The Russian Generals endeavoured to raise a key en masse in. Moldavia and Wollachla, but the inks. Li:twits bliewed no Inclination to enter into it. _ . The plan of the Grand Vizier, Josef Pacha, nuns to be to harass and fatigue the Russian troops by daily sorties from his camp at Schumla, and to compel them at last, by the reinforcements that he is hourly receiving, to repass the Danube. His experieneing. an Officer is well known. It was he who, id the year 1788, so much annoyed the Aus. trian army undcrJosoph IL and who made an imp titos into the Bennet and Transylvania by the pass of Rotlto.Thorpas • s. • - I' AA NalrnitTs SEPT. 113.—1 t isstated in a German Japer, that on the Bth of Aegust.the Russians oh 4111'qt a complete victory over the.

RATiseoN, SEPT. 16.—An Ordeinance of his Bavarian Majesty, dated the 3d, bears, that the laws of conscription shall receive their full and 'en tire execution in the Principality and City of "Laths'. bon, as in the other districts of the kingdom. All native subjects of that Principality, in . the 'service of any foreign power, ire' ordered to cistern home within a year. .After this' pedal; they will be treated with all the rigour of the law. Tocas, SEPT. 12.—We have with plasters stein arrive here, the first battalion Of military arilfiCers of the marine, on their march from Spain to Ant. went: This troop, commanded by the Captain of the Artillery of Marine, Leabentiette, is the same that, under the orders of their brave Colonel Baste, Cuuut of the Empire, so much • distinguished itself, with the 44th flotilla battalioni in the kingdom of Castile, at the battle and capture of the town of Al. mazeu. The officers have been able to establish the most clines discipline in this Steep, and to second the bravery of the soldiers. ST: MAE°, SEPT. 14.—We have learnt that the privateer the S. Joseph, fitted out by M. Thomas, mayor of this town, havint Made three very rich prizei in an early part efits'etnite, fell all . at once into 'the midst of an eneitrylswittuadron, and only escaped by retiring speedi'Ff **ler the batteries of Isle of Ushant. The EngligiNhen thought only of retaking the merchants ships, which they saw mak. iug for land ; they came up . with two, and the third bating run aground, they also attempted to get possession of it ; but the crew, who hail received a reinforcement, made an Altitude resistance, and forced them to' sheer elf, With 4he loss of ten men killed. ,'vent day they retidukd to the charge, but werd not more successful.- A • third time, the English squadron sent all their boats to carry off this prize, cost what it would. The small garrison. of Ushant joined Mitt seamen • a destructive firevnn.:l meneed, and the English left in the isle of Ushant, where they had the audacity to land, 60 men killed on the spot, and 3 officers. The garrison had 5 men fkilliol, sod more wounded; acne of our seamen were killed , and only 5 wounded. • SMYRNA, Ann. iissointion, which the Grand Seignior has ink its' pot himself at the head of the army, Mid 'earth ggainist the etaemies of the Prophet, has roused in Mnstrilrnan Asia all the ardour of the early times of IsitlMism : enthusiam is at its highest pitch. The Pathas . have forgotten , theii rivalship, have renounced their pretensions,l and abjured their individdal animosities, to meet I only the common danger, and to combat under the standards of their menaced Faith. All the land holders, animated with the same zeal, furnish morel men and money than are required of them. The Isles of :the Archipelago, Cyprus, Mytilene, Crete, ltht des, &c. send eumerOus reinforcements to Con.' statitittople : a corps of Mainelukes from Egypt is expected In that capittl. The soldiers of Asia are less brave and less disci. pliaed than those of Europe ; but, roused by fella. ticisin, they may be successfully opposed to the light troops of Russia, whose discipline is by no means regulars In Asiatic Turkey there is suppos. eti to be a population of 10 teatime . , extended over 343;800 square miles of territory. Ruse, Seer. s.—An Imperial Pt:tree, of the 10th Aust, has ordered the repayment of the Debt o f the Roman States, the interest on which amounts to 41,500,030 francs. A. capital of go u alliolis in National Domains is appropriated for this repayment ; and this property is placed at the•diiiposal of an'Adtninistration, composed of one lkteztur, two Adjuncts, and a' Colsocil of SO Members, all creditors of the ei-dzrant Komi*, States; and to be presided over by the Intendant of the Treasury, for the departments of Rome and Trgsidiene.

Bisbee the commencement of his guvermnent, Ilse interest has been regularly paid, without any exception, and s ithout delay. This day his 31:►jesty has resolved to confer much greater advautages: with a single glance he has perceived the source of all the misfortupes of your cotpurv i and by our of those pro found thoughts which, prepare fur the future a change of man ners iu a whole people, his Majesty has made to arise from the very causes which produced and perpetuated your wants, a new source of riches. The public debt will serve to renovate pi °petty in the ltonsaa States; and in dividing the domains of the State among all the creditors of the old tiovernment, his Majesty vs ill at once restore their ancient fertility to lauds, at this day so neglected, which were cultivated by the triumphant hands of your ancestors. _ " This great operation is entrusted to you; and it is to your cares, it lito you, Gentlemen, who by the extent of your pro perty. have the greatest interest in its success, that his Majesty confides the fortune of so in iny families, and tite pledge of a repayment, which must have so happy an infictence. Go.ern ment will interfere in no other way, but by a wise superin- tendaixe; and in leaving to you the choice of the administrators of the property which it confides to you, it carries, to the higlse,t point, its guarantee of the public faith, and its respect for your rights." _ _ hANTZIC, SEPT 3.—They are restoring the forti ficatiutis of this place, which were very much da. inapt' by the last seige, in 1807. These works are carried on under the inspection of Freisch engineers. Many new works are added to the old. • AMSTEROAIIs SW!. 17....irery great activity pre. tails here in paying the duty of 50 per cent. on co lonial produce. The declarations already given in .cake the duty amount to 80 millious, without in. eluding the value of the English manufactures which bare' been °confiscated. The English will sustain a very considerable loss, for a great part of the co. lOW produce belonged to English commerce, and Mad bet* sent here on commission. • FIRANICTORT ) SEPr. 18.—Madame Blanchard, On the 16th, made her ascent in a balloon, which will long be - remembered. Having been delayed in the morning by the want of the necessary qaantity of vitriolic acid, it was already about seven in the evening, when the balloon would not rise. Alarmed lest she should disappoint the public, Madame Blanchard ordered the cords of her boat to be cut, and, in spite of the representations of all who sur. rounded her, she threw herself into the frail ma. chine amid universal acclamations: her ascent waft very fine, and impelled by a brisk wind from the northeast, the balloon was quickly carried out of sight ; but till her return, there was reason to fear lest she should be the victim of her courage, or ra ther her temerity. Happily, however, she returned to this city yesterday about four in the afternoon. She descended at nine in the evening in a wood near Steinfishbach, ten leagues from this place. VIENNA, Seder. B.—ln pursuance of the new organization, it is said that the infantry regiments will consist of 12 con,pauies of fusileera, and two of grenadiers, the forn.er 120 men each, and the latter 100. To each regiment will be attached two battalions of landwehr, in which will be placed the supernumerary officers. All the officers will receive one-third of their pay in money, and the two other thirds in bank-notes, at their current value. All the veterans will receive their discharge, and all foreign soldiers will be set at liberty, whether they have reached the close of their engagement or not. All foreigners of the rank of subalterns, who wish their discharge, will receive it immediately. In the cavalry one.fourth of the men will be discharged. It is calculated that these new arrangements will save the State ten millions of florins. SPdNISU divlD PORTUGUESE PdPERS. Leat Aight Irtt received Spanish papers to the 100, and Piitstetese. to the 16th ult. from which the following int extracts • . tissos, have had many arrests here during the last week of persons in various ranks of life, *ecclesiastics, nobles, merchants, and others, by government. The charges against them are not known, but their rank and numbers indicate a serious sod very extensive plot. Our army re._ mains in the same position as when I last wrote : it is reported that the enemy have shewn some inten. lion of making toward Badajos, yet other accounts make no mention of any movements of importance on either side. SEPT. 14.—N0 accounts of any interest relative to the armies, or the military operations, have been received. The armies continue to observe the mo tions of the enemy and the concurrence of circum stances conducive to fortunate undertakings. It is known that the insurrectionary movements arc ge. neral in all the provinces of Spain, and that all the Generals are In commission. The number of flying parties continually increases; discontent, through.' out every part of Spain, is general; the - ploceed.' jugs of the oppressors increase the number of their enemies, and the justice of the cause which the Pa triots defend redoubles the valour of the injured people. It may be said, without exaggeration, that the political animatiou of Spain against the enemy was never such as it is at present, Sur. 11.—We have nu news from the armies ; it appears that the French are cot in baste to ad.

ACCOUNTS OF TORTOSA. - " Jog. I.—A very brisk fire is kept up from the town. At seven o'clock tl.ts evening General O'DONNEL arrived at this place; his presence has greatly (increased the enthusiasm of the inhabitants, and damped the spirit of the enemy, who occupy' the environs.

At half-past seven a French officer arrived with a flag of truce. lie was conducted blindfolded to the council-house, where he delivered his dispatches, and received his Excellen. cy's answer.

Our affairs seem in a mellow choly condition every where. Sortie will say, this is the work of chance. Alas ! it is always thus with ignorant men—their affairs arc so combined, that no good can ever come out of them. FA L MOUTH, SEPT. 29.—The frahinghco; packet, ROBERTS, with mails from Lisbon, l S days passage, arrived here. The accounts brought by this vessel are really of a gloomy com plexion. Lord W ELLIN GTOI had discovered a correstsou deuce carrying on between a party in Portugal (many of whom are of the first families) and the enemy ; in consequence of which, the Regency had caused upwards of two hundred per sons to be arrested, a quantity of concealed arms, &e. had also been found. It was reported at Lisbon, that the disaffected party were to cause Lisbon to be fired in several places at once; and in the tumult, all the English, and those friendly to them, were to be butchered; this was to take place ut the same time that Masses A was to make a general-attack on Lord W's. army. Most happily the plot was discovered io good tiro.•. The persons arrested bad been embarked on board a vessel, and it is said, were to be sent to Goa, ou the coast of Africa. Nu bat!. tie bad taken place with the armies since the fall of Almeida ; and it was the general opinion that there would not be any fight log for the winter, but that MASSCK A would content himself with the captu:e of Oporto (to which, it is reported, no resis tance would be made by Lord W.) and take up his winter quarters there. With respect to business at Lisbon, every thing wasat a stand-still, not for want of goods to sell, or purchasers, but in consequence of the goods being locked up in the Custom house there, the India Company and Custom-house both claiming the right of dispatching the goods from the Custom. house ; so that, although the new treaty has been so long rati fred, the Portuguese Ittl;eitey had not yet come to any deter. urination respecting the Malan' Cli levying tbe ditty iraposed,44 15 per cent. to the mean time. the British merchant Is kept out of his money for God knows how long, or if he may ever get it; fur it is probable enough that the obstacles to the dispatch from' the Custom-house arises from some intrigue with the enemy,, who, if he succeeds in driving Lord Wilsas i tnincla to his ships, will get a gond booty : property to a very great amount Is swat* lying there, fur which a ready sale would be imusediateit found, if the goods could be regularly dispatched from tba Custom-house. • • .1 This morning arrived a Cadiz Mail. In s mal; (pent column, we have given a few retracts treat' the papers brought by this conveyance. These papers contain beside, two long articles, which we have no room to give--one, is n Proclamatiosissueti by Gen. O'Donatt., dated Torten; the 2d of Aug. and addressed to the inhabitants of tivat city. It is well written, and breathes a very noble spirit—the other is a letter from the Council of Monte Video, and the Board of Magislrates of the said City, to the Supreme Council of Regency at Cadiz, received by the schooner Discuburta, Don J. pt Bran.tn, of the Navy, commander, which...arrived from Monte Video in Si days.

We have a copy ofit Proclamation addressed by Jositiw BoNAPArtte, hiettself. King of Spain, to the' Spanish South Americans. It is a very singular production, if genuine; for it advises the Spanish colonies, in the case of their being unwilling to submit to JOSErII I B paterual:and just Government,. 4 4 to unite together all in a body, like good and Affectionate brothers, and to; declare themselve . free and independent of all the nation: in the world." To treat this seriously would be hull. crous! It would be ignorance of the course and influence of political events, to suppose that such a Proclamation was really issued, on the feeling in the French Emperor (who directs all such affairs) that it is better for him that Spanish America should be independent, than that England should have it. Me is a better politician. He knows, that Sduth America free, would be a mine of wealth to us; ;... ss bile, in our possession, it would be ruin t,, 4 ,1 We therefore treat this Paper as a fabrication, a n d stall out trouble our Readers with the perusal of it. We have given, in this da)'s Sr4res.wAx, an a r . count of the affairs of the late Mr. Got.o.w in, which may be deemed, in some degree, as ()fa c i a ll y put forth into the world. It gives occasion f or 4 vast variety of observations, fur yr hich we have little room. One or two, however, most not b o omitted, for any other object. An indiridual dies, and the Government feels a shock, as if it were a private person, whose whole fortun e was locked up in that indivdival's hands ! It hr is this? What has Government to (Li w it h rho death of an individual ? Oh ! the Public Boards have issued three or four hundred thousand pounds, in Exchequer Bills, to the individual, a n d he has not brought the money for them! Very ! that is a serious evil ! But is the loss of 400,000. (suppose it all gone) to shake the Government, or even to alarm it with ungovernable fears ? B it if so, how come the Public Boards alluded to, i n this account, how come they to part with dirir Exchequer Bills, except when they want money, in which case the Bills go into the market, a n d the produce is paid to the Board forthwith ? hit not plain, that if the transaction between the Boards and a Broker (n 9 matter whom) were a fair one, the Boards could not lose the imAic money, and get suddenly panic-struck by an iadiri. dual's death ? No doubt it is. And here we se e) how it is that men rise so suddenly and rapidly ) into a kind of princely greatness—it is by using the public money—it is out of the taxes paid by what, and at the capence of the distresses of others! b u t is high time that an end were put to all this. Let Merchants stand on their own strength, and give them only fair play, and they will get rich enough. But do not prop them, out atilt sighs and sufferings of others ! It seems, that the deceased intliti'ual had money of the India Company's tvo— three I,un. dred thousand pounds of, that ! Now the Company borrowed this very money of the nation. It skews no very great wisdom or 'providence in the Compa. 'ny's concerns, that they were obliged to ask the Minister, to ask Parliament, to lend time* a brie sum of money. But it shows them superlatively supine, when they had gut the nation's money, not to tAke care and use It only for their own relief.—i-r-Where was Ask iitsgek ? Where OAS Mr. RANDALL a.10100)Ns• (hat he did not . advise them better ? Ho is nut foolish, and eke :foolish, in all things; and if he did make an unwise ' speech at the Bant,he might have made somethiagof a tet-off by pathetically advising and entreating the India Company to keep the:money barrorivilfromific Nation, or use it only for their own relief.
