DEAL, JAN. 24.

Tfi E Eugenie Sloop of War sailed yesterday to
the Westward, and the Countess of Sutherland and
Skelton Castle, Country Indianien, to the River.
Arrived His Majesty's Ship La Volage, with a
Fleet under convoy, from Jamaica, and the Gannet
Sloop from a Cruize.
The'Brig Lovell, from Waterford, with butter,
which was reported to have foundered in the
Downs, has been picked up at sea by two Boulogne
Boats, and carried into Calais, where she arrived
yesterday afternoon about four o'clock.

In our Paper of Saturday we stated that Sir En w.
HAMILTON, commanding the Trent Frigate, had
been tried by a Court-Martial and dismissed His
Majesty's Service. The Charge was " for sending
the Gunner and his crew up in the main-rigging for
three hours, when the Gunner was taken down in a
fainting fit, through the severity tithe cold."

The First Lieutenant stated in his evidence to the
Court, that Sir EDWARD, on going out of the shirt
between nine and' te,n in the forenoo9, gave very
particular orders to have the guns and carronades
on ttie quarter'-'deck cleaned, .which orders he de'
livered to the Gunner ; that Sir EDWARD returon
ed about eleven, swore his orders had not beet
complied - w.ith, damned the Gunner for- an °IL,'
rascal, and instantly ordered him and his yhole
Crew to be seised up in, the shrouds. • He further
stated, that the guns, carriages, .&c. appeared td
him 'to -have been remarkably. well cleaned.. •A,
rope yarn,.6i 4iart °fa swab, lay on theIDUZZIeW
ohe carronade ; the carriage of another was, marked"
11' the feet of the topmen passing to theshrouds ict
order to ascend, which he explained tO Sir ED'
WAkD, but to no' purpose. These fans were cor.,
roborated by the Officers and Quarter-Masters. a
the \Vatch. •

It appeared that the Gunner,' an elderly trans
with a family, remainedp seized up about an hoot
and a half; that he requested the Surgeon,., who
ivas walking the qUartep-deck; to represent to Site
EDWARD, that if he was not taken down he should
faint-;; that, in consequence of the BUrgeon's re' I
presentation, he was taken down and brought ifro
where he adually fainted ;...that he requested Su.
EDWARD repeatedly, if culpable, to try him by i
ourt-Martial, and in pity to his age andinfirmitiest
not to seize him up:* The circumstance happened'
daring the cold . frosty weather. The Guntter !
crew remained seized up until past three id th
afternoon.

Sir EDWARD, in his defence, Said, that motives
of humanity had often restrained him from bring;
ing . tfie Gunner .fet a'.Court.:Martial for repeated
intoxication, .ah ,he had a family, and was an 016
man. He stated, that he had been in His
jestv's service ever since he was eight years I.
age; daring which time, he had been concerned
in Many .eugagemeArs with_ Fleets, single Ships,
and several times on' shore : he trusted, there-
fore, that as. "his whole life had been :devotea
to the service of his King and Country, 66
Hon. Members of the CoUrt would be --siitisfiecif
that in his condUet on the z ith of. January, he had
not the least intention to hurt the Gunner ;
that the punishment was given in the heat 'of
lent passion, in consequence of . the Gunner..hAvi'gi
disobeyed his orders: Sir •EDWARO `Having called
in his favour' several witnesses, who bank all heard,'
the Court was cleared for th'e MeMbers-to consider

The defence set up by M. StitZtß is very singu-
lar. He excuses himself by alledging that he jinn_
gined he might, .without blame, employ the same
means to overturn the present Government, ‘vhich
it had:employed six months before to overturn the
former Government..
The followinglteport has been made to the First.
Consul, by, the Minister of :Police!:
" CITIZEN CONSUL,
" A Eand-bill was lately clandestinely circulated, contain-
.
ing every calumny that it is possible to accumulate in a great
City, and.in which all that is respeable and respeded in the
Nation is*treated by these miserable libellists with the lowest
intainy. These despicable writers were not aduatect either
by motives of public or private interest.
" TheSe subaltern scribblers soon perceived the avidity
with which Foreigners sought after details of the private life
bt the chief Personages in the State, and especially of the
.rirst Consul; and founded upon this the hope of obtaining a
dishonest gain. The principal end of the publication was.
to gie 't6'the•world all that had been said, done, or thought
by the Vir'st Consul,, 'at
•
'.eyery instant of the day or night.—
The writers; with the' most laughable impudence; brought
forward Atutz:e4ores from various scandallous Chrmlicles'
Which they:rottulished under new titles. The great nurn-
?Der of Foreigrle% who are at Paris spread, these publications
hroUghont Europe; where they gave rise to the most 'ridi-
tulous reports; and absurd fables, which were seriously re,
land in Gerthan and English Newspapers', and soon spread-
ing through Paris and the Departments, alarmed all the weak
Riinds in trati'cc.:. •
" The Police procured a Copy of this Publication; but it
'4PPeared so contemptible; that little importance was attached
ti it ; but the necessity of seeking out its Authors was soon
.felt, when it was found to be repeated; not only every day,
but sornetinies twice a day, contairing the sane infarnies,
real inquietude was created. The Police, therefore,
bdid net hesitate a moment- to take the necessary steps in the

~' . A Letter from TALLEVIANIi til the Mayor of
Lyon contains the following intelligence :
" I(he First Consul, incessantly occupied with
every means that may conduce to the prosperity of
Commerce, has profited by- the re-establishment of
Peace with the EMPEROR Of RUSSIA,, to invite that
. Potentate to renew the ancient.commercial connec.
tions between that COuntry. and France. The EiNt-
l'Ekott of RUSSIA, ;i6tuated by the same motives,
had returned an answer full of dispositions entirely
analogous
.to those of the French Government, and
enixetremely favourable to an .advantageous.establ

an immense crowd of people, :bet tlle Chief ConsUl
at near a league
.room the city. He was 'received
:amidst the most tinbounded_aecramationi. He is in
'petfe& health. -
- LYONS, jik. 13.:----Ye;terday alt the Constituted
Authorities,-and a gre4t number of Military Men, of
whom several. had lately arrived from Egypt, were
:presented-to the CHIEF CONSUL. He afterwards re-
,Ceived Deputations from the Mercantile: and Lite—
rary .Eudies,
.and entertained each of them with
suitable conversation. The PrefeCti of the Southern
Provinces were also presented to him. These audi-
ences lasted till about three o'clock. He afterwards
received the Members of the Extraordinary Consul ta,,
to the number of +so. He conversed with their' in
their own languages, upon. the charges which are to
take place in the Cisalpine Republic, tipon ;he re-
spea which, they ought now to.fe'el for them Selves,
as becoming members of a free nation, 'and upon the
'duties which would co'nsequently. devolve upon
them. He exhorted them, :to.,turn their attention,
in the first place, to such measures as were the best
calculated for' the. security. of property, and the
maintenance, of 'religion. This second audience'
lasted till six o'clock. 'ln the evening the First
Consul went to the play, whet he, was received
with the loudest acclamations. The whole . city
was illuminated at night, and, probably *ill be so
during the remainder of his residence here: Amidst
the general jay which has been displayed here, that
of the soldiers who have returned,from Egypt has
been the most remarkable.

ARLES, JAN. 6.-7-During the last century; there
Were no less -than seventeen inundations of the
Rhone, but not.one of them was near so destrtiaive,
or continued so long, as the one which has lately
happened. We are now completely surrounded
with water, for the fourth time since the 9th of
November.; • and every thing that we saved from
the former inundations is now completely. de-
stroyed.

HVrtlNcrN JAN. r.--.—The day before yesterday,
at two o'clock in the T4fternoon,,Cit:zen ChANc EL,
the Coniinaridant,-, :.was inf6rmed the •Rhine was
rising in the most rapid and alarMing manner. He
immedia7ely gave such orders as appeared most ne-
cessary., upon such emergency. At this time the
Wind was •very high, there.. was a considerable van_
dry 'of rain, and there ;was every symptom that
the riVerVould rise 'still higher. Orders were, then
given to-all persons who possessed carts, carriages,
&e. to hold them in readiness at a moment's .w-arn-
ing, to carry dung, &C. to placeybefore .the -gates
of the town, •to hinder the Water from coming in.
At . half past three yesterday morning the writer
was sb- high, that-_all the cellars in' the town were
'completely filled; and on the outside of the walls,
the water was two feet deep; It has; however,
since begun'to subside.

HAGUE, J. i0..---The Cannon Vourideries are

cannon of all sizes, winch aFe intended-to be sent
to the Color. Yesterday the list of the Russians
who were in the Hospital of Hanslaa'dic; pass'ed
thyoligh this,Ciry. They are going to Cologne.
HAGUE, JAN. I4.—The first extraordinary Sit-
ting of the Legislative Corps took place yesterday.,
In cortipiiance with the 3'oth Article of tht Consti-:
tution, a. Commission was named, charged with the
discussion of such Laws as are presented by the Go-

vernmente .J
Citizen. BActiii a Dutch Merchant, has :been.
recognized by the Court of .eeters burgh, as Commis-.
sary of the commercial relations of yur Republic.
JAN. 6.—We know now with cer-
tainty that the diftl,rence which took place between
the Ambassadors of Russia and France, •on the sub..
jet of etiquette, has been accommodated to the
satisfadion of bath patties. M, de COB ENTZEL,
perceiving them both near him, requested them to
,repair to his Cabinet, where the reconciliation was
soon made: M. cle.R.l.zumowsxt declared, that if
he was not the first at the door of the Hall of Au..
-diencei he was at. least the first who arrived at
Court, whilst Citizen CitAmrAtNy persisted in
saying, that being there exactly at the hour appoint-
ed, he had conceived he .might enter, without' in-
jury•tb the rights of others. It is thus hoped that
the 'sending of the Couriers, who were expedited by
both Ambassadors, will not be followed by any un-
pleasant consequence. This affair" has not failed,to
cause a certain sensation at Court„ and the fault is
attributed to the aetual Grand Chamberlain, who,
in conformity to the praftice of his predecessors,
-ought to have.remained in the anti-chamber before-
the audience to entertain the IVlinisters, and art4nge
the etiquette, relative to their precedence.

VENICE, DEC. 30.—Letters from iVatles of the
1-th December, announce, that the Regency of
Tunis have broken their Treaty with Portugal,
and that in consequence a Tunisian Frigate which
Was destined for Sicily, has sailed for the Portu-
guese Coasts.
FRANCKFORT, JAN. 7.—The forgeries •on the
Bank of Vienna have caused the greatest mischief to
the principal houses of our City ; though .they have
not let the amount of their losses be publicly known,
lest it might injure their credit.
SeraLrikr, DEC. zz.—The hordes of Robbers who
infested this Country, have quitted this neighbour-
hood, and retied into European Turkey, Though
they have not been very vigorously pursued, yet
several have been taken and hanged.
Tranquillity is completely re-established at Bel-
grade. The Janissaries have acknowledged the
•PACHA as their legitimate Chief, and he now.
quietly exercises his authority throughout the whole
extent of his Government. This change is attri-
buted to the great number of Troops whic,..,11 have
been assembled in the neighbourhood of IViddin, 4nd
the dispositions made by the other Pachas, Whose
fidelity to the Porte has- augmented wonderfully
since the recovery of Egypt. According to all ap-
pearances nothing will be undertaken against PAS.
WAN OGLOU till the Spring.
Letters of a later date, however; announce that
the Tro( ps of PASWAN OGLOU, having made an ir-
ruption into Wallachia, were beat by the Turkish
Troops, who killed 700 of them : that he is sur-
rounded on all sides ; that he is daily losing his
adherents, and 'cannot poSsibly long maintain him-
