LONDON, OCTOBER: 26, 18oi.

Wz yesterday received Paris Papers to the 23d
inst.—They are barren of intelligence. The Ar-
tillery and all the Fortifications of the Republic on
the Frontiers are to be immediately put on the
Peace Establishment, in pursuance of an order of-the
Consulate.

Tt;E Ilamburs.h Mail due yesterday arrived. this
morning. It has brought us no intelligence of
importance. The work of Peace is aaively pur-
sued in the Batavian Republic, and the beneficial
consequences of the Preliminaries have been more
immediately felt there than in France, from the
resumption of the Fisheries.—A long Proclamation
to the Batavian People, announces the acceptance of
the new Constitution.

The report of the occupation of the BishOpric of
Munster by Prussian Troops, seems to rest on no
good foundation.

The ROYAL FAm t LY yesterday morning walked
from the Queen's Lodge to St. George's Chapel,
Windsor. As THEIR MAIESTIFS passed through
the Great Court Yard, the t oth Regiment of Light
Dragoons, and the Staffordshire Militia, were drawn
up, and the Bands of each playing " God save the
King." A great number of speaators assembled to
pay their respeCts to their Sovereign.

The Rev. Dr. I,ANGFORD, Canon in Residence,
delivered a most excellent discourse from the Prophet
Jeremiah, chap. xxix. verse 7.
" And seek the Peace of the city whither I have caused
you to be carried away captives, and pray unto the
LORD for it : for in the Peace thereof shall you have
Peace.".

After the sermon the Coronation Anthem -was
sung-, in a masterly stile, by the Choir belonging
to the Chapel. ,

His Royal Highness the DUKE ofKE NT yesterday
visiced THEIR MAI EsTI Es and the PRINCESSES.

Yesterday being the Anniversary of His MA-
yESTY'S Accession to the Throne, the Park and
Tower. Guns were fired on the occasion.

This mornilig the ROYAL FAMILY cane 'from
Windsor to Kew Palace, where they reside till
Saturday next.

•The Fi RsT• CONSUL of France has given orders
for Soo Light Horse tu escort the Marquis CORN-
WALLIS to Paris.

The PRINCE of WALES, on Friday, amused the
people of Brighton with a sham-fight. The tSth
ragoons, and parties from the loth and rsth,
with the whole of the Artillery stationed there,
were employed in attacking or defending the town
and adjoining hills. Each street was contested;
and the day being very fine, the scene. was busy
and entertaining., It began at one, and continued
till about four.

SURREY YEOMANRY.--At a field day of the -Re_
giment of the Surrey Yeomanry Cayalry;on Epsom
Downs, the 23d inst. a Letter from Lord_ HOBART
baying been read by Colonel Lord LESLIE, it was
unanimously resolved,

" That the Surrey Yeomen-Cavalry are impresed with
the deepest anxtmost lively sense of His Majesty's most gra-
cious approbation of their condud ; and, as the first object
of their lives is to merit their Sovereign's, thanks, . they feel
it their indispensible duty to continue their zealous exertions.
in de ence of Ht s ;ESTY !S most sacred Person, and the
established Constitution of the British 'Entpire, until' His
MAJESTY, in his wisdom; shall no longer deem their ser-
vices necessary, either` for the protedion of the Country
against Foreign Enemies, of the preservation of its internal
tranquillity."

The Messenger who was dispatched by the Mer-
chants of Paris to' Madrid with intelligence of the
signing of the Prellrhinaries of Peace between Eng."
land and France,. Was arrested by the Spanish Go.
Vernment as an impostor, undeserving credit, and
confined till .a Courier from the Chief Consul con_
firmed his_aecount.

The ;movements of the. French and Austrian

has occasioned is partially filled by the movements
of M. VON Doum, whO appears to have been set
into such a state of adion by the result of the:Elec..

rest. We find in the French Papers no less than
seven articles which merely give an account of his

In Denmark we find one published-nu the Cow. Pox.

cannot be given to Captain Butcher, his Officers,

SIR, tinique, I7th August, iBor.

Having left Case Navirre yesterday in the after-
noon, to follow the Orders received from you, the
next morning at daylight, between Martinique and
St. Lucia, we saw His Majesty's Brig Guachapin
commencing an aftion with a Spanish Ship of War;
to the-unequal contest we made all haste ; but be-
fore we could get up to give a broadside, the
Spanish Letter ',Of Marque La Teresa, commanded
by an Officer belonging to the Spanish Navy, mount-
ing eighteen brass guns of thirty-two and twelve-
pounders, and one hundred and twenty men, struck
to her gallant opponent.
I am sorry to add, the Guachapin had three men
killed and three wounded ; the Ship nearly the same.

ceived from his Lieutenant, Mr. Marshall, in the
strongest terms.
