DICSRI 141./Vlll AUDI•T ?

LONDON, Jun- 12, IEO3.

Vi this morning received Paris and Brutish
P.►hers to the 9th instant. The illonittur contains
the Official Account of the taking La Minervr off
Cherbourg. It does appear that they gut her off
soon after she struck,

It is stated very vaguely in one of these Papers,
that the Prussian Minister here had offered the
mediation of his Court, and that the answer was,

No otcdit, we think, can safe'y be attache,' to such
loose and unauthorized statement,.

The Prurselr Papers 'contain «•me important In-
telligence from Hanover, and the Banks of the
Elbe. It appears that the French seem determined
to cross that River, which the Hanoverian% seen
as determined to oppose. The ostensible objet Fu
the advance of the French Army across the Elbe, k
to disarm the Hanoverian Army, in fulfilment of
the Treaty of Sub/iNgen ; bin we presume they
must have more important otijeds in view, as they
meditate the crossing at three different placer.---•
The next accounts from that quarter will be into•
resting.

There is nothing in these Papers respeaing the
free navigation of the Elbe being restored : indted
the move:neat: of the French Army in Hanover
seem to destroy every hope of such a measure being
in contemplation.
Akxandria, in Egypt, has, fora time at least,
been wrested from the Porte by a part of the
G3rrison, who mutinied from want of pay, and
and after committing great excesses, made them•`
selves masters of the place.
A Letter from Amsterdam, of the 4th inst. says,

66 We arc informed that the French GOvernment has
demanded, in the most precise manner, that similar
measures should be taken in this Republic as those
adopted in France, to prevent every kind of commu.
nication, dirett or indired, with Ergland. It is
expeled that the exportation of every kind of pro.
visions will be severely prohibited ; orders are
already given for the examination of vessels at their
sailing, anti for sequestrating all those whose paper.
are not conformable to regulation, 4:c. These
measures of precaution arc necessitated by circum-
stances, and particularly by the illicit exportations,
which have for some time been increasing. Those
who embark in authorized commercial speculations,
will not be interrupted. They will particularly
find safety and protection in their operations, if
they take the precaution to submit their Passpord
and Bills of Lading to the inspettion of the French
Commercial Agents : after this formality, the?
have nothing to fear in case of being visited by the
armed Ships of that Nation."
The First Consul war expeeted to reach Bosieis
as this day.

3D JULY.

•' I have the Honour to inform you, that the English Fri-
gate the Minerve, commanded by Captain Betzee TON. carry-
ing 43 guns, of which aS are eighteen pounders, fourteen
thirty-two (carronades), and six nine pounders, with a crew
of 230 men, in pursuing yesterday evening in foggy weather,
some boats laden with stores, which, after having taken in
their lading at Bccquet, were making sail in order to pass
the night under the Fort la Liberte, situate within the Road,
struck on the rock about half past nine.
" At ten the Gus-vessels La Chiffonnc and La Terrible,
Stationed in the Road, the former commanded by the Lieu.
tenant de Vaisseau Lseout Zit, and the other by com-
menced a cannonade. The Fort likewise fired some guns.
" At midnight I sent to the Cannoneees powder and ball,
to replace the ammunition which they had expended.

" Abcut two I was in the Road, accompanied by Citizen
C.tcu:r, Director of Maritime Works, two Engineers of the
same Corps, and the few 'Marines whom I was enabled to
assemble. We proceeded on board the Chiffonne, where I
took the command of the Road, and caused the fire from the
vessels to be continued until half past five, which was con.
stantly seconded, though distantly, by the Fort de la Li.
bend.

" At half past five the English Frigate struck her Flag.
" I immediately ordered the Lieutenant de Viasseau co-
ztaa, who had contributed so much to her surrender,: to go
on board her.

" The Prisoners were transported on board La Chifronne,
and concluded to Cherbourg. Twelve on board the Frigate
were killed, and twelve or fifteen much wounded. The
Vessels of the Republic experienced no loss.

" I made a number of efforts, but fruitlessly, to get the
liintrve off: lat length gave orders to throw into the set,
in order to lighten her, two eighteen•pourders, and four car.
ronados, which it will be very easy to get up again.
" After several efforts and mancouvres, we succeeded in
getting off the Frigate, and at six she was anchored in the
.oad, out ofall danger.

tt is said that the Prussian Minister at London
has offered the Mediation of his Sovereign to the
British Government ; the answer to which was.
that the Mediation of his Court, together with
..that of Russia, would be accepted.
It is generally believed that the projected Ex.
peditioh against England will be considerably deve.
loped diving the' Journey of the Pirst Consul in the
.Departments of the e;-drvant Belgium.
Sight French Vessels from St. Domingo, under
the Convoy of the Frigate La Rivanthe, have arriv.

Letters from Marseilles state, that a Convoy has
arrived in that Port frogs America worth Seven
Millions of liv res.

HACUIto JULY z.—The English have within
the last few days captured a great number of Ves.
sels belonging to our Merchants. It is expeEted
that a prohibition will be issued against the Exp,r.
tation of Grain and Provisions. It is also said,
that the former laws against the introduaion of
any articles the produce or manufafture of Eng.
land, will be again put in force,

Sr. MALO, JULY rd—About thirty Englishmen
who resided in this Town have been arrested, and
sent to the Castle. The reason assigned for this
Measure is, that some of them did not condua them.
selves with that prudence which the present cir.
cumstances require. These Gentlemen will be sent
off immediately to Funtainbleau.
BANKS or THE MEIN, JUNE 28.—1 t is said that
the States of Hanover have deterinined to send a
Minister to Paris, specially accredited for Hanover.
it is said that M. LENTHE will he appointed to
this Mission. We learn from Vienna, that the
entry of the French into Hanover has occasioned a
rise of from JO to la per cent. in the price'of sugar,
coffee, and other articles imported from England.
HANIDURCH, JUNE 25.—The French Minister
in the Circle of Lower Saxony has declared 'in a
formal manner, that as the march of the French
Tomps had only for its object, to occupy the States
of fits BRITANNIC MAJESTY in Germany, all the
Countries in the neighbourhood, whatever may be
their polities' or commercial relations or connexion
those States, need not fear that any attempt
will he wade on their Neutrality.

JUNE 26.—1 t is said that the principal Rowers of
dic North ate about to propose a Plan of Mediation
I.:ctwcen E,, land and France, the principal points
of which arc said to be, that Malta is to be am.
pied for ten years by Russian Troops, to be n►ai►i.
rained at the joint charge of England and France ;
that at the end of ten years Malta is to be
'Motet' to the Order, and to be garrisoned by
Neapolitan Troops ; and that Lamiebro is to. be
ceded to the English. Some people go so far as to
say, that this Plan will not meet with much opposi.
tion, and that it is about to be sent to Fetersburgh
to be laid before the EmPsr.na, whose Consent is
deee‘tary,

intelligence that the Trench Troops have entered

(FROM THE BRUSSELS PAPERS OF THE BTH INST.)
CONSTANTINOPLEi JUNE 6.—On the -26th of
last month the Porte received a dispatch sent by the
Commander in Chief in Egypt, with the intelligence,
equally disastrous and unexpeded, that the City of
Alexandria :in Egypt had been taken from the
Turks. That important place is now in the power
of a corps of Albanian Rebels, or Arnau tea. These
Troops, the bravest of the Ottoman Army, corn.
posed, with others, the garrison of Alexandria for
some Months they had received no pay, and their
representations on this subject were without effdt.
The Pacha commanding at Alexandria always pro.
mised payment, but performance did not follow iris
promises. The Arnautes becoming impatient, made
their Officers conduit them to the Pacha, who from
fear immediately dispatched an Order, or, Tifterdar,
to the Paymaster-General, for the payment of their
arrears. Furnished with this Order they immedi.
ately went to the Tefterdar, who resided at some
distance from Alexandria ; he refused payment in a
haughty manner, alledging that he had no money
in the Chest. This proceeding so irritated the Ar.
nautes, that they proceeded cruelly to maltreat the
Tefterdar and all the persons about him ; and they
concluded him in chains to Alexandria. At the
approach of the Rebels the Commandant ordered
the other Troop of the Garrison under arms, the
Gates were shut, and the Cannon pointed against
the Mutineers; these, full of rage, swore to con.
quer or die ; they advanced with some ladders and
other instruments orattack, and scaled the Fortifi-
cations of the City, throughout which terror and
consternation were immediately spread ; and in a
few hours the Rebels made themselves masters of the
important post of Alexandria, fortified by the
French, and afterwards by the English.. The Pacha
saved himself, with a part of his partisans, by a
Gate opposite to that carried by the Assailants.—
The Military Chest fell into the hands of the Ar-
nausea : many of the Inhabitants were the vklims
of their fury. , This taking of Alexandria by the
Rebels may have in the present circumstances, int.
portant consequences for all Egypt. The Porte
will employ all the means in its pOwer to re-conquer
Alexandria, and the Capitan Pacha will accelerate.
his departure with the Fleet to accomplish that im.
portant oiled.
• MILAN, JUNE 21.—There has been published
at Genoa a new Territorial Division of that Re-
public. Liguria is divided into 49 Cantons and
705 Communes; the Population is 620,413 souls.
On the Bth instant there was published at Naples
a Declaration to this eff.-d : " The King is resolved
to observe the most mid Neutrality in the War
broken out between the Freneb Republic and the
KING of ENGLAND. In consequence, His MA.
jEsTy orders, that none of his Subjects shall enter
into the Service of either one or the other of these
Powers."

HANOVER, JUNE 27..—They speak of an imme.
(bate passage of the Elbe by the French Troops.
MI the' Vessels are put in requisition at Stadt,
Lunebourg, and ilerehourg. The Hanoveriiins have
likewise detained all the Vessels on the opposite
Wink of the Elbe. The Troops are in motion
throughout the whole extent of Hanover. They
file precipitately to the environs of lunebourg, when
they will form an Army of 17,000 Itif,intry anti
2000 Cavalry. Provisions are colletling from
every part for the same destination. We imme.
diately expea fresh Troops, destined for Garrison
Service. The Head.qnarters of the French Army
will to-morrow be removed from hence to Lune.
bourg.

JUNE 28.—Yesterday evening General of Artil-,
levy puLAu Loy, and the Field Commissary of the

vention of Sublingtx, under the condition that it
Should be ratified by the First Consul ; and BONA-
rArrt insisting upon the disarming of the Ilanove.
rian 'Army,. the French Troops approach the Elbe to
execute that disarmament.
General MORTIER has established an Executive
Commission, charged with the administration of
the EleCtorate of Hanover. The Members which

vested with the cliaratter of Counsellors. The su.
perior power of the Government is exercised by the
General in Chief.

The horses of our former Royal Stables arrived
!ma'am thirty in number ; a set of eight cream.
coloured in a state coach, stopped at Hamburgh, as
well as a white horse named Diipsond, the finest in

According to the mist accurate eAculation, the
maintenance of the French Troops in our Country
casts 210,000 crowns per month, or 2,szo,ooti by
the year.

A part Of the Army of Reserve of General
DESSOLLES is already arrived in the Duchy of
Ornaburgb.
LAUENIOURO, JUNE 30.—The French menace
the pastage of the Elbe, which will probably be
executed to-morrow. It appears that the Hano-
verians are determined warmly to oppose them :
ever) thing has a warlike appearance in our Duchy.
The Trtiops occupy the Camps, and have taken
the strong positions on the heights behind Farb,-
&ours, neat Lemenbmg, and other places. The t 2th
Regiment of Infantry forms the Advanced .Guard,
with a numerous body of Cavalry. Several bat-
teries are ereded along the right Bank of the Elbe.
The baggage of the Army Las gone.to Ratzebourg.
.I3Arqxs OF THE .ELBE) JUNE 30.—The French
'Troops have not yet traversed the Elbe in the en.
v irons of iallengpieker : the passage will be effected,
as we are assured, near Marschaept, Chasseur-Veit,
and Artlenbourg. About eighty large embarkations
are.assembled near Hnopt, on the canal of Lonebourg.
The Hanoverians have established a battery behind
Geesthacht, in the Lauenbourg, from which they
can fire in the direaion, of the Elbe, A Company
of Artillery, one of Cavalry, and a Corps of Ar.
tillery, are posted on the Kriminel ; the Regiments
of Infantry, with Artillery, have taken post near
Hohenhorn ; detachments of Cavalry and Flying
Artillery occupy the environs of Hendorf. The Ha.
noverians seem to have taken the firm resolution of
defending : they want neither Artillery nor Ammu.
nition, but they may want Provisions and Forage.

Yesterday His Royal Highness the PRINCE of
WAL Es left Town for a few days,
The Resolutions which were yesterday formed
by the Court of Aldermen, manifest a spirit worthy
of the Magistrates of the Metropolis of the British

mendation fur the zeal and aaivity which they dis-
played in attempting to subdue the fire at the Abbey

and they did not abate in their laudable eidcavoura

it that has been seen since the late PALMER.'the
scenes with the Queen, and with his wife, were
given with strong impression, and he was very
much applauded. Mrs. CLILAND tragedized rather
too much in Queen Margaret ; and indeed Mrs,
