For Come days pall it has been pretty generally rumoured t h roughout this Country that his Majefty the Ernreror Napoleon will create a new ptincipa lity of Jena. That country had formerly its milli cular Dukes, of the branch of Saxe Eifenach. When that branch became extine Jena was incorporated in the Duchy of Weimar. The re•eftablifhment of that Duchy would be a political and hiftorical monument pf the ever memorable victory of the 14. th October, 18°6. This principality is faid to be deitined for one of the moll diflinguilbed Marf l oals of France. The 101 l which the Duke of Saxe Weimar would fuffer by this ceflion would be richly cornpenfated by the town and principality of Erfurt, which is to be ceded to the Duke of Weimar. It is added that the Uni verfity of Jena will be richly endowed, will become the fir ft academy of the Confederation of the Rhine, and be placed under the fpecial proteetion of his Ma jetty the Emperor of the French ; the fuperior deter minations relative to this change arc looked for with impatience. It appears to be already determined, that the part of Theiringia belonging to the King of Saxony be ceded to the Duke if Saxe Gctha, who, in his t , .rn, will cede to his Majefty the Duchy of Allem burg.—Publicife.

Letters have been received here from Vienna, which cla not reprefent the affairs of Hungary in In favourable a light as the public prints have done for fame weeks. The deliberations of the States on the Royal "Pi oporni ,, ns, are not yet concluded. With refpat to the demand of the Court to Aral it out of the wretched condition in which the Aufirian finances at prefent are, the States hove agreed to take upon themfclvcs 1:!e payment of twenty-five millions of bank notes ; bat the Aufirian Government thinks this fact ifice intufficient, and far inferior to what the States are capable of making. The Hun. garian Diet has not explained, and it is not known whether the &orifice offered by the States is to be annual, or whether twenty-five millions are the whole fum they mean to give. The Archduke Palatine has beep called to Vienna to confer with the Emperor and the Minifler on there different . fubjeas. He was Rill thete whep the laft letters came away. ALTONA, SEPTEMBER 8. On the gth, an Englifh frigate, commanded by C tptaiu Stuart, anchored in the road of Travemunde. Be permits all veffels to fail out and inward, and contents himfelf with making the mailers of the vet leis come ou board the frigate. He informed Capt. Pleffentin, who has arrived il'om Riga, that he has no orders to treat the Lubeck (hips as enemies, but was merely diretled to blockade the Daniffi ports. It ,is probable that this frigate is deßined to blockade Neufladt. A boat from the frigate put on fhore at Travemunde for provifions, and a party of French huffars wgre immediately fent to take the crew—it is thoug:tr, however, that they efcaped. A Commiflion is appointed at Kiel to examine all merchandize, in order to e4cover Englifh property. Ships already loaded mutt fubmit to this invelligation, and until this takes place are not permitted to fail. Letters from the ifland of Fehmeren, dated the 3d, (late, that the preceding day there was an action with the Englifh off the town. They wilhed to cot a vet fel out of the harbour, but they were obliged to abandon their enterprise. ' LEGISLATIVE BODY.—PARIS, SEPT. S. After the reeding of the Prod: Verbal, M. M. De. fermon, Bowlay, and Berenger, Counfellors*State, in the name of the Emperor, prefented a prqd of a law relative to the Budget. • This projet, the difcuffion of which is to take place on the 15th, is divided into ten titles. The tit relates tr , the accounts of the years, 9, to, is, 12, and 13. If the fund of 60,000,000, which was fet apart, is far from being exhautted, it mutt not be imputed to negligence, his Majelly being ac tuated by good willies towards the lawful creditors, is the more anxious that unjaft or exaggerated pre tcntions should be examined with the greater atten- tion. The ad title relates to all the arrears, from the Revolution to the year 8. The 3d completes the credit neceffary for the ex penditure of 185)7. The difcharge of the public debt is a facred engagement. The Legiflative Body fee with pleafure that the Government do not demand from the nation any new factifice, an irrefragable proof of the order and economy which prevail in our finances. The 4th places on the fame footisg as in 1807, the contributions of ;808, and tuppreffes the so per cent impofed upon the land contributions, ji a war fupply. The sth opens a credit of tSco,ooo,ooo on account of the expenditure of tBoB- The recefs of the Legit lative Body renders this meafure neceffary, which is betides adopted every year. The 6th regulates refpeeling the receipt of contri butions, thedifpotitions made according to the firft - - _ enaament of the law. The 7th relates to the coining of pieces of money of ten centinms, of the weight of twelve grammes. This money, fo much more convenient than half francs and palter francs, will have an intrinfic value of 95 per cent. The Bth has for its objeet to give a new value to the intereft of ►onds, by reducing them to the Li4n dard of other fecurities—that is to fay, to 4 or 5 per The 9th tends to procure for public worfhip come refources in communes where there are not any.

VENICE, AUGUST 17. - . The Gazette entitled, Rrgio Da imam, has publifhed a letter from •Constantinople of the 17th of July, I which it gives as authentic. The following is an ex- traft : 4 4 The revolution which has _it'll been effeeted here, fo far from being finned, feems to recommence with the moR terrible fymptoms. Almoß all Afia refufes to acknowledge the new Sultan Muftapha. On every fide is reared the liandard of rebellion. Cidi Bafcia, the brother in law of Sultan Selina, having affembled all ;he dilbanded troops, who formed part of the Nizami Gedid, menaces the capital. Coffan Oglou, Kara Ofman, and Juffuf Aga, have likewife affembled a great number of malcontents, and are Marching in arms to Confiantinople. The number of the rebels amounts, it is Paid, to near 100,0Q0 They have feized and carried off to their camp the Dervife and the Patriarch of Cogni, the pretended defcen dant of Mahomet, the only perfon who can gird on the fcimetar ofthe Grand Signior, and proclaim him the legitimate Sovereign. Three thoufand cavalry have deferted during the night from the capital, and paffed over to Afia, to join the rebels. We are at length on the eve of witneffing moR tremendous fcents. It is to be feared, that the Sultan Sclim will perifh by command of the prefent Sultana Valide, in which cafe we may look fur the drama of rivers of blood." ROME, AUGUST u. . . We learn From Palermo that that Court hal fent_ all the treafures of the Crown to Malta. This eircomnance gives rif.: to various conjeltures, particularly as a great number of French troops have within thefe few days paged through this city, on their way to the fouthern pasts of the kingdom of Naples. LINTZ, (AUSTRIA) SEPT. r. • A Turkilll agent is arrived at Vienna, on a rniffion from the Porte to the Auftrian cabinet. It is believed he is charged to invite the Auftrian Government to acknowledge the new Sultan, who as yet has not been recognized by any European Court. It is confidently reported, that he brings intelli gence of the Grand Seignior having ratified the armi nice concluded between the Ruffian and Turkifh armies, and of hoflilities, which had been renewed, being again fufpended. ALEPPO, JULY 13. We have received here the details of the defeat of the Englith before Rofetta, and of their operations fubfequent to that event. On the 3oth of March, at feven in the morning, the Englith; to the number of 1500 men, advanced, with intention to potters themfelves of Rofetta. The Ofmanlis immediately reforted to arms, and prepared to engage them ; but Ali Bey, the Governor of the place, prevented them, and difiributed them in dif ferent quarters of the town, with a prohibition to fire a tingle mufket. The Englith approached, and fee ing no appearance of refiftance, imagined they fhould obtain poffeflion of Rofetta as they had done of Alez• andria. Several detachments, therefore, entered the town, without taking any precautions. At this moment the Bey ordered a general difcharge to be made on them ; the battle was fought in the greets, and fatted till ten in the morning, when the Englifli, defeated on every fide, fled and made their retreat towards Alexandria. They loft in this affair Soo prifoners, who were carried to Cairo ; one of whom declared, that the number of troops which landed amounted to 6000 men. On the Bth of April another Englith divifinn ap peared before Rofetta, and threw in tome bon s and balls'; but the Ofmanlis, encourage o by theirmer faced's, prepared to make a vigorous refiltance. On the lath, a Bofniack, at the head of 17 boric men, killed feveral of the Englith. In the mean time Mahomet Ali, Viceroy of Egypt, who for fome time had been carrying on operations againft the Mamelukes, who had retired into Upper Egypt, concluded an alliance with them, by ceding all the territory between Minich and the Cataraas. On his return to Cairo, he caufed a corps of 4000 men to march upon Rofetta, which the Mamelukes promifed to join. Thefe troops arrived at Rofetta on the 17th c.f April. The Englith were then en camped at Elko, and near the Tower of Ahourman doul. They bombarded the city without intermiffion, but without doing much damage. On the loth, the corps of Kiaya Bay made a fortie. He formed his attack in fuch a manner as to turn the two flanks of the enemy, polled on the heights of Abourmandoul. The Englith were obliged to yield the field of battle to the troops of the Grand Seignior. They loft 150 prifoners, and had issc killed and wounded. The Kiaya Bey aftively purfued the Englith, who effetted theit retreat to Elko, where they were ahrioft iminedizttely blockaded by the Deletis. The Englith mutt have been very ill in formo of .the Rate of this country, to aliens; t to make a conqueß with a handful of Maltefe, Sicilians, and foldiers colleded from every quarter. They mite from St. John d'Acre, of the date of May 26, that the Englith, after the numerous checks they have fuffered at Rofetta, have not been able to maintain themfelves at Elko, hut have rethed to Alexandria, where, it is fupp , fed, they expea foe. tour from Malta. This place, h o wever, c,%a furnifh no freth provifions, and the Englith mufk be put to' great difficulties. Soliman Falba has caufed an Englith General, Major, and inferior Officers, taken in the attack on Roletta, to be conduCted to Conflantinople, by a Capiga Bachi, who pays the utmoft attention to his prifoners, in confequence of the recommendation of M. Drovetti, the French Cunful at Cairo, who like ' wife !hewed them the greaten attention during their flay at Cairo. The French Officers in general, exert at their influence to alleviate the bondage of t he Englith taken prifoners by the Turks. This conduct is merely pal, and would merit no culogium, if the Englith in the IA war had not afted on principles direCtly the reverie. PRIVATE LETTER. 44 sF. PETERSBURGH (Aug. it ,O.
