has been confidently stated in some of the Pa.
peri, that the Force under the command of General
Pa.r.vosT, in Dominica, 'does not exceed 3so men.
We have altelady hated, and we now teas.
serr, upon the hist authcirity, that Getieral PR F.-
vcwr had, at the time of the landing cf the
French in• that 'bland, a force of not less than 900
Regulars,_ exclusive of Militia. PreviOus to his
retiring to Sr. Rupert'S he had :contact' provisions
sufficient to last him for two months, and in one of
th Letters- received from him, he expressly states,
had no doubt of being able to hold out as
I..ing as his provision lasted.

We are happy to find, by the ,Illambstrgb.
which arrived yesterday, that the EMPEROR. of
GERMANY has declined the interview s:vhicli was
recreated by BONAPARTE ; but in order to avoid
tfiis degradation, he has been obliged to defer his
intended journey to his Italian Dominions till ano.
ther year. We have of late observed several pa.
rtgraphs in'the French Papers, and in those under
French influmnee, boasting the perfeel harmony that
subsists between the EMPEROR of GERMANY and
IjONAP AIM!, announcing the,intended interview be.
t wren them this spring, and positively affirming, that
iheformer had consented to diminish the number 'of
AuStrian Troops on the Italian Frontiers. To
these paragraphs we have given very little Credit,
because we know that the French'Government fre.
quently ipsett in their Papers what they 'wish to be
true, rather than what is true ; and we reeollea
'that immediately before the Russian and French
Ministers left Paris and Petersburgh; it was posi.

tively asserted in. those Papers, that all differences
between the two lowers bad been removed, and that
the musr perfeft harMony had been restored. But al.
though we do, not give credit to these accounts of the
great cordiality which is said to subsist between Au.
stria and France, yet, on the other hand, we do not see
any very strong ground for supposing that Austria
is likely very speedily to take an active part in any
confederacy against France.
When. Bortar.Aata usurped the title. of King of
Italy, we ventured to predift that he would very soon
take possession of the whsle of hi; dominions;; and
we new fiml that our prediction is likely to be veri-
fied ; for it is stated in' Letters from, Lyons that a
war is on the point of breaking out. between
France and Naples, and that all. comniercial rela.
lions between the two Countries have been suspend.
ed, or, in other Words, that BONAPARTE had de•
'winked up•m seizing the Kingdom of Naples.---7
Tile- cause alledgetl by France for this rupture is,
tkat the Kt No of NAPLEE refused to submit to
some of the 101111:4 of the Convention of Neutrality
pre,,ented by BOWApArcre.

Itr stating the arrest of one of the newly created
Princes of France on S4tnrday, we mentioned

IC.Ht%er jOaVP/1 instead of Prince Luc I P.N, wh c,
we nrultritandi was the person arrested. We
h recrived no furthe'r details upon the suh-

; hut we by no means consider it' as an lin.
01'0611)1e event, Indeed, a circumitance happened
su,ne time ago which will affurd finale clue to

.reasnns which might operate in the mind o
t:he UltlYptr upon this ocizabion, and we receive i

(ruin stielt authority as leaves us little room to doubt
of its 4utheilticity. Jost,.Pit, Lye t st.r, and Louts
BOriArARTE, having Some degree*of that ambition
whiCh t4E,,ert in the heart of the Usurper, hatl'formed
plan to seize his person and compel him to-consent
to an at :augment by which each of them should have
tome tihare of the Coripered Countries, Lombardy,
11Aland, Arc. s.7c. For this purpose the Chief Con'sul
was rot r,ppeci into an eng,3gement •to dine and pais
the night at a Vila belonging to jos F.Pri, a few miles
'rout Paris. The Chief Consul aft j ved 10re, rind
tits tii;ilicions being constantly alive, he observed
that the windows of a!1 the rooms he passed through
were barred. This circumstance, added to the con-
!:.ciou,ness of the politk.al arms t t his Brothers,
tieterinioed hint to be upon his gurod, and to dzfeat

.their Plan, whatever it init:ilk` he, by a deeper po-
licy. He therefore artfully ihrodpc'ed the subjed
of the corluercd Count ries.htinself, and, by the whole
tenor of 'his conversation, have them reason to
believe that he had been' rneilitatitig just such an
range men* as eley Wail resolved t 6 ex,,ta from him.
pr this 4rli6ce they Were thrown iittu'.4sdoubtful,

suyerise, and (110.t'e at a loss how to proceed without
farther consultation, which could not conveniently
take plaCe at that moment. Probably conceiving,
however, that it was better for them to receive
the Usurper's spontaneous generosity than to extort
what they wanted from his fears, the party broke
up, and they all retired to bed.• The Chief Consul
had with him his confidential Agent, Gen. Duttoc,
and when the latter was retiring to bed also,
BONAPARTE detained him. One small window on
the stairs the Chief Consul observed had not been
secured as well as the rest, and from this window he
and aoc escaped in the middle of the night, and
arrived in safety at the Thuilleries. BONArARTE
was in such an unsettled state of authority at that
period, that he did not think it politic to reveal the
plan which he had thus frustrated, lest, by bringing
disgrace upon his brothers, he• should also de_
grade himself. •

OUR Plymouth Letter of this morning supposes
that the two ships which chased the Fallen, Lord
COCHRANE, were two of the Rochefort Squadron,
returning from the West Indies. We consider this,
however, as a very vague and,improbable oopjec.
tore, and are still of opinion that they were two
Englios mist:Avon C..- nit Enemy.

Cody of a Letter from Commodore Sir Samuel Hood,

have the honour'to transmit to you the. Copy of
a Letter from Captain Bettesworth, Commander of
His Majesty's Sloop Curicux, detailing an account
of the 'capture of the Madame 14;rnoof Privateer,
after a very sharp action, in which the captain of
the Privateer 'displayed an extraordinary degree of
obstinacy, and by it lost the lives of many.men.—
The coolness and bravery of Captain Bettesworth,
his Officers and Men, manifested its superio_
rity. Indeed, I want worth tti expreas the gallantry
and spirit of this Officer, who 'so lately received
three wounds in capturing the Sloop he now. chin.
['lands ; he has again a severe wound by a musket ball
in the head ; and, I trust, will' meet the notice of
the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, as an
emulative and promising Officer, that has gained
every step by his zeal and courage.
I am, &c. SAM. HOOD.
Cnrienx, at Sea, Feb. 8, 1805.
I hive to inform you, that this morning, at break
of day, Barbadoes bearing West about twenty
Leagues, I perceived a large Brig on 'otir lee h)w,
who immediately bore up and !nude all Sail away,
and after a chace of twelve hours, during which
time she tried every point of sailing W, escape
us, we arrived within point_blatik shot of her,
wilco she took; in her studding sails, and brought
to On the starboard tack, hoisted French colours,
aibi commenced a very brisk and heavy fire of great

d

puns and small army ; on et ,r arriviriF wittily
shot, and ranging lion our weather triarter,.we
discharged our guns, and the aeiion continued with
great Obstinacy on both sides for about fort:,
mites, when the Enemy getting on
.our
quarter, I conceived, from their having in Vac
measure left their guns, and giving three chests'
that they intended to board us ; she was then stett-
ing for our leeward quarter, when we put our
helm
to starboard,. and caught his jib.boom between Cur
after fore shroud and fore-mast. In this situadoli
she remained until her decks were completelr
cleared, when, at ti,e moment sve were goilitt°
take possession, the Vessels parted, and her Ito"'
topmast went overboard ; she continued a short
•time firing musketry, and then hauled down her
colours, and proved to be La Dame Ernouf, of 16
long French sixes, and r2O men, out twenty days
from Guadaloupe, and had taken one Merchant Ship
(since retaken by His Majesty's Sloop Nimrod)loilis
very fast, coppered, and remarkably well luu"
but although she carries the same number of gum,
and of the same calibre, as the Curieux, she is not
near so large.
I can attribute her fighting so long and
tt
nately to nothing but the Captain being part.°owhea4
Cr, her having run, since the curnmencentePt _, ttg
War, with so much success, and her being' 10 *
manned.
