Dispatches have been received from Commodore S. Moon, on board the Centaur, dated the latter end of September. They. were brought by the itik-tster Packet. They contain accounts of se. veral Captures from the Enemy, particularly of two French Privateers, which were parried by the Boats of the Centaur, after a long and spirited contest; the details of which will appear in the Gazdtte of this stvening. We feel great pleasure in being able to state, that there is no *iodation whatever for the report. in the American Papers, of the Centaur, of 74 guns, having been becalmed under one of the Forts of Martinique, and taken lby the Enemy, "for it appears from the Journal of the Leicester Picket, that on the 25th Sept. the Centaur was seen in 'the Offing of Dominica, cowing th e a t m ) , which bad been totally dismasted in the late hurri. canes, to Antigua. The report, therefore, in the polo/ Paper of the 4th Oelober, must be unfound. ed : it may possibly have tak , ,, rise from the loss of the Barge of the Galatea, which was sunk in an 4ttempt to cut out the La& Sloop of War, lately taken frum us, while lying in the Harbour of the Admiral CostsmAws sailed from Torbay on Thursday, to resume his station oft" Brest. Wa are sincerely:happy to find, that almost all the private letters which have lately been received from the Continent concur in representing the Court of Berlin as exceedingly dissatisfied with the re. cent conduct of BONAPARTR, and as having ex. pressed that dissatisfadinn in a more decided ter than could have been expeted frOm a Power t h at has hitherto appeared to ad so much under the influence of France. It is . confidently stated at Hamburgh, that His Prussian Majesty has de. mantled the liberation of Sir GEORGE RuMIOLD ; and that be has Ordered Gen.K,Norit-Esooar (whom lie had dispatched as Ambassador Extraordinary to rati, to congratulate the self.created Emperor, and to assist at the Coronation). not to assume his Pub. tic Charader until further orders. The inntimer. able outrages which BONAPARTE has committed within the last few months against the Rights of Neutral and Independent States, the insulting su. per writy which he has assumed, and endeavoured to exercise over almost every Potentate i n E uro p e , h ave lett them now no alternative but that of unanimous, vigorous resistance, or the most degrading and ab. jr et submission ; for the Usurper is not satisfied with possessing privately' an influence almost despotic over the daerent Courts—their submission must be public, their degradation must be notorious' to all mankind, to gratify the arrogance and malignity of his mind.-- ` liat the ancient Hereditary Sovereigns of Europe will. continue much longer to bow before this ferocious Tyrant, , to bear his insults with pa. tience arid humility, and consent to retain their existence almost at his pleasure, . wha t we cannot believe. The hour, we trust, is not far distant, when the Powers of Europe will cordi ally co-operate to establish their own i n d e p en d en c e , and to free mankind from the tyranny of an upstart Adventurer, The Elirriburgh Paper, of the 9th, contains a Copy of tL.e Note which was presented by the rico:A) Charge d'Apirer previous to his leaving St. PetersbOrgh. it is said not to correspond C3‘• E.tly with the originJl, but we have no doubt that it lb cosred in substance. WI? Yesterday received the Ameiirem Paper, to the ITh ult. Th 4 opinion that a itupture will take pl a ce with Spain seems every day to gain ground in Arrt"tiCit. it was reported at New.liwk on the Bth that the' President of the United States intend. ed immediately to lay an kimbatgo On all Vessels Wound to Spaio, in coosequence of Dispatches re. teived from the. American Ambassador at Madrid. DEom i tsgs, it appv,Ars,.has got the &tall of HO. pArAltTit, and will no doubt in future claim piece: deuce, ab twig an older Emperor, for he was pro. d d i Etiyerqr of Hayti on the istli September, with power to nominate his Successor, PAVE RNMENtr, we understand, received this day a kind tt NLinifoto, issued by the Corsican Em. perur, Which skews that his pride has reached the clitna . 4 of folly and madness. NUL content wi:h spring of blind fury, places " the ENGLISH NATION itself out of the protettion of the Law of Nations." How long will the French suffer this insane Up. start to tyrannize over them, and expose them to the hostility of other States by his injustice and his into. knee ! The whole of his condul, however, is so absurd as well as outrageous, that his career seems to be drawing to an end; and he is likely, by his frantic excesses, to " put himself out of the prate lion" of the People over whom he exercises so degrading a despotism. THE Earl of Kr Lull was on Wednesday last elelred one of the Representatives of the Scotch Peerage in Parliament, in the room of the late Marquis of 'cwt. EDALE ; An event that we antici. pared, as well from resped for the charatier of that Nobleman hinuelf, as for the dignified and judicious Body by whom he has been chosen. JUST as our Paper was putting to Press, we re. eived some Paris Papers to the 4th instant, and Dutch Journals to the sth. It is again repeated, that the Austrian Plenipo tentiary in Sweden has received instrunions to de. part from thence immediately, in consequence of the positive refusal of His Swetstsß M A fs t vry to recognize the ENIPEILOR of GERMANY, as He.. reditery EMPIMOR OPAUSTRIA. We believe this to be entirely a Parisian fabrication. By an Imperial Decree, the importation into Frame of India Nanking is prohibited. THEIR MAJESTIIIS Arid the PRINCIESStS, We understand, will honour Covent-Garden Theatre with their presence next Wednesday evening, fur the first time this season. Yesterday : the Spanish Ambassador transafted btt. siness with Lord HARROWBT, at his Lordship's Office, from nne till three o'clock. After 'His Ex cellency had left, the Office, a Cabinet Council was held there. His Royal Highness the Dux'? of YOR IC arid a party of Military Gentlemen, dined yesterday with General CALVERT, at his house in Grosvenor•place. Mr. TitostpToN, who is appointed Secretary of Legation from His BRITANNIC MAJESTY, under Mr. JACKSON, at Berlin, was to have left town yesterday ; but, in consequence of the arrival of the yivienger from Berlin,, he has iostpotted his journey for a few days. The French Consul at Rotterdam ,has been ar. rested by order of his Government, and sent to Paris in the custody of an escort. His alledged offence, we understand, was the facility which he afforded to the introdunion of British manufadures and produce into the Batavian ports. The Consul, after the manner of his Superiors, hitd, it appears, been in the prattioe of occasion. ally touching " beducoup eargellt" for tittle's of permission for the landing of prohibited British property. Whether he did nor, in a language well understood in all the Ftench Offices, from that of TALLEYRAND down to the lowest Cus. torn. house Spy, come fairly to hook, or whether BONAPARTE he really determined to go to war with the Smuggler: in France and Batavia, we know not, hut the Consul has been forwarded to Paris. This event has cleated considerable aprhension amoit the commercial interest in Holland, as the pri,bable prelude to a total prohibition, of all in. tercourse with this Country. The letters froth Holland do not coincide upon this point. Some of them, which we have seen, state, that the commerce by neutral ships will be allowed until the zBth inst. ; while others express the strongest tears that 'their ports will be immediately shut, The Members of the Chamber of Commerce, at Portsmouth, have, in a manner which entitles them to the ;blob of the nation, at a moment when the thoughtic:isness of an individual may introduce into that Port (the most important of all others, from its bring the general rendezvoui of homeward.hound Fleets), and thence spread itself into the whole kindom, the dreadful malady that now rages at Gibraltar, aided the laudable .caution of the Magi. strates of that Borough, and the praise.worthy ex. ertions of the Principal and other Officros of the Customs having the mote immediate superintend: ance of the gti4rantine Service, offered a reward of tool. for the discovery, appreheosion, end convic. tion of any' PilOt; Boatman, or•other Person, who shall break Quarantine, by landing any person from any Ship liable to that restraint, or shall, bring on shore any Letters, Packets, or other Articles irom such Ships, until regularly disalistods, And it is to be hoped,' that the misery which would naturally result from the introduOion of the malignant Fever in question, will be , a sufficient stimulus to the'Pub. lic Bodies in all other Sea Port Towns, where Ships from Gibraltar tit the-Mediterranean are like. ly to arrive, to adopt measurer' of precaution similar to those at Portsiniitith. it may he interesting to persons connefied with the Cummeice of the Non It, so know, that the winter has set in early and with great severity at Hain. laugh. The Correspondenten ~ 1 the 6th says, that a strong E. wind and•severe cJILI had set in, by which the canals anti smaller sircams were already partly covered %I ith ice. A Connuittee of the most eminent Merchants of Dublin was formed on Monday, to set on foot a Subscription for purchasing for Cdr.

The Letter% from the Leeward Islands, brought by the Leicester Packet, in thirty-three days, re ceived yesterday, are less particular ,about the rumoured effeas of the Hurricane than might have been expened : we are therefore naturally taught to believe, that the CalliMitieS at tributed to it have been much less alarming and destructive than were reported. The .Letters from Grenada come down to the 4th September. They state,• that the hurricane has proved desttudive to the sugar canes, &c. but that, notwithstanding, the crops, on the whole, would not •disappoint the wishes of Planters.
