It is stated from very good authority, that tfrfc militlry part of the expedition at the Helder is far from being at present ,ot a tonYudahl# character.

The Hero is to sail'to day. f he Malta, which the French declared to have been, so damaged in the action of the 22d, that she must be condemned, >vent into dock on Thursday, and was to be out ag iin last night. Between the 29th of tins month, and the 16th of the next, 16 sail of the line will have been coinplet- ly equipped and. got ready for sea in the different ports. Accounts from Cork state, that every precaution has been- to render any attempt of the ene- my in that quarter unavailing. On Saturday last the Terrible, Diadem, Belliqueux, Led i, and Nar- cissus, now at Cove, anchored in such a position as to be able to co-operate with the forts for the ef- fectual protection of the harbour.-r-Theyare-moor- ed at the entrance so as not to obstruct the fire of ,the batteries from having its fulleffect. A vigorous note has been transmitted from the Austrian Government to the different magistrates, which proves that strong suspicion attaches to the French Government of promoting and fomenting the disturbances which lately occurred at Vienna.— This riots expressly orders all strangers travelling, who have no passports, or have receIved them since the 7th or 8th of July, to be arrested by the magistrates, and sent in irons to Vienna, whatever be- their rank. A few days ago, our squadron perceived the ex- tensive camp along the hills of Boulogne, to be struck in a few moments;immediately after 200 sail of the enemy's vessels came ou t of the harbour, and. were attacked by our cruiser's; they were full of troops; and even the smallest boat had as many on board as she could possibly stow. The wind, however, coming about to the westward, they all I t returned to the harbour, and our ships were not able to make any impressipn upon them. By a. return recently made to the Admiralty, of the Ft-ench force (jfi" Boulogne, it appears that the enerhy have certainly collected there more than two thousand armed vessels of various descriptions! The expedition is said to have sailed from Cork, its destination is not mentioned. The 3Iorning Chronicle of this day makes the fol- lowing humourous jeers on Lord Castlereagh's late fail into the water: The ifulyralle-socip-ty lias presented a silver me- dal to Mr. Purnice, the Apothecary at Woolwich, for his successful efforts in restoring animation x>ii ruesday last, to, the Lord Viscount Castlereagh, who perished by one of those false steps that. have marked the progress of the present ad- ininistration. The noble Viscount was first hung up by the heels, and a. great quantity of water discharged, it- self fro in., the trachea. Mr. Pitt, and Mr. Long were then instructed to rub his Lordship's nobler parts with salt; for an hour and a half, but without bein«-, able to infuse any of the attic particles of that pur° gent mineral: and Lord Mulgrave applied a pair of bpllows, in the mode prescribed by the printed di- rections of the Society. Sir Sidney Smith seems surprized at the success Ot hss own nautical machine, at once so well calcu- lated as it turned out, to destroy not only the ene- mies, but the best friends of the country. Mr.Pitt,between a sigh and an hiccup observed, that water was an inlernal beverage, and that he hoped this would be a hint to every noble friend of his in future, not to mix it with his wine. ,1' An expres's was sent off On Wednesday, by Mr. Pitt, to Lord Melville, \lith the news of Lord Cas- tlereagh's plunge, that he we! it off the platform with asteadiness worthy of imitation, and that if he had not luckily been -suspended by the transverse beams, the whole" country would have been over- whelmed with the most sorious distress. Addresses are expected from ail parts of the United iving;!om. Mr.-Pitt and the Grocer's com- j pany dine at Woolwich on Sunday next, to cele- brate the. above fortunate escape of Lord Castle- reagh, dad with niuch* classical felicity have order- ed a whole course of wate-r-sovchee iuhoirour bf that YOUU,,4 MONDAY, SeptcmbetM. Captain Blackwood, of the Euryalus frigate, ar- rived this morning at the Admiralty with dis- patches. His ship had been .sent from Cork to Lord Nelson but missing him, proceeded to Ad- miral Collingwood, olf Cadiz. The dispatches state, that the combined fleets, consisting of 27 if of the line, arrived at Cadiz on the 20th ult. Admiral Collingwood, of course, did not, with his four sail of the line, venture to oppose them—they chaced him for a short time before they entered Cadiz. ■_ As soon, however, as-they gotin, he return- ed to his station, and re-anchored with his four sail of the line off the harbour. On tbe 24th the Eury- alus fell in with Sir Robert Calder's fleet, within twenty leagues drCadlzjso that he would in all pro- bability join Admiral Collingwood the next day, and the blockade of Cadiz would then be effectual- ly resumed: The following bulletin was sent to Lloyd's this morning Admiralty-Oiffce, Sept. 2,1805. By a. dispatch received this morning trom Ad- miral Collingwood, dated the 21st ult it appears thaton the preceding day the enemy's fleet, consist- ing of 27 or 28 sail of the line, with several frigates, entered that harbour, after ineffectually chacing the small squadron under the Vice-Admiral's com-; ina-ftd.

About 40 sail of the Dutch transports were re- moved into the Mars Diep on the 29th ult. but.itis supposed this rpanfeuvre was merely meant as a deception. Admiral Russell, however, was watch- 1 ing their motions. ( The number of soldiers embarked (infantry and cavalry) amount-to 19,000. Some of the Dutch I men ofwiir are much crOuded, having 1100 on j board, including mariners.—-But it is thought im- possible for them to put to sea without the English 1 Admiral bringing them to action, in which^ case '<■ there can be qo doubt he would give a good ac- count of them. i The embargo on Dutch vessels it issaid has been, postponed, as welLas the invasion, from that quar- ter.A letter ot the 28th u it. from Rotterdam, says, A paper is stuck up at our Exchange, signbying, that vessels sail every week, ntted tor the accommo- dation of passingers, for London:" » ^0 or.30 C,.NLQre on their way to the Downs, where they are to be joined by many others from the Southward. The tonnage is 10,000 of those which passed the Nore, besides the others expected in the Downs from different places. They .art; capable of taking on board 10 or 15,000 men. Whether they are to bring troops from Russia, to convey English troops to the Mediteranean, or to proceed against the Cape of Good Hope, is at pre- sent left to conjecture. The treaty oi subsidy between Great Britain a-nd Russia has been signed,—and Russian troops, it is stated, are actually on their march. Some of the Jamaica convoy have been taken and carried into Cuba. The following are the names of the vessels which are already known to be cap- tured:, Sally, Haynes; Bristol, Mevrick, from Ja- maica to Bristol. Bostock, Kelly, from Jamaica to Liverpool. Nestor,Luke, homJamaica to London. And the Chesterval, from Jamaica to Clyde, WK^KSSOAY, September 4.' Paris papers to the 27th ult, were. received this -no ri I I morning. Their principal details are the move- ments of Austrian and Russian troops which conti- nue with Unabated activity. The Russian Govern- ment is stated to have endeavoured to procure transports, but could not obtain sufficient, the ob- ject for which they were required is not mentioned, from Turkey an article appears relating the disco- very of a plot formed against the life oftheGrand Senior, the conspirators have been all putto death. Bonaparte was at Boulbgne on the' .22d' ult. and on that.day reviewed all the vessels assembled in that port. The Clef du Cabinet of the 25th. con- tains a fabricated note from Frankfort, abusing, in the most indecent terrns M. Novozilzoff, on accQuni. of the refusal of the Russian Emperor: to acknow- ledge Bonaparte Emperor of France or King of Italy. Letters received from Gibraltar represent the garrison perfectly healthy. The Spanish gunboats Vvhich have been lately employed in firing red hot shot and shells at ollr shipping, have suffered so iiiiieh theni^eiVes by this kind of offensive warfare that it is thought they will no longer have recourse to it. In their last attack, while loading with red hot shot the Second time, an officer and two men were blown to piec.es on board the gunboats, which Struck such a panic into their whole line thatall per-, struck such a. panic into their whole line thatall per-, suasions ofthe officers' could not induce them to try any further loading with red hot shot, and they yere Compelled to make-a precipitate retreat. The same accounts add that, since their return to Algesiras, four inen more have lost their lives in practising t111sklncPüf firing, which has so damped the spirits of the crsws,tlia.t it- i's very doubtful whether they will ever-attentpt that-mode of attack again. Sir -Bickerton, with his squadron, sailed on the 2d tilt. in pursuit of the Carthagena fleet. The amount of the Spanish force-encamped near the garrison is stated at 11,450 meH. It is believed that the treaty between Great Bri- tain arid Russia will be immediately formally rati- fled. It ? also expected to be shortly acceded to byseyeral other powers, forming a.powerftil confe- deracy, from the exertions of which the happiest st effects, it may be rationally concluded, will result. Ihe Austrian armaments, are..continued with una- bated activity. Dispatches of the greatest impor- tance were seat-off from Lord Mulgrave's office last night for the.continent. Prussia, it is confidently stated, has, for the present,, resolved to preserve a neutrality, which^howeyer it may be productive of; temporary advantage# cannot butbe considered as a most Unw-ise policy. It appears, by hi,telligence received from South America., that. the .Spaniards fitted, out a 50 gnn ship and tvsfo» brig? in the rivet Plata, to cruize against the British fishery round Cape Horn they sailed early in April. The 50 gun ship was soon afterwards lost, with the whole of the crew, riear i boo ,people, in consequence Of whiclj the brigs re- turned tp poi't, and vyere shortly after laid up. No further intelligence has been received from the fleet under, the command of Sir R. Calder; but there can- be no doubt hut that he would arrive off •-Cadiz by the 25th or 26th ult. at the latest; and it the coihbined fteet'had not put to seac again before that tune, the. blockade of that port has been re- sumed with a force that will render it almost im- possible for them to escape. A pilot-boat, arrived at Deal, left Admiral Russel on Sunday- off the Texel with 7 sail of the line blockading the Dutch fleet. The latter, consisting of 7 sail ot the line and about 50 transports, were ;n the inner roads. On Sunday the Auckland packet, Schuyler, with dispatches from Lisbon, arrived at Falmouth, after a passage of 8 days-having been' ordered to sail at (f hours notice'wi'th thefoilowhig account:— ill's.,Majesty's :bri.g Alcion, of 16 guns, arrived at Lisbon on the 22 1 ult. from Gibraltar, with mails; she-bad also taken under convoy three mer- chantVessels from Gibraltar, but on''the 18th ult. Cape St. Vincent in sight^ they fell in with the com- bined .fleets, consisting bf20 sail of the line, seve- ral frigates;brigs, &c. which captured the three m erchant vessels: the Alcion escaped by using her sweeps." The1 French frigate La Topaze is arrived at Lis- bon, having as board the Captain and crew of his M'fyesty-'s.ship Blanche, Capt. Mudge, ..and is per- forming quarantine. On the' 19th ult. the Phcenix frigate, with her prjze La. Didon, passed by Lisbon for Gibraltar, Fhis account dispels the fears which were' bekih to be entertained for their safety.—The loss onpoard the two frigates .in the late action is stated a.s.iol- lows—the DidOn 24 killed, 44 wounded—the Phce- qix 14 killed and 30 wounded, "fest&rday inoriling; at 6 (/'clock, Mr. Peake, Lord Neison's, firs t Lieu te nan t, set off for Ports mo u th ,'to Drder etery preparation on board the Victory, pre- paratory to her receiving the flag of his Lordship. to morrow mbAling- Lord-Nelson will s<;t off from cordon's hotel to resume the connnand of his fleet, ihd will immediately proceed to Cadiz. Sir Sidney Smith has been making further expe riments' with his newly constructed gun-boats, at DoVer, where two have been built-under his direc- tion.
