CONTINUATION OF Late Foreign Articles
VIA NEW-YORK. LONDON, January 4. We understand that ministers have received information that the rabble of Naples, as soon as they saw their majesties embark on board the Vanguard, rose into insurrection...
The Paris papers to the 27th of January inclusive, did not come to hand on Saturday morning till after our paper was at press; but we hope that our readers will be sufficiently indemnified by the accuracy of the account which we this day give of their contents.
The most authentic article is the letter of general Championet to the directory, dated at head quarters, Capua, January the 4th, which informs us of the exact position of the different armies at that period.
The left wing of the republicans had not advanced beyond Pescara, upon the Adriatic Gulph; the right was at Gaeta, upon the Mediterranean; and the centre before Capua. It seems wonderful, that the two former places should not have held out longer against the enemy...
It appears by letters from Florence, of the 9th ult. that on the 7th the two armies were still in sight of each other, and remained in the same position. Some journalists, however, pretend, that our government is in possession of dispatches of a more recent date...
The king of Naples, after having experienced some impediment to his embarkation, occasioned by the Lazzaroni, and after having been exposed to a dreadful tempest, had arrived at Palermo, on the 25th of Dec. on board the Vanguard, commanded by admiral Nelson.
From some private intelligence we are led to fear, that the insurrection of the Lazzaroni has occasioned, in that capital, some very sanguinary scenes.
It was upon the 4th of January, that the Neapolitans evacuated Tuscany, and that our squadron raised the blockade of Leghorn in order to preserve that country from the terrors of the French, who had already entered it under the orders of general Serurier.
But if we give credit to private reports, the Grand Duke, to preserve his neutrality, has been obliged to deliver up to them the important posts of Sault de la Biche, and they have made the republic of Lucca defray the expenses of their expedition, by means of a contribution of two millions of livers.
While the French thus march with rapid strides to the compleat conquest of Italy, they strive to lay asleep the powers of Germany by delays and evasions. Their plenipotentiaries at Rastadt continue to transmit to the directory the notes of the deputation of the empire with regard to the blockade of Ehreubriefien, and the contributions on the right bank of the Rhine.
The two Austrian ministers, in the mean time, continue to play the farce of negotiation. The count de Metternich votes for peace; the count de Lehrbach for war. Meanwhile the different plenipotentiaries beguile the tedium of their situation by feasts and assemblies.
The diet at Rastadt, passed and enervated by the torpor of the great powers, are also anxious to gain time. It has given for answer to the note concerning the march of the Russians, that no requisition had been made on their part for their passage through the territories of the empire.
It is rumored, that a kind of dissolution of the Germanic body is projected; that the king of Prussia has pretensions upon different parts of Westphalia; and that he is now making great preparations to assert them.
On the part of the emperor, great movements are taking place, among the Austrian and Bavarian troops in Bavaria, which may perhaps conceal some great mystery, which time will at length develop. The orders and counter orders to the Austrian generals rapidly succeed each other. The emperor has reviewed the Russians at Brunn, on the 28th and 29th of December; but accounts are contradictory with regard to the subsequent march.

At Vienna they always seem disposed to justify the... ARMY OF ROME.  Extract from the report sent to the Minister at War, by Bonaparte, General of Brigade, and chief of the Staff of the army of Rome.  Head Quarters at Tora, Jan. 4. Citizen Minister, The General in Chief sends to the Directory an account of the difficulties he has had to surmount the taking possession of Pescara and Gatta, and finally in conducting the right wing of the army before Capua.
An unpleasant piece of news, if it be confirmed, is the death of prince Frederick of Orange, commander in chief of the Austrian army in Italy, a most promising young warrior, whose loss will be severely lamented. If it be true, that there exists upon the continent a great power, who, in this general wreck of all social order, consoles itself by the destruction of the ancient house of Bourbon, its wishes will ere long be completely fulfilled. The branch of Spain, the only one which remains upon the throne, is now upon the books of the directory, and is the order of the day. It is against it that they will direct their projects as soon as they have completed the conquest of the kingdom of Naples. Then will come the turn of the house of Austria, for it to all kings without exception, that they have sworn eternal hatred, and it is against them that they renew each year the oath of regicide.
Although our fortunate situation and the triumphs of our navy, the vigilance of our government and the patriotism of the nation seem to render it impossible for the enemy to relate us to that state of degradation to which they have sunk so many other states, yet it appears by the speech of the minister of marine, that the directory have not abandoned the design of depriving us of the empire of the seas. But if these vain threats do not intimidate us, they ought always make us persevere against an enemy whose inexhaustible resources increase by the spoils of so many other nations.
For the rest, no country has performed its part in a more meritorious or illustrious manner. The resources which we have displayed are immense; for we have upheld, during the space of six years, the tottering fabric of the European states. By the victory of the Nile, we have furnished the powers on the continent with the invaluable means of resuming their attendance against the common enemy of the inhuman race. We have omitted nothing that could give to their councils an energy suitable to their dignity. If they blindly persist in running the road to ruin, we may wash our hands of it, and bend the whole of our exertions and our hopes towards the inflicting of our own safety, to that amidst this genuine destruction we may preserve, for more peaceable times, the seeds of restoration, and a port, and asylum to shelter those who may escape from the general shipwreck.
Advices from Egypt, by the way of Constantinople, speak of an engagement between the advanced division of the army of the Pasha of Damas, and a detachment of that of Buonaparte. They add that the French sustained some loss, and that the Pasha intended to attack them more vigorously as soon as he had received his reinforcements. But the news from Constantinople have so often deceived us, that we may suspend our belief upon every thing that comes through that channel.
As to the arrival of general Berthier in Corsica, it seems to be a report of the same kind with that of his former arrival at Marseilles and at Bordeaux, which turned out to be false. A piece of intelligence which appears more worthy of credit is, the manifesto of the Directory against France.
The report of the emperor's interference to save Naples by negotiation is very improbable. We see how little his influence can procure for Germany; and he cannot be expected to save from the hands of the French so rich a prize as Naples affords. We understand that admiral Nelson, in some private letters, describes the storm he met between Naples and Palermo as the most terrible he ever witnessed; and states that which he formerly met with off Sardinia, and in which the Vanguard was disabled, to have been trifling in comparison with the late hurricane in the Mediterranean.
The expectation entertained of the Neapolitan dominions becoming the subject of negotiation at Rastadt must be unfounded. The French will first seize them, and then any discussion about their right will be fruitless. The flight of the king of Naples must have facilitated the progress of the French. The people will scarcely defend with zeal that cause which its leader, the person most deeply interested, abandons.
The design which the French Directory have long entertained, of striking a blow at this country through Portugal, has been discovered; we hope reasonably by ministers, in order to enable them to defeat it. The French cherish the hope, that without naval means they will be able to direct the weight of their military force in such a manner as to counterbalance the influence of our naval victories; and to wrest from us the new acquired ascendancy in the Mediterranean. The nullity of the Spanish government prevents them with an opportunity of attempting any enterprise which their policy may dictate against Portugal, and our complicated interests, involved in its fate. The attack has long been mediated, and recent events have given the French government time and leisure for its attempt. It appears, however, that ministers are fully aware of the danger, and are taking measures to avert it. Transports for the conveyance both of infantry and cavalry for the defence of the kingdom of Portugal are taken up. It certainly is of the utmost importance to oppose the design which the enemy meditate. Although the French army, commanded by Augereau, were prepared for the expedition, the palace of the Pyrenees would for some time retard his departure, after which he has a tedious march of more than six hundred miles to perform. This delay will enable government to take every precaution requisite for the defence of a kingdom, which both in peace and war is so nearly connected
with the interests of the British empire. Yesterday morning General Tarleton, with his lady and suite, left town in order to embark for Portugal. In addition to the force which this country may spare for the assistance of the Portuguese, it will be of great importance that time should be given to organize and animate the troops of our ally, a task for which the talents of the commander are peculiarly adapted. The following conversation occurred in the Irish house of commons on Monday last night, on Sir H. Cavendish's motion respecting insults offered to members: Mr. Barrington said he had heard it stated that day in the hall of the four courts, that the right hon. baronet had declared his determination to move for the removal of the parliament to Cork, in order to secure safety in its deliberations. The right honorable attorney general said it was notorious that both the persons of members had been assaulted and abused by the most opprobrious names, their houses attacked by mobs, and themselves declared traitors to their country, for having voted in favour of union; and that certainly such attempts to overawe the parliament would warrant its removal to Cork.
By the cartels which arrived from France within these few days past, reports have reached this country later than any intelligence which has been received. In some circles it has been circulated that gen. Mack having concentrated his forces at Capua, had gained a considerable advantage over the enemy; the other is, that the king of Naples being received with the utmost loyalty and affection by his subjects in Sicily, was about to return to his continental dominions with a reinforcement of fifteen thousand men. It is difficult to say which of these stories is the most absurd. From the state of the Neapolitan army, under gen. Mack, little was to be expected. In the first glow of success they soon were worried, by an army inferior in numbers, and compelled at least to retire. The French army has since been animated by success, and strengthened by reinforcements. As to any project of the king of Naples to return to the continent of Italy—what could be his motive? Has he not experienced the inadequacy of his new levies to oppose disciplined troops, and what reason is there to suppose that fifteen thousand Sicilian recruits are superior to the new raised troops of Italy? The story is absurd on the face of it. The reason here alleged for the king's flight was, that the very disposition of his subjects shewed that all was desperate.
PLYMOUTH, Jan. 15 Came in the Air, French schooner packet, of two guns, and 20 men, from Brest, bound to St. Domingo, laden with a valuable cargo of muslins, and other merchandise; and it is said by the Frenchmen that she has much money on board; she was captured three days ago by the Clyde; of 32 guns, Captain Cunningham.
Came in the Vengeance French brig privateer, of 16 guns (12 brass), and 70 men, from Bordeaux, on a six weeks cruise, also captured by the Clyde frigate; this vessel captured the Hiram American ship that arrived here yesterday; the Clyde is also arrived in Cawsand Bay.
January 30. Arrived L'Amiable Victoire, French brig privateer, of 18 guns, with 87 men, captured yesterday off Alderney by the Triton frigate of 32 guns, Capt. J. Gore. The privateer is quite new, copper-bottomed, and failed from Cherbourg but a few hours before the Triton fell in with her.
FRANCE.  PARIS, 17 Nivose, Jan. 6. We may give implicit credit to the accounts contained in the letters from Venice, that 100,000 Ottomans are to be embarked at Adrianople, to act against the French, under the order of the Pasha of Damas. A courier dispatched by the Directory to citizen Sleyes at Berlin, arrived yesterday. It is said that the intelligence which he brings states that the Court of Berlin is determined to maintain its neutrality.
January 7. A German paper of the 22d Dec. gives an account of an attempt to set fire to the four corners of the city of Vienna. Several suspected persons have been apprehended, and soldiers parade the streets all night. The one and twenty standards taken from the Neapolitan troops were yesterday presented to the Directory by citizen Laratier, aide de camp to gen. Championet. He assured the Directory at their public sitting, that the tri-colored flag would float in a short time on the Towers of proud Naples, and on the astonished summit of Vesuvius.
Letters from Rastadt continue to assure us, that a second body of Russian troops is on its march through Hungary, on their way to the coasts of the Adriatic. The two columns that are now traversing Moravia, will proceed directly to the coast of Italy. The Cossacks of Don, that compose a part of them, came from Smolensk; they have been in motion since the last of July. A great number of the officers speak German and French. Mr. de Resch, an imperial commissary, accompanies the first division; bread and forage are furnished by the imperial magazines—every other species of provision is provided by the inhabitants, and paid for in ready money.
January 8. A letter from Milan informs us, but without mentioning any particulars, that general Mack has been made prisoner. The king of Sardinia passed by Parma. He was obliged to remain there some days, because his wife was taken ill. He thence pursued his route towards Leghorn, where he is to embark for Sardinia.
January 9. Louis Monneron, has undergone an examination before the Minister of Police, and was afterwards committed to prison.

Extract of a letter from London, dated 30th January 1st. "While we are upon that subject of blockade, it may be material that you are informed of a recent decision in doctors commons: "The Columbia, cap. Weeks, bound from New-York, to Amsterdam, ship and cargo the property of Vos and Graves, and George Barnwell, of the former city." The judge condemned both ship and cargo for a breach of the blockade of the Texel, committed by the captain in conjunction with the consignees in Hamburg; the ship having first gone to Cruxhaven for orders, and afterwards proceeded to Amsterdam, notwithstanding the knowledge of its blockade, by both consignees and master, and as the one was the undoubted agent for the cargo and the other of the ship, their acts were binding on the owners, and had clearly forfeited both ship and cargo. It was not contended, that any blame attached on the owners at New-York, the ship having failed prior to the knowledge of the blockade having reached that port."
