LE ISSEGNES, REAR-ADMIRAL, TO THE MINISTER Or Mr/RINE AND COLONIES. " Road of Totthn, Scpt . 26, 1802. " CITIZEN ESINISTER, " I have had the Honour to address to you the-restilf of my oPeutions at Algiers. The, present Dispatch . eciritains those 4t Tunis. ‘, On the 16th of August I Get ,u• - rutab, 'With jhe Division under my orders. After experiencing Calms and contrary winds, I entered at length the Road of Tunis on the 27th of August. " After having employed the day of the zgth in giiing the • necessary orders to the Captains, I landed on the 3oth, accompanied by four Captains and twenty-five Officers from the ditferent "Ships. On my passage the Fort of Goulette saluted me with a discharge of thirteen pieces of cannon. Ofi my arrival at the Marine, t found the Commissary-Ge bera , the Chancellor, and the French Merchants establish " a'..Tunis, who accompanied me to the House of the Corn tlissariat. " On the 31st, accompanied by the Commissary-General, the Captains, my Officers, and the Punch Merchants, I Proceeded in state to Barde (the residence of the Bev), about a league from Tunis. Being introduced to the BEY my Suite, I advanced towards him, and took him by t he hand, which he gave me very atfeclionately : Having s eated myself by his side, I said to him, " that the First Consul had ordered me to anchor in the Road of 'Tunis, that I might make known to him that the First Consul had been informed that the Christian Slaves who were at the G agne were ill-treated ; that many of them had perish " Miserably under the blows they had received ; that the Firt Consul wished I should Inform him, that be :ing at peace with the Neapolitans, and the other Powers of til e Mediterranean, he desired that if the BEY continued t° flake Christian . Slaves, he would ensure them sub stence, treat them as Prisoners of War,and no longer use them 411 that many Slaves had been taken by his Corsairs four years 6iric e, in a descent on the Isle of Saint Pierre ; th a t the s e un ' 4.Qrtunate Sardinians having been arrested in the house of the 4 Di - it of the French Republic, the First Consul expeaed they Would beset at liberty. As to any thing further, the It irstCon -3ul desired that the ancient commercial relations might be re tewed between Africa and the Coasts of France, and hoped t r ! la t the B EY w ou ld pr o teft our Commerce, and prohibit his -or sairs from insulting the French Flag, and tha t o f t h e Italian Republic." " lie answered, that he was much flattercit by the de sire of the Fi rs t C onsu l to b e on goo d terms w i t h the Regency, which was also his greatest desire ; and that the desires of the First Consul being just and reasonable, he f"td acced e to t h em w i t h a ll hi s h eart. As to any thing Lhrth - cr, he would send an Env o y to Franc e , to treat w i t h .ne _ _ 44 • He then served us with coffee, and took some with us (Iv'li' • - cit is a mark of the greatest distinction and politeness th at this Prince could confer.) 11 I afterwards went to the First Minister; who received with great distindion ; and I received visits from the Charge des Affaires of England, Holland,' Spain, Denmark, ‘eden, and the United States. `` On the 3d September, the BEY sent on board my Ship ! Ile Of his Great Officers, who was charged with a consi aerable present for me of Oxen, Sheep, Fowls, &c. " I saluted him with seven pieces of Cannon. `` On the 4th, I received a similar present from the First pa :` . On tee the sth, th e Fi rst M inister, according to invitation, cl a visit on board : he was attended by a numerous • After dinner I had the exercise of the great guns and 'llsquetry performed before them, with which they we:: rauei titii h etl. At then arrival .`.ad upoli ti it deprti:le, they were saluted with fifteen pieces cf cannon. The First Minister, on 'pitting the ship, left a sum of about 6000 livres, which I caused to be distributed among the Crews of the different Ships. " The 7th, I sent the First Minister a present of Stuffs, Brocade's, &c. the Manufaaures of Lyons. " On the loth the Commissary-General celebrated the mination of the First Consul to the Consul Ship for life. The different Ships of the Squadron fired each a salute of i t guns upon the occasion. " The sith, the Commissary-General and I went to Barde. When we were introduced to the BEY, I again de manded the liberty of the twenty-two Individuals whose Mothers were born in the Island of Corsica. He granted me their liberty after some hesitation, but complained at the same time, that several Slaves had effeaed their escape by means of our Sailors. I offered to p 4 ransom for all those Slaves who had escaped in that manner. It was during this audience that he requested me to give the Am bassador he was going to send to congratulate the FirSt Con sul, on his being appointed Consul for life; a passage on board my Ship. He also requested that I would acebmpany him to Paris. I consented to his request, and we parted very. good friends. " On the xsth I took leave of the BLY; who loaded me with marks of friendship and esteem. " On the 19th the Ambassador came on board; and on the loth I set sail for Tunis, where I anchored this day.— There are no symptoms of the Plague at Tunis, and I have the satisfacliou of stating that I did not lose one man.

VIENNA, SEPT. 17. —It is confirmed, :that the 'two Ambassadors from the Imperial Court, the Count CogEN-rzEt. ;it Paris, and the Count de SAuRAtt at Petersburgh, are recalled.

Berne, Sept. at, 1802. • LAUSANNE, SEPT. 25.—The Senate, and - the Council of Execution, have,addressed the Helvetic people in a Proclamation, of which the following are the most remarkable passages " •Citizens of 'Helvetia! Berne, surrounded by bands of Insurgents assembred and commanded by Bernese Officers, Berne, agitated within by inces_ sant conspiracies, Berne, leagued with the enemie s of the State, no l onger o ff ers security to the deli berations of the Magistrates. We were either to wait till the Government should dissolve itself, and the -Republic perish with it, or we were to make choice of another town in another county, to ,pre serve there the sacred deptit, of the legitimate and constitutional authority. • " The Senate, -and the Council of Ex'ecution; thought they owed it to the Nation, which, in tranquil times, placed this deposit in their) ands,. to the great mass of Citizens, who, by the mere set. timent pi their own cony 4..ti0 0, accept:'d , constitution recommended by foreign benevaletice, to adopt this latter part., Lausanne, and the Canton de Yawl, are become the temporary seat of the Helvetic Republic. • , • Citizens of Helyetia ! Into blindriess - have'you fallen ! War , had cer,sed to desolate your frontiers ; opinion seemed to rally around a Constitution, which was able to satisfy all the real wants, all demands founded upon justice. The Government, full of confidence in the love of the Swiss for their independence, had ,consented to the retreat the Foreign Troops ; and it was at this epoch, from which a new xra .of n_ ease and felicity should have commenced ; it was then when, in order to'be, independent and tree, the Country required only re pose ; then were you seen to take up arms, to dis play the colours of the faCtions inimical to Peace, and to precipitate yourselves blindly into the abyss, dug beneath your feet !" . The Firth which 'Mr. PITT has taken near Wal. rner, is that of the West Cliff; belonging to Messrs, POINTER, Containing 530 acres. It is about half. way bet Ween Wilnier and Dover. We are sorry. to.find there is no reduCtion in the price of tread, notwithstanding the. late most bountiful harvest.• Cliffe Fair, ar Lewes, on Saturday was very nume rously attended, by buyers and others. The number of sheep arid lambs exhibited, on a moderate computa thon; exceeded 30,000,. which met a very dull sale, at reduced prices: Wethers fetched from 36i. to 425. Ewes from 21S. to 335. and lambs from,l4s. to 255. 6th Tnose who sold early. obtained the best pikes, ;the drop having been from 6s. to los. per head, be v:Ten the commencement and close of the Fair, and many were driven . from the-field unsold, for which purchaSers Could not be Lund, even at those reduced prices. At Braintree Fair, in Essex,- on Saturday and .Monday last, there was the hugest thew of Scotch, Irish, and other cattle, that has been known there for many years ; hut the high prices being kept up, the Graiiers made ho purchases of any consequence. A Letter reeeivA from Chingleput, by the Sea- Horse, lately arrived, says, a Royal Tiger has made his appearance Dear this place. On Friday the 30th .of April, in the,eveiling, as Mr. and Mrs. Thom_ son were returning in a bandy from their evening ride, the Tiger spiung from the jungle at Mr. Thom' son's poligar dogs, which were running im mediately before the horse's head. He, however, r missed his prey.; and agreeably to the nature of . that ferocious, but cowardly animal, instantly re tired.to the covert. The horse appeared in the ut most terror and consternation ; and it was with dlffictilty that Mr. Thomson could get him home. The Tiger was.one of the largest of the species. A singular mode of thieving has been successfully pradised about the environs of the metropolis, by iti nerant dealers in fruit, &c. The man or woman knocks at thetloor, anddispatches the servant or child with some apples or onions, which are to be sold re , markably cheap, and whilst the master or mistress are receiving information of the price, .the Fruit Merchant takes the opportunity of handing off cloaks, umbrellas, or, in short, any. thing portable that comes within reach. Numerous robberies of this kind are committing daily, against which the Public ought to be cautioned. A few days since as one of the servants belonging to Mr. STUART of East Ham, was driving a team of horses, the beasts took fright near the London Hos pita! ; endeavouring to stop them, he goLentangled in the traces, and fell down, whon . ;the near wheel went over his body, which crushed him so dread fully, that he was taken to the Hospital, where he died in less than half an hour. The - Coroner's Jury returned. a verdia of Accidental Death. On Monday night was committed' One of the greatest outrages upon Society, - by a gang of those villains who every night infest •the iown, that' has yet been heard of: as. Thomas . Pamplin, a servant of Messrs. Gordon and :Knight, distillers, in Gos weil-street, was passing home, 'not far, from his master's htlue, he was met by a man who knocked him down, and about eleven more of the gang com ing to his assistance, they unmercifully beat . and stabbed hiM in five different places. The poor fel. low had merely sufficient strength left to crawl to his lodgings, and from thence he was conveyed to the Middlesex Hospital, where he now lies without hope of recovery. The skirts of London from Gray's-inn-lane to Shoreditch, particularly- the neighbourhood of Clerkenwell and . Old-street, are at present filled with robbers of the most daring and atrocious cha raders. No night passes without some' new crime being committed. The vigilance with which the Police of the City of London have lately followed up the plan (as laid down by the Lord Mayor and Aldermen) for the immediate apprehending of every su , picious person found lurking within their jurisdiCtion, has been pr duaive of the happiest effeL't in driving these desperadoes out of the City. Monday, about noon, as a young.woman whose name is King, was going down Fish-street-hill r she was rim against by a bwcher carrying, a large fray full or meat on his shoulder, the handle of the tray struck her with such violence that' she fell on the pavement, and' the back part oftierit head was dread- fully cut ;on ta ki ng h er up was discovered that 1 ! the handle of the tray had dashed one of leer eyes.to pieces: she was conveyed, in this most inexpie.ssi ble agony to a n ho s pi t al. .We very much lament that the biutal I:crim.trator of the shocking 4't was not secured.

'A scuffle ensued, in whicli the lanthorn was heat cintl'of the watchman's hand, • and the two men endeavoured to rush out: Mr: Jennings, however, kept - clOse to Johnson, struck him several severe :blows 'with the poker, ;ma knocked him down three times. Notwithstanding, Johnson got through the wicket -gate, and ran as far as Crown-court, Mr. Jennings still following • him, naked as he Was'; at the corner of which he struck him on the head, which brought him to the ground, where he was secured. The watchinarc followed the other, and the hue • and cry being , . raised, Shires was taken in' Green's court, a shout distance from the brewhouse, and a gold watch, • belonging to Mr. Jennings, sen. was picked up near the spot. Oh taking them to the watch:, house, Johnson requested that the wounds he had received in his head•might be dressed, and a sur geon was in consequence sent for. Shires was not hurt. Mr. Jennings added, that when he got back to the house, an iron crow and a hat were found ; the street door had been broke open, and the plate taken from a cupboard in the parlour, the lock 91 which had been forced.' Waiters, Oottie-stands, spoons, salts, mugs, Sec. lay strewed about the hall, the yard, and along the track the. Prisoners took in their endeavour to escape: Johnson is an 'old offender, and a most desperate looking fellow. Shires is much younger, and denies Isis . being the companion of Johnson. The iron crow with which they broke into the house, and the poker used against Johnson, were produced at the Office ; the latter of which was bent double. Mr. Jennings, sen. is in Cheshire ; therefore the nephew was bound over to prosecute at the en suing sessions, and the Prisoners committed' for trial. The crowd collthed about the Office was im. mense ; in short, the robbery being committed in the neighbourhood, and the courage displayed by Mr. W. Jennings being so singular and so deter. mined, brought hundreds from their homes to see the thieves, ,and the man who had so, gallantly en.. countered them. The Ships Nile, Capto•-SAUNTER ; the Canada, Captain WILKINSON; and Mill9rca, Capt. LEITH, are shortly expeded to arrive ; from China, with cargoes of tea, on account of the Hon. -East - India Company. The above Ships .were originally taken up by GovernMent.to carry Convias to New South Wales, and afterwards proceeded to China. The Perseus, Atlas, Rolla, and Coromandel, were simi larly engaged by the Company, last season. The following curious instruaions for a sign board were sent to a painter in Shrewsbury, under date, August 13, 18oz :—" You are to draw the Shrawsbury coach with 6 men on the roov and two on the box—and chaise with z horses after the coach—also 'nay name—spirits, porter, and ale— also I intend entertain a man an a horse—also my buisness wch as follow—that is Earring (farriery)— please to draw the flaims and lanchetts, & that I shall nick and crop—and water' for horses—l beg youl do it as you think proper your self—and do it as I rcenzioned above." A curious circumstance lately occurred in Prussia. A young man, the son 'of a poor shoe Maker, at Drenyfortz, a little town in Eastern Prussia, hay. ing received the little instruaion his father could afford him, was employed in shoemaking. Having a ta s te for study, the kind of labour he was' employ_ ed in appeared so incompa6ble with his love of the Sciences, that he took the extraordinary resolution of going to Charlottenberg, to implore the- ; aid cf the King. This boy, who is only thirteen' years of - age, executed his projea, and arrived at Chariot_ tenberg.'some weeks since, after travelling 8o miles - on foot. The. King received him' very graciously, and examined him, gave orders that he should be educated; at his Majesty's expence,' in tl.e College of Joachimthal.
