THE EMPEROR of AUSTRIA ' according to re. port, is not likely to have his new Title recognized so emily as he might be induced to suppose, except by those Powers on the Continent who do not think it prudent, in the present state of things, to shew any feelings adverse to measures santlioned by the Imperial, or rather the imperious Government of France. If we may credit the rumours alluded to, t an application to the EN!? E ROI of RUSSIA on the ~;..;41, from the Court of Vienna, has not been proauitive of a favourable result and a similar ap. vlication to the British Government has, it is said, been answered by a declaration, that on this point it should attend to the sentiments of its august AL ly, the Emputoz of RussiA.

A Letter from an Officer nn board one ~t &latiron off Havre, (Lied Septembrr 27, :- 16 I am sorty to 11,11,/e to state the ; ;ss :„ur Cutters (the Kilts (eorge), whie in the an of desttoying ort , , which she had forced on shut e, A ..„ . ~; every effort to get her off, but to no purpo,e, ti,ty were under the necessity of destroying her by fire ttypre. vent h er falling into the hart& of the Enemy. 'Ve were too far off in the large. Ships to afford any assistance ; had we been nearer, it would not have been possible to have kept the Enemy in check, as We Could not approach within gunshot, fur the shallowness of the water, and being a strong ebb.tide and Last wind, the Boats of the Squadron c ou ld not have arrived in time to afford any assist. ante, as the Frenchmen were. all in motion, and in less than an hour, fourteen of their Brigs and Lug. gers h a d. completely surrounded them ; but, not. w i t h stan ding this, site was completely cm fire be. fore the last-Boat quitted ly'r, as we could perceive by our spy.glasses. The dastards'then sheered off from the Cutter, , and pursued the BUIS foriour or five miles, keeping up an incessant fire of round, grape, and musquerry, latterly within pistol shot, which literally covered the boats ; and had it not been for the gallant manner in which the Locsirt Gun,hrig stood in and covered them, I am con. vinced, in ten minutes more, , they must h av e b een a'l destroyed or taken ;, but sooner than risque an oftion, though only with two Gun.brigi, they thought it most advisable to abandon the pursuit. Too much praise cannot be bestowed on the Officer and Crew of the Xing Genwe, for the gallant and determined manner in which the whole business was condaled ; however, it is only another instance of the superior courage and address of Iltitish Seamen. While I am closing, this, I at given to under. stand, that not a man is killed Of wounded, ,which a utterly astonishes me, as I never witnessed more, galling fire." i C.ll A► vapouring Letter of Sr.• FAux, Commodore of the Batavian Squadron off Bergen, appeared lately in the Dutch Journals: We cannot give a better refutation of it than tile fultowing ; Eztrael of a Letter from an Officer of His Majesty's Ship I.a Chitlinme, to his friends in Cdinburgh, dated Bergen, zOth July tBo4. 4 4 In mylast, which . t was forced to conclude so abruptly, informed you of part of our proceedings. On Sunday loth I une we lett the. Ethalion, watching the. Corvette at anchor at :the distance of three miles: from her, :and we sailed to cruize at sea to tritmept her, in case she should cscapotite Lthation. . **.on the Titesilay.after, Sr. FA Ulf, a Frenchman, who commando her, and styles himself Goleral, sent a fiak of truce to the F.:theism, (pretending to believe she WAS the Chlfronne, though he well knew' ::he had . sailed), with 3 challenge to 'Captain An Am; o*.ring to go to, sea and engage' us, if Cap tain A. would give his honour no other Ship should assist us, at the same time upbraiding Captain A. of breaking the neutrality, by chasing so closely, adding, if his fOrce had been etioid, he never would have put him to that trouhle. Captain S rs. WART returned a verbal message, that we were Ott sea waiting .tor hint" and it be 'sailed eutild not miss us, adding, that the Ethalien was ot' t he same tate as the Chit"- fonne, and he was very much at ilia service thii Monsieur 1.4 Genergl thought , proper to decline. " • To convince you the tallow had no intentionof fighting, I shall only say, trim when we arrived at Bergen, we round there two large Dutch Corvettes; • weaitchored within hail of thein,, and remained there nearly two weeks, during which . . time Ss. FA vx never dreamed of challenging us, aerl when one of the Corvettes sailed, wip well aware we could not sail after her until, t wenn'. tourhours- lied el apserkw tout break ing the neutrality. As sore' as I'Lat thee erapseki, we sailed from Bergen to take station to intercept the remaining one, our Consul at Bergen giving us duly ietelliiNnee. " Sr. Feox at last, .finding a fair opportunity, as be thought, sailed, and as soon as we received intelligence of it, which was in three hours, we immediately set otf in pursuit of hint, and Julg so near him that he was obliged to go within the rocks. The limits of the neutrality are, 1 believe, a mile without than. Tor three weeks he tried to elude our vigilance without cited, and at lam was so alarmed by our constant pursuit of hint, that he landed some of his guns to form a battery, giving out for his reason, that he expected we would attack him. For this gross violation of the Neu trality be- was severely reprimanded by the Governor of Bergen, Monsieur Bsu t. see e, who instantly ordered his guns on board, and added, that his conduct formed a striking contrast to that of the British Captain's. A Danish Corporal and two Soldiers were sent on board to report it M. Sr. FA tin should think proper to ad again so improperly ; yet this same paper•fighting hero, after presuming to chal lenge us, without ever intending it, lett his Corvette in a Harbour about forty miles from Bergen, stripped of her rig ging, under the charge of a Lieutenant and twenty men, and is now travelling over land to Holland. lie may certainly think himself fortunate if he arrives there, as Mr. Cane, the British Consul, informed me yesterday, that the Gover nor had sent Couriers to arrest hint, as he had killed three or four horses on the road, and refused to pay for them. Some time since we, gave an account of the good condul and bravery of Captain CUMM I Ng, and the crew of the Atolls Brig (a small Guineaman, about zo tons only),. in beating off a French Privateer of much superior force, to windward of Barbadoes, in March last, and afterwards comialing the Apollo safely to her destined port. We are happy in hay. i ng it in our power to announce to the Public, that although those men could not be considered as en. titled to reward from the Patriotic Fund at Lloyd's, yet, to the honour of the Underwriters on the Apglli and her cargo, they have not been other. ways forgotten, as we find that the Underwriters on such part as was insured at Liverpool,' imme. diately presented Captain CUMM INS with a piece of plate ; the London Underwriters, as soon as they were informed of the circumstances, immediately signed off two guineas per cent. on their subtcrip. tions, under the following declaration: " We, the undersigned Underwriters on a Policy of insur. ante, per the Apoilo, Capt. Cumsttns, on a voyage from Liverpool to Africa, and a market, wrote to WM. lin Ryas, in August, tZo3, do hereby agree to allow Two Guineas per Cent. on our rcspedive Subscriptions, to be apportioned by the Owners of said Vessel, and presented by. them to the said Cupt. Cu MM t Ns, his Officers, and Crew, according to their rank in the Vessel, and the services respedively ren. dered by each, in beating oll'a Privateer of superior force on the aid day of March last about So miles to windward of Ba r . badoes, thereby preserving the properly under their case, and skewing a truly laudable British Spirit, in repelling the attacks of an Enemy of superior strength." This Subscription, so trivial individually, yet amounting in the aggregate to 113). has been transmitted by the brolor to the owners of the Apollo, at Liverpool, to he divided as desired, on the return of the Veltel from the voyage she is now performing. We feel much pleasure in making known this circunistanCe, so highly honourable to all the parties, and doubt not hut it will excite an equal emulation in others to • follow the example of t h e hatArtil of brave oleo that composed the crew of the Apollo.

Alderman FLowt a - Mr. Alderman SHAN gains daily upon the Pull ; a strong proof of the good tense and true patriotism 01 the Citizens of London. Indeed it was not to he suppo,ed that the arts of a disappointed Faaion, and the clamours of a Jacobin Gang, 'could tarnish the reputntion of a man who resolved to discharge the duties of an arduous situation, and. doting a pe rjod of extreme violence, with unbiassed fidelity. Whether Mr, Alderman SHAW will, by the event of the present contest, be seated in the Citric Chair, is more than we pretend to divine ; but we may truly declare that no man is better fitted to support its dignity, by judgment , _ retlitude, and a fi rm at. tachment to the British Constitution. Yesterday the LORD Malroa went in state to hold a Court of Wardmote, in the .Watd of Bassi. show, for the EteCtion of an Alderman in the ioom of dFORGII CLARK, Esq. resigned ; when CLAY.

LEA' ATV LOAM ON Thursday next the Books fur receiving the Subscriptions of those Holders of Loyalty Loan who intend to take the Benefit of the late MI %a ill finally close. The short interval that has elapsed since the Declaration of the ortion of the Lords of the Treasury may possibly have been the means cf preventing some of the Parties concerned from con• senting to the proposed arrangement, not having had time thoroughly to understand the nature air. For every tool. of Loyalty, the Holder is to have tool. in the Navy Five per Cents. receiving half a year's dividend on the same on the sth of nnary next, in addition to that which will be due on his Loyalty Stock on the t oth inst. and further, is to have so much Three per Cents. Reduced as is equive. lent to the difference between the value of tool. Navy Fives and tool. Sterling. The Subscriber therefore gets by this arrangement a ohf:r borax:of one quarttria dividend ; and instead of tool. to be received in' April, has'the value of tool., in Stock, on which the interest commences immediately, although the principal cannot be transferred till the period when' he would • have, in the case of his nor consenting , been entitled to his money. •The Only consideration which can be mood " 1 A Plan upon the face of it so advantageous to the individual, is the probability, or rather' the VP sibility, that Stocks'may be lower in April than 1 1 4 are at present, and that, therefore more may then be made of the tool. sterling than it is now calculate d 10 be worth in Stock. Without entering into disee ssipn of the causes which may produce a d tera tion . in sh e an price of the Fonds, we beg - leave to offer a fell $11". plc observations to those whom , an idea of this sort may induce in withhold 'their assent.ln the first place, in retaking it, they prefer 'matter of s / ieciatiert to matter :Of textaintj; * but besides this, it - :very important to recolleCt :that they get a Stock 'by the arrangement which, in the event of a general 'depression of the Funds, is less liable to variation than any other day they could purchase. For they a re to h av e a Five per Cent. at its aftual value. Now the reason why of this vatue never bear s its due p ro p ortion to t hat the Three per Cents. the liability of th e fortnee t° be paid off at par, which snakes it a dim:kowtow Stock, if Stocks rise, and it is, for the same re.atonts which •. she an a f ivastageous Stock, if :boy " art • os case supposed by those who think it unwiso C the eept the terms offered by the Mt v alue Funds are depressed, the steam I'o 4l of the ; per Cent.
