AN IMPORTANT CAUTION TO ALL WHO RE.

THP, long-established reputation of Dr. NOR-
it 1 s's
.1)1W I'S having induced a mercenary attempt
to intrude on the Public a spurious imitation, the sole Pro.,
prietor of the genuine Medicine feels it a duty to give a.Cau.
tion against the dangerous effects of such an imposition. A
slight attention to the Duty Stamp on each Bottle of the ge.
nuine Preparation, which bath the. Name ‘• THOMAS NOR.
Ft i s AI 00 It F. ," engrftect in it by favourof Government, solely
and ritirficisely to gitard this invaluable Medicine from hands,
,will be ,a sufficient ;Security against the ill consequences of
countelleit intrusions. The cordial virtues of these Drops
arc adapted. to all Climes and Seasons. And they are, as
those who are in the habit of taking them can testify, not
only a powerful Restorative in most Disorders, but equally
a preserver of health. In Fevers of all sorts, especially the
iYellow or Putrid, so destructive in the West Indies and
America, Colds, Astlimas, beginning Consumptions, Corn-
ki laintss of the Stomach and Bowels, &c. and parcieulatlY in
thediscomforts "and decays of advanced life, eNperienbe bf
More tkiit half a century has indubitably proved their supe
rior efficacy.

Op Monday next we shall endeavour to resume the Review
Of BUOIVAPARTB'S CAMPAIGN IN ITALY, of which We
have given so many valuable articles, highly interesting,
because they vine from an Officer personally concerned in
most of the A Clions, and whose honour and sources of in-
formation are indisputable. We hope to see these Corn-
municaticins calleded and published by some respeaabre
' Bookseller, as they present a complete Portrait of the Mi-
litary and Political Charafter of a man whose elevation is
a subjea not less surprising than lamentable.

SOLII4 QUIS DICSIS 741. SUM AUDLAT

LONDON,

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1808.

Paris Papers to the 2d instant reached town this
Morning. The following is the only articles of in-
telligence they contain :
" The Moniteur of the 30th announces BUONA-
PARTE'S departure for Bayonne the day before.

" Pkß,is, OCT. 3 I.—The Freitch and Russian
Couriers; who embarked on the 20th at Boulogne,
requited on the 23d. As soon as they landed
*at Dear they proceeded for London, where they re-
mained till the evening of,. the 22d. They appear
very much pleased with their mission.

" The Legislative Body have unanimously ex-
pressed their gratitude to M, FONTANES, for his ad-
dress to BUOjAPARTE."

Dutch Papers to the 6th inst. reached town last
night.—Poor Louts BUONAPARTE appears to be very
much distressed between his wish to relieve the
miseries of his subje&s, and his fear of offending the
Tyrant of France._ We stated some days ago, that
in order to mitigate as much as possible the last De-
crees for the prohibition of all Foreign Commerce,
permission was granted • by the Dutch Government
to all Vessels to sail that had begun to load Previous
to.the issuing of the prohibitory Decree. The Dutch
Merchants, however, abused this indulgence, and
another Decree was issued, prohibiting.the sailing of
any Vessels from the Dutch. Ports after the 15th
inst, either with or without Licences. The 30th of
this month is fixed for the return of all the Vessels
that bad sailed.

OD Wednesday, General KELLERMAN'S Aid-dc-
Camp sailed froth Chatham, on board a Flag of
TruCe, for Calais ; but the wind coming foul, the
lessel was obliged to put into Dover yesterday after-
noon. All communication with the vessel ,was pro-
hibited, and centinels placed on board to prevent
ziiy person from boarding her.

'WE yesterday noticed a report, founded upon a
Letter from Holland, that the Emperor of Austria
hal declared War against France, and we aie' yet
unable to give it a positive contradiCtion or confirma-

Con.

It is stated in one of the Morning Papers,
tat Austrian Messenger had arrived yesterday,
with dispatches to that efret from Vienna; but
this. statement is erroneous : nor has any intelli_
genre upon this subjea reached this country, ex-
cept the latter to which we have allnded.

We adverted yesterday to the report said to have
been brought by tie IPindsor Castle Packet, of a
battle having been fought between the Spaniards and
French : that report is repeated in a Paper of this
rii,rnin7, pm!, it is added, that Ministers had re-
c,:ivtd accounts from Gijon to that &Yea. We can
,sure our Pitl.aders there is no foundation whatever
he' report. The last accounts received by6o-
vernment from Spain were from St. Andero, the 3 Ist

At that time no battle had taken place, at
k,a,:t no- acc,unt of ior had reached St. Ander°, but
from the positions of the hostile Armies; it was im-
possible that an asliou could be long avoided. It is
said that General, &Axe intercepted a Letter to
1.4-mrsbal NEY, from the French Minister at War,
in which he inforard hitn, that reinforcements to
the amount Of CO,OOO men should join, him 'before
t4e :15th inst. and that in consequence of this in-
fo':ination' the Spanish Generals had determined to
f7roe-the French to an a6tion before the arrival of
so large an additional force.

.•Tile following Leltex has been sent from Dr.
O'RElL,t.t,"the titular Bishop of ARMAGH, to the
R ):Ilan Catholic Gentlemen of the County of Louth,
\v,',lo had written .to hita,.requesting to know his
o niort of the Resolution lately entered into by the
It 'map Catholic Bishops in Dublin.

I think; and ain certmin, that in forming their
R,'soltnien, the Prehtes did not mean to decide, that
the af)thission of a veto or negative on the part of the
Ci2Nti, with the consent of the Holy See, in the
ekdion ,of Roman Catholic Bishops, •wciuld be,con-
› •
ArAi; to doarine of the Roman Catholic Church,

TO4CORRESPONDENTS.
4',* The Letter from a PLAIN SPEAKER shall appear To-

or to any pra6lice or usage essentially an: indispens-
ably conneaed with the Roman Catholic Reiigion:

Candour, however,.and truth ()blip me to s4,.that

the declaration made by. the Bishops on the
.abOve-
mentioned Occasion, was di&ated by what.. 4 long,
and I 'conceived to be well-founded apprehension,
that the concession in question might eventually be
Ittentlea.-With consequences- ..clangeronsTio—the Ro-
man Catholic Religion ; such danger, in my mind,
and the opinion of several other Prelates, is of a
temporary nature, resulting from existing,.cirCtini-
stances, though many persons suppose it to ari.e
from the nature of the measure, thus giving to the
'Resolution of the Bishops a meaning it does not
bear." . .

There appears to us, wc.confess,s6mething tither
ambiguous in the lattet part of this letter';, one
thing, however, is perfealy clear, viz. that the Duke
of NORFOLK. and Mr. GRATTAN' had not the autho-
rity of Roman Catholic Bishops for the proposition
they made in Parliament. We have more than

once expressed Our surprise that no explanation has
yet been given to the public upon this extraordinary
subjea. An Opposition Vaper'of yesterday, in ad-
verting to that part of the above letter which states
an apprehension that " the eonceSsion in question
might be eventually attended with consequences
dangerous to the Roman Catholic Religifin," says—
" We are not quite aware of
,the circumstances
" here alluded to, but we ,shrewdly suspect, that the
" apprehension stated to exist arises out of the into-
" lerant and bigotted spirit which has been mani-.
fested by the present Ministers since they came
into office, and which, indeed, constitutes the
" foundation of their power."

That the Paper in question should be ready to en.
tertain any suspicion hostile to the present Ministers
is by no means surprising;. but we should have
thought that the DOClor's Letter would have removed
any suspicion of the kind alluded to, for he says " he
has long entertained that apprehension," an expres-
sion he certainly would not have made use of if he
was merely adverting to the time when the present
Ministers came into oflice.,

At four o'clock yesterday afternoon Mr. MERRY
set off from his apartments in Jerinyn,street, St.
James's; for Falmouth, where he is to take shipping,
and proceed from thence upon his embassy to the
Court Of Stockholm.. Mr. MERaY -was accompa—
nied by Mr. AUGUSTUS FOSTER and Mt. SPENOER,•
his public and private Secretaries..
Last night Mr. JoHtcsoN, one of his Majesty's
Messenger's, was sent off with dispatches to our
Minister in Spain.
Yesterday a Cabinet Council was held 'at 'the
Foreign Office, at which were present, his Grace lite
Duke of PORTLAND,'EarIs BA.THURST and CAMDEN,
Lords MuLGRAvE, 1.-(AwKeskiun,y, and CASTLE;-
REAGH, Mr. Secretary CANNING, and Mr: PEBCEVAL

His Majesty's Brig &arrow sailed from Cork on
the 3d inst.. with a convoy for the West Indies.
INDIA-IlousE.—Yesterdak,a Court of Direaors
was held, when the under-mentioned Captains were
sworn into the command of their respediVe ships;
viz. •

Capt. 1. Eastfield, Admiral Gardner, Madeira, Madras,
and Bengal.
Capt. P. Sampson, Dover Castle, Madras and Bengal.
The following ships were taken up, in addition
to those engaged for, this season, viz..
Coutts, Metcalfe, Devonshire, Surrey, and Marquis.Wel-
lesky.
The Court -adjourned- at- seven o'clock tilt Wed--
nesday.
On Saturday last his Majesty's Frigate Brilliant,
bearing Rear-Admiral Sir EDMUND NAGLE'S flag,
arrived at Portsmouth. Sir EDMUND immediately
landed, and proceeded to London. We understand
the Admiralty have ordered Sir EDMUND _NAGLE to
the command of the Leith station, and for whiCh
purpose he leaves town in a few days. The Prince
of BOUILLON succeeds Sir EDMUND as Commander
in Chief on the Guernsey station.
The Court of Inquiry .upon the Convention of
Cintra, it is said, will positively commence its pro-
ceedings on Monday next, at Chelsea. Most of the
Members and Witnesses are arrived in town. Sir.
C, COTTON and Geneilal SPENCER are lrourl ex -
peeled e -
peded from Portugal.
Letters from Bourdeaux have been received at
Birmingham. They reach to the middle of last
month, -and are transmitted by a house of great re-
spetqability. They state that the French inhabi-
tants of Cadiz are no longer exposed to the fury of
the populace ; but, on the contrary, enjoy the hest .
security, both in their persons and property. The
late excesses which the people of Valencia Corn•
"witted against the French in Valencia;are confirmed
by these letters. Such was the burst of popular ven-
geance in that Province, that 31G French persons
were indiscriminately put to death. At the date of
the letters, considerable reinforcements were passing
through Bourdeaux for Bayonne.
PEDESTRIANISM.—A publican at Towcester, So-
merset, on Wednesday last, completed perhaps the
most wonderful performance ever heard of. For a
wager of lot) guineas, he engaged to go .500 miles in
seven days, on chosen ground, and to take his rest
as he thought proper. He started on Thursday.:'
se'nnight, and finished the distance, in Hampshire,
at three o'clock on Wednesday afternoon ; having -
taken his. course through Berks, Wilts, Somerset,
Herefordshire, and part of Devonshire. The pedes-
trian is a stout-made man, not more than 5 feet 4
tieites in height, and a native of Merionethshire.
Time has introduced many impi-ovements in the
festivities of a Lord Mayor's Day. Not aboVe a
century ago, the Citizens dined at Guildhall at an
early hour on that day, and afterwards went to the,.
Chapel, where they heard a sernzon!
We find, that in spite of all BrioN APARTeS severe
decrees at eiinst the introduction of colonial produce
into France and'Holland, great quantities are daily
sent into France. .
