FRENCH JOURNALS.

We have received French papers to the 19th jai.
Some of the fubjoined articles eztraaed from there
journals feem at firft view to confirm the intelligence
received by the Hamburgh Mail, of the Ruffians
having evacuated Cattaro, but on examining them it
will be found that they are merely a tran(lation from
the German papers of the very articles which we
have before given from the fame journals. They
are not accompanied with any comment in the Me
shear, nor does any thing official on the fubjeft ap-
pear in that paper. The intelligence, therefore,
though it may prove corral, flill teas exaaly on the
fame ground it did before, and we are yet without
any official information on the fubjed.
The Moniteur of the 18th is chiefly filled with the
proceedings of the Legiflative Body, and contains
nothing interefling.

PROM THE MCNITPUR or THE 17TH MAY.
VIENNA. May 5.—A1l the difficulties which had
occurred between France and Aufbia, relative to
the occupation of the Doccha di Cattaro, are now ie-
lnoved ; the Court of St. Peteriburgh having ordered
that it ffiould be given up to the French army, con-
formably to the Treaty of Prefburgh.
MAY 7.—The Arnbidrador from the Sublime Porte
to the Emperor Napoleon arrived yellerclay in our
Capital, and will refume his journey for Paris on the
gth inliant.
Raousa, APRIL ti.—The Ruffian General Sini•
avin, during his flay at Cattaro, folicited the iuhabi•
tants to certify in writing that it was themfelves who
had invited the Ruffians. The Greek', as might be'
expelled, complied, but the Catholics refilled. From
the condue of this General we might be led to ima-
gine that what is done in the Black Sea and the Adri-
atic, is done without the knowledge of the Cabinet of
St. Peterfburgh, and that it is a meafure of the Rulian
Agents themfelves, who, as well in negocia6on as
in military enterpriles, take advantage of the diflance
they may be from the feat of Government to ad ac•
Cording to caprice.

PROM THE JOURNAL DI L'EMPIRE, MAY IS.

CONSTANTINOPLE. APRIL 7.—lt is reported that

which appeals certain, that his Majetty die. Emperor

The following a a may be implicitly relied upon,
and can if necciftry be attelled by every officer and
man on board Sir J..irro W 'a fquadrun: When
the Engl•fh Ft rce under that Gallant Officer had put
into St. Jay.. Alter the captut e of the Marengo and
the Bell, Pou.e, Admiral Li s•ii s requelled Sir Joww'►
permiCfior, to affunble the French Officers, for the

purpo(ehe an Irnpiriai itfiet, which
he had by him for tome time, and which Materially
affetted his and their interefts. The Englifts Ad-
miral having accordingly talented to this demand,
with all that urbanity and politenefs which dillin-
guith him, the French Officers were got together,
to the number of nearly feventy, when the intlru-
ment in gneflion was read to them by Admiral
lartiots. It began by reciting, that h;s Imperial
Majefly, Boma AAAAA having had ferious caufe of
chagrin and difpleafure at the repeated cheeks and
difafters his Naval Force had hitherto experienced
in the contcft with England, was determined that it
fhould undergo a thorough reform. Then, after
many regulations for the better ordering and con-
dotting his Navy in time of !today with other
Powers, and for the excitement of his Sailors to
heroic deeds, it concluded by Rating, 0 at, in fa.
lure, all Officers of his Navy, who were captured
by the Enemy, fhf.uld be, from that moment, re-
duced to one fourth of their aelual pay. " And
you, Gentlemen, therefore," continued LINO'S, "with
myfelf, are hereby fo reduced, and mull MI, as
well as we can, with the little that remains !" It is
not in words to dcfcribe the agitation and murmur
which fucceeded this communication. Execrations,
deep not loud," were poured out againll the unfeel-
ing Tyrant who could thus coolly refolve on embit-
tering the hours of captivity, by reducing at a Ilroke
nearly two-thirds of their whole number to lefs than
nine pence a day, and who mull thenceforward de-
pend upon the charity of an enemy for bare fubfif-
tenet ! Will this abominable proceeding, when it (ball
be known in France, be tolerated ? Will any gallant
fpirit again fight under the flag of fuch a cold blood-
ed ceconomill ? All further comment is unneceffary.
The fad, we repeat, is Rriflly true; and we (ball
only add, what we can fay with pride, that Englith
generofity has already been applied to alleviate the
calamity of there unfortunate Gentlemen, not brought
upon them for a derelielion of duty or principle, but
for bravely fighting in the caufe of a Defpot ! ! !

PruMins took poffeffion of that country. The party
flopped at Rumford, on Friday lafi, upon their way

one of the calks, but he was detected in the ad, and
lodged in the Barracks.
