varre, was in want of arms and ammunition—he

where English vessels waited for him. He received
600 firelocks and some thousand cartridges, and im-
mediately resumed his route through the mountains.
General Caffarclli, infVormed of his movements, mar-

ched against him a detachment commanded by Co-
lonel Lanebere. Mina was surprised at day-break

crime, thy- undermentioned :—Amon Francois moo-
optier ; Therese I'ons ; Magdeleine Pons, sister of
Genis and Pierre Pons ; and Marianne Floretta, ser-
vant of Blouquier

*ere present at the execution of the condemned.

NAVAL MANOEUVRING.
Tot7l.oN, SEPT. s.—The English squadron quitted
the ancliorage of Hyeres on the 29th ult. It consists
of 16 sail of the line and three frigates, which coml.'
'rue to cruise before Toulon. On the 2d instant a
division of that squadron neared the shore, with the
view of intercepting a convoy from the westward.—
3.7ice-Admiral Emcriau made the Ajax, Danube, and
Ulm put to sea t they soon protected the convoy, and
got it safe into port.—On the 3d the Vice-Admiral
put to sea himself, with eight sail of the line and some
frigates, which forced the light squadron of the ene-
my to make sail ; ours passed the day in executing
divers manoeuvres, and protecting the navigation of
the coast.

BOULOSSE, SEPT. 9.—Sixty or eighty of the flotil-
la, amongst which are several with 21-pounders, ma-
reenvre continually before our port, under the orders
of Rear-Admiral Baste. There was yesterday an
exchange of shot between one of our praams and some
of the enemy's corvettes.
SEPT. 2.—Yesterday at 8 a. in. the
signal stations having descried a ship cf the line and
a frigate, the Courageux and Polonais ships of the
line, and the frigate Iphigenie, set sail to chive then)
cf. Read-Admiral 'l'roude having, chased the enemy
for six leagues, and despairing of coming up with him,
gave over the (base, and returned to port, alter mak-
ing divers evolutions. The enemy immediately imi-
tated his manctuvi es, and was neatly within cannon-
shot of our ships, when the Rear-Admiral pet about,
and set all the sail he could to come up vt ith him.—
The enemy not willing to lose the advantage of the
weather gage, and wishing to draw our division more
out, also put about and set all sail, firing continual
broadsides, which brriught up a fresh division, con-
sisting of a ship of the line, a three-decker, two fri-
gates, and a cutter. The new division reanceuvred
to cut off our ships. There being no longer any equa-
lity, Rear-Admiral roude gave up the chace, and
made sail back. He returned at four o'clock, being
only 1200 toises distance from the enemy. To-day
the enemy is in sight with the same force, and our
division is about to set sail, in order to manoeuvre in
their presence.
PARIS, SEPT. 15.—The Midshipman Jourdan, COM.
mending a division of six gun-boats destined for Cher-
bourg, gives an account that on the 6:h he had a half
hour's engagement with an English corvette off'
Havre. The corvette having fallen back urn some
vessels, the gun-boats continued their voyage, but
without making much way, on account of the calm.
Toe next day this small division was chased by a
frigate, and retired into the bay of Aromanches. The
hate having neared the bay, these was s team

(cannonade of in hour and a halt The enemy theni
sheered off. The nett day the two frigates and cur•
vette returned to the charge, and engaged at half
cannon shot for four hours. One of the frigates struck
the ground in tacking, and received for a quarter of
an hour the fire of six gun-boats on her poop. As
soon as she got off, the whole division sheered off.—
This little atfair, in which the enemy were roughly
handled, would have done no injury to the division
of French gnn-hosts, had not a cannon burst, and
wounded five men.

The following article of intelligence, ezhibited this
morning at LLOYD'S Coffee-house, removes every
doubt, if there had been any doubt remaining, that
the reported action between the MELAMPUS and P1:1-
UDEN T frigates was altogether erroneous :
HALIFAX, Auousr 30.--The EMULOUS sloop of
war has brought in the Addle French privateer,
which she captured near Charleston. The MELANI-
pus frigate, and the RATTLER sloop of war, sailed
the 24th inst. with Sir GEORGE PRLYOST, and suite,
for Quebec.

This day a Mail arrived from Anhoit,and brought
the following articles of intelligence :

VIENNA, AUGUST 19.

Letters from the frontiers of Turkey announce,
that the people in Moldavia and Wallachia are ex-
tremely discontented with the late destruction of the
fortress of Ruchhuck, because that place, with a
trifling garrison, covers Wallachia from all invasion
on the part of the Tut ks, and places the Russian
army in a situation to profit by events to extend them-
selves again upon the southern banks of the Danube.

The demolition of the works of Rudshuck was
elThcted with so mitzb precipitation, that ft part of the
ramparts still remain, and the Turks may reconstruct
them without much difficulty ; they have already
begun to rebuild the works of Silistria, without meet-
ing with any opposition on the part of the Russians,
who occupy the opposite bank of the river.

The Russian accounts make mention of great move.
men:s by the Turks, between Bessarabia and Karina,
the end of which is not understood.

There is a very numerous Turkish camp in the en-
Ivirons of Vadas. The Banks of the Danube are
loc-
cupied but by 'ytirkish detachments, who are busily
occupied in establishing batteries at different points.
Gener.:l Kutusow is at present at Bucharest, where
several branches of his headquarters are establishel
The arrival of provisions and forage for the Russian
army suffers some difficulties ; they are in part ob-
tained by requisitions, which are imposed upon the
inhabitants.
