and yet it is not eery to fee bow the evil can be pre vented, without eaufing a facrifice in a commercial point of view. The greater part of the annual fubfidy paid by Spain to France, is carried home to England, by Britilb men of war, from Cadiz ; and from England remitted in bills to Hamburgh, where it is paid to the French Agents. Within thefe two months, the following funs are Rated to have been (hipped on board the following (hips on account of the French Government, though nominally coi.figned to mer chants in London, viz. by the DIANA, 500,000 dollars; by the MONMOUTH, 462 ? 000 dollars; and by the Garnet's, 640,000 dollars. This is the only Cafe mode the Spaniards have of fending their (liver to France, which conftitutes tht greater part of their remittances, and it is attended with great advantages. The dollar at Cadiz is worth only four (billings and a penny, and in Lon• don, at the time thefe particular remittances were made, their value was about +s. 9d. which yields a gain to the French of about 7 per Cent. after paying freight, infurance, and commi(fion. It furely deferves the confederation of Government, whether our (hips of war mould be permitted to be the carriers of money palling from Spain to France, to be employed in paying thofe very armies which are deßired for our defiruelion. _ _ The gold can be traufported from Spain to France on mules, but the flyer, which forms three•fourths of their mode of payment, is too bulky to be conveyed a long journey by this mode of conveyance without great delay, expence, and inconvenience. A million Wing in filver requires 3000 mules to tranfport it, allowing each to carry five hundred pounds weight ; and the journey from Cadit, where the treaties, is all landed from South America,eannot be performed to Paris with a train of loaded multi in refs than two months. whereas by the prefent mode, it generally ieache Paris in lets than five weeks, with a profit of per Cent. and without rifle, after paying all ea pences. Another Hambntgh Mail arrived this day. By thit conveyance sccounts have been received, that the Ruffian troops which lately arrived in the Republic of the Seven Elands, have taken polleffion of an the important pont., and that the fortificatites bate been iepaired and llrengthened. The molt important article received by this Mail,is one that appears in the Peterlburgh Court Gazette of the eft inftant, and which is given in the fol lowing meaner : ST. FETERSBUStOI4, MAT r. A Copy of the following Re.fcript of Ilts bars ilAL MAJISTT to Count Maacotr, Counfellor of State, dated February is, was read in the Dire Ling Senate by Prima Prig! RESCRIPT. might be eximited from the menfare now earryini on in France. A private letter from Vienna, of the 6th inßant. (tares chit that Court had put on morning for the Dote of Upstate, whore murder had removed all re- mainiog difficulties between the two Imperial Courts, and that a Treaty was on, the eve of being fign ed for the purpolt of rear:plain the aggreffions of BONAPARTE. The following are the words of the letter alluded to: "The Treaty of Defenfive ance Oft concluded between Ruifia and Denmark is only the prefage of one upon a much larger kale, and fuch as, at the prefent crifis, appears indifpenfi bly necelftry for the tranquillity of Europe, and the relief of tortured humanity. It is confidently believed that the fame underftanding extends to the Cabinets of Vienna and Berlin, in which cafe that of London cannot fail to participate." The opinion thus etprefied is firongly fupported by the condua of the Court of Berlin, which has order.. ed it, troops in Wefiphalia to be reinforced with 30,000 men, exchifiVC of a corps of 20,000 lieffians; who are ready to march at a moment's notice. In every part of Germany v ti • is confidered inevitable; and, at the date of the letters, it was known at Vi enna, that fevesal French corps, as well from the interior as from the Coafi, had approached the Loiter Rhine. A letter from a Ruffian General at St. Feterfburgli, dated the 25th of April, lays. Count Woaormi, oar Minifter at the Court of London, it recalled, to fill a place in our Miniftry. The next courier froth England is expeaed to bring an anfwer, which will be immediately followed by a declaration of wet againft France ; a war, which, it is thought, will be more general, and conduced upon more liberil principles, than any war lace the revolution. Lout' KVIIL will be acknowledged King of France by all the Members of the Coalition, and all conquelts but in Ms name will be renounced. My camp equipage is ready, and I hope form to take the field." V 51111,41. MAT 9.—On the 6th inftant. Baron Ws. in:4l2ov arrived here from Peteriburgh, as a con• tier, and brought orders, among others, to the Ruffian Ambaffador here, Count Razustowset, to put on 'Dooming for (even days for the late Duke d'Esonten, which he accordingly did, with all the perfons attached to bis legation, and the other Ruffians in this city. _ _ _ The day after the arrival of this Courier the Ruffian Amtvaffador had a private audience of his bar ileum MAJESTY, and a conference with the Minifter of State Count Cossarzec. The Englifh Envoy, Mr. Smelt; SasITN, has not remained long at Baden, but continued his journey to Bohemia. Field Martial Lieutenant Duca has been feat with orders to Italy. A French Officer of the Confular Guard, arrived here lately as a Gautier, and immediately afterwards all kinds of reports were circulated. Some Paid ap plication had been shade for a patfage for troops through the Aukrian territory ; others, that fuch propofals had been made as it would be very difficult to .comply with. It is evident, however, how little filch reports are to be regarded. CONSTANTINOPLE, APSIL sB.—lt IS remarked that the Minifters of Ruffia and France refident here have frequently feparate private conferences with the Turkifts Miniftry, the object of which is Paid to be extremely interelling to the Porte. One of thefe Minillers had demanded of the Rats Er►asot a fa tisfadory explanation relative to certain connections of the Porte with another Power, and has employed ftrong expreffions on the fubjeft. It is feared here that the Porte will be involved in a war, unlefs fome accommodations take place. The difpute between the Arnants and the Begs of " COUlit AZIEADI Ivasovirsit—Since I recalled " you from your port at Paris, where you difcharged • your duty with the greateft zeal, and to my entire • fatisfatlion, it is very agreeable to me to have " found your conduft there confiftem with propriety, " and to renew my thanks to you for it, as well as " for the exertions you have made to promote my " advantage. As I with to give you a new proof of " my fetisfaition, I have ordered, till an opportunity " occurs of rewarding you according to your merit, " that you Sall receive yearly from the revenues of " the Poft Office sa,ooo roubles, and that 12,000 " roubles Mall be paid to you from the Treafory, to " indemnify you for the expences of your return " from Paris. This falary you will receive from the " day of your arrival in Ruffia in the quality of a " Milliner in the College of Foreign Affairs." One eircumftance attcnding the above, deferres particular notice. Although the Itescat PT is dated to far back as the isth day of February, it was not made publicly known till the tlk of May. From this it feems but reafonable to infer, that the Ex. trim( had fume time ago made up his mind as to tilr hilt of eondua he illould follow refpetßing the Fir , r Ccmsu ; but it was not neeeffAry that he thould, therefore, initantly proclaim his intention to the uotid. We were the fira to announce to the public the perfonal infult offered by Bo to Count Mat• uocr, and the fpirited reply made by the latter on that occaiion. " You think, Sir," faid he to the FIRST Congos, "that you may with impunity infult " me, becaufe of the diftance of Ruffra, bat know, " Sir, that my Mafter not only putrefies the means, " but the will to employ them in erasing the man who dares to infult him in the perfon of his Repre " ftntative."—Such was the language made ate of cu the occafiun to which we allude, and now the EIIR. r Lao,. openly approves of the condult of the Minifter, oho had the fpirit to employ it, and anuounces to the v.i.rid the reward beftowed upon him in contiquence. This Relcript, and the circumllances which gave rife to it, joined to the nature of the late Imperial N( :c to the Diet, (peaks more than a volume, and here for the prefent we (hall leave it. According to letters from Milan, the embryo Em peror is to have offered to him the Crown of Lom. hardy in the name of the Italian People. There goes another Republic! This, however, is only shat Egypt was occafioned by the latter not being able to pay the former. To raife the turn requifite the Beys laid a contribution on the city of Cairo, which «ea fioncd an infurreaion, and the Beys found themfebres entirely unable to furnifh pay to the Arnauts.— HuacHor Pacita, the late Governor of Egypt, who has fince lived as a private perfon at Alexandria, is laid to have induced the Arnauu to rife againl the Beys; and the former, after their viElory, invited him to come to Cairo, and take on him the govern ment for the time. Whether the Porta will confirm him in his authority, in lead of Disxsaa Paula, re. miins to be teen. Dessotw, Mar 4.—Mr. Maxi, the Englifh En voy to the Court of Munich, arrived here on the 9th, with his Lady, -and purfued his journey the follow ing evening. He was accompanied by Mr. Mt/pree, the Secretary of Legation. Mean, Mar s.—Yefterday a courier arrived here with difpatihes relative to the hereditary Imperial Dignity propofed to be ellabliflsed in France. The Con&lts immediately held an extraordinary affembly. It is raid, that the Crown of Lombardy will likewife be offered in the name of the Italian people to the founder of our Republic.

According to the account of tome Captains from the Black Sea, many (hips of war and tranfports are now lying ready to fail in the harbours of the Crimea. MAGI, s, May ts.—The camp of French troops on the heath between Utrecht and Amenfort, will begin to be formed next week. There is likewife telk of a camp of Dutch troops, which will be formed in North Holland for the expedition. Each camp, that near Utrecht and that in North Holland, will confift of to,ooo men.
