VERY LATE, AND Important Foreign News.
Received at New York, by the Duke of Clarence Packet, in 35 days from Falmouth, (Engl.)
"Now, again, for the bare pick'd bone of Majesty, Doth dogged War bristle his angry crest, And loareth in the gentle eyes of peace."
Strong Indications of the re-commencement of Hostilities in Europe.
FRANKFORT, NOV. 10.
WHILE we were flattering ourselves with hopes of peace, appearances here have suddenly become very warlike.
Yesterday General Angereau received a courier from Paris, with orders to give notice immediately of the termination of the armistice; which he accordingly did on the same day; Adjutant General Richer was yesterday afternoon sent with the following note to the Commander of the Austrian troops, and to Baron Albion, commander of the Mentz troops at Altschaffenburg.
General,
According to the orders I have received from my government, I hereby notify to you the termination of the armistice. Hostilities will therefore recommence in fourteen days from this day, that is, on the 24th day of November.
"ANGEREAU."
STRASBURG, NOV. 17.
The armistice has been denounced to all the armies. General Desolles, who has the provisional command during the absence of Moreau, has notified to the archduke John, the commander in chief of the Austrian army, that the armistice is at an end, and that hostilities will recommence on the 7th Brumaire, Nov. 28. Orders have been publicly given to the army at Mayence, that the armistice is to conclude on the 9th Brumaire, Nov. 20. Adjutant General Angereau arrived at Altschaffenburg on the eve of a grand festival. According to the last intelligence from Switzerland, the Government and Constituted authorities at Zurich were informed that the armistice had been denounced the 18th Brumaire, November 9. Hostilities will recommence in that quarter on the 3d or 4th Brumaire, Nov. 24 or 25. The head quarters of General Macdonald are at Coire. The greater part of the army of the Grisons has already let out on its march to the frontiers. A considerable force is assembling in the country of the Grisons.
LONDON, NOV. 29.
Yesterday were received Paris papers to the 25th inst. From the account of hostile preparations in the last French papers, it might be expected that the present would bring an account that hostilities had commenced, at least in Italy. They do not, however; but they seem to say that war is inevitable. Bonaparte's horses, and a detachment of his guards, left Paris on the 20th for the Rhine, where it is said he will assume the command of the army, Moreau is to repair to Italy.
According to the notices by the French Generals, the armistice was not to be broken in the Tyrol until the 24th, and in Bavaria until the 28th.
The conferences at Lunéville still continue; but from the orders of the several French Generals to resume hostilities, it is evident that no great progress had been made in the work of peace on the 19th of Nov. the date of the last Bulletin from thence.
On the 22d of Nov. Bonaparte assembled the Legislative Body of France. This Meeting was opened by an official exposition of the general state of France. It contains a description of the ruinous state of affairs when Bonaparte assumed the reins of power, and contrasts it with its present improved circumstances.
Yesterday, after our paper was at press, we received the Paris Journals to the 24th inst. inclusive. The most important article they contain is "The State of the Republic," presented by the Chief Consul to the Legislative Body on their meeting.
This official document will be read with the greatest interest, as it contains much information respecting continental affairs. It holds out the hope of the possibility of the conferences going on at Lunéville notwithstanding the armistice having been declared at an end—a measure stated to have been merely of a precautionary nature. But it seems equally plain, that if they go on it will be for the purpose of separate negotiations; and when we compare what the first Consul states respecting Russia, with the conduct of Paul in laying an embargo on the British ships in his ports; it seems probable that Britain is deemed to carry on the war, not merely against her present foes, but against all the northern powers also.
Rupture between Russia and England. LONDON, NOV. 28.
We are sorry to state that the intelligence we communicated yesterday of 70 British vessels having been detained by the Emperor Paul at Riga, is confirmed by many letters received by the mail. It is reported that 160 ships have been stopped at St. Petersburg, and as the embargo would certainly extend to Archangel, it is believed that no fewer than 300 in all have been detained.
Bonaparte exults in the failure of the negotiation between Kleber and the Ottoman Cabinet. He also urges the power of the north to shake off what he is pleased to term the "Tyranny which oppresses their commerce and their seas; mentions Russia, in particular, who "knows that France is a necessary counterpoise in the maritime balance of the world."
This paper adds "Nothing is wanting to realize all the moderate pretensions of the French rulers—but peace." "And if we do not yet enjoy it (say they) we have to accuse that power, (England of course,) which is unaffected by the disasters of the Continent."
Government has taken up the aggression for our late magnanimous ally with becoming spirit. A Cabinet Council was yester-
day held on this important business, at which were present his Grace the Duke of Portland, the Earls of Chatham and Spencer, the Lord Chancellor, Lord Grenville, the Attorney-General, and Sir Stephen Cottle, Clerk of the Council. The deliberations continued for three hours, and the result was a determination to make reprisals, by laying an embargo on all the Russian ships in British ports.
Orders were sent off last night to the different out-ports, to carry the resolution of Council into effect.
DEC. 2.
Two o'clock, P. M.
Yesterday arrived the Hamburg mail, due on Wednesday last. It contains the important intelligence, which we mentioned in our last, that the Emperor of Russia had laid an Embargo on all the British shipping in the ports of his dominions. It is also stated, on the authority of private letters from Hamburg, that in addition to this act of violent aggression, he has thrown the captains of these vessels into prison.
Mr. Sheridan mentioned this circumstance last night in the House of Commons; and as it was not contradicted, nor veiled, we apprehend the haughty Autocrat has at once resigned himself to the influence of his passions:—But he will find that the vengeance of this country is not asleep, and that the honor of the nation is not to be sullied by the breath of impotent resentment, or that the government of this country is to be hurried into any acts unworthy of itself, by the captious conduct of even the self-created Grand Master of Malta.
Some of the ships which were at Narva and Riga, made their escape and have reached Elsinore. The number detained is estimated at 300. Their cargoes are of considerable value. The report of the sequestration of British property throughout Russia, is also current; and it is also reported, that an order has been signed by Paul, that passports should be delivered to every Russian ship that sails containing a notification that if the ship should be attempted to be visited by the English, the same shall be regarded as a Declaration of War.
Though no embargo on Russian ships in English ports has been ordered, there being none to stop that we can hear of, measures of a nature equally hostile were resolved on in the council held at Buckingham house on Friday. The Russian merchants, feeling the oppression and injustice of being called on to pay to persons in Russia, for cargoes which they have so little chance of obtaining, applied to Government for an Order of Council, prohibiting the payment of bills from Russia, or otherwise remitting money thither. This order was made by the King in Council, after consulting the attorney and solicitor generals on the subject. In the mean time, the merchants held another meeting, and resolved that they should pay the bills they had accepted, but that they should accept no more.
It is said that ministers have sent off an order to Lord Keith in the Mediterranean, to detain all Russian vessels that may at present be found in that quarter.
RUSSIA.
In the House of Commons, 20th inst. Mr. Nicholas suggested the propriety of detaining Russian subjects, and seizing Russian property in England as a security for British property detained and seized in Russia. He said he did not wish to make any specific motion upon the subject but merely to suggest the propriety of the measure to his Majesty's Ministers.
What may be the issue of a contest, which may thus be said to be absolutely commenced, no human foresight can possibly determine. It seems likely however, that the court of Prussia is even now concerned in this new turn of affairs. The letters from Hamburg compared with the contents of the French papers, serve to throw some light on the matter. A letter from Bremen informs us, that 2000 Prussian troops, with twenty-five pieces of cannon, were actually on their march to take possession of Cuxhaven and Ritzebuttel; they were to pass through Bremen on the 19th; and it was rumoured that an army of 60,000 men were actually under orders for immediate service. The letters from Hamburg confirm this intelligence, and add that the Senate are not averse to the King of Prussia's determination to occupy Cuxhaven and its neighbouring port, as it will free them from the disquietude to which they are incessantly subject by being placed between a number of great and jealous powers, and made constantly the victim of their contentions. By the papers from France it is also clearly manifest that the two courts of St. Petersburg and Berlin are agreed. The Elector Palatine is said to be treating for a separate peace under their recommendation; and in the official paper with which Bonaparte has opened the session of the Legislature, he gives hopes to the people that the Emperor of Russia will see his true interest, and will know that France must be the balancing power in preserving the freedom of the seas. The next mail from Hamburg will give us the important details of this new attack on the British Empire.
The Prussian Armies in Motion. LONDON, DEC. 2.
The Hamburg mail confirms the report of the capture of Cuxhaven by the King of Prussia. On the 21st ult. 1800 Prussian troops entered that town, and the arrival of five battalions more was hourly expected. All our shipping in that port immediately sailed for the Roads to avoid being seized. His Prussian Majesty attempts to justify this act, as a measure of necessity and precaution, in consequence of a Prussian vessel being carried into that neutral port by an English ship of war. It is easy to see that Russia and Prussia were determined to act in concert, and that they are determined to try the question of our right to visit Neutral ships, especially if they can enlist any other power under their banner, either by threats or persuasion, and we shall not be surprised to find, that the influence may extend some what farther we shall then be able to distinguish our foes from our pretended friends. Mr. Sheridan, in the course of his speech last night, touched on this question in these words: "Without giving any opinion upon that dispute, with-
out saying whether any guarantee could be given with respect to ships under convoy of Neutral Powers, I have no hesitation in stating, that if the privilege we contended for be that under which our naval greatness has grown, which is at once the boast, the glory, and the security of England; which has been recognized in all treaties, and which is part of the maritime law of Europe; if, I repeat, it be that privilege, I have no hesitation in saying, that it is the charter of our excellence, the banner under which we should all rally; it is the flag, which, imitating the example of our gallant seamen, we should aid nail to the mast of the nation, and go down with the vessel, rather than forsake it."
Accounts from Egypt.
It has been long predicted, that the Emperor of Russia would extend his views to Turkey. At this moment he is demanding an indemnity from the Porte for the expenses of his fleet in the maritime campaign; a prelude, no doubt, to a rupture, with that feeble cabinet. Preparations for the war continue with increased exertions.
Every account from Egypt agrees in the determination of the French to retain that country. Menou had been joined by several Bays and their partisans, particularly in the south; and had embodied and disciplined all the Greeks able to bear arms, not excepting the crews of the Turkish transports and other vessels which had fallen into his hands. General Kleber had begun lines about Alexandria, previous to the convention of El Arish. These Menou was perfecting, and adding to them several redoubts and batteries.
The last Hamburg Mail brought letters from Constantinople to the 10th of October inclusive, at which time the Russian fleet continued at anchor off Boyouk Derch, in expectation of orders, in consequence of the surrender of Malta to the English, countermanding those which would otherwise require them to proceed to the Black Sea. The state of the capital of Turkey was very uneasy, and much apprehension was entertained from the unaccountable stay in the Bosphorus, of the Russian fleet.
Miscellaneous Articles.
VENICE, OCT. 28.
The French have required from the city of Florence a contribution of two millions of livres, from Leghorn two millions, from Pisa one million and in proportion from the other towns in the Grand Duchy of Tuscany.
LONDON, NOV. 28.
Letters from the continent mention, that Bonaparte refused the request made by Count Cobentzl in the emperor's name, to admit the Neapolitan ambassador, marquis de Gailo, to the Congress at Lunéville.
The bill to prohibit the use of coin, in distilleries and starch manufactories, until the 1st of January, 1802, was read a third time in the House of Peers, and passed last Wednesday.
DEC. 2.
It can scarce be doubted but some secret league has long subsisted between the First Consul and the magnanimous Sovereign who declare his disinterestedness before Heaven and Earth; who arraigned the ambition of Austria, and threatened the States of Germany with the abandonment of the general cause, if they would not sacrifice, like himself, all local and personal views to the common object. Malta, however, seems to have entirely effected both the common cause and the solemn declaration from the memory of his Imperial Majesty; and the Swedish Enigma appears about to be explained by a complete inversion of the sentiments and character of his Councils. Letter from Mr. Penrose, to Lord Grenville, dated, Florence, Oct. 16.
It is with the greatest satisfaction that I acquaint your Lordship, that the property of his Majesty's subjects at Leghorn has been as well as circumstances would permit, prevented from falling into the hands of the enemy, under the protection of his Majesty's ships of war stationed at that port, off which a frigate will still remain, to prevent any vessels from going in.
The BREST FLEET has put to sea.

NEW-YORK, Jan. 12.
The plague is committing dreadful ravages in Andalusia 11,000 have died. In Seville 21,000. In Acres from 160 to 200 die per day. The utmost consternation prevails. It is approaching the borders of Portugal, and is supposed to sweep off one sixth of the population of the places through which it passes. But a small proportion of women die. This disorder begins with violent pains in the limbs and head ache, a strong fever, and reaches its paroxysm by the 4th day. Many die with the black vomit, and their bodies turn yellow.
A letter from Washington, received on Thursday last, states, on the authority of the Secretary of the navy, that the frigate Insurgent, and the Pickering have been lost. Particulars are not mentioned.
The Insurgent and Pickering, we believe, were ordered off Cayenne.

The report of the postponement of the further consideration of the new treaty with France, was not confirmed by the papers or letters received on Saturday evening from the seat of government; we therefore presume that the thing is still before the Senate, and that they are engaged in determining the issue of its merits.

PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 20.
THE EUROPEAN INTELLIGENCE, Comprised in this day's paper, is important.
The war between France and Austria, which has been suspended for sometime by the armistice, appears about to be renewed. The hopes of the friends of peace, in this respect, now rest merely on the declaration of Bonaparte, in his discourse on the state of the republic in which he suggests the possibility of the pacific conferences proceeding at Lunéville, notwithstanding the "denunciation" of the armistice, which he denominates a precautionary measure. The distance also, of the time assigned for the recommencement of hostilities after notification of the end of the armistice, leaves room for further amicable arrangements. But should a peace be "patched up" between France and Austria—it would doubtless be an exclusive one. This event, however, may be prevented by the new wars which appear about to commence.
These accounts exhibit hostile dispositions and measures on the part of Russia and Prussia towards Great Britain. The former power has embargoed all the British ships in her ports, and is reported to have thrown the captains into prison, seized all the British property, within her territory, and directed that an attempt on the part of British cruisers to search Russian ships shall be considered a declaration of war. The British government, in consequence, immediately adopted prudent and spirited measures. The precise grounds of the hostility of the Emperor PAUL and of the King of Prussia, and their objects, are unknown. We have never heard of any depredations, by the British, on the commerce of either of those powers. The Emperor
perhaps, is displeased with the Court of London, for the disposition evinced to disperse his right and title to the island of Malta. But it is probable the Russians and Prussians, are urged to war, by a jealousy, fomented by the French, of the great and growing power of Great Britain. The Prussians, it is asserted, have taken Cuxhaven, a place belonging to the British, situated on the river Elbe, where the Packets, delivered and received continental mails.
The Russians appear to have found, what it was presumed they would seek, a pretence for a war with the Turks.
MATRIMONIAL LOTTERY.
A young man of good character, and of a fine figure, proposes a lottery in The Bordeaux Journal. The conditions are not hard. All the widows and maidens, who have not attained the age of 32, are invited to take of him a ticket at the price of 25 francs. There are to be 4,000 of these tickets.—Only one number is to be drawn from the wheel, and the fortune holder is to gain the young man for a husband, and to partake with him the 100,000 francs produced by the lottery.
The Legislature of Virginia, has it in contemplation a plan for opening a communication between the Great Western Waters, and the Potomac, by a turnpike road. For this purpose, a subscription for 50,000 dols. is opened.

MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
Arrived at Boston on 15th instant, brig Washington, Ricker, of Portsmouth, from Surinam. Sailed from thence Nov. 27. Nov. 25, within 3 leagues of St. Lucia, was captured by a French Schooner privateer of 10 guns, out from Guadeloupe. A prize master, and 5 other men were put on board the Washington, and all the persons taken from her except capt. R. and a black man. The privateer then departed. Nov. 28, off Dominica, at 5 in the morning, two of the Frenchmen being on the fore-top-sail yard, rigging out the steering sails, and one about half-way up the shrouds, proceeding to offshoot. Capt. R. proposed to the blackman an attempt to retake the vessel. Two of the three Frenchmen who remained below were on the forecastle, and the third was at the helm. The captain armed himself with a broken pump-handle, while the black man's weapon was the cook's axe. Capt. R. proposed that the negro should assist him in one of the men on the forecastle, while he attacked the person at the helm. This plan was executed. The captain knocked his man down and threw him into the cabin. The negro also gave his blow; but the Frenchman recovered from his instantly, and drawing his knife rushed towards the captain—but a timely application of the pump handle stopped his course, and reduced him to the situation of his comrade in the cabin, in whose company he was soon placed. In the mean while the negro had inflicted a fatal blow on the other Frenchman (the prize master) on the forecastle, and he fell himself into the sea. The privateer then at last observed these proceedings with trembling, and the one on the shrouds jumped into the sea. After thus gaining the victory, capt. R. threw out his long boat, and placing in her a sufficiency of stores, took up the wounded men and put on board, and suffered those aloft to descend and enter it—when directing them the course to Guadeloupe, he gave them two oars, and wished them a bon voyage. Capt. R. then proceeded to Dominica, where a British cruiser soon afterwards arrived, having picked up the boat with the Frenchmen, and the man who had sprung overboard, after he had been 13 hours in the water. The long boat was again refloated. Capt. R. not being able to procure men at Dominica, proceeded to St. Kitts where he obtained seamen. From thence he sailed under convoy of the U. S. frigate Chesapeake, with a fleet, called at St. B. rts, and St. Thomas. Left the latter Island Dec. 17, under the same convoy, in co. with a fleet of 21 sail, including two or three vessels for Boston. The frigate separated in lat. 24.—At St. Thomas capt. R. learnt that the privateer which captured him, had been taken by a British ship and carried to Martinique.
