SULIIAI QUIS DICIRE FALSUMisIIDEAT ?

LONDON,

TUESDAY, AUGUST 12, 1806.

IN addition to the intelligence which we yester-
day laid before our, _Readers ‘respe&ing Admiral
COCHRANE, and the French Squadron under Ad-
miral GUILLEMEZ, we are enabled to state; that
the two Squadrogs were in sight of each other
on the 6th ult. ; at that time the'French Squadron
was under an easy sail, and Admiral c4IHRANE
standing after them with 'a press of sail.

As the French Squadron sailed from Martinique
Cu the 30th June and the Ist of July, and Admiral,
COCHRANE left Barbadoes on the-2d July, they must
either have sailed very bady, or have intentionally
loitered on their passage, for him' to be in sight
,•
of them on the 6th.

It was espe6.ted—that the British Admiral would
make an attack upon them in the night, with a view of
cutting off, or disabling some of their rear Ships.

The Homeward-bound Fleet was at anchor off
Tortola on the sth ult.

WE received last night Paris and Dutch Papers,
the foriner to the sth and the latter to the 9th inst.
They do not add much to the mass of, intelligence
which we have lately received from' the Continent.
We are, however, happy tofind that they do not con-
tain any official confirmation of the victory which was
stated to have'been gained over the English in Cala-
bria. If the French had gained a decisive viElory in
Calabria on the 4th or sth of July, the details must
have been known in Paris before the s.th of August.
The silence therefore, of the French Papers, •tends
strongly to confirm the opinion which we expressed
on-Friday, viz. that the., account of this affair, in
the linch PaperS, was unfounded, or at least. very
much exaggerated.---We have extraCied from these
Papers the Address Of the Imperial Commissioners.
to the Jewish'Depnties who haq been assembled at
di,;) Quostions propounded to them by
order of BON APA RTE.AVIEh resped to the latter,weap-,
prehend that very satisfaa.ory AnSwers Might have
been obtained from any intelligent Jew, withont con-
Veiling a specialAssemblyfOr the purpose of obtaining
the desired information. It'is not yet known what are
the privileges whiepQN APa ItTE tneans to grant them;
but whatever they may be, he will take care to have
a valuable consideration for them. The. French
Papers contain an account of the 'gallant attack lately
made upon the French Vessels, in the Mouth of the
Garonne, by the Boats of the British Squadron cruiz-
lug oft that Port: 'lt appears that the Boat of the
lievi!nge, which was missing, fell into the possession
of the
‘E&emy.

AT a late hour last night the Hanzburgh Mail due
on Sunday last arrived. It is said that the Deputies
from the-States who have agreed to form a Federal
Affiance, tinder the prote&ian of BONAPARTE, are
to meet at Frankfort on the Ist of next month.
The power of the EMPEROR of GERMANY, as the
h •ad of tire Empire, may now be Considered as entirely
a: ni!iilated; and we shall not be surprized to find
,BONAPARTE insisting. that hi 4 Imperial, Majesty:
• 014.0U1d renounce the title of " Emperor of Ger-
„Trimly," and confine hiMself to the one which he
lately assumed, Viz. "Emperor of AUstria."

IT has been stated in a Provincial Paper, that .
" I he' Hiherriia has been vi6tualled for a long voyage
'take the Prince Regent of Portugal to the Bra-
zils, and to establish him there as King." It. is
itainly true, that the Hibernia, hai been fitted
for a long voyage, and may probably be em-
p'oyed for that purpose if circumstances should
r. ;der it necessary. We stated some time ago,
that one of the menaces thrown out by BONA-
PARTE during the present Negotiation was; that
if the British .Government did not consent to a
P, ace, be would take possession of Spain and Portu• ,
gal, and annex them to his own Dominions; or,'what
is in substance the same, bestow 'upon theai Some.
(,I hi; own family It is, therefore, by no means im-
probable that the PRINCE RECENT' may 1v..r.; de-

i,crnl;ried to retire to the Brazils, in the event of his

European Dornimons being taken from him ; and;
of course, th'e-Brltish Government would alf&d.-I;im

every possible assistance.

'Thpugh the terms of, the 'recent Treaty between
France and Russia have .not transpired, it is' still
strorw_ly insinuated that M,D'OuBRIL has probably
exceeded. hiscoMmission; and• that the Treaty will
not
~,bte, ratified "by his sovereign. We• have, before
mentioned, that all observations of this' kind -must

be founded merely' on conje&ure, and that it is by no
YrneanS likely that M. D'OUBRIL would .have pre-
; sumed to a& in a matter of so much importance
1 without, full autholvity from home. But the great

change in the Russian Cabinet, and the recent dis-
' mission of some respectable French Officers who
hate. long been in the Russian Service, will suffiT
ciently account for the Pacification which has taken
place, without supposing that an AMbassador would
venture to assent to any terms for which he had not
I a full warrant from , his Master: •

It has been stated that .Lord YARMOUTH was pre-
Sent at all the conferences which took place between

M. D'OungiL and Get}eral CLARKE on 'the sOje&

of the said Treaty; but granting
,that his Lordship
was aanally present upon these occasions, however
fair aid open the'condu& of France might appear in
that respe&, it is evident that such Secret Articles

may have been agreed upon as would render' it
ridiculous indeed for us to rely on suCh an' affe&ed
show.of ingenuousness and liberality. ,

Mr. Fox was so much lietter this day, that the
hopes of his friends now almost .amount to an ex-
pe&ation that be will entirely recover from the effeets
of the disorder which, for some time, was
.attended
by symptoms of the most alarming deScription.

His Royal Highness the Prince of WALES, after
celebrating his Birth-day at Brighton, will, it is said,
immediately set off, to attend York Races. His Royai
Highness, on his way, will stop a few days at Mr.
M. A. .TAYLOR'S, at his beautiful seat near Ferry-
bridge, Yorkshire. After the Races, his Royal High-
ness will honour the Earl of FiTzwiwAnt with a
few days visit on his return, at Wentworth House,
near Rotheram.

The DUKE ,of YORK left Dover last night for
Brighton; on a visit to the PRINCE, to be present at the
celebration of His Royal Highness's Birthday, who
completes his 42d year to-day. The DUKE of YaRK
.will arrive in town on Thursday from Brighton: -
At four o'clock yesterday. afternoon Baron DE JA-
COB! Kthrsr, the Prussian Minister at our Court,
the Baroness JAcor.i, Baron. CO'NSTANCE JACOBI,

in a post-chaise and two, and a coach and 'four.
They were to sleep at Rumford, and proceed froM
thence this day. to Harwich .His Excellency wilt
then go on, by way of Hamburg-h, to Berlin.

. The vast increase of the Methodists may_reasori-
'ably excite alarm in the Metuber,s of the Established,
Church. According to; report,• the SOciety' have
added to theirnumber, this year, nearly nine. thou-
sand persons; and fifty additional Chapels have been
opened within the same period. It is certain that,
the Preachers among these' people are, in general;
much more active than the reg-ular'Clergy.

BRIL has signed at Paris, Russia guarantees Dalmatia.

VOLUNTARY CRLMATION.—It appears from a late
publication that the n umber of women who submitted
to be burned on the funeral pile of their husbands
within 30 rrliles,rohnd CalcUttaampunted only in the
short space between the 15th of April and the 15th
of 9Clober, 1804; to 116. Such is the prevalence
of this shocking superstition, which it is to be hoped
that the 4radual progress of English laws, manners,
and religion, will, in a great measure, suppress, if
not altogether abolish •
A Medical Professor has declared that the Op-
thalmia, which has affeaed several, of our Regiments,
is of a contagious nature.; but there is no reason to
believe that any complaints of the eye are contagi-
ous. - His advice, howevgr, that people should' not
wipe their eyes with handkerchiefs which'have been
used by persons who have the disorder in question,
is certainly very proper; but for the honour of com-
mon sense it might be considered as wholly needless.
Mr. ROBERT PALMER, the gtor; last night began
a species:of entertainment, at. the. Lyceuni, in the
Strand, upon the same plan as the memorable Lec-
ture on Reads, by the celebrated GEORGE ALEX-
ANDE>R STEVENS, of facetious notoriety.—Mr. PALL
MER recited sketches of the Living and the Dead,,
with many ehara&eristjc Portraits'of those whimsi-
cal Personages, who will always he found among
mankind. The whole of this entertainment was
written by CHERRY, the actor, and, was delivered
by PALMER with Slid) humour, spirit, and variety,.
as afforded much gratification to a very numerous
audience.

Miss LARRMAN, who made such asuccessfUl debut
at Brighton, in the cliaratte:r of Rosino, was to have
performed Leonora, in The Padlock; but was un-
luckily preiented by a severe cold.
