LONDON, SEPTEMBER 'Soh

Thu Hamburgh Mail due yesterday arrived in
ourse,and has brought us intelligence more interest-
ing than we are generally accustomed to receive by
that channel. The Letters from Vienna are tht ce days
later than those published In the Paris Papers, that
is to say, of the 29th ult. Lord MINT() had, it app
pears, received a Letter from Constantinople, of the
date of the i 3th of August, in which it is said that
the Allied Army having arrived before Alexandria,
IVIENou had acceded to the Capitulation of Cairo.
This report, however, is father contradieted by the
Letters from Constantinople of the same date, and
%ve are inclined to think that it stands in ,need of
confirmation.

As we predkled some days ago, France has not
been slow in supporting Prussia in her opposition to
the Eleaion of an Et.EcToR of COLOGNE and a
BISHOP of MUNSTER. On the 31st of August,
Citizen BACKER presented to the Diet of Ratis_
bon a Letter from Citizen TALLEYRAND, in which
the latter required BACHER to. declare to . the
Diet, that France opposed not only those two elec-
tions, but
,even that also to any other ecclesiastical
dignity that might become vacant by death, The
Treaty ofZnneville is the pretence under which
France shelters herself as her authority ; and
LEYRAND says, that the French Government will
carefully see to the due execution of it. As the
intelligence froth Ratisbon does not- come down
later than the 31st, and as it was on that very day
that the Declaration of Citizen BAcH ER was made,
we know not What resolution has been adopted on.
the subject. Nor do we find that the general question
of the Indemnities came under discussion on that day.
While on the one hand Prussia and France are thus
insulting, with impunity, the Empire and its Chief,
we see that the latter had decidedly accepted the
offer made to him of the two Ecclesiastical Dignities
for his Brother the Archduke ANTONy. Already
even, had a sitting of the Chapter of Munster taken
place on the 3d ult. but on the following day the
Officer sent to Vienna returned, and brotight for
answer, that the Count of WESTPII AL TA (the lead-
ing Nobleman in the Eleaozate of Mentz), would
first go, to Hildedieim, and thence repair to
.711unster. fle will probably settle with M. VON
POHM, and Prussia and Fiance will Tecoi
sa-
tisfaction.

Fresh Enemies to the Ottoman Porte have sprung
pp in its bosom. A Corps of rebel Janissaries have
t::ken possession of Belgrade, the Paella of which
they deposed. It is supposed, and with probability,
that they are making a common cause with PAswAN.
00G L 0 u. They are doubtless both of them excited by
the same foreign impulse, It is desirable for the
Torte soon to call home part of its Troops in Egypt,
in order to defend the heart and the capital of the
These Troops, inured by sonle battles,
and iastruaed by the example which our men have
afforded them, would probably oppose PASWAN
OcLou with much greater success than the raw
jevies of Romaio have been able t 9 do.

WE this morning received Paris Paper; to the
Ii th inst, one day later than, those which came to
'land on Saturday: They are not very interesting.
The French Funds have experienced a further rise.
The Ticr Culla;Ede is 4t

Though the regularity with which the Freud/
aters reach us, be all that the Papers that have ar-
rived this morning furnish us for remark, those that
arrived on Saturday certainly have some claims to our
attention. For the first time, for a lbng period, do
they publish any tiling of their own knowledge, on
the subjeCt which, next to the Negotiations, and what
relates to the threatened Invasion of this Country,
mast immediately interests us, Emt. The Cap-
tain of the Corvette, the ilaio_pais, which, as it,
pay be recolleCted, had succeeded in getting into
Alexandria, had also the good fortune to escape
from thence in an Armed Pinnace, carrying only
a Crew of twenty Men. Haying reached the Coasts
of Italy, he there iande.l the Dispatches of General
MENotr, which were sent to the Chief Consul.—
`These Dispatches, which are more recent than
those which we have received from cur own Army,
ptate,or rather !lave beesi construed so as to corn-
rnunicate to the Public, the most flattering intel-
ligenee Egrn could furnish after the fall of
Cairo, ./lexandria was, on the il.th of July, in
the best possible state of defence,' with Provisions
for a, great length of
,time ; it was deletded by
9oco Frenchmen, all of whom had sworn to bury
themselves uncle: the ruins of the place, The French
wtim masters of the Lake Mareofis. Of all this,
wig frankly acknoledge that wc do not be.

lieve one word. A tbird part at lust of the French
shut up in Alexandria, consists of Sailors, Civil
Agents, Scavan's, and Artists, and although we
may be told that all those people have taken up arms,
it would be ridiculous to calculate upon them as
effetc.tive SoldierS. One single observation is de-
cisive on this point. If the French were as nume-
rous in that place as the Morsiteur asserts, why
did they never once attack the inconsiderable
force left by us before Alexandria, when the
main body of our Army had marched against
Cairo ? We believe more readily that General
MENOU is discontented with the Capitulation con,
eluded by General BELLIARD, but' if" the Com-
mander in Chief.has not thought proper to accede to
it, he will himself, sooner or later experience that,
necessity often forces men to do things which are
unpleasant
,to them.
if we may believe a French Journalist, a new Flo-
tilla of Gun-boats has found means, by faVour of
the weather and the night, to slip along the Coast,
and to enter Bodogne. This. Journalist draws
triumphant conclusion from this, that as we cannot
prevent the French Ships from passing from Calais
to Boulogne, we can still less oppose their crossing
from the Coasts of France to those of England.—
This reasoning would be good, if the wind which
.blows our Ships from the Enemy's shores, drove
them also away from our own, and was the occa-
sion of their wholly disappearing from the seas
which surround us. We will venture to assure this
sapient Logician, that the French will find them
there, and will ultimately meet with very different
chains in our Ports, from those which confine them
to their own.

'According to letters from Vienne 'of the 26th
ult. the affair of the Indemnities and the Seculari-
a.tions has been concluded upon between Austria,
Prussia, and France, but we conceive that if that be
true, it could not be known at' Vienna at that
period. The Frankfott letter which we quoted
some days ago, appears to have better claims to
credit ; what seems more likely is, that Austria
has in some degree given way to Prussia, with re.
spec to the affair of Cologne and Munster, the
Chapters of which place will not proceed to the
election, as they had announced. A letter from the
latter place of the Ist. inst. leaves no doubt oil the
subjeet. Neither that question, nor the general
one, on which it depends, has since the z+th of Au-
gust occupied the Diet of Ratisbm, which, as it is
known, had postponed until the 3 rst ult. the pur-
suit of that important pplitical subject. It has been
engaged in the interval with the -representation
made by the Envoy of the Republic, 13/113.4.ra, re-
speeting the 'Recruiting carried on in the Empire
by the Prince of LOWE/O'7EIN for the Corps which
he has in our pay. A Conclusum has been draw
up on this subject, and addressed to His IMPERIAL
MAJESTY.

It seems that the Archbishop ELECTOR of
TREVES has been in haste to give proofs of his
adherence to the Concordatum agreed upon between
the POPE and, the French Gell.rt r en t , for after
having signified his, intentions in this respel to the
latter, he has sent his stfrrage to Treves, who has
taken his oath of submission to the French Re,
public, before the French Prefeft. We know not
yet how far this measure will be advantageous to
the interests of the 41,E;CTOR of TREVES.

Among the different Journals which have taken
up the' question of the Negotiations dependant be-
tween our Government and that of France, some
have expressed an opinion that no sacrifices ought
to he made on the Altar of Peace, and others, that.
every thing should he granted which France could
require. Our Readers have been prepared to find
that we adopt neither of these two opinions, for
the one is repugnant to common sense, and the
other is inconsistent with Patriotism. The first
is too ridiculous in itself, and evidently too
erroneous, to make any demonstration on the
subjett necessary. To assert, that we are not to
pay, by any conces....ion ,whatever,' for the advan-
tages attached to Peace, is`to say, in other terms,
that Feace must never be made, and that conse-
quently we and our Children are to continue to kill
and be killed for ever : those who reasc,n in this
way, plunge in the very depths of absurdity and
If, therefore, we think with enlightened men,
with real Patriots, in short, with the Statesmen of
all age,, that no Peace is desirable which leaves it

either tine wish, or the interest, of one of the Con-
trLcling l'arties to break it, and that a Peace may
be too gold, by sowing the seeds of future warfare,
to be early ripened, we 'are, on the other hand,
as far as possible from thinking, that we ought to
make a sacrifice, at the feet.of our Enemy, of our
essential interests, and, consequently, of our Na-
tional Honour, which is concerned in the procava-
tion of them.

Every TRITO3arroN would sooner meet death in
a thousand sliapes than preach, adopt, or approve

such a doarine. That disgrace was reserved for
the Morning Chronicle, which unblushingly ex-
posed itself to it on Friday and Saturday- last, and
we feel it 'Nur duty to expose still farther than it
has itself done, the feculence and abominable de-
' pravity of that Paper.
If this Journalist had roundly advanced that every
thing ought to be granted to the French which they
could require of us, such an unqualified proposition
would have so much revolted the minds and
hearts of all men, that no one could have
been injured by it, but he' Who had ventured
to avow it. Uniting, however, a certain por-
tion of address to the highest degree of malice,
he has been at the pains to involve his infamous
counsels in, some captious or even true propo-
sitions, and connecting them by an artful sort of
logic, he has endeavoured, and flattered himself,
no doubt, that he has "succeeded in giving currency
to the bad by its mixture with the good. It can
hardly be eXpefted that we should attempt to sepa.
rate the mingled mass he has thus made, sentence by
sentence. It will be enough to extraa the spirit of
the whole, and to shew its objeEt.
Amid the censures which, according to custom, and
in defiance of consistency, he heaps on the Ministers
who have made War, and those who are endeavour-
ing to make Peace, he has laboured, as much as a
Member of the Cabinet of the Thuilleries could do, to
persuade us that we have to .expea from France no
concession in return for those which we may be dis-
posed. to make. "The thing," he peremptorily says,
" cannot be done." To suppose that it can be done
is "dorruni-ight trifling." Having thus irrevocably
established that France neither will nor can 'make
any concession, he thence concludes, that we are to
make all, and he spares no argument to shew us the
necessity of it. Not, however, daring to assert
that to restore to Holland and 'Spain what we had
taken from them would not be a.restoration to
France herself, he escapes the objection, by assert-
ing, that the cession of Ceylon, the Cape of Gocd
Hope, Surinam and Trinidad, (would not confer on
France the means of compassing -our destrudion.
What ! after nine years viaories, after having
acquired an indisputable Naval Superiority, after
having made every part of the globe -a witness to
the glory and the power of our Country-;-after
this, we are to esteem ourselves sufficiently fortunate
if we escape destrudion ! This is to be the object
of our ambition, the result of our laboursi of our
constancy, of our sacrifices ! And this writer dares,
in cold blood, to put forth such insulting and igno.
miniciu6 scnrences to his Countrym.n_to English-
men ! Their contempt and their execration of
such an insult, is the only punishment which I
can supply the want of a due severity in the Law.

If indignation did not prevent 04 entering into
argument, he might be told, that while France has
conquered on the Continent, we have been still
more completely successful at Sea. She seeks to
recover the antient Property of herself and her
lies ; we, on our side, are to look for a balance of
advantages on the Continent. We ought, besides,
to have a guarantee, that these advantages should be
as solid as would be the cessions which we. Might
make.---This short explanation is founded on Com-
mon Sense, as %yell as on Policy, and the love of
Justice. All the. sophisms of the Ilfpniteur, or of the
Morhillg Chronicle, cannot shake the evidence of li.

The latter, entertaining little confidence in his
•
own reasoning-s, and mist kinghis inclination to gross
abuse for a talent of criticism, calls in aid all that
his imagination can furnish, to, represent Mr. PITT
as guilty of having made War, and Mr. 4DDI NG-
TON of being desirous to niake.Peace. Could it he
believed, that he has again renewed that accusation
which has an hundred times been successfully over-
turned, that we were the aggressors in this War ?
To the charge against Mr. PITT, he joins that of
having positively qnd.arrogantly ,refitse el to, negotiate;
and we arx again condemned to' call to the recol-
leaion,of our Readers, what is known to all Eu,
rope, and what the Direaory boasted of, as &Is-
SOT boasted of having occasioned. the War, that
after having patiently supported all the evasions and
haughty pretensions of the Quintumvirate, Lord
MALMSURY was abruptly sent away from Lisle
as soon as they had gained the internal victory of the
18th Fruaidor. This experiment made it evident
how impossible it was to treat with the parties
which succeeded One another with such rapidity,
anethis naturally had an influence in producing the
reply to the overtures which 139NArAILTE made with
such haste, and in so extraordinary a manner, when
scarcely seated on the ruins of the DireCtorial Throne.
There was no security that he would remain for any
length of time, master of it, He has now main-
tained himself in, power almost two years, and the
quastion is consequently nolpnger the same as it
wa3 in the beginning of the year i 800. 7- We
may be allowed to express our belief, that if Mr.
PITT were at the present moment at the head of

affairs, he would himself negotiate in these cis,
. ,
cums,ances.

Mr. ADDINGTOIC is not tried wi d less injustice,
nor mentioned with less abuse by the Morning
Chronicle ; nor can we conceive with what face hr
can venture to blame, both him whom he considers aS
adverse to making Peace, and him whom he sees ne.
gotiating for it.. How, in particular, .:an he date to
say, after the prolonged efforts which the present
Ministers, arc making to attain it, that they have
an utter dislike to Peace ; that they hold the opinion,
that Peace has nothinj in itself to charm ? Where,
and when,. for Heaven's sake, have they. uttered or
written any thing like this—and when, and Ji.)on
what occasion herivhey professed, as lifinist.fr4 to
adopt the principles of their predecessors ?—\l'lleri •
we sum up the whoie, and read all that this Jour-
nal utters against Mr. ADDINGTON, because he is
negotiating, we cannot conceive what more it
could have said if he did not negotiate.
What can be the objeft of this Journalist, is
thus insulting truth, talents, and virtue ? One only
—that of removing, if possible, from us the bless.
ings of Peace, by raising, alarms in those who are
treating with us, if they be sincere--or if they be
not so, by furnishing them with justificatory argu.
ments ; for the French may well be weak enough
to adopt such impressions, when an Englishman is
to be found sufficiently criminal to circulate them.
As far, however, as it lies in our power, will we
destroy 'the Machinations of folly and wickedness,
and, in concert with the majority of our Country.
men, will we formally disavow them. Such ma.
chinations are the work of a Party only, and that a
very small Party, as contemptible for its principles,
as odious for its designs. Fortunately, however,
the writings of its tools skew what would be the ,
aEtions of its Leaders ; and we feel ourselves still
more earnest in • tip hope, that the moment will
never come when our'afrairs shall be in their hands.
It is at least more tolerable to see the former disc
grace the Press, than it would be to see the latteg
dishonour our Country.

ItxtraB of a Letter from Rear-Admiral Sir iantes
Saumarez, to Evan Nepean, Esq. dated in Rosia-
Bay, the z6th iBor.

I herewith enclose Captain Hood's Report of the
Venerable's very gallant anion with the French
Ship Formidable, the morning of the i 3th instant ;
and also the Returns of her killed and wounded.

His Majesty's Ship Venerable, at
Sea, 13th July, isox.

You must have observed my giving chase to an
nemy's Line of Battle Ship at day-break, this
tnorning, at seven ; she hoisted French Colours, and
I could perceive her to be an Eighty Gun Ship ; at
half-past, being within point blank shot, the Ene-
lly commenced firing, his stern chace guns, which I
did not return for fear of retarding our progress,
Until the light and baffling airs threw the two ships
broadside-to, within musket-shot, when a steady
and warm conflia was kept up for an hoar and a
Lail-, and we had closed within pistol-shot, the Ene-
..ny principally direding his fire to our masts and
rigging ; I had at this time the misfortune to' per-
'ceive the main-mast to fall overboard, the fore and
inizen-mast nearly in the same state, and since gone,
the Ship being near the shore close to the Castle of
San ti Petri; the Enemy escaped. It was with much
flifficulty I was enabled to get the Venerable off, her
table, and anchors, all disabled, and it was only by
the.great exertion of the Thames with the Boats
~ou sent me, she was saved, after being On shore
for some time.
I shall have no occasion to comment on the
bravery of .the Cificers and Ship's Company in this
who had with much patience and perse-
*trance suffered great fatigue by their exertion to
tei the Ship to sea, and not five hundred men able
1440 to quarters; but I beg leave ro add', I have
been "most ably. supported by Lieutenant Lillicrap,
tecona.of the Venerable, ,(first absent), all the Other
Officers and Men who have my warmest *corn-
Theaciation; and have to lament the loss of Mr.
Williams, Master, an excellent Officer, with many
