k~ ; J ~: . ~` "4; L 1 . declare all American, or other neutral ships, trailing with the relocls at Domingo, good prices, the Eng lish, ender the escort of their men of war, are almost the only nation who carry provisions or succours to the blacks, and trade with them. Api ivauser from Gnadeloupe captured lately a pirate vessel with ne - gioes from St. Domingo, the Commander of which Wore the order of Dessalines's Legion of lirnuer. Be fore the pirates perished in the flames, the Captain Gvneralordered the public executioner to destroy and . bur, under thekeyes, this impertinent :mil infamous order of decoration. Such was, however, the lama tt..isrn of these wretches, that, though tied to the stake, they never ceased to abuse the Emperor of the. French, and to exclaim Vice Dessnline, !—( La fruille Narstat‘e.) It is reported that M. Dc Vaudreuille, our Charge d'itiroires to t:;e Court of Madrid, has received orders from the Emperor, to notify, that his Majesty should see Wth pleasure, all differences between his Catholic Majesty, and the United States of America, anon and amicably settled. Little doubt exists but, that before now, the limits between Louisiana and Spanish Florid?, would have been arranged, had not Nisish geed and intrigues in fluenced the caaltr.'il of one, it not both parties.— (Le Clf da CaNnet j . • The Negro battalion in garrison at Mantua con sists of 800 men. They conduit themselves with great propriety, but as they will not receive any recruits, ti - eiraiumber diminishes daily. Even among these men, in that distance from Great Britain, English emissaries have penetrated. Within four weeks, upwards of sixty negroes have deserted into the Aust: ian territory, where English ships are ready at Venice to receive them General Jourdan has written to Count De Bcllegarde, tl-e Austrian Com mander in the il devant Venetiau States ; hut as no cartel for the exchange of French and Austrian deserters exists, no redress has been given. The Governor of Mantna, General Marconi, caused. however, on the 12th inst. five negroes respected of intending to desert, and holding seditious conver sations, to he immediately shot on the ramparts of the citadel. This SUMMARY justice, it is to be hoped, will restore or,ier in this corps, which, report says, as a punishment, is ordered by the Emperor to do garrison duty in some part of the cold and inhospitable region* of the Alps. The Turkish Ambaiiador here has, within these lart eight days, been made a Free Mason, and has become one of the most :alive and industrious mem bers of this society. We may not despair of seeing, at a period not fair distant, the Grand Signor, the Grand Vizier, and the Captain Pacha, instruaed in the secrets of Free Masonry, enlightened by their drniners and fellow labourers. As to the Mufti, we acknowledge that we have not the same hope wail we can he able. to aed a nee chapter tat the Also tan, proving that Mahrarra was a Grand Master of the Free Masons, as are, as a Ih o ph e r...._(,hurair de i',..r),.) Deputations from the armies and from the garri sons of Brest, Bourdeaux, Mat seines, and of ci ties, have already art ived here, to assist nt the Em peror's Coron aims. The Emperor his graciously perinitted the goarls of honou& rf dol.:sent cities through which he has passed, to send deputies here, 'to be present at the .ame ceremony. Each military person, who art iros here in the quality of a deputy, receives, during his stay. five hwy..% (foiti ssillntgs and two pats) a shy, from the Emperar'speirate purse. Two more Spanish ships, with twenty millions of dollars on board, are on their way from the liavan fah to Smite Mossiest. Solm. rt-rlestrel Prince Salm, and Au =tts us Talleyvand, the Minister's nephew, are ap p anted Chamberlains to the Emperor. The rich bapking house at Leghorn, under the firm of Nicola Maria Sassi, has stopped pay. *sent. It has failed for fourteen millions of livres (580,0).;1.), of which more than the half is due to merchants and manufafturers at Lyons, who are cr:-.lt sufferers, and many of whom will, from this occurrence, be reduced to the necessity of be coming bankrupts themselves. Several divisions of the army on the coast will eh mge their po.itions ; but there is no truth in the cepqrt, that the camps will break up, and the troops march into Winter quarters. They will visit England before they steep under any thing else bat canvass. It was yesterday reported, that the EmpetOr had again set out for the coast ; but, upon tnquity, we found that his blajesty was still at St. Cloud, though little doubt remains, bnt that such a jour they will be undertaken, particularly as the corona tion is postponed. The rumour is again common, that the expedition against England wall sail before that period. Vice•Admiul Villeneuve has left Rochefort for Toning, where he is appointeJ Conimancer in Chief. Vice-Admiral Miss'►si has sit.:..ceded him as a Commander of tiie smail squadron at 12 o.:st..fort. Ths chapel of the Chateau 7t. Les. in the beau - I. tiful valley of Montmorenci, has lately been conse crated by the Bishop of Versailles, for the use of their Imperial Highnesses Prince and Princess Louis Bonaparte, the present owner., of this chateau. According to the registers of the police, fifteen thousand two hundred foreigners, and eighty-four thousand nine hundred Frenchmen from the de partments, are already arrived here, to witness the coronatior festivities. Lodgings have, in conse quence, already risen in price three hundred per cent. GOTTENBURGH MAILS. GOTTENBURGH, OCT, 26. The French Commercial Agent, who yet resides here, has received an order from his . Government to qwt Sweden immediately. Mr. Spencer Smith, late English Minister at Stutgard, arrived here on the 221 inst. from Stral sund ; every means is taking for the defence of that fortress. STOCKHOLM, OCT. Q.I. Orders have been given for the royal carriages to repair to Ystad to meet the King and family upon their return from Stralsund, and convey them home. Great preparations are making for a general illumi nation upon their arrieal. They are expeFted about the end of the month. THE 8R11'.1511 PRESS. LONDON, SATURDAY. Novemerw 3. Errlusire, as usual, we lay before the public some more estiaAs from the small French Papers, much more interesting than the official paragraphs of adulation and calumny, which chiefly fill the columns of the 31, , ,siltur. Notwithstanding the en slaved state of the press, an observer may sometimes find in these small papers matter to expose the fa'sehood of the assertion, that France under BONA. at c is a quiet, contented, and happy country. • ‘Vere this the case, we should not read of the im prisonment, persecution, and transportation, siihout n•:, 1, of priests; that the prediaions of paid hypo crites, or of real fanatics, could cause seditious move ments; nor that military and special tribunals mas- • MEC, in one-third of France, without controul, as without feeling, or a sense of justice. On these in teresting subjeBs, the Madan, remains silent, as well as upon numbers of other occurrences, which evince the tyranny of the Corsican Bort APART r, and the baseness, but, at the same time, the impa tience, with which his French slaves wear the yoke. According to an article from Nantes, Dnsslll.lNrs has met with another defeat, and is dese:ted by his troaps, which are gone over to CII/lI,TOPIIE, who, in his turn, has instituted a Legion of !Lamar.— What a perversion of words and of sense ? Within nine months three brigands, Bonap ssr r, Dr sSA LINE% and CIIRISTOFIIE, have decorated their ac complices with an order rah d of itmorsr, for ac. tions which, in all civilised nAti9ll , , are rewarded • With j gibbet. Yesterday, the thrice v►. Beast left town to meet his father, His Ro) al Ilig!mess Mossitv who attired on Thursday, at VA] MOUS!), front Gottenhurgh. As we have already stated, the king of 1. a AIICL'S residence will not he so' long in Sweden as was first intended; His MAJcsrt having, according to the desire of the Emperor of Russia, and King of Paussia, determined to return to Warsaw, and to remain there until something shall have been finally settled, respelling the just c!aims of the 'Bowsaws Family, so nearly conneaed with the destiny of all other lawful Imperial or Royal dynasties. This fact is the best answer to the late paragraph in the k . rench papers, pretending that the Emperor of Rt:SSIA, on aCC:intn of his con itenion with Bus a %arc's Government, would not permit the King of FRANCE to reside in his domi nions. It is reported .that Lord lia anon IT commeni cated yesterday to the other members of our Cabi net, a very spirited memorial concerning the late outrageous violation of the laws of nations, by L.l - in the seizure of Sir GEORGE Rt•steot.u, which, as soon as it has been laid before the KING, and obtained His MAJESTY'S approbation, will be diatributed among the members of the foreign di plomatic corps in England, and sent with extra cou riers to all the Continental Courts not under the im mediate controul and tyranny of the barbarous Cor- sicAzi. Vaious rumours prevail in our diplomatic circles, concerning a pretended change in the Spanish Go vernment, and the appointment of the Queen of SPAIN as Regent, on account of the indisposition of her Royal Consort. We have beard several other particulars ; but, as we have not been able to trace them to any authentic source, we must, for the present, decline laying them before the public. as they are of a nature which, if true, may be the forerunners of another political revolution, to ztehtch Bos A ?Aare cannot be a stranger. It was reported yesterday, that one of our fri gates, lately employed in blockading the Elbe, has arrived in the River, with a I , •ge quantity of bul lion and dollars. This reasure; is said to ',elong to :he city of Hamburgh, and txt tuve ueen sent to England for safety. This spews at once the appre hensions the people of klamburgh arc under, from the rapacity of Bus AP A lITE'S marauders, and their confidence in the honour, justice, and security of England. W . e are concerned to state, that the loss sustained by the late Hurrisiane in the Leeward Islands does not appear to have been much exaggerated by the first reports. It blew for three consecutive days, from the 4th to the fitli of September inclusive, without intermission. The number of vessels lost during this dreadful interval, was, At St kart Antigua 5.1 St. liArtholounetv . . . . . . . St. Thomas'. 4 It appears to have been most fatal at St. Kitt's, where every vessel was lost. Of the fifty-nine that were lost at Antigua, one was a packet ; that which was wreck , tl at Dominica is said to have been a frigate. The majority of the above number are said to have been Americans. Ot the vessels lost at St. Thomas's, five, wr understand, were English. Some repo-ts carry the whole number of English vessels loit upon this melancholy occasion as high as 130; hut we hope and believe that it is exagge rated. A particular account of the effeas of this storm, and of the hurricane at Charleston, will be found in the last page. A Lisbon Mail arrived yesterday, brought to Fah• mouth by t;ie .:nmend Packet, after a passage of six days.— Letters from Gibraltar, by this convey ance, give a melancholy account of the progress of the fatal disease that has broken oat in that garrizt. A Dublin Mail arrived yesterday, with papers and letters to the 30th. Of the four persons lately arrested near Leighlin Bridge, and brought to Dublin, one has been liberated. The 30,000 armed rebels, that lately appeared in a Lon don Evening Print, are thus reduced to three suspeaed persons. As to the new and extra ordinary fortifications ereaed in the Castle of Dub lin, by the same Print, they consist of a suite of apartments which ;re fitting up for the accommoda tion of Mr. Ft/stele! ! ! Yesterday a Court of Direftors was held at the fast India House, when the undermentioned Cap trios were swore into the command at their re spraive ships, viz. . .

Accounts from Spain, by way of Amsterdam, announce the decline of the malignant fever, which has raged at Malaga. It. is reported that Parliament, which is con vened for the 27th inst. will be still further pro rogued to the 17th of January. Admiral Coamwat.i.is has been again forced to return to Torhay with twelve of his fisiet. The Boulogne squadron has also been driven from its station.
