According to letters from Smyrna, all the vessels of the Isles of the Archipelago, destined for Con stantinople, have been obliged to put back by the Let of Admiral Siniavin. The ships from the coasts of the Black Sea, and the ports of Natolia, have in like manner been stopped by the Russian ships of war, whicii are cruising at the entrance of the Bosphorus. As, on the other hand, the English, who have landed at Alexandria, have laid an em. bargo on all Turkish vessels, the conssquence is, that the communication between Constantinople and the diff.:reot ports from which it derives its provisions, is for the present entirely interrupted.

From the Telegraph, of Alai 94. The popularity enjoyed by the Earl of Moira in Great Britain, is worthy of the most particular notice. It is the natural consequence of the high regard which the Earl has obtained by the wis dom of his speeches in Parliament, by his genero• Pry, and the splendour which surrcands him out of Parliament, by his talents and military acquirements, and lastly,by his illustrious descent. Lord Moira also possesses the merit of being an Irishman, a merit which the inhabitants of that Island do not treat with indifference. The Earl is descenaed by his mother, a Baroness Hungerford, from Henry De La Pole, Lord Montague, who was beheaded in 1538, because he had carried oa a correspondence with his brother Cardinal De La Pole. Her mother was Countess of Salisbury, daughter of George Doke of Clarence, (brother of Edward IV.) con• demised to death for having revolted against his brother ; he was a son of Richard Duke of York, who fell Pear Wakefield. in 1460, in the wars of the white and red rose. His mother, Ann, heiress of Lionel, Duke of Clarence, was married to Richard Duke of York, found guilty of a conspiracy, and beheaded in 1415, who was a son of Edmund Duke of York, fourth son of Edward 111. The houses of the Earl of Moira e intain a col leaion of portraits of his Mentions and Royal an cestors. That which has been attempted by some, to recover a throne du* to them, is no proof that the Earl of Moira will also one day eitdeavour to enforce his right to the throne- of England ; although this right would appear well founded, if, as Mr. ideraee Walpole has endeavoured to prove. the birth of Elizabeth (daughter of Edward IV. who transferred the claims of the House of York to the collateral line of Tudor. by her marriage with Henry VII.). was really illegitimate ; and if it be true. that Elizabeth Woodville was not the lawful Queen of Edwasd IV. because this Prince was already =allied with Eleanor Talbot, widow of Lord Butler, before he cohabited with Elizabeth Wood ville. AU this, however, affords reason to think, that in case the discontent of the Roman Catholics, Dissenters, and a large majority of the People, burdened with tams, and incessantly agitated by opposite opinions, the natural result of the frequent changes of Ministers, should one day force the English nation to expel the House of Hanover, (au thors of all the Continental wars, carried on at the expense of the People of England), it would be easy to find in the country a deseendant of William the Conqueror, worthy of tbe sceptre of the cele brated Edward. Far be it from us to contend, that such a thought ever entered the mind of the Earl of Moira ; but should the House of Hanover, in consequence of its Protestant fan.tticism, be compelled to renounce the English Throne, and should Great Britain, tired of Foreign Princes, then wish to place on her Throne, a descend tnt of Egbert, and of the great 111fred, would it be in the power of the Earl of Moira to counteraß or oppose the execution of that pri,jed ;;—(ffansbargh Correspond:n[4n, Jane G.)

Extra& of a Letter from Cape Francois, dated April 1, 1807—* , 1 he commerce of this country is much more shackled now than ever it was during the latter time of Dessalines' despotic reign. By a decree of Gt7n. Christorhe, the price of coffee, throughout his jarisdiaion, is fixed at twenty five sous, and it must be purc'aased from Go vernment only. The planters are not permit ted to dispose of it to individuals. Beef, pork, wine, oil, soap, gin, with several other articles un usually shipped to this country, are selling for less than they cost in America. In fact, Ido not see any thing short of rain stathg those in the face who are se wild as to adventure to this country in its present distraatd state. The coast has been clear of priva teers of late, and vessels dropping in every few days. Petion is much more favourable to commerce than the prtiy tyrant who commands here." THE BRITISH PRESS. LON DON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 17. A Messenger was sent off last night, from Lord CASTL far Ana', Office, with dispatches for the Commander of the. German Legion, w th ori , rs to sail from the Downs without delay. The Legion consists of about 17,000 men. The wh. le fore; to be employed in the Expedition, will amount to 40,000 men. The British troops will fellow the German Legion as soon as possible. There is to be a Brigade of Hussars, consisting of the 7th, or Lord Paerr's Regiment, the 10th or Prince of WAL If% and the 15th or Duke of CUICILaL AND'S. under the command of Lord Pacer. A &tech meat of the Kiso's Oan (Blues) it is said will form part of the cavalry. The whole force. we understand. will be at the disposal of the gallant King of Swans. Lora CATHC►ar is to be under ' the command of His SW/Lifilln MAJESTY. The Freding packet is arrived at Falmouth. with Mails from the Leeward Islands, in 2i Jays, from Tortola. The letters will be delivered out this day. We received, yesterday, New York papers to the 24th of May. The only article of intelligence, which they contain, is an extra! of a letter. dated Cape Francois, April Ist, which shews, that Cmcis- TOPItt and PLTIOIM enjoy a divided Empire in St. Domingo. A Tonningen Mail arrived yesterday, with letters and papers to the 7th instant. The head quarters of Bow AP Aura still continued at Finken stein on the 28th May. The grand battle, so • leen announced, and so often adjourned, was put oil far ther uutil the Bth or 10th instant. Weichselmunde and Fahrwasser surrendered to the French on the 27th, the day after the French troops entered Dant sic. The garrison of Dantzic is stated to have amounted only to 12,000 men. The terms of the surrender are not yet given at length; nor does the Berlin Paper mention any thing upon the subject— but Tire Breslar Casette asserts, that the capitula- lion is the same as that of Mentz. in the year 1793 . The latter was concluded on the I'.lltl July, 1793, and contained fourteen articles. The. garrison. under the command of Brigadier-General D'Ovcs, which marched out for France, with all military honours, engaged not to serve against the Coalesced Powers within twelve months. Neisse, after a vigorous defence, has offered to capitulate. The apprehensions of invasion gain ground in Holland, and the Dutch are returning home with all possible expedition from Hamburgh and Hano ver. The story of King Louts having eloped from his wife, and abdicated his throne, appears to have been a ridiculous fabrication. They are gone to gether to Bareges, a watering place, in the South of • France, ter the benefit of his health.—King Louis has been long an invalid. To leave his kingdom however, at such a critical moment, shews hint to be as poor in spirit, as be is feeble in constltution. A letter from Warsaw, dated May 27, announces the arrival of a Courier from Constantinople, with an account the. the English, who had landed a t Alexandria, have been entirely defeated by the Turks, and fired is re-eloberk. This account, we are sorry to say, is very prebable. Constantinople begins to suffer from a scarcity of provisions. The Russians from the Black Sea blockade the Bosphorus, whilst Admiral Si slay IN blockades the Dardanelles, and cuts off the com munication between Constantinople and those parts from whence that capital drew its supplies. The 13erlin Telegraph, the Paper established by the French in that city, for the purpose of propogating error and delusion, contains a curious article, tracing the genealogy of the Earl of Moi RA, with a view to prove that his Lordship has claims to the Crown of Zeeland. This article is, no doubt, from the we think to pass k over in studied silent would be to treat it as something serious. Whether the effu sion of folly or of malice. it cannot possibly do anf injury to His Maicsvv or to Lord Noma. Indeed it will be found more an antidote against, than an incentive to, ambition. Contempt is the . only sentiment which such ribaldry can eszitein a laritials mind.

Lod MELVILLE is again a Member of His Masmrs's Privy Council, and the transition to the head of the Treasury is supposed not distant. Oug!it Perlis. ment, can the country forget the declaration made by that Noble Lord in the House of CemosonW that be had expended tea thousand pounds of pubs , lie money, an account of which no pbwer on earth should wring from him f" We copied, yesterday, from a minor Treat .ry Print, an alleged Notice, from N'isc..ant H0%%.,ct. t 6 his Opposition Friends, apprising them of a divisor% in the House of Commons, at the meeting of rite new Parliament on Monday next. This notice‘ast been represented, in the Treasury Papers, as fratioat, premature, and unprecedented. We know nothir. of the Notice; but, presuming it to be authentic, re do think that it doss not merit this obloquy. It is not necesary to wait for the KIN o's Speech, in ordet to form an opinion of his present Ministers. Ths. dissolution of a new Parliament. the cry of • Popery," the Krac's last Speech, are all before the Public, and have never been discussed in Pitil2. ment. Besides, nothing constitutional can cure the defsfts in the original formation of the present Mi. alstry. Let His M AJISTY'S Speech, then, be what it may, here are ample grounds for an amendment% debate, and division. The melancholy disaster of our armies it Egypt has been eagerly seized upon, by the Treasury Journals, to divert the public stun* Lion from the result of the Yorkshire Medina, and the imbecility of their Y.roployers. While the particulars of that great calamity, though known to Ministers for several days, were cntelif withheld from us, their hireling prints were built employed in attempting to prejudice the public mind, and excite indignation against those who have triumphed over their arts, and exposed their pert. lations. It is not grief for our brave countrymen who have fallen in Egypt that excites those laborious effusions, in which their newspapers abound i bat the vain hope, that, by dwelling on that great and unexpe&ed disaster, they may efface from the public mind the result of their appeal to the sense of the people. Every day, until the meeting rf Parliament, they will attempt to agitate the public mind with this business. The following exrr.ia, from one of their Prints of last night, shews hew ingeniouly they can trifle with this actions disaster t " From General FitAgglell second letter, dated from on board the Canapes. there is no reason to suppose that in the second at:empt made against Rosette. our troops were able to reach that place- But a letter has been received from Messina , wh'ek states in suhssance that, upon the day ing the junn ion of General Seuaar with Ge.
