TllitritlMAY, OCTOBER 5.

'Raven Papers were received in town this af.
t..roosse.....Voni/ears of the 21th and 250, and
the Journal de rEmpire of the 25th ; but they
are wholly silent as to the optiatiuns on the
Danube.
The occupation of the island of Lessiie, in the
Cattegat, is contradicted in the last .Vonitear.
There is a report from Minister KILATIMIOIIry
the Commander of the Dutch troops in Seals, to
the Kiss of Hostaarn, of the Battle of Almo.
lucid, in which the numbers of the French arc
stated at 17,000, and those of the Spaniards at
32,000.
From Petersburg's it is announced, that the
English ay aadrun cruising before Revel have
taken possession of the little island of Narjen.
The harvest is particularly abundant on the
shores of the Baltic.
From Denmark a report has been receited of
the signature of Peace between Russia and
Sweden.

The King of WESTPHALIA has left Hanover.
The Palace of the Duke of CanattiUGL: had been
illuminated. .

There is no mention of the renewed Armistice
in the Illoniteur, which, howse•er, dues not
contain intelligence of so recent a date as the
GC/1113111 Papers.

'Gtftss.tx Papers, to the Ist idst. arrived in
London this moruieg. They announce the im-
portant intelli4euce, that " the Ar:oistice, whielt
4, expired trt the 20th of September, has been
66 pro!ongtd for one month, with the additional
44 stipulation, that hostilities are not to be re.
" commenced till six weeks after notice shall
‘' lure been given." Hostilities cannot therefore
Ise resumed before the 6th day of November.
From Stutgard, on the 23th of Sept. the r,•-
newal of the Armistice is reported to have b,...91
prolunged. But the Rotterdam 6uzette or the
30th of Sept. po,.itively states the parti,alars, in

the terms that we have mentioned. The fact

may therefore, we think, lin received with.
eMt doubt. Happily for aulfi•riug humanity,
. the renow.il of the war in Germany is 'tn.',
so Ca ren►orcd fru•n probability—that we may
ventore to Jismi,s our apprehensions fur the c‘vist
of a renewal of a contest—the result of which Ku
should anticipate to b.., the final extinction of the

Austrian Monarchy. The renewal of the A rsni.
slice, ait.l the continued protraction of the uitgo.
elation, induce us to indulge a hope, that theistic.
jity of the Austrian dominions may 'rat be pre.
errved, and that the price, which is nobs negociat.

TUE New Administration it still incomplete.—
It wa% expected that the whule batch would have
kissed hands yesterday, at his MAJESTY'S Levee ;
but Mr. rERCITAL was the only one admitted to
that h,snottr, iu consegnence of his appointment
to the high office of First Lord of the Trea..
sury. That Gentleman now sustains a weight
of official duties, beneath which,* man of ordinary
power: and capacity would speedl4 succumb. In
povirmion, Mr. I'EXCETAL at this moment com-
bines, in his own individual person, the various and
consistent offices of CRANCELLOR OF THE DUCUT
oe tvcArrot—and CLERK OF TUE MILLINGS
IN THE MINT--FIRiT. LORD OF TUE T.E.I.
SURY--GUANCELLOR OF TUE Excutourit.—
and CLERK OF THE IRONS IN TUE MINT. With
so many irons in the fire it will, perhaps, be
feared that some of them 'nay burn. In reversion,
Mr. PERCEYAL has secured the office of REGIS.
TRAIL OF TUE Mau COURT OF ADMIRALTY, at
present, held for life by his brother, Lord AUDEN
is really a most laudably provident method
of securing a few cheese parings and candle end:,
for a rising family. The office of Registrar,
during the continuance of war, almost equals the
revenue of a QuaE! !

To executefaiikfully and ably the sosullifariout
duties so courmeously taken upon himself, Mr.
PEACLV A L ought to have Ow eyes of Assays, the
arms of Hal AIM'S, the heads of CERIIIERUS, and
the mutable facility of PROTEUS. There are,
however, those who vies► this conglomeration of
office in the person of an individual, as more
nearly approaching to that matiy-headed monster,
the lIYDUA or--.

The other hiembers of the Administration are
nut yet with Certainty known—but Lord liaa.
Ilowsx. and Mr. K. Duivn.ts arc looked upon

A circular order bas fhtu issued from the Ad-
jutant-Gent:a-41N °dice, to the Gencr.il Officers
commanding the districts, hr. notifying the ap-
pointment of Lieutenant-Colonel Ton it ENS to the
,i4,ion of Military Secretary to the Cini.inander.
Crptain 'AIALING is appointed Assistant Secretary
to Colonci l'onaLms.

The following is an Extract of a letter from
Antwerp, dated Septeeiber (20:—
" I tike this opportunity of nuking you, in
• some degree, acquainted with our situation. now
could thlEnAlish, promise so much cad execute so
little? low could they lit out so noble aii
pedition to be so infamously conducted ? Aud,
alum all, how could they appoint such a Corn_
inalider in Chief as Lord Cu ? The Woo.
dens he 11.15 committed are obvious to the meanest
its military tactics.
' •• I imagine tivat the principal object of this"
Expedition was to destroy the !bet in the Scheldt.
The French themselves would have dorm this, and
by the command of Llum.tetatc, if the English
li id only possessed themselves of Fort Lillo, and
iliva:chtal 10,000 men to Antwerp. The order 11
(ruin the Emescoit for this purpose arrived on
thu 291 h of August, and every thing was pre.
Lpared to•put it in execution, should it be rendered
iscaessary, with the greatest velocity.
" The whole population of Flanders was averse
to the Frviieli Government, but while wolves re.
malt. among them they omit howl. They ex.
pected that the English would debark nut only
eat Welchem, but at the Hague, and the pro.
plc Isere prepared for it. They believed that
the conquest of Holland and the freedom of.
the Dutch would be attempted it. two direr.
lions at the same time, and that they should
be relieved from the heavy yoke by which
;bey are oppressed. Instead of being delivered
frOtp their chains, their fetters have been ri-
vett" After this most ridiculous armament, res.
pect has peccl converted into contempt, and the
people herd pre as much opposed to England and
to Englishmen, ifs they were before it in favour of
them.
" All your Expe4tions but one have corn..
plet•ly failed. That to Cunetthagen was the sin.
gle instance that suceceded. .'Yore of them, how-
ever, elided so miserably iiiiroftunato as the
present. Read but jhe contents the our Dutch
Papers, and you will find wonders 01' English

who planned the armament.—Twenty thousS‘td
men would hate been amply sufficient to have taken
Antwerp, and even the greater part of them
might haveteuiaincd inactive, as au army of eb-
servatiou.
" If they were unable to take Antwerp (but.
the reason they were unable we cannot device),
why did they not ripmeed against some other city—
