GERMAAr. HAMM/AGM, SEPT. 27.—The Auflrian camp at Mullendorff was to begin forming on the loth init. and it is generally believed, that the Ruffian Grand Duke Cows-raw-nal will be prefent at the manoeu vres The Ruffian Count Tasssitow had reached Vienna, charged with a very important million from the Emperor ALFNANDEL to the Autirian Cabinet. The French, according to advices from Hanover, of the 16th moll, were preparing to make great ad ditions to the works of the fortrefs of Hammeln and Fort St. George. Thefe works are to be completed with the sitmoit (peed, and near too 3 workmen have been put in requifition for this purpole. To judge from this uncommon precipitation, it would teem as if the French were afraid of not being left much longer in the undiflurbed poffeflion of the Eleetorate. Fort St. George and Hammeln have been fupplied with a year's provifions. The Eleelor of He& Car fel has atThally advanced to the States of Hanover a loan of 5,000,000 rix dollars, and his Highnefs's Agent, Mont: HAHN, is now in that country to fettle the conditions for a fecond loan, which will, it is raid, amount to z,000,000 of riz dollars. The fugar refiners of this city are quite at a Rand, as no coal is to be had. Its price now is eighteen marks, about twenty-fix fhillings per ton, meafure of this place. The fame quantity could formerly be had for about five or fix fhillings. The Commercial agents of Harburgh lately un dertook to pals a vail quantity of Britith goods through Hanover to the Leipzig fair, on the owner's paying one per cent. premium. The goods, how ever, to a very confiderable amount, have been feiz rd by the French, and confifcated. Accounts from Semlin bring particulars of a moll dreadful infurreftion and civil war in Bofnia, and all other Turkifh provinces in Europe. One of the captured French privateers has made her efcape ; the crew having rifen upon the Englifh by night, in a gale of wind. She now lies off Wil helmfburgb, on this fide the river. The French Captain, previoufly to her failing from Harburgh, had affured the French General FRIAR, who com . muds in that place, that he lhould pals by the Eng lifb unperceived, and get into the North Sea. The French had built this veltel in the docks ncar Ham. burgh ; but when they were going to !rig her, the Senate iffued a prohibition, and the owners were forced to take her away to Harburgh. A vail quantity of Britint goods, belonging to.dif ferent merchants in this place, have again been rela ted at Harburgh by the French. LONDON.

DAY AT ONE O'CLOCR • By a perfon who arrived in London yeflerday morning from Paris, we have been favoured with rouse information on which the public may rely, The Perfon alluded to, left Paris only a few days ago, and proceeded to Calais to look for an oppor tunity of paffing over to this country. He arrived there at the time of our late bombardment, and therefore made a very !hurt flay. From Calais he took the route to Flufhing, and thence to Rot terdam, where he was fo fortunate as to get on board a neutral velTel. The impreffion produced by our bombardment of Calais was, he rays, of a very different kind from what we have fees in the Maximo, refpeßing the ef fat of our attack on Dieppe and Granville. Inftead of making light of it, the inhabitants of Calais were filled with confternation, and Tome of them remark. ed, if an attack from fo fmall a number of the Engliffi veffels, and of fuch *comparatively fmall Rae, was fo dreadful, what had their fea.ports to cape& when the Englifh thoold believe the French prepara tions in fufficient forwardnefs to demand a tenons attack, with fuch a force as they could at any time fend to deßroy them The war is by no means fo popular in France as the journals endeavour to reprefent it. Every perfon there knows that the profs is in complete fetters, and that they need look for nothing in their papers but what the Government chutes to communicate. When they read of the extent of their preparations and pre tended fucceffes at fez, they only shrug up their boulders and pats the paper to another. In private circles, where they think themfelves not under the eyes of Government (pies, of whom there are an im amate manlier in Paris, they (peak out with loud execrations of the war and the author of it, and call it a pbilofophical plan to fatten the fiflt in the Rraits of Dover with the bodies of French-men 1 In one word, the Fres". Coast:B. is execrated by the people in general, but they confider themfelves as completely at his mercy as the Dutch, the Swifs, or the Hanoveriass, cod, therefore, at the pretest mo ment. without any remedy ; and the only fatisfaelion they exprefs, when they hear of their armies occupy. kg new territorities, is, that others will be fleeced as swell as themfelves for their rapport. But however much the FIIST Cousin. and the myrmidons which (most him, may be decried by the people at large, he has at the prefeat moment immenfe power, and the very millions that hate him arc obliged to obey. He has very different ideas re fpediug the diredion of the phyfical Ilrength of a country from many others, Of this we nerd only give a well known inftance: When applied to by one of the Irilh rebels to fend a French force to that country, he frankly told him he could not then fpare a fufficient number to (land againfl the numbers which England could fend to that Country.— " But fhould they fend ever fo many," replied the rebel, a it will not avail them—the foldiers are difaf. fedled to the Government."—" But can they fend them," Paid the Fitly CONSUL?"—a They certainly can," laid the other, a but they will not fight."— The anfwer of Bomarears fhews his true charader. " If they can but fend them, they mull-fight.—The greater part of the force, with which I obtained my chief vidories in Italy, were confcripts, fent to me in chains like criminals." He ads at the prefent moment on the fame fy Rem —" Let me only find the means to fend a fufficient number of men to England—they muR then fight." And though he and his plans are detefted by the French people in general, thefe very people muff do what he commands them, and it becomes us to be as alive and determined. as if there was but one mind in France for the conqueß of our country. Indeed we are allured that Government has re ceived information not only that the General Officers , have reached the coati, as mentioned in the IA Path journals, but that the preparations are in loch a (tate of forwardnefs, as to leave no doubt of the defperate attempt being made in the courfe of the prefent month. The embarkation of the troops was to com- 1 mence on the aft init. and this bound's, it was hip. pofed, would occupy sor 6 days. The expedition, formed into feveral divifions, is to fail chiefly from Dunkirk, Oltend, and the ports of Holland ; and the principal landing wiU be attempted on the Elfex and Norfolk coatis. Such is the fubaance of the information received by Minilters, who have, in confequence, adopted every praBicable means of &nitrating the objeft of the enemy, and turning the daring attempt to the deftruaion of the invaders.— In every department does a becoming degree of vi gilance prevail, and in no direltion is any thing left to chance. Along the whole line of our fouthern and eafteru costa', a (hong military force has been diem bled ; all the Regular and Militia Forces are under orders to march at the Ilona notice ;—and feveral of the Volunteer Corps have already been ordered on altual duty. Alarm polls and fire beacons have every where been eltabliffied: and the military arrange ments are Inch, that, in the courfe of eight and forty hours, fifty thoufand men can be colle&ed on any part of the min.—an army of itfelf fufficient to encoun ter and defeat a far greater force, than the enemy, in the prefent vigilant Ilate of our Navy, can yea fonably be expeCted .to throw upon our fhores. As a 11111 further precaution, waggons are ordered to be provided and kept in conaant readinefs in the principal towns along the coati, for the purport of conveying into the interior of the country, the the women, and childen ; and every article capable of rendering the flighteft fervice to the enemy is to be inftantly dearoyed, in cafe of a landing being effeeed. Government thus appear to have taken every Rep which wifdom and prudence could dietate ; and the eager exertions of the people will not fail o gi►e due efficacy to all their plans. They are fenfible of the bleffings they peculiarly poffefs, and by their valour will prove themfelves worthy of fo enviable an inhe ritance.—Englifhmen of the loweft claffes enjoy pri vileges of the high& diainetion, and will furrender them only with their lives. They know that the charms of domeftic life, the endearments of friend (hip, and every thing that can render life valuable, would not furvive the fubjugation of their country by the implacable foe of human happinefs. In the common caufe, therefore, are all defcriptions become united and firm. All party diainaions are banilbed, and the only emulative principle that now prevails, is the defire of being molt forward in the Infliaion of that jolt vengeance which the perfidy of an enemy who would dcaroy us has fo greatly provoked. By the Englifh (hip Mangles, Capt. Rasp, which left the Cape of Good Hope the end of June laft, we' have received newfpapers publinted by authority in that Settlement down to the :sth June, which com pletely give the lie to the official paragraph in the Mortimer, refpefting the fquadron of Admiral Limo's. This fquadron, confining of the Marengo line of battle (hip, commanded by Captain de ',ARV' l'A talante frigate; Capt. Gummi, and la Semillante frigate, Captain MOTTAID, arrived the 7th and Bth May in Simon's Bay, having about 13o° troops on board, for the gairifon of Pondicherry, for which place they failed nn the 27th of the fame month. If this iquadron Osould have made no longer flay at the Mauritius than it did at the Cape, it vial in all pro- bability fall an eafy prey to our cruisers in the In dian Seas; fot in this cafe Admiral Limoes could not have heard of the war. On the 27th of June, a whole month after this fquadron left the Cape, they had not then the lean idea of a war. 'We extra& a few articles from the raid papers : • " Cape Town, 14ti May, 1103. " On the 7th and Bth of this month arrived in Si. moo's Bay a French tquactroa, commanded by Ad miral Liam. 0, The French General Dtscassus arrived here on the evening of the loth, with his (like. and a number t* French Officers, and the following day the ComoWary General of the Batavian Government gave them a grand dinner, on which occafion he drank to the fuccefs of the French Government and her Fitil Conful, with a falute of at guns. The f Arne evening arrived the French General Van DM MAIM ; both of whom received the compliments of the Garrifon. " Ma 21.—Yefterday General DESCHAMPS, Ac companied by his Officers, and elcorted by a detach. ment of dragoons, took his departure for Simon's Bay, on which occafion he was fainted from the Cattle with 21 guns. " We forgot to mention that the French General Dacasii, a few days before his departure, dined with the Ailing Governor, de Sat.'s. On the 16th the faid Governor, accompanied by his Secretary and other Officers, dined on board the Admiral's (hip in Falfe Bay, where he was received with the politenefs and refped peculiar to the French nation and due to his charafter. " Just B.—From letters, bearing date the ;al of May, we learn the fsfe arrival of the Governor-Ge neral at Algoa Bay, where he found that GAIICA, the King of the Gaffers, was engaged in a war with the Chiefs of the rebel Cafers on this fide the Great Fit River ; that this King bad espreffed a with to bold a conference with tLe Governcr•General, for which pur pofe the time and place had already been appointed. " The sth of this month arrived in Simon's Bay, the French brig la Marie Francoife, Captain Ls souacm. from Bra for Pondicherry, with provifions, and has on board the following paffengers--Bat c M a a, Under Commiffary of Marine ; LiMiTH, ditto; Du vs sst us, ditto; Cason, Chef de Loge dans l'lnde ; Madame LAMITM LANOTTI, Commis de )a Ma rine, with f 1 others on the eftablillunent of Pon dicherry. The fame day arrived the French cor• vette l'Etat le Balier from Brett for Pondicherry, laden with provifious. She failed the following day." By private letters from the Cape we learn, that the Colony is rapidly declining into a Rate likely to be more deplorable even than when it fell into the hands of the Englint. The troops are conliantly (hewing a difpofition to mutiny, on account of their little pay and (bort allowances, which they were told would be at leaf( equal to thofe given tdthe Engli(• garrifon. The Government is alto greatly in arrears, and has neither money nor credit. Bankruptcies arc daily happening ; and there is fuch a total ((agitation to all trade, and fuch a fudden slepreffion in price to all ar ticles of produce, that thofe who (hewed themfelves moR obnoxious to the Britillt Government are now loudly calling out for the return of the Engli(6.— Thole African Dutchmen it teems, although they have no great love for Englifb nurse, have at leaß Come confederation for Englift awry. What a for. tunate moment would the prefent bt both for this country and for the Colony, fhould an Englifh fqua dron appear before the Cape ! The whole garrifon confißs in about aOOO, men, and theft moßly difgated and 'clifsffelled ; and when the Mangles left the Cape, there was not a fingle (hip of war of any defcription, either in Table or Simon's Bay, nor is it probable that our (hips in the Indian Seas would fuller the cof fee fquadroa of Dutch (hips of• • war. under Ad miral Deem, to pats the Straits of Sunda. It is Purely worth the attention of our Government to fe cure thi poffelPon of fo important a Ration to our trade and poffefflons in the EaR Indies.
