VIIPINA, OCT. ty.—According to Letters from the Turkith frontiers, the Turks are now making great preparations to attack and vanquifh Pas SWAN °Gem". Two arrnies are to aft againft him, one in Wallachia, and the other in Servia. In confe quence of this the Auftrian Agent, at Buchareft, has announced to the inhabitants of the Seven Towns that the winter feeding of Cheep dnd cattle in Wallachia, which is ufual there, would not be poffible for this year, becaufe a confiderable Turkifh army would occupy that country. PASS WAN OoLou fends every where emiffaries to pro pagate his principles, and try to make the people dilratisfied with the prefent Turkith Government. Many of them are now in Befnia, and fee their wilbes accomplifhed, as this Province is on the point of infurreftion. Some time ago PAsswAN OGLou walled to ap. prebend the Falba of Travenec, who is very par tial to the Porte. Passwam fcnt a corps againft him, but the Pafha, who was early informed of Passwan's intention, had put binaftlf in filch an excellent pofture of defence, and received PASS wAs's troops in fuch a manner, that they were obliged direftly to return. Since this the itlter courfe by meffengers between the Patha and Con- Ilantinople is very great. It is related that the Turkifh army in Egypt , after its return, is to be employed againft Pass watt, and that a corps of the Englifb army is to ' J oin it, and the whole expedition to be direited by Englifb Officers. On occafion of the name day of the Em rat's, the itth inR. feveral entertainments were given at Laxemburg: one was very new and highly intereft ing. This was a tournament held by four young Noblemen of,khe firft families. Every one thought himfelf carried back to the dark times of chivalry, fo truly was every thing belonging to it obferved. The young tarn wore real armour and lances of that age, and fought with the greateft ability.— Their holies were likewifc caparifoned in mail, which had been teen at many Tournaments :co years ago. A SECOND LETTLR. Orders have been fent to th.: imperial Amb,f fadors at the German Courts notice of :::c elation of the ArLhditle Arc rHotry Vtc rot , , as Elector of Cologne, and Archbifhop of MI ; but to declare, at the fame time, that th , Cathe dral Chapters of both Mates are to cam. on the prefent Government till the final concluiton of the bufinefs of the indemnities. This forenoon the French Amballador, Conn -I.llor of State Ca 4sr rak.s v. had his (Mem au thence from his Majefty the Eta PEROR. The train was compofed of three carriages and four. In the two &II were the Sccrczarics of the Embalfy, and in the third the Anthaffador himfelf in the uniform of the marine. Before the carriage of the Ambalrador went two footmen in brown, laced with filer, and with a cafket with a three coloured plume of feathers. Behind the carriage were three fervants likewife dreired in brown with rich Myer. The Secretaries were all duffed in blue and flyer, except the Adjutant Lacy E, who wore his huffar uaiform. M.

EXCHtejles Bicus.—Purfuant to appointment, a meeting was yefteTJAT held at Mr. ADDINGTON'S, hollie in Downing-that, of the Committee de puted from the Exche9uer Bill Holders. Previous to Mr. ADDISIOTOA'S feeing thele Gentlemen, he bad an interview with the Governor and Deputy- Govetnor of the Bank, svho, in the name of the Diralors, decline to fund the Exchequer Bills in their polfellion. Mr. AnoiNcrou informed the Committee, that he had requefled their attendance in order to pro. pofe to them a plan for funding 8,300,0001. flee ting of out-danding Exchequer Bilk, which he preferred doing to making an immediate loan.— He withal to fund them in the Four per Cents. in order to av ,d the Loge load of intereil which became at the payment of the dividends on Confols. It was observed, that this not being a very mat ketab!e Fund, it would be inconvenient to rail: 10 large alum in it. Mr. ADDING - ma then Laid he would have nn ohjation to fund in the Ncw Five per Cents. ; but at length it was agreed that propolals fliould be made to him to fund either in the 3,4, or 5 per Cent. Annuities, and that a proportion of Long Annuity Mould be tak , .-i with them. The CIIANI:t LLOR Of the ETCH F R here took occaiion to oblerve, that the reports that had gone aliro id in route of the newipapers remaling the fonts which might be wanted for the exigencies of Cove: nment, had been Frof.ly exaggerated; for that exclutive of the pret•nit operation of funding Exchequer Bills, he had reafun to believe the general Loan to be :tweed for would not ex ceed twenty millions, and that it was not intended any other Loan lb uld take place till alter Cheat mas ; but that in t. event of his not concluding any arrangement ith the Exelicqu .1 bill hold •rs, tin the plan pi p lcd, he fhotild borrow a 4.11.111 Loan immediately.
