FROM THE FRENCH PAPERS, The F_itzlish Papers bad .announced the Order of the British Gov , linnirtit to cli!tain Arnerican Ships having car.. roes on board not shipped trout the United Stales. Upon that Order rile /1/cmircur observes in a Note—, " The commerce of one people prospered. Re mote from Europe, strangers to the present war, that pe.ople were; exercising the free industry which,be longs_, to _an litdependent State.' 'England is at length, tired of tbrgetting with respect to that people that ti tval superiority:which enables her. to oppress all Natidns and . all Seas, and 'Ole - American Tr4de was - at length aimed at. Sugar and coffee have just formed part of prohibited Merchandize. It is quite as . 'culpable in the eyes of England to convey sugar and coffee as arms and warlike ammunition. It is not sufficient that by corrupting some faithless Minister, she ,has iMposed upon several. poWeiful Prindes a b,trbarous Legislation—that she has diaated,'by the '534110 laws to weak Princes,.. whOse Mi nisters she might disdain corrupting; she now places no limits to her violence. Nobody hereafter shall navigate but, upon her account, and to sell her articles alone. And this order of things, so humi liating to rill States, does nut, fix the attention of the Vov.

The Lieutenant of the Navy, COQ.UEABEiiT, C‘Ornriland, ing one of the Gun-boats of the gUard, Nvas at the head. Captain .Moans, who commanded the whole squadron, sailed out above two leagues,' to meet the Enemy. On seeing this Movement, one English Ship of the Line, two FrigateS, and about thirty Brigs, ranged themselves ‘in order of battle. `rite Enemy tried several times to break our line, and threatened to run us down with his large ships but , seeing that this did by no means frighten our sea men, he did not perform it: The at:lien -,‘%-,s most brisk, and the whole Camp and the Tovii have.had the pleasure to see the Enemy , light I . :qreating, and our little squxtron pursuing him :t oral leagues out at tea. ‘" - fhe Fri::?ates arid Ships of thegnerny .1;e re - ceived a number of shot, and an Engli.;ll ".trig has. lost her main-top-mat•:t.

The ardotir which animates 'our land and sea forces is calcillated to ensure all manner of r;ttecess., The ships and feAs are "not strong, unless men of courage Make them The Naval o:ricers will certainly give an 'account, of this anion, • " The alarm' was general on the English Conk. At one O'clock several Frigates,: Corvettes, -and , Brigs, got under way from Percy, below.the at -torn-two Ships of the Lne, two Frigates, and one Brig, sailed from 't ho Downs; and lastly, in the evening, there were Go Vessels of the Enemy in sight. It is by such engagements, that tile. Flotilla acquires that confidence 14 its strength, that promp titude in its Movements, and exaetne,S in its ma nceuvres, which will qualify it to att such an im portant part in the events of 'Oltr Naval Wars."

All the inhabitants remain both night and day' without their houses in the plains and roads near the city. -They have, during .that time; slept in carriages or on the bare ground. The - general distress has risen to the highest pitch and, it is certain, that if the Earth quake had been followed by some more shocks, the ,whole City of Naples would have been destroyed. In the midst of the greatest distradion which has taken place ever since that moment, the greatest public ordet has .been preserved, thanks to the vigilance and courage of the Duke of Ascot', Chief Intendant of the General Police.

WE were under the necessity, from the lateness of the hour at which we received the French Papers yesterday, to omit a part of their contents we have this day resumed our Extraas from them; one of the most important of which is a Note in the.llloni- teur, which may of course be considered as official. After commenting in strong terms upon an article which appeared some clays ago in the English Papers, respeSting the detention of American Ships having on board French and Dutch property, it pathe tically laments the blindness of the North'ern Powers to their Commercial Interests.: The- Ca binet of St.- Pet,:rsburgh is represented as be ing influenced by Corrupting intriguers; and in speaking of Austria, it uses the foliowin c Tremarkable language :—" When England thought too she was sure of iistri3, whbin she precipitating `into War, by inducing her to make in the Tyrol and in Italy Armaments which cannot but be considered as tantamount to a D:claration of Witr,. she tened to fear that any. other State would return to the senti- inent of dignityt," If is:difficult to,) oid smiling; even 'upon so seri ous a subject, to+ d the lamentations,of TALLEY . ' &AN D upon the .iii3ury done to the American.Com nieree:—lle seerr.s to have forgotten the system of pluniler which Was curried on ac , ainst the Trade of. Amei:ica when hey' was Prime. Minister to' the Direc tory ; but he can ILirdiy suppose that the Negotia . tions of ' the Ainerican i'sfesters at Paris with X. Y. Z. b have 'escaped the rei.::_elealon even of the People of Paris: , It is 'evident, from the sentence. gitoted above, that .BoN i srAeu consi4;:s,..Js.....War with Austria aa inevitabie, ,acrd it he hal been prepared there is no doubt . but that .he 'Would ..„ have commenced hustilitie , before this tiine'; but it. is clear the promptitUde and, energy displayed by 'the. two lMperial .Courts, have comPleteiy discon-, cerred him. He intended, no doubt, to haveprotraded the Negotiation with M. No'vozit.Tzonz until he , 11 1. either carried his designs into execution against Great liiitztin, or until he was fully prepared to coin mence hostilities on the Continent ; but the whole i of this plan is deranged- . by the sudden ter mination of the . Mission of M. NOVOZILTZOPF; and. hence proceeds that torrent of rancorous. abuse which has of late been poured out against Russia. The Military Force of BONAPARTE is Undoubtedly i of uncommon magnitude—it is stated in the official returns to amount to 480,000 men; but this statement is probably exaggerated : of this Force no less than 1 . 50,000 are said -to be colledted on the Coast for the Invasion of England..and Ire- land. He has also a considerable' Army in Hol land, which must al wais be kept ,theie if he intends to keep possession of that Cunetry : he has also an Army in Hanover, which innst be reinforced in the .soes..or . event of aWar on the Continent. Besides Garr i ', r i . all his Sea-ports, he •must keep a large proportion of . hia Troops dispersed through the interior of I r uiet, fur he cannot yet place sufficieet Confidence in the :if...? fection of his Subje6ts to relieve them from the military despotism under which they now labour,-- Under these, circumstances, it is clear that he his not at . present a sufficient Disposable' Force to cotrt tnence hostilities in Italy and in . Germany With any prospea of decisive SUCCe3S. He Will, therefore, be reduced to the 'necessity, a.; we gutted in a former Paper, of either immediately making one desperete attempt to invade this 'Country, or of marching the greater_part of the Army on the Coast to the Banks of the .Rhine. In the Mean time the exertions of Austria are incessant, . • • s and the co-operation of . Rtis: . . . sia will, We trust, give a decided preponderance over France. . -• . • . . It appears froqiVii.Ltixruvr.'s Lettcr,l, which Svc yestectlay laid before our Iseaclers, that he took shel,- t,ir itz Viz° as zcou as he void after the Aftion of t!lt, 'ed ; and: having afterwards prof ably heard of the separation of Sir ItOREaT CALInk'S Frcet, he at last got into Ferrol and Corunna, where he probab!y re mained until the t 3 th , w hen the Combined Fleet was seen by the ',N .

It wo uld. be a bsurd to continent upon such a fool;s1i fabrication ;, but it is sing ular that the F re nch Edi . .tors should insert a sto r y which, if true, con would only make the co ndu& of VILLENEUVV, appear more, temptible ; for his apprehensions of a Fleet consist - drict ing of half the number of his own, mustboe Wn great_ indeed, if be dare not stop even to take the money which was se:, kindly offered him.. . * There is a Letter in French Papers, w%filcit, if it be correa, dated ivia been est Anion in the Mediterranean bet weell the s Spatiish Fleet from Carthaand ,13-itish S,P3" gena a • dron, probably the on e co mm anded by Si!.
