I jfomsit LONDON, December 25. Capt. Sir H. Popham has been obliged to return to London, not being able to land on the German cnalt, on account of the un favourable weather.—He will, we under stand, again set cfl by the circuitous route of she Mediterranean. He lias been pre ceded by two nieffengers, one of whom is gone by the way of Leghorn to Vienna and Peterfburgh, and the other to Conftantiho ple. Sunday forenoon the Ruffian ArobaHador arrived at Portsmouth, where alt the Ruffian officers remaining there were rntrodufitd to him by Gen. HeflVrt. His Excellency's errand to Portsmouth, is to euqure particularly into the nature of the disorder that continues to carry off fe many of the troops belonging to his nation. The hospital ships now appropriated for thtfir ac commodation are, the Bntanta, Pegafe, and Portland. We lament to add, that the diflemper is but little or nothing abated. It is stated, that in cunfequence of orders from his Royal bighgcfs the commander in chief, nil the volunteer corps in England are to hold thcmfelves in readiness for ailual fervlce. December 28 The General of the different armies of the Republic have published proclamations to their troops. The following charadler is given in the Mcffager des Relations Ex- terieures, " The commanders in Chief Moreau, Maffena and Brune, have add re (Ted procla- mations to their armies, on the Revolution of the 9th of November, and 011 the New Constitution. Moreau lees in this -event, a viilory obtained over two faftions equally powerful, and the triumph of liberty and genius substituted to the empire of unlkilful- ness and ignorance. Maffena fees in it the Constitution ef military Hate, rewards de creed to devotion and to courage, an honour able retreat for the brave men who are maim ed in the field of honour ; affiftanc* for their families ; the return of happiness and good order the dawn of prosperity to the ar ir. cs, and the regeneration «f the Republic. Bruaie fees nothing in it but the expulfiou of the Emigrants, and the Security of the national deinefnes. Ail three of them loudly applaud the New Conflitut'<,n. Brune praites Buonaparte, who has in a few days erei'ted a vigorous Government. Moreau pays a splendid homage to the talents of the three Consuls. All of them promiSes peace, and a period *0 the miftnesof the army." Perhaps it will surprise some of our rea ders that Sieyes hat declared his determina tion not. to accept of any public employment. He retires to private life, and as 3, reward for his services, the Council of Five Hundred, at the inftigniion of the two Legislative Commiflions, and the Consuls, Buonaparte and Ducos, have bellowed upun him the national djmain of Grofne, in the depart ment of the Seine and Oife. BELFAST, December 31 I: wai reported in London, that Mr. Pitt having informed the King that the Cardinal of York, the. lad relic of an illudrious family which once reigned in England, was reduced to a date of difbefs which bordered 011 wretch edness.
