MIER' GERIWANT. HAMBURGH, 13.—A1l the Dann troops in the territories of HoMein and - Schlefwig, have re. ceived orders 'to hold themfelves in readinefsto march. —A Roman courier having brought very important difpatchts to Copenhagen, an exprefs was immedi, ately fent off by the Prime Minifier to the Prince Royal, who was with the Princefs in the German part of the Danifh dominions, requefling his immediate return to CopenWagen. Great movements have been of late ohferved among the French troops in Hano ver ; and it is (honey fufpeded to be the Corfican's intention to march an army into Holfiein, and to oc cupy Gluckfiadt, Hufum, and Tonningen, fo as to shut up every communication with Great Britain, and even to blockade the Sound from the land fide.— This plan of operations, which is faid to have been offered to BONAPARTE by General SCHIIIIINBURG, has received his full approbation ; hut the Court of St. reterlburgh having been informed of it, the molt po litive orders were fent to the Danes to defend the neu trality and independence of their territory. VIENNA, JULY 31.—Our political barometer has the afpedl of war. Every thing that we fee or hear confirms this opinion. Large bodies of troops conti nue to march to the frontiers of Italy. A large park of artillery has been fent off to Lower Aultria. An army, confuting of 30,000 men, will there be form ed, and feveral of the regiments compollog our gar rifon have received Orders. to hold themfelves in rea dinefs to march. The funds have fallen nearly zo per cent. which is always held to be a bong fymp torn of approaching hailities. The French; on the , other hand, omit no means of ftrengthenening their pofitions in Italy. Thcy are anxious to place a gar ',iron in the cities of Urbino and Ancona, in the Pa pal dominions. They even go to far 'as to demand the Venetian States as a mortgage from Aufiria for debts contra&ed at Milan, Genoa, &c. If things go on in this train, the King of Naples and the Ottoman Court will be in a perilous fitnation. The fate of Auflria it elf will no longer be doubtful. Europe will then fee what has hitherto been confidered a.chi merical idea—a univerfal Monarchy eftablifhed by France. Two French fpies have been arrefted at Venice, where they had taken drawings of the forufteations recently completed at that place. Auc use 7.—Preparations for the rentwal of hof. tilitirs continue with the utmoft as)ivity. It is re ported that General STLAUCH has been fent to the frontiers to conduit, in quality of Commiffary, a body of Ruffian forces which are to pafs through Hungary. The EleBor of Bavaria has obtained permiffion to procure arms from the Anftrian States. In coefequence of this arrangement, an Auftrian ar mourer has already received orders for making two thnufand mufquets. It ib hated that Duke Ammer will form a carps of volunteers to be fpecially under his eommand.There are rumours, alfo, of the formation of other corps of a fimilar defcription. The French fpies arrefted at Venice have been liberated, though on their per tons were found plans of moth of the Venetian canals, with a ftatement of their depth. The French Ambaffador has addreffed to our Go. vernment a note, couched in the moll infolent terms, demanding a peremptory explanation of the objeas ofthe warlike preparations going forward in the Au. Brian dominions, and the extraordinary activity in the military department. 'kite note alfo demands a peremptory anfwer, whethei.;it was the intention of Auftria to go to war with France ; whether any re cent treaty had been concluded with Ruffia, or whe ther any alliance witkehat_Power was on the point of being concluded ? The anfwer of the Court of Vienna to thefe interrogatories was highly dignified. It Rated. that the affembling of fuch large bodies of French troops had rendered precautions on the part of Auftria indifpenfible. All the negociatinns with Rullia had folely for their object an armed neutrality, and that any more intimate ccnnezion with Foreign Powers mull depend folely on circumftances. Immediately after this anfwer was given, the trench Atnbaffador gave affurances that the greaten part of the French troops humid quit Italy. It is rumoured that the Republic of Ragufa has applied to be incorporated with Auntie, in imitation, of the union of Genoa to France. This propofition is underflood to have been very favourably received. .Affurances have been at the fame time given by France, that the King of Naples has not lately con-• cluded any offenfive or defenfive alliances. There are at prefent at the camp of Pettaw, 63 battalions of grenadiers. Several of the public journals fay, that the article which appeared in the French Moniteur, refpeding the departure of M. NovosjLTzorv, cannot be ap proved of by refleeting politicians. Thofe who pro. fefs to underhand there fubje4ls, maintain that it is full of contradiftions. They fay, if it be true that France and Ruffle cannot do each other any mate rial injury, France has no right to complain of the aggrandizement of Ruhlia in Perfia or the Crimea. They contend, that the predice of uniting other countries to France is not to be defended. The I plan and privilege of fuch a union is. however, per fevered in, in the fame article. It is not yet afcer- tained who i. the author of this article. For TAL,E,,, , ,RAND it is CelliiaCred to be too long. and for MARAT *OO !hon. The difturbances in Egypt continue. ELPHI BEY I is arming near Ramanieh, to furprife Rofetta and Alexandria. The mifery of that country is beyond defcription. Cur Court Gazette of this day contains the follow. ing intpligence from Turkey— " The feuds between two of the molt powerful Go vernors of Turkey in Afia, TSHAPAN Octo and 'lsa ias Pas Hs, of Trebifonde, take a very ferious turn. .A decifive battle has been fought, in which TSHA PAN IDGLu was completely routed. Angora, Tokat, Amafia, and other cities, followed the laws of the Conqueror, and fubmitted to Trips& PASHA, who was already known to be a mortal enemy to the Ni. aami Gedid, and the new military fyftem. " The lath of July is the day fixed for the formal audience of introduflion of the Enghlh Envoy, Mr. ARBUTHNOT; meanwhile he bas already had feveral e.onferences with the REIS EFFENDI. The large Iri s:ate which conveyed him to Conflantinople, is re rained to the Meditettranean. There are alfo two sloop; of war in the roads off Bujukdere, having arrived from Malta with a convoy, and a large Roman tranfport, bound from Coifs to iktd battopol." I General STRAUCH, who was a Member of the s• lk Council of War, is fent to Tyrol as an atliftant to the General commanding in that province. He has already fet off for Infpruck. Psi U. Sid. • &RUN, AUG. 9. —Mr. WUC HEILER has •acilved here from the Court of the Eleelor of Wurtemberg. It is reported, that the objea of his million is to ap ply to the King of •Pruflia to unite the States of Wurtemberg to the armed Neutrality of the North, in the event of the renewal of hollilities on the Con tinent. BONAPARTE is Paid to have declared, that he will not confent to any peace till Malta is reftored to the Knights of St. John of Jerufalem, and that a body of French troops &all march into the Neapolitan ter ritories as foon as any part of the Ruffian troops quit the Republic of the Seven Hies. An arrangement betwixt Auflria and France, at the expence of Swit zerland, is talked of. The French Charge d'Affaires at Heffe Caffel intimated, that if Mr. TAYLOR, the Englifh Charge d'Affaires, was not difmiffed from that Court in ten days, he thould take his departure. The ten days elapfed, and Mr. TAYLOR continues at Heffe Caffel. The Danifh Minifler BERNETORF has had frequent conferences with M. HARDENBkRG. The objca of thefe meetings is unknown. as the projelesitnarriage betwixt the Prince of Pruffia and a Priucefs Den mark is not to take place. At the laft order for recruiting the Anftrian army, even the fubjeas of foreign Powers were not tared. —Several remonfirances have been made on thwfub jed, but without producing the defired effea. ROLL 4ND. Hacut, Auc. to.—The expedition in the Teiel, which, betides !hips of war, confias of feventy-four ' tranfports, has been ready to fail thefe two days.— The day after to-morrow the (hips and troops will be infpeeed and reviewed forlhe laft time, when the Grand Penfionary will be prefent • after svhat the expedition will wait the orders-of:Ae French Empe ror for its failing. The troops of the expeditiOn - are commanded, under General Maxima r, by General Staarrtamt, well known for his political journies tb Egypt, Syria, and Conflantinople. It was at firft caul, that he would command the four thoufand French troops which are to be embarked at Helvoet flays. _ _ A poft goes off from hence to the Helder and the Ten' every morning and evening. A courier has arrived here - from the French Em peror, at Boulogne, and 'proceeded to tLe Fielder, whence he has fet out with difpatches on his return to Boulogne. The report that our Envoy at Lilbon, VAN GRAS vat" has been appointed Governor General of Ba• tavia, is without foundation. Our Envoy at the Court of RulDa, VON HOORN. DORP I arrived here yefterday with his family. • FRANCE. PARIS, AUGUST S. For tbefe fir weeks paft greater preparations than ever have been made at Boulogne for the• invafion. Upwards of one hundred and fifty thoufand 'men are affembled at Boulogne and its-vicinity. There are five thoufand veffels in the poit. The three divifions of the army will be denominated the Scotch, Eng. lifh, and 'as armies. •It is airmail, that the fleet of Admiral 1/mutating will foci appear off. the Iri Aucurr sr.—This day the report is general that the invafion will be attempted. It is altarted by one party, that the Combined Fleet had advanced to the Channel to drive away the Engßib cruizers, and clear the way for the Boulogne flotilla. Every thing announces that great events will loon occur. We wait the refult of them with the confi. dence which is infpired by the genius and the fortune of him who has prepared and d!redcd them. The Englifh were never more feeble than at home, and Martha! Saxe always delivered it as his opinion that the Engliffi never would be conquered but in Lon don. The paffage by lea, to land in' Ireland, is not more difficult to the- French armies, than the paffage of the Rhine, the Danube, the Po, and the Adige.— Our triumphant foldiers have pa tted thofe dangerous and rapid rivers, in the face of an enemy's army, and under the fire of a tremendous artillery. We may land on the emits of.lreland, England, and Scotland. There are bars at all the ports . Oppollte France, which are proper for attempting a landing with boats, convoyed by frigates,which can approach much nearer the bars than (hips of the line. The , Weil, South, and South Well winds can carry the (hips of France, to England, and, a calm can prf= . vent the enemy's chips from leaving their pert..- r . Fleets have been fometimes fees taking advantage.of the darknefs of the night, or a thick fog, to pats through the micill of an enemy's fquadron without being perceived. The Prince of Ottanoef, fleet pa. cd DoverStreights in fix hours without James the Second's fleet, which was iu the Downs, being in formed of it. Adntiral ANSON, when he. returned from his voyage round the world, was informed at London that he had pallid through .a fquadron :,ruining before Breit. It has been abfurdly fuppof ed, that to &al a landing it is neceffary to fight Ind difperfe an enemy's fleet. Experience has proved that we may reach the Britith coall without kaQing the lea, or being obliged to equal the naval force of the enemy. A fleet which is (Leering to one point has but one line to follow. An enemy's fleet, which might be fent to attack it, and difpute its paffage, would be obliged to cruize and keep the lea at all points, and in all directions. The chofen point of attack is neceffarily a .fecret, and that fecret will force the enemy to fpread their force. We know that the Englifh, Scotch, and Irifh coafls are full of facilities for a debarkation, fo that the enemy conld not develope and extend their force on the fame coat. After the landing has been effei!ed, the ' French armies would meet with no more °Wades ; for there is no ftrung place in England capable of fuflaining a long liege—the greater' part of thofe which are firong on the lea ide could not oppofe annefiltance to th ,, fewlio might attack them by land. TUR KE r. •• CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY to.—On the 24th of June, his Majefty's frigate the JuNo, anchoted in this port, having on board his Excellency CHA!. ARBUTH Nor, the Britifh Ambaffador, his Lady, family, and fuite, confining of 30 perfons. His Excellency was detain ed at Corfu a week, owing to the different conferen tes between the Englifh Refident there, and the Ruf fian Minifler. The Garrifon of Corfu confilts of abotit men ; General DAN REP commands the garrifon, and Commodore Gaff° the fleet, which confifts of three fail of the line and fix frigates. Great preparations are making to render the pub lic audience of the Englifh AmbalTad‘r as grand as paffible. There is no French Ambaffador here at prefent, only a Charge d'Affaires. _ The Nara is extremely aftive in getting the fl!eti and armies in a good date. The Cati-rxx PASHA has failed into the Archipelago, with eight fa:l of the' line, in fine condi:ion, to collet the annual tribute. This day, Mr. Ross, one of his Britannic Majef ty's meffengers, arrived in this capital, with dif patches for the Englifh Anthaffador, from his Md.. jefty's refident• in the Morca, JOHN PHILIP MOEtIER, Efq. He came by the way of Meffelemgee, Corfu, Janina, in Albania, and Salonica. The robbers are out in great bodies in Romelia. All the part of Ma lagra, Roaddone, and Silivan, even to within eight hours of the capital, is totally invetted. The Poem is making every preparation to difperfa them. Thete is not the leaft fymptom of the e la g ue in.this capi tal, all being now perfaty heartlir. • . JULY 28.—The Porte has received ano th er courier from Egypt, who brings advice' that'Elphi Bey,.who yin once in England, has accepted the invitation of the Chief of the Arnauts, Seid Aly, and had ad vanced as far as Cairo, when thofe accounts came away, bnt was obliged before he enteredthat city, to propofe a treaty of to the Beys of the oppofite party, to keep his year free. The treaty is probably already concluded. At the fame time he has defcribed to the Porte the fituation of Egypt, and reprefented the neceffity of refioring the Mamelukes to their for mer power in that country, which would be the only means of refloring order and tranquillity: He has, at the fame time, applied to ivl. de Rostrri, who is Conful for tome European Courts, reguelling him to fecure the fupport of his petition by the Auttrian, Ruffian; and Englifh 'Envoys at Conflantinople, wheteupon M. de RiaserTy has written to thole En voys ;* but they have intimated that they will nen in terfere in this huhnefs, and in their anfwer they exhort Er.vayame to return to his duty and fubmiffion to the Porte.

Several getters, by this conveyance, enter into circomaantial details bf the various attacks upon the fort of Bhurtpore, but as they diffet - in nothing from thole contained in the of ficial accounts, already publifhede and are not of a fubtequent date, we conceive it unneceffary to lay their contents before • our Readers. •It is mentioned from Calcutta, under dale of the 4th of Mach, that Meer Khan's irruption into Rofchkcund u;as attend. ed with lets mifchief than was at firft apprehended. General SMITH purfued him• fo clofe, that be could commit no devallation, and was it length obliged to fly to the hills for fafety. • Sir EDWARD PE LL 2W had taken great pains to make our navy in that quarter more refpeflable. He had added to our naval lirength the Charon and Kaikauffaoo, two India fhlps, which were convert. ing, with all poffible expedition, into 44 gun frigates, iB-pounders, to be called the Lord Howe, and Lord Duncan. It was alto in agitation to convert the Caftlereagh into a frigate, to carry the fame number of guns. The TRIM/MMUS and GRAMPUS were tin der orders to proceed immediately to the yle of France, for the purport of blockading it. It " I s je tended that the' blockade fhould be hencefotward conflantly maintained, by affording reliefs at proper periods. The CONCORD and HUGHES were left cruizing off Point de Galle, and the Russat. and DIOR:ON unit off Acheen. • The Baur:mica (for the fafety of which I much fear was entertained) we are happy to fay is fare.— She arrived at Bombay on the 4afr of March, having five feet water in her hold. The private letters by the Mails of yellerday, 4 ,.. more explicit than the printed journals are, cr indze,l dare to be, refpeding the military movements en the Continent. It is the general oy.;r.ion, in the North c: Germany, that the flee: in the Baltic i; to ewer t),, debarkation of a Ruffian army, either in Swzdilli Pc merania, or the Duchy of Mecklenburgh. If a m.: 3 _ fure of that decided character were refortej to, ‘r t fhould icon be able to difcover what part the Coo;: of Berlin would be likely to take in the a opro a d.:, - war. Hie Pruflian Majefty (fo fay the Continent.: politicians in the French interefl) is tletermit:ef i. I only to adhere to his fyflem of neutrality, but Is I maintain the tranquillity of the Nor ;h of Germlnr. and to take fuels rneafures as may prevent it f! 7: being made tire focus of war by anylwanr etha:_a. If filch be the determination of that Prince, t! r ! tinter ity of it is likely to be icon put to the pro(' —lt is raid that a categorical anfwer has been t' mantled of his Prnffian Majefly by the Empno r ALE XANDE R, as to the line of condu& which he would purfue in cafe the Ruffian armies fliould advance into the North of Germany. What was the nature of anfwer, if any has been given, has not tranfpired ; . but the preparations of the Court of St. Peterfbarg4 are - continued with the fume adivitv as if the were affured of the acquiefcence of Pruffia, or regardlers of her oppofition. If Pruflia (hall oppofe the °cm pation of Pomerania by the Ruffian army, the mull inevitably be involved in the war ; and that the Em peror ALEXANDER has determined to occupy it, is a prevailing opinion in the North of Germany; but whether in confequence of an admit Pale by Sweden, or of a temporary cetlion, arranged for the purports of the war, is not yet certainly known. The military fituation of Auftria has never been more refpedable than it is at prefent. Her. efficient army, far exceeding three hundred thoufand men, is admirably difciptined and conditioned ; and, what is no lets effential, is animated by a fpirit never yet ob. fcrved in it. All the ufelefs exercife has been abo. tithed ; a concife, but much more effalual manual has been introduced; all fuperfluous baggage and fervants are difinifed, and all Officers below the rank of Captain are obliged to march. A fyflem of drefs, bettirr fuited to the fatigues ancl inconveniences of a campaign, bas been eflablifisesi for the foldiers ; the) wear their hair thort ; and all &ire tormenting mi nutia, which,• however pleafing to the view, added nothing to their firength, are henceforth to be oil ' penfed with. The whole of the AuUri:in army are eager for battle, and•fome pains have been taken to infufe into them that ardent fpirit. Some politicians on the Continent affect, however, 1 to believe that pacific arrangements are making be- I.tween France and' Aisftvia. The French Arab& dor was admitted to a private audience by the Em peror of Germany on the sd inflant, at the town of Baden, about fifteen miles from Vienna, when lit is fuppofed. ine ultimatum of the Emperor, on the points that have- given umbrage, was given to the Ambaffadcr, who is Paid to have offered, that conceffions of importance to* Aufbia fhculd be made on the fide of Italy. We may obferve, : however, that fuch opiniors are circulated chiefly in quarters where it is well known the French have their emiffaries and propaganda, as at Altona and along, the Banks of the Maine ; and that they accord not at all with the late article its the Ilion!tenr, moderate and Ipacific as it has been confidered, milers indeed the hint about the puflible feparation of the crowns of France and Italy, is to be regarded as indicative of Tome propofed arrangement refpeding the latter country. It may be farther remarked, that confidering tie charater of TALLEYRAND, nothing is more p Lri!;!e than that Come hollow overture of peace may be made by BONAPARTE on the eve of a new war, With a view to fortify himfelf by its relation. Indeed, if there be any truth in an article publithed nigl):..t will be good policy on his part, f.,r the war will ie cartied on againft himfelf perfonally, and a confiier able degree of management will be neceffary to keep his people in temper—The following is the article to which we allude : It is raid, that the Confederated Powers had agreed, in cafe all it'trnipts to e'ffec't a Peace with the Corlican Ul'urper, and rerun the independence of other States, (haul fail, to fend Ambaffadors to the rightful Monarch of France, and urge him to nuke an ap • peal to the • honour, thb duty, the aff,:dtion, and the pr:de and common fenfe of his fuhj;dts, on the difgrace, opprefdon, and mi• Eery to which they are reduced by a Foreign Defpot. Such a mew. 1 Pure bad been recommended long ago, but it would, pahspi, base more circa. at prtfent, as the unhappy people of Fence h de drained the revoltitionary cup to the very dregs,.and find t , e ter draught is compered of nothing, but humiliation, dcipotifia. the mo jest ilavery. If this appeal ftiould reallyte ma • fore any offinfive ope.ations commence againft the Coll can per, it. mav fluke him on his throne, and tend more to t'te ranee of Europe than any as koftility againft France. h. ;,.: may obviate the neceffity of all military operations but fuck as may rcibue .'ranee from its prefent deplorable thee of bondage and dr:fpair, groaning, ask does, under the reverent police ever known In any country, by order of a fulpicious upitart, who infuhs all other Powers, and kerns ambitious to extend his tyranny over the whole civilized worlik It is to be hoped, that If any of the Continental Powers ihould at hit be routed into naive exertion ;pita the Corfican Despot, they will theinfelves alto ifihe fuck a Manifesto ac will be an 1, 1" peal to the French Nation againit the ambition, injulace and ag greffions of their Foreign Oppreffor. It is full time to pull this man from the height which he has gained by his crimes, as much as by any merits that may belong to his charader. The condition of the French thernfelves, under a Government that hardly leaves them even the privilege of tbiniing„ and that certainly forbids them to utter awls tbowiLts, is alone fulficient to iodate them to (hake off his ufarpation ; but when they find that bii infoltctc to other !.,)!
