FRANCE. PARIS. JANUARY go—FROM THE MONITEUR. The letter which is about to be read has been fent to the Chief of the Secret Police. We have thought that coming from a man better able than any other to know the labyrinth and the atrocity of the plots of the former Englifh Miniftry, becaufe he participated in every intrigue, this letter will be of fome intcreft to the people of France. Thofe atrocious men, who threw into Qiiiberon the flower of our s old officers of Marine, to have them facrificed, have not ceafed to have in their pay fe era affaffins, always ready to ftrike in the dark, like the affallins of the old Man of the Mountain, in the time of St. Louis ; it was they who recom mended and paid the 3d Nivofe ; and GEORGES, Dutuat 1., the old Bifhop of Arras, who were the principal inftruments of that abominable plot, en joy public protection and a large penfion in Eng. laud. They have armed the French again(' the French, under divers pretexts ; but having for ob. jed the annihilation of us. They have wiffied to realife what they had engraved upon their charts, to efface the beautiful France from the table of Eu ropean powers. Inhabitants of La Vendee, the Morbihan, the Cotes du Nord, the Manche, the Orne, it is above all to you that this is addre(Fed. The levy of the Confcripts was completed among you with great eagernefs. When your Prefeas gave an account of this to the FirftConful — " It is the belt proof, he Paid, that they could give me, that they are grate ful for all I have done for them, and their fincere &fire is to repair their own evils more than thofe of others, becaufe they are the part of the family that have fuffered the moft." Mote than any other part alfo, you have injuries to puniffi, and if ever thefe wretches excite war upon the Con tinent, you will revenge your miferies and your difallers. There men, who have paid for the commit fion of all crimes, are devoted to the contempt of Europe.—Call a look at the ifland of Jerky. It is fill filled with brigands, who quit it only to difturb your tranquillity. That ---Geotoss fold you to them, and when the Chiefs, who at different times have been at the bead of the civil war, but who always preferved a French charac ter, fuch as CH•TILLON, DAUTICI4•OIP, &c. fhall have written all the atrocities which are in their knowledge, pofterity will place the Geesivict Ls, the Weauti AM in the rank of perfons who have dilhonoured m odern Europe. But happily thofe times are paffed. It is in vain that thefe terrible men would fcatter gold—they can no longer di vide us. The French of all parties, of all opinions, rallied and united, will Main the glory andgran. deur of their country—for all remain now per. loaded, that it was wilted to effeft the deftruCtion and misery of France. But if, when divided, we have always rendered their plans nfelefs ; if we have extended our limits to the boundaries of an cient Gaul ; if we have had the power to extend them further ; if we have flopped,st is becaufe we willed it.—Who would dare to attack us! ! ! So long as we (hall remain untied, fo long as we (hall not lend a guilty ear to the infurredions of hired and bribed men, they will rage with jealoufy in beholding us. They may weave tome plots ; they may try poifon and the poinard, the arms of cowards.— They keep always in referve and load with bene fits the agents who have ferved them in their cri minal attempts--it is becaufe they reckon upon making ore of them again. When Rates have no refitirce hut in crimes; when the chiefs and lead ers of a mown, who as John the Firft raid," ought ever to be the refuge of honour and public mora lity." live and confide only in fncb hopes, then a nation is very ill governed; the firft diva of crime is Ow ay 0 fall upon him who meditates it. ;• t•er is flown a ;rearm named BERME IIIER, w: noticing the Taft invective in the Nord ksir, (+ vies the idea of placing the emigrants DA Sll4 .1111 Du ram. in the fame clefs.

A decree ideated in the nth No. of the Maskeur, and co pied by the other Journals, &ems to place upon the fame foot ing Dandre and Doth& An uninterrupted correfpondenee for five years with Dandre has given me every opportunity of perfectly knowing his opinion and his fentiments; he never once entertained thole of that vile and ferocious animal with whom his name has been coupled; and he has in prelim attired me,of the fovereign con tempt which he has uniformly expected in his letters for that infamous intriguer, who looks to thole only who are able and willing to purchafr his crimes. Dandre left France in 1792, and went to England on com mercial bufinefs. He was furniibed with a paffport from the Department of Paris but war being Wordy after declared, Dandre kit England, and retired to Switzerland, where he did not remain long before he was employed by the Count de Lille. Some time after the 18th Frudidor he returned to France, where he direded the operations of the royal agency. At that period I was appointed feeretary of that agency, and from that moment I was fo intimately eonneffied with Dandre, and lam enabled to repel all the charges brought againft him; that I may rarely fay, that, before and alter that famous day, he never be trayed any opinion that looked like an inftigation to aKaffinate ahy one, not even the Diredtors of that day. In all his letters he advi(ed me fluctioufly to avoid all connection with the agents of England, unlefs with a view to difeoncert their plots, all of which bad for their objedt to foment a civil war in France. Attached to his country, and to the Prince whofe agent he was, Dandre held DutiteU in fupreme contempt; for Dutheil. he knew, under pretence of (crying the Count d'Artois, fold both France and the Prince, whole fervant he called himfelf, to that perfidious Government who have been the authors of all the calamities that have befallen us. It is now two years and • half liner the Englitta Miniftry or dered their agent Wickham to prevail upon Dandre to go to Landon, to take upon him the principal fuperintendance of I what belonged to France, and even of the [chimes relative to the weft of France. He was even furnifhed with an authority from the King to accede to that propofal. Notwithftanding the tempting oilers that were held out to him, Dandre declined the miffion, and did not conceal from the Engliffi agent that the caufe of his refufal was his knowledge of the machiavelifen of the Englilla Government, and the dread of being confounded with Dutheil and the other atociates, who up to that period had enjoyed the confidence of the Englilh Mini iter --. Wickham pronalfed him, that on his arrival Dutheil Ihould be difmiffed, but Dandre Rill continued refolv ed to perfift in his refufal. I declare, in the name of every thing leered, that what I have the honour of telling you is ftrialy true; and the frank felf nefs of my anfwers to the queltions which perfonally regarded my mull be a pledge to you of the veracity of my prefent declaration. May I be permitted to hope, Sir, that you will have the good nets to prefent it to his Excellency the Grand Judge. I venture to expel, that after having perufed it, you will no longer con , found the head of an ordinary oppofition with the chief of • ; band of the vileft affaillns, I have the honour to be, with refpedt.

Befides the fubjoined letters from Alexandria and Gibraltar, we yerterday received fome of a prior date. But as their contents chiefly relate to the Houwa Hoop, which has fine reached Pont. mouth, and to the failing of Lord Cava'', already in London, from Alexandria, where he has been fucceeded in the command by General Srawaar, to give them now is unnecelary. The contents of the following letters, however, are new, excepting fo far as we announced them yefterday, and will be read with Come intereft : ALEXANDRIA, OCTOBER zo. g. You will probably have heard before this that General STEWART'S CMhaf to Conftantinople, in favour of the Mamelukes, has been unfuccefsful, the Porte having obtlinately refuted to linen to any terms in their favour, unlefs the Mamelukes Ihould agree, as a preliminary Rep, to barna themfelves ' entirely from Egypt ! This, as might be expelled, they have refuted ; nor will they ever content to filch a propofitinn ; and in confequenee a mcift bloody and de truaive war has now commenced between them and the Turks, in which no quarter ' is ever given by either fide. The Mauselukcs, who far excel the Turks in difcipline and courage, have been completely vittorious in every glints ; and as I they are abundantly fupplied with money and arnmunition, they will to a certainty drive the Turks out of Egypt. The country people too are unanimuuny in their favour, as the condua of the Turks towards them has been more cruel and opprefilve than even imagination can conceive. a We are all heartily tired of Egypt and our al lies the Turks, but we are totally ignorant when we are to evacuate this country, or what is to become of us. s' Baron DURUM, Lieutenant Colonel of De Rolle's Regiment, died bare lately, after a fhort illnefs." GIBRALTAR. DECEMBER 19. " On the 16th, the HOUND Hoop of war arrived here from our fleet at Oriftein Bay, after a paffage of 14. days. The fquadron were all well at the time the HOUND failed. Major Kama, Aid-de- Camp to Lord C*vas, is on board the Houtto on his way to England : he left Lord Cava,: at Mal. to about a month ago, his Lordthip intending to proceed to England by way of France and Italy : they failed from Alexandria on the roth of Oc tober, when the army was in good health. " On the 16th inft. arrived the SPIDNIL brig from Plymouth, in 24 days, with difpatches for the fleet, and on the following day the BE w Bei DG a cutter brig, in 16 days, from Plymouth, with , difpatches for the fleet. The BENBRIDGE lay-to for a fhort time in the Bay to land her letters for this place, and then made fail to the Eaftward.

" The Conftellation American frigate, with their Commodore on board, arrived from Malaga in ten days. " This morning, about four o'clock, we bad one of the molt dreadful Storms, accompanied with heavy showers of hail, and tremendous peals of thunder, that ever were remembered in this place ; and as the day dawned, the Bay exhibited a truly melancholy fcene, guns and fignals of claret's being every where heard and feen. Five velrels were on Shore near the Old Mole ; one Turkifh veffel funk in the Bay, one Branded at Al gefiras, an American; the Cvirrata Sloop of war was driven out of the Bay. and the Phenix Por tuguefe frigate was feen firing guns of diftrefs near Cabrita Point, refpefting whole fafety very ferious apprehenfions are entertained. as it is imagined the has Bruck upon the Pearl rock. " At one o'clock in the day, the Royal Battery, on the fummit of the rock, was obferved to be on fire from the lightning, aad though immediate aflame was fent to extinguins it, they were un able to accomplifh it, from the violence of the wind, and their having no water near at hand. DICIIIIIIIL 20. I , The TN arts failed this morning for England. . . —The Royal Battery (till continues to burn with great violence, and will be completely confumed ; was Rrongly built of Ihip timber, and lined with old cables and junk, which made it burn fo fiercely, that all attempts to eatinguifh it were ineffe&ual. This battery was the one that did molt mifchief to the Spaniards during the liege, from its im menfe height, it being nearly too feet above the level of the fea."

" The &thaw who commands the Turkilh troops here is fortifying with great halts the pa lace that Bow ararra occupied in the fquare called Ezbekkier, through fear of the Beys, who have made themfelves complete mafters of Upper Egypt► and of the province of Alfieli. They make incurfions as far as the Pyramids, and have five times completely defeated the Turkills troops. —The Englith remain at Alexandria with 4.000 troops under General SMART, and there is the greaten difcord between them and the Turks, as the latter imagine that the Mamelnkes are paid and fupported by the Englifh. Two Commiffio ners were fent Tome time ago by the Beys, fecretly, to treat with the Britifh Commander. The Turks have 3000 men at Damietta, 2000 at Rofetta, and 20,000 at this place. All the taxes impofed by the French, have been continued by the Turks, but tripled in the amount." The Duke of Caesium' left Franckfort on the 3oth ult. on his return to Hanover.

THEATRE. Cormwr•G,Rcew.—Laft night Their MAPISTIES and all the PaiticessEs, except SOPHIA, went to fee the Man of the World. His MAJESTY feemed to enjoy heartily the jokes at his fervants, and no doubt many pallages in his eventful reign were brought to his recolleCtion by the mimic fcene.— The Party were received with the ufual affection and loyal greetings. The KING was dreffed in regi mentals, and looked very well. The QrsEtt and all the Paiackssss wore turban head drafts, with feathers and diamonds.

Not many hours after the wreck, tome of the Cap tain's fpoons were fold in the Borough ; and above Sol. worth of his plate was (topped yellerday morn ing, upon a fufpicions perfon. A Surveyor of Private Trade, in the fervice of the Company, was one of the fortunate furvivors; and it is rather a remarkable co-incidence, that this perfon was alto on board the unfortunate Hexer ADDINGTON, and then bad alto a narrow efcape for his life. Another fingular circumtiance is the death of Mr. Ciaacx, on the very day on which his fon, a Cadet, on board the Hitt:soiree, experienced a watery grave.—Great hopes are entertained that part of the bullion, copper, and lead may be fithed up; but the cargo in general, of woollens, la. is totally loft. The Court of Direftors with an alacrity faked to the fpur of the occafion, have taken up twolarge (hips for China, to anfwer the encreafing and un exampled demands for Teas of every defeription ; amounting. at prefent, to above twenty-four mil. lions of lbs. per annum.
