Avitol,* PANSCOWA, AUGUST !. Sinee hostilities recommenced between the Turks .nd Russians, all commercial intercourse has been suspended betweu us and the town of Belgrade, be cause all those in Servia capable of bearing arms are obliged to march. 'I he Russians who remains at Belgrade are ready to set out on the first notice. Czerney Georges is al ready at the Camp of Deligrade. A grand affair is daily expected between the Servians and Turks. They still talk at Belgrade of new conferences be tween the Turks and Russians, but how can we be lieve it when every thing is warlike in these countries? They write from Turkey, that the stagnation of military affairs since the battle of Rudschuck, is but momentary. The Grand Vizier resolved not to con tinue them, till the reinforcements he expects, and which is marching from Bosnia, shall have joined him. A part of this army still occupies the fortified camp of Kadekia, other troops have descended the Danube. The Turkish army of Nissa has not been greatly reinforced; it has hitherto been considered a separate corps, whose operations had no great influence upon the general plan of the campaign. The Grand Vi. Bier meditates grand projects. Some thousands of Turks, and a great number of Bulgarians, have been employed since the Itch July, in rebuilding in part the fortifications of Rudschuck, the principal works of which were destroyed. We learn the Turks intend to re-establish, as soon as possible, the works of Silistria, Sistow, and Nico polis, which were destroyed by the Russians during the armistice, and long before the recommencement of hostilities. The Russian army is ready again to pass the Da nube, should circumstances demand it. It occupies many points where the passage is easy to be executed. Its principal forces are still concentrated in the neigh bourhood of Guirgewo, undet• the special command of Count Langeron. The fortress of Guirgewo is now in an excellent state of defence. All the Admi aistrations have returned to Bucharest. VIENNA, AUGUST IS. It was intended to assemble some corps of troops to form a pleasure-camp in Hungary, but we now are assured there will be none, because the expence it would occasion cannot be spared. The reduction of the army and granting unlimited lea►e of abience, still continues. FRONTIERS OF HUNGARY, AUGUST CS. Accounts from Belgrade state, that a corps of Turks, 3,000 strong, had passed the Drina in boats, and encamped befcre Losnissa. All the inhabitants of Losnissa, and the neighbouring villages, had fled; some of them to Schabatz, and some to Vailowa. Every man capable of bearing arms has immediately taken the held, and hastened to Losuissa, to drive, if possible, the Turks out of Servia ; they, however, daily increase, and press forward on every side. COPINHAGAN, SEPTEMBER s. They write from St. Croix, that notwithstanding that island it in the power of the enemy, the anniver sary of the birth of the King was not less celebrated !here on that account. The Councillor of Justice, l3ertragen, gave a splendid fete, to which upwards of 150 persons were invited. The supper, at which the King's health was drank, was followed by a ball, at which every person manifested the utmost joy ;—it lasted till break of day. The town was completely illuminated, and the Negroes, assembled in groupes in the streets, manifested their attachment to the per son of his Majesty, by acclamations, a thousand times repeated, of " Long live the King !" AMSTERDAM, SEPTEMBER 3. A young whale has been taken in the Zuyder Zee, about 36 feet long, and 17,000 lb. weight—its cir cumference is 14 feet. In the memory of mo, no fish of this kind has been seen on our coasts. ROTTERDAM, SEPT. S. Our Mayor has published the following notice : _ . 44 It being in the highest degree necessary, that i every one should be timely apprised, that as on the near approaching arrival of his Majesty the Em peror and King, many persons of high distinction are expected, who must be accommodated with lodging in private houses, it is necessary that all and every one that are at present in their country houses, give proper directions for having their tenements put in ofue order for the rceeptioa of the persons to be quar tered on them, in a respectable manner, whereof due notice is herewith given to the inhabitants of this city. (Signed) w. SUERMENDT." OPORTO, SEPTEMBER 5. From all that we learn here, it is thought very pro irable that active operations will speedily commence. The French, it is reported, have again obtained pos session of Astorga, and appear to be more upon the alert in that neighbourhood than formerly, probably on account of the Gallician army ; the militia corps are ordered to be embodied and ready to march at a moment's notice. The battering train will be in front of Ciudad Ro drigo on or about the 12th instant. British head quarters were four days ago at Fuentes de Guinaldo. It is supposed that the siege of Ciudad Rodrigo will Commence about the 15th instant, and that it will I bold out for some time. P. S. By letters this instant received, there is rea-1 son for believing that the report of the French having I entered Astorga, is erroneous. ELSTNEUR, SEPTEMBER e. There are now lying six ships and nine brigs, with some other vessels, in these roads, which is a eery un common sight. This is the third day that we have had fine summer weather. May it be of continuance ! ALTONA, SEPTEMBER 5. Count Gottorp arrived is this town this morning, and alighted at Frank's hotel. DORTNINGHOLM, SEPTEMBER 9. Ten o'Clock, Forenoon.—His Royal Majesty con.. aued all yesterday in a good state of health, and the attack of the fever which was expected yesterday evening did not come on ; and as it is in consequence to be hoped that his Majesty's health will in a short time be fully restored, orders are given to cease issu ing of the usual Bulletins. His Royal Highness the Crown Priace was gra ciously pleased, on the fist ultimo, to receive the congratulations of the Estates of the Kingdoms on the restoration of his Royal highness to health, which was pronounced by their S . peaker, Count Marshall *Baron Libencrante, to tau* Sopa Nielsen raAde a suitable reply- ,~,.: I.IIAICA P4PL t.• KINGSTON, JULY 25. The schooner Flying Fish, Moses Serena master, of Port Royal, was unfortunately upset in a squall on Friday se'nnight, about two P. M. between Portland Point and the Keys. Four of the crew saved them selves by the help of spars, on which they drifted ashore about two o'clock on the following morning, and were brought to this port in the sloop Morant Packet ; a negro man had his head and thigh bitten off by a shark, and another negro was drowned. master got on shore on Half-Moon Key, on cite of the hatches, and was taken off on Monday by a boat belonging to Mr. Bassan, of Port Royal, which was dispatched for that purpose. The Liberty brig, of 12 guns, Lieutenant Guise, has arrived at Barbadoes from this island, and car ried in with her the sliip Falcon, of Liverpool, which she seized for having on board 318 African slaves, with which she was apparently steering for this island when the Liberty fell in with her. Captain Robson, of the brig Mars, from New Brunswick, was the happy means of rescuing from a watery grave, on the 18th inst. Captain Brooks and eight seamen, belonging to the American brig Eliza Ann, of Charleston, who had abandoned the vessel and taken to their boat. From Captain Brooks the following particulars are derived of the disasters which befel his vessel :—" The Eliza Ann sailed from Charleston, with a cargo of rice, on the 6th of May, in good condition, for the island of Madeira ; she arrived there on the 7th of June, sailed from thence on the 13th for the Isle of Mayo, to take in a cargo of salt, anchored there on the 20th, loaded, and proceeded, on the 29th, for Charleston. On the 13th inst. the Eliza Ann was perceived to make an unusual quantity of water, to keep down which the crew were forced to be pumping every half-hour.— Oa the 17th, at eleven o'clock, the vessel was going free, with a strong breeze, all studding sails set, and a heavy sea running ; at half-past eleven, discovered four feet water in her hold, and shortly after the brig was found to be rapidly sinking, and the whole cargo nearly washed beneath the surface of the water, which was over the half-deck. The situation of the people being very perilous, the boat was launched, and a few articles of provisions put into her ; and the crew, nine in number, took to her, when she imme diately shoved off, blowing at the time exceedingly hard, and the night very dark. The Eliza Ann went down almost immediately after. The supposed lat. 22. 12. long 68. 30. The next morning they were providentially picked up by the Mars, and the people received from Captain Robson every attention which their deph , rable situation required." THE EVENING STAR.

Our Readers will see, with regret, from our Port Letters, that the equinoxial gales have set in with unusual severity. The accounts of several shipwrecks on various,parts of the coast, have already reached town. By the Ardsolt Mail, which arrived yesterday, let ters have been received from Riga to the 30th Au gust, from Petersburgh to the Ist, and from Copen hagen to the 11th instant, with advices from other situations in the Baltic, cf more recent dates. The exchange at Petersburgh was from 14 to 141, and trade was in a state of greater activity than it appears to have been by the intelligence of the preced ing mail. The letters from other parts of the Baltic are less positive than the former on the subject of war, and not a syllable is said of the movements of the Prussian armies, or of the commotions in Pomerania. One letter from Stockholm says, " We have strong fears of a Continental War." A letter from Wingoe Sound announces the sailing of the homeward-bound fleet, on the 15th inst. consisting of about 121 ships. Preparations are making at Rotterdam for the ar t rival Of BONAPA RTE. We have received Halifax Papers, with others from New York and Boston, the former to the 31st ult. and the litter eight days earlier. The first contain a great number of addresses from various parts of British America, to Sir GEORGE PREVOST and General HUN TED, anterior to their sailing in the MELAMPUS fri gate, on the 31st August. The Bonon Patriot of the 22d ultimo, inserts the subsequent ankle : " The President is at his seat in Montpelier; Mr. Mettler, Secretary of State, at Richmond; Mr. GALLATIN, Secretary of the Treasury, at New-York; Mr. Hasitvrots, Secretary of the Navy, Carolina ; Mr. Cvarts, Secretary of War, at other quac ten than the head quarters of Government; Mr. GRJAINGII, at his post-office, looking out for breakers; Mr. SERAIIIIIIR, the French Minister, either an inmate in the President's family, or a next door neighbour; Mr. FOSTER, the British Minister, at Philadelphia. This is all well enough in a time of peace and na tional prosperity !! Hail Columbia, happy land !" Whatever may be the opinion of the American ' Editors, influenced by party prepossessions, there can be no doubt that Mr. MAbtsoN and his coadjutors in office, will not come to any arrangement with the British Minister until after the meeting of Congress, on the 4th November, and we can expect to hear no thing decisive as to our relations with the United States, until Christmas. A letter from an Officer of high rank in the army of Lord Wh:LLINGTON, dated at Head-quarters the 4th inst. states, that the whole army was then concen trated in the neighbourhood of Ciudad Rodrigo, and that the meditated grand operation could not be many days delayed, from the difficulty that must naturally be experienced in providing the necessary forage for the immense number of fine cavalry which had just arrived to co-operate in the projected enterprise. The precise nature of the operations about to be under. taken, the writer does not pretend to be acquainted with ; but he expresses a persuasion, from the for midable disposition that had been made of our forces, that a general engagement would e.y shortly mite NAVAL INTELLICIENCi. EAST-INDIA SHIPPING. The Jo tve PALMER, country ship, from Bengal, arrived in the Downs yesterday morning. The Honoutible the Last-India Company's :,hip General Wellesley, (cartel), 85 days from the Cape of Good Hope, and bound to Morlaix, with French families, is arrived at azerhaven harbour. She pro ceeds to Portsmouth, as soon as she can receive a sup ply Qi fresh provisions, and that the wind permits, and subsequently to the French port mentioned. Limns IN THE GALE YESTERDAY.

PORTSMOUTH, SEPTEMBER 55. Arrived his Majesty's ships CLEOPATRA and Ban- BADOES from off Cherburgh ; and the CEPHALUS sloop of war from the Mediterranean.

Besides the Officers mentioned yesterday as havi arrived at Portsmouth from Lisbon, tinder the charge- , of Drs. NEALE and DRAPER, are General MiKisNo*; Colonel COTTON of the Guards, and the remaining wounded Officers of the gallant Fusileers, who con fessedly saved Albuera. We are glad to hear, that under the able care of Dr. ROSE, Lord WELLINGTON 1144.1 completely ra covered his health. Marshal BERESFORD was so much recovered, that. after organizing a fresh levy for the Portuguese army, he was about to leave Lisbon, and resume his corn. mand. Lieutenant-Colonel COCHRANE has been brought to a Court-martial, at Gallegos, in Portugal, on a charge of having written certain letters to his superior Of ficer, General A. CAMPBELL, inconsistent With mill. tary discipline: The result of the trial is not known. Marshal BERESPORD, in General Orders, Issued on the 27th ult. lays down a variety of new regulations for meliorating the process of Courts-martial in die Portuguese army. - . Yesterday a Quarterly General Court was held at the East India House, when, after the usual forms the Chairman stated that the Court of Directors had come to a Resolution respecting the loss 'of the ship Earl Camden, viz. The Court, takin g into ewisideratlon a Report from the Cort mittee of Shipping respecting t 7 .se lois of the Earl Camden, Resolved unanimously, That Captain Samscits, Commander and the several Oflice , s of the late Ship Earl Camden, he full; acquitted from all impsratioa of neglect or misconduct tu regard to the loss of the said ship. That the late ship Earl Camden was full.' and sufdclently found in anchors, cables, and other stores; and that therefore the own ers be fully acquitted from aU imputation of neglect in respect to her loss. On the motion of the Chairman, the determination of the confirmation of me above Resolution by ballot was fixed for the 9th day of October next.—Several accoun's relative to the conduct of the College at Hay lylaury, and the Military Seminary at Addiscombe, were laid before the C aart.—The undermentioned Officers were sworn into the command of ther respec tive ships, viz.: GEORGE NICHOLS, new ship, in the room of the Bengal ; WicuataiDoNat.osoN, Neptune; HENRY Reim, Roya l Charlotte.—The Court adjourni. ed till Wednesday next. The PYRAMVS frigate was ordered from Ports: mouth, a few days ago, to the Downs, for the pup: pose of taking on board a Russian of distinction r e d the Baltic, who had been in London for some time. After waiting awhile for the person in questien, or ders were received to proceed to the . Baltic without him, as lie was not ready IT his departure. The report of Etio's surrender appears to have been wholly groundless. So far from surrendering, letters of the 7th of July announce the fitting out a naval es pedition against Buenos Ayres, which ELIo designs to command in person. SPORTING.—The concourse of people that attended the race-ground at Yatmouth yesterday, were more than on any former occasion, being estimated at up wards of 10,000.—The whole of the races pasied oS without any accident, and the company departed highly gratified with the sports of the day.—ln the evening, the Assembly-Rooms, Theatre, and Gar dens, were respectably filled. Covrat a GaßDlN THEATRE.—The Tragedy of rut: John has been got up in the same splendid style as last season, and was yesterday evening Performed in a most admirable style.—Mrs. SIDDONS'S portraiture of Lady Constance was ore of the most animated and affecting representations ever witnessed. In her scorn of the Austrian Duke ; in her raging upon the infidelity of Kings ; in her maternal rebuke of the Cardinal's cold philosophy ; and p in the scene that follows the capture of young J./resat by King John, her wild expression of grief penetrated the heart of every auditor, and her maternal agonized feelings were displayed in a manner that deeply af fected the whole house ; nor indeed was she less sac. cessful in the other principal scenes ; and on the whole we do not hesitate to say that Lady Comte:nee never had so truly great a representative as she finds , in Mrs. SIDDONS. Mr. KENIiII.E'S King Johrs is finely elaborate, and uncommonly dignified and effec tive. His scene with Hubert, in which he communicates his wishes respecting the• fate of Arthur, is oae of the best acted we ever beheld :—never certainly was the hesitation arising from guilt or design more forci bly or strikingly depicted; and the energetic dignity with which he rebuked the insolence of the Pope's Le t gate, prodiiced the strongest effect upon the audience, and the applause vas tin:vet-W. Mr. C. KEISIBLI. as • Fassconbridge, Was also remat kably happy; and the play, on the whole, afforded a most excellent treat.

He cl;ed at Glasgow a few weeks ago of water in the brain.

Here he re. tired, contented with the little stipend which the place afforded, hoping to regain his health i i the exercise of a function so congenial to Lis mind. The writer of this saw and conversed with him last year in London, and he complained then much of a pain in his head, and a heavy swimming in his eyes, which rendered exertion of either body or mind painful. He left London and went to Dur ham in the spring of last year, where, by his amiable disposition and powers of native persuasive eloquence, he made himself beloved beyond the ra ng of those whom he was appointed to instruct. Here he resided, making occasional" excursions amongst the darling regions of poetical fancy, and most faithfully discharging the duties which he had engaged, to perform, of persuasion from vice, and of eutrectie virtue 6 1
