‘77- FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FROM THE FRENCH AND DUTCH PAPERS. .ritais, SEPT. 41. Ihe Prefect of the Department of the Upper Rhine has written a circular letter to all the Atty,,r: of this Department, was sing them to be stns et in the case of all demands for passes, from all travellers, to prevent the desertionof the troops from the interior, by way el this frontier. He declares, at the same time, that all Mayors negligent in the discharge of this duty \yin be regarded as favoerers of desertion, and severely punished as such. This letter has been written in conselisence of the information Govern ment has obtained of several attempts from its in ternal and external loc., or conspirators, to seduce the soldiers, patticularly young conscripts, to desert. Letters from Brussels mention that the Auditor of the Staff, lYArberg, sent. by the Eweror of the French to Berlin, with a letter tor the King of Prussia, and who is still in that capital, waits only passes from Russia to continue his journey to St. Petershurgh, with another letter, written by the Emperor's own hand, to Alexander the First. Upwards of 150 almanacks, for the year XIII. have been already published under different appel lations, as the Imperial Ahnannek, the E,,,,-.-rJr% At onaptark, the Emit, ss's ALnanurk, Prince Jos, th's Alosamar4,Priare Lila a A:numack, &c. &c. all with pretended appropriate dedications, containing the most dull and ridiculous verses, epigrams, calem bourgs, jet,: d'esprit, enigmas, &c. that ever soiled paper. The witlings are as proud of these chef etrlscres, as if they were the Itousseaus or Voltaires of the day. But the most curious cf all is the Catholic .41miniaet, dedicated to his II liness Pins VII. where, by tile side cf legends cf Saints, and tales of miracles, are placed lure letters to a mis tress, and calembourgs against religion. We have been told that the author had the folly or imperti. tenet to present this almanack to his Eminence Cardinal Caprara, who, judging from the title, gave him in return twenty louis, but, after reading it. offered him fifty more to entirely suppress it as a scaodal, which would be very displeasing to the Pope upon his arrival in France. The author had the audacity to pocket this money, but, instead of supplessiog the almanack, published the anecdcee, which made this stupid produ&ion pass through four tuitions in three w. ski, by which he gaited 1.54.1. - mis more. The Correctional Police, as well as tie C-mmittee for the Plotcilion of the Li berty of the Press, have taken cegnisance of this li tetary swindling, and the author is now in the Prison of tl e Temple. The day after his arrest, he agreed with a printer I,r the fifth edition, but it was entire ly seized by P. lice, who are now ansions to buy up the former ratios, which consegnently sell at a pt ..mi UM . Cardinal Caprara has had the magnanimity to demand the release of n thor ; to which tl.c of Police. Senator Fondle, ha- rot consented upon any other terms, than that be should le transported to the colonies for life; and he has probably before now reached Roche fort, the place of his embarkltion. What a pity that the oths.re 149 anthill--; of Almanacks are act of the party I—(7 weal de Pa.-o.) The contents c‘f pi is ate letters arrived lately from St. Pelersburgh are of a very paeiGc nature; at last they do not :Itention any apprehension in that capital of any ore.; ruptule l,etween Prance and Russia.

All these wretches are ricked out from among many thousands, condemned to the galleys for life, and whose health is supposed strong enough to be able to support these unhealthy undertak ings. To encourage them to work, the Emperor has promised, by the lari:ime Prefeti, all those who are inditstri , ins, and .s;l:vier, in tan year hence, to be pardoned, on condition of being transported to the coin:lies fur the remainder of their days. The auxiliary troops of the Italian Republic arc in garri , on at Calais, where they are daily exercised by French officers. In a short time they will be as peifea as our own. All discontent among them selves, and disagreements with our troops, have ceased. The deserters have returned to their duty, and given up their seducers, who, to the shame of their religion, were the chaplains of their regiments, who deserved capital punishment, but which his Majesty our Emperor graciously changed into trans portation to the Roman States, where they are to do penance in convents tqr the rem tinder of their days. The Italian troops obs-rve now the striaost disciplipe, and the inhabitants of Calais speak highly of their condua.—(Gazette de Franer ). The Russian Emperor has ordered a new regi ment to he raised, called the Dragoons of the Police. The Men are to be chosen from among the veterans, who :ire most distinguished for their sobriety and valour.

Marriages increase in proportion as divorces de crease, which may convince our speculative philo sophers and metaphysicians, that their calculations concerning the happiness ri civil society ave as erro neous in this case as in many others. Their maxim; (unfortunately for France. converted into laws by the National. Convention, the most intmnral, cruel and ignorant of all her natioaal asseinShes) of per mitting full liberty for e..er! one to divorce, even for a momentary disagreement of temper, have made more prostitutes and uastard.

Weems assure our Readers, from unquestionable authority, that the report in the French and nerrnan Papers, and copied into the London Prints, which states. that Feat:cis 11. intends to have another co ronation ceremony performed upon the Stir inst. as Emperor cf Ausrai A, is totally destitute of found ation, and is merely the invention of BON AAAA T E . ! slants and pensioners. It is certainly true, that upon Sr. LIOPOLO'S tl.ty, this new title will be con secrated with great romp and ceremony at Vienna, where Fewsicts 11. will be surrounded by his r.ew Digairarief, as an Emperor of Acosta; but no new coronation will take place. It is said, tha:, in case of a rapture with Spain. CJletnnient intends to rz•nd sone auxiiury troops into Pont:gal. Repnt: add that the foreign troops in our serstce will be employed there. It is said, that, to a demand made by the Court of Vienna, upon the Cabinet cf J•r. ft . .. that the latter should ackazsrleclgt the Ensperor of Gu _ • ••••• ' VAN` in bisnew revolutlonary Mak. as Emperor of Atisrata, an answer has been retuned, that our Court would follow the example-of its ally, the Emperor of RUSSIA. A similar request has been made to the Court of St. Petersburg)), and has re ceived an unsatisfaXl y answer. Report adds, that in consequence of this conduCt on the part of Eng land and Russia, the Ausrara a AMISASS&DOIS at their respeCtive Courts will be recalled, and suc ceeded by only Charge des if trai,es. This furnishes a new proof of the Machiavelism of BONAPARTE, and is one step to the consummation of his plan for the destruftioa of Europe. By the Treaty of Lune ville, Austria, England, and Russia, were isolated from each other. By the Partition Treaty of Ha tisbon, that followed, the German Empire was iso lated from its Chief, and its Members were alienated from each other; but all tacitly acknowledged the superiority of France, courted her protection, and received the plunder of their countrymen, under the name of indemnities, as a boon at her hands. Since the commencement of the present war with England, the invasion of Hanover, and several other proofs of the boundless ambition and revolutionary spirit of BONA r RTL, have tended to assimilate the inte rests of England, Russia, and Germany, and to draw these three countries closer to each other.— Every thing seemed to portend the renewal of those ties, which the intrigues of BONAPARTE had loosen ed, or his vitlories, or the victories of Zurich, in Holland, Marengo, and Hohenlinden, had broken. The wise and incorruptible Count Marteurr, and the loyal .Chancellor Woitotazorr, prevented him from gaining the indireft approbation of Russia to his crimes and encroachments. Unfortunately, his intrigues have been more successful in Austria. FRA SC IS IL has neither a MA acorr his Ambassa dor at Paris, nor a Woitoesure at the head of his Cabinet at Vienna; and Bow •P MITE'S plans to em broil and divide the three principal Courts of Eu rope have succeeded by the weak and imprudent resolution of the Emperor of GEOH•II' so proclaim himself Emperor of Austria. It is not therefore surprising, that the Courts of St. James's and St. Petersburgh should feel indignant at the sanftion thus given to the revolutionary system, and the ter giversation of a Prince, sch 'm they considered one of the few remaining hopes for the salvation of Europe. We this day resume our extra is from the French and Dutch Papers, which we possess erelatz:ely. An article in one of the unofficial French Papers, states, drat the Dutch Bast India Company have an nounced a great sale of East India goods, brought Orem by ships under Denis* and Antrim, colours• i his article can only have been inserted in 'order to cause a more cl.se inspection of the ships of those powers, with a view to excite discontent and jea lousy between these several poweis. We have inserted a Proclamation that shews the tyranny which France exercises is Holland, and use irreconcileable hatred of Bua seanTa, not only agair.st all British subjeas, but those wbo have the honour to be the descendants of Britons. The next Proclamation we may expea from Hol land, will probably contain an order of the Corsi can to his satellites, to make a general domiciliary visit, after English goods and produaions ! Such are the blessings of French frit:vanity. We cannot help observing, that all political or military vexa tions of Bonapaart and his sathjeas are always cnnt.eaed with financial plunder, and revolutionary extortions. These persons, whcm his General, Mo N. N t.T, is now persecuting, have all bought the passes and permissions very dearly, when they obtained them last year, about this time ; and this r.ew re gulation shews, among other things, that new pe cuniary sacrifices are required by the French ma tenders, to have their formes passes and proteftioas renewed or prolonged. The Crown and Hanaper Office, in Dublin, has given notice in the Gazette of last night, that the writs for cleaing a Peer to succeed the late Earl of Letretu wall be delivered this day to the several Lords entitled to receive the same.

DRURY:LANE THEATRE. The interesting Comedy of Denf and Thim3 w as last night performed at this Theatre, to as full a n d fashionable an audience as xe recollea to L ive witnessed at any part of the season. This little drama possesses many beauties: without ai - ezling the canting whine of sentiment, so frequent in many of our modern Plays, it awakens our best feehn i .;, hr a thousand simple and natural touches. T he dumb eloquence of Miss Dc Cast?, in of Harantourt, was never more aurasftive than last night. Her eyes beamed with intelligence and sensibility ; the generous feelings of her heart w ere forcibly expressed iby the varied emotion, h er fine animated countenance, and produced at: effect, beyond the power of language to describe. M. WIOUGHTuteS. Dadeinont is one of his best per. formances ; he pourtrays, in a masterly style, restless agitations which guilt is doomed tofeel, even when most successful.
