It was rtmoured IA night that difpatches had
beet% received from Admiral Coanwas.t.ts, announ-
cing that the lir& Fleet had put to fea. We can
affure our Readeti that there is no truth in this re-
port. It is true, indeed, that difpatches were yef-
terday received from that meritorious Commander;
but they only announced that no particular move-
ment had taken place in the harbour of Bret, and
that the fleet under his command was in a high (late
of health and fpirits.

It is with infinite pleafure we refer our Iteaders to
the anfwer given by the Minifter laft night in the
Houle of Commons, to a queftion put to hint by
Lord fefoai.rrie, refpeeting the alledgid correfpon-
' dence of Mr. DRAKE with the abandoned French
fpy, Mahee de la Touche. The opinion we have
r uniformly expreffed upon this flibjeCt is now fully
jiillified, by the unequivocal declaration of Hi:
I.I4JISTY'S CHANCELLOR of the ExcuseLyee, that
the Britifh Government have, neither dire Elly nbr in;

ufage of civilized States, or inennfillent with the
laws of nations, fo long eflabliflied and recognized

The Captain of a Hansburgh verel, which left
Morlaix on 'fhurfday laft, and arrived at Plymouth
on Saturday, dates, that before he failed, a report
prevailed there, fuppofed to have fame foundation,
of accounts having been received from Paris, of an
infurreetion there having taken place, and that the
mob, much exafperated at the murder'of the Duke
d'Eacitsta, had feized and maffacred Bo AAAAA Ts.
The Captain, who i% a refpeetable man, rays, fuch
was the report ar Morlaix when he left it, and he
gives it as he received it without vouching for its au-
thenticity. We (halt only add, that it is hardly
poClible the report can be true. The news of filch
an event, had it taken place, could have reached Lon-
don by Come snore shred channel two or three days
ago.

The journey of Madam Be AAAAA Tx, mother. of
the Flux Coasux, to Rome, at the precut conjunc-
ture, is a circurnltance which may give rife to vari-
ous conjedures, efpecially as the was attended with
a Rrong guard, and feemed in fuch bete that the
would not (lop to receive the congratulations of the
public fundionaries. A letter from Rome in the CIJ
de Cal'isece, of April fiat, lays, that " Madam Bona-
PART!, mother of the Prince's Boecwrss, was loon
expeded in that city." The objed of the old lady's
journey may indeed be merely a vifit to her daugh-
ter ; but we recoiled that at the commencement of
the French revolution, the aunts of Louts XVI.
when they obferved the Rona gathering, wifely with.
drew in t‘me, and took op their abode in a country
which was then in a (Late of greater tranquillity. By
thefe means they efcaped the melancholy fate which
awaited many of their friends and relations. Madam
BOMAPARTI may have thought it prudent to follow
their example. Diamonds and Jewels are eafily car-
ried, and would no doubt be perfealy fate under a
guard of hurirs and lens d'armes.

According to letters from Paris, an Addrefs has

he is `sown to have long fighed fur, and now it

A letter frdm Hanover, dated April 6, hates, that
the Executive Commalion has publi(hcd a proclama-
tion, forbidding the circulation of a book, called
Khpoleon Bonaparte and she French People cinder his Con-
fulate, and even ordering it to be confifcated when
found in the hands of private perfons. The fame
work has alto been prohibited at Franckfort and other
places. It appears by private accounts that the cafe
has been the fame at Hamborgh, in confequence of
a letter from the French Government, flgned by
TALLEYIAND, which fervcs as a (hiking inhance of
the grofs ignorance of the French refpeeling other
countries. The letter of Citizen T. requefled the Se-
nate to prohibit the Cale of the book in the whole Cir.
tle of Lower Saxony, over no part of which it can
have the lean authority, which is confined merely to
its own very limited territory. But notwithflanding

AMSTERDAM, APIIL 3.

Letters from Paris fpeak of fome changes which,
agreeably to the saes of the nation, will be
made for the benefit of France and public tranquil
lity. •The Full Office of the State is to be converted
into a higher hereditary dignity ; Lucian and lowa

NAGUI, •PItIL 3.

Yefterday an artilan named Dumolien was brought
here, having been arrefted at the requeft of the
French. He had lately arrived from Landis*, and
was implicated in the late confpiracy. He was guard-
ed by a French efcort, and lodged in the prifon Poort,
where he has already been examined by the Batavian
Fifcal. A lift of fufpeeled perfons has been cunt:
mitted to our government from Path.

General MaTamonx returned hither from North I
Holland on the ill intl. and immediately had fome
conferences with the Marine Council. Tn-day be
will return to the head-quarters at Utrecht: in the
vicinity of which, at Zeill, the troops will be affem-
bled, which are chained for the expedition.
The veldt of the }infixing flotilla, which had ar-
rived at•l)unkirk, have proceeded to Oftend through
the canals of Belgium.
The maintenance of the French troops, in our Re
public, according to the Public Journals, coils now
annually (even millions and a half of florins, betides
extraordinary expences.

nussttooarr, MARCH 31.
According to authentic intelligence, the report in
the public prints, that Wefel is ordered to be provi.
honed for twelve months, is quite falfe. On the other
hand, it is certain that all abfentees from the
Prullian regiments in Wefiphalia are recalled. It is
alfo reported that 36,000 Pruffian. Brunfwick, and
Hefflan troops will form a camp at Lippßadt and a
cordon on the frontiers. A large quantity of oxen is
buying up in Bavaria for French account.

VIRSIA, MARCH 31.

On the zSth ina. the French Ansbsiffador, Citar•
vaonv, received important difpatches by a Courier
from Paris, and the next day had a conference on
the fubjed of them with the Minifter of State, Count
COBINTZEL.

Yefterday it was reported that two French Emi-
grants cf diffinftion had been arrefled : but this is not
confirmed. We are, however, allured, that feveral
French Emigrants muff leave the Auftrian States.
It is underftood that a negociation is carrying on
between our Court and the Swifs Government, rela-
tive to a new projeS for (ruling boundaries, and an
exchange of territory. According to this projeft,
the Rhine will form a National Boundary ; the town
of Cotiff.ince will be allotted to Switzerland, and
Schaffhaufen to Auffria.

STUTCARD. APRIL 2.

A new General Refcript relative to the refidenee
of the French emigrants in the Eleeloral States has
juft been publifted here, of which the following is
the purport :
“ In confequenee of the renewed Ordinances and Regulations
lately adopted in the Electorate of !laden, with terped to the French
Emigrants, there is rearm to fear that many of them, on bring
obliged to I that territory, will take up their Kilda= in our
States,we bcrthy idly command, that all the Ordinances rela-
tive to the faid Emigrants be carried Into full tired ; that they be
oloftevcd wit h a vigilant eye ; and racer provided with an unex-
ceptionable legitimation,be not (offered to remain in our territory
longer than tw•ctity•four hours, and this only in towns latuate on
the great poll roads, as they are on no account to be received into
