LONDON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 22, 1805• Inc is with regret that We are obliged to confirm the account we gave yesterday of the capture of the Blanche Frigate, Capt4in Muncie, after one of the most gallant actions that perhaps ever was • fought, by the Topaze French Frigate, of 44 guns, two Corvettes of guns each, and a Brig of 16 guns, making together 100 guns, and the number of men on board the French Vessels amounted to 900. This Force was opposed to' a British Frigate of 36 guns, with very few more than 2.00 men onboard. Capt. Munoz continued the action against, this very superior Force until the Blandui was very near sinking ; an& in tact, she sunk very soon after slicv was taken possession Of.---Our loss in kliled and,. wounded is,. we are sorry to say, con siderable. Captain Muna was not wounded ; his Letter is datedpri board the Topaze. We stated yesterday that a part of the Fleet under the command of Admiral CORNWALLIS has been de tached for the purpose of resuming the Blockade of Ferrol. The force detached for that purpose con sisted of twenty Sail of the Line. This Fleet will immediately be reinforced by the So.kt 'Joseph, of 110 guns, and several other Vessels,. and the whole will be placed under the command of Admiral Sir CHARLES COTTON. , THE two Hamburgh Mails!, due on Sunday and Wednesday last, arrived this morning. The follow ing are their contents VIENSA, AUGUST 7.—We are assured that the Troops distributed in the different Provinces will this autumn be collected in several Camps. The Troops of Bohemia will form a Camp near Budweis ; those of Upper Austria will encamp on the Weiser Heath ; and those of Lower Austria occupy a Camp near Winkendorf, to which several Corps will repair from Moravia; these Regiments are in consequence expeEted from that Province. There is a general movement among all our Ile , giments. 'All these military preparations are consi dered as measures necessary for the maintenance of our Neutrality, and necessarily occasion a removal and marching of the Troops and considerable trans- ports. .ALTON 4, AUG. 1 6.--A pfivate Letter from Paris states, that there are frequent conferences between M. TALLEY RAND and Count D COBENTZEL, the Austrian Ambassador ; and it , is hoped that the slif ferences which for some months past.have occasion ed dii:Jaisions between the two Courts will be anti. c.bly terminated. Ail the Swedish Ships which were embargoed in France, to the number of 90, have been set at li berty.

AMTERDAM, AUG. 10.—Three Spanish Ameri can Register Ships, with a great quantity of treasure on board, were with the French and Spanish Fleets under Admirals VILLENEUVE and GRAVINA. It iS supposed that these Ships will, if possible, endeavour to get into Cadiz. The Spanish Squadron of Admiral GRAVINA, of whose destination nothing has yet been officially made known, not only collet:tea considerable ma_ sure at the Havannah,. but in other. Spanish Ameri- can ports. There is a report, which however requires confir mation, that three Spanish Register Ships have a 1 ready got into Corunna. One of our Journals says, " it is understood that the Expedition in the Texel and at the Helder has received dire6tions not to put to Sea till further' orders." It is said the French Emperor, in his journey along the Coast, will visit Helvolitsittys and the Helder.. liitouz, Aye. 13.—0 n the Bth inst.' General MARMONT embarked on board the fleet destined for the Expedition. As he came on board the Ad miral's ship he was saluted by her with 21 guns.— The inspeolion review of the Troops and . Ships of the Fleet, which was to have taken place to-day, has' 'been deferred till the lath, as the Grand lisnsionary intends to be present at it. _The new French Envoy, General Du IVIT CHAU. MOND, arrived here the day before yesterday. The Company of flying artillery which was here" broke up this morning for the Fielder. A great number of Recruits have arrived in this Country from France. M. VAN Room Secretary, of State for the Ma rine, has returned hither from Dunkirk, where he had been to have a conference with Vice-Acirniral VERHECTIA. The alteration in the tone of the Public Journals • under the influence of BONAPARTE, and particularly . of The Moniteur, indicates a very great change in. the.mind of the . Usurper, or some deep scheme by' which. he thinks to elude the sagacity of • this Country, A few months ago, nay, a few days ago, we were mentioned as Shop-I.eepers, Pirates, And Tyrants. Now we are described as a Great Nation, and in that respeot put into comparison even with France itself, which has so long been exclusively held forth as• the Great Nation.-- The warlike movements . among . those Powers • whose patience seems at length to be exhaust ed, and 'who now are apparently determined to set bounds to the insolence and ambition of 80, NAPARTE, may indeed have created some alarm in his mind, and may induce him to resort to any arti fice in' order to avoid the storm that threatens him.—We have indeed heard, from a quarter upon wh:eli we have had reason to place great dependence, that BotiitiviaTa has ae.lually signified his intention, to make another pacific. Overture , to this Country.-- ,Inconsistent as such a measure may seem to be 'with the prominent and essential features of his cha.; rahler, it would certainly correspond with the new tone adopted, by his Journals,, nals,,atid might natnt-ally be supposed to result froM the present situation of 'his affairs. - Our, Rulers,- however, are. sufficiently aware, that. in case the Overtnre we have mentioned shOuld really take place, they will have to deal with. one of the most craftyxuenon earth,and will, ofcourse, • particularly bear in remembrance his frequent and earnest declarations, that nothing but the Peaceof Amiens should be the basis of any future gofiatiort,, and demand a positive disavowal from , BatiArakarg of such. a basic for.a ..snbsequent Ne-.' gotiation, otherwise nothing' 'ha tedious volous, and fatal procrastination will 'be the in evitable result. We should remember the con du&of BONAPARTS at Acre, when , he sent in a'• Flag of Ttuce in order to conceal his design of an • immediate attack, and we itina expeert. that his arti 7 fice will not lie less as a Politician then' it Was as a General. It is evidently his interest to sow 510118, if possible, ametig Austria, Rusaia, cued this Country. But, if we may trust report, his late ex planations respeaing Genoa have'been received more coolly than lie, expected at Berlin, and'.the indeter minate Manner in which . the Ablate' tar has recently adyerte4 to the sentiments of 'Prussia, gives sonic strength to the report. At all events, we should cousider that BONAPARTM'a Olive Branches have hi them) been •Pri idots to consume the Independence of Italy, Holland, Switzerland, and .other States, and tliat Political Incendiaries, under the name' of Ministers of Peace and amicable Negotiation,' hayn been too often the Advanced Gliard*Of 'his treacheroris and destinaive Armies. AN over-land Dispatch arrived this mprning at UN indlairouse, but we have not yet heard what in telligence it bringi. i It is said, that the Confederated Myers had reed, in ease all attempts to effe& a Peace. with 1 Cdr sican Usurper, and secure the independence of other States, should fail, to send Ambassadors to the right ful Monarch of France, and urge him to make an al)_ peal to the honour, the duty, the affeetion, and the pride and common sense of his subjeels, on the dis grace, oppression, and misery to which they are re duced by a Foreign Despot. Such a measure had been recommended long ago, but it would, perhaps, have more effeet at present, as the unhappy people of France have drained the revolutionary cup to the very dregs, and find the bitter draught is composed of nothing but humiliation, despotism, and the most abje& slavery, If this appeal should really be made before any offensive operations commence against the Corsican Usurper, it may shake him on his Throne, and tend more to the deliverance of Europe than any adual hostility against France. Nay, it may obviate the necessity of all military operations but such as may rescue France from its present deplorable state of bondage and despair, groaning, as it does, under the severest police ever known in any country, by orde r or auspicious Upstart, who insults all other Powers, and seems ambitious to extend his tyranny over the whole civilized world. It Is to be hoped that if any of the Continental Powers ' should at last be roused into aetive ex ertion. against the Corsican Despot, they - will them selves also issue such a Manifesto as will be an appeal to the French Nation against the ambition, injustice, and aggressions of their Foreign Oppressor. It is full time to pull this man from the height which he has gained by his crimes as much as by any merits that may belong to his chargter. The condition of the French themselves, under a Govermnent that hardly leaves them even the privilege of thinking, and that certainly forbids them to - utter their thoughts, is alone sufficient to induce them to shake off his usurpation i but when they find that his insolence to other Powers, and, his encroachments upon their territories, and all his numerous oats of violence and ambition, is likely to involve them in new wars and grievous conscriptions, they will surely assert their rights, and -rid themselves of such a detest able Tyrant. Yesterday we received New-York PaPoo to the 20th► ult. which however bring no intelligence of importance. _ _ . On Monday the DUKE of Yoitx attended at his Office in the Horse Guards, and transacted business for the first time since his return from Weymouth. His Royal Highness was constant in his attendance on Tuesday and yesterday, giving diredions for the arrangements that are now making in the Army. Yesterday the Duke of CLARENCE completed hic fortieth year., Private advices from India were yestertlarzeceiv. ed.--They state that Peace has been coicluded with the Rajah of Bnutereona, on terms alike honour able to the RA:JAH and creditable to the British, It ' is added, that Houtaa had manifested afresh dispo, sition to treat for Peace, and that the general tran ipfillity of India was shortly expe&ed to be restored. • A spirit of dissention and revolt, we learn, still continues to pervade several of the Provinces itrhei vicinity of Canton, and several skirmishes had place between the Insurgents and the Imperial ArMy with alternate success, and it was supposed it would require all the force and energy of the Em pire to restore tranquillity to the State. 'Letters from the Ghlph .of Persia mention, that the Imaum.of MuscAT was lately killed in an en gagement between a part of his Fleet and the in habiterits of theripposite shore, who have icing been on terms Of hostility, the latter being the disciples of the Wahabee, and. the former a True Believer. An article )n a . Cork Paper, which we received yes terday, Communicates the fallowing important Intel lifeece. It states, " that at this moment the Spanish /v onarChy shakes to its foundation. The series of cir ciitnatinces Which immediately rotisedall those symp toinalitaieatiVe of the approaching decadence of this ancient Monarchy we. cannot now develope for se veral'reasons---hut we can aver, that the utmost-con sternation prevails in the palace Of Madrid, as well as in the Cabinet and CoUncila of the State. The env.' : gance and tyranny of the PRINCE olPEace has rolista r : the indignation of the higher orders, as well is oei6me of, the most ancient Public .Institutionsacknowledged by the Laws of Spain. He has had the temerity to interfere with the public justice of the country; by' prevailing upon the King to suspend the furnaions of, the Supreme Council gf. Castile, that bad confirmed an appeal. from a Provincial Tribunal, •adverse in its etreas to one of his. favourites, ' who was a party in the Cause. The Council haveaddressed the King in terms becoming the at Spanitth char4ter-ssthey have , admo.iiAled him of the consequences of such an untoward mediation; they have reminded him in bold and manly language, of the dependency of his Predecessors upon the laws of Spain, and upon the determination of the Supreme Council Of Castile in former times ; and they ; have suggested the temerity of putting a daring favouritesibove the laws, and in timated the probable consequence in times so espe cially, marked by such vicissitudes in human autho rity." The Court is in. (tismay,", says our Corre spondent---" but stithli mid distrustfule—their men sums arts obstinate in some respects, and wavering in ethers. The PRINCE of PEACR breathes vengeance;_ and the Supreme Council. of Castile v:/ws resistance s and seems to be the popular -party 'llse ProVinees aye in disorder, and the larp cities turbulent.
