Ifamburgh THE SUN. $0101,14 4UIII DICS&S /ALIUM AVD&AT ? LONDON, "THURSDAY, OCTOIIIII 2S, 1804. IT appears by our Letters from the Coast, that Captain °weir, of the hemortafit, has had another brush with a detachment of the French Flotilla, consisting of three large Praams, eight Gun.brigs, and fifteen Luggers of the first class. They sailed on Tuesday from Calais for the general tendezvous at Boulogne. Capt. Ow PN, in company only with the Basilisk Guo.brig, attacked them, in the hopes of cuttini them tiff; and as he came tip within gun shot of them near Cape Griznez, there is very little, doubt that he peppered them severely ; but, as usual, they kept so close under the protection of their Batteries, that all his efforts to cut them off were in vain, and they succeeded in getting into the Harbour. It seems that no superiority in point of Force is sufficient to en. courage any of this boasted Flotilla to venture to attack our Cruizers beyond the proteCtion of their Batteries. The large Praams carry above thirty guns each, heavy metal, and were therefore of themselves an over.match in point of force for the Immortalise and Basilisk ; and yet, with the as. sistance of twenty-three large Gun.brigs, they dared not venture to engage in a fair contest with a single British Frigate and a small Gun.brig. THRItt Hamburg Mail: arrived thiti morning, -which, however, bring little of importance. The KING Of SAR.DINIA is stated to have been offered as an Indemnity the Territory of Scienna, in Tus. can,', with a Revenue of about zo,oool.- per ann. which he refused. The report that Malta is to be ceded to Russia is again repeated. , Nothill decisive can be:gleaned from the Letters from the Hague with respect to the intended new )3atavian CeMstitution : it is thought, however, that a new Legislative Body will be established, very similar to the for Mer States General. The Fever at Malaga forrnnately begins to abate. His. Royal Highne.ts the Pit:lce of WALES left town yesterday for Brighton. His Royal Highness the Dolce of ?rite gave an elegant. Diortet on Tuesday to a large party of Military and other Gentlemen, at his house in Port. man.souatt. Lady PERTH and Mies DRUMM'IND arrived yes. terclny' at their house in .Grosvenor.square, fur a few days, from their Seat, Hampton Court. Th e Duke and Dutchess of Sr. ALBANS, and seleet party, dined yesterday with the Duke and notches* o f -DEVONSHIRE, at their rural retreat at Chiswick. The PRINCE( of WALES has received a rflnSt su. perk piesent of ivory chairs from China : they are intended for the Pavilion at Brighton. According to a Letter from Calmar, in Swede n , besides the Km% of FRANCE, and Their Royal Highnesses, MONSIEUR and the DukeOf ANCOU. ',EMI, the Swedish Grand Chancellor, Count De Fr RsEN, the Russian Chamberlain, 'COunt lovv, the late English Minister to the Court of Sturgardt, Mr. SPENCER SMITH, and the Danish C lamberlain, Baron Dr BLOME, were expeded there. Should this be the case, something more than the private family affairs of the 13oueauss will be transacted there. We have declared before, that His Most Christian Majesty, Louts XVIII. and the Princes of his Blood, intended to publish a Pro. test against the Corsica's Usurpation. We, at the same time, declared, that which appeared in The inivrilear ir forgery of BoIIAYARTP. TALLEYRAND, an d C o , We have now reason to believe, that such art Aet is under consideration, with the approbation, and according to the advice, of the Courts of St. Tames's,. St. Petersbargh, Stockholm, and Copen. itiagen. As soon as it shall. In actermined upon, we 1111011 lay it before the Public. t The Spanish' Ambassador waited on Lord 'HA*. }to ,v Gv esterday, and had a !Ong conference with his Lordship. The answer which is to decide the question of Peace or War with Spain is nut ex_ petted to arrive in less' than a littnight„ In the mean tiore, several mule Frigates have been dig. patched to Cruixe to the Southward, for the put. pose of detaining the remainder of the Si,inish Treasure Ships now on their way from America. Accounts have been received frbrA Patis by Mr. COUTTft, the Banker, stating, that the English who have been so urjustly detained in France have been put in close confinement. Lord ELGIN. ibthe only exception, The reason assigned fur this severe melt. sure is the departure of Sir JAMES CII.AUFURD for this Country. It is needless to dwell on the violation of justice and decency which the. French Govern ment has shewn in seizing and prolonging the cap. tivity of those English who visited France in a time of peace, anti upon the security of public faith, But the c l ose confinement of our Countrymen is not the only ill consequence Of this unjust measure, for uf Government had in itle an allowance to our gallant Countrymen, in addition to the - French ra. lion, through the medium of Capt. —RENTON, who drew on tin. Huse of COU'ETS and. Co. by means of M. PERILIGAUD. As Captain BRENTON can 1.0 longer ascertain the due application of the allow_ thus extentlet% he has properly signified t h at tie liatt been obliged to put an end to it. MAILS. ♦RRIVID• ♦ DVS. THE RAMBURCII AWLS. VI !MIA s OCT. 4. —The French Arobassador, , M. Cum4Paotsy, has tcceived, with his new Cre. dentials, his Lesters of recall. Hs will probably have his audience of leave of his Imperial Majesty at Lcutz, and thence set out on his return to France, as he will enter on his Office as Minister of the in. tenor previous to the Coronation. His first Scere. tary of Legation, M. DArroust, will ternain here as Charge d'Affaires. OCT. cm—The late Minister of State, M. THUR. GUT, has beten very ill at Pretburgh ; but according to the lasr,accounts, was somewhat better. The .price of grain here continually advances. CONSTAiTINOrLE, SETT. to.—A fire, of eight hours' continuance, has to.4lay laid in ashes, five mosques and above moo houses. In the night of the 7th a large village in the vicinity of the Cali. tal, principally inhabited by Jews, was likewise burned. 21.—Last week a Courier arrived her; from Paris, with Dispatches to the French Ambassador, containing advice of the reciprocal acknowledgment of the two Imperial Dignities of France arid Au stria. The Internuncio has also within these few days received advice of this acknowledgment, and communicated the intelligence to the Sublime Porte. He now expels the arrival of his new Credentials. The powerful Force. which the Paella of Romelia has assembled against the Rebels in his Province, has occasioned the Rokachigli, or Chief of these Banditti, to fly with some thousands of his parti. zany into the Territory of PAswAN OGLOU. AGO. ther Insurgent, ISMAELPACHA, who has seized the Government of Acre, is willing, since he is blocked Up on all sides, to enter into a Negotia'tion with the Porte. This Negotiation has been entrusted to a man of probity and merit, who has obtained the confidence of the Grand Signior. The late destrudive fire, which laid the village of jophana and the artillery barracks in ashes, is attributed to the discontent of the populace on ac. count of the scarcity of bread ; the Janisariea like. wise have not received their pay for some time. A Russian Ship or 6+ guns, with about Soo troops on board, arrived hire on the 27th ult. on her way to Corfu; ITALY, Oc, is 'now known that the KING of SARD INT A has been offered, as his indem. nitication, a part of Tuscany (the State of eienna), anti a yearly revenue of soo,ooo flares; which, however, he has refused. Two persons have been arrested at Leghorn. for making bignalo ,to Privateers at sea to inform them when Ships laden with Mercliandize were about to sail. : , . . The Journey of the Pcrs (who is now recovered from his indisposition) to Paris will be by Flo rence, Bologna, Alessandria, Sce. where all the necessary preparations are made for his reception. A. 4 there are some disturbances in Turkish Al. bania, the Garrison in Austrian Dalmatia and :it Catland have been reinforced. Mt tcr2, Ocr. 6.—The Russian Charge d'Af. (Aires on the 2d inst. received Dispatches by a Colt. Tier from St. Petersburg!) ; immediataly after which he gave in a Note to the Minister TALLEYRAND I and the day after left the City. It is understood that the EieCtoral Prince, and Prince Louis of Baden, the Hereditary, Prince of Hesse Darmstadt, the Prince of Yemburg, the Prince of Nassau Weil!burg, and several Counts of the Empire, will repair to Paris, 'about the end of Oftuber, to be present at the solemnities of the Coronation. Those Princes who cannot attend in person, it is expeded, will send Ambassadors Ex. traordinary. The reports in several of the 'German Papers, re lativ.e to certain changes tO be determined here, seem not to be confirmed. Our , Emperor wishes the preservation of the peace Of the Continent. WEZTLXR, Ocr. 6.--The Princes and Counts in this vicinity, who were at Mentz, have returned to.day. Several ofthem, will go. to Paris to the Coronation. His Eletloral:Highness of Hesse, who, on account 'of Hines's, could not go to Mentz, and who the day before yesterday returned from Wit. helmrbad, through Gresscn to Cassel,.'has been like. wise invited to go 'to Plait, Cur Eledor experts an invitation from the Pops to meet hiM at Paris, and there conclude the Con. cordat, so important fur Germany. GstroA, SEPT. 22.—AttOtiling to Letters from ibl ogni i, the number of French Troops which marched through • that City for Southern Italy, amount to zo,ooo. An agreement has been entered into between England and Russia to pihse l s the I s l an d o f m a i m in common . , for which purpose sopa Russian Troops will soon go from Corfu to Malta; HAGUIr, OCT. i6.—To.dily it waa . repared here that an •Cnibargo had been laid upon All It Wks tUppitd tktt 1114 was in szuniequer , tit" the , Expedition against England, and the report occa. sioned here a very great sensation. According 'however, to Letters from Amsterdam, received this day, Admiral KHMER? has only taken some mea. sures of precaution against spies, Rnd to prevent ccr. Main rommunicationsivith England ; in consequence of which tome' Ships from they. North were prevented from sailing. The day before yesterday the-Legislative Body began its Autumnal Sittings . ; it ,is believed, how. ever, that they will not continue the stated time of six weeks ; hut that the said Body will break up, and no more deliberate on the Plan of the New Constitution. With respell to this New Constitution, the Ne gotiations still continue. The Ambassador Scnihr. MILPENNZNCK, whose father is dead at Amster dam, .is now in that City, indisposed. The eight Dcparttnents, we are 'assured, will re.assume the name of Provinces, and receive again a part of their SOvereignty. The Central Government will consist of the Deputies from the Provinces, who, will form an Assembly of States General. We ars also assured, that this new establishment will not have for its consequence any reduftion of the rents and interest of the National Debt. The new ge neral system of taxation will, it is said, bring in about 12 millions of florins. ,This day a Committee of the Principal Authorities of 'the State will meet in the Great Hall called Trevies Kammer, when the plan of the New Con. atitution will be laid before them. MALAGA, SEPT. 22.—The disease here, thank a . God, begins to abate, though its ravages are still sufficiently dreadful. On the 18th died 134, on the ,9th t 14, on the loth 98, and yesterday 115 persons. Recovered on the 18th isB, on the 19th 286, on the loth 244, and on the silt 309. Ncw sick on the 18th 236, on the 19th 142, on.the zoth Ty, and on the 3lht 158. Number of sick on the t Bth, 2811 ; on the :9th, 2544; on the loth, 2343; on the 21,t, 2196. (ANOTHER LETTER, SAM! DATE.) Tha disease here is now less violent ; and we hope that in some weeks, when the weather be. comes colder, it will entirely cease. There are now few sick in the City ; the greater part ate in the Hospitals and the Lazaretto. The French Commander in Chief at St. Omet's denominates the plan for destroying the Boulogne Flotilla, ig a cowardly and horrible project." We should be'glad to hear what epithls that Comman der would have given to the MO of the French Flotilla, if he were an Englishman. Is not the 'ohjea: of that Flotilla . to spread carnage and ties°. lation over this happy country ? To reduce us to a ieft vass a l age on France?! To make reof tl I t h eli moat ho abject hopeless Vilma of Corsican vengeance To efface us from the rank of Nations, and convert us into mere " hewers of wood and drawers of wa. tee!' for the most base, and infamous people upon the whole earth ? Can any . prnjel be blamed that, ac. cording to the usages of War, is intended to avert •st) dreadful a fate ? If the French want examples of tt Cowardly and horrible projects," let them look upon the treatment which all Countries,have ex. perienced who have been so miserable as to be ex. posed to their enmity or protaioa • The Morning Paper that has chiefly distinguish. ed itself in the despicable attempt to damp na. tional spirit, and to represent the late Experiment to frustrate the views of out. Enemies as a weak, contemptible, and ridiculous degradation of our Naval Force, inserts the French accounts of that trans:44)n, without testify log . the least sense of' contrition at finding our hmemtes are more just to us than a Journal that ought to b e Bra'ri4b, but which in general seems as if published under the imprimatur of the Corsican Usurper. Not a watd of recantation, after such a complete and disgrace. ful discomfiture does the Paper allud e d to conta i n ; hut, speaking o f the French accounts, simply says, " the whole will be found curious."—Ub ! thane where is thy blush !" The chief' Patron of Sir FRANCIS Iltlao err, in Gloucestershire, is a man who having squandered his own fortune, is now strenuously employed in.endep, yours' to imprOve that of the patriotic Baronet. - Such are, indeed, the Men , in general who are travelling from post to pillar, SubJc,iption.hunting. There are some errors in the Gazettt of Tuesday, obviously typographical, which it may 'not be im. proper for us to correti.—For ‘"rearta wool," read Ficuna, commonly called Pigagna wool, the fleece Pf the wild Peruvian sheep. We also suspetl, that the ball of Tin will turn out to be bars of Zink, or Nickle, or perhaps Silver, as there is not in any part of Pent a single mine of Tin; Letters received in Limerick, by the last Mail from Alicant, mention that the yellow fiver has made ire appearance in that city ; that abov e two . thirds of th e . inhabitants have fl ed to the coun tr y to avoid the contagion ; and that two centinels are placed at the door of every house in which there is any .person sick.—Several shocks of an earthquake have been felt at 'Almeria, near Alicant. The Corporation of Dublin have appointei a Committee to represent to his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant the distress arising to Ttade from the bad state of the Coin, and submit such remedy as to them should appear etfrdual. We art extremely sorry to state, that as Colonel Routicrsorr, of the Royal Westminster Volunteers, was returning home on Tuesday from Kennington, through the Park, his horse fell and threw him ; his shou!der was dislocated and his arm broken. is, however, in a fair way of recovery NAP/IL h EWS.
