PLYMOUTH, OCT. .15.—Arr, ved the Intelligent
Gun-btig, from Lisbon, with Dispatches'; sailed
thence' the 2d instant., The second division of the
French Troops laid sailed a few da; s before, under
convoy of the Africaine frigate, having the FreUch
'General KELLERMAN on board. The Fleet on their
passage encountered a .tremndous gale of wind, in
which the dilricaine'lOst her bowsprit, and received
,other danaage, which obliged her, with many of the
Transporig; to put back to Lisbon two of the latter
,were diStnasted, and had sustained considerable da-
.
zst•-=e : three others foundered, and the whole of
their crews, with the Troops, perished; except eight
. persons, who were picked up by the Africaine. It
is understood the whole of the Fleet were totally
dispersed, and serious apprehensions are entertained
of their fate:

• Sir WILLIAM SCOTT had arrived at Lisbon previ-
ous to the sailing of the Intellik. ent, and was busily
occupied in the concerns for which he was dispatched
thither.

It is stated that General Sir HEW DALRYMPLE
had received his recall, and was preparing to proceed
to England.

—Saired Le Tigre, of 80 guns, for Portsthouth.
Auived ttm Peacock Sloop of War, from 'St. An,
dero, with Dispatches, no particulars of which havi
transpired.

A Fleet of Merchantmen passed by yesterday from
-the Westward, supposed to be the lyomeward•bound
Mediterranean convoy. '
By the Intelligent Sloop of War accounts are re-
ceived, that ithe 'last division of the French Troops
Were embarked at Lisbon, and nearly ready to sail.

VERIN, arrived here from Lisbon on. Thursday, and
broUght honie LOed EtntG'll E'R SU, charged with
dis
patches; she sailed on the 28:4 ult., On the istb,
the last division of the French sailed from 'Lisbon,
for Rochefort That very able and experienced Offi-
cer, Capt. JOHN HALSTEAD, of the Royal Navy,
conducted the embarkation of their .horses and bag-
gage, *hich is described as immense in qUantity.
They embarked about 25;000 persons. The delay
in their sailing was occasioned by the Portuguese
daily claiming the plunder; " for," says a letter from
an Officer who was present, " it is not iu my power
to describe the villainous aclions they have been
guilty of, from JUNOT down to the _adjutant. You
have no doubt heard of JUNOT'S stealing the Atike
Of SUSSEX'S carriage, which he left in this place.
liVi,en it was ordered to De re-landed, he pretended
4114 nut ltnovir of it. SeVerat Frenchmen have
been
,murdered by the Portuguese; they never escaped
their vengeance, whenever they met them in a by-
place."

FOREIGN. ATELLIGENCE.

(FROM PRIVATE LETTERS AND GERMA'N PAPERS.)
' • -

The Russian Minister at Kiel. has .caused articles
to be inserted in the Hainhurgh and Altotla Papert,
contradicting the reports of large assemblementsOf
Russian troops on the Austrian frontiers. He states
that the entire nuM6ei- of Russians on the frontiers
..of West Galicia does not exceed 10,200 men, and
that the camps on*he Bog were, for small corps col-
le, ed -there solely for the purpose of exercise., This
document observes, as folloWs, in proof of the amity
subsisting between the two Imperial Courts :
" Although Russia is•rich in leather, she gets the
beots for her army made at Vienna, and very extern'.
sive contracts have been recently made; and are now
executing; under the sanction of the Austrian Mi-
nistry.—Austria has just lent 10,000 stand of arms
to Russia, and a considerable quantity of copper in
bars is now on its passage to Austria, ,being another
payment of the expence of seventeen millions of
florins incurred by the passage of the Russian armies
through Austria in the years 1779 and 1805:
Austrian Surgeons continue to be allowed to enter
the Russian service, and, in fa&, every thing chews
not only than the most friendly understanding sub-
sists between the two Courts, but that each is cor-
dially desirous to tnaintati it."

The French troops, which were on their march
thrqugh Franconia to the Rhine, are stated, in ac-
counts from Manheim, of the 26th ult. to have re-
ceived' unexpeted orders to halt, *lnd -that the
.horses, waggons, Sce. put in requisition for their
conveyance, had been dismissed.--A letter front Nu-
remberg, given in the Correspondenten, states, that
a French corps had arrived at Anspach the preceding
'day from the Rhine, and the next day continued its
route to the North.

The division of Marshal MORTIER, which had
advanced hy forced marches from Silesia to Franconia,

independent of the neighbournunti, are employed on,
the works. Nine regiinents, and vono artificers,

tions, which are estimated at 140 millions of franks,
in 20 days, either by cash or approved bills, the re-
maining halt to be' taken from the royal. domains ;
and the fortressesof Stettin, Custriti, and Glogaw,
to be occupied by 10,000 French troops until the_
whole is paid. Berlin, and the whole of the Prussian
States, with the exception Q f the three fortresses, to
be evacuated by the French betbre the end of the
present month. The King of PRUSSIA has ceded to
France certain pecuniary claims which he had on the
Duchy of Warsa.w..

Austrian Cabinet, consistent with the judi-
cious policy iihich, with a view to improved pre•
paration, delays tEe period of a rupture with France,
has intimated to DOD. DE QUADRA, the Spanio
Charge d'Affairs, that Iris diplomatic functions have
terminated with the Government' which appointed
him. He now resides as a private individual at. Vii
erna, as well as the late Portuguese Minister.
The Hereditary Prince of. WErmrta, the Meck-

nued for the months of October, November and De-
cetnbee.

The late Autumnal Fairs at Frankfort and Cassel
were greatly short of their former importance; there
were but few merchants, a very slender spew of
good;, and scarcely anti• purchasers.
The.Tolish -Regiments which have been taken
into the I:4l.rtich setvice, are..the r st and 2d batialiOns

Large quantities of arms and ammunition having

GARNICRIN, the aeronaut, ascended with his il-
luminated balloon on the evening of the 16th of
August, at 15 minutes past eleven at night, from
the garden of Tivoli, and descended the-foll Owing
morning, past six, at Bronssig, in Woevre, aron-
dissement of Commerij, in the . department • of the
Meuse; a distance of 280 miles from Paris. The
villagers were so extremely terrified at the sighi of
the aerial vehicle, that they all refused him their as-
sistance to secure the balloon, excepting one man,
who, together with Mr. GARNERIN, used every en-
deavour to accomplish it, but the wind being very
powerful, it forced the ropes from their hands, and
the balloon again ascended, taking an 'easterly di-
re&ion.—Mr. GARNERIN is returned to. Paris.
Letters, which have been recently received front.
