Our government lately arretted fuT

as neither of them pofleHes either perfo

Au the very moment when our gov

i: its conduit towards- tlw Mimtler~of
France and his partisans, it has refufed
the demand made by the English to
permit (hips of "war to enter the port
of Gc 10a, to take under convoy a
2 number of (hips destined for England.
* They have answered, " that the Geno

.hey would cease the hostilities which
are incompatible with their demands,
to enter that port as friends, and
if they would present themselves with
the number of ships prescribed by the
rights of nations."
London, April 30.
The conspiracy in Naples against the
f. Royal Family, our letters of yesterday
inform us, Wa3 occasioned solely by the
jealosy of the Nobles, on account of
the principal offices of the state beisg
occupied by ft rangers. The King had
retired to a country feat under a guard
of 4000 men, aiid when the last advi
ces came away, the city of Naples was
in a ltate of the mdft violent fermenta
tion !
The accounts which the Porte re
ceived from Egypt on the 12th ult. are
said to be of the most tlarming nature.
f The adherents of Vehable are at the
distance of five days march from Mec
v ca, all the Tribes have declared
themselves in their favor. All uie
country from Bagdad Co BafTora, and .
20 dajs journey 1 farther, is in open re
bellion.
Several Persons who had the good
fortune to escape froui Bourdeaux with
in tlie courfeof last month, agree in Ant
ing that bread is extremely dear and
fcarcs in that city, and that e:-.eiiinha
bitant is allowed to pyrchafe only half
a pound per day.— <- On the day
of the decade, that is every tenth
day, there is no dftribution .of tins essen

j fro*i the allowance of the other nine,

The following particulars refpe/'ting
Madame Fauchez, mentioned in the
Times of Monday, may be depended
"fipon :—The husband of this lady v.'ho
has property in this country and St. Do
mingo, offered a confidetable ium of
money to an American captain in one
of our ports, if he would go to Bour
dta'ux, where Mad. Fauchez and her
three children were, and endeavor to
bring them dver. On his palTage, he was
fearcbed hpr** "French Frigate, vvhich
tooje-ffdm iam a Frenchman he had on
board—Upon his arrival at Botirdeatix,.
he-contrived in, tl'e liiiildle of the night.
to get Mad. Fauchez on boar/l, con

to inform, if he di<j noi innnediately fend

her 011 hoard again in the night, taking:]
care to make the pilot drunk ; und dn the
following day he let fail.
The American ftiip met the fame
Frigate in returning from England';
who fearcbed it very narrowly, but did
not discover thehdy. The Fiench 'in
formed the captain that the Frenchman
they took from him, -was a spy, employ
ed by England, and that they had him
gui'l&tined at Brett immediately. The
captain arrived fafe, and landed Mad.
Fauchez in England. She is a very

1 S I ft,
I have the honor to acquaint you of
my ariival here with his mnjelty's ship
under my command, with a Frerich fri
gate, which we took ifi the afternoon
of the 23d in'ftaiit; ' The early tranfuc
tions of that day have t»een detailed to
you' by fir JOIIII Warren ; but as the
I'loYa was at too great a distance to ob
serve my proceedings in the afternoon,
I beg to relate the particulars of my
conduit from the time we palfed the
Pomone after (he had futiendered-. A
bout eleven, A. M. we were near enough
to receive and return the fire of the
enemy's two frigates which were mak
ing off. It was my intention to endea
vor to disable the fternmolt, and leave
her for the ships of his m?jafty which
were following us, and purti on to at
tack the leading (hip ; hut in this I was
disappointed. for—the leading fliip Irui'e
down, and closed to fuppoVt his second,
and laying herfelf acrofsour bows, soon
disabled us in our fails and rigging so
much, that we dropped afteni. We
soon got out fail's 011 the ifhip again, and
I purposed to keep the enemy's two
ships in chequc till our's arrived, as the
only means of taking them both; but
finding the day far advanced, and little
probability of otir being affilled, as our
(hips rather dropped, and expecting our
main-topemaft, which was (hot through,
to go every minute, knoiving that if
our malt went, both the ships mutt es
cape, I determined to fecbre the one I
was nearest. She was afltfted some time
by her second, but, changing fides in
the smoke, it prevented him from an
noying us. She ivas defended with the
greatest bravery from twelve till a quar
ter pa It two, P. M. when being fllenced,
and totally unmanageable, they called
they had surrendered. She proved to
be l'Eiigageante, of *4 gUr.S "and 4
carronades, with 300 men.
The other frigate le Refolue, after,
firing a few {hot, flood on, and our
ship, much cut np in her fails and rig
ging, was not in a condition to follow
her. The mast of 1' Eiigageante, in
the evening as we attempted to tow her,
fell, and expecting our's to go aifo, 1 j
availed myfclf of feeing the Nymphe J

" The 17 th of this month has proved
a dreadful day to Warsaw. General
Igelltrohm, a few days before, had jfiven

had been previously detached, in order

the lame time he sent a mt{fage to the
King, informing his Majtfty (iff the
event. The King sent him w»rd, that
he had been already informed ef what
had happened ; that his Majesty had
only to add a requelt to the General, to
lend all his troops out of the capital, in
order to .prevent bloodshed, until the
minds of the people ihali in some rheafure
be paeilied.
"'-General Igelftrohm, in the mean
time had sent Genetal Bauer, at the
