Among other reports, one is, that the Porte, at the approaching peace with Russia, will cede Mol davia and Bessarabia to Russia ; Albania, the Mo rea, and C ;,nslia, to Prance; and Wallachia, Bul garia, and Bosnia, to Austria ; which will, in return, make cessions on another side.—(4lforia Mercury, Oct. DANK! OW Tilt DANVIIt, OCT.O. The tottering Turkish Empire, singe the peace of filsit, seems to be placed in more precarious cir eumstarces than ever. The arrangements are not known which were made, relative to Turkey, by the two Emperors, at their interview ; but the results must soon be manifest to the world. The system adrpted by Sultan Salim, during the last years of his Government, of adkering entirely to France, and trjr!ling all other conneflions, has probably saved the Porte for some time ; but the detlars.ning of that Monarch has hastened the great catastrophe, and Mustalha is probably the last Ot toman Sovereign who will reign over the Provinces of the Byzantine Empire. The new Government of Constantinople has de. la>ed to renew its former conneelions with France, and its wavering policy has induced it, without the knowledge of the French Ambassadors, to enter into secret negeciations with the English Corn mand:rs, which however have n t remained secret, and therefore can have no consequences.—(6liene Urestry, Oct. 1G) . retiree, OCT I.

In our Gazette, the article contained in several 1 other German Journals, stating the future Prussian military force at 150,000 regular troops, and 300,0^0 militia, is declared to be a mere Saran, as every judicious observer must perceive that in the pre ioracircumstauces, whcu the strength of the State is so utterly exhausted; such an augmentation, out of all proportion, can never be the ohje, of the commis sion lot the re-organi►ation of the aray.—(ll:tona Ahreary, Oei. 16 ) THE BRITISH PRESS. LON UON. THURSDAY. Ocrossa Mr. Fisis ea, one of His MAJEST v's Messengers, was landed at Hull, on Monday afternoon, from the Hart you sloop of war, of i 8 guns, Capt. PE s ItCS, with dispatches from Lord treason GOSVIA, at St. Pctersburgh. from Mr. WRIT, and from Admiral G•MIll CR, Off Copenhagen. The dispatches from Admiral Galician are dated the I.sth inst. On the preceding day, Admiral STANHOPE had left that sta.. tion,with prtsesatter flit D•SISH 6111140 T WAR ISO der h's care.for England; but in consequenceof con• trary winds, tl,e Ifzet and convoy were to put Gottenburg on the I 7th. Th. B. k , .n also made the same port, on the 114th ; which they left in com pany on the 20th, together with about 300 sail of transports, having the Danish stores, &c. on board. The weather has been extremely boisterous during the whole of their passage to this cluntry. On Tuesday la,t, at sea, the 11. it pa fell in with the wreck of a galliut, the MarsaLlesaath. which had lust her bottom upon one of the reels in the Cattegat ; all her masts were also gone, and from the circum stance of no person being found on board by the people of the Ilakiten, it is supposed that the whole of the crew bad per bed. It is also feared that se veral of our transports have suffered material da mage since they left the Sound. When the Messen ger sailed from before Copenhagen. the whole of oar forces had been embarked, with the exception of the rear-guard. Mr. EIsHIR, with an Officer of the Hadevirn. left !lull on Monday night, for London, being under orders to make the neartv4 land. and the greatest expediti.sn, and arrived at the Admiralty on fuesda). It is a rt the bate:lssas of Government to endeavour to retain possession of the Island of Zealand. but an arrogement has teen entered into with the Swedish Government, in consequence of which a portion of oar Army is to remain, during the winter, in Szania, a Swedish Province Immediately opposite to the Island of Zea land, and only separated from it by the Sonnd. This circumstance affJrds decisive evidence of the falsehood of the reports which have been so in dustriously circulated in the Ditch and French Papers, stating, that a misunderstanding existed between Great Britain and Sweden. At the time Mr. FISHER came away, Admiral GANIIIIIIt was waiting for the transports to carry the troops to Scania.—We yesterday annionced the arrival of a vessel at North Shields, on the 25th, which parted only three days before from Admiral Sr ANHOPC, having with him nine sail of the line, se►eral fri gates, and a large fleet of transports laden with naval stoics. Accounts were received last morning at the Ad miralty, of this fleet having passed Yarmouth on Tuesday. The ships of the line consisted of the Porapce, of 80 guns, bearing Admiral STA/4110PR% Hag; four other British and five Danish vessels. We stated on Tuesday the arrival of the Danish frigate Fyffe, and the English brig Oberon. at Yar mouth, with a convoy of transports, laden with na val stores ; and that the Leerier. of 64 guns, was to sail witlt another convoy immediately after. Th. dispatches brought by Mr. FISHLR State, that the Leyden and convoy had adually sailed, and that their stores are to be landed at Chatham. These, as also the remainder of the ships frum the Baltic, may be daily expeded. . . The official intelligence which Mr. FISIZI brought horn St: Petersburgh, is not, of SP 14. a deteAs the private accounts which hay* reached us. Phe dispatches arc dated the 22d of September, and, we understand, state that nothing had occurred to interrupt the amicable rektions between the two Countries. The accounts from St. Petersburgh, however, brought by the Gotteaburgh Mail, come down to the sth inst. They state that all appre hension of a rupture bad vanished. - • We this day resume our ea-crafts from the Gotten burgh mail, which arrived on Tuesday ; and give the conten's of Hamburgh and Altona papers to the 18th, which we received yesterday. The lo threatened partition of Turkey will probably be ef feeed in the course of a few months. The Sec►et Treaty of Tilsit. the movements of the French on the aide of Italy. and promised visit of BONA, ARTS to that quarter, have been all regarded as prep.ira tory to the fall of that superannuated and decrepid empire. A secret understanding between it and Ei.gland is the pretence for carrying th:s lorg me ditated plan into ezocution ; for which purpoie a French army. to the amount of 10,003 min, is as sembling in Dalmatia and Albania. Boa aaaaa is expeeted at Milan before Christmas. from whence he will probably direst i's op.ra:ions against the Ottoman Throne. At Milan he will be met by the King of BAVARIA. and probably others of his vassal Princes. The foreign papers continue to assert that King Femora A Hoof Naples and his Court have left for Malta. Parliament is further prorogued until the 17th of December. It is now certain that it will not meet Anti! after Christmas. Yesterday, a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when Capt.

Government have given notice of their intention to contra& for two thousand puncheons of rum for the use of the Navy ; and, we learn, that they are in future to use rum entirely, and not brandy. About 2000 kogsbeads of sugar were on 'Tuesday purchased by the Merchants, so confident are they that a market will be found for them in spite of all A rou.totes decrees. _ _ _ At a General Meeting of the Governor and D. putt' Governors of the county of Dublin, it was re. solved, that the sum a 151. be given for each volun teer inlisting to serve in the Militia. Tt.is bounty is a most liberal one ; but the allowance to the mili tia-man's lamily appears inadequate; one shilling per week for his wife, and one for his child. The pr' visions of the Militia Family Afts, of the 43d and 44 h, appear to be only applxable to men chosen Illy way of ballot, and not to wine enroiird and re ceivasi as ‘oluateers.
