Late Foreign Intelligence.
NEW-YORK, October 10.
Further Extracts from London Papers by the ship Iris , Capt. Skinner.
LONDON, August 24.
Yesterday arrived a Mail from Got-henburg. The only article of intelligence it brings is a letter from that place dated the 12th, which says that the Prince of Conde, the Duke of Orleans, and another of the French Princes, are soon expected at Riga, from whence they proceed to wait upon Louis XVIII. It is conjectured that they may be employed in the Russian armies, it is said to be the intention of Alexander I. to announce his intention of maintaining the royal cause. This however is not stated in the Gotenburg letter.
We entertain considerable doubts of the truth of the reports that Russian troops have been landed in Copenhagen. The object of the measure probably would be gradually to form an army in Denmark which when completed, would march through Holstein to meet the French in the North of Germany. It seems very unlikely, however, that any Russian troops will be sent to attack the French till a co-operation, and that a very vigorous one, can be concerted. The French army in Hanover is at liberty to act, as there is no hostile army in that quarter to distract their operations; and indeed a great part of the French armies are in the North, and might be detached against any Russian force that could be transported into Denmark or Holstein. Till co-operation, either on the part of other continental powers or of this country, on a very great scale can be effected, the plan ascribed to Russia would evidently be rash and premature, and probably afford to Bonaparte the occasion of a triumph.
There was a report yesterday at the Change that accounts were received by government that the enemy had their provisions on board, and were ready to put to sea. — Things are now in a state in which there does not appear to be any obstacle to the enemy making the attempt, in as far as depends upon themselves. Their preparations if not complete, according to a pre-arranged system, appear gigantic and formidable. If our government has not adopted due precaution of defence, it can neither be from want of warning, of means or of time; and even if any thing were deficient either as to the military strength or arrangement, it would be supplied by the patriotism and energy of the nation. There seems to be a general wish that the contest were brought to a crisis.
Morn. Chron.
Attempt to poison Louis XVIII.
A long process verbal of the whole transaction was received by Monsieur, and transmitted immediately by him to the British government. Our readers may depend upon the accuracy of the following abridged statement of the case which is signed by the Archbishop of Rheims the Duke de Pienne, the Duke D'Havre de Croy, the Marquis de Bonnay, the Counte d la Chapelle, the Comte de Damas, Cruise and the Abbe Edgeworth de Feumont.
“On the 22d. July the Baron de Melleville, Equerry to the Queen of France disclosed to the St. Pienne, the plot as it had been announced to him by a person of the name of Coulon, a Frenchman, a native of Lyons, who after having been in the service of the said Baron de Melleville, had married a Polish woman and settled at Warsaw, where he kept a billiard table. This man stated, that on the preceding Friday, the 20th two persons came to his billiard room, and made many enquiries of him relative to the king, and his own situation; that the following day they returned and made fresh enquiries respecting Louis XVIII. They wished they said to know whether his Majesty went out often — by what number of men he was usually accompanied; and whether his attendants were armed or not? They then asked Coulon whether he himself was in debt, and whether he would not be glad to find an opportunity to obtain immediately a considerable sum of money for a particular service. Being answered in the affirmative, they observed to him that he was known to the persons belonging to the household of the king, he might easily obtain admission into the kitchen and if he consented to throw unperceived in the boiler ( la marmite ), a little parcel which would be given to him, his fortune would be made; four hundred Louis d'ors would be given him in the first instance, and one hundred more for every individual of the royal family who might die in the course of a twelvemonth. They added, that he was not to trouble himself about his wife for
they would take her safely to France; and when they were about to part he heard them say in Italian, “we have no time to lose; the day is come when we ought to strike.”
On the following day (Tuesday the 22d,) after many visits from them another Russian, whom Coulon had not before seen, called on him in the evening, and requested him to take a walk with him, in order that they might speak more freely on a subject of great concern, which had been mentioned to him the preceding day: in the course of their walk, they were met by one of the two who had first opened the project to Coulon answered. “Yes,” upon which they went to a house, where they ordered Champagne wine, and gave him additional instructions respecting the manner of executing the plot advising him to drink with the cook, &c. Coulon insisted on receiving some money, on account of the 400 Louis which had been promised him; upon which one of the Russians who was in liquor, said: “I don't know whether Boyer (the name of the commercial agent at Warsaw) would consent to give so large a sum.” His companion condemning this indiscretion replied: “who do you mention Boyer, he is not in town; he will not return these two days.” At last gave him a ducat to get some wine to drink with the cook, and made an appointment for the following night when they were to give him a parcel which was to be thrown into the boiler. — They parted at one o'clock in the morning.
The same day, (Sunday) Coulon disclosed the plot to the Baron de Melleville, and the Duke de Pienne, by whom it was communicated to Count d'Avaray, captain of the guards of Louis XVIII. who hastened to inform M. de Hoym, of the circumstance, and who had orders from his Prussian majesty for superintending all the concerns and safety of the French royal family.
At first, the president Hoym received the information with the most feeling emotion, and promised to mount his horse, and repair personally either to the place of rendezvous fixed by the Russians, to give the poison to Coulon, or to the spot appointed for paying him the money and setting off for France. He also promised to send persons to secure the whole gang and Coulon himself, in case he should have forged the story in order to obtain a reward. The sensibility of the president Hoym, was highly increased by the alarming reports which were spread every day of the plots to take away the life of the King at the eve of his departure for Russia.
The 23d of July, Coulon being ordered by the baron de Melleville, went to the appointed spot, at a place called the New Village, situated in the middle of the lines which surrounded Warsaw; there he was joined by one of the men, and soon after by another, who was concealed in a corn field, and who actually delivered him the parcel, and a bottle of liquor for his own use. They agreed upon a signal, by which they were to know when the deed was effected. They told him that when it was executed, he might repair to a place called Les Cinq Potences, where he would be joined by his employers, and taken to France with his wife; and incase they could not meet there he was to go to Stockayer, where he would find them at the Postmasters-house, and that he should there receive the 400 Louis. Upon his asking some money, they gave him only six crowns, alledging they had been already charated more than once.
The President Hoym, however, afraid of committing his master with the French Emperor, declined either to go or send to the appointed spot, contrary to his promise — Coulon delivered the parcel and the bottle to M. De Melleville, on the 24th in the morning. The Count d'Avaray went at ten o'clock to M. de Hoym's and presented him the parcel, which contained three cartoucs charged with arsenic. M. de Hoym from excess of fear, refused to interfere any further in the business, saying it should be referred to the Police office, and even refused to affix his seal to the parcel, which was sealed by the Archbishop of Rheims, and the Counte d'Avaray.
On that day Louis the XVIII was informed of the plot. His majesty expressed the greatest and most tender solicitude for his faithful servants, but displayed an unalterable tranquillity of mind with respect to his own personal safety. He wrote to President Hoym, who did not wait on his Majesty till the following day, and then confined himself to vague assurances that the business should be followed up with activity by the police officers.
A formal demand was made by the king, that a report should be made by an assembly of professional men, respecting the contents of the parcel, which demand being
answered in an evasive manner, the king ordered that the parcel should be opened before his own physician, M. Le Faisant aided by the Gagatki-wisch, the most eminent and respectable physician of Warsaw, Dr. Bergenzoni, and of Dr. Cueil an apothecary. One of the cartoucs being opened, was found perfectly sound, the upper part being covered with a kind of mastic or paste, of a colour similar to that of the root; the middle part was found to contain a powder, which after chymical operation was discovered to be a mixture of three different sorts of arsenic, one white, another yellow, and another red. The process verbal was signed by all present and the parcel sealed again, & sent to the police office with all the necessaries done. Upon application being made by the king to M. de Tilly, Chief magistrate for a prosecution to be instituted, that officer, acted by the same fears as M. de Hoym, declined to interfere or even to order the suspected person to be apprehended, observing that that did concern the tribunal of criminal justice, and that the law of the country did not permit him to arrest any person who had not actually been convicted of a crime!
M. le Count de la Chapelle, was left at Warsaw with full power to prosecute the business before the criminal tribunal. The king left Warsaw, on the 30th on his way to Grodno with the Duc D'Augouleme. M. de Hoym granted his majesty an escort of hussars, who had strict orders not to quit his royal person, until they had committed him to the care of a similar escort of Russians whom waited his arrival on the frontiers. The Queen and the Dutchess D'Augouleme only remained at Warsaw, until they received instructions from his majesty to join him at Welna, as soon as he has settled in that city.”
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 21.
Latest from Europe.
Yesterday arrived ship Active , captain Jones, from London, by him we received our file of London papers to the evening of the 29th of August, on which day he left London; but he did not leave the Downs till the 10th of September; while he lay in the Downs, a brush took place between some of the English ships and the French Gun-Boats, in which an English cutter was sunk and the British received other damage. The following are the only interesting articles in the papers which we have received.
GENOA, August 2.
The English fleet, under the command of Lord Nelson, blockades our harbour very closely, and is resolved to attempt the destruction of the 3 ships of war, which are building here for the French.
PARIS, August 10.
Travellers from Boulogne say, that the first division of the troops there is already embarked. No person can be absent from his corps an instant. All the troops have orders to be ready to embark in 24 hours. Since the Emperor has arrived at Boulogne four couriers have been dispatched to the North. It is said, that the Emperor will not leave the coast before the whole expedition has sailed. The general opinion is, that it will be immediately undertaken.
It is said, that General Calincourt, who took the Duke of Enghein, at Ettenheim, died suddenly at Boulogne.
The troops on the coast are regularly eighteen hours in the twenty-four under arms; and the Emperor often commands them in person, for six or eight hours together. Those on board the flotilla move from four o'clock in the morning to eight o'clock in the evening.
The following particulars are to be added to what we have heard of the English bombardment of Havre: “It is to the two gun-boats, and eight other vessels, which sailed out, carrying 24 pounders, that we owe the salvation of the town. A bomb fell upon the house of Mr. Feret, a relative to the Marine Prefect, Foreait, and penetrated through each story of the building. Another bomb made a dreadful explosion in a house appropriated for boarding young ladies, all of whom was happily absent. A soldier also received a dangerous wound in the head, from the falling of a tile from the roof of the prison, loosened by a bomb. During the three hours, the period of the bombardment, the troops patrolled the streets with buckets of water, while the engines were kept in readiness to play.”
“The emigration from Havre was so great, in consequence of the late bombardment, and the expectation of another visitation, that the Prefect Forfait, found it necessary to prohibit the departure of the inhabitants, lest the place should be wholly deserted by them.”

AMSTERDAM, Aug. 14.
According to official accounts from Batavia of the 20th of February, the Batavian squadron under the command of Admiral Hertzink, had arrived there in good condition.
GOTTENBURGH, (Sweden) Aug. 20.
A Russian fleet of 3 sail of the line, and 3 frigates, is expected immediately to cruise in the North Sea. Orders have been received here to shew them every attention and hospitality, should they at any time make this port.
LONDON, Aug. 25.
Public rumor fixes the time for the enemy's attempt to invade us at no great distance. The cock boats at Boulogne, it is said have taken their provisions and stores on board, and the visit of Bonaparte to the coast, where he is still believed to be, had for object the hastening the preparations for this grand enterprize. We do not, however, believe that the expectation of immediate invasion rests on any real intelligence that has transpired from the other side of the channel. We rather think they are chiefly surmises founded on the circular letter of Lord Hawkesbury to the lords Lieutenants of Counties, containing regulations for the preservation of good order in the case of actual invasion, of which we yesterday laid a copy before our readers.
The public ought not to allow themselves to be alarmed by those measures adopted by government for their security. They ought to produce a directly contrary effect, and only one sentiment in the people. Namely, to be ready to obey in the hour of danger, should such a necessity occur, the orders that may be issued by those who are to direct the political and physical strength of the country.
Whatever may be the state of the enemy's preparations, our countrymen may be assured our means of defence are equal to them. We have now a great land force upon the coast, and means have been provided to transport much larger in a very short time to any part where their service may be wanted. Our naval force on the enemy's coast has also been augmented by a squadron which sailed from the Downs on Thursday, under the command of Lord Keith, consisting of his own ship, the Monarch, several frigates, and some sloops, and bombs.
The several gun boats in the river are ordered to proceed without delay to the Downs and for the purpose of accelerating them as much as possible petitioners from Greenwich Hospital are to assist in equipping them. The French prisoners are immediately to be removed from the coast.
The government has determined on buying up several castles, or strong built mansions in the country parts of Ireland, under the General Defence Act, to serve as military stations, or deposits. They have commenced with the purchase of Portumna Castle, the seat of the Earl of Clanrickard, near the banks of the Shannon.

SQUADRON OFF BREST.
Tuesday Evening
I wrote to you by the Queen, and nothing has since occurred worthy mention. The enemy remains precisely as he was, and we are in statu quo.
The importation of American rice has, within a short period, risen from 30 to 44s. per cwt.; and Indian rice, from 16s. to 28s.
The importation of wheat from the continent, continues abundant; about 30,000 quarters of wheat were received from Danzig, Embden and Holland; and about 7000 quarters of oats, from Embden, Toningen, and Holland. The price of grain, however, continues to advance, and the speculations of our corn jobbers will probably convert the present season of plenty into dearth, if some measures be not speedily adopted to defeat their nefarious practices.
Cotton wool, with some slight exceptions, has fallen in price during the last week; immense quantities have, within that period, been imported from Lisbon and the West Indies.
The prices of sugars continue falling; most sorts of refined sugars sunk four to six shillings per cwt. last week, and some of the moist sugars were two to four cheap.
The Bath paper which reached us yesterday says: "In consequence of the late report of blight amongst the wheat crops, several gentlemen have made a fortnight's tour for the purpose of examining and taking samples of the crops in the various parts of Wiltz, Hants, Berks, Gloucester, and Worcester. They report, that in many instances where the crops appeared very much affected and the straw black the ears
contained the full number of grains, which are of the usual size, except in one or two fields, and in another the crop was much laid and blighted; but a sample which was taken, was found equal in bulk to prime wheat of last year. In most parts, however, the wheat has not been in the least affected, so that the harvest will afford a fair average crop."
August 27.
Two Hamburg mails arrived yesterday. They do not confirm the account before received of Russian troops having been landed at Copenhagen. They mention the appearance of a Russian fleet in that quarter, but state there were no troops on board. The fleet consists of nine sail of the line, and several frigates.
It seems now extremely probable, that Alexander will soon declare openly his intention of resisting by force the ambitious projects of the French ruler, and we may soon expect his fleet to co-operate with ours.
It is also currently reported, that on Saturday orders were sent to Chatham, to prepare for victualling a Russian squadron.
Accounts from Germany state that the Russian Charge d'Affairs at Paris, M. d'Oubril, had given in a declaration from his court, insisting on the evacuation of Hanover and the Napolitan States, and an indemnification for Sardinia, &c. This is very probable. These are the points of detail which the Moniteur previously alludes to in a late article, as having been brought in discussion by Russia. In the temper which the Emperor of Russia has lately shown, and on the system which he has seemed to pursue, these points of detail will not be so easily abandoned, or allowed to sleep, as they have hitherto been. If they are rejected, as they are likely to be, the emperor of Russia, will make these, and other grounds of complaint, against the French Emperor, the subject of a Manifesto. It was reported that M. d'Oubril had quitted Paris; but no mention of that fact is made in the latest foreign journals.

A letter from Leipzig, dated August 14, says, "According to the latest accounts from Warsaw, the story of the attempt to poison the count de Lille and his family on a more strict examination proves to be the invention of this billiard table keeper, Coulon, with a view to obtain money. He and his wife are arrested; and we shall probably soon learn more of the particulars."
Corn Exchange, Aug. 29.
The late and present fine weather, with a better ascertained state of the wheat crops, and large importations, having dispelled all apprehensions of scarcity, these considerations, with a most uncommon supply for this day's market, have lowered the price 6s and 7s per quarter on the fine, and rather more on the inferior sorts. Barly malt and other articles partaking of the fall in wheat, are likewise cheaper, excepting oats, (a short supply) which maintain last weeks prices, flour is full 3s. per sack lower.

DOVER, August 25.
This day about noon the atmosphere being remarkably clear, we could perceive with the naked eye clouds of smoke arising from the French coast near Boulogne. On looking with glasses we could discover a French lugger and a gun-boat creeping along the shore, as if from Calais, on their way to join the Boulogne squadron, and two of our gun brigs in pursuit endeavouring to cut them off; but the French vessel kept so well in shore under the protection of the batteries, kept up a tremendous fire along the shore for several miles, the smoke ascending in perpendicular columns from each battery.
Ever since the squall about a month ago, which wrecked several French gun-boats on the shore at Boulogne, and threw their whole armada into confusion and dismay, they have ventured out but in small numbers, not more than thirty at a time. This day about 70 or 100 of their vessels are outside the harbour, taking an airing, and our fleet, of about twenty ships of war, is watching them close, out of reach of the land batteries, but by all we can learn we have no
reason to suppose any important movement is at hand.

(Savannah Paper.)
Extract of a letter written by a Factor in Liverpool, dated August 4, 1804.
"The 5 bales of cotton per Cleopatra which you call silk sea island, we have examined very carefully and in our opinion they are not much better than upland cotton, being both short in staple, coarse and weak. We apprehend that many uplands if they were cleaned with the roller gin would be equally as good. It has not any affinity to line Sea-Island; and we cannot calculate on any price at present beyond about 20d per lb. From this you can be governed in your future purchases and of course it will not answer for your Planters to encourage the growth of this kind in preference to Sea-Island."
D'Israeli states, that the most antient mode of writing was on cinders, on bricks, and on tables of stone; afterwards on plates of various materials, on ivory, and similar articles.
In the book of Job, mention is made of the custom of writing on stone, and on sheets of lead. It was on tables of stone that Moses received the law written by the finger of God himself. The Gauls, in the time of Caesar, wrote on tables; but of what they were composed is not known. This manner of writing we still retain, in respect to inscriptions, epitaphs, and such memorials as we are desirous should reach posterity.
These early inventions led to the discovery of tables of wood; and as cedar is incorruptible because of its bitterness, they chose this wood for their most important writings. From this custom arises the celebrated expressions of the ancients, when they want to give the highest eulogium of an excellent work, that it was worthy to be written on cedar. These tablets were made of the trunk of trees; the use of them still exists, but in general they are made of other materials than wood. The same reason which led to prefer the cedar to the other trees induced them to write on cedar which is incorruptible from its nature. Men generally used it to write their testaments, in order the better to preserve them.
Saint Isidore of Seville testifies that the Greeks and Tuscans were the first who used wax to write on. They wrote with an iron bodkin, as they did on the other substances which we have noticed. But the Romans having forbidden the use of this instrument, they substituted a stylas made of the bone of a bird, or other animal; so that their writings resembled engravings. They also employed reeds cut in the form of pens.
In the progress of time, the art of writing consisted in painting with different kinds of ink. This novel mode of writing occasioned them to invent other materials proper to receive their writing. They now chose the thin pell of certain trees, plants, and even skins of animals, which were prepared for this purpose. The first place where they began to prepare these skins was Pergamos, in Africa. This is the origin of the Latin name from whence we have derived that of parchment. These skins are, however, better known amongst the authors of the purest Latin, under the name of membrana. They were so called because of the remembrance of the animals, of which they were composed. The ancients had parchment of three different colours white, yellow and purple. At Rome, white parchment was disliked, because it was more subject to be soiled than the others and dazzled the eye. They generally wrote in letters of gold and silver on purple parchment. This custom continued in the early ages of the church; and there are yet extant written copies of the evangelists of this kind; of which specimens are preserved in the British Museum.
The Egyptians on their side employed for writing the bark or pith of a plant called papyrus. Formerly there grew great quantities of it on the sides of the Nile. It is this plant which has given the name to our paper, although it is composed of
linen rags. The Chinese make their paper with silk. The honor of inventing paper is due to the town of Memphis in Egypt.
