Hoisteon. THURSDAY, Hfay 3. J A MAIL &-om Hamburgh and Paris papers to the IBU) ult. were received yesterday..It is stated in a letter from Antwerp, thut Admiral Truguet has received orders to sail with the fleet from Brest, which has 25,000 men on board, the first fair wind. This fleet, the ".same letter adds, is to proceed to Boulogne, there, to join the flotilla under Admiral .Bruix, which will carry from 80 to 100,000'men, 11 is certain that the most active preparations continue in the ports of France a.nd Holland for the invasion of this country. How- ever unpromising, the first Consul cannot entirely abandon the design; and even if it should never be put in .actual execution, lie must still seem to prepare for it. In a few words, every thing shews, the tyrant to be reduced to a most desperate situation. Accounts from the Hague mention the activity of our cruizers off the coast of Holland, and the con- tinual vigilance which is employed by the enemy to guard against that. spirit of enterprise which so peculiarly distinguishes them. p From Genoa it IS said, that Lord Nelson having received a reinforcement of several ships, meant to send a part of his fleet against Algiers, while the remainder blockaded the harbour of Toulon. Mr. Drake arrived at Augsburgh on the 4th of last month, on his way to Hamburgh, where he in- tended to embark for England; but since the Se- nate of Hamburgh has permitted domiciliary visits in that city, on the demand of the French Ambas- sador, we are not without our fears that the latter tnay require the arrest, of Mr. Drake on his arrival there. Mr. Spencer Smith was .on the 14th ult. left on his way to Triest, where he proposed em- barking for this country. The influence of the French Government over the Elector of Bavaria is manifested every day; the printer of the Bamberg Gazette has been sentenced to a fine and imprisonment, tor having ventured to make some observations in his paper, which were not considered as sufficiently respectful to the great nation. — The Swedish Ambassadpr's answer to Talley- rand's note upon the subject of Mr. Drake's corres- pondence has been published at Stockholm. 11 It is a mere formal acknowledgment, of the French Minis- ter's letter, accompanied with -a general assurance, that his Swedish Majesty will. alvvays. hear with re- gret of any act in violation of the law of nations.— The differences between the Court of Stockholm and the Government of France appear to be taking a serious turn. According to the last accounts, the Swedish Ambassador was about to depart from Paris, and to leave only a Charge d'AtTaires to fill his situation. Letters from the Russian, frontiers of the 12th ult. state, that a treaty of aliiance between Great Britain and Russia will, in all probability, soon be concluded, under the auspices of Count Marcow, v/hois now in high favour-with his Sovereign. Letters from Berlin state that the Prussian Minis- ter, Count Haugwitz, is disgraced, and, only pre- vented by indisposition from going to his estates jn Silesia, his place of exile. From this act of vi- gour and justice, it would seem that his Prussian Majesty is at length tired of Counsellors who are blinded or seduced by French intriguers. L Bonaparte receives daily reports; of the exami- nations taken before the Grana judge.; Moreau is imprisoned with greater strictness, and a gendarme never quits his apartmeot;-In some moment oi slumber he will perhaps share the fate of Pichegru. It appears by a variety, of concurring articles, that the Corsican's ambition is on the pquit of be- ing gratified with the title of JRmperor of the Gauls* The addresses up6n this subject speak a language that cannot be mistaken^ and it has, ho doubt, been suggested by the Government itself. It is also confidently" stated, that .Bonaparte's ne- phew Napoleon, the youngest, son of Louis Bona- parte, will be provisionally appoInted hIS successor, under the guardianship ofJosepb Bonaparte, The Legion of Honour is also to be declared heredi- tary the Legislative Body and the Tribunate to be united, and the Members to be divided into land- holders, literati, and cnmxnercial men, and their functions to be. continued for ten years. An insurrection has broken out in the Turkish provinces ofServia. The force of the insurgents.is said to be 30,000 men they have taken the towns of Schabatz and Rudnick by assault, and invested Belgrade. A Russian frigate with transports, haying 900 troops, has been permitted to pass th.e Dardanelles, for Corfu, and a second squadron is expected. With concern we relate, that the Hindustan, of 5t guns, carrying stores to Lord Nelson's fleet, has been burnt by accident at Lisbon.—The officers and crew, excepttour seamen, were saved. Sir Sidney Smith has again resumed his com- mand off but as all the gun-boats have left that place for Ostend and Boulogne, and the only frigate the enemy had has been' dismantled,. Furieuse, it is Supposed this active officer will be removed to some other. Station. FRIDAY, May 4, This morning arrived the Hamburgh mail due on Wednesday; also French papers to the• 21stult; and Dutch papers with accounts from Poris to the i 24th. ■ The Monitenr of the 20th contains a. message from the First Consul to the Senate, in which he informs them, that in consequence of his brother Joseph Btmaparte having expressed' a wish'to serve'-i in the army destined against'.England,he has ap- pointed him Colonel of the jLth regiment of the line, row-quartered on the ioibt of B<mlagne;rhis is the first mention we hm heard of Joseph Bona- parte's naar-tial -ardour or military prowess. jVIav nor his appointment and ^ti ion'at Doulogne have. a reference to the state ot atiairs ..on,this side the water? Bonaparte may have heard tliat Mr. Fox-is coming into power, and may imagine that the first act of his administration will'be td make peace with France. Under the pretence ot a inuitary' appoiiit- ment, Joseph may have been sent to. Boulogne to be more at h;Mid to enter into nesoeiations. The first act of the Consul, after the assumption of his new.dignity, will, it is SUHI. be to pardon Moreau, and to send him to pass the remainder of his life in exile at the Mauritius. .Madame Bonaparte, mother to. the'First Consul, has arrived at Rome; and her Son'Lncien- passed through Lyons on the 1'4-fh of April, going, it is thought, to Italy, on an important mission. The,Minister of War left Paris ibr the coast on the 14th of last month. A Boulogne articic, full *cf insolence and gasco- nade, states the strength and activity of the French flotillas, and- the alarm they occasion among our frigates, which always, retire at their approach.— The French soldiers arc compared to the Roman legions, who are represented as hvving been equally skilful on the,sea, as. on tiie land; it describes our tirrny as a crowd of.sriauut'Steturers, mechanics, and shopkeepers, which their battalions will quickly disperse.. Apprehensions begin to be entertained at Ma- drid; that Spain wiii not long remain neutral. Mr.' frere, and the Consul-General, Mr. Hunter, have both received explicit declarations, that English prizes are no longer permitted to be sold in Spanish i ports. Ail foreigners, by an ordinance of the 5th ot April, are ordered to <n'r't Madrid within thirty days, unless they can give satisfactory reasons tor remaining there. I, "It is stated in the New-York papers, arrived-to I. the ,'Sd of April, that the British forces have beefi withdrawn from tiie attack of Curacoa.

The public business of importance inparliatnent, which stood for this week, has been ueferredtill Monday, in consideration of the arrangements for the new Administration iiot-.beiiig- completed. Votes of thanks were moved in both Houses yes- terday, on account of our successes-i-n Incha, to Marquis Welleslev, Lord Clive; Jonathan Duncan; Esq. Generals Lake, St. John-, and Weliesley, the officers and troops, for their meritorious conduct. It was contended in the Commons by different Members, that this was not the: proper time; as Parliament was not yet satisfied respecting the jus- tice or policy of the war: and as a motion was even- intimated for an enquiry into that circumstance; It was answered that the present vote referred only to the military arrangements; and left the question of the justice or policy of the wax untoticheYl.' The motions were at length agreed In the -House of Lords the votes passed unanimously. Y, Hrs Majesty havins: been pleased to. appoin tChas. Cameron, Esq.

Paris'papers to the 22d ult. being one day later than those which; arrived yesterday, Vfere received this afternoon. They contain no information pi" importance, but are iillcd contemptible invec- tive and Calumny against Great-Britain and its Go- vernment.. An article from Paris, dated the 31st ult, states" that the French troops have evacuated Mole St. Nicholas, the last place they had in the island bf St. Doniingo.. Upwards of 1500 military conscripts have, been condemned as deserters within the last month by the several military commissions, and have been sentenced to irons and hard labour.

Letters from Copenhageft;state, that-all the "Da-; nish forces in the duchies of llolstein Arid Sleswig are t,a.be encamped eariv in the present month", under the immectiatc orders of the Prince Royal.— The French continue to collect liirge military depots on the Danish frontiers.

During^the ..remainder of:"the-, day the,weather was too tnictto.see them, but a distant cannonad§. was heard several, tunes; it is probable that the notUla. only tame out to ma- noeuvre, and returned into port in the evening.

Pd A private letter from Paris says, in dne part, Never was Bonaparte more etc tested, but never was his government more nrm or more powerful than at present;" and in another, It is believed that the coronation of Bonaparte will not take place before his birth-day, next August. The let- ter likewise states, that Muiat, Bacchiochi, Tal- leyrand, Hcrthier, Jourdan, and: some others, will beproctaimed, at the coronation, Princes of the Empire of the Gauls."—The coronation is not to be asno 0 at ithehns,. but in the church of Notre Dame, and the Pope will be invited to perform the ceremony! Nothing can shew the vanity and ibily of Bona- parte more than his apparent belief, that the crown of France after his death, will be suffered to remain in the fainily of a foreign usurper, who reigns only liv the terror he excites, and whose family are ren- dered odious by that terror." irfs^highly probable, that whatever arrangement may be made for "esta- blishing hereditary right in the family of. the de- tested Corsican, that family will, be coinpletely .overthrown, as soon as the happy tidings of his dcatlyire known to the people- who ^roan under his yoke. Colonel Joseph Bonaparte s'et off for Boulogne on the 25th to johi'his regiment. It is stated,"• in-letters front Marseilies, that a French privateer had captured and sent ih there ah English brig, with dispatches-ib-x- Lord Nelson, and a large sum in specie. Private letters state, that Mr. Frere, burlVIinister at the Spanish Court, has sent circular letters to 'all the British Consuls in Späih, stating, that, hay-" ing-received information that privateers were fitting out in several of the ports there, which he knew must be intended to act against English ships, he remonstrated wmi the .Court on fhs subject, and an order was accordingly issued, prohibiting the ccin- demnation of <Ulprizes zehutevt,ry in ajriy of the Spa- nishports.. .-TheSwallow privateer (of Plynioufth) of 18 guns, Capt.

There is also an article from VTenicc, fabri- cated we suppose at Paris, by which it is hoped to indupe a belief, on the part of the people of France, that the murder of the Duke cPEnghiten is consider- ed by neutral States-as tin act of justifiable vigour. jus C, Private letters from Bourdeaux state, that all the English, without exception, (many of whom have m been resident there for a great number of years) have been o'rdered ten leagues up the country. 'I The Swedish Government has ordered a number of gun-boats to be fitted out—they are to repair toT Straisund as sd'on as possible-—it should seem from this measure, as if Sweden were apprehensive of some attack from France, The French War Minister and General Soult are occupied in inspecting the troops encamped near Boulogne ibr whose embarkation every thing is ready.—Mean while the Inspector-General of the "artillery is gone betore to Flanders, to inspect all that belong to that department of the expedition. From the preparations made it is inferred, that the greater part of the forcedestined against England, is to sail from Boulogne, and that exertions will be" maile to assemble tho whole Flushing flotilla at that place. After the sailing- of the expedition, sufficient force shall be left at every point of the coast, for its detence a-eainst any attacks which the enemy might make,by v>'ay of diversion; or else _to serve for a second euLbarkation, in case the first should not be deemed sufficient to the perfect at- tainment of the plan of invasion. •' By the "American sljip General Green, arrived at froii-i Amsterdun, from whence she sailed eight days since, we lcain, that 1500 Dutch troops Were em barking at Alkniaar, and that 15,000 French troops were daily expected therefor the same pur- pose..

A private letter says, that General Lake's con- duct since he took the field against the Mahrattas, is the admiration of all the military men in that country. At the sige of Agra, when the army least expected to be put in niotion, he, at midnigfit, or- dered Col. Monson, Mr. Lucan, and two or three of, his staff, to be called up, andhaving consulted with, them on the mode of attack^ gave orders for, the party destined for this desperate conflict, to march out of the camp with, the greatest silence. Tbis, was done in so soldier-like a manner, that the eneiny nor the rest of the Ehglish army knew of his designs, until the roar of the cannon began.. If it had not been carried in this" manner;- and. kt that-particular time, it is thought it might have held ou.t for six months against all our force in In- dia. Ther6 were found in it twenty-five lacks of rupees in hard cash, and about fifteen or twenty niore were expected to be discovered. There was t Is a French General of Bonaparte's found in the fer- tress, with copies of all his correspondence-with the various Princes in the country, exciting them to take up arms against the English: ana it has been discovered that the soldiers who, Admiral Li- nois said in his dispatches home, were left by him at Pondicherry, turn out to be all officers of the first ability sent out in disguise as private soldiers, to be distributed amongst the armies of the va- rious Princes in the country. This was done too at a time when France had just concluded the treaty of Amiens, or, at least, while Lord Whit- )vorth was stiil in Paris. A failure in the crops has produced a scarcity of grain in several parts of India and the prices have been considerably enhanced in the province of Bernaus, and in the ceded provinces.

The Lord Chancellor went yesterday to Mr. Pitt, and returned with him in his carriage to the (itieen'y House, where Mr. Pitt was admitted to an audience: of his Majesty, witich lasted for nearly three hours.. In that, conljetetice, a plattpfa new Administration, pVeviously laid before the King by Mr. Pitt, which is said to have included" Mr. I ox and several of h'is friends, underwent a very full' and ample discus-, sion. His Majesty's remarks, upon it are under- stood to have been very-full and pointed, allClnevcr during the whole course ofhis life was his 'Majesty more competent to thelrànsaction of public* busi- ness. It is generally .believed that his, ""Specially objected to Mr. Fox, and. put this pointed question to.Mr..Pitt: W'ith what consistency can you propose the' introduction of Mr. Fox into the Cabinet-—you who dee'rtied it proper to advise me to erase his name from the list of Privy Councillors?" —His Majesty, it is said, made no objection to any of-the friends of Mr. Fox; but they are determined, itis understood, not to accept of any part in aft Ad- ministration from whicb he has been excluded in so marked a manner. It is also stated, that Lord Grenville, Lord Spen- cer, and Mr. Windham, have refus.edtojoin Mr. Pitt. The latter, it is said, means to propose to his8Majesty the preserving of some of the iniel-nbers of Mr. Addington's Administration, of which Lord Hawkesbury is; believed to be one. Mr.; Pitt, of course, resumes the Premiership and fills theoniocs of Chancellor of the Exchequer and First Lord of the Treasury. Lord Melville is expected to have a leadihgjsituauon ifi the new Ministry. With respect to Mr. Addington, his Majesty is said to have yesterday expressed himself in warm terms of esteem. He paid the highest compliments to the purity both of his public and private charac- ter, and expressed his firm belief that he had been uniformly influenced by the steadiest and strongest attachment to' the interests and independence of his country,.—It should be added.to the honour of Mr. Addingtonj that his intention is* to continue "'to perform his functions' as a Member of Parlia- ment, and that he hasdeciined every offer that has been made of rank or emolument for hiinself or any of his connexions. The Marquis of Stafford's motion on the defence of the country,, and Mr. Fox's motion relative to the Hanoverian troops,, were again postponed yes- terday the former till. Friday, and 'the latter, till Wednesday, on which day Mr. Fox said he should certainly bring it forward.—Mr. H/Jse informed the Commons, that he was authorised to say, that a Member of that House (alluding to Mr. Pitt) had' received his Majesty's commands to lay before him a platt of a new Aamiiustration.(Jn the motion of Mr. Francis,- various-documents respecting the' origin of .the Malirattii war were ordered: ..WEDNESDAY-, 1\ílay, 9. No great progress is understood to have been illade.iii the arrangement of a new Administration. As soon as his Majesty's determination .with re- spect,to -Mr.; Fox was known, a. meeting was held at Carl ton-house, when M'r. Fox expressed a wish u that his exclusion might, .not influence any of his friends. They refused, :ho wever, to accept of any post in, an Administration of which he was not to form part. Mr.* Pitt is said to 'have waited upon Lord Grenville, who expressed a determination si- milar to that made, by -Mr. Fox's particular friends; Ir 'ar, lr -dh Lord Spencer and'Mr, Windham concur in senti- ments with Lord Grenville. This refusal' of the confederated oppositions fb act-\vith Mr. Pitt, uft-< le,ss Mr. F<JS bebrc>ugh.tint6 th^'lSabinet^ or rather this abandonment,, of, Mr. Pitt, and their former $>rincipl«e by Gremyilles, .au^ thejjr going Qver, to Mr. Fox, haA, as rnav he supposed, reduced Mr. Pitt to a tempofa-ry dilemma. He was not pre- pared, at least so it is said, for the secession of the Crcnvilles, the Spencers, and the Wmdiiamites.—- He has not, howeyer,. cfospaireji of being able to make up an Administration without them, and, if we may believe reports, he has already made some; progress; To state- any thing positive, where -no- thing can be considered as definitively settled, e wouldbe absurd—-but the Duke-of Beaufort has, it, is said, been named, Lord Chamberlain, vice the Marquis of Salisbury,- and- Earl Camden Steward of the Household. The Lord Chancellor, the At- torney General, and Lords Hawkesbury and Castle- reagh to retain their situations. Another list hand- ed about states, that Lord Melville was to be First Lord of the Admiralty; Sir Roger Curtis and Com- A .1 missioner Hope to succeed Capt. Markham and Sir T. Troubridge,'a.nd Lord Keith to have a seat at the Board; Lord Euston to go Lord Lieutenant to Ireland; Mr. Rose to be Treasurer of the Navy; Mr. Canning to be one of the Secretaries of State; and Lord Grenville Levison Cower Joint Paymas- ter. But all this is denied by Mr. Pitt's friends. Mr. fox, Lord ThurloWjMr. Sheridan, were in long conference for some hours yesterday at Carleton- house. The Prince, who maintained a line of dig- nified neutrality to the last moment of political forbearance, has felt it incumbent upon him, it is understood, to declare his attachment to the in- terest of Mr. Fox but this he has not done intem- perately as a partizan, but with all the suavity of a polished statesman. A few days, we trust, will put an end to this state of anxiety and uncertainty. Whig Club.—Yesterday the most numerous and respectable meeting of the Whig Club which has taken place for years, was held at the Crown and Anchor; Mr. Fox in the chair. The toasts of the Club being drank, the Duke of Norfolk proposed the health of Mr. Fox; who, after returning thanks to the company, said, that the Club were so,well, acquainted with his sentiments on public topics,, that he had little or nothing to say that could be new to them. Since he had last the pleasure of addressing-them in that place, an event had taken place, in the resignation of the late Administra- tion, .which he could not help considering as a subject of congratulation. He considered that Administration' aV neither in the principles on which they came into office entitled to public con- fidence, nor in their characters, their tafents, their rank, or their connections, fitted to carry on the affairs of the nation wisely and prosperously. They were brought into office by Court faction, without any previous claims on the public confidence and in the overthrow of such an Administration he thought there was just ground of satisfaction; As to any Administration that might succeed,,at least they would not be liable to some of the objections which lay against their predecessors, as their sole recommendation at least would not be,, that. they were the persons selected for the office by the secret advisers of the- Crown. Whether the new Ad- ministration will be deserving of the confidence and support of this Club, or in what degree it might l)e so, he could not say; but he was con- vinced that the Club would uniformly adhere to the principles on which they were formed—The healths of various other members of the Club were- then successively drank, those present returning their thanks, and professing unalterable attach- ment to the principles of the Club and to Mr Fox. —Mr, W. Smith proposed a toast, May me,life of that-Administration be short which faiis to in- clude in it the bestsupport of constitutional liberty at home, and the surest souFc'e of influence ^abroad .I'^rAfter.this, ahd sdmte others had been "drank, Mi\- Fox quitted -the chair, 'which- wasta-fctul -n ti (I by Mr. W.
