As an alleviation to the inhabitants in general. and an indulgence to those engaged in agricultural pursuits in particular, the Marshal of the Empire has published an ordinance, dated the 13th instant, by which, all requisitions of waggons and horses, in the whole flatmate, during the harvest, a few cases only excepted, are prohibited. Marshal Bernadotte has given another donation of 300 riz dollars to the poor of Hanover. On the 24th in the evening, the city of Luneburg w.'s illuminated in honour of the presence of M. EZTRACT PROM A PRIVATE LETTER PROM HAY• BUNCH, JULY " It seems to be confirmed that Sweden has sold °' Swedish Pomerania to Russia for the sum of twenty six millions and a half of rix dollars lunar. This was effeCted during the King of Sweden's stay in Schonen, and in alit p:esence of the Russian and , English Ministers. Count Ugglas has, it is said, left Stockholm to proceed to St. Petersburg!), in or der to put the finishing , hand to the business; in the meal. time several more Swedish troops have received orders to march into Stralsund. " From Stockholm we learn, that, by a special order, all the artillery from the King's Garden was a few days since removed with the artillery route, to be in a slate of readiness. " Report says, that the Archduke Charles, and Generals Fassbender and Mack, will speedily set out for Italy." TTEPINA, JULY 17. On the 15th init. a recruiting was commenced here, for the completing of the regiments, and the augmentation of the corps of pontoneeri. Yesterday, Prince Dolgorucky and General Win. aingcrode were ptesentcd to Ills Imperial Nl.j-sty. The latter sets out to day on his return to it. Peters. ►urgh. Daring the late disturbances in the suburbs of this city, the French Ambassador. whose country house h in the vicinity of the scene of riot, received a guard for his security. The Arch Duke Charles is still here. The regiment of Nassau dragoons entered this city the day before yesterday. The court at Sim mering is not broken up, •s was reported. corisrsNirriorts, JUNI 15. The new English Ambassador, M. Arbuthnot, arrived here yesterday morning ; he resides at pre sent at the Hotel of the Swedish Embassy. that of the Lnglish Legation not being ready for the recep tion of his Excellency. M. Jaubert, the French Cabinet Secretary, and first interpreter, received of the Grand Signior, be fore h:s departure, an aigrette. valued at 5,000 piasters. His High: ess likewise delivered to him, for his master, a Turkish sabre, the hilt of which is richly set with diamonds. The French Consul Romieuz, who has been a month here with M. Parandier, set out to day for Aleppo. Ibrahim, Pasha of Albania and Romelia, has re ceived orders to repair again to Adrianople. He has begun his march at the head of 'LWOW men, the greater part of which are Albanese Christians. lie has teceived orders, before he repairs to his de stination, to compel the Pasha of Seres to return to his duty. Intelligence has been received from the Black Sea, that another corps of It:o.si in troops is assembling near Sebastopol, destined for the Isles of the lonian Sea ; and that a considerable number of vessels are 'Tripping for the transport of these treeps. ♦Ve have a report here, though it seems to require confirmation, that ilotushid Pasha has been assas sinated at Cairo by the Albanians. The plague, it is saki, has made its appearance sa Catanea; the same is said of Egypt; but these lapital is fortn 7 et mops have set out for the different eolith to reinforce the corps de reserve ..pf that army. it appears certain that the Emperor will set out for !iologne before the end of July, and that his Majes ty u9Ol stay some time on the coast ; all the Generals belonging to this army, who have been for some time at Paris, have :calmed to their posts. It is hence concluded that a descent or. England will be undertaken immediately. OrNOA, JULY 6. Intelligence has been received here that the Grand Master of Malta, 'Commas', died at Cacanea on the 156 of June ; the Grand Chapter immediately as sembled, and elided for his successor the Nall Ca racciolo. The hereditary Prince of Bavaria is expetted at Genoa. The Spanish Ambassador, Pi it Masse rano, has returned from Pat is to Italy.

In the crown, which the Emperor Napoleon has presented to the Pope, are diamonds which were for merly worn by the Great Mogul. BERLIN, JUL: 9.3. Count Metternich, Minister from His Majesty the Emperor of Austria to our Court, has returned to this capital from Dresden ; and M. de Hogendorp, Minister from the Batavian Republic to the Court of Russia, has arrived here from St. Petersburgh. FRONTIERS OF RUSSIA, JULY 16. The Artillery has received orders to held itself in readiness to march. The RusciAn General, Tolstay, passed through Warsaw on the 15th instant, on his way to Lem berg on a rni.ion from his Sovereign. BANKS OF THE MAINE, JULY 16. According to an article from St. Petersburgh, in a German Gazette, all the absentees on furlough from the Russian Army have received orders to join their respeCtive corps without delay. According to letters from Cologne, the French, who have been for some time collated on the Lower Rhine, have received orders to march for the Western Coast. They were at first intended, as is well known, for the Upper Rhine. Several regi ments from the interior will immediately arrive in the departments of the Upper Rhine, to reinforce the garrisons of places which are at present but feeble. flo is Day--Princes AMLLIA'S B rth-Day —I IA i.lay at the Putair Offices. seenie3 the general 'opinion in the city, that hos tilities will commence within the present summer. Iti then BoN•e AKT a itally meditates the invasion of this country ; if his immense flotilla has not been concruned merely for the purpose of creating idle alarm, and encreasing our expences ; we may hourly expefl an attempt to carry the menace into execution. After a few days, and the opportunity is lost, perhaps for ever. That which he dare not attempt, when opposed single-handed to England, he will scarcely undertake with a continental con federacy upon his back. Had we not been so often assured of his coming, we should not be surprised if the hour of the trial was at length arrived. The army is accumulating upon the opposite coast. He was expated at Boulogne before the commence ment of the present month, and all his Generals, after having received their instruaions at Paris, had set out for their respe;Fve posts. We repeat, if he would redeem the pledge, and maintain the challenge given in the face of the world, the attempt of invasion must ►e made without de• lay. If it be not, he will appear to have courted and provoked a continental war to cover his dis grace, by affording employment for his armies upon another field, where the risk would not be so great, nor defeat so fatal. All the accounts received from Admiral CAL DER's fleet by the Malts, arrived at Plymouth on Thursday, agree in stating, that the Combined fleet, finding that they could not make Ferrol or Cotun na, without ri,quing another engagement, must have stood for the Southward, with a view to make Cadiz, or escape into the Mediterranean. In that case, sanguine expthations continue to be enter tained, tha: Lord Nrc.so% must hive reached Cape St. Vincent, and formed a jun&ion with Admiral COLLINOWOOD off Cadiz, before they could reach that point in their southern course. Lord NALSON'S fleet amounted to eleven ships of the line, and Ad miral Cot.Discwoon's is stated at about the same number, farming a force adequate to the complete defeat of the enemy. Much impatience is felt for news from Lord NELSON, as. from the state of his fleet, a general expettation prevailed that he must have greatly outsailed the enemy. Some persons think that his Lordship, having learned Sir It. CAL. DER'S force, and that Brest, Ferrol. and Cot unna, were completely shut against thein,has,with Admiral Cot tiNowoon, spread his fleet from Cadiz across the Streights of Gibraltar, in hopes of catching the ene my in their flight to that quarter, as the likeliest in which they might reek refuge. The French Admi ral, it is said, was informed by the master of a Swedish brig, which he fell in with on the 19th ult. that he had passed a small British squadron of six sail of the line ; this information induced the French and Spanish Admirals to alter their course, to cut off and take possession of this fleet ; but, on discover ing CALDER'S fifteen sail of the line, VILLENEUVIL having the weather-gage, made sail to be off again. The Spaniards being slow sailers, brought the two fleets in contatt, and the perseverance and skill of CA coxes rnanceuvres, seconded by his brave Cap tains, induced the adion which terminated so ho nourably to the British arms. The Rose. TOMPKINS, from Liverpool, for Phi ladelphia, is totally lost on Hoyle Bank. The Mary, WAD!, from Baltimore, for Varell, is detained and sent into Yarmouth. It is stated in a Weekly Paper, that the imme diate cause of the difference between Mr. PITT and Viscount SITIMOUTIg was the refusal of Mr. PITT to appoint Mr. Boers Judge Advocate General. The writ for elciing a person to fill the vacancy in the representation of Gloucester. was received on Thursday, and read at the Tolley on Friday morn ing; when the Court adjourned to this day. the day appointed for proceeding to the eleElion. Hust ings are ereeted in the Eastgate-street, near St. Mi chael's church. The Journal des Delete now bears the name of Jemmy! de !'Empire. Debates, indeed, have long ceased to he the order of the dsy in France. The outward bound Fast India fleet had weighed from Falmouth, we believe, on Saturday ; but re ceived orders to return, and put themselves in fighting condition. Their convoy was to join them at seat but they also were countermanded. This order is supposed to be in consequence of all appre hension that some of the enemy's ships may have slipped out of tires!, during the late ab:encii of Admiral CoRNwSLLIS •l'he ulcers and passengers were to remain on hoard. A number of transports have been takes up by the Agent viatialling at Plymouth, and are deeply laden with provisions of all descriptions, wine, rum, beer, and water, to refresh Lori: NILLSON'S gallant fleet, as soon as he is arrived in the latitude of Ca diz, or has joined Admiral C01.1120W000. From the last letters their water was beginning to run short. Two gun-brigs are ordered wins them as a convoy. A letter from Vienna, after the late disturbances in that city, the details of which we have already given, concludes with these words :-- " The high price of provisions is certainly oppres sive to the peo?le ; but there never was a scarcity, nor the appearance of a scarcity ; and it is a fart that the F.ss Patine has, since the peace. sacrificed an -wally several hundred thousand dollars for the re respea to the prices of the life. Concerning this per- Isterious silence Was observed broken before the present occ.s• THE BRITISH PRESS. LON DON, VitDNESDAY. Al GUST 7. The article in our Monday's Paper, stating the arrival of a Dutch schuyt from Rotterdam, with an account of the alive preparations for the invasion of this country, and of the arrival there of an order from Paris, for laying an embargo upon all the Dutch Ports, was copied, but not correaly, by several of the Papers of yestevilay. We did not state, that the embargo had aElually taken place, but that it was hoerly expefled to be laid on, and that, consequently, it was with much difficulty the schuyt was suffered to depart. Had the embargo aetually taken place, the schuyt would not have dared to break it. The Hamburgh Mail due on Wednesday, and two Gottenburgh Mails, arrived yesterday. They announce every where upon the Continent, the note and preparation for war. On the f2fith last, the Swedish artillery at Stocknsolm was ordered to be ready for immediate servic I. On the 15th, recruit ing for the augmentation r. 4 the army commenced at Vienna ; and, on the t 1 di, the Russian artillery on the frontiers received orders to hold itself in readiness, and all militar:r persons absent with leave were ordered to jo In their respeaive regi ments without delay. ins these movements may be recognised a sympathy between these three Powers, and one common spirit of resistance to the ambition and crimes of Dos AAAAA e. Swedish Pomerania is also stated to have been sold by the King of Swept:4 to the Emperor of Rossi A. The supposed objea of this mess ere is to enable Russia to march her troops into Germany, without committing either herself or. Sweden in hostilities with Prussia. It is matter of regret that such an expedient should be fmun.l necessary. Prussia may remonstrate, with the san 12 justice, against the assembling of a Russian arm r in that part of Po merania when Russian, as she lately did against the assembling of a S•ve fish fort :2 in it, when it be longed to Sweden.
