Great preparations are making for the marriage of his Imperial Majefty, in November next, which will be extremely fplendid. - Some frefb dillurbances have broken out in the Camp of the Grand Vizier. The Janizaries have maf facred their once beloved Pehlivan Aga, and Kuhl Krajaft has taken his place. The Grand Vizier alfo found hirnfelf under the neceffity of difplacing the Reis Effendi of the army, and Kiaga Bey, and to appoint Avis Effendi and Mohrali Ofman Effendi in their room.

The gartifon of Copenhagen are deelated to be prifoners of war, but the militia art difmitted, upon their engagement not to leave again. The newly invented rockets, we learn, next to the bombs, did the greaten execution at Copenhagen. PRIVATE LETTER,. Extrael of a lett e r f rom a young G ent l eman, an Officer on board of the MARS ; dated from that Slip, at anchor in Copenhagen Roads, September 8, 1807: " On Wednefday evening, the whole of our batteries, confining of fixty mor.ars, befides guns, commenced firing upon the town, which we could very loon afterwards perceive to be on fire: a great quantity of Mr. Congreve's rockets were thrown in amongil others—we ceafed firing at day-light, and the fire was got under by the afternoon. We did not commence it again until 'Friday night, except now and then by a few guns ; when we aliened upon it with a greater degree of fury, and the town was loon on fire in two different places, and continued burning until Sunday afternoon :—one of the large churches fell ; but how muck of the town, or what lives, they have loft, I have net yet heard. On Saturday night and Sunday morning, five flags of truce came out ; and on Monday morning they capitulated ; otherwife we Ihould have itormed the town again to-day, when there would have been dreadful user/ indeed, as the bridges and foaling ladders were all got ready,and clofe to the town:—and Sir Homo Popham declared be world net leave ae Rona as wadi male a food 'id for Bonaparte.

Upwards of 2000 bombs, rockets, &c have Mat in this capital. Seven hundred wounded inhabi tants are in the hofpitals. One might have feen the inhabitants of both fexes dropping dosirn in the (trees Several retired , to the cellars of the houfes, but the greaten part of them took refuge at Chriftianfburg. The calamity would have hien eatrenat, bad the bombardment recommenced, and if the capitulation had not been entered into in time to prevent the Itorm that mutt have followed.

According to the capitulation, figned %Ate 7th, the Danifh fleet is to be totnpletely fitted cat, and deliVered up to the Englini, till a general peace; and, (luring the arrniftice of fix weeks, the itadel and both the Holms are to be put in their fleffion. . .

Mr. Jactrams immediately fet off for London. Mr. MEYERS, a king's Mellinger, alfo came by the liii.cyorr, and lit off for London with difpatches. We have received Dutch Papers to the 21ft, con taining Eatrafts from the Paris Journals to the t 6th inaant. In the Siir. of the Bth intl. we laid before our Readers what we were able to coiled from the Papers then received, relating to the Annual Expo fir ion of the State of the French Empire. A more full detail appears in the Journals before us, erpeciallY reteding its Foreign relations—NaPoisoi has not aced with inagnsnirnity to the Poles. During the late campaign, while they Were employed as his inilru ments,theiriallantrybpatrititirm auddevotiontoFranCe; were eitolled in the Bulletins—but their hopes have lice!? difappointed. DantCie too enjoys /redone, under the Go4eintneist of i French General ! From there pipers, we lArn that Sir Aurnui Pais E+ had commenced a negociation with the Porte. One of his propofitions is laid to have been, that Egypt timid be delivered up to us b nt il the period of a definitive peace with nince. It is not Rated where; or with whom the negociation was concluded. The appearance of our fquadron created great alarm. The Porte teemed to apprehend another and more effeetual Wit to the capital. The garrifons in the batteries of the Dardanelles were reinforced, and the French officers who were proceeding to Perna hfilted in their route, and returned to fuperintend the" de fence of that important paffage. The article contain ing this intelligence does not afford, which is very extraordinary, any further information refpating the defeat of the Turkifh fquadron. The Ottoman Empire is at this moment in a moll critical (late. While the Ruffians advanie towards the heart of the Empire on one fide, the French are nat inactive on the other. A confiderable portion of that army, which was lately oppofing Bow APART! on the Palfarge and Pregel, probably by this time has poured into Moldavia and the contiguous pro trinces, and this at a moment when a Turkilll Pleni. potentiarY was waiting the arrival of a Roffian Mini tier at one of the polls tipon the Danube. We have little doubt, that France and Roffia are agreed to as the principle upon which the partition of Tdrkey is to be:dialled. The latter will moll likely obtain poffc(flon of the Capital, while Greece, In ef feudal to the views of BONAPARTE in the Mediterra scan, will fall to the lot of France. That fome filch divifion of the Turkifh territory has been determined on, is evident, from Ruilia having ceded the iteptibiic of the Seven Hands to France. Eitraordinary as it may appear, there teems to be no room for quellion ing the faet. French troops have already taken pot fel:lion of Corfu. The Kingdom of Etruria is about to fhare the fate' of the other Italian independencies. A French corps, tinder pretence of feizing and excluding Britifh mer chandise, has taken poffelnon of the ports of Fiume, of Leghorn, and of Trick. Another body was detached to occupy, Florence. It will probably be incorporated with the kingdom of Italy, or, if fuffered to retain its exilience, conferred upon Tome of the favourites of NaroLsom—TaL. LITRAND, perhaps. Can Auflria look on with indifference No—But, , . can fhe offer any effeCludi alliance to Turkey-or', mull fit: tamely permit the partition ? Time alone can give the anfwer. In the interim the improvements of her military fylftrn laid down by the Archduke CHARLES, are carrying on with great aitivity. An article from Stralfund, of the 7th inflant, men- tions that the iCAnd of Rugen has been evacuated by the Swedes. The intelligence is probably premature. There was not chipping enough to take them off. It is pofilble, however, that tome convention to that cited, has been agreed upon. All the accounts from Holland agree in Rating, that the Dutch Government is refolved trslft rigo. roufly to enforce the recent decree for prohibiting any interconrfe bet ween Holland and this country. Two Tails, which were in the ad of taking,in cargoes at the time the decree was iffued, reached the River on Monday, fuch (hips being exempted from the opera tion of the decree; and yellerday another veffel ar rived, which was permitted to fail under the fame circumfiances. By this vefel we learn, that all the eeffels and cargoes which were feized in the firft in- , Rance have been condemned, and fuch of the officers and pafengert as could not render a fatisfadory account to the authorities conßituted to carry the decree into execution (which authorities confift ge nerally of Frenchmen) Are detained In cultody. It , has been allowed, 4 4 as an ail of indulgence," as thefe conflituted authorities term it, that loch pal fengers as have been taken from this country fence the decree was Hilted, &mild be fent away with the packets which brought them. This 4 6 adt of indul gence" makes no exception whatever id favour of thole who are natives of Holland. A Dutch met.. chant of confidcrable refpe tability. whb had been in this country upon mercantile bufinefs, was, on his landing at Brine, taken into cultody, and would have been fent immediately away, if it had not happened that the packet. which took him had quitted the port, owing to the prompt vigilance of the agents appoint. ed to execute the decree. The Gentleman was, however, obliged, before his releafe, to enter into fecurities to the amount of 3000 guilders. The Dutch Captains belonging to the three lafl velfels teem to be of opinion, that the veffel which arrived yeßerday is the lalt entitled to the exception fpecified in the decree, and that any further arrival from Holland is not to be looked for for foqie time, milers the provificns of the decree be modified, or its execution be fufpended. Yeilerday an Airftrian courier arrived by the way of Harwich, it the Foreign Offic:, with difpatches from the Auftrian Government to our Court ; and alto to his Excellency the Imperial Ambaffador. At the fame time a metTenger arrived from Earl NM /WIC/I with difpatches to the Secretary for Foreign Affairs. Monday,the Duke Da BERRY embarked on board the ARIADNE fr?gate, at Yarmouth, for the Con- tinent, under a royal falute of 2 1 guns. Yeflerday, the Dike of Yott held a public day at his Office in the Horfe Guards, and gave andieaces to the Marquis of Huart.sv, the Earl of CHATHAM, Lord CASTLEREAGH, and Sir ROBERT WiLsom, for the fira time , fince his arrival with difpatches from Lord HUTCHINEON. His Royal Highnefs likewile gave audiences to Lieut. CATHCART, and a number of other Military Officers. The ad Battalion of the 9th Foot, upwards of 800 Rrong, under the command of Major HENRY Quo TURD, croffed the Thames yetterday, at Tilbury, on its march to Shorne Cliffe. This very fine regiment has been jolt ,completed from the Leieeller, Well- Kent, and Smerfet Militia regiments, and appears highly equipped and fit for Rnyfervicc. TheWandfworth Voluhteers, commandedby Major Eomuans, marched from Wandfworth on Monday morning lark for Croydon, on permanent duty for ten days. . It is how believed, that the holes which were die. covered in the bottoms of the Dania? (Lips were cut before the bombardment of .the town commenced, when it was determined. to flak them, rather than allow them to fall into our hands; ind that the holes were fo far from being concealed, that they were pbferved by the firft bolts that approaChed the Ratliff? (Lips. . . Some Papers haring inaccurately reported that .in application had been made to Government, for tern porary_ relief, by the Merchants who had hipped goods to the River Plate, we are anthoriied to Rate, that though a private tommuhication *as held with Mr. PERCEYAL, no requell of the kind was made. The Gentleman who faw Mr. PaatavaL. only en deavoured to afcertaln, whether Government was difpofed to refund the rif Or cent. paid on (Deb goods as were landed at Monte Video. and might be re-(hipped at the expiry of the two months ? whether any or what Itipnlations General WNITELOCKS had made for the trade ? and whether, if circumitances frinuld render it neteirary, Government would be dilpofed to grant all relief to thole interefted ?—ln anfwer to the . latter inquiry, Mr. Psabavit. Paid, he had no falls to judge from ; in confetinence of which the " Ritensent of the grounds on which the terser. chants may claim relief from Government," was prepared and privately tranfmitted. The anfwer of Mr. PratataL has been corretily Rated in the STAR, and need not, therefore. be repeated. Copies of the Paper were difiributed among feveral Gentlemen in terefled in the iffue of thefe quellions, and who were acqnainted with the whole proceedings. Such are the rafts, Which ought not to be perverted by thofe who may not require relief. We may add, that in a commercial country, what ever tends to promote its intereßs. and extend its trade, mull unqueflionsibly merit the aid of Govern ment; and it can be neither new in principle, nor inconfißent with found policy, to afle, and receive, fuch aid. The individual who hazards his capital. under the tacit fanftion of Government, has Purely a right to affix a degree of refponfibility on that Go vernment; which derives additional zelourees from his enterprize: nor is filch an expeitation either new, or fingular—the aid afforded the Grenada merchants and planters, in their unmerited dittref., is a fair precedent to refort to, for extending limilar bene ficence infavour of the (offering fhippers to the River Plate; and we truft the wifdom and policy of his Majelly's Miniflers will adopt it in the prefent urgent inllauge, mauve the fapient efforts of loose feribklers; who endeavour to treat the bufincfs with rivity: • !V'AIITIL`AL INTELLIGENG~E.
