Froth their appearance it was judged they, were of the Line. We are informed that the real objeca of the voy age of the Cartel, which was lately sent hither froth St. , Domingo by Rear-Admiral LESSEIGUES,_ was to procure from the Officers 9f his Squadron who were captured, and are now Prisoners. of War, their at testation of 'his bravery and 'gallantry in the late adion ; which they one and all refused to comply with, on account of his manifest cowardice. . Accounts also brought .by the Cartel state, poi& lost two Captains, three Lieutenants, and seL . , veral Enseignes de Vaisseau, i n 'the late engagement, and that upwards of Coo. of her crew Were' drowned in attempting to reach the shore.

DAVIE,, arrived in a Cartel from Cape Mount before the Anderson's de parture. An apprehension was also entertained that His Majtnty's Frigate Hele had fallen into the hands of the Enemy. A Gentleman who has, recently escaped froin, son in France, in a Letter to his friend at, Path, says, I passed through Baden, - Wirtemburgh, Hesse- Darmstadt, Frankfort, Hesse,Cassel, and Hanover.

" The Manheim Courant; aid some Other .Papeti. in the North, already teens with false , reports, and seem to rejoice in theapprehension of a new oppor 7 .tbnity , to mislead Europewith hilseandridiculougmis represehtittions of the gigantic power of Russia. They of course would Make it appear that Dalmatia is' in undated with, Russian Troops, and that a very. re= speaable Army is collected hear the Mouths of the Cataro. At St. PeterShurgh, probably:, they would fortn better plans for a Campaign than these. If it were not that,France insisted upon the ftiltiiment of the late Treaty with AuStria, and upon receiving the Mouths of the Cataro froM the hands of Austria, the • Russians would- have been ejected 'ere now, the Montenegrins brought to reason, and tranquillity re stored ; but the Dalmatian Provinces must le deli . vered up to the 1 ,1 ) each by' the Austriatthi and the Frenc~is will not receive them from any other hands. The 'Mouths of ,the Cataro are separated 'from Dal-. matia by the State of' Ragusa ; to the extent of about thirty miles ; so That . the possession of Cat'aro is - quite unconnected with that of Dalniatia. The,, "French are masters of the whole of Dalmatia and Istria, where they have, upwards of thirty thousand men ; the Russians at this inome'nt have no more than three Battalions 'at Cataro, making in' the whole about i 500 men, and • not one soldier be-- yond that number. When General BiAny snrren-, dered the forts to the Russians by .au aa of ba'se trea son, he found the regi h leot of Thorn in the place six teeu hundred strong, and this General delivered the forts up to three hundred Russians who were landed from two 'Frigates. The indignation of some-of the Officers of that regiment was then atth4 highest pitch, and M. GDISILIERi Was so base as to write to these Officers fir the ph pose of allaying their' resentment and reconciling them to the.surrender of the forts. These Officers, reckoning upon the esteem of the' French soldiers, afterwards' published• the Marquis's Letter; adding .the , assertion,,that the pose, above= mentioned were sold by the Marquis and General BRADY. .‘f On the same : day 'that the Marquis wrote the aforesaid Letter to `the-Austrian Officers he wrote another to Gen. ,MoLLITox.. M. GIUSILIEZL, and those Who had given him orders, sold their Master and their'Country in the same' manner as when the secind Coalition was form i ed.—One would think it was time to adopt that kind of condi:Z - 1 'that _would ensure peace, and not continue to seek Jrii motives of eternal discord in contemptible subteifages.—We by no means doubt, •but when these Letters_ come to the knowledge of the Wa; Departinent at Vienna, proper punishthent will be inflicted upon those whs . have been capable , of such perfidious condua."

DE took no measure for repelling the aggressions, of the Montenegrins,, unless they regarded them also'as their Allies. .The Austrian Officers composing the Garrison of the Fort of Cataro protested against the condudt of the Austrian Commandant; tor' giving up thd Fort to the Russians : some'Otlicers were put under ar rest; and demanded 'by-their comrades, for having I 'spoken strongly' against such a determination, and that before the arrival of the MarqUis:D - E Gilt I- MERL '• "When. that Commissary arrived, and saw the • Officers persist in refusing the Foi'ts and defend themselves against every aggression, he gave, orderS, in virtue, .as he said, of superior orders, to giveup• to the , Russians all ri;e, FortS and Territory of the Mouths of the - Cataro.
