LONDON, Nov. *o
Private letters art la d to liave been received from
Paris, which contain very extraordinary reports; a
tnong others it is laid that the agent:, of governmen
inJ-Vsris have lately he! i language of a pacific nature,
and wen the outline of a trtaty of peace has b.-en pri
vately handed about. It is not at a!i improbable that
Bonaparte may have ordered hi» creatures to propa
gate thefe kind of reports, in ordei to amufe the peo
ple of Paris, to put them in good humour before his
coronation, and to confute them for the difappointmen:
which they mud feel on finding that England has nei
ther been conquered by t.’ie arms, not tei rifled by the
menaces of France. The following are the principal
articles of the outline to which we allude; but we bv
no means pledge nurfelves to their authenticity.
l<f. Franre confents to evacuate the kingdoms of
Naples and Etruria, the Papal territoiy, and the Re
publics of Liguria, Helvetia, and Batavia, teoether
with the Eledorate of Hanover, and all places occupi
ed by her on the right Bank of the Rhine.
2d. England confents to reftore all her conqueflsin
the Well-Indies, and to give up Malta to the King of
Sardinia as a part of the indemnities dt (lined this So
vereign.
3d. The remainder of the indemnities to his Sar
dinian M.tjefly are to be taken from the kingdom of
Etruria, round Sienna.
4th. France promifes, in return, to give up to hi*
Etrurian Majefty the dutchies of Parinea and Plai
fancc.
5th. Ruffia is to evacua'e the Seven Ifland*, and all
ether places occupied by her troop- in the Mediter
ranean. The Seven I Hands are in future to be under
the protection of the Ottoman Parte.
«rli. The difference between Spain and England,?.*
well a* rhnfe between Ruffle and Rome, are to be fet
tled in an amicable manner immediately, without the
interference _ol the Congref?, according to i,’,c Jecifion
of the r ipective Mediators.
7th. The difference between Spain and America are
to be fettled by the foie mediation of the Emperor of
the French.
8th. The F.mperor of Germany an 1 Aiiflria, and
the King of Prtiflia, are by all parties acknowledged
as Mediators,
9th. France promifes for the future, during a Peace,
torcfpe.fl the Independence of thefe Kingdoms,States’
and Republics, evacuated by her troops,in confequcnce
of the peace.
12th. As France allows the late Grand Mailer of
Malta, Baron Ilompefch, an annuity of 300,000livres
(. 2,0001.)—England is to ufflgn and p;.y an equal and
annual fum to the prefent Grand M.ifler, whorefign*
his fovereigntv ove r the Ifiund of Malta to the King
of Sardinia, w hofe heirs or defendants are for the fu

The Paris papers announce, with a degree of tri
umph, that the German Prin csare fucci fli'v i ly break
ing off their connexions with th.- Cabinet of London,
and that foon there will be no Britifh Ambufikdois ac
credited at the Court* of Vienna and Berlin.
It appears that the Dutch finances continue in a very
ensbarrafTed fitnation. The Government have been
compelled to anticipate the payment of the property
fax, and have offered a confiderable premium for
prompt contribution*.

from Ramrga*'e, (Rite.l *ehli London papers
(The fun and Mon imt PoiV) of the 17th of
December, froin wbv h ve lay before our
readers the following interefting informati
on.
Lomdos, December 17.
Tt is confidently declared that the Spanini
AmhaTador, the Chevalier D’Anduaga, har re
ceived his paffoorts. and is on the eve of de
parture from th’s country. On the other hand,
it is (aid that ITsExrelle-cy has nor made pre
parations for his immediate return to Spain.
We have little doubt, however, that a w ir be
tween the two countries mufl ahfolutely be the
refult. and, molt probably, that hoflilit* s have
aiftually taken place.—We have nothing to add
to what we have already communicated to
onr readers, refpefting the departure of Mr.
Frtrefrom the court of Madrid ; and they may
be atluicd of receiving t'’e earliefl intelligence
upon a point fo interfiling, not only to th's
country, but to nU Europe.
Two Hamburgh Mails arrived vcflerd.ay.
By thefe w*e have accounts from C.onjlatuina
t>!r, which (late, that the Porte had confented
to acknowledge to fend new Credentials to the
Turkifh AmhafTa lor at Paris. The French
Minifter, not confidering this a.s fnffi lent, had,
it is further dated, a gain determined to quit
Conflnntinople. We mufl remark, however,
that this intelligence is vague and eonfradiiflo
ry, and leaves flil! much room for doubt. The
baggage of the French ' ihafTador had, if ap
pears, been packed up for a fortnight previous
to the 26th of October, on which dav Mub
Brune was to take her departure. The moft
probable funnofitioo, we think, annears to he,
that Gen. Brune has left the Tnrki'h Caniral.
We -re Awry to find that the Yelhnv-Fever
ha« extended to Ragufi, having been carried
thither by a vcffel from Spain.
Their Swedifh M qefties, after experi-ncing
great perils in attempting to fail to Stockholm,
were at length forc«Mo retqm toStralfund. and
it feems doubtful whether ?hev will be able to
reach their Capital I'efore fpring.
We have long aTured our readers that war
with Spain was inevitable. We have now to
(late, that the die is dually raft, and that the
letters of marque and reprifsl, which have for
ft veral’days pad been prepared, will immedi
ately be ifined. The Chevalier D’Anduaga.
the Snanifh AmbafTador at our Court, has re
ceived his pafTports, and pu-pofes fetting out
this day, on his return to Spain, accompanied
by General O’F.irrcM. an oTicer in the Snanifh
fervice.—The grounds of the war will fbortlv
be made known to the nation by Miniftors, and
| if we are corretfly inform-d, a fironeer’ cafe
than that which will be prefented, has rarelv
hern made out on any fimilar orepfion._Fart
| failing vcTrls arc iiTimcdiairiy to b-difpstchcd

ing no Spanifh fhips at pr. Pent in our ports,
excepting thofe under detention by our ernizers'
no order for an embargo will of eonrfe he i.Til
ed.—A veTf 1 ir tuft arrived at Sadgate crcrk.
which failed fr rn Cadiz on the 20th nlf. with
onlv half a rarvo. in eonfequence of ar. intima
tion from the B itifb Confid, that he did not
confider it fafe for Fnglifb veTrlsto remain in
th it port, an orderfor an embargo being Vr„r|y
expected. Six Britifh men of war, of different
defrriptiors, were thrn cruizing oT Cadiz._
The difordcr ir. the town had very much aba
ted owing to a material and favorable change
Yefterdav we received feverd additional fcts
of Parto Journals, to the 5lh infr. a d f.me few
to the 7th, together with t?»e Dutch oarmrs to
the 10th, and two Hamburgh Mails, have aifo
arrived.—By the latter we find that their is no
probability of the difference between France
and the Ottoman Pnrte being aminblv admitt
ed. Though the latter ha« agreed to ft vie B<».
naparte agreeably to his nfurped title, it ftill
refnfes to fend new credentials to it* AmbafTa
dor at Paris ; fo that in fa<ft, ‘lv Pnrte declines
the formal recognition of the TTfurprr as Fmpe
ror of the French. Prune, fhr Ambaffador at
Conftantinonle, has therefore determined on his
departure from that city, and on the ?6th of
October, the date of the toft advices, a part of
his effects (the wholeof tvhir h had for fomelime
been packed up} had arftnallv been fliipped to
France.—In this ft.ate of affairs, it is natural to
conclude, that an expedition aeaint the Ms.
ren will be attempted bv France; in whi-h cafe,
however, the enemy will have noconfend with
the United forces of England and" PufTn. It is
indeed, rumored that a Ruffian military force
has already landed in that con-try, frorn Cor
fu, and in various other direiftfons the Imperial
troops arc alfo fnid to hr in motion 5 hut it
itiufi he obferved, that thrfe movements are
mentioned not in pofitive terms, or as confirm
ed f.wfts.
Orest Britain has recognised the Emperor
Fi incis, in bis new capacity n F. inrrnr of
Auflria ; and the Britifb Ambaftidor at Vien
na, the Hon. Mr. Paget, has accordingly deli
vered bis new credentials to hi* imperial Ma
jefty.
The Pari* papers continue to fpeak in the
moft difgufting terms of adulation and flattery
on the fiibjcA of Bonaparte'# coror -*inn, with
out mentioning any fadt beyond what we have
already publifhed. Private letters from Paris
ft tie, that f> difgufted were the principal inha
bit into on the orrafion, that the greater part
of them withdrew theruft In - entirely from the

and placed it upon his head—it was a diadem of oak
and laurel leaves in go»d.—His Majefty afterwards
took the crown deftined for the Emprefs.and after hav
ing decorated himfclf with it for a moment, he placed
it upon the head of his augufl confort. The firmnefs,
grandeur, and noblenefs of his manner, diew from e

version.
