The veffel by which we received the French Journals on Wedliefday night, brought back the Mellinger, difpatched by M. Orr° on Saturday night to Paris, with the refult of the Cabinet Coun cil, which fat on that day. The Meffenger has re turned with the anfwer of the Ft err Con su t., which was yeflerday laid to be favourable, and our Funds role in confiquence of this report. Some evert are fo fanguine in their expetations, as to affure us, that Lord Sr. HELEN'S has been appointed to ne gotiate, and that he will loon fet out on this im portant million. Late lafi night the Hamburgh Mail, due on Wednefday, arrived. It appears, by letters from Elfineur of the 24th ult. that our fleet had not then attempted the lunge of the Sound. For the particulars, we refer to the following columns. A private letter which we received by the mail, from our correfpondent at Hamburgh, Rates, that a report was in circulation there, according to which it was laid, that the Ruffian Amballador was recalled from P.uis ; and that the Emperor of Ruffia had refolved to change his political views, and to make a common caufe with his former al lies—a report which the change in the Ruffian Cabinet has probably given rife to. A letter from CLnlintir.(Tle of tht 25th of February, Rates, that the Turkith fleet, confin ing of four (hips of the line and feven frigates, with a number of gun-boats, which were to be joined by fifty others at RhoLs, had Liled on the 23d for Egypt. This morning we received French Journals of the 3ift ult. from which we have given a few extra Els. COPENHAGEN, MARCH 24. The Englifh fleet, under Admiral Sir HYDE PARKER, which is enticing in the North Sea, in the night between the 22d and 23d iaftant, failed from Anil()lt to Gilleleve, COa the Northern Coaft of Zealand, and dune anchored. Yefterday and this day, however, it Las again retired. The Eng Wit Legation, which on Saturday even left this city and went to Elfineur, on Sunday went on board the Englifh frigate the BLANC 14 which came with Cie flag of truce, ind failed for the North Sea. Mr. Wtitrit4o, the meffenger, was fent off for England. Several Englifh timilies have kft this city with Mr. Ditusivaomp. P. S. At this moment (levee in the evening) the wind is north-welt, and therefore fair for the Eng lilh fu that we may to-morrow erpc:l very kricus events in the 50ti...3. I.1.•IVI CR S Pin( If 24. On the zid, in the evening. !Lc Enslillt Mini fter, Mr. Daum Pt ,sn, ?nd the Envoy Plenipoten tiary, Mr. l'a'ss 1 TAP.T, arrived here horn Copen hagen. The Enghlh who reflde here were required immediately to leave Denmat k with them, but they refafed ; and lonic of them cvcr raid, tint they would remain in Dmmark, whatever mi:tht be tliL conf...quence. Only the E...glifi.Clufal, and come other perria.s who had par..a.lar rca:bris for it, went On bt...RI the Enghtl. fi:gat:l74vg h^--re, which about ;nor. fl.::ed for the Englith flvet lying above Kußen. The relt have not only received permallon from the Danifh Government to remain here, but are even permitted to chufe the place where they will refide, and are promifed fecurity and full protection from the laws. The day before yederday, and ycflerday, th Englith fleet was very plainly to bz fecn from Lencc. On the day before yetterday it was in the Bay cf Torrekow, but ycflerday in the afternoon it was on the Dailifh toad, near Gillekve, two (C-erinan) miles from Eltlueur. It is laid the Admiral has chip:itched a Eft fai ing fhip to England, and waits its return before he undertakes any thing further. The truth of this report, however, is much doubted. Yefterday afternoon the Danifh cutter brig Gar yen f:tiled from hence for Copenhagen. The inha bitants have receivea orders from the Magifirates to hold themfelves in readinefs ; in fhnrt, we are prepared to repel any hollile attack with vigour. To-day we can fee nothing of the Englitlt fleet. The day befure yellerday it was reported here that the great Ruffian fleet of 61 fail had arrived at Bornholm. This, however, we now know to be without foundation. It is now laid, that not the great fleet from Cronfladt, but the fmall Ruffian feet of t z Blips of the line, and fome frigates, has already arrived in the vicinity of Copenhagen. To-day, from noon, till four in the afternoon, the wind has been N. W. and therefore very fa vourable for the Englifh fleet, if they intend to at tempt the paffage ; but as yet not a flip is to be feen ; they feem all to have vanifhed. We are, however, fully prepared for them. P. S. We are this moment affured that the Eng- IA fleet is at the entrance of the Sound, and will take advantage of the favourable N. W. wind to attempt the paffage of it. ALTONA, MARCH 26. We have received intelligence that the Englifh fleet is off Anholt, (leering towards the Belt. The guns have been taken out of tome of the frigates. It appears, therefore, that the 'mirage will be at tempted with the fmallcr !hips of war. HAMBLTROH, MARCH 27. For Tome time part various reports had been in circulation here, that Pruffian troop would flit:only arrive, to take poffellion of Hamburgh and its ter ritory. Thefe reports were in a great meafure confirmed, when a courier arrived, from Berlin, the day before yefterday, informing the Senate, that the KING of PRUSSIA, as Protedor of the line of demarcation, found it neceiTary to fend troops to occupy certain di ftrids of the territory of Hamburgh, but without injuring the rights and in dependence of the city. The minds of the inhabi tants had been greatly agitated fince the arrival of this intelligence, the more fo, when orders were re ceived in tome neighbouring villages, to prepare quarters for there troops, Tome of whom adually arrived within two miles of this city, but I am confidently informed, that they were again with. drawn this day. BERLIN, MARCH 24. An Englifh courier arrived here, a few days ago, but without bringing the long-expeaed an fwer to the note delivered to Lord CA ItYS Four.— A Ruffian courier has paired through this city, with orders for the Ruffian troops coming from France, informing them that their deflination is changed. It is not yet known whether they are to go.—The reigning Duke of Brunfwick is ex pened at Brunfwick, to confer with his Majefly on the march of our troops intended for taking pof fcilion of the mouths of the Wefer, Elbe, and Ems. It is laid that they are to concentrate themtilves near Minden, and to be joined by thole regiments that are nearcft to the line of Demarcation. Prince ADOLrtius, of England, will let out from hence, for Strelitz, in a few days. CONSTANTINOPLE, FED. 2j. 1 . Th. , : Turkifh Aftrologers having declar e d that the 23d inflant was the molt fortunate day for the failing oldie Tut kiflt fleet, it got under fail on that and the following day, and proceeded to the bay i of Rufehcktar, whence it will again fail with the i firlt fair wind. This naval armament, which is denined againft Egypt, confine of four (hips of the line, fcven frigates, and a numb:r of gun boats, which will be joined by fifty others at Rhodes. TheCA PTA'S TACNA commands this fquAron in perfon, and the fhip of the line in which he fails is very magnificently fitted out, and provided with every convenience. The EnOillt and Ruffian Am. baffadors yefterday, vifited the CAPTAIN PAC HA on board of his fhip. The Englifh Admiral, Lcrd KF IT 11, Will not fail from Marmara, till he is join ed by the fqoadron of the CAPTAIN TACNA. According to accounts from the Turkifh camp, die Dragoman of the GRAND Vizir a has died of thc Plague. All the French prifoners are immediately to be bet at liberty by the Porte and embarked for France. 1 Ye:today the keel of a new fhip of the line, of t ec. guns, was laid,which i . to he built under the infix c tioa of thu: Danifh 114-builders, hits p t BERG and Ttents.oatti, who mccivcd rich prcfcnts on thc ea occafion. SF NIIN, :4APCSI 6. A nnutber of partifanc and inks of PA..WAti Octx have be.a dikcl ca rclgradc, undcr dif ferent dirguifes, who watched the proceedings al the PAcHA of that place. The latter meets with the grc.stell difficulties in executing the order from the l'oerE for raifing an army Of 20,C 0 men againit PASWAN Ocxv, and ha. even enlilled fe veral thoufands of robbers. PASWAN Ono rein forces his army with Polilh, French, and German deferters, who arrive in great niriLer. Having laid walk a confiderable part of Vallachia, rani- ' adarly the town and diflril of Crajow a, he with drew to Widdin, in confequence of a Lttcr from the Imperial General NI rreowsK v, %VIM corn minds in Tranfylvania, thrcatning that he would oppofe a confiderable force to his further progrefs. Later accounts (late, that PASWAN Octu re-occu pied Kladowa, that he had attacked the troops of the Hofpodar of Vallachia, and had done con fiderable mifchief at Buchareft and its environs. The DACHA of Belgrade, inficad of attacking him in the open field, as he is ordered, confines his meafures to the repairing of his fortrefs, which he has lined with heavy artillery. ST. PRTERSBURGH, MARCH SO. The atilual Privy Counfellor, Count Rarrorrs cu iv, is totally difmiffed, at his requell ; the Vice- Chancellor, Prince Ku RA K IN, is to refume his for mer poft, in that capacity ; and the General of Cavalry, Count Von Der PantEr4, is to have a feat in the department for Foreign Affairs, and in the Privy Council.—Among the perfons in tending to leave Peterfburgh, this day's Court Gazette mentions, Count RASTOPTSCH IN, Privy Counfellor and Knight, with his fait.—On the 18th of February 0. S. Count Von Der P.SHLEN was nominated Chief DireEtor of the Polls in the Ruffian Empire.—ThcCounfellerof State, ROADS, is dirmiffed from the Cabinet, with his full fah. ry of 1200 rubles per annum, as a penfion, and replaced by the Aulic Counfellor &Tu.—Court Gazette. FRONTIERS OF RUSSIA, MARCH 12. A Danith Courier has pallid through here with the EMPEROR of Russia's ratification of the Convention of Neutrality. The prefents which have been given to the rerpthive Miniflers, on that oocafion,are raid to be very fplendid.—Count Von Der PAHLEN is appointed Minifter of State for Foreign Affairs. Court RASTOPTSCHIN has already fet nut for his eflates. It is reported that the EtaPELOR of RUISIA is affemhling Another large army on the frontiers of Gallicia. MILAN, MARCH 20. At Ancona General MuRAr has taken off the fequeliration laid on Englifh and Levant property. The army of obferration is now to be called the army of Southern Italy, and MURAT is railed from Lieutenant-General, to General in Chief. The new Sovereign of Tufeany, the Duke of PARMA, is gone to Rome, whence, as fome think, he will repair to Florence. The Hereditary Prince of Parma, whole Contort is an Infanta of Spain, is expeEted in Italy to take on him, as fome con jedure, the Regency of Parma, when the Duke flail enter on the Goverment of Tufcany. Several French Generals are gone to join the army of Southern Italy. It is confidered as re-' markable that this army is to be augmented to 40,000 men. Several divifions of troops are on their march back to France, by the way of Milan. The divi. fion of DAMME and BARAGUAY d'HILLICRS have begun their march from Italy for Switzerland. The Frcnch cockade is worn at Turin, and a report prevails that Piedmont will be divided between France, and the Cifalpine and the Ligu• rian Republics. ♦IENNA, MARCH 14. Yellerday a Courier from Buda brought us the melancholy intelligence of the death of her Impe rial Highnefs the Arch-Duchcfs ALEXANDRA PAULOWNA, the confort of the Arch-Duke Jost PH, Palatine of Hungary, and daughter of the EM►R. cos of RUSSIA. On the sth arrived here the Dukes of Awcov- LEME and Bcaar, of the corps of Conde, and on Sunday they were prefented to their IMPERIAL MAJESTiES, the Q .. tirFK of NAPLES, and the whole of the Imperial Family, with whom they dined. Yefterday they made a viGt to the Arch-Duke CHARLES at Schoubrunn. The latter Prince, whofc health is now nearly reflored, will to-day come to Vienna. The Grand Duke of TUSCANY has fent a Cou rier to Paris ; the report that his Duchy will be rettored to him appears to be very doubtful. The indemnifications which he is to receive in Ger many arc not as yet by any means fettled. As far as we can judge from the military pre parations carrying on here. a corps of 25,000 Aufirian troops will advance immediately after the retreat of the French from Germany, and be difiribtited in feveral places in the German Em pire, particularly in Suabia and Franconia. It is added to this that an equal number of French troops will remain in the German Empire till the indemnifications are completely adjulled. The Dui.es of Ancoustras and BERRY hare come to apply to our Court for its mediation with the French government. They will go from this city t o Louis XVIII. at Watt faw S'.7ITZFRLANn, 14/ACK TS.

Head Quarters at Florence, March x 6. Citizen Minifter—l have the honour to inform you, that the Commander in Chief, in confequence of reports made to him, refpeeting the movements of infurreflion manifelled in the fouth of Tufcany, particularly in the Maremma, gave orders to the Chief of Brigade, commanding the grenadiers and marine artillery, cantoned at Sienna, to difpatch 400 men, under the command of a Chief of Bat talion, to difperfe the bodies already become too numerous, by means of their intelligence with the Englifh, who occupy Porto-Ferrajo ; from which their perfidious ClllifraTlCS have daily communi cation with the Chiefs of the Revolt—infligated and paid by them, in that part of Tnfcany which lies next to the ifland of Elba. The movement was executed on the loth; the villages near Matra had taken up arms ; and filch was the infatuation of their inhabitants, that they thought of making a vigorous refinance. An af fernblage of more than Soo men occupied the vil lage of Prata, at the entrance to which they had formed an abbatis of pretty confiderable flrength. The Chief of Bvalion BAUDRY, having made difpofitions for carrying the village, divided his detachment into two columns ; that which he commanded, attacked in front, while the other, notwithilanding a very violent fire, turned the en• trencbment of the brigands, who were foon driven from their fheher, and a charge obliged them to fly with rapidity. Their temerity con thein fifty killed on the fpot, and a great number of wound ed. We have to regret fome brzve men and a Ser. jeant wounded. The Chiefs, Officers, and Grena diers, of the artillery of the marine, deferve every ' tcilimony of efteem due to brave foldiers. I have the honour to falute you with refpeit. (Signed) L. BEILTHIII. STOCFPOLM, MARCH 8. The Citizens, in a public audience, which their Deputies had with the King, have thanked him for the a&ivity and vigilance with which he has provided, in the prefent critical fituation, for the defence of the kingdom, and their commerce in general, as well as for the fafety of Gottenburgh in particular. HAGUE, 1111.111 CH 26. The legiflativc body have jet decreed a general amneay in favour of all emigrants bani(hed or confined on account of crimes founded on their political opinions. Thofc, however, who have bore arms againft their country, who have broken their oath, and thole who have betrayed their truft, by giving up the fleet or Krung places to the Englifh, both in the Republic and the colonies, are excepted. Private letters fix= Brads, of the 17th ult. mention, that alarm guns have been Rationed along the Dutch coax, which is threatened by our (hips of wrr. An attempt is to be made to unite the Dutch fleet in the Meufe, confilling of throe (hips of the line and Come (mailer veffels, and the fquadron in Flufhing, with the fleet in the Tad. Extraft of a letter from Mahon, Feb. 266.-- 4 , Sir JOHN Boataiss MARRIN arrived in this port on the 18th, with four (hips of the line and four frigates, after having fearched in vain for the fquadron of GAN r Neu Me. It appears that the French Admiral made fail for Alexandria, witlio:t touching at Toulon. The French fquadron w: Peen, it is Paid, off Malta, confifting of eight fail of the line and four frigates. Sir Rosier Caaosa has gone to the Weft-Indies, and has not paired the strait of Gibraltar. The Maoictsear frigate. which defcried the French fquadron, when Sir Rosser CALDER was at Lifbon, went to juin him at Madeira or the Canaries, and will proceed as far as America.
