Our firlt attention was diredled to
wards the pending neg.ociation with
France, but w? have not been a'jle to
discover a single article relating to tha'
important bufiitefs,
fZT' A continuation of interelling details'
will be given in our next.
LONDON, May 29.
We have received taris Journals to tbfi
26th ir.d. inclusive. They contain but lit
tle official intelligence of a Inter- date than
what we had before. A telegraphic com
munication from Huninguen, of the nit
iiift. fays that nothing new had occurred on
the Rhine; and the unofficial letters fptaksfo
vaguely that nothing certain call be learnt
from them.
If we may credit a letter from the banks
of the Danube, dated the 18th, the huftile
armies were then in the Ulm—Mortal) at
Kiechfctoberg, one league from Ulm, and
Kray near lfilel, half a league from the fame
city. Gen. Sztarray, however, had been
able to effiift his jun&ion with the latter,
in spite of the obftocles thrown in his way
by Gen. St. Suzanne. Tlic circumstances
of the Atiftrians n»ay therefore be consider
ed as ftmewhat improved ; ardbefides, they
are now in such a fituatioti that they may
probably te able to avoid an adfion till they
receive the reinforcements which are to join
them.
111 other quarters the success has been
various. On the Nojtherii frontiers of the
Sardinian dominions, the French have pas
sed the Ot St. Bernard, and taken Aofta.
The Auflrians, it would appear on the
er hand, have bet n furcefiful in the South,
and taker the city of Nice.
The official paper slates. that the Prince
has retired to lmmenfladt, and abandoned
Bicgentr to the French
A letter from Strafbuifi of tbt 21ft speaks
of an aftion between Etlirgtn an Rcithin
geo, bui in such a loofc n.annti that it hard
ly dt serves nctice.
sii:'iiapartt', of date the 18th, writes to
the ipinifier ot tiie Interior, that in in three
days al v. on I'd be ve in I'iecijicnd. We
Inay rheiefore scon expett important news
(rom that quarter. General Melas, thus
formidably threatened, mull afleuble all his
force ; and if he has not already taken Ge
noa, he will proLably be to abinden
the enterprise, for his forces do not admit'
of being, divided ir.tlik two divifiuiis, fuf
fficient both to ceepe with the army c.f
Buonaparte, and to withstand the combined
efforts ot Maflcna and Suinet. To this
theatre of war, therefore, every eye isdirett
rd. 'l'he events which it is about to exhi
bit involve the fortune of the campaign and
of 'the war.

latisfa&orily the destination of the troops
lately, sent to the Mediterranean.
Thefr Journals throw feme light on the
ttyfleriouj, affair of an aftion having taktrl
place bt tween Kleber and the Grand Vizier.
As far as uur materials enable us to foim
an opinion; the following appears to be the
fatt s Our Commander in the Mediterra
nean, until Jie ihould receive indruftions,
fiomour Government refufed free prfTage
to any {hips from Alexandria : in the inte
rim the Grmiid Vizier expefled the French
to evacuate Cairo, Bcc. and to adt as if the
j .ifTports and guarantee fr<-rn the Allies of
the P< rti had been already piccur ed. Kle
ber however, thought otherwise, and before
tt.; cqncufrerte of our cahinee could ar
rive, matter* had proceeded so far as to oc-
the misunderstanding which brought
on a renewal of h< flilities.
A letter from a gentleman attached to Sir Sid
ney Smith's lquadron, and which was brought
by the btaier ot he lad overland dispatch firm
Jnd : a, gives the following detail refpc&ing this
afiVr :
" Hostilities were HnexpeiSedly renewee by

The Hamburgh Mail, due on Wedmfday
1 ;ft, Arrived late lad night. It does not,
however, bring ar.y intelligence which can
allay the public anxiety on the fubjeft of the
hofiile armies ir. Suabia, the greater pait t f
its contents having betn anticipated by the
Paris papers which arrived on Thursday, the
letters from that part of the feat of war be
ing only one day later than tljol'e received I y
that conveyance.
It was reported at Hamburgh on the e
vening of the 24th, (hat a battle was fought
between Augfburgh and Ulm. on the 16th
or 17th of May. This report we conceiv
ed to have been founded on tbe latter from
Heillron, of the 16th inft. which slates,
that a violent cannonade had been heard
during the whole of that day fremthe neigh,
bourbood of Ulm.

Our Plymouth letter of this day slates
the arrival of the Hjivic flrop of WaT, capt.
Bartholomew, who had fallen in with a fri
gate, ftom which he learnt that the .combi
ned fleets v. re under fail on Tuefdsy last,
and tl at thirteen fail oi them were com
pletely out of the haruour of Bred, and the
remainder getting cut as fafl aspcflible. As
tie channel fleet palled Plymouth on Tues

"ordered out immediately, there *Vas every

There- are private letters in town from"
Paris, br«#ght ovei by the !:.fi cartel, which
mention that Buonaparte haii written to the
two ci nfu!?, to fay, " that in 3 days froni
the ('ate ol his letter he fl'. iuld he at Mi
lan ; and in a fortnight all would I c over."
It vruld be very idle in us 'o ateempt to
explain the Weaning of this rxprtfiioii ; all
that we can vouch for is, that letters of this
tendency hive coir.e frcln Paris.
June 4.
Lafl night we received Paris papers to the

the articles from Suabia, brought by the
Hamburgh mails which arrived on Monday
last, lias in the prtf nt infiance left but lit
tle to be told by these journals, except
what mifht be donvtyed by the telegraph.
"No cominnication of thi# kind has been
made, lo tl»at we may conclude either tl at
nrthing has taken, phice, or at le»ft, nothing
•advantageous to the republicans. 11l the
journal de Paris it is stated, that a cannon

one day later than our information frftm

CAPTURE OF GENOA.
Late lalt 1 ight a meflenper arrived at th-
Admnalty withdifpatc.hes from Lord Keith,
cout?ining intelligence of tbe capture of
Genoa by the Aiiilrians* This melt inter,
et ing event,, eoi fident'y anticipated on- the
fit 11 defeats of Maflciia but judged from
subs quei t u;its every day mere im, ro
bable, took place op the 12th ult. The
place was carried by aflault. The French
have loft a grtat nuniber of men, nei r 20C0
were taken- prisoners, and the reft of Mafle
na'i aru y fought faiety iu the surrounding
heights, frcm whence they were flying in
every diredlim when the difpatchts above
alluded to was feist off. In this bold enter
prize the Auftrians loft cnecf theirgenerali.
Twenty velfels laden with grain, destined
fcr the relief of that city, were taken by
the English fleet. The army of reserve has
met with canfiderable it has

In the battle of the 3d and sth, the Jour

10 000 killed, and 18,'600 wtiur.ded. The
