', LONDON, AUGUST 31, LORD NELSON'S Squadron, it will be seen from . cur Deal Letter, has now dispersed itself, sailing some to the Northward and some to the Westward. It is not stated that his Lor2ship- is on board any Ship. IN addition to the Paris Papers which reached us on Saturday, we this morning received other sets, which come down to the 2Sth inst. one day later than those which reached us on Saturday. They bring us nothing of any moment. Citizen CAIL LARD and M. CFTTO, the two Plenipotentiaries of the French Republic and of the ELECTOR of BA VARIA, have signed a Treaty of Peace betv:czn the two States, at Paris. The French Tiers Consolide have again risen. Their Mo. operations off Btulogne, as given (..::;;zette of last Tuesday ; and with s of Generfl HUTcIIINA4 , , giving an zccaunt of rho Sul render of cairn. The Flench 'Papers contain an account of two at tempts at di..rnbarkation made by our Cruizers, the Ore on t!.e Coast of Brittany, which was unsuccess, ful, and the other, with better fortune, on the Coast i the neighbourhood of Cadiz, The objeCt cf both of them - , and particularly of the last, ay_ 'hears to have been merely the procuring of provi sions and water ; 'an ate which the French Payers are .pleased to call inhuman and feroci ous, forg,erting doubtless that the carrying off of beasts and other property is perfthly con sis ten t with the laws of war, as recognized and daily praftised throughout the world.—War is doubtless a state of society which Humanity must regret, but which can oniy be a sUbjed of reproach to those who have occasioned it, by their injustice 7,7 i. - ;• with the Official Details of T ord in the the Let! or their provocations. Such is the terror which the anivity and the übiquity ()four Navy h.'s spread among our enemies, that the same precautions which have been adopted against us on the coasts of France and Holland, have been also acliopted in the Adriatic; Chains and barricadoes have been placed at the entry of the Fort of ilanm a . In Order however to .incourage the Republican sailors, and to raise them above this kind of defensive and stationary war, he Chief Cohsul has decreed honorary arms to those . who bore p2tt in the two afEtirs of Algesiras, and in . the pt rnade of our ShiV the S'etvift.ture. BONAPAME has carried his severity still farther than Admiral LAC ROSS!, with respen to the ba nished persons from Guadaloupe. They appear in deed to dispute the point which shall deprive them of the liberty of breathing the same air as himself, for after the French Admiral has transported them from Guadaloupe to France, the Chief Consul, in his turn, banishes them from European France.-- Cayenne will probably at last afford them an asy lum, and they will there at least have the pleasure of again meeting with their companion'and friend Vic•rox HuGuEs. The Hamburgh Mail which became due this morning, had not arrived when our Paper was put to Press. The Gazette of Saturday contains an Erratum of some importance. In the Extraordinary Gazette . of the z3(l inst. it is stated, that. the Embarka tion of the French and Auxiliary Troops shall take place as soon as possible, but at the latest within fifteen days from the date of the ratification of the present Convention." Instead offifteem, this should have been fifty days. Lord IhtowLow's two eldest sons, and several others of our young Nobility, are gone to Moscow, to be present at the Coronation of the young EM PEROR of RUSSIA. The Right Hon. the LORD MAYOR has ordered a Court of Common Council to be summoned, to meet at Guildhall on Wednesday next, precisely at twelve o'clock, to declare the office of Town Clerk of London vacant by the death of Wri.LIANt Rix, Esq. and to appoint a day for the elation of a Tow:n Clerk in his room. We have authority to state, that the Paragraph which appeared in the . jacobin Chronide"sorne days ago, respeaing the Increase of the Salary of the President of the Council, is totally destitute of foun dation. That Office stands precisely on , the same footing as it did before the Duke of Po turLAND ac_ cepted it. Heavy complaints are brought against Mr. PITT for not having distinguished himself, during his ad ministration,. by the support and encouragement of Literary Men. 'this complaint, we conceive, is vented by some disappointed scribblers, who could not persuade Mr. PITT to employ their =- vices, and think as highly of their talents as they did themselves. If these gentlemen had been deemed worthy of Ministerial Patronage in his time, he would no doubt have been held forth as the ALacenas of the age ; the same courteous spirit would have induced each of them to represent him self as a Horace. • At a late Meeting of the Magistrates and princi pal Inhabitants of Yarmouth, to consider the best mode of defence in case of Invasion, a voice was heard, insinuating that the leading men should shel ter themselves iron danger under their magisterial capacity, alledging, that theduty of a Magistrate and that of a fl'oidier were incompatible. This pro duced such general indignation, that it was a long time befoie order could -be restored. When this was eEeeted, the principal men, with one voice, cried that they scorned such a paltry evasion ; that so far from diminishing, they thought their magis terial oflice increased their obligation in their Coun try's defence ; that they had many neighbouring exemples of worthy Magistrates, who showed by their aetions, that they thought the same ; that they burned to spew the sincerity of their profes sions : would repel the Enemy with their last per sonal efforts; and would enable; by their purses, those to come forward, whose good inclinations were fettered by their circumstances. The result of such spirited condaet in the leading men is, that the whole town of Yarmouth resembles a garrison, and even the principal inhabitants are proud to obtain the rank of privates in so noble a cause. The importation of Grain for one week, ending on Friday, was 27,820 quarters, 23,000 of which came from Dantzic. There were likewise, within the same period, 18,464 quarters of Oats and 3790 cwt. of Flour from Ncw-York. Bread of the best wheaten flour, was publicly cried at CroYclon, on Friday last,- for One Shilling the quartern loan; and at Croydon Market, new wheat on Saturday was offered for sale, hard enough for grinding without a mixture. At Cambridge last week, wheat fell r3s. per . coornb, or 265. per . quarter, and the price of the quartern loaf has been inconsequence reduced to is. QV.' At Royston wheat fell los. per quarter. At Northampton the price of prime wheat fell during the last week from 136 to ro4s. per quarter. At Newark, wheat, within the like period, has fallen 255. per quarter, and oats los. • • At'Canterbury, superfine Flour has fallen 15s. per sack, viz. to 6ss. and the price of the quartern loafhas in consequence been reduced from is. rd. to trid.—At Oxford, the quartern loaf sells at is. rd. and at Norwich in cOnsequence of the price of flour having fallen 53. per sack, one ounce eight drachms have been added to the weight of the shil ling loaf. Saturday several persons professing to sell bread cheaper than the regular assize, were convieted be fore the Southwark Magistrate, of selling bread : short of the appointed weight. The two first loaves that were weighed wanted i if ounces, and the next los wanted 2 . 56 ounces. The bread was distributed among the gaols, and the bakers fined ss. for each ounce deficient. Saturday morning the Officers seized a great number of quartern loaves, half quartern loaves, three.penny and two-penny, which were short of weight, at a baker's in the neighbourhood of Ca.: vendish-street. The Average Price of:Stiiar, compUted from the Returns made for the Week - ending the 29th day of August, aor, is Forty-six Shillings and Seven pence Three Farthings per hundred weight. In consequence oi the redudion in the price of Corn, the Magistrates of Edinburgh have reduced the fares of hackney-coaches to the rate they stood at in - January 18co. We are Surprized that the Lon don' Miigistracy have nor, in pursuance to the direc tionS 'of the. Law, made a rs;audion Ilk .7F -1 i:1, - 7:T11:1 ,t 1 +;...;.- - -..--......--...,„:,.. i .

From the LONDON G.RZETTE, Augua 29. ildmiraltj-Qffice, Aug. 21; 1801. Copy of a Leiter from the Honourable William Corn. 4dmiral of the Blue, E:s'e. to Evan Ne. Esi.: dated of Lishant the 20th instant. slit; I have the Honour to transmit to you, for the information of the Lords Commissioners of the Ad miralty, a letter from Captain Wemyss, of His Ma jesty's ship the Unicorn, enclosing one from Cap tain Griffiths, of the Atatante Sloop, both stationed ia watching the Coast of Quilieron. I have the Honour to be, &c. W. CORNWALLIS, his Majesty's Ship_Unic:ons, Quiberon SIR, Bay, 14th Aug. 1801. By His Majesty's Sloop Atalante (which I have sent to you, being short of provisions), I enclose a Journal of my proceedings, and statement of the ship, by which you will see we have barely a month's provisions. Hitherto, notwithstanding all my exertions in sending the boats away armed on different occa sions, and moving with the Ship, I have Only been able to capture one Chasse Mare; of4o tons, laden with lime, not worth - sending - in; (in which business we had the misfortune to have one seaman killed, and one slightly wounded), and to - destrOy one, same burden, laden with corn. Several convoys are lying at different places, ready to slip out; the largest of which, (in the Morbihan,) by anchoring near that place; and com: mai-Ming the passages to the 'Westward, I have pre-. vented moving. His Majesty's Sloop Atalante has been rather more fortunate, having captured Three small light boats, and L'Eveille Armed Luger. The gal, lantry of this affair, to which I was an eye-witness, is fully mentioned in Captain Griffiths's letter, a Copy of which I enclose, and beg leave. to say he' speaks my sentiments on that subjeet. I hope this account of my proceedings will meet your approbation ; and I have the Honour to re main, &c. C. WEMYSS. To Ike Honourable Admiral Cornwallis, &c. &c. &c. Atalante, Quiberon-Bay, Axg. i I, 18oz. SIR, I have to acquaint you, for the information of the Commander in Chief, that yesterday the six, oared cutter, of His Majesty's Sloop under my Command, manned with eight men, captured the French armed Lugger, L'tveille, in the Service of the Republic, of Fifty-eight tons, mounting Two four pounders, and four large swivels, carrying a pound and half ball ; the cool intrepidity with which they rowed up in time of a brisk discharge of cannister and grape from the Lugger, and the cross fire of two small batteries, could not fail to excite my admiration ; they boarded and took her, a mu?_ ker_shot from the shore, (the crew deserting her at the moment), and, I am happy to add, brought her off without any body hurt on our part. The steady determination and good condua of Mr. Francis Smith (who commanded) claims my fullest approbation ; and I trust I may be permitted strongly to recommend him to notice, as well as to express ray thanks to the boat's crew who so ably seconded him. • I am, &c. A. J. GRIFFITHS. Captain Wernyss, His Majesty's Ship Uilicorn. DEAL, AUG. 30. His Majesty's Ship Leyden sailed this morning to the Northward ; thejamaica and Medusa Frigates to the WeStward; and the Ship Princess Amelia, SWAIN, for the Southein Whale Fishery. His Majesty's Ship St. Alban's, RarAi Sloop of War, 4ocu.n. Gun-brig, and Beulab Navy Trans. port, arrived yesterday from the Westward. The St. Alban's sailed immediately for Yar mouth ; the Beulah for the River ; and the Raven with the outward-bound for Portsmouth. The homeward bound West India Fleet arrived in, the Downs this morning, and proceeded imme. diately through i to the River. BANK R UP TS.

Ws - some time since announced the loss of this Ship on the French Coast, in .the neighbourhood of - St Nlalo, and we have n,iw the satisfaetion to ob serve, that owing to the gallant and active inter ference of our people, the enemy has been deprived of the - advantage which resulted to him from the accident. • Capt. CUNNINGHAM, of the Clyde, commanding the Squadron on the Coast, being apprized of the intention of the Enemy to float the sA f'ck of the lason into St. Mato, they having succeeded in haul' ing her under the proteetion of two of their bat teries, by lightening her of her guns, &c. deter' mined to attempt to burn her. Accordingly the sth instant the boats of the Squatl;on, under the orders of Lieutenant Ross, of the Wiazle, bo a rded the wreck, notwithstanding the formidable oppo sition presented by the batteries, a gun.brig, sever' flats, besides row-gallies, cutters, &c. with which she wits surrounded. Lieut. Ross- proceeded to set her on fire, bu t , owing to the rising of the tide, the project pr ove d abortive. The condition of the vessel was, hove'‘ ever, such as to make her a valuable acquisition to the Enemy; and the failure of the attempt to de stroy her, far from depressing the energy, of our : people, 'Only suggested the means for a renewed. and more successful effort. i• It was resolved to try to blow her up; and 0 " the following day Lieut.'RQSS again proceeded to the wreck': the boats of the Weazle, ,baclent, and Liberty, at the same time engaging the Enemys Squadron for the purpose of diverting his attention from our objeet. •At half-past twelve Lieut. Rosa boarded under a heavy fire' from the batteries : at one o'clock, having arranged every thing, and bet, • fire to the train, our gallant party left the slop, in iu, in 35 minutes she was blown to atoms. ~~~ p r.. a SC sh S. gag we. are 'ye n Po Zffd lezrz , Da n , Ina r , lady to tl tnen er fi 'rite Con; the
