SOcEII QUTS DICERE FALSUM AUDEAT

LONDON,

MONDAY' SEPTEMBER 1, :806.

The expeaed Messenger from France had not
arrived when this Paper was put to Press. Mr.
Fay LKNER, who accompanied Mr. ADAIR to Vienna,
returned on Saturday last ; but we do not learn' that
he has brought any intelligence of importance.

DISPATCHES have- been received 'at the Admi-
ralty from: Sir, ERASMUS GOWER, at. Newfound-
land,;,
they Were brought by the Capelin Schooner,
Which ;arrived at ---TortsniOuth on Saturday. We
understand, that previous to the. sailing of the
Capelin, Sir - JoHN' R. -WARREN had arrived, -off
Newfoundland in pursuit of the French, Squadron.
It is probable that' the gallant Admiral afterwards
bent, his course to thetoast of America, as we know
that Admiral GUILLEAUMEZ'S Squadron, was off
tharlestown'on the 20th of July..- . -
Rear-Admiral STIRLING sailed on Saturday froni
Plymouth, in 'the Sampson,' 01;64 guns, for the
Cape Of Gbod Hope. He took under his con-
voy. the Sir Stephen Lushington 'and the Earl
Spencer Eao Ind ia m en, two Whalcrs,,and four Store-
ships. The gallant Admiral endeavoured to sail with
phis ConvoX on the 20th ult.. but was forced to put
back again by 'contrary winds.

WE have'received Dutch Papers to the 2gth ult.
and a Halizburgh Paper of the 20th ult. the contents
of which will be-found in 'a subequent Column.—
It appeals that. there was no foundation for the re-

port o; an Ai ion having taken place in, the neigh-
bourhood ,of the Ems or the 'Weser, between the
Prussians and the French.' It NV as` indeed very im-
probable that, in the present dispersed state of the
French Army, .BONAPARTE would wantonly attack

the; KING of PRUSSIA ; and we, have
_seen too much

of the disposition of the latter to suppoSe that be
would begin the contest. His NusslArr MAJESTY,
however, continues his military preparations with
the greatest vigour, and very considerable Armies
have been formed under the command of Generals
BLuECHER and The differences between

Prussia and Sweden-are, we have reason to believe,
adjusted. As soon. as the KING, of SWEDEN found
that His Pitussl‘N MAJESTY shelved a dirposition
to resist the e.neroachinents of the French, he offer-
ed; with that Magnanimity which 'he has uniformly
displayed, to
.bury in oblivion all grounds of dispute,
and to join with him against the common Enemy.

Our Readers will find among the extraEts from
the foreign Papers; a Letter from M. JACOBSON
(Agent of Finances to t hi- Court of Brunswick) to
BONAPARTC. We ought, perhaps, to apologize
for laying before th.cm a Letter which contains such
gross iffipety and blasphemy ; but as it tends to
throw a con6derable light upon the new plan which
,
BotiApARTE leas formed, we thought itour duty to
lay it before the Public.

STIRLING,
,for -the Cape, of Good linp,t she took
under convoy the-Sir Stephen Lushington and Earl
Spencer East India Shipi,• two Whalers, and four
Store-ships : the latter are laden with zeeQssaries for
the use of the Settlement.

Sailed the Bellerophon, of 74 guns, to Join the'
Channel Fleet. ;This' Ship- was 'erroneously stated
to have sailed on Thursday eyening, With the Squa-
dron under the command of Rear-Admiral Louis,
in, pursuit of an Enemy's Squadron ; it was •the
Theseus, of 74 guns, and not the. Baierqhoh. •
- Yesterday morning about 300. of the 7th, or Prince
EdWard's Regiment, disembarked from two Trns-
ports, which came,here from Bermuda, under con-
voy of the Hercule, of 74 gtos. 'The remainder of
the Regiment are daily expe&ed to arrive here from.
Halifax. They are a very fine body of . mem, and
landed in exec.-Bent health and ; they have
been upwards of sixteen yeais on foreign service.
Arrived., the Danish Ship Frende :Winner, Capt:
Moxck., from Cette, bound to Copenhagen, laden
with brandy, &c. detained by the, Unity Privateer.

ing for the Eastward, with Transports under convoy. ,
' The Winclsor Castle, of 98 guns, 'went out of
Harbour this morning, and anchored in Cawsaud
Bay.

The 4lcasta Frigate, of 38 guns, came into Har-
bour this afternoon to refit.

Tram°, Auo. M—While the English Captains
were on koard the Yet, rin, they learnt the following
particulars :
Admiral GUILLEAVME6 and '..TEROME:couId :not
agree, it seems, respecting the destination of the
Squadron: JEitbr.!E' was for returning to France,"
while the Admiral persisted in staying at sea seme
time longer, in the hope of doing something .to
insure a welcome on his return. [oi.: perhaps it
was. policy to send Ji.im‘te's Ship home -.sin-
td give "him a better chance of escaping.
.1
It also appears. that‘they ept.4,L'ited an'English Squa-
dron after them ; but Brother JcifonE most magna-
nimously resolved not to wait jirr them. During a
chace, he -contrived to lad astern,. and when
the rest of the Squadron were a long way ahead,.
and as he supposed did not observe ,his move-
ments, he bore up for Europe, and left theta
to shift for themselves., It was reported •among
the Officers of the 'l4.4eran, that JE:torte, on-
his arrival. in France, is to be dubbed ,King
Sardinia. . He is' described as a most effeminate
little animal, but assn r,ies as much as possible
to appear like a man. If e wears vzustachios on
his lips, and allows his beard to grow- under hls
chin, &c. 'ln his. dresshe is most superb-gold la-ce
all,over. His gaiters trimmed 'and laced with gold;
his pantaloons edged and figured-with gold, ike.Scc.
His royal lips are. not permitted to touch an), thing
but gold ; he has a speaking-truMpet of that metal,
h which he " bellowsforth ljis harsh commands"
to his Officers.
