LYONS, JANUARY sr.
This day Cardinal Ruffo palled through this city,
on his way to Paris.

ROUEN, FEBRUARY 4.

The diocefe of St. Brien; five hundred thonfand
fouls, mould have (even hundred cures, but have
aaually fcarcely five hundred ; one hundred and
/my priefis have died in this diocefe in the fall two
years, and the (Culinary hays only thirty perfons
who are defined to take orders. During the fail fif-
teen years fcarcely any perfons have taken orders in
France. _ _

The Cardinal Archbithop of Rouen, in a paftoral
letter upon the fubjeft, obferves—g, Within a few
gears the vac diocefe of Rouen will be without prices.
It is impoffible to replace the ravages made by death
—many of our fellow labourers have reached fifty
years of age ; many are beyond that period ; perhaps
very Coon, our country places, and even our cities,
will have nothing but a few miffionaries, wandering
from parifh to parifh, and effetaing but little of what
ought to be done."
After exhorting his clergy to exert themfelves to
the utmoft to prevent thefe effe 1. ; without them,
he obferves, the reftoration of the worfhip of our
fathers will be vain and illufory ; and without the
eilablifhment of a feminary, he adds, nothing will
remain to the church of Rotten but the bare edifices,*
and the regrets of the faithful.

MADRID, JANUARY so.

The coati of Catalonia has become the fettle of an
achievement worthy of a place in the annals of Eng-
lifh piracy. An officer who was leading a detach-
ment from Tortofa to Reufs ftate,, that a (mall body
of armed Englifh had landed, for the purpnfe of
carrying off his cheep. He went to meet thefe mo-
dern Buccaneers, killed one of them, and took three
',droners. The reft took to their boats in hafte, car-
rying along with them, as their only booty, the
curies of the peaceable inhabitants they intended to
plunder.

The Hamburgh Mail, due on Sunday, arrived at
a late hour laft night. The one that fell due this
day has not yet been received.

Paris Journals, to the 9th inflant, have alto ar-
rived.

The French troops are in full march againft
Na-
pies, but no certain accounts of aftual hoßilities have
yet been received, though Come unfounded reports of
a contrary nature appear in Come of the foreign jour-
nals. A letter from Frockfort Rates, that the
Neapolitan army has been entirely difperfed, and the
Crown Prince killed.—Another letter (from Vienna)
reports him to have been attacked with a violent fe.
ver, but does not mention the refult. For other
particulars refpeaing Naples, fee the eztraas.
The occupation of Dalmatia by a French force has
caufed great uneafinefs :o the Turks, who are appre-
henfive, and not without reafon, that no good can
refult to them from Co clofe a neighbourhood with
thofe who have promifed to Außria " indemnities in
the EaR." Indeed all the Turkifh provinces border
ing upon the Auflrian frontier appear to be in a molt
deplorable Rate. Overwhelmed as they are by war,
anarchy, and famine, they can offer no refißance to
any regular or well-organized force that may be fent
againfl them. The intelligence from Augfburgh
Rates, that the Archduke FSLOINAND had proceeded
with the corps under his command, and a confider-
able reinforcement drawn from the Archduke
CHARLSS'S army, towards the Turkifh frontier,—
Some pains are taken to difcredit the report originat-
ing horn that movement, that the objea of it was

,
the
occupation' of tome of the furkifir provinces
contiguous to the Auftrian dominions.
The accounts refpeiting the probable future fate of
Hanover are various: Some alert that the Duke of
Baumswicx is to be created an Eleiaor, and have that
country conferred on him. One thing feems probable,
at any rate—that it will never be restored to its right-
ful owner.

We have been fo long the dupes of Continental
politics, that it may fairly be quefLioned whether the
lots of the Ele&orate of Hanover ought to be confi-
dered as a real evil to this country ?
Notwithfianding the apparent re•eftablifbment of
harmony between France and Pruffia, it is evident
that the latter does not fully trait to this fecurity.
Private letters from Berlin, as well as many circum.
fiances of the prefent proceeding of Prullia, Teem
to confirm this, as does alto an article in the Moni-
fair relative to Tome reports difadvantageous to the
French, fiat circulated in the Bamberg Gazette.
Their, though evidently falfe, as the Monitear rays,
were repeated in that of Weld ; " indeed," continues
the Moniker, ‘. all the Pruffian Gazettes repeat innu-
merable fimilar falfehoods, which prove that the
Englith party at Berlin fill holds up its head, though
not to the degree it would do if the Minifier Count
HARDINIIIIM could have his wins wiy."

Private letters from Holland of a late date, fate,
that the Dutch Government have determined to (hut
the harbour of Catwyck, for the purpofe of prevent-
ing all future intercourfe between England and that
part of Holland.

According to accounts from Barbadoes, brought
it by a veffel arrived at Liverpool, the expedition tin-
der Sir D. BAIRD and Sir Hosea Po►BAN has ar-
rived in the river Plata, and taken Buenos Ayres.
This news was brought by Captain Lswros, of the
Venerable, who reports, that the day he failed the
Lieutenant of the NORTH 1.1 mattLiso come on board
with letters, and informed him that Admiral Cocir-
tam s had received the intelligence which we have juft
Bated. It is poffible, however, that the report may
bave originated in tome founded on accounts
received of Sir HOME Por HAWS arrival at St. Sal.
vador. The latch authentic intelligence from this
expedition is from St. Salvador, the 27th November.
It has been thought probable that an attempt might
be made on fame of the Spanifh fettlements previous
to the expedition proceeding to the Cape.
