Strong patroLs now parade all the greets of Constantinople during the night, and, except in the quarter of the Franks, no perfon is permitted to be in the greets by night. either in the city or the fuburbs. Both the Etiglilh and French Ambalfadors have lately had feieral cantereaces with the Reis Effendi ; the Porte, however, is determined to abide by its fyllern of mu. It is now atkrtcd that the Porte has con cluded a Convention wi:h the Beys of Egypt, accor ding to which the Government of that Country is to be placed on the fame footing as before the arrival of the French. The Bcvs will, in confeqttence, re gain that authority which the Porte has hitherto re fufed them : this Itatemcnt, however, is not official, and no chip has arrised here fluat Alexandria for confiderable T::Tie.

A heal ty good uncle] (lauding and cn.operation between this country and Great lit itain has ever appeared, to the bed in formed to be effential to the real interefl of both empires, and to that of Europe at large; and we thould hope, that the above circumllances afford a pool, that the rulers of both are if the fame opinion. ST. PkTERBS:PIGH. Nov. B.—The Imperial ukale, ordering a new levy of recruits, commands two men to be taken from every goo pealints. This is only the anal recruiting for filling up the regiments, and no fiza of approaching warlike meafures. The Jefitits fehool is in the moll flourifhing (late,' and is mods frequented. Some of the ft- ft families in Ruflia have entriifted their children to its care.— The Jefiiits have alto erefted, by Imperial permit: Pion, a public Diipenfary, which is fitted up in the completefl manner.

COPLNNAGEN, NOVPMREI 19. The Com'', on board which Lady NVARREN went to St. Peterf burgh, is returned to Ellineur Roads to take the Englifh merchantmen under convoy. The number of (hips which have patted the Sound this month is 478. It is reported that the office of the Field Corn nsiffary in Holftein, which was to be broken up, has received orders to remain for the prefent together, and that the regiments returned from Holttein to their ufoal qnarters, have all) received orders to have their field equipage in readinefs. Nov. 2:.—On the t9th arrived the firfl (hip from Malaga, fence the breaking out of the dillemper there, in Elfineur Roads. It was a Swedifh veffel, whole crew are all well, but the Commiffinners of Ottiarantine, in Elfineur, have canted all the rhefcrib e(precautions to be obferved. For the f,curity of the navigation to and from Drontheim a light blur: has been built on the point of Agnaes, which will he lighted for the firft time on January 1, 1804, and afterwards conftantly, from the ill of September to the t;th of Apiil, will be kept burning from half an hour before funfet to funrife. HANOTRR, Nov. r9.—The whole of the Hanove rim heavy ar•illery is now (with the exception of what is tired by the French) tranfported over the frontiers, and the aifenals Are now empty. ConnieDor RAMDOHR is Rill at Paris; the FIRST CO%kUL is fnid to have given him the aifurance, that on a peace he will think of the Har,overians to their adeantage. It is now laid, that the Congrefs to be held concerning the a'liairs of 'lawyer will be at Schwerin.

PARIS, NOVEMBER When :he Englifh attacked Boulogne, the FIRST C.)Tastm repaired to tilt Road oil board his own pin• and took part in the aaion. He fired off two mortals of a new conartOtion with his own hand. Nov. I 9.—for feveral days there had been no no tics of the proceedings of the FIRST CONSUL. NVe were the , e6.re the more lot prized to hear this day of the a:mai:a - fed arrival of the Chief Magillrate at St. Cl qi. Bow Ara axe arrived lad night, at five o'clock in the evening, from his tour to the coatis. The offi cial Journal confines irfelf to the Pimple notice. It gives no details of the FIRST Cossue's journey, or of the Rate of the preparations on the malls of the Chan nel. The news in the Moniteur had left BONAPARTk at Boulogne, from which it would appear that he returned direaly to Sr. Cloud. In fait, the news (rem the cook to the tOth of No umber, do not make the flictlatett mention of the departure of the FIRST CONSUL from Boulogne or the adj tcent camps at that period. If he has left Boulogne without proceeding further, the objeas of his tour continue incomplete, if it was really his object to infpel the Rate of the preparations along the coati of Flandersto the Scheldt. It cannot, however, be doubted, that motives of an important nature have induced the FIRST CONSUL to defer his more enlarged infpeelion of the preparations for the expedition againa England. Can thefe mm tives be of a nature which will ultimately render this infpc&ion unneceffary ? But we will continue to Rate all the particulars which we have been able to colic& refreting the flay of the FIRST CONSUL on the coaß, and the circumftanc.as by which it was marked.-- BON•PARTE, during the time that he remained at Boulogne, exhibited the greater' poffible afilduity in examining and encouraging all the preparations which are going forward. He made himfelf ac quainted with even the remotell details. He aged as if he had been the principal direftor of all the works that are in a train of completion. A remark able inflance of this is given in a letter addretfed from Boul , gne to the Prefea of the Sambre and Meufe, rcfiding at Namur. The letter is dated No vember i 1, and is in the following words : it is nectfrary, Citizen Prefeet, that your department (amid% Eft) , frnithi, to be employed in the works going forw.rd at Bou logne, make every eurtioa, to have them forwarded with the lesit polTible delay At the fame tame affure them that they will be em ployed in no other place but the w arks at Boulogne, and that they wi!, tc regularly paid. They will receive iu all refpcets the fine treatment which is given to the workmen employed In completing the works of the diifcrert vetch. You will orehr them to be for ward , d to Admiral Bruix, whom you will apprize of the day of it arrival. They mutt come provided with as ample a fupply as potable of working tools. (Sign, d) " 110111ArAILTZ.. Other particulars are worthy of notice. The bat tle which took place on the 4th of November betwixt the divifion of Boulogne gun boats and the Englilh cruizers was not the only fcene of deftrutlion which it was the fortune of the FIRST CONSUL to witnefs. He has had an opportunity of teeing all the dangers and difficulties of maritime war. The form having driven off from the coati about the middle of the month the greater part of the enemy's cruizers, at tacked the flotilla more leveret) , than the cr uizers had done a few days before. On the 6th of November there were in the road of Boulogne, accolding to private letters, a divifinn of filty fix French flat hot— tomed boats, three pinnaces, and a gun Isnat.H About three o'clock in the afternoon orders were fent nut to them to return into the inner harbour, as the fee was theta beginning to be very heavy and tempef tuous. Thirty of the boats fucceeded in getting into the harbour, but one 'of them getting aground, and a gun boat having (truck on a bank, In as to flop the entrance of the harbour, the telt of the veffels were obliged to keep out to Pea. The night was extremely tempeltuous. Five of the flat bottom boats were forced to run on (hare and were deltroyed. A great number of thofe on board periffied. Twelve of the boats reached Calais, and eleven entered Boulogne on the Bth of November. A boat, which was in company with the lett divilion, was taken by an Englith frigate. The lois Curtained by the flotilla at Boulogne has been repaired. From the to the a zth, thirty flat bottomed boats from Havre entered the port of Boulogne. They had on board about 7O wen of the loth regiment of light infantry. Another dirifion of flat bottomed boats left Havre on the 13th of November. On the following day they were feen betwixt Dieppe and Treport, continu ing their rout for Boulogne. At the fame time new divifions armed in the ports of Bretany were moving gradually from that place towards the Channel. With this elefign there let out from St. Mato for C',erbourg, on the night between the toth and I Ws hull. eighteen flat bottomed boat., three gun-boats, twenty-two (loops, forty Newfound. land hihing boats and a pinnace. The departure of the Ida divifions from HATS: and St. Maio, was forwarded by the journey of the Minifler of Marine along that part of the mill. This Miniller having hift Havre nn the evening of the loth, rejoined the Fivar CONSUL on the following day at Boulogoe.- 11c yond this Once there is no pout where armaments are carried on with greater ardour than at Dunkirk. They have again begun 'to equip there a divifirin of light boats, of which two flat-bottomed boats, three pinnaces, and three corvettes lately launched, already form the centre. The runtime Prefea of the fir (1 Diflri& of which Dunkirk is the principal place, withing to prevent the exertions of Ou t dititia from relaxing, has contra dieted, by public authority. a report which would have done much mikhief. A report was circulated that the Marine did not pay the contractors , , a report which had already created in their minds fume doubts, particularly at 011 end. The above-mentioned Pre- Rear• Admiral NIELLY, declared, that they re gularly paid at Dunkirk whatever (Imes were fur. tailed, and begged the merchants of Ogend, or any others, wild uld have claims to offer na this ac count, to addref. them to him, k ..omiling immedi ately to fati4 their demands.

Nov. 22..—80 n IFARS SA return from a journey is generally annnun, r.l by the firing of 5 guns ; but on his return from Boulogne he was faluted with 120 guns, which occaiv.ned a report, that, in addition to his fafe arrival in the Capital, fome important event had happened abroad, which could be nothing short of a fuccefsful bnding in England or Ireland : it was not until Lift night that the pablic WAS undeceived on this head. Count MARCOFF,. the Ruffian Ambafrador, has received the infignia of the Order of St. Andrew, and a very gracious token from his Imperial !stater, wherein he leaves it entirely to his own option whe• ther he will remain in France or return to Peterf burgh, and &rats him to wear the infignia of that Order, as loon as he than have received them.— Count MARILOFT went accordingly tail VsTednefday, when the Ruffian courier arrived who was the bearer of the EMPEROR'S letter, decorated with the blue ribband, in the evening, to the hotel of the Portu guefe Ambaffador, where all the Foreign Miniflers were affembled, and where, as the arrival of the Rut. fian Courier was not yet known, this unexpelted de coration produced very flrong fymptoms of amaze ment and furprize. Could any proof be wanting of the prefent difpofitionot AL EX A NOV R I. towards our Government, the manner in which he has thus lane tinned MARRO/et cisndirti, in his famous interview with Bort•rears, would be niolt convincing evidence of his caring but very little for the prefervation of a good understanding with the Cabinet of St. Cloud.— Our apprehentions on this head are still increafed by a report, which is current in our diplomatic circles, that Count MARKOFF is to return to Ruffia by the way of England, to fucceed Count Woaoszorr, the prefent Premier, who has given in his resignation on account of his precarious State of health. The molt friendly underllanding teems alfo to be eflahlifhed between Ruflia, Pr., Ilia, and Außria,which renders our Government the more uneafy, as the Ottoman Porte is approaching fall to its diffolution; and fears are, therefore, entertained, that the three great Northern Powers have concerted a plan of par tinning among them the European poffeffions of the Grand Signior, as they did Poland. As the Englifh, with content of the Beys, are at prefent matters of Egypt, we should, by such a partition treaty, be en tirely (hut ont from the Levant.
