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.

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.
