Yalerday, fome time :;r- our Paper had been of
prefs, the Ham/v.::8:, Mail, du: on Sunday ha, ar.
rived with I.::_ers from flamburgh to the :6th ult
and French news to the 18th.

By this Mail we have very little more information
refpeaing the intended invafion, and nothing is Paid
which can give any idea of the pet iod when it is itt-
tended to be carried into execution. On the 14th
ult. the Minifler at War left Paris to infpea the dif-
ferent camps in the Netherlands, and on the eaftern
part of the French ccraft. It was expelled that he
would be followed by the Minitter of Foreign Af-
fairs; and this was confidered as a prelude to
the departure of the CHIEF CONSUL himfelf.—
The preparations continue to be mentioned in a
tone of exultation and confidence, and lime of the
Bruffcls Journals fay, that if the French effed a
landing in this country, the red flag will be difplAyed,
and a proclamation iffued,that no gnat ter will be given.

Prince DOLOORUCKY is.mentioned as the fucceffur
Cf the Count MARKOFF, in the charaCter of Ambaf•
fader from Rufria to the French Government.

The molt important article is from Conilantinople,
dated the xoth of September, which fates that Egypt
is now entirely in the poffeffion of the Beys. Alex
andria was forced to furrender after repeated attempts
to form it by the infurgents. The Turkifh Govern •
ment entertains Prong fuipicions that the lots of
Egypt has been occafioned, not merely by the difaf-
fdlion of the Beys, but by the intigues of a foreign
power. To what power does the Porte impute the
blame on this occafion ? We know from unqueftion•
able documents that France carried on intrigues in
Egypt ; but is France the power alluded to ? We
apprehend it poffible, that the French may have ftic-
ceeded in infufing jealoufies into the minds of the
Turkifh Government, in making it believe, that Eng-
land is at the bottom of this affair. Be this as it
may, this event has excited the uturoft fenfation at
Confantinople, and it has been formally notified to
the Corp Diplomatigue. It is added, that Ruffia
takes a very lively intereß in the fate of Egypt.

The Hamburgh Paper quotes from a Paris Jour-
nal, a paragraph, Rating, that in confequence of the
application of Ruffia the neutrality both of Spain and
Portugal will be refpeeted by France. This is in con
tradiftion to the preceding account, that Spain had
wholly acceded to the demands of France.
By Accounts from Dover, brought to that Port
by a Neutral Veil-el which arrived there on Sunday
night, and which left Calais the fame morning, after
having failed from Flailing a few days before, we
learn, that the Troops in the Mind of Walcheren
amount to ao,ooo, of which t a,OOO are French and
the refl Dutch. A Frigate and eight Schooners are
Rationed at Flufbing, where there are alfo eight or
ten Schuyts fitted nut as gun.veffell, each carrying
two four-pounders; four more Schuyts are on the
Rocks, the building of which is however at prefent
fufpl:nded for want of ffiip-wrights. The inhabitants,
as might be expcsed, complain bitterly of the diftrefs
brought on them by their good Allies the French.
The molt aria precautions are adopted at Calais for
thepurpofe of preventing any information froth reach-
ing this Country of the preparations carrying on there.

Captain COODALL, who has for Come time been
pritoner in France, arrived in town on Monday,
baring made his efcape by fwimming acrofs the
Rhine. He was thirty days on hi, way firm Paris to
England ; during which time he experienced fuch dif-
ficulties as could only have been overcome by a man
poireiling great firmnefs and refolution. Among his
fellow.priners at Epinal, at which he arrived on the
t3th of September, and from which he effetled his
&ape, were the following: The gallant Captain
Baawrori, of the MINSRVI, frigate, taken at Cher-
bourg; Lieutenants Fr ?HIP L, FITZGERALD, WAL-
?OLP, and BeLL, of the Marines, the Surgeon and

Mr. JOLLY, of Guernfey. Captain Blocs, of the
fltip Adventure, was fent to Chartres. _ .

A private letter from Vienna, dated Oftober 12,
given in a Morning Paper, contains the following
fingular piece of intelligence. The Emperor of Rut-
' sia has propofed to the Emperor of GERMANY and
the King of PRUSSIA to relinquilh the provinces
allotted to them by the lall partition of Poland,
and to reftore a hereditary Monarch in that coun-
try, nn condition that France evacuates Italy, Ha-
nover, Swifterland, and Holland, reflores Piedmont
to its lawful Sovereign, and divides between him
and the King of Era Ultl• the Italian Republic, and
of renouncing its prefen► frontiers by a firm drawl.
from Landau, including tiat city, with Luxembourg
and Macftricht, making them and the river Meufe the
boundaries of the French R. public, and reftoring to
the German Empire all its former territory between
this line and the Rhine. To induce BoaAPARTI
to make thefe concellions, Louis XVIII. is to be
chofen King of POLAND, and the throne declared he-
reditary in the Bova sots family, as an indemnity for
their rights to the throne of France, renounced in
favour of Bo AAAAA v r slid hislamily. As we do not
pretend to be acquainted with the ferrets of the courts
