Mute, a few days ago, refpeding fume proceedings that had taken place there, which was publicly contradifted by Ad. jutant Commandant GRANDPAIGN s, a paffenger with Capt. Musa, has fince came forward publicly in fup. port of the latter Gentleman's flatement, which he folemnly avers is coned. so I affect," Pays he," that the circumilances of the attempt to fubvert the pre fent Government at the Cape, by Generals CLAUSEL and Tuouvamar, was, aridly true, with this excep tion, that (in addition to the melt of Generals C. and T. and upwards of go others, and that the two cooks of the Commander in Chief and Prefect were executed) ao perfons were hanged at the yard-arm of a frigate in the harbour, on account of the plot. I muff further remark, that Gen. Lacuna was ap pointed to the command of the Army of the North, in the room of Gen. CLIOSIL; and Adjutant Com mandant Bolts was made Chief of the Staff, in lieu of General Thiourea's.. I forbear to mention any account of the coffee concern, Co advantageoully car tied on by Generals Ct.ausat. and THOUVIIIIIT, with the Brigands. lam forry to fee the remarks of ap peal to the good harmony in commercial relations, which the Adjutant-General pointedly hints at, as exiting between this country and France. It is an infult to American feelings (at 'call Co far as relates to our countrymen at the Cape), or elle they would not have flogged three American Captains on the molt frivolous pretences, one of whom was Captain Buttner, belonging to the port of Norfolk, Vir ginia."

An Englifh (loop, with thirteen men, which ap proached too near the batteries and works on the coat of Zealand, has fallen into our hands. She belonged to. the Climax"-, of to guns, and had been fent to reconnitre the man. The Englilh, who were brought Into Flnfhing, lamented efpecially being made pit. fours at fueh a time, as they were deprived of the honour of affifting in the defence of their country. Dac. 3.—The molt aaive preparations have hi therto been making throughout our Repnblic,'for the expedition againft England; all the canals are ea vered with tranfports of provifions and ammunition, proceeding to Rotterdam and Amfterdani, as the expeditions were expelled to fail from the Texel and from Helvoetfluys, or from Fltifhing ; Rear Admi. ral Uat: gave redoubled aftivity to all thofe preparations by his pretence. We have, however, been allured, that the expedition againft England will be deferred till the Spring ; which before we bad believed would certainly take place by the middle of this month. SffzDEN.

BANKS or Tilt Mania, Dee. 3.—lt appears, fay letters from Vienna, that this capital will become the centre of important negotiations, between the Mini tiers of the great Powers of Europe. The Court of Vienna, in conjunition with Ruda and Warta, has offered its Mediation, and prefented a new plan of Peace to the Belligerent Powers, which, it is earscaly wither!, may be accepted. _ VISION*, Nov. 3o. —According to intelligence re ceived hire, the Imperial Garrifon of the Cagle of Oberhaus, near Perms, has been forced, by a Bava rian detachment of fuperior Rrength. to quit that Cagle; in confequence whereof, his Inssases Ma• ; Lary has ordered the troops, Rationed on the con fines of Bavaria, to advance. Orders have alto been fent to feveral regiments, quartered in Bohemia and Anaria_, to march to the above frontiers. the whole ltrength of which amounts to 12,000 horfe and 27 battalions of foot. There troops are to he divided , into two corps, one of which is to be commanded in Upper Aulhia, by Lieutenant Field-Matto' Prince Scawaarsasaitc, and the other in Bohemia, by Field-Marihal Lieutenant Prince Joan Louvres arm. There Commanding Generals have already both fet out for their places of deßination. Of the garrifon of this capital, the regiments of foot, Char. falzburgh and Kerpen, and the regiment of horfo, Prince F5BOllllllO, are under marching orders. At the fame time, feveral regiments in Hungary have received orders to advance, in order to form the pr rifon of the city, and other places. A courier has. however, been difpatched by our Court for Munich; the Bavarian Ambaffador re mains as yet here ; nor has the Imperial Ambaffader at Munich as yet been recalled. This occurrence has placed our Minillry, as well as the Antic Council of War, in a Rate of much bale and activity, and produced a Rrong fenfation among the Foreign Miniflers, who have difpatched coarsen and ellafettes to their Courts, with intelli gence of that unespeited event ; yet hopes are Rill entertained, that the difference with Bavaria will be amicably fettled. According to information, which has lately reach ed this capital from Wilna and Grodno, a corps of Ruffian troops is affembling in the environs of thofe places. Praha not being able to pick any quarrel with us direely, has its deputy in the Eleaor of &maim. or rather his Galloilltuninate bfinifiers, who Puffer no opportunity to efcape, of (hewing the petty minds of petty Miniffers in a petty Rate, governed more by the petty paifions of a good but weak Prince, than by the retpeEt due to the head of the Empire, and to the ELICTOR himfelf, as a Member of it.— The trivial difagreements between the cottons-haute officers on the frontiers, are made affairs of Rate; and the deltruaion of convents, the emigration of friars, the daily moral, political, and religious itll3o - in the dominions of Bavaria, if they are nei ther approved of nor imitated in Maria. are regarded as reproaches and intuits to the will of an independent Prince, who depends entirely upon his Wafflers, who depend in their torn upon Proffitt or France, and are as patriotic and difinterefted as either TALLEY• RAND or Hauowsrx. The Grand Duke AJITHOINT was lately elated Coadjutor to the Archduke Cnaasas, Grand Mafter of the Teutonic Order, hereditary for nearly two centuries in the Hoof, of Auftria ; but no (oozier was the elation known, than the illuminatus, M. DB MOUTGLAS Prime Minifter of the ELICTOR of BAVAIM, pert:tided his Prince to proteß again(' this choice, well knowing that fuch protea availed nothing but to Phew the ill-will of a revolutionary neighbour s who, while affeeting refpea for the German conilitution, has invaded the (acred rights of its nobility and clergy ; who. to pleafe France and Profs. has been continually diaurbing the polreffions of the two firit orders in the German Empire, and been meanly tempted by the reduced influence of Aufiria, with coward feel ing. to intik a Sovereign anxious to avoid a quarrel, but fill too fpirited and powerful to Puffer a ferious attack with impunity. We are,however,well acquaint ed here with the intrigues of Boitaraites. Had Eng land yielded to his threats. and Pruffia been able to pertuade the Bourbons to renounce the throne of France, an extra Diet would have been convened. I and his Pruffian Majelly proclaimed Kin of the Romans, at the fame ßomans , time that the Frenc h should decree BONAPASTI Emperor of the Gauls. There intrigues of France and PrulEa, in January laff. our Court has lately difcovered, in confequence of the French machinations, which, in May, tilos ' induced the Ruffian Emperor to met the Pruffian Monarch upon their mutual frontiers. Such were fome of the manauvres of Bavaria. when. WI Sunday, we received the unexpetted news of a numerous body of Bavarians baying attacked our weak garrifon at Oberhans, which, not fufpeeing fuel; an attack, was rather furprifed than overpowered. Although every thing now looks like war with Außria, our po liticians think the Eleaor too prudent to rifle a war with fuck fearful odds again(' him. onlets be is fare of the alEflance of Pruffa and France. Boaaeattee, no doubt, confiders it a good • to attack an enemy lets formidable than t En int. Couriers have been difpatched to Riau'. Proffitt, England, Turkey and France ; although itis well koown that the attack upon Ohethaus was previoolly arranged at Parts, where this tartars is confidered as appertain. ing to the indemnities allotted liy BONarARTO to vans, bet which R utfia, the other guarantee. has jucig. ed as belonging to Aullria. How the Emperor A sexanost will view this new iofradion of the peace of the German Empire ie difficult to fay, although the Ruffian troops are incteaGng upon our and the Pruflian frontiers; and the Ruffian Ambafrador at Munich has feverely remonflrated both again( the late coutlua of the Eledor, and the late partition or exchange treaty between Praia and Bavaria, as dan. gerous to the tranquillity of Germany, and the jute rea of Aullria. Our troops are marching for Ba varia. Four thoufand of this garrifon will let out to-morrow. FRANCS. VA MSC I EN Mt S. Nov. 23.—Lieutenant SMITH, and other officers, who were detained as ' 7 .nglalh prifo. nersatValencienneb,bcing permitted to go at large in the city and neighbourhood, have broke their parole. Them is no doubt but they will tartly adjutt the aff,tir in England. When perfons detained upon their pa role behave in this w.ty, the only expedient that can be retorted to is to put them under lock and key. The Moniker of the fame date contains obfervations on the trade and ready money of England. " May there obfervations," it Pays at the end of that article, which the merchants of the Continent ought never to tote fight of, " May thefe obfervations convince us that almoft every one of thole matters of the dai ries of England, and that Europe itfelf, will loon be able to determine on the event of a peace—whe ther the Englith manufadurers than remain obtfinate, or shall recede from their arrogant pretetsfions." K VISSIA. Sr. PITERSIIIIROK, Nov. is.—A plan has been made,'and is approved by the EMPEROIL, for erecting a bridge over the Neva, near the Summer Garden, to join the Peteriburgh fide to the quarter of the Ad. miralty. The bridge is to be ready in May : the expence is eftimated at 1,:oo,000 roubles. It teems certain that the French Ambatfador will remain here. Nov. 2 Theirbetze IA L MAJESTIES have MOOT. ed to the Winter Palace. The recruiting,juil ordered, will amount to 65,000. A fimilar recruiting than take place every three years in time of peace, to keep np the full complement of 400,000 men. In time of war, the recruiting is to take place every year, as in the Ewsprefs eres's time. The Neva is frozen over. PARLIAMENTARr PROCEEDINGS. HOUSE OF LORDS, FRIDAY, DEC. z 6. Their Loa:Mips met at throe o'clock. In the Appeal Keigliky v. the Eat India Company, Mr. MANSFIELD was NAM! RD the put of the Refpondent. The further hearing of this cautc was deferred nod' Monday next. Mr. Hormel' moon, from the Bank,prefatted, according to their Lordatips' order, an account of the Mies of notes on the 25th of each mouth, diftinguiddng More under 5L VOLVOTIIIII lIIMPTION SILL: Lord HAWKESBURY moved the order of the Day for the fecond reading of the Bill to explain and amend the two Volunteer Adts of the 42d and 43d of his prefent Majefty. Lord SUFFOLK rofe, and addreffed their Lord (hips nearly in the following words My Lords, I do not rife for the purpofe of giving any oppofition to the Bill now before you, but with the intention of (Latin g my ideas as a military man, on the heft means of giving efficiency to a fyftem, of which no one in the kingdom more ardently approves than I do. I regret that the idea which I once threw out for your Lordfhipt.' confederation, and which I fubfequently fubmitted, in a more regular form, to his Majefty's Minifters, I mean the appointment of. a Military Council, has not been adopted. Had a Council of that nature been dtabliffied, much of what I have to trouble your Lordthips with on this evening would have been rendered unneceffary ; for as an Officer of confiderable rant., it would have been my duty to have laid before that Council thole ideas on the bell mode of employing the Volunteer Forces, and providing for the defence of the country, which my experience or knowledge of the fsbielt could fu e ll to me. Of the fpirn by which that fytlem is invigorated and direttled, I, my Lairds, foe one, think fo highly, that, could I, confiftest with the military rant I hold, have accepted the com mand of a Volunteer Corps, I would gladly have placed myfelf at the head of that gallant body of men, who have been fence , (through the kindnefs of the Lord Lieutenant) placed under the orders of my only fon (Lord Andover). That corps, with the advantage of only eighteen days drilling, under my (elf, aided only by a Serjeant and Corporal of Ma rings, difplayed, on their infpeiftion by the General of the diarist/, fuch fteadinefs and precifion, that I fhould have no befitation in leading them againft any troops the enemy could oppofe to them; nor fhould I dread a comparifon between them and many of the bell regiments I have Peen, not even with the brigade of Guards that I commanded in America. I know, my Lords, bow to appreciate the zeal and patriotic (pint by which die great mars of the Volunteers is situated ; I know, that in combating for their Conn try and for the Conftitution, there is no fatigue, no dangers, or no privations which they will not freely encouriter : but I trait, my Lords, that the Govern ment will be cautious not to Cubica fo excellent a difpofition to be unneceffarily haratfed, or called into exercife oftener than it may Nit the convenience of that body. I troll that his Majefty's Minifters will not, for the purpofe of acquiring a difpofeable force, to be difpatched, perhaps, for the recovery of a country reduced almoft to a (Late of defolation (we believe the Noble Earl alluded to the Eleaorate of Hanover), place the Volunteers upon that fyllem of permanent duty, which cannot be done without con fiderably increafing the poor rates, the preture of which is already nearly more than the landed intereft can bear, and to which, in my opinion, my Lords, no additions can be made without in Come meafure en dangering the fafety of the Conaitution. I would, therefore, my Lords, recommed to Minifters to be extremely circumfra in their management of I the Volunteer Syftem, and, above all things not to Aretch the card too rizbt. Having (aid fo meek with regard to that admirable body of men, Ilan now trouble your Lordthips with a few words on the internal defence of the country. I much with. my Lords, to fee a central depot, for botb men sad armi, eftablitbed in tome pan of this Jihad, from whence troops; by the AG - fiance d light carriages, could. in the fiance of thirty hours • be conveyed ta t 'elny part of the coat that mi ght be attack. ed. I would love fuch a depot Aced in Come of the connties that had alfo a great facility Om water c:.f. riage ; Warwickfhire, for example. I believe a fimi far depot upon the fame principle, and for the faint reafons, has been eilablilhed at Athlone, in Ireland. To this depot I would recommend that so or 15,000 men fhould be marched and exercifed for four or five weeks, and that, as loon as they had arrained to a foldierly degree of difcipline, their places fhould be fupplied by others. It was by the introdaDion of this comparatively (mall degree of military 4; fcipline among the national guards of France, animated to exertion by an enthufiaffis excited by every poffible mode, that they overwhelmed the wretched machi nery of the Auftrian fatties. I would alfo recommend. to the ferious attention of Government, the eftabliffi ment of a mode of defence fuggefted in another plate —I mean the ere.aion of Monello towers, fuch ay. , abound in the Wand of Corfica. It is a fait, my Lords, that sone of theft towers was attacked by a Britifh leventy-four, (the Terrible, I believe) corn. manded by Captain Young, who, after kiting a great number of men, and being thrice let on fire by red hot !hot, was obliged to give up the conteft, and re tire from a fort defended only by a Serjeant and s a men, with one gun ; and it was not until after this tower was regularly befieged, according to the ac knowledged principles of the art of war, that it fhb mined. The expence of fuch towers would be very inconfiderable. The principle, my Lords, on Which they are cooftrneed isthis i they are of a circular form, computed of a fuldlantial ftrueure of mafonry, with it at roof, rather a little inclined, and formed bombproof. They generally contain one piece of heavy ordnance, which may be traverfed in every direction. There is afro, my Lords, another part of our Volunteer force ' which I thpuld with to fee con fiderably ftmngthened, I mean the Bilk Corps.”..— Here his Lordftsip was called to order by Lord HOBART, who (übmitted, with very great deference to their Lordffii whether there was any in the thing anal* analogous rations of the Noble Earl .F 0 245, to the Bill t ea before em ? gad SU LK acquiefced in the Noble Lord's idea, and 'mentioned that he had lately received a letter from an Officer of high rank in Ireland, which he would ragmen to read as part of his fpeech, and the infayasat ost communicated thereby, he was cer tain, would afford their Lordfbips such fatisfaftion. That excelkut Officer (related his Lordfhip), Sir Eyre Carte, is a Commander of one of the dillrias in Ireland, aad be informs me, that in a tour of sop miles that he made, he-e-(hete the Noble Earl was called again to order by) Lord HAWKESBURY, who , fuggefted to the Noble Earl, whether it was prudent, se either a poli tical or military view, to render the opinion of a Ge neral Officer public,be the nature of that Opinion stet it may, whether advantageous or unfatidatory. Earl SUFFOLK proceeded, and in a high Amin of panegyric, detailed the Cervices of that excellati Officer in Egypt, and particularly at Alexatdra s where, with ea* men, he blockaded that towns containing a garrifon of z 1,,000 French—(when ha was a third time called te order by) ' • The LORD CHANCELLOR, who lid, that unpleafant as it wits to his feelings, he mull reiriflS for the fake of avoiffil e that confu fi on which would inevitably fault from admiffion of fuel; irrelevant matter, that the Noble peer would adhere to the fubjee before their Lordetips ; which was, the cop fukration of a Bill for the amendment of two Ads relating to the Volunteer fyftem, Wi th which be did not fee bow the Cervices of th at estimable Offteec i i great as they were, could be poffibl connelted. , After a few words, way of apo lo gy, Lord Suf folk concluded his f . Lord GRENV'I obferved, that he meant not on this night to give any oppofition to the Bill.— However &fattive it was, it was now too near tho reeds to give it all the confideration the important maim of - it demanded. His Lordfbip reprobated the crude and balky manner is which Bills of very great moment were frequently drawn up on the four at the occafion in the other Hook, and tratifmitted to their Lordlips fee their concurrence. Them were two Ails for the naiad% of the Volunteer SA tan, both of them teeming with ioeongruities and contradiliions, and here was tithnsitted to their Lord lips a new Bill for remedies chafe variations. Ho condemned the introdaaion of this third Ali, as in adequate to its object, for he meld not wen fee hoer t h e i nc ont i ne n ci es in the Aare of the 4sd and 434 of his Mojeity would be prevented from clothing with each other. By one of them five days drilling was fufficient to exempt a man from (erring in 'the Militia, and so or a 4 days (be defied Noble Lordi to fay which), were nyelfary to obtain exemption from facing in the Army of Referee. His Lord thip pointed out a number of incongruities in tbofe AS', the cormaim of which be earaally ;rapeseed Minifters with the amity of. The prefent Bill be only regarded as a temporary menfere, and be will coamimmullYffircelwded from ingstring any oppo fi tion to it. His Lordlip fpoke very animated lan guage of the excellence of the Volunteer Syttems even a its prelim Rate. Although he would not be guilty of the abfurdity of alerting that the Volun teers could prove a fublitutte for a regular army, yet he would fay, that in aid of a regular army, their Cervices would be incalculable. He would not ciao hefitate to fey, that when engaged on duty of atilt kind, the Volunteers were capable of exertions, and fecuring advantages that no regular forces could poffibly atchieve. Bat there was one error in the (yam, one vice which had crept into the make lion of that body, which could not be too Coon cor rated ; and that was a y to run into Com mittees, and to armor r e me t ael economy of their Corps by the prelim of debate and elation. This difpofitioa lould be immediately melted. If you allow men, with arms in their bands, to recur to deaion in the chaise of dais who are to command them, they am of se de as fokkers ; there is *either efficiency, el/dime s or my of the qualities in them that are required I. aam military force. If they are permitted to debase sad deliberate, they sus foesething waft, they am dangerous, and their ex itance is incompatible with the fafety of the State. It we the introdulioa of Bich principles, the ano maly of a military debating force. that operated the floatation of the ummearay of Frame, and which, in his *Mons and as far as his weak foreight could reach,would inevitably produce the finis main- maces in this kingdom. His Lordfbip wiled to impede Minders with the meeffity vi immediately this dargercas l usces4itutional oldies. Ile Iri P t,
