lateot foreign news.—To a gentleman pssseuget
in tfie ship Thomas, Irom Si. Michael, we *re in
debted tor the loan ol the London Courier of the
l6lb, 17 th and lStn of November, taur days the
latest. The official account of the destruction of
the Toalon fleet had not reached London, bat was
hourly looked for. Ev. Pott.
London, Noverber 16.
We rereived this morning some more Hantbuigh
papers, from which we extract the treaty of peace
between Sweden and Russia.
The substance of the article relative to this coun
try has been known fer some time. The polls of
Sweden are to he shut against us, but s ilt nnd colo
nial produce may he imported. The king of Swe
den promises to adhere to the continental system
with such tnodifrcalions as shall he more particu
larly stipulated in the negotiation about to be en
tered into between Sweden, France andaDcnmark.
November 1 7.
It seems to be expected by Buonaparte that A
nterira will he drawn within the vortex of his poli
cy against this country, or as it is called the conti
nental system, the system Lv which the continent
is to be ruined, in the hopes tout the British umpire
may be mined also. Gen. Armstronr., who was to
have left France in the beginning of OitnU-r, t ut
who remains sliiiat Fat is, is sui.l to have hern a
nrong the first to carrv to Fontainblcau the homage
of bis congratulations at the su- re-ftol issue of th«
contest against Austria—The General was most !h
voural.lv teceived—he was honoured with a private
conferi nre, and a vessel was immediately ordered
fcU K»>k IVO'M I" * > ..IVUH
government—Ht *oif5»* it is said lii.it thu r.roili
government has present'd gen. Armstrong wiib the
projtt of a treiity between ilie tv. n countries—by o
otheift it is ussserted, that the invitation made to
.Asi'iiea is, to form on alliance with Iranre, Rus
sia, Sweden, and D-ninafk, to be called, if she ac
cede to it, the Quintuple alliance, for the purpose
1 wf atrhieving what Burlap rte styles “ lbs ftee
dom of the seas.” Toe expectation tfc.it she will
accede to it has hern (or some time strongly circu
. lated at Palis, end imbed :t should seem ns it the ne
gotiation between the A mer an vrrument and M.
Champagny had been renewed befoie lluonupsrtfV
return to Paris. Haw ever that may be, Uisctr
tain that the expectation t« which we bave-allnded,
has been held out in public ut urns known to i;i> offi
cial, About a week' apo »« -e!,>te.l a p..e,at,e on
the subject, from a work under the direc tion of the
senator Fr«neoia de N»-#fchtt?m. As the passage
t» now, from recent intelligence received l;om Pa
ris, becoiue.of the more interest, we republish it.
‘ “ In fact, the peace with Russia is but the happy
prelude to that which is ah^mt tn all the Nor
thern flegs, like a fasces, fgainst that (lug which
pretends to keep them all in a stale of annihilation.
It i* beyond a doubt that Sweden will treat with
Denmark, with Prussia, and obtain from France
oblivion of the past. Os their side, the. U. States
approximate as tnorh us possible the powers sf the
K^th, by bringing, *sa first guarantee of thaii a
tnirabie dispositions, the resentment, which has
been produced by the'conduct of England towards
them. Their ambassudotir ts Russia is arrive# gt
Copenhagen. The American# do more—they here
rejected the Eaglish minister, Mr. Jackson.
11 Every thing then induces us te believe, that
%y supporting nobly tbe contest in which they are
engaged by honour and well understood interest, the
Ameiicans will not lose sight of fh^memorable
words addressed to them by bis nutje^ tbe euipe
.rear ol'tbe French, through tbs uicuiaia uf his r»i

The kinj of Saxony is gone lo Paris in company
with the French minister. The duke of Baden,
2nd general other of Buonaparte’s German vassals,
are on their way thither to hold a grand meeting,
at which some important measure* respecting G<-r
many will be discussed, or rather dictated by Buo
naparte. We conjecture that he will change his ti
tle of Protector of the Coniederncy of the Rhine,
as not sufficiently expressive of his power over the
German empire. We remark in the French papers
pm article Irom Vienna stating that the Archives oi
the empire, and particularly the acts which trra'
of the ceremonies observed in crowning the errrpe
rmirs af Germany, are to he removed in Paris—It
is probable that Buonaparte means to have himselt
elected rmpernur of Germany. Among the pul lir
shews and spectacles thi.t are to occupy the atten
tion of the Perm -ms during the winter, there is to
he a council of Gardm/ils, probably to rebuke and
depose the Pope. All conversation concerning him
lias heel) prohibited at Paris, and it is even made a
punishable offence to sell his pit ture,
November 18.
Upon that event of which our readers must he
most anxious for the official continuation, we have
some further information to add, though no drs
patches are yet arrived from the Mediterranean,
nor have any foreign papers been received contain
ing any additional arcounts. A letter from Amster
dam was received yesterday, n> tl.e.Q'.b, mentioning
in general words, that “a Naval Cattle has been
fought—wa he.ve not heerd the particulars." Olhei
letters from Holland mention the intelligence, but
oiilv iii a general wav. A gentleman however ar
rived yesterday who left Rotterdam on the JOlb in
*» v vii >. nuiflhntitisi • uc
says—
“ I list a few day* previous to bis departure from
Holland, fie had been favoured with the o4tus.il 'oi
a letter from Cette (about five league* from Meet
i.eliier) written by a merchant there to another m
Rotterdam, in which it was observed that the French
fl-*i from Toulon wsre pursued and overtaken by
the l.rilish ; that two of the Fienrh line cl bottle
ship* had run on shore, and were afterwards Igyn:
bv their crew* to avoid be og taken:—that live
ships of the line, three frigates, several praam* and
a very considerable number of transports, bud, it
was supposed, been taken shy that division of the
British fleet which was ett.ii pursuit of them, wiien
a frigate, which bad left the French fleet effected her
f scope to Cette.” Flits arnnint wag, in the I-Iter
uliudvd to, said to he uprtved from the commandant
of thet frigate.
All these statement* give more and more confi
dence to our belief that another brilliant victmy
odv been gained uy our naval arms. ’Flint t..c otii
rul accounts have not bem recaived from lord CoU
lliigwood ;g to i.c accounted for from the ptrvalente
•'* contra v winds fiii within a day or two. it will
he recollected how long ».* were before we received
the official intelligence o( the h»lt!e of th* Nile.
in the mean Iwns it may not os unarceptarde to
recapitulate shortly ti c authorities on wi.-tch the
intelligence rests—The first v.*«. theautboritv of a
gentleman who lelt Rotterdam on trie yth (see the
Caunsr of toe 12th), and wl o »atd, “ that two of
the most respectable house* in that city had re
ceived letters from their correspondents at Paris,
which mention that lord Collmgwood bad inter
cepted a large convoy nf military stores and provi
sions that was proceeding from Tnulsn to Bairs
lnna, the whole of which be had captured. Ot the
shins of war, under whose protection it was, an SO
arid /4 gun ship were driven on shore, where tuey
were burned by their crews to prevent them from
falling into their hands. A frigate was also driven
on shore, which to all .ippe trance must he last.”
The second authority was that of (lie Rotterdam
Conrunt, which published the article from Nis
U'.vfc — ^
" Kismes, October IS.
“ rhe day before yesterday, between ten and ele*
ven uVlock at night, there was felt in tins place a
concussion, t Unwed hy a very loud end sharp re
1 lifts was heard twice, with an interval efa
bout hall an hour between each report. Fbe cause
\'.as at first thought to be an earthquake \ but ns
the sound proceeded Irmn the roast, (tor it was ;>1
ruost a dead calm, and the little wind there was,
came from the South or S« \V.) nod atvtrni
Ircr.ch and i.n 'lis/i had beta tern upon (he
coaat, bcUveen Cette and Aiguesmtrte*, soma perVnns
fiscfibed this phenomenon to t he ax plosion of a
j-r,Ml quantity of gunpowder. This conjecture is
this day coirfiimed by intelligence, that two ves
sals had jjone ashore k-nr Ave*quieres, had been set
<m lire nod blown up at the- time above-mentioned.
11 is remarkable that the explosion should have
t.teo so liistibi ily beaid at,Nismet considering that
it is ten leagues from the coast. Vie are ill anxious
expectation ol tne particulars of this event.”
On the siuie duy on which the Uotierdam Cou
rarit ol the <Jlh was rsce'vel, letter* arrived from
Caen, mentioning the action in general terms. It
will be rce,dlerted that two cartels which sailed
from Morlaix, and returned on the 18th, were re
fused leave to come n-ar the shore, or to land lor re
freshment. It may be that the enemy did not
wish os to obtain information with respect to the
action.
The letter from Cette to a house in Rotterdam,
which we have alluded to in the commencement ol
nor art'.rie, rtkntions a frigate to have got into
Cette aftsr the ai lion. The Nismes article, our
readers will observe, informed us that sever,*1
Fiench and English vessels (the two fleets) hud been
seen between Cette and Aignestnnites.
To the al>|»ve recapitulation, we add the follow
ing article from a German paper. It dote not cer
tainly bring down the intelligence to the date of the
battle ; but it stales two material facts, the sailing
of tiie Touluo fleet and the amount of its force :

A traveller from Toulon has arrived at Lausanne
