Colic, OCT.. 3. •

" On the if of 0/lober, ar nine A. M. fpoke
" an American [hip that had been boarded by the
" Thetis French frigate, in lat. 49. 40. long. i I.
" Saturday, 28th September, fell in with eight fail,
" and one Englilh 74 (s 6) in tow ; two French 16.
" gates and one brig, (leering N. W wind E. ;—the
" brig took an Engli(h brig in fight atm ; four Eng-
" la (hips in tow—eight Englith prizes in all."

Official intelligence has been received, that 20,000
Ruffians and 12,000 Swedes have aCtually arrived in
Swedifh Pomerania. An infpeaion of the map will
fatisfy our readers, that thefe troops may eafily find
their way out of Swedifh Pomerania into Hanover ;
and that the introduition of 70,000 or 80,000 snore
Swedes and Ruffians, by the fame route, cannot fail,
notwithhanding the reutrality of Pruffia, to confer
upon the allies a decifive afcendancy in the affairs and
arrangements of the whole North of Germany.
The Ruffian forces will not attempt to force a W-
age through any part of the dominions of Pruffia.—
His Pruffian Majefty engages to treat the French with
rigorous impartiality, as he treats the allies. He
engages to confine himfelf to a feparate neutrality.—
He afpires not to be the head of any grand armed
neutral alliance. He is already, in fa& fo furrounded
by the armies of the allies, that he cannot but be fairly
neutral, or enter openly and fully as a party in thewar.
Mr. DONALDSON, a messenger, who arrived yefter-
day morning from St.Peterfburgh, and the Mail from
Gottenburgh, have brought no other private intelli-
gence that is important.
Baron Jecoei, the Pruffian Ambaffador, attend.
ed on Monday at the Secretary of State's Office in
Downingßreet. If any inferencs could be fafely
drawn from the looks of politicians, we might au-
gur favourably for the caufe of the Allies,from the
chearfulnefs and fatisfaaion that feemed on this
occaflon to animate the countenance of the Repre
fentative of his Pruffian Majefty. This Mo-
narch, we underhand, has joined his army, confitling
of 300,000 men, in five divifions. The first, which
he will command in perfon, has atstually marched for
Brandenburgh on the frontiers of Pruffia. The fe-
cood, commanded by general MOLLENDOILF. has
marched for Shellefgarn. The 3d and sth, com.l
manded by Generals KILLERS UTH and Bo c HIM, have
marched for South Pruffia and Poland ; and the 4th
division, commanded by the Duke of Bauriswfcat
has marched for Mecklenburgh.
The Exchequer of Profile is reported• to be in a
very filurifhing date, fo that flue is alike provided
with the agents and the moving principle of warlike
operations. The attitude of the King, of Pruffitt iY
indeed molt formidable, and calculated to give aka
tidier to his mediation or shoftiliti.'Should he re-
main neutral, it will be in his power so be very fel.-
viceable to Europe, for in quality of Mediator, at
the termination of the war he can infill upon terms
from BONAPALI E, which: to
_an enemy, his pride
would not allow him to grant.
All the Danifh forces,lt is £&1, have received or.
ders to hold thcmfelves in readinds to march at aa
bout's notice. SweJilli troops, it is known, are alrea-
dy embarked at Catlfc:ona. A Ruffian army has
arrived in the Ifland of It ugen. English troops are tin-
der orders fel- embrlcalion in sin Downs—All thee

eircumflanees combined, Ind us to expeet at fern;
important operations ate about to be commenced,
in which the armies of the Powers we have
tioned will a& in concert. We think it probable,
that they will advance from Lubeck land Eta-
den, fur the liberation of Holland ; or that, if
they are to rendezvous in the Dlscns, they may be
dellined to at againfl the coatis of Franc.: or Spain.
Twenty-five thourand Swedes, the number laid to be
nipulated in the Treaty of Subfidy with England,
together with as many Ruffians, affated to be a&u.
ally d;fembarkei at Ragen, independent of ar,y forces
that may join them from England, and indepea.
dent of all alliftance from the Danes, which, how.
ever, there are bong rearcns to expel—there Plrces„
we fay, will flirt a powerful army to a& either for
the liberation of Holland, or for a diva lion on the
French or Spanith coatis.

We have received Paris Journals to the 2d and
Dutch to the 6th init. From the latter it appears,
that the halt of the Auftrians, which the French
papers have timed, and (till continue to reprefeut as
the effea of the mediation of Prutlia, 'ailed no more
than forty-eight hours. The troops, after this per•
haps neceifary roll, advanced by forced marcher through
Bavaria and Suabia. What puts an end to all the
pacific interferences of the French Journalifts is, that
this new order for the march of the troops was given
at the very time when the French troops were ergo:
the Rhine in three places. They have paired that
river at Mentz, at Manheim, and at Straiburgh,
and have continued their march into Germany.—
The hoftile armies thus.hourly approach each other,
'and nothing can prevent an important blow being
(truck immediately, unlefs it be the policy of the
Auflrian Generals, who would with of courfe for the
piefence of their Ruffian Auxiliaries. The Emperor
of Germany was on the atit ultimo at Munich, and
left that place on the 22d for Memmingen. It is
laid, and with probability, that the French will cm, .
mence their &ft operations on the Banks of the
Mei/17The.keench accounts-of the movements, and
numbers of their •armies,. fhould be regarded with
much diftruft: Though given as foreign news, each
article is diftorted at Paris, fo as to fuit the crooked
policy of the Ufurper. Of this there is a pregnant
inftance in a letter which bears the date of Franck,
fort, and which Hates the army of the Rhine alone to •
amount to 250,000 men !I !

tive of tans than the Monitsnr, but when it areas to
give opinions, it is merely an echo of the French Of*

FLOM THE DUTCH OFFICIAL JOURNAL.
HAUGE, OCTOBER 4.—While our paper was at
prefs, we received intelligence from Franckfort, to •
the 29th September ;
The 4uarian troop in their march through Sua-
bia and Bavaria made a halt, which, however, lalled
only forty-eight hours, and has been attended by no
confequence. On the 24th and 25th all The columns
were again put in motion by order of the Emperor,
and they arc now advancing by forced marches.
The Emperor himfelf left Vienna on the itith fur
the camp. On the afternoon of the 21ft he arrived at
Munich ; early on the following morning he departed
from thence, and was expeaed on the :3d at Mem-
mingen.

Betides eroding at Mentz, the French troops have
likewife paired the Rhine at Sirafburgh and Manheim.
A fele& column, confining of cavalry, infantry, and
artillery, commanded, it is laid, by Marlhal Leas
paired that river at Stralburgh. on the 25th. On

had advanced to Gemund and Carlfladt.
Some Officers from Generals BERNADOTTE and
MAR •lonr arrived at Wurtzburgh on the 26th, and
guar rs are preparing there for both there Com-
manders. .

Meanwhile hopes of peace are Dill cherillted in
Germany : they are founded on the frequent depar-
ture of couriers ;—on the continued reGdence and
apparent friendly condutt of the French Amhafiddor
at Vienna ;—and on the affurauce that the Emperor is
expeCted to return to hie capital within to or 14days.

ge Hanover is evacuated by the Frencheexcept a
few who remain at Hameln, which is now fortifying
more firongly than before, and is to be provifioned far
a long time. Pruffian troops are certainly coming to
Hanover, but it is yet a Tuition whether Hameln
will not be retained by the French. •
" It is generally believed in the Eleaorate. that
the grand expedition from England, is defined for
that Eleaorate. I hope it will be better employed."

The ALDICORt has arrived at Spithead to be doc-
ked, after an abfence of (even months on the Gaern-
fey nation, in confequence of being twice on !bore,
and getting the {hip's bottom fo much injured as to
prevent her failing. About ten days ago the recon-
noitered a little port, called Diletc, nearly oppofite
to jerfey, where was lying a flotilla confilling of fix
brigs, two tuggers, and two other (mall craft.
The Americans have made a formal and ferious
complaint againft the conduss of the Spaniards, in
taking and condemning their (hips contrary to all the
rights of neutr +1 nations, and have demanded an im-
mediate correction of the abufe. In the prefent (fate
of Europe they will no doubt fucceed in their demand.
The Kentifir Courier Rates, that in the Cafe of Tho-
mas Archer, a feaman, at Chatham, the Inquell gave
a verdid of " murder" generally, and not of " mur-
der againft Captain TEMPLE," as Rated in a forint'r
number of that paper. Captain Tastrcz is now in

Mrs. TEMPLE, the Authorefs of the new Novel of
Ferdinand Fitzormond, is a Lady well known in the
Fathionoble World, and has already diainguifhed
herfeif by a variety of Works, which have done ho-
nour to her talents, and which have evinced the,ntoft
intimate knowledge of modern life and manners;

The competitior for fame amougft the infant tribe
of theatrical adventurers produces much gratification
to the admirers of the drama, but the little Maris, by

a happy union of tragic with comic powers, bears away
the palm wherever the apptars ; apedation is at its
l'ighctt in Liverpool : her appearance there Is an-
nounced for the cniuing week.
On Saturday next the,celebrated Madame GaAs-
r leaves town for Winchester, where the is engaged
to difplay her extraordinary abilities ax the enfuing
Annual Hampfbire Feßival, on the iSth inßant.
This novelty of hearing her enchanting tones in the
Oratorios, together with the golden opportunity of
being gratified at a provincial Concert with the moil
admired airs from the excellent Operas of the lag
feafnn, mull prove a magnet, the attradion of which
few in Hants and the counties adjacent will be able
to refit. Winchefter is expetlted to be very full.
Lan Saturday, the Afgig Volunteers, a very fine
body of men, 1200 ftrong, commanded by Sir Geo.
Aitstyraae, marched into York, where they are to
do the duty. The ill Dragoons, lately ordered for
service, are to march from York immediately.

tants of Windfor, with whom they are great favon-
sites. This fine regiment is now moo Rrong.
'The Somerfet Militia are on their march from
Weymouth for Hull.
Extract of a letter from an Officer at Barhampoor,
dated May the 7th.—" It has been generally reported
that thofe Provinces have laboured under a fiarcity
for many months paft.—This is too qualified a term
for fuch a vifitation. Thole who have been witnefres
to its calamities can give it no fofter a name than that
of adual famine. The native Ch eftains have certainly
clifplayed mere feeling and benevolence than they
were ever known to do on a limilar occafion ; but it
his been inipoffible for the belt regulated policy com-
pletely to relieve fuch nniverfal diltrels. The Coffer-
r'of the lower calls have been great indeed. We
have very providentially received fome fupplies of
rice from Bengal, by Ore Elphinflone, the Zamorin
native trader, aad other fraall craft, together with
fome aid from Canara, where the crops have gene-
tally proved produdive. The duties on the impor-
tation of grain have been remitted. The Rajah of
Myfi re has rendered effential ferrite to the natives on
the fr.mtier, as has, likewife, the Nizarn. We re-
ciive daily accounts of the public dißrefs from
Poor.ah ; the native forces and the fubfidiary troops
raiii be fupplied, though at a (tort allowance; but
tl.e artificers and ryots (offer feverely. We have jut
received an account of the interception of a veffel
a:th grain, on the coati, by a French privateer, name
n known. This news has fpread a gloom over the
public countenance. The general dejeelion cannot
be removed, and the natives roufed to return to their
!r. hits of indultry, but by the fubjedion of HOLICMI,
and the restoration of tranquillity, to which they
Lek forward with the molt painful ainicti.".
