English Government. May I hog of you, there-
fore, to make known to Lord Ilarrowby, this gene-
rous determination of his Majesty. You will sec in
it, Sir, the mat ked intention of doing what may be
personally agreeable to yourself; and Ilia Blitannic
Majesty's new Ministry will be constrained to re-
cognise in it, a proof of the disposition so often ma-
nitested on the p.m of his Imperial Majesty, to spew
himself above not only those sentiments which of-
fences in general excite, but eves above those which
might spring from the attempts, of which his own
person has been the objea. 1 shall, therefore, remain
in expeclation of learning by your means, the place
which the English Government wish the prisoner of
state, claimed through your intervention, to be deli-
vered over.
I avail myself of this opportunity of renewing to
your Excellency the assurance of my most high con-
sideration.

S it—l have the honour to acknowledge the re-
ceipt of your letter of yesterday, and to assure you,
that His Majesty's Government entertain a just sense
of the liberality and generosity, with which His Ca-
tholic Majesty has been pleased to interpose his good
offices, in favour of Captain \Wright, and of the very
obliging manner in which you And M. Gravina have
complied with the request contained in my former
note to you upon this subjeet.
As the French Government has consented to libe-
rate that officer from his present confinement, and
to allow him to return to this country, I do not think
proper to make any observations upon the contents
of M. Talieyrand's Note to Admiral Gravina. 1
have, therefore, to request that you, Sir, will he
pleased to communicate, through M. de Gravina, to
the French Government, in consequence of the wish
they have intimated, to know the place to which
Captain Wright should be sent ; that it is the desire
of His Majesty's Government, that he should be
sent to Dover is a flag of truce ; or, if there is any
objeCtion to that mode of liberating him, that he may
be allowed to quit the territories of France, for the
purpose of proceeding to Embden, or any other neu-
tral port or place —1 have the honour to be, -Ste.

LONDON,
WEDNESDAY, SEP f LUBER 11.

The Quebec fleet is safe arrived. Part of it, con.
sisting of twelve sail, under convoy of the Uratud
frigate, reached the Downs on Monday ; the rest,
to tile amount of fifteen sail, have put into the
western ports, for which they were hound. We
have now only one more fleet at sea, the Leeward
Island fleet; but no fears are entertained for its
, safety.
..—......--

Some of the Evening Prints, of yesturday, say,
" That the Combined Fleets remain in Cadiz, is
now placed beyond all doubt. The zfriiitic, of 81
guns, arrived at Plymouth on Sunday, from Ad-
miral Cox xiticiwouo, whom she left on the second,
blockading Cadiz, with 28 sail of the line." We
are extremely sorry that the Pi ints to which we
allude should, have suffered so much unnecesr.ary
uneasiness, as they appear to have done. We in-
formed them, on Monday, upon the authority
of his Majesty's sloop, the Plow, that the fleets
under Sir ROURRT CALDER and Admiral COL-
LING woo o, had formed a junftion before Cadiz. se
far back as the 26th last, and were left blockading
the Combined Squadrons in that port. The English
blockading fleet, as we farther stated, amounted to
twenty.six sail of the line. We believe very few,
except the prints in fitleatioll, could have entertained
any apprehension that the enemy would attempt to
put to sea, ir. the face of a 13ritish force of this mag-
nitude. -

NJ French, Dutch, or German Papers, of a more
recent date than those, the contents of which we
have already communicated, were received when
this Paper was put to press.—Whatever has been
since offered, respetoog military movements upon
the Continent, whether in the shape of report
or private letters, are nothing but speculations....
The stream can go no higher rip than its source ;
and yet, we do find, that thest: rumours and specu-
lations have some weight, and give to the original
report, a credit beyond the authority from which it
took its rise. The two points to which we particu-
larly all.tde are, the march of all the army, lately
encamped at "Boulogne, for the Rhine, and the atrial
commencement of hostilities upon the Continent;
two points upen which the public now reason as
truisms, and priociples universally granted. We
lately stated, that BO?: AVAICI AL had only a short
time to fight England single-handed, and to redeem
the pledge which he had given in the face of Eu-
rope. To invade England, wrJi a continental war
upon his back, is a labour beyond his achiavement 3
and, therefore, the moment we had reason to con-
clude that a continental war was inevitable, we
ceased to consider the invasion,hut as an idle menage,
Upon the disappearance, however, of the camps in
the vicinity of Boulogne, we must observe, that it
does not striftly justify, in the fall extent, the condo-
