PARIS, JUNE 21...—P1111C.0 &MEWS, Viceroy and
Commander in Chief of the Artny:of.lt?ly, writes
that General LAURISTON, who arrived-at Ragusa on
the 26th of May, was apprised that the Russians,
in conjunaion. with the Montenegrins, headed by
the Greek Bishops, were advancing to take posses-
sion of Old Ragusa. He dispatched Captain SER-
RANT, of the .sth Regiment of the Line, with two
Companies and four pieces of cannon to'occupy that
post. This Oificer took a position at Old Ragusa
on the evening
,of the 29th of May., He found`
the inhabitants in great consternation,the barba-
rians, who were destroying every thing . with fire
and sword, being within half a day's march of them.
The inhabitants, moreover, had but little confidence
in they.
French, whom they did not conceive by an
means equal to mountain warfare. Captain Sea-
RANT, imtnedidtely made a disposition of his force.
The Enemy, to the number of about a thousand,
appeared at day-break, and began the attack with
hideous shouts. The French sustained it Calmly,
with. artier, and silence, attd- returned it by a well;
supported tire. The tiring continued for three hours.
A Corporal, perceiving the enemy's colours, rushed
forward, to seize them, and was killed by a musket-
shot. The barbarians fell upon him, and cut off his
bead. The French became indignant at this 'fere-
cions a&—they charged the enemy from all sides,
and drove them, at the point of the bayonet, to the
confines of Cataro. The inhabitants could scarcely
• recover from their astonishment when, they per-
ceived the French, with their knapsacks on their,
backs, scramble up the rocks and mountains even-
better than the Montenegrins. These honest peo.
pie did not know that no obsticles could arrest -the
Conquerors of the Alps ! The Second in Command
of the,MOutenegrins under the orders of the. Bi-
shop, was killed, and from two to three hundred
of their followers remained upon the field of battle,
after having been turned and driven up against some
stupendous rocks. Gen. LAURISTON, in the mean
lime, sent three more Companies to the assistance
of Capt. SERRANT, which did riot arrive until after
the engagement.
_ _

On iite same day the Russian Frigates proceeded
to attack Santa Croce, on the supposition that it had
no Artillery-; but the a6tivity of Gen. I...kunisTort
had pr,)v;cied for it. There were upwards of forty
pieces ot cannon, and ati-pounders, well manned,
and 'supplied., with ammunition. The Russians
made atf as soon as they perceived the batteries un.
masked.

This event VZIM not only produah of joy but of
a degree of.eothuslasm to Ragusa. The inttabi•
tants, cOnvieed of the power and intrepidity of the
Frenco, no langsr fear the Missions or their san-
guinary and-merciless neighbours. the Montenegrins.

RAGIJZ, JUINTE 26:-.4otelligencq of an epidemic
disorder having broke ow at Tunis being received,
the necessary measures to prevent its introdudion
here have already been tpiten.
According to intelligence from Berlin, via France,
dated June 12, that Court was in daily expectation
of an answer from the English Government to- its
last dispatch—and. this it seems is to be decisive
of Peace or War. In case the English Ministry do
not accede to the propositions of the King of Prus-
sia, the Garrisons of Berlin and Potsdam, and the
Troops in the occupation of Hanover and Lauen-
burgh, are immediately to march for Swedish Pome-
rania, under the command of Prince FERDINAND of
Prussia, in order to ad in concert with the Army of
General Ii.ALKnEuTH. It is not however likely
that England will reeide from its demands.; and,
tiom the doubtful condo& of Russia, it is probable
that-she leans to the English side.
According to letters. from Naples', of the 6th inst.
it was supposed that kGaeta, more and more in-
closed by the French Army, would soon be com-
pelled to surrender, or incur the danger of being
stormed.

They write from Rome, dated June 8, that
Corps of French Troops was arrived there—pro-
bably, as some think, destined for Naples—but, as
others cenjeaure, to remain in that City preparatory
to some-political change-
N AILBS, JUNE f 547-Xing Joszpir, anxious to
tlimitiish the burthens,,which press upon the people,
1135 proposed to his ;Cos neil of State to abolish the
duty, which, upon lis.Accession, he Was obliged to
lay upon Stilt. This determination has diffused the
liveliest joy throughout the City. During his voyage
to Calabria the King received many strong memo-
rials against this tax, which was accordingly sub-
mitted to the deliberation of the Councitof State at
its third Sitting. This measure has produced the
most agreeable surprize; particularly when it was
seen that his Majesty was desirous to diminish 'a
burthen which pressed very heavily upon the poorer
classes of Seeiety, notwithstanding he had to sup
port an Army of t 00,030 men, to make new roads,

and repair the former.
On the 25th ult. all the. Authorities, Civil and
'Military, as well as the Clergy, took
,the Oath of
Fidelity to the new Sovereign.
Cardinal RUFFO, Archbishop of Naples, who re-
ceived the King upon his entrance into the Capi-
tal, and who, in an Address, recommended to the

clergy and People to acknowledge the new So-
vereign, and swear obedience and submission to
him, was the only person who refused to sub-
mit himself to this a& of duty. This Prelate, in
consequence, received orders to quit the Kingdom
without delay, and Soon afterwards set out for
Rome.
At the latter end of May an English Cartel with
a few French Soldiers taken at Capri; entered the
Port °Maples. _ _ _

AGUE, JUNE .s.•,—Want of room yesterday
WOU d not permit u. 5 to give a full detail of Vie ko-

iemnities ',WO distinguished their Majesties
Entrance the day before. Dinners were given by
the different Ministers, and French as well as Dutch
Officers were entertained, partly in the Hall of the
French Theatre, and partly ht the New Doelon.
The healths of their Majesties were given, with va-
rious toasts. About nine in the evening a con;i-
derable Band of Music arrived before the Palace in
the Wood, and played under the apartments where
their Majesties were at' the time. About ten some
expensive fire-works were displayed on the Parade.
His Majesty appeared this day in a General's uni-
form, and with the ribband of the Legion of
Honour.

In the afternoon, in order to unite the Soldiers of
both Nations; wine, bread, and cheese, and pipes and
tobacco, were distributed among the Troops in the
Malihan, and tranquillityand good order every where
prevailed.
The Illuminations, so far as the weather permitted,
were very fine : the view of the different,Towers
where the wind could not make any difference, the
lights being enclosed in lanthorns, was peculiarly
striking. The great triumphal arch in the Tournooi-
veld- was very handsomely lighted up, and. exhibited
a very grand appearance. . All the public build-
ings were illuminated ; and notwithstanding the
unfavourable state of the weather, the .number of
the spectators iu the public streets was very consi-
derable, and though most of them remained out of
doors all night, every thing pissed off without the'
least disorder. •

' JUNE 26.---By a Royal Decree, dated June 25,
1806, it appears, that his Majesty, having observed
that the affairs of-the Colonies and the Marine De-
partment have been hitheito managed in con-,
junetion, and being convinced that this important
Branch of the Administration of Public Affairs 'was
An objettofhis solicitude, especially as the Ministry
of the Marine embraced too many objects to remain
any longer united with any other Department; and
as.the Minister of the Interior was sufficiently occu-
pied with the superintendance of the public build-
ings,' &c.' it is decreed-- -
" That ihere shall be three Dire&ors-General, in
rank immediately next to the Ministers, viz. the
Direttor-General of the War Departnicnt, the Di-
rector-General for India Affairs and Commerce, and
the Dire4tor-General for the Affairs of Public Merit,
and the Administration of Justice ; these Direaors
are to have especial charge' oi every thing that re-
lates to. the security of the Kingdom, and shall
enjoy the same honours and salaries, &c. as Mi-
nisters. Our Ministers are respectively, .and each
for themselves, chated. with the execution of this
Decree."

Another Decree of the same date, haVing for its
objett, as much as possible to confirm and promote
the relationship between the King and his Subjeas,
'by putting them in a way to; inform him of their
necessities and requests, orders the Ministers and
Dire&orsGeueral to give a public audience once
every week, the day and hour to be by then op.-
pOinted ; when the Ministers and Direaors- are
bound jto attend in person; and not to a& by their
Deputies; excepting in cases of sickness and unavoid-'
able absence.

In consequence of this Decree, a Minister, or
Director-General, is to hold a second Port-folio,
provisionally-:—this Minister is to give two public
audiences in the course of the week,
On the Mondays, Wednesday, and Fridays of
each week, in. Officer is to attend at the Royal
Palace, from nine in the morning till two in the
afternoon, there to receive, in his Majesty's name,
all such requests, petitions, 'and claims, as may be.
presented. A list of the same is to be made out by
the same Officer, and presented to his Msjesty at the
Levee on the following day.
A third Decree, relative to the Public Funds,
orders the Minister of Finances tp furnish his Ma-
jesty with an account of the affairs of his Depart-
ment, and the state of the Public Treasury, once in.
the year, •

The Minister of the • Finances, provisionally
charged' with the Port-folio of the Interior, has
presented to his Majesty a number of Deputations'
from the Ecclesiastical, and- other Public Bodies ;
and among them the Superiors of the Portuguese
Jews, and •Mr, RICHARD WILDING, ,the Engliah
Pastor at the Hague.
PARIS, JUNE 26.—Never were there more false
reports in circulation than at this moment; the Ger-
man Journals are full of theiri, and they are very in-
discreetly repeated in ow Papers, which conceive
themselves authorised to do so the moment they find
them buried in some very obseure and very ignorant
Paper. Is it otherwise possible that one of them
should not have perceived the impropriety of copy-
ing from a German Paper the intelligence' that the
Elo6or of BADEN was upon the point of resigning
the GovenPuent of 'his Country, and retiring to his
estates ? The Zleetor of BADHN will no longer
govern his pelvic than it is to be wished for' their.
happiness. To govern is not a mechanical art, for
which, ardentyouth is_better qualified than advanced
age; and it rs well known there exists no Prince who,
in the course of a, long reign, has occupied himself
More constantly, and who continues to do so, for
the happiness 'of his Subjects.' Such an article should
not, under the 'pre6ent circumstances, have been
adopted by a French Journal. The Editor of ano-
ther Paper having read in a Neapolitan journal that
the 'Kingof Naples had made some regulations in
the salt duty, for the purpose of rendering the collec-
tion of it inure equal, immediately annonoced. that
the tax was to be abolished. An Augsburgh Paper
says, that the POPE was going to Avignon: It is
vely natural 'that the Editor of a 'German Journal
should' be ignorant that the POPE has, nothing to do
with Avignon; but a French Journal should have
known, that theterritory.Of Avignon is called at this
day the Department of VanclUse.

Were wq to notice the current iqorts of the day,

, .
miftPlattay a great deal relative to the general ex-
peaatioti of .a Peace with Russia, and of that conti-
nued correspondence between our Court and that of
Berlin, whiCh ;some people connea with 't he existing;
but hitherto very slow rind tedious negotiations with
England. Besides these, there are reports of the Em-
peror's intended journey to Rome,
'&c.
" We have received London Papets to the Bth of
June. It is again rumoured at London that France
has made new propositions of Pence.- It would seem
that these reports flatter British Priee. One-would
imagine that England is in no need of this Peace—
that she is undet no :ipprehensions either for her
commerce, her colonies, or herself; one would sup-
pose it were even disgraceful fur her Ministry,to put
a stop to the evils of the present, or to provide
against. the dangers of the future. In the midst of
these rumours the Ministry,Continoe to aa an equi-
vocal part. The Public are now greatly at a loss what
opinion to form of the sentiments, talents, or politi-
cal probity of Mr. Fox. The tumours of Peace,
which were so joyfully circulated at his appoint-
ment to the Ministry, had a very natural cause
his sentiments were bettet known at that period than
they are at present. As he had given hopes of his
effeaing a complete revolution in the political sys-
tem of the English Government, it became him to
make propositions instead of. receiving
.them. It
belongs to the party ,that changes its 'principles to
make itself known. Mr. Fox had at that mo-
ment an immense advantage : his popularity in
England, the • friendly reception- he had met with
in France, -the personal consideration he enjoyed,
would have given great weight to-his advances. can
.hardly be doubted, but that in theielative situation
.of the two countries France would have willingly
received propositions suitable to the glory of both.—
Mr. Fox should hare marked the entrance'of his
.career by a shining stroke which had placed him
above all 'his predecessors,. He. had a. decided ad-,
vantage in making use of. the general preposses-
sion in favour of his promotion. But instead of an-
nouncing himself with that dignity of chara6ter, he
tampers and seems to imbibe by degrees.the spirit of
the old Cabinet : he lets several months pass away,
without any frank explanation, -and sets out by
diplomatic Notes in the 'style of his predecessors.
Thus he has evidently been wanting either in address
or in good faith. Before a man purchases a house,
he should know whether he means, to live in it
such as it is, or to get reparations made in it :.be-'
fore one launches into_a trade, one should have
_cal-
culated 'his profits, and enabled-one's self to knoW
on what side to turn one's speculations.
,Thus Mr.
Fox was doubtlessly aware of 'the course he should.
have to steer before he placed himself at the ifielm
of the' State. After spending his whole life in-the
study of political affairs—after so long combating the
system* of Mr. PITT---4t was naturally to be pre-
sutned that he- came forward with a plan ;ready
settled, with invariable resolutions. If, he fore
saw what
"he is now doing, he was of :
if he has changed,hispriociples, he betrays a,
ness Unworthy of his rank. People
,Wander
,how
the present Ministry-. should have so many ene-
mies,' and that the latter 'should so bitter in
the reproaches 'they make
.them. It is, however,
a very natural' vengeance ; they, have a pretty ex-
tensive field to combat them in, or' to abandon
theni- to ridicule. following' -the 'road of the
former Minktry, , they do not preserve. tbe sam,e 4d-
vantages ; in. pu,•saing their. chimera, :they reduce.
themselves to , take more disastrous Means. Those.
-who lately Complained of the inordinate- extent of
the power of England, wish to augment-the load
which weighs on:her population ;. her military es-
tablishment and the number of her taxes, if, that
can be 'called nUmber.which
.is already innumer-
able. They make a great, hubbub'. about pecula-
tors ; but never -were peculators and other State de,
linquents more shamefully spared. • Lord WELLES-.
'LEY, Who .would probably have, been impeached
had the late Ministry. not been-remOved,now comes
off, not only clear, but evem loaded with enco-
-miums by the orators of both patties. Lord MEL..
VILLE, whom.
.tire late Opposition had the credit of
bringing 'to trial, will perhaps be acquitted by- the
influence of that same Oppdsit;on become Ministers.
This contrast is no less singular than it is opprobri-
ous. In fine, under whatever point of view one con-
siders it, one loses the esteem •one had conceived for
that Administration so much desired for the safety
of England and the repose of the world. They had
great things to do and a most precious opportunity of
doing them ; but if they have not the resolution
to place themselves above the . Administration they
have superseded, they condemn themselves to remain
for ever below them."—Argys,

TRIESTE, JUNE 7.--=General BELLEGARDE
rived here. Three thousand Austrians are embark-
ing for the Mouths of the Cataro, to,deliver up the,
'Forts to the French, with the artillery
.which were
there at the moment it, was occupied by the Russians.
RAGU,SA, JUNE 9.--7-Four thousand Montenegrins,
supported by a -Corps of Russian Troops, entered
the territory. of Ragusa. They destroyed every thing
in the plain. of Cagnioli with fire and sword: it is dif-
ficult to form an idea of their barbarity. Four hun-
dred French, who were sent forward to reconnoitre,
compelled theM to halt. General I,AuaisTox, in-
formed of . their number, ordeied* Colonel TESTE,.,
with 1500 men, to advance. A battle took,place,
and the *Barbarians were driven at the .point of the
bayonet to their mountains.---(2ll(yziteur, June 27)
MILAN,'JUNE U.—the Russian Ssuadron having
attempted an -attack.on the night of-the .3d inst. in
the neighbourhood of Capo-d'lstria, was completely
repulsed. The inhabitants of Muja, who took up'
arms against the Enemy, contributed much to make
them retreat, by keeping up an incessant and well-
, direeted fire against them. Gen. SERAS Made a re-
port of this affair to his Imperial Highness the
Viceroy of Italy, who has.ordered the Prefe& of the
Department of Istria to express to the lziraVe inhabi-
tants of Muja his satisfaaion in .their zeal and bra-
. Very uPon this occasion. '

FRANKFORT, JUNE 23.—Letters from Munich,

Bavaria becomes itior'e intimate every'day. .The two

FOANKFORT, JUNE length--the Frenci:
Troops are to leave Germany : the French Emperor,
faithful to his engagements, gave orders for their de-
parture as soon' as he bad certain information that
Austria Lad fulfilled her part of the Treaty of Pres-
burgh. We now receive information, from every
quarter, that the, Divisions of the Grand Army ara
'in motion for their retreat. General VANoAz.i:lno
who has been some months at Landshut,
march for Nieubtirgh on the i 7th, and will proceed
from thence througts Nordlingen to Strasbur-,-i-
General SoULT will also .leave his Bead-quarters'at
Passau in the course of a few days. The few French
sick on the other side of the Ithtne will also be:6n-
veyed Strasburgh; where a park of artillery from
Gunt rgh arrived some days ago. The return of
the Austrian prisoners now goes on without nil.v2r--
ruption. The last'Column of these Troops readied

THE HAMBURGH MAIL.

ROBIE, MAY 17.—The Prince of HESSEOrs-
THAL has aelually receiVed a reinforcement of Eng,-
lish, though their number is not known. Yester-
day he made- a.sortie with three columns ; the first,
consisting of five hundred English and Napolitans,
went by water to a distance of six miles from the
place.—The greatest part •of them took possession
.of the little Fort of St. Andrew, iapon the high road
to Naples, where they killed a number of French
belonging to the Garrison, and spiked the cannon ;
bat being soon after attacked by a superior number
of French, twenty .English and eighty Neapoli-
tans were made prisoners, one Of whom was hang-
ed immediately upon an olive tree by the road side.
The rest of the column retreated to the mountains,
and it is probable that their retreat to Gaeta is cut
off.. The other two columns, with the Prince at
their head, made an attack upon the French works ;
but.after a little skirn,iishiner they returned to the
Fortress. In the. mean while the English kept up
a brisk. cannonade from the sea, and did, some da-
mage to the French. Sicily has an army of 30,600
men on foot for its defence, but most of the Officers
are natives. Sir SIDNEY SrIITH is cruizing off Gaeta.
TRIESTE, JUNE G.—Notwithstanding the late
Manifesto the Russian Squadron has not yet left this
Pert. On the 4th two Ships of the Line stretched
towards Istria, ~where they were attacked by a
swarm of Italian Gun-boats, but without effea.—
The Russian Ships that remain here are out of the
reach of the batteries.

VIENNA, JUNE,-18.--The report that Ragus-a is
blockaded by RuSsian and British Ships of War
wants confirmation. Last, 'Saturday our garrison
manoeuvred upon the glacis, and performed several
evolntions in the French manner.

COZaT.ANTINOPLE, MAY 28.—The last letters
from Arabia bring very unpleasant accounts Of the
progress of the Wechabites. They have lately
stopped the caravan with the Pilgrims going to
Mecca, shot the Pacha who conducted 'them, and
killed a number of his pleople., 'These rebels are
already augmented to a formidable army, and their
numbers daily increase, which occasions much un-
easiness in the•bivan. 7
