According to accounts from Genoa, of the 35 it
of Auguß, the French had not attempted any de-
cifive meafure againft Porto Ferrajo. They had,
however, a battery, and a corps of two thoufand
men in readincfs for aftion. The two French fri-
gate, were (Jill in the port of Leghorn ; and the

-The Archduke JOHN fet out from Salzburgh
on the morning of the 27th ult. for the Tyrol, by
way of Pongeau, Pinzgau, the heights of Gerlos,
and the Zillerthal. He is to remain in the Tyrol,
in the capacity of Direflor-General of Engineers,

We learn from Vienna, that Count de LASZAN-
sin( has tranfmitted to the Chancery of Bohemia,
the fame note that was previottfly addreffed to the
perfons employed under the Council of War, upon
the fubjeel of drefs. His Royal Highnefs the
I Archduke CHARLES rigoroufly enforces his direc-
i tions, and feveral officers who had not complied
with them, have been put under arrefl.
Letters from Vienna Rate, that it is intended to
unite in one province Styria, Carinthia, and Car-
niola, whilft Auftrian Frioule and IRria are to be
joined to the government of the Venetian Pro-
vinces ; and Croatia, Albania, and Dalmatia, to
be incorporated with the kingdom of Hungary.—
The motives for thefe projected changes are the di-
minution of expence, and the giving greater force
and unity to each part of the internal admini-
ftration.
The projeds of fecularization have fo much
alarmed the Abbots and Prelates of Suabia, that

In the night of the loth inflant, an Englith vef-
fel of about 200 tons, in handl, was 'handed
about a league eaftward of the harbour of Calais.
She was at firft taken for one of the Englifh armed
veffels on that Ration. A gun-boat which was
clofe in lhore faved the (hip's company. Two de-
tachments of infantry and chaffeurs with a num-
ber of failors and carpenters, were fent to fave as
much of the rigging and other articles as could be
carried away, and to fet fire to the vette'. The
gun-boat kept up a conftant fire upon them ; but
not one of them was hurt, though her twenty four
pounders fell confiderably beyond the wreck,which
was foon in flames.
The reduction fo long talked of in the Dutch
national troops is to take place immediately. The
Batavian army will, upon the new plan, confiit of
two divilions, forming an effedive total of about
25,0c0 men, exclurively of the two German regi
ments of Waldeck and Saxe Gotha, and the
French troops in the pay of the Batavian Republic.
Other reforms are alfo projected; and a great part
of the faving thus effeEted, will be appropriated to
the rettoration of the Dutch navy, which at pre-
fent claims all the attention of Government.
