LONDON,
MONDAY, OCTOBER 6, iso6.

Wirux this Paper was put to Press no Messenger
had arrived from Paris., It is, however, now ge-
nerally understood that the Negotiation has com-
pletely failed; we may therefore very shortly expe&
the return of Lord LAUDERDALE, though the French
Government will, for obvious, reasons, endeavuur to
delay-his Lordship's departure.

Paris Papers to the 27th ult. and Dutch to . the
Ist inst. Were received yesterday, but the intelli-
gence which they contain is not very new or. inte-
resting. BoN APART E seems to entertain considerable
apprehensions respeBing Holland, and great numbers
of .French. Troops are continually pouring 4163 thh
Country,not so much for the purpose of -offensive
operations in the event of a War with PrusSia, as to
keep the People from taking that
,opportunity of
making an .effort- to recover their independence.
The French Army in Germany is est.imated, -in
an article from Cleves, to amount to 170,000

men ; besides which, it is. said that 100,000 men
are to 'be colle&ed in the,' neighbourhood of
the Weser. We, are strongly inclined to believe
that there is some exaggeration in this statement.—
The -French Army in Germany, with all. the rein-
forceMents which it has lately received, may not,
perhaps, be much short of 170,000 men ; but the
wholeof that forceeannot be employed against Prus-
sia. A considerable force Must necessarily be left to
watch the motions of Austria, whose military pr.e-
paratiOns are very eXtensive, and must give consi
derable uneasiness to BONAPARTE.
A Proclamation has been issued in Holland for
Calling out-and augmenting the National Guards.

PRIVATE advises, it is said, were , this morn-
ing received, skating that the FrenCh had ac-
tually suffered another defeat in CalabriA, and that
Gen. STUART bad ,been slightly wounded iii the
ataion. We
,are, bov.;ever, inclined to doubt this
information, as naDispatch2s have been received by
Government.

Centdur, at Sea, 26th Sept. 1806.

Yesterday morning, aboout oneeYclock, -I had the
good fortune ,of falling .in with a Squadron of the
Enemy, standing to the Westward ; the Squadron
under my • orders being theta oh the larboard tack,
stretching in for Chasseron Light-house, six or seven
leagues from us,
_the' Revenge to windward, and the
Monarch to leeward, on the•look-oht, the latter
making the signal for an Enemy, when I soon did
covered seven Sail to leeward of me ; and consideringl
them-, in part, Line of -Battle Ships, the signal was
made to form the line, and .i4hortly after I observed
them. bearing up, making all sail, and refining to the-;
S. S. W. • The Signal was instantly made for a t
ral cha-Ce„ and:the m Monarch.,
_freller position and
good sailing, was enabled to keep nearly within gun
shot a - mire and'a half, or little enore,''ahead'of the
Centaur and the Mars on the starboard bow. - At
day-light we made out five large French Frigates and
two Corvettes, one of which hearing a broad pend-
ant ; at five the Monarch bred a few chase--phot, and
at six the weathermost Frigate hauled more to the
westward, in pursuit of which I dispatChed the Mars;
and one Frigate, with the two Corvettes, edged away
to the 8. E. the remaining three Frigates keeping in
close order, indicating the intention of supporting
Each ether. At a quarter past ten the Monarch
opened her starboard guns, on the Enemy, when A
heavy cannonading commenced, and by the Enemr's.
Management of a running-fight, they succeeded in
some measure, in crippling the Monarch's sails and
rigging before the Centaur could get up. At eleven
we got within fair range of two, and opened'our fire
from the larboard guns, whilst the Monarch kept
engaging the third Ship, and about noon one of the
two Frigates struck, as did the one opposed to the
Monarch shortly after.
It was just before' this I received a severe wound
in my right arm (since amputated, and doing well I
hope), which obliged me to leave the deck ; the
Mars, previous to this, had succeeded in capturing
her chase, and with her Prize, hauled towards the
Centaur, in chace of, and firing-at the French Corn-
modore's Ship, and at three assisted in captUring
her. Those Ships of the Enemy made an obstinate
resistance, but the result was, as may well be
suPPOsed-, attended with much slaughter,' being
crowded with Troops out of Rochefort the even-
ing before. . .
I tannot:add too much praise to Captain Lee, of
the .Monarch, for his gallant and officer-like waded,
but I am sorry to findhis loss has been rather severe
-the swell of the sea. preventing, 'at times, the open-
ing of the lOwer deck ports.:. - -
To Captain Lukin, of the Mars,: I feel thankful
foss
,his steady condua..and attention; and 1 have
alsO to eNaress. nay satilfeflion 'at the endeAgers of
Captains. Boyles, King, Sir Jahn Gore, and Mase-

they -Could,.not succeed,. The..triTyC.;•pgCc, frOnf beifig
well to windward, became consi'derably a,stern. after
bearing up, • •
To .Liewenant Case,First oLtlie...Centaur, I ..have

On Saturday Mails reached the Post Office from
Jersey and Guernsey, by which we received a letter
from the latter Island,.dated on Wednesday last. A
Danish Brig, with wheat, was cut out from under
the batteries of St. Maloes, by the Boats belonging
to the little enterprising Squadron under the orders
of Captain BURROWS. Sunday, while cruizing be-
fore the town, the Brig was discovered in a bay un-
der their lee, the points of which were crowned
with batteries of great strength. ' Mr. BOOTH, Mas-
ter of the Strenuous, however, boarded and brought
her out under a shower of shot, and,in presence of

thousands of persons who were assembled on the
beach. A large French- Frigate was in the Harbour
at the time, bur although her farce .was superior to
the aggregate of our little .Squadron she prudently
declined to meet them. _ .

Hopes-ate entertained of the capture of the Re-
gulus and Sybelle, which lately slid so much mis-
chief on the Coast of. Africa, as they parted from the
,Preside'nti week before her capture, and -were stand-

Ing the same course she took. .
The Constance, on the 23d ult. fell in with several
Gun-brigs and chased them itito Granville Bay, tin-

der cover .of their batteries.
Sir SAMUEL. Hoop's arm, it appears, was struck
by a grape shot at the moment that he was extending
it to give orders. The amputation did not take place
for two hours afterwards, e*ry effort being in the
wean time tried to prevent the operation, but with.,
out effe6t.
Independently of the obligations the Country ‘,-Oe'
to Lord Bit:DPORT, Lord Hoop, and to Sir SAMUEL'
HOOD, all of the same family, the memory of Cap-
tain ALEX. ROOD must not be passed. over, who,

whep he commanded the ears, of 74 guns, captured
the Percule of the same force, after a -desperate ac-
tion of three quarters of ail hour in. Brest Roads,
and was unfortunately killed in the moment of vic-e
tory, to the inexpressible grief of Lord Bariertair,
bis uncle, then commanding the Channel Fleet, who
bad detached him for the purpose of intercepting
end. engaging the Hercule, which was separated by
a shaft. of wind from thesrest of the French Fleet,—
This gallant Officer was the._elder brother. of Sir
SAtIOEL- Hoot., and bid fair to have rivalled the
glory acquired by his never-tobe-forgotten uncles.
The highest Military Officer on board the French
irrigates was a Colonel, from which it is supposed
that they were proceeding to reinforce the' garrisons
either of .Martinique or the City of St. Domingo.
Lord HOWICK, previous to leaving the Board of
,Admiralty, gave direaktus for the biaiiding of a Ship
of 74 guns in the, Dock-yard at Deptford, to be called
La Hogue ; and acs' for two Ships of the same force,
to be called the,' Poiaiers and Cressy, to be built in
'the Merchants' Yards. Six Frigates, and ten Sloops
of Warewere, at the same time, ordered to be built.
Tice whole are•to he-fini.illed'with as little delay as
Rossible. •

By the late overland dispatch, we have accounts
laoal India so late as the 25th June, which announce
that Scindea had applied to our Government awl%
for a numberof British Officra to organize and com-
mand the troops which he has assembled, in order
to reduce some Of his refraaory 'tributaries. The re-
quest, which embraces objects of great political ad1
vantage, as well as of incalculable benefit to the indi-
viduals to be employed, will doubtlessly be complied
with. It was in this service, and on similar occasions,
that Generals Dz"BotoNE and PERRON accumulated
the immense fortnites•whics they possess.—Scindea
bas been invited to pal tate of the benefits of the sub-
sidiary treaty existing between the- British Govern-
ment and the Peishwa. He was on his route to
'Poonah, at the date of the last accounts, to meet
HOLICAR'S Vakeels, and settle some disputed points
respe&ing the joint revenues of Malwa. The Berar
*Rajah has formally renounced all &cis of confedera.
•tion with the other Native Powers hostile to the
British interest; and has confirmed to our Govern-
:tent the full sovereignty of the valuable province of
Cuttack, with the district and fort of Belasore, the
revenues of which he formerly collected in 'conjunc-
' tion with the Soubadar of the Decan.—After some
skirmishes, Peace has .been restored between . the
