Accounts from Corfu, of the 23d ult. stare, that,
the English frigate the Eger,
.Capt. ELL' ER, ar-
rived on the 22d with dispatches for Aliniral NEL-
SON, which were immediately forwarded to him at
Malta. On the passage, the frigate fell in with a
vessel from Idria, laden with corn for France.—
The!Master of this vessel having resolved not to be

vessel was sent into Malta.
The Eledor or HESSit is at present at Wind,

Troops in the other posts of that Dist rid.
HAVRR, OCT. 24. A battalion of the gth Light
Infantry is just arrived here from Paris, to form part
of the embarkation which daily takes place.
There are now but few troops' remaining, the loth
Light Infantry are nearly' al) on board.
The English continue to, she'w themselves : on
the 30th, five ve.,sels were in sight of thii port ;
they arc afraid to draw near,. because they know
we have it in our power to make them sheer off:
they only remain there to blockade, and prevent any
,neutral vessels coming in ,grid gbitg out.
Vice-Admiral LATOUCHiI TARVILLE, is arrived
at Marseilles, from St. DoMingri, which place he
quitted on account of a very serious illness with
which he was attacked io.that colony. Le Broeque,
on board which vessel he took his passage, is now
performing quarantine. At his ,departure, on the
26th Thermidor last (Ani. if),, the greatest
quillity reigned at Cape ki rancui s.
l'he Maritime Perted of Rochef)rt has just pub.

aocordii% to which no merchantman is to be allowed
to Sail, without being convoyed by an armed vessel.
General MALHIR, commanding the Department
of la Dyle, has just been appointed by Government
to command a division of the Army of England. It
is likewise thought that Geo.BE LLI ARC), Command.
ant of the 24th Military Division, who has sersed

At the Review which took place on Sunday last,
the Turkish Ambassador presented to the Ft ast
Cogsut., in the name of the Subiimc Port, two
horses very magnificently caparisoned. One of
them, although not well farmed, is an animal of
most astonishing vigour and strength. The equerry
ho presented it having got on its back was at
first. thrown out of his saddle, but at length suc.
ceeded its curbing it. The other horse, on the con.
trary, is highly remarkable for the elegance of its
make, and the grace of its 'notions.
Letters from Westphalia state, that the Prussian
Army is to be augmented by 20,000 men, in Light
Cavalry, Horse Artillery, Light Dragoons, and
Infantry, at the commencement of the New Year.

-
It appears by letters from Compiegne, that the
Camp now forming rear that City will only be.com.
potted of a certain number.of Regiments of Dragoons,
of whom many are already arrived. General BattA.
GUAY d'HILLIERS has taken the command of the
2J division of Dragoons, composed of the 3d, 5,t 1,,
9th,l6th, and 17th Regiments, which
are cantoned at Chantilly, Vtllers Cotterets, Corn.
piegne, and its neighbourhood. On the 23d Ven.
deiniaire (Ott. t 5), that General reviewed the ph,
gth, and 17th Regiments ; 'they were on foot armed
with muskets, and presented a coup d'aril, full as
grand as the finest Infantry. The sth, commanded
by Colonel Louis BONAPARTg, was particularly
remarked .for its beauty and excellent discipline.
By letters from Manheim we learn, that Baron
THUGUET is again exerting himself to regain his
ancient influence at the Court of Vienna, but it is
not expected that he will prove successful, since the
plirty which combats the system of the Ex-Mini.
ster, who is entirely devoted to the interests of
England, is too numerous, and that Prince CHARLEs,
Who is at the head of it, has, at the present mo-
ment, the must salutary influence over all the de_
terminations of the Cabinet of Vienna. This Prince
has again given his opinion in the Council of State,
with the utmost energy, in favour of that pacific
and neutral system, adopted for these twu years
past, bY the Austrian Government.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM CITIZEN ROCHAM-
REMY, GENERAL IN CHIEF OF THE ARMY OF
ST. DOMINGO, DATED FROM CAPE FRANCOIS,
16 I.IESIDOR, YEAR I I (JULY 5.)
" We began hostilities here on the 28th of June:
la Aoursuivants, Captain WILLOMEZ, had an en.
gagement with five English Vessels, under the
Mole, which lasted fur three hours. She then re.
turned into port, after having very roughly handled
one of her opponents, although she was herself very
ill manned. I shall, nevertheless, send her out again
in five days. Our position is far from being a plea.
sant one, but there is still some merit in defeading
a ravaged colony against a civil war on one side,
and a foreign enemy on the other."

HActue, Nov. 1. Under favour of the fog, the
English mewed their attempts, on Saturday morn.
,inglast, to make themselves flatters of our fishing
Schuyts. Ship of War, which, during the pre-
ceding night, had approached the strand, put out
sevetai armed boats; and these, close in with the
shore, watched the going out of the small boats with
which our fishermen in fine weather have endea.
voured to earn a livelihood ever since the Pinks
have been dragged on the strand. Four or five of
these little vessels fell thus unfortunately into the
enemy's hands. They had even the audacity, be.
tween eight and nine .o'ciock, when the weathet
cleared up, to carry away one of these which
,the
fishermen had run upon the strand, the poor men

having just time enough to save themselves and their
sails in the iiiwns.

Another Fishing-boat was taken about eleven
o'clock at sea, between Cat wyk and Schevening.—
The people of the Ziglish Sloops were armed with
-lilunderhu,ses ; ancrthey kept up an incessant fire
on the fiating-hoais, in older to compel them to
surrender. The Ship of War, which appeared to be
a Frigate, had anchored off Carwyk, where she lity
the whole day. On a signal of the imi,ending
danger being made, a waggon, in which two large.
Dutch Flags were displayed, was diSpatched from
Schevening, to-give the alarm to such Fishermen
who might be, at sea, and ignorant of the Enemy's
motions.
