WEDNgSDAY, SEPT UNDER 23, 1807.

Wit received last night Dutch Papers to the 20th.
inst. which.contain 'intelligence from Paristdown to
the 16th. BONAPARTE is proceeding with gigantic
strides towards the accomplishment of his favourite
projeas, viz, the entire subjugatiOn of the Con-
tinent, 'and the exclusion of British Merchan-.
dize from every port. The feeble Kingdom of
Etruria will, probably (though of his own creation),
soon cease to exist, even nominally, as a Kingdom..
A French Corps of 4000 men, under the command,
of General .ours,_ entered Leghorn on the 2nth
ult. and took 'posiession of the Harbour
.and Forts.
A Proclamation was immediately issued for the dis-
covery of British property, and for laying an em-
bargo upon ail our Vessels. The French, it is also
stated, have taken, possession of Trieste.and Fiume,
which, with the occupation' of Cattaro and the
Republic of the Seven Islands, will give to
France the complete command of the Adriatic. On
the Other lurid, a large portion of the Russian Army
that was lately employed in Poland is• advancing
rapidly into Moldavia, notwithstanding the an-
nounced cessation of hostilities between Russia Iltid
TUrkey. Ourßeaderrwill recolleft; that when we
first announced the terms Of the Treaty of Tilsit,
we stated:our belief, upon very good authority, that
by the Secret Articles of that Treaty, Russia was to
receive a compensation for the sacrifices which she
made to BONAPARTE in the North. The march of
so considerable a Russian force towards Turkey,
under the present circumstances, convinces us that
our information was correel,' and that France and
Ruisia will very soon divide at least the European
Provincei of the Turkish Empire. , •

It is stated'that the Adstrian.Government is malt-
ing very aaive exertions to' augment its military
force, and, indeed, the .situation of Austria will be
most perilous if France and Russia accomplish these
ohjeas. We fear, however, those exertions will
now be top late.

. ' We noticed yesterday the projet of a new Mini-
•
Medal Arrangement given in a Morning
Paper ; we
copied it merely, as the rumour of the day, which
had riot eveo probability to give it credit. The Duke
of POIITLAND, we, entertains no sort of in-.
teOtic,o.of tvi;g'o;ng his Post. Fie was called to it by •
his Soy saatos, •to wilorn he was attached by every
public atid person'sl motive, when that .ott MIRIAM Wadi
deserted by Ministers who assumed to theniseives the '
,sole capacity of carrying on theGOvern Men t. Fs ran lc,
his chaarseier, and his talents, enabled Itim•to form an'
Administration, which has, by the confession of, all
' Foreign Powers, exhibited 'a degree of firmness,", of
v'tgont;.Sndof-Wisdom, unknown to their predeceo-•
sons. That any set of men should wish to dissolve
this Administration, or to weaken the hands by
- which it .is kept together, we can impute to no pa-
triOiic'motive. "46 may Vpicture Co assert; !hat the
proposed arrangetrient; in all its parts, is totally
" without foundation. .

`Fliese reports, however, as far they concern "the
People of this ,Country, are of no great moment ;
they are known to be the manufaiclure of a party
anxious for change, and little solicitous of, the
means by which it may be produced, and will he
incalidated or refuted by the stories of to-morrow •
but, the serious evil is, that the Ministers of Foreign
Powers resident in this Country,,and who are not so
well acquainted with the restlessness, the ingenuity,
nor the hostility of Opposition, and who dread no-
thing, so .much as, a change in the present, spirited
and energetic Administration, are agicated •and• de-
ceived • by them, and, it is to be feared, iirtie-
times ad upon them in their bispatches:fuop-
position are well aware of this, and perhapi we
need seek no farther for the real origin and motive"
of these aid similar fictions. With regard to a
par.igraph which appeared in a Paper of

:would or conic) admit a person' wholly irrespoivible
into tit CounciLii. a:id if, tor argument sake; we
admit the possibility of such an anomaly,
.that per-
' son must be incapable of making the aid which !leis
hare supposed to giVe, a circumstance of pOile
notoriety. Upon 'the whole; we caution the PUblic
against giving, credit to, all those rumours, which
selfahticsi and intrigue may spread:

The intrepid, of 64 guns, arrived at Portsmouth
yesterday.' It is supposed that she brought Dis-
patches •from Lord COLUNGWOOD, -but they had
not, we believe, arrived at the Adthiralty when
;this
Paper was put to press.

Monday the Duke of Yonx arrived at Windsor,
and transaaed business with Hi 4 MAJESTY for up-
wards of an hour.• His Royal Highness afterwards
took an airing with •His MAJESTY, Princesses
So-
-I'illA, AUGUSTA, and AMELIA, accompanied by
Cqunt MUNSTER, Sir HARRY NEALE, Generals
HARCOURT, FITZROY, and CARTWRIGUT, and CO..
lonel TAYLOR, and returned at twelve o'clock. Tho
Duke of YORK returned to Oatlandsin the evening

Yesterday the Duke of l'Orm held a public daya
bis Office in the Horse Guards, and gave audiences
to the Marquis of FIUNTLEY,EarI CHATHAM, Lord
CASTLIIIIRAGH, and Sir ROBERT WILSON, for the
first time since his atlival with dispatches from Loid
HUTCHINSON. His Royal Highness likewise gave
audieticeto Lieutenant CATitcAwr, and a number.
of other Military Officers.

His Royal Highness the Prince of NVA.L.cs, it is
expe&ed, will continue to enjoy the sumptuous hos-
pitalities of Ragley until Thursday next, of which
many of the neighbouring Nobility are invited to
partake. On 'that day he is to take love of his
Noble host, and •prOceed to Lord CRAVEN'S seat at
Coombe. Abbey, near Coventry. Altera short, stay
at that place, his Royal Highness will.theu honour
the Marquis of DOWNSIIIRE and Lord FOLEY, with
visits, but the precise days'are yet uncertain.
The Duke of YORK leaves town this day, on a
tour through Suffolk and Norfolk, on a shooting
party. His Royal Highness will. at the same
time,. review and inaped, the different regimenb
and corps in that district.
Mr. MoNtiev., it seemi,, is still in England, and
has no intention at present of leaving this country.
Last night some important dispatches were sent
off by a_King's Messenger to the Lord Lieutenant of
Ireland. ,

The King-of SWEDEN, we lament to say, isse-
riously indispq,sed with the flux, attended with a low,
intermitting fever. I-le had the first appearance of
it at Stralsund, but, contrary to the advice of his
Physician; inid the special exhortations of the Offi-
cers of his Guard, he 'refused a temporary retire-
ment from his military fatigues, and would take no
medicine WO requircd'continQuient. The conse-
quence -is said to he .very alarming ; a. bulletin is
rtailyi issued---tire i:ibt intimated, that His MAJESTY
continued in an silarming 'state of relaxation.

lit VETT, nF lOW•IITHEET.,--The circumstance of
Dr. MEADE making his escape, in Ireland, from•this
very adiVeOilicer of the 'police, and, of the subse-
quent offer by Government of
,b 991. for his second
apprehension, and the 'muffler in; which . it is sup-
posed he efrOled his escape, 'are: sufficiently known
to the public. always ,acknowledged by
Ithe Magistrates of -Abe ,Flow7st feet Police, as one of
the very:best Officers; telt exceedingly on . t ccount
of the circumstance; and, on his return from Ire-
land, appearectio btr nr.tch dejeCted. The particu-
lars of the Dot or'steseape . having been. told to the
2Vlagiitrates by '4t VETT., and several 'other corrobo-
rating„Circuaiita-uces having"come to their-
ledge from different nnarters, they were fully Sen-
bible that not the least imputation could be attached
to the ehataaer of their Officer ; and he was then,
and has repeatedly since, been requested to think' no
more of the matter. Notwithoanding the assurance'
of the Magistrates as to ltis uuioceiu e, Await has
never since been, able to, raise. his 'spirits
.their
nsnal pitch, but daily grew worse ; at the beginning-
of last week he :41044(c, d ' yrnpiorns. ef, a deranged.
mind; and by.the middle.of it, .it, was found uecessa-
7'y to place him under tits, care• of two. men. He
continued to grow Worse ; and, early on Sunday,
morning last, he contrived. to' 'effect his escape.--,
About five O'clock he Went to •Mr. Ga.tnAm's,. the
.114pgistrate's, house, in- Great Queen-weer, 'Linceln's_
Inn-fields, where he, knocked until Mr. GE4I:IAId
put iiisltead out of the' window. Mr.. G, who wits -
the night before appriied of RiVsres situation, en-.
quired hiM kindly what 'he wanted ? when he
-wig answered, he must ',immediately come to the,
Office that' be' (Itivfi,rr) had discovered
,4
_plot
which would end in the destruction of his M4JESTIr
and all the ROYAL FAMILY, if not instantly' prevent-
ed. Mr. GaAnot thanked him for his attention to
so important a .concern ; and supposing that
.the
men from whom he bad made his escape would, in
all probability, be on the watch for their fugitive
near the Police Office, in Bow street, direaed him•
thither, promising to follow him immediately.—
It !VETT went .dire6tly -,to the
,Office, where, fortu-
nately, the keepers were in' waiting !for him, and
he was secured. The whale of Sunday he con-
tinued to grow worse, and, before night, was in a'
complete state of tnadnegs. On Mondarmorning he
was conveyed to a mad-house, with very little hopes
of his recovery.
