PARiS, SEPTEMBER 19.

The privateer l'Elpoir, of St.Valery en Caur, Cap-
tain Coles, took, at three o'clock in the morning of
the 15th infl. about a league from the !hove, to the
north calf of the Kef, and yeßerday brought into the
port of Fecamp the Englith brig Ifabella, of Sun-
derland, of 203 tons burden, and (even men, hound
to Sunderland in ballall. The prifoners were put on
!hole at Fecamp.
M. B-I'anci,urt, chief engineer of his Majefly the
King of Spain, has communicated to the Inititute a
new inventim , which will render the conllruSion of
canals infinitely more eafy than it was, by fuppref.
fing all expence of ufelefs water. M. A. Piece, Tri-
bune, who has mentiolied it in the report made to
the Legiflative Body, on the projeff of a law relative
to the impolts for the conlirudtion i f inland commu•
nications, has given the following idea of it :
Each Price, milead of one lock, has two, contigu-
ous to each other, and which communicate below.
One is intended to raife and lower veffels, as by the
nfual method ; but the vertical motion c.f the liquid
which bears them is produced by the immerfion, or
emerfion of a chett in the contiguous lock. The bulk
of this ;heft is equal to the volume of water to be
difplaced, and it is lo accurately and ingeninufly ba-
4nsed, that one tingle per fun is fufficient to perform
the manoeuvres nereffary for railing of lowering the
largeft barge. Thus, in future, the fupply of water,
which was one of the principal difficulties in the con
ftruition of canals, will be confined to the quantity
requifite to make good the lots by infiltration and
evaporation.

KONINGSBERG, SEPT. S.
The War Committee have finifhed their labours. 1
The Xing has declared that an army of Bo,oco
men is too weak for real fervice, ar.d too numerous
for parade. Accordingly all the Proaan trorps are
to be reduced to 24,000 men. even fuppoling the
finances of the (late are adequate to their mainte-
nance.

The King has Ufued a very fevere decree again(
the vagabond foldicrs, who rove through the country
commuting dakafiations, under the pretence of being
prifoners of war returning from France.

NANTES, SEPT. s 3,
Accounts have been received from Bahia in Brazil,
Rating, that nn the zilth of May, being the fettival of
Corpus Chrifli, a confpiracy had been formed by a
great number of the blacks, who intended to put it
in execution when the proceifion was palling; but the
police having obtained information of it the pieced
ing day, gave orders for apprehending all the negroes
without exception. Accordingly, they were all
feized, and their atrocious plan frultrated. The con-
fpirators were detained in confinement, and the in-
nocent were Tenured to their mailers. Several plot•
of this kind have of late been formed at Brazil, bur,
thanks to the vigilance of the police, they have all
been detaled.
