HANOVER, lAN. 28. . - - order of the French Government, the Intendant •ville gave notice, in the course of last month, forced loan is to be raised in the Hanoverian dominions. to the amount of 9,000,000 franks, which, of non-payment, is to be levied by the most means of execution. HELSINGBORG, JAN. 14. Danes capture almost every vessel they meet ,no matter of what nation. The Government issued an edict, forbidding any vessel that has left of Great Britain from entering their ports, un stress of weather, on pain of confiscation. COPENHAGEN, JAN. 12. extraordinary levy of recruits is this year to place in Norway, on the same principles which been observed in the kingdom of Denmark and Duchies. It is not yet settled whether the Prince )yal returns from hence to Kiel. General Buxhovden, after the battle of Friedland, '- the command of the Grand Russian and Prus. army, instead of General Benningsen, and, after peace received orders to collect and bring into both the army of Bennitren and , the. reserve had arrived, as also the ntlllitia, dinottliting to 00,000 men. - From Lithuania we learn, that the aimy there con ` 180 regiments, perfectly well armed, accou. and disciplined. The Emperor himself made a to Vetoysk, where General Buxhovden's head marters are, inspected every thing, and presented Gc. Buxhovden with the order of St. Andrew, in . of his satisfaction.

The — einriZizette of this day cif the follow: ing intelligence from Turkey: .1 • According to accounts from Ttittrirth' the begin.. fling of November, the Porte h ad transmitted a letter to the Court of Prussia, containing an apology for the c onduct of the Turkish Ministry, wltich gave offence to Baron Seat Pilsach, and it was not doubted that a Prussian ambissador would soon take up his residence in Constantinople. The Archipelago is now full of English ships, which threaten Smyrna, and blockade the Turkish ports. TRIESTE, JAN. 4. Several French privateers are now cruizing off this port, who take all ships bound from hither to Sicily and Malta, and carry them into Italian ports. 'o • VENICE, JAN. 7. On account if the considerable orders for olive-oil, which has been received from Germany and the North of Europe, that article is•novicietWeled from the king dom of Naples, by land; to Aic ". and from thence in Oil casks, to that place 444 from whence it is further dispatched. , According to letters from *Lisboa, the quantity of Brazil cotton amounted in that hl ace , on the arrival of the French, to 25,000 bags, which have been expor ted to France. _ LISBON, DEC. 23. On account ofthe great scarcity ofmoney, nothing can be sold here at present. But very few houses pay their bills, and few or no bills are accepted, even foe the best drawers. No goods are dispatched from hence,. and the India house continues to be shut up. The confiscation of English goods is postponed until the 26th of next month, at which time the courier who is to bring the decision of the fate of Portugal is expec ted. The disturbances which took place on the 12th and 13th inst. were occasioned by the hoisting of the French colours, which irritated the populace against the foreign military. The soldiers fired several vol lies, but most of them in the air, and no more than 20 lives were lost on both sides on that occasion.— On the 14th tranquillity was perfectly restored, and there is no reason to apprehend any farther commo tion, unless a famine should goad the people to des pair. ' FROM THE FRENCH PAPERS. TRIESTE, JAN. 10. The regulations and ordinances concerning the na vigation of neutrals, and the new maritime law which the English wish to establish, as also the measures France has taken to oppose that tyranny, must neces sarily be expected to shackle the commerce of this port • and,, in fact, this is what has happened . This misfortune, however, is common to all the ports of the Continent ; and it is the general resolution to endure it, if necessary, for a number of years, to free the world from the maritime despotism of England.— Iu consequence of these measures, the relations be tween our -port, and Sicily and Malta, can no longer have place. Colonial commodities frem the West Indies have risen to an extraordinary high price, all the supplies of these articles beipg in the hands of speculators, who fix the prices as they please. Oil is an article, how ever, the price of which oas not risen in proportion to the rest—it is not dear. There are, in the kingdom of Naples, immense quantities of it, and it is from thence that we derive, from time to time, what is ne cessary for our immediate wants, and for our trade. The articles of the Levant have not much risen in price, excepting cottons, which are much sought after and the prices of which are very high. A French privateer has just captured, before our road, a richly laden merchant vessel from Messina. CASSEL, JAN. 16. The Council of State of the kingdom of West . Thalia, according to the Royal Decree relative 'to its orgatization, will be composed-1. Of the Princes of the Blood—'2. The' Ministers-3. The Council lors of State--h The Auditors-5. A Secretary General. ROTTERDAM, JAN. 29. We continue to receive from every side the most calamitous intelligence with respect to the inundation of the 15th of this month. At Goedershed the wa ters rose to an extraordinary height. In one of the' houses, in the lower part, the inhabitants could only be saved from their perilous situation by breaking through the roof, and taking them out that way The battery of the port has suffered greatly. The duke is broken - near the hospital, and the irruption of the waters has done great damage. From Ilelvoetsluys we leatn ' that the greatest alarm has been caused ther e by the inundation ; the water, about two in the morning,. rising not less than four feet and a half higher than in the extraordinary tide of 1775. At New Helvoet the inhabitants caved themselves in the steeples. The dyke at Old Hoorn was overflowed by the sea ; fortunatelvit was not brOken, or the whole village would haven swal lowed up. The English brig of war the Sparkler, of 20 guns and fifty-three men, is wrecked near Terschelling: —Thirty-six of the crew were saved ; the rest were drowned. HAMBURCH, JAN. 20. The Prussian officers who are unemployed, have been put on half pay. A commission, consisting of a Major, two Captains, and three Lieutenants, has been appointed for each regiment. All the officers of the corps must present themselves individually, and each, after. having given his word of honour, must, under pain of being broke, declare where he has resided during the war, till he was made prisoner, and likewise denounce those of his comrades, if he knows any, who have neglected their duty. Not to reveal their faults, is to be punished as a perjury.— 'The Generals must present themselves befole another Commission, in which the King's brothers will have Every subaltern oilier is authorised to make Mounded complaints against the General Wider trioon lie haiserved, and even against say other.

Of the Mails that were due two arrived yesterday morning, the contents of which were given in our last ; three more arrived in the afternoon, and another at a late hour last night. The accounts by the latter mention the-aate arrival of the Nassau and Stately, of 64 guns each, at Got tenburgh, with £lOO,OOO in specie for - our - Alty the King of Sweden. • The letters from Sweden of the latest dates, dis. countenance the accounts in some of the Continental Journals, of Russia -having 'commenced hostilities against Sweden. Ploy -.mention that no increase 'whatever had taken plice in the Russian army sta tioned in Russian Finland for the last two months, nor had any disposition to hostile movement been ma nifested. We understand, from high authority, that a very active correspondence has for some time pre vailed between the Russian and .Swedish Courts, re lative to the connection of the latter with this country; and that the Swedish Monarch continues firm in his resolution to persevere in resistance to France and adherence to Great Britain. The military and naval force of Sweden are men tioned to be in the highest state of preParation. Count MOELTKE, the Ambassadot4rorn Denmark, arrived at Stockholm on the 18th•ult. This Noble6 l man had been appointed to‘dris,ielee several months ago, but in consequence of the aberiee of his Majesty from Stockholm, had but recently rapieedel upon his mission: From his arrival at the Sweetish Court at this particular juncture, it is inferred that the amica ble intercourse between Denmark and Sweden is likely to experience no interruption.
