A few hours after they sailed they fell in with a large schooner privateer, of to guns, two of them long 1 z.poun. ders, and too men, all of whom, as well as the Cap. tain, were Blacks. Capt. MAGINNI6, seeing that the Privateer Was making a stretch to cut off the Njrnisb, direttly hove to to give her time to come up with hint ; in this, however, he was disappoint. eth as the Privateer succeeded in boarding and car. vying her. The Lord Nelson then continued her course, the Privateer in chase, which she kept up the whole of the night, and at three P. M.

FIB. 2.—Tht Moniteur, which has for a long while contained nothing of importance for Foreign ers, is full of important matter this day. Jr con tains a contradiCtion—first, of all the reports from Germany, concerning disagreements between France and Austria, relative to the Cordon assembled by the latter Power on the Frontiers of Italy against the contagion ; secondly, of all the false reports of war, founded upon the march of some French Troops and Guards to Italy, whither the Emperor of the French intended to travel, to regulate the affairs and concerns of Milan ; and thirdly, of the reports concerning the re-introdutlion of Paper. money in France, and the immense exaggeration of the Coronation expences to fifty or sixty millions, When they altually did not exceed 4,6so,ooofrancs; and - the like reports propagated by English Journa. lists, to serve the war fa Lion i it umdat; FE a. 3.—The Emperor's 'departure to the De. partment. of the Upper Alps seems to be fixed for the 19th or 20th inst. His retinue will be numer. ous and brilliant ; several of the new High Officers will accompany him. There were several reports this day about the sailing of the Brest Fleet ; they do not, however,, appear to rest upon official foundation. it is cer. tain that the Toulon Fleet had sailed ; but there are also . accounts of its having returned into Port.— They speak also of the sailing of small Scluadrons from our Wwtern Ports to reinforce the Spanish Fleet at Ferrol, whilst other reports send that Di vision to India. It is, however, certain, that a general movement and aetivity,is remarked the French Ports, and that the Commissioned,..' cers of the Navy, lately at Paris, have set off forkbeir res speCtive posts. It also appears, from Theifinfieur • of yesterday, that five Regiments, which were quar_ . tered in Piedmont, have marched fur T ou l on , t o embark on board the Fleet.

The Gjzette announces as follows Qn the 3oth of December last the Deputation of our Repubiic was presented to his Ito. penal Majesty, by the Councillor of State MAREs. CHALBI, Member of Foreign Relations. They were directed to assemble in the Consulta of Stare, under the Presidency of the Vice. President, in order to pre. pare, with the greatest solicitude, and subsequently to present to His Majesty , a plan which should fix the destiny of our country. The ideas communicat. ed upon this occasion by His Majesty, gittes us the most flattering hopes, that this work will have for i ts o hjea a stable Constitution, by - means of which . the Supreme Piwer will receive that concentration so necessary t 9 all States, but 'eiipeCially to burs, w hich is cor - )4sed of so many heterogeneous parts, and stilt feeltie influen; pf political dissentions ; t h at it will alSo possess that `durability without . which in concentratiOn' would be useless, and p er haps even dangerous." • The Commission, there. f ore , is at present ernployed upon this important work. There are just arrived upon the territories of the Han Republic, some bodies of French cavalry and in. iantry, upon their return froM the kingdOrn of Naples. Their return into Upper Italy pan only be regarded as a consequence of the removal of the troops Which is constantly taking place from time to time , in these countries. A circumstance more worthy of attention, is the intelligence transmitted from the City ,of Naples, that a Russian Squadrdn has en. tend the Road of that Harbour, consisting of five S a il of the Line, and Frigates ; and that other Russian Ships of war were elepeeted iitunediately. This Strad.ron anchored on the 3Oth of December, and at the departure of the post on ahe Ist it was still unknown-whether these Shipi, which were moored in sight of the City, had Troops on board or not. The Correspondence between the Cabinets' of Naples and Paris is carried on with alkivity. A Courier of the former passed througtt Rome very early in the month (January ). Rome is full of ROssian Officers, attracted by their cu. riosity.
