" The politicians here as well as at London are full of the scheme of dividing the Turkills Empire, (uppofed to be on the eve of execution. Some time ago von were informed in a letter from Paris that Troich.troops were about to embark for the Mo rea. I am allured from various quarters that • t b oole men have aaually failed from the ports of cal y on this deflination. A very Not time fince . ;exo failed from Leghorn, and it was not conceal ed there tikat they were going to take poffellion of the Morea. People expel loon to hear of the fuc ceft of this expedition. It is well known here that the French Government has left no intrigue unem ployed to gain over the Court of Peteriburgh to the plan, and the other great Coasts of Europe mita of murk fecnre advantages in this partition. • England alone will derive none; and while her Oval obtains every fpecies of aggrandirement, The wit: he obliged to aequiefce. The • fyricm of firm tiers and conciliation,' of which Minillers talked In much, is treated with ridicule. I am thoroughly convinced that Bost *PALM if he had let his mind nn any feherne of ambition, however defperate or unprincipled, 'would he as little retarded in his deign by the rentonfirances of England as by tli,fe of the Duke of 1V111'1111E1=1;9 or the Syndics of the city of Ifamburgh. " It is nra-ted, however, that there movements 4 I the French in the Levant have made conic im 'tired-ton on the Englilh Government, and I am in formed on good authority that orders have been fent out not to evacuate Malta. •• It is generally believed here that the firm and wanes of Government will undergo a fpeedy change. The article in the Bulletin It Paris, a paper which is codduiled, it is laid, by Reorient' Da Sr. JEAN d'Aecet.r, a Counfellor of State, Teems to have been Intended to prepare men's minds for it. - Phis or any cringe whateverwhich BONAPARTE .:nay derire will be effeled without difficolty.— linic•eas. re is fuppoled to have taken . CHARLE• raiser for his model, and he is delimits to corn `tine his perfonal glory vita the reftoration of the empire of that Prince, a plan that is In calculated en dazzle. the people of France, and to flatter their vanity. All this is very well for BOMAP•RT 11, who with freaks and .•tprices that feem to bettay a lit tle mind, peal - dies a capacity of the moll unbound -4d cc.ninafi, a true fpirit of command, and an un- Taralleied vigour and perfeverance imthe purfuit of Ills objets ; but who will hold together the mighty empire of this modern Arksamixa ? What is to 'ite the end of all this ? may e..ery Frenchman elk difquietttde. Is it porrible that an autho rity CO perfonal to the inct.vidital, a Government founded on no folid hafts, which has !truck no root, or acquired no folidity, can expire without a con vtil.ion. Pr be transferred without a aruggle ? It is well for the French that they are not much troubled about the future. •• In the mean time the Parifians amufe them /elves as they have done for ages in making calem hnorgs and epigrams at the expence of their rulers. rn the Court of the Palace of the Thuilleries the gate :s .I,llirned with feveralet (oat, emblematic of the Gauls.

That this man is at large is a circumftance which tends to dif credit one pan of his affertion ; he, however, is confidered as a privileged madman. " The public works in this capital are proceed ing with a degree of a/linty unequalled even in :he times of monarchy. Three bridges have been thrown acrnfs the Seine within the (pace of four months, and they are all likely to be fininted with in the current year. Some attribute this to often tation on the penal BeIIAPARTZ lam rather iq• dined to regard the giving of food and employ ment to numbers in this way: as a meafure Which fprings from his prudence and his policy. " The Commerce of this capital, which is the main-fpring of that of France, has not yet derived any of the advantages which were promifed from the Peace. Speculators arc weary, and capital is fiance. The maladies which have broken out at St. Domingo and at Guadaloupe, have greatly chilled the enterprifmg fpirit of adventurers; and it is with Edifficulty that workmen, even of the loweft f e :iption, are found to undertake the labours which are aecciary for the reltoration of theft un fortunate Colonies. " An Hotel, on a very large fcale, is welling in the vicinity of the Palais Royal, for the accom modation of ftrangers. The extreiresseure profefs themfelves, or their deputies; to be acquainted with all the languages fpoken on the globe ! They have, with true Par!/tan flippancy, given to this undertaking the title of" The Tower of Bahr!!" " The Council of State are nowoccupied in Pram • ing a decree, by which no perfon is to be allowed to pratife either in Phylic or in Surgery, nnlefs he has a fufficient knowledge of Latin to maintain a thefts in that language. This is a meafure rather of doubtful prudence, as a knowledge of Latin amounts Only to a prefumption that its poffefror has addiEted himfeif to other fludies. Something, however, is neceffary to check the growth of back, who have appeared in great numbers, whilft the regular praditioners were neceffarily abfent with the armies. " P. S. I have this inftant learned that Too s s LoUiplltTllar arrived here at a late hour laD night. He is of courfe in a hate of arra, and his trial will not be leng delayed. Some perfons confign him by anticipation to imprifonmert for life in the Temple, but the more prevailing opinion is, that, from prudential motives, he will experience the clemency of the Fiase CONSUL." 4 .1 • 1 I a II grs " LONDON.

French Journals to the nth have alto come to hand. The probable difmemberment of the Turkilh Empire, which we announced Tome months ago as likely to refult from its own weaknefs and the general complexion of European politics, was fcouted at the time by feveral of our comer, o raries. Now, however, there hems to be but one fentiment on this fubjea ; and indeed the fymp toms are now fo obvious, that it is impoffible for the poorea dabbler in politics to miflake them.— .Not only all the Englifh, but all the Continental Journals are occupied from day to day with the fubjea. The accounts now before us are fomewhat con tradiaory refpeaing the rebel Guraor (or Gioaat as his name is fometimes fpelt): Tome of them Rate that he has expreired a with to furrender, on condi. tion that the arrears due to his troops be paid up. Should this even be the cafe, it may probably be only to obtain a pretext for Rending out; for by letters from Adrianople of the t 7th ult. it appears, that there is not the fmallek probability of this condition being complied with. In that city and the neighbouring country, they experience all die evils which are the confequences of revolt and military anarchy. Twenty-thoufand Albanians, under the cow mand of Haar-PACNA, had been ordered to pro tea Romelia apinft the bands of robbers, who defolate the country, and the enterprifes of GUIROI PA C HA, whom the SuIIILIME PORTZ has declared a rebel, and deprived of his dignities. But Haat PAC NA, inftead of keeping his troops in the field, left them at Adrianople in a hate of inaltivity, and needled to diCcharge the arrears of their paY, though he received large films for that purpofe frown Government, and raifed contributions in the towns of his Pachalik. This condua excited a fpi rit of infubordination among the Albanefe garri fon : when it learned that Haar Pactid was file ceeded in the Government of Romelia by Ouse PACNA, they forced their way into the palace of the Jifgraced Commandant, and plundered his treafure and effe&s. 01111 P4cHA, to preferre Adrianople from the near adts of violence which the Albanefe might be guilty of, refolved to remove them from the gty, after having begun to pay up their arrears s bit I he had not time to complete the liquidation.— Scarcely was he inverted with his Government, when he was difgraced like his predeceffor, and three thoufand Albartefe, who ftill remained at Adrianople, finding they could not depend on the payment which Ones. PacKA had promifed them, kited on his fon,threatenqd to plunder the city.and could not be forced from it but by the indignation of the inhabitants, who flew to their arms, and by Tome good difpofitions taken by Feast.' Aeolus., another Pacha. The removal of the troops did not, however. produce confidence in Adrianople. They an nooneed that they would not releafe the fon of Ones. PACK* till they had received the whole of their pay, and the unfortunate father bad already delivered up to them all his n2oft valuable effeas, without being able to complete the requiredranfom. The country around Adrianople is now at the mercy of the expelled garrifon. They wreak their vengeance on the (entered and defencelefs inhabi tants, becaufe they were not able to plunder the city. They communicate their fpirit of revolt to the other Aibanefe troops, to whom the defence of Romelia was likewife entrulted : and, amidft theft feditious commotions, the party.ofpe repel Gutaat PACHA, already mentioned, becomes every day (trouser. At the date of our letters this Chief was at the difianee of only (even rnilesfromAdrianople.having with him more than 8000 Albaaefe ; who, under a pretence that arrears of pay were Rill due to them, had formed the projea of attacking the city. if not ranfomed by a contribution of 8000 purfes. The bands of robbers, who were fuppofed to be difperfed, had again begun to *nimble.— Adrianople was placing half in a date of defence, and the inhabitants were refolved to snake a vigo rous defence. But," (fays one letter), !, if the neighbouring country be ravaged, if the comma. nications are interrupted,and if the Ottoman Porte can neither adopt the molt efficacious meafures to proud us, nor depend on the fidelity and difci pline of the troops to whom it has eatrufted our defence, we cannot behold the future without dif couragement, and without the deepeft of liftion." Letters from Cronfladt, of the 27th ult. Rate— that Passwts Oo zoo has made a retrograde movement, and recroffed the Danube on a bridge of boats, near the ifle of Balefar, carrying off with him from Wallachia 258 waggons of corn, and a great number of horfes and horned cattle. Ac. cording to the left accounts from Conftantinople, the French Ambalfador, Citizen Rur!tm, had been invited to frequent confultations with the Di vin upon the meafures to be adopted in the pre. fent perturbed Rate of the Turkil)s Empire. It is Paid, that by an order of BONAPARTR, he had difpatcbed a courier to PAIRWAN OGLOV, with pro polite of mediation. A number of Passwan's par tizans at Conftantinople, many of them perfons of rank, had been firangled. The GRAND VIZIRR is in difgrace. The CAPITA' PACN• (till enjoys the highelt favours and it is intended Olathe Gall lead an army of 130,C0 men againit the Pacha of ffiould he rcjeoft the mediation of the French Government. In the peofent Rate of the Turkifh Empire threats are contemptible, and they will be underttood by thole to whom they are addreffed as wholly un worthy of notice. If PASSWAN OG LOU is induced to fubmit to the Porte, he will be guided much more by motives of interell thati confederations of danger. • A letter from Hermantladt, of June 28, an nounces, that the troops of Pa 'swam Oosov have evacuated Bucharefl, and have retired to Widdin. The Fiche whom the Porte charged with the pro vifional Government of Wallachia, has tequefted the Commandant of Tranfylvania to difmifs thole who have taken Richer in that province. A great number of theft emigrants have returned, but the Boyards make fame difficulty ; they refuf to return without the Hofpodar, who on his part teems indifferent ; on the contrary, he is to retire into the interior of Tranfylvania, to which he will be efcorted by Atifirian troops. This Governor dreads the refentment of the Porte, which has learnt, that he kept up a correfpondence with to reign powers, to fhake off the yoke and render hinsfelf independent. The fame letter adds, that OSI4III PATNA has entered Adrianople, and that a confiderable army is affembling on the frontiers of RufGa, towards Turkey in Europe. ft never could for a moment be expefted that the FIRST CONSUL would regard with indifference the prefent diftrafted Rate of the Turkiflt Empire, affording, as it does, fueh an cafy prey to his am bition. A confiderable time has elapfed fine. we were informed that a French fquadron had failed from one of the ports of Italy, the deftination of which, though myfterious, many people conceived was to Tome part of the Turkifit dominions. From Paris we have learnt Tome very interefting parti• culars on this filbjeft. According to general re port, they failed for the purpofe of taking pof feffum of the Marta. The deftination of theft troops ( s toxic) is indeed no longer concealed, --' and tome ;Marne* of thr fuer& of the espe. dation is fiteedily expated. The French Govern. mint, before adopting , this plan, has difplayed the Came fpirit of intrigue which has been Co Cue. cefsfully employed on many other ocea6ons. The Court of Petcriburgh, it is fuppol d. has bee* brought to acquicfce in the rneafure, and the other leading Powers on the Continent will have no d t . fire to counteract a Rep, from the refult of which they may hope for a correfponding advantate.-, Every ark of the great Powers has an interea more or lefs ftrong in the difmesuberment of the Turkiih dominions, becaufe all may reafonably hope for Come portion of the general fpcit. Tina country alone, in the prefent Rate of European politics, loft contemplate there changes, as as aZlive and unconcerned fpettator. The movements of the French troops, our Co,. refpendent fnys, have produced a determination on the part of our Government not to evacuate Malta. No rumour, however. cif this fort, Lai hitherto prevailed here, The difturbances in Turkey are not the only pretext afforded to the FrenBt at this time, for equipping artnamenu and increafing their military arrangements. The intelligence which we yeller. day communicated from penoa, refpeaing the piratical depredations of the 4lgerines, furnith them with fair grounds for another ydit to the coat of Africa, which may be the snore readily embraced, as an efiablithmeet at Algiers would be an acquifition of the highea importance to Franc e , either with a reference to the influence it would give over Tunis, and the afGaaoce it would thus afford to her views on Egypt; or, with a re _ference to a maritime war with Britain. The in. telligence we allude to, was in the official paper; and from fuch a quarter, it is eafy to underaand the import of the declaration, that « the French Go verment will not PtiMit fuch infultt tri go qupti nilbed." A letter from Havre in the French papers, gives an afiliaing picture of the ravages of the war and peflilence (for fuels the yellow fever may be con fidered) at Guadaloupe. HANltat Jut.► XL—The time will come when Government will know both the Author and the caufes of the misfortunes of Guadeloupe. At prefent it is fufficient to fate that this Colony, fared by a miracle during the Revolutionary Re. gime, is covered with allies and ruins. General RICHFPANCE, feconded by Pica° s, was able to defiroy the rebellion at Baffe•Tcrre ; audit is feet by the official difpatches that the Chiefs were Op led, and the rebels fubmitted or were difperfed ea the alith of ?4y ; but the Negroes threw them felires into the woods and morres towards Grande. Terre, and with torches in their hands let fire to the plantatione. About the 7th of June, (e►en of eight diftritte of Point.a•Pitre were totally burnt. and two or three hundred plantations bait been already deftroyed ; more than two thirds of the crop were at that period a prey to the dams. —All the cotton has been burnt. The yellow fever has added its ra►ages to the horrors of infurralion : it daily cuts off a great many of the blacks and natives. General Seats:a has fallen a vi&im to this malady. Several of the, wives of the inhabitants have fled from this unfortunate co• lony. We have received thefe details from various pairengers, who came home in the fhip la Diane. The towns had been preferred up to the time of their departure by the vigilance of Generals Rictiaresca and .Pstaos, notwithflanding the repeated attempts of the blacks to let fire to them. The greatefl uneafinefs was, however, entertained refpeeting. the confequences of there events. It is eflimated, that from eight to ten thoufand negroes periffied in different engagements. _ _ RATISION, JULY I is believed that about the aoth the Diet will emerge from ha insaivity, and that the grand object which has to long ea. gaged the attention of Germany and of all Europe will then be difcuffed: it is believed that an Impe rial decree will then be ifued on the fubjea.
