SOcEII QUTS DICERE FALSUM AUDEAT LONDON, MONDAY' SEPTEMBER 1, :806. The expeaed Messenger from France had not arrived when this Paper was put to Press. Mr. Fay LKNER, who accompanied Mr. ADAIR to Vienna, returned on Saturday last ; but we do not learn' that he has brought any intelligence of importance. DISPATCHES h a v e - been received 'at the Admi ralty from: Sir , ERASMUS GOWER, at . Newfound land,;, th e y Were brought by the Capelin Schooner, Which ;arrived at --- TortsniOuth on Saturday. We understand, that previous to the. sailing of the Capelin, Sir - JoHN' R. - WARREN had arrived , - off Newfoundland in pursuit of the French, Squadron. It is probable that' the gallant Admiral afterwards bent, his course to thetoast of America, as we know that Admiral GUILLEAUMEZ'S Squadron, was off tharlestown'on the 20th of July..- . - Rear-Admiral STIRLING sailed on Saturday froni Plymouth, in 'the Sampson,' 01;64 guns, for the Cape Of Gbod Hope. He took under his con voy. the Sir Stephen Lushington 'and the Earl Spencer Eao Ind ia m en, two Whalcrs,,and four Store ships. The gallant Admiral endeavoured to sail with phis ConvoX on the 20th ult.. but was forced to put back again by 'contrary winds. WE have'received Dutch Papers to the 2gth ult. and a Halizburgh Paper of the 20th ult. the contents of which will be-found in 'a subequent Column. — It appeals that. there was no foundation for the re- port o; an Ai ion having taken place in, the neigh- bourhood , of the Ems or the 'Weser, between the Prussians and the French.' It NV as` indeed very im probable that, in the present dispersed state of the French Army, .BONAPARTE would wantonly attack the; KING of PRUSSIA ; and we, have _seen too much of the disposition of the latter to suppoSe that be would begin the contest. His NusslArr MAJESTY, however, continues his military preparations with the greatest vigour, and very considerable Armies have been formed under the command of Generals BLuECHER and The differences between Prussia and Sweden - are, we have reason to believe, adjusted. As soon. as the KING, of SWEDEN found that His Pitussl‘N MAJESTY shelved a dirposition to resist the e.neroachinents of the French, he offer ed; with that Magnanimity which 'he has uniformly displayed, to .bury in oblivion all grounds of dispute, and to join with him against the common Enemy. Our Readers will find among the extraEts from the foreign Papers; a Letter from M. JACOBSON (Agent of Finances to t hi- Court of Brunswick) to BONAPARTC. We ought, perhaps, to apologize for laying before th . cm a Letter which contains such gross iffipety and blasphemy ; but as it tends to throw a con6derable light upon the new plan which , BotiApARTE leas formed, we thought itour duty to lay it before the Public.

A Lady of twenty-eight years of age, of hitherto unblemished reputation, and who was esteemed by her husband, an elderly Gentleman of . ..considerable forttane, a vir tuous wife anda tenderVother, has eloped with a dashing young - Hibernian, an Officer in the 'Artillery. The husband and wife were on a visit in Berkshire, during the week of the Races, and, on Thursday last, a party was formed for an excursion in the vicinity of Henley upon Thames. The Lady in question was one of the party, which'consisted chiefly of females; and after spending the day in conversation, and being about to return, she was missing, and the party was thrown into great consternatio n . The husband, who Was of another party at the mansion where he and his wifehad taken up theirabode, was soon madeacquaint -ed with the loss of his wife. NO pains were spared .to make inquiries, and it was soon ascertained that a `'chaise had conveyed away th e ' frail fair with her companion. The fugitives were traced, stage after stage, and, not. having taken the necessary precau tion, they were surprised near Hounslow. The Lady was detained,'and restored to her husband ; but the gallant, who it appeared had followed her from, town, fled. The wife is a native of llerkshire. To Render Cucumbers Wholesome.—Slice Cucum bers into a basin of cold.spring water, and it will not , o;n i ly ma k e t h em eat b y f ar more crisp and fine, but 'will also render them much more wholesome, and etietaeally prevent their rising in the stomach.— The water will completely extra& and take away the pernicious juice of the Cucumber, which is the prin cipal cause of their so often disagreeing with the stomach. • _ - • --
