Einte our laft we have received Paris Journals to
the roth, Dutch to the 17th, and the Harelter:h Car.
reffrendew of the gth, from which we have given in
our preceding columns, every thing worthy of notice.
.luft as this Paper was going to prefs we received
Paris Journals to the t sth inlLant. They prefent the
following articles :
Paul, May to.—The diplomatic relations between
France and Turkey will be fuon eftablilbed on the
old footing. The Ottoman Porte, after having ac-
knowledged the prefent titles of the Emperor of
France, has appointed a new Ambaffador, and the
French Emperor, followlng this example, has ap-
pointed a new Ambaffador to Conllantinople. His
Majelly has named as focceffor to Marfbal Bayles, the
General of Divifion, Ss BASTIAN t, fo well known from
the travels he made in the Levant after the peace of
Amiens.

Mar t French frigate, the Topsze, which
was at Lithos, after having efeaped the vigilance of
the two Englifh frigates which blockaded her there,

the Top= took and burnt three Englifh veffila--113
prifoners were the fruits of there captures.
Basis, May 4.—The merchants of Babe, whofe
goods were fequetlrated at Neufchatel, allembled
immediately after the hqueltratinn, and drew up a
Petition, which, after being iigned by the Landam-
man, was tranfmitted to Paris to be delivered to the
Emperor and King. This Petition was very ill re.
ceived.

A Courier arrived at Bafle foon afterwards, with
letters ftom Talleyrand. Their contents are not of.
ficially known, but we know that they demanded the
immediate arreft and punifhment of the Petitioners.
The arreft was immediately put in execution, and
the decree ilued for the arreft of
Meffrs. C.hrillophe Bourcard, du Fofre; Bourcard,
du Seegerbof ; Freres Merian ; Coufins Marian :

the Stathalter Gydfenorfer. They were afterwards
yet at liberty, on finding bail, but with an order to
Confine thesoftives to their own honfes.

day, but the proceedings are not to be publifhed until
the Peers fhall have given their decifion, which it is
type led they will do on Wednefday fe'nnight.

Copy of a Letter from Vice Admiral Lord Collingwood, Com-
mander in Chief of his Ma;eity's Ships and Vdfels in the Me-

jetty's Ship Queen, off Cadiz, April 19th, 1806.
Sir—l have am tatistsetioa to acquaint you, for the Lords
Commitiloners of the Admiralty, that his Majefty's Chip the Re•
nominee, Captain Sir Thanes Livingßone, (one of the Ones Ra-
tioned off Carthagena, for the purpafe of watching the enemy's
iquadron,) on the 4th infirm, captured the Span& brig of war
the Vigilante; for the particulars of which, I refer you, Sir, to
the kidded copy of Captain Sir Thomas Livingflooe's letter. I
am, at. (Signed) coLuticwoon.
His Majefty's Ship Renommee. at Anchor, Europa
Point, W. N. W. One Mile, April s, 1806.
My Lord—l ioformed your Lordthip by the Nau
TILT'S; that on the third inftant, two Spanith (hips
of the line, a frigate and brig, same out of the port
of Carthagena, having under their protection a few
(mall coatters, and that the (hips of the line and fri.
gate chaced us to the Southward, while the brig and
convoy 'leered along (bore to the Wettward, the
wind being North Latterly. Finding that the Re.
Norma had left the Spanith (hips a great ditto.=
a.tlern, I made fail as loon as it was dark for Cape de
Gate, in the hope of cutting off the brig, and is this
I was not difappointed, for at two A. M. an the 4th
jam, we Caw the brig anchor under fort Calleretes,
diftaut from it about two cables length. I was pre-
vented by baffling winds, from getting up to her for
three quarters of an hour, but when we did get up,
ber fire was loon filenced, and the was in our poffef-
fion at half pall three : the batteries on the (Dore be-
gan to fire as loon as we were within reach, and
continued doing it till we were out of their range.—
There were two gun boats with the brig that fired a
few (hot at firft, but they Coon ceafed, and I believe
ran on the beach. The brig was in the aft of warp-
ing on fhore when we commenced firing, but fortu-
nately we cut the warp, and thereby prevented her
getting on (bore. lam happy to fay in this affair we
fultained little or no damage, and had only two mcn
wounded. The brig proved to be the Vigilante, be-
longing to his Catholic Majefty, commanded by
DR NATIO DON JOSITM lotus mounting
eighteen guns, viz. twelve a-pounders, long guns,
and fie 24-pounders, (hotter, with a crew of to 9
men, and is well calculated for his Majefty's fervice.
She had one man killed and three wounded in the
fray; her maininatt went overboard loon after we
took polfeffinn ; and the foremaft was nearly sharing
the fame fate, I therefore took her in tow, and bore
up for this anchorage, where I arrived this day ; and
I was the more induced to take this meafure, as, upon
our appearance off Cape de Gam, all the Beacons
towards Carthagena were fired, and I did not know
how near the !hips which had chaced us the day be-
fore might be, I hope therefore your Lordthip will
approve of my having fo done. I have reafon to be
well fatisfied with my officers and crew on this °tea-
; their Ready and well.diredted fire did them
great credit. As foon as the prifoners are landed,
&c. I mall return to my Ration. I have the honour
to be, &c. (Signed) Tao. Livittosroas.
Copy of a Letter from Commodore Sir Home Popham to William
Madden Efq. dated en board his Majcity's Ship Diadem, Table
Bay, March 4, iBo6.
Sir—l beg you will do me the honour to inform
my Lords Commiffioners of the Admiralty, that, at
nine this morning, a (hip was difcovered coming from
the fouthward under a prefs of fail, and loon after,
two more ; one of which the Station on the Lion's
Rump reported to be of the line, and an enemy's
(hip, upon which I diretted the Damson and LEDA
to Clip, and keep on the edge of the South Latter,
which had partially let in on the eaft fide of the bay.
At eleven the headmoft (hip hoilled French colours,
and Rood towards the DIADEM ; and, by this time,
I was fatisfied from the judicious manoeuvres of the
(hips in the offing, that they could be no other than
the RAisotAsLit and the NAILCISS U 4. At twelve the
French frigate paired within hail of the Dtansra,
when we changed our colours from Dutch to Engiith,
and directed her to ftrike, which the very properly
did immediately, and I fent the Honourable Captain
Potter, who was (crying with me as a volunteer, to
take poffeffion of her. She proved to be la Vo!on.
taire ; is nearly eleven hundred tons, and mounts 46
guns, with a complement of 360 men on boa d. I
' congratulate their Lordlhips that, by this ca ture,
hundred and feventeen men. who

twoof the Queen's and 34th regiments,
were taken in two trantports in the Bay of Bikay,
