SEIZURE OF TUB DUKE D'ENGIIIEN. LETTFR FRONT TALLPYR,%ND TO BARON EDEL.. MINIJTF.R OF STATE TO THE g LECTOR OF BADEN. MONSIEUR LE BARON, Match 12. " I had transmitted to you a Note, purporting to demand the arrest of a Committee of French Emigrants sitting at 0 ffenhurg, when the FIRST CONS C L,by the successive arrest of 'the banditti whom the English Government has sent into France, as well as by the progress and result of the prosecu— tions mstituted here, obtained information of the share which the English Agents at Otfenburg had in the terrible plot hatching against his person and the safety of France. He has also been inf,rined that the Duc D'ENCHI EN and Gen. Diymou ti.x are at Ettenheim. It being impossible that they should shoutshouldb e i n that town tree' s without His Eleeloral High ! leave, the E f.r. CONSUL could not see, without the deepest r..gret, that a Prince to wham. he has vouchsafed to shew the most conspicuous cal-as of his friendship, could gram an asylum to his most cruel enemies, and quietly let them hatch such unht;ard-of 'conspiracies. " On this extraordinary occasion, the FritsT CONSUL has thouo.• proper to order two small detachment s t o repa i r to Olienburg and Ettenheim, there to seize upon the.plotters of a crime, which, from its nature, puts all these who have been convided of the same, out of the Law of Nations. Gen. CAULI r , icoiJk-r has been charged with the I IRST CONSUL'S orders for this purpose. N t ou cannot doubt but he will, when executing the same, shew every regard which his Highness may desire. tie will h ave t h e h onour to hand to your Excellency this Letter, which I am charged to write to you.

THE iI4M7jURG:II MAIL. V MITA, MARCH 28.---The ELECTOR Gf BADFii . hAs sent hither an Official Notification of clic ar . ret of the French Emigrants at Offenburg, and at other places, A Courier who arrived here from Paris the d.iy before yesterday, has informed our Court that the French Government had been under the necessity of arresting certain French Emigrants who had been engaged in a Conspiracy against the safety of the Republic, of which sufficient proofs had been ob tained, and that after having made an application to the Eledor of Baden, in whose Country these Emi grants had taken up their residence, they had been seized in the German Territory and concluded to France. . It is said that the Archduke JOHN will inspen the Fortressess and Coasts of Dalmatia and Istria, in quality of Chief of the Corps of Artillery. CONSTANTINOPLE, MARCH I.—Eight days ago three Russian Transports, with 900 Troops on hoard, arrived off the village of Buyukdera, from Se vast°. poli, under the escort of a Russian Frigate. After a conference between the Turkish Ministry and the Russian Envoy, Count ITALINsitY, the Frigate re. turned to Sevastopoli, and the Transports continued their voyage to Corfu, where the Troops will re lieve the Garrison. Five Ships of War from the Fleet of Admiral •NE LSON are cruizing off the Coast of Ragusa, as a Siiihidion of Observation. It is as yet undetermined whether a French Vice. Commercial . Commissary will reside at Varna.

The Princess CLEMENTINA DR ROHAN ROCHE- FORT, who voluntarily followed the Duke D'EN. OHIEN to Strasburg, has returned to Ettenheim.— The• Prince was extremely fond of this Princess, who is a Niece of the Cardinal de ROHAN, and his love lot her appears to leave induced him,to reside whets he did. STRASBURG, MARCH 27.:--Last Saturday more State Prisoners were brought from Wissenburg, and fudged in the Citadel. These are Citizens Bo E President of the Civil Tribunal of Wissenburg, and Mti , Ett, judge of the saute Tribunal. The Grand judge had himself signed the order under which they were arrested. They are accused, it is said, of being engaged in conspiracy against the safety of the State. The Emigrants arrested on the right bank of the Rhine, and also as many of their accomplices on the left hank as the Officers have been able to seize, are continually concluding to Paris ; all their Papers are sealed up and sent with them. Several State Prisoners from the Upper Rhine, and the neighbour_ ing countries, have been brought in and lodged in the Citadel. MFNTZ, MARCH 3 KtJPPELMAYR, who had been brought hither from Frankfort, has been sent to Paris with several other State Prisoners. To-day several other arrests have taken place, , but the report circulated in the public Journals, that our worthy Bishop COLMAR has been apprehended,' is without foundation. HANOVER, MARCH 31.—The quantity of paper demanded by the French to make cartridges amounts to ts,ooo reams ; it has been furnished to them from the Tribunals and Colleges, which have given up for that purpose their old writings and useless ads. An order has been issued for the making of a quantity of gabions and fascines, the wood for which is to be supplied from the Royal Forests. A division of French Artillery, which was can. toned in the Bailiwic of Calenburg, has received orders to remove to the Territory of Osnabruck.

On the zzd ult. a Fre,pch detaChment unexpenedly entered Meppep (in the Territory orAhremberg). The English goods which had arrived there by the Em, item the Frankfort Fair, had been conveyed the day before to Lingers : and the Ships which lay between Einbden and Halu received orders to re. main under the Prussian protection. Extract f a Letter from Paris, March zs.—The Duke D'ENoux Ex, some days before his arrest, ap. ',eared to be very uneasy, especially after he had learned the arrest of Madame DE RE tscx, with whom he maintained a correspondence ; and he had prepared every thing to retire into the interior of Germany on the first intelligence which might confirm his fears ; but the expedition of Ge. neral CAULINCOURT was condoned with so much promptitude, that he could not escape. He was carried to Paris with so much speed, that even if he had been destitute of the courage he was known to possess, it was scarcely possible that he should feel all the anxiety t h at must otherwise have been produced by his deplorable situation. He was so fatigued when he arrived at Vincennes, that he slept soundly during the sitting of the Mili tary Commission which condemned him : it was necessary to awake him to read his sentence to him. He met death without terror ; he would not even, suffer his eyes to be bound ; and several Generals who wished to be witnesses of his last moments, were astonished at the coolness and contempt with which he resigned life. He was shot in a fosse of the castle by 25 men of the Gendarmerie d'Elite. „„,. , %Acti theie two days a report Yias bee» eireti:ated ve.ry favourable to General Mo R F AU , which is, t hat he will not be tried with i he other State CriMinals. In One of the last examinations, PicHFc Rt.; was confronted w ith G EORCES; they appeared at least, to he ver‘,. far from good friends, and GEORGES called P n 1 r Rti the Republican General. It was yesterday repotted, that the Duke of BERRI' had been arrested in a diligence about ten miles frnm this City, with a stranger who accom panied him. It was also said, that Pr 6HRGRU had died in prison; but both these reports are without founda t ion. FRONTIERS OF SW itZ ER LAND. Disturbances have broken out in the Canton of Zurich, fout Com munes of that Canton having refused to submit to the new regulations and to take the oath of allegiance. They would only swear by Liberty, Equality, and the Gospel. On the refusal to rake the oath, very tumultuous scenes ensued. , The Communes were those of Wadenschereil, Richterscheveil, Schonen berg, and Hutten. The Landarnman published a spirited proclamation, and several Companies of Troops were sent to Zurich and its vicinity, by which means the riots are already quelled. The French Envoy is particularly attentive to the proceedings of certain Committees which have a connexion and correspondence with other countries. Several persons above the common class have been arrested at Geneva, and on the borders of the Lake. of Geneva. HAGUE, MAR CH 3 r.—The town of Utrecht, in consequence of the establishment of the French Head-quarters there, is now extremely full. Seven_ ty.five houses have been appropriated to the use of clic persons appertaining to the Head-quarters. Many persons have, in consequence of the crowd and bustle in the town, retired to their. country houses. Same of the churches have been given up to the Soldiers. The Troops will soon be encamped on the Heath between Amersfrt and Zeist. The preparations for the Expedition are carrying on in the Texel with the greatest acciivity. The Prussian Officers and Soldiers absent on fur lough from the Regiments In . Westphalia are recalled for the customary Reviews ; hut all that has been said in our Journals about the Prussian preparations in 'Westphalia, a great Camp at Lippstadr, the drawing of a cordon, &c. is entirely without foun dation. Rear. Admiral STOREY is still under arrest at Cleves : he has solicited to be permitted to go to his estate, on giving bail to the amount of 50,000 florins, but this has been refined. AMSTERDAM, MARCH 3i.—According to official accounts, received from Surinam, such preparations for defence have been nvide there by Rear-Admiral BLots VON 1 RESLONG, that no fears are entertain. cd of an attack by the English. Sir SIDNEY SMITH has sent a proposal by a Neu tral Ship, for an Exchange of Ptisoners. Several Neutral Ships, on which an .Embargo had been laid at Dunkirk, have been , permitted to sail from that Port, so that the Embargo must have been taken off, at least in part. BERLIN, ATIUL 3.—The day before.yesterday, in the evening, intelligence' was received here that the sentence of. death passed on the Duke d'EN GHJEN, had been carried into execution at Vin cennes. NIMEGUEN, APRIL 3.—The General of TY,lvi. sion GROUCI-IY, Will establish his head-quarters here and at Arnheim.. 00 his application fora suit_ able residence, the Magistrates direded that a kind of Lottery should. be made of a number of the prin cipal houses, the drawing of which should determine which house should be assigned to him. The lot fell on the elegant mansion of M. STADNITqCI. The above-mentioned General was expeCted here last Sunday, but was prevented by illness : lie will, however, arrive here to-day or tomorrow. THE FRENCH PRINCE3.—On Tuesday evening MossikUtt (the Count D'ARTots) went to Wan stead-house to communicate to the Duke 'of Boort- BON the melancholy tidings of the murder of his von. He was met at the door by the Duke of BOURBON, who, perceiving grief and sorrow m ar k e d on e very feature, immediately anticipated the cruel fate of his son. Without hearing or uttering a word, he locked himself up in his study, and there gave a vent to his sorrow. MONSIEUR then entered the apartment of the Prince DE CoNUE, and said, " You know, my uncle, I have to deplore the murder of my brother, of a sister, of a sister-in-law, and of a nephew." His Royal Highness the Prince DE CONDE, judg ing what this preface led to, interrupting him, ex. claimed-- , -" My grandson is no more ; I have no more posterity."—So saying, he fell into the arms of the - Chevalier Da CoNti, who attended MoN., EuR.. Half an hour passed before he recovered, and burst into a flood of tears. Upon his reco very, he apologised to. MONSIEUR for his weak, ness, Asuring him they were the first tears he had shed since,the murder of I-Guts XVI, The Prince being extremely ill was put to bed, and MONSIEUR passed the. night at Wanstead House, in hopes of seeing the Duke of BOURBON, who remained shut up in his apartment until ten o'clock on Wednes day morning. He then consented to see MON siEußrbut when they met, neither could utter a word. MONSIEUR parted then from him, went into his carriage, and the Duke retired to his chamber. A letter dated New-York, March 3, has the fol lowing intelligence : " Capt. FAIRCHILDS, who arrived at this port yesterday, in the Brig Ann, from Aux-Cayes, informs us, that on the 2lst of January, about 7o White inhabitants were massacred by the Brigands, and thrown into the, river, said to be in consequence of the Commander having received in telligence that General DIISSALINES might be daily expected there from Port-au-Prince to replace him, and that he (the Commander) had determined to use his power, so long as it should be continued to him, in avenging the injuries of the Blacks. A few days since, as Mrs. Stephens, of Plympton, was reading by her parlour fire, a coal fell upon her cl o thes, and set them in a blaze ; by which she was burnt in a dreadful manner, and died shortly after in great agony. ASIIFORD, APRIL 13, TIIEF.E was a _grand field day yesterday of I'. l a. jor-Gergral §Titt`tAßT's Brigade.

The RuSi!l6t - i . Ambassador has obtained permission flr several 'Gardeners to leave this country fot Petcrsburgh, to be employed in the gardens of the ' E , llperpr ALEXANriER. We have already noticed the capture of the Hazard Private e r belonging to Nassau: after she was taken, the French murdered all the Blacks on hoard, in cool blood, in.., a mcst savage manner. Two of those unhappy wretches were kept alive for ome time, and cut and mangled in a shocking man es, for the amusement of time French. A circumstance in the history of the late John Binns, Esq. of Threadneedie_street, who died last Friday, aged7z, demands to be recorded for the Ko nour of human nature.—,The noted miser, Jemmy Taylor, who was so well known in the Transfer Books at the Bank, sent' for Mr. Binns shortly be fore he expired, informing him. (Mr. B.) that he stood in his will (after bequeathing very handsome sums amongst his own reiations), in the sum of 50,0001. ; adding, " I know, my dear friend, you will improve it ; and ILA I left time whole amongst my relations, they would only have squandered it away."—Mr. Binns aecered of the executorship, and thanked Mr. Tayl o r for his bounty ; but no sooner did he prove the will, than he distributed the whole amongst the deceased's legal heirs. Two Foreigners arrived on Thursday at Harwich. They came in a Neutral Vessel from Holland, and represented themselves as private Couriers, with Dispatches for our• Government. Not being known or accredited Messengers, it was thought necessary to send a confidential person with them to town, and they were sent back on Friday. While at dinner at the Three Cups, Inn, at Harwich, they fell out.— They immediately went to a hardware-shop, where they purchased two knives, with which they at tacked each other. Before they could be separated, one of them received a wound in the shoulder. The other was stabbed in the side, and the wound is considered mortal. He is now laying at Harwich' and his opponent, whose wound is slight, was sent back to town, where he arrived on Saturday. On Monday night last an aWray happened be tween a Custom-house Officer, assisted by a party of military, and some smugglers who were unload ing a Cutter at Dumpton_stairs, near Ramsgate. The smugglers, after unloading their goods, attempted to get uff' the cutter, when they were fired upon. Two of them were killed, and a third was wounded. On Saturday night, about eight o'clock, a person of the name of George Friday, in the employ of Messrs. GIFFORDS, Porter Brewers, Castle.street, Long Acre, put a period to his existence by hang_ ing himself in their brewery ; he was observed in the. early part of the evening at his work, but not corning to the compting-house to receive his wages, as was customary on a Saturday night, a suspicion arose that he had drowned himself in one of the large vats: they were accordingly dragged. On search ing the brewery further, he was discovered hang. ing from one of the beams by small a cord, tied with a number of knots : he was immediately cut down, and although he had been missing but a short time, not the least spark of life remained ; he had lately been in a very dejeded state of mind. The horses in a dray, on Thursday, took fright while passing along the Kent Road, and running against a post, threw three buts of porter with such violence into the road, that they stove to pieces, and the entire of the liquor was lost. A farmer in Carrick had lately the following ad.. dition to his stock in one night : his wife was deli. vered of a child ; a cow calved two cylves ; three ewes yeaned nine lambs ; and a sow farrowed eleven pigs. - - - - At Fairnington, a few days ago, an ewe of the Cheviot breed, brought forth four lambs, which are all alive and healthy. A few days ago, a house at the Five Ways, .Bir. mingham, was struck by lightning, which entered' the chimney, and passing out at the fire-place with a vivid flash, burnt some muslin on which a lady was at work, scorched the chair on which she sat, but did her no injury ; it then passed out at the win— dow, to which it did much damage. The average price of Brown or Muscovado Su. gar, computed from the Returns made for the week ending the it th day of April, 1804., is Fifty.oze Shillings and Ten-Pence flalftenny per cs 4 t,
