emus, JULY 4.
Some of the Princes of Germany are about to
take measures to prevent the manoeuvres of certain
emissaries who debauch the inhale:Ants of that
rennin:, under pretext of sending them to the
United States, where they are promised all imagi-
nary happiness; hut, in fael, to sell them to the
English Government.
The following Paper proves the conditions and
the tariff of this infamous 'retie, by means or whidi
honest and simple countermen, believing they are
eriog to America, are thrown tipen the shores of
England, and sold At eel much a head, to he trans-
jorted to the English Colonies.

The Ntetsiterse, of the 7th, has the following Note
on Ilia Majesty's Message of the 19th of June :
" Thu: His Britannoc Majesty confesses that,
after tit months, he has no relatioae with the
'towers of the Continent which could have preveet-
ell, s stated by his Ministers in their Letter to
tie Wainer fur Foreign Affairs, an answer to
the ()venters of Peace made by the Emperor
of the French. These reltibons, which appeared
then to be so clnie that he could not dispense
with ennsulting those Powers with whom he heal
coot, eaed them, are nothing more than " com-
munications which have not yet acquited a degree
of maturity which will permit him to enter into
ulterior explanations With the French Govern-
ment." The answer made by the Ministers six
months ago was therefore false, and if there wet*
not relations then, there are no more new. His Bri-
tannic Majesty sleds, " That it may be of essential
impottaree that lie should be enabled to profit by
every favourable etujundure to effeet, with other
Powers, such a concert its may give him the means of
resisting the uric :edified ambition of France." What
pacific ditpositiuns! Two years since His Britannic
Majesty neither looked to nor wished for any coali-
tion. Will he succeed, or will he not succeed, is
a question not difficuh to resolve. Hew Joes the
ease stand? His Mejecty would have been much
more titiek, end would not ',eve entangled a simple
eicipotition, if he had said, that lie did not wish to
treat before he had haul *veer six campaigns with
the Coalesced Powers. Then it would remain to be as-
eestained what advaatege lied been gained afterthese
five or six campaigns, and if this advantage should
be in proportion to the sacrifice oe two or 300,000
men. His Majesty might then resolve to make Peace.
Peace, the object of pest ambition to all wise Go-
vernments, appears to be only a sort of last shift to
His Britannic Majesty. W. ho does not wish that
England may fine Europe deaf to every projelt of
Coalition ? who deer not pray fcr the success of the
arms of a nation, who wishes tOr nothing hut Peace,
whilst England, its Enemy, calls out with loud cries
f the return of those disasters which have so long
a !lined Europe ?
66 His Ilrjpra,icM ijesty think; he can (incite a
part of the Letter of :he Emperor of the Fituce, to
peeve tn the Continent that the Emperor fears Eng-
land, and that, /stems- be desires peace, he fears
war; thus hoping to Indus e come power to enter
into I..rew Coalition. '1 he Cabinet of Lawton has
net regleefee t o vipport w; ak reasoning by offers of
subsidies ; bin ;t will be perceived, that it does not
peace a vehre suMciently high on such services, and
that it mist pay still dearer. The Parliament have
granted 5,000,000/ steeling ; still more will be
eske lof them. We shall see wether the generosity
or the merchants will render the course more easy.
" Every word, every ail of this Government,
bears the charaeter of disorder and madness. It is
a strenge political declaration, which the Ministers
pot into the mouth of the King, when they make
hint say, disc ireely ennegh, that he will not make
peace, until he can no longer mike wet. It will
neeessarile result, that, when be wishes for peace,
it will be imagined that he is constrained to make it,
and that more, therefore, may be eleeted from him.
" What then is to be concluded from such a
message ? It is, that the re-establishment of the
tranquilley of Eumpe is far distant, as the English
Government will not be diposed to peace until it
shall bee csmvinced that no power will concur its feed-
ing the flame. and that it has no longer Ministers
or intrigeers who can hope to purchase such as-
sistance."

Letters from Inspruck mention, that the Arrival of
the Emperor of the irench on the Austrian fron-
tiers has caused an universal joy. It is impossible
to describe the enthusiasm with which the inhabit-
ants or that part gml the Venetian territory which is
e.n the Left Bank of the Adige speak of the Hero of
the Age.
Very exaggerated accounts have been circulated
with respea to the r.umlser of Austrian troops which

LONDON,
SATURDAY, Ju4.y CU.

The inhabitants of Deal were alarmed, on WeJ-
nesday night, with au incessant firing, in the direc-
tion of Calais. The Port-Admiral and his Officers
were called from their beds. The K I ships in
the Downs slipped their cables, and bore away for
the coast of France, it • being the general opinioti
that the enemy were making some grand move-
ment. Thursday mot niug the Gri,,Si cutter arrived
at Deal, with an account that the filing had pro-
ceeded from a part of the enemy's flotilla, which
was endeavouring to escape from Calais to Bou-
logne, and four of our cruisers. The attempt of
the enemy was frustrated ; but it WAS thou ;ht they
would make another effort yesterday. We under-
' stand that no loss has been sustained upon our part;
but it is supposed that the enemy have suffered
considerably. Several sloops and gun brigs sailed
on Thursday to reinforce our squadron off the
French coati. Another account states, that the
firing proceeded from an attack made by the de-
tached squadron. under the command of Captain
OwL fip on about 120 of the enemy's vessels anchored
under the batteries at It oulognei; which. although
condueled with great judgment and gallantry, did
not prove successful, while our ships experienced
some damage.

We are still without any accounts from Lord
NeLsofi more recent than those brought by the Cis-
risisx. An interesting letter from an Officer in his
Lorca hip's fleet, brought by that vessel, is given in
the last pag:.

A Gottenburgh Mail arrived yestcrddy; and we
also received Fr;reign Papers, but none of a later
date than those brought by the Ham/I:ugh Mail of
the !Ith. We have, however, made some extrads
from them, which are given in a preceding column.

Major Berwas,

pany's service, sad lately arrived from Lid
the Cape of Good Hope, on a neutral ship, yes-
terdAy the honour of a long conference, by appoint-
ment, with the Right Hon. Mr. PITT, at Whitebait.
This Gentleman, and other Officers in His Majesty's
aid the Company's service, were, we learn, made
prisoners of war by the Ratavian Government at the
Cape, but permitted to proceed to Europe, on giving
their parole not to serve against them, or their allies
(unless exchanged), during the war.
Attempts have been recently made by some of
the enemy's emissaries, to ascertain the defensive
state of our forts along the coast. Tuesday two
persons. supposed to be spies from the enemy's
coast, were deteacd in the ad of endeavouring to
bribe the sentinel to gain admittance into Deal
Castle. Their questions, as to the state of the tort,
tb • calibre of the ordnance, with all its means of
defence, were overheard by one of the foot guards,
who observed them while taking minutes of the an-
swers they received, followed them into Deal, and
caused them to be apprehended.
Yesterday the Loyal Whitechapel Volunteers, un-

HAVNIARICET.
The new comedy, entitled the V./Ilene, wit re-
peated here last night. Some marks of disapntoba-
tran were expressed from the beginning, but nothing
decisive took place until the appearance of Mrs
Glees in the chirttder of nom, when the audience,
sometimes anticipating, and sometimes echoing the
phrases " Yes, Mamma, no, Mamma," which but too
frequently occur, attempted to throw the piece into
contempt and ridicule. From this point aloud cry of
"qtf, sr," but it was overcome by the perseverance of
the performers, until the last scene, When a clamour
was raised that triumphed over all opposition, and
the curtain fell, amidst a loud and universal
uproar, leaving the piece unfinished. A few
voices now vociferated; " Go on, go on, raise the
custom ;" while others eXclaimed, " No. no. the
noes hare st." The Pit exhibited a most disorderl,
scene : gentlemen were disputing in it, some even
fighting. In every part of it might be seen Ladies
fainting, and, while one man was pulling out his
card. another was administering his smelling bottle.
Confusion prevailed .n every bench of it. After
several minute.' of tumult of this kind, Mr. axis-
TON came abruptly forward, with evident marks of
discomposure, and as if he had limed his way.
Some time elapsed before he could obtain a hearing.
Being at length permitted to speak, he proceeded as
follows, with much perturbation :
" I am so much ..pruned, on at-count of the treatment I have
received behind the scenes, that I c truitrt now speak, bet I wit
%Merl,' address you"
licre a great uproar was raised, and a Gentleman
exclaimed from one of t: e upper buses, " Mr. Ex-
tistort, take care what you do." The voice was
then drowned by the cry of "hear him ! bear him !
go on !goon ! Mr. Er. Lis rots then advanced close
to the front of the stage, and resuming his address,
said--
i• Ladies and Gentlemen—l have alwars met w:th the
gtem-st respett, pation.tge, and protettion,betare the :main,
to this bathe, and shall ever rettialit grateful t.n- it ; but I ow
a duty to the managers and to my employer., which I moot
pert. cm. On this account, and from a feeling for the author, I
was induced, last night, ta appeal to your kindness for a patient
hearing. You were ;tond enough to grant it to me, b tbe my
soul (w to a sinwrg ',Thesis)! nothing in tins world wit. ever
i :dues one stubbornly to resist the truth. The piecs has now
got a second trial ; and wha, was my opt..iou at the first, is now
evident. It cannot du. Theraxe. I am to acquaint you,
that It is wirlidision,
" and Gentlenwm—t4^ Comedy of The tteseelia
will be performed to IlltltrOV/ eveninit."
During the whole of the time Mr. Ex tisroa was
speaking, there was, at intervals, a general cry of
Rears ! Brat* ! Right ! Right ! Shortly after tran-
quillity was restored, and the remainder of the night
passed off quietly, except upon Mr. Ex *Arrow's ap-
pearance in Toe Hunter the Alps, when a slight
and partial degree of disapprobation was expressed,
but it was soon lost in the lou i and general apislause.
