NOV. 4. According to all the accounts received from the frontiers of the Tyrol, the conclusion of the peace, and the late measures taken against the insurgents of that country, hive entirely extinguished the spirit of insubordination and rebellion. The insur gents avail themselves of the general pardon, and are returning to their homes, deeply regretting that they h-tve sacrificed tiseir happiness to foreign in terests, and drown cruel calitnities upon their neighbours. A numerous deputation has set out from Inspruck, to wait upon his Highness the Prince Royal of Bavaria, - who is gone to Munich. WI: are informed, that, among the members of that deputation, is fluter, the tun-keeper,who,according to various accoun , , is heartily tired of the chief conituand,which he has held fur so short a period.— The commercial relations with Italy by the Tyrol, the interriiptio;i of which was detrimental to the Tyrdese themselves, will soon be re-established.— P.ople are already employed in repairing the bridgia and roads. CONSTANTINOPLE. OCT. 1. The summer has been very quiet in this capital ; the ortas of the Janissaries are almost all in the field, and the Grand Signior hlahinud, causes him self to be beloved by his antipathy to innovations, oil his attachment to old magmas. The friends of Crowe in the Administration are visibly gaining the odvingsge over the English party. The English Ambassador has oat been able to obtain of the Divan the privileges which he solicited ; nay, it even appears that our Government will adhere to the continental system of Europe. The Russians have nut yet made very extensive couquests on the Danube; while, on the other hand, the important fortress'of Island, which was expected to mike a long resistance, has fallen into their power without a regular liege. For the rest, is is here hoped that the Grand Vizir, by his position between Adrianople and Si!lstria, will oppose the ulterior Progress of the enemy. He has received considerable reinforcements, especially in cavalry, from the. Asiatic proviutea, sad his troops light with great bravery, when they have not to de with •uwsx, NOV. S. Nov. 3.

All is gaiet in Egypt, and the eky . of Constanti nople receives by sea all sorts of provisions from that province. On the other hand, the Wahabites continue in possession of Almost all Arabia, not ex cepting the holy cities of Mecca and Medina. The Pacha of Bagdad has great difficulty to oppose,shv enterprises which they are planning on the side of Busserah. As long as the Sublime Porte is at war with Russia, it will scarcely be possible to adopt vi gorous measures against the Wahabites, those dan gerous enemies a Islamism. MUNICH, NOV. 2. According to intelligence received from the head quarters at Halle, the insurgents have requested the suspension of hostilities, declaring their rea diness to lay down their arms, and their inten tion to send deputies to the camp of His Ma jesty, and of his Imperial Highness the Viceroy of Italy, to beg pardon, and to assure them of their submission. lu proof of these dispositions, the insurgents have evacuated the environs of Inspruck, restored the communications with the Scharuitt, offered to re-open those with Italy by way of the Brenner, and to set at liberty the pri soners who are in their power. We have received intelligeoce from the frontiers of Tyrol, that Hoffer, the innkeeper, the leader of the insurgents, voluntarily surrendered himself to Gen. Wrede, delivered his sword, and offered him self as a pledge and hostage for the entire and sin cere submission of the Tyrolese. There was, on this day,another splendid hunting party. His Majesty was on horseback at eleven o'clock, and did not return till night. VILI.ACU, Nov. 3. At the moment that the post was setting off for Milan, we received intelligence that the Italian di vision, commanded by General Severoli, entered Lentz, in the Tyrol, yesterday, without the lea s t Iv "' 14 ' resistance. G..neral Tlarhous' division was three leagues dis tant from thence, and General Rii , c-t had passed the mountain, with the intention of acs kin; Sil lies. General Baraguity D'Hallters commands these troop', under the orders of his Imperial Highness the Prince Viceroy. The division of General Broussier passed through this town, yesterday, for the some destiltation. imenaltEsT. SEPT. U. Accordiog to the latest intelligence from the Russian army, Geheral Milloradowich, commanding the centre, fell in with. on the 15th inst. I:ear Ras• sew/lA/the advanced guard of the Turk.. A o en gagement took place, in which the Turks lost 300 kilted, and 33 prisoners, among whom were it ()th em. Their tamp, before Rassewalt, was taken by storm on the following day. .The Turks retreated under the walls of Siliatria, whither they were fol lowed by the Russians. On the 2d of June. the English frigate the Pd. his, commanded by Captain Ferguson, appeared off the island of Ithaca. Approaching tho coast, she hoisted oat all her hosts, and attempted a lend ing, for the purpose of distributing the proclama tions of Mr. Adair and Mr. Leckie, tending to ex cite an insurrection, and to prevail en the inhabi tants to massacre the very small number of troops composing the garrison of that island. A great part of the inhabitants were that day assembled at the village of Ana, to celebrate St. Constantine's day, a circumstance the enemy thought 'favourable to their enterprise, but which served to frustrate it the snore completely. On the news of the landing of the English, the administrator, M. Marino Vega, addressed the assembled villagers, encouraged them to arm, and led them to the shore. The ene my was repulstd by the lire of musketry. Not yet disheartened, he appeared successively at all the points where it is possible to land, but he was every where received in the same manner. In these dif ferent affairs, the English had some men killed and a great number wounded. Imagining that they were thus received only because the Inhabitants were mistaken in regard to their design. they took away a vessel, the master of which they carried on board a frigate. A Greek gave him from the Cap. toile a letter, the contents of which he explained, directing him to give it to the commanding officer at tie nearest post, and to bring hack au answer.. A translation of this letter, written in Italian, is as follows : If the inhabitaats of Ithaca wish to enjoy the proteetion of t►e English, they have only to maks prisoners of the few French who ars upon the island, sod to hoist the flag of the Republic. The Carteda of t►e English frigate is ready to afford t►cm every aanstance necessary for the swam of this enterprise. (Signed) G6ORG Z FERGUSON. The breve inhabitants of Ithaca replied to these novertures by tiring upon the twiny wherever he appeared. The English aceordinglydeported, and relinquished their design. Vl6llllll. °cr. gP.

These mess:flares are so much the more nece,rery, as many Austrian civil officers and private persons have already arrived in the city ; which diminishes the number of houses that were at liberty, *nil that might be Assigned for the lodging of the troops, and at the same time increases the number of quarters required for the different corps which are arriving from the line of demarcation.

In' this very lengthy article, the writer says, he has confined himself merely to a tt vindication of his private iionour."—From waist of room we must dismiss it, with asking simply, in the language of Lady Tea:le is Joseph Ser. face--." had we not better leave honour out of the question?" Mr. CANNINO having thus made, as he conceives, a triumphant vindication of his private honour, adds—" As to any charges against my put , lie conduct, this is not the mode to reply to them." Now we must beg leave to differ, is foto. from Mr. CANNING, upon his ideas of public and private duty. We do contend, that the whole of his conduct in the Cabinet,, respecting my Lord CA•TLEILIAGII, or any other person, is public can. duct, and not business of a private nature. Tffere is only one point more which we have time to notice in des curious statement : It is dated Gloucester-lodge, the 14th of November.
