The troops that have arrived in Zealand with Ge neral Ewald are about 58co in number : their head quarters are at Rothfchild. An English brig of ten guns is cruizing between Zealand and Moen, with a view of obftrueting the paffage Captain Lufkow has fet off with eight pieces of cannon and two howitzers, to drive the enemy from that nation, in order that our troops may ex perience no oppoiltion in their paffage over. No counter.falute was returned to that of the Eng- Fib when they paired Relfingor, becaufe the Danilh prizes were among them. It has been fince thought that the falute was made merely becaufe the King of Sweden was in the neighbourhood. To-morrow, it is raid, the Swediih Envoy, Baron Von Taube, will fet out from this city to the head quarters in Holflein. As no provifion Chips have lately arrived here, the price continues to incteafe, with the necellities of the people. According to the intelligence this moment receiv ad, the ;mirage between Nyborg and Corfor is again free. The enemy's fqoadron of 23 fail have returned to the Northward, and it is expeded to fteer for the Cattegat without delay.

The rumour that the Porte has made peace with England has been prevalent here fevetal days pall, anJ alto that the Englifh Minifier, Paget, is again at Conflantinople. The nut Turkifh polL will of courfe confirm cr contradia thefe rumours. 2 t.—Wallachia is abandoned by the Ruffians ; not fo Moldavia, which, however, was to have been eva cuated, according to treaty, by the I(1 itiltant. The Grand Vizier is not gone into winter quarters, as at firft reported, at the foot of Hamus, a few marches from Ruffchuck, but in and about Adrianeple. A few days ago, a Courier arrived here, it is Paid, from France, with difpatches addreffed direaly to his Majefty.

The orders which our Government iffued fame time fince, prohibiting all interenurfe with England and the Englifh, have not only been renewed, but alfo extended to the emit of Dalmatia and the lo nian Itlands, occupied by French troops. In our kingdom, the intereourfe with which might be Co be neficial to the Eng fleets and troops in the Medi terrancan, all trade with them has been prohibited by a new Royal Ordnance. FLORENCE, OCTOBER i 6 The recent menfures adopted in this kingdom with regard to Englifh commodities, and the manner in which they have been commented upon in feveral foreign newfpapers, have occafioned the infertion of the following article in the Royal Gazette : • 6 , It was with great alinnifhment an article was lately found under the title of Augfburg in feveral foreign newfpapers, ccntaining arietures on the con dud of the merchants of Leghorn. and on the ordet s iffued by our Qtleen with regard to Englifh mann faftures and commodities. In order to refute the erroneous comments of the writer of that article, we deem it therefore neceirary to Hate, that notwith (landing the unexpected occupation of Leghorn, daily domiciliary vifit., a general embargo, and other fevere meafures, the value of all the Englifh goods found in Leghorn does not exceed 18o,oco pieces of eight, and from this font is further to be deduCted the amount of the goods which were fold in 1776, 1799, 1800, and Ifiot, by the Commanders of the trt ops which then took poffefiior. of Leghorn. and confequently did no longer belong to Englifh fubjeas. It is therefore obvious that the mea.fures purfued by the Government of Etruria are as vigorous as they are efficient ; that the Englifh have neither maga zine., agents, nor fellers io Leghorn ; and that fo far from Leghorn being over flocked with Englifh goods, there i., perhaps, no trading town which can bone of drifter adherence to the orders of its Sovereign than Leghorn." ST. PETERSBURGH, OCTOBER 7. General Meyendotf, who fucceeded General Mi. chelfon in the command of the army againft the Turks, has been difplaced. and the command of that army given to Prince Profovilcy. It is laid that his Majefty the Emperor will make a joniney to Witepfit, and vim the Governments in the South weft. C ONSTAN TINOPLE,_ SEPTEMBER ts. The Grand Seignior continues to exhibit a fingu. tar firmnefs of character. He bas adopted the refo lotion to reorganize a part of the troops according to the Nizam Gcdid, or new maks. He Teems not to tear the Janizaries in the lean, and has given public orders to Suleiman Aga, who has been in the Aunrian military fervice, to organize a corps of troops upon the fame footing as under the late Sul. tan, only with the difference of thefe troops preferr ing their national cnftume. A remarkable circumftance occurred left week, which affords a frefh proof of the Sultan's courage : in the streets of Tophana, he was preffed upon in fach a manner by a number of Janizaries coming from the cattle. of Fanaraki, that he was compelled to give orders to drive them off. The Janizaries confequently attacked his retinue, but the letter ob taining the affittance of the guards, a number of the Bollangis were wounded, fo that the affailants were compelled to draw off.' The refractory were, how ever, punithed witk fuch Severity, that upwards of fifty of them were firangled on the Spot, and good order rettored without any of their comrades once attempting to come to their affiflance. Another part of the Grand Seignior's character appears in the order given, a day or two fence, for beheading Prince Suzzo, tl.e Dragoman of the Porte, who, however, continued to exercife his flinaions with the utmost tranquillity, till within a few mi• nines of the execution of this fentence. It is fup pofed that this unexpefted event originated in a ed.; urinal correfpondence, which is Paid to have taken I place between the Dragoman and the Englifh Ad. aural commanding near the Dardanelles. Baron Bielefeld, the Prullian Charge d'Affaires, has announced his recal, demanded his paiports, and Signified that if they are tint granted, he fhall depart without them. The caufe of Ali condo& in the Pruffian Court, is impdted to an infult which his I Majefly has received, in the Teufel of the Porte to , loner Baron Senft Von Pilfach to return to his poll at Coußantinople. The above has formed the Tab. jea of a note prefented by the Pruffian Minifier. Admiral Siniaven has left Penedos, and carried with him all the Tork;lh Ships and prifoners which , had fallen into his hands. Difcontented with this proceeding, the Porte has furpended the fending a number cf Ruffian prifoners, upon the point of ; going to Sebanapol ; and k now remains to be fees how this new difference is to be accommodated. We are ignorant of the Rrength of the Britifh fquadrnn that has returned to the Dardanelles. The ' Government, however, are under no apprehenfions, as Several Frenchmen, at fire engaged is the defence of the Cattle., &c. have -moved from Dalmatia and THE EVENING STAR. LONDON.

Navy MIS Conf. ft r ace. 634 644 64 French journals to the 4th, and Dutch papers and letters to the gth infant, were received this morn ing f from which we have given fome extracts in the preceding columns. The Letters from Rotterdam Rate, that the prices of every defcription of colonial produce were on the rife, in expatation of the fupplies through the me• ilium of neutrals being at an end, and in anticipa tion of the meafure which is the fubjelt of the Sup plementary Gazette, which we had reafon to contem plate fome weeks ago. Various were the rumours and conje&nres to which the arrival of the French flag of truce gave currency yefierday. The pi evailing fentiment, however, was, that no flag of truce could come from the other fide, without bringing difratches, direly or indireftly, relating to Tome pacific negotiation; and, as might be expelled from the prevalence of fuch an opinion, the Stocks continued to maintain their rife through the whole of yeflerday. It is now, however, pretty well underflood, that the Mellinger who came with the Flag of Truce did not proceed to any of the Government Offices, but to the 'mute of Prince STA HILEMIERC, the Aufirian Ambaffador, and that the difpatclies he brought were from the Court of Vienna. Various are the conjectures as to the nature of the clifpatcheb; force maintain they relaieto certain.mea. titres adopted by Aullria for proteCting the ports in the Adriatic, and for excluding from them all com mercial intercourfe with this country. Others maintain that they relate to the negative reception given to the COUNT DE Lit.l.l—Had the difpatches been from the French Cabinet fome probability might have attached to this idea ; but this matter could no way concern the Außrian Cabinet. A third opinion is, that Auftria propofes to join Ruffia in a, media. lion between France and Great Britain for the re. notation of peace.—But in fa& the real nature of the difpatches has not tranfpired—and till it does it is idle to fpeculate on the fubjedt. The Fund., as our Readers will fee by the Price of Stocks, have again declined this day. We have, how ever, fome reafon to believe, that the difpatches, though addreffed to the Auftrian Minifter, have fome relation to overtures for a negotiation. The Ruffian Meffenger who came yeßerday with the Gottenburgh Mails, has brought a respell from the Court of Sr. Peter(burgh, that the Ruffian fleet, now at Gibraltar, may be permitted to come to a Britills port to be repaired, and to remain for the winter. On Saturday a Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Office, which fat from two till nearly half after five o'clock. Lord Vifcount jocr Lyra, Count UooLas, from Stockholm, and Mr. NICHOLAS, with difpatches from Copenhagen, have arrived at Harwich from Gotten- burgh : the latter Gentleman fet off for London, immediately on his landing, in a poll-chaife and four. The communication between Hamburgh and Got. tenburgh it again open : and an article from the latter place hates, that eight Hamburgh mails had arrived there, and the remaining ones due were daily expec ted; as the [mirage of the Belt was reported to be free. Au order has been received at Portfmouth to make the utmuli exertions in getting the men of war, which are fitting in this harbour, ready to go to Spithead.—The Vulontaire, Captain BULLSW ; and the Amphion, Captain HOSTS, went out on Saturday morning. The Intrepid, 6+, Capt. WORILST, went out on Sunday ; and Neptune, 98, Sir T.Wtwasis, is to be manned from the Northumberland and Maida, and go out immediately. The Africaine, Captain RAGETT Suceefs, Captain AYSCOUGH and the Comus, Honourable Captain PERCY, NEC or. dered to tea with the greatefl haße. The moR active exertions are making throughout the naval depart ments, and with as much fpirit as at the commence ment of a war.

The Royal Family ! of France have this feat in Effex, which the Marquis of BUCKINGHAM lent to them as a temporary refs. deuce; but the whole of their caablifhment is cup ported by themfelver. On Saturday fe'rmight the crew of the fhip Bell. of Newcaftle, Captain Hurciiissou, arrived at North Shields, from which port the failed on Friday afternoon, and was run down on Saturday morning , About two o'clock, by the Neweafile packet, near Stockton.
