No further accounts have been received from Prance, nor have we received any confirmation of the fad} of the Murder of the Duke d'ENoxitrz, but we fear there is no ground for entertaining any Lupe that the statement in the Hamburgh Paper is f alse. It is true, it is nut mentioned in the. Moni reserr of the 233 or 2.4. , h ult. ; but perhaps even 80.

I feel great concern at having 'begin tinder the necessity of sending' the Surgeon and wounded Men belonging to the Brig, to England; the didates of humanity would have induced me to send them to the Helder, could I have been assured that my Flag of Truce would have been respee.led, and the Officers permit. ted to return, which has ever been the custom with civilized Powers at War, until the last Summer, when an English Officer, going to Helvoet under a Flag of Truce, was detained and sent Prisbnet into France.

On conduCting their pitze down the river, .they ,perceived another vessel, apparently of the same kind; the immediate dispositions were therefore made for Attacking her ; but on so doing, found her to he a masked vessel, placed purposely there, well armed, full of soldiers, and protected by some companies of infantry that linedthe shore. This, however, did not damp the ardour of British Seamen : a severe contest of 45 minutes ensued, which ended in our jolly tars placing the English ensign Over the Gallic Batavian flag. After being twelve hours in possession, detained by contrary winds, and exposed to the galling fire of the bat. teries that. line,.; each side of the river, they were reluelantly obliged to relinquish' their - prize.

The Bank of England has come to a resolution of considerably narrowing its Discounts ;on Private Paper.
