THE SUN.' QUIT nictltA FALSUM AUDIAT 4 LONDON, TU4tSDAY, SEPTEMBER, 18, 1804. Autlentic accounts from Spain state, that a very serious revidt has . taken place in that Country.— Seveial of the Provinces are in a total state of Insurrraion ; and such is the state of affairs, that there can be little doubt that it will furnish BONAI'AR TB with a pretext for taking that Country under his immediate prate Lion. Thai such 'will be the result is to be expected from the condua and charaiter of the Corsican Usurper. He will probably soon gni the means of forcing that Country, now that he has pillaged it of all its money, .to fit - out the remnant of its Navy ,to ad against us 'in the same manner as that of Holland. This new plan of operations, with the .pillage of Holstein and Poine. rania, will . afford him excellent pretexts for putting off the Itivasion of this Country, Nothing new has occurred on the French Coast, except a slight skirmish between our Cruizers and a detachment of Gun.brigs that were skulking along shore from the Eastward, and which have taken re. fug° in Dunkirk, where our Sgi►adron are watching them. Most of the French Brigs and Loggers are gone into Boulogne. Wit . yesterday stated that we had received the French Papers to the gth inst. but from the late, hour at which they. arrived, we could only give the pubstance of their contents. We have this day ex tratled in detail the principal articles which they Cont3in. Dutch Paler: to the t 3th reached Town last night. A report was circulated in Holland that the French meant to charge the system of their policy, and to admit the unfortunate Inhabitants of that Country to some share in its Government ; and a Gentleman, who landed at Harwich on Fri. day last from flolland,• states, that the French Troops in Garrison at the Hague arid other places, had sud,knly received orders to march to the French Fronticis.- T —That the Fren.ch have any. serious in_ vntion of abandoning their power in Holland, we believe there are few people weak enough to suppose t but ttlere may exist reasons why the French ,at the present moment should wish to give to the Dutch at least the apparancr of an Independent • People. • We,have received several,Letters from , Holland, which almost all concur in reprenting the Dutch as - so broken in spirit, by the tyranny of their French Oppressors, .and so exhausted by perpetual exaelions, that they, absolutely wish to get rid of their nominal independence as a people, and toiuve their Country formed into,a Department of France,. in the hope that: when they are •admiqed to the rights, or at I.!ast to the name, of French Men, they may ,sulfer•comewhat less,under Corsican proteCtion. If there really exists an intention ofercaing Hoc land into a 'Department . nf :Frante, It .risay account for the reports a4Ove mentioned, because 13oNis 7 CARTR would doubtless wish to represent it as the oninßoenced rute.at and spontaneous a( of- the Dutch PeOple: WE this nprhing received the Pars Paters to the toth inst. extracts from which will be found in a subbequent Column. Jost as our E'at'er was rutting to Pr e ss, we receiv. red ft►rther Paris . Papers' to the . t tth inst. , by which we learn tint the bet of the K►NG of PAC/391A hhavi►lg acknowledged the new title of the Emr Eitolt pf GERMANT is carigan& On the tst inst. new Credentials were 'sent to the Prussian Ambassador at Vienna. BONAPAWTE arrived, al we stated ye:aerday, at Aix.la.Chapelle on the 23 inst. A splendid triumphal arch was re4ted, under which he passed : on it were instribeti the names of CH ARGEMAGNZ and of'N.nro. [,ICON. TALLEYKAND, the Marquisses of I...imA and SUZA, Ambassadors from Portngal; count Cp. ENTZEL, cite Austrian Minister, and the Kirquis DDa,GAL.t.o, the Sicilian IV,linisrer, had arrived in that city. BoNAl , Aartt was expteted at Mentz about the gal inst.; but it was supposed that he h a d changed the original plan of . his journey, and that be would return to the Cc) from Mentz, p446:14 1 *I through "1 reves, Luxemburgh, and Namur. . A long fabricated Letter ) dated from Constanti. !aril respeaing the situatidn of the Turkish Em. Aire, and more particularly relative to the Pro. vincela of Moldavia and Wallachia, with the obviotis view of exciting suspicions with respea to the cOndua of Russia. The perseverance of the French Government on this subjel, proves the im. portance they 'attach to it, as almoit every !Mill teur contains a v . asritty of pretended Letters from Constantinople, Corfu, &c. attacking the condua of Russia. New Batteries have been construsled. at Genoa, in consequence of the continual apprehension at that place of an attack from the English. The French are stated to have seized a vast quan. tity of English Merchandize on its road from Brunswick. The following Captures are ,said to have been made by French Privateers : the Brig Tartar,• the Eagle Schooner, and the Grorge, A/PLEvu, of Liverpool. The Funds are 56. 85. By private Letters welearn, that the Mails car. tied by the Prussian Vessel Orion, Capt. ZUYDIia. DwvN, from . London, were stopped at Maasluys, and sent tcaZeist by the French. Barracks are building for the French Camp at Zeist, at that place. The French whooccupy the Battery at Maasluys, had orders yesterday se'nnight to leave it as yester day. This was the Battery which has hitherto in. terrupted the Dutch trade with England, and has stopped the Mails. It is confidently said, that the Corsican Usurpeeti Answer to the Ultimatum of the Eeteettott of RUSSIA has been published, and that 'copies of it have been circulated tin the Continent. In this Answer, the Usurper is. said to declare that no Power on earth shall didare to 'France.—He asks, why the EMPEROR of Russia does nut declare War .at 'once, if such be his inclina.' tions, without resorting to the covert expedient of demanding satisfaCtion for the violation of a Neutral Territory in the seizure and pretended murder of the Duke D'ENcH ser The Usurper endeavours to jucify his conduct in this respelt, and impudently contends, that the EMPEROR of RUSSIA would have tided in the same manner if he had been placed in the same situation. Finally, he observes, that a Monarch who seemed to he so deeply affeited by the events alluded to, would, no doubt, have inflicted exemplary punishment on the Murderers of his Father, if he had an opportunity of bringing them to justice. We cannot vouch for the truth of this statement, but it seems to he perfectly analogous with the . charafter and conduit of the haughty Despot of France. It would be curious, indeed, but not inconsistent with the whole con. duet of the Usurper, that, while he endeavours to ditlate to every State on earth, he should insolently declare that none shall dictate to France. As to one of the alledged points of the Russian Ultimatum, the seiztiie and murder of the 'unfortunate branch of the 800 it HON Family, it is a legitimate ground of complaint on the part of the Elm? eaott of Rusita, an d o ught to be enforced by every Continental Power. Nothing can be mote insolent, false, and unjust, than the Umrper'l declaration, that the Russimi EMPEROR, a just and magnanimous Sovereign, in similar circumstances would have done the same. As to the impudent allusi.n to the death of the Emperor PAUL., it is a subjed.of two deli. care a nature for discussion in this place ; but it is obviously a subject in which the arrogant Tyrant of France has nu right to interfere. A Morning Paper, in commenting upon the gence from the Fiend) Journals, which we yesterday were enabled, exclusively, to lay before our Readers, seems to entertain some doubts of the accuracy of our statement, from the circumstance that the whole of it is not to b. found in the Moniteur, ; we did not say it was ; the principal part of the intelligence we took from the Publitirte of the 7th, particularly the let. ter from Genoa, which mentions the fad of the em. batgo having been taken off the Russian and Swe. dish ships at Leghorn. We stated distinctly yes. terday, that a ,part of that Letter (viz. the first and last paragraphs do was copied into . the Mon;. tem• of the Bth, but that the part relating to the em bargo fwd.( omitted. Yesterday 'waning Lord Met.v eel came to Town from Wimbledon, • and gave audience to se. vcra-1 Officers. The Portuguese Ambassador had also a long interview with his Lordship. Dispataies were yesterday ieceived from Admiral COCHRANE. off Ferrol, and from Admiral CORN. WALLA:I, offßrest. 'At the date of the . Dispatches, • the Enemy remained in the same situation as they did at the date of the former Dispatches. Sir Hosts ropHA)4, had yesterday a l ong an . djence of the Board of Admitialty. We understand that Letters have been received at Copenhagen, froro the Isle of .France, which 'state, that Lt 'rots was upon very bad terms with the Go. verrmr ; that he had relinquished the command of the French squadron; and that it was Intended to send the Marengo to Europe under the command of another CaPtain., She was to have sailed from that. Island . about thC begit'ning of last month, for Brest, as it Was given out ; but in 'the present posture of the War, we arc not so sanguine a's to exped that she will attempt :. to reach that Port. . The arrival of the. Leeward Island Fleet and the Tsar. from Thtnerara, has put the greatest part of the British FL:reign commerce out of the risk of any danger front the rapacity or predatorial enterprise of the litecch Navy.

JAMES WALLis i in three days from Ferrol, on board which Ship the British Ambassador at the Spanish Court came Pas. senger, having come over-land' from Madrid to Fer. rol, where he immediately embarked on board the Naiad ; from which circumstance there is the best reason to, suppose that Hostilities are on the eve of commencing with that Country. 'His Excellency was saluted from the . Naiad, as soon as the boat put off from that Ship, which proceeded up Hamoaze, and landed under Government-House. • Arrived the Heart of Oak, Capt.. flAccaow, from Cheptow, with timber, for the Dock-yard ; and f:/yiq Fish, hired Armed Schooner, float a Cruize.

We still have the two French Frigates in Pot t to annoy our sight with the tti.coloured Flag. The Leander and Cambriat are watching their motions at the Hook, and will give a good account of them if they should venture out. The &stun Frigate, Capt.
