The Messenger Basilico arrived here yesterday with the Ratifica lon of the Turkish Treaty, &c. The French rill plaint 'in a conciderable influence in the Divan : the very name of Bonaparte makes them tremble. Nothing but derisive ♦ictories of the Arch- I duke Charles over the eornmon enemy of Europe can, I believe, save this distracted empire from destruc tion. The Turkish Ministers appear to be infatuated, and to have lost not only the power of fairly distin guishing between friends and enemies, but even of providing for their own preservation. The Grand Vizier marches this day from the capi tal at the head of 40,000 J missaries. His army on the Danube, when assembled, will amount to nearly 150,000 men—a force fay competent to repel the 1-I , :ssians. But the fate of this campaign, like that (), every other in Europe, depends on the. fate of the 21, I ln army. C ur communication with the Continent is wholly c"t off by the Russians on the Danube, and the Ser vians and Bosnians in league with them against the Porte. Our accounts go up only to the 29th of May, when the Austrian arms had been triumphant. No positive business can be done here until we know more of the future fortunes of Austria. A Persian Envoy is daily expected here on his way to our Court. Sir H. Jones has succeeded in his mission, but the activity and address of the French is almost incredible. THE EVENING STAR. LONDON.

Senegal, with dispatches for Government Lieutenant WOODRIFFE and 80 officers and men, late of his Majesty's ship Soutzny, besides 50 French prisoners, came home in ' the Agincourt. They left the Settlement all well on the 30th August. The Agincourt experienced dread-' fill gales for seven successive days of Ireland. Major MAxwELL, of the Royal African Corps, had the eom- I mand of the Settlement when the Agincourt sailed. The TicnEss gun-brig, and TICKLIIR cutter were left cruising off the Bar. On the 7th instant, 10 leagues west of Scilly, the Agincourt fell in with two French schooner privateers, when they beat to quarters. Thee enemy came near enough to observe the number of men on board the Agincourt, and not liking her ap pearance, they hauled their wind. We this morning received some additional commu nications from our Correspondent at Gibraltar.— Their dates are not so recent as those which contained the address of the Supreme Council of Spain, as given in our columns of yesterday. They confirm, however, the reports of the dissatisfaction, of the Spanish na tion with their present Government. Some of the letters we have seen also state that the Marquis WELLKSEEY had made a spirited remon strance to the Supreme Junta, on the inefficiency of their measures to resist the subjugation of Spain.- . The following is an extract from one of the private letters alluded to : " GIi3RALTAR, SEPTEMBER M. .4rin/t 0 e THE ARMY. Letters have been received from Lord WELLING TON, dated from Badajos, the 21st ult. His Lordship had had an attack of mdisposition, but not of a dan gerous or serious nature. His Lordship is now nearly recovered. Brigadier-Ge nera_ / S _TEWART (Lord CAS. TLERSAGH'S brother) had also been unwell. Accounts from the Mediterranean bring a confir mation of the intelligence that the British - Expedition under Sir JOHN STUART is returned to Sicily. The Eleanor and Hercules transport brigs, arrived yesterday at Dover from the Isle of Walcheren ' with sick soldiers belonging to di ff erent regiments. They were immediately landed and conveyed up to the Barracks on the Heights. A party of nearly SO men were to march from Dover this morning to join their regiments, being nearly cured from their disorders I caught at Flushing. Captain ALLEN, of the 28d Regiment of Dragoons, who was returned missing at the battle of Talavera, has since joined his regiment. On Tuesday the 2d Berks Local Militia completed their 28 days of training at Reading. The great el ertioni of Colonel KEARNEY, Lieutenant-Colonel Sii Monts XIMENE:, Major WEas, and all the Officers, both to the men under arms and to their comforts in quarters, were highly demonstrated by the rapid pro gress they made in discipline, and their orderly com portment in quarters, which gained them the univer sal approbation of the inhabitants. On the last field= day the Colonel thanked the regiment in his anu the Officers' names for their good conduct, and the men expressed their acknowledgments of the kind treat ment they had received by loud and unanimous cheers. 44 God save the King" was then played by the band, and sung by the whole corps, with repeat ed and exulting huzzas. The men are now returned I to their daily habits of industry in the vicinage of their Officers with a mutual confidence established between them. The following is a private letter from Talavera la Real, dated Sept. 19: 66 I am not able to furnish you with the least news from this quarter, not even our destination for to morrow, though I believe it is probable the army will remain 'here some time longer ; and on our quitting this ground it seems quite uncertain amongst thelower circles whether we are to retire or advance. I am sorry to say, that fatigue and sickness have much di minished our force since the action of Talavera, and I am told by the surgeon of a regiment, that many men in the hospital have died, and continue to die, merely from weakness, owing to the fatigue they have undergone. These poor fellows are obliged to lie on the brick floors (for I have not seen a wooden floor since we have been in Spain) without any thing except the regimental clothing to cover them, not even a bed or blanket. gs It may not be uninteresting to you if I give a trait of the humanity and management of the French On a similar occasion. When Marshal Mortier moved down to Placentia with his corps, the Senior Surgeon of our hospital, which was pretty considerable there, went out to meet him, in hopes of making some terms favourable to the sick. Marshal Mortier agreed to all his requests; that the medical men should not be considered as prisoners ; and then asking how many sentinels he required, ordered a competent guard, and nn entering the town, visited the hospital, and seeing the men without beds, told them to supply themselves immediately from the natives, to the complement of, one bed for each man; it was immediately done. He next ordered his Commissary to issue a full ration of wine, bread, and meat to our sick every day, which was accomplished with as little difficulty ; though before the arrival of the French they were on the brink of being starved." Yesterday arrived the PREVOYANTE and Wow.- WICIT, with part of the convoy from England ; also The INTELLIGENT brig of war, with dispatches from Malta for England. 66 Affairs in Spain go on. much as usual—nothing can exceed the sloth and ignorance of the Supreme Jtirtta, and unless there is a change of Government, it will hardly be possible to save the country. " The utmost discontent against the present Go vernment prevail; throughot.t Spain, and the Junta are so apprehensive of an insurrection at Seville, that they have ordered ten thousand nun there from the armies, to protect their pers , .ns. 66 Marquis WELorsi.ry attends the Supreme Junta twice and thrice a day; but there is reason to suppose that he is justly dissatisfied with their conduct." Remittances in specie to a large amount have re cently been made from Spain to this country. The following letter, after our disappointments in the North of Germany, will be read with a degree of interest proportionate to the mortification it pro duces : COYEIV7' GARDEN THEATRE. *ORD nits has ,conclodea a Taaaty• at.

The latter was followed by— • " No Private Bono, no Licensed 137gnios;" which was held up in derision towards the private boxes, in which were several beautiful and fashiona ble females. In one instance a Placard was thrown from the pit into the second circle of boxes, with the emblem of a large key, and announced, _ __ . .. . " Convenient Apartments ; removed from the Key, in This was immediately seized by a gentleman who had a fine woman under his protection, and he tore it in pieces. The indignation of the patriots was in stantly testified by loud " and pointed allusions, accom panied by a volly of hisses and vociferations of Turn him out. The gentleman, however, manifested his contempt by turning his back towards them, and when he again looked round eyeing them with contempt. —This enraged them still more, and th:ir clamours became greater. Their attention, however, was soon directed to some lathes in an adjacent box, who re ceived several placards from the pit, with open arms, and pinned them to the front cushion. Bursts of ap plause rent the air, and the women were greeted with every demonstration of satisfactiod. The placards were handed through pit and boxes withoutfurther attempts to tear them, such proceedings having become hazardous to the performer.—The fol lowing are a few of the most prominent, all of which disappeared from the mere want of opposition : Uncouth John Bull, why breed a riot, Whilst Mrs. Siddons remains in quiet ? Hard-hearted Bull, why snarl and fight, When Stddons will play far £5O a night ?

John Kemble. - - • Eight more lines finished this composition, whi:h was torn before we could collect the sum and sub stance. When the play was ended, the storm cf yells and hisses was revived with more violence than before, until an Orpheus in the upper side-boxes drew forth his walking-stick, in the shape of a German-flute, and, played in admirable style the plaintiff Irish air of Coolun. It was heard with mute attention, and, like oil cast on the troubled waves, seemed to soothe the multitude into quiet : indeed, they appeared like persons bitten by a tarantula, for music alone seemed to have any effect upon them ; and the most boister ous part „ f the noise they mad:: was by singing in full chorus the loyal air of o God save the ding." Miss BOLTON played the Widow Bellair, last night, instead of Mrs. C. KENIBLE. ' •It was not a little ludicro"ts to observe with what perfect earnestness the actors on the stage and those before the curtain seen;ted to carry on their respective performances, as if totally indilrerent to each other. We heard no more of the boxing Jews, and there. I fore, it appeared that their sabaidizing aid was with -1 drawn. 1 The only symptom of pugilistic activity that ap ' peered, was between a hisser and a clapper, in the front boxes. A single round decided the contest in favour of the clapper. . 41 Westphalia, Sept. 26.
