The d.ty before yesterday, a Grand Council of
State was held, at which an the Ministers and princi-
pal Generals were present. Surne days before, Cou-
riers had been sent off to St. Petersburgh and Vicuna,
with dispatches, relative to the present sitnalion of
affairs.

rived in this city ; it is Imbued that he will go to

The answer of France to the Note transmitted by
Count Cobentzel, on the 6th of August, is circulated

Etre. It positively refaces :o accept the mediation

of Austria, and says, that the Emperor of the French

A ~str,i.'sc Majesty, because his mediation presents
slimy diflie.,lties.
It appears Cos-;he prnjea of neutrality, the plan
or which had been cmic.::!ei at S:utgardt, between
four Fletctoral Courts, tinilnz;anately cannot take
place ; France requires of the ElNl,,rs of Wirtem-

LONDON,
TUESDAY, SirTeusea 24.

At a late hour last night we received Dutch
Papers to tae I 9th, and Patis Journals to the 1 Sth
in,tant, but they contain no news of any import•

ante.

We announced yesterday the arrival of the Ham-
burgh Mails due on Sunday se'nnight and Wed-
nesday last. Their contents are of considerable
importance. The Staff of the Austrian Army has
been finally arranged. General Orders were pub-
lished at Vienna on the 3.1, in which it is stated.
that the EMPEROR had conferred the command of
the Armies of Italy and the Tyrol, upon the Arch-
dukes CM A R LES and dons; ; of the Army of the
Voralberg, upon the Archduke Feenss•siso ; and,
of the Army of the Western Tyrol, upon Ge-
neral AurreNarea. The troops lately in garri-
san in Saint Petersburgh, had all marched away
from that city on the 28:h last, and the Einem:se
was expetted to *loin the army on the 29th, at head-
quarters at Wilna. The report, however, that any
of the Russian troops had passed their own territo-
ries, has been contradined by kttrrs of the 31st,
from Vienna. The first division of the French
Army of the Cost, amounting to 30,000 men,
passed through Mons on the 3d instant. The Army
of the Rhine is to be commanded by Birs•e Aare in
person. The note of warlike preparations also begins
to be heard in Prussia. A letter horn Berlin, of the
10th instant, states, that His PRUSSIAN MAJEIEY
has given orders for one hundred thousand men to
hold themselves in readiness to march. Bors A AAAA
has declined the m.:diation of Austria, as proposed
in the Note delivered by Count Coat NTZEL, on the
6th last; and the attempt of some of the German
States, to preserve their neutrality,has been defeated,
by the extravagant demands of Bon tearrt.

We were the first to mention the report of an in-
tended dissolution of Parliament. It has been since
frequently repeated by our contemporaries. Some
of them, specdating upon the recent, visit of Mi-
nisters to Weymouth, assert, with increased confi-
dence, that the meeting was for the purpose of
holdin; a Council for taking this measure into con-
sideration. Saturday was the day on which the
Council was expelled to take place. Our %Vey-
mouth letter of that date is, however, silent upon

'. e subjeCt, and nai.ha of Cie Council Clinks were
there. The presumption, thetefore, is, that no
formal Council was held ; but it does not follow
that some measure may not have been adopted, upon
%%Inch it has been thought advisable to have the
advice and opinion of the Mini drys who attended.
It is the general opinion, founded upon recent
evei.ts, that the Minister would not add to his
strength by a new eleetion ; and some thence
suppose, that the rumotEed dissolution of Par-
liament is only a threat to frighten the Ao-
co pint ON party into an accommodation, .s
they would not, probably, muster so strong in a
new Parliament. It is certain, however, that the
public business cannot be conducted to the advan-
tage of the country, and the satisfaCtion of the Mi-
nister, unless he can reckon upon a majority. The
system, therefore, cannot go on in the way in which
it left off last Session.

We yesterday gave the substance of a Bulletin,
issued from the Admiralty on Sunday, statiny, that
Admiral Cou.inowoon was left MI Cadiz, on the
28:h last, blockading the Combined Fleet, in that
port, with 8 sail of the line; and that Capt. Kira.,
of the Endymion frigate, had, on the night of the
29th, passed a fleet, supposed to be that of Sir lir-
rilliT CALDER, on its way to join Admiral COL-
L,MGIV on. His MAJESTY'S armed schooner, Para-
/won, arrived on Thursday, at Falmouth, with a
Mail and Dispatches in ten days from Lisbon.—.
The dispatches and letters reached town yesterday
morning ; and, shotily after their arrival, another
Bulletin from the Admiralty, of which the follow.
ing is a copy, was sent to the Masters at Li.ovn's :

" Sept. 14, 11109.

" The Lishoti Convoit under protection of His NV:jetty%
ship I'oul Ate, and Malabia: armed transrrt, was to sail in forty-
eight hours atter the Itariniatta, which brings this 1/4.701111t, and
understood to have left the Tagiis at the Bth inst. The convoy
eshosi,ts of 23 sail. There is reason to believe that the juin -
non of His Majeites Svadtuns behre Cadiz. took 1.1.14 e oil
th. 29th or 30th ult. and that the enemy's feet was st.II in
port."
It appear; from this notice, that no positive account
has been yet received of the junFti!•n of Admirals
COI.I.IIIGWOOD and Cat.nt a. That such an event
has taken place, scarcely admits, however, a doubt.
Letters from Lisbon, brought by the Paremotor
state, that the Combined Fleet in Cadiz are in the
greatest distress for want of stores and provisions.
Bread they have none; nor is there any to be pro-
cured at Cadiz, where the greatest scarcity prevails,
even among the inhabitants. The British fleet, in
the mean time, so strialj blockades the port, that
no supplies can eater from the sea.

Sir SIDNEY Smiril attended yesterday afternoon

It is reported, that Lord BaTtitaM is to be snc-
ceeded at the Admiralty by Mr. You Kr.. We do

The Irthein, H A t.e, from Rotter4am, for Liver-
pool, is arrived in the Downs, after being on the
Goodwin Sands ; she was gut off by Use L)eal
boats.
Extral of a Letter from Oporto, dated August
30, 1805 :—" For some days past, a stout lugger, in
company with two or three Spanish row-boats, have
been cruising about the bar and on the coast, and
plundered several neutral vessels. The coast is now
entirely unproteled, and we may expel that few
vessels will escape them, particularly those expelled
from Ncwtoutsdland."
The Formidable is ordered to be prepared for the
reception of Admiral Duckwoarn s flag.
The Endeavor, arrived at Scilly nu the !HI
instant, in seventeen hours, from the fleet off Brest, I
consisting of twenty sail of the line. The Captain
reports, that a French squadron, consisting of five
sail of the line, was cruising off the Penmarks, and
that Admiral COll NW A Li.ls had detached five sail of
the line to cruise for them, but no account was heard
from them when he left the Beet on Sunday (the
15th) at nine o'clock at night.
