It is . said that the Austrian Consuls in the two Principalities have received orders, as they did in the preceding in vasion, to cease their functions as soon as the Russians shall enter, for the very natural reason, that their cre dentials are to the Hospodars. They are to retire into Transylvania. VIENNA, Arm. 23. If we may believe mercantile letters from aiessa, dated the 10th, official news had been received there from St. Petersburgh, that the Russians had orders to pass the Pi uth on the 22d. It appears that, in truth, no official news on the sub. ject has been received, but the numerous sales which have taken place on the 'Change have caused our funds to fall.

Petersburgh on the 7th, say that ihe Emperor, at the late review of the troops, announced to them that he would soon lead them to battle, and that the soldiers received this news with transports of joy. The letters-from Tulczin, say. that the day for the entrance of the Russians into the Turk ish territories has not been fixed, as the European Journals have said, but that it is supposed that it will take place about the end of April. PROM THE MESSAGER DES CFI AMBRES MAT 2. SECOND EDITION. • - VIENNA, Mut O.' People are impatient almost in. every country, but especially in Germany, to predict the views f the Russian Cabinet. According to several Journals, the days for the passage of the Pruth, and the departure of the Emperor Nicholas from St. Petersburgh, are irre vocably determined. It cannot be too often repeated, that nothing certain, nothing official, has yet been said on this subject. _- _ _ ... Travellers are said to have related 'a •sort of speech, made by his Imperial Majesty to his trocps, at a re view; and 'that the universal acclamations of the soldiers replied to his promise to lead than to victory. The St. Petersbergh Journals of a later date than the 7th have been received; but they do not say a word of this incident ; which is too important totre passed over 'in silence: and persons who have had an opportunity of observing the prudent character of the young Em pelor orßusbia, do not recognize the spirit of reserve by which be is directed in every thing, ihthitannouneos ment, which is much like those which ; tvirettrY years ago, were in the mouth of the Emperor Mille French. ; Every thing indicates that no serious'ttrilitarroperal tion can tate plate before the end of April ;, and the Emperor Nicholas, though willing in • his • Otto rattle, will, according to all appearance, do nothing - fttcept concert with the principal Powers of Eirtope, 'and sc• cording to the stipulations of the Treaty of therrth July.

The military preparations i n th e pachalies of T sr ey in Europe are beginoing . with retlotsbrechsetivity:- The, Pacl4s of Widdirr, Bosnia, have each received orders, by tartar s 'dispa j tched from Constantinople, to direct to Adrianople al/ the digpo . sable troops to be found in their respective territorits.— We are even assured that the Vizier of Bosnia, Abdus Rahman, has received an imperative order to send to wards Moldavia and Wallachia a body of troops cised in the European way, of from thirteen to fenrteen thousand men. 'Tough this news requires confirmation, still it has caused a great sensation along the whole Austrian line ; for by this sirqzle fact the Porte would aJd to the grievances which Russia complains ot, by acting in contravention of , the stipulations made at Akernaann. A train of artillery from Constantinople arrived five or six day* ago at Adrianople. FLORENCE, Aram 22. M. de Ribeatipierre, Ambassador from Russia to the Sublime Porte, and who is still here, has received dispatches by several couriers from St Tetersburgh; has immediately dispatched some hirhself to Naples and the former place.

PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. Esau, Arm. 29. I mentioned to you, some short time ago, that one of the greatest obstacles to the free and straight forward march of the Government here arose from the King not being satisfied with reigning, unless he may alsogovern— that is to say, follow, in the administration of affairs, the dictates of his own will, instead of the counsel of his Ministers, vho are alone responsible for the conse quences. A circumstance which has just taken place affords a new ana striking example of this dis cordancy between the Monarch and his Ministers— a discordancy which, in a representative Government, must be considered a vet itable anomaly, pregnant with confusion and disorder. ' The circumstances alluded to was the nomination to The place of Governor to the Duke de Bourdeaux, vacant by the death of the Duke de Itiviere. The Ministers proposed the Duke d'Escars—a choice dictated by prucleine and delicacy, for the Duke d'Escars has been always a faithfully at tached follower of• his_ Majtsty, and is not, saidi . • either a Jesuit or a Villelist. The King refused to con- firm this choice, and announced. that he had already selected for the appointment Baron de Damas, who was Minister for Foreign Affairs under the Adminis tration of M. de Villele. Baron de Damas is a highly estimable and honourable person, but he is thought not to possess that firmness of character necessary to withstand the Coen which influence and Je suitical intrigu es , . to one in his situation is likely; under the present circumstances, to be subjected.' It is easy to conceive howalie Ministers must have felt on seeing their candidate rejected, and so important an appointment as that of Governor to the heir of the throne given to one of the late Administratiim. What was - this but proclaiming to the world the state of 'political impo tence With which they were afflicted, divesting them,in the eyes of she public, of that consideration so necessary to enable them to carry their good intentions into exe cution? What grievous impolicy ! Was it not, by such . an act, to signalise to all France the misunderstanding that exists bet s'etn the Monarch and his Ministers, and to conv.ine the least clear-sighted that the King, in naming them; lied very reluctantly yielded to pub lic opinion ? The Ministers protested, in very forcible terms, against such a proceeding ; but their representa tions wire of no avail, the King constantly declaring that the queition had nothing to do - with the Govern- Ment ; that it was of a private and domestic nature; and that, as a father of a family, he should be free to choose the person he thought most proper as a Governor for his son. The . answer to this was not difficult to find ; for; inasmuch as the edocation of the heir to the throne must exert a sinister or happy influence over the people he will be called to govern, the choice of . the person ssho is to direct and give a colour to that education should no more be considered as an act of private or do mestic regulation than the appointment of any other important public functionary." These and other similar aaguments Were urged without any effect. It has been remarked;that-on; occasions like the present, the will of the King is actually inflaxible,rthough he is usually not over-difficult to be persuaded or convinced. But in this, as in some.ogily instances, the obstinacy of his determi nation seemed' tobe tinged with something of religious fanaticism, is if the finger of the Confessor had not been a stranger to the building up of his res.)lotiOn. The Minis ters, on finding their efforts fruitless, declared that they should prefer tendering their : resignations to counter aiguing the nomination of the Baron de Damas. It is said that , upon this' occasion the Duke n'Angouleme warmly supported his father's resolution, and addre,sed one of the Ministers inaather harsh terms. The King, then, reasoning'upon - the ground of i's being a private 'or domestic 'act,' thought proper to dispense with the' signature of the Ministersoinal had the ordounance ap peinting Baron de .Damas fili)vernor of the Duke de ,Ilourdeatix countersigned only by M. de la Bouillerie, 'lntendant of the Royal Household, and who; as not being oneof the Cabinet, is an irresponsible agent; As to this, so to other inconsistent, if not dangerous conseqtences, must lead the want of unity of views be tween the Couft and - the Ministry. It is a subject of "'sinister . presage - to see the Villele patty, who are cover ed with py - blic reproackand reprobation in the morning , at the Cnambasicif Deputies, the obj:cts of 'and high faC):-mri at the Tyileries in the evening. These eleinents of discordant opinion would seem to justify the tears - of rnary, Who think that the Constitutional bark of France has yet to 'encounter many -a stiff gale and dismantling storm. However, ..to speak only. of the present, it should not be lost sight of, by those whom it most concerns, that such acts as the one that forms the subjectaof this Iletter are far from tending to render Royalty popular in France, or consolidating a dynasty which has had More than one occasion to be convinced that legitithacY its-elf, in order to'take deep roowparti cularly in the present age, must conciliate the affections Of the people, and sy with public ppinion, At a moment when the Jes.uils make their power felt in the high places of the capital, and succeed in counteracting the intentions 'o f the 11fitiiiiry, it is not to be Wondered 'that- their adherents 'in the provinces should boldly enter the field of politics, and that Bishops should publish' pastoral letters - in favour of particular Journals. This rather unepiscopal task has just been undertaken by the Bishop. of Perpignan, who has printed, at, his own expense, the prospectus of a new Journal, called Le Conseruatelir, and n Inch he has sent to all the'Cuies of hisi diocese, accompanied by a pastoral' letter; the style and' diction of which are not less extraordinary than its object. It is generally be lieved that - his , spiritual Lordship is a partner in the speculation, and will, no doubt, take an active share in the redaction 9f . the Journal.

CHINESE TA RTARY. FROM THE CALCUTTA GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, DEC. 3. We have been favoured with advices from China and from the north of India, which concur in stating, that the rebellion in Chinese Tartaiy has been suppressed by the arms and influence of China. The intelligence from the Himalaya rests upon the authority of letters from Shalkur, which state that the Chinese had completely beateh the Tartars, many of whom were actually fugi tives in Lehdakh, a State, however, that is little likely to afford them a'h asylum, beingitself under the power ful controul, although not the absolute dominion of China. The news from China is more detailed. 2_ After three repeated defeats by the Chinese ; the Tar. tars were unable to meet them in the field, altht-ugh the leader, Chang-keonk, effected his escape, much to the dissatisfaation of his Imperial Majesty. These successes were followed by the capture of Khoteq, and finally of Yarkhend, when eleven leaders of the insurgents were put to death, as victims to the spirits of the ChineSe Officers who had fallen in the course of the war. The Imperial army had thence advanced to Cashghar, froth which place accounts, dated the 20th of Jaly, state, it was on its return, after leaving a sufficient force to garrison the Mohammedan cities. The head of the insurrection had effected his retreat into some foreign territory, in a state of utter destitution, and deserted' by all his followers. As a mark of the Emperor's ge nerosity, he had remitted the annual conttibutions froth the conquered cities, it is pretended in consideration of the devastations of the war; but this act of liberality furnishes reason to suppose that the tranquillisation of the Tartars has been effected as much by concession on the part of the Chinese Government as by the valour of its troops:- The re establLhment of Chinese infloenee along the tract of country from the desert of Kobi to Cashghar, renews a barrier more insurmountable than the peaks of the Ifitittal.tya, to the progress of civiliza tion and commerce, which, without such interposition, might, at no very distant period, bring into frequent contact the Steppes of Tat tat y and plains of Hindustan. FERNANDO PO. . CLARENCE COVE, Jaw. S. Our establishment here proceeds prosperously; the island .is extremely fertile, with abundance of fresh water, and some excellent anchorages. As a settlement, it is likely to become an important, and I hope a fortu nate one; although it is not a little ominous, that the spot selected by us is probably that which was chosen by the Spaniards far their ill-fated colony. This we conjectpre from the discoveryof some coins and a large Spanish bottle, which were found in digging, althoogh not the slightest traces of buildings'or entrenchments are to be seen ; and no other indrcation besides the relics I have just mentioned, and which •Captain Owen_has sent home to the Admiralty, .leads to .the opinioa,._ex cept that the timber is of. a.snuell smaller growth, and has evidently been cleared at no very distant period. . The Spaniards evacuated FernandO Po about the close - of the xear 1782- Acccifd ng . to an account which-I have me b, the original settliment consisted of three thousaghl:Wn, who were abundantly supplied with -brass cannon and military..stirres; but the natives were so displeased auheir..pro,ceedings, which a: e reported to have been strongly marked treachery bcl u, bad-faith, ^that they poisoned the palm wine with which they sdp plied Ebem; and not' more than two hundred effected their escape. The cannon were dismounted and buried, according to this account (so that it is pos , ibie we may stumble upon them io our grubbing), and the natives are said, immediately on the departure of tie Spaniards, to have levelled all their works with the g round, and flung the stones of which they were formed into theaea. Oh Christm s Day Captain Owen took formal- pos session of our new settlement . ; which- he .has•natned Clarence, apparently much to the satisfactioa,,of, the natives, in consideration of three bars of iron lia'vrog been duly paid and delivered by him for the •fee'sinrple thereof. On this occasion a - grand p,ocession took place —the officers and crew of the Eden, the Royal Marines, the Royal African corps, and the Clarence Militia, colours flying—drums beating—fifes playing bugles sounding, marched from the border parade; when, having been properly marshalled around 'art Avg-klati upon Point William, the tolnitis wereltoisted, ahckhe Proclamation read; • Three - cheers ter.th e whistle followed,. andatiten;toyal salutes syera : 4;44,o— The very. solenap. doormen; ,athich .4.. r,e(ernarri ro damation se l li r JarfAlly ,snliseribed by all present; and should it, appear Emden Cilidte, I- hkee no doubt the nainessatome Of the shbicribing parties will excite general' merridient. Bonaparte and George Ret wore amongst the number who witnessed the taking peaceable possession of Fernando Po. Dr. Wollaston and Dr. Syntax were also present; but neither of these learned Gentlemen could write their names, add were therefore obliged to attach their marki in the shape of aX. Horace Walpole and Benjamin %Vest did, the same. Neither did the autographs, of St. Macau ley, Humphrey Davy, Billy Button, and Nicholas Carlisle, differ materially in character from Pea S nip, Soda Water, John Dory, and One Gla s s. Arthur Wellesley affixed Iris mark also with Tom the First, Jem Never fear, Black Chappy, Chaw Tobacco, Torn Liverpool, and Prince Will. The purchase-iron paid for our right of settlement at Clarence seems only to have increased the native craving for this metal. In fact, the people of Fernando Po, though generally an honest race, cannot withstand the all-powerful temptation of iron ; and vie have, therefore, been obliged to commence the instruction of the islanders, quoting Hudibras for our text-book, iu " what dangers do environ The man that meddle, with cold iron." Several most daring thefts took place ; and the autho rity of the officers became unable to restrain our owq men from purloining iron for the purposes of barter with the natives. There had hitherto been but little difficulty in reclaiming the stolen article from the natives in cases where they had themselves beers guilty of the theft ; but when they had received it in barter from any of our people, it was irrecoverable. Captain Owen, therefore, with a view to enforce dis cipline, determined on making one or two examples of the guilty, and accordingly selected two of the most notorious thieves (Africans) for punishment. One of these he flogged, and then turned on shore; the.:other was probably drowned, baying jumped overboaia,from placed in irons. Towards th e thenat natives Tes Eden, no awchteor of violence hewas whatever has taken place, and a mutual confidence seems to be..eyablhhed betw een us : their respect for Captai n Owen is very great ;• and his word will soon be complete lair with them.. As yet we have all been, thank Wu,' esccedtagly healthy. We have abundant supplies of guide, Ur, sheep, fowls, and yams; but after Marchiladscrut which time the rainy season will commence, I shall be 4ble to speak more satisfactorily on the score of thelalubiity of the place: We hive now been here upwards of fice months, and have been necessarily subject. to much and severe exposures. During that time, out of one hundred and seventy Eurppeans, five only have died ; anti in cluding Africans, our loss has been but six out of live hundred. - the prevalent disease appears to be a coo tagioris 'kind of nicer,* which thirty cases are at pre sent "on obi surgeons liat.!±- 4 Liferary Litmette. *i••;*•:!:.• '!" •' . 4 .••. • • Al • t.A:'•• ~i • ,1 )11! i t, F '~ ; ,+ I~ F ~~~~'s . . .
