The designs of the' French to take possession oi h,iiia,-)Recin to have been frustrated by the ap- pearance ot 3: British squadron oil that island. Accounts front Leghorn state, that frequent ar- rests were made in Italy by the French officers; and even executions take place by order of the lni- litary commissions. These transactions occasion great disquietude in the public mind. Letters tram Vienna mention, that on tne 4th uit., the French AmbassadorChampagriy present- ed to the Vice-Chancellor of the Lmpire, an offi- cial note, announcing the discovery of the conspi- racy against the iile of the First Consul. This note, it is said, 'ends with these expVessidn«- The First.Consul'is perauadSd that his 'Imperial Majes- ty will learn, with pleasure, the discovery of"a plot,- having for its object the restoration of anarchy, and the subversion c-f all' the "treaties nw So happily subsisting." The same letters add, that the rial at Paris has had it in charge to con- gratulate the FirstvConsuI, in the Emperor's name, on the discovery of the plot. ■ A letter from Hamburgh, of March 23, says— "General Laborie, Moreau's con-fidenhat friend, has fortunately i-i-iale his and passed, it is supposed, throughSuabia, Without his apprehen- sion, very little can, it is said, be done-agaitist Mo- re.au." A letter from Amsterdam states the arrest of the English Colonel Williams, who commanded the flotilla, on the Lake of Constance, last war, at Deif- jtyi^in, Groningen, on his return from London to Vienna, at the desire of the French General Mar- mont; but he was Soon after liberated on the de- mand of the Austrian Envoy, C.EYLON.—In addition to the gratifying intelli- gence (aw-'Vineedin, our last paper) from the East- Indies, we are happy to state that our affairs in Ceylon have taken such a. favourable turn, that even if the expedition which sailed from the Cape of Good liope, supposed for the purpose of coope- rating with Linois in an attack upon Ceylon, be reaHy destined for that settlement:, there is rea- son to believe it wiii be u-nsucxessivil,—It appears by the official dispatches; that the Candians, fiush- ed with the success which they had obtained by means of treachery at Candy,, were, encouraged to make an attempt upon the important post ol'llang- gwelie; the attack was made on the 6th of Septem- ber, by the King in person, at the head of a nume- rous army, but "after an action of two hours, they were defeated with great slaughter. The royal standard was taken, besides severaL pIeces of can- non, a number of muskets, and a large quantity ot ammunition. The'King of Candy Bed as soon as the action commenced, but his indignation it this com- pleat defeat was so-great, that he caused two of his principal Ministers and a great number erf other persons to be immediately put to death. The con- sequence otthis victory was, that the enemy were very soon driven fromevery part of the Kritisft pos- sessions, and a number of and Lascars, who iad beenmade prsoners at Candy, were liberated. Two detachments under Cajjts.Poiloek anclBuchán, o then entered the Caridian territories, and on "the 12th of September again defeated the Candians at Organda, and, afterwards retook possession of Row- anelle, a large and populous town, in which they faunei considerable magazines'- of provisions, be- sides artillery, ammunition &rc. The King's palace and IKK. houses were burnt. Oui'loss in these dif- ferent actions was of, IV men wounded. We sincerely hope these successes' "will be the means of restoring tranquillity. Mew-York papers to the 2'!d February have reached town. They confirm theaccountotNoaities, the late French Commander, at Cape McoLt Mole, being killed in capturing the English privateer, Hazard, as stated some time ago. The English Captain, Wilson, was also killed. A letter trom New York, dated Feb. 11,says, "It is rumoured that our Government, finding the boundaries of the Louisiana cession are undefined by the late treaty, have retained six millions of the purchase •money, as a security for the equitable ad- justment of this important point. It is on this sub- ject that Mr. Harvey proceeds to France." The Antelope,Commodore Sir Sidney Smith, an- chored in Yarmouth Roads, on Tuesday evening. Irish Loan.—Notice was yesterday given to such persons as are likely to offer for the Irish loan, that Mi. Corry would be ready to see them this day at twelve o'clock.—Stocks fell a.bout 5-8ths per cent. inconsequence. The discussions in the House of Commons are shortly expected to become very important. Mr. Fox, we understand, has written letters circular to all those politically attached to him, requesting their attendance. FuiDAY, April 6. Advices were yesterday received, importing that the French Government had applied to the Senate of IIambufgh, to Ltibec, and the Hans Towns, re- questing that all Frenchmen who attempted to ob- tain a passage for the'British dominions, should be put under arrest. The same advices state, that the several Governments to whom this application had been made, had complied with the request. A letter from Mall a, dated January M,says:— Ke.v-Admira;! S:r Richard Bickerton, sailed from hence a iew days since in the Kent,.of 7-i- guns, to join Lord Ndson. Troops are hourly expected b. he embarked from hence on some service, for which the whole garrison is impatient. Col. Phil- II lips, a's chief*draftsman,' is gtfne'to reconnoitre the I enemy's works., and, as we suppose, preparatory to our expedition.; We think that a. strong force will .be sent irom hence 'to .Egypt." FIAST-INEIE-?.Madras lnt.>:et-te.S to the 18th of Offbber, And Ceylon Gazettes to the 23th of Scp- tember, were received this morning. The accounts ot the /operations of General Lake and General Weiiesley are not later than those already com- municated to the puttie; but the former papers enable us *<•» «»r «/c • icw circumstances which took p!ac»? pr^vtO" to (. ^'ueral WeUesley's victory over the Mj.'fr,>.rt on t%> 23d of-September. I On the 2d of a body of the Man rat fa horse,-cf inmanat 1 f; ■. ireuch .o&eer,.attacked the eanumnuait vi oiuKabad, on the frontier of the district of Eiawah., The British force at that post 'consisted of five 'companies of a battalion of native Infantry,- under ..Ueut.-Colonel Cotungham, The attack was long and obstinate, put the British -trotif>5•su?eee'de4in repulsing the eneiny. On the 4 th- hjLStmJ, however, Lieut.-rC-olonel Gouin^hani- was again attacked by the enemy's troops, to whom he opposed 'a ■Spirited resistance. for some hottr?, •rut-having nksson to believe that their number v-us considerable "as -to render further resistance in- effectual, he Surrendered, en condition that his detachment should be permitted to march to %'awupore,' with their arms and ammunition, and the'guns attached to the corps; that all private "/propcrf.v should be protected, and that the detach- ment siipuld not. serve during the war.with Dowlut Kao Scindiah. These terms were faithfully ob- served by the enemy, and the detachment ac £ oru- inglv marclied to Cawnporc.—ihe following, are the names ot th odicers Wounded in the attack on Shekabad:—Licuti-Col. Coningliam, Capt.Lam- bo rue, Capt. WinboIt, of the artillery, Lieut. Sloneham, and Ensign Heyshani. The mimber of sepoys stated to be killed and wounded, is 63. A strong force was immediately dispatched by the Commander in Chief to Shekabad, and the whole of the enemy's troops, without waiting to be attacked, retreated from the Compa-ny's do- minions. The victory of Sept. 23, was announced at Ma- dras on the it)th -(-)t" October, and a royal sa-lute was fired in !lollour of it.-The Gazette Extraor- dinary states (scarcely credible) that the enemy -1 eft '215,000 dead on "the field, of battle. The Madras Gazette of Oct. 15 says, that Ge- neral Wellesley took Yo-i pieces of cannon on the '23d of -September j and adds, that after the cap- ture and Delhi, General Lake topt pos- session ot Muttra. The King of Delhi (formerly called the Great Mq £ ;u1) mentioned in' the .late India dispatches, is .4 he Sovereign Prince, who two of .three years since was surprised, and made captive by the Mahrattas, who instantly put cut both his eyes In this de- plorable state-of tetal biindhess, he'has been re- ceived under British protections^- -When Kouli Khan took pusscssion, utDeUn, he levied in it up- wards/of iit) millions- s};erluig. is probable the I left so much in I it now.. Notice of a war having taken place betweenthis I country and l-rance was given by the Marquis of Wellesley in a. proclamation, dated-oil the 13th of 'last. September." Accounts from Ceylon to'the 2Bth of September state, thatpreviously to the victories gained on the tith and" 12th of September, the Candians had in- vaded the northern and eastern districts of the island^ and succeeded in stimulating the inhabi- tants to." insurrection. Th%y had, at one tim§3 nearly over-run all the northern districts. The Ceylon Gazette of the 23th September says, I "Reports are daily gaining credit of increasing dissatisfaction among the principal courtiers and subjects of the King of Candy, in consequence of his niurder of the Dessave Leuke, and other acts of cruelty. Thev/idows of that(nobleman, and of one y who was killed at Royberg, having been refused permission by the King to come down to the place of'their death, to collect their remains, and to per- form their last duties to them, are said to have hanged themselves." Our cruizers have again been blown off Bqulogne by the strong westerly gales. Some arrived yes- terday in the Downs, and the rest at Dungeness. The number of vessels at Boulogne is now made to amount to two thousand and twenty-seven, the whole of which are ready for sea, and the troops dai- ly expected to embark. Tuesday evening last, while part of our squadron was cruizing off Calai», they discovered about 25 of the enemy's boats, under convoy of a lnig, pro- 6 ceeding to Boulogne, on which they gays chace; on coming near, our vessels began to engage, but the enemy being so very close to the shore, they could not do them much damage. A shot from the Fury carried away one of their masts;what damage was"done'to' their hulls could, hot. béperceivcd". In this affair we had two meif killed and four. Wounded. Our fleet off Brest was left all well on the 1st inst. 'by-the ivliobe, of44 gun's, Capt. Scott. The enemy's "A-S Inconsequenècafthei notice given on Wednes- day,: Messrs. Euget and -Co • Steers and Jones; Ellis and Co.; and French and Co. with several other gentlemen waited 'on Mr. Corry yesterday. The gentlemen were informed that the sum waut- I ed -lor;Ireland would; be two minion's, and Mr. Cor- ry requested to see'the bidders on Saturday morn- ing, to give in their propasals: they thought pro- 'lv per, however, to inform hinipthat before they could lbrm a-judginent. of the :price they ought to'bid, it would be.n'tbe'ssary to "be Inform eel what would be 'he amount of. the loan for England.—Mr. C orry i desired tlife parties to attend him again on Satur-, day morning, and he would take an opportunity, in the mean time, to consult Mr: Addingtoru The operation of (he New Assessed Tax Acts, for levying an additional duty oh houses, windows, servants, &c, .commenced yesterday. The first1 quarter's assessment is to be paid on the 20th of June, in England and Wales; in Scotland the du- ties are to be paid half-yearly, the first"paynient to take place on the 29th September, 1804. SATURPAV, April 7. This evening's Gazette contains dispatches from Governor North, at Ceylon, confirming our suc- cesses in that island, related in a preceding, co- lumn. The Governor adds, that 200 of the -34th regiment had arrived from Madras; and that Lord W eliesley had destined the battalion of Bengal volunteers for Ceylon: Last night dispatches were sent to Portsmouth, to be put on board the Leviathan, of 74 guns, for Lord Nelson, in the Mediterranean. The Acheron bomb-vessel, at Spithead, is or- dered to join Lord Nelson's fleet. The Irish loan is to be bid tor on the 21st, and the English loin on t"he 25th.inst. Six English mails were stopped- near Warsaw in tiie middfe of last m-onth, by twelve persons arm- ed and mas-ked, who took out all the English let- ters, and then permitted the postilions to proceed, j The several officers employed on the impress service are ordered to use the utmost exertions in procuring men for the fleet, and to accept all stoat healthy boys. The business of Parliament was resumed on Thursday In the House of Lords, the volunteer bill has again come under consideration. Several amendments, tending to restrain tbe exemptions to volunteers, and also the augmentation of their numbers, were proposed by Lord Grenville, but- rejected. His Lordship, however, gave notice, of I' a bill which he intended to introduce on a subject of some importance,, connected with the-bill at present before the House, namely, to define the king's prerogative respecting the calling out of the force of the. country.-—Ih the course of these dis- cussions, Lords King, Carnarvon, and Gren-ville, made some strong--remarks on what they termed the incapacity of Ministers, whose conduct, 'they added, had been such, that Parliament ought to leave nothing to their, discretion. Lord Tlawkes- bury and the Lord Chanceiier very spiritedly re- plied and the Earl of Limerick-, alluding to the rumoured coalition/observed, that it reminded him of a transaction in one of Shakspeafe's plays, where two Kings are each resolved to take a town. The citizens, however, were not inclined that either of them should enter, but signified that after the Kiugs had fought, they would open their .gmes to tiie .strongest,- "Their Majesties, however, did not approve of the advice, but agreed that-the one should, attack the city on the cast, and the other on the west; and that atter they had taken it, they should' light 1% see who should keep pos- session.- Various public accounts .have. been ordered in the Commons, preparatory to the Budget, which is expected to be consolatory, under the circum- stances of the nation.—-Last night, Mr. Francis renewed his motion for information concerning the -grounds of the present war in India; to which i.ord Castlereagh replied, that the same reason w'hichdhduced him on a former day to oppose the motion still existed, ho communication troul the Governor-General having yet been received. Mr. Francis, thereupon, withdrew his motion. MONDAY, April 9. INDIA.—An overland dispatch arrived yesterday from Bombay, dated Dec; 2, which brings, the im- portant and agreeable intelligence of another sig- nal victory obtained by General Lake, and e'f a cessation of hostilities between Sci-ndia and Ge- neradWellpsiey; Late this evening, an Extraordinary Gazette: was' published, containing a dispatch from the Gover- nor in Council at Bombay, announcing the capitu- lation of Agfa to Gent-ral Lake on the Ifth of October, and the capture of the fort of.Barra- butty (taken by assault) by Lieut.-Col ilucouit on the 14th of the same month, whu'i <omnlettd the conquest of the valuable province of Cuttack. The dispatch then stales,, that on the 5th of Oct. an- overture was received by General Wchcslcy from the camp Of Scindia and the Berar: RaJah, requesting that' officers belonging to the allies might be sent to negociate: terms of peace; this was refused by General Wellesley, but he signified his readiness to receive from the enemy any person duly empowered ro propose terms;.and Scindia accordingly sent an aeci-^dited agent, with whom it cessation :of hostilities was agreed upon between the British tbrccs and those ofScmdia, bllt not in- cluding the Rajah of Berar. Bv this arrangement, the contending armies were to retire to the dis.tance of SO coss tronl each other, and either party might break off the agreement on giving notice. The particulars of General Lake's victory are ex- tracted irom the Bombay Courier Extnwrdillarvof Dec. 3, as follow: Baracporc, 12th Nov. 180.3. Dispatches have-this instant been received from his Ex- cellency tbe Commander, hi Chief, by which it appears that a most compleat and glorious victory luisbecn obtained 011 the 1st instant, at Cassowly, over a body of the enemy, of the battalions detaehediri Jutyfrolll the Uce- Cim, with sotiit battalions wiiioh had escaped iroiii Delhi, (amounting altogether to 11 battalions), and a large body bf horse. 5 All the enemy's baLtaliohs were cut tip or taken, aiid near 7Q guns, their-whole baggage, buzars, &e. are-in our possession. Central Lake had lor- some daysbeell in pursuit of the enemv on the morning aftlle 31st October, the General had imt<rehcd 20 nules, and hearing that the enemy were halted at a. considerable distance, at 12 o'clock P. M. the night of the 31 st of October, lie advanced 20 mtles with the cavalry (making-the whole distance marched io 24 hours, 40 miles), and came up with the enemy at day- break on the 1st. We inimediately attacked to detain them until the arrival of the infantry. This,plan succeeded coin- pleatly.' When the infantry., arrived, a general attack was made on the enemy, who, after a most desperate resistance, were ensirely defeated, bat with a severe loss on our side. The details of the action are rot yet received, but his Ex- cellency states, that Major General Ware, Colonel Vande- leure, Major Gnthths,Aid-de-C.tn!p to the Governor-Ge- neral, Major Campbell, Deputy-Quarter-Master-Geueral, and Lieutenant Duval, Aid-de-Camp to the Commander in Chief, were killed.' The General had two horses killed under him, aIltt his coat torn with grape shot. Major Lake was wounded in the knee with grape-shot; he will tfot how- ever lose his leg. We understand, from good authority, that a let- ter has been lately received from Fort St. George, stating, that the ctetachinent-Of; French troops at Pondicherry, to whom ternis of capitulation were granted, Surrendered on the 11th September last to his Majesty's rad regimenf. Accounts had heeii, received, at Calcutta from Batav"j;t, dated the a is t of August, stating, that on the 27th and 28th of August, the Hope, Aber- gavenny, Coutts, Warren Hastings, Alfred, Dor- setshire, and Gahge^ passed the Streights of Siinda. On the b^ejt.,of the printed qaestions which a.re presented to all ship$ by the Dutch offi- cer of Angra Point, a of one of the above ships wrote a note,- saying, "'The ship under my coinnland" sailed "h-Qm England the day of. May last, when hostilities were expected imme- diately to take place between Trance and Eng- land. Another Captain is said to have written a memorandum, that hostilities had actually com- menced.—In consequents of this- imprudent com- munication,. the Dutch detained three English ships which' were lying there-; -.and. all the large ships, which were loadiiig with cargoes for Europe, have been unladen, and were htting out fOr of Two Hamburgh arid three Gottenbui-nh mails ar- rived in the course of yesterday-and tills morning. They have brought a report of the Grand'Judge upon the late conspiracy, with part of the documents annexed; which bear internal evidence of the greater part, if not the whole, being a contemptible .fabrication, to fix the con- spiracy upon England. Mr. Drake, our Minister at Munich, is stated to have directed and carried it on: he; is charged with having-conceived the project.of destroying the Government of France, blowing up the powder mills, arming party against party, and disorganising the army and is accused of having sent an agent to Paris to carry the pro- ject into execution. The Elector of Baden has published an ordon- nance relative to the arrest of the emigrants in his territories.' It does not at all remove the stigma that will ever attach upon his character for having suffered the kipnapping ofthe Duke D'Enghein.— The Elector lias forbidden the residence otv French emigrants in his dominions. Barthelemy, the Paris banker, and brother to the senator, has heen arrested and seiit,to. the Temple, for having paid a bill drawn on him fro'n London. Madame Hulot, mother-in-law. of Moreau, has, with several of the General's friends, and other persons, been arrested. Orders were issued at Vienna, on. the 17th ult. for immediately repruit-mg the Austrian regiments to their full complement. A letter from Amsterdam, dated the 1st inst. says, that all the troops aiollg the French and Batavian coasts have received orders to,hold them- selves in readiness to breakup at an hour's notice. It adds, that in Holland every thing was in readi- ness for embarkation. A conspiracy in favour of the French-is said to have been formed at Malta, but it was discovered when it was on the point of being carried into exe- cution, and the ringleaders taken into custody. The Monmouth, of 64 guns, arrived Oil Saturday at Portsmouth from the Mediterranean. She sail- ed from thence on the yth ult. at which period it is stated the Toulon fleet still remained in harbour. An action has taken place off Bergen between the Amethyst irigate, which was sent thither by the Admiralty to watch the Dutch squadron that had put in there, and the four armed ships of which it was composed. Of these the largest carried 24 guns. They ventured out to attack the Amethyst, but were beaten back with considerable loss. The Thetis frigate lately fell in with a Dutch squadron, off the coast of Norway, consisting of two schooners, a corvette, and a brig, two of which she captured, and the others returned to Eisineur to repair, with the loss of one killed and I seven wounded.. A signal.was made yesterday morning, .at Deal, for some of the enemy's vesels bwiug out, and se- ¡ j verai of our ships immediately sailed lor th £ French,cvast. by a, gentleman very recently arrived from Mor- laix, we are intormed dldl there are now at that, port, between Bo and 90 Irish- oiffcers, who it is un- derstood, arc to be conveyed tu Ireland as soon as the French armament may be enabled to sail fcr that destination. Many of them were formerly in the Irish brigade, and many others are banished traitors., They, have no men under their com- mand, but depend solely on being joined., .by -the rebels-, and'particularly on a great desertion from the Irish militia. A Continental war is talked of in every part of Germany as inevitable. A letter from Dantzic says, that immense magazines are formed upon the Rus- sian and Prussian frontiers; and the .tro.ops are evhy \dJcre in motion. A camp for thirty thousand men is now marking out at Litchfield, it being nearly the centre of the island; and the churches and other places, capa- ble of holding-men,-or of being converted into de- pots, have been surveyed. We also learn, that large quantities of biscuit have been sent thither by the canals. Sir William Pulteney's income, last year, it, is said, amounted to 145,0001. without, -including the produce of his immense Kentucky .estate. Upwards of three millions of oranges were im- ported during the last week Irom Seville, Lisbon, and Messina; .and about 100,000 lemons from Pa- lermo; the prices of the latter are lower, viz. 90s. per chest re-packed, of from 6 to 800. The best re-packed Lisbon granges are at 90s. perches t • The at tl-ie fiid;a-house is,tiriu- sually large; 6,236,OOOlbs. are to be exposed, being nearly twojnitlion pounds beyond last year's sale! Lieut. George Mozeley and Lieut; Patrick. Man- nen, of the 7th battalion of reserve, were on Sa- turday gazetted, as dismissed the service, for using gross and indecent language to, and in the hearing of, two officer's wives, at Norman-cross barracks. At the Taunton Assizes, on Tuesday, Alexan- der Davison, Esq. and Messrs. White, Parsons, and Hopping were found guilty of conspiring to cotrupt the electors of the borough pf Jlchesterat the last general election.—The defendants are to appear in the Court of ling's Bench early in the next term to receive judgment. A bill of indictment found by the Grand Jury of London against a gentleman of, legal,, eminence, for an assauit on a married, woman, the wife oi his client, is removed by writ of certiorari into the Court of King s Bench, •• TUESDAY, April 10. bDl. The Gazette of this evening contains various enclosures referred to in the Governor- General's dispatch, published in the Extraordinary Gazette of isj.sfc night. They relate -some -further particular? of the surrender of Agra) Barabutty, Ihroach, and Powangliur. Previous to the ca- pitulation of Agra, it was found necessary to-dis- lodge the enemy from the town, which was effect- ed on the 10th of October, with a loss on our pan of one officer and 34 men killed, seven' officers, and 172 men wounded, and IS missing. Lieut. Grant, of the 9th regiment, was. the officer, killedand those wounded were Lieut. Beagham, artillery: Lieut. Whittaker, 9th regiment, since dead: Major Lieut. Rose, and Ensign Oliver. 18th rpgimeut; and Lieut. Pehry, 15th do. The enemy lost upwards of 600 killed, and about 2500 went over to the British on the night of the 12th. The only terrns required by the, garrison of the fort of A £ ra, were protection to their persons arid private property, which General Lake agreed to. Our loss in the assault of Barabutty was five men killed; three officers and 26 men wounded.-— The officers w-otmded were Capt. Hurlestone, 22d regiment; Capt. Kenny, 19th native infiyitry; and Lieut. Faithful, artillery.. • In the siege and storm of Baröaehwe had one officer and 10 men killed, two officers and 52 men wounded, and seven missing.—Capt. Semple, :bf the 86th regiment, was the oi^icer who fell; Capt. Richardson and M'Laurin, of the Same regiment, these wounded. v- The boats, qf, the Scorpion, and Beaver sloops gallantly cut o lit of "the Vlie -Passage, (Texd) 'on the 31st ult. the Dutch brig Atalante, of 16 'gnus and 76 men.—In this affair,- Lieut.

Captaiu and tiirce seamen killed and the first Lieutenant, three officers, and eight .-sea- .nen wounded. — Admiral Thornboraugh after- wards liberated the purser, pilot, ami the'de- ceased Captain's servant, and sent the latter with his masters enccts to the Dutch Admiral, in the Texel, to be delivered tuhis relatives,—Gazette. The Hamburgh mail due on Sunday au-rlved this, morning; the most important intelligence brought by it is contained in. the Hamburgh paper of the"3d of April, under the head Paris, March 24. The sentence of death against the Duke D'En- ghien was carried into execution in the night, be- tween the-21st and 22d., He was shot at two o'clock in the mormng, in the Bois de Vinoennes. The Prince, was brought from Ettenheim to Paris on the evening of the 20th, in a coach with six horses, under an escort Of50 gens d'armes, and car- to the Temple, where, however, he., was not confined, as those who conducted, him found an jrder to convey him without delay to the Castle of incennes. Immediately on his arrival a military commis- sion was assembled. The Prince was so fatigued" with his journey, that he could scarcely keep awake even at this serious moment. When the sentence of death was read to him, lie requested to speak to the First Consul but this could not be permitted, tie then summoned his resolution, and met his death with firmness. It is said he refused having a bandage over his eyes. Several Generals; were pre- sent when he was shot. Pichegru will not suffer the wounds which he received -at the time of his arrest to be sewed up. Letters from Munich state, that eleven Emi- grants have been arrested there, at the instance of the French Envoy, Citizen Otto; among them is the late Bishop of ChalonS. The First Consul is now at Malmaison, and only admits to his presence such persons as have to speak with him on business. The Austrian Governrnent has thought it neces- sary to send additional troops to the fortresses on the coast of Dalmatia. The accounts from Vienna, of the 24th of March, sa.y, that the,repor t which has been circulated there, that the French had taken possession of the city of N (tplcs, is not creclitnrl. A declaration of Bonaparte to the Court of St. Petersburgh, it is said, has been received by Go- vernment, stating, that in case any Russian troops from the Baltic should land in Mecklen- burgh, Ilolste'in, or any where else upon the Ger- man continent, the French troops would immedi- atelyoccupy the Hause Towns; and if any, Russian troops, from the Black Sea, should attempt,to land on the Italian continent, French-troops would oc- cupy Naples and every sea-port in the kingdom. A detachment of boats from the squadron-under the command of Sir Sidney Smith, about eight or ten days since rowed up the river Dollart, between Flushing and Cadsand, and cut out. two schuyts laden with corn, and merchandize, and ha-ving about 4000 dollars on board,—A lew days ait-cr another dctaehnicnt ofboats clitout another schuyt laden with provisions and stores; perceiving ano- ther vessel apparently ofl the same kind, on their return, prepared, to attack her, but she proved to be a masked vessel, placed'purposely there, well arm- led, full of -soldiers, and protected by some comp^. I nies of infantry on shore. After a seve re co of 45 nunutes, r were reluctantly oh- liged- to relinquish their prize, with the loss of seve_ ral men ktfied and wounded. Nothing wofthy of particular observation oc- curred in cither..House of Parliament yesterday.— Tiie Lords-were, occupied' till' a late hour in a Committee oil the volunteer bill, (to which an amendment was. made. that it should commence from the 1st of June, instead of the 1st of May.

Tiie murder ofthe Duke d'Enghien by the Frehch tyrant must excite the general indignation of Eu- rope. A private iettcr.rcceived by the mail of yes- terday from liamburgh says, the newst,lf this .atw- cious deed excited there, among the people of every opinion ol poli tics, a sen^a' ion of horror which no language can "describe.:—" The in- decent haste (says the writer) with which the sen- tence was .executed,, is-of itself, in the minds of all reasonable people, a sufficient proof; that it was un- juM. Not any part the Prince may or may not have hadinthe conspiracy (if ever it existed), but the rage Of Bonaparte at seeing all his threats agaiHsr England despised, his vaunted preparatt- ons useless, and himself in the disagreeable alter- native of suffering the contempt of Europ-e, or un- -dertaking ari.expedi.tTinx' which he now sees must I tail., has brought the frince to this" uhtifnely death. Another ltttcr, -rcceiv,ed, by a. commercial house in the city, desircs them not to ship some coffee that had been ordered for a. Danish port, as it was very generally believed, that in a few days a Freheh force would occupy Tonningen, and all the other Danish ports in thatnemhbourhood In the House of Lords, last. night, the Earl of n Suffolk-moved-for-'a- Committee, to enquire into the state of the defence of the country, but met with no support irom any other Peer and, after a few words from Lord iiawkesbury,'the motion was negatived. Their Lordships then proceeded in the volunteer bill, in which an amendment was made, exemptmg yeomanry from military law when;out on duty. A long debate arose in the Commons, on the bill empowéring. his Majesty to accept thcofiers of service ot tiie J ia.>h militia It was contended, on the one hand, that the bill went to deprive Ireland of its best defence at a perilous crisis; and, oil the other, that the measure was merely part of a plan'to augment the disposable force of the coun-. ^y>- «Mvd. t.hat the .10,000 men proposed to be drawn fiom Ireland might be replaced by. the army of reserve, or other troops from England, indepen- dently of an increase of the Irish militia.-The bill at length went through a Committee.
