)3y a French Mail which arrived this morning, a ,Letter was received from Calais, of which the fol lowing is an Extradt " I hav , e the honour to inform you, that the rIRST CONWL set out from Paris the zoth of \Tsp.. demiaire (od. .rz) to go to Rouen, - Havre, Bagilagne, Calais, Dunkirk, &c. Such is the report of the day. We exped him here. the beginning of net week. What I can assure you. is,, that M. .11/IENGAuo, Commissary-General, has set out to-day to meet • him." This cannot but excite some astonishment and uneasiness in this Country, if the information may be considered as authentic, and we can see no good reason for doubting it. The intentions of the CHIEF Cortsut. will probably be revealed to us only by aciion, and it is perb:.;ps no great violence to probability, if we entertain the suspicion, that the visit of the C;IIEF . C . P;N:47JL to. the Sea ports opposite to the Englit , h Coast, is no very favourable oaten for this Country, We have within these few days endeavoured to open to the Polotic / Mind, the situation cf this country with iespeC - t to the French Alliance. The circumstances ktween the two Countries, we will frankly own, excite apprehensions in our mind, that the con tinuance 4: -, 1 Peace cannot be long. We are satis. tied that Ministers will do every thing in their power for the preservation of 'Peace, but Sacrifices ay be demanded, which the Honour and Interests of the Country forbid any Ministers to make. Much as we desire Peace, we must ever think War a lesser evil than Dishonour. 7j/E yestcraay received the Moniteur of the 14th itlst, which is nearly filled with Proclamations ; 4 w:4 Ly General LECLERC, respeCiing the , 41d F_eligious Lstablishments of St. Dcmingo. It contains no intelligence from Squ;tzeriatrd; indeed; during the whole course of the late cvents z in that Country, the Alcutifeur has preserved a profound si. lence upon the subjea. A Hamburg's and a Dutch Mail reached Town this morning. We have extraaed from a Paper called the NOsevelliste Vaudois, the terms of . the Armistice agreed upon between the Swiss Troops and the Frei:..-11 Party. The'ArmistiCe is to con tinue - Until General RArr . returns to Lausanne with the determination of the Diet of Schrzatz, and twenty-four hours notice is to, be given previous to the recommencement of hostilities. General NEY has received his appointment as General-. in Chief of the,Forces that are to aft against S.iwiizeriand. Two Battalions of Troops have marched from Stiasburgh, arid others have set out from Weissembourg and Landau; they are to assemble at Huninguen, on the. Frontiers of Sewitzerland. It is confidently asserted that Citizen SCH tm tIELPENNINCi cvilh be nominated to the .I3atavian Diredory, ..which will of course supersede his ap pointment of Ambassador to this Csuntry. The. KING. will hold a Levee at Sr. James's Pa lace on. Wednesday next. Mr. ,GLosTER, late Attorney-General of St. Vincent, is appointed to the like office in Tri nidad. A Regiment of Light' Dragoons, which has for some time past been stationed at the Cape of Good Hope, has received orders, instead of returning home, as was at first intended, to proceed to India, with the other troops from that Settlement. The' Burracks at Norman Cross, which, during the last year of the War, served as a receptacle for Prisoners of War, were lately advertised to be sold by Government : but within these few days past the order to that efEta has been countermanded. The 93d Regiment of Foot arrived at Leith, from Guerocey, on the'l fth inst. Two troops of. the itst )aiagoons on Wednesday arrived at Exeter from f ritrVbfidge. The 26;11 Regiment, felieVed at Plymouth by the §t h, are under orders for Scotland, to recruit— they go to Leith by sear` The Letters from Gibraltar again confidently as. •sert, that .Ftwe,e.has obtained from the DaY of At,= z#Rs-the cession of two Ports in that country, but it does not clearly appear, upon what authority this statement is made. The same letters also speak of French,' Spanish, and-Dutch ships of the Line con tinuallyspassing through the Streights. The trade of Gibraltar is rapidly increasing, urn. der theauspices of the. present Governor. Mo n ey' is extremely plenty,, and landed prOperty of every description sells at an astonishing price, his Royal Highness, since his arrival there, having adopted every measure that -appeared likely to contribute to the welfare aiid security, of the. place. His Royal Highness has lately begun ereting _Bar racks for t Soo men of Windmill -hill, in a plea sant healthy situation : the troops' (hOth ,officers and men) having hitherto been greatly crowded in the most wretched - barracks that could possibly be imagined. Private letters'from the Hague speak confidently .of a conspiracy having 'been formed to overthrow - the Existing Government of the Batavian Republic, and add, that Citien-SomoriviLLo waited on the President of the Government, on the 9th instant, and declared to him, in the name of the FIRST CONSUL, that the latter had heard with astonish_ . ment and indignation, that persons were disposed to interrupt the tranquillity the Batavian Republic, and that as the - Ally =o f the-- Republic, he invited its Government to concert every possible measure for the maintenance of the order of things establish. ed by the Constitutionr---- The Palace of St. Cloud, according to Leiters from Paris; his cost in its repairs and - decors. tions; no less than Eight Millions of 'Livres ..(320,0001.) This sum, it is now found, has been •expended to no purpose, as that Chateau; with all the additional buildings is found to be totally inade. 'quate to the intended purpOses. It 'is, therefore, in conteMplation -to remove the Consular Court to Versailles. The Architeas 'who hav'e been consult ed; say,• that not less -than twerity.five millions (a-million sterling) will be . requiled to put this once superb Palace in a condition to Teceive the 'First Consul. • • - The court now' paid to BONAPARTE by the new French Bishops, and their incessant adulation, of him, betrays in them at least no great degree of consistency. We have not yet heard of 'a single English Prelate having as yet been waiting in the antiehamber of his Consular Majesty's Court. tart-PERCY, son of the Duke of NORTHUMB E R LAND, has been admitted at Sr. John's College, in right of 1 4 4obility.

The' Magistrates of Essex are naive in cl,74ring that county . of the numerous vagrants viiicbhave lately infested it. The Corporation of Liverpool has granted an annuity of 20-guineas a year to the widow of one of their servants, killed during the late fire in that town. Two gentlemen - -having occasion to go from town to Highgate, and back-again l on Friday evening, observed in the way,ilherewere many lamps out ; on their return, they had the curiosity.to count the number of lamps from the four mile stone on High gate to Holloway turnpike, and found there were 62, out of which 27 had burnt out ; this was before half-past ten at night, and no wind stirring whatever. It, is to be feared, that the vigilance of the Police at this alarming period will be much rounteraded by such scandalous negled of. the Lamp e . ..6ner. , !6'.:r for th: Tras.tt..es of the Highgate And Haan tati • i„ - NAVAL NEWS. ft • / C- PLYMOUTH,, Oc r. t 6. • AIR I ti E D the Snow Nelly, Capt.

Indianian, for 13ornbay,.and rem.iins in the DoWns, being detained by a Southerly. wind. GIBRALTAR, SUPT. 23. ON the morning of the i9th we had a most yip_ lent storm - . of thunder and lightning ; which ; did' considerable damage to -our Squadron,. in "the Bay, .and which, if it bad continued hail an hour longer, would most probably have disabled the whole Fl t, as none of the Ships were prqvi.led with chain_ . conduaors to guard them from the effeCts - of light ning. the first Ship which was struck was the Gib raltar, ..of So guns, and f . rotri the diredion which the lightoing„took, _close to the magazine, it seems almost a miracle that it..was n 2,1 blown up. A tremendous flash of lightning struck the fore-top, gallant mast-head, split the fore top_niast, and shivered the fore-toast into a thousand pieces, driv inglarge splinters of it as far •aft as "`the. quarter, deck. . From, the fore-mast it passed into the light_ room, close to ;he magazine, shivering the whole of the strong,plate glass to pieces ; and from thence into the Gunner's :store-room, 'where it completely destroyed several boxes of grape-shot, after which its prog,rmcOuld be traced no farther. Fortunately only two men were hurt by the stroke—one of then), however, was severely scorched. A dreadful flash shortly afterwards struck the Allifve frigate, which split the top-gallant Mast, and carried away _ the main-top mast, in .a most singular manner, several feet of the whole body of the mast completely disappearing, not a vestige of that part of it was to be found after the ex plosion. The main-mast was split in several places, and, the ship's butcher, who was standing near it, With his cleaver in his hand, was killed dead on the spot ; and almost every person- on the deck was knocked down by the violence of the shock. The lightning was observed Jo play like a large stream. of.fire for a short time about the deck, and on dis- . appearing left a strong sulphureous smell behind. • The Superb and Dragon Were also both struck ; the former had her ,main-top-gallant,. and also the binnacle on the quarter deck, carried away ; the latter ship was not injured, though the lightnog, passed all round the Captain's cabin, running alOng the bell-wires. The Gibraltar and Aaive have both been ob liged to go , into the Mole to repair their damages, which it is believed will amount to upwards of five thousand pounds. Our late allied enemies appear to be gradually colleting a large naval force in the Mediterranean, as hardly a week elapses that some French, Spanish, or Dutch ships of the line, do not pass the Streights. Two Dutch ships of the line, two frigates, and a corvette, passed lately. The French still possess both Leghorn and .Genoa ; they are also going to fortify and garrison two harbours belonging to the Algermes„ and are spreading themselves every where round these shores ; so that if we once give up: Malta; ive shall hardly have a single friendly harbour..for our fleets, in •the Mediterranean, in the event of another war. A man of war's cutter has arrived! , this morning in z 8 days from Malta. When she sailed we had not begun to evacuate that Island. The Fortuper Frigate, Capt. CLEMENTS, which received considerable damage in going into the Ttxel, has been repaired in the New Diep, and sailed for Sheerness. The 'Decade Frigate, Capt. 11..wriiiitFORD, is paid off, and laid up in ordindry, DUTCH, AND lIAMBURGII MAILS, LAUSANNE, Oct. 7.
