FRENCH AND DUTCH JOURNALS.

We have received the former to the 3d init. and the
Litter to the 7th, from which we have given extrath
of every thing worthy of being tranfcribcd.
The Emperor of Ruffle continued at the Court of
Berlin on the z9th of lait month, dostelitated almoft
with the Royal Family. Nothing is Paid about his
departure from the lituMan capital. His Imperial
Majeity appears to live on terms of the molt perfeft
intimacy and cordiality with his Royal Brother oE
Pruffia. _ _

_
The Pruffian armies are rapidly affembling in
Lower Saxony and Franconia. Some Regiments in
the latter country have abandoned the territory of
Anfpach, and taken a concentred potation from Ba-
tenth to Egra, on the confines of Bohemia. This
precaution might not have been unneceffary. 80.
a•UARTE would hefitate as little for the fake of
“ feeding his revenge," or grafping Tome temporary
advantage, to attack the Prnffians, if they flood in
his way, as he did in forcing a palfage through the
Margraviate of Anfpach.
The Pruffian army, affembling in Weflphalia, is
daily approaching nearer to the borders of Holland.
The head quarters are expelled to be immediate!'
eltabli flied in the city of Munger, within three days
march of the province of Guelderland.
Letters from Milan of the 27th ult. (late, that the
French had fucceeded in obtaining poffeffion of Vi-
cenza, and that the Auftrians were every where flying
before them. This intelligence is not entitled to
much credit. It is already known that the French
had eflabliflted themfelves on the left fide of the
bridge of Verona, on the 18th ult. had they fince
obtained any important advantages, we are perfuad•
ed all Europe would have heard of them before nnw.
Admiral LACRO3SE has given an official detail of
the late attempt to deftroy one of the gun boats at
Boulogne. The Admiral is not famed, however, for
accurate flatementr.—French Funds 6of. soc.

Lord As, x &nose GORDON art ived by exprefs fro:n
Scotland at Gurdon's Hotel, on hjs way to Deal, to
embark with his Regiment, the coldfircam Guards;
his Lorelfhip has not been long returned from the

Mediterranean.
We have received New York papers to the 4th
ult. We regret to fay, that the yellow fever conti-
nued to rage in that city with great malignity. The
number of new cafes of fever, reported on the itt
ult. was 15, and nine deaths ; on the zd, 15 new
cafes, and eight deaths ; and on the 3d, 25 new cafei
and 14 deaths. It appears, therefore, that the vio-
lence of the fever was unfortunately increafing. A
great number of the inhabitants had removed from
the city. One death by malignant fever had al)
taken place at Boilon.
We have been favoured with a Barbadoes Gazette
of the 2la of September, from which we have made
fome Extraets. We are lorry to find that an incur-
reCtion had broken one in the Surinam Colony caps
of Black Yagers. They are laid to have murdered
Tome of their officers in a (hocking manner. A pprc•
henfions are entertained of the insurgents joining the

them, and General HUGHES was about to go 13
perfon.
The Marquis of WIILLTSLEY has made prepara•
lions for his departure from India. His Lordfh;l)
was to have embarked in the month of F.:bruary salt
on board the St. Fiorenzo ft igate ; the (fate o.
fairs in the north of Hindonan, however, induced his
Lordlhip to delay his departure, and the St. Fioren•
zo left Calcutta, giving cenvay to ihe homeward•
bound fleet, in the end of March lilt. When the
'reignmonth left the Hong!), River it was under Rood
that the Howe frigate, Captain COCKBURN, was un-
der orders to accommodate the Noble Marquis, ani
that his Lordfhip• would embark in the month of
Anguft, 1805.

ACTION CFP CAPE TRAPiILGAR.

Farther authentic particulars relative to the glori-
ous Aftion of the zld of Of'ober :

For fotne days prior to the failing of the Com.
Lined Fleet, Lord NILSON had eflablithed a chain of
communication (through the medium igaCes, and
other armed se(fels), which extended from Cadiz to
the fleet under his coustramd, cruizing out of light
of Cadiz, the better to allure the enemy to lea. The
Piottz fchouner being a fats fader, wa► ilationed the
inaore thip, and obferwsd tlas enemy, on the 19th of
eaobcr, to lease the harbour, two and three at a
time.

ream the excellent arrangement which had been
trilde, Lord Na'Amu was apprifed of the important
event within three hours of their being at fea, and had
(tacklnt time to confult his Officers on the plan of
n'ta:k. Ike. The moment that the Commander in
Chief heard that the enemy confided of 33 fail of the

upon it, we (hail capture so of them at teal" No.
thlnieould equal the joy of Lord flst.soe, when on
the eve of battle, notwithlianding the thong pre•
fen'timentsbe felt, that he &odd loft his life in it.
When the French (hip Achille blew up in the
*Won, the FITE La fehooner and uncommon exertion
in picking up the men, and feceeeded in getting Cafe
on board one hundred and fists, of the crew, who
were put below, and offered every accommodation.
The gratitude of Use Frenchmen, however, brim
nears kept pace with the humanity of our brave
tars ; very few of them feemed grateful for their.
lives, or acknowledged the kindnefs and attention
fhn-n to them. Scarcely were they left by them.

capturing the fchooner ; but being overheard by an
Officer, he fattened down the hatches, and by that

mar!: (and, perhafs, a timilar in(lance never occur•
red in the liitiory of naval combats), th.tt after the
gallant crew of the TEMERAIRE had carried the two
!hips oppofed to her, they turned the enemy's guns
to a good account during the remainder of the Reim.
If there needed a proof how much Lord Nst.sos
was adored by the whole fleet, a thong one is afford-
ed in the condo& of a fearnan belonging to the Vic-
roar, whilfi under the hands of the Surgeon, Coffer-
ing the amputation of an arra. ss Well," Paid he,
46 this by fume would be conlidered a Misfortune, but
flrall be proud of it, as I refemble the more
our brave Commander in Chief." Before the ope-
ration was finithed, tidii.gs were brought below that
Lord PNtxson. was fhett the man, who had never
shrunk from the pain he had endured, flailed from
his feat, and exclaimed, " Good Goo! I would ra•
ther the (hot had taken off nay head, and (pared his
life V'

The firft ciaeft!on Lord NELSON put to }tic Sur.
&eon, after the fatal occurrence, was, " whether his
wound was mortal or not r' Seeing the Surgeon
befitate, his Lordlhip Paid, •• Why then,. I will tell
you it is! Do you not recoiled fon* time ago,
when We were talking of wounds, that you told me
of a fhot a man received in his breaft, which you
declared was mortal ? I feel that I am precifely in
the fttuation of that man ; but Con's will be done.
It it had pleafed the ALMIGHTY, I fhould have pre-
ferred dying on 13ritifh ground." This truly great
man refigned his lafl breath, praifing the gallant con.
dud of Admiral Cow NGWOOD. His Lordfhip's body
was placed in fpirits prior to the failing of the Pict Ls
fchooner.

Many of the officers and fcamen, who have been
in feveral naval aaions, fay, they were afloniffied at

The malls and rigging fell over the fides of the ene-
my's (hips with fuch rapidity, that it appeared more

have been produced by the force of a cannonade in

When Captain Beata, of the Pnotatx, arrived
yetterday at the Admiralty with the duplicates of 3ir
It. STRACHATI'S difpatches, be was not aware that
the news had been before communicated. IL.: men-
tioned his information, therefore, as fomething new
and peculiar to hitnfelf. Hence, it was under-flood
2t fill to relate to a ficand engagement, viEtot y, or
capture ; and a report was Nattily propagated, that
four, five, or fix other (hips of the line, betides thofe
mentioned in the Extraordimay Gazctts of yellerday
morning, had been, about the fame time, taken from
t:-.e enemy. This report fpread with rapidity through
parts of the town ; and a fermi Gaasivra, with
en account of a 'bird vhflory, was impatiently expec-
ted and asked for. We have explained the origin
d the Inifialce.

All ranks and defcriptions of Britifh fitbieets will
he ;;;•ati:icti to learn, that a Viaorinus Column, or
nme otter Mcnumental Strature, is likely to be boon
crcaed to the memory of their beloved Naval Chief-
tain, the heroic Lord NELSON.
The PRINCN of %%raw, after the fink emotions of
his forrow, fur the lots of that excellent and gallant
Officer, whom be had long difiingniated by his confi-
dence and eiteem, directed a letter to be written to
Mr. A.xastsrats, in which his Royal Highnefs ex-
preffed a confident hope, that from the ardent zeal
which Mr. A. and his patriotic coadjutors had mani-
felled on all great national occafions, fome public
Memorial would arife, tinder their aufFices, of which
the high achievements of Lord NELSON might be
clort!,iy recorded to after ages. His Royal High-
refs ct..ncluded by requelling, that to any plan which
1,1A21d be thus prnpofed, and adopted, his name
night be added, with the fuer of Five Hundred'
