Lail night we received Paris Journals to the iris

The Monlieur of the Toth mentions the loft of an
Englifh frigate on les Bceufs, a rock near Noirmoutier,
and that the crew were all faved. except so men. The
frigate alluded to is, we believe, the Shannon, the
loft of which we fome time !ince fated, and the
whole of the crew of which, we believe, were raved.

The Dutch papers which reached us yeflerday an-
flounced, that the defign which had been entertained
to pat the &king hookers, &c. in requifition for
tranfporting the troops, had been given up. Some
Dutch papers of a previous date, which have reached
us, explain the reafon. The owners had been applied

the branches of Dutch Commerce, when put in the

more to hope from the kat, which appears now to
be fitting in, than from any confiderations aftuating

Some of the Dutch Papers which have attired
come down to the 24th ult. Letters from Italy in
theft Journals Rate, that the Etrurian Court has
been occupied of late in oppofing, at Madrid and
Paris, the conduit of the French Cornmiairy Ge-

who, in Ipite of the remonarances of the Etru•
rian Minifter at Parma, has announced for tale all
the Allodial Property which belonged to the late
Duke, and which ought to faU to the reigning Q2cen.

The Queen of ETRURIA is expeCted to take a
journey &only to Parma and Placentia.
Epiftolary eorrefpondence is now become Whim-,
