According to accounts that may be relied on, the Count de Lille will change the place of his resi dence, and, with all his attendants, leave the vicinity of %Vaa-saw, to reside in future at Riga. via.:ss, sm.. 21. It is stiil said, that the King of Sardinia, who continues to reside at Galelta, in the kingdom of Na ples, will soon embark for Cagliari, the capital of the island of Sardinia. NOV. 30, His Imperial Majesty this day gave a siwcial au dience to the English Envoy, Mr. Arthur Paget, when the latter delivered his new credentials rsl4- tive to the hereditary impend dignity of Austria. In consequence of the alarm excited by the pre valence of the yellow fever in several parts of Italy, the Emperor has given the necessary orders for a cordon of troops to be drawn, and four regiments ►ill march towards Italy from Bohemia and Mora via ; the epidemic disorder, it is said, has made its appearance al Ragus.t. HAGUE, NOV. 27. We have received front one Enthassy at I'.o is, the agreeable information that Mr. Schimmelpennowk has twice had the good fortune to confer with Bo naparte, concerning the Batavian affairs. In the second conference, his Majesty expressed him self graciously, concerning the welfare of this country. and assured oar Ambassador, that he *ou!d do every thing to promote it. In conseqncice of Abis humane declaration, the Pari- Sian Council of State has received orders to delibe rate, and present a report relative to the necessities of I lolland, and means to relieve them, and to cnn 4,ilt with Mr. Shimmelpenninck, and take his ad pce on this, for us, consequential subjeft. I nse ITALY, Nov. If,, According tn several reports, the fever has extend hi ravages to Messina, in t h e i s l an d o f Si c il y , i n quence of which, all letters from that island dipped in vinegar before opened. LEGHORN, NOV. 16. ' The epidemic disorder here, thank Cord, conti- Elly decreases. On 'each of the last two days, y ten or eleven persons have died in the city and hospitals, and the most effcetoal precautions are liken to prevent the contagion from reviving. 1 Since the 9th inst. sixteen merchant ships, and Sveral small vessels have arrived in our hal hour. M. Penza, who, as it i., known, was at teste I for rpplying the English at Malta with p rov i s i on , ude his escape on the 13th inst.

According to accounts from Rome, Lucien Bona te had suddenly left that city, and taken the road Milan. / An English scinadron is cruising of Ragusa. c•DIZ, NOV. 1. Violently as the distemper has raged, and, in ins, still rages, in Malaga, Alicant, Carthagena, ii Gibraltar, it has not manifested with us the me virulence, and is, in this resped, very differ t from that of the year 1800. The mortality has t been great. The number of deaths, daily, includ t the garrisons, never having exceeded 70 ; which a very small proportion of a population of he een :4 and 40,000 persons ; and the whole num of those who have fallon vidims to it, not being this 2,000, it may be considered as having sed for this time. There is here no example any person having had it twice. t is remarkable that our harbour, which was r than ever of ships, was entirely spared by it, "a single person there having died of the disor . One great preventative against it is to be with i fear of it, many dying rather from the effects of ' terror thao of the distemper. Gen,eral Moreau make his voyage to America in the spring ; he here a very retired life : he bears his fate with resignation, and is extremely mild and tour in his deportment, so that he has obtained in a ir t degree the esteem of the few persons who z the happiness to approach him.

C'HiSTASTIKOPLE, OCT. 26. The French Ambassador, Marshal Brune, still continues his negociations through the Grand Vizier with the Porte, for the acknowledgment of his F.m peror, and has at length obtained a written declara tion, in which the Grand Vizier promises to ac knowledge the Emperor of the French, under the double title of Emperor and Padishah (a title which the Porte gay to the former Kings of France); but as this declaration contains no promise that new cre dentials in reference to this subjed shall be sent to the Turkish Ambassador at Paris ; the French Am bassador, according to the instrußions he has re ceived front Paris , considers his departure from Con stantinople as unavoidable, and has accordingly drawn up a memorial, signifying the same, in which he at the same time expresses his thanks for the de claration transmitted to him. This he yesterday delivered to the Grand Vizier, to be presented to the Grand Signior, The Russian troops collected at Sebastopol, which had received et ders to depart for Curfon, on the oth inst. have been countermanded for an indefinite time. In the mean time the Russian Court has found it necessary, on account of the war in Georgia, to est t►lish a conmiunication between the Black Sea and the ( with which view two ships of the line, 0 g we., wit') troops on hoard, put to sea 11 'Am :; - h.t with orders to sail fox Mingrclea. ANOTHLit LETTER, SAME DATE. Tiir rebel Al y, who had made himself master of the hail,our of Latakia, has been taken prisoner, and pia t) death by the Gaiernment of Rebate, so that the port of Latakia is t i .again open to all vevels. 'llw greater part of the effects of the French Am bassador here have seen packed up for this fort night past, at his hotel, and even some of them sent on board. It is said that his lady will set out this d.ty. On the 21 st instant, the Porte sent off a Courier to its Ambassador at Paris. Two English frigates have arrived in this har bour, appointed to convoy the vessels, laden with corn, for the Black Sea, destined for Malta, where there is now a great scarcity. A French privateer, of eight guns, and GI. men, has likewise arrived, which has beets detained thirty days at Tenedoc by the Governor of that Island. The Captain of the privateer demands 60,000 piastres as an indemnity for that detention. We are anxious here to learn the issue of this affair. The Porte in the mean time has sent a Courier to 'Penedos to learn the true cause why this vessel was detained. The disturbances in Humelia are considered u quelled, and the Porte has therefore withdrawn the troops nut of that province, and sent them into Asia, as also for further security, a regular corps. The Usurper, Ishmael Nara, still maintains himself in Acre ; he pretended to be willing to accept conditions of accommodation from Ibrahim Pacha ; but when the latter th aught himself secure, he attacked him, and repulsed his troops with con siderable loss. We have been favoured with several curious ankles respecting the rouse ?burros. One of theist shall appear to•murrow. THE B P 14. tESS. LON DON, MONDAY, Decamsta 17. Mr. Fe ERE remains in town in hourly ex peaation of his brother's return from Madrid ; and the Hon. Mr. Wat.i.esi.v, who was prepared to set out as Ambassador to that Court, has, within these few days, discharged the establishment which was to attend him upon his mission. Of the departure of Mr. Facat from Madrid, indeed, there does not appear to be the least doubt. The French papers state, that it took place upon the 14th ; but private letters mention the 20th as the day of his departure. The accounts of his route are also various. A paper of 'yesterday states that Government lia* receiv ed information of his arrival on the 25ta at Merida, about midway between Madrid and Lisbon, upon his road for the latter place, where he proposed to embark for England. Other accounts assert that he meant to take shipping at Corunna. All, there fore, that appears certain, is his departure from Mad rid. The French Papers announce, that in conse quence of that event the Spanish Cabinet had order ed an embargo . to be laid upon all British vessels, and declared war against England. Those who thinnk he left Madrid on the 14th, and that he ought to have arrived long since in England, account for the delay by supposing that the French Arahassa dor, Bouenonvir.i.c, upon his arrival at that city, suit off orders to detain him, and seize his papers, according to the new system of diplomatic etigeette established by BON•PARTE• Weyesterday received two of the three Hamburgh Mails d!,-, with letters and papers up to the Sth inst. To console the unfortunate Dutch for the ruin of their trade, and the loss of their liberties, BON A p•art h;tn graciously condescended to order his Council of State to take their case into consideration. This is aJding insult to injustice, for he knows, and the Dutch know, that he alone can afford relief by withdrawing his army, and that while Holland is covered with his troops, their grievances are irreme diable. Rebels, instigated by France, are still laying waste Syria and Egypt, while Baelse agitates and perplexes the GRAND SIGNIOR, in his capital, where that emissary of Bon A PARTE still continues to re side. The Esc; r. [sit MINISTER at Vienna has, at length, acknowledged the Hereditary Imperial Dig nity, in the House of AUSTRIA. The fever has ceased at Malaga, and is upon the decline at Leg horn, but it is said to have broken out at Messina, in Sicily. More Russian troops have arrived in the Mediterranean, and others are expelled from the Black Sea. The unfortunate Royal Wanderers, the Kings of FRANCE and SARDINIA, arc said to have fixed their temporary residence, the former at Riga, and the latter at Cagliari, in Sicily. Their Swin ish MAJEST&ES have been forced to return to Stral sund, after having narrowly escaped shipwreck upon the coast of Sweden. We have received Philadelphiacapers to the 15th, New-York to the 18th, and Boston to the 2:ld last. The intelligence which they contain chiefly relates to St. Domingo, where DESSA Limn, or, as he now styles himself, ,TAquEs, is as absolute as his brother Emperor, BON ArANT 6, is in France. The following extra& from a decree issued by him, on the 22d Oc tober, shews alse, that his Government is equally mild and friendly towards foreign nations : Art. 1. Every Captain of a vesszl, armed or not, on beard of which one or more persons, naives, shall be found to be carried to a foreign country, such Captain shall be arrested and thrown into prison, there to lay ten mouths, and after that time to be sent to his own country, with express orders not to return to she empire of Hayti at his peril. The trawl and cargo shall be myriseated tire the bearfit et" the I:sepire. Art. 2. Every native taken on board such foreign vessel shall immediately be shot in the public square. A letter from Boston says, "The Haytians lately captured a Spanish vessel laden with silks and muslins, hound to Vera Cruz. The crew were im mediately brought on shore and murdered. A day or two after the captute, the EmPEROR and his prin cipal Officers appeared in new suits of silk." A French frigate, with 4; 0 troops, arrived at Martinique in the beginning of last month. Two more frigates, with stores, and the same number of troops, had sailed with her from France, but she parted company with them in a gale of wind, and succeeded in making the port of Trinity, which, shortly after her arrival, was blockaded by three of our frigates. The avette, which is in the last page, contains an account of the late attack upon Fort Rouge, in the harbour of Calais. SAttlfday, at two O'ClOCk, the DANISW and Swan.

No boat belonging to these ships was allowed to go on shore even for beef and water. The British merchant ship Dorm, arrived on Sa turday at Standgate Creek, from Cadiz, which place she left on the £oth of November, with half a car go. in consequence of an intintatian from Mr.DUIII, the Consul, that. under the then circumstances, he did not ~onsider it safe for British vessels to remain in that port, u an order for an embargo was expect ed every moment. !10TAL HU NT.
