PARIS, NOV. 2..

The accounts published in the newspapers relative
to the robbery committed by the English upon the
four Spanish frigates, and the murder of their pas-
sengers and crews, are every where read with ea-
gerness ; and a general indignation is excited by this
aa of piracy. The journalist (of the Bulletin) con-
tinues in a strain of gross inventive against Mr. Pitt
and the British Government.
It is said, that flit Majesty the Emperor will spee-

for a di,tinguished personage.

LON DON,
MONDAY, NOVIIMMI 19.
SIR GEORGE RUMBOI.D.
We have this day to announce the cttraordinary
and unezptded arrival of Sir GEOIIGE RuMuolo in
L"ndon ; an event in which the public must rejoice
itwith the same unanimity• with which they condemned
the atrocious violation of the 141, of nations in the
• leisure of his person and papers, at Hamburg's.—
In a former paper we stated, that this respedable
Minister was carried diredly to Paris, under an es-
cort of Gtn: d'Armist, and confined in the Temple,
among the other vißims of Corsican cruelty and in-
justice. We now find that account was perfedly
corred. Upon his arrest in the dead of night at
his country seat, in the vicinity of Hamburgh,

the first care of the bandin. was to seize his
person and papers. That °Nee being attained,
they proceeded, in the way of any common bur-

glars and robbers, to plunder the house at every
valuable article which it contained. Not many
minutes were allowed to Sir Groaos to prepare for
his departure, nor any hint given of his ultimate
destination. As a great indulgence, he was allow-
ed to pack up a few shirts. These, with the deaths

upon their backs, were all rbat were allowed to be
carried away by the Baronet, and the servant whom
they permitted to accompany him. Thus sorprivedi
and thus provided for a long journey, Sir Gcorot
and his servant were hurried into a strong, in-
ernivenient, And uneasy carriage, iu wuch they

were locked up, and travctled day and night,
escorted by a body of fifty horsemen. The fa-
tigues of such a journey might be considered
as too great for the most robust constitution ; but
they were not all that Sir Gement Russ BOLD had
to bear. He was treated on the way by his guard
with every species of insult and rudeness. His dress
and his person were made the subjofls of low and
vulgar ridicule. His hat particularly attracted their
attention. They said it was Anglaise ea milstalrr,
and accordingly vented their rage upon it. They
took it off Sir GEORGCS head, pierced it with their
swords, then amused themselves with burning the
leaf, until not a particle of it remained for the exer-
cise of their insolent and ridiculous frivolity. In
this situation, the Baronet tied his night cap upon
his head, with his handkerchief over it, and, with his
head bound up like a sick or wounded man, arrived,
after a most painful and fatiguing journey, at
Paris. The guard had orders from the Minister
of Police, to carry him to the Temple, and to that
abode of misery and death, he and his servant were
direfly conveyed. The apartment destined for
their reception was a miserable, cold, gloomy room,
wretchedly furnished, and with scarcely a spark of
fire. Upon their entrance into the room, one of
the keepers came up, and, addressing himself to
Sir Gsoßoe, said, 4, Monsieur Anglois, I am ordered
to provide you and your man with a fowl and a
bottle of wine for supper." Sir GEORGE made no
answer; and the keeper proceeded to spread a dirty,
curse table-cloth, which he laid out, with one
plate, a spoon, a fork, and a little salt. In a short
time after, he introduced a small dish and cover, con-
taining a half-starved fowl, a bottle of bad wine, and
some musty bread. Sir GEORGE, indignant at such
treatment, asked, with warmth, "Keeper, am I not al-
lowed a knife to cut with?" to which the other, pulling
a knife from his side coat pocket, answered, surlily,
" Yes, Sir ; but I must be present while you are using
it, as I am ordered to keep out of your way all
sorts of weapons of destruftion." Sir Giotto&
then sat down, and having partaken of this wretched
fare, he arose from table, and his servant was per-
mitted to sit down in his place, and endeavour to
appease his hunger with the fragments. As a great
indulgence, however, they were allowed a second
bottle of wine. After their repast the keeper took
the knife away, and informed Sir GroRGR, that when
he chose to retire to rest a bed room would be ready
for him. The worthy Baronet being exhausted
with fatigue, this proposal was soon accepted. It
was an adjoining room, and more mean and con-
temptible than the former ; the bed was of hard
flock, with a dirty pair of sheets and blankets, ins'
ferior in quality to the worst used in the meanest
workhouse in England. The accommodation pro-
vided for the servant was, if possible, still worse;
in these miserable apartments, and living upon such
miserable fare, Sir GeORGe remained until the
ensuing evening, when he was waited upon by an
officer of the Police, who informed him, that there
was no charge against him personally ; that his
government were satisfied with the possession
of his papers, which they were resolved to keep,
and that he must leave Paris at a late hour
of that evening. Sir GEORGE, upon receiving this
communication, requested leave to purchase a new
hat, which was granted, and the hat was accord-
ingly brought to him. This was all the preparation
which he thought necessary to make for his new
journey, or would probably have been granted to
him. At the hour appointed, an officer entered the
apartment, and informed him that every thing was
in readiness for his departure. He was then con-
dueled to the Temple gate, where he found a car-
riage waiting for the reception of himself and his
servant, and an escort attending. When he was
put into the carriage, he earnestly requested to be
informed to what place they proposed to carry him;
but even this favour was refused, and he was told
it would be time enough for him to know that upon
his arrival at the first stage. Thus did he leave
Paris in the most painful uncertainty, and, from
the known ferocious temper of the Corsican,
with the most melancholy forebodings, having every
reason to presume he was going to be incarcerated
in some provincial prison or solitary dungeon. Up-
on his arrival, however, at the second stage, his fears
were somewhat allayed, and he was informed, his
destination was Cherbourgh, at which place he ar-
rived on Friday last, the 16th, and was imme-
diately put on board a French cutter, with a flag of
truce, which stood over for England. The
cutter had not proceeded far from the French coast,
when His M sJ esr v's frigate, the Nsule, of 38 guns,
Capt. M. H. SCOTT, one of the squadron upon the
Jersey station, fell in with her. The frigate imme-
diately came alongside, and Captain SCOTT being
informed by the Commander of the cutter, that he
was proceeding to England to land Sir Geomcs
Ku mica o, the British Minister accredited to Ham-
burgh, Captain Score tusk the worthy Baronet
and his servant on board, and carried them to Ports-
mouth. the flag of truce returned to Cherbourgh—

Sir Gsoaoe was Landed at eight o'clock on Satur-
day morning, at Portsmouth, where he took a post-
chaise and four, and set out for London. Upon his
way he stopped at Richmond, which he reached at
ten o'clock. There he visited two of his sons,
and, after taking some refreshment, he proceeded
with them to town, where they arrived at about half
past one at Lady Rostsotn's in Bryanstnne
street. Sir Geo KG E did not suffer many m;nutes to
elapse, before he sat down and wrote a letter to
Lord HARROWEY, to acquaint his Lordship with
his unexpe&ed arrival. The letter was sent to his
Lordship's house in Grosvenor-square, but his Lord-
ship being at Bath, and the servants not aware of
the importance of the communication, it was not
sent to the office in Downing-street until twelve
o'clock yesterday. At the time the letter arrived,
Mr. HA M motto, the Under Secretary of State, was
in the Office transaaing business, and being au tho-
rised to open the official letter sof the Department
during the absence of Lord H•EROWI v, he of course
opened that of Sir GEORGE RUIIIOI.O. Upon
the perusal of its contents, he immediately dis-
patched Mr. SCOTT, the Messenger, to Lord
HARROIVEY at Bath. He also sent off expresses to
all the other Ministers in London and its vicinity.
Lord Met vi tte was at Wimbledon, and he de-
tained the messenger until he had written more
than twelve letters to several persoue high in office,
which the messenger was charged to carry to town,
and transmit to the parties. At one o'clock Sir
Groaox RUMBOLD went to the Secretary of State's
Office, where he had a long conference with Mr.
H A RtmoND, and at four he returned to Bryanstone-
street, and, we are informed, left town at eight
o'clock last night, upon a visit to Lord H•IIROWIT.
A Cabinet Council, we understand, will be held
this day upon this interesting subjea. A very nu-.
merous attendance is expefted. Sir GEORGIC Russ-
so LD was arrested near Hamburgh, in the night of
the 25th of Oftober, dragged from his house like
a felon, and carried from the North of Germany
through Hanover, to Paris, there thrown into the
Temple, liberated, carried to Cherbourgh, sent
across the channel, and landed at Portsmouth on
the 16th instant, comprising a space of time some-
thing short of three weeks. Neither our limits, nor the
lateness of the hour at which we received the above
particulars, permit us to indulge in many observa-
tions upon this extraordinary affair. A subjed of
such importance cannot, however, be dismissed
without some remarks. Among those which press
most upon the mind, is the consideration of the pro-
bable cause that produced this one:peeled issue. To
some; this seizure and release of Sir GisollOt Roli•
NOLO, under all its circumstances, may appear the
aft of a capricious tyrant, the wantonness of lawless
power. Superficial observers, however, only will view
it in that light. Bo may be sometimes fickle.
but he is always cruel; and, although the perusal
of his papers may have convinced him of Sir
Groaoc Rum sour's innocence of the crimes of
which French spies thought fit to suspeß him, that
consideration would have little weight with the ty-
rant. The very circumstance of his being a Briton
would be sufficient crime in the eyes of the Corsi-
can for the severest puaishment. Of what other
offence have the English captives now languish-
ing in prison at Verdun been found guilty ?
No, no ; for this release of Sir GEOIIGE Russ SOLD,
we must seek some other cause than Corsican fickle-
ness, or the innocence of the British Minister. There
can be little doubt but that it has been effectled by
the remonstrance of Prussia. That Power, it is
now known, espoused the cause of Sir GEORGE.
Roo solo more warmly than was eapeded ; and those
very political circles, which lately censured the cold
neutrality, the selfish policy of the Cabinet of
Berlin, are now ready to admit, that its poverty
and not its will consented to the climes and

encroachments of Bo.• . Prussia may
have hitherto held back ; but, though her tar-
diness furnishes no symptom of a chivalrous
spirit, her interposition at that hour of the day,
before which her interference must have been incl.
feaual, is certainly a proof of her sound policy,
and good sense. Had Boma►a s. seized Sir Gwent
Itcos scot n six months ago, the remonstrance of
Prussia would not have procured the worthy Ba-
ronet a second bottle of wine in the Temple, much
less his release. But, with Russia and Turkey al-
ready decided against the Government of BONA-
, and Austria only awaiting an opportunity
to follow their example, the remonstrance of Prus-
sia presses upon the Corsican with irresistible weight.
In fact, a change has lately manifested itself in the
political system of Europe, which the most san-
guine politicans had almost despaired of ever seeing.
Europe appears to be now upon the eve of a gene-
ral coalition against France, and it will require all
the address and talents of TALLLY RAND to avert
the blow.

We this day insert a letter from a private Corre-
spondent in Ireland, whose means of information we
know to be goo.l, and upon whose honour and ve-

NM

racily we can depend. He states that the recent
reports of treason and rebellion are the inventions
of ind:viduals interested in keeping alive the fear of
treasln and rebellion. ‘Ve suspeaed as much when
we lately promised to expose the motives for the
new and heavy charge adv.tneed-again,t the loyalty
of Ireland. We have no hesitation to say, that Ave
now rely upon the suspicions which Ave then enter-
tained, as fails. Indeed, the Print, in which such
injurious reports first found their way into the
world, has since made a kind of annirde hormaroA%
But it cannot be soon forgotten, that the Print in
question annout.ced the report as " Governmeic
information." We never doubted but that the same
spirit, which produced so many " iii-begotten knaves
in Kendal Green," at the beck of S:r John Fertaff, was
able to conjure up 30,000 men in rebel green, at
Leighlin Bridge, and report the same to Government.
We never doubted but that Ireland might produce
same one petty, sanguinary villain, capable of wi t-
ing an anonymous letter to Government, maligning
and misrepresenting the country to suit his private

purpose; but call ye this Government information ?
Government information, we thought, was the in-
formation derived through its own trust-worthy
channels ; information to which Government att.Ach-

We were the first to announce the recent agita-
tion of the Catholic Question in Ireland. We now
find that it was revived by the publication of Lord
REDkSDALE'S letters. The sentiment for some
months spread and diffused itself in secret, and has
lately assumed body and shape. Thrbody of the
Catholics, we are, however, concerned to find, are
not unanimous with regard to the time and mode of
bringing it f9n4ard. A very respeEtable part of
them, we unitrstand. wish to retard the proceeding,
from the dreid of an ineffeaual discussion, of angry
words, and a parliamentary refusal, which, they fear,
in the event of an invasion, may incline the peo-
ple o co-operate with, rather than fight against
the enemy. 'The inadive, however, are equally
sincere as the allive in the pursuit. The busi-
wis first shewed itself in a string of resolution',
constituting an answer to the several positions unfa-
vourable to the catholic cause, advanced in Lord
BADLSO• LE'S letters.

We have received Paris Papers to the
