And brie it may I be remit:lced. that both the Sultans, who so zeal ously encouraged this institution, suffered by popu lar insurreffion. The printing was carried on in the extensive barracks at Scutari; these barracks were at the same time the residence of the newly or- *united troops of the Ernperer, and were first +' stormed by the insurgent Janis s aries.

The whole number of the marine corps, princi pally consisting of German recruits. which have gone over to the enemy, is 1017. The report which has been in circulation here, that Hessen haJ declared war against Lngland and - Sweden, is not confirmed. Tte saw Holm has been left by the English in a situation suitable to their whole conduit. The greater part of the bridges are either entirely de juded or left in ruins ; the pumps are destoyed, the eaguw-bouses pulled down, aad the fragments • • • of the broken engines seattercd about the ground. A part of the mortals and cannons that were there, with the balls suited to them, have, inctensi, been left belfend, but the furnaces for the heating of the eed-hot balls have been sn much damaged, that they are almost entirely tinder water. They dressed their vieuals in the royal pavilion there, and made a building adjoining to it for a stable, fur sixty Zealand horses, which were left loose. The ship of war which was on the stocks there, and nearly ready h.r launching, they threw down and tore to pieces, Ey the aid of machines and horses. The building used Ent quarantine, on the long line of the Castle, from the time of the capitulation, was in the hands of the English. After their d .parture, the ehsors, windows, wainscotting, chimneys, chairs, and every article of furttiture, were found tither wanting or entirely destroyed. At the main guard of the Holm they made rich seizures ; there was there an elegant service of plate I:sr the use of the marine Officers on guard, which the naval Officers of any other nation would surely not have considered as ine:uded in a capitulation, that surtendeied the ships and naval stores.

Ste. dated nitne of Waits Mood, May H. 1817. Your Excellency has, ere now. received ore of my letters rvspeaing the capture of four prises out of Batavia Roads. Off Cheribon, a little to the Eastward of Batavia, on the 15th April, we chased. and brought to, three prows, under Dutch colours. At Sp. m. on its falling calm, anchored our boats, and sent them armed to bring the prows alongside. Two were brought on the Larboard side, the other hung on the qoarter ; got the prisoners out of the two alcng side (amounting to now 128) and placid a strong guard over thrill, under the chreaion of Lieutenant Weroyss. as I intended seadiog th em away after overhauling their cargoes. Lieut. Parsons had been on board the prow, on the quarter, but retained with his people. on finding it irnprailicable to get the crew from below. I in stantly ordered her to be hauled close up under the quarter, fired a carroaade into her, and musquery, which they returned by throwing spears and bring pistols, &c. got a gun out of the stern-pmts, and fired into her, the sparks of which most unfor tunately reached some powder (which must have been carelessly handed out of scene of the prow,,) abaft, and blew the after part of she ship up At this alarming moment. the guard over the prisoners drept their arms, and ran to extinguish the fire. The prisoners instantly seised their arms, and picked up several spears and knives which had been thrown on hoard, and attacked the ship. By this time (8 p the fire most providentially, by great exertions of ollicers and men, was got tender, prow cut adrift, and the attention of all hands direaed to the defence of the ship. which was admirably per formed ; for in little more titan half an hour, So of them lty dead in a most mangled state, the rest dri ven overboard ; but sorry tern 1 to add, not without a severe loss on oar side, maluding those blown overhoaid, arid those who have since died of their wounds ; a list of whom I herewith enclose for your Excellency's satistactem.

THE BRITISH PRESS. LONDON, TUESDAY, liictwaeu 1. Mr KUNTZ, the AuColas Messenger, who ar rived in the Fiore fin of truce, from Calais, lett London on Sattrrday afternoon with dispatches from the Austrian Ambassador here to the Austrian Ambassador at Pais, end onsbuked about eight o'clock on Sunday morning at Dover, on board the iiistabob gig of truce, fur Calais. As the wind was favourable, he probably reached the French coast about twelve. The Eleu lra had been several days in Dover Roads, waiting his arrival. Mr. Manors was escorted on bowl the vessel by Mr. M•NTet, the agent for prisoners at Dover. His dispatches are understood to be in answer to those which he brought over, and if they had re lated solely to Austria, and .France was not inte rested in them, that Power never would have granted the facility of communication afforded by a gag of truce dire 6 from Calais to Dover. This idea, it now appears, produced the rise in the funds on Saturday. It is rumourea, that another flag of truce mg be err.ifled from France, sooa after Mr. Mums has reschad Paris. The (Rory, of 99 tuns, Captain (now Rear-Ad nairal) °Tway, arrived at the Motherbank, on Sa turday, from the /:et off Cadiz, in twenty-toer days. • She is ttndet quarantine. The Br/mark, 74, Hox..

The Rey, size 74, Sir Je.ssu Go IE, is at Gib raltar, refitting. The five French line-of-battle ships at Cadiz, are ready for Sea. It is espeeled they will make •prort out, whenever an opportunity offers. Lisbon is be lieved to be their destination. The Spanish ships, consisting of seven sail of the line, are, apyarently, ready for sea ; but are said to be very short of men. The Glory experienced very severe gales on her pas sage. By the Glory, we have been put ie possession of another J 111,100115 circumstance attaching to the Kos. slant, that lately put inti the Tagus. This squadron, consisting of seven sail of the line and two frigates, Passed the Straights on the 19th salt.; a frigate that stopped at Gibraltar a 1e hours, took great pains to have it understood, that they were coming to Portsmouth to winter : she even applied to Sir Haw DALavYPLc for Channel Fslots. This appears to have been merely • feint. We find also that part of the Russian asst put into the Tagus on the 9h. and part ea the flth of November, being a passage of from 20 to 22 days, from Gibraltar to Lisboa. Did they take a wide sweep into the Atlantic to avoid our fleet off Cadiz? The length of the passage favours this suspicion. We have received the Hamburgh Correspotdestas of the 7th list. It contains an article on the state of printing in Turkey, and an account of the state in which the Dock-yard of Copenhagen was left by nor forces. The number of the marine corps that deserted to the English, is estimated at 1,017. They are said to be chiefly Germans. Sir S. Hoon's squadron. which sailed on Thurs day evening from Ss Helen's, arrived on Saturday at Pl, mouth. It found there the Shannon. 'Vei t-m*lw, and Seem* frigates, which it it supposed will form part of the expedition. These frigates had received on board a great number of fiat-bottomed boats. and s t others were ready for shippirm,— General BERESIOIID, Commander-in-Chief; Colonel Darters°, Deputy Qoatter-Master-General ; &stir- Aajor Mu", r ; Dr. Moncwooo, Physician to the Army; Mr. Engem:is, Purveyor to the forces ; and several of the Medical Staff, accom palsied Sir S. Homo from Plymouth in the Cr 'item. transport, with medical storm, is ordered to pro feed immediately for Plymouth, to join the expedi tion, the objed or whichlts now said to be Madeira. .....emenweessmerme Mr. Meaner is arrived in town from Helsing horg. his mission to conciliate the Danes having failed. A letter was received yesterday, at Lloyd's, dated Edinburgh, Nov. 26, which says, .4 Arrived, in Smith Roads, the Royal George Excise cutter, from t-ef Copenhagen. She sailed with a convoy on the tild tilt. for the Baltic; but, in consequence of an miler from the Captain of His Masasr e's ship Vaaarard, she has returned." We are assured, that when the Russian 11:2•et ap peared off the Tagus they were 'opposed to be Su .' tish, and orders were issued to the batteries to resit the enemy ! They entered, however. as Russians, without obstruction, in three divisions, amounting together to sties sail of the line and two frigates. - ' It has been said, that Lisbon, being a neutral port, Ciinot under blockade, the English Goveiament d no right to prevent the entrance of the Rus sians into the Tagus. This, we believe, is not the fat. The conduct of the Russians was a violation of the terms of the Portuguese neutrality, by which Portugal engaged not to admit mote than xis sail of the line. Another Expedition, and of considerable magni [Ude, w.ll shortly sail from Portsmouth. Upwards of 1.4‘) transports are collated there for the pur pose, and an order was received on Friday for the yd. 4th, lith, and &h hitt:Jinns of the line of the King's German Legion, and the SU 30th. and 82d regiments, to be ready for foreign service. Ate Gorman Legion were under orders to disesn• bark and march into Sussex: the 4th battalion had reached Lewes. where they were to have been sta tioned. They have returned to Portsmouth. and were to embark again yesterday said this day. The other regiments mentioned arrived there in the coarse of the week, and the 2d Somerset have marched to Salisbury ; the East Kent and West Essex Militias. to Stockbridge and Runssey ; and the 3d Lanca shire Regimeat to Winchester. to make room for them.
