THURSDAY, Oct. 1. BY the Kent man of" war, which is arrived at Portsmouth' from the Mediterranean, 'we have received accounts from Malaga up to the 25th of August inclusive, at which time the fever was then raging with great violence. On the 16th, 17th, and 18th, the deaths amounted to up- wards of one hundred and thirty-six persons daily. The Kent left Lord N elson's fleet at anchor off I Toulon, on the 18th of August, all well. The French had then in Toulon harbour eight sail of the line, and several frigates and sloops The following letter from Cadiz, dated Aug. 24, has been received by the Kent man of war: The Amphitrite arrived here a few days ago from Vera Cruz, having on board 3,700,000 dollars, in specie, on account of our Government, besides large sums for individuals. Two other frigates, with 3,000,000 each, were to sail for this place in the course of two months after the Amphitrite. A large proporti.on of the specie brought by the Amphitrite, will be sent to England in the first Bri- tish men of war that call here, to be remitted from England to Bonaparte, by way of Hamburgh. You may depend upon this fact, that all the remit- tances in silver, from this Government to Bona- parte, are sent in British men of war, as being the quickest, the safest and the nmt advantageous way of sealing money from this country to France. The doliar here is only worth 4s. Id.; in London it sells for 4s. 6d. which leaves a profit of near 8 per cent. after paying all expences: and the amount is remit- ted by bills upon Hamburgh; so that It commonly reaches Paris in six weeks from its beinD" shipped in a British man of war at Cadiz." The following letter will place the recent insur- rection at Bilboa in a more circumstantial point of view than it has yet appeared, from the cautious nature of the communications which have reached us from Spain:— Biiboa, Sept. 20.—Many new occurrences have taken place here since I have last written to vou. The country people, dissatisfied with the new ar- rangement and appointment of deputies made by their Lordships, armed themselves, to the number of 1800 men, who soon iiicreased to upwards of ,.).uoo-. The Commander of the troop's ttdv meed ] upon the rebels, and attacked them on the moun- tain Ypuzzuio Sudurrestuiqui, where they were posted. Alter a severe contest, the King's troops were obliged to retreat. According to the most ac- curate accounts, the killed and wounded of the re- bels amounted to above 1100, among whom were the two brothers, Captain and Lieutenant Buzzlan- luco. Lieut.-Col. Ypmxlibelz, of the Royal Armv, was killed on the heights of Guezzura Franco. The famous Cherngorotz, the principal leader of the insurgents, is said to have been dangerously wound- ed. We hope for more circumstantial details in the course of a few days. There are already upwards of 9500 insurgents in arms, and the King's troops are entrenching themselves with all possible expe- dition in the plains of Tantalo, and near the hills of Sabel agora." The cause of the insurrection at Bilboa is on ac- count oi a violent difterence with the Government respecting the £ uintv, or the drawing of every fifth man for the army. The Biscayans have constantly I ted eve resisted every demand of the kind, and, when they have aided Government either with men or money, 1 they have always insisted on auopting their own mode or custom. T he late demand of Government was considered as an infraction of their privileges, acknowledged and established for time immemo- rial. They offered to grant Government the sup- plies wanted, provided they were allowed to raise them in their own way. Government, however, refused to comply with their request, and insisted peremptorily on passive obedience. The proud Biscayans, always jealous and fearful of their li- berties, resolved to resist what they deemed a ty- ranny, and thus arose a contest between the Go-j vernment and the people. Both parties have now arrived to the utmost violent extremities, and as neither is disposed to recede, one or both must fall; for those who know the craft and ambition of Bo- naparte have no hesitation to say, that he is at the .bottom of the plot. A recent letter from Paris says—" While you are busy in England, speculating upon the destination of our expeditions and armaments from Brest, Rochefort, and Toulon; while you are sending them sometimes to Sicily and Sardinia, and some- times to Ireland or Egypt; the general opinion in our political circles is, that of the three of these squadrons that have land troops on board, two are destined for the Brazils, one directly, and the other after it has, on Its passage, placed a garrisqn in the p island of Madeira. Every one who pretends to any knowledge of what is passing in the political world, asserts as certain, that the Courts of St. Cloud, Ma- drid, and Lisbon, perfectly understand each other; and that before Lasnes left Portugal, and Bournon- ville quitted Spain, every thing was settled between these three powers, with regard to naval and mili- tary succours, pecuniary contributions, or territo- rial occupations. Before Bonaparte quitted Aix-la- Chapclle he held a council of military officers, and dispatched orders to Boulogne, Brest, and Toulon, to hasten, as is supposed, the execution of his me- ditated plan of invasion. Letters recently received from the western and southern coasts, do not men- tion any extraordinary activity in these several ports; nor contain any account of the sailing of any fleet or flotilla. That every preparation, how- ever, is made fur the purpose, is evident, for even the heavy artillery Irom BeSanyon, Metz, and Lux- embourg, has been sent with extraordinary expe- dition tj the camps upon the coast; and, within these ten days, upwards ot l(j00 ammunition wag- gons and caissons have passed through this capital for the same destination. Yesterday Gen. Murat, the Governor ot Pans, published, by beat of dmlll, au order to all ollicers belonging to the regiments ot the army of England, now absent upon leave, to join their respective corps, before the 4th Vende- ttiaire, year l (the i.aair<ujt) under pain of be- 6. ■ mg pu 1115tied deserters. Lveft officers who'ar^ \1-mbers.qf the l^iitaiyc of the TÔJ uunate, are not excepted iront the operation of this order. Many here are weak enough to believe that Bonaparte relies more upon his secret adherents in England, than upon his army and armada from Franco;.although" every public and private infor- mation from England shews the fallacy of such an expectat on." In no ti.finer year in the memory of man has France suffered more from hurricanes, hail storms, conflagrations, putrid fevers, and the overflow of rivers, than the present. The harvest, and the pro- ductions of the earth, have been lost entirely in 42 departments, or three-eighth parts of France. In these departments the misery is so great, that Government, instead of collecting the usual con- tributions, have been obliged to advance upwards of one hundred millions of livres (four millions sterling) to prevent a present famine, and to buy -,A cattle, grain, &c. for again sowing and cultivatino- the lands.—In the same departments, fevers, an2 disease, the consequence of unwholesome food, have made the mortality so great, that hardly hands enough would have remained to till the earth, had not Bonaparte tacitly admitted the non- execution of the law concerning conscrips, and even given leave of absence to those young men of those countries, who had been incorporated with his troops, to return home and assist their parents, relatives, and countrymen. Ail sorts of grain have greatly risen in price in France within live weeks; but at Paris the bread costs only four sous a pound, though it was as high as six sous at Rouen, Government making up the. dÜlerence between the price of grain ana that of bread in the capital, either by requisition or confis- cation on the markets in the vicinity. At Luzac and at Poitiers, in the beginning of last month, the corn markets were surrounded by gens (Tunnes; and police commissaries from Paris took possession of every sack of corn, in the name of Government, for which they paid in bom, according to the price the police-minister, Fouche, had settled. A proprie- tor, now in town, who, according to the preceding market price expected to receive for his grain six thousand livres, obtained only in ready money for the bons two thousand livres Extensive granaries are erected, both at Paris, and near the camps on the coast, all supplied in the same manner. The markets at Montreuil, at Lille, at Courtrais, and at St. Nicholas, have all been swept away, and the grain paid for upon tbeFaris terms. As the Flemish iairaers afterwards did not bring the corn to mar- ket, victualling commissaries for the army "we/it from farm to farm, and took an account of all grain iound;,and, after allowing the proprietors a cer- tain quantity, paid for the remainder in Ions, ac- cording to Fouche's maximiun, and saw it carried to the army magazines. In Picardy, and in the de- partment of the Seine, victualling and poiice com- missaries have committed the same violent and op- pressive acts, which, according to reports, have cured the capital grain enough tor twelve mo and the army sufficient for ten months to This outrage, no doubt, gives the same blow ,w culture, that already ruined commerce v •'> since the revolution. The late fail ia th the consequence of the want of monev. and < J in the contributions, more than from a dread continental war, though every body looks J with terror to the measures of safety and 1:t .s which a continental war will occasion; at least if it does not begin with victories and conquests. Ex- tortioners, plunders, and the armies, have already exhausted Italy. Switzerland can furnish no sup- plies, either of provisions or of money; and Hol- land, though once rich, is utterly unable to conti- nue to support its own and those French troop- al- ready encamped in that country. It is said at Paris. that of the seven hundred millions, expected in contributions, according to the budget for the year 12, there had been collected up to the 30th Messi- dor, that is to say, in the space of ten months, ouiy three hundred and ten millions. The Happy Iteturn hired armed cutter, of 10> guns, arrived at Plymouth, on Tuesday, from a cruize, with damage having, in company with z, the Sheerness cutter, of 12 guns, a few days 11 N, fallen in with a French sloop of war and a brig of 16 guns, which they engaged in a running right many hours. During the engagement, the two French ships endeavoured to run into Brest, but the cutters pursued them so closely, and engaged so gallantly, that both of them ran ashore under the guns of the battery; the cutters then manned their boats, and endeavoured to bring out the bris, but the enemy hauled her in betweeniho two rocks, and so compleatly surrounded her by from the shore, that the British heroes were qhhired to relinquish their expected prizes. The shot and shells from the batteries parsed farbevond the cut- ters; but happily did no other damage tin.
