One ui the principal officers of the French Court,
General CatTatrelli, quitted it at Cologne, bcing
charged by the Emperor with a very important
mission.

According to accounts from Cologne, the Em-
peror, after hearing mass in his palace there, on the
15th September, received, by a courier from Rome,
advice that his Holiness hrd resolved to come
to crown him. His Majesty immediately charged
General Caffarelli to go to Rome, to accompany his
Holiness on his journey to France. That General
adually set off for Strasburgh on the same day, and
proceeded further on his journey on the 19th Sep-
tember, taking the road to Switzerland, and an-
nouncing his aforesaid destination.
To the details of the French Emperor's journey,
the Aloniteur adds the following singular circum-
stance His Majesty, on going from Coblentz to
Mentz, on the 20th September. on the fine road by
the Rhine, remarked on an island in that river, on
the utmost boundary of the empire, a convent of
nuns, called, after the island, ft Aand-Werk. There
are still tsienty•one nuns living together in this
convent; his Majesty granted them have to remain
there, and to retain the sixty or eighty acres of
ground, being the extent of the island. These nuns
never quitted the convent during the whole war, and
both contending armies always tespeeted ei.eir re-
treat. Frequently the shot from the batteries, on
both banks, crossed over their petty territory without
ever striking it."

The Minister of Marine hts published the fol-
lowing report, relative to an accident which has
happened to an English cutter off Havre, and of the
affair which was the consequence thereof :

REPORT PROM THE MIL I CARY comm•woett AT

SAINT TORT, SEPT. 26.

"I have the honour to inform you, that yester-
day at three p. m. the wind being E. N. E. fresh,
fine weather, an.' the enemy's squadron of this
port, consisting of •wo ships of the line, one fri-
gate, and several smaller vessels, I perceived that one
of their cutters, of 16 guns, struck on the Western
extremity of the Bank of Rader. Captain Hame-
lin immediately left the port, with three armed
pinnaces, to attack the cutter, whilst several of the
enemy's launches went to her assistance. Cap-
tain Moncabrie, who commands a division of
the flotilla, moored without the port, on seeing
this movement, and got under weigh, with a part of
his division, himself going on board of No. 271,
with Captain Percher, to attack the two armad
brigs, which bore up to assist the cutter. Captain
Rheiddlet, with two pinnaces, manrzuvrcd to cut off
the English. The enemy's ships and frigates made
every exertion to support their vessels and boats ; but
at half past three, our vessels being within shot of the
cutter fired upon the brigs and launches which en-
deavoured to get her afloat. 't tie latter were obliged
to abandon her, and made .di the sail they could to
juin their squall-cm, assisted by ther oars. Our
pinnaces fired upon them, covering them with grape.
shot, and pursuing them till they were proteeted by
the fire of their largest ships. I saw several of the
enemy's boats turn, from the e11e.% of our fire
striking the men at the oars. They only escaped
by throwing overboard the mails, and other 'fleas
which they wanted to save from the cutter. Our
vessels were going to board her, when the corn.
minder perceived she was on fire, on which he de-
termined t.. keep at a disc rose ; and, at sixp.m. the
cutter blew up. 1 ant informed that some seamen
were hurt by the explos;na. Messrs. Hamelin, Mon-
cabrie, and Perilier, speak in very high terms of
the officers, seamen, and soldiers, under their or-
ders, who obeyed their commands wit:, the greatest
zeal. [Signed) " MexTAUbt.l LARQQ:i."

were fought, any sorties made, or any batteries
erected.

British C wernmeat declared to the Ilamburgh
Deputy, their astonishment at his attempting to
make freak applications, considering that too much
bad been already granted in permitting the Ham-
burgh ships to coast the Danish coast, to proceed to
Tonningen, and retura from thence. The interven-

was not more successful, and the Russian Ambassa-
dor refused to interfere in the business.
