FROM THE FRENCH AND DUTCH PAPERS.

HAGUE, AUG. 24.—Some diftempers prevail in
our expedition at the Texel, which are a confequence
of the confined air on board the (hips, and of the
crowded Mate of the men. Of the sOOO horfes em-
barked, numbers have died. _ _ _

fucceeds General Maaransr in the command Of the
French troops in this Republic, has eftablithed his
head quarters at Utrecht.
ROTTE&DAbI, Sari, 2.—The Paris letters to the
29th of Auguk. contain nothing new whatever.—
The s per Cent. Confolides, with the Germinal divi-
dend, were at 6o fr. to cents.
LAYDEU, Sarr. r.—The Paris letters contain no-
thing concerning the Combined Fleet ; but in a letter
from Cadiz, dated the 9th initant, it is Rated that
the fquadrons at that port and at Carthagena, have
formed a junetion with the Combined French and
Spanifh fleet, and that their whole force now confab
of 44 fail of the line, befides frigates and (mailer
veffels.

They write from Copenhagen, the 24th

Admiralty, the Ruffian fleet, which is erpeeed
confining of about twenty large and (mall fhips,

refume his Ration as Envoy.
lisstauaciu, Atm 27.—We are informe4 that the
Englith garrifon at Malta confilts at prefent of more
than t z,OOO men, and it is thought that a part of
them may be dedined for other objeas. A confider-
able body of Ruffians were at Odeffa, ready for em-
barkation.

nufieur Novostwrzorr, on his return to Peterl
burgh from Berlin, was favoured with a private au-
dience of the Emperor ALIWIDEat and attended a
Grand Council of War, at which were prefent, be-
fides the different Miniters of State, Generals Buz.
MOEVDRN, MICHMILSEPI, and VON ng*. Theft
three Generals will, it is fuppofed, have the com-
mand of three feparate armies. There was likewife
prefen: at the Council an Hanoverian General, who
has for fome time pall refided at St. Peterfburgh.-.-
From this cireumftance it was inferred, that the deli-
verance of the Electorate of Hanover will be the firft
operation of the Ruffian army on entering Germany.
All the Regiments in garrifon at St. Peterfburgh had
received orders from the War Department to make
every neceffary preparation for a fpeedy march. -A
letter from a molt refpeetable hook at Riga, has,
fineelaft poll day, been publiciy handed about in this
city, Rating that the total of the Ruffian force which
has received orders to hold half in readinefs to march
amounts to zBo,ooo men ; and that the Ruffian vef-
fels ready to yet fail to jo.n the fleet now in the Baltic
amount to ten Ilups of ihe line, making altoge-
ther twenty three fail of the line. A confiderable
body of troops is ready to embat k at Odefili for the
Black Sea. A fecund div finis alfo ordered to pre.
pare for the fame deflinatiun, under the command of
General Toesrov.
VasNNA, Avo. to.—The Aultrian army which Is
affembling at Budweifs, in Bohemia, will be called
the Army of Obfervation of the Empire. It will be
commanded by the Archduke Citaitt.ss. The army
affembled near Lir.tz, is in fuch a pofition as will
admit of its being fent either to Italy or Germany,
as circnmflances may require. At Pettau will be an
Army of Referve for Italy ; but the principal Army
of Referve will be formed near Hinkendorf. It
may then ferve in cafe of ocean), either in Italy or
in Germany. There are no longer any troops in
Gallicia.
Deputies from Switzerland have arrived here in
confequence of attemp's now going on to bring about
the union of Switzerland to France, The S Nils will
be forced to entreat Niteen.zon to take them under
his puiffant proteftion. Could this be called a volun-
tary union ? But the good Swifs, except thofe who are
always on the fide of- France, have no with for fuch
a meafure.
Auourr t 7.—A great part of Switzerland leeks
the protection of Aufiria ; but the Deputies who
have been fent here for this pnrpofe, have nut yet re-
ceived any anfwer.
Both General Svearcu and General Watssin-
wot.r have been fent into Gallicia to guide the march:
of the Ruffian troops.
The Elector of Bavaria has received from hence in
all 65,000 mut-vets.
It is notorious that the French pretend that M. M.
Plonk and COSTANZO had no 6)01 but literary cu-
rinfity in their journey to Venice ; and they have
made reprifals upon Atiftrian travellers at Paris.—
But the French Ambaffador here has been told that
fuch reprifals could not be allowed unlefs they could
convia Aufirian fobjelts of having attest as fpies,
fince in time of peace it is not permitted to take
plans of fortifications, the depth of canals, and things
of that nature.
Amidit preparations for war, there are Rill hopes
of peace. It was Paid that BON APAILTE had yielded;
but this is not believed, as it is not agreeable to his
character to yield ; and affairs are fo entangled that
it would be difficult for him to give way. It is more
generally thought that he will rifk every thing. If
hollilities do not commence this year, they will cer-
tainly begin in the fpring. For this reafon the troops
are all marched into Lower Aullria.
Auo. 11.—We learn, with the molt lively alarms,
that Government has given orders for marching a
body of about ts,ooo men through the Electorate of
Salzburg, and to form a junction with the troops en
' the Tyrol. This body is compolcd of the Reiter,
