LONDON, NOVEMBER 5,18 oz. GENERAL ANDRIOSSI is at length arrived in Eng.. land. Thii morning about one o'clock an Express reached us, with intelligence of his having landed yesterday evening at Dover, and this morning we received the following Letter from our Correspon. dent there : DOVER, NOV. 4.--QU4RTER TO 31X3 p. M. General ANDRI7OSSI, with Mons. PORTAL'S, his Secretary, and several Gentlemen of his Suite, have this moment landed. The weather being quite calm,, the Vessel they were on board had been in sight many hours, and but for the assistance of the Customs', and several other Boats, which put off and towed her several miles, they would not have reached the Harbour this evening. It being sun-set before the arrival of the Vessel in the Harbour, the G,,rrison guns did not fire. A.prodigious concourse of people lined the Pier Heads, and welcomed the Ambassador with repeated cheers. A Captain's Guard of the loch Regirment, pre, ceded by the Band, escorted him and his Suite to the Ship :nn. The French Ambassador would probably set out morning on his route for Town, but should he mean to pursue his journey without stopping, he can hardly be expeaea in Town before night, We last night received the Paris Papers to the ad inst. The French, if the last accounts from Swit zerland arc true, have accomplished their objeet the Diet of Schw;tz,', though confident in the justice of its cause, has declared, that if the FIRST Co au!, persists in the intention of carrying his declara-, tion into eft - ,:a . by force, they must yield, as no one can thitr;_ of contending against his power, They add, howeve . r, that they still retain arms, which even their Enemy must esteem, viz, the Justice of their Cause, and the Voice of the People and of Posterity, It does not,' however, yet appear, whether this &übinis,iin is unconditional or not ; we are still in, dined to think that the Frencli Government, find ing the sentiments of a large majority of the People of Switzerland so decidedly hostile to the Consti tution which had been forced upon them, have re linquished the idea of requiring an absolute and on. conditional submisAon. It is, however, certain, that some of the French Troops have been with:. drawn from Switzerland, and that orders have been ..sent to stop the march of others who were proceed. to enter that Country. It is therefore probable, that inconsequence of mutual concession, some corn. promise has been agreed upon between- the French Varty and the Patriots in Switzerland. The Deputation at Ratisb2a have adopted a Con_ emsz:tn re4pcaing the last Plan of Indemnities, bat it is not true, as has been stated, that the EMPEROR of GERMAI,TY has agreed to it. The Conclun4m to which the EmpEROR acceded, was the one voted in the Sitting of the /6th ult. The Conc./wen upon the Plan of Indemnities was voted in the 18. th . ling, which took place on the 215 t, The Moniteur gives a detailed account of the journey of the FIRST coNstt.l., ; he was expeaed at Aciaa on Saturday, at which place great prepara tions were making to receive him. \'i'E yesterday noticed 4 Statement made in an English Paper published at Paris, entitled The Ar sir sirs, which it was positively asserted that Austria and Prussia, at the joint request of the :4ritish and .French Governments, had agreed to be come ci uaTaptees. of Malta, and that all differences between..the two Governments had been amicably adjusted. We noticed this Statement merely to ex pose its absurdity and falsehood, and to stigmatize it as a base Stock-jobbing trick. We have this morning received the !bird Number of the Paper above-mentioned, printed on 'Monday last, in which the falsehood is confidently repeated. It is hardly necessary for us, after what we have said, to assure the British Public, from the highest authority, that it is wholly unfounded. The establishment of this English Newspaper in Paris, we have no doubt, has wholly for its aim the pradice of such nefarious tricks, for the purpose of mislead- ing and abusing thy People of this Coun►ry. It must be entirely in the interest of France, or the Government of that Country would not tolerate its publication; and what is to be expent4 from men who can thus publicly proclaim themselves the Enemies of their Country ? We shall not condescend to say more upon so unworthy a subjc6i, merely contenting ourselves with ob serving, that its circulation in this Country is com pletely illegal, and those who are concerned in it here are amenable, as well for the illegality of its circulation, as for the matter which it contains. This morning arrived a Mail from Lisbon, brought to Falmouth by the Prince of yf ales Packet, in twelve days. This being the Anniversary of the Gun Powder Plot, the Bells were rung all the day in the different steeples, the Flags were displayed, and the Park and Tower Guns were fired, as usual, at one o'clock. On Wednesday His MAJESTY issued a Proclama tion for calling in the old Mediterranean Passes, as is usual at the termination of every war. The Education of the PRINCESS CHARLOTTE of WAeEs is proceeding in the most satisladory man ner, under the superintendance of the Countess of ELGIN. Her Royal Highness passes most of her time at the Lodge at Blackheath, devoted to her improvement. She comes to town every Wednes day, when, after giving up the principal part of the morning to her Masters, she receives the com pliments of such of the Nobility and Gentry as are indulged with the privilege of visiting her., Her Royal Highness's improvement in person, man. ners, and accomplishments, is such as has been sel dom witnessed in a child so young. At her own expenee the Countess of HARD w c Ter has introduced into the Liberty of Dublin, looms and other implements of trade, for the encourage. ment of manufaaureri. On Saturday last, the two Troops of the 4th, OT Queen's. own Regiment of Dragoons, marched from Leeds, where they !have been quartered some time, for Canterbury ; ;led the same day two Troops of the 18th Light Dragoons marched into Leeds, ai:d took possession of their quarters. The immediate return of Marquis WELLESLEY from India is not expeded e His Lordship has been desired to continue in hiS'goveitirient another year ; and if the dispatch which has.been sent overland shall arrive in India before his Lordship has left that Country, he will no doubt comply with the wishes of Goverment. Lord WHITWORTH and the Dutchess of DORSET were at Covent-garden Theatre on Wednesday evening, to see the Cabinet, for the last time, in all likelihood, before their departure for France. On Friday the 29th ult. died at Paris, in the 69th year of his age, CHARLES ALEXANDRE dc CA LONNE after an illness of twelve days, which he bore with the resignation of a Christian, and the courage of a Philosopher. His complaint was an inflammation on the lungs. During the Revolu tion he sacrificed his whole fortune to his principles of loyalty and the duty he owed his King. By this event the Public have lost a friend whose abi lities, talents, and exei tions, stood unrivalled—in whom the wisdom of the Statesman was united with the most unbounded philanthropy, and adorned all those amiable virtues which give a charm to friendship, and embellish social life. An. enthusias tic admirer of the Sciences, and a patron of the li beral Arts, his hand was ever extended to raise merit from obscurity, and bring forward genius to observation. His name will never be forgotten by the world while worth and talents continue to be admired ; and his virtues will live in the venera tion and esteem of his friends till memory shall be no more. His mind was remarkable for the richness and promptitude of its resourtes. ,The following anec dote, of the authenticity of which, there is no doubt, will serve to shew the quickness of his conception and execution. When LEWIS XVI. visited Cher bourg, M. DE CALONNE had prepared for the King a chart of the road, but unknown to all the Court, which described not only the towns and villages, but the principal seats, country-houses, and farm-houses, with. the names of the owners and occupiers, and an account of the services they or their ancestors had performed, with all their cha. racers, so as to give His Majesty an opportunity of shewing to advantage his munificence and libera lity. The Courtiers were all sttrprized at this ex traordinary instance of correetness, and the King felt himself highly indebted to the man who had thus furnished him with the means of knowing some of his most valuable Subjeds. Mr. BARToLozzr, the celebrated Engraver, left London on Wednesday, in order to proceed to Portugal. We understand that a National Acade my of Arts is to be established at Lisbon, of which Mr. BARTOLOZZI is to have the superintendence. He is to be attended by two pupils from this coun. try. An handsome suite of apartments are to he assigned him, and every thing else provided for him at Lisbon, independent of his salary, which is little more than tool. sterling a year. It is supposed the marriage of Lord HINCH BROKE to Lady G. GORDON will be celebrated at ViennA. The Anglo-French Paper asserts, that there are Two Hundred Ball-Rooms in Paris, and Ten Thou sand Taverns, nightly overflowing with company. Mr. Fpx seems to be in no great fa , rour with the Writers of the new English Paris Paper.

WE know not whether we are noticing the Ar guments of M. Tiku.EyRAN,D, or Of M. HAUTE RIVE, in referring again to the Paragraph in the Official Journal of Paris, which relates to the State ments of the English Newspapers, and which ap plies chiefly to what we have advanced on the sub jet,f. of the pi.e..ent relative state of the . British Ern . pire'and:oCFrance. Those who have attentively perused our Observa: dons, will, at least, admit that our conjeaures have not been ill-founded. We some time since stated the objet of Fiance to be to exclude us from all Continental Connedion'. That objea appears to be undeniable, from the Paper to which we refer. We are .told that we have no right to interfere respeaing Switzerland, " because we refused to' recognize the Helvetic Republic," and because "o we have no Minister at Berne." This is a new article in the Law of Nations, and. one extremely convenient for the purposes of- the CHIEF CONSUL, so that if BONAPARTE, by ,arms, by influence, or intrigue, can change .the Govern ment of any Nation, and the British Ministers do not recognize such new Government, this Country is for ever excluded from any interference respelling that Nation. This is not only a new, 6ot a sweep ing clause, and applies to a great deal that the CHIEF CONSUL has done—probably to much more that he intends to do. " The English Government," it is contended, " Cannot complain of what happens in Countries whose political existence she has not recognized, and with whom she maintains no public relations." If English Publicists, and English Mi nisters will admit this, the Sun of Great Britain is indeed set for ever. BONAPARTE altered the Government of Switzer, land.. — England did not recognize the New Gover.6,,j . ment. A Treaty was entered into by France, with one of ourltA;:ies, guaranteeing, as an important Condition to that A,. 1 .1y, the Independence of Swat. zerland. BO NAPARTg then -interferes to destroy that Independence ; but t( r t: - Y,land must not.corn plain, because she did not recog);! ment which %was , established. .ze the Govern. new t os overnment is given to Pied/725/ft, and that after•. country it; wards annexed ,to France ; but " England bag . n° right to complain, because she had not recognized' ' the Government, which was made only to be de. stroyed."—Would it not be shorter, and more to the purpose of the CHIEF CONSUL to say at once, that we shall not be suffered to interfere, or to have any Interest in the Affairs of the Continent ? " The relations of France ani England," it . is asserted, " are the Treat). of Amiens, the whole Treaty of Amiens, and nothing but the Treaty of Amiens." Now this we contend is, in the. way in which it is explained, neither the truth, the whale trial), nor ary thing like the truth. It is asserted , to:' prove the accuracy of an other position (certaini unfounded), that all the Powers of Europe have a right to settle their in, terests with each other as they please, without the consent of, this Country. If we deny the truth of this position, unqualified as it is, -we shall not be dispOtted - to deny it the less, when we see the man. ner in which the interests of Piedmont or of zerland are settled with Frantz. It occurred, however, to this Writer, that we, might possibly have entered. into Treaties of Alli ance, that our Ally might be attacked, and that what the old-fashioned Publicists of Europe would call a Casus Fatieris, might exist : The rest of this Paper, therefore, is intended to shew those Nations with which we have had an Alliance dur ing the last War, how much they have suffered by our Alliance, and to dissuade them from forming any more connections with this Country, by exas perating them against us. A kind hint is given to Austria not to pay the debt she owes us, but,, in- - stead of a Debtor, to become a Creditor, and make a demand upon us. The Russian Armies are falsely said to have been abandoned and compromised in Hol.. land, and the Danes massacred at Copenhagen. The dethroning the KING of SARDINIA—the loss of the STADTHO LDE RATE to the House of Orange— in short, all the conquests and acquisitions France has made from other Powers during the War, are at.. tributeil to their alliances with England. This may be tolerably good Opposition declamation, but how does it suit the Colvin!. of FRANCE ? For i all this has been gained to France by British Al. liance, why is France so very anxious to prevent, such,Akliances from taking place in future ? If the CHIEF r. has gained so much by our Atli - •:t ances,with.;other Nations, his policy would be to encourage them ;—but is this the fart ? Has he been aßuated by our Alliance, in the steps he has taken ? What Alliance had the poor unoanding Swiss been guilty, of, when their Country was first overwhelmed and ruined by the invading Army of France? What Alliance led to their invasion of it a /j," Zak if 'cane has gained nothing by the Alliance of Great Britain with any other rower► she has unfortunately gained much by the SLICC OS of her own intrigues—and she has gained much, not because we were nut srue to our Allies—but because, in many instances which we could state, our Allies wero not true to themselves. The French People, we are told finally, are to remain with " 4 the Helmet on their head, and th' Lance in their hand." The People of the British Empire then must remain in the same attitude, de termined to resist, to the utmost, evety attack upon trieir honour and their essential interests,' by force. ,r of, arms, if they are driven to that extremity—bnc equally determined to adopt every measure by which they can preserve these objeass in Peace.--The King's. Ministers will be moderate, but firm -They must at the same time recoiled lio‘r much the relative situation of Frazce with this Country is changed, since the signature of the Treaty of .i4mirns ; lint if any compromise can be made with respell to the Conquests we still re-- tail), reserving to us even Jess than our just de mands, we trust they will be disposed to evince their moderation by accepting such a compromise, rather than have recourse to the dreadful alternative of War. , Mrs. BI LL I NOTON arrived at her house in Town on Wednesday evening. She had been on a visit to Lady MILNER. A new Comedy from the pen of the veteran Mu RPHY, the Nestor of the Drama, is, we under stand, likely to be soon brought forward at Drury. Lane Theatre. It is said, that Mr. COLMAN has had a vast number of applications from GARRICXs, BARRNSF &c. &c. If the merits of the new Candidates is to . be determined by their own estimate, they prolix , bly, will think themselves degraded, in being placed upon a level with such at:tip:wed Performers, . . .
