The King has appointed as Ambassador at Paris, in the room of Baron de Dryer, deceased, Genera' de Waltersdorf, Grand Cross of the Order of Dane brog. . . VIENNA, SEPT. IS. • According to the last letters from Constantinople, the following Official Bulletin has been published in that capital in the Turkish language SUBSTANCE OF TILE AGREEABLE NEWS RECEIVED FROM THE IMPERIAL CAMP. " The enemy of the trite faith before Schumla bad began on the 10th of the Moon Gemaziul.Achyr, (last Thtirsd.ty, the 12th of July), to erect a battery in the plain which extends on the right of Kuslue- Joly, but the work was interrupted by the effect of the bombs and bullets which we fired ons. him in the night. On the next day the Ottoman troops made a , brisk and courageous attack on the enemy, and forced, them to abandon the battery. On the 12th of the same Moon (Saturday 14th July), the Infidels, who found themselves greatly embarrassed, erected a new battery behind the former, and fired during a day and a night on the entrenchments. of Schumla. Not withstanding, however, their brisk fire, we only lost , two or three men, some cattle, and several houses.— Perceiving that they could not do us any damage, and finding on the other hand our cannon and mor tars harrassed them greatly, they abandoned in the night their batteries and trenches. The camp of the Field Marshal, which was opposite Schumla, on the road to Silistria, distant about two hours march, was transferred from Straza to the village of Kayalidere, five tours march from Rasgrad, all the other corps in the neighbourhood were placed in the rear. " On the 18th of the. same moon, (Thursday, the 19th July), we received intelligence that the enemy hactretrograded his baggage, and showed an inten tion of raising his camp, and we sent a considerable body of troops in pursuit of him. His Highness the Generalissimo led the troops in person to the combat. With the aid of the ALMIGHTY the battle commenced whits_ the enemy was raising his camp at Kayalidere, and retreating with rapidity. In the combat, which lasted from twelve ,till seven (that is to say from seven in the morning till ten at night), the infantry and ca valry of the enemy were completely beaten. The place even where was situated the camp of these un fortunates, became the theatre of the military evolu tions of the troops of his Highness. " Praise he to the LORD who has given us so signal a victory; and of which the trophies are a great number of heads and of prisoners. After the enemy had fired two or three rounds of ammunition, the combat was terminated according to the usages of war, and the victorious Ottoman troops returned to their camp co vered with glory." SCILLA, SEPT. 5. Yesterday Rear-Admiral Martin having perceived seime•Movements on the part of our flotilla, made the signal for his to set sail and attack us—our brave crews were soon prepared for the combat. For a con siderable time our line received the whole fire of the enemy without returning it ; they at length com menced theirs, and after an action of two hours, the English flotilla was obliged to return to - the Sicilian coast; towing, as usual, several vessels. • We lost in this affair only two men, four were wounded, and a scorridor run a-ground. Siarne gun boats, which were slightly damaged, were repaired the same evening. The enemy suffered much from the fire of our batteries, which happens every time hp approaches. them. - Sortie time previous to the action two of •our scbr ridors chased,.under the'fire of a vessel, two English scorridots, which would have certainly fallen into cur hands, had if nee been for the protection of the vessel. To-day; at five in the morning, It was an nounced to the King that the enemy's corvette had hoisted the. signal .of attack, his Majesty, in conse quence, ordered the flotilla to prepare for action.— When the army came to make a trial of embarkation, they received orders to keep at a distance - from the, 'shore, and to ascend the heights, in order that they might be covered from the enemy's fire. At nine, or a little after, the English flotilla set sail, directing itself against our line. , Arrived in front of our batteries, they commenced a tremendous fire, which we an swered in a manner the most courageous, and wall supported. Twice the enemy retired under his batte ries : at length a frigate and three brigs received orders to attack us,- hrmging back the whole flotilla. A dreadful action then again commenced, and during two hours 200 pietel Csfeannon• kept up a contin fire. The frigate and 'the • three brigs twice pa th along our whole line, firing their broadsides aga, our gun-boats and transport vessels, which supported. -this new assault with a courage above all praise. Had it net beeti fir the vicinage-of the enemy's coast, we should have infallibly taken two of their gun boats. One of the-brigs sufferedgreatty in its mists and rig eng, and fie or six giin-boars were struck and taken in tow. On our side we only lost one seaman, only five were wounded, and six gun boats and five trans pmts slightly damaged.

We have several circumstances to state, Which, when - combined, leave no doubt upon our mind that this event has actually taken place, though no so counts which confirm it have yet been received. It was known. yesterday at the Admiralty that the ToNANT, of 80 guns, had arrived at Plymouth, after a quick passage from Lisbon : and it was also known by the telegraphic notice, that she brought some in telligence about the armies ; but the weather was so hazy as to prevent any accurate communication.—lt was, however, reported in the afternoon that MASSENA had certainly received a defeat, and the report will, we expect, be confirmed in a few hours. By our port letters received this morning, we learn that the TONANT left Lisbon so late as Friday lass. The Telegraphs between the British army and Lisbon had been for some time at work, and had announced the approach of MAs.satiA's army, and the certainty of a general action taking place in a few hoiirs. A Gentleman who came home in the Tolima informs us, tliat just before she sailed in the evening, the Te. legraph had •announced the commencement of the action. The TONANT could not, however, wait the result. We confess that had we no other circumstance* but the above on which to build an opinion, of even the certainty of an action having taken place, it would be too slight a ground; but the following letter, re ceived yesterday afternoon, shews that on Monday evening accounts had reached lime of a battle hav ing been fought between the armies under Lord WELLINGTON and MAESENA, which terminated in the defeat of the latter. a Royal William, Spithead, 7 o'clock, Tuesday Evening. " I am confident you will feel happy in hearing news so Li vourable to the country. I have the pleasure to inform you, that this morning an Officer from the American brig of war Hornet, came on board our ship with the intelligence of Lord Wat.i.ino. TON having completely defeated Massown. The news reached Havre, where they were, and which they left yesterday evening. The Officer stated also, that the American Ambassador bad quitted that country. There was great despondency in conse quence of the defeat of their army. The American Consal-Ge. neral left France on the 28th uL" To the above we have to add, that a gentleman who was on board the Hornet, and who left Paris so late as Sunday last, states, that it was then currently reported that MASSENA had sustained a serious defeat. The Duke of Marlborough packet has arrived at FalmoUth from Lisbon. She brings - no accounts of an action, but she had a passage of eight days, and could not possibly bring news so late as the TONANT.

AnOther rhodomontade appears in the Papers, on the subject of the late defeat of Musts 's flotilla. As far as we can gather from their own distorted state ments, it appears that MURAT'S troops had comedown to the shore, to make an attempt at embarkation, but seeing our flotilla coming over to make an attack, the magnanimous King of Italy very prudently ordered the troops to keep at a distance out of the reach of our fire, but this it appears they were not altogether able to effect. This faithful narrative of course asserts, that our flotilla retreated in great disorder ; and adds, that had it not been for the vicinity of the Sicilian coast, two of our gun-boats would infallitly have been taken. Some interesting extracts of letters, from various parts of Spain, will be found in another column.— They arc rather of a cheering nature, •and it would appear that the French armies are every where kept in check by bodies of Patriots, while they are daily weakened by dcsertioas and sickness. • ME.

Tuesday evening the ESPIEGLE sloop sailed from froth Plymouth, with the Thetis and Eliza transports under convoy, having twcrcompanies of artillery on board, for Lisbon. An Officer belonging to the 2d Battalion of the 35th Regiment assures us, that not a man of that regiment has been confined with the %Vakheren fever for the last four months. The report that the 18th Hussars had received or ders to embark for foreign service is, we understand, totally without foundation ; nor is there at this mo ment any probability of such an event taking place. On Saturday a company of the Royal Marines ar rived at Chatham, from Woolwich, to join the bat talion which is now forming at the Royal Marine Barracks at that place. The battalion, including cne company of Royal Marine Artillery, is to be employed on some secret expedition under the command of Majors WILLIAMS and (ABERNETME. The Dolphin store-ship, which arrived at Ply mouth on Monday, from Cadiz and Corunna, brought home the Swiss battalion that lately surrendered at Puebla de Sanabria, together with their officers.— They had been upwards of two years in the French service. Monday night, as the barrack guard at Frankfort barracks, Plymouth, were relieving the sentinels on duty, one of them was found asleep on his post,, and on one of the reliefs attempting to awake him, .he started up and run his bayonet through the otle's breast. He is not expected to recover. Qn Friday last, two squadrons of that highli dis ciplined anti distinguished regiment, the 7th Dragoon Guards, had a brilliant Field-day at Birmingham.— The precision, and at the same time the extraordinary rapidity with which they performed the different ma noeuvres, reflects the highest credit on that very old and deserving Officer, Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel LATHAM. A large concourse of fashionables were present, and were much gratified with the fine ap pearance both of ;nen and horses. This regiment is shortly expected at Portsmouth, in order to embark for Portugal, where the service of so distinguished a corps cannot fail to prove an acquisition to the army, The Duke Of CUMBERLAND'S Sharp Shooters on Tuesday had a field-day, and were inspected by Col. hotttorsow in Hyde Park. The Colonel expressed l i his satisfaction at the able manner in which they went through the manoeuvres adapted to the service of troops intended for advanced and piquet service. Died, at Plymouth Citadel, aged 68, universally esteemed and respected, Captain BAILEY, Adjutant and Paymaster of the North Devon Militia : he car ried the colours of the late Marquis Cornwallis's Re-1 giment, the 33d, at the celebrated battle of Minden, on the Ist of August, 17.59, being then only 17. Sunday se'nnight, at 3 A. M. during a violent gale from N. E. a brig of about 90 tons burthen, WILLIAM rawer master, pirtly laden with coals, bound from Saltdbats to Dublin, was driven on shore in Bally halbert Bay, in the district of Donaghadee. There were on board the brig, two Officers, and about 60 privates of the Royal Artillery, on their way from- Glasgow to Dublin. Mr. LEMON and Mr. MILLER, coast-officers of Ballyhalbert, attended on the spot, and rendered much aid in procuring boats, &c. to ex pedite the disembarkation of the troops, &c. who will proceed by land to Dublin. The brig fortunately re. ceived no damage, as she was expected to get out by the next morning's tide, • A tradesman - of Cirencester, who, by his inflam , matory expressions and demeanour, attempted to ex cite the soldiers, quartered in that city, to mutiny and rebellion, has, by making a public acknowledgment , of his crime, both in the newspapers, and by reading it himself at the head of the regiment, escaped prose 'anion and the punishment of death. )i• The Prince of WALES arrived at Windsor on Tues day, his Royal Highness paid a visit to her MAJESTY at Frogmore Lodge, and afterwards visited Princess AMELIA ; in the evening returned to London.

We announced yesterday that NAPOLEON'S brother and family had proceeded from Messina to Malta, there to wait till instructions should be sent out from Government respecting their future disposal. Some of our contemporaries have sent them to Gibraltar ; with what degree of correctness will be seen from the following letter 'i MALTA, AUGUST 25, 1810. a LUCIEN BONAPARTE and his family, Madame B. seven children, and a retinue, altogether upwards of 40 persons, were brought hoe on the 23d instant, by Captain BARIUE, of the POMONE frigate, who found them on board an American vessel off Cagliari, in Sardinia, a few days back. where they had been eight or nine days endeavouring to be allowed to land, but which they were peremptorily refused. - seems they embarked at Civita Vecchia, in the Roman States, about three weeks ago. He gave out that as he had refused to divorce his wife, become King of Rome, and marry his daughter (about 15 years old, and now here with the rest of his children) to FIRDINAND VII. of Spain, he has been exiled from the Continent of Europe, and that he intends proceeding to America. —General OAKES waited on him yesterday forenoon; and informed him, that as he wished to land, he should, be provided with accommodations in Fort Bicasoli, where both himself and family would be treated with every attention ; but that, of course, he could not but be considered as a prisoner of war. He is, we learn, to remain here until directions from Government at home shall be received about him."-;, The public have already been informed of the u. toroas plan that had been formed to facilitate the sur render of Lisbon to the French.
