FRENCH PAPERS• AMSTERDAM, Dec. 30.—Among the number of English ships lost or sunk off the Texel are the fol lowing:—The Hero, of 74 guns, crew lost; the Centurion, of 8 carronades, crew lost ; the Grase-1 hopper, of 32 guns, and a crew •f 120 men, and 16 passengers, ran aground, was afterwards got off, and conducted into the Road—the pilot only pe rished ; the 4rchimedcs, a transport brig, lost, 20 of her crew saved; the Flora transport, of 359 tons, laden with 1500 barrels of powder, and 940 c h es t s o f arms, each containing twenty, sunk, a part of the crew has been saved, a great number of the chests of arms are expected to be recovered ; the &mina, of three-hundred and fifty tons, returning in ballast, the captain and 17 men drowned; the Beekman, from Baltimore, returning in ballast, sunk, the Cap tain and thirteen men lost ; a brig sunk, between Campea and Bergen—in all 147 men have been saved. TEXEL, JAN. 3.—The sea continues to throw up on our coast the wrecks of the English ships escorted by the Hero. Nine hundred barrels of powder have already been collected. A great number of cables ' and arm-chests have like Wise been found. The English never suffered such losses at sea as they base this slimmer, All are the result of the continental system ; for it was the wish, in defiance of the sea son, to remain in the Baltic; and letting their con, ♦oys land their goods upon the Swedish and Danish coasts, that has caused theta such considerable losses. It is reckoned that since the first of November, the English have lost five ships of war, of which two were three deckers ; three frigates, and five or six brigs, independent of a great number of merchant, vessels. The Monitcur of the 9th of January, contains the following notes in reply to an article, which appear ed in the Courier Newspaper, relative to landing fo reign soldiers disabled in the British service, upon the Continent Note 1. " There is nothing infamous in all this but your conduct. The whole world has reproached you with the famines you caused in India, in consequence of which millions of men perished. But these men were strangers to your religion ; they had not pro digally shed their blood in your service, and were not covered with wounds received under your colours. Who would have dared to suppose, if the inquiries ordered to be instituted had not proved it, that a ci vilised Christian nation, which boasts of the libera lity of its laws, of the generosity of its administra tion, could have braved infamy on this point, that 3000 soldiers, mutilated in your service, should have received for recompense banishment from England, a guinea, some tattered clothes, and be landed upon I the Continental soil , by precipitating them into the water up to their middles ?—Among these people were some unfortunaate men, who, through circum stances, and the vicissitude of the times, had aban doned the flags of their countries to s v^ England —men, who by the laws of their country were sub : ject to the punishment of death, by landing on their natal land; and vet you banished them from Eng land for the services you had received from them; i you threw. them into the hands of a Government they had betrayed, and placed them, as may be said, in its power. The greater part of these individuals are Aus trians, Bohemians, Prussians, Westphalians, Hanove- Idans, and Russians. After having served England for five, six, and seven years, England withdraws her hospitality, and throws them, abandoned, far from from their country- without succour—without means iof subsistence, upon her enemy's shores. The.men thus thrown upon our coasts, in the first ten disem barkations, in number about 1000, were arrested ; they filled the prisons of Amsterdam, Embden, and Wesel. The inquiries instituted brought to light atrocities to which credit scarcely could be given. Some object was supposed to be in view—some poli tical _system, or some dark intrigue ; but at last it was irrefragably proved to be only owing to that bad faith and atrocious avarice which characterised the Government of Carthage. The French Government ordered these wretched men to be set at liberty. The Istrangers received provisions and passports to return jto their own country ; although they had served the enemy, they were men! The French pardoned the :crime of their having carried arms against France, and recommended them to the Mayors of the Communes, in ! order that they might be furnished with subsistence. —No doubt, it is easy to say, that this is an infamous falsehood; but there remain 3000 of these victims who have arrived in Bohemia, at Vienna ) Saxony, Westphalia, Hanover, and different towns in Prussia. There exist the inquiries instituted by I the municipalities of Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and Embden-3000 men, scattered upon the Continent, I live and are a monument of the infamy of the Eng lish Government." _ _ _ _ _ M. Constantin, to be got ready, and sail in such a direction as to cut off the retreat of the enemy's flotilla. As soon as the English squadron perceived this movement, a ship, two frigates, and a brig, sailed to disengage their boats ; the brig, supported by the ship at p trifling distance, fired upon the gun-boat,, which briskly replied to it feVerni times. I)uritt this time M. Constantin attacked the largest of the enemy's boat.. near his own vessels, and almost un der the fire of the brig, and took it. The gun-boats surrounded the other four, which they took after a very great resistance. Night, and very stormy wea_ ther, having immediately succeeded this expedition, my boats have been dispersed upon different points of the coast, where I see them, but cornice by this courier, transmit your Excellency all the details of this affair; I reckon, uevoirtheless, that 100 1;114-,it_ ers, all picked men of the English squadron, at must have been taken in it. 1 beg your Excellenti to accept my profound respect. (Signed) "JACOB. " Gommand..at of the paval forces of his Majeity. TO TICE SAME, DATED ISLE 1 9 AJZ, DEC. 30. " MONSEIGNEUR,-1 Lad the honour, in my let. ter of the 28th inst. to inform your Excellency of the taking of five boats belonging to the English squadron, which supposed were manned by 100 men ; there were 118 on board them. A violent gale of wind, which commenced immediately after this affair, having dispersed my boats, I did not know the details till last night ; I hasten to transmit theta to your Excellency. The Enseigne de Vaisseau, Constantin . , commanded a boat with 22 men, with which be attacked one manned with 30, at the inn. ment the enemy's division, which rallied, was corn. ins to protect them. This Officer had engaged with his swivels and muskets, but fearing the enemy should escape him, he ordered him to he laid on board. The English, confident in their superiority of number, rushed to the boarding; but M. Constantin • jumped among and drove them to the opposite side of their boat, which this movement caused to fill ; tha • French gained their boat, and succeeded in sating 26 men, one of whom was a volunteer, and an other a surgeon. The Officer commanding ttni boat was killed, and throe men dangerously wounded. During this action, the three gun-boats attacked the four other boats, all armed with carronades, swivels, ' and muskets. The Lieutenant de Vaisseau 4uro, keep. ing at the same time in check the English brig which endeavoured to protect the boats, took one with 18 men, two of which were volunteers; the three others, annoyed by my boat,- commanded by the,volunteer of the first class, Porgi, pierced with bullets,and nearly sinking, arrived upon the coast, where he puisued and made prisoners the crews, ameiniting to 'seventy men, one of whom was en Officer, and five volunteer:. The result of this affair, Monseigneur, is the taking of five boats and 118 men two of which are Officers, eight volunteers, and one surgeon. Oct of this ' number one Officer and four sailors have !pea killed, two others died immediately after, and five remain dtrizerously wounded. It is likewise to be supposed, - that in *the boats pierced with bullets, there must have been some men killed, who were thrown into the sea. (Signed) " JACOB." ..... Notc 2.—" If these individuals were but 3 or 4, the authors of this infamous wickedness might pre test" to be ignorant of it; but they amount to 30(X) men—they spread over all the provinces of Europe. The precaution has been taken to send them to their municipality, with an invitation to the Administra tion of their country to make inquiry. Thus France, Italy, Germany, &c. will have convincing crimes unparalleled among nations. All these 3000 men whom we interrogated, have served England,—the least three years, many twelve years. In one of these clandestine disembarkations, sixty men were drowned. We will print the interrogatories and roofs of this crime, with the result of the inquiri e s made in different countries, from Hungary to Russia." REPORT TO MIS EXCELLENCY TILE MINISTER OF NAP! DEC• 23.—Letters front Sicily, at last, announce the arrival of Lord klantinck at Palermo, and of his speedy return to Messiqa. AMSTERDAM, DEC 28.--Our coasts are covered with wrecks ; nothing is to be seen but barrels of powder, chests of arms, and similar objects. It ap- pears that 30 of these vessels were .►aden with war like stores. We estimate the loss of the t nglish at more than 3000 men ; and consider the destruction of more than half the convoy of 250 sail, as certain,(ilfonitcur, Jan. 2.) THE POLICE. TO THE EDITOR OF STATESMAN. MARINE. " Road of Isle d'Aix, Dec.4B, 1811. " MONSSIGNEUI4-1 have the honour to inform your Excellency, that yesterday, at nine at night, a small convoy, coming from Rochelle, was pUrsued by five boats of the English squadron, which obliged these coasters to take shelter close in shore, in the bay comprehended between Rochelle and Isle d'Aix. —The wind.was pretty fresh from N. to N. W. and' there was soon a high sea. I quickly formed the pro... ject of cutting off the retreat of these five boats ; but in order to induce them to advance, I made no move- ments in the boats with which I intended to attack them till they had evidently compromised themselves, and this apparent inattention encouraged them. to advance still farther. I then ordered t the gun-holts 18 6 , 19 1, and 184, under the eQintiend Of M. Duro, Lieut.de yaisseau and four ships' boats under the mien of - - Sin,—lt is most anxiously hoped, that you will never lose sight of the great question of Police, un til some effectual measures are adopted for our pro- tection. Delinde est Carthago ought to be the e'er- lasting cry; until the present system is destroyed. Never were the public more disappointed and dis gusted than upon reading the speeches of our two Ministers upon this subject. While every inhabitant of the metropolis, and indeed of the whole country, is struck with horror at the magnitude of crimes, and the number of criminals prowling on society, our two sapient Ministers, after cudgelling their poor brains for a fortnight, like the mountain in labour, suggest at last two notable expedients, viz. Amend the watch, and increase the rewaels ! Any thing morn contemptibly puerile could not have been suggested by a coal-heaver—the first could never effect a cure, and the second is Ms very rouse of the mil! If any man of common sense had turned his mind to the subject, he. would naturallyhave enquiredw hat is the original eaU , C that has set afloat such swarms of villains on societ, and endeavoured to apply a remedy there ; but Mr. Se cretary RYDER, with conviction before his eyes, that a dreadful flood is coming down, which must inevi tably sweep our houses before it, if not checked and directed into another channel. tells us, with great gravity of face, to putty up the chinks and key holes Of our doors, and then believe ourselves in safet7 ! What childish babble is this ! A Minister- Good Lord!
