DUTCH PAPERS.

Vlanal, SIFT. z6.—Several Ruffian, Frew), and
Spand couriers have lately arrived. The Emperor
has appointed Confuls General for Spain, for the
Ecclefiailical State, and for England, to reticle at
Madrid, Ancona, and London. Similar appoint.
menu are made to the vacancies at Barcelona, Pa.
lermo, Bourdeauz, Marfeilles, Nantes, and Amiler.
clam ; a Vice Conful is alfo to refide at Latin.

Baron HUGEL, Imperial Commiffary at Ratitbon,
is expeded in this capital.
Our Court Gazette contains an Imperial Decree,
Rating that the neceinties of the State, for the year
teos, again require an extraordinary impoll, as has
been the cafe in former years. The prefent extraor.
dinary tax is fubdivided into three beads. 1. Upon
Poifetlions ; :. Upon Income, as in the year iBoz ;
3. A Poll Tax. The objects of taxation are divided
into :6 claret, according to their income, dc.
It is Elated, in letters from Conliantinople, of the
rich of Ansa, that the Grand Seignior had been
very ill, but feemed likely to recover. The great
heat which prevailed for three weeks had caufed ma-
lignant fevers ; the people attacked by the contagion
died within a few days.
The Janiffaries in that capital had been very mu-
tinous, on account of the irregular payment of their
wages. The Porte had depofed their Chief, and taken
the necefary Repo to iffue the pay more regularly.
The Turkilh f.finikry alert, that they have re-
ceived intelligence from Egypt that the Mamelukes
and Arabs bad been routed by the Arnants, and
completely difperfed. Private letters from Egypt
however, Rate the very reverie, adding, that the a e
pelt of ffairs in that country looks very unfavour-
able for the Porte.

At an entertainment given by the French Minifter
Baur., in celebration of Naroison BONAPARTI%
acceffion to the Imperial tide, there were no foreign
Minifters prefent, betides dtofe of Prof Ea, Naples,
and the Batavian Republic. The others could not
attend, not having yet learned what their Courts had
determined on this &Nat
The Captain Pacha is before Acre with a ftrong
fquedron, blockading that fo.trefs on the fea fide,
lAN the new Bafkaw, Ibrahim, beGeges it on the
land Gds. Their intention is to compel-the uturper,
Iftwari, to furrender, who feized upon the Govern.
meat of Acre after the death of Ghezzar Pacha, and
now refutes to give it up to the fucceffor nominated
by the Government. He alfo refutes to give up to
the Grand Seignior the great treafure collated by
Ghezzar.

Intelligence is received, and generally credited,
that the Boys of Belgrade have been obliged to fob-
mit to the fuperiority of the Pacha of Sarnia, and
to give up four of their leaders, wbo were immedi.
may beheaded.
BANKS or THS NAM SIFT. 29.,—Th! negocia.
lions between the Commiiaries of the German Em.
peror and the EleCtor of Bavaria, relative to divers
dißrias in the Upper Palatinate, are confirmed, and
the principal points fettled. We learn, on the other
band, that the Pruffian and Bavarian Cnmmil
(loners have arrived at Waldaffen, to fettle the new
frontier between the provinces of the two Powers ;
and that at the IA divifion of territory, Pruilia has
obtained a great part of the dißrie called the Foreft
of the Empire, containing many villages.
They write from Ulm, the M. Von STRUFS
Rufrian Secretary of Legation, is arrived at hall(.
bon, with orders to afrembk the remaining Swlfs
lemigrants, and to fend them of to Raffia, at-his So-
Ivereign's upence. There arc about 150 families in
readinefs to accept the terms propofed.
Lowsa Etas, Ocr. s.—All the reports relative
to inspirations in Swedifla Pomerania, menacing the
Hanoverian territory from that quarter, are deferrin
of little credit ; fince it is not likely that the fyllem of
neutrality to which Pruffia adheres amid admit of
'any furl meafures.
' SIFT. 19.-..-The Venetian fhip, under tlae
command of Capt. Viannello, arrived here on the
16th inf. from Corfou. Private letters from that
ifland mention, that, betides the Ruffian firiadron,
three Turkifh men of war were crusting in its vicini-
ty. It is believed, that the number of Ruffian troops
at Corfou alone amounts to thirteen thoufand men,
and that fisteen thoufand more were expeCted to bo
landed at Zante, at Cephalonia, and St. Maura.—
At Corfou, the Epifcnpal Palace was repairing, for
the reception of the King of Sardinia, who was ex-
peeled there.
The Prince Dotcoaucer is Rill at Collor'. The
Captain Bey has failed from Gomenzza towards the
Levant. Ali Pacha, of Janina, has received a Fir-
man from the Sultan, ()Merin him to evacuate
Prevera, Vonizza, and Butrintum.
Letters from the Black Sea mention, that a Rut-
flan army of 80,000 men is defined to undertake a
great expedition.
The brig, which had on board General Spastic!.
roma, has arrived at Corfou; it carried alto a con-
fiderable Turn of ready money.
ANTWICP, Sept. sB.—Great atlivity prevails
among the troops of the 25th and 26th military di.
vifions, who have been ordered by forced marches to
proceed towards Mentz, and to form a camp them
in its neighbourhood, where they are to manceuvre
before the Emperor. Part of the garrifons of Metz
and Luxembourg have already arrived there with a
park of artillery. In cafe of a continental war, there
'troops, with others, will be fent to Hanover. The
political conferences at Mentz will probably decide
the qiieflion of peace an i.f war.
A report was prevalent here yeflerday, that the
Emperor had returned to the coati', and would pro-
bably vifit this city ; but the letters from Boulogne,
received this morning, are entirely filent upon this
lubjett.

Baustrts, 3o.—The Belgians feem not fts
much I:le:lined to obey the laws of confcription as the
young men of the other old departments in France.
The Mayor here has, in vain, addretfed to ilie con-
fcripts of the year XIII. a lecond notice, intorming
them, that the regitters will not continue open any
longer than ti.-morrow, and defiring them to inferibe
their names, according to the formula ordered by the
Emperor. Few, if any, have obeyed ; though nei•
thee want of tire, or corporal defeat, are an entice
Ix not obferi,:eg this infcrivtion. The moll levers
meafures w,li be the contequence, particularly with
thole conicripts &limed fur the f:a Scrvlccs and fur
the Martfts.

OMIT, OCT. I.—The Marquis de Mums. Am•
baffador from the King of Naples to the Court of
France, on his return from Aix-la-Chapelle, vifited
the new naval ellablifhment at Antwerp, and after-
wards took the road r .and the Flemifh coall, and
viewed all the camps, from Offend to Boulogne.
His Excellency the Ati(lrian Ambaffador, Connt
Cozzarzss, has taken the fame road. Both thefe
Ambaffadors had been favoured with the Emperor's
particular permiffinq to vifit not only the camps on
the coal!, but the flotillas intended for the invafion of
England.
We are allured that the French Government in-
tend to fend the Hanoverian Legion to Italy, after it
has palled fome time at Lyons.
On the other hand, a number of French troops
will, in a fhort time, march towards Hanover, as a
war with the Northern Powers is not improbable.—
It is even Paid, that feveral regiments of cavalry,
chaffeurs, halos, and fome picked battalions of in•
fantry, to the number of 25,0c50, have already re-
ceived orders to march to Hanover, and to augment
the army under General BELNaDOTTE. Reinforce-
ments have been, at the fame time, fent to the armies
in Italy, which are to take anew pofition.
The troops on the coal), encamped behind the
Downs, have felt the effeas of the changeable weather
of this feafon. There are many lick in the military
hofpitals here, at Offend, Nieuport, and Bruges.
According to tem rs from the coaft, the Emperor
was not expeaed there fooner than between the isth
and cosh intl. though his arrival Mara had been every
day reported. • His Majefly intends to review again
all the encampments, beginning with thofe above and
below Offend, and emending as far as Boulogne.—
The naval armaments will be infpeCted at the fame
time. The common opinion is, that the expedition
will fet fail for England. In the mean time, the plan
to concentrate all the naval forces in the harbour of
Boulogne continues without interruption. A flrong
divifion, which yeflerday failed from Offend, has for-
tunately reached that deflination. The Batavian
gun-boats arrived from Fluffing will loon Reer the
fame courfe. The Englifh are prevented by the bat-
teries on the coaft, and by the flying artillery, from
obflruaing this junaion.
Haour", oc-roe a 6.—We have received informa-
tion that Admiral D " is arrived fife in fome
Portuguefe harbour, from the Cape of Good Hope.
According to letters from Flanders, extenfive ma-
gazines are formed for the French troops encamped
on the coal).
Our Knitter to the Court of France, SCNIMMIIL-
NINNINCK, is expelled here this day, from his coun•
try houfe in Gueldern. Citizen OLITIEII is appointed
Prefident of the Marine Council of the Batavian Re-
public.
The laft Brabant letters contain no other news, than
that the Emperor and Emprefs, on their return from
Mentz, will flop at Luxembourg, where the whole
Imperial Court is expeaed. The day of the depar-
ture of the Emperor from Mentz is not yet fixed.
M. D'Aasaito is arrived at Bruffels from Berlin,
and intends to fet out for Menta to join the Emperor,
and to give ao.account of his aniffion to the King of
Proffitt. The Emperor has appointed M. D'Aassao
his Chambeilain.—(/fagar Courant, October 6.)

The Gazette of fait night (for which fee our Taft
page) contains the official account of the attack made
by Captain HENNIKRR, of his Majelly's (loop ALBA-
CORE, on five of the enemy's gun loggers, which he
drove on Ihore on the rocks near Grofnez. This
attack was conduced with great fpirit and bravery,
as it was made in the face of the enemy's batteries on
the coat, which kept up an inceffant fire, but without
producing any effeet. The enemies 'effete were In
much flattered that there is every reafon to think
they mull have gone to pieces.
The Gazette likewife contains difpatehes from Sir
T. DUCKWORTH, giving an account of the capture
of two French privateers in the Weft Indies. One of
them was boarded near St. Domingo, by the boats
of Lis Majefly's fhip T , Cape. %mail., and
taken poffeffion of, notwithfianding a mod defpe.
rate refiflance.

According to letters from our Reet nil Bret!, not-
withllanding the very heavy gales in the beginning of
the prefent month, fix of oar flips of the line, and
five of oor frigates, remained upon their nation, fo
as keep in awe GANTHEAUME, his fourteen Rips of
the line and ten frigates. Some movements were,
however made, as if he intended to put to fi:a with
his fquadron ; hut our P.:ips preEnting themfelves in
hae of Kittle, he dcel;ncd the contett. If the report of
an Arai:: ican Captain, who failad from L'Orient on
the 6th intlant can be rciied on, Gen. AUGERFAU
and Gamrirsituras are not upon the ben terms;
the former accuficg the latter of cowardice. To
reconcile there two Commanders, Box AAAAAA had
tent his Aid-de-Camp, Gen. SAVA Y, to Brea, where
he Rill remained on die 3d, with ARTHva O'Connor,
O'NEIL. and feveral other Irifli officers in the French
fervicc, all diffatisfi.el with the manner in which
they are treated by BONAPAILTI and his Com-
manders. The corps of huh guides encamped near
Brea. according to the report of the American Cap.
tain, confined of t to men, many of whom defired
the American to procure them an opportunity tn
snake their &ape, as they were badly paid and ill
stied ; and betides, if any attempt was to be made

on England or Ireland, they knew that they were to
be employed as the forlorn hope, as perfons whom
BONAPARTE WinICEI to get rid of. The divifton nnder
ARTHUR O'Cossoa's command codified of tome
Irak, Brabanters, Flemings, and Germans, from the
conquered Departments, amounting to 4000 men,
all dcfperadoes, who were intended to form the ad-
vanced guard, in any defperate undertaking. Ten
thodand land troops were on board GANTHEAVOIE'S
fquadron ; but none of there were in the number,
which led to a belief, that neither England nor Ire-
land was his deflination.

Lail night we received Dutch papas to the Bth
inftant. Their contents will be found in the preced-
ing columns. Although the rumour of Bo
return to the coaß has been common io Brabant and
Flanders, it is not yet certain when he will leave)
Mentz. An article from Ghent Rates, that be would
join .the army between the Isti and zoth, about
which time it was expeited the grand expedition
would fail, and make the attempt upon this country.
The troops in the neighbnurhood of Mend are very
fickly, and the eliabliflunznt of magazines, would in-
duce an opinion, that theft barafred men will fpend
another winter in their encampments. The French,
armies in Italy and Hanover daily, receive reinforce-
ments, and a Continental war is fpoken of as'pro.
table. The name of the Ruffiin Charge des Affaircs,
d'bussix, doe's not appear in the numbe'r of the di-
plomatic agents ptefented to Bo at, ni t at Mentz.
It is probable, therefore, that he is detained there as
an hoflage or a prifoner. No mention is made of
Sweden, nor is there a Tingle paragraph relating to
Ruffil, except anZzaggerated account of the Ruffian
troops in the Seven Minds.

Manila's-, to the 7th have been alfo received. They
are extremely barren of intelligence.
No notice is taken of the attempt made on the zd
intl. to &boy the French gun veffels in Boulogne
Bay.

There were Come arrivals yefterday from Rotterdam,'
and a bag of letteri, we underfland, was made up at
the Poll-Office for Holland on Saturday. The vellels
from Rotterdam may be expeded to have brought
Come iaterefting news.

Yefterday we received Boßon Papers to the 17th
of September. They furnifh no additional fats
refpeaing the Rate of the lisgociation between
Spain and America. From St. Domingo it is
mentioned, that. General ,Ftazarro conduits him.
fclf with more policy than his predeceffors LIICLERC
and ROCHAMBIAV, and that he is colleting French
troop. from various quarters to Rrengthen the diftria
he holds. DESSA Limes, on the other hand, has fworn
hot to leave a French or Spanilh foldier alive in
the ifland hi the courfe of a month ; and the war.
fare is likely to Le attended on both fides with
circumflances not lefs (hocking to humanity than
thole which have already Rained the hitlory of that
unhappy Colony. That the conduit of the parties is
not marked by any firades of diftiation favourable
to the Whites, the following horrid tranfation, re-
lated in the American papers. will ferve to prove :1
On board an American armed (hip, lately carried
into Guadaloupe, there happened to be 30 Negroes.
fubjtas of Hayti, who were every foul burnt to death
by order of General ERNOVF ! The latter is laid to
have written to Prclident JFFFsasow, to inquire whe.
Cher he authorifed American veffels to trade with the
Blacks? and it was generally fuppofed that the Ame-
rican. would be compelled to arm in defence of their
commerce, which continue. to fuffer materially from
the lau•lefs conduit of the French privateers in the
Weft Indies.

As the Lilly hoop of war, captured fume time ago
by a French privateer, was lately proceeding from
one post to another in Guadaloupe, fhe was Attacked
by the Boats of an Englith frigate, which, we are
Corry to obferve, did not fucceed in the attempt to
recapture her. Neatly fixty men, it is fisid, were
loft on both fides.

The Mortality at Charlefton, it feems, has been
