Gated tumults, In which blood has been flied The ;vette& part of the inhabitants are delirous that the place Osould be given up to the Servians. The Turks and the Kerfales, who compofe the garrifon, have refolved, on the contrary, to defend theinfelves to the left extremity. The indigent dais of the in. habitants, which is very numerous, is already afflic ted with the horrors of famine. In the night between the !itch and igth of December, force perform of this defctiption landed on an ifland in the Danube, called the Bohemians, and carried off a vend ladcn with flour, and three others, with cargoes of grain, - freighted at the expence of our Government. The Commandant of Semlin immediately fent an inter preter to Belgrade, to inquire the reafon of this aft . _ _ . of violence, arid to demand fatisfaition. The reply was, that the Turks, being reduced to the greaten extremity for articles of the fiat necefEty, endeavour ed to procure them by every poffible means; that it was hoped their defpair would plead in excufe of an ail which they would not have dated to commit at any other time ; and that, at the conclufion of the troubles, the value of the flour and the grain Ihould , be punctually repaid. Since this circumftance, all communication with Belgrade has ceafed ; not a fin • gle Turk ventures to pats to our (bore upon any pre text whatever. Even the Servians, who have bull nefs here, are not permitted to Ray longer than twelve hours. To prevent new depredations, a fining piquet of frontier troops, with cannon, has been pal ed on the ramparts, and patroles are frequently de tached into the environs of the town. •NOTHIIit LETTER, SAM! DATIL According to different accounts, a numerous corps of &Neck troops made an incurfion into Servia, but they have beets repotted with confiderable lois, by the infurgentr, who went to meet them. More than three thoufaad Turks were left dead upon the field. Another corps of (even hurdred Bofniacks, which had penetrated on a point that was feebly de fended, has advanced, it is Paid, as far as the envi rons of Schabatz. From what we herd, this lat place is again in the bandit' of the Turks. On this fubjed we have the following particulars : On Saint Nicholas's day, a feftival which the Servian nation celebrates with particular folemnity, the garrifon, which was not numerous, part of it having advanced towards the frontiers, abandoned themfelves en tirely to the pleafures of the table. The Turks took advantage of this oppnrtnnity, rufbed unexpectedly on the Servians, anaffacred them all, made them (elves mailers of the gates, and of all the other pofts. JAL 3. —In the night between the z7th and the seth of December, the Turks in Belgrade made a (ally, both by land and water. About twelve hun dred men advanced toward Zfarkopze and Zflefnik. They attacked the Servian pofts with impetuofity, and, though the latter were fpeedily fuccoured, they were entirely difperfed. Czerni George being in . r formed of this circumßance,baftened with fre fh re •l inforcements, and came up with the Turks near . Kaiferibruckel, at the moment when they were pre pat ing to retreat. An obninate engagement milled, and continued till day light, without any advantage to either fide. At length the Servian troops having made a tat effort, the Turks were thrown into con fufion and driven back, with confiderable lets, under the cannon of die place. At the fame time another Toad& corps had proceeded in boats, as far as Of tronitza. They met with fcarcely any refinance, the Servians having but feeble advanced polls in that point. After making a confiderable booty, pasticu• larly in cattle, they returned to Belgrade. This un expelled tally produced an alarm, on our coati ; all i the frontier troops were put under arms, and paled on the (bore of the Saave. Oa the 3oth, before day light, the Turks, embol dened by the fuccefs of t he tall attempt, again pro ceeded in force towards atronitza. They at fire repulfed the advanced polls of the infurgents, pece tested to the village, and fet fire to five houfes ; but at the moment when they lealt expeded it, a nu merous corps of Servians appeared, and attacked . them on both tide., keeping up a mot vigorous fire. The Turks, for tome time, withllood the charge ; but they were loon obliged to retreat with precipita tion, towards Belgrade, leaving on the geld of battle more than two hundred killed and wounded, as well as the booty they had taken. The Servians loft about fifty men. The fortrefs of Schabatz is again befieged by the infurgents. Crerni George has fummoned the Turks to furrcnder, but has received an anfwer in the negative. The place has fince been brilkly can nonaded, and it is believed that the Strvians will endeavour to take it by affault. Jaw. e.7.—The troops which the Emperor of Au- Rria hasordered to cover the frontiers of his States on the fide of &rata begin to arrive, and mon op portunely—for latterly the Turks at Belgrade have pelted the narrow barriers which feparate us, and carried off (ever's) boats loaded with corn and flour. The Auftrian Commander having preferred his com plaint to the Turkilh Governor at Belgrade, the latter returned for anfwer, that he did every thing in his power to prevent thefe creates. but that the Auftrian officer could not be ignorant of the dread ful fituatinn of the city, which was in want of every thing, and hard prated by the enemy at the lame titre—that he mull impute to extreme neceility the feizure of a few boats, the value of which (hould be repaid to the Imperial treafory, as foon as tran quillity fhonld be retiablifbedin the country. Un f .rtunatefy there is little hopes that there bloody Males will (non be terminated. A defperate battle lately took place under the walls of &habilis, which the Servians retook by affault ; the matfacre was ge neral, and all the Muffulmans were put to the (word. On the other fide, a number of Bofnians, who at- t tempted to pats th e Di waits boats, were all dearoyed./ OERMANT. AUGSBURGH, JANUARY 57. The garrifon of Munich. when it entered .this place, had at its head the brave General Deroi. All the colours were decorated with laurels, at the in- Rance of the Magiftrates. Six thoufand Bavarian and Wirtembergian troops have, within there few days, paired through Donall• werth and Neubourg. Private letters from Vienna announce, that the Archduke Ferdinand has begun his march with his troops, reinforced by apart of the irmy of the Arch duke Charles, towards the frontiers of Turkey.— This movement alone has given birth to the report, that they ere going to occupy tome of the Turkillt provinces bordering upon the frontiers of the Auftrian States. We read, iri the fame letters, that the fira misfor tunes of the Ruffians in Moravia, are attributed to the Prince D'Auerfperg, whole dilmilTal is determin. ed upon. The affairs at Hollabrun and Gunterfdorf are particularly alluded to, where, without regard to his inftrueinns, and being deceived by a pretended armiflice, be neglated to burn the bridge of Tabor, near Vienna. The French Official Journal has publilbed a lift of the Swedigs veffels brought into the French ports, fince the commencement of the war. They are . . twenty-two in number, five of which have been car ried into the ports of e allies. Beatles the above, feven others have been detained in the French ports. Four Englifla veffels, with provifions for the fleet Rationed before Cadiz, have been taken. and brought into the Channel, by a privateer from St. Maloes.— One of them entered St. Maloes on the 30th of Ja nuary ; another is arrived at Lannion ; and the other two are at Morlaiz. Their cargoes coufill of butter. cheefe, wine, brandy, beer, &c. yallttallt 31. This day twenty waggons laden with money,coming from Außria, pared tough this City. The French foldiers have received no pay for fcveral months. The report which has been circulated here during the laft 'fortnight, that 50000 French troops, will remain in Bavaria till the affairs of the North of 'Ger many are finally fettled, is unfounded. FRANIEPORT. JANUARY se. The General of Divilion Desjardins, commanding the 7th Corps of the Grand Army, arrived here ye. terday morning with his Staff, and a detachment of the 7th regiment of horfe chaffing... After having a conference with the Members of the Senate, a bri gade of his troops entered ibis city, under General Lapilli i and went into cantnnotents. The appearance and difcipliae of thefe troops are admired. The Privy Councillor De Malfbourg has left Ca fe' for Paris where he is to refide as the Minifter of his Highnefs the Eleitor' of Heffe. According to a German Gazette, a large quantity of grain has been drawn from the HetiTan magazines for the ufe of the Pruffian troops. The fame paper Rates, that the fe queftration put upon the States of the Prince of Tour and Taxis, in the Low Countries, has been removed by order f the Emperor of the French. The Ruffian Prince(' Belothifski, reading at Bay reuth, has not only daubed and fed fuch Ruffian prifoners as have ranfomed themfelves, but furnifhed others who pallid that way with &Mance.) Having learned that many of thefe foldiers were in the habit of paling through Hoff, and without coming to Bay reuth, the has eftablithed a Commilfioner at that place, to extend the benefits of her benevolence. Jaw. 3o.—The Pruffian troops which had fallen back upon Weftphalia and the Waldeck territory, have again advanced, and occupy a number of polls' in Wettaravia. HAMBUROH, FEBRUARY 7. The French troops under Angerean, dte. continue to maintain their potation in Germany, the Main, and Lower Rhine. It is now rumoured here, that in confequence of the ferret articles of the treaty of Freiburg!), the Imperial cities will be ceded to different powers, viz. Frankfort to the Elcanr of Mentz, now Arch Chan cellor of the Empire • Bremen to Pruffia ; and this free City to Denmark. This arrangement is (up. poled to be the objca of Count Berrillorff's journey to Berlin. Count Bernftorf, Count Hardenberg, and the French Minifter Laforefi, have daily conferences. Fag. s r.—Letters from Hanover of the Bth inft. mention, that on the 7th the regiment of the Duke of Brunfwick entered that city, and marched to Cell, where a Pruffian field hofpital had already arrived. The Britifh troops have evacuated Bremen, and have, for the molt part, been re-embarked. A great de fertion now prevails among his Majefty's German Lesion : at the Taft fair, three hundred of the cavalry arrived at Brunfwick, where they fold their horfes and baggage, and then proceeded farther. The Da. nulls Mininer of State Bernftorff nil' remains at Berlin upon negociations. In the night of,theth inn. not lefs than fix couriers arrived at, or left Hanover, on the part of the Bruins, Ruffians, and Pruffians. The Hanoverian Minifter Count Munner, previous to his leaving that country, publifbed a Proclamation to the inhabitants of the Eledorate, under date of the 3d inn. acquainting them with his departure, 4nd adviling every fubjed not to make the leaft refinance againa the meafures that will be taken, as it would only operate to their prejudice, without benefiting the country, as the Ruffian army, n,w under the command of the King of Pruffia, mull quit the Elec torate, and the Britifh troops are ailiged to obey the orders they lately received for their re-embarkation. He farther fays, that the Swedith army is in this manner left to itfelf, and in fpite of the molt favour. able views of its augur Chief, could only defend a part of the Eledorate againn a meafure which France and Pruffia had concerted in commas:. Some of the German papers contain an account that the French army had aCtually entered the king. dom of Naples, and difperfed the combined forces. In an engagement which took place there the Prince Royal of Naples is Paid to have loft his fife. Thefe rumours, however, require confirmation. By private letters from Paris, the Neapolitan Am balrador, Marquis de Gallo, had been ordered to quit that city within twenty-four hours. Cardinal Ruffo Was expedled there from Naples, but orders were Paid to hive been fent by Napoleon to the frontiers, not to permit him to enter the French territory. Their Sicilian Majellies have, by all accounts, rc turned to Palermo t and the Xing of Sardinia is return'd to his Ifland. Prince joreph Bonaparte will, it is laid, be created King of Naples. By letters from Frankfort. of the 4th infant, that city, which has now a more numerous French garri fon than ever, has received official alfurences from the French Government, that it is to remain in flatu pa. Since Bonaparte's return to Paris, the French Bank bas refumed its payments. Ninety•fiz large calks, full of gold and Myer, ef coiled by a confiderable body of troops, preceded Napoleon's entrance, and have been depofited in the Palace of the Tuilleries. The Prince Royal of Bavaria has now affumed the title of Archduke. General Laurißon has taken poffeflion of Venice, in the name of Napoleon. The French bola much of being become fuch :spar neighbours of the Turks. By the lad! advices his Swedifh Majeßy remained at his head quarters in Boitzenburgh. VIENNA, JANUARYI4. His Malay hu confided the direflion of Foreign Affairs to his Minifter Count John Philip Stadion, formerly Ambaffador to the Court of Bas. iIIUARY 1. Oar Court Ca:cue contains the following intel ligence from Italy: On the sgth of December M. Talleyrand Perigord, the Nephew of the French Miniller for Foreign Af fairs, arrived at Rome from the head quarters of the Emperor Napoleon, after having had a conference with Markel Mallen., at Padua. The Neapolitan troops, commanded by the brave Count Roger Damas, under the command is chief of Laky, amounting to about 57,000 men, were in their camps between the great roads to Rome, and Absozzo, at Jano, at San Germano, and on the river Tronto. The Q?cen had determined to repair to the army in perfon, with the Hereditary Prince, and Prince Leopold, but in the mean time the former was attacked by a violent fever. Every preparation has been made in cafe of the worn, to retire again to Palermo. The report that the Englilb, under General Craig, have received orders to re•embark for Malta, is un founded. Count Philip Cobentzel and Baron Fels, have re. ceived inftruetions to return each to his former poll : I the former as Ambailidor to Paris, and the latter as Envoy to the Hague. PRUSSIA. BERLIN, FEBRUARY L The Bavarian Atobaffador has had an audience of their Wellies, in which he announced, in the name of his mafter, the affumption of the title of • King of Bavaria. It is Paid the King will take a tour to Pomerania, to fee the Ruffian troops. The Arobaffaclor of Wortemburgb, Baron STRUDI, is gone to St. Peterfbargh, to announce the affump• lion of the Royal Title. The State of Wurtem• burgh will be re-eftablifised, at the defire of the Emperor of France. FR4WCR. LYONS, JANUARY sr. This day Cardinal Ruffo palled through this city, on his way to Paris. ROUEN, FEBRUARY 4. The diocefe of St. Brien; five hundred thonfand fouls, mould have (even hundred cures, but have aaually fcarcely five hundred ; one hundred and /my priefis have died in this diocefe in the fall two years, and the (Culinary hays only thirty perfons who are defined to take orders. During the fail fif teen years fcarcely any perfons have taken orders in France. _ _ The Cardinal Archbithop of Rouen, in a paftoral letter upon the fubjeft, obferves—g , Within a few gears the vac diocefe of Rouen will be without prices. It is impoffible to replace the ravages made by death —many of our fellow labourers have reached fifty years of age ; many are beyond that period ; perhaps very Coon, our country places, and even our cities, will have nothing but a few miffionaries, wandering from parifh to parifh, and effetaing but little of what ought to be done." After exhorting his clergy to exert themfelves to the utmoft to prevent thefe effe 1. ; without them, he obferves, the reftoration of the worfhip of our fathers will be vain and illufory ; and without the eilablifhment of a feminary, he adds, nothing will remain to the church of Rotten but the bare edifices,* and the regrets of the faithful. SPAIN. MADRID, JANUARY so. The coati of Catalonia has become the fettle of an achievement worthy of a place in the annals of Eng lifh piracy. An officer who was leading a detach ment from Tortofa to Reufs ftate , , that a (mall body of armed Englifh had landed, for the purpnfe of carrying off his cheep. He went to meet thefe mo dern Buccaneers, killed one of them, and took three ',droners.

The occupation of Dalmatia by a French force has caufed great uneafinefs :o the Turks, who are appre henfive, and not without reafon, that no good can refult to them from Co clofe a neighbourhood with thofe who have promifed to Außria " indemnities in the EaR." Indeed all the Turkifh provinces border ing upon the Auflrian frontier appear to be in a molt deplorable Rate.
