Frani the:FREIVCII and 'DUTCH PAPERS►. PARIS, JUNE • 14.—The Venetian Deputation, whose journey through Turin and' Lyons we already announced, has arrived -at Paris.' It consists of 14 persons, representing the Continental Provinces of the antient Republic, and the City of Venice. At the head of it is PISANI, formerly Procuratorof St. Marc, who was Venetian Ambassador in France be fore the Revolution. The Princess of Lucca and Plomattio is happily delivered of a daughter.

INFERNET, who com manded the Intrepid, in the battle of Trafalgar, has arrived here ; he was waited upon by all the Naval Officers in compliment to his bravery. M.

On Wednesday the French attacked Cis'itella del Fronto, a post occupied by the troops of the former King, under the command of an Irish Officer.— The town was carried by assault. The French troops prepared to undermine the fort, for the pur pose of blowing it tip, but fortunately the effusion of blood has been saved. The Garrison, composed of 200 men, surrendered at discretion. The fort is not considerable, but the position is very corn- mantling. - MILAN, Jim 2.—The Second Lieutenant of the Artillery of the Italian Marine has written to the Mi nister of War and Marine that on the S tn of May, with his division, consisting of the Xebeck Renrici, and three Gun-boats, he engaged, in the Strait of Bassa, * Russian Squadron, stationed there to intercept any provisions destined for the Island of Lessina, which was blockaded. Tile Enemy's division consisted of a Brig and three ether Vessels, well armed. At ten in the morning he began the attack. The Enemy seemed to despise his inferior force, butwhen they appeared in line at a short distance, he gave or ders to.his little Squadron to open their fire, which was so successfully executed, that, after a warm ac tion of two hours, the Russian Vessels were obliged to make off. They would have even fallen into our possession if the calm had not been followed by a breeze from the North, which proved favourable to them; and by taking advantage of it, with the help of their sails and oars, and assisted by towing, they got under the prote6tion of a Russian 74-gun Ship, which was blockading the Island. M. STALtbstm pursued them almost within reach of her gtins ; then tacked about and steered for Milna, where he concluded the Italian convoy -of guns, ammunition, provisions, and troops, under' his protedion, with which, at five o'clock the same evening, he anchored at the Island of Lessina. The Enemy was afraid to appear in the Bassa Channel to oppose the passage of the Ti =sports. The Officers, Soldiers, and Sailors, did their duty; and the Serjeant of the Marine Artillery particularly diitinguished himself on this occasion. PARIS, !UNE 12. HIS EXCELLENCY THE MINISTER OP THE MARINE AND THE 'COLONIES HAS SENT THE FOLLOWING REPORT TO HIS MAJESTY " SIRE, " Captain L'ElEmarrrE, Commandant of one of the Nai'al - Divisions which sailed last winter, has sent home the Brig Slovenian; with Dispatches, which I have the honour to lay before your Ma jesty. " On the 33 of April the Division had taken 21 English Vessels upon the Coast of Africa, amount ing to 5976 tons. 'They carried upon the whole 229 pieces of cannon, carronades, howitzers, &c. Their crews, &c. amounting to 519 men, have been made prisoners. One thousand one hundred and thirty-four Negroes have also been captured in these Vessels ; and among these prizes, four that were laden with, dry goods have been sold for ti 69,000 francs. " Three out of the seventeen prizes that remain have been armed, and now make a part of our Divi sion, viz. : the Favourite, of 1.8 guns, six-pounders, and i 1 carronades of twelve ; the Otway, of 4 guns, 12-pounders, and 2 carronades of eighteens ; and the Plozvers, of 21 guns, 6-pounders. Five of these prizes have been dispatched as flags of truce. The Trio, one of them, has arrived at Morlaix; two have been sold for the convenience of the Division, and have produced 80,000 piastres; and seven have been sunk, burnt, or destroyed. " Out of, the 1134 Negroes, 92 have been given away or sold, or have deserted, or are dead. " The rest of the Negroes are distributed through - the division, and remained alive on the sth of,April. At tills period Captain L'HERMITTE retained only • 34 out of the 518 prisoners he had made : the re ‘o) mainder of them having been sent away in sags of truce. Twenty-three only have been left on board the prizes ; one only is dead. " This Officer informs me, that he has inspeaed every point of the coast which he has run down with the greatest attention, and that be has occa sioned a very great loss to the English commerce : the Enemy's trade, be says, is ruined for the pre sent -year ; and in the course of the succeeding year, he supposes their loss will be considerable. " The vessels of the division were in very good condition. ...'..- IT ERMITTE speaks very highly of the condul of his Officers and their crews. Since his departure froni L'Orient, he has lost DO more than 15 men, and be had only 14 sick. " The following are the. names of the Prizes : Ship Robert, Capt.

We now know for certain, that 2000 of our troops have entered Cattaro, which had been previously evacuated by the Russians. The place was afterwards surrendered to the French, agreeably to the Treaty of Presburgh. Every thing that has been said in the Foreign Journals of new engagements ferming by Austria, is entirely desti tute of foundation. All the measures and disposi tions of our Court tend to Peace. The only diffi culty wbieh remained, is now removed by the eva cuation of Cattaro. From the Frontiers of Turkey they write, that the chief part of the Servian Army had left the Banks of the Drina, and had laid close siege to Bel grade. They have ereaed. three batteries, from which they greatly annoy the Garrison. The Turks made a sally to destroy one of these, but the attempt failed. To judge from the ardour of the assailants, and the wants of the Garrison, it cannot be expe&ed to hold out long. BRUSSELS, JUNE O.—Last night, between nine and ten o'clock, arrived here Prince Louts, King of Holland : he made his entrance into this City with his family amidst thedisclmrge of the artillery, and the ringing Of all the bells.

A Deputation from their High Mightinesses, and several other Of ficers of State, are preparing to set out to give them the meeting, though we understand they will make some short stay at Delft, and that they mean to be received in form at that place. It is rumoured, that, after. some fcw days residence here, a triumphal En try is intended. The number of Troops in this Residence is by no means so considerable as has. been reported.

BERLIN, JUNE 7.--The English have made de scents upon our Coasts. As may naturally be sup posed, theSe are merely the excursions of a few Patroles: The Weakness of the English Army al 7 lows them to do nothing more : they carried off some cattle, and burnt two or three farm-houses-- a most miserable kind of devastation, but which sufficiently chews the state of war in which the, , English and Prussians are engaged. General BLUCHER has been so negligent as to suf fer this damage to he committed, although he has a considerable force under his command,; 'but he keeps it constantly in the neighbourhood of Cleves and Berg he has re* - ed orders on the subjea from his Government, and it is probable that the English will make no more descents. Meanwhile the communications between Prussia and England continue to exist. M. DE JAcoBI is 'Still at London. Prussia does not wish war—and England makes it : 'situation extraordinary enough. The Baltic still remains free. Prussia has not shut her Ports there against the English, and the lat ter commit no hostilities in that Sea--Illoniteur, June 19. - CONSTANTINOPLE, MAY I c.—The Turkish Go vernment is busily employed in the equipment of from 30 to 40 Ships ; among which are 10 of the Line of different It was first intended to equip only seven.

Yesterday the Parks and Kensington Gardens were very fully and fashionably attended. The projected improvements in Westminster-Hall will be proceeded on during the ensuing vacation. The new Court of King's Bench is to be built on the opposite side of the Hall to the Common Pleas, next the Speaker's Court-yard. This has long been wanted, as the preset); Court is considerablv too, small for the accommodation required. That which is now the Exchequer 43i11 Office is to be Converted' into a room for the accommodation of the Grand Jury, and several adjoining apartments are to be built for the convenience of the Judges' attendants, and the Officers of the Court.

A kett Wheel of a goode ydilite the Sate K ert wheer i f found by any person and returnid bake to the owner reseave a rewarde ec Platte A men." A singular charge was made on Saturday at a Po lice. Of ice, by a Gentleman a fortune against his butler for an assault on his young mistress. It ap peared by the statement of the complainant, that during a temporary absence of himself and his Lady from home his son and daughter were left in the house with the servants. The hutler, under pretence of asking advice of the young Lady respe&ing do mestic affairs, intruded himself into thetlrawing. room, where she was sitting alone, and attempted -improper liberties. The son surprisedhim, and 'at the request of his sister informed his parents. It ap< peared the 'parties bad once met in private from home, though there Was no proof cf it having been intentional on the part of the Lady, or that she had ever deViated from stria rektitude. The affair will undergo a farther investigation. About' four o'clock on Friday morning'the 13th inst. as the Mail CotiCh was passing through great Bakeham-lane, near Egham, the coachman and guard discovered a decently dressed young woman lying in the road, apparently in the agonies of death : they interrogated her respectin g _ her situation, and h ow she came. there, but could' not get any thing intel ligible from her; whereupon they very humanely alarmed .the people at the first house they came to (the Pack-Horse, on •E,gham.Hill), who procured as 'sistance and sent to her relief, but before it arrived she was quite ,dead. It appeared, on examining the body, that one of her legs was broken -and much la cerated,epparently with some sharp instrument ; she was also very much bruised on different parts of the body. From what has since , transpired, it is conjeStur ed she came either from the Isle of Wight, Winches ter, or Southampton. At Farnham she agreed with the driverof Brookman's waggon to ride with him to Lon don, whither it appeared she was going. An Irishman also got into the waggon with her at Farnham, but whether he had before been in her company is not ascertained: however they came, on together through Bagshot ;—soon after they had passed .that place, the waggoner retired . to sleep in the waggon, leag-. ing another man to drive; so that whether the un fortunate woman fell out of the waggon, or how she received the injuries that occasioned herdeath, re mains doubtful. 'The Irishman who accompanied her was taken . into custody by One of the Parish Otcers the same morning, but instead of being L ken before a Magistrate, or lodged in a place of security, he was very imprudently sent to the Worlzhouse, an 'old insecure building, from whence he escaped the <same night, and has not since been heard of, which occasions a strong suspi don of guilt to be :attached to him • more, part icn larly as his breeches, tore and bloody, were found on the Common, at no great distance from where the yowl woman 'lay ; and he went the same morn ing to the house of Edward Welibelove, on .Engle field Common, where he begged an old pair of trowsers, saying his breeches had been torn off. in 'a fray at Ascot Races ! An inquest was held on„ the body of the young woman on Saturday 'evening, when the waggoner as bought up ; but 'he deciaring, that on his• going to sleep he left both the •Irishman and young woman -in the _waggdn, and that he did not afterwards know what became .of - them ; and neither the fellow, nor 'the miin who a&ually drove the waggon at the time, being to be found ; and a surgeon stating that the immediate cause of her death was the bursting of a principal artery, which might be done in a fall, induced the Jury to return a verdia of Accidental Death ! and to lay a fine of 201. on the waggoner for being asleep. Several very suspicious circumstances having since transpired, we under , -stand the business is to undergo a rigid revision. SMITHFIELD MARKET, juNt 23.
