We have to announce a ...k new instance of the in. famous policy which no t uniformly charaderizes the Condon olthe French Government, and which is so much of a piece with all the measures of the' Corsican thurpet, that it will excite indignation without any surprise. Mr. WAGSTAFF, the Mes senger, left this Metropolis on the 7th instant with Dispatches for Berlin and Si. Petersburgh.' Ile sailed from Harwich in the Auckland Packet, Capt. HAMOND,, and on the t eth arrived safely at Husum. 'Here he met an Hanoverian Messene;,er,. 'cif the name of Mor,Latt, who was understood to be on his way to Schwerin with Dispatches for the Hanoverian Minister, who resides at that plaee. . The Travellers proceeded in safety to Rheinsherg. When they came near Lubec . , passing through a wood, they observed a man on horseback in a cloak, Who watched them in a very Suspicious anti alarming manner. But as it was noun. day, and the Travellers were well armed, they were nit much apprehensive of being attacked by a single robber. However, in a very Short iime• the fel low made a signal; and five other men immediately appeared, and joined the first. The carriage was soon surrounded by six men armed with car bines and sabres. Thee furiously demanded the Papers in posgussi , n of . the Messengers, as well as all their money, and every article of value. It was in vain to resist such a formidable banditti ; and the Messengers quietly submitted to their fate. Ma. Wansa'art: delivered the bags which contained his Dispatches, which:the,,ehief of the band of rufreMs' received With great -ele, , ernes..—Whenthe Papers were secured the signal was given for general plun. tier, which the ruffiilii obeyed with great alacrity.. The. Messengers were theta cOnveyed into a more retired part of the wood, and were each tied . to .a tree„ therufliana threatening them with the most dreadful con;eqnencei if ,they attempted to release themselves before an hour and a' half elapsed. In this situation they remained' a considerable time, every moment in apprehension lest the ruffians should be in ambush, or should return and wreak a more bar; barous vengeance on them. At length, by great, struggling, Mr. WaosT e 'aat disengaged himself from his bonds, and released his fellow snare'', It is said that-the ruffians also tied thepostilliOn, and w Iggnner 1 who happened to be ; passing the road at the time, lest they should giee inforMation at the next town of what had l eiraTtl. ACcording to this statement, the postillion and waggoner. efreaed • their escape first, and, in the agitation M their fears, did not stay .to release the Messengers,; but the, waggoner returned sricin after for that purpose - . It is also said, that another person, who represented himself as an Hanoverian : rviercharat, joined the two Messengers 'before this outrage happened, and was ,suspeeteti 'of being a. confederate ; with the ruffians. The waggoner , said that all the rd . . fiaris had been , seen on horsebaCk :bending their course towarda' Aatzcbargb.—The Postillion was found at the next village, and was with diC cafe , induced to proceed with the Trayellers to Schwerin . , where they - arrivad in the evening. Mr.'WosOsTAVF obtained money 6at Schwerin, to ' bear his expences to London, after he had:dispatehcal . .an account of this trimsaation to Mr. jrsoitioN, at I 3 rlin. Mr.WAORTAFF ascertained that the ruf 'flans entered. Ratzebnrgh, at which place 'there is a French Garrison, Mr. WAGT.Ary left Schwerin on the TO. The Hanoverian Messenger was too much .int)iSprtsed 'to proceed. Mr. WAGSTAFF reached Uttsum on the t Ith, arid took his passage no board the lark Packet for Harwich, at which place he arrived yesterday morning. The whole of this nefarioua outrage plainly thews - that it was 'not the ad of common robbers, but that they were ruffians employed by the French Govern. meant to'intereept the Dispatches, and discover the measures of '• the British Cabinet. The Cor. bican Tyrant has evidently no idea of what is due 'to the rights of other Countries, or what befits, the station to 'w*,l! h e has b een so wonderfolly, and, so lamentably for mankind, ex . This infamous. measure, combined with his burgh, cannot but awaken all the Potentates of Eu. rope to a proper sense of their duty to the great community of State,, and rouse them into a. deter. mined attempt to drive such a monster from a situa. tion which enables him to disturb the peace and weaken the security of every Continental Govern. ment. THE Hamburgh Moil due on Wednesday last ar. rived yesterday. The most important article of intelligence which it brings is, a Letter from Hamburgh, announcing that the Austrian Ambassador at Petersburg!' had made at. rangements for his immediate departure from that Ca. pital, in consequence, as it is stated,.of the refusal of the EMP EROR Root to comply 'with the terms of a Note of Remonstrance presented on the part of Austria, against the recent occupancy, by the Rut. sian Forces, of Corfu and other places in the Me. diterranean, and the formidable reinforcement s continually arriving; there. It is added, that the EMPEROR of AUSTRIA and BONAPARTE have agreed upon the partition of Turkey. To assist in the protecution of which scheme, French Troops are to he permitted to march through Moravia and GAllicia. We are inclined to hope that theta is some mistake in this account, as we can scarcer thick it probable that Austria would thus become. the - cittpe oft the crafty policy of the Corsican Usurper the same time however, -we are well 'aware that i t has long been a favourite objeet with BoNA ' , ART a to excite differences between Russia and Austria, on account of the proximity of the Forces of the former to the Mediterranean, and on the alledged pretence of her designs upon Turkey. If DoNAPAILTE has really succeeded in this ohjeet, and detached Austria from her connexion with Russia and. England, we shall lament it upon her account, but we do not think that the general cause of Europe will be so much injortd by this defenion, as at first sight may appear. If the statement to which we have alluded be true, k must in. on a genera l W a r on t h e C ont i., fallibly bring nent, in which case we think it highly probable that Prussia, rather than j 'in Austria, whom she considers as her natural Enemy, or tamely witness her aggrandisement, will throw herself into the arms. of Russia. An important accession ofstrength would thus bd gained, antl'vie haveAktle doubt that the united power of Engand and Rul,ssia would be found amply. sufficient proted the Turkish Em. pre from the assaults of Austria and France. The rest of the'news brought by the Mail, which. will be found in another part of our Paper, is corn. paratively of little importance. The Epidemical Fever still cnntinue.4 its ravages at Alicant and Ca. diz, and oilier parts of the Coast pf Spain ; but there is reason to hope that it has by this time con. s iderubji abated, if it has not entirely ceased its de. sttuelive effeds. • Just Ps our Paper was putting to Press, we re. ceived the following important Communication from Flambitrih; dated Nov. 16. " In the night between the t,ph and tsth, the French made another attempt to carrry off some person from the Ddnish Territory on the Bank of the Elbe, but failed in their design, the .objeft of their pnrsuit 'having made his esc,v. it is supposed they, meant to have seized General SoNTAG, who is in the service 01 England." ON Fridhy the Channel Fleet, under the Command of Admiral CORNWA.LL ta, arrived at Torbay ; bur there is no doubt hut that he will eagerly seize the first opportunity of resuming his situation off,Brest. 1 tut G4zeite of Saturday contains a Prociama. dun for the further Prorogation of Parliament to 'Tuesday the tsth of lantiary.
