OCTOBEE. 16. —The Governmc.: publithed on the 29th Fratidor (September ii), a Decree telative to the recruiting of the army and the organization of the Confcripts of the Referve. The Decree contains the rules for dividing forty thoufand of them among the different veteran Corps. There Confcripts are to conaft of one half of thofe of the year it, and one half of thole of the year sz, whole active fcrvice was required by the Military Law pallid in the courfe of the laft Scion of the Legiflative Body. The young men of thefe two claffes (hall be immediately feleeted, and in order always to keep the contingents com plete, there fball be formed a Supplementary Litt of the Confcripts of the fame dal's, which (hall include one-foUrth of the Contingents, who than be at all times ready to replace thofe who have gone before them. Already meafures have been taken to put the Con fcripts in regulation, that without any difficulty they may be feletted and fent off to the army immediate ly, without any dittindlion of the year to which they belong. For this purpofe tables of the Military Con fcription of the year za were circulated over the De partments before the end of the year zl. This preli minary Rep has been taken in virtue of a circular let ter of the Minifler at War received by the Prefeis in the beginning of left Fruetidor (about the 19th or zoth of Auguß.) The Manifter, while reminding them.that the law only requires the Confcription at the commencement of each year, adds, that circum. fiances on the prefent occafion demanded the antici pation of this work.—Monilew .

The Spann banker Haavas, who is appointed Minilier of Finance in Spain, now reficles here ; he is father-in-law to General Duaoc. The preparations for the expedition againft Eng land are continued with unabated aeivity. There will be no thought of Peace till the decilion of the great fcene now preparing. Two couriers have arrived here from Madrid, one to the Spanifh Ambstrador the Chevalier AZZ ARA, and the other to the Minitter TALLEYRAND. Spain is now unanimous with France, with rebuff to the mea• fares to be taken, and we (hall loon fee the conk queues of her union in the war againit England. The gun-boats provided with p i ec e s o f heavy ar tillery, which are built according to the direeions of the counfellor of (tate FORNSIT, are much preferable to thofe built towards the dole of the laf war.

FIcAMp, Ocr.l3.—This morning a French flotilla failed by this port; but the rear-guard being nbferved by an Englifb frigate, it was chaced, and obliged to take refuge under the battery of Danes. The Can nonading on both fides was very heavy.

MILAN. SEPT. 26.—According to the late( letters from Barcelona, the recruiting of the Army in Spain is carried on with the greateh adivity and firiernefs. The Englifh are fitting out an expedition at Marta with the titmolt difpatch. Many of the Maltefe have been compelled to serve in it. It is firppofed that its tit:flirtation is againft the bland of Elba, partly to cut off the trade of L:guria and Tufcany, and partly to deprive the French fleet of any place of refuge, if it fhould venture to put to fea from Toulon. PETERSBURGH, SEPTEMBER 20.—The combined fquadrons of Revel and Cronftadt, which had an chored in the road of Cronflad', have gone into the inner harbour. The greater part of this large fleet, on which Co many conjeCtures were formed, Is alrea dy laid up in ordinary. After having excited fo much attention by its total inadivity, we (hall not be at all furprifed to hear of its entire difarmament. All the veffels are laid up together, with the excep tion of four old fhips. Thele four being confidered unfit for further fervice, are to be fent to Revel, there to be funk, with the view of ftrengthening the pofition of that port. CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 20.—8 y three different couriers from Smyrna, Acre, and Alexandria, the Porte has received the melancholy intelligence that Egypt is wholly in the hands of the Beys and the Arnauts, who have joined them—lb that this fine province is once more loft to the Porte. The Turkin, garrifon in Alexandria beat off feveral attempts to form it ; but they were at !aft compelled, from want of provifions and apprehenfion of the immenfe fupe riority of the enemy, to agree to a capitulation.—This event has been communicated by the Rats EFFENDI to all the Foreign Minitlers. The Porte affeds to be convinced that this misfortune is not fo much to be afcribed to the difcontent of the beys as to foreign intrigues. Many of the Fortign Minifters have by extraordinary couriers notified thefe events to their Courts ; among there the Ruffian Minifter was the firft ; and the Divan teems of opinion that the Court of Peterfburgh will take a lively intereft in the affair. The Englifh have given up the rigorous vifitation of fhips in the Dardanelles, and thereferre there is reafon to hope that the commerce of the Black Sea will re• fume its former ativity. GER:II,INT. Hairovait, Ocr. 14.—Yeflerday again feveral waggons Frith arms fet nut for France. The punifh ment of death is proclaimed for all perfons who may be difcovered recruiting for England, and who are to be given up to the French Military tribunal ; the lace dealer from Lubinau, however, is delivered in to the hands of the Criminal Juflice of this city. Field Marfhal WALMODIW will loon publifh a juf tification of his condua during the lel campaign.

COPENHAGEN, OCT. 4.—A letter from Norway, dated Sept. fo, lays, "An Englith frigate bas taken a Swedith Eaft Indianian in a haven three leagues from Bergen, under pretence that it was French pro. petty. 'lite Engfills Captain then went to Bergen, where he threatened to take out of the harbour a Dutch Eaft Indiaman, and two privateers which lay there. They applied to the Governor, who caufed the (hips to be laid under the guns of the fortrefs.— Tne CiTtain has alto threatened to fend to England all flips from Bergen, laden with train oil, probably becaufe the oil was bought of two Dutch Greenland (hips, which lie now at Bergen." Ocr. 11.—The Eaft India Company's Blip, the Prince of Augultenburg, Captain Fame, lately re turned from the Indies, was (topped and vifited in a hoftile manner on its return, on the toth September, by an armed rail, which approached under Englifli colours, fired three (harp (hot, and immediately haul ed down the Engin, and hoifted French colours.— The commander then ordered Captain Feow, in the French language, and with infulting espreflions, to fend his long boat on hums'. The Captain complied and fent the pilot, who was obliged to remain on board the Ichooner, while three officers and a tailor, armed with piftols, repaired on board the Danifh (hip to examine the papers. Having found them in order, they demanded t 51. fterling for the three (hot fired, with a threat of firing again if this demand was not complied with :—the Captain, to avoid farther trouble, paid the fum.

By this Mail we have very little more information refpeaing the intended invafion, and nothing is Paid which can give any idea of the pet iod when it is itt tended to be carried into execution. On the 14th ult. the Minifler at War left Paris to infpea the dif ferent camps in the Netherlands, and on the eaftern part of the French ccraft. It was expelled that he would be followed by the Minitter of Foreign Af fairs; and this was confidered as a prelude to the departure of the CHIEF CONSUL himfelf.— The preparations continue to be mentioned in a tone of exultation and confidence, and lime of the Bruffcls Journals fay, that if the French effed a landing in this country, the red flag will be difplAyed , and a proclamation iffued,that no gnat ter will be given. Prince DOLOORUCKY is.mentioned as the fucceffur Cf the Count MARKOFF, in the charaCter of Ambaf• fader from Rufria to the French Government. The molt important article is from Conilantinople, dated the xoth of September, which fates that Egypt is now entirely in the poffeffion of the Beys. Alex andria was forced to furrender after repeated attempts to form it by the infurgents. The Turkifh Govern • ment entertains Prong fuipicions that the lots of Egypt has been occafioned, not merely by the difaf fdlion of the Beys, but by the intigues of a foreign power. To what power does the Porte impute the blame on this occafion ? We know from unqueftion• able documents that France carried on intrigues in Egypt ; but is France the power alluded to ? We apprehend it poffible, that the French may have ftic ceeded in infufing jealoufies into the minds of the Turkifh Government, in making it believe, that Eng land is at the bottom of this affair. Be this as it may, this event has excited the uturoft fenfation at Confantinople, and it has been formally notified to the Corp Diplomatigue. It is added, that Ruffia takes a very lively intereß in the fate of Egypt. The Hamburgh Paper quotes from a Paris Jour nal, a paragraph, Rating, that in confequence of the application of Ruffia the neutrality both of Spain and Portugal will be refpeeted by France. This is in con tradiftion to the preceding account, that Spain had wholly acceded to the demands of France. By Accounts from Dover, brought to that Port by a Neutral Veil - el which arrived there on Sunday night, and which left Calais the fame morning, after having failed from Flailing a few days before, we learn, that the Troops in the Mind of Walcheren amount to ao,ooo, of which t a,OOO are French and the refl Dutch. A Frigate and eight Schooners are Rationed at Flufbing, where there are alfo eight or ten Schuyts fitted nut as gun.veffell, each carrying two four-pounders; four more Schuyts are on the Rocks, the building of which is however at prefent fufpl:nded for want of ffiip-wrights. The inhabitants, as might be expcsed, complain bitterly of the diftrefs brought on them by their good Allies the French. The molt aria precautions are adopted at Calais for thepurpofe of preventing any information froth reach ing this Country of the preparations carrying on there. Captain COODALL, who has for Come time been pritoner in France, arrived in town on Monday, baring made his efcape by fwimming acrofs the Rhine. He was thirty days on hi, way firm Paris to England ; during which time he experienced fuch dif ficulties as could only have been overcome by a man poireiling great firmnefs and refolution. Among his fellow.priners at Epinal, at which he arrived on the t3th of September, and from which he effetled his &ape, were the following: The gallant Captain Baawrori, of the MINSRVI, frigate, taken at Cher bourg; Lieutenants Fr ?HIP L, FITZGERALD, WAL ?OLP, and BeLL, of the Marines, the Surgeon and his Mate, 25 Midfhipmen, 111.7 Bnatfwain, Gunner, Carpenter, and all the Tell of the Crew, except the Mailer, who was left at Cherbourg. There were alio Mr. G. A. WOOD, Commander of the AUGUSTA; Mr. COOPER, of the Rachael ; Mr. J. LawcLay, of the Refolution ; Mr. J. BAILLIE, of the Induary ; Mr. FLOOD and Mr. TAPLPY, of the Phillip; and Mr. JOLLY, of Guernfey. Captain Blocs, of the fltip Adventure, was fent to Chartres. _ . A private letter from Vienna, dated Oftober 12, given in a Morning Paper, contains the following fingular piece of intelligence. The Emperor of Rut ' sia has propofed to the Emperor of GERMANY and the King of PRUSSIA to relinquilh the provinces allotted to them by the lall partition of Poland, and to reftore a hereditary Monarch in that coun try, nn condition that France evacuates Italy, Ha nover, Swifterland, and Holland, reflores Piedmont to its lawful Sovereign, and divides between him and the King of Era Ultl• the Italian Republic, and of renouncing its prefen► frontiers by a firm drawl. from Landau, including tiat city, with Luxembourg and Macftricht, making them and the river Meufe the boundaries of the French R. public, and reftoring to the German Empire all its former territory between this line and the Rhine. To induce BoaAPART I to make thefe concellions, Louis XVIII. is to be chofen King of POLAND, and the throne declared he reditary in the Bova sots family, as an indemnity for their rights to the throne of France, renounced in favour of Bo AAAAA v r slid hislamily. As we do not pretend to be acquainted with the ferrets of the courts of PeterCourgh, Vienna, and Berlin, all we can fay of this plan at relent is : Crate :Turku, .125-11 a FLOTILLA OFF BOULOG.vR. DeAL, Nov. I.—On the night of the 26th ult. the enemy's flotilla came again to moorings in the liar boor of Boulogne. Their objea in coming out at prefent, which they frequently do, is to exercife their people,and aecuflom them to thedifferent manoeuvres, which will be necerfary when they make their grand attack. The troops are very numerous in and about Boulogne ; they are daily esercifed, and made to go through their various evolutions of marching,cou nter marching, llilng, &c. No idea can yet be f ormed of the period, when they intend to attempt putting their threats into execution. It is, however, the ge• neral opinion of all the naval people l have ken, that they will certainly make the attempt, and that foon they appear to be in a Rate of rcadinefs, and perhaps the dark nights will induce them to put to fea. It is the duty, therefore, of every perfon on the coaft to be vigilant, and to keep a flria look out. The French troops are a let of raw new raifed recruits, but they appear to go through their evolutions with wonderful preciflon ; they ought not then to be defpircel ; and I lincerely hope, that every Englifbman, at the prefent important ctifts, will make himfelf acquainted with the ufc of arms, particularly the mufket and pike. I have no doubt, that my gallant countrymen will difcharge their duty like Britons, whenever they are called into aelion, and that our inveterate foes, fhould they eiCape the vigilance of our cruizers, under cover of the night, or of the fogs prevalent at this feafon, and prefume to pollute the foil of our happy ifland with their unhallowed fleps, will meet with difgrace, and deflruaion. Wherever they have been, they have fpread defolation and mifery, and eflablifhed a fyllem of tyranny, which, to Englifhmen, would be worfe than death. On the 2Sth, our fquadron off Boulogne was joined by the L i ssa, BLOODHOUND, and LOCUST.— The weather was then remarkably fine, bukno move ments were obferved among the enemy, except a flute or a (hell now and then, when our cruizers ran too far in to examine the (fate of the preparations. The can. nonadingwhich we heard here on Monday was in con fequence of the Hairy (landing fo near to the French coati as to give the Republicans reafon to foppofe that the was taking too dote a view of the harbour; they therefore threw a number of Ihot and of (hells •at her, but without any effeEt. Nothing is fern on the coati but troops going through their manoeuvres, and the people on board our flotilla are deafened with the beating of drums, and the noife of mulketry. Yetlerday the Aactue came into the Downs to get fome &efts fupplies ; and it appears that orders have been given to the different vefels Rationed on the French coati, not to leave it but in cafes of ab folute necelfity. The Musitool returned yefterday, but I have not learned the refult of her cruize. Artived l'lmvsoarAtirc frigate, MERLIN (loop of war, and Wiz gun•brig, from a cruize, and remain with the Chips as per laft.—.Wind E.N.E. blows hard. The Sea Fencibles at Deal have made an offer of entering into a fubfcription to purchafe a fet of ea lours, and this offer has been highly applauded. • CORN MARKET, MARK-LANG, Nov. 2.0111' Corn trade was dull this morning, and we have no varia tion in prices from Monday laft. Assizs or BRlAD.—Yefterday the Loan Maroa. after infpe&ing the Mealweighers' Returns, ordered the price of Bread to continue the fame as laft week. Laft night a mamal drama of three ads, partly tranflated from the French. was performed at Drury- Lane Theatre for she 6rft time. intitled, The WO e Two &r ands, and very favourably received. The following were the Drameatir Perform: The Count Belau. - Mr. MUMS' ;WINSTON, Maurice - Mr. WROUOUTON. Theodore - Mfg Dc Cu.,.

Mr, MOUNTAIN, Mn BLAND. - Mils Trasa. Banditti, Pearants, &c. The fcene of this piece lies in Sicily, and its Rory may be eafily told. It is in its principal outline that of the tragedy of (fablla, with this difference, that the fira hufband is a villain, who fabricates the ac count of his own death, to forward a marriage by which he expels to derive advantages. He ultimately falls a vidlim by the hands of one of his creatures, and thus leaves a fond pair happy in each other, and reconciles an angry father to a daughter, from whorl; his affedions had been earanged by his artifices.— This is the whole of the fable of the piece, the dia logue of which, if not highly marked with the orna ments of language, is in tome parts confiderably in tereaing. It is alto made the vehicle of conveying to the public Tome loyal and patriotic effutions, ap plicable to the prefent situation of affairs, and which are put into the mouths of an Englifh Jack Tar And a blundering, but hones and valiant Irif6 Soldier, perfonated by 13awwlsTea and Jon *Toms. The mufic by MAZZIIIIO2I is very beautiful, as are alto the scenery and decorations of the Opera, but it is too long by almoa the whole of the third aft. — There is in the piece tome very pleating dancing, par ticularly by little BYRN' ; indeed all the performer, exerted themfelves to the tatmoa to give it effea t and that with complete fuccefs: the applaufe was unieer fal, from one of the molt iriumerouc audiences of the prefi.nt feafon. This piece is the produetion of Mg Cosa, who has taken the chief interest of his drama from the French play of la Femme dm: Mari,. la adapting it to the Englifh Rage, he has not, howe ver, adhered in a fervile manner to his original, but jodiciotifly tranfpofed the !genes, improved the boll nefs. and given a new complexion to the charafters. ~;
