LONDON, September 20.
By a letter from Lubec, re
ceived by the left ijjail, it ap
pears, not only that a large Ruf
fian force, above 60,000 men,
are expected in that neighbor
hood, who are to be dViembark
ed near Travemundc, but time
an English army is expected at
the fame time on the banks of
the Wefer. Evcry_ effort is
making to cfbablifli magazines,
&c. previous to their arrival.
September 21.
It is fated in an Evening Pa
per, that as soon as a jun&ion
ihall have taken, place between
the Ruffian and Austrian armies,
a manifefto will be published on
the part of the Armed Neutral- >
xty, as the alliance between the !
two imperial courts is denomi
nated. The following are given
as the conditions upon which j
Aufaria and Rufiii will conient,
and procure the conient of Eng- i
land, to a general pacification : ‘!
f< France is Cos evacuate all j
Italy, Piedmont, Switzerland, &
Holland, into which, as well as
’ Germany, no French troops
are, upon any pretext, to pene
trate. The offenfave and de
fend ve treaty between France &
Spain, of 1796, is to be dißeiv
ed, and the latter kingdom, as
well as Portugal, is to have its
independence restored. The
left bank of the Rhine, and the
Alps and Pyrenees are to be the
boundaries of the French em
pire, which cannot, for the fu
ture, be paßed in time of peace
without being confiiderecf by the
Armed Neutrality as a declara
tion of war. The powers form
ing the Armed Neutrality, and
the future league of pacification,
are, be Tides Russia and Aufaria,
to con fill of England, Turkey,
Denmark, Sweden, Saxony, Na
ples, Sardinia, Lombardy, 1-
truia, Spain and Portugal.—
1 iedmonc is to be restored to
the king of Sardinia ; Lombar
dy, with Parma and Piacenza,
are to be eroded into an • inde
pendent kingdom, in favor of

all the confederate princes are to
acknowledge Bonaparte as Em
peror of the French, and Eng
land is to reliore Malta to the
Order; Russia will evacuate the
Seven Elands, and as well as the
other States, refped the inde
pendence and gaurantee the in
tegrity of the Tiirkifli Empire.”
Bonaparte ahfolutely refufes
to Bavaria, Wurtemburg and
ITefTe-Darmfladr, the permifllon
to remain neutral. Ile in fids
that they fliall be treated by
France as enemies, if they re
fufe to join him. He has alrea
dy put all their arms, artillery,
ammunition arid other faores
for war, under requisition.
The tlettor of He fie Caflel
•s supported by Prufaia in his
refulal to dismiss Mr. Tavlor
fom his court, or to grant the
loan of a million sterling which
Bonaparte demanded from him.
Certain • intelligence has been
received, that the French have
evacuated Luncburg and Lauen
burg, and that the ! eft bank of
the Elbe is entirely denuded of
French troops.
Reports are faill contradidlo
ry refpedfing the defamation of
the armament now fitting out in
the Downs. In sass one of the
objedts in fitting it out is, that
its real defamation being kept a
secret, the enemy may be the
more difaradted in fettling the
distribution of his forces.
The commander has not yet
been appointed ; and if we may
credit the rumours that arc cir
culated, it will be no ealy matter
to adjust this point to the fat if
fade ion of all parties. We hope
that on the present occasion the
maxim of the Romans will not
be violated —“ Never employ
an unfortunate Generah howe
ver great his abilities, how deer
high his rank .” refpeft
ability attaches to minifaers, &
wc ardently hope they will nor
compromise the fafery of a fine
army, the success of rheexpea;-
tion and the welfare of the coun
try, by liftenmg to claims which
ought to be disregarded. Some
of the troops that were under
orders for embarkation have, i;
is reported, been countermand

NORFOLK, Oduber 23.
On Saturday arrived here the
ship Susan and Sarah, Captain
Marner, from Bordeaux having,
touched at New-port, Cape.
M. left all his capers except
one, a Bordeaux paper of the
ioth September, at New-Port,
with that he has favoured us,
from which, and the informati
on of Capt. Marner, we prelent
our readers with the foilewing
faimmary :
War with Aufaria was no
declared when Capt. M. laded,
but was deemed inevitable ; a
the French armies, were march
ing in great force towards tk’
| Aufarian front.ers, and it was

had occupied Naples.
The invasion lo long talked
of, has terminated as it com
menced, in talk only. The
camp at Boulogne was broken
op about the lafa of August, &
90,000 men in 3diviiions march
ed for the Rhine.
On the Isa of September, fix
regiments of Chafaeurs and 3 of
Hufiars, palled through Lille,
and the next day the division
under the command of Mare
chal Davons compofcd of 20
regiments of infantry, palled
through the fame place, and the
paper adds, that feafeely a day
pa lies without considerable bo
dies of troops marching through
that place. We notice similar
movements in other parts of
France. Every thing announ
ces the moft adfive preparations',
for war on the part of that na
tion.
Os the preparations on the
part of Aufaria and Russia, the
paper which we have, lays very
little; we notice an article un
der the head of Venice,- of the
21 fa of Augufa, in which it is
Rated, that the Ruffian fleet at
Corfu, had failed to join another
fleet having a convoy, from the
Black Sei. The fortifications
of Venice were going forward
wirh the titmofl activity.
The combined fleets are fas
ted in the Momteur of the 3d of
September, to have failed from
Ferrol on the 14th of Augufa,
and to have arrived at Cadiz on
die 22d of the lame month,—
But no mention is made of that
fleet having failed again, as Ba
ted in the London papers re
ceived at New-York. Admi
red Colifngwood fays the Moni
teur, was ar anchor with four
ih'ps of the line, on the morn
ing that the combined fleet en
tered Cadiz. He retired to Gi
bialtar, having nearly been cap
tured.
The foregoing comprises
nearly all that we deemed wor
thy of notice in the paper which
we have received.

Caotain Cox, from Bermuda,
gives the following account of
lingular address and enterprise.
\ government schooner of 14
guns/ completely fitted out and
provisioned for a cruise of fix
months, was lying in the port
of St. George’s. On account
of fome circumfaances, it be
came neceflary to put the maf
ic r of a French privateer and a
bout fifteen of ins men on board
the schooner; they were’ not
confined in irons, and only a
corporal’s guard put over them,
[’he officers of the schooner were
mofaly on shore, and the i.eute
] iiant commanding dsrted on
I ihnre. The master of rhe pri
vateer took this occasion to 0-
ver-power the guard, whom he
confined below and then dre fling
nimieif in the uniform of the
ieutenanr, and ddgmfing ins
1 men, he got the fchoohei u*sd-.o
way, p.ill:d the ba:;-..: .t
out interruption, and giving <
cheers when he turned the point
oucofreach of the guns, he pro
ceeded on a cruile with a strong
er veil’d than he had loft, and
one more completely fitted.
The situation of the harbor,
: on account of the number of
! forts and cannon mounted i‘;i
, the different parts of the harbor,
and the difficulty cf the navi
gation of the channel, in home
places not more than two hun
dred feet wide, rendered this a
hazardous undertaking in the o
pen day. The Frenchman owes
we understand, his success to the
ftrid discipline of the guard
having charge of a piece of can
non at one of the alarm polls.—
One perion only had difeovered
the Frenchman in this business,
who Went with all speed to the
guard and told them the cir
cumstance, requt sting them to
fire and alarm the forts below ;
but this the guard refufed, al
ledging that they were ordered
never to fire, but by Orders of
the commandant—before the
commandant could be found the
Frenchman was clear of the
port
AUGUSTA, October 26.

from a gentleman cf refpcßibU
