, 4%3ll:Taws, Man 4e, an Officer.of the 114
regiment of light infantry, and Mr.
. P. Morel, captain of
the privateer Jona, of Dunkirk, embarked at Itautsgate ou
the 16th inst. between four and five o'clock at night, in a
.two-oared boat, fourteen feet in length, in order to put
period to their captivity. During the night between the
:16th and 17th, it blew excessively hard, and the sea was so
heavy, that it proved altogether impossible for them to
steer the boat. At.midnight, they :;upposed to be between
Ostend and East Cappel, when they descried a Dutch big-
ger; by dint of exertion they came within hail of the
bigger, and demanded her assistance. which they stood
in need of, their boat being already half full of water. The
captain of the lugger, John Fenken, ~.nting the distressed
situation of those unfortunate men, used his best efforts to
sa‘e them ; his huvmnne endeavours were crowned with
success, and he landed them safe at Ter \Terre.

V trIN A CPT. 29.—A Courier arrived here on Sunday from
Constantinople, w ith intelligence that the grand Vizier, Mosta-
pita. Earaiciar, ha; called upon all the Governors and great men
of the Ottoman Empire, from Asia, Syria, &c. to deliberate
with them upon the meals of averting the dangers that threaten
the dominion.; of the Porte.—Neue

Charle, of An,tria, has patited through here, and last night a

• BANKS or THE ELBE, Oct. 12.—Neither the Archduke
Charles of Austria, nor the Grand Duke of Wurtzhurgh, went
to the Congress at Erfurth.
Some private ictters from Paris state, that Napoleon has as-
cured some high Officers of State, previous to his departure fur '
Lrfurth, that the golden age should commence with the vearlBo9.
11.30x1 or TUC ELBE, OCT. 21.-1 n the Oldenburgh Coun-
try, some letters from England have been intercepted by the
French and Dutch authorities; and as lately tome papers con-
taining interesting details from Spain and England have been
circulated ; the French a.-ents redouble their vigilance to pre-
vent the truth from transpiring, from which it is with great rea-
,on inferred by many that the Spanish concerns must be despe-
rate. The Danes gave no credit to the glorious accounts lately
sent by the English in an empty boat to Denmark ; the papers
that %%ere found on board the vessel were immediately destroyed
by order of Government: thii the Continent remains in the pro-
foundest ignorance of the events that ought by no means to be
concealed from the public.
It is further circulated, that a British army has defeated the
army of Italy and Naples in Calabria. and knn its march against
Naples. Respecting the ultimate result of the Congress at Er-
furth, not a syllable has been made public.
