Sr. PETERIBURGH, JULY 3..—The CZARINA of ItTIN sit RYA, who governed the kingdom during !lie minority of her fon,aged ;1 years,was the vic tim of a (.0111 - piracy of the principal boyars of the country. Her fon was thrown into prifon, but the efLaped by Itratagem the perfecutions of the rebel chiefs, and made a journey of 13co German miles, partly on horfcbacL, and partly in a kibitka (a kind of chaife), to Peterfburgh, to implore the al l:Rance of the EMPEROR. The Eme EROR has ac corded a body of 16,0c0 men, to Ala her in the recovery of her kingdom. This State lies upon a level with Mount Calmat - Its, and contains r ,sco,ooo inhabitants, and is governed by an Emperor, who has the title of Czar. The CZARINA is a tall well-formed woman, of 36 years of age. The Rep the has taken is a proof that her refolution and tendernefs for her fon are above all regard to dan ger and difficulty. Aea 3.—Concerning the journey of the EMPRESS, to have an an interview with her filler the QJJEEN of SWEDEN, We learn, that her IMPE RIAL NIAJESTY arrived on July 27, at ten in the evening, at Wyburg, and immediately went to the dom, or cathedral church, where the was received by the clergy, and then pallid the night in the houfe of the Governor, where the nobility were prefented to her.

On the 28th (he pailed the night at Fredericlham, and arrived on the 2oth, at noon, at Aborfors, while her illußrions filler was already arrived, at little Aborfors, on the Swedifh frontiers, and immedi ately came to join her.

FRANCE. ARMY OF ST. DOMINGO. RETRACT FROM THE OFFICIAL GAZETTE OF SAINT DOMINGO. ORDONNANCE OF THE GENERAL IN CIIIE►, ON THE EXIST ING RELATIONS BETWEEN Tilt CIVIL AND MILITARY AUTHORITY.

The Adminiftration of the Colony is charged with the rail ing of Impoflsto provide for the fupport of the Troops in the Colony by I.and and Sea. In this (tats of things, the Admi niftration will frequently find itfelf obliged to have recourfc to thc Military Authority. In conlequence, whenever thc Colo nial Prefeet Thall want the intervention of the Armed Force, he than addrefs himftif to the General in Chief, who will give ordt rs conformable to his requeft. Whenever a Sub-Prefeel of Department than want the in tereention of the Armed Force, he (hall added*, himfelf to the General Commandant of Divillon, who (hall aflift him with all his power.

REFLECTIONS ON THE ENGLISH JOURNALS. The Englith Journalifis think them felves a power in Europe, in confequence of the privilege which they have arrogated to themfelves of infiilting and arm fing every government. In this fence it was that J. J. ItrivssEau ironically laid, " a piftol is alfn a power." What can be the motive of fuck an excels of audacity or infamy ? for does not an attack upon the fupporters of civilization, the defenders of fo cial order, and the role political indrument of na tions for their common fecnrity, tend to introduce difordcr into all regular focieties, and to deliver mankind a prey to anarchy, and the moil dread. ful paiTions ? Is it not to lubtlitute calumny and ablife for a public police, and public morality ? Is it not to annihilate all the benefits cl univerfal le giflation by a periodical abide of the liberty of thinking and writing? Is it not to turn the execra• tion of men united in fociety againit one of the moll admirable inventions of the human mind? Will not the preps, which teems deflined to unite men, to coiled knowledge, and to (often the man ners, become, from the fatal ufe made of it by the Englith Journalifts for fume years, the molt ac tive inflruments of difobedience to the laws, of civil dillurbances, infolent defamations, and end revolutions ? The Englifh Journalills have become with re. (peel to printing what dealers in poifon are in re• Bard to chemillry. Both have availed themfclves of the progrefs and the difeoveries of there two fublime arts to empoifon at once both Govern ments and Citizens, morally and phyfically. A pol;tical Icourge of this deteription Ihould, for the fake of public tranquility. be denounced by all Europe, wife and enlightened L, long Pantry reverfis, and by terrible experiments during twelve years. The general uncial of nations, and the combined force of Governments, fhould put a flop to it:, ra- vages, or array every power in arms avinfk its mut derous influence. To Mien to thefe flanderous Jour:lA(ls, you would fuppofe them the avengers of public liber ty, while they are merely the degraded organs of fome rich faitions, or fome difcontented parties. To fee their extreme irritability when their in velives and their defamatory flyle is complained of, you would take them to be the arbiters of public opinion, while they are but the vile mini- Eters of certain pallions, prodigal of money and fpleen. To fee the favage ferocity with which they make their daily attacks,by means of fiaitious anecdotes, and fails generated from the mof infipid calumny, you might be apt to regard them as the generous defenders of the liberty of the prefs, while they are only awkward confpirators again!" this facred right of civilized nations ; from their mifchievous and feditious produitions one might infer that they have formed a coalition to excite hatred againft, and to provoke refiraints upon, the facred right of exprelling one's opinion. It is not bold and energetic writers, not courageous philofophers, who have made Governments dread the unlimited liberty of the prefs. It is calumniating and defa matory Journalifts who have fuggeftcd the idea of reltraining, fubjeaing to cenforthip, and fuper. intending the miftakes, the abufes, and the ex ceffes committed under the facred name of this general liberty. The mifchievous intentions, the hottile views, and the fecret projeas of the Englith Journalilts are well known : One dais of them are the inaruments of an Ex- Minillerial party, who have a predileaion for a war of extermination, and who are inceff.intly, by their willies, their intrigues, and their patilons, preparing materials for this eternal war. This party lea ft.metimes in the troubles of European Turkey, and at others in the defenfive fyflem of our Welt India Colonies, for pretexts to excite the feat s and fulpicions of the Cabinet of St. James's, or to low the feeds of divifion between the Govern ment of France and the other States of the Con tinent. The others are the oracles of a fanatical, reft left, and turbulent party, which inceffantly la bours under cover to inoculate France with the blind furor of democracy. This party has in a manner conflituted itfelf the guardian and protec tor of a democracy always difcontented with the liberty eflablifhed in the other countries of Europe, but who• are very careful not to make praelical application of their principles in their own country. Both are alike the enemies of France, alike dif pofed to exaggerate liberty and flavery, alike dif poled to fan the flame of civil difcord in France, to cry down all its forms of government, and to afperfe all its gpvernors. Thefe two dales of Journalifts, whether Whig: or Tories, have con- Rantly indulged in abufive harangues againft the LA King of France, againft the Conflituent Af. fembly, the Legiflative Afrembly, the Convention, the two Councils, the Executive DireCtory, and the Confular Government. No Conftitution of Frenchmen has given them fatisfaetion, neither that of Monarchy, nor that of the Republic. It is probable that the only plan with which they would have been better pleated, is. the organifation of the war of La Vendee. No diplomatic propofal of the French obtains I their affent. Is the Confular Government anxious to confolidaie the general peace, by accelerating the adjuftment of the indemnities in Germany ? the Englifh Journalifts exclaim that it is an excels of power and influence.—Does the Confular Govern ment with to re-eftablifh the defenfive fyflem of our colonies ? the Englifh Journalifts infinuate that the Fir(' Conful is purfuing views of ambi tion in the Weft Indies. Are the revolts of the Pachas multiplied in European Turkey? the Eng lifh Journalills fabricate a plan of partition which they attribute to that Government, whole pacific influence is an objed of hatred to their turbulent venality. No internal organization of France meets the approbation of there Journalifts. From the man ner in which they decide, and in which they judge of the French laws, one would fuppofe that they think themfelves exclufively inverted with the Con fituent power of France, and even of all Europe. We than loon examine, in a fucceeding number, the tendency of this fadious, acrimonious, partial, and inflammatory centorrhip, which the Journals exercife without power, without million, without juftice, and without shame. Anourr the xzth of Meffidor haft ( July 1), an Englifh flip, the Majefty, Capt. Not.nimos, having on board a detachment of 3so troops, was driven by a form on the coaft of Port Bail, in the department of la Manche. As the darknefs of the night and the violence of the form prevented the velrel from being obferved, guns were fired as a fignal of diftrefs. Citizen CrIRMAIN GODEREL, cannoneer of Port-Bail, hear ing this noire, threw himfelf into the water,reached the velfel by fwimming, and being hoilled on board by means of a rope, encouraged the crew, and informed them they were on the coat of France : he then threw Mental again into the lea, and having fwam back to the Ihore, returned Tome time after with pilots. The prefervation of an Englith wird and her crew, together with a con. fiderable detachment of troops, was owing to the courage and humanity of a French foldier. Five per cents, 51 fr. 4o c. FROM THE PARIS PAPERS. Bou Loam E, Auc. 20.—The labours of our port arc profecuted with the greateß aCtivity. The carpenters work of the quays is finifhed, and the workmen in great numbers are day and night em. ployed in filling up and digging the canal. It is really a curious fpedacle to fee the multitude of workmen continually going backwards and for wards in the water, and the great number of fires placed at certain digances, and which, refleCted from the furface of the water, feem multiplied without end, adds to the grandeur of the fcene. A great many &angers, and particularly Eni;lifli, arrive here daily. The rent of our coun try-houfes is almoa doubled Gate the peace, and apartments in the town are vary day dearer and framer. BARCELONA, JULY 24.—The Spanith form:lron which is to proceed from Carthagena to Naples, to take on board their SICILIAN MAJESTIES, is ready to fail, but will not put to fea till the ,sth of next month. GENOA, Atrourr 14.—The inffallation of the new Doge, Citizen JEROPIR Dußazzo, took place laft Tuefday morning, in the large Hall of the National Palace, and was performed with great folemnity in the pretence of C. SALICETTI, the French Plenipotentiary, the whole Diplomatic Body, Generals GARDAKNE and SPINOLA, and all the Officers of onr troops : an uncommon concourfe of people attended on the occafion. When the Senate had taken their feats, the Se• cretary General read with a loud voice the letter to the Flasr CONSUL, in which the commiffion of Government announced the ceffAtion of their funetions, and thst in which the Firft Conful, in name of the Confulta, invited them to choofe for the &ft time the Members of the Senate ; he then read the letter of the Senate to the Firlt Conful; the decree for the eletction of a Doge, and in the laft place the letter of BONAPARTE to the Senate. This morning the Cardinal Archbifhop waited on the Senate to offer his congratulation, on which &cation he made the following fpeech : " Deßined by PRovtostics to the fpiritual Go vernment of this illuffrious Metropolitan church, though unworthy of it, I could not meet my peo ple in a more fortunate moment than that in which the fate of the Ligurian Republic is glorioufly efiablithed on the firmeß foundations. " I beg you, Citizen Doge and Citizens Senators, to confider me always not only as the Pallor of this beloved flock, but as a Citizen of this Repub lic ; and you ought to be affured that I 111411 be always zealous to ftipport our holy Catholic re• ligion, to thew the ftri&ell obedience to Govern• ment, and to do every thing as fa as depends on my miniary to promote the tranquillity and hap pinefs of the State. " My Epircopal charaaer, and thofe infignia with which I am invelted, ought to be pledges to you of my candour and of the fincerity of my fen timents ; as your piety, Citizen Doge, and your zeal for the public good, Citizens Senators, are to me, of the fpecial protedion which the Govern ment will always grant to the Apollolic Roman Catholic Religion, as well as to all its Minifters." The Doge replied as follows : " Citizen Cardinal Archbifbop—The Senate of the Ligurian Republic waited for you with impa tience. The virtue and talents by which you are di ilinguiffied, the fidelity an constancy with which in difficult times you performed the grcd tett duties; the wifdom and fitgacity with which you conclud ed to an end, the molt important commiffions ; the labours and merits which have rendered you worthy of the facred purple, make us behold in you with unfeigned fatisfatlion a fellow citizen, and conceive the belt hopes in acknowledging you as our Archbiffiop. You come at a time when a new Government called upon to fix the deffiny of the Republic, is fenfible of the utility of your co operation. " You know how ranch the good Ligurians have at all times diftinguilhed themfelves by their attachment to the Catholic Apoßohe and Roman Religion, which has always been the fundamental principle of all their Conflitutions, and it is well known, how dear to them is the voice of their Minifters, and what influence it has on their hearts. " You well know how to fecond with your zeal, and to enforce by your example, the intentions of Government, which are certainly in unifon with your own, and which will have no other object in view than the publick felicity, and our co-opera tion, to procure to the people the greateft happi• nefs by our means, and refpedive attributes will be perfeet and unalterable. " Illuftrious companion of the laft days of Pius VI. Minifler and Nuncio of the wife and pacific willies of the reigning Pope, you have great models of holinefs and prudence to imitate. The Senate of the Ligurian Republic receives you into its bofom under the belt aufpices, and confi ders this day as one of the molt fortunate for the Republic." LOPw DON. MONDAY, AUGUST 30.

This unhappy PRINCE, whole mind is much depreffed by the great calamities and humiliations he has experienced, has written letters both to FREDERICK and ALL XANDER, thank ing them for their magnanimous offer, but inform ing them, that he begged leave to decline any Ripulated Cum, but would appeal to them on pro per occafions for what little his exigencies might require, in the proud hope of repaying all on the day of his reftoration. A Court Martial was on Friday held on board the Phoebe at Sheernefs, fnr the trial of the gun ner of the Ranger, of 18 guns, for careleffnek with refpeet to the magazine, in confequcnce of which the flip was nearly loft. The Ranger WAS at the time employed in conveying volunteers from Deptford to Sheernefs, and providentially all the powder was taken out, except fuch as was kept for the centinels—this caught fire, aad exploded with great violence, letting the (hip in flames, and (lie was raved by fcuttling the decks, and half tilling her with water.—The prifoner was found guilty of negligence, feverely reprimanded, and mulled four months pay. • On Saturday fe'nnight fome gunpowder acci• dentally caught fire in a room of a honk, tic bot tom of Shaw, s•brow, Liverpool, which forced the windows out, and fet fire to the clothes of a wo man therein, who threw herfelf (all in flames) out of a one-pair of (lairs window, and was caught by fome men, without any further injury than bung feverely fcorched. On Sunday fe'nnight, at noon, a confiderable number of houfes were burned in the town of Thurles, Ireland. Two boys had been firing . fquibs, when the wadding lodged in the thatch of a houfe, which, from the intcnfe heat of the day, WAS more than ordinarily combuffible: and the wind, light as it was, blowing unfortunately on the town, dire&ed the flames that way with filch fury, that above 5o dwellings and offices 'ere confumed, and the entire of the property dellroed within them before the fire could be cuitiguiliked.
