K "E Jpril 28. Violent altercations are said to have
1 niCre between the French Ambassador and the Arch
duke Charles. Things, it was said, were carried to such
a lerrn.ii that the Emperor was obliged to lend the Arch
duke out of the way, and make him leave Vienna for a
‘ C \pril-o. The late event; at Vienna have spread the
-rested consternation at Raftadt. It is much to be
tended that they will give rile to a war which will involve
? i) Germany in ruin, h appears that Bernadotte is already
vj'ivcd at Raftadt.
troubles of the Swiss cantons dill continue, particu
larly in the neighborhood of the lake of Constance. On the
-■jd of Germinal (April 12) 500 peasants attacked the
town of Arbon and massacred the Members of the confti
tutcd authorities. . _ ‘
London , May 2. The associations in the cities cl
London and Westminster are become so numerous that it
is calculated that at the end of the present month there will
be upwards of 40,000 armed perlons in the metropolis only
independent of the regulars. Those who enlist comprehend
all descriptions of rank from the peer to the artisan.
The disturbances at Vienna having in the present crisis
much agitated the public mind, we are happy to add the
following extract from another letter relative to that event,
dated April 14* - , _ ..
“ Count Fergen, Minister of State and General Police,
has iflued the following proclamation, re inciting the affray
which yederday took place in and before the French Am*
baffador’s palace:
“ Flis Majtfty the Emperor has received, with the ut
most fatisfaction, the various proofs of loyalty and attach
ment manifefted by the good citizens of this metropolis on
so many occasions since his accefiion to the throne; and
these proofs are the more plealing to his paternal feelings,
as they were always attended with love of order, propriety
of conduit, and a peaceful demeanor. For the fir it time
his Majetty learned yelterday, to his great displeasure, that
feme inhabitants of this’ capital, deviating from the path of
lawful order, and led affray by an ill judged zeal, allowed
themselves to fcommit several acts of violence in the house
of the French Ambassador, and to disturb the public tran
quillity and peace. His Majesty expects that from this
moment no well disposed citizen, either direitly or indi
reitly, will encourage * any farther assemblage, but on the
contrary will exert himfelf to the utmost extent of his abi
lities to restore order and tranquillity. But if, contrary to
liis expeftation, any inhabitant of this city flionld attempt
again to disturb the peace of their fellow citizens, the fame
{hall be prosecuted and punished according to the utnioft
rigor of the law.”
The Directory, it would appear, with to avoid committing
themselves upon the bufinels at Vienna until they I hall have
had more time to deliberate; for the Redacteuv is silent
rabe&ing the official steps that have been taken in coni’c
t. r. nce of the affair, and the unofficial journals only have
been resorted to for the purpole of proclaiming to France
tie lively sorrow of the Court of Vienna in consequence
of a lawless act of the Nobility, which it altogether disa
vows!
A letter from Raftadt, of the. 21st of April, dates, that
on tire Bth a treaty of offenfive and defenfwe alliance was
concluded and fignei between the Emperor and the King
of Prulfia. It is not, however, conceived that this alliance
has for its object the renewal of a continental war. Its
only object is to concert measures refpectmg the indemnities
to Ire required by the two Courts of Germany, and to op
pose with combined force the propagation of Republican
principles on the right bank of the Rhine and left of Ger
many. It is also dated that Gen. Hatry’s army has passed
over to the right bank of the Rhine, and that the Prullians
and Helfians have likewise made several military movements.
May 7. We are happy to state the arrival of Sir Syd
ney Smith, who reached the Admiralty yeftefday afternoon,
at a quarter part one o’clock, in a poll chaise, from Ports
mouth, (to which place he made his escape from France on
Saturday evening, in a as astonishing a3 it w w
for unite) accompanied by Mr. Wright, his Clerk, and a
French Emigrant, who were confined in the fame prison
with him, namely, the Temple, at Paris. The circum*
fiances attending their fortunate escape, as far as we have
been able to collect them, were as follow: The three pri
soners were ordered by the Executive Directory to be re
moved from the capital to another part of the country,
Alter travelling in a carriage a few leagues they came to
2 small totvn, where there was a serious election riot,
Wiiich the Municipal Officers in vain attempted to quell.
The guard over the captives were called upon to assist,
while the drivers and all the inhabitants were directing their
whole attention to the tumultuous scene palling. This
fuvoraole moment was seized by the prisoners, who left the
coacn and elcaped out of the town. The Emigrant knew
the country; lie through by-roads, and in the
night they took shelter in a wood. In this way they tra
velled upwards of 100 miles, calling only at feme oil feu re
wine houses to refrelh themselves. Sir Sydney’s perff.<ft
knowledge of the French language, and his unembarrassed
behavior, secured them from suspicion, and facilitated their
escape. At length they reacted the coast, which the Emi
grant was well acquainted with. In a small creek they
found an open boat with oars, into which they inftantjy
jumped, and put to sea .without loss of time. After tugg
ing and rowing till they were almost worn out tiie Argo
frigate, Capt. Bowen, hove in light, to whom they made
tne best ngnals in their power, and happily they were taken
up, and lafely landed at Portsmouth on Saturday evening,
from which place they immediately set off for town. On
their arrival at the Admiralty an express was sent off to
arl Spencer at bN imbleton, who came to town irrtmedi
utely. His Lofdfliip warmly congratulated Sir Sydney on
is ewape, and invited him to dine with him; previous to
..-ueu ite enterprifmg Knight paid a- vrfit to the Prince of
ate . and the Duke ot b ork. Sir Sydney is in good
* - H, but his appearance is in fome degree indicative of
.everidcs he has endured.

Uened to fumifli his waggons and tents to Gbvernmenti

forage all his neighbors and tenants to aifift with their

’A meeting \vas held at Newmarket on Sunday last, after*
divine service, for aiding Government in case of invasion,
purluant to the regulations of Mr. Dowlas's defence bill,
when die inhabitants all came forward in a very laudable
manner for that purpose, and moft of the laborers offered ,

may be deemed necessary.

The farmers of the parifii of Tarvin, in Chess Ire, have

able horses and drivers, for the service of Government, free

The French prop’ ,etefs Labrouffe, who went’ to Rome in
1792 to predict to the Pope his approaching downfall, was
by his orders imprisoned in the castle df St. Angelo, from
which (lie was released by the Roman revolution. But the
refufed to quit Rome till the year 1800, before which time
she foretels that events will come to pass still more extra
ordinary than those which we have witnessed. Such pre
dictions are easy and fafe in an age of wonders.
ExtraSh of a letter from Yarmouth, May 7.

lavm by the landing of a large party of seamen from the
Proserpine frigate, who with cutlasses and pistols assaulted
the inhabitants, and carried off 53, of all descriptions; a
