Stuart, anchored in the road of Tray*. rnunde. He permits all vessels to sail out and in ward, and contents himself with making the IMAM tern of the vessels come on board the frigate. He informed Capt. Plessentin, who has arrived from Riga. that he has no orders to treat the Lubeck shi,,s as enemies, but was merely direded to block ade the Danish ports.

We hastened to inform you, that, vouchsafing to attend to our washes, Providence delivered the Govern meot of our provinces to his Majesty Frederic Au gu,tus, King of Saxony, the worthy °Wiping of our kings, a Monarch equally renowned, both for his private virtues, and public qualities. Being returned to this capital by virtue of his orders, we have to inform you, that in obedience to bis commands, we resume the course of our fundion, which we will continue until the establishment of the stable Go vernnsent that is preparing foe us l and that in the manner and with the same authority that His Ma jesty the Emperor of the French. King of Italy. con. 6ded it to us. At the same time we nave received. with a respeeful acknowledgment. this testimony of , enuideace white Out Sovereign Nowa) has given us, in permitting us to exercise the cove reign authority in his name ; and we propose in executing his orders to fulfil • duty sacred for every citizen, that of bearing, until the fixed period, the load of duties which is laid upon us. His Majesty has ordered two of our colleagues, M . Gutaskowski and Stanislaus Potocki, to re main about his person, for the purpose of giving him all necessary information upon the state of the na tion, and of our Duchy; and this, as he has been graciously pleased to declare himself, in order to acquire a profound knowledge of every thing that concerns us, before he assumes the reins of Govern ment, and thereby, to enable himself to satisfy the dearest wish of his heart, which is to contribute, as much as lies in his power, to the prosperity and hap piness of a nation, to whom he has always pre served the most sincere attachment, and who, on their side, have given him upon every occasion the most unequivocal testimonies of their entire devotion.— This conviction that His Majesty feels of our senti ments towards him, and the flattering certainty which hevouchsafes to give us of his benevolence, are the surest guarantee of our future happiness. After experiencing so many huroilitiationsand misfortunes, under a foreign despotism, the powerful and gener ous proteCtion of Napoleon the Great, at length restores us to existence, and this breath of life with which he has just teanimattd our body politic, • will become the source of the lasting prosperity, which the God of our Fathers had de: gtied for us in his eternal decrees. He has given u. the first pledge of it, by appointing for our Sovereign a Monarch who is venerated by the happy inhabitants of the borders of the Elbe, and whom all biher a do s will doebtle.s civy us. Under his wise and ben.. Lent Government, the Polander will b, able to display in all his enterprises, that unalterable firm ness, of which our ancestors have left us so many examples, that harmony, that constant agreement of hearts and minds, which the first of Heron has re commended to us, that manly courage which makes one support with constancy transitory evils,and which can alone render us worthy of attaining the glorious end which we propose to ourselves, the national feli city; in fine, that unanimity of views and labours which all will have for their objeet, the general good and prosperity of the nation. It is thus that we shall be able to eternise both the celebrity of the age is which we shall have lived, and the happiness of fu ture generations.

The fullowi.ig is *neural:— the revolution which has just been effected here, safer from being finished, seems to recommence with the most terrible symptoms. Almost all Asia refuses to acknowledge the new Sultan Mustapha. On every side is reared the standard of rebellion. Cidi Bascia, the brother-in-law of Sultan Selim, having assembled all the disbanded tr. who formed part of the Nizami-redid, menaces the capital.— Cossan Oglou, Kara Osman, and Jossof Aga, have likewise assembled a great number of mal-contents, and arc marching in a•ms to Constantinople. The number of the rebels amounts, it is said, to near 100,0 ,O. They have seized and carried off to their :amp the Dervise and the Patriarch of Cogni, the pretended des:endant of Mahomet, the only person who caa gird on the scimetar of the Grand Signor, and proclaim him the legitimate Sovereign. Three thousand cavalry have deserted during the night from the capital, and passed over to Asia, to join the rebels. We are at length on the eve of witness ing thi most tremendous scenes. It is to be feared, that the Sultan Selim will perish by command of the present Sultana Valid., in which case we may look tor the effusion of rivers of blood." VINICZ. AUG. 20.
