liANIEURCH MAIL. RAT/IBON, The extrEtc.l declaration of the Lleaorate of Biden has not as yet been given in to the Diet. COIVIT \NTINOPLE, JOKE 1. The letter from the First Consul, written with his own hand, which M. Joubert delivered to the Grand Signior, at a private audience, contained re peated wishes for the continuance of the pacific and fticndly relations which subsist between the Porte and the French Government, and also of assurances that the latter had never entertained an idea of landing troops from Italy in the Morea or Albania ; but that all such reports circulated at Constaninople originated from the enemies of France. The First Consul advised the Porte to be on its guard against such reports, and also to recol. lea the constant and disinterested friendship, which France had always preserved with the Porte, and to do justice to the memory of the late Capitan P.tcha, who had endeavoured to maintain and strengthen the friendly eonnettions, which, for se veral years, had subsisted between the Porte and the French Republic. The Grand Signor, in the answer which he re turned to this letter, makes no mention of the pro. jea for landing French troops in the Turkish tee ritories, but contents himself with expressing his warmest thanks to Bonaparte, for his friendly sen timents toward, the Subli.-te Porte, and adding a wish, that these two powers may maintain and con firm, by every po- sible means, the harmony so for tunately subsisting between them. The grc.test attivity prevails in the Russian ports on the Black Seas a great number of troops wets. assembled in the vicinity of them. The Russian General Springporten is still here, has frequent CtIo• (cremes with the Turkish Ministry, and does not seem as if he would soon take his departure for Lorin. ITALY, JUNE tO. The Archduke .7ohn arrived in Austrian Verona. He found these, the !'tench General of Division Gar danne, accompanied by the Generals Compere and Doris; the Staff, and 150 Officers, who were ascent bled to restive His Royal Highness. The Arch- dutta invited the French Generals to bis table, and afterwards vrent by invitation into Italian Verona . On the bridge, be was received by the French Ge nerals and f-. companies of grenadiers, who salute.; hum with their ensigns. roe inhabitants testified their joy by the lossdett acclamations. He was also saluted with the discharge sof thitty , ieces of cannon, both on his entering the slew gate, and on his return to the Austrian territory. According to accounts from Florence, of the 12th inst. the departure of a courier from thence, of the name of Mecatti, with Spanish, English, and French passes, had excited conshlerable attention. Nothing, however, was known of his de,tination. Splendid apartments are prepar:i,g, in the Old Cagle of Florence. for General Jourdan. who is speedily expeEled there. That the family of Bonaparte will receive the highest dignities in the Italian Republic is suffici ently known ; but it is not determined whether de title cif President shall remain, or be changed into that of King of Lombardy. .1 The Queen of Etruria is gone to Pisa, a Luc, in consequence of the presence of the mother of the Emperor Napoleon, and the Prince Borghese and Lis lady, splendid fetes are repeatedly given. Several thousands of Russian troops are ex:se:tied M Corfu. There are various reports in circulation of many ebages and partitions which will soon take place in Italy, but whether they are true is as yet uncertain. ra Oil TAIL RAM IL 1103 COr. 11.51 , 011D1NT OT JV LT 5.

(Lerkx antrant.) OSTSIIT), JULY 1. Yesterday, about six in the morning, we wit nessed a most deplorable eveat. The lighter (portal) of this city, for the passage of troops, Scc sunk with two flundred soldiers upon it, very few of whom have been saved. Already one hundred men have been taken out, drowsed. The fatal ac cident Was occasioned by the imprudence of the soldiers themselves,. who persisted in passing, not withstanding the remonstrances of the bghtennen, who urged the danger of crossing the canal with so great a number of people. These Lame lighter men, that they might have nothing to reproach themselves with, abandoned the lighter, and went to the guard-house, to request the orticer to compel some of the soldiers to leave the lighter. During this intery the soldi,:s pushed oil the lightei, which sunk at about tw.) toiies from the bank. Among the sufferer., we have to :egret a soldier of the 21st Regiment cf L:gn: lntautry, an Egyptian ; who, after having saved tour men, perished the viaim of his humanity, in an attempt to save a fifth.

This accident has spread great gamma :ioa through our city. TILE BRITISH F LON DON, THURSDAY. JULY 19. A report was generally circulated yesterday even ing, ip the city, that a C.,)uri,r had arrived from St. Petersburgh with dispatches for our Government, announcing that the Emperor of RCM* has de clared war against France. Many conceive that such an event would not materially affe.lt the funds, and hence the rumour was not supposed to be a stocklobbing rs-.ancecvre. We beard the report at too Lite an hour toile able to ascertain the partic:::ars, and theref:xe, do net know what credit is due to it t but we mist ack.:o•.vledge. that symptoms of hos tility bczwAn these two roweia have greatly en ereised Witi.ia the last three weeks. 113 addition to the irboient erprinsions used by BONAPARTE, in his answer to the R;:•sian Rernonsttance, as we stated exciaril.! . :, on Fri.lay last, and which, we then observed, were considered at Paris as the pre. cursors to a declaration of war it is report ed. he said, 44 it was strange that the Emperor of ft s, who was surrounded by the unpu nis'oed murderers of his father, should dare to charge hint with the murder of the Duke of Exontras."—All this, however, we give merely as a report. At 'a late hour last night we received the Has3art4 Corrrepotentes of the 4th and 6th in stant, the contents of which will be found in a preceding column. Four liamburgh Mails still continue due. is an extraordinary circumstance, as the wind has been so very flir for at rival. from ?he Continent, that our packets have not been able to sail from Harwich these ten days put.

We :Ibis received, in the course of yesterday, some Paris Tapers to the Bth, from which it appears, that the Emperor NAPOLEON is preparing for an excursion to Bou logne, and that in his abscnce the Eur'sgss is to go to Aix-la-Chapelle, to take the benefit of bathing. We have heard, that Papers or letters have been received in town from Paris, up to -the 11th inst. Their principal contents are said to be the pa• titulars of the grand ceremony of presentation of the members of the diplomatic corps, who have received their new credentials. Report says, that Burr AAAAA received them seated upon his Throne, with the Imperial crown, sceptre, Scc. upon a cushion, by the side of the throne.

We have recelied the following particulars re speaing the capture of the Admiral 444 East-la dialuan, from as Ataeticaa, lately aerivcd from Batavia. The Admiral dlpliis was captured, and s-at into the Isle of France, in January last, by the French privateer, of 30 guns, the P , scAe. Prior to her striking to the privateer, she maintained a very sharp engagement, which lasted forty-five mi nutes. One of the Ailffiral Arlie s crew, named Aid iv, a native of Bristol, was in the Hospital, at the Isle of France, having lost his arm in the engagement. We are concerned to add, that two Otlicers of the Army, passengers en board the ship, were stated to have lost their lives in this unfortunate afair. Letters were yesterday received by a Whakr from St. Helena, dated the 17th May last, at which time, not any ships had arrived there from India, though they were in daily expedition of several. His Ma jesty's ship L'Evptir7ore had returned to the Island from a cruise, having made no captures. Intelligence had been received at St. Helena that twenty-eight Privateers had sailed from the lkluritins, to cruise in different parts of the Indian Seas; and 0-. at about the 20th of April, several ships of war :lad called from the Caps to the Last- ward. Dubin Papers, which arrived yesterday, state., that trees have been eat dawn by night, in the de tretz.ei of the Earl of CHAR' saioN r. and other :ace: in the wia:c.:ty of that city.

Do not suppose, however, that a love cf France, or of French principles, forms any part of their motives or wishes. No, the dis aff.fdecl only look to French invasion, as the means of helping themselves. You have heard, no doubt, that a camp is to be formed on the Currazh of Kildare, to contain 12,000. The force, I believe, is understated, and that it is likely is be 21,000. A great part of the troops in this garrison will be sent to- it, and the city will be left principally to the care of the yeomanry, Ste."

It shows that there are many among the lower classes ripe for revolution, and ready to avail them. S7IVPS of invasion, or any other auxiliary.
