greed on the attack and conquef of Turkey,
and persn;!iion or conn;vanee has been proyai-
fed for the march of French Troops through
Moravia and Gallicia to effect their project of
ambition. The pretended caufe, however, of
the departure Of the Auftrian AmbafIador from
Peterfburgh, is the fefnfal on the part of the
Emperor Alexander to comply with the con-
tents of Note or Remembrance againft the re-
cent occupancy by the Rufiian forces of Corfu
and other places in the Mediterranean, and the
formidable reinforcements which are conftant-
ly arriving there"
1t has long been obvious to every one, that
Bonaparte has been u!ing his utmoit efforts to
alarm the Cabinet of Auftria with refpeet to
the intentions of Rufiia. We have little doubt
ofhis efforts having been crowned with filccefs.
The plumber of Turkey has been the bait which
he has been holding out--and appearances
feem tojuRifyus in fufpeding that it has been
more rvil,ed at the Court of Vienna than at
the Court OF Peteriburgh.
We are forty n find that the approximations
of an infections diforder having broken out at
Leghorn continue. The neishbourng States
feen TO he taking precautions agaipf it. The
diorder is nearly extinct at Malaga. At Ca
dig it fill ragedon the goth of laft month.

LIVERPOOL, November %.
We were favored yeferday with letters from
Rotterdam to the nth init. They give mott
melancholy accounts oe the nliferics fuffered by
the inhabitants of the Batavian republic. One
Of them fays, &c Annexed you have copy of
Emperor Napoleon's order for conflicting all
Hritiil property. It is impofiible to defcribe
che conformation this arbitrary decree has oc-
caGoned, nor can human fagacity appreciate the
diarclss that are likelyto follow meafure 70
irnpclitic, 10 pregnant with difrefs, and 70 de-
rogatory to the iutereft oil theie once flourfhing
provinces. For nine years paf we have borne
the mott enormous ex7etions; our wealth and
our iutluitry have furniIhed abundant reiources
for our mercileis conquerors during that period,
whit commerce, which ufed formerly TO be
eserciicd here with umeftrained freedom, has
experienced privation and reitraint, under the
moi ridiculous pretexts. AT no period of our
humiliation has ditrefs been 20 apparent as at
the prefent moment /: the DEGREES of tie Di-
Iectory were executed with perfect Ienity COM
pared with what we now experience the info
ieriee of the military is intolerable and tie mi
ferry of Holland is complete"
No foreign mail had arrived Mt Il late hour
laft night ; but fome particulars of interct are
communicated in private accounts from the
II gue, which reach to the ] 5th inf. Van order
is ffated to have been iued for the further poit-
ponernent of Bonaparte's coronation to the 9th
oe fan. The reafon aligned for this new delay
is the exhauaed Rate of the public tresfnry I;
and the want of money is Represented to be 70
sr6at, that it has been found impoifible to diff
charge the arrears due to the creditors of the
ton, who have not received the dividends of
Sept. 1908, while the pay ofihc armysof En-
gland has been withheld for the laft qaarter.-
We doubt much the correctness of this intelli-
eence.--The finances IF the French Nsspre are
t1nqaeSienaSiy withost order and ilictsod bat
the revenues are very comfortable, and all du-
ties and inpofts are levied with great rigour.
As Bonaparte poGeGes fupreme confroul over
the receipts, we can carceIy fuppofe him in
want of the fums rsquihte to defray the expen-
ces of his coronation.
Be this as it may, it is confidently afTerted
that Gen. Marmont, at AmAerdam, and Gen.
Roufeau, at Rotterdam, have had feveral con-
ferenceS with the principal Bankers and Mer-
chants in thofet cities. The Gh;et af tthiefG.
conferences has been to obtain A loan of ten
millions Of florins at Amferdam, and five MILL
ons of forms at Rotterdam; for which Bona
parte engages TO recall his brigade of Cultom-
houfe Officers from the Batavian Republic, and
TO allow the commercial intercourse with Eng
land, through the medium of neutrals, as fince
the beginning of the prcfent war. For thefe
fums amounting 10 nearly l,4oo,oool. Bona
p7rte offers AS pledge, the fver mines, the falt
works, and the Electoral places, domains, and
foycfo Of Hanover with IN interef of fix per
cent. Schimnelpenniuck was on the point of
leaving the Hague for Anferdan, in order to
promote the fuccefs of the negotiation.
Should It be finally agreed TO, we cannot con-
ceive how the Dutch can fupply 70 large FUN,
iince we know that the deficit in latt years bud
get ofthe BataVian Republic is not lefs than SO
millions of forms, about three millions fterling.
A report prevailed at Rotterdam, that the
jargon of the new French calender is to be abo-
Iiibed and the Gregorian fyftem reftored on the
1T of January.

The mon recent,dfpatches refpe6ing this inn
portant fubjed are thofe received from admi-
raj Cochrane, commanding the fquadron of
Ferro, announcing that Mr.. Frere, our Charge
d'Affaires at the court Of Madrid, had informed
him by letter, " that he had obtained his paT-
ports TO leave Madrid, on the 10th inh." The
