By the I Tambuigh Mail of the 7th, we are in formed, th:tt a French Officer had arrived at Bre men, with orders for the arrest of all British sub jeas, and the seizure of British property of every description in that place. Independent of this in telligence, we have reason to believe, that the fate of Bremen and Humburgh has been before this time decided. Last night in the House of Com mons, the Ministers, i 1 answer to some questions put by General GASCOIGNE and Mr. DENT, did not contradia the report prevalent m the morning, that both these places have been occupied by the French troops. Mr. ADDINOTO:c observed, that it w.ts not t.) he thence inferred, that our trade with the Con tinent was cut off, as it could not, during the war, be supplied with sugar and other articles, considered of the first necessity, from any other country. Omnium opened yesterday at 2.1; but a repent being cotuit :nanced by persons supposed to possess good information, that the E,IPCKU:t of Rt - s,:tw is become an aaive mediator between this country and France, the discount was reduced to 11. Any hope derived from this source, however, Was damped by the unfavourable int(iligerce re ceived in the course of the day respelling Bremen and Hamhurgh. The Omni= gradually declined, and left off at :IA; and even at this price, there were few purchasers. For our Political relations with the butch, we refer our Readers to his NlaJt.t..r v's Message, deli vered last night to both Houses of Parliament. It is so full and satisfuctory, as to supersede the neces sity of any comment, By a letter from Paris, we are informed, that Colonel A BERCROMBIE, Colonel SMITH, Capta'n SivAtiv, of the Artillery, and several other gentle men, have been sent prisoners to Valenciennes; and also that Lord Etoiri is permitted to,remain at Paris upon his parole of honor; and hay taken Lrml WHITWORTH'S box at the Opera. Sir J. B. DAVIS, who is now a prisoner at the same place, will com plete is sixtieth year in September next. Major Datton, Aid-du-Camp to Prince WM- A.S4 Of GLOUCESTER, who arrived in town on Tuesday from Yarmouth, will immediately resume the command of his regiment. His Royal Highness Prince WILL t A rt of G:.ou- CUTER remained five days, on his return to Favz land, with the King of PaussrA in his camp, where he was highly entertained, and visited by the Queen and all her nobles. A Messenger an-ived on Thursday afternoon from Paris, with dispatches for the Russian Ambassador Here. An ininiediate communication was made by the Russian Ambav,ador to Lord I I.vwxcsaultv. A feet days will, probably, throw some light upon this business; at present all is mere coranre. Dispatches have been received from. Terre Leone, which give a favourable account of the circum stances of that Colony.—One native Chief orris still industriously seeking the means of disturbing its peace, and was endeavouring to gain other Chiefs to Lis views, but had hitherto failed- in all his at tempts, and every where Met with the most discou ra"ing refusals. l'hrough the vigorous exertions, however, of Cap-. tain Day,. the Governor, the Colony had been puti snch'a tiSpe&able state of deferfce as to dissipate, all apprehension of danger from the hostility of the! natives. in consequence of the sense of se cur4,l .4 which had been thus induced, cultivation had reviv-! ed among tin .seitlirs with every. prospeet.of rile; Ctn. • , •-• .* . * •• • • 1.• .

Talkiiand descends !tom the ancient sovereigns the province of Peregord in the South of France. 1f is father, a younger brother, with a small fortune, `destined his son, early in life, for the Church; before twenty he possessed several rich Abbeys, and be 'fore thirty was made Bishop of Autun, much agains "the inclination of the virtuousionis XVI. who had heard that the Abbe de Peregord was one of the most immoral, but insinuating Roues and libertines in France. IThen at College, Talleyrand ...hewed an early genius for intrigues, and a strong propensity to vice and but for the defeet of being lame, he would, after the wish of his governors, have disgraced the Army i..:tead of scandalizing the Church ; because heal ways was as great 'a coward in his private quarrels, as daring when supported in his-publ:c plots ; all his transaZtions, since a Minister, strews an ungenerous coward when backed by power. - The Revolution found him a gamester, a debau c. l .:er, and a bankrupt, without honour, principles or prcbity. He openly intrigued with a married lady and her JON by thi s C a th o li c Li bop was lately an aid _ de-cnaiii to Louis Bonaparte. lu 1781,1, when a Member of the National Assem bly, the gown of the Bishop did not long concea the modern philosopher and the fashionable atheist ; he wa:s one froitort to Lis King and the first Apostate to Lii Relgion ; he soon alike attacked the Majesty of Heaven and the Majesty of the Throne. The 2J of November, 1789, upon the motion of' Talleyrand, the confiscation of the church property in France was decreed ; and such k the incompre. hensible will cf Providtmee, that after years of wars, Murders and crimes, this same man has been lately the disposer of all the church praperty both in Ger. Many and in Italy. This motion to dispose of the property of others, by a person who bad ho property but debts, may be considered as the cruel iOunda• tion in France of .all the consequent confiscations and plunders, as well as the proscriptions of owners of estates, lands, or of money. It has caused the ruin and wretchedness of millions, but it has enriched 'falleyrand and his accomplices. In May, 1; 90, he Was one of the Members of the Diplomatic Committee, headed by Nlirabeau, after whose report it was decited by the National Assem bly, and sandioned by the Xing, ttat France reecune ed ,for ever all conrat:. Since he has become a Re volutionary Minister, he has never concluded a Treaty, or entered into any Negotiations without aggr tadizing 'the territory, and augmenting the power of France. In the same year, when a Member of the Eccle siastical Committee, he planned the intolerant and impolitic Decree, which made a distiation between a Constitutional and a Nonjuring Clergy, which has caused so many tortnents, dissentions, and civil Wars, and which still continues to divide the Galilean church. Talleyrand was always the worthy fiiend of Mi rabeau, who ? in April, 1791, resigned his guilty soul in thi arms of this his guilty accomplice. In June, 1192, he was in the secrets of La Fa• yette to betray his 'King into that improvident state (the journey to Varennes) which produced so many insults, humiliations, suspicions, and accusations; and which was the principal cause of all the subse quent sufferings of the King and his family. In the autumn of 1791, Talleyrand accompanied the French Minister Chauvelin to England. After the late constitution, he could not, for some years, occupy any public employment ; but Chauvelin was only the nomiNa', and Talleyrand the real, Minister, and the inventor, author, promoter, and instigator of all the plots, intrigues, and conspiracies, in and against England, in 1792. In 1793, Roberspierre's fa ion caused a decree of outlawry to pass against Talleyrand: proscribed every where else, he enjoyed hospitality and protee .tion in England ; but in return he meditated now plots, and invented new projects to embroil or ruin this country, which was the cause of the order he received from Government to leave it. In 1794, he went to A. because _ _„ ..merica, . no state in Europe would receive him. In 17'94, the National Convention annulled its decree of outlaw, and in 179 G he arrived at Hamburgh, where he resided some time before he returned to France : gratitude was never amongst the virtues of this man. Ham burgh, for its hospitality, has since, by his orders, 'oeen several times laid under contributions, and he detests alike America and England ; and their ruin is his incessant and daily contrivance and study. By his intrigues with his old accomplices, the Di reacts, Basraa, Rewbel, and La Reveillere, he was, in 1797, promoted to the Ministry of the Foreign Departments in France. His negotiations this year, and in 1798 at Rastadt, prove his abilities to in trigue, to 'embroil, to divide, and to profit by his ne fafious To tlyiesselitTh' the jealousy of the ,Ditellory, and at tba ual,aftitliCto employ sad gratify the .ambition lof Bona parte, he brought forward. is the autumn After the victory of Lord Nelson, at Aboukir, Talleyrand became unpopular ; and the issue -ig 1799, of the Congress at Rastadt, and the mune- a cessful campaign which followed, augmented the hatred of the jacobin fa&ion against him, and he was obliged to resign : such was, however, as yet, !. his influence with the Dire. Story, that be chose his stfccessor, Rheinhard, a person whOm verned as much in 1799, as he had done' ChauVelin in 1792, to wh6m this Rheinhard was then Secre tary, Talleyrand and Sieyes were those who persuaded Bonaparte to desert l.ii army in Egypt, and who .prepared the revolution which seated him upon the throne of the Bourbons. No sooner was the Corsi can proclaimed the First Consul, than he reinstated Talleyrand in his former place as Minister. • In the beginning of 1600, by. promises, bribes, and negotiations, Talleyrand pbcified the Royalists of Ida Vendee, and -afterwards, by treachery, deliver ed them up to arrest, transportation, and,death. The Treaties of Luneville, of. Amiens, and of Ratisbon, Talleyrand calls hit Polil4.el skef d'alivret, or master-pieces ; time will soon discover if these two Treaties will not follow the fate of the third, already made iznprAdicable by French encroach.. tents, intrigues, pretensions, and insolence. When a bishop, Talleyrand was a jobber : since he possesses the key to all the political trarisaaions Which so much influence the finances of all coun tries, liis . speculations in different funds have pro cured him a fortune greater than he ddra to Juinosa. Wit, or Bzaparaytupeas. This fortune !Lis been considerably augmented by his inany-heentiations , , in particular. thos e about the throne in -Tuscany, *. the indesurii ties in Germany, . and , Louisi ana i n • America. -• k• Because the fOiiner sings of France,Uuis Louis XIY.. and• Louis XV. made their hliniiters; Richilieu, Mazarine, and Fleury, carriinals; Bona. parte proposed to Talleynind last year, fair procure bins the same digt•iity..
