SOLEM QUIZ DICERS FALSUM AUDEAT _ = 63 LONDON, MONDAY, JANUARY 12, 1807. WE stopped the Press on Saturday to announce the arrival of the Hambwyllt, Cgrrespondenten of the 3d instant„ and to extra& sortie of its most important contents. Yesterday Foreign Papers of as late a date as Wednesday last arrived : copious Extra&s from both will be found in _our subsequentcolumns. - The intelligence which they brirg is of considerable itn .portance, as it .shews that tile Russians have steadily adhered to their determination of avoiding a general battle with the French ; and the advantages which they hare-derived from the system which they. have adopted are even admitted by the enemy. In a for mer. Bulletin, BONAPARTE peevishly complained that the Russians "were determined to bury themselves in the earth, and he seemed only to regret that he could not come up l vvith them. But the language of the last Bulletins is very much altered. The French congratulate themselves upon having taken a very . strong position, and some pains are taken to shew that they cannot be successfully attacked by those , very Troops whom the French complained a few weeks ago that they could not find. The great anxiety which BONAPARTE has displayed to colle& the whole of his Army in Poland, is a proof that he -considers himself rather in a perilous situation. It• was repbrted yesterday, that MORTIER'S Division had received orders to join the main Army, and that the Troops had mu'inied and refused - to march. We hnow not upon what authority this report rests, aild.we are much inclined to doubt the truth of it. The report of an Epidemic Disease having broken but in the French Army is contradiEted in the most positive mann'er; and so.great is the anxiety to prove that the French Army is not suffering under any. tOntagious disorder, that even the Hospitals arc de dared to be in a, most healthy state. The weather - 1; represented as being peculiarly favourable, and !li French Army are said to enjoy the warmth o f tutunanal suns, in the middle of December, on v;cfnlf, cind in arl,l singularity or these accounts, we-are told that the roads have been rendered , almost unpnsgable by a thaw,which does not appear to have been preceded by. afrost. Upon the whole, we congider the intel ligence brought by - these Papers as highly favourable, because it is to be recolle&ed that, those statement s are given by the French themselves ; and if they had any successes or advantages to boast of, we know that they are not disposed to conceal them. greater part of the French Army have crossed the Vistula, and lave taken 'a position on the Bug and the-Narew. It does not appear that the Allied Army have changed their-position. One of the Spanish papers, received by the Lis ton Mail which arrived on Saturday, states, that a French Divison under ,Admiral ROSILLY, had reached Cumand, on the Spanish Main. It is said to consist of .5 Sail :of .the Line and a Frigate, and the names of the vessels are mikritioned. We are however enabled to state positively, that every one of the Ships which ate said to have arrived at Cumana were in Cadiz harbour on the 2 1 St. of last month. The Nereide Frigate has carried into Madeira a Spanish Corvette, laden with, arms, ammuni tion, and Officers (French and Spanish), bound to the Caraccas. _ DISPATCHES have been. received at the Admiralty from Lord COLLINGIVd.OD, state, that be had received ,Advices from _Sir SIDNBY Sturm, mention that the Inhabitants' of Calabria had again risen e/i masse; and that he entertained great hopes of the success of their exertions against the. Fiench. THE very high winds which pievailed ioon"after the Expedition . under Gen. CRAUFpRI) sailed;: oc' casioned some. uneasiness for Its safety. We are happy. to have it in our power, to state, that on the 7th December it paased Madeira, all well. Theoh jea of. this Expedition is not course known, but it seems to be the general opinion that it is destined to attack the Mauritius and the' Isle of Bourbon; the possession,. of which• have enabled the French to do so much injury to our Indian Trade in the last and in the present Wars. Privateers . of a very large size have been fitted Out at those Islands, which, not withstanding the utmost vigilance of our Naval Of ficers in those Scas,7 have been but too successful in their *redations. The capture of these Colonies would therefore be of most essential service to this Country, both in a Military and a Commercial • point Of view. Their capture would 'also be most important on account of the immense pro perty which has been colle&ing in those Colonies for some time, and which the .French have not had an opportunity of bringing home. We are inclined to believe that the Expedition has an ulterior objea, and that 'is to attack .Manilla, 'which was taken in . . 1762 by Admiral CORKISEi and Sir W. DRAnnx. THE Order in Council, respeEting the Trade of Neutrals with the Enemy, appeared in the Gazette of Saturday. We stated the substance of it accu rately-on Friday last. Lord HOWICK'S observations on _the recall of Sir H. Porn Ant and Sir D. BAIRD, and his' Lordship's allusion to the Patriotic Fund,. continue to excite the spleen of the Writers of Opposition. The case was stated in THE SuN of the egth of December; and it was represented that Lord-I-lowicK was corn pelled, in hts own vindication, to-reply -to the ani madversions of Mr. CANNING, and to explain the motives which induced him to advise the recall' of those Officers. The reasons which influenced Mi nistem were then urged, and have since been 'so much discussed, that they•ned not noW be 'repeated. But as the jnstification of the CounUittee of the Patriotic Fund • is' a daily pretence for the condemnation of the conduce} of Ministers upon this sUbje6f, the sophistly which is used may claim some nonce. It is said that the Members of the Committee " expressed their sentiments on things as they appeared to theM and to the Coun try—that they did not pronounce an opinion on the whole case, but on so' much of it only as was known —and that they did not decide. upon the PrOpriety oe• Impropriety of Sir H. Porn Am's conduct in under taking the Expedition, but presumed ; as they I A I a right to 'presume, that the •Expedition was properly undertaken." I f this argument be allowed to have any weight, it must be fountlel on the supposition that the candth of that alicer had not been previously ques tioned in this instance; that his recall tbr a deviation from his•duty had not been rumoured ; :1,11(1 that, the complaints, which have •: since been announced r were not then suspeaed, and much less subjeas of :notoriety. The reverse is unfortunately the fail, and a single circumstance will at once refute this reasoning, and tend to elucidate and establish -a ground on which disapprobation of. the Pairiotic :Fund has been expressed. .The Gazette announcing the capture of Buenos Ayres was published on the evening of Saturday, 13th of September; the Courier of Monday, the 15th, itaitnated some doubts Irctoin.A;ll, ati AniNinn tortf sar n :•• I C4,mrnment:in regard to the concTuaof the Officer; crigaged i&1 the,Eitterprise, and 'on the following day 'th'eir.Jecall was notified in the'same Paper. With- Otit referring to intimations at any,other tim in the piibli Prints, it is notorious that a report :universally prevailed that Sir H. PoruAm was recalled, and the cause of hip recall was not. disguised. It' is •ma nifest, therefore, that the Members of the Com mittee, in voting a Reward to Sir ki...PorEA.,m;.have prejudged his case, and are thus at issue with Government on a question in which peculiar deli cacy was requisite, and in which delay at least was an obvions - daty.. The principle on which the Patri otic Fund is established, - and the evident tenilency of the Institution, attach a peculiar charader to . its deci sions, and to the rewards which it dispenses. Yesterday morning His MAJESTY, Princesses AU GUSTA, SOPHIA, and AMELIA, attended by Ladies MACCLESFIELD and WYNNE, rode to St. George's Chapel, Windsor; where a Serrnon_was preached by the Rev. Dr. MAESHAM, from the sth chapter of St. John, 3gth verse. The Budget will be opened before' the end .of the present month. Last year's taxes proVed so produdive, that the Minister is net expeEted to move for a loan exceeding twelve cr fifteen millions: If a Russian Subsidy be found necessary, it will pro bably in - crease the demand to three millions more, for which the Capitalists of this opulent 'country ate amply prepared.

Sunday ..Pronae nade was -yesterday, notwithstanding- the intense coldness of the ptmosphere, very numerously attend- ed by pedestri:in•`; and equestrians. The Ladies in the walk were bat few, and Kensington Garden's, from the Clamp, «ere almost wholly without:visitors. • Letters from Guernsey say, that - the en-my is making every exertion, at Havre and Cherbourg, and all along that coast, to fit out Ships of War. A Havre they have two Frigates of . the largest class ,and at Cherbourg a Ship of 'fifty guns, all ready for sea, and full of men. At the litter port .they have a 74 and a Frigate on the stocks,.

All the troops - froth the coast and interior have been sent to the-armies. • - - I 3 a lierlin Newspaper the following anecdote is given " On the(Hth of October', while the Emperor'' I'CAPOLEON had his head-quarters . at Auma, there were two prisoners brought before him early in the morning, who had been arrested as spies; It.Foon became evident, however, that they .were very honest when they were separately -examined, and .their depositions compared. ' The one was the, only son of a celebrated Scots Baronet, Sir Jontst m ScLaili,who had studied at Gottingen, and having been upon a visit at Gotha, was now travelling through the midst of the PrtiSsian army to Leipsic. His companion was a chaplain from Gotha. ' The young Scotsman-had in his pocket-book a, plan of study,. drawn up 'by his father, and soon manifested his innocence. The Emperor had a conversation with him junto his companion about 3 o'clock in the morning, .and as soon as he had learned that the Prussians as yet knew nothing of his being in their neighbourhood, he turned round anti exclaimed, " its se tremperant serieuseincnt, ces perruques :". (as much as to say, " These, wise-acres have deceived themselves most egregiously.") The young Gen tlemen were immediately dismissed in a friendly manner, and provided with passports." THE OPERA.—As CATALINI was suddenly taken ill on Saturday last, the serious Opera of &infra inide was not performed, and printed bills were cir culated to:prevent the public from being disappoint ed. The Theatre; however, was a` ~ well attended aS if nothing new had occurred, for the truth is, that fashion rather than taste is the great support of , the'Opera-house. he new cdmie Opera was substituted, but Madame PERINI was also too much indisposed to be heard. This _sudden illness ~of CATALINI was considered as a confirmation - of the report that her husband had been taken into custody as a person who had been too nearly connected with p o NAPARTE to be properly suffered to remain in this country.—We do not, however, hear that there is foundation for this story, , • , The Twelfth CAke the.wine that were ptir loitied from the room 'in which they were deposited. 'at Covent Gard.nt Tlleatre, have at length been covered. They s;verereinoVeld into a place in which the Buss Viol is generally placed. But though these delicions, refreshments have thus fortunately• been recovered, the Musicians, it seems, have been put quite,olit of trine, by the ridicule which the loss excited, and instead of feasting in. concert, they all went Off in afugue., 'The .so much talked-of trotting-match between the Manchester mare; that won at Simbury a few days ago, and another, called Phenomenon, takes place this day, so far from the Metropolis - as Cam 'bridge. They are to start on the road to Hunting don, and go eight miles, and then return the same distance. Many thousand pounds are pending on , .this match. Sattirday • a match of pigeon' shooting took place between two sportsmen, of the names of Green and Wilkinson,iva.meadow between Kilburn and Hen don, for -100-guineas, which should kill the greatest number of pigeons at :5 shots. Mr. Green:missed his second bird and his twelfth, and Mr. Wilkinson his first and fifteenth. The competitors, conscious of superiority, •waited the arrival of more birds, and by mutual consent killed 25 pigeons, in shooting off the ties. Mr. Green made the first missy after hav ing killed 1 1 birds successively, and lost the Match. . A DANCE AND A BATTLE.—Capt.BETTESWORTH, of the Crocodile Sloop of War, and hiS Officers, were present at the splendid ball wirch was given at the e-istle Inn, on Monday night, at Brighton.— On retiring from the ball-room early in the morn ing, they went on board their vessel, which was at anchor off that town. They had scarcely got on board when they saw an Enemy's Privateer, which they, pursued, attacked, and captured, in a very 'short time_ ArA rAL AT E s. Freon the LONDON GAZETTE, Yr.!. ►e.
