THE SUN• SOLZM QUI& DICERE FALLULI AUDEAT ? LO N DON, AlI AY 3, 1804. Mr: arrangements for the new Administration are not yet completed. It was understood that Mr. 'PITT was yesterday to have had an audience of His MAJESTY, bat it is now said that the interview will not take place till to.morrow or Saturday. Mr. Fox will probably put some questions to Ministers to-night in the House of Common 3, and upon their answer will depend whether his Motion which ~rands for to-LnorrL.,v, will be bt-Gught on or not. A Hamburgh and the lf ; i__On.terirl to the i Sth Sit. were received yesterday. Mr. DRArsE had ar rived at Azzgsburgb on the 4th of last month, on his way to Hamburgh, where he intended to embark for England. The influence of the French Goveru :nent over the 14:LECTOR of BAVARIA is manifested every day the Printer of the Bamberg Gazette. has been sentenced to a fine and imprisonment, for having ventured to make some observations in his Paper, which were not considered as sufficiently re. spedfui to the French Nation. The report that BONAPARTE means to assume thelmperial Dignity, and that it will be made hereditary in his family, is circulated with increased confidence. The Ad dresses which have been procured from different parts of France, are evidently preparatory to some measure of that kind. NAPOLEON, the son of Louts BONAPARTE, it is generally supposed, will be declared Heir Apparent; and the Legion of Ho nour is also to be declared hereditary. The dif ferences between the Court of Stochholm and the Government of France, appear to he taking a se rious turn. According to the last accounts, the Swedish Ambassador was about to depart from Paris, and to leave only a Chargi d'Affaires to fill his situation. An article from Genia, April z, says, " Admiral NELSON has received a reinforcement of ceveral Ships of War, and will divide his Fleet into two Squadrons, one of which will la!ockale Toulon, while the other sails against Algiers." There is no intelligence of any importance from the Coast : a firing was heard in the dire lion of Bc:dogue on Monday and Tuesday, which probably arose from some cf the Enemy's Flotilla endeavour. ing to get into that Harbour. We are sorry to find, by our Falinouth Letter, that the S IP Armed Cutter, which was going to the Mediterranean with DispatcheF, to Lord NEL. lON, has been captured after a severe engagement, by a French Privateer, and the Dispatches are said to have fallen into the hands of the Enemy. Yesterday morning His MAJESTY rode in the Queen's Riding-house, and afterwards walked in the garden. About twelve o'clock the LORD CHAN. C E Loa had an audience of H:3 MAI esTY. In the course of the day the KING signed a number of offi cial papers. Yesterday HER MAJESTY and the PIIINcEssn, attended by the Countess of CARDIGAN and Lady CRANL EY, took an airing by Hampstead and High ga:e. A considerable alarm prevailed at Dorchester, on Tuesday morning last. A report was circulated, and air some time generally credited, that the Enemy had fretted a landing on Portland Beach. The drurni im mediately beat to arms, and the Volunteers repaired with all possible expedition to their respetive posts. General GARTH, the Cotntnander of the District, was sent for, and the Military were in perfel readi ness to march, when it was found that the whole was a false alarm, originating in the appcarance of a num ber of our own ships off that part of the coast. Yesterday a Coarr of DireOcors was herd at the East India House, which adjourned at six o'clock till Tuesday next. By the Speculator Whaler, which left St. Helena the 16th of March, we learn, . that the ships Earl Admiral Gardner, Charlton, and Calcutta, homeward-bound, were left there ; also the Britan qia.antl -Georgiana outward.

WEST INDIA CONPOY. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM AN OFFICER OF HIS MAJESTY'S SHIP CARYSFORT, DATED OFF OPOR TO, APRIL 2, 1804. " His Majesty's Ships, Apollo and Csztysfort, sailed from Cork the 26th ult, with a Convoy of 67 Sail for the West Indies, to which destination the former Ship was directed to escort them, arid the latter to a certain latitude. " A gale at wind took place on the night we left Cork, and continued during the ensuing day ; the Convoy was, however, kept snug and colleted, and proceeded with a most promising appearance of a pleasant passage, until the very night of the unfore seen, and utterly unexpeded disaster ; a disaster, whose occurrences can only be ascribed to the set ting of a current to the Eastward, which carried the Convoy into the Longitude of Oporto, when, by their reckoning (taking that of nine in ten of the Ships composing it), they were more than too miles to the Westward thereof ; trusting to which reckon ing, a course was steered by the Apollo (the Com modore), and the majority of the Convoy, calcu lated to clear Cape St. Vincent ; but between one and three this morning, melancholy to relate, the Apollo, and five or six and twenty of the Convoy, went on short. on and near Cape :Vlondego. Whe. ther all the ships are lost, and their Crews have perished, I cannot inform you ; but I trust the Almighty will have rescued from the waves, and restored to their families and friends, the greater part, it not the whole, of the valuable lives, so on expededly, I believe I may say unprecedentediy, shipwrecked. " The Cagsfort having split her main and fore. top.sails about midnight in a most violent squall, and the wind soon after heading her three or four points, wore, in order to get her head offshore, about two o'clock in the morning ; but, observing that the Commodore and body of toe convoy were out of sight, she again stood towards the shore till about six o'clock, when perceiving several scattered Skips under a press of sail, with their heads to the North ward, she again wore o shore, and, about nine o'clock, hailed one of the convoy, which with diffi culty had cleared the land, and reported seeing one or two sail on shore. At eleven o'clock, the Claren don, of Bristol, reported her having seen 26 sail on shore (mostly tiismasted), among which she feared was the Commodore, the last certain sight of whom she had was about three in the morning, then burn ing false fires, blue lights, and firing guns in the di rettion the Ships (at daylight) were seen on shore. She herself very nearly escaped shipwreck, having been actually among the breakers, when she pro videntially wore. The wind still continuing dead on shore, strong apprehensions were entertained that, as it blew very hard, several Ships which escaped in the night must have been driven on shore in the course of the day ; by carrying all possible sail they however held in their course, and, towards evening, the wind most providentially shifted to the North ward, which enabled the Car jsfo rt to coiled 38 sail, wherewith she is now proceeding to their place of destination. " I shall forbear making any comments on this most lamentable event, further than that nothing could exceed the zeal and attention of Captains DIXON and 'fAN , FIA wE, in kesying their Convoy together ;, t•.(1 the promptitude and celerity where. with Capt. .I.: . AN , HAW E col:es - led the scattered ships which were saved, and proceeded with them towards the places of their destination, merits un qualified approbation ; and will, I. am persuaded, receive from the Owners and Underwriters, their most cor dial and justly due thanks." [The names of the 38 Vessels saved, were givtn 1 in our Paper of yeszeolsy]. The Es,:oop of War arrived at Elsineor fro n Lond /11 t, e zoth of Ai3ril, but z,onlc of ti,:r %vete still wanting. PROM THE PARIS PAPERS. PARIS, Ap.txt TH s Gems d' Armes have arrested, in the Depart meta of Eure and Loire, and carried before the Grand Judge, a man named LOUIS DUCORPS, alias DAVNY, alias DUVAL, described under No. 11. among the gang of the accomplice; of GEORGES and others. This man made his essays of robbery in the ser vice of MALLET, alias CRECY, alias the Great AL. CANDRE, a relation of Mr. WicxxAm, who, four years ago, with a Brevet of Lieurenanc-General for the King, carried on the war on the highways, be tween Rouen, Evreux, and Neufchatel. Louts Du- CORPS lived at Aumale, where he served for a guide to the Brigands, was occupied in purchasing horses, arms, uniforms, and took care of the communication in a line with the Coast. On the news of the arrest of GEORG-IS, Lot:ls DUCORPs escape.d from Anmale, with four other Brigands. from Morbihan, who were also stationed there and waiting for orders. He quitted his com. pahions in the Department of the Eure, three of whom have been arrested near Fougeres. Thus the bare publication of the names and de scription of the Brigands has sufficed to procure their arrest in less than two months. Every where the public have answered to the ap. peal made to them; and the Police had only to fol low the indications given by the mass of citizens, to c.,eize, at different places, more than 43 miscre ants provided with gold, arms, and with every means that could be obtained by a long habit of rob bery. The Police also continues to colleft information, concerning those who have let lodgings to them. An investigation made in a house where VrcToß Coucut Rl' was secreted, - has procured the disco. very of the Correspondence of COUCHERY the el der, a libeller at London, with one joucLEßc. This very voluminous Correspondence proves that he has several times received money of COUCHERY the elder, particularly on the arrival of PICHEGRU. There has also been found about him some blank paper, with a vignette representing GEORGE M.: also a vial of muriatic acid for the Secret Corre spundence, and for washing the Passports. This man, who, with a deal of ingenuity, prepared seve ral lodgings, concealed himself immediately on the arrest of COUCHERY. The Police is in quest of him.--(l✓lonireur.) AUSBURG, APRIL 6.—The evening before last, Mr. DRARt, the English Minister at Munich, ar rived here, and immediately continued his journey. It is thought he will go to Hamburgh, and embark from thence for England, He quitted Munich on the night of the Ist inst. Before his departure, he had a long interview with M. de MONTCZLAS, the Prime Minister. The Munich Gazette of the 4.th it -want, contains the following article :—" The Editor of the Barn, berg Gazette, having inserted in his paper of March 2;, a very reprehensible paragraph against the French Government, he has, by an F,leaoral rescript, dated Munich, April r, been sentencel not only to imprisonment for six days, and a fine proportionate to his ability, but is also deprived of his privilege." The same Gazette also announces for sale, " The t;tcret rnstruttiztsaiA Letters from Mr. DRAKE to the English Agents at Paris, with the Report of the Grand Judge to the FIRST CONSUL."—(MOniteUf.) ZURICH, APRIL 6.—The tranquillity of our Canton has been interrupted ; the peasantry of several others have revolted ; their discontent is occasioned by several laws on the subject of finance, which had been passed in Council. Every Canton in the Confederacy has furnished a company, which is come to the assistance of our Canton to restore order. An engagement lately took place, in which we had 12 or 15 men killed and wounded. There are English at Memmingen, Neufchatel, and Constance, who stir up revolt. SPENCER SMITH appears to dire& all these disturbances from Stutgard. He supplies the money necessary.--(Mo n;teur.) ST. AUEIN, (CANTON OF NEUFCHATEL), APRIL 7. --We have here an English Officer who stirs about a great deal. He appears to be no stranger to the trouble:, at Zurich. There is also here one PILLICHODI, cvho has fre quent interviews with an Englishman at the Castle of Gothendart. He receives many letters, and cot. responds with the house of ROUGENIONT. The English absolutely wish to overthrow Switz erland. Enemies of the repose of France, they are also the foes of that of all neighbouring States. If they can excite agitation, they care not about the means. At one time they want to unite with a Ja cobin Committee in France ; at another time, with the incorrigible remains of the Swiss Olygatchists. So also they strive at Naples to produce confusion. Of this we have ample proofs.—(Moniteur.) By an Account on the Table of the House of Corosnans, it appears that the total amount of the temporary and permanent Duties of Ex?ise, in Eng land, outstanding on Bond or otherwise, on the sth of January, 1803, was 3,291,7731. 95. 4.0. and on the sth of Jan. r 804., amounted to 6,309,24.81. ss. 31d. C.. The quantity of wine imported from Portugal during the last year, was 27,682 tons, 3 hogsheads, and s 4. gallons. From the accounts laid before the House of Com mons, it appears that the quantity of Wine import ed and remaining under bond the sth of January last, was 12,782 tons. The amount of the Duties upon the export of British Linens from Great Britain, for the half year ending the sth of January 1803, was 74031. 191. 3d.; and for the whole year ending the stn of January 1804., 23,475 1 . Ss• By returns made to the House of Commons, it ap pears that the quantity of Raw Sugar in - lotted in the year 1803, was 3,164.,130 cwt. of which 1,680,269 cwt. was exported in a raw and refined State, making the consumption of this Country amount to 1,4.83,960 cwt. the whole paying a . duty of 3.133.3* , 2!. 35. The Srwift Cutter arrived at Elsinetir ttte 18th of April, having brought a fleet of so or 6o sail ft .'m Newcastle, but very few Of the Convoy hid arrived there on the 21st ; they were supposed to be all detained in the Catter t by contrary wii,l4.

General Molt EAU has now 3 nightly guard in his prison. It is said, that the FIRST CONSUL. will shortly go to Boulogne froft' St. Cloud. The report that a battle had taken plac e there, is hitherto enfounded. AMSTERDAM, APRIL 7l.—Private Letters from Paris contain the following statement " It is asserted that a Deputation of the Couoc tl of State will shortly present to the Senate the ne!" Cons:ilium, relative to an hereditary succession to the family of the Frits-r. CONSUL. The nation d•'-'" sires that solid systetn to be introduced for the pub' lic good, and this desire has already been elain l Y expressed Ly several Departments. The fad i) ,, t ue will thereby be deprived of every hope. It iS °Au' that on the nomination of the. Emperor of the Gaulsr or of the French, the Nephew of the FIRST C 0 "... sub, NAPOLEON, the young son of Louts PAR E, will be provisionell7 appointed iris BONA, .Stg."; sor, provided the FIRST CONSUL remains wit hmi issue ; and that JOSEPH BONAPARTE shall be e vel ' - - tually appointed guardian to young N A eor.,F ol4 l It is added, that the Commandcries of the Leg ion° ; Honour and other Officers, will be declared heteu :; tary ; that the Legislative li)dy and the Tribe a ' s will he united into one, and that their Meal her will be divided into three Classes, viz. of pro prietors, Literati, and Cc'nmercial Men ; t h i , functions to be prolonged ten years. Thus ay' is certain, that the National wish is directed t° an t Hereditary Consolidation of the Gaut-rot-tient of tb ,;, great man, to whom France and the quiet o t " world are so greatly indebted, and we arc now to await the Official publication of the details." ANTWERP, APRIL 20.—We are assured that Admiral TRUCU ET, who has been sent to Brest, t'a, a it in charge, on the first favourable opportuniiY, t sail for Boulogne, with the Brest Fleet, whic h b3 ,l ' got 25,000 land Troops on board, to jlin the Flotilla of Admiral BRUI X.
