By accounts received from the armament of Sir James Pulteney, and rear admiral Sir John Borlase Warren, of the 2d instant, we learn that the troops were to proceed to the Mediterranean, under convoy of the Gibraltar and Ajax line of battle ships, and that the rear admiral and the remainder of the Squadron were to return to join the grand fleet under Earl St. Vincent.
The report of this morning, in consequence of dispatches having been received yesterday from Lord Keith in the Mediterranean, is that a revolt of the French army in Egypt has taken place since the death of General Kleber, and that a deputation has been sent to the English admiral from the majority, proposing to evacuate the country on the terms originally signed at El Arish.
Lord Londonderry lies dangerously ill at Lord Castlereagh's house in Cleveland row, where a consultation of the faculty was yesterday held.
From the London Gazette of Sept 15.
Admiralty Office, September 15.
Copy of a letter from Rear Admiral Sir John Borlase Warren, to Earl St. Vincent, K.B.
Renown, Vigo-Bay, Sept 2.
My Lord, I beg leave to inform you that, on having ordered captain Hood of the Courageux to lead into this bay, I received a letter from him on the same evening, and immediately ordered two boats from the ship, the Impetueux and London, and refer your Lordship to a letter which accompanies this, for the account of a gallant action performed by the boats of captain Hood's detachment, under lieutenant Burk's orders, whose merit upon this as well as other former occasions will, I trust, induce your Lordship to recommend him to the favour of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, more especially as he has been severely wounded in the service.
[Signed]
J. WARREN.
His Majesty's ship Courageux, Vigo Bay, Aug. 30.
Sir,
Perceiving yesterday afternoon the French privateer in the harbour had removed for security near the narrows of Redondella, close to the batteries, where I thought there was a probability of her being attacked with success; I ordered two boats from each ship named in the margin, with those of the Renown, Impetueux, and London, you sent me, and 4 from the Courageux, commanded by lieutenants, volunteering their services, to be ready at nine o'clock, and placed them under the direction of Lieut. Burke, of the Renown, whose gallant conduct has so often merited your commendation.
Our loss has been as per enclosed list, the greater part occasioned by the desperate conduct of her commander, who was mortally wounded, two much praiseworthy efforts were given to those deserving officers and men who so gallantly supported Lieut. Burke, and towed her out with much coolness through the fire of the enemy's batteries.
(Signed)
SAMUEL HOOD.
A report of the killed, wounded, and missing. Lieut. Henry Burke of the Renown, wounded.
Lieut. John Henry Holmes and James Nourse, to the Courageux, slightly wounded.

Extract of a letter from an officer in the 52d regiment, dated off Ferrol, August 27, 1800.
"We landed at this place on the 25th instant, with little or no opposition, and marched the same evening to the grounds commanding the town and forts, where we were attacked by above 2000 Spaniards, who were soon driven in, with considerable loss on their side—ours was but trifling—I did not know the exact number, but suppose not more than 50 killed and wounded.
Extract of a letter from on board the Channel Fleet, off Ushant, dated the 3d of September, 1800.
"The Speedwell revenue cutter joined the fleet last night, with the unpleasant news of the failure of the expedition which sailed from Quiberon Bay under Rear Admiral Sir J. B. Warren and Sir E. Pellew.
We understand that there was no less than eleven sail of Spanish ships of the line in the harbour of Ferrol; which would of course have fallen into our hands, had we made ourselves masters of that place.
We understand that a colony of Chinese have lately settled at Tonon, where they have erected a small fort and a garrison of about fifty soldiers.
It is asserted, in letters from the Hague, that the Dey of Algiers has ordered his corsairs to take all English merchant ships which they shall meet with.
September 12.
Letters from the army under the command of Sir James Pulteney, dated on the 1st instant, from Vigo Bay, on the coast of Spain, concur in stating from the general opinion in the fleet, that Gibraltar would be the next rendezvous of the armament, and they were expected to put to sea again from Vigo Bay on the 2d instant.
We last night received, by express, Paris papers to the 9th instant. Their contents are not entitled to particular notice. It is only remarkable, with how much care all mention of negotiation or communication with this country is avoided.
These papers were brought to Dover by a neutral vessel, which arrived there from Calais yesterday.
Yesterday arrived the Hamburg mail due on Wednesday. Its contents relate almost exclusively to the notice which has been given by the French generals throughout the whole line, of the cessation of the armistice, and the consequences which it is supposed will result from that event.
An article from the banks of the Maine, represents the preparations for war in that quarter, as being made by the French with great activity.
His Imperial Majesty has ordered that the same honours shall be paid by the garrison of Vienna to Admiral Nelson, as are paid to Foreign Ambassadors.
In consequence of the suspicions entertained by Government, that a party in France is endeavouring to pillage this country, by gambling in our funds, the Duke of Portland has determined to end every alien out of the country, who is known to be concerned in such transactions.
Stocks.—Three per cent. 65 1/2.
September 10.
Lord Malmesbury has had since his arrival in town, several conferences with Mr. Pitt and Lord Grenville.
According to advices received from General Sir Ralph Abercrombie, we learn that Graham had been sent with 4000 troops and a numerous train of artillery to the attack of Malta.

General Moreau is charged with conducting operations of the right wing of the army, and making the necessary dispositions for attack.
We have received official intelligence that the cessation of the armistice has been announced at all points to the Austrian generals, and that hostilities will be immediately recommenced.
BRUSSELS, Sept. 3.
The accounts from the banks of the Rhine state, that all the French and Batavian troops which remained on the banks of the Rhine and Nidda, had received orders to advance towards the Mein.
VIENNA, August 23.
Among the conditions contained in the preliminaries offered by the French government, one is that part of Suabia, which is united to the Helvetic republic; but to this our court will not consent.
According to letters from Italy, the French have again evacuated the territory of Lucca, they have also withdrawn their troops from Pefaro.
FRANKFORT, August 27.
Yesterday afternoon the adjutant general Mafabeau went to the head-quarters of the Austrian general Baron de Simbschen, and notified to him, on the part of the French government, the cessation of the armistice, and the renewal of hostilities, at the end of ten days, conformably to what had been agreed upon by each party.
The Austrians, who are on the opposite bank of the Mein, on the side of Hanau, will retire to-morrow to Banberg, to avoid being cut off.
PRAGUE, Aug. 16.
A Proclamation has just been published throughout the kingdom of Bohemia dated the 27th of July, which invites all faithful subjects who are disposed to march to the frontiers to defend their religion, their property, and their Sovereign, to make a declaration of arms they possess, in order that those who are in want may be provided.

The advanced guard of the Army of Reserve commanded by the General of Division Rey, has arrived in the environs of Berne, from whence it will continue to march to Lucerne.
division of the army of reserve is expected in the environs of Berne; it is that commanded by general Baraguay D'Hilliers.
A fort of a secret ferment still pervades several countries of Helvetia. The inhabitants of almost all the cantons manifest great aversion to the revolution of the 7th of August, because nearly all the representatives of the country have been sent home, and the sitting of the primary and electoral assemblies, to which the Swiss looked forward with anxiety, have been indefinitely adjourned.
AUSBOURG, Aug. 24.
In the representations addressed to the emperor by the circle of Franconia, the states declare that they can no longer continue to pay their contingents with the army of the Empire, unless his majesty can alleviate the burthen of the contribution of six millions, which has been imposed by general Moreau.
The commissaries who have been sent into France, are convinced, it is said, of counterfeiting the signature of the general in chief, and the seal of the republic, for the purpose of raising heavy contributions.
BELFAST, September 16.
The report that his royal highness the Duke of Kent was immediately to take upon him the government of this kingdom, we are authorised to state, is totally unfounded; it being an event, if ever in the contemplation of the British cabinet, that in all probability will not take place during the present war, or at least not in the entangled, critical and untoward state of politics at this time.
It is with concern we state, that the English papers lately received, contain accounts of disturbances in different parts of the country on account of an unexpected raise in the price of provisions.
LISBON, August 26.
A grand State Council was held yesterday, which lasted many hours; at the conclusion of which the members adjourned to the chapel, where they remained at prayers above three hours more.

M. MCCONNELL, Chesnut street, No. 143.
In publishing the number of votes given in the Legislature of New-Jersey, for Electors of President and Vice-President, we erroneously stated that 30 were given for Richard Stockton, Esq. of Somerset—that gentleman had 36.
We observe in the very respectable paper, published by Mr. Scull, at Pittsburgh, an elaborate and elegant extract from the masterly "Charge, delivered to the Grand Jury of Crawford county, at the October sessions, by ALEXANDER ADDISON, President of that court." We hope soon to publish extracts from a law paper, replete with such sound principles, and such excellent doctrine—The dignified law officer, who has again so ably advocated the best and eternal interests of this country, has frequently, on similar occasions, employed the powers of his correct mind, to corroborate the energies of salutary government and "to still the madnes of the people."
It is with extreme regret (says the Editor of the New York Gazette) we have to mention the illness of Commodore Truxton. Capt. Loring, of the schooner Nantasket, arrived here yesterday in 20 days from St. Thomas, informs that he was at St. Kitts 4 days, after the Commodore arrived there, and was told by Mr. Clarkson, the American Navy Agent, who visited the Commodore daily, that he was so much indisposed that he was unable to come on shore. The Commodore being subject to turns of the gout or rheumatism, it is not improbable that his indisposition is occasioned by one of these disorders.
The President of the United States, passed through Lancaster on Wednesday last, on his way to the Federal City.
Doctor Spalding, of Portsmouth, New-Hampshire, has undertaken to inoculate for the Kine Pox—He has twenty persons in different stages of the disease, upon two it has had its usual course, which has been so slight as not to prevent their usual occupations, nor cause a single complaint of indisposition. These leading facts, says the Doctor, are well established, to wit—that the Kine Pox is an effectual preventative of the Small Pox—that it is much lighter than the Small Pox, seldom attended with any indisposition—that it is not contagious, and cannot be communicated but by inoculation; one of a family may safely have the Kine Pox without any fear of infecting the others.
From a London Paper—August 30.
There is now in the river an astonishing large hairy wild man, caught 400 miles from the Cape of Good Hope, brought over in the Rambler, South-Sea-whaler—He is of astonishing muscular strength, a specimen of which had
nearly proved fatal to one of the custom-house officers, who inadvertently went too near him; he seized hold of the man, twirled him about two or three times with the greatest velocity, and then threw him over the side. Luckily the man escaped with a horrid fright and sound ducking.
The Election in Virginia for Electors of President and Vice-President, will take place this day, throughout that state.
[In a communication from a politician of distinguished rank abroad, it was suggested that many points of resemblance could be found between the characters of BUONAPARTE and HANNIBAL, as the latter is described by the historian, Livy. On consulting that author, the following translation was made. The classical reader who wishes to be feasted with Latin luxury, will turn to the fourth section of the twenty-first book of Livy, in the Elzevir edition. The passages in question begins "Missus Annibal in Hispaniam primo statim adventu omnem exercitum in se convertit."
No sooner had Hannibal arrived upon his mission to Spain, than the whole army became attached to him—The veteran soldiers believed that Amilcar himself was resuscitated. They beheld the same vigor of countenance, the same fire in his eye; the very lines and features of his face. He shortly superceded by his own merit the necessity of a recommendation from the love they bore for his father. Never was the same ability discovered in one person for a diversity of pursuits: he was fitted alike for obedience and command; so that it was difficult to discern, to which he he was most dear, the commander or the army. Asdrubal would have selected no one fooner, for the execution of any bold or arduous enterprize; nor was the confidence or the courage of the soldiers greater under any other chieftain. In "enterprizes of great pith and moment," he mingled much audacity with much caution. His body was as incapable of being fatigued by labor, as his mind of being overcome by it. Of heat and of cold he was equally patient. His appetite was satisfied with what is necessary for sustenance, instead of luxuries. His waking and sleeping hours knew no discrimination of time into day and night—what portion was not devoted to active labors, was given to repose; not indeed on beds of down, nor in the silence of retirement. Many have often seen him, covered with a soldier's cloak, lying on the bare ground among the guards and soldiers' posts. His attire did not excel that of his equals in rank; in arms and equipage he surpassed them. He was alike pre-eminent in the ranks of infantry as in the squadrons of cavalry—foremost in advancing to the field of battle, and last to leave it when the battle was over.
So many manly virtues were counterbalanced by a correspondent number of flagitious vices. He was a monster of cruelty; his perfidy worse than Punic; actuated by no regard to truth or sanctity—"the fear of God was not in him," nor had he any respect for his oath, or his religion. Thus endowed with virtues and vices, he served three years under the commander Asdrubal.

FROM THE TIMES.
VERSES OCCASIONED BY A STORM.
Be calm, my soul, these thunders harmless play! They God commands, they God directs their way. Tho' tempests howl, tho' liquid lightning flies, Yet still be calm, these reach not to the skies: There fix thy portion, it shall rest secure; And to eternal ages shall endure. Tho' earthly joys do perish and decay, These still will bloom, nor ever fade away. Arise, my soul, on wings of faith and love, And view the mansions of the blest above, Adore the boundless mercies of thy God, Who left the glorious place of his abode, On his high realms, where angels homage pay, And took for thee a tenement of clay. For thee, my soul, and all the sinful race Of wretched mortals, he has purchased grace—How great the ransom, he his blood did give, The Prince of life was slain, that we might live—Oh, wondrous love, to mankind freely given; He stoop'd to earth, to raise us up to heaven. Then doubt not of his power or will to save; His power created all, love laid him in the grave.

On Saturday Oct. 25 arrived at Newburyport ship Eliza, capt. Jenkins; Through an obliging friend, we have been favoured with the following information drawn up by capt. Jenkins.
Sept. 6, several English ships failed from Cronstadt, early in the morning, but being becalmed in sight of the Guard Ship, were sent after and brought back, an Embargo laid on all English ships, and they placed by themselves on the western side of the Mole. All English property was arrested both in St. Petersburg and Cronstadt, including all the property brought or shipped by Englishmen, (it being immaterial for whose account) and all goods bought of Englishmen, it shipped by them—They were forbidden to pay or receive money, and ordered to give in a statement of all they owed and to whom, and of what was due to them. 25 sail of the line and 10 frigates were ordered to be got ready for sea immediately from Cronstadt, besides those from Revel and Archangel. No English Officers were to go out in these ships. Although many of these vessels were before dismantled, by working upon them day and night, the greater part had their guns bent, and were nearly ready for sea, when I failed, (Sept. 10.)
Sept. 9, the English factors were taken on shore, leaving the Captains, Mates, Carpenters and Boys on board to take care of the vessels.—All the English resident at Cronstadt were put on their parole. All the other merchants in St. Petersburg were directed on that day to give in a statement of what they owed the English and what the English owed them. It was momentarily expected that a general embargo would take place, and remain till the fleet had failed, and war was declared.—These severe measures were said to be taken in consequence of the dispute between Great Britain and Denmark; and the reports, that the English had taken Elsinore, and were bombarding Copenhagen, &c. It is impossible, however, to say precisely what effect the news of the accommodation between those two powers will have.
Sept. 22, I arrived at Elsinore. Every thing there was quiet. Two fleets of merchant ships from England had passed up the Baltic; but in consequence of the news from Russia, a sloop of war was dispatched to order such back as were bound for that country."
The following address was presented to the KING OF GREAT BRITAIN, by the Society of friends in London, on his escape from the late attempt upon his life.
May it please the King.
Amidst the general satisfaction which thy late escape from an attempt on thy life hath occasioned, permit thy faithful and affectionate subjects, the religious Society of Friends, (usually called Quakers) thus publicly to manifest their thanks for thy preservation. We have received too many benefits during thy reign—too many marks of thy princely favor, not to feel greatly interested in thy personal safety; and we earnestly desire, that this thy providential deliverance may more and more incline thy heart to seek for the direction of Divine Wisdom in all thy steps; for what greater blessing can we implore for a prince whom we honor and love, than that he may continually commend himself, and the people over whom he reigns, to the approbation of the KING OF KINGS.
To which the King returned the following answer:
I thank you for this dutiful and loyal address, and for your affectionate congratulations on the merciful favour and protection which the Divine Providence has vouchsafed to me.
The repeated demonstrations of loyalty and attachment to my person and government, which I have received upon the present occasion, are highly acceptable to me; and you may rely on the countenance of my unremitted exertions to promote the welfare and happiness of all descriptions of my subjects, and to preserve inviolate their civil and religious privileges.
