The intelligence from Switzerland is • not only not decisive, but is of so contradktory a nature, that it is almost impossible to ascertain the real, state of affairs in that Country. It is, however, to be recollefted, that some of these accounts come from Lausanne, which is still in the power of the French Party, and if any un pleasant truths should accidentally be instrted in those accounts, the French Journalists sire -too pa trini ic or too prudent, to suffi them to appear in their Pape's., Letters from Lausanne, dated the Toth inst. state, that Citizen RAP? had returned to that place from Berne, that he had concluded a new Armistice for four days with the Patriots, during which time their forces were to be disbanded, and' that the . Diet of Si hwitz had dispatched a Courier to Paris. The accounts from Basil, dated the 9th, state that Citi zen RAP? had passed through that City on his Way to Paris, and add, that it was rumoured that he had received a very unsaisfaanry answer from the Diet of Schwitz. We are inclined to think. that this intelligence is entitled to more credit than that from Lausanne, because, if the Diet had not (. I m_ terrnined to comply .with ,BoNAPAßTE's,.Mandate, they certainly would not consent to disband their forces ; and if. they had resolved to submit, the French Envoy would not have dellyed to give it every possible publicity. It is probable, therefore, - that the Diet have given an evasive answer to the Proclamation of the Fr asr Coustrt.,. and that they are endeavouring to gain time by Negotiation, fo'r the purpose of organizing their means of defence, and, of giving an opportunity to the Powers of Eu tope to check by their interposition, the career of French i.justice.. The firmness of the Eto. F ROR of GERMANY is by degrr , :, vroducing a favourable change in the sitoa. tiort r,: .*:saffairs. The Mediating P , ,wers do not row insist. on the full execution of the Plan of Intim. niTies Which they produced; it is now admitted that several modifications in. that plan are to take place. The French Funds continue to rise : they are 54. 10. His MAJESTY cime to town this 'day from Windsor, and I:cltr,i Levee at St. James's Palace., for the Foreign Ministers and Noblemen, IVAV4L NEWS.

M. an Exprps . reached MINCAN STEWART, Ebq. Admiral pute' of this Port, with intelligence Iliac i t large Ship was seen dismasted,• upon her beam ends, anti, apparently sinking, off Auchachoan Head, near this place. _Notwithstanding its then blowing very hard from die south-west, accompanied w ith. hail shoWtrs, the only vessel then in this harbour that could yen_ ture to sea (although she had a very valuable cargo on board)., was, with twelve able Seamen, sent to the ship's assistance. Upon' her coming up with the ship near the Point of Carradett, ,she -found that Sc: • venal of her masts had been carried overboard, the main-mast nearly cut through, the vessel upon her beain.ends, and six feet water in her hold. • •"L hey instantly off:red to c aSsist. to pump out the wa;er, shift the ballast, so as that the ship would rise up, and bring her to a - place of safety (even to Greenock); . but the Master refused to accept.of any manner of assistance whatever, and had.not evenA.he civility of, so nand) as thanking the men w:io left their own employment, arid went to his assistance,mpon-which they, however, yeluaantly left the ship in -the greatest distress, .and anchored . behind the Point of Carradell, where they remained all night, not be in t.n of the storm, ,able to return to C.f - npbtltown. Shortly thereafter .they saw the ship ,drop anchor in a very dangerous hay of,Barmoiloth, Where she, upon the morning of yesterday,, sunk in about fifteen fathoM of water. • Upon-enquiry, she is found' to be the -Minerva, of-DantZ{C, PETER CORNELILTs master, bound from Dublin for Morce, in Norway, and, from all that can be inferred from the Master's condud, it is firmly believed, he was not very anxious about .the safety of the vessel. A precognition relative to the matter, has been instituted by the Admiral. It was yesterday reported, that orders had been dispatched to the 'Foreign Stations, for the ShiPs there that were about to return to Europe to remain till further order;. The sentence of dismissal from Le Renard, of 24. guns, on Mr. NI ITCHELL, the Purser, was not, as has been stated, for misapplying-the - necessary money, but simply for disobedience of . orders. • The Lieu tenant Vic) brought him to a Court Martial, is to be tried fur tyranny and oppression. Sunday forenoon were landed from the Earl St. V;nrent, arrived at Plymouth from lim.tica, • three large packets, put on board her from St. Domingo. One is direeted " Bonaparte, Chet Consul de la Republique Francois," one to Talley rand, and one to Ducroix. They were all forwarded by the Mas ter, through the r ost.office, for . the Foreign Office. GENERAL COURT MARTIAL.

SENTENCE. The Court having maturely and deliberately consi dered the evidence for and against the as Prisoner, well as what he had to offer in his defence, is of opinion he is Not Guilty on the First Charge, viz. Ungentlemanlike, Cundua towards Lieut. HAND, and do therefore most honourably acquit him. And having also maturely and deliberately considered the evidence for and against the Prisoner, as well as what he had to offer in his -defence, is of opinion lie is Not Guilty on the Second Charge, viz., of being drunk on the Dock Guard, on Ihe night of the. r7rh of August last, and do therefore must ho. nuurably acquit him. And the Court is .further of opinion, that both Charges are groundless and vexatious, and origindt ing in Malice : and thdt the Condud rf Lieut.'HAND in running his Rounds .with a view to entrap his Commanding Officer, in hesitating to obey his orders, thereby endeavouring to irritate him ; in sending Lieut. DR : UMNIOND into the. Guard-room as a spy on his conduct ; in asking the opinion of some of the Non-commissioned Officers of the Guard, whether their Captain was drunk ; in holding a conversation with Captain IA C'S Servant respefting his Master's situation ; convening the Subalterns in the Detached Dock Guard-room, before he was relieved, without the consent of his Commanding Officer, and the expressions he made use of to Mr. SCOTT, ail tending to the subversion of Military Discipline, and the good of His Majesty's Service, is disgraceful to himself as an Officer and a Gentle. man. This Court feel themselves called upon to point out in a . particular manner, the very extraordinary proposal made by Lieut. NoaLP., to raise a sub_ scription am , ng the Subalterns, f , r the purpose of prosecuiing Capt. LEE ;, a proposal subversive of all good order and military discipline. And the Court is also of opinion, that the eondua of Lieutenants CRocKAT and HILL, in giving their, testimony before the Court of Inquiry, kind this Court, is highly honourable, and much to their credit as Officers and Gentlemen. I'he Sentence was read in open Court, after which the President delivered Captain Las his Sword, with AO appropriate Speech on the occasion. THE THEATRE. —The - Play of Nen?) the Fourth, supp.rted by the powerful:, aid of Mr. STEPHEN KEMBLE's , .drew a very nume. rolls audience to Drury_lane Theatre last night, and tho Ugh we Understand that this Ador has been re, centty affected by the Lumbago, we must do him the justice to say, that there was nothing lame in his performance.

Yesterday were interred, with Military Honours, at Sr. James's Chapel, Tottenham-court-road, the remains of Lieutenant FRASER, late of the Ist Re.. giment of Life Guards. _ _ The Spedacle wits unusually grand, solemn, and. impressive. As many erroneous and contradiEtory accounts have been given of the melancholy accidznt occasioned his death, we think it may not oe im. proper to state the following ,particulars, upon au. thori ty. He was on his way to Ramsgate, in .a tandem, accompanied by his Groom. About three miler, beyond Canterbury, he overtook a waggon in as uneven part of the road. He was at all times a steady and cautious driver; and, in truth, his ex. creme caution on this occasion proved fatal to him. That he might beat as great a distance as possible from the waggon, he unhappily drove too near the hedge, in which a post concealed in the quickset, coining in contad with the wheel of the tandem, overset it. The Servant being on the: 'near-side, fell short of the waggon ; but Mr. FRASER. was thrown from a greater height to a greater, distance, and unfortunately fell between the fore and hind wheels of waggon, which passed over the lower part of his breast. When he was raised from the ground, he said to his Servant—" John, don't leave me—l am a dead man." His Servant having supported him against the hedge, and committed him to the humanity of some persons who were looking on, disengaged the leader from the traces, and rode full speed to Canterbury for professional ,assistance.. In the mean time, Mr. FRASER was conveyed, on a hurdle covered with Straw, to the Swan Inn, at the little village of Sturry, about a quarter . of a mile from the spot where the taral - accident happened.—He complained of being cold;. and called for some brandy and. water. When the Surgeon arrived, Mr. FRAS E R begged that he might be bled ; but the Surgeon, on examining hiS puke, and finding it low and languid, and his body extremely cold, declared-lie could not yen.. tore to do so ; but requested that he would suffer himself to be conveyed to Canterbury, where all pro.. per attention might be paid him. He acquiesced ; for he was by this time incapable. of opposition. He was put into a p )st.chaise, in which, supported by the Surgeon and his faithful attendant, he was con• veyed to Canterbury with as much expedition as the nature of his situation would admit. When he reached the King's [lead Inn at Canterbury, the Surgeor) ventured to bleed him, and administered some other remedies, but in vain ; for in about a quarter of at) hour he expired, after a slight convulsion. Thus perished in the bloom of youth, a Gentle. man, of whom his Friends had justly entertained the most sangLiine expedations. He was in person remarkably handsome ; frank and easy in his manners ; of a manly deportinenr, and sound and firm principles. untimely fate has excited a very great degree of sympathy, and has been to his friends and conneetions a cause pE the deepest afilietion. Lord Gyprtait and. family arrived in town - yeti, terday, at their residence at 'Whitehall, from New.. market. The Hon. Mr. LAMB is expeaed in town to. morrow from Newmark.er. ripe Duke de Botrxi4O2t has arrived at jersey. He was liberated from the Temple after three days confinement, in consequence of the in,terferenpe of Mr. iVIEssY ; but it is shocking to relate, that he was imprisoned there in consequence of the inforn a. tion of some Emigrants, whom the Duke de Bolt. IL tort had protckd and supported in Jersey during the War ! Major-General Sir CHARLES Ross, Bart. has arrived in Beiftst, to succeed General HART, who returns to his Mead-quarters at-Londonderry. We understand that the town of Belfast is in future. to be included in the district of Sir CHAaLss Ross. • General BRUNE is to take his pass be to Con, stantinople on board of a Frigate from Toulon. ; The Einbasiy is to be very splendid, there being no fewer than three Secretaries of Legation, viz. BA, ROUBDIER, formerly French Agent in Poland; . LAMARQUE, formerly Secretary of the DirciaJry ; 'and REcoktoow, brother.in.ldw of the infamous .D.INToN, who acted as his Adjutant on all his set . . :vices, The Master and Wardens of the Bakers' Com. pany.waited upon the LORD MAYOR yesterday at the Mansion.house to, set the Assize of Bread, which they solicited to be rose half an assize, but on--examining the Reports of the insisted that no alteration should.: ; be made; therefore the' price of the quartern loaf I,'hcaten continues at tenpence,.,and. household at I • eightpence.halfpenny.' A Court of COmmon Council will be held this ; day at Guildhall, to settle the Watch Rate for the 'year ensuing, and on other business previous to his, Lordship's going out of office. His Lordship will itaki the chair at 12 o'clock precisely. Notwithstanding the termination of the War, which ma kes it so easy to procure hands in abund-' 'ance, and the mildness of the weather, which op poses, no impediments to Navigation, Coals exile. rienci.d a very considerable rise in the course of the Masi week. There can he no doubt, but in this Trade, the influence of Capital, in other respeCts .so highly beneficial to Great Britain, has been most • unfairly exercised. The Dutchess of Dri/CoNSHIRE had lately a very narrow escape for her lite at Ramsgate. Her Grace's curricle-horses took fright, and were - Inakiiz bill speed to the Cliff, when her cries hari)iiy alarmed some labourers - , who succeeded in stopping the high mettled racers. Boxt NG .—Yesterday morning a desperate Battl e was fought in a field at Mile End Old Town, tween a Ship-carpenter of the name of Williahs, A" Qi a Jew of the name of Jonas : they fought for fil e guineas aside. The Contest lasted thirty-six minute s, and terminated ill, favour of Williams, who- broke his antagonist's jawbone and materially injured both his eyes.
