X AMIP:RGII, OCT. to, 'Yesterday morning, between four and live o'clock. a most anplincipled attack and violation of the ter ritory of this free imperial City took place on the pert of the French. They landed in four or five barges a body of their troops, from Harburgh, on a spot calkd Hamburgher Berg, and meeting with a ::140, torced him to ,hew them the way to another place, called Grindelhof, where Sit George Rum bold, the British Charge d'Affaires to the Hansea tic Cities, and the States of thn; Circle of Lower Saxony, has his country residence. This corps of freebooters was headed by several General Officers, completely armed, and 'had their colours, drums, and band of music with them. Sir George, hearing a noise, looked out at the window, and seeing the house surrounded by soldiers, asked what they wanted ? They told him they had some dispatches for him ; but he refusing to suffer the door to be opened, they forced open the doors, and rushed in to every apartment, ransacked, pillaged, and destroy. od what was not portable, dragged Sir George out of his bed, made him dress himself, and, alter having seized his papers, forcibly carried him to the river side, and embarLd him for Harburgh, where he is said to be still detained in close custody. It has been remarked, that the invading corps first was going to land upon the f lolstein territory ; 'but, perceiving their mistake, they soon desisted from the attempt. The reason assigned for this treacherous attack cannot as yet be exaaly ascer tained; but general report says, that it was done with a view of puttidg a stop to the recruiting ser vice, which is pretended to be carried =here secret ly for England. Mr. Nicholls, the British Deputy Consul, on bearing of this ruffianly violence, sought refuge in the house of the American Consul, Mr. Forbes. The number of troops who came over from liar burgh, amounted to ?war 300 men. Our Senate was in consequence assembled from seven o'clock in the morning, till five in the even. kas ; they sent a deputation to the French Minister, telrfeeLlt against this vinlation of our territory, and ' alilifat the English CiLirge d'Affaires sh ou ld be set at liberty. The French Minister, it is said, denies having say knowledge of the transaaion. Couriers have silo been sent off to Berlin, Vienna, and Perer%. bu-gli. Some reports state, that Sir George has been carried to Hanover in a coach, under a strong escort. • A ‘ISTLRDIO4, Orr. 2 1 . • The ships detained in the Texel, on account of ! • being swelled of communication with the enemy, have, since the 16th, all been permitted to sail ; the order to prevent espionage by see WAS {MO perly un • derstood and enforced. • The report is eom:non that the Cnurt of Vienna has offered to be the tuedi.ttor between F.ngl .nd and France, and has tried to bring abut: , A pacification.

Re:ein the 1111i6Ifilnle of my perfect isteem, &s-. &c. 4Signed) LLI. H. TAI,I.V.Y It AND. LONDON, FRID kY, N )yem Hew t. Two I lamburgh Mails arrived yesterdax. with letters and papers to the .27th. They bring an ac connt of new and horrible outrage upon the law of nations. In the night between the '2 WI and 3.lth, a detachment of French troops, to the amount of 3 or 400, crossed the Elbe, and carried off Sir GEORGE RUMBOLD, the British Charge des ..I!lair,s, accre dited to the Circle of Lower Saxony, from his seat near Hamburgh, without any notice or previous communication with the Senate of that City. Sir GEORG?. was concluded immediately to Harburgh, a town about seven miles South of Hamburgh, from whence it was supposed he would be sent to Paris. The marauders came in several large boats, and landed close to Hamburgh. The report dues not state in what way they carried off their viEtim ; but it is probable that they proceeded along the Elbe to 1-larburgh, and that the boats used upon the tacca si rn, are those which daily sail between that city and Hamburgh. This new outrage is a strung corroboration of the reported intention of Bon A• PA RTC last Spring, to send a banditti to carry off Mr. Da.% its from Munich, and Mr. SPENCCC SMITH from Statgard. This atrocious system Is in pursu ance of his favourite policy to isolate Great Britain from the Continent, by the expulsion of its diplo matic representatives, well knowing, that a commer cial separation would soon follow the absence of all political connelion. It is strange, therefore, that Mr. TAYLOR, the British Minister to the Eleaor of Films:, has not been also carried off from the Elec toral residence, Cassel, which is not more distant from the French carps de greeds upon the eastern frontier of Hanover, than Hamburgh is upon the northern. Those who ascribe this new crime to such a petty cense and motive as a wish to prevent recruising for England, are much mistaken. It is only a link in the chain of atrocities and iasuits meditated against England, by the revolutionary Machiavels of St. Cloud, ever since the deplorable peace at Amiens. In the whole of Italy, where we had formerly six Ministers, we now have only one, Mr. Faso:r r, our Mini,tcr at Naples, who, from the presence of a French army its that king dom, is exposed to the same violence which has been just committed upon the Banks of the Elbe. In Germany, where we had formerly eight diplomatic agents, we have now only an Am bassador at Vienna, and Ministers to the Courts of Berlin and Dresden. All our political commu nications have ceased with Switzerland and the North of Italy; and we know only from the public papers, the machinations of BON•RA AT R against England, its all these extensive and populous coun tries. Not being yet ableto banish or carry off our Ministers from Lisbon and Madrid, lie has made their re idonce disagreeable, by intrigues at those Courts. and by calumnies and libels in the public prints. How easy would it be for England to retaliate, by sending a few ships to Lisbon, to Naples, or to Constantinople? and with how many circum stances of palliation might site not carry off the rebels, who represent the Usurper at these se veral capitals !—But this would be to play into the hand of the tyrant, and to aid him in his plans of universal revolution. We trust, there fore, that the unconquerable spirit of justice that dirells the councils and conduA of England, will be felt by the few independent States that still remain in Europe. In the Note of M. IYOuaais, of the l• . th of August, at Paris, to M. TALLAY• RAPID, Russia is made to say, that if the French Government shall commit fresh injuries against her self, or her allies, or threaten more seriously the in depeadence of Europe, she will then manifest as much energy in employieg those extreme measures which a just deknce requires, as she has given proofs of patience." Is not this then fresh outrage, a direct challenge to Russia ? Can Russia longer keep the sword in the sheath, consistent with her honour, her chat at'..ter, or her rank in Europe! The liamburgh Mails of yes:et-3 ty have aim brought us a copy of the original Note presented by TALLIYSIIIW to the Russian Charge erdiairee • at Paris, in answer to that of Russia, respeeting the murder of the Duke D'Ermat LN. of which sn many garbled and erroneous accounts have been given. This important State Paper will be read with in. terest —Every line of it is dilated by excessive ih f solcnce, and every sentence breathes insult to Russia. an, A letter from an officer on board one of onr fri gates off Brest states, that besides the gun-boa's lately taken by our cutters, several others of BoNs , A er a's grand armada have been lest off the French coast in the late gales. Tl,e Captain of a Danish ship from L'Orient has declared, that of three divi. sions. amounting to nearly 100 vessels, which, 7 9 ' - ' l `v s ithin three weets, have sailed from the srecterk • harbours and rivers of France, not six , y had ar rived at tlit:r destination; the others having either foundered at sea, or are supposed to be still tossed about, without water or provisions, as these vessels have nnt room for more than what is necessary for the crews and soldiers for six days. A Spanish s!:ip had arrived at :'Orient two days before the 1.).,. e sailed, having on board fifteen French soldiers, a t: i four sailors, the surviving part of thirty-six, who, in a first-rate gun-boat, had been driven to sea, a for four days that preceded the day they met the Spaniard, had nothing either to cat or drink, enduring the greatest fatigue, every moment ex peeking their shallow vessel to go to the bottom, which caused its Commander to kill himself in dt spair. These men deel tred that seven other Gea.' boats of their division were seen by them on the second day after they were driven from the mast with signals of distress, and as they have wt since been heard ot, they are supposed to h.trs perished. Forty-four vs..sets sailed from the Ga• Tonne, and of these only thirty-two were known to be safe in French harbours. Acc ing to the repot' of the D me, great scarcity 411 d discontent prevail in that part of France ; and the troops of Al/GI:REAL' ' '. army, encantised near A'dc•;, deserted to the interior iu great numbers, and t, tcd, even with arms in their hands, the efarmin, who attempted to stop or arrest them. I was said, that the camp w on this accent • break up, and the troops, except eight thotrand • board GAN rut:tit:ma's flee:, be marched into wiat • quarters.

Should they attempt to ccrne out, th,:rt: is ever' reason to believe they will meet with a warns receo tion and safe convoy to one of our ports.
