Ova Letters from Plymouth and Torbay con. taint some further interesting particulars respeet ing the late demonstration of the French Fleet iti Brest. The Baijleur, of eEe 'guns, from. the Channel Flt-et, arrived at Plymouth on Tues day, with a few men who were wounded in the partial action which took place. It appears that the aPsfir engaged for a short time the French Admi ral's Ship in a very gallant style, and shot away her mizen-top-mast, together with that of a Frigate. • The Ccesar had three men killed and seven wounded. The loss of the Enemy was probably much greater. The Badieur had one man killed. A French Ship, bearing a Rear Admiral's Flag, was very nearly cut off by the Ville de Paris, Foudroyant, and Cesar. The Frenchman, however, unfortunately succeeded in escaping, and, together with his companions, ran away, covered with glory ! After the gallant action between the.Phamix and the Dufrn, the former was pursued by some of the Enemy's Ships, as she waa towing away her Prize ; but \vas joined by the Dragon ,who, with great address, made such signals as most probably induced the Ene my's Vessels to suppose that we had a coUsiderable force in view, and they therefore sheered off. The Plaett:r has arrived safely with her Prize at Lisbon. There, is no 'further Intelligence respeCting the Combined or Sir RODEAT'CALDER. Is' it be re the intention of the Allied Powers to tie War personally against RONAPAETS, it : will act only tend effeCtually to shake him on his usurped Throne, but will be a fair retaliation. He. attempted to divide the King of SWEDEN from his people, and ind, t fitly appealed to the latter : He even threatened to make a dire& Appeal to the Peo 7. ple'of this Conw,ry, in case Hits MAJEsTy's ,Mi nisters thought proper to oppose the wishes of France. As the leading,Paper of Opposition, When it referred to an Article in The SUN' respeaing 'this supposed intention on the part of the Allied Powers, did not express any, disapprobation of the measure, .we may venture to, info' that men of all Parties must entertain the sarie opinion 6f the French Usurper, however they may differ in sentiment respe&ing the general measures of our Government, and that they think it full time to put an end to his insolence and injustice by any means pot inconsistent with national honour. We there fore hope to see a strong Manifesto on the part 'of the Confederring States against a Tyrant who is at once the scourge of the people whom he holds in the most abject slavery, and the .Disturber of all mankind, The People of Prance must themselves rejoice in being released from the odious and 'waif . ferahle Police which this Upstart has established, to sly nothinz of the severe military conscription to wl,ticl4 tlvi are subject, merely to support his, pride anti profri6ic, his ambition. But how will the other States; whom he holds in thraldom' and : in terror, delight to C'4C3pf: from his oppressive hands, and to • Tegain U r lights and independence 1 'This man, and this man only, is the great obstacle to the peace tr..l,lcoillity of Europe; and instead of wondering tl :it o.ller States at last think of making hint per sonally answerable for his , Crimes, by distinguishing him horn the unhappy people whom he enslaves, i t is,astonisl:ing that such a measure was not adopted long ago, as it seems 'the most effeCtual way of re d‘.loing an individual to his, original insignificance, whoie public career has been marked hrovery rietc-ading and offensive. erlitirt NrAIESTIF,S aria .PRINCESSES do not return ta) Wit),ltmy tic n) NVeyntooth, as, was exites'..-tcd, in cf, - 1 115erltienco of a late rotlancl)cly event.
