The following communications from private
fources, were received by the Mail which arrived
on Saturday:
H•MBURG H, OCTOBER 9.—The news of the
Preliminaries of Peace being figned between Eng-
'land and France, which were circulated yetlerday
morning, and have been announced in our newt-
papers to.day, have already produced here the
greateft fenfation, and we fear from this event a
great change in our commerce. It was in an ex-
traordinary way, attended with danger, that we
received this important intelligence on the 7th,
though the Polk, which would otherwife have
brought it, has not yet arrived, and as the wind
is contrary, it probably will not be here fooner
than tomorrow night. The Son of SIGISIBUND
RUCK tar, one of our &ft merchants, was in Lon-
don, when the figning of the Preliminaries was
puhlifhed there. Knowing that his father and
family had a great flock of coffee, fugar, &c.
he took tarp copies of the Extraordinary Court
Gizette, and rode with the greatell difpatch to
Yarmouth, but not finding a packet there to hire,
lie took an open tithing boat, and four men, to
row againll the wind. Notwithflanding this he
could not keep his coiirfe, and was driven among
the flips Rationed off Holland. They (lopped him,
ton as he brought them the agreeable news, Chewed
the Gazette, and told the reafon of his Adventur-
ous voyage, they &I-miffed him immediately, aad
gave him every siffiilance to purfue his courfe.—
On the 7th very early, he landed at Gluckfladt.
took bodes espr;::-. and arrived here eraftly be-
fore Change time. He the news to hi.
father, who communicated it as a feerct to his fa-

•+illy and Come intirnbte friends, who difpofed of all
heir floret the very fame day. After the Exchange
hey made the news public. This, doubtlefs, pre-
•ented a great lots to them, as every article is
•tiling immenfcly. Coffee, for inn:knee, which
was fold on the 7th at 13-13 d. Banco, was offered
yefterday at 9-9 d. Banco. Wheat has already
fallen tgo per quarter laft ; and every thing in
proportion.

Cop EN HAGEN, OCTOBER 3.—Our Journal of yetl
terday, which may be confidered as the Official
Court Gazette, contains the following remarkable
notices—Nothing certain can yet be faid in refpeet
to Peace between us and England, but we hope,
that oar mifunderftanding will very foon be fettled.
In this hope we are (fill more confirmed, as the
Commander of our Well India troops is again
inliaing recruits, to ferve in thofe iflands. Be-
tides, feveral (hips which have lain for fume time
paft in our road, bound for the iflands, have failed.
The reflitution of our colonies will, doubtlefs, be
one refult of the negotiations, but the conditions
and other mutual demands are am a fecret, and
will not be made public till the whole negotiation
is finifficd.

FLORANCI, SErr. tB.—The French corps of
3000 men, which BONAP•RTE has left in eh* pay
of the King of ETRURIA, are very much difratif-1
Bed with this deftination, and have publicly mani.
felted fame appearances of difcontent. But Gc.
neral RIvAuD has* promifed to prevent their In.'
nifhment, as they call it, and he is already gone to
Paris to make remonftrances on this fubjea to the
CHIEF Comruc. The Tufcan battalions of the
line, and a guard of honour for the King, arc to
be railed in a (hort time.

The King has not complied with the French re-
quilition of too,ooo rations for the corps befieging
Porto Ferrajo, the finances being too much ex-
hau lied.

In conlequence of an order ailed by General
Muasy, no fhip is allowed to leave the port of
Leghorn.
MILAN, SE►7. 21.—0 n the 17th, the Commif•I
lion of Government reviewed the new railed troops.
At prcfent they are engaged in increafing our
forces to the number of IS,OOO men. The French
General MONCEY is gone by Switzerland to Paris.

An Algerine fleet of t 6 fail, is now cruifing on
the coaft of Naples. The crews land in the night
and carry off every thing that comes in their way,
both men and cattle—great alarm, therefore, pre-
vails in the country.—They have already taken
(even veff:ls bound for Genoa.

•
RIDOCTIOW 01 TH2 much anxiety
muff prevail among( our numeroui military
Readers, and their friends, to know what reduc-
tion will take place in the army, on the. Definitive
Treaty being finally ratified, we are enabled to
inform them, that it is at prefent the intention of
Government, not to reduce a fingular regular re-
giment, except the additional battalions that have
been added to different regiments during the war.
The eflablifhment of the regiments only will be
reduced to fix hundred men each regiment of in-
fantry, and five hundred each regirnint of cavalry.
The additional field officers added to each regi-
ment during the war, it is fuppofed, will be put on
half-pay, though this meafure, we believe, has not
been as yet finally deter Mined upon.
All the • fencible regiments, both at home and
abroad, will be immediately reduced, except one
or two which were railed on- condition of being
kept embodied for a certain number of years, but
which will be difbanded immediately on the expi-
ration of that time.

All the foreign corps in the Britiih fervice, it is
underilood, are to be difbanded forthwith.

The Half Pay of Pull Captains in the Navy is,
it is Rated, to be advanced from 6s. to Bs. per day,
and Lieutenants from 35. to 45.
Sixteen hired armed cutters were ordered round

The news of the Peace between this country and
Frani-. did not produce any joy at Hamburgll.
That city, which was the principal point of our
communication with the Continent, mull lore by
our free communication.
' As foon as the news of the Peace was received
on the French Coaft oppofite Jerky, faveral Boats
loaded with different articles of provifions proceed-
ed to that Bland. The fmall Normandy fheep they
fold alive for half a-guinea each, turkies rumen-
pence each, and butter firpence a ponnd ! ! As
the Iflands will now be fupplied from the French
Coaft, a confiderable reduction in the price of pro-
vifions muft confequently take place in the Southern
and Weflern parts of England, from whence they
have been wholly fupplied. The pride of butter
will be confiderably reduced, owing to the large
quantity already Chipped in Holland for London,
at prices greatly inferior to what it has lately been
in this Country.

A Mail, we underßand, is making up at the
PoR-office, for India, to be conveyed out by a fhip
of war, on the eve of failing with Difpatches to our
Commanders in the Eaftern Seas, announcing the
return of Peace.
Danifh (hips, with troops and merchandife, are
preparing to fail from Copenhagen for the WeR
Indies, to take poireffion of their iflands in that
quartcr, which the Court of London has now
agreed to rebore.
The Spann Ambaffador at Vienna has had his
folemn audience of leave of the Emperor, and will
return to Spain by way of Italy. The non•acknow.
ledgment of the new King of Etruria is laid to
have given offence to the Court of Madrid, and to
have occafioned the recall of the Ambaffador.

Monday night between (even and ten o'clock,
there was a moll brilliant appearance, at Edin-
burgh, of that beautiful phcenomenon the Aurora
Borealis. The corufcations were extremely vivid,
lumincus, and rapid.

A man named Edneu, was convifled at the Oxford
Seffions on Tuefday, of Realing part of a throud.
By a letter from Bufrorah, dated March 33,
we learn, that the cityof Tefliz, which was fome time
fince taken pofreffion of by a Ruffian Army, has
been in a meafure relieved from the exorbitant ex-
aCtions then made on the natives. That, of the
30,000 Arminians, who were enflaved by Acoa
MAHOMMED KHAN, through the pufilanimous con
duet of SHAMI, feveral thoufands had been reflor-
ed to liberty, and the conditions of the remainder
.much ameliorated. The city of Gangi, a few
days march from the above place, which was
racked and nearly deftroyed at the fame time, is
rebuilding, and the merchants and traders are re-
turning from the various diftrias into which they
had been difperfed.
The Nits°, of OWDE, with more confideration
to the happinefs of his fubjeEts than to the pom-
pous vanity of a Court or the influence of merce-
nary dependants, has materially lightened the pub-
lic burdens by the abolition of many finecure and
fupertluous offices under his Government. One
of his Miniflers adhering to the old fyllem of cor-
ruption, and having made fomc improper remon-
nrances againtt the new arrangements (which
had been fuggefled by the Britifh relidrnt), he was
dilmilred from office with indignity, and his pro-
perty confilcated. The long depending negocia-
tion between the Company and the NABOB refpec-
ting the Collery Government has been fuccefsfully
terminated. The leader of the banditti of Colic-
.
ries who ravaged the Sapatora country has been
given up and executed, and tranquility reftored to
that diftria.

We have received a communication from Born-
bay by the late Overland Difpatch, which informs
us that tke Seiks threaten the whole tribe of Fa-
keers with immediate hoflility, in confequence of
(Dine fuppofed tranfgreffion on the part of the Fa-
keers. It appears that the Seiks had ereAed a flag
in Rnhilchund, which was pulled down by the FA-
Leers, who drove away the little Seik F.flablifh-
mcnt. They kept peaceable polieffion of the place,
till the arrival of about 12 or 14,000 Seiks, when
they hoilled the dillinguifhing flag of their fen.
Here they attacked the Fakeers, and drove them
with irrelifiible fury. Having dilcharged their
pieces within a few paces, they rufhed upon thofe
unfortunate pilgrims that came in their way, and
having flaughtered a great number, putfued the
remainder, until by flight to the hills, or by fwim-
ming the liver, they etcaped the revenge of their
purfuers. Accounts agree that the Fakeers 101 l
about sOOO men, among whom was one of their
head men. The Fakeers are bending their march
in a %Vellerly courfe, directly from the Seiks. The
hoflile conduA of the Seiks, was purely in revenge
againft the tribes of Fakeers for dificfpce and con-
tcropt of tLc
