His Majesty has not teased to cuatide in the fidelity and good disposi ti in -of the Duke of Dalmatia ; and he has given him a fresh proof of his confidenee by appointing him Major-General of his army of Spain. Two Imperial Decrees wore published at Milan, on the 6th inst. one fitting the conscription for 18W, in the kingdom of Italy, at 11,400 me ; the other granting a full and free pardon to all dc. settees and refraetory conscripts in the said king.

" The General of Division Sortham had orders b march span Bunnies, Crespia, Fapinavera, Resitlu, itc. to make a movement no the enemy's rear, and to tarn them in all their I inlaid:ll)k positions.

The materials of building have been entirely destroyed. 46 The mercantile port has nut been injured ; there is only a boat at the entrance between the piers, which may with facility be drawn into the port. The same may be dune with an English brig, which is. very little damaged, and which remains near the Western I'ier, under the ram parts of the town. This is one of those boats to which the enemy set fire on the approach of the French flotilla. In different situations on the bank there are about 15 wrecks of boats. 44 The English division which IA before the French flotilla, cut away its cables on setting sail. I h.vo. ordered the pilots to sound the channels, and to raise the anchors and cables which the ene my had abandoned. " No vessels have been sunken in the dykes. The enemy intended to do this, but he was not allowed lime to accomplish his purpose. Two vessels laden with several kinds of artillery, have I been taken in the ports. A q'iantity of bullets that the enemy probably had uut time to remove, are now deposited here. 64 It is not possible at present to estimate the number of vessels the enemy lost, but by the wreci:s that arc visible every where, the loss must have been considerable. The boats we have employed have preserved every thing, and among the materials are some mots of ships of the lint•. Many bullies of men and horses arc floating on the coast.

DELFT, JAN. 9.—They are now very busily employed at Vienna in taking an accurate account of the inhabitants of each house, with respect to the time they have lived in that city, and the place' of their birth. It is reported that all foreigners who cannot give a good account of themselges, and the objects they are pUrsuing, will bps obliged to leave the city. We learn from Vienna, of she 10th of Docent. ber, that the English Squadron still continues to infest the shores of the Adriatic ; that au attempt to convey some oil from Apull'a to that capital in boats had failed, several of them having been takatt by the enem, anti that thus they were ulti. utately obliged to bring the whole over land.

The deposed Monarch has bade adieu to Sweden, and-is now on his route to Swit zerland, havi n g landed at Stralsund on the 4th. The intelligence from Constantinople is corro borated by other accounts, from all of which it appears that the Russians have been decidedly worsted during the campaign, and are even re ported to have requested an Armistice, which was refusal—this, however, is but report. The power and resources of the Ottonsap Empire have been more successfully called into action than might have been expectetl, after the long inacti. city and apparent decrepitude of the Ottoman Empire. - • The projects of IV tror.torr, with respect to Turkey, arc not yet developed. Whatever may he his decision, there can be little hope that the efforts which have hitherto enabled the Ottomans to resist Russia, will be adequate to the resistance of the combined strength of (Lamas suit Fraace. .•0111111i•mrs. Fats/cut Papers were recited kit night. rn the Monitcur of thalith instant, there Is a report of a French engineer, Adjutant Desousa, on the present state of the dock ) port, end .arsenal of Flushing, all of which,, that we so- lately completely destroyed, or rendered useless, it should seem, from this Report, can not only be very easily and quickly restored—but that even without expcnce. " The value of the• useful ar. 44 (Ida so obtained [that is, cannon, &c. &c. 44 thrown by us intu the dock and basin] will 44 pay the expellee of the labour, ancl even re. 64 pair the sluice, if his MAJESTY should think 64 fit that it should be restored." That N.trot.zom will so " think fly there can be no doubt, as the Island of Walcheren is re ported to have been already formally annexed to France. Somehow or other our destruction of arsenals and ships is ever incomplete. Of this the actual presence in action of French line-of-battle ships in the Mediterranean, that had been burnt at Tou lon, affords a memorable proof. The destruction too of the Canal near Ostend, 'by Sir Home PornAm, does not appear to have required more than three months, to restore it to its original state. If the Report of the French Engineer, Du. uounn,should be justified by the speedy restoration of the works of Flushing, we Labatt intreut the Geoticmeu who composed the Speech to enlighten the Public, by an explanation of that passage, whirl* states a hope, 46 that advantages materially ." affecting the security of his Majesty's dominions 46 .

In this account, it is added, that even the departure of Americans from Paris had boo , iuderdicted. Amidst such variety of reports and contradictions, it is impossible to place coUfidenCo in any rumour until it is authenticated. Mr. CALDWELL it reported to have been very roughly treated by the Deuanicrs, at Calais, who are asserted to have plundered him of almost every thing bat his dispatches.
