THE SUN. SOLE NI QUIS DICEME FALSVM AUDLAT? L O.N D 0-ZT, FRIDAY, OCTOgER 24, 1806. WE had yesterday the good fortune to be enabled to lay before the Public, exclusively, the. gratifying -- - intelligence received, by Government respe6ting the French Squadron can landed by Admiral VILLE4V , We hav9 since - i s eived further information upon the. subjet. The irench Vessels of which e\ , the .B#Llona and ale Bellei4 went in Chace, were the Patriote and Eole,of '74 ganstach ; they succeeded in getting into the Ches4peak, where they are at present blocked up, and from which there is no probability of their ever escaping. .L'impetuezq,of 74 guns, was, as we stated yesterday, driven on shore, and burnt by the Mc/amps, and Admiral V;LLEAVAIEZ'S Ship, the 'Muth-dyad, got into the Flavannah in a most disabled state ; . the castor, of 74 guns, sunk in the storm; and the. Valeureuse Frigate ; - of 44 guns . , has arrived at' Philadelphia. The whole of VILLEAUMEZ'S Squadron, which, our Readers. . . . Will' recolleEt, consisted of five Sail of the Liner after JEROME . BONAPARTE left him, are thus 'ac counted for, The whole . Squadron may be con sidered as completely lost to France. It 'is indeed possible. VILLEAUNiEZ . may, in the Fouctroy ant , escape to Europe ; but the two ' Ships in the Chesapeak are cut off - from all chance of an escape. It also gives us sincere pleasure . to find that all the 'apprehensions which 'we entertain• ed respecting some, of the Ships of Sir ItICHARP STRACHAN'S Squadron are unfounded.. The gallant Admiral himself arrived at Fayal, in the Malta, of r . 86 ganS, and having shifted his Flag to the Triumph, of 74 guns, proceeded to the Chesapeak. ii z. Wg received this rnornino4 Paris Papers to the 14th inst. The following are the principal Articles which they Contain: BRANNAU, SEPT. Qo.—We are assured, that the condemned "li;':n to' death' exectlrion of the sentence depends upon the pleasUre of the Emperor. MENTZ, OCT, 8..-41rehave been astonished to find that a Courier i i vho passed through Wesel, and who was sent by M. KNOBEi,SDORF, should have been confounded with M. KNOBELsDORF self. That MiniSter arrived here from Paris on the 'fitb, and will remain here, for we still hope that a • War will not break out between Prussia and Franee:. PAnis, OCT. 13.—The Troops which are in this City have received orders to march withotit delaY,. to join the Army. All . the Reserve .of the:depart ment of Eure received ordrs to march on the gth. The situation of the public mind at Paris is really remarkable. We expea every day, but Without the slightest uneasiness, to hear of the comthenCe luent of hostilities, and yet the reports of Peace prevail over those of War. Yesterday it . was said that Letters from the Grand Army, of a very recent date, stated, that the Hostile Armies were in sight of each other; but that the KING of haussiA: had sent one of his Officers with a Letter t& the French Head-quarters, addressed to the Eniperor.— It is added, that the Prussian Officer was very soon sent off with an Answer. . In the night between the Bth and 9th of O&ober, the English made an attempt upon Boulogne, with a new species of Infernal MaChines. If they wished to make a noise they succeeded, for all the Letters agree that there was, a dreadful clatter; but they also state, that no person was killed or wounded : two houses were very much, and several others slightly damaged. WiAITZBURGH, OCT. 4.—lt appears -that - the Grand Army has received anew organization, and . the •eontniaudi are allotted. We are assured- that this immense force, which is the most formidable that France ever colle - ted, will be divided into three Armies, viz. the centre, right, and left wing; that each of those Divisions is to be commanded by two: Marshals of France ; the whole under the orders of the Emperor. The Armies are in presence. of each other, but the Negotiations are going - on. 'Hostilities have not yet coturneuced. Letters from Gotti'd a6sure us, that the Bth of Oetober.u/il4 bathe decisive day. WURTpURGII, 'OCT. - G.—The Head-Inarters of the French Army was yesterday removed' to Barn bergh. His Imperial Majesty set out fbr that place in the night. His. Majest y. the Ling of Aliprtem 7 burgh; and his Serene Highness the Grand Duke, of BAtENOare gone to join leis Imperial Majesty at Bamberg. We tre afraid that the Ki Qf 'VAI4.I is also gone thither. Tins morning we received New York, Poem kJ: the sth ult. they were brought by the Princess Mary Packet, which arrived at Falmouth in 42 . days from Halifax. The intelligence contained in these Papers, respe4ing the British and French Squadrons, is not of solace 4 date as that which we have received from other quarters. It appears, frotri the followin,s Emma, that some Of. the per sons pk.o by the Spaniards, on board Mp;ANDVS . Schooners, have been executed as pirates : We sincerely sympathize in the affli&ion of the friends of those unhappy ;pep who have lately been executed at Porto cavelio, Let them, however, find: consolation in refleaing, that they have cotne to an: untimely end for no crime. Aauated byaxener - ous' enthusiasm in the cause of persecuted and oppressed, humanity; they embarked with General MIRAVI' ro,l on his noble enterprize of liberating a large portion of their fellow 7 creatures from the most galling ser vitude, civil, political ; , and .religious, which ever weiped down the spirits of human beings. f If the people of the United States were warrant ed in shaking off the yoke of England, how much greater reason have the inhabitants of Spanish Ame 7 r:ica in resuming the blessings of Freedom,.of which they have been deprived. ever since the settlement of that country ? Not ninny years will elayse be 7. fore the names of the ten vidirns who have beeit lately immolated at the shrine of DesF,otisM will ,b 3 as dear to the friends of Liberty. as those of .) , Nru.7 ! Lttim TELL, or GEORGE WASHINGTOpi " It would not be rashness to predid, .that in less than twenty years, perhaps in twelve months, their heroism and their fate will atibrd a pathetic theme for the orators, and a subject for the painters and sculptors,of the Caraccas." Tics Writs for the New Parliament, we under stand, will certainly he iosucci this night. On Tuesday Lord GLEN-MLLE and Mr. WI3D HAM transacted business with the Duke of Youic, for - a considerable time,' at his Office' in the Horse Guards. • :• Yesterday Earl ROSSLYN and Mr.- transaeled business with Viscount HoWzck, at,,is Office. The Marquis of WELLESLEY had an interview with 'Lord GREIOILLE yesterday, at his-house in Downing-street. Brigadier-General DICKER arrived otilVednesday morning at his residence in Bury-street, St. James's, froM ifamburgh ; and yesterday morning he accom panied his Royal Highness the Duke of CAMBRIDGE Ir.b. A letter from Barhadoes, of the i th'ult. states, that some incendiaries endeavonred to set fire to that town on the night- of the 9th of that month, and 'had a6tually set fire to a Public Office; it was for . tunately discovered, and extinguished before it had proceeded far. A reward of 5001. was offered by the President of the Council, as present Governor, for the dete6tion of the perpetrators ; but without effeEt. The letter - adds , , that the French Fleet on' the coast of America are to be joined there in a cer tain latitude by. Admiral ALLEMAkT, with six Sail more from Toulon, which he left on the 20th of June last. After the hurricane 'months are over, they are expeeled in the West Indies again.
