V IUiC N packet has juft arrived from
ffl?cVpool —bringing London pa
pers to the 6th Sept.
In a paper of the sth it is re
peated, that France and Auftria had
concluded a peace. That Auftria
furrrnders a great part of her Ter
ritory. That Francis is to iofe his
title of Emperor and take that of
king of Hungary and Bohemia ; &
that Napoleon adds to his other ti
ll ;s that of Archduke of Auftria.—*-■
- So far the report ; and we think it
mere bubble. Paris Monitettrs to
the 22d of Augufl make no men
tion of a treaty being concluded,
and that the negotiations of it were
not to be opened in Hungary until
the 15th of Augufl:. And a Lon
don paper of the 6th is blent on
the fubjedt.
The expedition to the Scheldt
was returning. A great number of
the troops had arrived in England,
prmci pally cavalry, the horles of
winch had not been landed. Lord
Chatham flares as the caufe of the
abandonment of the ulterior ob
jedls, the impra&icabhity of an at
tempt upon Antwerp from the
great number of troops afllmbled
ia defend it; and from the ficknefis,
the effeti: oT the climate, which be
gan to be felt in his army. A f.,jrce
(15,000) is left in the ifiand of
Walcheren fufficient to fecure that
important poffiffibn. The papers
* are loud in cbndemning the Earl of
Chatham for his dllarorinefs aid
want of energy. It is ft.ued that
the army is to be employed on a
frefh'expedition; and that the or
ders were tranfmitted on the fdurth
from the admiralty to Zealand, on
the fnhjeiT. The troops are to be
provifinned for one month. Some
accounts (peak of great inundations
in the country bordering on the
Scheldt.
The accounts from Spam, by
this arrival, are not fo late as thofe
we have received direct from Ca
diz and Liftnn. But we have re
ceived the official letters of General
WelltfLy, of his retreat from Ta
lavera, the reports of which we
have before communicated. All
the BrVufh wounded, excepting
aoco, were left to the French.-

Eg (reft of a letter to the Editor of the
Mercantile Adverfi/er, dated By

“ This morning arrived here the
Jhip Paik-t, Fiel.i, from Liver

“ The Biltiih expedftfon has a
bandoned its citfign upon Antwerp
and tiie French fleet in tue Scheldt.
The reaib.QS given for tins abandon
ment are, the great force which the
French and Dutch had colle&ed in
oppofitioh, the inuncladqn and iLk
nefis of the troops, of whom 5000
are faid to be on the lick liftA—
Many of the troops had returned to
England, including ail the cavalry,
rone of which had been landed at
ali in Zealand. A garrifon was
left at Flulhing, and there were ru
mors of an attempt to be made on
Hclvoetfluys and Wi’liamftad;, and
of another deftination to a part of
the expedition. The failure of the
project oh the Scheldt excited much
difeontent in England ; lome bhm
ing the Miniftry, others the Com
mander in Chief, and a court mar
tial was talked of with all the free
dom of remark and irwefrive which
diftingtiifhes the English pre(s.
tc It is reported that the prelimi
naries of*peace between France and
Auftria are agreed on; and that
plenipotentiaries were to meet at
Okenbu.g, in Moravia, on the
of Auguß, to fettle the definitive
articles. Champagny and a Ruij
flan envoy had already gone chi
thtr.
Sir Arthur Wellefley's officijl
difpacches to the Bth of Augufl: had
been pubiifhed. He reflects, b?it
delicately, oh Cuefta. The Frenca
accounts of occurrences in Spa n
down to Auguß Bth or 10th give
very florid reports of their fucceli
es to chat time, which muft be very
much exaggerated. The French
on the 7th Auguß took the fort if
Montjere, appertaining to city <j>f
Gcrona. Jc was not fubendered lly
che brave Spaniards until the r[Feels
of the feige had rendered the place
untenable. The garriibn retreated
in fafetv to the city. The French
fay Gcrona in aft furreader in a few
days.
“ Neutrals are fat cl to be now

(< There are rumors under the
head of Turin, Auguß 2, that all
American veflcls at Naples, Ceviia-
Vecchia, and Leghorn, ate lequef

at Baltimore, invalidates this. It
is added that no mot e Americans,
even direct from home, with colo

London, Sept, a.—The French
had colleded their forces from ev

overwhelming the Britifl) army.—
Their numbers were eftimated as

Vtdlor and Jourdao, 33,000 men
—Suchet, who had advanced from
Afragon to Madrid, 6,000 men—
Ney, Morcier and Soult, 30,000
men—making in the whole 74,000
men. The Britifli army with its
reinforcements, amounted to about
24,000 men—Cuefla’s to about 33,
000 —Beresford’s to 12,000 — ’Ve
negas’s to 25,000—and Sir R. Wll
- to 3000, making together
$7,000, a force numerically greater
than thac of the French ; but the
Spanifh and Porttiguele new levies
cannot, w e fear, be confide red as
equal to the French in the field.

LIVERPOOL MOB.
That the taking down of the Ame
rican fags in Liverpool on the yth of
July , was a preconcerted bufinefs , will
appear from the following fafts com- \
wan:rated by a gentleman lately ar
rived in this city, who was an eye
witny's to the proceedings.
l( About the middle of June our in
formant feeing a mob collected in the
ftreet, drew near and Jaw three or
four men beating a Dutch faihr who
belonged to an American veffel, while
a number of byfianders were exclaim -
ing cc that's right boys'—bit the d—d
Yankee They at length let him go,
Jwearing that on the \th of July they
would let the Yankees feeJomething.
Some days previous to the 4 tk, three
carpenters were at work on board an
American veffd ; one of them ajked
the ethers if they would work on the
4tb •, he was anfwered, that on the
ringing of a bell, they mujl all repair
to the Queen's dock, and they would
get work there.
On the 4fth about r r o'clock fam e
bells near the docks began to ring , and
continued till one , three cheers were
then given, on which a cuftom of leer
on board an American Jhip objerved,
that the boys had began their work,
and there would be feme fun. About
this hour the mob had collefted and
began to take down the American
flags , tearing every thing to pieces
where they met with oppoftion.
Capt. Story , of Boflon, lafioed the
hpulyards of the colors to his bou
and drew his cutlajs, declaring thr.”
he would fooner die than let his colors
be taken do wn. The mob , intimidated
by his determined manner, kept aloof,
and began to throw brickbats, billets
of wood, &c. at bin, fame of which
finking him, be fell. They then en
countered him en maflk ; beat him in
a cruel manner ; tore of part of his
clothes, and left him almofi dead.
The Prefident Adams, cf Bofion,
had a liberty tree painted on canvafs
and boified along with the flag , ihefe
they tore into pieces, tied them round
their hats and legs, and dragged feme
cf them through the mud, exclaiming ,
“ Let the damn’d Yankees come
now and fupport their indepen
dence.”
Proceeding from Efuecns to King's
dock, they were met by the Mayor at
the head of 8 or 1 o Joldiers, who fee
ing that the mob had began to throw
/tones, quietly withdrew, leaving them
to terminate the bufinefs as they tho't
proper. In this manner they kept ‘it
up, as they called, till about fix in the
evening, when the American Jailors
began to colleft in a body, determined to
cppoje them, and < revenge the injult
done to their com try. It was now
that the Mayer, faring that fame of
his majefiy's Jubje.fis might get black
