GERMAAr.

HAMM/AGM, SEPT. 27.—The Auflrian camp at
Mullendorff was to begin forming on the loth init.
and it is generally believed, that the Ruffian Grand
Duke Cows-raw-nal will be prefent at the manoeu-
vres The Ruffian Count Tasssitow had reached
Vienna, charged with a very important million from
the Emperor ALFNANDEL to the Autirian Cabinet.
The French, according to advices from Hanover,
of the 16th moll, were preparing to make great ad-
ditions to the works of the fortrefs of Hammeln and
Fort St. George. Thefe works are to be completed
with the sitmoit (peed, and near too 3 workmen have
been put in requifition for this purpole. To judge
from this uncommon precipitation, it would teem as
if the French were afraid of not being left much
longer in the undiflurbed poffeflion of the Eleetorate.
Fort St. George and Hammeln have been fupplied
with a year's provifions. The Eleelor of He& Car-
fel has atThally advanced to the States of Hanover a
loan of 5,000,000 rix dollars, and his Highnefs's
Agent, Mont: HAHN, is now in that country to fettle
the conditions for a fecond loan, which will, it is raid,
amount to z,000,000 of riz dollars.
The fugar refiners of this city are quite at a Rand,
as no coal is to be had. Its price now is eighteen
marks, about twenty-fix fhillings per ton, meafure of
this place. The fame quantity could formerly be
had for about five or fix fhillings.
The Commercial agents of Harburgh lately un-
dertook to pals a vail quantity of Britith goods
through Hanover to the Leipzig fair, on the owner's
paying one per cent. premium. The goods, how-
ever, to a very confiderable amount, have been feiz-
rd by the French, and confifcated.
Accounts from Semlin bring particulars of a moll
dreadful infurreftion and civil war in Bofnia, and all
other Turkifh provinces in Europe.
One of the captured French privateers has made
her efcape ; the crew having rifen upon the Englifh
by night, in a gale of wind. She now lies off Wil-
helmfburgb, on this fide the river. The French
Captain, previoufly to her failing from Harburgh,
had affured the French General FRIAR, who com-
.

muds in that place, that he lhould pals by the Eng-
lifb unperceived, and get into the North Sea. The
French had built this veltel in the docks ncar Ham.
burgh ; but when they were going to !rig her, the
Senate iffued a prohibition, and the owners were
forced to take her away to Harburgh.
A vail quantity of Britint goods, belonging to.dif-
ferent merchants in this place, have again been rela-
ted at Harburgh by the French.

OCTOBER 5.
DAY AT ONE O'CLOCR •

By a perfon who arrived in London yeflerday
morning from Paris, we have been favoured with
rouse information on which the public may rely,
The Perfon alluded to, left Paris only a few days
ago, and proceeded to Calais to look for an oppor-
tunity of paffing over to this country. He arrived
there at the time of our late bombardment, and
therefore made a very !hurt flay. From Calais he
took the route to Flufhing, and thence to Rot-
terdam, where he was fo fortunate as to get on
board a neutral velTel.

The impreffion produced by our bombardment of
Calais was, he rays, of a very different kind from
what we have fees in the Maximo, refpeßing the ef-
fat of our attack on Dieppe and Granville. Inftead
of making light of it, the inhabitants of Calais were
filled with confternation, and Tome of them remark.
ed, if an attack from fo fmall a number of the
Engliffi veffels, and of fuch *comparatively fmall Rae,
was fo dreadful, what had their fea.ports to cape&
when the Englifh thoold believe the French prepara-
tions in fufficient forwardnefs to demand a tenons
attack, with fuch a force as they could at any time
fend to deßroy them
The war is by no means fo popular in France as
the journals endeavour to reprefent it. Every perfon
there knows that the profs is in complete fetters, and
that they need look for nothing in their papers but
what the Government chutes to communicate. When
they read of the extent of their preparations and pre-
tended fucceffes at fez, they only shrug up their
boulders and pats the paper to another. In private
circles, where they think themfelves not under the
eyes of Government (pies, of whom there are an im-
amate manlier in Paris, they (peak out with loud
execrations of the war and the author of it, and
call it a pbilofophical plan to fatten the fiflt in the
Rraits of Dover with the bodies of French-men 1

In one word, the Fres". Coast:B. is execrated by
the people in general, but they confider themfelves as
completely at his mercy as the Dutch, the Swifs, or
the Hanoveriass, cod, therefore, at the pretest mo-
ment. without any remedy ; and the only fatisfaelion
they exprefs, when they hear of their armies occupy.
kg new territorities, is, that others will be fleeced as
swell as themfelves for their rapport.

But however much the FIIST Cousin. and the
myrmidons which (most him, may be decried by

the people at large, he has at the prefeat moment
immenfe power, and the very millions that hate him
arc obliged to obey. He has very different ideas re-
fpediug the diredion of the phyfical Ilrength of a
country from many others, Of this we nerd only
give a well known inftance: When applied to by one
of the Irilh rebels to fend a French force to that
country, he frankly told him he could not then fpare
a fufficient number to (land againfl the numbers
which England could fend to that Country.—
" But fhould they fend ever fo many," replied the
rebel, a it will not avail them—the foldiers are difaf.
fedled to the Government."—" But can they fend
them," Paid the Fitly CONSUL?"—a They certainly
can," laid the other, a but they will not fight."—
The anfwer of Bomarears fhews his true charader.
" If they can but fend them, they mull-fight.—The
greater part of the force, with which I obtained my
chief vidories in Italy, were confcripts, fent to me in
chains like criminals."

He ads at the prefent moment on the fame fy Rem
—" Let me only find the means to fend a fufficient
number of men to England—they muR then fight."
And though he and his plans are detefted by the
French people in general, thefe very people muff do
what he commands them, and it becomes us to be
as alive and determined. as if there was but one
mind in France for the conqueß of our country.

Indeed we are allured that Government has re-
ceived information not only that the General Officers ,
have reached the coati, as mentioned in the IA Path
journals, but that the preparations are in loch a (tate
of forwardnefs, as to leave no doubt of the defperate
attempt being made in the courfe of the prefent
month. The embarkation of the troops was to com- 1
mence on the aft init. and this bound's, it was hip.
pofed, would occupy sor 6 days. The expedition,
formed into feveral divifions, is to fail chiefly from
Dunkirk, Oltend, and the ports of Holland ; and
the principal landing wiU be attempted on the
Elfex and Norfolk coatis. Such is the fubaance of
the information received by Minilters, who have,
in confequence, adopted every praBicable means of
&nitrating the objeft of the enemy, and turning the
daring attempt to the deftruaion of the invaders.—
In every department does a becoming degree of vi-
gilance prevail, and in no direltion is any thing left
to chance. Along the whole line of our fouthern and
eafteru costa', a (hong military force has been diem-
bled ; all the Regular and Militia Forces are under
orders to march at the Ilona notice ;—and feveral
of the Volunteer Corps have already been ordered on
altual duty. Alarm polls and fire beacons have every
where been eltabliffied: and the military arrange-
ments are Inch, that, in the courfe of eight and forty
hours, fifty thoufand men can be colle&ed on any part
of the min.—an army of itfelf fufficient to encoun-
ter and defeat a far greater force, than the enemy,
in the prefent vigilant Ilate of our Navy, can yea-
fonably be expeCted .to throw upon our fhores.
As a 11111 further precaution, waggons are ordered
to be provided and kept in conaant readinefs in
the principal towns along the coati, for the purport
of conveying into the interior of the country, the
the women, and childen ; and every article capable
of rendering the flighteft fervice to the enemy is to be
inftantly dearoyed, in cafe of a landing being effeeed.
Government thus appear to have taken every Rep
which wifdom and prudence could dietate ; and the
eager exertions of the people will not fail o gi►e due
efficacy to all their plans. They are fenfible of the
bleffings they peculiarly poffefs, and by their valour
will prove themfelves worthy of fo enviable an inhe
ritance.—Englifhmen of the loweft claffes enjoy pri-
vileges of the high& diainetion, and will furrender
them only with their lives. They know that the
charms of domeftic life, the endearments of friend-
(hip, and every thing that can render life valuable,
would not furvive the fubjugation of their country
by the implacable foe of human happinefs. In the
common caufe, therefore, are all defcriptions become
united and firm. All party diainaions are banilbed,
and the only emulative principle that now prevails, is
the defire of being molt forward in the Infliaion of
that jolt vengeance which the perfidy of an enemy
who would dcaroy us has fo greatly provoked.

By the Englifh (hip Mangles, Capt. Rasp, which
left the Cape of Good Hope the end of June laft, we'
have received newfpapers publinted by authority in
that Settlement down to the :sth June, which com-
pletely give the lie to the official paragraph in the
Mortimer, refpefting the fquadron of Admiral Limo's.
This fquadron, confining of the Marengo line of
battle (hip, commanded by Captain de ',ARV' l'A
talante frigate; Capt. Gummi, and la Semillante
frigate, Captain MOTTAID, arrived the 7th and Bth
May in Simon's Bay, having about 13o° troops on
board, for the gairifon of Pondicherry, for which
place they failed nn the 27th of the fame month. If
this iquadron Osould have made no longer flay at the
Mauritius than it did at the Cape, it vial in all pro-
bability fall an eafy prey to our cruisers in the In-
dian Seas; fot in this cafe Admiral Limoes could
not have heard of the war. On the 27th of June, a
whole month after this fquadron left the Cape, they
had not then the lean idea of a war. 'We extra& a
few articles from the raid papers :

• " Cape Town, 14ti May, 1103.
" On the 7th and Bth of this month arrived in Si.
moo's Bay a French tquactroa, commanded by Ad-
miral Liam.

0, The French General Dtscassus arrived here
on the evening of the loth, with his (like. and a
number t* French Officers, and the following day
the ComoWary General of the Batavian Government
gave them a grand dinner, on which occafion he
drank to the fuccefs of the French Government and
her Fitil Conful, with a falute of at guns. The
f Arne evening arrived the French General Van DM
MAIM ; both of whom received the compliments
of the Garrifon.

" Ma 21.—Yefterday General DESCHAMPS, Ac-
companied by his Officers, and elcorted by a detach.
ment of dragoons, took his departure for Simon's
Bay, on which occafion he was fainted from the
Cattle with 21 guns.
" We forgot to mention that the French General
Dacasii, a few days before his departure, dined with
the Ailing Governor, de Sat.'s. On the 16th the
faid Governor, accompanied by his Secretary and
other Officers, dined on board the Admiral's (hip in
Falfe Bay, where he was received with the politenefs
and refped peculiar to the French nation and due to
his charafter.

" Just B.—From letters, bearing date the ;al of
May, we learn the fsfe arrival of the Governor-Ge-
neral at Algoa Bay, where he found that GAIICA, the
King of the Gaffers, was engaged in a war with the
Chiefs of the rebel Cafers on this fide the Great Fit
River ; that this King bad espreffed a with to bold a
conference with tLe Governcr•General, for which pur-
pofe the time and place had already been appointed.
" The sth of this month arrived in Simon's Bay,
the French brig la Marie Francoife, Captain Ls-
souacm. from Bra for Pondicherry, with provifions,
and has on board the following paffengers--Bat c M a a,
Under Commiffary of Marine ; LiMiTH, ditto; Du-
vs sst us, ditto; Cason, Chef de Loge dans l'lnde ;
Madame LAMITM LANOTTI, Commis de )a Ma-
rine, with f 1 others on the eftablillunent of Pon-
dicherry. The fame day arrived the French cor•
vette l'Etat le Balier from Brett for Pondicherry,
laden with provifious. She failed the following day."
By private letters from the Cape we learn, that the
Colony is rapidly declining into a Rate likely to be
more deplorable even than when it fell into the hands
of the Englint. The troops are conliantly (hewing a
difpofition to mutiny, on account of their little pay
and (bort allowances, which they were told would be
at leaf( equal to thofe given tdthe Engli(• garrifon.
The Government is alto greatly in arrears, and has
neither money nor credit. Bankruptcies arc daily
happening ; and there is fuch a total ((agitation to all
trade, and fuch a fudden slepreffion in price to all ar-
ticles of produce, that thofe who (hewed themfelves
moR obnoxious to the Britillt Government are now
loudly calling out for the return of the Engli(6.—
Thole African Dutchmen it teems, although they
have no great love for Englifb nurse, have at leaß
Come confederation for Englift awry. What a for.
tunate moment would the prefent bt both for this
country and for the Colony, fhould an Englifh fqua-
dron appear before the Cape ! The whole garrifon
confißs in about aOOO, men, and theft moßly difgated
and 'clifsffelled ; and when the Mangles left the Cape,
there was not a fingle (hip of war of any defcription,
either in Table or Simon's Bay, nor is it probable
that our (hips in the Indian Seas would fuller the cof-
fee fquadroa of Dutch (hips of• • war. under Ad-
miral Deem, to pats the Straits of Sunda. It is
Purely worth the attention of our Government to fe-
cure thi poffelPon of fo important a Ration to our
trade and poffefflons in the EaR Indies.
