURO, OCTOBER 4. His Royal Highuefs the Eledor of Hare, upon his return from the PrulEan head quarters, has vifited thole of his Majefty in this city. OCT. 6.—The day before yefterday difpatchu were received from the head quarters of the Pruflian army. and yefterday his Majefly left this place for Bamberg, where his head quarters will be fixed. This latter circumflance, which appears to have been a entire quence of the &ft, has in a great meafure excluded the hopes of peace that have hitherto been eherilhed. Only a (mall part of the Military Admmiaratioas remain in this city. In proportion as the French troops advance to the EaAward, the Pi ufflans reinforce their corps of the army near Hoff. The advanced guard of the PrulLan army, Rationed in the environs of Culmbach, is mated at to,ooo men, and other troops arc flill oq the march to join them, which is only attributed to their view of better fecuring a larger extent of the country, where the dißance between the French army and Berlin is the lean confiderable. We learn that I °moo of the troop. of Wurtemberg and Baden are affernbling near Dunklepuhl, in order to march for Franconia. HAMBUROH, OCTOBER 7. With refpea to the Ruffians we are fill in uncer• tainty ; three large armies are fill talked of, that are on the match through Warfaw, Koningtherg, &c. ; but as yet we have no pofitive information that they have arrived in thefe places. According to a public rumour, General Moreau has arrived at Lifson; another report Pays, that Msrfhal Maffena has fallen into the hands of the in furgents of Calabria, who have murdered bias; but thee rumours deferve no credit. The Swedes begin to withdraw farther and farther from this country, and to form a line of abfezvation behind the tight bank of the Elbe. NAPLES, SEPT. ss. A reinforcement of t 6,000 French troops has ;ar rived in this kingdom. Six thoufand have taken the road of La Pouille, to preferve the coal of the Adri• atic from any attempt : and the remainder marches to the capital, from whence it is to purfue its route to Calabria. This reinforcement brings a mortal blow to the malcontents, if they could have entertain. ed a hope of putting their fanguinary projeas in ex. ecution. The works arc purfued with vigour in the ducks of Cadel le Mare : they have already launched thirty gun boats, of a new and excellent contlruelion. The 15th of this month they endeavoured to land at Vietry ILO hundred brigands. Thirty remained dead on the Thore, and five were taken alive by a French detachment in that quarter. The Englids, being no logger able to lumina fubfidence to all the brigands who• have thrown thensfelvee under th e i r proteaion, leek to get lid of them at any pace, and force them with the bayonet to let themfelves be , landed wherever they choofi to throw them, FROM THE FRENCH PAPERS. PARIS, OCTOBER 9. Letters from Germany announce, that the King of Praia is waiting in vain for the (moors promifed by Ruffla. to meet the florin which he hu fo impro‘ dently called down upon his States. That ambitious Power has directed its greateft force in an oppofite quarter. It is Turkey that it appears to menace.—... It is falfe that any Ruffian corps has yet entered into South Prut La. (Free', tbe .boor.) 4 ' The Englifts Journals of the loth of September announce, that his Britannic Majefty has jult ordered the railing of the blockade from the Elbe to the Ems. This meafure proves that Prufna has definitively en tered into the interefts of England. Upon this (up. potation the queftion occurs, what is to be the fate of Hanover t Will the King of PrulLa be difpnfed to give it back, after having formally annexed it to his dominions I It would be very ftrange, if he Mould purchafe by the lots of one province a war which may caufe him to loft all his other provinces. It is eafy to fee what France may take from him, but it is not eafy te fee what England can give him as compen. fat ion. " In following the movements of the armies on the Continent, one fees hoftilities every day more near s 4 4 The lall news from the Banks of the Main in• form us, that the corps of General Kalkreuth, which was to have moved towards Wellphalia, has all of a fudden direiled its march to the South, to follow the movements of the grand army. In general, without pretending to decide on the merit of military opera. tions, we think we already fee in thole counter. I marches of the Prulfian army, a fpirit of uncertainty, a want of fixed plan, w'iich is an evident figs of the terror that is infpired by the rapid march of the French troops, under a Chief, who, without fighting, has already gained the advantage of giving the wee 1 the dire&ion that he pirates it their take, 44 The tottering courage of the hallows is fop. ported by the hopes of being foccoured by the Rof. flans. But the hill campaign has proved that their foccours are neither very prompt, or efficacious: they were, however, at that time, more formidable, both in rye/ force and in military reputation. On the other hand, they (peak of diverfions that the Ruffians are about to make in the Turkith provinces. Thefe diverfions, which prefent no manner of fecurity to Pruffia, will perhaps diftlofe the ferret caufe of the non-ratification of the treaty concluded by M. D'Our bra. It will be fees that thole negotiations bad no other obfeet but to deceive Trance. But the proms,* titude with which the places herfelf in a condition to anfwer her enemies, p_roys alas that the is not a dupe of their intentions.* .7.11.; Tt • GOTTENBURGII MAIL.
