HAVIOVIII, SIM 9.•••••• A few days ago to cannon and t3B Cannoniers returned to France, but on the other hand there arrive daily hundreds of Conferipts without arms or uniforms. The propofals in the lalt rentonftrance of the States have been entirely re jeeted by General Moarisa. Yeflerday afternoon, the States. called together a fecond time br Gene ral Morris& in the Knights Hall. were again &Miffed. We now hope with con fidence that the French troops in the country will be confiderably diminifbed, and, as is Paid, to is,ooo men. No works it Teems are to be thrown up on the Elbe and Wefer t but Fort George, near Hameln, is to be ftrengthened. The FIRST CONSUL is (aid not to have approved the forming an Hanoverian Legion. The foldiers already engaged will be therefore either difmiffed. or incorporated with the French infantry. Sem 10.—General Esavatse, Chief of the Ge neral Staff, will fhortly return to France. The ex pences of the carriages and equipages prefented to the French General here, till this time, amount to o,eno rix dollars. Two hundred French foldiers are quartered in the Eleaoral Palace at Zell. Sim t t.—According to the laft accounts the French army in Hanover will be reduced to 24,c00 men, of whom 6000 will be cavalry. General Moe. vise has defined tOOO dollars per month for the fup port of the Georgianum. StPT. t3.—General Movriait having received a kick from his li•nfe fume days ago, has been obliged to keep his room. The pay of the French troops on their entrance here, was about 3co,ocio francs per month, and now it is more than 900.000. The re port of the intention to raife works on the banks of the Elbe is confirmed. The States are now entirely broken up, and the Members have moftly returned home, after having, however, given to the College of Deputies full powers to aft in their name, to raife money, &c. Ten -thoufand rix dollars per month are appoint. ed for the payment of the Invalids, and moo, for our reduced army. But of the latter thole ate to be ex cepted who have other means of fubaftance. FR 4 vCE. PARIS, SEPTEMSFR 7. There it a report that Gel). Roctrastattau, who commanded in St. Domingo, has arrived in France. They write from L'Orienr, that on the 3I 11 ult. the firft gun-boat for the defcent upon England was launched there. The altivity ufed in building gives reafon to hope that it will loon be followed by fe veral others. On the 17th inftant a alip of 74 guns will be launched. They write from Antwerp. that 162 bottles fitu ated on the Scheldt,on the (cite where the bafon is to be formed for the confiruaion of veffels of war, have been marked out to be pulled down : a number of workmen will Coon be employed in demolifhing them: the proprietors will receive a fuitable indemnification. While the new docks are preparing, the building of Rat-bottomed boats goes on with the greateft both there and on the other ports of Belgium, and many will loon be ready to launch. The Englith frequently throw bombs into Bon loges. which, however. have done as yet but little damage. General St. litrataa is appointed Cotnmandaat of one of the Camps that are to be formed.

In this day's STAR we have given farther extras% from the Letters and Journals received by the kali Hamburgh Mails. Such is the State of Europe, however, at the prefent moment, that little can be gathered refpe&ing its probable fate from fources re. Rrained and (hackled by the arm of arbitrary power. A few infulated hafts, movements undertaken to de- 1 ceire, details given under the influence of fear. or viewed with a jaundiced eye, are, however, all that we can cape& from the public prefs of Europe. if we except that of our own free country, in which, in fpite of the haughty demand made by the Fixer Coasut, we Rill enjoy that privilege. The accounts from Hahover, if any warning were neceffary to induce Britons to exert themfelves in re pelling French free-boozers and murderers, are well calculated to thew what they have to expeft, &mild the invades.: ever fucceed isLefiablithing themfelves in this country ! If it be true as has been Rated, that all the French privateers have been called in, it is as probable that the velfels themfelves ale to be made ufe of in tome way or other, as that the men only are to be em ployed in the gun-boat expedition; and as tome ac counts Rate that the French are equipping frigates and tranfports, it is very probable that both are in tended for an attempt upon Ireland. While Govern ment, therefore. are taking every precaution for the defence of England, we have no doubt they will keep a watchful eye on that part of the united kingdom. Whether, indeed, the.enemy mean to make. their real attack on the one or the other of the Britilh Iflands, they will make a feint of defigning to attack both.— The French talk of the month of November as the period for attack, and it may be believed, that when their preparations are ready they will make an attack on tome part of the Britith European dominions, unlefs they are prevented by the elements or inter cepted by our navy. We mug again repeat, that though we feel it to be our duty to Rate every thing that comes before us re ("peeling the preparations of the enemy, we feel it to be equaliy neceffary to caution the public to view thefe preparations without anxiety. Before BONA PARTE atually attempts invafion, it will be his aim to fAtigue us with the menace of it. He calculates that the exaltation and alacrity of (pink. which the threats of invafion have hitherto produced, will be fucceeded by laffitude and liflleffnefs. In this he will be com pletely difappointed. The country will not (offer it felf to be molefied by falfe alarms, any more than it will inJulge in a falfe fecurity. The plans of defence adopted by the Government have been judicioufty weighed. and all the parts of the raft machine are well combined : the fpirit of the country fecoads them, and when the occafion arrives, it will not be wanting in fuitable exertion. We fubjoin fame private letters received by the Mails : HANSIMCIN, Sapy. ;3.—We have here nothing flirting, and are almoß Weary of even forming con• jeenres concetning tbc Rate of polities. We look forward with Come apprebenfion to winter, when we ;hall fevercly feel the effects of the blockade, in the want of coals firm England ; the filar refiners can. uot proteed without a (apply. Whatever hopes foam people's interet may lead them so entertain of %be Speedy evacuation of Hanover bl the French, it does not Teem very likely that fuck an event is very near at hand. This very morning I myfelf (poke to a French Gentleman, enjoying a confiderable place under the Government, whom I have known a long time, and who has this morning returned from a vifit to General Moartaa, at Hanover. He Paid, there was very little probability of the French leaving the Eleaorate, and that their force there was now ftronger than ever, being not lets than 40,5000 men. SEPT. r6.—We have news here from Leghorn, of the z9th Augult, which Rate, that the Arnants, with the affillance of the Beys in Upper Egypt, have taken Cairo for the fecund time. The laft loiters from Conflantinople do not (peak of this event. By a Courier who pallid in great hafte through this city from Lifbon, on his way to Peterfburgh, and who is the third that within there few weeks paft has taken the fame route, private advice: have been re ceived by an eminent commercial houfe here.zhat that country is in the greateft danger of a French inva fion. General LASII RS had prefented feveral notes to the Prince Regent, in which he made the molt exorbitant demands in the name of his Government; deGred the (butting of the Portuguefe harbours againft the Englifh ;—and exaeled the molt extrava gant pecuniary fubfidies, together with a certain number of fhips of war to be employed againli Eng land. Prince Regent. however, is faid to have refuted there firecours, on which account an invaGon of that kingdom was hourly expeaed. The Cabinet of Madrid had in vain exerted all its influence with the CHIEF Consul. to diffuade him from this purpofe. Letters of the r rth inftant, received here from Paris, (tate that Axons au. inftead of repairing to the command deigned for him in the Army of Eng land, had &dually At out from Paris in great hafte for the Span& frontier. He is to demand of Spain an immediate loan of 30,000,000 francs, a corps of to,soo men, and twenty (hips of war of different rates and Gzes, to be employed in the expedition againft England ; in cafe of a denial, he is immediately to enter the Spanifh territory with the troops left at his difpofal. The French have completely fitted out two privia• leers, each carrying twelve guns, and fine them from Harbourg to Stadte, whence they are to drop down towards Cuxhaven. Their intention is fad to be to get into the North Sea, for which reafon their mo tions deferve all the vigilance of the &Mb cruisers. Yefterday morning his Maims , . sanded b . y Sir WM.

The PRINCE of WALES, WC •re happy to Rate, was on Saturday perfealy recovered from his late indif pofition. which was a painful bowel complaint. The Portuguefe Ambaffador, accompanied by his Secretary. had a long interview with the Earl of Sr. VINCENT on Saturday, after which his Lordflzip left town for his feat Dear Brentwood. Difpatches were lea night forwarded from the Se cretary of State's Office to Portfmouth, to be fent on board the EXCELLENT, Of 74 guns, Capt. SOTHILION, for Sir ALiz. BALL, the Englillt Miniller at Malta; and alto for Gibraltar, addreffid to the Commanding Officer. Difpatches were this morning received at the Ad miralty Office from Admiral CORNWALLIS, dated off Ufhant. Sept. 23. We do not learn that they bring any news of importance. Yeflerday the Earl of MoillA arrived in town from Margate. The Earl and Countefs of Balastsr alto arrived in town from Brighton. Letters from Hamburgh Rate, that the French had fitted out two (mall vcllels on the Elbe, for the pur pole, as was fuppofed, of attacking the Englint gun boats down the river, in which cafe there was little doubt that they would have Teem to repent their te merity. Two amillt veffels cruise la the Elbe to keep the peace of the river. The blockade of the Elbe produces the greaten dinrefs at Hamburgh. The journey of Mr. Ltsron thither, it was hoped, might tend to facilitate the re. notation of the commerce of that place, of which •we fee little prof - pee while the French continue in pol feilion of Hanover. The French have no oblation to allow goods to pal's up the Elbe to Hamburgh. being very glad to receive the dues paid at Stadte. A great quantity of hemp and other naval Rotes have arrived at Ham. burgh for the French. for which they are looking out for conveyance to France and Holland. The following is a copy of a letter, addrelred by his Itnyal Highnefi Momenta, to his BRITANNIC Maj airy.

CALCUTTA, FEB. ts, The pat age to this Town up the Hoogley is at firfl firikingly romantic, then rendered fplendid by the profufion of villas, which cover each fide of the river, infinitely fuperior in every refpeß to thofe on the banks of the Thames. The porticoes, here called yaraisdat, give a magnificence to the houfes, Which is, probably, equalled in no part of the world ; and the whitenefs of the flucco chunam is finely contralled with the dark green of the mango. The climate here, at this Ihafon, is very fimilar to that of England in fummer. The evenings are at !call as damp and foggy. Calcutta is very confider. able in extent from the (pace between the houfes.— The population is about 70w,000.

Lord Wittaittr was ornamented with his Englilh and Turkil (tars, and feated on his Throne of State. He maintains the dignity of his high tia• tion with more pomp and magnificence than his pre decetrors. In this country this fyilem is founded on the hell policy, as it is confouant with the Wells cf the native powers, and throws a beam of awful ra diance on the charaOer of the GoviamoveGuseat.

Among the company was Lord Vatearia, Ina arrived from England. whom his Excellency not only received with the greatett cordiality, and introduced to every perfon of refpeaability, who have lice 'liked hin a but has 'strayed of his readinefs to give him letters to the Courts °fall the native Princes, and to give hire a fuitable effort to Agra and Delhi, in his fcientifie and biaorical tour through India.
