The Servian insurgents and the Russian troops which were at Belgrade, and some other towns of Servia, have suddenly set out for the frontiers with a great deal of artillery, on hearing that a considerable Turkish corps was in full march from Bosnia towards Bulgaria. Should the Russians not come speedily, and in great numbers, to the aid of the Servians, the „latter will probably be attacked with great vigour in the course of this month. Belgrade.. Schabatz, and Semendria, have been provisioned for several months by the Servtans, who have also warlike stores in abundance which they receive from the Russians. NAPLES, AUGUST iy.

It was the intention,of Count Otto, the French Ambassador, to give a brilliant fete on the 15:h at his country house ; but he gave up the idea because all the ladies, who would have formed its ornament, were absent from the capital. His Excellency there.' fore resolved to give only a splendid dinner, at which were present the Ministers, the Great State Functio. .a; _ par_ age and sex, and the picture of joy and happiness shone on their faces. The great water-works played at siz o'clock; at that moment their Majesties aFpearra in the gardens, of which they made the tour, amidst the most lively acclamations. Great preparations had been making for four or five days before in the delicious gardens of Trianon ; but yesterday the weather had been cloudy in the morning, and at three o'clock a copious shower exci ted tears that the beauty of the evening would not answer the hopes that had been formed. Fortunately, what had been feared as unfavourable to the fete, embellished it still more ; no more rain fell than what sufficed to refresh the burning atmosphere, and lay the troublesome dust. At six o'clock the sun shone out, and it was one of the mildest and most agreeable ►ummer evenings. We shall not attempt to retrace all the enchanting scenes which followed—the richest imagination could said naries, the Diplomatic Body, and the most distin guished foreigners. Letters from the Turkish frontiers announce, that great discontents prevail in Moldavia and Wallachia, on account of the destruction of the fortress of ltuds ,ck with ' , small - it might not form an idea of them ; and we _Sy assert, that the most splendid and the most polished courts never witnessed a fete comparable to that which was yester day presented to our cherished Empress. All the lines of building of the great Trianon were ornamented with v..riegated lamps, and presented the most magnificent appearance, resembling a palace at fire. The gallery presented a spectacle no less en chanting ; there were there 600 temal. s shining in all the graces of youth, and adorned with all the most precious productions of India, and the most perfect efforts of French indu s try. At eight their Majesties appeared, and traversed the whole length of the gal-' lery. The Empress spoke to every body with the greatest goodness. This amiable Princess, who has lived in France only twelve or fifteen months, in ad dressing the ladies, said obliging things to every one. She conve-sed with them in tun► about their families,' land all the objects of their affection. From the man• ner in which she spoke of every thing interesting to them, one would have said that she had been born on I the banks of the Seine. At nine their Majesties repaired to the Theatre, I which is situated beyond the Littli Trianon. From I the fear of bad weather, an extensive awning had been erected, which was ornamented with foliage, and ear lpeted under foot in all its extent. _!_ - _ The representation began at a quarter past nine ; the play was 1.4, Pro*: 1e Mariaze. This piece was followed by another written for the occasion, called, La Grande Famille, or La France ea Miniature, written by M: de Chaze:. In this piece the French come dians, those from the Theatre Feydeau, and Buf foons were united. At the end of the piece the principal Opera dancers performed a fine Ballet.

" M. 020024NAT202—r have to inform you of a very sad event which has happened in this road yes terday, at five o'clock in the afternoon. The con boy, escorted by the Teaser, which sailed in the morning, was, per signal, said to be returning into the river, not being able to double Mammusnn.—A signal was also mule for two large frigates having the ~French colours flying at the main and mizen-masts, -with a blue flag at the topmast. Ea it% were then sent off to these two vessels supposed to be French, btu the pilots did not return : at night the frigates an 'chored at Point de Grave, and put up lights, In this state of things one could have no suspicions in respect to these ships, nor presume they were ene mies. On the 25th, at seven in the morning they set sail, and mancsuvred to mach Verdun. M. Du bourg, commander of the corvette le Pluvier, then went in his boat to go on board the frigate hay. fag the Commodore's pendant. " Soon after the two frigates sailed towards the Teaser and Pluvier ; one reached the Teaser, axe " away her topmast, and commenced abrisk fire yard arm and yard arm; the other which directed her course for the Pluvier, which was anchored near Pot Vie. I Here ; this corvette quickly made sail to get into Royan, which she happily executed. Then the fri. gate let go two anchors and cannonaded her two hours without effect. Messrs.

English frigates entered the Girond on the ni,..tht the 24th, lravog French colours heiited,and 'email - id there the night. On the 25th, they approached and took the Teaser, after an obstinate resistance.— The Captain of the frigate, Ditbering, fully persuad ed that the frigates were French, had, as it appears, gone on board one of them. —Such arc the details which I have received concerning this unfortunate event. It is extraordinary that, notwithstanding the signals, the enemy's frigates were tint known t” the seamen, by the way in which they were rigged—that the pilots had not been on board—that they were cot hailed, and that they were allowed to remain twelve hours at anchor without being more ohsely reconnoi. tred ; this is an inconceivable thing. It has been told me, that the convoy which had sailed not having been able to double Point Courbre, the brig Teaser which escorted it was met by the frigates, and 0)74 Captain Papineau hailed the fort not to fire, becak, e they were the frigates the Elbe and the Pallas. Tl.e manoeuvre of these two frigates was known by the signal vessel (Semaphoris) on their sent king ow the road of Basque, as signals were then made that they were enemies.—Deign.
