-,,..,..7 ur - - P_IIN. flll FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE 24, Hi FROM THE MAPRID GAZETTE. " On the 224 and 23d of July, King Joscrit re ceived the Chiefs of the p'ala'ce, the Grandees of _ _ Spain; the... Presidents and Governors of the Council, and parsons of every class, who had the honour to present themselves to him.. He in, like mariner re. ceived the French and Spanish Generals and Officers. He spoke in so condescending a manner, as to gain the affections of all who approached him. He after wards read the dispatches of his Ministers, and gave audience on state Affairs. The proclamation of his Molest'', in the noble and. crowded city of Madrid, and in the city of Toledo, was to take place on the 25th- July ; and the ceremony was afterwards to be performed in the other towns of the kingdom,. Reli gious ceremonies were to follow.; illuminations for three nights were ordered on -the public entry. The Royal Council of Castile had ordered the new Con stitut;on to be circulated through the country, recom mending it to general adoption, with a panegyric on the moderation of the New KMI:, who had waved his universal right over the public revenues; by making the distinction between the revenue of the Crown and the revenue of the State. " On the '24th similar audiences were given. The Supreme Council of the Indies took the constitutional oath of fidelity ; and the President of that Council, the Marquis of BAJAHAR, pronounced an elegant , harangue on the occasion, adverting Co the indubitable signs of affection which the whole nation sheaved for his Majesty's perion. He enlarged on the advantages that Spain enjoyed by the accession of the new So- - vereign, in preserving their independence, without making the cessions that France before required, in the cession of the country from the Ebro to the Py rences, together with the free commerce of the In dies, which would henceforth be more beneficial to Spain, inasmuch as they would collect the fruits of it without any expence. His Majesty in Isis answer explained the importancesof obtaining by his beneficent intervention, the termination of the pre sent convulsions, with the advantage of being re lieved from the burthen •of maintaining foreign troops, and that of the establishment of the new Constitution, which promised so much good to the nation. His Majesty then adverted to the pleasure which the enemies of the Continent would take in the present discord, and the weakness the State would fall into in consequence, deriving thence a hope that the, should be able to separate the Indies from Spain. He therefore recom mended to the Council to redouble its exertions to; preserve the union of all the Spanish possessions— Eump an, American, and Asiatic. Those who 1 beard the discourse were struck with admiration cf his Majesty's eloquence, the suavity of his manner, the force of his reasoning, the extent of his knowledge and understanding, arid his majestic attitudes. It were to be wished that the whole Nation had had the pleasure and advantage of being present on the occa sion. After the audience, his Mfrsty held a Council with his Ministers, which lasted till :.even in the even ing, when his Majesty went in his carriage to Buen Ratiero, where he dined and remained in good health. The Magis.rates of ivladrid took infinite pains to con- I tradict a report, for some days current, that the gates I of the city were to be shut, •ind all the young men taken away to carry arms. His Majesty gave assn. rtuices that far from thitekin- , of a conscription, he re joked that the ciose coi.aection with the great mili tary power of France, render.:d it not necessary to have any military force but that of the present veteran army, and his Majesty looked forward to the time, when, secure in the affections of hissubjects, he would require no other protection. The Assembly of Ma gistrates then instructed the people to disregard all the ns of those who sought to disturb them, and to confide in the wisdom and benticence of the Go. vernment." To-day a,n English flag of truce arrived in our harbcur, which was, however, turned away without the dispatches being read, and with answer, that no direct cummunication would be admitted with Eng. land to treat, except with the concurrence of Frarce. A hope, however, is entertained that peace between the IN rte and Russia may soon be effected by the me diation of France. We flatter ourselves that then the Russian troops, though they are now continually receiving reinforcements, will evacuate Moldavia and Wallachia. The Emperor Napoleon has written a letter to the Grand Seignior with his own hand, in which he re sews the assurance of his friendship. The pa sage through Wallachia is now perfectly se cure ; and a number of transports, especially of wool, pass hrough it into Germany. The commodities put chased on French account pay no toll on leasing Wallachia. NAPLES, JUNE 23. Our affliction on the departure of crtr Monarch, says the .I:onitore, published here, was only alleviated by he h'pe of his speedy return. Now is our sorrow boundless, when we find ourselves for ever separated frcm a King, who, even in ghe :ime of war, and amid the incessant attacks of a faithless enemy, has, in a I, short time, by a wise ainilnistnition, laid the founda. tion of our happiness. In thi , _eparafion of a father from his ..i tw7 great refizctions, however, consfcrt ps—the first is, that King Joseph, who is cafe) tt a bightr destinatic n, to the Government of anc.ther great kingdcm, willnot cease to cast a !ette volent glance o us, and to approve and answer our benedictions. The .•.hcr is, that Napoleon the Great who made us so Fr CCI 3US a present, knows well how to comfort and indemnify us fir cur loss. SAYONVE, JUNP. AccordinF to acccunts from Spain, tranquillity is perfectly restored in the districts of Segovia, Vela dolid, ana V,Uentia. The part of Arragon and Na vane, which lies on the right bank of the Ebro, has returr.ed to obed'er.ce, and peace is restored. The List accounts N%hich the Junta reccivcd, as well from Cadiz, as from the camp before Ciuraltar, are perie , tly sati , ractory—every where the captains ge neral .he aucicusips, - the coiregidors, the akalclcE, short, the %Owl, wtll :nfouncd past of the. tuotipni mantles, the beet disposition imaginable, and in the • districts where disturbances prevail, 'they are merely among the lower ciders of the people, who take ad vantage of the inVerregnum to commit the greatest excesses. VIFNNA, JULY 22. Our Court Gazette of this day contains the follow ing important intelligence from Turkey The army of the Grand Vizier, which has been joined from time to time by numerous divisions of troops from Asia, has now advanced from Adrian ople to Sophia. The Russian Colonel Becklemischew has returned from Conitantinople to the head guar , ters of the Commander in Chief, the Field Marshal Prince Proserofsky. The Russian army, considerably reinforced, occupies several camps along die Danube. The Turkish fortresses are well provided with every i kind of supplies, and every exertion is making to Istrengthen them with new wurks. Within a few weeks the British squadrons have again covered the Archipelago, and all trade by sea is in consequence entirely stopped. The Porte has therefore strengthened the garrisons of Lemnos and Iv4tilene. The_Nazir of the Dardanelles has been deposed, and obliged to descend to the subordinate place cf Celebi Effendi. In his stead the chief com mand of these important Castles has been given to Zarabane Emini. . The late commotions have had no further conse quences. Both the Sofres - and the Tabiafis, the sol diers in garrison at the Castles of the Dar4inelles,and the Janissaries, have been perfectly 'quiet since the ex. Amnion of the ringleaders and. the arrest of others. LONDON. TLTESDAY, AUGUST 23. PRiCr. OF STOCKS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK Consols, money, 6(4 66—for acc. 66 661 —Reduced 661. onmium g to 1 eis.

We stop the press to state that Government have th;s moment received accounts from the Baltic, anr.cuncing, that Ten Thousand Spanish Troops that were in the island of Funen, have got to another island (Langland) in the Great Belt, out of gun-shot of the enemy—and transports are preparing by our Admiral to bring them off. The following is the Bulletin circulated among the friends of ,Administration, on this occasion : " ADMIRALTY, AUGUST 23, MS. Two o'Clock. " A Telegraphic Message h just arrived from 44 Yarmouth, announcing gig several Thousand Spa " nish Troops that were in the Danish Islands, have 4 4 surrendered to Admiral KEATES, and are now in 44 our possession in the Island of Langland, in the " Great Belt." A Mail fi on Heligoland arrived this day. A pas senger by the packet, and who had just left Ham burgh, mer.tions a retort current there at the time he came away, that the Russian fleet in the Tagus had surrendered to Sir CHARLES COTTON. We need hardly add, that this can be nothing bui an echo of a similar report circulated in LOndon some time ago. From the French, Dutch, and Hamburgh Papers, received yesterday, we have given some further ex tracts in the preceding columns. We have also given an extract from the Madrid Gazette : it is prior in date to the flight of JOszru, but not the less amusing on that account. SURRENDER OF TRANQUE BAR: The following letter from an Officer belonging to the 14th Regiment, re:-.ched us -this morning. We need hardly add that this Danish settlement is situ ated on this side the Ganges, on the Coast of Coro mandel, about 144) miles S. of Fort St. George : " TRANQUEBAR, FEB. 19, 1805. " We embarked oii the 10th instant at Madras, on board his Majesty's ship RUSSELL, and sailed at day break the following morning. On the afternoon of the 12th K e reached our destination, the month of the river Caveri, off the town of Tranquebar. The place was immediately summoned, and Articles of Capitulation were signed at 10 P. M between Colo nel WatsoN and Capt CAULFIELD, on the part of the British, and the Deputy Govenor on the part of the I.Danes. t , The flank companies of our regiment took pos session of the place on the'morning of the 13th. Bnt as the outward bound fleet under Admiral DRUItY appeared off kere as we were landing, we expect to be Immediately relieved, and to proceed to Calcutta." We have received New-Yee: Pap:!rs to the Ath ult. The Osage, with Mr. Lungs nn boars!, arrived from Europe at New 'T•rk en the stlt. He is said to have broughtfrornEoNAPAßTE a MC st peremptory and ins( lent rt fttsal to depart in the smallest iota from his decrees against neutrals. On the other hand, the dis patches brought by the Osage from this country, are said to be of a conciliatory nature. Mr. ERSKINF. immediately set off along - with Mr. I..A..wts for Wash gton,where negociations commenced ; and, from the . Secretaries at War and of the Navy having been also sent lor, it is thought by the .Arnetican Politicians that a war is about to be declared against France. Permission has been granted for vessels to trade between America and the West . Indies, until further arrangements. • By the arrivals from the riavannah, at New York, it d ces not appear that the Spanish settlers there were EDINBURGH, AUGUST 20. . . acquaintal with the recent counter-revolutions in Spain. The last dispatches only carried out an ac count of the resignation of old King CRARLIA in. fa. tour of Prince FERDINAND, which' excited great joy among the Spanish inhabitants of the Havannah. Accounts had reached New York from Madeisa, of the rising of the Spanish and Portuguese pa triots, against the BoNAratcres ; but this intelligence seems to have been discredited in. America. .The Officer who arrived from the Baltic, (as men. tinned in our last), did not land at Leith, but at Eye mouth, and immediately set off for London. The Spanish troops, who had corresponded with Sir JAmzs SALMAREE, were in the island of Funen, one of the Danish islands in the Baltic. Thursday, the 18th instant, a Court Martial was held on board his Majesty's ship TARTAR ) in Leith Roads, for the trial of Mr. JOHN NEIL, Master of his Majesty's ship Aambrr, on charges exhibited against him by Lieutenant GEORGE PECK, First Lieutenant of the same ship, for drunkenness, disobedience of or ders, contemptuous behaviour to him ; which charges being clearly proved, the Court adjudged the said Mr. Joins Nen to be dismissed his Majesty's naval service.
