FR/INCE. PARIS, OCTOBER 3E. Accounts from Corfu, of the 23d nit. Rate, that the Engin frig..te the EDGAR, Capt. ELLIER, ar rived on the 22d with dispatches for Admiral NFL sox. which were i:omcdiAtely forwarded to him at Malta. On the paillsge, the frigate fell in with a veffel from Idria, laden with corn for France. The rnaaer of this v etrel having refolved not to be vifited, f.ught the frigate and was killed. The veifel was ,• fag into Malt .I.—.lloniktir. A few days ago there was a urand airemblage at ' Quimper, in the department of 4 Finiilei re, of all the foldiers in that quarter who had received arms of h roar, for the putpife of adrninitlering to them ihc oath prefcribed by the law of the t9th of May, 1'602, on their being admitted Members of the Legion of Honour. The ceremony commenced with the fol loNing addrefs from the Prefident of Governm.mt for ' that department : Bitrivr SOLDIERS—" Arms of honour are, to foi l' diers of every rank, a brevet of admilTion into the Legion of honour ; and from this day you are to par ticipate in all the advantages belonging to that intii• tution. How glorious for each and all of you, hrave --foldiers, to be able to fay, in placing yourfelvcs un ' der the ftandard of this Legion, the rank which. I occupy is the reward of my vainur.' Enter, there- fore, with a due pride, in the new career which opens an you ; but learn that it impoiLs on you new duties. Each Member of the Legion engages, by a new oath, wholly to devote himfell to the fervice of the Repub. lie, to preferve its territory entire, to defend the Go vernment, the laws, and the property which they protect. He engages to combat, with the ftrong arm of jultice and of reafon, every attempt made to revive the feudal fyftem, and the frivolous titles by which it was fupported. Who among you but burns to take fuch an oath ? It is your own work t h at you (wear to defend. The head of the Government, which you are about to fwear to defend, is the hero who never took the command of you but to lead you to viaory. It is he, who, in a fingle breath, min gnifhed the flames of civil war which defolated our habitations. Before him difappeared every faaion, with the fpirit of hatred, of fury, 4n4 of difeord, which gave them nourifhment. It is he who healed up the deep and painful wounds which were (kill open at the period when he alfumed the reins of em pire. He is the protalor of the arts, the friend of the fciences, the reflorer of morals and that religion which purifies them. An invincible warrior, an able pacificator, a fublime flatefman ! It is he, it is NA POLEON! BONAPARTE, who, by railing France from the abyfs into which the was plunged to the highefl degree of glory, has ftruck all Europe with allonifh snent and admiration. What Frenchman but would therifh the author of fo many benefits? Who amongft us, who among you, brave warriors of the different armies, but would facrifice his own life to prolong a life fo intimately connefled with the public profpe. A nation jealous, and paying no refpea to the law of nations or the faith of treaties, has violated, by a fudden aggreffion, the ties of that peace which (he bad (worn to mantain. Grieved at the Wire which furrounds the Deliverer of France, proud of her float ing ramparts, and the barrier of the lea which fepa- Tates us, the thought (be might commit every infult and every ad of audacity. She (hall be punifhed ; a fecond Carthage, (he than be fubdued within her own walls. Bo AAAAA Ts will not have armed in vain, and his high deftinies affure you of new triumphs.— Yes, you than again fee him at your head, and you will (wear with the noble confidence of the Roman Legions commanded by Kraut's, not to conquer or die, but that you will return vidorious." The oath was then adminiftered, and a certificate of the fad being delivered to each of the new Mem bers of the Legion, the Affembly difperfed amidft ex clamations, rrue to Republique! rive BONAPARTE! • 1 1 1 • • I . i • I I i t 1 lit f FROM THE PARIS PAPERS. Toms, Sir Timm t.—We have feldom teen fo much activity in our harbour as during the lall two months. This circumflance has principally arifen from the departure and return of a great number of the Corfairs belonging to the Regency ; but has been confiderably increafed by the French privateers, who carry in here the Englifh prizes which they make in this quarter. Among the prizes brought in by the Tunifians, in the month of July, were two Neapoli tan veffele, laden with wine, which arrived on the loth of that month. They had on board about 20 paffengtrs, who were made flaves. On the 19th of the fame month, four of the largell Corfairs came in from a cruise on the Italian coati. When in the bay of Ancona, a part of their crews landed, and carried off eight foldiers who guarded a (mall Pontifical fort, with two pieces of artillery. The detachment then penetrated into the interior to the diflance of three leagues from the coati, and increafed the number of their prifoners of both fens to one hundred and twenty-three perfons. A fintilar defcent was made by the fame Corfairs on Saint Pierre, off Sardinia, and nn this. oecafion they made twenty prifoners.— A lets triumphant entrance was made two days after by a Tunifian galliot, which had her Captain killed, a great number of her crew wounded, and her rigging cm to pieces, in a f (lion with a Portuguese frigate. Two French privateers, fitted out at Leg horn, brought in here, on the z3d of July, an Englifh villa laden with fah, and fold here for t a,OOO dollars. Another French privateer brought in on the 7th of AuguG, two Englith brigs, which foand a purchatcr in HAGI jollls, the Dey's Miniller. One of them laden with faltpetre, fold for 20.000, and the other with a cargo of Sicilian chtefe, for 14,000 dollars.— This traffic, however, has excited remontirances on the part o' the Engliffi. On the 14th of Augua there appeared in the Roads a Britilh man of war, the Cavan!' of which had orders to complain to the Regency. that the French privateers were permitted to bring in and fell their prizes in this port. The Englifh Officer received for anfwer, " That the pri. vateers of his nation Ihould find at Tunis the fame protelCon and the fame advantages." The relation, between Tunis and Spain are !till uncertain. The Do , perfifis in his determination of makino t:14: Power purchale his triendthip by a tribute, WiliCh is t sought too confiderahle.

The Fiasr CONSUL had not then fet out, but was expeCted to proceed to/on:apart of the codlin a day or two. Dirpatches were received laft night from Sir SYD r y SMlTH,c linic ar.-ival at Yas mouth we announced yefier,i.ty. They relate to the preparations of the cir:my in the ports of Holland, where the troops can be fern by our !Lips praaiiing embaikation and lamliog, as on the French coall. Sir Sylmar hai captured one of the boats, which was taken in tow by the A rsr.op ; but a ftrong gale coming on, and the boat having loft her mall, he was relatantly compelled to let her drift. The abuvc difpatches are of confiderable import ance. They were brought by Sir S. SMITH'S own Secretary to the Admiralty and other Offices. Ac cording to thefe difpatches, the enemy's preparations for the invafiun of this country are in fuch a (late of forwardnefs, in Holland, that Sir SYDNEY believes an attempt of Tome kind will certainly be made in a very few days; and his opinion is formed on the beft information that could poffihly be obtained—that is on goad information, for this Officer knows how to procure it. Difpatches of a late date were alto received laft night from Admiral CORNWALLIS. All was well— the crews of the Chips under his command all in high fpirits, and impatient to meet the enemy's force, which, however, had not made any attempt to get out of Breit, when thefe advices came away. We announce with much pleafure, that a greater hurtle prevails in the Admiralty and Navy Office De- partments at the prefent moment, than has been ob fervable fince the commencement of the war. Difpatelies were thii day received from Commo• dote Hoot) in the Weft Indies. The particulars have not tranfpired. The French gun boat carried into Deal is a very ill conflruCted veffcl, and has been the fubje& of much merriment to the Tars who have teen It is abfolutely impoflible to defcribe the fallies of wit and outré fymbolical expreflion, made ufe of on the occafion, by thefe eccentric Eons of Neptune. Indeed, confidered as a fpecimen of the craft which compote the French armada, it is not eafy to con ceive any thing more contemptible. Even the French failors themfelves could hardly maintain their gra. vity, when our Tars were indulging in merriment at the expence of the cock boat. It will be feen by our Deal letter, that Bowapaara was at Boulogne on Tuefclay lan : at leak fo fay the people who were taken on board the above boat.— If fo, he mull have quitted St. Cloud after the date of the French Journals above mentioned. This day we lay before our Readers the letters which reached us yefterday by the Liibon Mail. On the fubjed of the yellow fever, which has broken out at Malaga, we truft we need fay little to induce Mi nifters to adopt the fame wife precautions refpeeting veffels from that, quarter which they have ordered to be enforced with thofe from New York. We fee by our Plymouth letter, that a vcffel from Malaga has put in there in difireft--we hope of a different kind from infeetion. GIBRALTAR, OCTOBER a. " We are Rill in fufpence about a Spani(h war, though we daily expee it, and we hear from Madrid that the ultimatum of the Britifh Court had been received there. The forbearance of England Awards Spain has been molt impolitic and ruinous : we have fuffered all the bad effeßs that the enmity of Spain could have accomplilled, and have reaped no advan tages in return : an immenfe treafure, that would have enriched our gallant navy. will be now in part aftively employed in paying thole troops defined for the invafion of England. The Spaniards are now reinforcing the garrifons of their lea port towns, and fitting ntit fume line of battle (Lips at Carthagena. " The Americans have not yet made up their dif ference with the Moors, and it is fuppofed they will not without paying very handfomely. The Emperor was to arrive at Tangier this morning. " By accounts from Malta, in t 5 days, we learn that the Marnelukes have completely defeated and driven the Turks out of the whole of Upper and Lower Egypt, except Alexandria, which was the only place left in their poffeflion ; and which, it was fuppoled. they would Ihortly be obliged to evacuate. The lame intelligence is confirmed by a velfel direet from Alexandria in forty days. OCTOIIII 12. I am Corry to inform you that the yellow fever has broke out at Malaga, with loch alarming fymp toms, that a public proclamation hat bc:zn dined yet - . terJay to put a flop to all communication between ^hi► place and Spain by land, nr from any place by e.l ii!U4tCd betv.etn the bay of Cadiz and Almeria. Thi, horrible calamity has been brought to Ma -11;.1 by wn French tra.ilp.ots ulll,ll put in there from St. Domingo fo.rie ,ime ago w:lh the diforde: uu board. Scra al vdila artircd here front Malaga yeflerday with the diforder raging on board cif them but they were all forced to quit the bay immediately, except one Danifh brig, the Bonaparte, from Malaga to Lubeck, which was in fo miferable a [late, the whole crew, except two, being dead, or confined with the fever and black vomiting, that they were unable to get under weigh without help after coming to anchor, which it was impollible to afford them, and the is now lying dole to the New Mole. " A French (loop of war the Halcyon, lately cap tured by Lord NELSON, arrived here yellerday even ing, in ten days from our fleet off Toulon. The fquadron was all well, It would appear that great dilaffeEtion mull prevail among:l the French army in that neighbourhood, at two frigates, crouded it% difaffated troops, had made their eleape from Tou lon, and had arrived at Calvi, in the Itland of Corfica, where they were difembarked. OCTOBER 1 3. "Ten French prifoners from the prifori.fhip,induced by the promife of a large reward and their liberty, volunteered to go on board the Bonaparte, and to navigate her to her deftination, and tarried her out of the bay yefterday evening." MALAGA, OCTOBER 9. " For there three weeks palt, a very pellilential fever has prevailed in one quarter of the fuburbs, near the river fide ; a great number dying daily, till the late heavy rains put a flop to the mortality, in come degree, and not above four in a day have died within there three !ail days. All communication has been cut off as much as polllble with the infeEted quarter, and the diforder has not yet gut into the city, though a number of families have fled from the town in con fequence. The contagion is believed to have pro ceeded from two French tranfports from Martinique, which had the yellow fever on board before their ar rival here." CADIZ, OCTOBER H. " Our fliort.fighted politicians here begin to find out that they have been impofed upon. They per fuaded themfelves that they had purchafed permiffion from BONAPARTI to be neutral, and a good pike it cal them. As to Britain, they have already expe rienced Co much kindnefs and forbearance from you, that they had no fear of your taking umbrage at a few dollars being fent to France ! Now they find that frefh demands are making every day by the French Government, which is as Pure, and more fa, of receiving all the treafure lately imported from America, as if it had been configned at &It to Bull or Toulon. .4 When the money is all carried away, we cape& to be forced into the war without the means to carry it on." LISBON, OCTOBER as. " This country has purchafed a little refpite from war, but it has paid France well for it. The bullion paid to the nary Colraiut within there five months amounts to hrunity miaow erruzadoer (upwards of two millions Britifh). I have this from a fource which could not be mifinformed. Thus our Hate may be confidered as completely ruined, for now we are with out the means of prefenting any oppofition to the future claims of France, however unreafonable they may be. Specie has alma wholly gone out of the kingdom. " In fail, we have been completely duped. At the prefent feafon, the French could not have undertaken any expedition againli us; and when next rummer (hall arrive, it will be feen, that all that has been given them is not enough to prevent their demanding more, or invading us for the double purpofe of ex torting wealth from us, and ruining your commerce."
