mem TH.I FRENCH AND DUTCH PAPERS.

VIENNA, Aon usr 2 tel y an A unrian and
two French Couriers arrived here from Paris, and
two Couriers from Sr. Peter (burgh. We learn by
letters and travellers from Poland, that the Ruffian
troops on the frontier of Gallicia continue to increale
confiderably in number. The Miniiter of State, Count
Cos EN rz EL, has communicated to all the Foreign Mi.
nifiers at this Court, the Note delivered by M. No-
VOSILTZOFF to the Prullian Cabinet on the rupture of
the-negotiation between Ituffia and France.

FRANCKFORT, AUGUST 20.—We have heard, that
an important declaration has been tranfmitted by his
Majelty the Emperor NAPOLEON, to a great Court,
in anfwer to the !ail Note of M. de NovositTzurF, in
which his Maje!ly is laid to have teltified his willing-
nefs to accept she mediation of that Court, in order
to fettle the milunderaanding exiling between him
and other powers. Without crediting all. there reports,
we may at kali conclude from them, that peace has
many partizans on the Continent, and that they op.
pore their news to the warlike intelligence from Eng-
land. '

AUGUST at —The Pruffian troops cantoned in
Franconia have received orders to recall their half-
yearly furloughs. They name, betides Denmark,
literal States of Germany who have determ:ned to
unite to Pruffsa for the maintenance of their Neutra-
lity, and who have lready commenced ne;nciations
fur this objeel. For fume weeks they have been
tranfporting to Marienburgh, near Wurtzburgh, a
park of artillery and warlike doves, which were in
the arfenal of Munich. This meafure has tairett place
in confequence of a decifion of his Serene Electoral
Highr.cfs, importing that in future tile fort of Mari-
enburgh than be the depot for the artillery for the
Elcetoral S:ates. All the conjeCtures rhich have been
formed in this refired are entirely dellitute cf foun-
dation. •

r Haas,, SEPT. 3.—His Excellency the Grind Pen-
Aviary this morning. opened the Affembly of their
High ,vtightinefres with a fpeecb, in which he, among
ower things, alluded to the critical fituation in which
the affairs of the Continent are placed. He gavien-
couragement to their High Mightineffes, by °beery-
ing in fubftance, that affairs were not yet altogether
defperate, and that he flattered himfelf they would
fuon affume an advantageous nape for the peace of
the Continent.

STUTCIAILD, AUG. 21.—The following notice has
been publithed in the territories of the E:nperor in
Upper Suabia :
" Among the camps colleted, in great numbers,
in the courfe of this fummer, as formerly, on account
of the introdation into the Imperial and Autitian
army of a new exercife, one will be formed in the
vicinity of the Voralberg. The troops Rationed in
the di,tri 1 of Bregenta are required to repair thither
with,ort &c."
In contequence, the regiment of Tyrolian Char.
fem.+, forming the 64th of the Aultrian army, which
has been for a long time cantoned in feveral parts
of Upper Suabia, has fet out for the Voralberg. A
division of the regiment of Bender has been detached
to Fehltirch. Subfequent news from the Voralberg
glare, that the camp formed there will not feparate
until the t sth of September, and that, upon the ar-
rival of that time, and after the troops (hall have
completed their military evolutions, they will return
to their former cantonments. There are not want-
iog in Germany, who are inclined to think
that the formation of all there camps in the Außrian
territories is only a pretext for affembling a great
many troops, and making preparations for hotlili-
•ties. At the fame time, this idea is rejeted by thofe
who think that the Government are fwayed by their
real interefts. However it may be, this uncertainty
met ioon come to au end.

Auu. 24.--We have this moment received letters
from Vienna, confirming the news of the departure
of Count SCHWARZ ENBERG, Field Martha' Lieute-
nant, and Vice Prefident of the Aulic Council of
War, fo. Berlin. It is added, that the objca of his
million is to concert with the Pruffian Minifters on
many important fubjeCts, connected with the prefent
situation of Europe.
A large encampment is about to be formed in the
plain which extends from Liuz to Welt, and which
is known bt• the appellation of the Heath of Wels.—
•i'he Ercpernes own regiment of infantry paired
through Linz, on the 6th of Augnit, on its way
t'lither ; the regiment of Kerpin followed on the
;tit, and that of Beaulieu on the tacit. Sixteen re-
giments, dedined for the tame place, were fucceffively
expeCted ; a ra:k of artillery, of 150 pieces of can•
non, is to be c ,uveyed to Linz, where part of it has
already attired.
Ordets have been given to raife feveral battalions
of rill:men, ;n Dalmatia and At:alien Albania; they
axe to be ipeedily formed and organized. It is like-
wife co: firineJ, that al; the frontier troops (regi-
ments of light troops, and irregular corps, Rationed
in time of peace along the frontiers of Turkey) have
received orders to hold themfelves in readinefs.
A great number of other regiments have been put
in motion. The following• is an accurate hia of
them : the regiments of the Cuiraffiers of Hohenzo-
tern, Lorraine, the Archduke Francis, and the Prince
Royal, are ordered to form a dißinff camp, near
Raab, in Hungary. The regiments of Cuiraffiers of
the Archduke ALBERT and black, forni, frith the
regiment of Huffars of the Archduke Pat.:Apar,
another camp near Minkendorff. The Emperm-'s
own regiment of cavalry reinforces the garrifon of
Vienna ; the regiments of infantry of the Archduke
RUDOLPH, REIS]: T and LATTERMANN, are ordered to
march to Venice. The regiments of Mitrowtky and
Lindenau, are proceeding to Tyrol. Thole of Crohn,
Wenzel Colloredo, Charles Shcreder and Francis
Kir.ihy, are marching into the interim of Aultria ;
and the regiment of Hulfars of Lichtentlein, is to re•
inforce the camp of General Klenau, at Budweifs,
in Bolie:nia.

A uc us r z().—Pa ;vale letters from Vienna of the
16th of this month, announce, that the camp which is
no.: form iag near Minkendorff, will be very confider-
able. The I,:port of an arrival of an army of from So
to 9:-",oco Ruffians upon the frontiers of Gallicia, is
;tele:tit premature, as the lated letters receive; at
Vienna, from Lemberg, make no mention of it, al.
though they date, that for feveral weekspaft, prepara-
tions for war have been making in the whole of Rut
fan Poland. The Vienna letters to which we allude,
expicfsly 'late, that the news there is as much of a
pacific, as of an hoftile complexion. While we are
allured, upon one fide, that all the differences fnbfifl-
in,t between the feveral Continental Powers will be
fettled in a general Congrefs, to be held immediately
—it is afferted, upon the other, that, upon the id of
September, the whole Auflrian army will be placed
upon a war eliabliihment ; and that. fi on.; that time,
the new contraas made with the Baron de WI mina
for fupplying the troops with provifions, will be car-
ried into et-cation. The new military promotion is
to be publilhed at an 'early' day.
V; t EL, AUG. ;S.—Dr. Hr tm, of Berlin, has pub-
iilhed the following Note, on the fubjea of the fhower
of peas, which, we are allured, fell at Landthut, in

a The Privy Counfeller of Itchke has feat me a
cert.lin'tplantity of tiwfe grains which have fallen at
Landihitt, and its environs, in a violent form. On
firfl looking at them, I took them f'r feeds ; but
having tlecped them in water, I found that they
were tubercles, fuch as we often fee grow to the
roots of feveral plants. I wat doubtful, whether.
they came from the crcha, from the fpir ajlinendada ;
or, in (bort, from the ranunculiafraria. The apo-
thecary Schroder roan convinced me that thefe tuber-
cles belonged to fome roots of the ficaria. This plant,
which Linnaeus alto calls A-Idol:um wink:, thrives in
watery places. Probably sn inimenfe heap of thefe
tubercles formed themfelaes in Come confined place,
from which a whirlwind has carried them into the
air, and they have naturally fallen in a flower. Our
celebrated chemitt Klaproth, has pinted out to me
the firit and fecond' volumes of 71, New Chemical
.7ournal, publithed by Gehlin, in which a very *toter-
citing account is givin of the fame kind of !bowers of
peas or grains. There tubercles contain, like all
others, a farinaCecus fabflance, limilar to that whiCh
is extrafted from potatoes, turnips, and other roots."
It will be ufcful and platable to people relidiag in
the country) to undafivid and amine the.laria.

Prreasstrecn, Anc. /4 —Since Futon
stsvzoves return to this place, they (peak of nod,ia,
but a war with France ; and the preparations
marches of troops through this capital and the rit:gl.
bourhood, give much occafion thereto.

Several battalions have already marched nut, err.'
the others will follow, asfoon as the Finland divifiti,
arrive. The regiments of thefe and the neighbour
ing provinces are replaced by the divitions comir.7,
from Courland and Livonia. The 'torte guards an.;
the noble guard are even faid to have received otdet
for marching. It is not yet known who will bast
the command in chief. Thefe preparations do net
feem to have any influence on the public incluar).
and the grand undertakings, which are contiuueci
without interruption.

CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 30.—The Roman Envoy
Count Iraetesav, has notified to the Porte, thc
fome thoufands of Ruffian troops were again alien.
MEd on the chore of the Black Sea, to embark tor
Corfu, on board of tranfports, in (even,' divtfi, r;
he hoped, therefore, that thofe (hips would meet u
protedion and affifiance if need:fluted to put int,
any port of the Turkith Empire. He further notified
to the Porte, that the Ruffian troops in the lonia:.
Minds were already become fo numerous, tl.at there
was not room fufficient for them, and the rein.
forcements now fending thither ; therefore he requed=
ted, in the name of his Government, that a part of
them might be placed in a Turkith province in that
vicinity, and it is pofitively afferted, that the Porte
has fully confented to it.
Meanwhile the Turkifh Government has received
intelligence that the number of Ruffian troops readu
for embarkation confifts of tz or 14,000 men ; and
provifion is already made for their maintenance, cot,.
fiderable fums having been remitted from St. Peterf
burgh to feveral merchants at Confiantinople for
that purpofc.
So many conferences having been held by the
Reis Effendi with the Ruffian and Englifh Envoys,
it is confidently thought that the triple alliance be-
tween thefe three Powers is renewed, and actually
confirmed.

CADIZ, AUG. 2.—Every thing it contradiflory in
the conduct of the Englifh cruizing before Cadiz.—
Admiral Coi.t.ittowoon, who has fucceeded Sir Joan
ORDR in the command of the Equadron, deviates
from all the meafures adopted by his predeceiror
towards neutrals, and he violates (till more openly all
the rights of neutrality.
The firft notice of Admiral Sir Joni; ORDE, dated
the ad January, tBos, had declared Cadiz in a Rate
of blockade, but he had perm Itzd Rifting veifels to
continue their occupation. By a fecond notice of
the z9th of Match, he permitted neutral yards,
having legal cargoes and neutral property, to enter
and depart uamolefted, from the ports of Cadiz and
St. Lucar.

llhefe authorities Qill left a certain latitude to com-
merce. Contraband of war was alone excepted, and
foon afterwards, when the blockade was interrupted
by the arrival of the French fquadron, which joined
that of Admiral Gravina at Cadiz, an entire free-
dom of communication was eftablithed.

A frail fquadron did not take its Ration before
Cadiz, till 58 days afterwards, under the orders of
Admiral COLLINGWOOD. This was a Econd block-
ade, commenced too long after the firft, to be con.
fidered as a continuation of it. Neutral veffels, which
had entered during the interval, could not be accufed
of having tranfgraTed the rults which prohibit their
entering places in a (late of blockade ; or Mould it be
fuppofed, contrary to all plaice, that they had in-
fringed them, they ought at lead, to have been judged
only by the hilt notice of Sir Jona Otos, who had.
peim:tted, on certain condition, the entrance and
departure of neutral veffels, the cargoes of which be-
longed to neutrals.
But Adrriral COLLINGWOOD has refilled to admit
any exception in their favour: he (tops, indifcrimi.
nately, on thtiir quitting the !Labour, all neutral
veil-els which entered it before be arrived ; becanfe,
at he aliens, they'entered it in violati;:o of the decla-
ration of blockade:
This bad faith has excited general diratisfatlion.
It is asked, whether the blockade ezitlect when there
was not a hoftile valet before the place ? and whether
its laws can be applied to neutrals who arrived there
during that interval ?
All conventions of armed neutrality, confider only
thole ports in a Rate of blockade, where there is an
evident danger of entering, from the difpofitions of
the power which attacks it, with tails fiationary,
and fufficiently near.
Even the Convention concluded Jane 18, 18ot,
between England and Ruffia. 'though it fanttions the
violation of feveral principles of maritime right, for
the maintenance of which Ruffia, which now gives
them up, armed twenty years ago ; this convention
recognifed as a a blockade only, filch as was attually
enforced by veffels ftationary and fufficiently near.
Thus, Admiral Cottamo wools, even fuppofing that
the laws of blockade were infringed, though there
was not a fingle vet el flationary, or crnifing off Ca-
diz, has invented a new violation of the right of
neutrals, with which the mat itime code of England
was not yet enriched : and, as injullice, infligated by
cupidity, knows fcarcely any bounds, he has se-
folved, in order to increafe the number of his prizes;
not to judge neutrals by the regulation of Admiral;
OREM, with which they were acquainted, and which
was rather left galling to their commerce ; but by a
-ew regulation, which they could not poflibly foreke,
and to which it was neceffary to give a retro-attivt
power, that it might include them. This new at( uf
injuftree, of which all the neutral Confuls have com-
plained to Admiral Cocciscwoon, has not checked
the entitle of his arbitrary proceedings. This c Meer,
undoubtedly imagines, that a new ufurpation cf tite
rights of neutrals will be fantlioned by his Gover ii-
nitnt, as worthy of entering into the fyltem of inva-
lion, purfued by England againft all the maritime
powers.
The principles of the Armed Neutrality were fo-
!empty proclaimed in t 7So. All the great Powers
rofe up at that period, in oppofition to the indefati-
gable amb.tion of a fingle one. Should they ever
fees themfelves infpircd with that energy which never
fails to fupervene after the !attitude of injuries ai,d
Attrages fullained, they wiil find thole principles in
the pages of hiltory in which they are preferved, and
will be faithfully traofmitted to that time, when the
patience of neutral nations (hall be ell:aufted, aesd.
they (hall firmly alert their rights.

Colonel HALLIBURTOM, it is faid, had come Op With

rt.irnuitE Sc INDIAN, and obtained a cnmplete vietory
r him. No very late accounts had been received
' from Bhurtpore, but it was rumoured, that HOLKAR
had abandoned the Bhurtpore Rajah, and that the
Lt!cris Vakeels were in General LA IteS camp.

We have received Dutch Papers to the 15th inn.
alfo fome more lets of French Journals. The latter
do not come down later than thofe formerly received,
;:lit we have been able to Idea from them fume ex-
Li Aas worthy of a perufal at the prefent

(ierday two Meffengers fet out from Lord
MvLGR%VE'S Office for the Courts of Vienna and
Peteriburgh. The difpatches they carry with them
arc believed to relate to the commencement of Mili-
tary operations on the Continent) and to the co-ope.
ration of a formidable Britifh force with the conti-
nental troops.

The numerous tranfports which have already failed
from Sheernefs for Tonnitigen, according to report
are to proceed to Peter burgh, in order to carry Ruf- I
flan troops to tome port neat the Elbe. Slibuld this
prove corree, Hanover may become the theatre of
war, in fpite of all that Pruilia and France can do to

prevent it.

It is reported in fome of the bell Informed circles, i
that a (hong diverfion will be made by a Britifh force'
on the French Coail, to prevent the Corfican from
fending all his forces to the German and Italian
fi °alias. Should he leave his coatis unguarded, the
:tivation which he threatened to others will be
hurled on himfelf, not, however, for the purpofe
of conqueft, but to deftroy that nell of (mall craft
which has fo well anfwered his purpofe in the crafty
game he has for fome time been playing, enabling
him to keep up large armies, under pretest of objets
ft,' which they were never intended.

It is rumoured that there was Come miilake in the
intelligence brought to Portfmouth by the Actsit.Les
of the junction of Sir R. CALDER with Admiral Cm,
LINCWOOD, off Cadiz, and that that event had not
tal,en place on the 26th of Auguft. We believe no
ori:cial Accounts have yet been received of the aElual
junction of there fleets, but no doubts ate entertained
of its having happened {portly after the time Mk
named.

It is at length determined on to inflitute ats enquiry
by Court Martial into the condu. of Admiral Sir
Roam!. CALDER at and fubfequent to the battle with
the Combined Fleet off Ferrol on the 22d of July.
We underßand that the principal evidence to be ad-
duced is from the log-books of the different chips that
were under Sir Roaster Cast:ma's command at the
above period.

The LORD CHANCELLOR, and the Airacer y and
SOLICITOR GENERAL, Lord CASTLEREAGH, and

Vice Admiral RAINIFR, juft arrived from an

extremely corpulent, that it is with difficulty he feeds
himfelf, and he fleeps always in an eafy chair instead
of reclining on a bed, to prever t fuffocation.

In tome letters by the Wallingham racket it i; po-
fitively Rated, that a very rapid interchange of dif.
patches has lately taken place between the Courts of

There is apolitical rumour afloat, to which a Mini-
