Among some ladies who came over in the last
passage vessel from France, was one dressed in a
green habit, with yellow cuffs and collar, resem

Wade, but who proves to be the wife of Mr.
Blackwell, Napper Tandy's associate. She is a
handsome young English woman, and at firft was
detained, but (he is since released, and has arrived
in London. Her husband was in the French serv

OCTOBER 30.
NAPPER TANDY, ^c.
' The following are the particulars refpefting the
embarkation and arrival of Napper Tandy, and
his three fellow prisoners, Col. Blackwell, Capt.
Montmonea, alias Morris, and George Peters : On
the ift inst. they were conveyed on board the Xen
ophon frigate, at Hamburgh, and immediately set
fail for Cuxhaven, at which place they were de
tained by contrary winds till the 9th, when they
pm to sea ; but the weather continuing extremely
bad, the vessel was not able to make the Nore till
Monday morning last : notice of which being soon
after received at the admiralty by the telegraph,
Mr. Ross, the messenger, accompanied by Edwards,
Dowfett, and Perry, (Bow-street officers) and o
ther affirtants, were sent off express, in two post
coaches and four, to Sheerness, where they arrived
at four o'clock on Tuefday morning, and about
fevea went offin the port admiral's yatch, attend
ed by a fix oared barge for the Nore, and got on
board the Xenophon frigate at eight, when the
prisoners were consigned to their charge.
A party of Capt. Burger's Sheppy yeomanry
attended at the water fide to escort them to Sut
ingbourne. Here they were delivered to a party
of Sir Ed ward Knatchbull's yeomanry, who escort
ed them to Rochester, where they were received
by Lord Darnley's troop of Cobham yeomanry
cavalry, who conducted them into town ; and yes
terday, at a quarter before one, they passed over
Blackfriar's bridge, proceeded up Ludgate hill
and the Old Bailey, and between 1 and 2 o'clock
they arrived at Newgate, and were transferred to
the custody of Mr. Kirby, the keeper, who had
prepared two very commodious rooms for their
reception, in the centre of the prison, over the
chapel. The prisoners conduced themfel.es with
the greater propriety throughout the whole of
decent flDmffi^
Foreign Intelligence.,
LONDON, NOV. t.
T&e last accounts communicated by the Clyde,
are said to state, that fetfen of the French line fail
ed from Brest on the 25th ult, that they left in the
- outer road 39 of the line ; and that on the fame
day alarge fleet went in there under a rtrong
convoy. We know that intelligence was feme
lime before received that the combined enemy,
then nearly equipped at Brest, amounted to 48
fail of the line, and think it highly probable that
the ttrong convoy now alluded to, refers to the
French fquadton from Kochefort, or the Spanish
fquadrbn from Ferrol.
Lord Bridport has o^ Brest 34 fail of the line,
as well and gallantly manned and equipped as any
ships that ever put to sea ; but, though we were
to admit that even with so immense an inferiority
as 34, to possible 54, we yet should come off vic
tor ; it is an experiment we ought not to venture,
whiift so many of our (hips, thirling for conquest,
remain idly in our ports. With the fortunate 4u
periority, of every kind, which we possess, our's
fliould now be bloodless victories. The atchieve
ment of miracles could not augment our fame.—
It is to be hoped we (hall not again trust to mira
cles for our falva'tion !
Baron Jacobi is dated to be on his route from
Berlin to this country, as Ambassador from his
Prussian majesty : Count Degenfeld attends him a
secretary of Legation.
The didinguilhed valour of our troops, mam
fefted upon all occa lions, but particularly in the
late unfortunate expedition to Holland, where
their condulft, like that of our marine, was beyond
all praise, well entitled them to the animated
thanks they have received from their king and
country. This flattering admission of merit is,
unqueffionably, amongst the soldier's most desired,
rewards ; but it singly, would be an ill expression
of public gratitude for the facrifices which have
been made by these gallant fellows.
We feel that no Efficient pecuniary compenfa
fion could be made for the loss of eyes, legs, arms,
or constitution ; and conceive that philanthropy
and policy alike sordid difearding upon his mere
half pay the officer thus circumdanced, only be
cause he is so, and Without contidering that his
whole inheritance was probably expended to pur
chase the situation that occasioned him to be so
mutilated.
The German papers state a report to have pre
vailed at Vienna oh the 16th ult. that a colonel
from the Archduke's army had been sent with dip
patches to Paris, in answer to others received by
His Royal Highness from the French government.
We have much reason to believe that though the
expedition to Holland has proved unfucerfsful,
the Ruffian troops, at lead will not be unemploy
ed.

tinued to receive reinforcements, even subsequent

The Dublin Mail which arrived this morning
brings a report that Marquis Cornwallis has it in
contemplation to retire from the lord lieutenancy
of Ireland. It is a report not countenanced by
any thing we have heard on this fide the water.
The marquis of Bath is mentioned in the Irish pa
pers as his lordship's successor.
The Archduke Joseph was married to a Ruffian
Princess, the 16th, at a country feat of the Emper
or, near Peterfburgh. Prince Charles, of Schwe
rin, was also to be married in, few days to ano
ther daughter of the Emperor.
The day before yesterday Lord Bridport arriv
ed at Torbay. Our fleet saw five ships in the out
er road, which Lord Bridport sent an equal force
to engage, upon which they went into the Inner
Cen. Vdndamme to the Central Administration of
the Department of the Scheldt.
Brad-Quarters, at ritaaar, 16 Nendemaire, 08. 18.
The successes of the army are decilive. The
• ... of the Duke of York is more complete than
it was at Honfchote. The defeat of the Anglo
Ruffians, where he commanded, is irreparable, and
the triumphs of the Republicans are more brilliant
than we could possibly have expected. The ene
my have been beaten ih four engagements, in
which they were either the assailants or were
themselves assailed. They have loft 15,000 men
in the different battles, in killed, wounded and pri
soners, 36 cannons, more than cripple that num
ber of caissons, the sentinels abandoned their posts
within half cannon (hot of their forts.—Such is the
result of a month's campaign, which has been
caowned by a capitulation honorable to the nation,
and to the army. The Duke of York consents to
evacuate the Batavian territory before the 15th
Brumaire, Deg. 6, and to repair at his own ex
pence all the batteries and dikes which have been
damaged to pay also the loss done to the inhabi
tants ; to give up all the prisoners taken from us,
and 8000 of those in England. We might by fa
crificing a few thousand men, take half his army;
but we have no longer a Robespierre to teach us
to facrifice so many men to principles. To guar
antee the execution of this capitulation the Duke
of York has given up four frottages from among
the Lords ofhis army ; the official news appears
to be of the utmost importance. J hasten to in
form you of it by an extraordinary courier. Gen.
Brune had also demanded , the restitution of the
Dutch fleet, but this demand which was made to
fatisfy the obligations of our alliance, was unfuc
cefsful. The restitution is not to take place till
peace. In less than a decade 25,000 men will
make their appearance, fully equipped, to rein
force the army of the Rhine, an event which au,
thorifes us to hope, that in a few months peace,
which the army commands by its victories, will
be at last concluded to the advantage of the re
public, and the happiness of the people.
(Signed) VANDAMME.

The capitulation signed at Alkmaar on the 18th
was celebaated here by thd,frmg of3nnon, illu
minations, and music. The two Chambers of the
Legislative Body, held an extraordinary fitting to
hear the mefiage of the Directory read. General
Vandamme was the bearer of the Duke of York's
ratification, which was signed on the 19th, and
which that General received from the Duke's own
hand, in an audience whic^ he had of him. Yes
terday the capitulation was published, by order of
the Directory, at the corner of every lireet, by a
herald, escorted by some cavalry and several trum
peters. The proclamation was as follows:
"The happy successes of the arms of our Bata
vian and French brethren had already given rea
son to hope, that the Batavian territory would
soon be evacuated by the Englith : these hopes are
ARAU, OCT. 16+
On the ni^ of the 14th, Gen. Maffena arrived
here, and h^ilconference with the French Min
itter. Several circumstances incline us to believe
that the object of the conference was to impose a
contribution on all Helvetia. Petrochel, the Mi
nister, is not probably so much attached to that
measure as Maffena, for the Adjutant Gen. Degi
ovani, set out immediately for Paris. Maflena
appears to fear Suwarrow less than the Archduke
Charles. The enemy is on the other fide of the
Rhine, and occupies Diffentis, Sargent and Theis.
Maffena has frequently wished to draw Suwarrow
into the plains, but the latter has carefully declin
ed it. Lecourbe, it is reported, will return to
take the command of his division. Conde's corps
is feted to have loft 1200 men in the late aftion.
Three hundred of them passed by this place as
prisoners. The cannon of Argovie is to furnifh
1000 men, who are to work at the conftruftion at
the head of the bridge near Wattingen.
HA^UE, OCf. 21.
Gen. Vandamme arrived here this day. The
Directory held- ah extraOTdihary meeting to re
ceive him. The gups and bells immediately an
nounced to the people this happy event. One of
the firft effects of this capitulation has been the
retreat of the greater part of the English fleet from
the Zuyder Zee. Adm. Mitchell has returned to
the Texel with almost his whole squadron. The
representative body decreed this day that the 21st
bfoa. in every year shall be celebrated by a na
,tional fete.
their journey to London, and also when on board
the Xenophon, where in was thought prudent to
confine them in separate births, with a sentinel
placed at the door of each ; but they were howe
ver, supplied with every comfort that the ship
could afford. Napper Tandy, either from drink
ing a quantity of Brandy; or taking some medi
cine just before they failed, slept from Hamburgh
to Crnxhaven, and was for some time very sick
and ill. Had Buonaparte and his ftaff been sent
here by Sir Sidney Smith, they could not have ex
cited more curiosity. Avast concourse of people
was assembled at the landing place,' who attended
the prisoners and their escort to the garrison gates,
where a new concourse was assembled, end so
from Hage to ftag?o the end of the journey, eve
ry body, old and young, male and.female, was
anxions to get a peep at this wonderful man, now
become, from the happy perseverance of minitiers,
a new tone of contention among the powers of
Europe.
Every thing relating to personages of such high
importance must be interelling to the public ; and
therefore we subjoin the following description :
Napper Tandy is a large, big-boned muscular
man, but much broken and emaciated. His hair
is quite white from age, cut close behind into his
neck, and he appears much eneivated. This is
indeed very natural, if it be considered that he is
near 70 years of age, and has j^l fuffered a long
and rigorous confinement, his mind the constant
prey of the most painful suspense. He wore a long
friar's hat, a long (ilk black grey coat, and milita
ry boots, which had a very outre effect.
Blackwell and Morris seem to be about five and
thirty. They are two tall handsome looking men,
wore military dresses and have a very soldier like
appearance.—The former is a man of a very en
terprising genius, about the middle size, appar
ently not more than four or five and twenty, and
has much the look of a foreigner.
Col, Blackwell had the command of the French
troops that landed in the porth of Ireland ; the
commissions he and Moutmonea bear are in the
French army. Napper Tandy was also in that
expedition.—They are all natives of Ireland, to
which country it is Jaid, they will be transmitted
for trial, after undergoing a previous examination
here before the privy council.
now perfectly realifed. The enemy, driven back
into their entrenchments, were in danger of being
driven out of them, by the irretiftable bravery of
our heroes, and nothing remained for them but
death or capitulation ; and they saw themselves
under the necessity of folicitmg a free departure.
Our General placing little value in the increase of
his glory, which he might have ensured by ano
ther victory, but which he torefaw would cause
great bloodshed, generously facrificed bls glory to
the public welfare, and to the lives of his breth
ren in arms, and granted to the enemy a capitula
tion."
