LATE Interesting Foreign News. By the New-GALEN, HINCKLEY, from London.—last date, Sept. 6, 1806.
Appearances on the European Continent.
GERMANY. HAMBURG, AUG. 19. INTELLIGENCE from Berlin, to the 16th instant, is of a warlike nature. A military Council was held yesterday, at which General RUCHTEL, who is to command in Hanover, was present. BONAPARTE it is said, has required the cession by Prussia, of East-Friesland, Embden, &c. to be incorporated with the Kingdom of Holland; which its Prussian Majesty is determined to refuse and resist.
The whole Prussian army is said to be in motion; the Generals on furlough recalled, and their commands assigned them.
AUG. 22. The Prince of Hohenlohe has received orders to repair immediately to the army collecting on the frontiers of Saxony. The Duke of Brunswick or Prince of Orange Pals, will, it is said, have the command of the Prussian army of reserve.
The great Prussian army will be commanded by General RUCHTEL, who arrived at Hanover on the 19th, at night, and fixed his head quarters in the palace of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge. General BLUCHER, who commands the Prussian corps stationed from Riga as far as Peckelsburg, will for some time leave the Prussian army in Westphalia, on a visit to the King. His corps has been reinforced by the garrison of Osnaburg. General KLEIST, the Governor of Magdeburg, has received orders to quit the baths at Toplitz in Bohemia, and repair to the fortress, whose fortifications receive considerable additions; at which near five thousand peasants are now working from day break until dark.
The fortifications of Nienburg are likewise augmented and all the strong places in Hanover and Brandenburg receive provisions sufficient to hold out a siege.
AUG. 26. Private accounts received here from Berlin, state that the assembling of the French troops on the frontiers of Saxony, has excited much alarm in that capital; they are supposed to entertain designs against Magdeburg, but that place is well garrisoned, and supplied with provisions for 8 months. On the
16th the French were so close to the Prussian frontiers that orders had been issued to pull down part of the suburbs, of the fortress of Magdeburg; in Silesia the whole army had been ordered to hold itself in readiness to march.
The fortress of Hameln has also been supplied with provisions for 8 months.
BREMEN, AUG. 22. The numerous political reports in circulation here, about the misunderstanding between the Cabinet of Berlin, and BONAPARTE, have been for some time so extremely contradicted, that it was impossible to give any certain information on the subject. However, it is now clearly seen that the King of Prussia will neither give up East Friesland nor Hanover without resistance, notwithstanding the threatening movements of the French armies in Bavaria, and Württemberg and even the liberal promise of indemnification in Saxony. That he has assembled a great force on the banks of the Elbe to resist any attempts on East Friesland, is certain, as numerous trains of artillery and ammunition have been for some time passing through Quackenbrück. The regiment of Grenadiers, and some squadrons of hussars, which have been cantoned at Bremerheide and Cuxhaven, have passed through this city last Tuesday morning, upon their march to join the main army at Hanover; and the money in the Bank at Embden was escorted through this city yesterday morning, in 12 waggons, by an officer and thirty dragoons, who were making all possible haste to Berlin. The circuitous route which they took through Verden plainly shows they considered the direct road to be dangerous, as the French are certainly in Vlotho, which is only about five miles from Minden.
The garrisons of Hameln and Nienburg are ordered to be put in the most formidable state of defence, and the provisioning of them is carrying on with unceasing activity. A great quantity of rice was sent from here a few days ago, in waggons, to both places, in case the French should be able to penetrate through Minden, and cut off the navigation of the Weser.
BAYREUTH, AUG. 9. Goritz and Gradisca, in Austria Friuli, have been taken possession of by French troops, in the name of the King of Italy. [On this article the Morning Chronicle, adds, "The encroachments on the Emperor of Austria go on daily. This last act is evidently done to intimidate this oppressed and unfortunate Monarch, and force him to surrender his high dignity as head of the Empire of Germany." He has MADE THE SURRENDER.]
PRUSSIA. MAGDEBURGH, AUG. 16. For some days past every thing here has worn a very hostile appearance. On Wednesday this place was declared in a state of siege, the military depots have been put upon the war establishment, and two thousand peasants work at the fortifications; by the 20th of this month all will be ready to march.
Our city at this moment swarms with soldiers, the regiment from Bareuth arrived here and at Halle, on Wednesday; all the vessels between this and Saxony have been put in requisition.
The train for the army of Westphalia has been ordered to be ready by Tuesday next; the horses will be delivered to-morrow, and the following day.
HANOVER, AUG. 15. Great movements have been observed among the troops in this country. A demand has moreover been made to the College of Deputation, of 3600 horses, to remount the troops. It is said that there will be three camps formed upon our frontiers.
BERLIN, AUG. 12. Our city has for some days past been the scene of activity, and his Majesty comes frequently from Charlottenburg. There exists in the Cabinet the utmost energy, as well as in all the military departments. Some Generals have been called to this place, and sent as Estafettes to several military stations.
AUG. 23. The march of the troops still continues, and it is remarked that the exchange of couriers between Berlin and St. Petersburg, is more active than ever. These couriers are the bearers of letters written by the two Sovereigns with their own hands, who reciprocally give to each other assurances of the warmest friendship.
BRANDENBURG, AUG. 16. Almost all the Prussian army is in motion. Prince LOUIS FERDINAND of Prussia, the Prince of Hohenlohe, General RUCHTEL, and General BLUCHER will command the principal corps.
FRONTIERS OF SAXONY, AUG. 13. We learn that camps will be formed in several districts, and that some of the fortresses have been provisioned. The Minister of State, Count Gons, Envoy of his Prussian Majesty, at Ratisbon, has set out for Berlin. The report that the French troops had taken possession of Meiningen, is destitute of foundation.
BANKS OF THE ELBE, AUG. 18. The political horizon appears to darken again, and the hopes of peace seem to vanish. The French papers contain various complaints against the Cabinet of Vienna, which appears difficult to conciliate. The North of Germany equally wears an hostile aspect; the Prussian troops have left the Banks of the Elbe, for the purpose of concentrating themselves in the centre of the country. It is said that a camp will be formed between Hanover, Zell, and Heidenheim.
BANKS OF THE MAIN, AUG. 12. The march of the French troops in Swabia continues without interruption, and passes daily through Ulm. The transport of artillery does not seem to be discontinued, as had lately been reported, according to a credible statement.
The number of French troops yet in Germany amounts to 153,000 men. All the Austrian Officers which are not attached to the prisoners or to the hospitals of that nation, or which have not an special permission from the Minister of War, Prince NEUCHATEL, are obliged to remove themselves from every neighbourhood where there are any Austrian prisoners of war.
We are assured that the Corps of Marshal SOULT has received orders to advance to Serbia to assist the Porte in reducing the insurgents of that province to obedience.
RUSSIA. PETERSBURG, AUG. 7. A courier from the army in Persia has brought favorable news of its operations.
The Neva, Capt. LINJANSKY, the second ship in the expedition round the world, has safely arrived at Cronstadt. This is the first voyage round the world ever made by Russian navigators.
ITALY. NAPLES, AUG. 4. The Two Calabrias have been declared in a state of war. Martial law is proclaimed therein. General MASSENA is authorised to appoint Court-Martials, whose sentences are to be executed in 24 hours, without appeal. The troops are to be maintained by the revolted provinces; and the property of all persons found guilty by the Military tribunals is to be confiscated. The Monks are to be severely punished. The property of emigrants is confiscated; and persons who retain arms 24 hours after being ordered to deliver them are to suffer death.
Generals GRENIER, VERDIER, and MERMET, have maintained their positions, and the English have been compelled to re-embark.
Catrona and Reggio held out against the united force of the rebels and English.
To full powers [to burn, destroy and hang] given to MASSENA, and the force gone against the revolted Calabrians, had spread great panic among them, and they were hastening to implore, at the foot of the throne, that clemency which so eminently distinguishes the character of our sovereign! General MASSENA has 25,000 troops with him.
AUG. 5. The King has set out for Calabria.—MASSENA's advanced guard has routed a horde of rebels at Montefano, killed 30 on the field, took one hundred, who received military judgment ("jugés militairement") on the spot. The same fate attended the rebels at Vignano and Abetina, 17 of them were arrested, tried, and executed.
A royal decree has passed for dividing the kingdom in 13 provinces, and providing for the interior administration thereof.
AUG. 12. Generals MASSENA and REGNIER have united at Cassano after having purged the country through which they have passed of rebels.
His Majesty has returned from his journey to Calabria, after being absent four days.
The Farther Calabria not having been so deep in the guilt of rebellion,
as Hither Calabria, will be treated with more mildness. The insurgents have been punished, and Corigliano delivered up to the flames. The rebels have been abandoned to their fate by the English, and by those who caused the insurrection. Tranquility is restored.
HOLLAND. HAGUE, AUG. 19. LOUIS NAPOLEON, by the Grace of God, &c. We have determined, and do determine by these:
"1. The daily paper, called The Amsterdam Evening Journal , shall be suppressed. The Conductor shall not obtain permission to be employed again in any periodical work, having falsely pretended to be the writer of a paper under our authority; and having spoken, in his publication of July 24, in a light and unjustifiable manner of governments with whom we are at peace.
"2. Since no subject is permitted to speak in the name of his Sovereign; and as it is unlawful for any private person to censure the acts of different governments, otherwise than in speech, and this entirely within his own domestic circle, every conductor of any printed work, who shall act in opposition to this law, shall be punished as an open disturber of the public tranquillity, and a transgressor of his duties to his sovereign.
"C. J. VAN BRAKEL. "Given at Mestz, Aug. 6, 1806."
ANTWERP, AUG. 15. Great activity prevails in our arsenal.—The Caroline, of 44 guns, was launched this day. We have no less than 8 ships of the line now on the stocks;—and the keel of another is immediately to be laid upon the Caroline's slip.
FRANCE. PARIS, AUG. 31. We learn from L'Orient, that on the 27th, the ship Veteran, of 74 guns, Capt. JEROME BONAPARTE, arrived safe at Cancarneau (Bay of La Forêt.) He separated from Vice-Admiral WILLAUMEZ, in a gale of wind. The English chased him, but in vain.
SEPT. 5.
The treaty of peace between France and Russia, has not been ratified by the Emperor ALEXANDER.—The official journal of to-day contains, on this subject, the following details:—
"On the Negotiation with Russia."
"The peace of Presburg, the treaty of alliance between Russia and France, and above all, the moral, political, and military consequences of the battle of Austerlitz, have rendered Russia most completely impotent to disturb the repose of the continent, which was all that France desired.
"We have waited, with as much incertitude as patience, to know what steps would be taken by the court of Russia, when M. D'OURBIL arrived from Vienna: that minister presented himself to M. DE LA ROCHEFOUCAULT, and demanded passports for Paris.
"M. DE LA ROCHEFOUCAULT had to wait for authority. He acquainted his court with the request of the Russian minister, and he received orders to furnish Mr. D'OURBIL with passports immediately: but, although it has always been the intention of the Emperor not to permit Russia to intermeddle imperiously in those interests which are not within the sphere of her power, and in discussions foreign to her localities, he did not the less desire a reconciliation which might be useful to both states.
"M. D'OURBIL arrived at Paris the 9th July, he presented himself to the minister of exterior relations, and

after several conversations he exhibited the full powers by which he was authorized, in a form the most complete and extensive, to negotiate, conclude, and sign a peace between the two states.
"On the report that was made to the Emperor, he named for his minister-plenipotentiary General CLARKE, counsellor of state and secretary of the cabinet, charged to treat, conclude, and sign, in virtue of powers, corresponding with those of M. D'OURBIL, a peace with the Emperor of Russia.
"The plenipotentiaries devoted themselves, with a regular and uninterrupted attention, to the business of the mission with which they were charged; and at length, after a great number of conferences, Peace was signed on the 20th July. When that treaty shall become known, all Europe will bear testimony that the peace was equally honourable to both powers.
"Hostilities were immediately to cease, and they did cease on the part of France. The ratifications were to have been exchanged on the 15th of August, and no doubt could arise against the exchange, because the negotiators were known to have long enjoyed the confidence of their sovereigns. They had followed their instructions precisely; they had negotiated in virtue of complete and positive powers; and not, as it often happens when in negotiations, where the negotiators are ignorant whether they have sufficient authority, with the clause of sub spe rat.
"Nevertheless, M. RUFFIN, chancellor to the consulate of France in Russia, arrived yesterday from Petersburg, and brings the news that in consequence of a change of ministers, by the effect of new principles in the Russian government, and by the extraordinary ascendancy which the English interest has obtained from that circumstance in the new cabinet, the treaty of the 20th of July has not been ratified.
"Hostilities between France and Russia are therefore to recommence. The men who preside over the discord of nations, and who make a jest of prolonging or of multiplying the fatal epochs of war and of the disturbance of states, are highly enraged. The conquerors of Ulm and of Austerlitz are again assembled under their standards, and near the field of their triumphs. Greater in number, more formidable than ever, by that organization which has never been equalled, and will never be rivalled, they wait with impatient hope the impulse of the great soul that animates them.
"Yet nothing can make us presume upon the renewal of the continental war. The destiny of states is the secret of Providence: their happiness and their glory are in the wisdom of governments.
"In all cases, the Emperor, with the French people, are prepared for every event; and the armies of his majesty will every where find themselves combatting to consolidate repose and a durable and glorious peace.
"FULL POWERS OF M. D'OURBIL.
"WE ALEXANDER I. Emperor and Autocrat of all the Russias, &c. Feeling constantly a solicitude for the preservation of peace and tranquility in Europe, and animated with a sincere desire to put an end to the misunderstanding and to re-establish harmony with France upon a solid basis, have thought good to commit that care to a person enjoying our confidence. For this purpose we have made choice of our well-beloved and faithful PIERRE D'OURBIL, our Counsellor of State, and Knight of the Orders of Saint Vladimir of the third class, of Saint Anne of the second, and of Saint John of Jerusalem, whom we chose, name, and authorize by these presents, for the purpose of attaining that end, to enter into conferences with him or them who shall be sufficiently authorized on the part of the French government, to conclude and sign with them an act or convention on a suitable basis to consolidate the peace which shall be established between Russia and France, as well as to pave the way for a reconciliation
between the other high belligerent powers of Europe.
"We promise, upon our Imperial word, to have for good, and to execute faithfully, all that which shall have been decreed and signed by our said plenipotentiary; and to give our Imperial ratification within the term which shall have been promised.
"In faith of which, we have signed this full power, and affixed to it the seal of our empire.
"Given at St. Petersburg the 30th April, 1806, and of our reign the sixth.

ENGLAND. LONDON, SEPT. 5.
British Victory in Calabria.
The Gazette of this morning, contains an official account of a most brilliant victory, gained over the French in Calabria, by the British forces under Gen. STUART. On this occasion, the Park and Tower Guns were fired; and a very great sensation excited, throughout the metropolis. The official despatches are interesting, and contain the following particulars:—
"TO THE RIGHT HON. WILLIAM WINDHAM, Principal Secretary of State.
"Camp, on the Plain of Maida, July 6, 1806.
"SIR, "IT is with the most heartfelt satisfaction that I have the honor of reporting to you, for the information of his Majesty, the particulars of an action, in which the French army quartered in this province have sustained a signal defeat by the troops under my command.
"General REIGNIER, having been apprised of our disembarkation at St. Eufemia, appears to have made a rapid march from Reggio, omitting, as he advanced, his detached corps, for the purpose of attacking, and with his characteristic confidence, of defeating us.
"On the afternoon of the 3d instant, I received intelligence that he had that day encamped near Maida, about ten miles distant from our position, that his force consisted at the moment of about four thousand infantry and three hundred cavalry, together with four pieces of artillery, and that he was in expectation of being joined within a day or two by three thousand more troops who were marching after him in a second division.
"I determined therefore to advance towards his position, and, having left four companies of Waterville's regiment under Major FISHER, to protect the stores and occupy a work which had been thrown up at our landing place, the body of the army marched the next morning with a force which consisted in infantry, cavalry and artillery, of about 4795 men.
"General REIGNIER was encamped on the side of a woody hill, below the village of Maida, sloping into the plain of St. Eufemia; his flanks were strengthened by a thick impenetrable underwood. The Amato, a river perfectly fordable, but of which the sides are extremely marshy, ran along his front; my approach to him from the sea side (along the borders of which I directed my march, until I had nearly turned his left) was across a spacious plain, which gave him every opportunity of minutely observing my movements.
"After some loose firing of the flanking to cover the deployment of the two armies, by 9 o'clock, in the morning the opposing fronts were warmly engaged, when the prowess of the rival nations seemed now fairly to be at trial before the world, and the superiority was greatly and gloriously decided to be our own.
"The corps which formed the right of the advanced line was the Battalion of Light Infantry commanded by Lieutenant Colonel KEMP, consisting of the light companies of the 20th, 27th, 35th, 58th, 61st, 81st, and Waterville's, together with one hundred and fifty chosen battalion men of the 35th regiment, under Major ROBINSON. Directly opposed to them, was the favourite French regiment the 1st legers. The two corps at the distance of about one hundred yards fired reciprocally a few rounds, when, as if by mutual agreement, the firing was suspended, and in close compact order and awful silence, they advanced towards each other, until their bayonets began to cross. At this momentous crisis the enemy became appalled. They broke, and endeavoured to fly, but it was too late; they were overtaken with the most dreadful slaughter.
"Brigadier General ARKLAND, whose brigade was immediately on the left of the Light Infantry, with great spirit seized himself of this favorable moment to press instantly forward upon the corps in his front; the brave 78th regiment commanded by Lieutenant Colonel MACLEOD, and the 81st regiment under Major PLENDERLEATH, both distinguished themselves on this occasion. The enemy fled with dismay and disorder before them, leaving the plain covered with their dead and wounded.
"The enemy being thus completely discomfited on their left, began to make a new effort with their right, in the hope of recovering the day. They were resisted most gallantly by the brigade under Brigadier General COLE. Nothing could shake the undaunted firmness of the Grenadiers under Lieutenant Colonel O'CALLAGHAN, and of the 27th regiment under Lieutenant Colonel SMITH. The cavalry, successively repelled from before their front, made an effort to turn their left, when Lieutenant Colonel ROSS, who had that morning landed from Melha with the 20th
regiment, and was coming up to the army during the action, having observed the movement, threw his regiment opportunely into a small cover upon their flank, and by a heavy and well directed fire, entirely disconcerted this attempt.
"This was the last feeble struggle of the enemy, who now, astonished and dismayed by the intrepidity with which they were assailed began precipitately to retire, leaving the field covered with carnage. Above seven hundred bodies of their dead have been buried upon the ground. The wounded and prisoners already in our hands (among which are General COURBET, and an Aid-de-Camp, the Lieutenant-Colonel of the Swiss regiment), and a long list of officers of different ranks amount to above one thousand. There are also above one thousand men left in Monteleone and the different posts between this and Reggio, who have mostly notified their readiness to surrender, whenever a British force shall be sent to receive their submission, and to protect them from the fury of the people. The peasantry are hourly bringing in fugitives, who dispersed in the woods and mountains after the battle. In short, never has the pride of our presumptuous enemy been more severely humbled, nor the superiority of the British troops more gloriously proved, than in the events of this memorable day.
"His Majesty may, perhaps, still desire to appreciate more highly the achievements of this little army, when it is known that the second division which the enemy were said to be expecting had all joined them the night before the action; no statement that I have heard of their numbers places them at a less calculation than seven thousand men.
"Our victorious infantry continued the pursuit of the routed enemy so long as they were able; but as the latter dispersed in every direction, and we were under the necessity of preserving our order, the trial of speed became unequal.
"The total loss occasioned to the enemy by this conflict cannot be less than four thousand men. When I oppose to the above our own small comparative loss, as underneath detailed, His Majesty will, I hope, discern in the fact, the happy effects of that established discipline to which we owe the triumphs by which our army has been hitherto so highly distinguished.
"I am now beginning my march southward preparatory to my return to Sicily, for which station I shall re-embark with the army, as soon as his Sicilian Majesty shall have arranged a disposition of his own forces to secure those advantages which have been gained by the present expedition.
"There seldom has happened an action in which the zeal and personal exertions of individuals were so imperiously called for as in the present; seldom an occasion where a General had a fairer opportunity of observing them.
"The General officers and those who commanded regiments will feel a stronger test of their merits in the circumstances that have been detailed of their conduct, than in any eulogium I could presume to pass upon them.
"The scene of action was too far from the sea to enable us to derive any direct co-operation from the navy; but Admiral Sir SIDNEY SMITH, who had arrived in the Bay the evening before the action, had directed such a disposition of ships and gun-boats as would have greatly favoured us had events obliged us to retire. The solicitude however of every part of the navy to be of use to us, the promptitude with which the seamen hastened on shore with our supplies, their anxiety to assist our wounded, and the tenderness with which they treated them, would have been an affecting circumstance to observers even the most indifferent. To me it was particularly so.
"Total killed and wounded:—1 officer, 3 sergeants, 1 rank and file killed; 11 officers, 3 sergeants, 2 drummers, 261 rank and file wounded.—Among the officers wounded, are Capt. M'LEAN, Major HAMILTON, severely; Lt. Col. M'LEOD; Major D. STUART, Capt. D. M'PHERSON, and D. M'GREGOR, Lt. James M'KAY, Ensign COLIN M'KENZIE and Peter M'GREGOR; Capt. WATERHOUSE, Lieut. and Adj. GINGER; Lieut. Col. MOORE.
PROCLAMATION.
Of Sir J. STUART, Knight of the Grand Imperial Order of the Greater Crescent, and Commander in Chief of the troops of his Britannic Majesty, landed in Calabria.
"I have been informed, that since the battle of the 4th inst. some of the persons attached to the French cause, and supported by some detachments of their troops, have been guilty of the most atrocious enormities, in plundering the villages, and assassinating the inhabitants, under the pretext of punishing them for their demonstrations of attachment to their legitimate Sovereign.
"I have also learned, that the enemy, under the same pretext, has subjected the district of Catrone, to military chastisement; and that at the French Head quarters, the same intention has been declared with respect to the whole of the country, which they may have occupied in their flight.
"Wherever the British army has advanced, submission has always been recompensed by protection. I have forbidden any animadversion to be cast upon past opinions. I have prohibited all private animosities, and to encourage the peasants to behave with humanity towards the French soldiers (who since their late defeat have been dispersed into the woods and mountains) I offered a liberal reward for every prisoner who should be brought unharmed to the British Camp, and by these means I have preserved the lives of many hundred men.
"In return for this, plunder and devastation have marked the retreat of the enemy, and it was a crime in the peasants to have witnessed the dishonour and dishonor of his arms.
"On this subject it therefore becomes necessary for me to appeal to the recollection of the French commanders, and to state, not only that many of their declared and known Partisans are in my power, but that the signal success of the army under my command, has placed in my hands above 3000 prisoners. If, therefore, such violences are not put an end to in future, I shall not only deem myself justified, but even compelled by my duty, to have recourse to the severe but indispensable Law of Reprisals.
(Signed) J. STUART. Head-Quarters, at Bagnara, July, 18, 1806.
AMERICA AND BRITAIN.
On the 1st instant, a meeting was held between Lords HOLLAND and AUCKLAND, and Messrs. MUNROE and PINKNEY, on the subject of the differences between this country and the United States. They sat about two hours. An amicable treaty is expected to be the result of these conferences.
LATEST.—Via New-Bedford.
LONDON, SEPT. 15.
On Saturday last, the 13th inst. in the afternoon, that great and illustrious statesman, CHARLES JAMES FOX, yielded his last breath in the arms of his nephew Lord HOLLAND.
The following persons are talked of as his successors: The Marquis WILLESLEY, Lord HOLLAND, Mr. T. GRENVILLE and Lord LAUDERDALE.
Mr. FOX was in his 58th year. He was elected to Parliament before he was of age, acted with the then Ministers, and his first speech was against Wilkes. He was often in and out of the Ministry.
Last night a messenger left town for Paris. He will carry the news of the death of Mr. FOX.
SEPT. 15.
Capture of Buenos Ayres.
The official news of the capture of Buenos Ayres is received. It capitulated on the 27th of June. There fell into the hands of the English 1,291,338 dollars, in silver and bullion. Gen. Beresford has issued a proclamation as Lieut. Governor; and promises to allow a free trade to all nations in amity with England.
The trade of Buenos Ayres is to be put on the same footing, by promise, as that of Trinidad.
It was estimated that the merchandise in the king's stores, principally jelvis bark and quicksilver, and what is in the Phillipine Company's stores, with the little that is retained of floating property, would amount if it could be disposed of, in between 2 and 3 millions of dollars. Of the bullion delivered in, some was claimed as private property, and was to be restored—and so of some of the money.
90 pieces of ordnance, 550 whole barrels of powder, 2203 muskets with bayonets, 72 without bayonets, 616 carbines, 4079 pistols, 31 musketoons, and 1247 swords—were taken at Buenos Ayres. The English had 1 man killed, 12 wounded, and 1 was missing.
Domestic Occurrences.
MARYLAND. BALTIMORE, OCT. 22.
The following note from the commander of the French ship L'Eole, appeared in an evening paper of yesterday:
ON the 22d of August, the French ship L'Eole of 74 guns having been in the gale of the 19th, and lost her rudder and was totally dismasted, met at sea the schooner Confidence, captain Tripp, of Boston, from Grenada. The distressed and disabled situation of the ship, and the danger to which she was hourly exposed, induced the commander to detain the above schooner, in order to assist her in making the first port. One ensign, a midshipman and six sailors without arms, were put on board, not to take possession or to commit any violence, but to assist in working the vessel in towing the ship so as to keep her head to the sea and prevent her rolling. The towline however, was shortly cast off, not answering the purpose.
The 23d at 4 P. M. the schooner being about 2 miles ahead of the ship, Capt. Tripp, who was loaded with gifts and favors from the commander, surprised the Frenchmen on board, and forced them into a very leaky row boat, and expose them to a rough sea, and to the chance, by night, of losing the ship, and thereby became the victims of his ungrateful barbarity.
If capt. Dan. Tripp, who seems to wish to exalt himself in the eyes of his countrymen, by this act of cowardice & villany, is susceptible of any serious reflections on the above transaction, he ought indeed to tremble at ever meeting a French vessel at sea.
Le Capt. de Va. Com'd. REVOST DE LA CROIX.
Capt. Le Croix follows the above with another note, in which he commends the conduct of Mr. Gough, the

pilot who brought him safe to Annapolis, & who was instrumental in saving him from being captured by 2 British vessels off the Cape.
Captain Lincoln, arrived at Philadelphia, on his passage to Havana, on the 27th of August, in lat. 23, 49. long. 73, 49, in the morning; spoke the French frigate Cybelle, since put into the Chesapeake in distress, and at 9 o'clock the same evening fell in with and was boarded from the French 80 gun ship Regules, Admiral L'Hermite, who made enquiry after the Cybelle, as they were in the gale of the 19th with her, and feared she had foundered: they said their ship had received no damage in the gale, and would stand for the Cybelle; but it is most probable they stood for Europe, as she has not since been heard of. Thus all the French ships and frigates, except the President of 44 guns, which sailed from Martinico in the summer, are accounted for.

  ENTERED. From   Sloop Huntress , Helme New-York   — Halcyon , Cahoon ditto   — Aurora , Cahoon ditto   CLEARED. For   Sloop Golden-Age , Justin New-York   Ship Good-Intent , Dennis New-Orleans   — Mary , Wood Africa 
NEW-YORK, Oct. 23. Arrived, barque Nixon , Living, in 43 days from Cadiz. Left, ship Suffolk , of Newport, 28th, was boarded by the British armed brig Avon , 30 days from England bound to the Chesapeake—having a few days before been chased by a French 74, and obliged to throw over part of her guns.
BALTIMORE, Oct. 23. Arrived, frigate Victory , Campbell, 23 days from St. Jago. Off Cape Antonio, spoke brig Sally , Pratt, from Jamaica for New-York; had been boarded from the British frigate Circe , which impressed one of her crew. The Victory was taken on the 30th of March, on her passage from Curacao to Virginia, by a French privateer, and carried to St. Jago, detained there 4 months, and when cleared was charged with all costs—after sailing was followed and seized by a Spanish privateer, detained about 6 hours, and after threatening to carry him to Trinidad, dismissed him.
Also, ship Thomas Wilson , Gardner, in 126 days from Mocha. Left, ship Commerce , Hest, of Philadelphia, uncertain when to sail; ship Oriental , West, of Baltimore, ditto. The ship Erin , Stevenson, sailed from Mocha the 18th May, touched at Aden, where she remained 24 hours, and failed for Isle of France—Off the Isle of France the Thomas Wilson was boarded by the Sir Francis Drake, British frigate, one of the blockading squadron, who after firing about 100 musket shots into us, came on board and impressed 3 of the crew—they informed us they had captured the ship Erin of Baltimore, and sent her to Madras. Oct. 6, off Bermuda, spoke the British man of war brig Avon , with Mr. Erskine, the British minister, on board, bound for the Chesapeake. A melancholy event took place about 70 miles above Mocha, a short time before Capt. G. failed: the American ship Effex , Orne, of Salem, was attacked by an Arab ship of considerable force, taken possession of, plundered, the crew all murdered and the ship sunk: fraud was resorted to by them, otherwise they could not have taken her—the owner of the Arab ship (Syed Mahomed Ikle) prevailed upon Capt. Orne to discharge his pilot at Camerac, and to receive on board his brother and a number of slaves, as passengers, and informed him they would assist in the management of his ship from Camerac to Hindostan, which Capt. Orne in an unguarded moment consented to—the Arab ship proceeding in company: they were attacked at the same time from without and within, and their fate was soon decided. I hope nothing of this kind will in future happen, for he is now afraid to go elsewhere than to Loneya, and the island of Camerac, the sovereignty of which island belongs to him, he having purchased the same from the sheriff of Loneya. It is said he is about to proceed to Muscat, and I think it of consequence that his movements be known to the American, lest his associates may not go unpunished.

APOLLO'S FOUNT.
From FESSENDEN'S WEEKLY INSPECTOR.
The following are among the happiest effusions of the celebrated translator of Anacreon. The alteration in the last line of the first stanza, is easy and unaffested. In the last line of the second stanza, the sound is beautifully imitative of the sense; and all the images are rural, chaste, and descriptive.
BALLAD STANZAS.
I KNEW by the smoke, that so gracefully curl'd Above the green elms, that a cottage was near, And I said, "If there's peace to be found in the world, A heart that was humble, might hope for it here!"
From the MASSACHUSETTS MAGAZINE.
STORY OF JULIA.—A real Character.
AT last the welcome message arrived with instructions for Julia to repair to New-York. However much animated in obeying this summons; yet she was secretly convinced that her aunt had behaved very coolly towards her and had almost been guilty of a breach of friendship in not sending for her sooner. But this consideration did not retard her progress. The next day she took leave of her friends; and the day after pursued on her journey. She took along with her a maid; besides two other servants, with whom she intrusted her money, and other articles; all of which she delivered into the possession of her aunt.
Here begins the era of the misfortunes, to which the ill-fated Julia was exposed. The seemingly affectionate reception she experienced, served to abate her fears respecting the unfriendly disposition of her aunt, and for a while kept her in the pleasing delusion. But an event soon happened that disclosed the treacherous aunt, which shall soon be related. For the present, we will make a few introductory observations, which may tend to elucidate the subsequent narrative.
Mrs. Sumpter had always flattered herself that Littleton would bestow upon her no small part of his fortune, as he had only one lineal heir; whose circumstances would not require more than one half of it. This she early communicated to some intimate friends, and would undoubtedly have done it to her brother himself, had not his death prevented. Perhaps he considered that the affluent circumstances of his sister did not need his assistance. But he amply provided for the education and expenses of Julia, by granting to his sister the income of certain parts of his real estate during her natural life, and then to revert to his daughter. Being thus frustrated, she at once determined to obtain by fraud and perfidy, what she could not legally possess. The contrivance of this scheme retarded Julia's journey to New-York: for the deceitful aunt was anxious to have her plots ripe for execution before she arrived, so that she might the more readily avoid suspicion; and secretly work out the ruin of the unsuspecting, innocent.
Now comes the event which was just mentioned. The artful and intriguing aunt had agreed to betray Captain Piemont, whose libertine principles were well known, and who was then bound on a voyage to the Cape of Good Hope. But to accomplish it so as to clear herself of suspicion, was still more difficult. The thoughts of so valuable an acquisition, fired the bosom of the insidious Piemont with the most brutal desires. He resolved to sacrifice his interest, his honour, and even his life, to complete the conquest. He was soon introduced to Julia as a gentleman of a good character, and highly recommended by the aunt as a person with whom she might safely cultivate an intimate friendship, and at the same time expressed a wish that they might establish a still closer connection.
This untimely insinuation carried with it the appearance of a sanguinary disposition, rather than exhibited the least degree of love and caution. Piemont, it is true, was possessed of many exterior accomplishments, which could not fail of making some impression upon a mind, naturally susceptible of the softer feelings of humanity; but she had discernment enough to pry into the understanding of his heart, the religion he professed, his moral conduct in life, and well knew how to distinguish real affection from pretended friendship. She was fully convinced that his addresses were founded upon the prospects of wealth, for it seems he did not fully understand the motives of Mrs. Sumpter, in forwarding his purposes; neither did Julia in the least suspect that he had in contemplation the ruin of her virtue. By whatever motives he might at first be actuated, the charms and accomplishments of the destined victim to his licentious views, soon began to soften his heart, and fill his bosom with quite different feelings. He would have willingly made her the most honourable proposals, but the fear of disappointment prevented him; and his predominant passion suggesting the vilest deceit, he became rigorously bent upon the enjoyment of the last favour, not by artful flattery, because he was convinced that such a measure would never melt her into kindness; but by treachery and violence, the last resort of the wicked.
Many plans were laid, and schemes concerted to accomplish these diabolic purposes; but the prudence rather than the suspicions of Julia, eluded their efforts. She was resolved to trust no friend, much more to expose herself to the attacks of those, whose conduct had rendered them not only odious, but dangerous; and the uncommon reserve with which her aunt treated her was sufficient to make her confidence doubtful. With this resolution she was determined to meet the frowns of fortune; and her own conscious innocence served to keep her bosom serene and calm, and lest not a sting behind .
But the crafty foes of her happiness persevered in their designs, and finally deceived the afflicted Julia. She had contracted an intimate acquaintance with the amiable Miss Sophia Bayard. This was noticed by Piemont, and Mrs. Sumpter. They resolved to make use of her name, in order to accomplish their wishes. They forged a billet in Sophia's name, directed to Julia, requesting the pleasure of her company the ensuing evening to drink tea on board Piemont's ship, as he had very politely given her an invitation, and the privilege of choosing what party she pleased to accompany her, and that she would meet her on M'Dougal's pier, (so called) from which place they were to take boat, precisely at six o'clock. Julia was not a little perplexed in her mind, for she was always solicitous to avoid doing any thing which might look like suspicion, and ever paid the greatest seeming deference to the advice of her aunt; and affected to place implicit confidence in the virtue of those, to whom she was recommended. In order still to preserve the appearance of unsuspicion, she accepted the invitation. When she arrived at the Pier, she found a boat ready for her reception, and on inquiring after Sophia, was informed that she had gone on board, but had left her compliments, and desired her to proceed after her. She did not hesitate to comply. But when she entered the ship, how great was her astonishment! She searched for Sophia—Alas! nobody was to be seen but Piemont. He was confused, and knew not what to say, but at last he made out to utter— Come, amiable Julia, and make yourself contented, I will endeavour to make your situation agreeable; the company bawls not arrived . She stood speechless, but knowing her situation to be perilous, was resolved to assume
a boldness proportionable to her danger. "What! cried she hastily, have you the wickedness to seek the ruin of an unhappy female? Have I done any thing to merit such treatment? or rather have I not always treated you with friendship and respect? O, can you be so cruel as to ruin one, who never did you any hurt! What feelings must you have to betray me from the protection of the world, and then to meditate the violence I so justly apprehended! For God's sake, if you have any compassion; if you are possessed of one generous sentiment; if distress; if misfortunes can move your feelings, pray have pity on me! I am in your hands, satiate your brutal desires, and then abandon me to infamy & despair! My life is of no value; I had much rather sacrifice it than to lose my honour! Here!" (opening her bosom) here plunge in your dagger, and relieve my misery! Good God! thou knowest the purity of my heart! Protect me, and forgive thou the offender!"
The distress and anguish pictured in the countenance of Julia: the severe, though just reprimand she had given, and the most fervent ejaculations, for a moment softened the heart of Piemont, and caused tears to flow.
Now it happened, that the mate of the ship was a native of Boston, had obtained a liberal education—had acquired many accomplishments—had made great proficiency in his classical studies, and had also been so fortunate as to establish a shining reputation; but poverty compelled him to renounce the more active and conspicuous scenes of life, and seek a livelihood upon the ocean. He had been intimately acquainted with Littleton; had experienced many of his favours, and was no stranger to the virtues of Julia; but his absence had erased him from her mind, and whether he was dead or alive she did not know. This knowledge and acquaintance, he carefully concealed from Piemont, who was continually boasting of his libertine adventures; and how he intended to triumph over the virtue of the beautiful Julia.
Edwards' (for that was the mate's name) was not in a situation to appreciate her of her danger. He reflected with painful anxiety upon the resolute designs of Piemont, but he was resolved to defeat them, and save the harmless fair from destruction. The natural goodness of his heart led him to espouse the cause of innocence, and save the unfortunate Julia from impending ruin, at the risk of his own life and reputation. He was no stranger to the intended attempt of Piemont to decoy her on board, and then to accomplish his wishes. For the purpose of defeating his intentions, Edwards went to the door of the cabin, and through the key hole observed all that passed, was well armed, and prepared to enter as soon as necessity required.
In the mean time Julia pursued her intreaties, and went so far as to conjure Piemont by every tie of friendship and humanity, by the sacred laws of honour, and the dreadful wrath of offended heaven, to let her on shore—but her expostulations were unavailing. "How can you, said she, be a witness to my disgrace, and not be covered with shame! How can you bear to make me become an outcast, and forfeit my title to virtue, and be forever excluded from entering the pure abodes of the righteous! Be pleased to show some pity towards my unhappy condition, and not forget the day when you must account for this unexampled treachery! I did not think you could be so cruel." Although he had not made any forcible attempt upon her virtue, yet his intentions were obvious, by betraying her on board in a clandestine manner, and under the specious pretence of a friendly visit; and the whole scene conducted by deception too, which must shock the ear of delicacy. As soon as she concluded her last sentence, she melted into tears, and dropped back into her chair. Piemont pretended great humanity—drew near her—pressed her hand, and feigned to water it with his tears. He made use of every art to persuade her to a com-
pliance, alledging, that she was in his power, that her fears of reproach were ill founded, that as he was guilty of seducing her, he would make her ample amends by tendering her his hand in a way which she deemed the most honourable. But finding his arguments fail, and suddenly agitated at the repulse, he began to proceed to extremities. She intreated his pity, and struggled hard. At this critical moment, Edwards dashed open the door, and flew to her relief. They were all equally astonished. Piemont little expected an assault. Edwards' situation was not a little disagreeable, for he had ventured to intrude himself by force into the presence of his superior officer, and defeated his flattering prospects. Nothing can describe the feelings of Julia. At first she suspected he was an accomplice in Piemont's intended wickedness, but his countenance, in which she read the intentions of his heart, soon convinced her that he was her deliverer; and on a sudden, recollecting his features, flew into his arms in the most eager transports. This quick transition from deep despair to the most unspeakable joy, quite overpowered the disconsolate Julia, and she fell into a swoon. During this time, Piemont viewed what had happened with the utmost trepidation and amazement; not daring to oppose.
