REPUBLIC OF 7riE SEVt;N-ISLANDS.

CORFU, JULY 11.

.1

Every thing here is in a flute of abfolute anar-
chy. The inhabitant's of the country are enraged
againtl the Nobles, by whom they find they were
deceived, when they engaged them to take up
arms againft the French. NVe cannot venture out
of the town, for fear of being afraffinated, and our
properties ale at the mercy of • the peafants ; but
what completes our ntisfortunes is, that the Ruf-
fians, who ate in posfeftion of the forts, and who
keep the Turks in awe, have received orders to
pars-into the Black Sea, fo that we (hail remain
expofed to the vengeance of the Turks, for the
mati:tere which was committed on them in the riot
of the 77th May. Our goods cannot leave our
ports, becaufe they fall into the power of the French
cruizers, in the Adriatic. As to the other illands
of our Republic, that of-Cerigo has declared itfelf
independent. Zante has hoifted the Englifh flag.
Santa Mtiara, menaced with invailon by ALI' PA.
CH A, of lanina, who already colleas his forces on
its confines, is about to become a theatre of hor-
rors. Cephalonia, divided between two factions,
which are deftroying each other, is given up to all
the e oils of a civil war.—Malfacre, rape, burning,
and plunder ; all arc the order of the day.—
The women are not fecure, nor even the children;
they tear off their ears fa. the gold ornaments that
hang to them. So mane cruelties have deter.
mined a number of the inhabitants to take refuge
here, in the perfaafion that our ramparts would
fecure them. I with it with all my heart ; but I
dread that our Senate, paralyfed as it is, without
means, without public confidence, cannot fucceed
in preferving us from the evils with which we are
threatened. Such is tht Rate of its diftrels, that in
order to procure itfelf a party in the town, it
.has
propofed to feventy families to admit them to no-
bility. Thirty-fix only have contented to receive
it. Almoll all our merchant shave retired to Triefte
and Venice, whither they will be followed by thole
who remain. Our commerce is annihilated. I
can give you no further details concerning Cerigo
and Zante, their communication with us being In.
tercepted. There remains to us no other hope
than that of the return of the French, whom we
know to be at Otranto, and to whom we hold forth
our hands in fupplication.
P. S. The little ifland of La Pais, which was
covered with gardens, olive trees, and houfes, is
now quite a delart.

• We learn from Luxemburg, that it is in con-
templation to chute a tit place on the Mofelle, be-
tween Treves and Coblentz, for the purpote of
building a fortrefs. It is alfo Paid, that the little
town of Creutznach, on the Nahe, js to be for-

The Council General of Ille and Vilaine have
tranfmitted to the Minifier of the Interior a plan
of a canal, which would unite the Vilaioe with
the Rance, by the Ilk and the Linou. This pro-
jeft, which would ellabiith a communication be-
tween the Channel and the Ocean, through Dinan,
Rennes, and Rhedon, would con the State no more
than 60zi,000 livres. It received the afrent of the
old Government.

AAAAA CT OF A LETTER. FROM STOCKHOLM, DATED
AUGUST 18.
_

" Since the famous Convention of the 17th of
June, which our Court did not know until after
its conclufion, and to which it had been forced to
accede, a great change has been effeCled here in
the political fyftcm, and in the public opinion.
Before this event, every thing was arranged pre-
paratory to M. de Fe aRE ti being placed at the head
of Mininerial Affairs ; but the KING has fince
relblved to have M. Eti R I KsWitao there. The na-
tion is rejoiced to fee in that important place this
able Milliner, who never was influenced but by
the real interetts of the State. Another etre& of
this famous Convention is, to remind the Swedes
that they once had allies who never treated fur
Clam and without them. Since this zra they
fpeak of the FIR 3T CONSUL not only with efleem,
but even enthuliafin. It is certain that circurn-
(lances are very favourable to the Treaties Which
have fo long imited the two Powers. The Mi-
nu:ter whom our Court has fent to Paris is a very
fit perfon to remove all the difficulties. To the
rectitude of chara‘ler, which inipires confidence,
he joins rare talents. There talents kern heredi-
tary in the family of EHRRNSW MU). It is to his
Uncle we owe the ereetion of the famous fortrefs
of Sneal>org, iti Finland, the works of which alto-
nab all travellers, and the eltablithment of a light
Proilla for the defence of (air coans. His Brother
die:t at Berlin., I%;:CTC he raided in the quality cf
:Nhni.ter, with the leputation of an able Diploma-
rill. He has liimfelf rcprcfcntcd, with mtieh dig-
uiry, our lvionaltit, at the Courts of Madrid and
.1...•a10n, and we do not forget the energetic notes
wlnih he delivered at the latter, renionfltating
againa the ;,&s of violence and injunice of Great
britain with relpen to Sweden. We now know,
that when M. EH ENSW D WAS preparing to quit
London, the Maiter of the CcienAnies, Sir Srr-
PH 5% COT T ift i 1., afkcii him at what hour Ire should
fend the pie:".nt generally bellowed upon Forcagn
hlibillers at then dcpatture ? M. Filar sswAan
antwered, that at the moment whcn he had to an-
nntince to his Countrymen tit thi,iq bot luffes oc-
cafioned by the injuilice of the Engin, he would
11'.t leave it in the power of any body to us that

Accounts which we have received from Cadiz
thro..igh a refpatable channel Rate, that about
Soo°, cr to,ooo French troops, are now at Cadiz,
where it is expedled 50,000, or 60,000 more, will
fpcedily arrive. Various conjeCtures are formed
relpating this movement. Some are apprehen-
five for the fafety of Spain! but for this there
Icons little reafon at prefent : others, and thofege-
nerally the bell informed, likewife, ftrange as it
may appear to many, that Gibraltar is the objeCt,
BONAPARTE having declared it to be his opinion,
that that fortrefs, notwithaanding the flrength of
the works, may be taken by ftorm, by facrificing
25 or 30,0c0 men. Has he forgot that it is de-
fended by as good foldiers as thole he met with
at Acre ?

In the naval department at Cadiz there is alfo
great alivity, and every veffel fit for fervice is
equipping with the utmoft difpatch.
A little time will thew whether there prepara-
tions have any thing real for their objea, fo far
as relates to Gibraltar, or whether they be not
intended merely to alarm, and by inducing us to
divide our force to weaken ourfelves nearer home.
In either cafe, however, the enemy, it h to be
hoped, will find us prepared for them.

I sacs teeing this is the cafe, how we ca* prevent
• their accomplifhing a voyage of five hours? The an-
fwer is obvious however : The wind which drives
our velfcls off from their harbours, drives them
home to our own coatis.
A letter from Ihuffels, dated the 2d intl. Rates,
the harveft is every where ended, and that the
crop has been the find/ and moil abundant they
have had for many years in that country.
PARIS, SEPTEMBER 8.

Citizen LUGAN, Captain of the Heliopolis, left
Egypt on the 14th of July, on board a fmall veffel
called la Santa Madona•Didra, manned with
twenty good French failors. It efcaped the cruiz-
ers, touched at Cephalonia, and landed at Taren-
to. C. LOGAN delivered to General Sotmr dif-
patches from General MENOU, which were brought
to Paris by a courier extraordinary.
•The news of the capitulation of Cairo had
reached Alexandria. Generals MSNOU, Ran PON,
FRIANT,SONGIS, SANSON,DESTAING,ZAJONSCHEK,
Fat/ram, &c. and all the other officers, chefs de
corps, and fuperior officers of the garrifon of Alex-
andria, had refolved to bury themfelves under the
ruins of the place rather than accede to a capitu-
lation, which they confidered as difgraceful, be-
caufe they did not believe it to be neceffary.
Alexandria was defended by more that boo
pieces of artillery, was abundantly fupplied with
provifions,and particularly a large quantity of rice.
The garrifon had bread and bifcuit to laft them
through the winter, and rice for feveral years.
The foldiers were labouring inceffantly, and with
extraordinary atlivity, to augment the forYfica-
tions : they amounted to more than 9000 French,
including the failors and members of the different
adminiftrations, who had all taken up arms. Ge-
neral MTNou bellows great praife on the zeal and
aftivity of the Captains of the Villeneuve, Barre,
and Richer.
The Fort of Pompey's Pillar, by the extraor-
dinary labour of four months, had acquired the
fame ftrength as Fort Cretin. We were matters
of the Lake Mareotis by means of forts conitruCt-
ed in different places, and of gunboats tranfport-
ed thither from the port of Alexandria.
The entrenched camp which General MENOU
had made choice of was fecure from any coup de
main, and defended the approaches to the place.—
The enemy could not approach but by the boyaux
of the trenches.
The generals of artillery and corps of engineers,
confidering the local obflacles and works which
have been conflrufled, reafonably think themfelves
fide from every attack.—Moniteur.

BOULOGNE, SEPTEMBER S.

The divifion of gun-boats, confifting of fifteen'
veffels, which was waiting at Dieppe for a favour.
able wind and opportunity to proceed to this port,
arrived here left night: only one veffel remained
behind which h ruck on. the lands or run aground
four leagues from this place, at the mouth of la
Canche. It is pofllble that fhe may have met with
obflacics which prevented her from getting farther,
for a firong Weft wind prevailed, and the lea was
exceedingly boifterous. Troops were immediately
difpatched, and fome pieces of artillery will he
planted to prevent the Englifh from getting parer.'
fion of her before fhe is got off. Thus all our divi.
vifions of armed veffels fucceffively join the flotilla,
and efcape the vigilance of the Englifb cruifers. If
there are circumftances of fuch a nature as to ren-
der it impoflible for the Englifh to prevent a nume-
rous divifion of veffels from proceeding from Cher•
burgh to Boulogne, how will they prevent us from
effeCting a paffage of five hours ? And if the
Englith Government cannot pre;tent the affembling
of our troops, nor annihilate them as they threat•
ened at the point of union, nor difpute our pal-
fage, how will they encore the people againft the
panic-terrors of an invafion !

The well wind, which has driven the Englint
from our coat, foon increated to filch violent gale,
that one of their (hips of war, after veering out
all her cable, was obliged to cut it. The Englifh
left a buoy to enable them to find the anchor (
their return. General LATOUCHIL, who fide;
nothing to efcapc him, perceived this buoy, and
immediately fent a boat to cut it.

declared verbally, to his Excellency, that the EM-
►esoß would adhere to the demand of the Cabinet
of Berlin. The conduct of this Cabinet is explained
on the following grounds: It is agreed, it is Paid, be-
