We received last night, we believe exdsiicriq, • some small French Papers up to the 14th instant, or one day later than any possessed by our context)- . P ( Awarjel. BONAPARTE is said to have been accept ed as mediator, both by 'pain and America, to set tle their differences. General Ak stir Immo, the new American Minister in France, is arrived at Paris, with the acknowledgment of the Usurper as an Em. peror of the French, by his government. The Span ish Commander at St. Ruch is reported to have asked for reinforcements of troops to di Neilsen his cordon round Gibraltar. Among other persons in General BOURNONV&LI l's suite, on his return as ao Ainbassador to the Court of Madrid, are two Aid-de-('amps, and one of TALLIVRANDPII Secre taries. A paragraph in the Joeu.nal de Pori: states, that General Mosta Li, his wife, and child, have died of the yellow fever at Cadiz. This is, b o w. ever, contradiaed by another paper, upon the sup. position that this General had Jailed for Majorca. it is curious enough, and 'hews bath the jealousy and malice of the Usurper agaiust this rival, that 41 _ this is the first time, for the last four months, that any notice is taken in the Pans papers, even of the name of this great and unfortunate Genera!, to whom France owes more thin to the Corsican. Since the capture of Sir G coma Rusuot. ts, the French marauders from Hanover cross the Elbe, upon parties of plunder and outrage, as if they were parties of pleasure. Hardly a night passes, that some of them do not alarm neutral Denmark as well as neutral Hamburgh and Mecklenburgh, by their landing, or attempts to land. Every per son therefore. who is a British subjeet, or is suspeiled of being more inch red to England than to France, is in daily apprehension of being seized by BONA• PARTS'S banditti. Not only all the beautiful villas round Hamburgh are entirely deserted, but all men of chintzier, spirit, and property, within the walls of the city of Hamburgh, have removed their papers and most valuable effects, into the houses of the Foreign and Neu tral Ambassadors, expeCting, every day, that BE. NADOTTE will be ordered by his master to garrison, or, at least, to make domiciliary visits in that free, teertral, and Imperial Hanse Town, which I has so often and so liberally paid for its inde pendence and liberty, promised by France, and guaranteed by Prussia. We are informed of the above particulars by a gentleman just arrived from the Continent, who, as evidence that the Corsican tyranny still extends to the South, as well as to the North, of Germany, was requested by one of the Franckfort Senators not to continue, as usual, in that city after the fair was over, as the Senate had not in its power to answer fur his safety. As the chiefs of the French brigands in Germanz ir do not suspett, or seem to desire to tare any persons but men of large property, many suppose that, besides the poli tical interest of BoNAPARTE, they regard their o,en. There is a list circulated upon the continent, con• taming the names of the most respeaable British subjeth for loyalty and property, settled in several continental cities, all su Teed by BONAPARTE, whom his emissaries watch, and his satellites are Anxious to take. In this number, Mr. Hope, at Amsterdam; Messrs. Canwrorter and SMITH, at Rotterdam; Mr. Ho m tr as, at Franckfort ; Messrs. POPE, THORN TON,SSIITH, PARISH, STEVENS, GOO ice. at Hamburght and Messrs. HUTCHIN• SON, HALL, &c. at Altona. As, however, this list was strewn on the Exchange at Hamburgh on the 13th instant, it is supposed, that the gentlemen honoured with BONAPARTE'S proscription will be upon their guard. A private letter from Hamburgh of the 16th, an nounces an attempt of another outrage against the law of nations. It says, "In the night, between the 14th and 156 inst. the French made another attempt to carry off some person from the Danish territory on the bank of the Elbe, but failed in their design, the objeft of their pursuit having made his escape. It is supposed they meant to have seized General SON rAc, in the service of England." The part ) . that went to arrest General SONT AO, landed near 12 atsv la az's, nut of the town of Altona. The soldiers and officers had only their side arms. It was past ten when they went to the lodging of the General, and desired to speak with him; fortunately he supped with a friend, and was not at home. 'Three entered and seventeen surrounded the house. Having missed their prey, they went back to the restaurateur Rs:ova' Os, where they remained until three , o'clock the next morning, when they returned to I larburgh. Gen. Somr Ao is Ins pected by the French of aiding the escape of Ha noverian soldiers to England. Another letter from liamburgli, of the same date, says : .• Last Wednesday evening the French made another attempt at a caap de masa. in violating the Altona territory, with the view, it is said, of seiz ing Messrs. Immo:rum and PA x ism, English mer chants, whose country houses art at a village coati• guous to Altona, called Ottensen. The French had intelligence from their spies, that, notwithstand ing the advanced state of the season, those Gentle men still passed the nights with nit tae gates at their villas. To effect their purpose, General Fat mix, and some other French officers, came over from Har burgh, in coloured clothes, di ted at a place call •d Slavenisof, from whence they proceeded, very early in the morning, when Sir Groans Itcssacito was seised. The boatmen, however, who brought thrm over, judging from the circumstance of all the other vessels in liarburgh being detained when the officers sailed, that their expedition was of a parti cular nature, gave information of what they had seen to the President of the G ivernment at Altuna The latter, after interrogating the men, made his report to the Military Commandant, Major EWAVO, who served in the Hessian Legion in the American war. H•• immediately ordered a detachment of one hundred of his chAsseurs, and a squadron of dra goons, to occupy the village of Ottensen. All the ►urghers and the military garrison at Altona were also ordered to be in readiness to march. " About eight o'clock in the evening, it being -, 1 1 then moon-light, four liglAlrs, contail.itig about sixty or seventy font soldiers, completely armed, and having their officers with them, were descried approaching the Holstein shore. Upon Cis, the Commanding Officer of the Danish Chasseurs, ac companied by the hussars, and all his men, whom he ranged in a line along the beach, hailed the French Officer in his own language, and informed him, " that at the territory was neutral, and &lunged to Kis DANISH MAJESTY, any violation that might i,e at. templid, he had orders from his SOVEREIGN to reinthe .fr,re .f OPIUM" The Frenchmen, after mutter ing a confus.ml short reply, which could not be understood, remained a few minutes longer, and, with great difficulty, obtained some refreshments. in gin, brandy, bread, and cheese, for his men ; after which he sailed back to Harburgh. A third private letter from — Hamburgh, of the same date, says " The men, who plundered the English and Hanoverian messengers of their dis patches on the Mecklenburgh territory, were mount ed French Chasseurs, of the ri-deount regiment of Alsace, encamped near Luneburgh, who all speak the German language. They wore their full accou trements ; but their regimentals were covered with a great coat, like a farmer's frock, and, instead of their uniform caps, they had on their heads large German hats. The Chief of these banditti was an officer of Bon•r•azt's guard, who had been in waiting for the English messenger near a week. It is said here, that this officer's name is Jur rats, or Jura !I A ; that he is the same person who last June seized the bag of English letters in their way from Berlin to Warta'', and that he is the second, under FOUCH in the internal and executive haul pairs. Ten years ago, though only seventeen years of age, he was an :valve and cruel terrorist under Ro nest resat, and caused several hundred persons to be murdered at B-urdeaux in 1794. 1 have heard it reported here, that rAL LEY R AND and Foust+ had seen, from Sir GEORGE. RUMIOLD'S papers, that a messenger with some dispatches of great consequence was soon to be expeCted from England, which WAS the cause of this at of outrage. I have been in company with several French officers from the garrison of Har burgh, who pride themselves upon the adroitness of their ftry.l - nnicnt to pc:.2trate into th e secrets 1 1 of all cabinets ; ono of them, a Lieutenant-Colonel, told use, that the English messenger was ex peeled to bring with him same new instrulions to the British ambassadors boat in Russia and Prussia, as the negociations between England and these countries and courts had, since the capture of the Spanish frigates, taken a new and unforeseen turn.' He added, should we possess these inte resting documents. they will soon appear in the Afaaitear as found am mg the papers of Sir Geo aor. Ru aot.n ; and who can prove the contrary ?' Without giving implicit faith to die boasting of this gasconader, his assertion, though indiscreet, is not destitute of probability, and may prove ti ue. Both the Prussian and Danish Ministers here have already demanded from their courts piquet: of light troops, to escort their couriers front station to station." A Cabinet Council sat yesterday at Lord HMl nor/Ws Office, Downing-street. It was att-ndad by the CH aIiCELLOR of the Excutqutrt, Earl of CAMDEN, Lord MELVILI E.

The Europe, BONNEY, from Africa, is con demned and sold at St. Thomas's, in consequence of having received damage in the late hurricane. A letter from an officer on board the Diamond frigate, off Ferrol, states, that of the three millions of dollars, which were landed in that harbour, from the Spanish frigate, which so narrowly escaped from being captured by the Spartiak, one million and a half had already been seat, under escort, to Bun AAAAA F., by way of Bayonne. _l___ THEATRES. • Last night Mr. ELLISI __ J Dal again - 1 01 T tom ...„. appeared th i character of Ifons;rt with increased success, :IQ re ceived continual plaudits Isom a cowded austierso Matedsmon?, gains upon the public. lVe must alsv o regret Mrs. JORDAN had not a more brillia nt i allotted to her.
