28th Vendewiarre ,iw lion, that the Eoglish lately
landed and made a predatory excursion on the Chau-
ley Islands, three leagues from the above tons n, and
conduded themselves in a most base and infamous
manner. These Islands are the prieare property of
an inhabitant of Granville, vi ho had formed consider.
thle establishments on' them during the time of
Peace, which he however abandoned as soon as War
broke oar, as he had formerly done on like occa.
Slone. But different from what took place in all
former Wars, the English landed on these islands,
and without paying any regard to private property,
seat every thing on fire that was capable of de.
strudion. A Schooner from Granville, which at.
rived there a few days afterwards, could perceive
nothing but the ruins and ashes, which were still
Ittnoaking.

real ground of complaint, or dirt a declaration
of war cannot result from such an outrage. Three
hundred men have perished, and by whose hands ?
They were not enemies who fought them, since
nor only the British Cabinet is not at war with
Spain, but even affeele to maintain the relations
of peace with her. They were therefore assassins.
The vessels, says the'Etiglish Ministry, may be re.
stored. The restitution of the property is no
doubt a necessary saisfaetion for the robbery corn.
tnitted ; but who will restore to 300 unfortunate
families the fathers they have lost ?-
" A fgt which exposes, in their proper light,
the meanness and ignominy of that Cabinet, is the
circumstance, that at the moment when the orders
Were sent to the English Cruzers to seize the Spa.
nish Vessels, and while these ordets were execut.
ing, the British Minister were availing themselves
of .the inter vention of the Spanish Ambassadors
resident at London and Paris to extricate Captain
WRIGHT from the fate he deserved, as the accum.
Mice Of traitors whom he landed on the Coast of
France, for the purpose of assassinating the Empe.
ror ; and the letter written to that effeft by Lord
HARROWBY to M. D'ANDUAGUA, was filled with
the most energetic expressions of attachment on the
part of the English Government to Spain. Poniards,
infernal machines, piracy, the violation of the
rights of Neutral Powers, the breach of forms held
th, most sacred among oat ioull—such are the arts
of that execrable Cabinet ! It considers every thing
as fair game, if it can but for an instant gratify, by
plunder, the rapacity of its Cruizers.
" The Emperor of the French had -consented to
the Neutrality of Spain, although the violation of.
the -Treaty of Amiens placed Spain under the di- •
ligation of making a common cause with France.
England respecied that Neutrality as long as the
commerce of France and of I lollatel furnished her
Cruizers with the means of plunder ; but at pre-
sent, when she has done ail the mi,chief she could,
she resigns Spain to their rapacity. tut however
torpid may be the state into which Spain is sunk,
such an outrage is capable of awakening her alto.
gether. She has still more than forty Ships of
War; her coasts abound in Seamen ; amid the senti-
ment of honour and of patriotism reviving in the ,
heart of the KtNG ef ST N, ,‘t his Mieisters, and
Of the different orders which compose the N ition,
she will be able to collett and anti them. These
supplementary means will matert.illy CO.Overate
with nor own in transporting onr Legions to Eng.
land, Ireland, end Semiarid : And, it history can
ever attribute in any degree the destruction or Eng.
land to this outrage, of a nature alto
ost tteheard of
. among European Natiens, nu aft of violence and
avid' y will have been followed by con•equencei
more tal:trnitous for a colllttlj.
" The specie on board 'the Spanish Frigates be.
Lanark! ;flirt :st entirely to the Commet lot crests
of Citll7. Government had no claim but to the
smallest share of it. By an anion equally &situ e
of honour and of glory, the English Cru:zers 4 ill
• gain thirty millions of liirres; but the Trade of that
Country with Spain was equivalent to more thin
three hundred millions. Ti;r extension of its Ma.
ritime Force acquired by this new War, will also
cost more than one hundred and fifty. Mi. PITT
does not limit himself in his calculations ; he has
not abandoned his outrageous System of Politics.—
When he left his last Official Situation,. his Ministry
had deranged all Europe, and other men and other
measures became necessary for the reestablishment
of the affairs of G:eat Britain. lie now returns to
the same principles ; and every one is called upon to
express his indignation at this conduct as a man,
although, as a Frenchman, he must be sensible it
contributes to the advantage .of our cause. We do
not stand in need of the aid of Spain to pare the
claws of the leopard ; hut forty Sail of the Line,
and a great number of ports shut against the English,
are •of such importance,' more particularly in the
kind of war which we carry on, that for a long
time the astonishment of all has been excited by that
generous system of politics which did nett allow
,France to make Spain a party against England!"

PAR is, Nov. I.—The Foreign IIeWA inserted in the
French papers, and in the Moniteur among the rest,
mention the immediate return to Vienna of the Im..
petial and Royal Envoy' to the Cour! of Stockholm,
Count LODRON.LATERNC), tied attribute it to the
refusal of His Swedish Majesty to acknowledge the
title of Hereditary Emperor; of Austria, assumed by
the Chief of the Archdtrcal Family. The same in.

Imperial Ambassador itt London, had also instruc-

tannic Majesty's Sect etary of State fur Foreign At.

orders. that Oh 23t1 Oct. of thl:iyear, the FMICII Pratiffil the
Stadt Montpellier took an English Brig, in its passage from

" Said Nasal, belonging to the rearof a division of French
and Batavisn Cun-boats, departed on the Ist inst. from
Ostend for Dunkirk; inwards five in the -evening, and was
attacked by seven hostile vessels.
•' The engagement commenced at the distance of a scrote
abut, and was very brisk. An English Brig strove to enter
the Praam. but was so well received by an incessant fire of
musketry. that she soon became unmanageable, and incapa-
ble of tnaking any tnanceuvreS ; of which the issue was, that
she tell into our hands. The others saved themselves by

CONsTANTINOF r. r, SEPT. 20. - Immediately
after the arrival of two Couriers from Paris, Mar-
shal BRUNE, the Ftench Ambassador, renewed
his conferences with the Rt: is EFFENDI, re-
speding the acknowledgment of the Emperor NA.
1)01. EON. The PORTE has as yet come to no
determination on the ruh?n. Some further
conferences took place bell, cen ,the same Mini.
stets, in constquenee of intelligence received by
letter from the lonian Islauds, that some of the
Russian troops, quartered •at Corfu, had disem-
barked in Albania, and liven well received by
.the inhabitants. . The• French Ambassador having
received the same intelligecce, immediately
OW to th,. Minister for explanation. He declared
to the RF Is F FFI:NDI, in an interview with him,
" that the .entrance of the Russian Troops into
Albania, if confirmed, wools! be attended with the
most unfavoural on>egleoces, as it would .to.
tally put: an. end to Neutrality." The Ottoman
Moister formally. cunt radided the authenticity of
the intelligence, and assured hirn, " that the V,rte
would adhere- to its system of Neutrality, and would
take no titeps which• could pr•s ibly •affettt it."

WALKING MATcH.—The very interesting match
in which Lieutenant FmRNIAN. ut the Royal Lanark-
shire Militia, Wa3 to travel on lost 60 miles us 14.
successive hours, was decided on Friday on Ipswich
Race Ground. He startei exaCtly at two o'cloCk
in the morning ; a mileyreviously measured on the.
course being lighted. The lights were not Sufficient
to tender the first four hours even tolerable travelling.'
He however went as miles in.,that time, during
which no bets could be made. About this time a
heavy fog came' on, which lasted till near noon : he
had then been forty.sis miles, having refreshed
twice ; ill no betting ; his spiriti were good all the
while, and the interest the niunTrous speCtators took
in his behalf animated him extremely ; he continued
going at about four miles and a Italian hour till three
quarters past one, and then he slackened his pace
about four miles an hour, and the last two or three
miles took him each 17 minutes. He finished the
distance at 33 minutes past three in the afternoon,
27 minutes less than the limited time. Forty.five
minutes were expended in refreshing himself, at a
cottage, whither he went five times, which lengthen.
ea his walk 250 yards. -
A foot race has been talked of between the Hon.
EDWARD HARBOR (Lord SUFFI ELD'S sots) and
Mr. BARCLAY, for a considerable sum These
Gentlemen are supposed to he the two swiftest
runners in England, and neither of them has ever
yet been beateo. Mr. HARBORD beat a runner.
of great repute, fora wager of one hundred pi,.
peas, on the Paddington road, a few months ago.
This feat of aetivity drew forth a clia)lenge from a
-celebtated runner of the name .of WADS, of Ayles.-
ham, whilst Mr. HAIIIIORD was on a visit at Gun-
ton House. The challenge was accepted, and the

apprehended : but the Managers of "the Work.hay.

On •Monday evening last the Union Picket,
Capt. .SKINNsa, %Val wracked in the B.ty ofDoldin.
The "wind having blown strong at East,: .the no
down by the South Wall, and attempting to tack
near the Light-house, she missed stays, heeled, and
sunk. A private Letter, after mentioning this ac.
cident in general terms, observes; 4, In the course
of the evening near 40 persons, many of them 1.3.
dies, had proposed •to .take their passage with the
Captain to Holyhead ; but he had, in the most li-
beral manner, dissuaded them from it, on account of
the state of the wind and weather. Of:cootie, at
the time the accident happened, the passengers were
nut numerous—l understand, but two; one of whom
was General 'licitly lin ; and, I am happy to.add,
no life was lost. Capt. SittNNER, however, is much
bruised: having lost an arm in the service when a
Lieutenant in the Navy, he is comparatively help_
less, and in getting ewer the sides of the vessel, he
fell, and was at one orris under the boat, which was
alongside. This vessel was new built, and has not
been more than two months on the station ; she
cost him:near zoo guineas. There were two Moils
on board, bothitf which have been saved
.; 'but the
letters are sodefaced, partieularly those to Chester,
