landing , at 3 o ' clock in the morning , to tbe eastward of Ostend . and completed the diject of the expedition , bv burning a number of boats des'ined forthe invasion of E'lg ' and , and by so completely destroying the locks and bason gates of the Brug s canal , that it was this morning without a drop of water ; an I , as I 1111-derst ' iul , all the transports fitting out at Flushing were intended to be brought to Osten ' and Dunkirk by ihe i . land navigation , to avoid our cruizers . That arrangement will b .- de ' cated . and it will be a longtime before the works can be repaired , as they were five years finishingandwere esteemed the most complete works of

, the kind in Europe . APPREHENSION OF I . OnD E'HVAtll FITZGERALD . . On certain information . Major Sirr , Captain Ryjui , and Mr . Justice Swan , proceeded on "he evening of the 19 h of May . uo th ; . ' house of one Murphy , a dealer in feathers , in Thomas-s ' ree :, Dublin . They were attended by a sergeant's guard only . Major Sirr waited behind to station the guards , so as to cut off the po sibiliiv of the prisoner ' s retreat . Mr . S van first went . up , and coming tp

the apartment , entered . Lord Edward was ii . bed . Mr . Swan told him that he was sorrv lo be obliged to see him on such an occasion—that , however , h- must do his duty as a magistrate , and i ; at on his submitting he would treai him with cvt-rv possible indulgence . Lord Edward then immediately turning in the bed , drew a piMol . which he discharged without effect . At this lime no one was m the room bin Lord : ,-lward and Mr . Swan . His Lordship , on finding his pisloi had not told , assai ' ed Mr . Swan with a dagger , and ran him through the body above the shoulder-blade . At -his instant Captain Ryan entered the room , when Lord

Edward disengaged himself , and made at him with such determined fury , that with one cut he opened his belly to such a degree that his bowels fell out . So , little time passed , that Major r'irr had no other alarm than the shot—and when he rushed up snirs , he found Lord Edward and Justice Swan struggling for the dagger---hoth of their hands cut . Captain Ryan was in a dying condition—Mr . Swan was exhausted with loss of blood- —and the desperate young man making another effort , the Major in his own defence fired on him , and wounded him in the shoulder . He was then easily overpowered , and conveyed to the castle .

INSCHRECTIOM AT VIENNA . GIVEN IN A LETTER FROM GEN . B EIINAHOTTE TO CITIZEN 3 ACIIE 11 , DATED APHIL I . J . ' I had caused a small tri-coioured flag to be hoisted before the door of my house , in order to supply the place of the arms of the Republic , which I had not yet got ready . About seven o ' clock in the evening an enfiamed populace , the blind instruments of a few miscreants , assembled under my window , and vented curses and imprecations against the national colours . In vain icame down stairs , and endeavoured to prevail upon them to desist ; persons , calling themselves the

Agents of the Police , induced them to rernain by the inactivity of their conduct , and appeared to secure fhem with impunity . From threats they soon proceeded to actions , and a shower of stones broke all my windows to pieces . An armed force more than sufficient to keep the insurgents in check , and even tp drive them off , appeared , but remained unconcerned spectators of these disorders , and then inactively inflamed this enfuriated mob to ihe highest pitch of excess . They broke open the gates of my house , and rushed into the court , with loud cries of death and destruction to every Frenchman . We expected to be put to death ;

but our last moment : would have been terrible lo the miscreants who should have attempted our lives , for we were determined to sell them dearly . Three of these villains rushed up staiis ; three pistol buileis , fired by my servants , punished them for their temerity . This resistance , whicr . they probably had not expected , checked their impetuosity . They vented their fury upon tiie carriages and other property in tho court , which they treated as iheir own . At last , afier we had been five hours left at the mercy of these assassins , a detachment of cavalry , which had been on the spot for a considerable timewas ordered to act . Our

, court and the places in the neighbourhood of ll ) e house were very soon cleared . ' As the laws of nations and the dignity of the French Republic were thus so . outrageously attacked in my person , and no disposition appeared to repair this violation in a suitable manner , I am determined to leave this capital for Rastadt , there to wait the commands of the Executive Directory of the French Republic'
