Letters from Bantry Bay (late, that the fquadron lying there is about to proceed to fca on a two months cruize. Dutch Journals up to the 7th inflant arrived left night. We are lorry to find by letters from Malaga, in thefe papers, that Co late as the 15th ultimo, the malignant fever had not abated ; on the contrary, it was every day becoming worfe : trade was entirely at a (land in confequence, and the people were quite at a lofs what fteps to purfue. There journals prefent feveral interefting articles on the invafion. One article on this fubjeCt, ex traCted from a Paris paper, is curious : It Rates that the number of boats neceffary to carry into effeCt the attempt of invailon is already prepared, at leall in different quarters, and the °Ned now is to get them afrembled in the ports from which the expedition is to be undertaken. They confefs this to be attended with difficulty, when the boats have to proceed by tea to join the depots. One of the papers fuggefts as the only remedy for this, that the boats fhonld coaft along from place to place, under the protettion of land batteries. This, indeed, gives a very corre& idea of the formidable armada by which we are to be attacked. Their Eddy is in the protection of land batteries ! Bo AAAAA TR is inceffantly occupied with the projea of invafion, and amufes hirufelf daily with manceu wring boats on the Seine. The Dutch Government have adopted in fubflance the fame modifying regulation, refpetling neutrals touching in England, which the French Government lately iffued. Parris, Ocrossa 3o.—This day the CHM CONSUL repaired on horfeback to the dock of the Invalids, and that near the Champ de Mars, where he went on board molk of the gun•boats and other velccls.— He viewed with particular attention a new kind of oars invented by Citizen Maactraart, and canted a trial to be made of them : as they feemed to increafe the velocity of the veffels, he expreffed hie approba tion of them. Letters from St. Malo Rate, that fix flat bottomed boats, four tt anfports, and twn gun-boats. from Brea, have entered that barbpur in light of an Englifh frigate and a cutter. This divir:on on its paffage was attacked by an Englifh cutter, but the latter met with fo warm a reception, that fhe was obliged to fheer off. In the courfe of a few days 5o veffels will be ready at St. Maio for the expedition. Vice- Admiral Baur ET will loon proceed thither to be In fpeflor General of the Marine. The Ftasr Consul. has recommended three new Candidates to the Cor fervative Senate; among whom are BOISEY D'ANc Las. .h: Tribune. and LE BIM. Rocir morn, brother of the Third Conful. Nov. t.—Though orders have been fcnt to Tome of the Prefeets, where the building of fiat bottomed boats has not yet been begun, to filfpend their pre parations, it mull by no means he imagined that any relaxation has taken place in the meaftrics adopted againk England, for both here and in all the different lea ports, the boat builders are inceffantly employed to complete the vcffels already on the ftocks,and which it is fuppofed, will be fully ruff cient for the intended invaficin. Two new boats were this day I runehed from the quay of the Invalids ; and another, in which a detachment' of the Life Guards had embarked, per formed various manceuvrer. One of our Journals contains the following obferva tions on the expedition againfi England: if It is true that the land troop, in France can cafily be affembled, but the great difficulty is to unite our naval force. If we fuor •fe that the general places of rendezvous arc Dunkirk, Doulogne, and Calais, all the veils provided on different parts of the c:;att, from Bayonne to Holland, mull ultimately prriceed thither, and if 'hey fall in with any of the Engliffi fquldrons mutt either fight their way, or find means to elude their attack, which may he done in the fol. Inwing manner : As a great part of tl.c ci, , al/ is dc• fended by batteries and forts, as loon as the flotilla diteovers the crew"-, our veffels, as the.: are weaker than the Er 4; lifh, moll endeat••tur to run in under the piotciclion of the ha:terie•, and place themfelves in f uch a rti•ion as is he'l to oppofe the enemy, v h will then be obliged to give up the the fame pur.ccuvrc mud be reieated the nett day, and Co on till the veffels have reached the place of their deaination. In this manner feveral fmall fquadrons have already formed a junction in fpite of the enemy, and at the fame time our foldiers and failors are exercifed in the neceflary manoeuvres. " When the different diva - tons are united, the peo. pie mutt be daily exercifed till the moment arrive when, in the courfe of fix hours, they can land fifty thoufand men on the banks of the Thames. We do not yet know the real (tate of our force in the differ. ent harbours, and if we did know it, it certainly would not be proper for us to difclofe it, but on the Bth of °dot= it was hated at London that we had at Dunkirk zoo boats completely ready and manned, at Oflend 150, at Boulogne sc, at Calais 70 —at Dieppe, Fecamp, and Blankenburg 50, at Flufbing se, and at Helvoetfluys 60. If we fuppofe that the Englifh had correct information, our navalforce mull have fence been confiderably increafed by the boats and veffels built in the interior." BRUSSELS, OCT. 31.—During the courfe of Lit week more than 200 pieces of cannon of different ca libres, with a proportionate number of waggons la den with ammunition and artillery Bores, arrived at Louvain from the magazines of Mentz, Tkionvilk, and other places on the Banks of the Rhine. All there warlike inftroments will be put on board vet - - leis ready for that purport, and conveyed to Ant werp and °Rend. FLUSHING, OCT. 26.—This morning the 21 11 de mi brigade of French troops, which arrived here two months ago, and the tooth demi brigade, which ar rived lark week, were affembled at the Lands Dok, where they were incorporated according to the new organization of the French army, and formed into four battalions, making the alit regiment of the line. Miran 'sou ao, Ocr• :B.—On the 36th, at noon, two (hips laden with rice, were taken by an Engla armed floop, under the batteries of Zoutelande. Fiscus, Nov. t.—ln the fitting of the Legiflative Body of this day, a meirage was read from the admi• ' niftration of the States ref - peeling an alteration in the Proclamation of July 5, which, for the purpofe of promoting the interefts of commerce, dates as follows : I. All fuch ocutral veffels as are laden with iron, Northern tins- ber, and otba articles =diary for Rip bulling, and which can- not be procured Cram the North, than be admitted into the bar boars of thhi Republic, without being provided with the certificates mentioned in the fecund article of the laid Proclamation.

IV. That in general all artieks *which cannot be confidered as coning originally from the kingdom of Great Britain, or from any of Its colonies, may be brought into t►e harbours of this Republic, the above Proclamation of the sth of July in other refpedts, Rill remaining in force. MALAGA, Ocr. t z.—All trade is here at a Rand, in confequence of an infectious diftemper which broke out here a few day s ago, being a kiwi of putrid fever. note attacked by it either die or recover in the courfe of eight days. At prefent, however, it is confined to a few lirects in the fuburbs, called Perchel, inhabited by mariners, and to a few (hips in the harbour : the latter have been obliged to go out into the Bay, and All communication with them has been intercepted. A vele' provided for the purport is fent out to them with phyficians and neceffary medicines. In the mean time every precaution has been taken to prevent the difeafe from fpreading to the city which, thank Gon, is at prefent free from the inleftion. Some Dabilh or rather Swedifla (hips have elcap. ed the infection, Captain KARTEN, however, return ed, in confecptence of himfelf and mate being lick, but having received fome medicines from Captain }CAME, he has again failed, though the wind is con trary; Captain Hos s STA DT, who has been attacked by this difeafe. as well as his mate and twa feamen, is not able to put to lea, and on this melancholy occa lion we do not know what meafures to purfne. OCTODAR 15.--Olar wretched lituation becomes ' every day work, and nothing is fcen but the removal of the lick and burying the dead, particularly on board the (hips; fizteen DAnilVand Swedi(h matters of velicels and forty tailors have already fallen a facrifice to the infalion ; all communication with the her. hour is intercepted—no one is fuffered to approach :he (bore, and what is moll regretted is, that very little affiitance can be given to the tick. On board the national Ihip, commanded by Captain Smoot, the Mate and Carpenter have died ;—Captain FURICKS has Lott two men ;—nearly half the inhabitants have fled from the town, and all bufinefs is Jul ',ended. God grant that this misfortune may loon be at an end, as I hope it will, fence the cold feafon leas already commenced. Captain HOF FiTADT is Rill here, but has 101 l tour rum, and is himfcif hardly recovered ; he hopes, however, loon to put to lea. Yellerday the Bank returned the anfwer to the Molders of Onmium, whn had applied to the Brnk to make the earring and lalt payment in December.

The total by the Jamaica Mail of yellerday were not delivered out till after our Paper was at Prefs. By the latex account received at Jamaica from St. Domingo, our fquadron continued very clofely to blockade the harbour of Cape Francois, in which were three French frigates, an armed brig, and about 40 fail of merchantmen ready to take the fira oppor tunity of failing. The French in St. Domingo are in the moll wretched (late, as will appear from the following, which has been communicated to us from a moil re lpettable quarter: EXTRACT OF A LATTER FLOM FORT•AO•FEINCE, DATED ESTII joLY, 1803. Notwithilanding all my exertions to withdraw from hence, I have not been able hitherto to effeEt it, and now it is accompanied by all the difadvantsges of an evacuation. The White Population of the Illand is in a were ofttlerableftuatiox those (d. e rqribed This town is hemmed in on all odes, and nothing but the very greateß exertions can procure forage for the few cattle that remain. Pro duce in this part of the Wand may be confidered as out of the queftion. It appears that the Brigands, joined by a great number of the white inhabitants, had inverted the Cape, and their united force was ellimated at not lefh than eighteen thoufand men. Their Chiefs had fent a difpatch to the Britifh Admiral, corn. manding on that Ration, informing him, that if he would (apply them with ammunition,they would imme diately attack the Cape, and on obtaining poffellion of it, furrender it to the Britifh arms. The propofal was forwarded to the Governor and Council at Jamaica ; 1 but the Taft advices are filent with refpeet to the re. Cult of the application. Fort Dauphin is Rated to have fallen into the hands of the Blacks. General ROCNAMBEAII, in one of his forties, had taken three of the Brigand Chiefs, whom he threatened to" roan alive." The French, it was fully afcertained, had already loft in their conteßs with the Blacks, and by the climate, upwards of 25,000 men; and the Brigands continued to put to death, without dillinc tion, fuch of their opponents as were fo unfortunate as to fall into their hands. The Soaks sloop of war, Capt. ROBIRTII, on the sd of Augull captured t s veffels which were coming out of Jeremie. and carried them into Jamaica... — They were bound for Cape Francois. Several other captures have alfo been mad:. A frigate belonging to our fquadron on the Ja maica Ration, is Paid to be loft off St. Domingo : ' crew raved. The General Mnrean French privateer, of 25 grins, and 2 so men, is captured, and fent into Port Royal, Jamaica. The following intelligence was communicated by Captaia ZACAIARIAM Moons, of his Majeny's flip BLAMCIII, convoy to the Duke of Kent, through the Windward Paffage, September, 1803. " Seer. co.—Boarded the American brig William, Review Coos, mailer, Cape Nicbola Mole S. E. (even leagues, lying a hull, in the greaten chltrefs.— She had been taken by a brigand barge, on her voy age from New London to Port au Prince, and carried into Petit Guava, where they took out her cargo, lumber, flour, &c. &c. and gave them a cargo of coff..e out of the French llores. All the Whites in that part, they laid, had been murdered, with cruel ties attached to their families beyond the power of language to defcribe. As foon as her cargo was (hipped, (he was ordered to fea, and came out the night the Bsawcas fell in with her. There were only five perfons on board, four of whom had the fcv,:r, having buried the mailer, mate, and fix men. None of the furviving crew knew any thing of navi gation. She had but half a fuit of fails; the Bri gands having (tripped her of all her furniture for their privateer,. Capt. Muuns relieved her, as far as in his power, with bark, wine, &c. and (he limped her courfe fn. an American brig in the north weft quarter, which the &mac He had pallid a few hours before, and was running over the fame ground. " On the aid of September, at day light, chaced a French felucca, which had fome French families, who were in the greaten sharers, not having a mar fel of bread. One of the paffengers, a confiderable Planter, had made his efcape from the Brigands, who had then poffeffion of his wife, and had murdered two of his children before him. They had efcaped that night from the Brigands, and were bound to Barracou, in Cuba : gave them their veil - el, with as much as they could eat and drink. They informed us the Brigands had poffeflion of Fort Dauphin. Sept. 24.—Chafed a French fchooner: fhe proved to be from Cape Nichola Mole, with Madame , and fix fervants, in the mon deplorable fitua tion, bound to Barracou. We learned, through a German Gentleman who was a paffenger on board, and had kit Cape Fraacois ten days before (and who had refided there three months), that the actual lofs of the French, fince the an veal of their armament, was 33,t0n men, by the climate and the Brigands' war. An Englith frigate had run on (hone, about a week fince, off the Capri and finding it impoffible to get her off, the was burnt by our fleet wider the command of Captain Loma. There a:e three frigates and 6o merchant (hips, with their cargoes, blocked up by the above (hips, at the Cape ; and 2500 troops, with as many mili tia, then in the Cape town. The yellow fever raged dreadfully among the whites in the ifland. Gave them their (choosier, towed them so miles, and left them in fight of thc:r pert." NAUTICAL INTELLIGBNCE. MAILS THIS DAY.—Wind S.

Ott Saturday the sth inn. on the (hilt of wind to fouth eaR the gun boats came out of Boulogne, eighty-feven in number. The Rats and IMMORTALITS, kn. mediately after their coming out, Rood in and gave them feveral broadfides. Their fire was mat warmly returned by the gun boats and batteries, innumerable (hot from which went over our (hips, but not a man hurt; one (hot liruck the foremall of the Isemorra. LITF, and wounded it Co much that (he has beta obliged to go to refit. The mortar batteries at Bon. logne have now got fuels marks laid down when (hips come into the bay, that they throiir their (hells with full as much precifion as their (hot. One (hell in tilling abfolutely grazed the fide of the Rata:masts, and burn fo immediately on Rriking the water that it threw the water upon the quarter deck. The gun-boats all went into harbour again in the evening, and did not come out on Sunday or yefterday. We were dote in with Boulogne yells:day. It mull mor tify the Film. CONSUL amazingly to find that the long wilted for equinottial gales have not driven a fingleveffel of ours off their Ration. It bas blown a fair wind for him fince the' tft Oftober, and a heavy gale all the time. There were yeaerday of ours do& in with Boulogne, two ft igates, a (loop of war, font brigs, and tarn cutters. Indeed they never are four miles off the coal'. Should the gun boats okapis their vigilance, we have off Dunyenefs, which is the moll likely, indeed the only place they can come to from Boulogne, the R•ISONASLI, SULPHUR, Fleet*.

Early this morning a veld was diainelly ken on the Goodwin Sands in great . diarefs, which alined im mediately went to pieces. Many conjeaures a e formed refpeding her, and, melancholy to relate, every perfon on board periflied. It was at firll Paid the was the MILDROOK fchooner, Lieut. STACK, but that veffcl has fince arrived file : others elan that the was a gun brig, and fume take her to have been a merchant brig : in all probability we (ball be able _to akertain her name before the next poi. At pre fect the breakers are fo high, that the Deal boats cannot get near enough to find out what the is. About two o'clock in the morning, a cutter from Guernfey, having on board a vail number of tubs of fpirits, fwamped at the North End, while endeavour ing to land ber cargo, and it is the general opinion. in confequence of the high furf and prodigious (Cl rolling in, that the mutt inevitably be dathed to pieces. Almoft all the veffels in the Downs have clad from their anchorage. It may appear extraordinary, but it is a GO, that the CONFLICT fired feveral broadfides at her vire before the was taken, without touching her. No doubt was entertained by our men that the car• nage was great, our (hip being very near at the time. On a dole infpeaian it, however, appeared, that not one (hot had hit the boat r and the failure arofe from her being fo very low in the water. The enemy did not fire a Ihot. The prize matter 1.0 - 4 that when they entered UT, they found all on board, with the exception of the Captain and two or three others, very lick.
