A.,..;JEAT? L 0 N D 0 N, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, :806. WE have this day made some further. Extracts from the French Papers. Our Readers will perceive, on perusing the article from Frankfort, that a. new plan is in agitation for an exchange of Territories in . Germany ; or; in other words, for destroying the natural attachment and confidence which ought to subsist between Sovereign and Subject, and thereby" placing both more , completely in the power of France. We entertain, however, consi derable donbts whether this plan will be carried into execution, at least as far 'as relates', to Hesse dassel. The arrival of Lord ST. VINCENT with his Squa dron in the Tagus, has given occasion to the Hi-. tors of some of the French Papers to declaim against this Country for violating the 'Neutrality of Portu gal. These Writers were not so tremblingly alive to the rights of Neutral Nations last year, when ,BONAPARTE violated the Neutrality of Prussia.: Nor'have they told their Readers that the British Force was sent to the Tagus in consequence of a positive declaration made by BONAPARTE, that in the event of the'failure of the Negotiations between Great Britain and France, 'he would - invade the Neutral Kingdonyof Portugal. YESTERDAY a Ca4inet.Coiancil was held, to take into consideration the Dispatches received from Lord LAUDERDALE. The Members of the Council who attended were; Lord GRENVILLE, Lord SPENCER' Lord SIDMOUTH, Lord.liowtoK, and Mr. WIND HA A. The Council broke up about half past three o'clock, and very soon after a Messenger was dis patched to Paris. Mr. Fox, though. apparently better immediately aitjr the operation was repeated on Monday'last and the following day, is ilow,we.understand,. in a state t hat has excited greater apprehension among his friends than at any former period of his complaint. 'the reports ore indeed very gloomy, and they who indulged the•most sanguine hopes, seem, at present, to give way to the most desponding feelings.—ln deed, just as this Paper was putting,to Press, there .was a strong rumour that Mr. Fox was no more.; but .we have every reason to believe that it is un founded. On. Sunday evening MEI:: MAJtsTIEs and the PRINCESSES walked on , the Terrace, and appeared in high health and spirits.

SIDDONS, to the regret of all sound theatri cal Critics, took leave of us last week in the Charac ter of Belvidera. As she has often gratified the London Audience by her expisite pertOraanc:e in this charaCter, l eulogtum is needless. 'Dandelion has hala very profitable week. On Wednesday last no - less than .809 persons attended that agreeable place. Mrs: SIODONS, in the even incr., at Broadstairs, with a spirit of huManity worthy of great talents, gave - her powerful. support for the benefit of .the bilirmary of this town, .by Readings from SnAl.si.EAaL: This re fined entertainnient took _ place at ,fir.

The 'Amateur A6tor who lately ap peared in Romeo, and mightl , be thought to have quite satisfied his theatrical aMbition by the ill siN.=; Cess 'which, attended that effort, was the Earl os 7 mond. The. audience was rather too friVicksozne, considering that it was a•tragic, or more properly a sad, repri:sentation, and vented their feelings in laughter and luLlicrouS groans through the Piece:;. and thus the experienced Performers were involved in the ridichle that was intended only to have been directed against rashness and folly.

PAROLE—MESSINA. • Major,General Sir JOHN STUART finds hirnsellincapable of expressing to the Troops the sentiments excited in him by their brave andintrepid conduit in the lateAition of the 4th, ht.which they gained so signal a triumph over a boasting and insolent Enemy. Their distinguished behaviour on this me morable day, will endear theM in the breasts of their grateful Countrymen ; it will ensure to them the applause of their approving Sovereign, and add another immortal wreath to the laurels of the. British Army. • The Light Brigade, under Colonel KEMPT, who led the . attack, and who - charged and broke the Enemy's favourite First Light Corps, displayed a combined instance of gallantry and discipline' of which military records have furnished but few examples. The 78th and Stsf Regiments, which formed the Brigade of General ACLAND, shared the first and severest part of the Aition with the Light Infantry, whom they were ordered to support ; and the gallantry and good conduit of the Briga . diet-General, in. fUlfil ling ,this duty, were most nobly se conded by the brave Regiments under his orders. The Battalion of Grenadiers, and the 27th Regirnent, un der the orders 'of Brigadier-General COLE,. made a firm and intrepid resistance against a superior force ; and the,manceu4 vre of the 27th Regiment, in throwing back a wing to re ceive the Enemy's Cavalry, was the strongest tok61(?: the excellent discipline of that Corps: The 58thand WatteVille's Regiments, which formed the Brigade under the orders of Colonel OSWALD, and which were broug.Ait up as a second line, sustained the advanced co lunms with the greatest spirit-Agl intke.tlrd'ity. The conduit of Lieut. Colonel Ross, i►i throwing the loth Regiment into the wood, on the Enemy's flank, while the latter were attempting to turn our left, was a prompt display of gallantry and judgment, to which the Army was most critically indebted. • The Artillery Was well provided, and most effedually served, under the diredions of Major LEMOINF, the Com mandant of that Corps. From the various public Depart ments of the Army, and especially from Lieutenant- Colonel BUNBUItY. the. Deputy Quarter-Master General, Sir JOHN STUA RT has to acknowledge the Most marked and able as sistance; not only during the continuance of the action itself, but in all the arrangements preparatory to its commencement.
