La Rdeiirocite French Privateer, Capt. VINCENT
PORCHIN, has sent into Chcrburgh the Diana Eng-

for sAls, white cordage; Ititter,cheese, leather, and

They write from Flushing, that in the night of the
19th .January a small Cutter foundered at -a short
distance from that port : in the morning, at the
turn of -the tia'e, she was seen water-logged in the
midst-of the IA aies, and it was supposed, that all
on board perished. About eleven o'clock a piece
of wixsd,upon' which a .man Was lashed, came float-

,sailors di-
reedy jumped into two boats, and rowed towards. it
in defiance of the tempest. One of the boats reach-

signs of life ; but upon being revived, by medical
assistance, he gave the following account of him-

afterwards met with three other Officers of French
Privateers, who were also endeavouring to escape
from England, they all went, together along the
coast to Harwich, where they seized upon an Eng-
lish Cutter laden with oysters, and put to sea on the
night of the 17th. On the isth they cast anchor
off Blankenberg ; but the violence of the storm
forced the vessel from her anchors; and drove her
upon the coast of Flushing, where she was wrecked.
Messrs. s P rtiß and VAUTIER being upon deck, the
former lashed himsself to it, but the latter was
washed off, and drowned, as were also the three
other Officers.

PARIS, FEB. 11.—Letters from Vienna give us
reason to suppose, that the Austrian Treasury will.
soon recommence its payments.

On the 3d inst. the Courageux, of 74 guns, was

An epidemic disease prevails in Suabia, which has

People-will have it, that the whole, of the .Brest
Fleet is at sea. Government, however; observe a'
profound- silence, and not a word upon this subje&
has transpired through any of the Newspapers. •
JAN. 12.---,A Portugueze Frigate, arrived
from Brazil, -has broUght the following intelligence
Au English .Fleet, consisting of sixty TranspcirtA,
with eight or ten thousand Soldiers on board, be-
ing hr the Roads of Brazil, sent a Brig to Bap, to
announce that, in consequence of a storm they had
been caught in, they were forced to•put in there,
b.ing in wantof refreshments, and unable tO -Con-
tinte their voyage, the.vessel carrying the sealed or-
ders concerning their destination having been entirely
lost on the rocks of Fernando. •

(f The day after the arrival of the Brig, the ,Squa-
' dron entered the Port,. and anchored ; the Portu-
gueze Commander in Chief had
.put all the Forts in
a state of defence, and had armed all the free men,
and even the slaves ; and with his GarrisOn; was
preparing to defend himself, in case- the English
slioald attempt to a& as they haddone at Goa.
The English- General sent to demand refresh-
mepts, and was answeied, that he should be fur-
nished with every thing- possible. He asked per-
thission to laud his Troops, which was peremptorily
refused ; but leave was granted him to send four
hundred men every day ashore, unarmed, who
might walk in an appointed place, and should be
Bolden to return op
,b,3ard in the evening. A place
was also allotted huu to ere& an hospital in for the
sick.

It appears that this SqUadron is there for a long
time, if it be really true that it is obliged to wait for
pew instrations.,
" From the rurriou4ilie English Commander got
circulated at Madeira, when he put in there; and
where he also wished to land his Troops, it is pre-
;umed that the true .destintion of this SqUalron was
Brazil, or the Spanish Possessions."

" SOLDIERS,

" :Majesty the Empercir and ,Kitig has in-
trusted to me the:honour of conduding.you to a
new ,Theatre of War. Whilst his arms-were con-
solidating the foundations lurope, a
perjured Ccprt its:Harbours to the English,
those eternal disturbers; of the Continent, and. to
those Russians, whom, he has vanquished and hum-
bled in the Plains .of Austerlitz. - Soldiers of Italy,
the memory of that immortal day then excited the
transports:of :your-enthusiasm. Your Emperor, has
fixed his eyes on you : he will shortly judge whether
you, are Worthy of partaking of that 'glory with
which so . many.brave fellows baye:corered them-
selves in this Campaign. You are going to the as-
sistance of a Country which knows the rights of
hospitality. you will always shew yourselves„ I
hope, faithful to the laws. of discipline, without,
which true glory cannot exist. Reeolleel, however,
Soldiers, when your arms have opened to,you the
Territory occupied by the Enemy, that though ewe
ought to punish a Power unfaithful to Treaties, we
are not at War with the 'People : the annals of our
Country aftbrd more thau.one example of union and
good understanding between the French and Nea-
politans.
Spolett.a, Jan. 11. (Signed). MASSENA.
,4 The Marshal of the Empire, General in Chief." .

It is not clear, however, that Marshal MASSENA,
who has superseded General GOUVION ST. CYR in
the command of the Army proceeding against
Naples, will long retain the: command of it. We
learn that Prince•JosEi;ll., brother of the Emperor
and King NAPOLEON, is arrived in ',ltaly from
France, to put hiniself at • the head of the Expedi-
tion against
.Naples. It is ascertained, that the Co-
lumn which-arrived on the 19th inst. at Rome, was
quartered near the gate Del PopuTh.- It was, after
some days rest, to continue its march.upbn Naples.
All the Officers of this Corps paid a visit to Cardinal
FESCH, the -French Mitiister to the POPE. It ap-
pears.tliat the interposition of- his Holiness has been
requested by the Sicilian Court, to divert the storm
ready to burst upon. Naples. Such is supposed to
-have been the obje& 'of 'Cardinal RUFFO'S tipro-
dudive journey to Rome; -It is even said, that the-
POPE refused to receive him
..as the Minister of the
King of .NAPLES. This Prelate afterwards set- out
for France, to make a personal application to the
Emperor; but it is. very doubtful whether his jour-
ney to Paris will turn to more account than that
to RoMe. Besides, it is to be. ekpeded that the
fate of Naples soon, be decided by arms. The
aaual state- of affilirs in that Kingdom is,very
perfedly known ; for example, no authentic ac-
counts have been received. respecting the MOVeirit'LltS
of the Foreign Troops which' are assembled there.
Reports 'continue of the re-embarkation of the
Russians. .

VENICE, 22.—Last Sunday 3,500 French
,
entered the City, under the command ;Of General
MIOLLIS. The French fancied at the place ofSt.

SOLEM QUIS DtCERE FALSUM AUDEAT

L O.N-1) 0 N,
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1800.

LAST night we received Paris PaPers to the 12th
inst. and Dutch Journals to the 16th.

The Moniteur has not yet, as might have been
expeeted, made any observations on the death of
Mr. PITT. It contents itself, with copying, upon
this subje&, from the English Papers. The Dutch
Journals are equally silent.

A contribution of'our millions of francs has been
demanded from the City of Frankfort by Marshal
AUGEREAU, by order of BONAPA RTE. For this ex-
tortion no reason whatever is given, except that it
is the will and pleasure of the Emperor of the French
and King of Italy ; and the Senate are informed,
that if the money is not paid the City will be given.
up to military execution ! The Army of AUGE-
REAU, already formidable, was to be joined by the
whole of the. Division under the command of BER
NADOTTE. The purposes for which such an Army
is stationed in Germany •may, we think, now be.
colle&ed from the conduel of AUGEREAU at Frank-
fort. The hitherto free and Imperial Cities of Ger-
many are to be first drained of all the Cash that can'
be extorted frona, them by the thr6t of military ex-
ecution, and are then to be annexed-to theterritories
of some neighbouring Sovereign. • This
,:"win: also
probably o the fate of most of the smaller States of
the--Empire. The French Troops , may likewise lie
intended to serve another purpose, that of forming
an Araiyiol_Obseiyation upon the conduet of Prussia.

Great and i►npor+alt CIIA/ItS Will doubtless soon be
etiettel. • The Secret Articles of to e Trt2aty of Pres-
burgh rertiain stiii to be carried.inte execution ; and

we are persuaded that' they mu,.:11 „more materially
htled the 'es.isting relations cf EUrope than has
hitherto been supposed. An article in.the Mottifiar;
dated from the _Banks of the Mein, darkly Hints at
the deigns of France upon the Turkish
de,igns, the object of which will very soon be de-
veloped, and '‘khielrit will requite ally the power and
intiuence of Russia. to counteract.

These 'Papers contain no authentic account re,
specting any action between the I'rench and Neapo-

_
litans. 'There is, however, no hope of the latter be-
ing:enabled -to make any effedual resistance.—
The Proclamation of MASSENA to. the Army
which he Was leading against Naples breathes all
that spirit of Jacobinism w:oich has invariably elm-,
rae,lerized the ads of the Leaders of the French Ar-
mies, Whether 'under a Republican Of Imperial Go-
vernment. The people of Naples are, if possible,
to be excited,tq rebellion against their Sovereign,
and disaffedion and treason are to he put in requi-
sition, in aid.of the French arms.

Venice, as we stated yesterday, has bee] taken
possession of by the French, and a formidable Navy,
we are told, is to be immediately constructed in
the Venetian Dock-yards, the timber for which
purPose is to be drawn from Dalmatia, which Pro-
vince is also to furnish some excellent Sailors. We
have no doubt that the French will inuneliately set
about Making the most of every advantage which it
is possible to derive from the situation and resources
of Venice.

On Tuesday night and yestciday morning up-
wards of one hundred Sail of Transports arrived in
the Downs from the Conline.nt, under Convoy of
the Ariadne, Hon. Capt. KING.--The• Regiments on
board this Fleet are the Coldstream uards, Ow 3d

or Old Biiffs; the 4th Regiment of infiAiltry, the re ,
mainder of the German Legion, and the de-
tachments of the, Royal Artillery.
Several of the Transports have sailed for Rams-
gate Pier, to disembark their• Troops, and those with
the German Legion. to .Portsmonthl•the latter under
Convoy of the 4riacine Frigate and Wrangler Gun-
brig.
