FRANCE. PARIS, AUGUST is. The FIRST Cot.sut. gathered exalt information when at B7ull - els, refpefting the capitals which the inhabitants of Belgium had lodged in the Englifh Funds. He engaged the merchants to withdraw their capitals as Ipectlily as poffible, giving them to underfiand, that there was no longer any reliance to be placed on the (lability of the Britifh Funds. The arrival of the divifion of Admiral Btoou at Corunna is confirmed. This divifion has taken an Engin corvette richly laden, which was on her way to Bengal. The Gazette of Sweden announces, that all the Swedilh veffels taken by the Englifh (ince the war have been releafed. The Government has taken under its proteelion a number of Englah females, from nine to t 8 years of age, who were at a boarding fchonl near Rouen, kept by Engli(h women, who abandoned thefe young per (one under circumfianees which have doubly entitled them to their care. The Faits,. CONS ET t. has ordered two beautiful robes of lace, of the manufatiory of 14111111 s, one of which is dellined ter the Emprefs of Ruda, the other for the Qr_reen of Spain. Works of a fimilar nature are alfo in hand, detlined as prefents for force of the reigning families of Europe. The Flour CoNstrt. has given his fanttion to fen rel plans, formerly foggelled to the Adtrian Govern ment, for eztendi.ig the circumference of the city of Broil - els. A fuperb gate is alfo to be crated op psfite the Alice Verte, which is to be called the gate Napolecn, in commemoration of the tint of the Fits C 0111111... Several (Meeks and other (mall veWels that carried on trade between Bruffels and Holland, by means of the canal that conneas that city with the Northern Sea, have lately been taken up on the account of Government, who will indemnify the owners for the time t' ey may be emp'oyed in the public fervice. A Ernil4r meafure is expelted to be adopted in the other ports. _ _ An Eni/lifh Lady of dillin4lion, who for fix months has lived in the greateft intimacy with the fill fa milies at Mentz, has been taken up by the police as a fulpelted petfon, and fent to the Right Bank of the Rhine. FROM THE PARIS PAPERS. Bias. OF vat Marx, Auo. B.—A kind of coali tion. or union, has jolt been formed between Botha, Sweden. and Denmark ; its obJeft is to oppofe every attempt to ()bawd and cripple the commerce and na vigation of the Baltic. and to fhelter their fubjeas from the vexations to which they muff be erpofed, if the molt impoftng meafures were not adopted. It is evident that this coalition is at lean implicitly direfted againft England, beeaufe England is the only belligerent power that violates neutrality, by ob. (hating the freedom of navigation. We are afforest, that in confequence of this new concert between the three powers of the North, Sweden and Denmark are immediately to fend out of their ports a propor tionate number of (hips of war, to that which the Emperor ALLIANDFII will fend into the Baltic. As this maritime confederacy can leave no doubt refpeet• IT.g the difpofitions of the Cabinet of Ruaia. it is to he hoped that the Court of St. James's will at length pay hone regard to the propofals that have been made to it both on the part of Botha and Proflia. Some perfons pretend that the courier who is the bearer of the alien' of his Britannic Majttly ought, by this time, to have arrived at Peteriburgli. A congrefs will therefore be held, to ttltich the principal Powers of Europe will fend Minillers. The cio , of Hamborgh has been propofcd as the moll favourable place (or holding that Crngrefs, being fituated between Loo• don and Petertbuigh. Not only are the caufcs of the prefent difpute be tM•een England and France to Lc fttticd at this Con grecs, but several oth er 'Mirth ate to be taken into con• fideration, which may tend more precitely ro eflablifh the balance nt Europe, more efprcially as to what re• l a v es to maritime and commercial concerns. It mall° priffible that the prefent (Late of the Ottoman empire 'd e r Ifi.lcr •-• in, as liken ife the even• , :lopred in tale that im. :‘; to a catailrophe, in lends and allies may be 'event its dilfolution.+— 'to 11{..W squat tluuu&h• LONDON.

(Molt n 2) R-2{ Sit— Courfe of klealige—Dubin ou I.omion (Auzuft 12) 17 Mr. FISH E R, the Mcfrenger, arrived yeaerday with difpatches from the Court of Peterfburgh.—He came by the way of Paris. Mr. Lucas the Mefrenger ar rived at the fame time with difpatches from our mi flitter at Conflantinorle.—Mails alfo arrived from Tonningen, and Gothmburgh, which brought fe veral important communications: the letters however were nit deliveredout, tillafter our paper was at pref.- Oar letters ft orn I lamhorgh, which appeared only in a part of our impreffion, we have again in ferred, with a variety of other communications which will be found interetling. We may alfo (tate, that the general tenor of the private letters received by the commercial houfes in the city, tend to corrobo rate the opinions that have been from time to time ad vanced in this paper, refpeeting the part which Ruffia would probably take in the prefent contea. . Our own letters mention that ac,coo Ruffian troops are on boaid the Ruffian fleet that lately failed, and that Pruflia has been required by the Emperor ALez- ANDER, to affiti in driving the French from Hanover. Whether the fad may prove to be ezaetly as here (Fated, cannot eafily be determined ; but the very cit. cumftance that renders this difficult to be afcertained, tends to make it fo far probable, at leaft, that wemay confider the movement as in favour of this country. Our Readers could not fail to obferve, in the entails from the French papers yetlerday, a kind of com plaint " that the correfpondence between the Erays• Rot of RUSSIA and the Krwc of Paussta was carried on without the medium of their Minifters, by letters written with their own hands ;" nor can our readers have forgotten a circumftance that • made much noife, not long ago, of fame difpatches having been kept from the knowledge of a certain potentate for a longer time than any good reafon could be af figned for. Whether the Machiavelian policy that rendered it neceffary for the ESIPIROR and the KING of Ptussr♦ to manage their own correfpondence, could be laid to our charge or to that of France, need not, we think, be doubted; nor, confequently which of us is to be ferved by it. The view we are decidedly inclined to take is far ther corroborated by private letters received 'react day from St. Petedburgh, which Rate, that a nett of French (pies and agents, deteeed in corrupt prat. vices there, have been feized and fent into Siberia. This is affirmed in fo many letters that we cannot doubt its truth, and it is neceWarily regarded as a moll aufpicious circumaance for this country. Some accounts lay, the EmPeROll of RuSIA, in confequence of dikovering the bare defigns and treachery of the French, has declared in favour of Great Britain, and is forming an alliance with Sweden and Denmark againft France. That fuch may be the with of the Emperor we doubt not, and that it would obvioully be for the real interefts of there powers to accede to fuch a propofition is undeniable; but "heavy bodies move fiowly," and we cannot think the period for the interference of Sweden and Denmark, fo near as we could with it. Some of the private letters go fo far as to hate, that in confcquence of the detefted machinations and intrigues of the French, the Emperor of Ruffia has ordered the immediate departure of all Frenchmen from his dominions.—That zneafure may not yet have taken place, but we have no doubt it foon will; for we know no country on earth which, like our own, permits the fubjeds of its enemy to range at large in its territories after hoffilities have alually commenced. The contents of the difpatches from St. Peterf burgh have not tranfpired ; but we can Rate, on very rood authority, that before the end of OE'ober a Ruffian fquadron may be eape.led in our harbours. for the purpofe of co-operating with our navy. The reports in the City ought, however, to be mentioned. Some politicians affert that the difpatches related to a Congrefs for a General Pacification mentioned in the Paris Papers received yellerday ; while others ri diculed fuch an idea fo long as BONA AAAAA continued to avow his hollility againft this country, accompa nied with all the aggravating circumllances of intuit' and invafion. That the Northern Powers may indi cate a with to renore the peace of Europe humanity will readily allow; but that thefe efforts will prove fucccfsful, we very much doubt. The report, how ever, of a Negociation for Peace through the me dium of the Northern Powers, and the general com pletion of all the accounts from the Continent, had a favourable effed upon the funds. With refpei to the difpatches from Turkey, it is highly probable they relate to the fuppofed defign of France againil Egypt, with which the formidable military preparations in the ports of Italy, we have no doubt, will prove to be intimately conneeied. The refractory Beys arc Paid to be now in potfetlion of Grand Cairo, and it is forpeaed, certainly with much 'talon, that an tin derltanding fubfals between them and the Govern. inent of France. • HAMBURGH MA!LS.

The French Officers gave a fcw days fence a moh elegant entertainment. HANOVE R, A uc. z.—lt is reported that Soo° men, from the French army of referve, will fhortly rein• force the army in this quarter. The Royal Stud, which has been till this time in Mecklenburg, will now be tranfported entire to Eng land, and not fold here as was intended. General MORTIER has ordered the fifhing boats of the Embden Company to be particularly refpefted. WISTPII•LIR, JULY 3o.—The French are march ing in two columns through Munfter, to occupy the diftriet of Gottingen. BERLIN, Auo. 2.—His Excellency Count &HU LENBURG is arrived from Munger ; Col. Kaossi.s- DORFF, Pruffian Ambaffador at the Ottoman Porte, from Conflantinople. Corte:macaw, JuLv 26.—1 t is fuppofed that the Englifh Ambaffador, Mr. LISTON, will fhortly pay a vifit to the CROWN PRINCE at Louifenllnd. Major General WALTERSDORFT is returned from the Weft Indies by way of England. I.aa Saturday M. Go- MOFF, a Ruffian Mellinger, arrived here with dif patches for the Ruffian Miniller. Our troops in Holltein approach nearer to the frontiers on the Elbe. The blockade of that river Rill continuing, the trade, by way of Tonningen to England, is extremely brilk, and it is fuppofed that' buoys will be laid in the Road of Tonningen, to make the entrance lefs dangerius for flips. COPENHAGEN, JULY 30.—From the ald to the agth, 24.5 (hips have pallid the Sound. Yeflerday the immenfe number of (hips, which have fo long waited for a good wind, at length failed: ' the Englifh, to the number of 400, under convoy of their (hips of war. HAMBURG H, Auo. 3.—A1l .he letters from Hano ver contain daily accounts or frr(h taxes laid on by the French fcr the fupport of their army, which is now nearly new cloathed and armed at the expince of the EleCtorate. There, as in tome pars of th e countries invaded by them 1 ill war, the fy tern of plunder is carried o r methodically, and without any kind of truffle, to an ex:int h irdly crediole, by the Government itfelf. An exaa I:ff is required from all Magiffrates of the Hanoveri.ru Officers refiding in their dill rills. We have here the ftranzeft reports imaginable : itl is confidently affirmed, tbdt the great Ruffian fleet,' which has failed, has 20,0t0 troops on board, and that Ruffia has peremptorily required the Keno of Paussia affift in driving the French from Hano. ver. What all this may end in we cannot conjefture, but things cannot remain as they are. THI Isvastom.—A private letter from France, dated Augua to, fays—" You may reit latisfi-s1 the propored Invafion of your country, which we ail cz peeked would be very fhortly carried into execution, will not take place during the year 1803 ! The plan is abandoned for the prefent, and fo far I can !peal with certainty; but what has occatinned this fudden alteration in the mind of the FIRST CONSUL remains to be explained. I cannot hazard a conjedure, and therefore (hall only add what are the reports of the moment.

Another report (fates, the Ewer- ROR'S very formidable preparations have been confl• dered as a certain indication ttf another Continental War. A third rumour, to which fume credit is at tached, goes to impeach the Minister- It is laid that Tat-carcass:shad been deteded in a fecret correrpon dcnce with the Englifh Cabinet, and that BomAratxx was privately informed of this treafon at Br uffels.— Thefs, and a variety ttf other reports, are now on the wing ; but no dependence can be placed on any of them.
