By this cenveyanee we have received letters from Lifbon, Malaga, Cadiz, and Gibraltar, from which we can only however prefent this day a few fhort extraels. They confirm the accounts we gave yeflerday of the yellow fever having broken out in Spain. It was carried into Malaga by two French tranfports from Martinique. In confcquence of this fever having made its ap. pearanee, orders have been iffued at Gibraltar to prevent all communication with Spain by land. A French floop of war, the Halcyon, has been cap tured by Lord Netsow. The fleet under his Lord fhip was all well on the ad of Oflober, off Toulon. A report was circulated yefterday at the Stock Exchange before the clofe of the market, that the Brea fleet had put to fea. It received but little ere. dit ; and we can affert that no fuch intelligence has yet reached the Admiralty.

RAINSGATI, NOV. 8. ig By an officer who was prelent in the late attack nude on the French gun boats at Boulogne, we have been favoured with the following particulars : The Biitifh force, confining of the RAISONABL s of 64 guns, tke LIDA and Immotrairrr frigates, the Atcuee and Loeusr gun brigs, and the COUNTF3B of EL cos armed cutter, went into Boulogne Bay on Sun day IA at flood tide, and pallid the batteries, under which 84 gunboats cads . carrying a 24 pounder were moored together, with fprings on their cables, and, prefenting their bows, formed a moli s formidable bat• eery. In this firuation our (hips palled the line of boats four tin:,es, fuceeffively keeping up a continued and well diten,d fire, which according to every ap. pc uara.c. did ccalidczablc damage to !heir mans and - !rigging. The firing on both fides eels moil tre• mendous. The gun boats were powerfully fop potted by the im:nenfe batteries of guns and mortars which have been conarueled in th moll advantageous petitions on the coati, many of the (hot and shells hem which paired over our veffels in every direflion. The greater part of them went a great way beyond our fquadron ; loch of them as took drat fell among the rigOng ; few.of them (truck the hulls of our yards, and notwithflanding the prodigious num ber fired, few of the men were injured by them. The IMMORTALITI was. the principal fufferer, having had her foremall fhot away, and feveral men killed and wounded. This feems to be the principal lots on our fide. In regard to the lofs of the enemy, it cannot yet be afcertained ; but there is reafon to think that it mull have been confiderable, as their beats were expofed to the fire of our fquadron, which was maintained with great fpirit and energy." FRENCH JOURNALS. We have received Paris journals to the 3oth No mention is made in thefe Journals of the FLIST CONSUL having quitted Paris fo late as the nth ult. —The following letter, and the fubjoined qtrads, are the only articles worthy of notice in the papers that have reached us: PARIS, Ocr. 29.—1 t is faid that the Hereditary Pittacs of Wvarsmsulto will fhortly enter into the fervice of France. Vice-Admiral LATOUCNI Teri/mut is arrived at Marfeilles, from St. Domingo, which place he quit ted on account of a very ferious illnefs with which he was attacked in that colony. Le Bracque, on board which veffel he took his paittge, is now per forming quarantine. At his departure, on the a6th Thermidor laft (Auguft 14), the greateft tranquillity reigned at Cape Francois. Of a Letter fll3lll Citizen ROCIIAMatAU, Genera{ in Chief of the Army of St. Domingo, dated from Cape iganris Meflidor, year It (July S•) 4 , We began hoftilities here on the 213th of June: la Pourfuivante, Captain WlLLoossy, had an en ; gagement with five Englith nails, under the Mole, which latled for three hours. She then re turned into port, after having very roughly handled one of her opponents, although the was herfelf very ill manned. I fhall, neverthelefs, fend her out again in five days. Our pinion is far from being a plea (ant one, but there is (till fume merit in defending a ravaged colony againft a civil war on one fide, and a foreign enemy on the other." The Maritime Prefect of Rochfort has juft pub- Used inttruftions refpe&ing the fervice of the coaQ, according to which no merchantman is to be allowed to fail, without being convoyed by an General Lasveßolll. Aid-de-Camp to the Plass. CONSUL, is appointed to protat the coaft from Brett to Concale. General Seaarrtaxi is appointed to infpeft the coaft from the mouth of the Vilaine to Bra. General Mat.tiss, commanding the department of la Dyle, has jet been appointed by Government to command a divifion of the Army of England. It is likewife thought that Gen. BILLIARD, Commandant of the sath Military Divifion, who has ferved many campaigns in Italy and Egypt tinder Bosaraare, will be employed by him in the expedition. At`the review which took place on Sunday latt, the Turkifh AmbalTador prefented to the Flaw,. Com sut., in name of the Sublime Porte, two bnitta very magnificently caparifoned. One of them, although not well formed, is an animal of molt aftonifhing vigour aad ftrength. The equerry, who prefented it, hav ing got on its back, was at fiat thrown out of his faddle ; but at length fucceeded in curbing it.— The other horfe, on the contrary, is highly remarka ble for the elegance of its make, and the grace of its motions. Letters from Weflphalia Rate, that the PrulTran army is to be augmented by 20,000 men, in light ca valry, borfe artillery, light dragoons, and infantry, at the commencement of the new year. It appears by letters from Compiegne, that the camp nnw forming near that city, will only be com• poled of a certain number of regiments of Dragoons' of whom many are already arrived. General Baia- GOAT d'Htccsaas has taken the command of the ad divifion of Dragoons, compofed of the 31, sth, Bth, gth, 15th, 16th, and 17th Regiments. which are cantnned at Chantilly, Villers Cotterets, Compiegne, and its neighbourhood. On the x 0 Vspdemiaire (04t. ts),thatGeneral reviewed the sth, sith, and t yth regi menu: they were on foot armed with mufkets, and prelented a coup d'oril foil as grand as the fineft in fantry. The sth, commanded by Colonel Louis BOII•PARTI,waa particularly remarked for its beauty and excellent difcipline. By letters from Manheim we learn, that Baron Ter trout"- is again exerting himfelf to regain his an cient influence at the Court of Vienna, but it is nr.t expeCed that he will prove fuccefiful, fence the party which combats the fyllem of the Ex•Minifter, who is entirely devoted to the intereßs of England, is too numerous, and that Prince CHARLIS, who is at the head of it, has. at the prefent moment, the moR fa hoary influence over all the determinations of the Cabinet of Vienna. This Prince has again given his opinion in the Council of State, with the utmoft energy, in favour of that pacific and neutral &Rem, adopted for there two years paft, by the Aullrian Go‘'e nmcht. FUNER,9L OF SIR LIONEL DARELL. • DtITCH JOURNALS have aVo•cpme to hand to the ill inflant, which pre• feat the following articles : Ham, OCT. 24.—A battalion of the gth Light Infantry is jail arrived here from Piris, to form part of the embarkation which daily takes place. There are now but few troops remaining, the toth Light Infantry are nearly all on board. The Englifh continue to thew themfelves t on this 3oth, five yards were in fight of this port ; they are afraid to draw near, becaufe they know we have it in our power to make them (beer off; they only re main there to blockade and prevent any neutral ref felt coming in and going out. Hacus, Nov. z.—Under favour of the fog, the Englifh renewed their attempts, on Saturday morn ing lal, to make themfelves mafters of our fifhing fchnyts. A (hip of war, which, during the priced• ing night, had approached the ftrand, put out feveral armed boats; and thefe, elofe in with the fhore, watched the going out of the fmall boats with which our fifhermen in fine weather have endeavoured to earn a livelihood ever fince the pinks have been drag ged on the ftrand. .Four or five of thefe little veffels fell thus unfortunately into the enemy's hands. They had even the audacity, between eight and nine o'clock, when the weather cleared up, to carry away one of thefe which the fifhermen had run upon the ftrand, tile poor men having juft time enough to rave themfelves and theft; fails in the Downs. Another Piing boat was taken about eleven o'clock * at fea, between Catwyk and Schevening.-- The people of the Englifh (loops were armed with bluaderbuffes ; and they kept np an inc.effant fire on the fithing boats, in order to compel them to funen. der. The (hip of war, which appeared to be a fri gate, had anchored off Catwyk, where the lay the whole day. On a fignal of the impending danger being made, a waggon, in which two large Dutch flags were difplayed, was difpatched from Scheven ing* to give the alarm to fuch filhermen who might be at fea, and ignorant of the enemy's motions.
