THE NATIONAL REGISTER. mark the sericubness and sincerity of the intentions with the execution of which a Minister may be charged. By the Anholt Mail received on Friday, we learn that the progress made by the Turks in Wallachia had induced General KUTUSOW to draw reinforcements from the Dniester, from the banks of the Knieper, and other parts of the Russian Empire, together with the reserve from Moldavia, with a view to de feat the designs of the GRAND VIZIEIt against Walla chia. One of these corps, consisting of 20,000 men, had been unexpectedly countermanded, and ordered to march back into Podolia. The obvious inference from this retrograde movement of a corps of troops previously supposed to be neces sary to give effect to the operations of the Rus sian Army against the Turks, is, that the state of the discussions with France indicated an ap proaching rupture, and that the corps counter manded would be necessary to support the Russian Army in Poland. A Mail was received from Heligoland on Fri. day, but it has brought only a melancholy ac count of the dismal effects of a violent gale, which came on after a dead calm on the preceding day, on the 20th ult. Three vessels were wrecked ; much damage was sustained by the houses on shore, and his Majesty's frigate Horatio narrowly and provi dentially escaped the fate of the vessels that were lost. For the particulars of this melancholy occur rence, we refer to the statement received by the Mail. We are sorry to learn, what we are unwilling to believe, that the contagious disease, which has been so long raging in Carthagena, has made its appearance in the crews of one or. more of the British ships of war- in the Mediterranean. A Letter from Malta, of the 18th September, states, that a serious insurrectionary disturbance had then lately taken place in Tunis, upwards of 1000 of the Tunissian troops had revolted, and were proceeding to the most wanton and barbarous ex cesses, when a British Midshipman put himself at the head of an adequate nainber of Arab troops, and, in a short time, restored perfect order and tranquillity. A Gentleman who has just arrived from Hum burgh brings information that the Westphalian Army consists of about 80,000 men, who are so disaffected to the present system, that they have frequently discovered a disposition. to • disobey the orders of their Officers, a circumstance which has considerably alarmed the Government, and in duced it to have recourse to the expedient of calling in of some auxiliary means to crush this rising dis position of the troops of Westphalia. We have the pleasure to state, that letters have been received at Plymouth from Captain HAWKER, Of the Melampus, which .had gone ashore on the coast of Nova Scotia, and was afterwards got off and towed to Quebec, dated the Ist of October from Quebec, which state that he was completely refitted from his damages, and was all ready fcr sea, and would sail on • the 6th of October from lialifaz i and thence for England. His Majesty's ship Menelaus, 38 ens, Captaici PETER PAItKF.R, with-Lord WILLIAM J3ENTINCK and suite, for Sicily, on board, has put into Falmouth, having met with contrary winds. Lord WILLIANI • and Lord i Ftitor.ateK. BFNTINCK, with Gen. WAR LANE, the Hon. Mr. LAUB, Colonel ACTON, Major Acovaii,hnd Mr. MARIAC, landed on Tuesday even ing at Wynne's Hotel. It is expected that the PRINCE REGENT will re. view the Ist battalion of the old 42d, or Royal Highlanders, before he returns to town . Th e i r gallant Colo Del, the Marquis of HuNTLY, is ax• pected from Scotland on the occasion. He is - now nearly quite recovered from his severe wounds re ceive d in Holland. It is reported that the embarkation of a brigade of cavalry, and of two brigades of infantry, in tended for Lord WELLINGTON'S Army, has been suspended for the present. Some General Officers and Staff intended for his Lordship are stopped for the present. It will be seen that the destination of one General Officer, General NPFARLANE, has been altered : he is gone to Sicily. The first division of the British Army in Portu gal, under the cunimand of .I.,ieut.-Gen. GEAu, ut. consists of the Ist battalion of the 26th, and the 42d and 79th regiments. Notwithstanding their late, reverses, the Catalo nians continue to Display the most ardent patriotism ; being in arms wherever they can provide themselvet with them. Baron D'Etiot.Es has . been appoint• ed Captain-General of the principality, in lieu of General LAcEx. Previous to this change, the body of men under the General's command, which by his last dispatch amounted only to 1100 men, had been increased to 3000. It was expected that the French Would turn their arms against Cardona, the strongest place left in the hands of the Patriots in that part of the Peninsula. Letters from Dublin mention a report that the five Catholic Deputies who were arrested on the Chief Justice's Warrant would be tried by the Commission now sitting in - Dublin—while Lord FINGAL and Mr. BARNWAI,I4 would he brought be. fore the King's Bench. The information is not yet filed against the Printers. They are doubtful before what 'cribunal they are to be arraigned, or in what f.)rrn. We copy the following paragraph from a con temporary print, without vouching for the cor. rectness of the statement : " There has been for some days the rumour of an offer of marriage by an illustious Duto: to the beautiful heiress Mill TYLNXY LONG. The gallant lover has paid his suit to the Lady with the magnificence and ardour of an English tar ; and it is said that he has proposed to apply to Parliament for a Bill to alter and amend the Royal Marriage Act, which the present state of all the dynasties of Europe would, perhaps, make it advisable to do. Certainly it would be a most promising means of securing the lineal succession of the Crown in the present august family." A ship, with a full cargo of Holland's gin, has arrived within these few days, which has caused very general conversation and dissatisfaction among the merchants in the City of London, as it was not known that a lieense for the importation of such an article had been granted.
