FROM THE DUTCH PAPERS.

PARIS, AUGUST ?.
Letters front Marseilles of the date of the 2..1.1 ult.
state, that the day before. five English boats had
landed some persons near Laver.tion : upon which
the Collefior of the Customs, Faynn dc Stint LAU-
rent, colleCted all the Custom-house officers, anti
put himself at their heal. After a severe atlicr,
which continued all the night, the English were
obliged to re-embark, leaving behind thirty per-
sons upon the field of battle.
Three Genoese feluccas have been burned by the
English, in the very harbour of Marseilles, because
they were usable to carry them away. Such im-
pudence has not been witnessed for a long time. Ac-
cording to the report of the Commanding Grneta, it
is intirely owing to the courage of Falun de Saint
lament, and the detachment under him. eh.: no
mote mischief has been done.
We are assured that the Emperor of Rassia has
seat a declaration of great consequence to our go-
vernment, with a courier rho anived here some
Jays ago.
On the . from sit o'clock in she awn-
ing to two o'clock in the afternom, the Emperor
inspeßed the maneruvres of the second divislan of
the camp near Boulogne.
The same d ty the Emperor inspected that part of
the flotilla, such as pinnaces. St:. destined to use the
oars.

The neat day his Majesty reviewed the gun-boats,
and other armed vessels of the flotilla. He was very
inquisitive as to every part both of the military and
economical part of the difformt flotillas, and de-
clared himself highly sassfieJ with the order and
discipline that prevailed every where.

Her Imperial Majesty Josephine arrived here the
day before yesterday, at five o'clock in the after-
noon. She was saluted by a discharge of artillery.

A squadron of the g. 23.1 regiment of mounted chas-

Yesterday afternoon, Col. Ifottenvow, of the Beth

come from Bengal overland, which place he lett on

The Arrival of these ships in f..ngla.id suzy there-
fore be hourly expec:ed, and the account g;ren by
an American ti:At he leh them in the Illy of Bengal,
waiting for the laJras shies to juin them, appears
correct.

The Wary, Captain TAYLOR, and Eaptrates,
Captain WI Lir CA 14 had arrived safe at Madras.

and the Et: 4:astone had returned to Bombay with a

cargo of rice.
Colonel HOVONTON, we believe, Igings home the
ratifications of the important Treaties •f Peace, be.

tureen our Governments in India, and•the NlAmtta
Powers.

The intelligence of the arrival of the above ships
in India gave very general satisfaaion at the India
House, and at LLOYD'➢, as considerable apprehen-
sions had been entertained of their safety, in conse-
quence of the different reports lately circulated.
Phis account, added, to the safe ariival o£ the
China fleet, must quiet the public anxiety with re-
'peel to any danger to be apprehended from our
enemies, east of the Cape; and, in spite of their
boast, we find that our fieet,,, with very trifling ex-
ceptions, carry their merchraidi.e in safety, from cue
part of the globe to the oth.T.r.
Private letters, received by the overland dispatch,
state that the Honourable Mr. F.LTHINSTOWE wa,
appointed Resident at the Court of the RAJAH of

YLe I).gris was appointed by the Governer Ge-
neral, to bring home the whoie of the olicial papers
relative to the Peace in India.

upon the 29th last, evidently preparing to availhim-
self of the first opportunity to attempt the invasion.

A letter from the Hague of the 11 inst. says,
4. 'Ole French Generals RULDET and Gsovcnv
have arrived from France, and passed through this
place for the Camp of Zeist, lately augmented by
the 18th Regiment of the line, of wkch only one
battalion continues in garrison here and at &herd-
ing. This camp is now complete, and contains
19,000 Tench troops, under the command of Ce.
neral MA a %fowl., and 6000 Bata:ians, commanded
by General DUMONCCAU. It is the common opi-
nion, that these mops are more destined to serve as
an army of reserve to the army of Hanover, in case
of a continental war, than to invade England. Se-
veral Prussian officers of superior rank have visited
General Ken esoNa at Zeist, and admired the order
and regularity of this encampment, fortified in a
manner that it can resist for months the attacks of
armies of 100,04 0 men. Some Dmi•l: and Swedish
officers have besides arrived there; but the french
commander is particularly attentive to Prussians,
for whom he keeps open table every day. It is re•
ported, that an additional column of 10,000 French
troops will arrive from the interior, in the course of
this month. It is not known whether they are to
stay in this republic, or continue their march for
Germany."

A full report of the procee,.ings at the Croon
and Anchor l'avern yesterday, will be found in our
subsequent columns. We give it in the spirit of
truth, and with the same feeling of candour and
independence with which we last tear gave eerie-
ca.tiv the speech of Sir Fusels BUWLTT, upon
which Sir WILLIAM CLIITIS afterwards grounded
his charge at the Meeting at Hackney. The en-
lightened public, to whom we owe this duty, pill
know how to appreciate our conduct truly. Per-
fectly free from every species of undue influence;
to the public alone we look for patronage ansi
prateaion, and their favour we hope to pre-
serve by the same means which have acquired
it ; by the best and earliest information, by fide-
lity, by a pure spirit of truth and loyalty, and
an ardent attachment to our KINO and Con-
stitution.

By an American Gentleman, just arrived from
the Continent, we ►ave received notitive and an-4

a complete state of equipment, and ready to embrace
the first oppnetunity of putting to sea.
The Elie packet has had a smart engagement
with a French schooner, in the West Indies. The
following is an ettraet of a letter from the master.

ment with a schooner ne IN guns, and 150 men : we

Two short, very short odes (the () re,dir and
Pei tarot Ok), of Horace, appeared on Mouday, in
a Morning Paper+, with a translation, as it was
Called, by !Curs, Irbrifick4 of King's College, Cara-
bridge. Such a mauling, in so slight an attiCr.,
Favor Horace has rarely experienced. Leaving alone
some errors in printing the Latin, ma). nn
belong to our Cantab, and the reraenee at tile head
of 11 nut (Carmen 30, Ode I , for Carolina; I. 1,
Ode 30.). %%Nib, probably, does belong to Fiitu, we
shall come at once to the translatimi. The Odes
are so Nell known, that I shall merely note what I
think exceptionable in this unaercilid versifier of
Horace.
In Ode 90, for
