-. .. degree, altered the si:nathan of France), one finds di'ficulty in believing that they should proceed Isom a Court whose power has assumed a pohrical form so different. and aggrandised itself so prodigiously; which stems to have revived the ancient influence of Turkey, to add to its owe ; which advances. with a rapid and steady pace, equally in the Asiatic and - European Prov.nces of 'that tottering Empire; which has openly put itself in possession of its commercial and political advantages, and to which. to become the absolute master of it. nothing is wanting hut to ere& the Russian Eagle upon the mosques of Constartinople. The style of this . ;cnte appeared no less extraordinary than its sub stance It is easy to discover is its Pi; iggerated • complaints against the power of France, the seal of Englard, anxious to %snot from her a naval port. and dispute with her the liberty of the seas; wl.o • think{ that she can no longer preserve her tyrannical pow's', but by re-kindling war •op•m the Conti nent. This extraordinary stile is not suited to an independeat State. Great surprise was particu. lady excited, that the negotiator should dwell so carefully upon the e'er t end the suceifires e Enslassi fo► eke ge , ,eral tra*guilitee. Such an apo- logy would have appeared, in the mouth of any other person, but M. Novosatzoff, as the most bitter sar casm upon the breach of the treaty of Amiens ;*up on the massacre on board the Spanish frigatcs ; up on'the plots and the corruirinn which England con tinues to maintain on the Continent, for the put pose of renewing war a.•d revolution. " Some awkwardness, therefore, was discovered in the Note of M. No vosiltzoff. We are justified in suspeCting, that, under the guise cf an Ambassador, he was, in fag, only the emissary of a faetion ; and, it is thought, that the personal opinion of the Mo narch went for nothing in this pretended mediation, in which courtesy and good sense were so far lost sight of, that a mission, the objeCt of which was a negotiation for peace, began with an insult to the august person to whom it was addressed."— (Clef dai Cali/v.1./ FROM THE DUTCH PAPERS. VIENNA, AUGUST 14. It is asserted, that two great pnwers have agreed to use their united endeavours for the resumption piths negotiation for peace, which was interrupted by Daron Novosiltzoff's departure, in order to preserve the peace of the Continent, and to restore it to the maritime powers. It is added, that our Government, as well as the French, have ktelivered a Note to the Russian Cabinet, containing a wish, that the negotiations, which have miscarried even ►efore they were properly begin, should be re sumed ; and it is said, that notic► of this declara tion has been given to the Courts of London. Ma drid, and Berlin. •(3VST 15. Notwithstanding all the appearances of an ap proaching rupture, many people are of opinion, that war will not take place, but that more probably a Congress will be held. However, it is very likely, that the whole of the army will be placed on the war establishment, by the first of September. Moreover, it is positively asserted, that several battalions of the frontier-troops are already on their march to Italy, pursts not to orders ; and that 90,00 a Russian troops are already on the Austrian frontiers. A great mi litary promotion is also spoken of, in which a Field Marshall, some Generals, and Major-Generals, will be appointed. Four leagues from Vienna, near Minkendorf, a small camp will be formed, for which the regiments of Auersperg, Archduke Charles, Savoy, and the garrison of this city, are destined. On the 20th of this month, the Archduke Charles will set out on his journey to Italy. They write from Milan, the 30th of July, as fol lows : The French troops in Italy have been in constant motion for this month put; and they as semble. in great numbers, on the Austrian frontier, *specially on Cie river Chicle, where, near Mount Chiato, an army of 30,000 men is already assem bled, the destination of which is not yet known.

The Came/eon brig, of 18 guns, arrived on Wed nesday, at l'oi tsmouth, with dispatches from Vice- Admiral Cot.' INGIWOOD, which were immediately forwarded to the Admiralty. Their substance was yesterday communicated to Lrovo's, in the follow ing official notice : " Admiralty-Office, Sept. S. " Be adviees 'attired this morning, the Combined Fleets of the enemy remai.nd at Cadiz on the 231 Wt. and the Car thacena squadron, in that port, on the lhth of the same month." Sir iticmAns BICKERTON, and Admiral KNIGHT, had, we understand, joined Admiral COLLING woun, and he would be funher reinforced on the 25th or 2Gth, by Sir aosstr CALDER. All these squadrons united, would amount to twenty-eight sail of the line, seven of which are three-deckers.— The Combined Fleet in Cadiz had shewn no dis position to put to sea, up to the 23d, and, therefore, unless they made an attempt to escape between thst period and the 25th, when Sir R. CaLDLa probably joined, and had succeeded in the attempt, they may be now considered safe, at least, for a while, under the lock and key of the blockading fleet. Ad miral COLL/NGWOOD has the command off Cadiz, ■t present ; but, we believe, as we have already stated, that he will be superseded by Lord Net sots. His Lordship was confidently expeeted, yes terday, at Portsmouth, to go out in the Vitfer , ,, which ship has been, for some days, completely ready for sea, awaiting his arrival. The Thane, of 74 guns, arrived early last morn ing, off the hie of Wight, with the Jamaica Fleet under convoy. The following ships, part of the fleet, had previously arrived in the Bristol Channel, having patted company on Saturday, is a gale of wind : The Zephyr, n 4 1 ,110141; John, PrieltharA ; Hercule Powell ; Jane, Ilanway ; Yriendsh,p, Thomas; Flora, esker; St. Elisabeth, Dwell ; Trelaivny,T.ll.y ; JAITIZICZ, Walker; Vulcan, Baker ; Antu t Gardner ; and the Edward, Powell. On Thursday, the 29th last, the Fleet in Cnrk harbour, consisting of nineteen East India ship!, thirty-eight Tram:ports, with troops, and two Bo tany B.sy sbips, convoy of His M ships, Diadem, Belliquecr, Diomede, Plarourre, and Leda, got under weigh ; but a thick fog coming on, interrupted their priogress, and they still remained there at three o'clock on Friday. We understand, however, tha the wind and weather having proved favourable, they sailed on the Slit. We have received no further accounts of the Rechfort squadron, but we rn.iy presume that a British force has been sent in pursuit of it. At all events, the injury to be apprehended from it is gie.tly 'educed by the safe antral of our Jamaica Fleet. The Narnix, of 36 guns, arrived on "Ctresdl at Plymouth, with her prize, the Dab.,, guns, entirely dismasted.

La f 1,,; hid 2 t men killed, and 40 wounded ; she most beautiful ship ever seen. A Gottenbdrgh Mail arrived yesterday, w it ) letters and papers to the 27th last. They state, th at the affairs of Swedish Pomerania are finally settled, and that a considerable body of Russian troops we'l on their march to Stralsund, the capital of !bat :el. ritory. They also state, that a very large Rih, ai army is assembled on the borders of Prussian Pula d, and that there are some reports, that hostilities have already commenced between the Russisa and Prussian armies. On Tuesday last, wi stated a report to this effect, grounded upon letter received from the Continent, upon the pre. ceding day. The rumours respelling pace or wai have been so numerous and contradidory, the bet? authenticated report cannot be received with t much caution. We were not, therefore, suriaisel to find the account of aaual hostilities between H'it. she and Prussia, doubted by some, and disuedited others. Government, however, we undersw yesterday received A drices, that the camps at 13.). logne are all breaking up, and that the troops marched to the interior. It this intelligence he c red, it is decisive of a Continental war. 'lle des-, nation of the troops is, probably, the Rhine. 1; vi impossible that this movement could be a feint to pat us off our guard, and facilitate the attempt of inva sion. &natal:Ts could not think so meanly of oar Government, as to suppose it would relax its energy, for a moment, on that account, or al,Ate iy vigilance, ur.til it were clearly ascertained, that he had abandoned all idea of invading this country. On the contrary, an uncommon degree of aCtivity prevails at present in the Downs ; a very large fleet of transports is assembling, and every thing wears the face of great preparation. Whether this fleet be destined to carry out British troops, or to bring over a Ruatiii — arrny, is, as yet, left to conjeflure. —We have now a' very large fleet at Dungeness, and off Boufogne, and a considerable force in the Downs, displaying altogether more than 100 pen. dams. The Pernceis e . f Orange, that lately sailed for Sheerness, is to he fitted for the reception ofttoors k and will probably be one of the cuovoy to ports. The three Hamburgh Nlails, doe on the 25th and 29th last, and the Ist illEgt,t, arrived last evening. They bring various accounts of military movement!, but nothing decisive of hostilities. Their contents, in other revels, are of no importance. We have received Freoch Papers to the 23th, and D itch Journals to the Ist instant. The former, with the exception of an extraordinary N oe upos M. Maros' Lrzor r's cunduß, in his late pacific mis sion, and it: sudden termination, are destitute of in telligence of any importance. This curious Paper, is the present state of the French Press, is as much the declaration of the French Government, as if it had appeared in the Alonitear, and affords As sure a clue to the sentiments of Bon •r • a Tx. The stric tures which it contain:, betray hi: resentment against Russia. The news from Vienna indicates the speedy approach of hostilities between France and Am. tria. The Archduke CNA RLIS was to set out from Vienna for Italy on the 20th of last month, where a formidable army is assembled.

A letter from Falmouth states, that before the re• cap'ure of the Prince of W-irs packet, the Spanish privateer had taken out of her about 7.0‘ , 0 1 ja money.
