HAS:BURGH, JULY t7.—The Ottoman Empire is falling afunder on all tides with more rapidity than could havebcen prefumed. The SuLr..N has no children. Shut up in his Seraglio, he only goes , out to the Mofgae every Friday. The military hopes conceived of him in his youth, and which oc cafioned his being proclaimed with enthufiafm by the Janiffaries, have vaniffied. The SULTANA VALIDE has long appeared to have fume influence; and at Conftantinople, as in France, Naples, and in many other places, the influence of women has produced great miferies. When one part of the Ottoman army affembled to march to Egypt, a tingle movement of the Sul tan's, e ven the pitching his tent for one week within cannon fhot of his Seraglio, would have given en thufiafm to the whole army, and elatrified a part of the Empire. Yet, in the very capital, com plaints are loud and public ; and a Prince who is overwhelmed with the weight of the Empire, is in fecret the object of the national contempt. PASS WAN OGLOU, for ten years, has lighted up the flame of civil war in the heart of the Empire. The Court of Vienna has evidently fupported and en couraged that rebel. It would have been fuffieient for the GRAND SIGNIOR to have gone for a week to Adrianople, and PASSWAN OGLOU would have been defeated and annihilated. The GRAND SIGNiot did not quit his Seraglio, and PASSWAN °CLOTS, ftronger now than ever,adds to his means of intelligence, and increafes his own credit, at the expenee of the credit of the Divan.— Yet we know not whether there rumours are well founded ; the underflanding between PASSWAN and the Houfe of Aultria appears to be more apparent, and Auflrian and Ruffian troops are approaching the frontiers of the Grand Turk. Have thole Princes really conceived the plan ofmakingtheEu ropcan Oates (.I*Tin key undergo the fate of Poland Thesince of WALLACHIA has by extortion alienated the hearts of all his fubjeas. He pro duced an infurreeion, fet of for Ruflia, and Bu chareft fell into the hands of PASSWAN OGLOU. The ton cf the Prince received the news of his fa ther's flight ; he went to the Porte, inveighed againll the condo,3 and treafun of his father, and declared that he would remain a faithful fubjeet. The treaqtres which his father carried off are eflimated at twenty-five millions. The Pacha of PAUSAL has been driven from the City by a revolt of the inhabitants, and has taken telage at Jaffa. Pe. lia is at war with the Ruffian army. 'DRAWN Bey, OSMAN Bey, and the Tambotirgiie, are mailers of Favoum, after having routed the troops of the Pacha of CAIRO. Thus, on all tides, and in all countiies, is the Muffulman power tot .. 9 becaufe the Paehas are more eruel and more tyran nical than at any other period.—Gold t The treafures of the Seraglio are con fiderable—Armies All the provinces are full of foldiers—there wants but one man. If the turban of Sotymaw the Second, or of Se Lim the Second, were to appear in the midft of the empire, we fhould fee in an in- Rant innumerable and courageous armies—the Ruffians repreffed—the Crimea reconquered—all the Pachas defeated, the Mamelakes return to their duty, and the EMPEROR of GERMANY em ploying his armies iu the defence of Hungary.— ( • • • • . • • LONDON..

By the Martha Brae, TuOstas, arrived at Brif tol, from Jamaica, we have received a piece of in formation of a nature which molt people will be inclined to think extremely curious. Who for a tingle moment ever entertained an idea that the American Indians would one day (hew themfelves on the proud ocean as a maritime power Yet fuck is now the fat. It is true, indeed, the beginning is but (mall :—the towering oak, however, was once an acorn; and it is not impoffible that in future ages the hittorian may produce the fol• lowing fat as the fire inftance of the naval exer tions of one of the great& maritime powers upon earth : On the 21ft of June, Cape Antonio bearing S. by W. e' cant about 28 leagues, the Martha Brae (poke an armed fchooner, under Spanifh co lours, the. Captain of which (poke good Englifh, and afited her people if they knew of the difturb ance between the Indian General Bowtzs and the Spaniards : he then hauled down the Spanifh co lours, and hoifted a red pendant, with an Indian enfign, and (aid he had a commißion from Ge neral Bowtts to cruize againft the Spaniards ; that Ix had taken one fhip, and got her fate into port. He then made fail, and ftood for Cape An- tonio."
