MARSEILLES, Anguft 4 The B itifh bio k de ne oaray ajJx in the Clef du Ca- I binet, " It is fat J (fays this joutnal) that the preliminaries of peace are iigoed; and, a mong other articles,/ one is quoted, which dates that the belligerent powers (hall remain matters in Italy of their mutual eomjuelb." Yelterday a rumour was very prevalent in the city, ofrielh overtures for peace having been made to this country by the Chief Con sul. The funds, which had fallen in the morning, rose towards the close of the day one per cent., and conftdenibie purchases were made. VVe have not learnt that any melfen gerhas arrived diredtly irom the Chief Consul, but some advices from France were, we be lieve, received by government on Sunday, and a flag of truce with diipatches failed from .Dover for Calais yesterday We understand also that government received dispatches ye sterday from Vienna, dated the sth inft. con taining the answer of the Chief Consul, to the diipatches which the i/uitrian government, after the receipt ot the determination of the court of Dondon, transmitted to Paris. In this answer Buonaparte has exprefl'ed a will ingness to treat with Great Britain and austria jointly.—Upon these dispatches a Cabinet Counsel was held, and it is probable that a negociation between the three powers may take place immediately. According 10 the advice's received yeftertfay by Mr. Bililico, the melTengcr, who brought difpaches from Conftantinopie as well as Vienna, there isrea fon to luiieve that General K.eber has been murder ed, us has been before reported. An exyrcfs has been received at the Admiralty from Cork, which announces rhe failing cf ten men of wjr, and four armed ship.. with troops on board, on Friday ! >(t, .to join the reft of the armamentVn- Eaged in an expedition, the objedi of which is (till kept a profound fecrct. By accounts from the grand fleet, we fiud that o>e of the tr.mfports tilling badly, did not arrive off Ulhunt till all the others were gone from the fleet—in consequence of whith an order was given for the liugle tr-nlport to repair of Belleifle immedi ately; from this it is evident, mat that may not be the place of attack, it is moll certainly the place of rendezvous. The rtfui' r.f all the reports is, that Bellcifle is the object ol the expedition. Strasburg, August 13. The fire which is now raging in the vast forefts near Frendenftadt and Kniebjs, has lasted for 1 o days. The lmoke was still leen from this place yesterday. All the inhabitants of the adjacent diftrifts are employed in digg ing trenches to prevent its piogrels. The flames have already extended over a (pace of between eight and ten leagues. The right bank of the Rhine nas not been exempt irum this misfortune, and the fupeib loait u; Ha guenau has been three times ravaged by the fire. In the department or the Upper Knine sixty acres of wood have b~en conlumed. Another violent fire has taken place at Kuy ferfberg and Worth, about two leagues irom Berlin, August 7. The report for Ibme time palt in circulation, that Russia and Prussia would have recouiic to an armed mediation, for the purpole or re elLblifhing tranquility, is deltitute or loundu tion. Exertions arc certainiy made by our court in conjundtion with tiiat 01 to induce the billigerent powers to .conclude a peace that will reitore, as Far as poliible the balance of Europe; but those exertions do not exceed the medium ot negociation ' Vienna, Augult 6. The Count de Kelchubey let out Irom Pe terlbbrg on the 26th of kit month tor this capital, entrulted, as it is said, with a.) im portant million relative to the march of a Ruf fian army towards the frontiers ot the two Galacias. Frankfort, August 13. All the French troops that Were here, both infantry and cavalry, marched out yelterday and proceeded to the upper Mein. They were immediately replaced by the tioops from Holland. They are well equipped and in the bell possible condition. Ihe commander in chief Angereau, is expe&ed this day, and there is every appearance that he will fix his head-quarters at Frankfort. There is little room to hope that we (hall be freed from the French soldiery during the war. They are most probably to remain till a pacification is concluded; but when that is to happen cannot easily be conjeiSured. It is even prefuwed, and not without grounds, that though the preliminaries ihould immedi ately be signed between France and Austria, the French would not abandon the line which they now occupy, and that the general retro gade movement will only take place at the conclusion of a definitive peace with the Em peror and the empire. Berne, August 10. The new government has been installed, and has publilhed a proclamation to the peo ple—Nevertheless, the members of the Se nate, who refafed to agree to the new mea sures, and were prevented from assembling in the ordinary place of their fittings, (hut by order of government, have aflembled at an Inn, held their fittings, voted a(ide the go vernment, and had almost declared the mem bers of it outlaws. If we are to credit certain wifpers from this fandluary of the laws, in spite of the profound mystery in which they wrap themselves, they are propoiing to fix their place of meeting in some other town, and take every merfure to overthrow the usurp ing government. They are endeavoring, it is said, to bring over some members of the Grand Council to their lide, to aid the exe cution of this fine projeft. Edinburg, August 29. On Tuesday last arrived in Leith Roads, the Lark armed lugger from the found. The merchants (hips that have arrived, and which failed under convoy of the Lark and Martin sloop, left Elfineur so late as Thursday Jail, at which time Admiral Dickfon, with the (hips of war under his command, were at an chor near the Castle. They had cruised for some days in the offing, and had feot up a (hip to learn the state of things; when the (hips of war were invited up and orders given for their being supplied with provifions l and water. A paflenger who cams by one of the I merchant (hips reports s that the opinion be- > i'ore he left Elfineur that mattters would j be amicably fettled, -4dm. Dickfon and set veral of his ollteers having been invited on J t- ■ (here to dine on the day the fleet departed. | „ LADELPn lA. \ ~ • » r> r i . MONDAY OCTOBER 6 A gentleman is arrived at JEdjnburg, who __ left Copenhagen ycftcrday fe'enight. He brings intelligence that admiralDieKfon's fleet had arrived at Elilneur, near which a Dani(h fleet, confiftitrg.of (hips of war, was lying.— The Britiih and Danilh fleets saluted each other with great politeness. Admiral Dick lon's fleet, by order of Lord Whitworth, harff. ol wHom the Co'itat t'tie wife had 3 long au dience en rbe ?th ihltant. The general report was, that the balls of the preSm Varies between France and Auflria, pi inned at Pari*, would be accepted, with some n odifications: the Emperor is said to lave held a Council of .State, h wkich he accepted those preliminaries, and declared the subsidiary aid olfcred by Britain, in confeqo.ncc oi the great alte ration in his affairs fiucethe io;hof June, when the treaty with Great Britain was concluded. With Count St. Julien arrived jrlfo general Zach, who was a pnfoncr of war at Varis; I t: has leave of absence for fix weeks, wirfiin which time he will be exchanged. It was at firft laid tliat Citizen Duroc had arrived, but he his not yet reached Vienna General Zach was mistaken for him on their firft ar rival. Intelligence has been received that the Queen of Naples, with her children, had arrived at I rieile, accompanied by Admiral Nelson and l.ady Hamil ton. After reding a few days, Ihe was to continue her journey to Vienna. The Porte has refufed to grant passports to the Chevaliar Corral, the new-intcpd Spanilh minitter to that court, declaring that no anibaffador from that court would be received until a general pence should take place. The interference of the Prufiian ministers both at Vienna and Contiantinople, was quite ineffectual.
