Seer. x6—We have received the Londrn ' Papers to the Bth of September. Tut key is now tl:e chief objea of the attention of politicians in England, as well as in France; but the Englith writer , aired • to look upon the Porte as the centre of the intrigues of tome Foreign Courts, and to confound Fiance with Powers more interefted in the fubvet lion of the Ottoman Empire ; that is to lay, Raja and Eng• land : nay, even the latter lhould be excepted, if its I Government could call a lo A: into futurity, and had the fagacity to forefee the inevitable dtfafters which it prepares for the commerce of its country, by lending a hand to defigns which are fcarcely any longer a fe. ctet, although the Courts of Petet (burgh and Turkey fill preferve the femblance of concord. The conduit of the Ruffians id the Seven Muds, throughout the Morea. upon the frontiers of Servia, and even that oftheir Ambaffador at the Porte, fufficiently reveal the intentions which they would wills to diffemble, until they are ftrong enough to overawe Europe, in cafe they fhould not be able to redact Come of its great Powers. In thefe circumftancee, it is eked, what can be the intentions of the Court of Vienna ? That Court can no longer mi(lake its real interells, fo far as di. redly or inthrealy to favour this vat ufurpation ; to give itfelf, in the place of a quiet ally, more intent upon preferving than upon aggrandiiiing itfelf, tur bulent neighbours, an empire tuft in the dreadful vor tex of its aggrandifemenr, a people in the vigour of youth, and who, hemming in Germany on all fides, would Softly leave her without refotirces for her commerce, or Amity for her exiftenee. Costa, Juev 12.—Though the political flare of the former Venetian poffeffions, bordering on the Ottoman Empire, Teems to be allured by inviolable conventions, thole who onght to conform to them do not all teem to rerpat them, in an equal manner. A Convention concluded in doo. and guaranteed by the Allied Powers, fecured particular privileges to four towns, on the Adriatic waft. Parr, Preveza, Butrinto, and Vollitza. This convention has not been °braved, and the whole inhabitants of that di- Aria bave teen with allonithrnent, the attempts made In violation of it, by ALT PACHA• This reales and enterptifing Governor, in defiance of the engage anent above mentioned, has canted the territory of there four towns to be occupied by a military force. which bas excited great alarm. and occafioned no little confterna ion along the whole coal). The inha bitants made application to Count de /simile too, the imperial plenipotentiary, who reticles in our Wand, fat he did not think proper to 'matte any meal - tires which have the leaf appearance of hoftility to the nave, being defirons, moll fcrupulottfly, to refpea a power with which Ruffia is in perfett friendffiip.— AU the intervention he granted in this affair, is con fined merely to exerting his influence with the Divan, in favour of the oppreffed towns. At Corfu, and in the whole Republic of the Seven Wands we are happy to live under the new cosaitution, ;Nth we have formed ; it procures to us perfeß tranquillity: which is bead's enfured by the pretence of the Ruf fian troops By refraining the efforts of the turbulent and obftinate, the latter contribute to revive cireula *Ott our Wand, by the money they expend. There are tome people indeed, who have endeavoured to fpread bete, and to foment principles of anarchy. and to kindle the flames of difewd by means of their prejudicies, but they will not fueceed in their views, and thefe prejudices will, by experience, daily become weaker. Tatum. Sere. 3.—Althnugh it is obvinufly the intention of the .RufGan Cabinet to retain the whole of the Seven Bland% it not for ever, at haft for a coo. rnient time, the duration of which is only to be de termined by circumfk.rnces, it appears neverthelefs that the greater part of the forces have been lent to the ifiand of Corfu, certainly the molt important, not only on azenunt of its commerce and population, but, what is of much greater confequence, on account of ha military lituattnn, and the formidable Rate of de fence in which it is capable of being pit in cafe of a warwith ihe adjacent countries. The city of Corfu has always been confidered as one of the firongeft places in the Adriatic Gulf, and its harbour is univerfally admitted to be one of the WA and molt frequented. Its contiguity to the cm( of Albania, which on that fide n i ers no p o in t of eg,aoal refillance. gives it a dangerous faperiority over that province, and parti cularly fence it has been Rrengt hermit by an unlimited garrifon, which is Rill liable to be augmented. Though Albania has been long regarded as a pro vince of the Ottoman Empire, its inhabitants have never forgotten that they are the lineal defcendants of the ancient Elyria. Such of them a, inhabit the mountains flill ret sin the language of their ancellors ; and all o(them, under the appellation t.f Arnants, are conSderedlefs in the light of 'ireful fubjeas, than as independent Republicans, whole Cervices are purchaf ed at a high rate by the Ottoman Government.— They are excellent 'oldie's; their reputation for in trepidity caufes them to be much faught for in vari ous provinces of the Tui kills Empire. They never enrol themfelves for more than one crimpaign, or for . rive d ve months. This enrolment is made under a fin & agreement which they renew, if neceffary, but for the mutation of which thnfe independent men will fometimes not w..it, but they retire from the army and difband themfelves, if the lealt delay occur in paying them the price for which they have en gaged their perfonal Cervices. They are armed in the fame manner the janilfaties are, although they do not belong to that body ; and they are generally employed by the Turks to prntea the flanks of their armies, and to annoy thole of the enemy. Subjeas nt that defeription, belonging to the Porte, who have fometimes the hardihood to wage war againit her, would be of tl. greatell ad►anugetn Ruffle, fuppof iOg t hat Power not to have yet loft fight ofthe plans attach the is long to have meditated splint; the Syst.ins S . The pr•ffeilion of Corfu would • -. n that cafe, n 4 the greateti advanta r ;e, and the f•• n would nod, *ouch rather too late, its Ily .ndifferenae to c ,E.li4 .ctizes, alien e:Agented to open the Bofphorns to the ;mirage of each convoy of the Ruffian troops, which, though feverally infig nificant, may, when•united on a weak point of the Empire, become molt alarming and dangerous. If we are to form an idea of the advantage that the poireffion of the Seven Iflands is to Ruffia, and of the danger ttat it is pregnant with to the Ottoman Porte, we have only to take into our view the Hate of thole provinces which border upon the recent at quifitions of Ruffia. Eschtfive of Albania. fo dangerous to the perma- Ise Ice of all legitimate authority, from the chanties of the people who inhabit it, there is a (mothered fpirit of infurreftion in Bofnia and Sepia, which in. creafes every day ; and. as if the germs of revolt were not lufficiently powerful in themfelves, they have difpatehed their emiffarks in all direftions, to propagate thofe deftt waive principles among a people who have hitherto prefervest tranquillity and obe dience. We Gonad not be furpriled, therefore. to find that the port ani city of Corfu Gould become, much boner than is imagined, the focus of thole e. t e tterptizes which, if fuccefsful, may totally etange the face of Europe. The other Muds, which compote part of the new Republic, afford great con veniences fur any attempts that it may be thought neceffary to make upon Macedonia or the Morea ; but none of them offer fuch advantages as the illand of Corfu for thofe purpofes. It formerly ferved as a rampart to Italy again* the defigna of the Turk , . Henceforth it is not improba ble but it may be converted into an arfenal and a rallyiag point again* the Ottoman Power. There has been a material alteration in the relative polition of thole countries. Enrope bas no longer any Deter fity to el ea barriers again* the Turkilb Power; on the contrary, Tnrkey is reduced to the neceffity of defending herfelf. It is not above a century fit ce the Turks came. with a formidable fleet, to attack this bulwark of Chrillianity.; but the valour of the Venetian General, Count Suutusuao, effigies' by the Marquis De Matt, the Spanifh Admiral, whore fleet *ruck a panic into the Turks, preferved this important place for the Republic • of Venice. and flatue was ended to Scot:Luaus°, in the very city that be had to gloriouOy defended. In tytB. up wards of soon inhabitants, and fume of the fineft buildings in the city of Corfu, were dettroyed by the blowing up of a magazine. Had Inch an accident happened an age before, the Turks would not have neglected to profit by the difatier, as they had been then engaged upwards of two years in the liege of the town ; but the power and energy of that nation, formerly fa dreaded, was then upon the decline, while, from that period, the Chriflian power, of which it formerly was the tenor. has trebled its means and hs fpirit of encroachment. BUNS, Ave. 3t.—At a time when Europe is co vered with military camps, it is natural that the Came fpirit fbould be awakened in a nation fo ellentially warlike, as the Helvetic. The preform Landamman therefore, M. de WA rT A svm., is making particular exertions to revive it by exercifing the people, and making them good militia ; with this view he canted to be ellablifhed, towards the end r f fummer, feve• ral camps in the great Cantons. All the corps have fucceffively maneuvered in it. The troops, free corps and militia, of the canton of Zurich, have alto form ed a camp near Kloten, fume leagues from Zurich, under the command of Colonel Zieexaa. M. HA US. see, the Landamman's Adjutant General, adllled I there in his name. rit •It CY VOLT, S FT. t9.—The mifundettlanding between the Court and the States of Wurtembergi Rill remains nnadjufted. The public attention has again been recently direaed to it, on account of the fupport publicly held out to the States by the Here ditary Prince, and that even after he had abfented himfelf from the country. The following letter, of the slit of July ult. is addreffed by him from Paris to the Privy council and Chamber of Finance at Stutgardt : TO THE PILIIIIDINT, TICA•PIttiIDINTS, AND TROTT COUNCILLORS. &c. The etrunuftances in which our country 4 placed, atoll have en:raged the whole of your attention. We think it incumbent upon us to lay afide every thing perfonal to Macias; bad got an erdigktened and impartial public been long Ante convinced of that necafity, and the jußtee of the Reps which, In confequence of an unfortunate mifunderttanding with the Prince our Father, we have ban compelled to adopt, they would no doubt find our JulUfication in the nature of the preterit mina. Though we feel no lodination to Jaen the starlets that have led to that Rep, we cannot, however,furhear from a . public declaration of our opinion refpcdting the relent Rate of things: At a moment when the interpofitions of the Freneh Govern ment (which for the hall& gratitude on our put) had brought about the long reported convocation of a Diet of the country; at a moment when the French Government entertained with us the pleafing expedatlon, that by th 4 means would be re.ettablifhed that confidence between the Prince and his dorninioos, fo effen. tial to the welf_re of the country; that the rights of the Prince and the privileges of the tubjcet would be confirmed and the: legitimate matures would, with one common content and Co. qinutlon, be adopted, Es order to heal the wounds inaidted by the maR &farms of wars; its at that very moment that a nwR Peens pretext ie refereed to, for the purpote of tapping the very foundations of the Coottitotion ; and a kind of proceeding has been adopted, of which tie Unary of Wunemberg furniikes no example. The College of the Privy Council, whole p.culiar duty it is to watch over the privileges c.; the States, not only attempt, to Jultify all theft ads of violence, but even tome of its Members place thendrives at the head of thole who allow themfelves to be made the lediruments of that oppreffino, in contempt of thote du ties, to the performance of wbkh they arc bound by the folemnity of an oath. _ _ - . " It Is meads, on our part, to proteft azalea all that has hi theno beat done and may be dace hereafter. The nullity of the whole of that corded abfolves us from fuck a duty. But uwe fully adhere to the patriotic fentiments of the States, and of t►ofe Members of the Privy Council who afcountenance the of individuals. we declare. in the moll folemn manner, out only that we do smite wit► thaw in their endeavours for the re (flab ailment of the legitimate and conititutonal order of things, but that ado, when it (hall pleat PROVIDLA‘L to tab us to the Go vernment of there damndest/. of which we are by birth the inhe ritor, we tail ezaa the moil rigorous account at the hands of all thole who have proved rega►dkfs c f the* oath to maintain the Con- Mimi= I and that we tall permit Mike to take its orasary enerfe. We are the more convinced of the propriety of seta►:•ig this decimation, berade we cannot by a..y pollibility whistle out faces that the Prince our Father could have et r been induced to adopt (itch mer.furra, through any other Inftigukm, than the fug mftione o perverfe Counfeikes, of mm who have wholly forget tab. and difrmarded the facredoefs of their darks. We embrace t►u occafina alfo to nualfeft publicly 09f decided opinion refine:ling the fittution dour finances •Ttle well.ground cd apprehei,fions which on this fobica we meats* for the future, are of a nature to oblige us to declare, that we la® acknowledge as binding only thole debts, of whatever &atm they may be, that ►ave not been cootradted agreeably to the ufual abode pre krilictl by coaftitution." COPIKHAOiII, Sipa. s.—On the loth another fleet of Englilh merchantmen failed through the Sound for the North Sea. The (hip of war convoy ing it kited a vegel in the Cattegat, fatting nada Pruffian colours, which appeared to be attended with fapicious circumflanees. The crew were made pri. toners. SCHIEDAM, SEPT. 26.—SPYPT21 of the Diplomatic Corps, who have hitherto been abfent from the Hague, are fhortly expeited to return thither. The following is copied from the 141rtmentalt dirfibe Courant, of Sept. ay—.. A private letter from Hamburgh Pays, we are bufily employed here in dif patching all Englifh merchandises to the German territory; fince it is generally thought that the Ruf fian troops will effea a landing in that E .pire much fooner than had been espeded. From the fide of England, we are alto led to eve& an alliance be tween Great Britain, Ruffia, and Sweden, and pro ',ably Denmark." On the 18th, about two o'clock in the afternoon, divifion of the national fchooners of war, conliffinz of O. each mounted with threerpounders, four 8. pounders, and one s 4- pound owitzer, and 555 funds, French and Dutch, failed from Flufhing for Oflend t where it fafely arrived at twelve o'clock the fame night. During their whole ;mirage they kept out of the reach of the Englifis divifion, which was much Rronger- Much praife is given to the officers commanding this divifion, for the nautical (kill which the/ difplayed on this hazardous occalion. KOTTEIDAM, SEPT. z9.—The King of Sweden is arrived at Stroalfand, on his way to Stockholm. after having (pent more than a year in Germany. In tome of the Italian newfpapers it is affected, that the long contelledifland of tUlta is to be given to Raffia, in purfuance of an alliance concluded be• tween England and that Power. if this be confirmed, we !hall no longer be at a lots to account for the ope rations carrying on in the Seven Iflaruls, by order of the Emperor of Ruffle. On the sods of September the French Emperor and Emprefs arrived at Mentz. The Emprefs went thither by water, and was received with great cere mony; the Emperor difappointed the populace, by arriving at the fame time by land, and proceeding to his palace through an unfrequented greet, accompa nied only by his guards, and two regiments of ca valry.

Our Cadiz Correfpondent confirms the fad, Rated fome time ago in this Paper, that the remittances of bullion from Spain to France are tranfmitted through the medium of &idl6 men of war—a circumilance which, in the prefent Rate of affairs, furely calls loudly for the interference of his Majelly's Minn:hrs. GIBRALTAR, AUGUST a& " Yenerday the KINT, Capt .WNITI. arrived here on het way to Portfmouth, from the fleet off Tou lon, which the left on the tBth, all well. Our fleet then confined of eight fail of the line, and feven fri. gates; all the crews in good health, and in the high. ell nate of difcipline. The enemy bad an equal force fit for (ea in Toulon ; but they never ventured to fend a (hip b eyond the harbour's mouth. " Yenerday the Sorts la failed for Lifbon, with General Oates on board, from Malta, on his way to England. The Kent fails for England to-morrow, and calls at Cadiz, to take on board fpecie from there to England." CADIZ, AUGUST 24. " The Mutsu TRITE arrived here a few days ago from Vera Crux, having on board three trsdficou few; tundra tboufastel dollars in fpecie, on account of our Government, be fides large (tuns for individuals. Tato other frigates with three millions each, were to fail for this place in the courfe of two months after the Ass , trio vs. A large proportion of the fpecie brought in the Am an ITRITI, will be fent to England in the frfl Brit/ men of Ivor that call here, to be remitted from England to Boa A PAITI, by way of Hamburgh. You may depend upon this faa, and that all the remit lances in filver from this Government to Bona ratty,, are fent in Britilh mcn or war, as being the pick?, the Af f fl, and the mall advantageous way of fending money from this country to France. The dollar here at prefent is only worth four (haling' and one penny, in London it fells for 0. 6d. which 1 a profit of near 8 par cent. after paying all 'silences, and the ;mount is remitted by bills upon Hamburgh, fo that it commonly reaches Paris in 111 weeks from its lying !hipped in a Delta man of war at Cadiz. " A confiderable number of werlasrn are employ ed in fitting up the three fail of the line, intended to be (portly lent to Ferrol from ibis place ; one of them i. a fir* tate. MALAGA, AUOUST 23. 41 The fever within thefe few days has began to rage with great violence. On the t 7th the deaths amounted to eighty a day. and they have been gra. dually inereafing, notwithflanding half the inhabi• tants have left the place. We are in a mifmble &na tion. as our faculty teem totally ignorant of the na• lure of the difeafe, or the mode of curet three out of four generally die in their hands, of all who are attacked with the fever." Nothing further has tranfpired relative to the dlf pute with the Spanifh Government. The Spanifh Ambaffador has canted it to be notified to the Eng, lill merchants trading to that country, tha , ;le will grant the fame protection to Blips laden with fill, as have been granted to thole wit!► corn for the ports of Spain. On Tuefday, it is laid, palfports were rant ed to the Mailers of the different Spanifh veffels in the River, in order that they may proceed, unmoleft ed by any of our cruizers, to their refpeftive defti nations. Similar paffports were difpatehed at the fame time to all the out-pont, for any rails which they may contain belongiog to his Catholic llajelly. The following letter will place the recent infurrec tion at Bilboa in a more circumflantial point of view than it has yet appeared, from the cautions nature of the communication. that have reached us from Spain: Napa.

The thing is certainly not impoffible, but we are sot in. dined to give it credie ! A plicate letter from Hamburg's, inkrted is the Dutch Papers, Rates, that under the expe&ation of a fpeedy landing of a Ruffian army on the German Coati, all the Engliffi mirchandize is removing from that city, probably towards that part on which the debarkation is expeded to be !node. No further particul ats are mentioned I but we believe the expedation expreffed is not without fume founda- tion, though the event way not take place fo foon as the people of Hamburgh fuppofe. Th.: reports Rated in the fame letter, refpetting the projeCted alli ance between England and the Northern Powers, af ford no elucidation of the fubjed ; and appear to be the mere echo of the accounts lately publith:d in the Englifh Papers. A letter from the Hague, dated the sed ultimo. Rues as follows :—" Our Government was in daily • expedation of a courier from our Ambadador to the Emperor of the French, M. 4c9osesattan miNcx, who attended on Bowaraara, at 411-ja.

Inunediately after his arrival, he waited upon our INredory. and had a conference, which failed five hours. When it was over, the are/tory fent couriers to feveral of its members, who were on their elates in the country, dcfiring their immediate return; and Scittstiess.csa :ace dt.patched a courier to M. de Sissowvicce, the French Ambadador in this country, but .oho now accompanies Bo AAAAA TE in his journey on the banks of the Rhine. Some few hours after, the French Charge der 4raires received difpatches from TaccIT RAND, at Mentz, which he communicated to our go vernment in the prefence of the Pruffian Chair der iffairrs ; and in the night two couriers left this place, one for Mentz, and the other for Berlin. The cattle of this political bugle is the fooree of various coo. jeklures: The mod common opinion is, however, that it concerns tome immediate change in our Go- vernment ; and if the French Republc has an here. ditary Emperor, the Bat-Tian Commonwealth will Coon have an hereditary King. Others pretend, that to prevent a rupture with Ruflia, Bo has, upon certain conditions, propofed to evacuate Hano- ver, which is to be occupied by Proffian troops; and that, in addition to our other burdens, we are to take into our pay the French army now in Hanover. — There is no truth in the report in the German and French Papers, that Count de STABILISE/O. tlr Ruffian Ambaffador, intends to leave this country. As late as yellerday. we are certain, his Excellency had received no orders to that ere& Neither does the Swedifls Arnbalfador, Count Lowerojsess, ga ped to be ordered sway, having, lad week, renewed the leafs for the hotife he occupies.

His Excellency Earl Moran is gone to Glafgow, &c. to infpeft the Volunteers of that neighbouvhood. The mortality in the Weft-Indies has lately. we are lorry to learn, been great.
