We have received the following particulars from Madras, respelling the capture of a French priva teer, by His Majesty's ship Fiorento : While cruising off Mangalore, on the Malabar coast, the Fiore n:e, Captain BINGHAM, fell in with the privateer, which he chased ; but, finding the wind fail, Captain Biti.ou Alit ordered his boats to be manned and to pursue her ; his orders were in stantly obeyed, and the boats soon got alongside the privateer; the attack was made in a most gal lant manner ; and, after a very stout resistance, on the part of the enemy, they succeeded in taking pos session of her, after having killed the First and S.- colic' Captains, and several of the crew of the pri vateer. The crew of the privateer, even after her cap tuer, far exceeded the number in the boats ; she car• Tied le gulls and 1 0 0 m.nl, last from the Mauri tius, and had made no captures. Captain BINGHA re learned tiorn the prisoners, that they had. prior to falling in with the Frorense, landed three French officers cm the coast, who had dis guised themselves as natives, in order to pass into the interior of the cinnery, where it was supposed they had commissions in the service of some of the native princes. Letters from Prince of Wales's Island mention the particulars of the destruftion of a large sloop, lying in Bourong River, which was in possession of pi rates, who had long infested the neighbouring coasts. On the 26th September, Captain CR AMU:, of His M rSTY'S sloop of war, Rattle:mkt, cruising off Acheen Head, fell :n with a merchant-ship, be longing to Prince of %I Zees Island, who gave in formation of an armed sloop that was preparing for sea, under orders of a gang of desperate pirates. Captain (:arisen immediately proceeded in search of her, end, on the f.'erh, at five p. m. the weather being moderate, and the sloop at anchor, the boats were hoisted out. As soon as they were armed and manned, they rowed alongside of the sloop, which they found prepared to make every resistance. As soon as they came close enough, the attack was com menced from the boats, which was immediately re turned from the sloop. The boats then getting close alongside, attempted to board ; and we are sorry to state, that before they could succeed in ob taining possession of her, the vessel blew up ; bat it was not known whether this happened irom acci dent or design. We are concerned to state. tha: our loss was con siderable, in consequence of the List event; the boats of the Rottlesriake hid one man killed ; three Officers, and two men wounded.

The seizure of Sir Geortoz Russaotn, we now find, was one of the subjects of deliberation in the Privy Council, on Monday last. Upon that day, a remonstrance against that foul violation of the laws of nations was prepared and drawn up for trans mission to the neutral and friendly States upon the Continent. A copy of it was delivered on Saturday to the members of the diplomatic corps in Lun- ' don. It is a dignified and temperate note, and will be found in a preceding column. The Monilcur of the 29th contains a long abusive ar ticle, reprobating the condu.ll of the Englis:. Go vernment in the capture of the Spanish frigates. In this diatribe, the English Government is charged with a flagrant violation of the law of nations, and an unjustifiable attack upon Spain, at the very time when Lord HAaaow.y was entreating the Spanish Ambassador at the Court of St. James's, the Che valier ANDUAGA, to use his influence with the French Government to procure an amelioration of the state of Lieutenant WNIGHT, who landedfassas sins upon the coast of France, and ought to have suffered the same fate. It also censures this trans action as impolitic on the part of England, as it must rouse the King of SPAIN from his present torpid state, and throw into the scale of France 40 ships of the line, a great number of troops, and a great quantity of treasure. By it also England will lose the trade with Spain, amounting to three ma. hens sterling a year; while the preparations for war against that kingdom will cost her a million and a half. It well becomes the violator of Baden and of Hamburgh to charge England with an ag. gression of the law of nations. A party seeking justice ought to come into coo • with clean hands ! Will BON•r Afire' hands ever be clean All the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten them." It was reported yesterday, that information had been received by the Russian Ald liana DOI, of another outrageous violation of the Laws cf Nations, committed by BON'APARTt. It is Well known that after the Corsican Usurper had released Mr. D'Or , - Slits the late Russian CAarge ?A/Pair(' in France, from his detention at Mentz. this diplomatic Agent removed to Franckfort, only twelve miles distance from Mentz, there to await the further orders of his Court, as to his future destination. The report said, that Mr. D'Ousaix had been carried from that city back to France, by a detachment of gets druadel, who, unexpeardli, seized him and his papers.— As every thing unjust and atrocious may he ex petted from the barbarous policy of the Corsican, the charatier of the man gave a colour of probabi_ lity to the report. Upon enquiry, however, we rind that no official account of any such event has been received by I is Excellency Count ls t 11 . oso z w , the worthy Representative of the Emperor of Rt.ss . We have been favoured with the following extraa of a letter from a neutral agent at Paris, to one of his countrymen in England, dated Paris, Oct. 23: " Though the shew, dresses, and equipages, neces sary for those who are anxious to figure at the corn nation ceremony, have produced some temporary and artificial aCtivity in those branches of commerce and manufatture connteed with luxury and fashion, it does not extend farther than to this capital and to Lyons ; at Bourdeaux, Marseilles, Names, Rouen. Antwerp, and, in fast, in all npr principal sea-ports, trade is either entirely at a stand, or consists only in jobbing, insuring, and privateering. New failures are therefore the consequence; and,within six weeks, twenty.two h• nu-es, considered, eighteen months an not only as prosperous, bat as rich, have stopped payment here and in the provinces. Their unexpett ed bankruptcies have been followed by new ones of houses conneileil with diem in Italy, Spain, and Germany, which, in their turn, must involve their correspondents of other countries, in their ruin. Notwithstanding the arrivals in cash of tributes from Spain, Portugal, Italy, Germany, and Hol land, the scarcky of money is so great, that the discount upon hills continues to be two per rent. in the month ; and for those of secondary houses, are paid throe, and even foar per rent. though the Bank of France has lately doubled its capital, and of course extended its pecuniary suc cours to commerce and manufactories, in the same proportion. Persons in foreign countries may sup pose the situation of our finances favourable, on account of the price of our stocks. But this is not the criterion of prosperity here, as in England ; be cause, the military despotism commands as much the business of our Stock Exchange, as the ma natuvres or evolutions of our parstd.:: tor reviews. The looks, the words, the acs of an agent of TA L• I. ZYR ND, of F0r.0.: tit, or Of the a:e studied and obeyed, with the greAtest attention; and the military discipline and subordination . . are as much observed by our Stock Brokers and Joh hers, as by the Grenadiers of the Imperial Guard; and it would be ruin to them, or to any other capital. ists, should they be mutinous enough to sell out or purchase in a manner to influence the price of the Stocks, without the permission of these agent s imprisonment or transportation would soon their refrthory spirit. You see, therefore, that is Holland, where French policy yet exclude; n..ii:ity influence or commands in financial operations, C. e funds are falling in proportion as those in Frans: are rising ; the Batavians well knowing the value of, and the dependance on, those official rumours of Peace or War disseminated by official French spies, and forcibly regarded on the Eselt.ks.,- or France, as the financial thermometers of ti.e !.;y, direfting all transaaions." We yesterday received Paris Papers to the 31st 06totter, and Dutch Papers to the 3d inst. inclusive. From the latter, it appears that the camp .0 Zeist is breaking up, and that the troisps are repairing ti winter quarters in the ditreient cities and tows of the Republic. Rear-Admiral Statox DLCRCR, from the Cape of Good Hope. was put under wrest, iramediati4 upon his Arrival, on the charge of having abandoned his command of a squadron ut vessels, without pt..- mission of the Government. The seizure of Sir GEOIIII RUM BOLD is ti,US mentioned by the Mc. euty of the 3a Jost. " At two o'clock in the morning, 150 French troops repaired to GrindA, a v lLg within the t:•:- ritory of Hamburgh, where, at his country house, they arrested the English Cba, ge d' .4 fa ires , and ea , . ve . yed him to Harburgh : from thence it was ss:l he was to be transported to Verdun, and t!:e; d.- tained till the reappearance of Sir Jit,:acs CAM:. FURD at that place." On the 29th ult. there was a diplomatic audience at the 1 huilleries, at which were pre,ent the Im. perial Ambassador Count Cu aEorstil., the Sr ANIF I. the Stcau.sti, and the PoIiTUGUESE ANIB•SSADOI,, and a long string of Italian, Sicilian, and Germaa Dukes, Counts, &c. • s Mr. Motioo:., the Minister Plenipotentiary of the United .itates at London, was presented to His Ma. Jury by Mr. L:Y:NOATUM. 011 the 27th, the Boulogne flotilla remained iq the roads, where every opportunity was taken to ea ercise the crews and troops iu their different ma. Government have received accounts from GI-- raltar of so late a date, it is said, as the 20 , h communicating the pleasing intelligence th it the fever was rapidly subsiding.

We have copied from a respeCiable Evening payer, 'Fifa Glom, of Saturday-, two private lett,:rs from Dublin*: one of them states, that Sir E. Nemo:, at the request of Mr. Petry, has i #quired the Roman Catholic Prelates and other Dignitaries of that Church, to consult tht.ic inferior Clergy upon the subjeCt of an adequate stipend for their support, to be paid out ct the public purse. Several mtet- ings have been held in Dublin in consequence, toe' result of which has been reported to Government. We stated several month, si:ce, that a plan of this kind sr.:. ir, the contemi,Lci,:n of the Minister, ant now rejoice at the prospeet of its speedy execution. The greatest advantage may be eziseded from tb s measure. On Friday Sir CH •It LIS Mtn GAN waited up r. His Mair.sTY at Windsor, and laiJ the result ut number of 'ours Marti.ils before His Mstryry. Saturday, at four o'clock, the LORD CHANCILLOII transaCted business with Mr. PITT at his house. On Friday a heavy firing was heard at Deal, m the tiireelion of LAsnliik, the cause of which WAS Tv ; known. RONA►A lITE, ttcenrding t the inform:li i•ni (!•x master of a neutral vessel arrived ;u the ktivt7, at Boulogne a few drys since. A great number of troops have mirch:Jfiorr ti neighbourhood of Alorlaix for Brest, said to be d. '- tined for a secret expedition. The Admiral who commanded the Spanish '- gates at the time of their detention, has solicited AI I obtained permi;si.nt so come to town from mouth, for the benefit of his health. He is expeezel in a few days. A Paris paper remarks, that the united ages of the Sovereigns of Russia, Austria, Piussix, all France, amount only to 132 years ; viz.A cps.% eta 27. Fiascos 36.

It is now said. that the a:trawl/ilia', croft whit has taken place in Spain is, tat the Prince 44 the Astral., (a tide sinsilar to that of cur Prince 0 WA Le,), the eldest soil of the KING, and the heir the Spanish Monarchy, has been imprisoned, and the ',cold sox declared the heir. We are Awed at a loss what to make of these stories.

" Even in a political view I proved, that this horrible act would neithrr proem:: tranquillity to France, nor safety to Eu- rope. l' o e difference is great between the military despotism seised by an Usurper, supported by accomplices, by victims, and by terror and the lawful monarchical authority inhetited by a legitimate Prince, with the national will and wishes for age,. The latter never dies; but history of all times evinces, that the annitination of the former is on the point of the sword of a rival, or in the pois mous cup of an enemy. Napoleon Bonaparte may reign ; hut was his progeny ever so numerous, he will leave an posterity behind him, and his dynasty perishes with him, because France has within her bosom many other Generals, equally ambitious, audacious, and ferocious, who will never respect a rank to which they have equal right with Napoleon, and superior claims to those of his children, brothers, and nephews. Until, therefore, your Majesty as.:ends the throne of your ancestors, my unfortunate countrymen will only fight fee the choice of their tyrants, and my degraded country experience nothing but an intermittent and incurahl, ,anarchy, extending its ravages, tormenting and undermining civilised society m every part of the globe My humble re monstranees and representations wer:, liow. , ver, as ineffenive as my powerful arguments, mad an ev.dence not to he refuted. Pius VII. goes to France, and trul religion is equally threatened with all lawful dynasties! " If I feel sensibly, Sire! particularly at this moment, the happiness of being consistent and faithful to my invariable doctrine, in laving at the feet of your Majesty my usual and .unchangeable allegiance and homage ; I am also well aware of the imminent dangers to which such an honourable profession exposes me. But, S av,already,frosn age, on the borders of rterni ty,some days longer existence in a world, where crime promeis arid virtue millers, are of no value to me, at the expellee of the dictates of my conscience. Submitted with resignation to the will of Providence, I sin prepared to meet death, either in the dungeons of the Temple, in the wilds of Cayenne, in the wood of Vincennes, or at the Place de Greve. I shall expire as I have lived, with the grin and consoling hope of inhabiting the mine blemed abodes with a St. Louis, with a Louis XVI. a Leaman!, w ith a Cliarrette, with an Engltien, with a Licht gru, with a Georges, and with all other heroes and marty - s of re:igron and loyalty.
