One of our journals has published the following l ett er, written by Mr. Adair to Sir Francis Warry, English Consul at Smyrna. His Majesty having granted me permission to return to England, I inform you that, unless unfore seen events detain me, my intention is to quit Con stantinople. I would have carried that into execution some time ago, if I had not remarked that peace be tween Austria and France, and particularly that' ar ticle of the treaty which extends the limits of France to the Saave, had revived in our Enemies the hope of bringing about a rupture between the Porte and Great Fiitain. Many persons believed this ; in respect to myself, i never had the least inquietude upon the subject—full of confidence in the Porte to fulfil its en gagements. I nevertheless thought that it was not proper to remove from my post at a moment in which difficulties appeared to arise from fear that a sudden distraction might confirm the reports which were spread respecting the pretended misunderstanding between England and the Porte. The effects have completely answered my hopes. Our amicable rela tions with the Porte have not in the least degree been interrupted. Under these circumstances I quit the legation without any inquietude respecting the dura: tion of peace, being convinced that this powerful em pire is completely decided to maintainits independence, to scrupulously fulfil its engagements, and to employ for this purpose all its resources." SCHWERIN, AUGUST 1. Our Gazette of to-day contains the following Edict: Whereas instances have shewn , that the North American Ei; is wrongfully made use of by the English to import prohibited goods, and elude the well-known me:wures pursued by the Impe nd french Government, to prevent the illicit trade in , - )lonial produce, which for a considerable time has nor been shipped off i from any port in North America. Therefore, we hereby direct, qat no American ships tiball henceforth be admitted in arty port car dominions, and the Military Committees in Rostock and Wismar are charged to watch over the punctual execution of this Order. " FREDERICK FRANCIS... Doberan, 29ch July, 1810." AUGSBURGH, JULY 47. Its late Swedish Majesty has left Switzerland.— Before his departtire from the banks of the Rhine he was anziou.; to have an interview with her late Ma jesty. It took place at Shaff hausen on the 23d in stant, whither King Gustavus proceeded, attended only by two persons. The Queen was accompanied by her mother, the Dowager Margravine of Baden, vho assumed the name .of the Countess of Wagen helm. Gustavus Adolphus continues to bear the name of Count Gottorp. He proceeded from Schaff hausen to Constance, and from thence to Augsburgh, by the way of Memmingen. He left this yestercray for Franconia. It is said, that he will proceed to the baths of Toplitz in Bohemia. VIENNA, JULY 21. Several mercantile houses in Bucharest and Orsowa have received letters which confirm the news of the bi.-,o(ly battle, which lasted sixteen hours, between the army of the Grand . Vizier and that of the Russians, at four leagues distance from Schumla. The Turkish cavalry, commanded by English officers, decided the victory. There is every appearance that the Russian army will again retire towards the Danube. TEMESWAR, JULY 13. According to late letters from Belgrade the pre tended defeat of the Russians was not so great as at fir , t said. It appears, in reality, that the Turks having received a reinforcement of cavalry, routed a party of Russian infantry ; but the latter, supported by a corps of fresh troops, preset ved its artillery and bag• gage. It is added, that the head-quarters of the Rus• sians were at Beyauk-Kaslichasha, beyond Mount litmus, and that a single complete victory will open to the Russians the road to Constantinople. CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE 8. At length Mr. Adair, the English Ambassador, Lad his audience of leave of the Caimacan Pacha on Monday last. He presented, as British Charge d'Af faires, and to fill his situation during his absence, Mr. Canning, Secretary of Legation. The Pachn, accor ding to the usual practice, presented some beautiful pelisses to the gentlemen of the embassy, and a very valuable snuff-box to Mr. Adair. Some Russian vessels having been seen on the coast . cetween Warna and the mouths of the Danube, the Captain Pacha. it is supposed, will immediately eater the Black Sea with his squadron in search of them. More than 80 vessels laden with corn a*d flour en tered the port of Constantinople the day before yester day, for the supply of the Imperial magazines. There is every appearance of a fine harvest, as well 'n Asia as Romelia. SPAIN. PRIVATE LE TTERS...." GIBRALTAR, JULY 441 --- " The French troops are slid to have been attack ednear Seville, by Ballasteros. The man who brings this information states, that he was in that neighbour hood. fo r fi ve d a ys, during which the Spanish corps incessantly attacked the French. When he came away the action still continued : upwards of 100 men of the French troops had come in wounded. Other accounts corroborate this statement ; and add, that the French have made such dispositions, as indicate anintention to retreat from Cadiz and Seville." ~ CADIZ, JULY Is. get in the teat otthe French, ire at and about Alp. zirat.

An English brig Was taken by a French privateer r a few days since, at the entrance of Cadiz harbour. She bore up and ran on shore under the protection of ir the battery of Santa Catalina ; and, although the boats' of the English squadron boarded her instantly, she could not be got off till many hours had expired ; but no lives were lost. The First Lieu tenant of the Eagle, who gallantly boarded her, was slightly wounded . - The vessel had no cargo on board, nor is she of much value.

The NIMROD cutter, from Corunna, has arrived at Plymouth after a short passage, having left Corunna on the evening of the 12th instant, at which time there were lying there and cruizing off the coast the Arethusa, Amazon, Dryad, Medusa, and Narcissus, frigates. The accounts brought by the NIMROD are interest ing. On the sth instant, the marines from the AMA ZON and the NARCIS: us, were again landed, and being joined by a small party of Spaniards, *tacked a post et the enemy's near St. Antonio, defpided by 150 men, whom they defeated, with the loss of two killed, two wounded, and four prisoners. On the 7th, our small party again attacked and defeated the enemy with the loss of 44 killed and wounded, and 90 prisoners. Thirty pieces of can non, of different calibres, were also destroyed on this occasion. But, unfortunately, the enemy receiving a considerable accession of strength, our little party could not maintain their footing. They returned, however, without sustaining any serious loss. These kind of skirmishes, trifling as they may ap pear, prove a serious annoyance to the enemy, and to us. it appears highly desirable that the advantage which we enjoy by our maritime superiority, of being able to transport our men from one part of the coast to another, and thus to harass the enemy, should be frequently resorted to. The accounts which have reached us convince us, that but for the diversions created by our shipping, on different points of the coast, the enemy would long since have been in pos -1 session of the whole province. The NIMROD brought over Captain LISHMAN, of the Marianne ketch, of London, his wife, and five seamen. The Marianne was laden with iron, and unfortunately foundered in the Western Ocean, on the 27th ultimo. The Captain, his wife, and crew, saved themselves in the boat, and after being two days and a night at the mercy of the waves, with a very scanty allowance of bread and water, they had the good fortune to reach Cape Ortega', and from thende proceeded to Corunna. While there, on the 10th instant, Captain LISHMAN made a protest before the British Consul relative to the loss of his vessel. But the most important intelligence brought by the NIMROD relates to a battle. reported to have been fought between the French and the combined British and Portuguese armies. This report, stated in let ters from Portugal, reached Corunna on the 10th in stant, but the particulars are not mentioned with any kind of precision. All that we can collect from the accounts before us is, that a battle was fought on the 7th instant, which was obstinately contested for some time, and termi nated in favour of the British t who remained masters of the field. Our loss is said to have been very severe, but that of the enemy considerably greater. Such are the accounts that have reached us from the port at which the NIP4ROD has arrived. A few hours will probably ascertain what credit may be due to them. It is our duty to state the rumour as it has reached us, and only as a rumour do we state it ! No accounts of this kind have been received by Government. " Matagorda is in the same ruinous state as before described, and cannot be occupied by the enemy ; hut the French batteries on the Trocadero are very stong ; they make regular attacks upon the Puntales (the opposite shore, leading to Cadiz), but without making any impression upon it. The immense works that are throwing up at Isla, will make Cadiz, I think, Impregnable. t 'fere it not that we see batteries of great strength raising on the side of the enemy, one would be induced to suppose that they would very 4on take their departure, as they appear not to have the smallest chance of ever obtaining possession of this city. On the 14th inst. the bomb•ships Etna, Thunder, Devastation, and Hound, with twelve gun and mortar boats, and ten howitzer-boats, proceeded to attack Catalina, at day-light. The enemy's guns were soon silenced, but, I believe, that little damage has been done to the fort ; they ceased firing at eight o'clock,. General Lacey's troops, who left Cadia to t‘pie, whet. reintorebilents ate eOliebtenti and that several fortresses on the Danube hit* fallen into the hands of the Italians ; but those of the greatest con setitienee are still in the hands of the Terks,and, if We may credit acconnti from Vienna of the 21st ult. the Russians have Sustained a signal defeat in the neigh bourhood of Schulma. The accounts alluded to state the conflict to have been Most sanguinary, and of 16 hours duration. The Turkish cavalry, commanded by English Officers, decided the victory, which is al lowed on all hands to have been milt complete. One account says, that the Russians have been beaten in such a manner that it will be a long time before they can again act upon the offbnsive ; and all the effects of their late advantages in Bulgaria have been thus completely counteracted. Fresh disturbances have broken out in the Tyrol: The French Papers present some articles rather in teresting. The investment of Almeida is adverted to, but there is not the least allusion to the action by which it was preceded. We regret to find that the demolition of Fort Conception was imperfectly exe cuted. Two of the bastions only are said to have been damaged by the explosion, which the enemy mean to repair, and then occupy the work. The accounts which they present from Calabria are to the 22d ult. At that time no attempt had been made on Sicily, but they state that on the preceding day a vigorous attack was made by a considerable number of light armed vessels on MURAT'S flotilla.— The result is stated to have been unfavourable to us, but we know, from recent experience, how little re liance is to be placed in these Neapolitan accounts. This last affair, we should suppose, to be one of the hottest that has lately taken place on the coast of Ca labria. Some of our vessels drew so near the land, that their shot and shells fell close to the enemy's camp. The same accounts state, but without giving the date, that the garrison in the Island of Corfu lately received a reinforcement of fifteen hundred men, besides an ample supply of provisions, (our blockading squadron is also said to have retired before it) ; and that it has been ascertained by experiment, that shells thrown from batteries near Scilla will reach the opposite coast of Sicily. Perhaps the article most deserving attention in these Papers is a paragraph from Frankfort of the Ist inst. shewing, that notwithstanding the demand for troops to complete the conquest of Spain and Portugal, Bo- NAPARTE still attends to the progress of affairs in the North for the future submission of the Baltic Power. to his purpose. The Princess AMELIA is now so much recovered, that all her medical attendants have discontinued their visits, except Dr. Pore. The FISGARD frigate arrived yesterday at Yarmouth from Sir JAMES SAUMAR&Z, in the Baltic, with dis patches, which were immediately forwarded to town. A Cabinet Council was held on Saturday, at the Foreign Office. The subject of deliberation was sup posed to relate tO BONAPARTE'S late Decree. The Gazette of Saturday contains a notification, that necessary orders have been issued for the bloc kade of the Canal of Corfou, or in other words, the entrance of the Adriatic ea. Sir HOME POPHAM has taken the command of the VENERABLE. This distinguished Officer, it is said, is to command a force which is to be employed on the enemy's coast. S' %,J , sni., DUCKWORTH was sworn in Governor of Newfbundland, at St. John's, on the 24th ult. The Cog ET, Capt. MUDDLE, was to sail with a convoy fort Lisbon, about the middle of October. The BLACK JOKE, Lieutenant KENNEDY, has been taken by two large privateers, and carried into Al giers. She was charged with dispatches from Con stantinople, Malta, and with overland dispatches from India. A letter from Dover mentions the arrival of a flag of truce fromßoulogne, with dispatches which are sup posed to relate to the pending negotiations for an ex change of prisoners. Some rejoicings took place .along the French coast on Thursday on the occasion of the celebration of BONAPARTE'S birth-day. He is now in the 42d year of his age. The friends of those who are prisoners in France, would do well to take notice, that all letters should be directed " To the care of Mr. M'KENzIE, English commissioner for the exchange of British Prisoners, .Morlaix ;" by which they will go safe. The Commissioners of Sewers finally determined, on Friday, upon a plan for draining the estates north. ward of Hyde Park, through which a sewer of unu sual dimensions is to be carried by means of tunnelling. The Earl of MARCH, eldest son of the Duke of RICI;MOND, was present with LOIIIWELLINGTON on the height overlooking the Coa. Having used the ut most expedition, he arrived at the army just in time to be a spectator of the most glorious sight (as be writes). that imagination could conceive ; a small British and Portuguese force, from their discipline and steady courage, apparently invincible, slowly and regularly retiring to a bridge which communicated with their main army, and at the same time repelling the repeated attack of an almost overwhelming force of the enemy. The bridge once gained they there made their stand, and the utmost and long continued efforts of the enemy were insufficient to remove them.
