SOLE NI QUIS DICEME FALSVM AUDLAT?

L O.N D 0-ZT,
FRIDAY, OCTOgER 24, 1806.

WE had yesterday the good fortune to be enabled
to lay before the Public, exclusively, the. gratifying
-- -
intelligence received, by Government respe6ting the
French Squadron can landed by Admiral VILLE4V-
,
We hav9 since - is
eived further information
upon the. subjet. The irench Vessels of which
e\,
the .B#Llona and ale Bellei4 went in Chace, were the
Patriote and Eole,of '74 ganstach ; they succeeded in
getting into the Ches4peak, where they are at present
blocked up, and from which there is no probability of
their ever escaping. .L'impetuezq,of 74 guns, was, as
we stated yesterday, driven on shore, and burnt by
the Mc/amps, and Admiral V;LLEAVAIEZ'S Ship,
the 'Muth-dyad, got into the Flavannah in a most
disabled state ; . the castor, of 74 guns, sunk in
the storm; and the. Valeureuse Frigate;- of 44
guns., has arrived at' Philadelphia. The whole
of VILLEAUMEZ'S Squadron, which, our Readers.
. . .
Will' recolleEt, consisted of five Sail of the Liner
after JEROME. BONAPARTE left him, are thus 'ac-
counted for, The whole. Squadron may be con-
sidered as completely lost to France. It 'is indeed
possible. VILLEAUNiEZ . may, in the Fouctroy ant ,
escape to Europe ; but the two ' Ships in the
Chesapeak are cut off - from all chance of an
escape. It also gives us sincere pleasure
.to find
that all the 'apprehensions which 'we entertain•
ed respecting some, of the Ships of Sir ItICHARP
STRACHAN'S Squadron are unfounded.. The gallant
Admiral himself arrived at Fayal, in the Malta, of
r .
86 ganS, and having shifted his Flag to the Triumph,
of 74 guns, proceeded to the Chesapeak.

Wg received this rnornino4 Paris Papers to the
14th inst. The following are the principal Articles

which they Contain:
BRANNAU, SEPT. Qo.—We are assured, that the
condemned "li;':n to' death' exectlrion of the
sentence depends upon the pleasUre of the Emperor.
MENTZ, OCT, 8..-41rehave been astonished to
find that a Courier iivho passed through Wesel,
and who was sent by M. KNOBEi,SDORF, should
have been confounded with M. KNOBELsDORF
self. That MiniSter arrived here from Paris on the
'fitb, and will remain here, for we still hope that a
• War will not break out between Prussia and Franee:.
PAnis, OCT. 13.—The Troops which are in this
City have received orders to march withotit delaY,.
to join the Army. All . the Reserve .of the:depart-
ment of Eure received ordrs to march on the gth.
The situation of the public mind at Paris is really
remarkable. We expea every day, but Without
the slightest uneasiness, to hear of the comthenCe-
luent of hostilities, and yet the reports of Peace
prevail over those of War. Yesterday it . was
said that Letters from the Grand Army, of a very
recent date, stated, that the Hostile Armies were
in sight of each other; but that the KING of haussiA:
had sent one of his Officers with a Letter t& the
French Head-quarters, addressed to the Eniperor.—
It is added, that the Prussian Officer was very soon
sent off with an Answer.

. In the night between the Bth and 9th of O&ober,
the English made an attempt upon Boulogne, with
a new species of Infernal MaChines. If they wished
to make a noise they succeeded, for all the Letters
agree that there was, a dreadful clatter; but they
also state, that no person was killed or wounded :
two houses were very much, and several others
slightly damaged.

WiAITZBURGH, OCT. 4.—lt appears -that- the
Grand Army has received anew organization, and
.
the •eontniaudi are allotted. We are assured- that
this immense force, which is the most formidable
that France ever colle-ted, will be divided into three
Armies, viz. the centre, right, and left wing; that
each of those Divisions is to be commanded by
two: Marshals of France ; the whole under the
orders of the Emperor. The Armies are in presence.
of each other, but the Negotiations are going -on.
'Hostilities have not yet coturneuced. Letters from
Gotti'd a6sure us, that the Bth of Oetober.u/il4 bathe
decisive day.

WURTpURGII, 'OCT. - G.—The Head-Inarters of
the French Army was yesterday removed' to Barn-
bergh. His Imperial Majesty set out fbr that place
in the night. His. Majesty. the Ling of Aliprtem7
burgh; and his Serene Highness the Grand Duke,

of BAtENOare gone to join leis Imperial Majesty at
Bamberg. We tre afraid that the Ki Qf
'VAI4.I is also gone thither.

Tins morning we received New York, Poem kJ:
the sth ult. they were brought by the Princess
Mary Packet, which arrived at Falmouth in 42.
days from Halifax. The intelligence contained in
these Papers, respe4ing the British and French
Squadrons, is not of solace 4 date as that which we
have received from other quarters. It appears,
frotri the followin,s Emma, that some Of. the per-
sons pk.o by the Spaniards, on board Mp;ANDVS.
Schooners, have been executed as pirates :
We sincerely sympathize in the affli&ion of the
friends of those unhappy ;pep who have lately been-
executed at Porto cavelio, Let them, however, find:
consolation in refleaing, that they have cotne to an:
untimely end for no crime. Aauated byaxener-ous'
enthusiasm in the cause of persecuted and oppressed,
humanity; they embarked with General MIRAVI' ro,l
on his noble enterprize of liberating a large portion
of their fellow7creatures from the most galling ser-
vitude, civil, political;, and .religious, which ever
weiped down the spirits of human beings.

f If the people of the United States were warrant-
ed in shaking off the yoke of England, how much
greater reason have the inhabitants of Spanish Ame 7
r:ica in resuming the blessings of Freedom,.of which
they have been deprived. ever since the settlement
of that country ? Not ninny years will elayse be 7.
fore the names of the ten vidirns who have beeit
lately immolated at the shrine of DesF,otisM will
,b 3
as dear to the friends of Liberty. as those of .),Nru.7!

" It would not be rashness to predid,
.that in less
than twenty years, perhaps in twelve months, their
heroism and their fate will atibrd a pathetic theme
for the orators, and a subject for the painters and
sculptors,of the Caraccas."

Tics Writs for the New Parliament, we under-
stand, will certainly he iosucci this night.

A letter from Barhadoes, of the i th'ult. states,
that some incendiaries endeavonred to set fire to that
town on the night- of the 9th of that month, and
'had a6tually set fire to a Public Office; it was for-
. tunately discovered, and extinguished before it had
proceeded far. A reward of 5001. was offered by
the President of the Council, as present Governor,
for the dete6tion of the perpetrators ; but without
effeEt. The letter -adds,, that the French Fleet on'

tain latitude by. Admiral ALLEMAkT, with six Sail
more from Toulon, which he left on the 20th of
