EXTRACTS FROM THE PARIS PAPERS.

Palls, SEPTEMBER 20.--ALIXANDER VOLTA,
the celebrated Profeffor of Experimental Philofo-
phy, in the Univerfity of Pavia, and• BRUGN A•
TELLI, Profeffor of Chemillry, intend to vifit this
capital, in order to confer with the French Pro.
felfors on various objects of Science, and particu-
larly the phenomena of the Metallic Pile, a dif-
covery which does fo much honour to VOLTA, and
is fu interelling to the Phyfico-Chemical Sciences.
Matstm.ss, SEPT. 9.—Three Englifh Flags of
Trucefrom Egypt with French prifoners, have at.
rived in this port. By another flag of truce which
arrived feveral days ago, we learn that feven of the
enemy's (hips of war and fume frigates have ap-
peared off Toulon. This day the centinels del-
cried the enemy's fleet in the EA.
BOULOGNE, SEPT. 15.—The Well-South-Well
gale, the precurfor of the Equinox, which drove
all the Englifh cruifers in:o the Downs, and ob.
liged our flotilla to return into port, was loon fol.
lowed by a North-Weft and North wind, very Mo-
derate, and calm weather. The Englilh, in con•
fequence of this change, have refumed their ulna'
nations, but our flotilla anticipated them by again
returning to occupy its poll as an advanced guard:
it has been reinforced by three new bomb veffels
of a large conflruCtion, and two others of equal
force are ready to jo'n them. The Englifh, tvko,
doubtlefs, did not expel our flotilla would thus
come out, have been cruifing for two days between
Point Grifner and Calais, to blockade the Jivifion
of gun-boats and gun-velfels in the latter, com-
manded by Captain MCYN F, as the wind is North,
and confequently prevents this divifion getting
out from Calais. The Commander of the English
cruifers, Captain Sum NERVI Lt.t, (brother of Lord
SOMMERVILLE, Prefident of the Board of Agri-
culture, at London), anchored yeflerday morn-
ing at the diflance of a league and a half from
our line, with two large (hips and a frigate,
which probably is the EOCENIE, and ten reffels of
inferior force. Lord NELSON is flillat Deal; and,
as appears, in alive correfpondence with Lord
ST. VINCENT, Full Lord of the Admiralty.--4fc-
aiteur.

VIEXNA, Stier. 2.—The reigning Prince Louis
de LICHTENSTEIN, while amufing himfelf in hunt-
ing, received a !hut above the eye : the wound,
however, it is fuppofed, will not prove mortal.
A fatal accident had like to have taken place at
the Theatre. The grand luftre fulpcnded over
the Pit fell clown, but the cylinder to which it was
fixed, luckily unrolled ital. fo !lowly, that the
fpzeiators in the Pit had time toget out of the way.
The luftre colt loco crowns.

SEPTEMBER s.—The dilbarding of the Red
DI Intles is one of thole operations which do the
!gr-,ateß honour to the military adminiftration.—
I Bzfides being bad fo:dtcrs, they difgraced the Aul
trian at my by frequent robberies and afttffnation.
At the commencement of the war they received a
or in for the head of every Frenchman that they
brought in to the advanced ports, but it was found
that there banditti ufed to cut off the heads of the
tadortunate peat:ants, wham they met with in the
fields, in order to obt tin the promiled reward.
Th are now fuppreffed. This corps was com-
poled in general of vagabonds, collected on the

frontiers of Seriria, Bofnia, and Wallachia t fothe
of diem had been releafed from irons.

" As the union of the kingdom of Great Britain
with Ireland has occafioned a change in the flag
of the Eledorate of HANOVER, which, however,
will continue to be of a red colour, but which will
contain in the firit quarter, the Crofs of the Union
of Great Britain and Ireland, and in the centre
on a fquare red field, a White Horfe on full gal-
lop ; all merchant and private fhips under the Ha-
noverian flag, and furnifhed with paffports from

Elated, that preliminaries of peace had been figned
between England and France.

Porto Ferrajo have written to our Sovereign, that

nounced it in form ; and that it is to him alone

Ruffian chip and three frigates, which it is Paid

French troops are expeled here. General
SouL r, fearing no doubt that the people will not
behold with a favourable eye this increafe of forces,

nance of thefe troops, and has made known to them
the pi ecife manner in which they are to be expended

HIS SARDINIAN MAJESTY is Rill in this capital,
and, at prefent, does not feem difpofed to scums

SINIGAGLIAp SEPT. t.—We teem to be eyery
moment threatened with a defcent on the part of
the Englifh. About a fortnight ago, thefe haugh
ty Iflanders appeared on the Weft of Fermo, with
a force confilling of thirteen (hips of the line ;
Tome days after a fkirmifh took place between two
veffels near Falconera. Since that time an Anglo- '
Turkifh fquadron, with the origin and dellination '
of which we are unacquainted, appeared off Ragu-
fa, and a great number of veffels of all fizes are daily
teen in the Adriatic. Preparationsof defence have
confequently been made on every point of the
coaft ; we ezpeet from Naples a French demi-bri-
gade, oft zoo men : it is commanded by General

Difpatches were yeilei day morning received at
the Admiralty from Admiral Cocio.vaeeis, dated
laft Sunday off Breit. The combined fqnadron in
the Outer Road had made no movement of im•
portance during the preceding week. The mailer
of a fmall coafting vclrel captured by one of our
lookout frigates, had communicated intelligence
that the Spanilh officers and fcamen at Brea were
very much difcontented at their fituation, and that
it was underilood they would not aft with the
French fleet, if even both fqoadrons had a favour.
able opportunity of putting to fea. It is very pro-
bable, indeed, that the Spaniards and the French
will not aft with perk& harmony ; and therefore
it may be believed : the accounts ffuch prifoners,
however, in general, mcrit very little credit.
The accounts hitherto publifhed of what has
paired at the meetings of the French Clergy are
Inaccurate. The dileufTion began laft Saturday,
and continued five hours. On Monday it was re-
newed. Several eloquent fpeeches were made on
both fides. There were f.ur in favour of acqui-
efcence in the Popes recommendation. There are'

EGYPT .—Extraft of a Letter from an Officer in
a man of war, dated Aboukir, NY 2 4
" For thde tall lix or feven months Afia and
Egypt have been my place of abode, and I am ab
moll dried up like an old thread paper; not that the
Ilation is by any means unpleafant, and ever, if
it were, I could not complain, it being of my own
eliding: there is abundance of pi-millions of ad
kinds, at leall all that warriors fhould require ;
and generally (peaking of the army, I believe I
may venture to fay, that troops on foreign Ratioa
never did live better. A buffalo, or very large
kind of bullock, is fold by the Arabs for two,
three or four pounds fterling ; a tolerably good
Cheep (even (billing and lixpence; five or fix fowl*
for half a crown; and eggs fix and (even hundred
for five fhillings; coffee and fugar are fomewhat
dear. Among the reit of purchafes and cutiofi-
ties, I intend to buy me a wife; they are brought
herein panniers from Corfica, flung acrofs a horfe
cr camel, in the manner you mar have teen calves
in Ell'ex, and at a moderate price—tor example,
on our firll coming here, they were purchAfed at
the (mall price of ten !billings per head; but there
were fome to be fold, of a fuperior quality—how-
ever extraordinary this may appear in London, is

tant price; and this place alfo has fome other in-
conveniencies--the camp being feared or, a dcfart
of tome extent, where there is nothing green td
relieve the eye, occations very violent inflamma-
tions of them, and often blindnets ; it is a com-
mon difeafe in the country at this period, and but
few efcape. From this malady the troops have
Coffered more confiderably than any other, and
I have teen camps in far more advantageous litua-
toms lets healthy ; but this feafon has been very

perienced two years ago ; neverthelefs Come thin,-
