, iJOWm ZLTIE, March 16. rpH£ young son of La Fayette arrived at Hamburgh I fome days since. He Is from Philadelphia, and las come through Paris, ■where lie was favorably received by the moll influential characters of the Republic. He is on his way to Kolflein to visit his parents, whom he has not Fcen fincc their liberation from tlie dungeons of Auftria.* The health of La Fayette is much improved, but that of his wife is fill very much deranged. Paris, April 6. We are allured that Buonaparte is to proceed to fome unknown part of our coast in five or fix day * What is astonishing is, that fome pretend it will be the Mediterranean, even for Toulon; however improbable this ronjc&ure may be, it is .certain that fome of our Ge nerals have repaired to Toulon with great expedition; that maritime preparations have been made there with the utmost celerity; that 10,000 troops are now there, or will soon arrive, and that they are immediately to embark. We do not know what to think of the report of an ex pedition into Egypt, even with the consent of the Grand Seignior,’ who is to be difincuiubercd of certain intra&able Pachas, and to whom, on these conditions, it is proposed to guarantee residue of his dominions. We do. not know how far hopes are entertained of approaching India*, or in this way attacking the Britifli power. We do not know what can be tlie obje& of an expedition ©f 50 philosophers, dispatched by Government, and fur nifhed with a great quantity of inftrunicnts for making dis coveries, and evidently intended for a remote which it fetms is concealed even from themselves. We cannot difeover why fome arc embarked at T oulon, and fome at Boundeaux; but we know that the public is much agitated, that the moll aClive minds appear not to have solved the problem of these perpetual movements, that projeCls follow projects, that if the mcan3 sometimes change’ the objeCl is ever tlie fame; and w lravc been taught by uninterrupted experience not to coufider as fabulous designs tlie moll gigantic and extraordinary in appearance. London , April 2. Advice was yesterday received in town that the Stag cutter, of 14 ,guns, Lieut. Worth, Rationed off Cadiz, has captured a very large Spanish (hip, of- about 600 tons burthen, bound from the Manillas to • Cadiz, laden with a valuable cargo, glides a large quan tity of money, tlie whole supposed to be worth upwards of 1 00,0001. When the letters came away (he was under tlie escort of five fail of the line, bound to Gibraltar., April 10. Citizen Grouville, the French Envoy at Copenhagen, has prevailed on tlie Court to command the fuppreflion of the Croix de St* Louis worn by Emigrant ©dicers. Grouville has also demanded a loan of 6,000,000 of Danifli marks, and this also it is believed lie will obtain. The French haye demanded a 44,000 ducats from the King of Naples, and they have-also demanded that the Cardial York (hall be delivered up to them.. April 12. Tliere are letters by tlie last China fliips to persons of the firll authority here which mention that the revolution there is likely to be fupprelTed by the exertion of more vigorous meafurcs. The ybjeft is not that frantic, equalizing system pursued in France, ot plunder and rob bery, under tlie names of Reform and Liberty, but the re floration of tb native Gbinefe Monarch*, de posed by the Tartars. Tbe prefeat Emperor ts the sth of the Tartar race. He was so depressed by the advantages gained‘by the rebel over his own l artar troops that in a fit of despair he swallowed poison, and was very ill when the difpatche? came away. . r The ci devant Emperor was in good health when theie letters were written. He resigned his throne according to a vow he made when he afeendod it. A French journal contains the following character or the youths of Paris: j A . ■ Tliey arc mean, idle, gluttonous, envious, detractive, credulous, and as much the slaves ot ennui themselves as the cailfe of it in others; insolent and gross in their behavior tow;T Is women; cowardly, embarraffeil in their behavior with Patriots; presumptuous and enterprising when in a mass; fools aud affrighted when alone. Should they con tinue ten years as they are they will be tlx: opprobrium, the lharae, the kand*l, and the refufe, of the French Na. April- 14. Oa Sunday morning last Mr. Flood the Magistrate, attended by Mr. Reeves, one of the Clerks of the Bowftreet Office, atid Carpmcal and Dowcett, two of the Runners, and accompanied by three of his Majesty’s Mdfrngers, frt off for Manchester, for the purple of ap prehending fome persons implicated in a charge of treafon ablc prattices. They reached Manchester on Tuesday ev ening, and on Wednesday morning 13 perlons were appre hended, aoiongft whom are laid to be two merchants ot fome refpeftability, two fens of Cowdroy the printer, one Chectham a cotton spinner, and one Fry a tailor. The whole arrived last night iu tftwa under an efcprt of light, horse. Five hundred Hand of ar were likewise found. It is said that tlie information occalioned tlie ap prelanfion of these men was given in confequtnce of a quarrel among the party, which ‘im furniflied a due to great difcoverics. ( I: was expe&ed that the above persons would undergo an examination before the Privy Council this day. Proofs of a deep and molt dangerous conspiracy to aid tlie enemy in their attempts at invading this country are every day becoming more manifeft* Very important clil coveries have, we underfiand, been made in consequence of tlie arrest of the persons at Mancheifter, and who are now under examination at tlie Privy Council. A conficlerable number of the military in that neighborhood had been sworn by an Allocation at Manchester, profeffing to have for their objeifl a parliamentary reform. Tlie purport of the oath impifed upon the deluded soldiery was, that if Go vernment perillted in opposing a parliamentary reform, they would, in case of the landing'of the enemy, revolt from their officers. This Society at Manchester has been in constant correlpondence with the United triihmen, and like wile with tlie Government of-France. Their treafon abie arts have bcen.praililtd chiefly upon those corps com posed of Scotch and Iriih. These deluded men will, we trull, become fenfihle of tlieir crime, and atone for it bv a more zealous discharge of their duty for the tinvto come. In tlie lining of the coat of one of the persons seized at Man chester it is said that a paper has been found fe-ved up, con taining iaftniClions to th* French how to ad on their land ing, pointing out the tverkeft part of tlx* coast, and advilmg , them of the support winch tliey were likely to meet with. In the prelent (Inge of this molt iuterelbng butinefs we deem it improper U> puhliili all tlie circumstances that have come to our know ledge”. The difeovery lias been provi dential, arid we doubt not but the cotifequenrcs w’fll lead to the future lecurityafid tranquillity ot the country,. The detection, as we have been informed, was made by a soldier who had been sworn in; he formed one of a party which was marching from Manchester to Derby. 1 his man had been intruded by the leading conspirators with 300 guineas for the purpofe-of extending corruption to the military at the latter place. The mart got drunk on his march, and, whether from remorle of confidence, br in the wuntonnefs of intoxication, we know not, lie made a confellion of the buliuefs in which he was engaged, and thus fome ol tlie perlons im plicated were difeove-ed* ■ A letter from Manchester, dated Tliurlllay last, after deferibing tlie consternation iiito which the town had been thrown by the arrests which took place the day before, fays, “ I understand that at this moment tliey are arreiting leveral soldiers in the’ barracks.” A morning paper fays, “We understand Government fome time ago received certain information that persons were swearing in at Manchester on the plan ol the United Iriflimen. This had gone so far that 150 soldiers in 011 c regiment were fwom in, bclides a great many inhabitants in that town and neighborhood, and the fyflam was making a rapid progress. We are not prepared to fay whether swearing in the soldiers, &(. is tlie offence with which these persons (the 13 who have been amfted) are acculed; nor do we think it proper at this time to lay before the public all the particulars that have reached us. We ftiall only express our fears that the country is in a very perilous situation, threatened from without by a desperate and for midable enemv, and menaced at home by too many (few . indeed, blit flili too mm,, ) who we fear are disposed to favor tlieir designs. We have lieajtl of desperate and a larming projects. Govtinment cannot be too vigilant, nor can the people be too much alive to their situation at this moment.” The Achilles, of 44 guns, was launched yesterday at Gravefend. Madame Camhray, aged 68, an inhabitant of the com mune of Caftillon fur Dordogne; has been fufely delivered of a fine boy: the father of tbe infant lias completed• hia 78 th year. Tbe Romifh Jews have denominated Buonaparte tlie Mcjjial) of Italy. The miracles he has performed certainly juftity the title. April 16. Our cruisers have received orders which on an ordinary occasion would not have been relorted to, to capture or destroy even the filhing boats of the enemy. Thri rtiea fure is jultificd by prei’ent circumstances; for, as the French mean to employ even fiiiall craft in tlie transport service, • it becomes the duty of Government to employ every means in their power to destroy tliem. The American Eagle, Brooks, from Charleston to Lon don, is taken and carried into St. Martin’s, Ille de Rhe. The Lydia, Ainlilell, from CuarlefUm to Hamburgh, is taken and catried into lliefl. Plymouth , April 16. Arrived a schooner and three Frencli Blips, privateers, iVom Falmouth, which have been captured and carried in thither by the woftern squadron. Yarmouth , ‘April 16. Commodore M*Douall having received information that a large fleet of filhing vtflelsj &c., were about to proceed for Holland, made a lignal to go between them and the land, which was gifedted, and by these means he captured 26 filhing boats all well fillied, and two hoys? laden with merchandiic; seven others were burnt; tliey were all under Dutch colors. The Mailer of one ot the filhing boats from Scheveling fays that in his country there is nothing at prelent but dillrefs; hy-and his family, w ere frequently obliged to give up their beds in’ die middle of the night to the ibldiers. Sometimes tie’ from Iz, to 20 quartered on him; and these guests, wherever they’ came, always coniidered themselves at home. Sixteen ot the Dutch filhing boats are now in our harbor; the remainder are expedted every hour. ‘ : * Injlcad of two boys , the letter received at Lloyd's, fays three merchantmen have been captured* NASSAU, (New Providence) ‘June 19. 1 YESTERDAY his Majelly’s Hoop L ? nx, Capt. IIa.!l, a;lived here in 17 days from Ikrniuda, with the Frencli privateer schooner L’lfabelle, from Porto Rico, which ftie took on the 13th inflant. This privateer, not more than 25 tons burthen, and mounting only two iron guns, lately made leveral cap tures; among them, tlie American flap Kitty, from New York for Jamaica; the American brig New Yorlj for Barbados; and th© Englilh brtg from St. Cliriftopher for Newfoundland. She also attacked an armqjl brig with anotlier uja ier coffvoy, but was obliged th llieer bff. Yesterday alfp arrived, a Spanifli cartel febooner from Havana, with tbe qffictft and trtws oi the Ranger and Dmimore private: rs of this port, which have lately been captured by two French privateers. June 22. Yesterday armed here, Tlie ftiow Minerva, Ross, from London and Madeira. 1 ‘• 1 ‘l'he Minerva failed on the lift of April from Spithead with the Quebec fleet, umfcf convoy ot tlle'Nemelis tri gate; and on the 15 th of May froul with tbe Weft India fleet, under convoy ot the Alarm frigate. A letter from London, dattcl tlx; 14th of April, and font on board the Minerva by express, has brought to a gentle man of this town tlie acceptable information df two tickets pure ha fed . him in the EngliQi State Lottery having come up prizes, one of 161. the other of 20,cock On Tuesday his Worlhip the Judge of tlie Court of Vice Admiralty pronounced his decree in the case ol the American Grip Maria, Young, from La Vera Cruz for Rhode liland. , Hie cargo, conlifting of cochineal, lugar, &c. was condemned to the captors, ujxm the ground of the Mailer’s refufing to answer tie standing intefftfgatorfrs, and only claiming die different adventures of himielf and people, together with tlie Grip- It also came out “Upon the trial, from the papers invoked in the caul’e, that the pro perty condemned really belonged to a Spaniard, named Quintliia. and; that the person-appearing; to be the owner had only lent his naine as a deception. _ June 26. On Saturday the American hrig Hedlor M‘Kinny, from Cluo-Mb- for Havana, with naval ftorcs and other contraband ai. *'s, was brmighrin here by the privateer George, Nickt. , On Sunday arrived the brig Mercury", Mitchell, from Falmouth, Cork-, and Madeira. June 29. While the Mtrcury, Mitchell, lay at Cork, in the middle of April, a body of about 3000 German 1 troops, in Britifti lerviec, was landed there from a 64 gun ship and several frigates. The decilive uicafurcs referred to by Government in Ireland are dictated by the moll imperious necelfity; and the prevailing opinion of the bell informed there was, that they would effectually fruftrate the revolutionizing schemes of the French parti fans in that country.
