The day before yeflerday a Ruffian Gentleman airivei in a poft.cliaile and fix, who is faid to have lrought fome very important difpatches. This, coupled with the circumtlance of nine perfons, all (tippled to be above the rank ofcommon Melrengcrs, having arrived within the three laft weeks from Pe teriburgh, has led fome to believe that the renewed mediation of RufEa, to fettle the prcfent difputes, as announced by late accounts, may be confidered as certain. We can only fay that it is poflible, but we fee nothing as yet likely to give it efficacy.— lf Ruflia were to declare its refolution to join in the war againft that party, which might obltinately re fute to lUlen to equitable terms of accommodation, we might indeed promife fomething from its inter ference. Private letters of the zd inftant received yerterday by the Liibon mai', Rate, that at the meeting of the Faftory at that place it was determined, that all the property belrn4ing to the Englifh ihould be immedi ately embarked, there being the ftrongell ground for ap?rehendirg that the negociations between France, Spain and Portugal, would fpeedily terminate in ge neral hoftility to England.—General LASHES, it Teems, had dined 'with the PSINCI REGENT, a cir cumflance quite unprecedented at the Court of Por tugal ; and on the 29th of laR month one of his chil dren was chriftened at the Royal Palace, and the Regent and his Contort were the Sponfors! Other letters Rate in addition to the above, that the BRITISH CONSUL had given formal intimation to the Merchants, that it would be neceffary for them to look after their property, as it was much to be fear ed that the Ray of the Englifh would not be Jong. It is even Paid orders have arrived to fend out 2croo ton of 'hipping for the removal of Britifh property. It is Paid that every perfon connefted with the Govern. ment, fappofed to be favourable to the Englab, either is difmiffed, or will be fo immediately, from office. As there is no doubt of the truth of thefe circum flames, it teems now more probable than ever that part of the French army affembling under Awn. ITAV is intended to garrifon Portugal. Spain of courfe contents to the meafure, and is about to en. gage in open hoßilities againft this country. Indeed, our letters from Gibraltar, received this morning, confider a war with that country as inevitablk. This day a Mail arrived from Hasnbargh. The news from France, by this conveyance, does not come down Co late as the Paris Journals received yeaerday. By this conveyance we have received letters of the t R inn. from Franckfort, with a very important piece of intelligence, which we fincerely hope will loon be conficmed. They Hate briefly that accounts had been received there of the BOMBARDMENT OF TOULON by the Brad's fleet, under the command of Admiral Lord Ns...soa. The particulars were not fully known when the. accounts came away, which only Rate ge- nerally, that it was molt tremendous, and did im men& eamage, not only to the French vefkls in that port, but to the works in the harbour. The. following articles have alto been received by this Mail Si.. PITERSSURGH, SEPT. 20.-..-The Revel and Crn'olladt fleets which were both lying in the Road of Cronftadt have not failed, but gone into the har bour, and are nearly difmantled. Only four unfer v;meable (hips of the line have gone to Revel, to be font there to improve the harbour. On the t4th inft. was the 6rft grand Review near liCranfozelo, at Whi PrinceCOM STAN TIN a and Count BV:t HOYDEN, commanded again(( each other. The admirable difpaition, perfect difcipline, rapid evolu. lions, and beauty of the troops, excited the admira. tion of all judges, and his Imperial Majefty tellified the higheß fatisfaCtion at their good conduft. CONSTAXTIVOPLE, AUG. 3o.—The trade of the Vatk Sea, and particularly of the Ruflivn town of Odetila. which was increafing fo rapidly, begins now to lager much by the maritime war. The Englifh in st,e At-chip:l4g And Mediterranean. take all fhips with corn, bound for French ports, or the cargoes of ' which they at all furped to be likely to arrive there indiveilly. We have lately heard from Tenedos, that 'SO Englifh fquadrun, of on: (hip of the line, three frigates, and four brigs, has taken, almoll tinder the batteries, five Anarizil, one Spanith. feveral Ragu fan, and fume (hips belonging to the Republic of the Seven ((land•.

ABDUL WECIIAB has retired into the defart to colica new troops. _ _ _ The number of houfes deftroyed by the fire of the 18th inflant, near the Ser.:glio, amounts t above 560. The damage is the more confiderable, as that quarter was inhabited almoft entirely by perfons of diflinc• tion. It is fuppofcd the fire was wilfully canted by evil difpofed ptrfons, the enemies of the GRAND Vi za ER. The latter, to appeafe the commotions among the people, has given liberty to feveral prifoners. COPENHACEN ) OCT. I.—His Royal Highnefs the Crown Prince is expated back here from Louifenlund next week.—With the Ruffian lhip Nadelka a packet of vaccine matter has been fent, which is to be ufed in the Kurile Hands. An Erglifli (loop of war and two cutters have arrived in the Sound with a Con voy of r3o merchantmen. HANOVER, OCT. 4.—Yefterday the zd battalion of the 34th half brigade marched from hence, and ano ther battalion from Hameln, into the territory of Gottingen. The occupation of Gottingen and Gott benhagen has taken place, partly becaufe the inha bitants have refuted to pay the war tax, and partly to leffen the burden of the other parts of the country. The Hanoverian legion is encreafed to about Soo men. Nine thoufand great coats have been demanded for the French army. Some French engineers are taking an craft furvey of the EleCtorate of Hanover. Yefterday morning 3o more baggage waggons, with arms, kc. fet off for France. BIRLIN,OCT.4I.—Count SCHULENBURG is returned from Kehnett, and Count HAVGWIT7., from Silefia. The Swedith Ambaffaclor, Baron ENGELSTROM, who is recalled, will fhortly have his audience of leave.— An Alt of Union was figned at Franckfort on the Maine, on the 29th of Auguft, between twelve Ger man Princes, of the third and fourth rank, the objed of which is to claim the proteCtion of France in the rights accorded them. STOCKHOLM, Sarr. a7.—Captain YORK and Mr. TOWNSEND arrived here lately with difpatclies from St. Peterfburgh. COPENHAGEN, SEPT. 13.—Capt. JERSPN is going to the Weft Indies with the frigate Frederickftein, to keep the Englith cruizers in check, wh.), in the ab fence of the Danifli (hips of war, take the opportu • nity of making prize of every thing Danilh they meet THE INVASION. Yefterday we protnifed to lay before our readers the following let ter from Calais on this fubleet. Isla from a perfpo actually ca viled in the bounds. For rations which mutt be fulheiently obvious. we fupprefs a part of It. This letter ferves to thew with what cosidence they counted oo being able to execute their project only two days before the bombardment of the place. " CALAIS, SEPT. 24. _ _ " I may probably pay you a vifit loon, and in a way which I little expected when I !aft quitted your hof. pitable roof. lam attached to the army now col- Idling here to invade you, though I need hardly affure you it would be much more pleating to me to fee you on amicable terms. I think, notwithttand ing the zeal and alacrity manif:ilcd in every depart ment, and the immenfe fupplies Bona 'say' has ob tained for the purpofc, that it will be the end of Au tumn before the gun boats and pinnaces are ready, though they are finithed and completed fin' tea as if by magic : indeed fo anxious are the troops for the expedition, that nothing will keep them eafy, but the expectation of fpeedily embarking. "I fincerely with chat the matter in difpute could be adjufted before the wful and critical moment arrives. The attack is to be very exteufive, and repeated at (hurt intervals by three hundred thoufand men, out of which I think, allowing every poll ble chance for England, that one hundred and fifty thoufand will make gouda landing, while the other half are drown ing or deftroying ; and who can calculate the mifchief that would be done by one hundred and fifty thou land fanguinary men, accuttomed to war and blood fhed, and who are actually bawling like mad bulls to be let lode on England, not fearing tht danger or confequence ! Should I be carried to your quarter, I fhould, forgetting national animafities,endeavour to make myfelf ufefa lam now Your friend expels to be attached to the civil department that is to accompany the army from this place, who are to be engaged in levying contributions for the fupport of the troops, and orga nizing a new form of Government. It is reported here,that after the general fubmitlion has taken place, all who are found exprelfing their difappri.bation of the Conlular Government, are to be tent to France, and from thence to French Guyana. For the fake of my friends in England, I hope Goo Aeuto STY will avert the blow, and bring yc.ur Government to a proper fence of sisfituatien. ;VI-en here, BONAPARTI obierved, that in a Ilion time England would be glad to purchafe a peace at tl.: es pence of Malta, and 211 that the Ltd plundered cudi.r that pretence, but tha; ;hat ratne v.s 411 iv)! bc furfic*ent." GIBLILTAR, SEPT. 5. The darpefore yenerday the MAIDSTONE frigate arrived here from Lord NILSON'S flat off Toulon, in eight days. She repeats the intelligence comm• tied in a former letter [fee Sr,E. of 7th OaFsber] of fume French frigates having cfcaped out of Tun when our fleet was forced off by the wind, and cal.tured two of our tranfports and a man of war fchooner, the REDBRIDGE. lam happy to find that the two former were empty, and of little value. Admiral Cam PBFL L, in the Camnpus, of fio gtms, Captain CON N ; and the TRIOMF H, of 74. guns, Cap. fain Sir R. BattLow, had joined Lord NELSON'S fleet before the MmosroNt , left it. His Lordfltip's force then confined of eight fail of the line. WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 7. In my letter of the zd inilant, [fee the STAR of Saturday 14] I informed you of the capture of a Moorifh corvette, by the American frigate Philadel• phia, which had fent the prize into this place. We have fence learnt, that on the intelligence reaching Tangiers on the 4th infant, Mr. SIMPSON, the Ame rican Conful, was taken out of his houfe at 11 o'clock the fame night and dragged to prifon. On the fol. lowing morning all the other COnfuls had a meeting to deliberate on the line of conduit they ought to follow on the occafion, and applied to have Mr. SIMPSON liberated. This demand was loon after complied with, on their becoming fecurity for his not leaving that country without the confent of the Emperor, till the affair be fettled. In the mean time, the American frigate continues to ail agree ably to her intiruitic.ns, and has again failed from this phase in q'ueft of another corfair, known to be cruizing off Cape St. Vincent. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10. The caufes of the two French veffels, the Timoleon and Prudent, taken by his Majefty's (hip la Rico- LUTIONNAIRE and Birrsaw, under the guns of the Spanith Fort at Cabrita Point, came on for final ar gument and adjudication in the Vice Admiralty Court at this Port, on Monday the sth infkant, when, after an attentive hearing, the Court was pleafed to decree for the reftitu:ion of the laid veffels and their car goes, and ordered that they fhould be fefely con• veyed to the fort under the guns of which the cap ture took place, and there reftored to the claimant on behalf of the KING of SPAIN, or fuch other per ions as fhould Ic duly authorized to receive the fame on behalf of 114 CATiIOLIC MAJESTY.

The accounts recei:zd here this day from Spain are of fuch a holtilc nature, that we confider a war with that country 2.7 inevitable in a Ilion time. In-, deed, I thould not L: furpiized if hoffilities fhould be commenced ir. this quar ter before you receive the prefent letter. The Spaniards have redoubled their exertions to put their w.uks in a Rate of complete repair. Now that they have got home their treat Cure from SOUth America, amounting to upwards of ' fixty millions of dollars, they abfolutely jeer and laugh at us. It is a Common exprefflon with them, that they 'are infinitely more obliged to us than'to their own Government, andindezd it is true--almciff every fhip that had any part of that wealth on board was boarded and (poke to by one or other of our cruizers, and yet they were fuffered to enter Cadiz without any oppofition ! We (hall regret this for• forbearance before long, but France will reap the benefit. WM. WOODFALL. Efq. &miller at Law, has been appointed Chief .li:thee of Cape Breton.—This Gen tleman is the lon r.: the late Mr. WM. WOODFALL. Mr. Secretary Yoace has fent the following letter to the Lord Lieutenants of Counties, dated OS. 5: Mr LoID—As there is reafon to apprehend that his M;Jef ty's Proclamation of the 3IR Auguß, requiring the-Aliens therein deferibed to depart roe realm, within the periods (*tilled in the faid Proclamation, I,aa been difobeyed in many inflames, and that 4lVers Aliens of the defcription therein mentioned Rill continue to reticle in this country, without bating received licences for that purpofe,l am to fignify to your Lord hip his M'sjefty's commands, that you do earaeftly rocomtwend it to the Magiftrates within the county of to enforce the proviaons of the Alien A& of the lift Sefflon, chap. ssj, sgainft an faith Allem Waded in the rail Proclamation, as continue to refule within your county."

A person named Cluney, notorious in the late re. bellion at Wexford, has been taken into custody. Notwithaanding General Dose's orders to the yeomanry to refrain from firing with ball cartridge. in the fuburbs, that practice is itill continued. We are lorry to record an accident which occurred (and to a lady) on Sunday laft, while enjoying the air ors the Grand Canal, who was wounded, in the dirthion from the brick fields in laeefon•ltreet. A gentle:nail walking on the banks of the _Grand Canal, a few mi nutes before, had a providential etcape, a ball havirt&. , whizzed by his head. On Wednefday night laft, a molt melancholy and deplorable accident occurred at Higgart, neat Glenmore, in the county of lililkenny, about fis: miles from Waterford :—The cabbin of a poor la- Itouring man, one Patrick lecfc, unfortunately took fire, when, dreadful to relate, the unhappy mart and his wife, both of whom had been at Waterford on that day, and who, it is fuppofcd, yep: too foundly from fatigue, together with their five chil dren (their entire family) were burned to ashes.—As therewas a quantity of straw and turf in the cabbin, it is probable that a (park from the fire place occa- Coned the diftreffing event. Saturday salt, a melancholy accident happened in J a m e s's.ftreet.—A promifing buy, fon of Mr Judge, of Dorfet Ilreet, having been fent to Mr. Guinness's brewery about fome butinefs, and having obferved a horfe working in the mill, incautiouily leaped up on his back, but in a few minutes got himfelf entangled in the mill work, was thrown off the horfe, and his head ground to pieces. Yefterday morning about eleven c'clnck, her Royal Highnefs the Princefs CHeas.crra cf AVALI.S. in r coach and four, attended by the Countefsot Ecorx, arrived at Carlton Houfe from Black Heath. Mrs. Joansm has, within thefe few days, been de clared the fole heirefs to a gentleman of immenfe fortune, though but little known to the °Ned of h:a bounty. It gives us much pleafure to be able to announce to the public that the Right Hon. J. H. ADDIII arom has applied for Goo pikes and 200 miakets, to arm a corps of 800 men. This is as it ought to be, and we hope loon to be able to date that numerons corps of pike. men are forming in every part of the kingdom. The anfwer returned by Government to the requeit of a naval reinforcement made by the Lord Lieute nant and Provoft of Edinburgh, was, that Lord KIITH had the command of the North Sea dation, and when he thOught the prefent Naval Defence of Edinburgh infufficient, he would increafe it.

The poor man was terribly mangled. having his leg broken, his Ihoulder dillocated, and one eye nearly cut out, betides being otherwife bruit ed ; but the belt furgical aid being immediately pro cured, we are happy to learn that the man is now in a fair way of recovery. Yefterday a perfon was brought from Canterbury in cuftody of a party of the Bnw-ftrcet Officers. He was taken to Mr. Voting's Office, and there examin ed before the ATTORNIY GERERAL, Mr. Under Si.- cretary KING, and Sir RICtI•RD FORD, on a charge of treafonabte practices. After a Ihort hearing, he was remanded into cuftody for a further examination. Wooavrics NV/meas.—We underftaud fome ac counts of a difagreeable nature have been received iii town from Woolwich. The fire which took place there lately has been ftrongly fufpefted to have been canted by incendiaries ; and on Sunday morning lag, a foreigner in the Artillery was taken into cuftody. The following were the circumftances which led to his apprehenfion :—A drummer obferved to a fer jeant, that the perfon in queftion had more letters coaftantly coming to him than to any Officer in the place. This was communicated to the Barrack Mat ter, who ordered the letters to be intercepted; but to avoid ffifpicion, the firft letters, not containing anf thing very ftrorg, were refealed and delivered ac cording to their addrefs. The next yet of letters, however, on Monday, are Paid to have containedfome particulars of a plan for blowing up the place. A fearch was intlantly made, and a large quantity . of powder found fecreted near to the new barrack, wth a train laid ready for explofion. A like plan is faf peeked to hare been adopted in t h e w, t - e n, Some others werearrefied on Thurfday, includingthe drivers of them tillery waggons, whoa: e Cupp .ced to have been concerned in that part of the plan that related to the Warren.
