GER..II4N PAPERS.

FROM THE DORDER3 OF 13O1TL•MIA, JULY 11.

Whilst every pre-reparation is making at Prague,
and whilst quarters are already bespoken in the an-
cient car Eal of Brairania for the Plenipotentiaries,
every thing is in warlike mraion, both in the king-
dom of Bohemia and in the hereditary States, We
are assured that since the Ist July 150,000 men, pro-
poly accoutred, have been placed on t.:e war estab-
lishment. The patent, by which the militia are called
out, remained unusually long at the printing-office,
but was at lengt'. very much hastened, as was like-
wise the.new Conscription Law, according to which,
only the higher chess of nobility arc free from the
conscription. To each regiment of the line in future
are to be added two battalions of militia (in the
whole about 70,000 men), who are to be dressed
perfectly like their regiments, in coats and rebats.—
Every one, who hitherto belonged to the cavalry,
and received his discharge, is called upon to enter
again, and form a choice body of mounted militia,
which is to be formed in great haste.
All the reports of a personal meeting between our
Emperor, and the Emperor of Russia and King pf
Prussia, are without any foundation. The Emperor
Alexander merely had a meeting with the Arch,
Duchesses Maria and Catharina of Opotschna, who
came there from Prague, and as well as the Emperor
himseit, were there entertained in the most superb
manner, by order of our Emperor. At Ratchaschutz,
a Bohemian estate belonging to the Duchess of Sa-
gan, a dinner table bad been laid for the Emperor
Alexander by himself, bur he requested to dine with
the rest of the company, then at the palace, and ac-
cordingly had Count. V. Metternich, Baron Von
Humboldt, the Chevalier Von Crenta, and several
other personages, at 'table.
All the endeavours of the Austrian Government
have hitherto undeniably been made for the preser-
vation of the strictest neutrality ; and for that reason
the exportation of considerable quantities of corn and
cats for the use of the French army was permitted ;
for this purpose the march of the ev.cellent Polish
corps under Po niatowi.ki through Cracau to Lusatia
was permitted. And tri,hont this conscientious rum.-
trailty, certainly all mediation for peace would have
been !littsory. As it is said to be known that strong
reconnoissances have been at several times perceived
along the borc:ers of Bohemia, it is reported that on
the Austrian side a cordon li is been drav!ti along the
border, and a few men detached to the chici passes,
on account of securing police matters. A niost be-
neficial patent tor the finances, is that by which the
use ol coffee is permitted again in tho Hereditary
states, from the Ist July, on paying a proprtionable
du y 4 experience has proved that the prohibition only
gave rise to dece
ptions and num hprles4 frau4s to evade
the law, and lesseaed the aulount of the dittie, pro-
bably :ilium twelve millions of guilders, but witholit
actually lesecniu; the COtlhoimptio itself. •

TO CORKEtilh iNDENTS.
G. M, Is Informed, that we have sent his Letter to the Sitting
Mag;stra• c at Hatton-Garden (Mace.

MONDAY, AUGUST 9, 1813.

Soon atter our Paper was at Press on Saturday the
report of a Flag of Truce having arrived from France
began to be doubted, and we mentioned the circum-
stance in the subsequent part of our impression. In
fact, it proves to have been an imposition for stock-
jobbing purposes, and which for a time had the effect
to raise Omnium i per cent.
The letter we gave on Saturday lens received by
the Master of I,Lovo's Coffte•house per Mail, and
was signed with the firm of CURLING ani Co. of
Deal. It was posted in the Coffee-room in the usual
way, and was at first generally credited ; but the
absence of other accounts soon c re4ted suspicion as
to its authenticity, and another notice was posted,
stating, that the original letter lay for inspection in
the Secretary's room, in erder that any Gentleman
acquainted with the firm at Deal might certify the
signature, or expose the forgery. Soon afterwards,
one of the partners in the house of CeltLinl and Co.
who happened to be in town, came to peruse the
letter, and immediately declared it to be a forgery,
and Stocks, of course, tell to their original price.

Saturday we noticed the arrival of the Rabert Barns
cartel, at Liverpool, from New-York, and we were
enaLded to lay before our Readers it copy of the Bil.
prohibiting all intercourse with Gre4t Bt itain, with
few of the particulars brought by that ves•el. We
haye since received regular files of tl,mrricau PApeis
to the 13th ult. from which we have givep some im
portant extracts.

With respect to the expedition under Sir J. B. NV A it
RES? it is stated, that on the morning the •I2J or
June, an attack was made at two po.nts upon Crany

Island, near Norfolk. A landing was effected at one
point ; but the other attack having proved unsuccess-
ful, the detachment which had effected the debarka.
tion was withdrawn. Admiral WARREN'S boat, car-
rying 75 men, was sunk by the fire of the enemy's
artillery, and only twenty soldiers and sailors were
med. On the 25th a descent was made at Hamp-
ton, with 2500 men, 400 of whom are said to be rifle-
men. The enemy, who made an ineffectual resist-
ance, estimate the British loss at 250, and their own
at only twenty, A considerable part of the town
seems to have been burned. Our troops were prepa-
ring to penetrate into the inter.or ; and for that pur-
pose were collecting horses to form a corps of cavalry.
The latest accounts received at New-York stimate
their amount at 5000, The British naval force at
Hampton consisted of sic sail of the line, five fri-
gates, three brigs, and one sloop of war, with a
number of transports. In I.ynhaven Bay there were
two 74's, two frigates, one sloop of war, and sevtral
tenders. Sir TIIONIAS Haeny's squairnn continued
to blockade the United States and Macedo.'ian at
New London. A' letter from: General Haftutt,oli
of the sth June, says, that the Indians were bllck-
ading Fort Wayne. The blockade of the American
ports was notified at Washington on the 27th June.
General DEAR/101(NX, in a letter elated the 25t1t of
June, front' Fort George, laments the loss of a de-
tachment of 570. men, under Colonel Beeasmett,
with the sole exception of one volunteer, will escaped.
NEW YORK, JULY 6.

6' A Cour na Matz.—Yesterd :y forenoon a fishing
smack was sent out from Musgilet° Cove, by Com-
modore Lewis, who has the cottimond of the flotilla
of gnu boats stationed at the Hook, for the purpose
of taking by stratagem the sloop E tgle, tender to the
British 74, Poictiers, cruizing off and on Sandy Hook
Light House, which it appears succeeded to a charm.
The smack, named the Yankee, was borrowed of some
fishermen at Fly Market, and a calf,a sheep, and a
goose purchased and secured on deck. Between 30
and 4U men, well armed with muskets, were secreted
in the cabin and fore.peake of tie smack. Thus pre-
pared, she stood out to seas as if going on a fishing
trip to the Banks, three men only being on deck,
dressed in fishermen's apparel with buff caps on.-e.
The E igl., on perceiving the smack, immediately'
gave chacc, and after coming up with her. and find
ing she had I:ve stock on deck, ordered her to go
down to the Commodore, then about five miles dis-
tant. The helmsman tithe smack afswered—• aye,
aye, Sir,' and apparently put up the helm for that
porpn,e, which brow. ht him alongside-the Eagle, not
more than threw y ids distant. The wachword
Lawrence, w 15 then given, when the armed men
rushed on deck fre m their hiding places, and lu
i into her a volley of muketry, which struck i,er crew
with dismay, and drove them all down so precipi.
tately• into the hold of the vessel, that they hail not
Irime to strike their colours.

" Seeing the deck was cleired of the enemy, sail.
ing mister Percival who commanded the expedition,
ordered his men to cease firing. Upon whim one of
the enemy came out. cf the hold and struck the co-
lours of the Eagle. She had on board a .32.polind
brass howitzer, loaded with cannisier shot ; but so
sodden was the surprise they had nor rime to dis-
charge it. The crew of the Eagle consisted of H.
till rris, master's mate or the Poictiers, W. Pike,
midshipmai., and 11 marines. Mr. Morris was
killed, and Mr. Price mortally wounded ; one marine
killed, and one severely wounded. rile Eagle; with
the prisoners, was brought op to town yesterday af-i
ternoon, and landed at Whitehall, amidst 'the shouts
and plaudits of thousands or spectators, Assembled on

Saturday List spoke a Swedish sloop, twenty days
from Jamaica for Bath ; informed, that Americas
produce was plenty on that island.
66 Itivitstow or VIRGINIA.—Letters from Wash.
ington, received this morning, inform, that official
intelligence had been received there, stating, that the
British had landed an army of from S to 5000 men
at Sandy Point, about forty five miles from Rich-
mond, It was conjvctured that the capital of 'Vir-
ginia was their object, and it was feared there was not
a sufficient force in that quarter to prevent their get-
ting possession of that important city. After the al.-
~ rival of the news, several of the Virginia Members of
Congress obtained leave of absence from the House,
and were gi ing home to take care of their families.—
It was feared that the Bluish would encourage a re.
volt of the negroes, and in that case it was thought
they would be able to 'ay waste all tire looser gait of
the State of irgiiii.t. The Bliosii are now in the

o'. leek the British made an attack by land and water)
tyr.tt Hampton. One party landed about five miles
ab AT that place, while another proceeded directly
by water. Our information is derived from a person
who saw what passed from this side of Hampton
iioa;ls. He states that the firing was kept up for one
hour and 45 minutes, when it ceased, and he dis-
tinctly saw the barges row into the creek and land at
1-14mpion. The firing from the fort ceased with that
of the musketry. We cannot state what became of
fie troops stationed there, but it is to be hoped they
have escaped. The force was, as we understand,
b tween 6 arid 800..—Two houses were set en fire by
the rockets, but our informant thinks the Are was
extinguished."
" RICHMOND, JUNE 26.
ZROUGHT BY EXPRESS THIS MORNING, AT ONE O'CLOCK
IN TILE NIGHT OF THE 25TH OP JUNE.
" Mr. Scott has this moment arrived from York ;
he inform that an express had arrived there about one
o'clock yesterday with the dreadful melancholy news
of the capture of Hampton. This express was sent
to an officer of the 115th regiment, who was in York,
frem Colonel Howard, ordering him to repair to the
Hallway House, between Hampton and York, as
Hampton had been taken possession of by the enemy.
I shall order my regiment out immediately—the
greater portkn to rendezvous at Williamsburg; the
balance at York. In haste.
" Yours, with. respect, &e.
44 WILLIAM WALKER,
Colonel Commandant 68th Rev. V. M."
" James Larhour, Esq."

The Express is an intelligent man, and 1
states the attack commenced yesterday morning at
four, by water. Cengreve rockets led the way, which
set fire to Hampton. The enemy had effected a lan.
ding at Hampton—they were met gallantly by our
Militia, and Major Gowan L. Corbin, of York
County, is killed ; and Captain Robert Anderson, of
Williamsburg, either killed or taken prisoner—they
are both brave men :—strange t • tell, the British are
sAid to•have about 30 troopers. What was the ex-
tent of the loss on our side, cannot be ascertained. It
is believed that most of our troops were retiring to
t,lie Half-way House, which was to be a rendezvous
for the surrounding Militia."
g - ip— The Express arrived at one o'clock this
morning, and the Council were immediately conve-
ned. Measures were promptly taken, and are in a
win of rapid execution. The Militia of New Kent
and Charles City have been called out b? the Execu-
tive ; the Militia of Chesterfield and Hanover have
been ordered, the first to rendezvous at Broad Rock,
and the last at the Oaks. Two troops of cavalry,
viz. from Powhatan and Goochland, have also been
called out by she Executive. The Militia of War-
wick, York, James City, an Elisabeth City, have
also been called out by their Colonels Commandant."
