DUTCH FLEET AT SEA.

At a late hour lalt night an Exprefs arrived at the
Admiralty from Admiral Douocas, the Port Ad-
miral at Yarmouth, communicating the important
intelligence that the Dutch Fleet had failed from the
outward harbour of the Texel.

The above intelligence was brought to Yarmouth
by the CARRIIR cutter, which looked into the Texel
on Friday. Admiral Russerc immediately got under
way from Yarmouth Roads, and proceeded with his
1 Fleet in quell of the enemy, and fhould they be Rill
at fea, no doubts are entertained of his falling in
with them, in which cafe we need be under no ap.,
prehenfion of the refute. The Dutch fleet conlifis of
ten fail of the line and four frigates, and is fuppofcd
to have gone north about.

Since our laf Two of the Hamburgh Mails, thole
that were due on Sunday fennight and Wednefday
lA. have arrived.
By the fame packet, difpatches were received at
Mr. Secretary Fox's Office, from the Courts of Pe-
terlburgh, Vienna, and Berlin.
M. WORONZOW, nephew to the Ruffles Ambaffa-
dor at our Court, came over in one of the packets
from Hamburgh, and is Paid to be entrufted with dif-
patches of the utmoft importance. A Merchant of
high refpeaability in the City arrived silo by the fame
Iconveyance. He left Berlin on the 26th ult. at which
time it was very generally reported, that France had
determined upon hollilities againft Pruflia, and that
a numerous French army was already on its march,
the firft operations of which would, of courfe, be di.
rated againtt Hanover. The fame Gentleman adds,
that ferious fears were entertained for the fafety of
Hamburgh, and the general profpea was rendered
the more difcouraging, from an opinion very gene-
rally entertained, that difaffeaion prevails among
Come divifions of the Pruffian forces. For the am-
racy of there flatements we cannot vouch, but they

Rance of the Pruffian army being continued on the
war eftablifhmeot, and the equipage of the King of
Payssta beist again ordered to be got ready for
the field. The Ambaffitdor to the French Court, the
Marquis LuccHastat, has returned to Berlin. Some
accounts fay " on an important million;" others,
being recalled by his own Court."
The accounts refpeaing the probable operations of
the French army are various. Some affert that the
forcible occupation of Hanover is its °Nee, others
are of opinion that it is defined to occupy the neigh-
bourhood of the :Sound, for the purpofe of preventing
Englifls (hips from palling that Straight. The fate is,

THE FRENCH JOURNALS,
Which have reached us to the zd int. that the Royal
Couple never arrived at their place of de ft ;nation. The
frigate which carried them, OD its paffage to Palermo,
was obliged by the violence of the wind, to anchor
under the batteries of the coaft, and hut-ender to the
French. On the fate of this unfortunate Princefs the
lioniteur is meanly triumphant and fcurriloufly libel-
lous. It contains the molt unprincely invectives
againft her, whom it Ryles a vindictive and blood-
thiray woman ; and accufes her of having robbed
the Bank, and alto private individuals. But what
can be expeEted from lb degraded a profs as that of
the French ?

Among our extraels frr m tilde Journals will be
found the details of the operations of the French army
in the Neapolitan territories. The refillance oppofed
to the invaders was ac great as could be expeCted, and
as unavailing. All the arcing places in the continental
dominions of his Sicilian hlajefly, and Naples itfelf,
have been furrendered. The military events therefore
are of little confequence. Naples is conquered.—
The ellablilliment of a new dynalty, under a French
Noce, is announced. Joss? 13011•1•11171, in all
probability, is the petfon defined for a throne,
which more than any ether in Europe has for ages
been the (port of all caprices of ambition, and has
pallid through almoil all the ancient Royal Families
of Europe, from the old Spann dynallies to the new,
from the Houfes t f Maria and 13oorboa to tkc taco

of Bomar/Art. This change will not furprife the
prefent time, nor future alterations pollerity.
The French army advanced in three columns, and
Teems to have met with no refiflance, exctpt at the
fort of Gaeta, the moll advanced defence of the
Neapolitan Capital, commanded by the Prince of
Heffe. On the tzth, Capua was fummoned, and, on
the morning of the t 3th, a deputation from the city
had an interview with Joseph Bo AAAAA Tr, when the
furrender of Naples, Gaeta, Capua, Pefcara, and all
the other garrifons, was arranged. On the tsth, the
future King was to make his Cole= entry into the'
capital of the Two Sicilies.

It is Impoffible to form even an idea of the changes
and arrangements deftined to take place among the
Powers on the Continent. The detail of the opera •
tions agitinft Naples is wound up with a dreadful
denunciation, but whether levelled particularly at
Ruffia, or at Pruffia, or at both, we cannot decide :

futility of the Continent to the caprice and suineae of theft
avarietotu and infertiaile fpeculasor:, (meaning Great
Britain, no doubt), flx:///ofi hie throne." In the intr•
rim the French have occupied almoft the whole of
Franconia, except Wurtzburg, and the Pi ußian ter-
ritory. They are continually accumulating in force,
and, intlead of returning to France, are apparently
taking meafures for prolonging their Ray. Gene-
ral AUGIBIAV, with the French troops under his
command, of er invading Heffia, has taken pollef-
film of the Pruflian towns of Lippliadt in Weßpha•
lia, and Dethmold near Paderborn. The army of
L is covering the movements of Au° EIVALU,
to enable him to maintain his communication with
the grand French army, extending along the Black
Forefi. On the other hand, Rufaa has not been idle.
A fre(h army of one hundred and eighty thoufand
Ruffians has already been affembled in the neigh
bourhood of the frontier, threatened by the article in
the peace of Au fterlits, which promifed an indemni-
ty in the EaR to the Emperor Faawcrs. Several of
the German journals alert that a Congrefs of the
Polith Nation is about to be held at Whs, in apace.
quence of a requifition of the Court of Ruffia. It is
alto Rated as being already determined upon, that the
Emperor of Ruffia is to appear at this Congrefs, and
declare himfelf King of Poland.
We need hardly add, that intelligence of foam-
ment fhould not be credited on Right authority.
The Ma ri:air of the 27th, contains a Decree of
Prince Eva sit a Narozion, prohibiting the introduc.
lion of Englifh merchandise into the Venetian tern
tories ; and another Decree, organifing a Tribunal
of Commerce in Venice. It alto contains a Report
made to Bo AAAAA T 1 on the expellees of the Judicial
Department.
