\JI - •••••rit- - HAMISURGH MML. PARIS, AUG. 9. The Russian Charge d' Araires, M. D'Oubril. •irked up all his effeßs, and is only waiting for ;iasses to depart. Wean assured that a plan is now drawn up for tl,e creation of a new Port beyond Cape Grine:, aP • ,dace called the rivulet des Anguilles. This posi- LAI is nearly the same as that of Wissant, a port callel formerly Iccius, and in which Ciesar em barked on the 20th of August, 52 years before the Christian ins. At that period Cape Grinez µas united to a part of the land which is now only a Bank, called the Bank de Laine. The interval be tween this bank and land would form a very fine road. In the present situation of things, the ri •ulet des Anguilles becomes more central. The interval which separates Cape Grinez from the Bank affords a convenient passage for going down into me Channel, w hile the Northern extremity of the bank affords one for proceeding into the North Sea. Etaples, Boulogne, Vim•reax, and Ambleteuse, form by their union a complete whole for an expzdi- tion so nume:nus as that now preparing. The road a wt....v., v;v.a..x Jca Anguillci, is not ne cessary fur the expedition ; but the establishments in tense: to be formed there, will be very useful it fu- twe, is it be tn.ide.a port of observation for the two bc.t.. The atlivity of the Emperor has never been suspended; and, were he occupied only with the ex pedition, the prodigies he h.ts created would be suf- ficielit for him. Ambleteuse, which was chosen by Vauban, as an important point, was pitched on also by Cesar for completing the whole of his ope rations. CA.ALslttiil, ♦VG. 3. In the morning of the day before yesterday, Her Majesty, the Queen of Sweden, accompanied by her Serene Highness the Margravine, her mother, left this city in order to proceed to Munich, whence she will set out in the course of a fortnight with His Majesty, the King, to return to Sweden. HA:IDUAGH, AUG It is reported at Stockholm, and on good autha- rity, that Bonaparte has had the ir.solence (its re venge for the notice taken by the King of Sweden of the arrest and murder of the Duke d'Eughien) to hint to the Eleetor of Baden, that, if he did not think tit to desire his son-in-law (the King of Sweden) to quit the territory of Baden, an army of 30,000 Frenchmen would be sent thither immedi ately. It is well known, add the semr! accounts, that the King of Sweden quitted Carlsehue rather hastily, and it. is thus accounted for. He is s:iid to he returning to Stockholm by the way of Vienna. COPISIIAGEN. AUG. 6 The Russian fleet is still cruising in the Baltic, and none of the ships have yet appeared in the Sound, or sailed for the German sea. . 11411.CELONA, JULY 5. General Moreau arrived here yesterday, accom panied by some officers of Bonaparte's guard. He is waiting here for tau .erriv.,l of his wife and family. He wears coloured clothes; and when he yesterday paid a visit to our Governor, l:e announced himself as Es-General Moreau. MADRIN JULY The French Ambas.ador, General Beurnonville, presented on the lit inst his new credentials, a s re presentative of Napole m the First. General Moreau goes from Barcelona to Cadiz, where he intends to embark on board an American ship. r, JULY 21. "lhe Emperor of Germany has tit:Limed our city a free port, with all the same privileges and immu nities as the harbour of Leghorn. In future, all merchant ships and their cargoes may arrive, land and sail again, without any duty. Tbis Imperial declaration will make this city, in a short time, one of the most flourishing in Italy. JVLY According to letters from Naples, the King of the two Sicilies has appointed the Duke Circelli, formerly Ambassador in England, his Majesty's principiel Secretary of State : Chevalier NI iclierona, who, since the resignation of Chevalier d'Adon, occupies this place ed intrran, is to be Minister at Florence. or to the Italian Republic. Our Vice-President received lately from the Em petor of the French the assurance, " that the Italian republic should continue to be one and sed,;:tiete." Our papers contain a report, that 10,000 land otter, including 400 cavalry, are on board Loid Nelson's fleet. The expence of our Minister of the Foreign De partment for the last year amounte4 to fourteen and a half millions of livres. ■ATISIOV, Al G. 3. The King of Sweden will arrive here on the 10th, and at Munich on the 12th. DR IsliFY, JULY 30. Yesterday the French Minister De La Roche foucau:t had a private audience, and presented his new credentials to our Elector. THE BRITISH PRESS• LONDON, WEDNESDAY. Auovir 22. One of the Hamburgh Mails due, artived yes terd.ty, with Papers and letters to the 1 Ith inst. An article, dated August 6, under the head of Co penhagen, states, that the Russian Fleet is still cruising in the Baltic. They also announce a fresh instance of the tyranny of Bosi sI. A RT. upon the Continent. He has expressed to the Eleaor of BA DLN his displeasure at the humane, loyal, and spirited condua of the King of SWEDES, in the case of the murdcr of the Duke of ENDIVES, and threatened to march a body of 30,000 Frenchmen into the Elec torate, if His SWEDISH MAJESTY were permitted to remain longer in it. This is not his first attack upon the King of SWEDES, as a subsequent letter will shew. If the contents of private letters with yesterday's Mail can be depended upon, Warsaw is not the only place, where the Members of BONAP•ETE'S Secret Police are busy to destroy lawful Princes. Ac cording to report, !the young and virtuous K u.g of SWEDEN, in his journey from Bohemia to Munich, has narrowly escaped a poisonous draught prepar ed for His MAJEC EY by the accomplices of the Poisoner in Chief, NAPOLEON the First ; the parti culars of which have, however, not come to our knowledge. That His SWEDISH MAJESTY deserves this honourable distinetion from the Usurper, evt•ry transattion since his ascension to the throne of his forefathers evinces ; he has always shewn the same contempt for French Rebels in power, and the time abhorrence for their crimes. We have more than once taken occasion to mention the noble re smtment of Gt ST AV VS ADO Lriius, when the Cor sican Assassin had so cowardly and trea:herously murdered the Duke of ENGHIEN. We have now the pleasure to announce another trait of this loyal Prince. His worthy representative in this conntt y, Baron DE SILYERHIELM, received lately orders to present on the part of his Sovereign, to Abbe Da Bon vEns, Almoner to hislloyal Highness,Motist ewe, brother to the King of Fa A Ns:. e, a gold medallion of great value,for the eloquent funeral sermon which he had pronounced in the King-street Chapel, when the service for the repose of the soul of the Duke of EVOH lEN was performed there. This medallion was struck at Stockholm, in Sweden, in 1792, in commemoration of that Royal Hero and Martyr, GEST AVUS 111. butchered by Swedish Regicides in the pay of French Jacobins. On one side it re presents Gusr vus 111. ascending to Heaven from a funeral pile, and on the other is his apotheosis. He was murdered on the 19th of March, 171)2, and the Duke of Ettmitts on the 20th of March, 1804. AS Hit SWEDISH MAJESTY generously observes, the similitude of circumstances which accompanied the murders of these two Princes, both perishing by the hands of midnight assassins, makes this an appropriate present on this melancholy occasion. What we mentioned in our Paper of last Monday, concerning the attempt of BoN AAAAAA to poison his Sovereign, the Krou of Fs si.ct and NAv•a r, is fully confirmed by the letter, v.•e received with yesterday's mail, and by those our Government has obtained. Ti. papers concerning this atrocious affair are too voluminous to appear in a News. paper, as they would make a large pamphlet. The original proe.r verbal, if inserted enti,e, would fill sixteen columns, and the interrogatorie , . And the cor respondence would occupy twice as much space. The most material we have, are laid before the pub lic. We can however add, that it was in consequence •f the name of BON APARTeS commercial agent, Boris, that the Prussian President, Baron I lov se, declined to have farther to do with it. 7:i. French emissaries involved in the conspiracy, effeeted their escape. The President Hover, Governor of War saw, and the Prussian City Council, have transmitted a protocol of the whcle plot to the Court of Berlin. This President has, during the three years His Most Christian Majesty has resided at Warsaw, con dueled himself with that respea and delicacy, which the undeserved misfortunes of a good Prince had a right to expel. Baron HUYAI is a Nobleman of elevated charader, of a feeling mind, and humane disposition; nothing can therefore better prove the extent of Bias AAAAA E'S reign of terror, than that such an enlightened magistrate should be deterred from the performance of his duty, by the very name of an inferior agent of the barbarous Corsican. It is remarkable that the brother to the President Baron novas was the President of the Criminal Tribunal at Blankenburgh, where, during the residence of Louis XVIII. another attempt was made upon tin MAJESTY'S life by the hired assassins of BASRAS, then the patron and prote&or of BOMA, ART'. Two of our contemporaries, however, affeft to doubt this intelligence. They were the first to gulp down the tale of MERLE of La TOUCHE, but the poisoned carrot of Warsaw sticks in their throats. One of them, indeed, does sot hesitate to consider it a stratagem of Mr. Pirr to divert the public attention from his condua. It cannot believe that BONAPARCL'S emissaries would employ " the keeper of a billiard table to do the job." Some King, or at least a German Eleftor, we suppose, ought to have been employed in this honourable af fair. It states with great skill and nicety, how a plot ought to be conducted, and seems angry at the clumsy and aukward management of the busi ness at Warsaw. But this coaduCt of the Print in question does not surprise us. It is not upon the head of Fto AAAAA Tr, but of Mr. PITT, that it is used to pour the phial• of wrath. It is besides, so com pletely occupied with the BrentiTord Eleetion, it probably has not time or opportunity to give a ma ture and deliberate consideration to any other sub• jeft. As to the other Print, which protesscs tl be in the pay of the Tteasury, and yet advocates the cause of Bon A A arc upon this occasion, it is pretty plain that it is not afraid of being read by its em ployers. We are surprised, hov.-ever, that it should feel so much mortification at this proof of the su perior intelligence of THE BRIT so Pal ss. ought to have reconciled it lang, since to its humble station in the ranks of merit. We have received a private letter from H im birrgh, of the 10th instant, which stares, that tho French Ministers at Berlin, and in the difretent Electoral Courts of Germany, have presented notes " declaring the rumour unfounded of BONAPARTE having proposed to Austria to make the Imperial dignity over the German empire, hereditary in that house." It is, however, well known, that the same French courier, who brought to Vienna the news of BONAPARTE'S proclamation as an Emperor of the French, carried with him this proposal in hopes by it to obtain from the Emperor of GAR awl. his acknowledgment of the Usurper's new dignity. The King of Paussr A was, at the same time, desired to proclaim himself an Emperor of Prussia. In a letter of the 7th instant front our Correspond ent at we are informed that the news at BONAP•KTE'S attempt to poison Lot 1. XVIII. has caused such indignation in that city, that his Mi nister, LA Foam, has been insulted, Loth in the streets, and in the theatre, by the puhlic ; and whilst at Court, and ill the Casino, every Member of the Diplomatic Corps, with the exception of the Italian and Batavian Ministers, shunned him, and avoided to speak to him. Phis indignati•in was augmented after the arrival of another c.urier with the information of Bus RT es Commercial Agent, Boyee's, new endeavours, either to bribe over with money, or to intimidate by threats the Frenchman, Coutoe, who discovered this base and atrocious plot. It is said, that the conduA of Pre sident Hu'vrit has been approved of, though LA Fottesr insists upon his dismissal, for having gone too far. It is thought at Berlin that no farther notice will be taken of this scandalous affair, and no criminal prosecution ordered, at least until the return of a courier sent to the Prussian Minister, Luccutsimi, at Paris. Thepensioners of I PAR£ tp in Prussia, and the members of his Secret Police. spread shout that the whole plot has been invented by English emissaries to palliate the correspondence of Mr. DRAKE; but their employer's crime is too manifest, and they are no more able to maLe any dupes of their artifices. Yesterday morning, at eight o'clock, a Foreiga Messenger arrived at Lord H•aaoway's Office: he brought dispatches from Mr. Serscse Se fru, brother to Sir SYDNEY SMITH. lie likewise brought dispatches from Studtgard. Yesterday, at twis o'clock, the Loan CHAS.CEI.• LOS visited MI. PITT, at his house. Yesterday afternoon, about five o'clock, Sir S. SMITH had audiences of Lord He aeuwav and Mr. Prrr. in Downing-street. On Monday Lord 11 is bad an audience of His MAJESTY at Windsor. Letters from Stockholm say, that great quanti ties of foreign saltpetre are purchasing there ; from which circumstance, added to others, it is presumed, that we shall not long enjoy our present enviable state of tranquillity. A letter from Husum, received yesterday, says, " Five thousand 1 - linoverian reunite ere ready to proceed to England. l'hey will peobably sail ig the next packets." The Bank have given public notice for do Hol ders of Loyalty Loan, to make their optic*, on or before the 20th of September, between the two modes prescribed by Aft of Parliament, viz. either to recover 1001.
