A later from jerfey, dated the iBth inftant, fags
-84 All is alarm here, and our force is very confi-
derable ; the following is a emelt ftatement :

It is certain that the inhabitants of Granville have
defaced their houfes for the adjacent villages, and
that the former are occupied by Republican croups

ed in erreeling batteries. They have in the Souih
Pier one national tugger with a broad pendant ; and
three privateers. In the North Pier, no vetlels of
force. but tight merchantmen ; but they are com-
pleting nine gun boats. Ft iday fe'nnight fourteen
gun-boats from Granville eluded the vigilance of our
entice's, and got rare into Cherbourg.
flume Boa AAAAA E.—All the reports of the re.
turn of brother JEROME to Europe are certainly un-
founded. We have lien a letter from a Gentleman
at Philadelphia, dated the 3el infletrt, which Rates,
that he then lodged at the fame inn (the Isugoe to
with him ; and that futons purposed nwpainiag ia
America till the meeting of Congrefs.

A letter from Frankfort, which Come time ago ap-
peared in the Masiteur,alludes to a number of rumours
which have prevailed on the fubjeli of the mediation of
Ruffia and Pruffia betwixt this country and France.
From having found their way into the French of
journal, they derive a pot tion of intereft which they
would not othet wife pail's. It is Sated that the
project of a new treaty of peace, founded on the bafisof
the 'teary of Amiens, had been prefented by the melt-
ating powers. According to this proje, Malta was to
be placed on the fame footing as before the year t 70.
with this difference, that no Frenchman nor Enghlh.
nuns Ibould be a member of the Order. A Neapolitan
garrifon was henceforth allvap to occupy the island,
to confilt of not Ida than four, nor more than fix
thoufand troops. Thole propofitions. it is laid, were
out rejeCted on the part of France. A declaration V/As,
however,made that an indemnity would be demand.dl
of England for all the loffes experienced fence the di-
cta:auxin of holtilities. Intimation was at the fame
time given. that poffeffion would be kept of the Elec•
torate of Hanover till there loffes were made good.
While thefe propolitions were brought forward at Pa
ris, negotiations of a Gmilar kind were going forward
at London. On the part of our Ministers, the medi-
ation of Ruffia and Proffia was by no means rejedcd,
but it was added that England could not enter on any
regular negotiations till sr was laid down as a certain
balis that the fliould obtain an iflaad in the Mediter
raneau where a fleet might always be kept in fafety.
and feeurity might be obtained againft the future de.
lips of France on any part of the Ottoman Empire.
and more particularly Egypt. It was further demaul-
ed that France (hould restore all the turns of money
drawn from the Eletiorate of Hanover up to the very
day of the lignature of the treaty of Peace ; that the
EltSorate flsould be then given up to his Mararrv,
nod that its neutrality in all wars in which the Ger.
manic Empire was not implicated, fhould be folernnly
regarded. Such is the fubflance of the letter. which
was copied into the Matimsr, accompanied by force
remarks calculated to thew that the demands on the
part of thia country are inadiniffible. In there re-
marks there is nothing either of novelty or intent!.
There are other letters, whier freak in cafe the me
diation proves unfuecefsful. of the renews.l of a con-
federation betwiat the principal fovereigns of Ger.
many. This is quite a Gale report. mad is brought
forward with a• ocw circusnitartees.
