FOREIGN I4VTELL:GENCE. CONSTANTINOPLE, .:PRIL Is. A Ruffian fleet of ten fail of the line has fupplied the place of the Englifh fquadrnn, which has quitted the Archipelago. It anchored a little below Tene dos, and has taken poffeflion of that ifland, where it difembatked three thoufand men. The Capitan Pa cha immediately detached fisteen fail of the line* from his fleet, and failed for the Dardanelles, with the intention of pairing them, and giving battle to the Ruffians. Intelligence has been received from Morocco, that the Emperor had formally declared war again(! -Raffia and England. The proclamation was made with a great deal of pomp. The Emperor, feated on his throne, and fur rounded by his Cour, made a fpeech,in which lie recalled to their reciilleailin the great exploits of the ancient Moms, and called upon the inhabitants to give frefh pr onfs of their courage. Shortly after, this defcendant of Ifmael Muley or dered the Englifh and Ruffian Confuls to quit his territories, and dillributed letters of marque againfl the fh;ps of both theft nations. The )3eys of Tunis and Algiers have followed the Emperor's example, and a great number of Barbary cut fairs are at this moment cruizing in the Mediterranean. SEMLIN, APRIL ts.

Mohafil having obfereed that the Servian nation would, by loch line of conduct, expefe i:felf to the fufpicion of the Porte, and the country-to a new war, and having reminded the Servians of the kind- nets of the Porte towards the people of Servia, while it had the power of deltroying the whole nation, en ded with infornting them, that by the treaty of peace with Servia, it was fettled that Servia &dd always remain a (tarot dinate province to the Sublime POrte, in confequence of which it was to pay an annual tri bute of 2500 putfes. After Mohafil Effendi had ex plained to the Synod all the realons which lhould in duce it to comply with the wilhes of the Porte,Simon Markovich, the chief Senator of Servia, declared, in the name of all the Members of the Senate, " that the whole Servian nation confidered i:felf as indepen dent, would pay no tribute, and would never fight againfl the Chrillians." He concluded with requef ting Mohafil Effendi to quit Semendria. Mohafil, in fiat, left the Affembly and the town foon after wards, with this laconic obfetvation to the Senate, " Good bye, Gentlemen ; pray recoiled what you have jull done !"

The Hufum Mail, due on Wednefday lag, arrived at a late hour lag night ; but the late arrivals from Holland have enabled us to anticipate the greater part of the intelligence which it brings. It is reported that Come of the private letters an flounce that the long expelled battle has at length taken place in Poland, but without any decifive re. Cult. The number loft by both armies is Rated to be about 30,000 men. No date is mentioned, but it is added that the French claim the viaory—and the 1 . firing heard on the French coati the day berme yef terslay, it. is faid, ferves to corroborate the report. We have not been able to obtain a fight of any fuck letters—Our own private letters, of which we have received feveral, mention no (itch event ; and as to the firing on the French coati, it is now known to have been occalioned by the Ct.rpc fi igatc, Captain OWIN, happening to pats near the batteries when (reconnoitring.

'. There is every appearance of war betwren the Algerian and Preach. You need be under no apprehention that Algiers will 1 intermeddle with the imbrorke of the Porte; on the contrackl fuppore they will be more eumplailant to the Englida.“ The above letter was received by the fchoonsr Whim, Foist's. Captain Foists Rates, that he wax. relent at a public entertainment given by the Dey, lat which the French Conful did not ma ke his ap pearance, becaufe the Dey had infifted that the Bri tith Conful fhould have precedence on the occafion. He adds, that the Algerines and Tunifians were at war ; and further that the Dey of Algiers was about to turn all the French out of his dominions. Such being the cafe, it is not likely that the Regency c 4 Algiers will pay much refpeet to the Firman . of the Porte. In corroboration• of the friendly difpofition towards this country, confiderable remittances have been lately received from the Dey, accompanied with orders for goods from this country. The Captain alluded to left Algiers about the end of March, at which period the capture of Alexandria had been announced there. THE ARMY.
