FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FROM THE FRENCH AND DUTC;i PAPERS. Puts. atm• I. The English Ambassador Lori Landes - date, ~c-comnanied comnanied by two Secretaries, and Basilico, the Messenger, arrived on the Sd instant at Calais, and 1 y eiter j,iy in this capital. An h,s -,al Decree, dated the fld of this montl , , ordains a levy of 50,000 conscripts, taken from the , . 80.000 authorised to be placed in a state of aelivity, by the Decree of the 2d Vendemiaire, year 14. They will be divided among the different corps o' the army. The mow Coascriptsremaining from _ ... .. . _ the 80,000, will form the Reserve of the year 1806.

NEW YORK, JULY 12. A Paper, of which the following is a copy, was sent nn from the British frigate Caeibriaa, stating the re ll‘lns for firing at the Bostwick : " The Cambrian hearted the schooner Fanny, from Jamaica, at eight o'clock - p nr. and a ship at eight a. m. The Cambrian found that an English seaman had deserted, and had swam on board either the schooner or ship. At daylight, the Cain brian made sail after the n, to re-take the deserter. but could not come up to the ship, after having fired several shot vi ry near to her, and within four miles of the land. The Cambrian afterwards boarded and examined the schooner, and there fonad the deserter, a native born Englishntan." The deserter above, mentioned was three hours in the water, swimming from the Carabiiii to the schooner Fairer/. The British frigate Cambrian sailed for Halifax on Wednesday evening. The schemer Hannah, Capt. Cease, arrived at Portland, in '2O slays. from St. Martin's. Two days after leaving St. Martin's, was brnught-tn by the Beitish frigate Ajerrearh who sent a Lieutenant on hoard, and closely examined the. Captain and crest, to find a pretence to make the schooner 3 prize.— Upon noticing a Dutchman, who was passeager, he carried him ors board the './e. ...id, when hr readily informed the Capin of t 1- frigate, that b had property on G. thr M the Hannah ; whereat , .

The following intelligence respetling the squa drons of ROMA./ BusAPAiITE, and Admiral Cocx- RANI. were received last morning by l'ost : Extra& of a Letter from Trinidad, dated July 10, 1806 : "P. S. We have just learned, that of the sail of the line, and one frigate, which romper the French Squailr two of them were in a very bad state, and leaky---All Admiral Cochrane had with hits four bail of We lice, eight frigates, and two brigs." Extra& of a letter from Bristol, dated Augast 14, I. Arrived the Bristol Volunteer, Jacquet, from Antigua; Rachael, Smith, and the Kin; David, Stiel,.one, fmm Nevis. " The above ships cut their glides, ald sailed horn Nevis on the SI of July, with between SO and 43 other ships, under cow .„$, lathe Carysfort frigate, in ennseivence of the French Nita_ siren being within five leagues of that Island " In the csurie of the day, the following notice upon the subjed was posted at LLOYD'S : " LiOrrt, A ups% 13, Quarter put One, p . " Extras of a Letter Gram it. Thomas's, dated Ja:y 9, 1036 Last Sun , lay folic ilkh), the French Squadron, with is rome ilonapane on beard, raised this place, and an hour after lassoed Admiral Coichra•ie, with lour line of battle ships and three frigates ; but the French shelving adi position to give him battle, he did unt wish to engage their superior force, and is since arrived at T..tula." A communication, also, from Portsmouth, by the Telegraph, was received at the Admiralty, but we believe it was the same as that m Lloyd's letter. Of the above pieces of intelligence, the extra.l of the letter from Bristol is the only one to we attach full credit.—AdmiralCOCllllA•L could not have with him ei . ibt frigates, as mentioned in the Trinidad account, as there were not an many upon that station. Neither are we disposed to believe, that havini ovettaLen the French Squad ron off S. Thomas's, he had abandoned the pur suit, and put into Tortola. Before he went its chase of the tawny, be must have been well apprised of their exan force. It IS, therefore, impas,ii I conceive, with what view he pursued them, it it was Iris intention to give up the pursuit the morncni they appeared in sight. That the French, seeing their great superiority of force, may ha v e r him battle, and that Le cieclirted it, WC can readily believe. The course which prudence svoilli dicurf:, under such rcumstances, would probably be to hang upon their real at a distance, and watch no oppnrtunity of attacking them with adsanra4e.— Admiral Cuceinaa a, may have sheered off; but I Ws cannot think that he has put into port leaving the enemy to pursue their course without molestation It is evident now, that the French Sqn siren is not upon its return to Europe. It, as stated in the let terr which we have quoted, it was off Nevis Iln ti e .5d and off St. Thomas's, which is stile. more westward, on the Sith, it was making direiily from Europe, probably for the Havannah, the destina tion originally assigned to it. The fends yesterday experienced a farther depres sion. The Onsaiiies, which opened at left r)fi• at 51, and ;he Consuls, for the opening, at 611. Mr. Bast tico act off on Thursday night. upon his return to Paris; and. it was generally believed, yesterday, that he carries with him orders for the East of LAVVCR DALE to leave Paris without delay. We expeaed to find the public mind agitated with alternate hopes and fa.ars during the negotiation, and a constant ft :au,stion in the fonds ; but so great a fall can only be imputed to something decisively against a sue crssfarl issue. That the Earl of La I.lllE2c..tar, therefore, has met an uafavourable reception, is, we fear, unquestionable. The condua of 13aw a- LA R re. in other respeais. is also but little calculated to encourage the hopes of peace, or to evince a spins which ought to inspire a confidence in its con- . tinunnce, .f made. From Paris Papers of the 7th, and Dutch Papers to the 12th, which we have re ceived, it appears, that he has ordered .10,000 of the conscription ef the present yesar, to be called out immed itely. Tito pains which he takes, to repre sent this as an ordii.ary procee.ting, are an acknow iedgment that it is a fair source of alarm to his neighboirrs.—"Nho, twat looks at such a measure at this particular moment, and that new and extraor dinary system, the Wu nisi Con i; eler,cy, can suppose that &aria pante wilit rn •he Peace in the spirit of l'eace, and with a determination to observe it ? The plan of this great revolution in Germany, bas been officially notifi.rd to the Diet of Ratiabon and the Note in which it is announced furnishes a 11“ W proof of Isis deadly and deep rooted hatred of England. "At present," he says, " his only de sire is to be able to employ the means which Provi• dence has entrusted to him, for the. purpose of as. s rung the liberty of the seas, of restoring to com merce its lib rty, and securing the repose arch hap piness of the world " Wriat have the States, com posing the Rhenish Confederacy, to do with •' the Liberty of the Seas ?"—Where are their ships and their frigates 3—To them this promise can aff ird no advantage or coasolati rt. The unseasonable boast only skews what is eaaii it to beau ; the command of the Ocean which E.r e ;tand enjoys, and he knots: is determined to retain. We have received New York Papers to the 19th last. They are unusually destitute of intelligence. We are concerned to find, that the anrgy spisit pro- duced by the death of PCACCE, the American, killed by an accidental shot from the Leander, has not yet subsided. Great pains continue to be talon, in order to excite and foment an hostile f,7eling to wards this country. The celcbrarion, on the 4th of July, of the Anniversary of American independence, furnishedan opportunityfor this purpose,of which the faflinns did not fail to avail themselves. Coarse and angry sentiments swelled the lists of their toasts drank at the public meetings upon the occasion.— The American newspapers also continue to detail, with studied accuracy, tales of natural-born subjeets of America impressed and abused by English C4p tains. In the case, however. of the Fusee, fired at by the Clmbrian, it is candidly admitted that she carried oil an English deserter, and refused to come to. The `Joel (a transport), Tam-reit, from the Cape of Good Hope for Barbadoes, with dispatches ' (which were thrown overboard), was captured on the eth May, and sent into Guadaloope. The !id:, Ersears, from Jamaica for Bristol, is captnrel by four French frigates, and sent for Spain his Excellency Baron Jacoer Kroestr, late Mi nister Plenipotentiary from Berlin, with his Suite, embark: d at clarwich, on Wednesday, on his return to that city. The Asickl.nd packet, Capt. HAM,. MONO. sailed at the same time with ail ail for Got tenburgh. A letter from Vienna, dated July 26, says : " The prosecution of General Mack every day be comes more and more intricate. He has accused most of the Generals who served under him, and they have been ordered to tliat city." The Expedition, which had again sailed from the IDowns, was on 'I bursday morning obliged, by con trary winds, to put back.
