Xtjlerday arrived the ftp Charleston, in 46 days from Liverpool; by which we have re ceived a file of London papers to the loth July. They contain a variety of intelligence the HIGHEST IMPORTANCE. FRANCE has undergone another revolution, which has introduced another change of men and measures. Anew system of government is established by the new Di reftory, and an entire reorganization of all the public departments of the state has been announced. V ITALY gives promise of a speedy restoration to its ancient matters. By the capture of the Citadel of Turin equal in strength to that of Lisle, places the crown once more on the head of the King of Sardinia. Suwarrow’s complete defeat of Macdonald insures the certain deftrmflion of French hopesand the entire evacuation of Italy. No troops it seems had been disembarked at Genoa by the Toulon fleet. MEDITERRANEAN Lord Keith had succeeded to the command of the fleets here in place of Lord St. Vin cents, refignedthro’ ill health. The French and Spanish fleets are completely blocked up by the combined fleets, who are far su perior in numbers. SWITZERLAND nothing of moment has happened here.— Maflena remains in strong poiition,but the Archduke is endeavoring to bring him to battle. LONDON, July 12. We understand that the admiralty has now certain intelligence that the Brest fleet w as not in Toulon on the 20th ultimo. — It is generally believed that it is gone firlt to relieve Malta and then to proceed to the relief of Buonaparte. July 20. We this morning received Paris papers to the 14th instant. They bring intelli gence of no very important events from t-'ie armies, refpe&ing which the great ap prehensions appear to be entertained at " a ris. Macdonald, it appears, who had knee been displaced, had retreated to Pif toia in Tuscany on the 28th, where the communication was yet maintained by the le a fide between his army and that Mo tcau. The divisions of Viclor and La- Poype occupy the defiles of the Genoefe Appenines. The greatest apprehensions °re exprefled, that both armies may be cut oir by Ceva and Savona. The conduft of the king of Pruflia ap pears to occasion much anxiety at Paris. tie ruling faction are accused of negocia ‘lng with his Prussian majesty for the ref lation of a constitutional king; while °me Journals aflert that he has joined the coa.it, °n ; others state, that he is to aflem r a p e the belligerent pow r. at Raftadt, to agree upon propositions oe made to France, and to adopt a dec •'Vuon to be iflued, before a loldier en ker» her territory. The EngUfh fleet has taken three large 1 {hips, with 1,200 men on board, from 1 Malta and Egypt. This capture was made near Toulon. The French fleet is stated to have entered Carthagena. BOS TON, September 6. THE GRAND FLEETS. Captain Preble has arrived lince our last from Malaga and Gibraltar. Sailed from the latter place July 20. News was re ceived that the French and Spanifli fleets having joined at Carthagena, confiding of 43 fail of the line, 14 frigates, and 5 cor vettes, had pafled out of the Straits and got into Cadiz. A Britifli frigate came into Gibraltar July 20, in ten days from Port Mahon, where ilie left the Britifli fleet of 31 fail of the line, ready to fail in pursuit of the French and Spaniffi. They were expe&ed to pass by Gibraltar every hour, as the wind was strong at the east ward. Admiral St. Vincent was at Gib raltar, and had dispatched veflels to watch the combined fleet. This fleet pal Ted Gib raltar July 6. Four Ruflian men of war were at Gibraltar, ready to join the Eng lish fleet. b The combined fleet carried into Cadiz with it, the Barbara, Clark, of Boston ; the- Mountford, of New-York, and a Philadelphia Ihip. Captain P. further informs, that the in habitants of Gibraltar murmured much at the apparent negligence of the Britifli Ad mirals, who had fuffered the hostile and formidable fleets thus to elude them. Earl St. Vincents, was agitated with extreme anxiety. Captain P. in coming from Gib raltar pafled near the ftiore through Cadiz Bay, but saw nothing to indicate that the combined fleet remained there. As the wind had blown Frelh at the eastward he imagines they had failed again. He saw a frigate which appeared to be making fiv nals ; but she evaded him. In coming down the ftreights the com bined fleet was preceded by frigates, a head of each other, to convey seasonable intel ligence of the English. The headmoft of these frigates [Spanifh] was engaged by an Algerine brig, built in the United States, the conflict was obstinate and bloody. It appeared that the Turk would have captur ed the Spaniard had not the fleet appeared in fight when, being unable to escape, he surrendered. The object of the combined fleet was to tally unknown. But there can be no doubt something highly important is contempla ted. Perhaps the next step will be to re lease the Dutch navy from the Texel. We do not find, upon particular enqui ry and ftridt relearch, that the French fleet has been above Toulon; and as the Eng lish fleet was ar Minorca, below, there was less to oppose the French in going up the Mediterranean, than in coming down. We may, therefore, conclude that the ultimate object of the French and Spanifli navies, in the expedition which they have com menced, is not in that sea. It is presum able, it was the design of the French, when they failed from Brest, to join the Spaniards in Cadiz harbor, but the appear ance of the English off there, being more formidable than was expected—and fearful of meeting with Bridport in attempting to return, they embraced the best chance in pushing for Toulon. Subsequent event has afforded an opportunity for the com bination which was at firft fought—and the united naval forces of France and Spain have returned into the Atlantic Ocean. When Don Mafleredo failed from Cadiz for the straits he mull have left behind him ieveral ships of the line, which may now fail with the coalesced sleet—these, with the Cenfeur, (French ship which flop ped at Cadiz, being damaged) we mav conclude, will augment the fleet to fifty fail of the line. The more we reflect on the news relative to the fleets, the more we are surprised that the Englifti had not pafled out the straits to the 20th of July. 14 days had then elaps ed after the French and Spanifli had pas sed; 21 days after their failing from Car thagena ; at least 28 days after the arrival of the French at Carthagena, and proba bly 34 after their failing from Toulon. OFFICIAL. The following documents, which were politely handed us by captain Preble, in a printed copy, printed at Carthagena, in the Spanish language, are inconteftiblc proofs that the French fleet had reached Cartha gena, and failed from thence, in conjunc tion with the Spanifli armada.

French Republicans. BEING at last united to our faith ful allies, we are about soon to chastise perfidious England, and revenge Europe, fcouraged by her; however convinced I may be of the sentiments you have profef led for your courageous friends, I think it nay duty to invite you to prove to them, by all the means in your power, the since rity of tnefe sentiments. I think it equally concerns your coun try and your honor to give the highest opi nion of us to a nation that esteems us; this word ought to be fufficient for French men. Above all, do not forget that you are come among a loyal and generous peo ple, and our moll; faithful allies. Refpeft their cuitoms, usages, religion : and final ly let all be sacred to you ; think that if you should deviate in the least from what I now order you, it won 1 be a crime in the eyes of the’French Republic, and that lam here to punish it. But on the con trary, I believe you will give me the l'weet fatisfaftion of having nothing but enco miums to pay on your conduct, and be persuaded this will be my greatest reward. E. BRUIX. Spanish Admiral’s proclamation. A great cause induces to combine the naval forces of the king our matter with those of the French Republic. This na tural and happy alliance is the only check that can be put to the inveterate intentions of Great Britain to enslave the seas. There can be no other means but that their na vies fliould make a proper effort to support the dignity of two great nations. The principle of a good combination, which is fraternity and reciprocal esteem, is lb well rooted in Spaniards and Frenchmen, as has already been seen on other occasions, ef pecidly in the war from ’79 to 83, that I think it unneceflary to commend their ob servance in the fleet under my command. But in order to secure it I mutt recom mend the mod exaft discipline in the crews. f\nd the confidence I place in my worthy subaltern-admirals, commanders and officers of the ships, and in the refpeft and bravery of the soldiers and faiiors, makes me hope with exquisite latisfa&ion the glorious effefts of the combination.

The brig Hannah, captain Norris, ar rived here on Sunday last, in 58 days from Cadiz—By him we are informed, that an express arrived at Cadiz a day or two be fore he failed, with the intelligence that the French and Spanish fleets under Admi ral’s Bruix and Maflaredo, were blocked up in Carthagena by the Britilh fleet com manded by Earl St. Vincent. After the arrival of the French fleet at Toulon, the Britilh fleet failed for Minorca. The French Admiral availed himfelf of this op portunity to attempt a jun&ion with the Spanilh fleet at Carthagena, where the French fleet arrived the 22d June, but ow ing to the disabled state of the Spanifli fleet, were not able to put to sea, before they were again blocked up by Lord St. Vin cent, who arrived before that place on the 25th June. The coalesced powers,through the court of Portugal, had given the Spa nifli government 20 days to determine whether they would abandon their alliance with France—if not, hostilities were to be commenced with vigor immediately. PORTSMOUTH, Auguflji. Capt. Charles Blunt, of the Dianni, arrived here on Wednesday last, in 24 days from Trinidad. He in'orms that two days after he leu Trinidad, he was taken by a French privateer l tter of marque from St. Th»mas’s bound to Guadaloupe, who took out the mate and one seaman; C . pt. Blunt and four others feigning themselves lick were left on board, in care ot a prize master and four stout hands ; who were ordered to proceed for St. Euftatia, and fell the prize, remitting the neat proceeds to Guadaloupe. But Capt. Blunt having preconcerted the l’chcme of recapture, came upon deck on th* morning of the 7th of August, and feiling on a cutlass, at the fame moment that one of his han ls feifed a mulkef, they began to try the fortune of War. A blow from the but end of the mulket fettled Mr. Helmsman pretty quick ; but riling again, Capt. Blunt aimed a se cond stroke with the cutlass and quieted his bowels. The prize master coming aft to help his man, was obliged to surrender also : and by the afiiftance of the rest of the crew and a paffengar the remainder of the French were secured. Capt. B. gave him his long boat, their chests, some provisions, and water and set them out on a new cruise to find land. Af ter they were put into the boat, they told Capt. B. that he was a damn’d brave fellow, thanked him for his humanity, and wilhed him fafe to port.— Capt. Blunt then made the bell of his way for port, and every true American bids welcome to the naval hero. His gallant con Just merits a good Ihip.
