HARWICH, Nov. 3.

Tuts afternoon the King George Packet, Captain
FLYN, sailed for Helvoetsluys, with the Dutch
Mail and Passengers ; and at the same time sailed
for Cuxhaven, the King George Packet, DEANE,
with the Harnburgh Mail. There are now no
Packets in the Harbour.

About three o'clock yesterday afternoon, the
ship Aqhalon, of London, Captain IttvlNG, from
Memel bound to London, with timber and deals,
went ashore upon the Cork Sand: A quantity of
the timber has been thrown overboard to lighten
the ship, in order to get her off, but it is feared
she is so docked, that it cannot be effeaed.

HALIFAX, JULY 3r.

THE Ship Union, BENJAMIN HOOPER, Master,
from Alicant for Boston, laden with salt, cut 65
dayS, was on the loth inst. wrecked on the Isle of
Sable. She went on shore about one o'clock A. M.
in thick, squally weather, on the South Side of the
Island. The breakers soon stove in the dead-lights,
made a breach over . the ship and filled her with
water. In this dreadful situation, they remained
until day-light, when some of the people attempted
to land on a raft; but were prevented by the heavy
sea, and a strong current, which broke the raft in
pieces, and the seamen, with much difficulty, were
taken on board again. Fortunately they were soon
discovered by the people on the Island, and a warp
being sent to the shore.on a spar, the Captain, Mate,
and Crew, were saved by that means ;. but a Gen-
tleman 'of the name of MONTCOIvIfRY, Passenger in
the Ship, was unfortunately carried away by the
surf, and perished.
On the Island, they were treated with much hu.
manity and kindness; and assisted in fitting up the
Ship's long-boat, in which Capt.'Hoorsit, with six
of his people arrived here yesterday morning, in
three days passage from thence.

The Ship and Cargo were totallyloSt : but part
of the rigging, sails, &c. were saved by the exer.
dons of the Ship's Crew, and the people on the
Island.

His Majesty's Ship Calcutta, destined to take
out Male and Female Convicts to Botany Bay, was
commissioned at Chatham on Friday last, and. Capt.
DANIEL WOODRIFF is appointed to command her.
There are at present in the English Navy above
120 Ships of War, which have been take') from the
French, so that almost one fifth of our naval force
has been furnished us by France.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM PARIS, OCT. 30.

'' It is reported here, that Austria and Prussia have
accepted the guarantee of Malta, which so long
has been a bone of fierce contention, at the request
of Great Britain and France, and with the c. i)cur-
rence of all parties. The Grand Master, Prince
RusPoLy, proceeds immediately to take upon him-
self the command of the Order.—General ANDRE-
ossi sets out to-morrow for England.

" In my last, I informed you of the disgrace of M.
BOURGEN, BONAPARTE'S Private Secretary, in Con-
sequence of his having engaged in Stock-jobbing.
To the intelligence I then sent, I have to add, that
his name is to be erased from the list of Counsellors
of State, by which he experiences an additional loss
of upwards of roool, per annum. This is a measure
highly creditable to the First Consul.
" On Thursday, the z Bth inst. a number of Polish
Gentlemen, resident in Paris, gave a grand dinner
to KosciusKo, in celebration of his birth-day, to
which a large party of the friends of that General
were invited. The entertainment was given at the
Hameau Chantilly, and attended by upwards of ioo
persons, among the most conspicuous of whom, we
noticed Mr. LIVINGSTON, the American Minister,
Mr. SKIPWORTH, the American Consul, General'
LA FAYETTE, Senator MONDE, Mr. JOEL BARLOW,
Mr. FULTON, and Major JOHNSTON, an English
Officer.—Several appropriate songs, and airs were
sung on the the occasion, and the Company did not
break up till half past twelve o'clock.
‘i The Morning Chronicle, I see, has another attack,
upon an article I sent you, respeaing the dinner
given by the American Minister, to a party of
English Gentlemen, and to which Mons. TALLEY.
RAND and his Lady, with several other t rench
Gentlemen were invited, but did not come. The
Morning Chronicle affels to doubt.the truth of this
statement, on' the ground that Mrs. LiviNosTort
would not suffer such a personas Mad: TALL EY-
RAND to enter her house. In reply to this obser-
vation, I have two remarks to make. - In the first
place, you may rely on the correanets of my re.
port; and secondly, the Editor of the Morning
Chronicle betrays a most deplorable ignorance of. the
custom.; and manners of Paris, if
.he supposes that
the Lady of ,a Minister for Foreign. Affairs, -like
TAL L EYRAND, would meet with the slightest dis-
respea or rebuff from the American Arnbass'ador.

" Subsequent to my sending off the Letter in which
I informed .you of the first appearance of an English
Paper, entitled the Argus, the Officers of the Police
entered the office, and made a seizure of all the
copies, there being an express Law, which prohi-
bits the establishment of a Newspaper without the
permission of Government. It appears, however,
that this interference, on the part of the Police,
originated in a mistake, as the copies seized ha% c
since been returned to the office, and the Paper per-
mitted to proceedr—l understand 014 Minister lox

Foreign Affairs, Mors. TALLEYRAND, wrote,
very angry letter on the subjea to the Pr.feS !
the Police. The reply of the latter, I have seefl•
It is couched in terms of the most abjed servility,
and the P eft further promises to give the Paper
every assistance in his power. Thus, you see, 1
was perfealy right in the conjefture I hazarded in
my last, that the Argus had the sanction of Govern-
ment. Indeed the mere perusal of its contents Is
sufficient to authorize this conjelure, as it is most
pointedly severe on the English Journalists.
" By a late Decree of the Consuls, Foreigners
acquire the rights of Citizenship by a five years re-
sidence in France.

44 Notwithstanding the adjustment of the difficul-
ties relative to Malta, it is still generally believed
that various points of difference exist between the
two Governments. Little or no progress has been
made in the Commercial Treaty ; indeed, I do not see
how the French can well accede to a measure of this
kind. Nay, I have heard it very confidently stated
in the best informed circles, that the Laws prohibit-
ing the introduClion of English ManufaCtures into
France, will " be rendered more rigid, and be more
rigidly enforced than ever. Not only is the intro-
duttion of English goods to be prohibited in the
first instance, but the making up of many articles,
such as Woollens, in particular, into articles of
wearing apparel, is to be strictly prohibited. Eng-
lish Gentlemen who visit France with the intention
f making a long stay in that Country, will do well
to_provide themselves with a stock of English wear-
ing apparel, such as coals, waistcoats, hats, boots,
&c. as all these articles come much dearer, nearly by
one 'half, in Paris than in London.

" The popular ferment excited by the refusal of
the Curate of St. Roth, to admit the Corpse of Made.
moiselle CHARMER 01, the Aaress, into his Church,
of which, I infornied you in my last, has not yet
subsided. The name of this misguided Priest has
been introducecrinto the Play Bills. Some of the
.Theatres have announced him as the Original I
Tartuffe, though that, celebrated Play was written
bY, MOL lER E. The Argus has an Epigram on this
sufied, which I transcribe merely. as a cariosity, rot
•iot- the goodness of-the Poetry.
