NOV. St. A Courier has again been sent off to Paris, who carries, it is said, a letter from the King te the Em peror Napoleon. The day before yesterday, the Austrian Ambassa dor here, Count Metternich, received a courier from his Court ; and to-day the Turkish Envoy, accredited to this Coon, M. Argiropulo, received a courier from Constantinople, whose dispatches have relation to the transaaions between the Porte and France. vismtsa, coy. 17. Our beloved Sovereign and his Illustrious Con sort attioed in this capital on the 14th instant in per fee health. According to accounts from Constantinople, the French Ambassador, Marshal &see, has, at the request of the Porte, deferred his departure, which was bed ler the 111tb of Dauber. The Porte is willies to acknowledge the French imperial dignity an soon as it shall have had the necessary communi cations with Ptuisia oa the subject. It is believed that this achaowledgmeot will be made within a deflate time, and that a certain foreign Court has applied to the French Government to consent to delay. T0111014,110y. 19. The Prussian Envoy, Corm Goetz, has received advice by a rescript from Berlin, that His Prussian Malmsey ' s. Direaor of the Circle of Lower Saxony, has caused the strongest representations to be made to the Imperial French Court relative to the arrest of the laglish Charge liffeiros, Sir George Rum hold, at Hamborgh.

The Montenegrians having refused, general O'Brady ordered a detach ment of Imperial troops to advance, when the for me evacuated the country, and retired towards the mountains. The next day some troops appeared upon the heights, dressed like the Russians, and who, by their manoeuvres, sweated inclined to take proseaion of that territory to which the Bishops of Montenegro form pretensions. General O'Brady ordered then six companies of infantry to advance. The Bishop did not think proper to wait for the Anal-bow bet ordered the liketesegrians to re treat. nem were the temps takes fee Russians." According to letters from Hamburgh, the Ring of Prussia has lately ordered a impost as be laid be fore him, coacerning the situation of the fortresses of his kingdom. Nov. 10. The Elector Arch-Chancellor has bees invited, in the most flattering roamer, to take up his residence, daring his stay at Paris, with M. Talleyrand. MAIM Ai 1.1, NOV. Yesterday M. D'Oubril passed through this city on his way from Frankfort to Petersbargh with a numerous retinue, among whom were M. M. Low. rasters, Baykal', How, and Prince B:Erb:toff. nous, ocr. 91. His Holiness arrived in this city from Castel Gandolfo lest Sunday, and the next slay held a so lemn coosistory, and explained in an address to the Cardinals the motives of his journey. This morning early bis Holiness repaired to the church of the Vatican, where he celebrated high mass, and immediately after sacred his carriage, and set out on his journey to THE BRITISH PILESS• LONDON, WEDNESDAY, Dacsusui S. Yesterday we received with the Hamburgh Mail due on last Sunday, Letters and Papers up to the Ifith ult. As we supposed, the late Official Report in the Mendadr, of the Russian Commander in Car fou having sent troops to assist the Montenegrians, tarns out to be one of these falsehoods that usually ill the columns of BOM•PARTI'II ReVOILItiOI I / 1 7 Gazette. From an article in a Franckfort Paper it is now evident, that the Corsican by this inser tion not only had in view to calumniate Ruisia, but to alarm Austria, as these Montenegrians were armed in defence of some claims of their Bishop, on a country which the Emperor of GLIN•wI, as sovereign of Dalmatia, pretends belongs to him. When the Austrian General advanced towards those troops, only with some few companies of infantry, they retreated to their mountains without farther resistance. This alone must convince every inde pendent Prince and loyal subjea of the danger and . • folly of placing any reliance upon the contents or the 3lmi'crr. The intrigues of France continue to perplex the Turkish Divan. Bound by treaties, by interest, and policy, w follow the example of Russia, the GRAND SIGNIOR has hitherto refused to acknowledge the guilty Corsican Usurper, as an Emperor of the French. His Emissary, Baur+ x, therefore thought fit, in the beginning of Oaober, to demand his passes to leave the Turkish Empire ; but has, ac cording to the desire of some of the members of the Divan, condescended to remain on his post, until the arrival of a courier from St. Petersburg-h. Whether Secure 111. salutes BON APA ar c as an equal or not, is of little importance to other States, and will not prevent the partition of his dominions for three months, after he shall cease to be proteeted by England and Russia. According to an article in the French Papers, an embargo has been laid on all Swedish ships at Nantes and L'Orient, as well as at Havre. This is the natural consequence of the recal of BONAPARTE'S Commercial Agents from Sweden, notwithstanding his official assurance to the contrary, which he gave the Swedish subjeas in the libel, published against their Sovereign, in the Ilfeaitear of the 15th last August. The King and Queen of Swcoem sailed from Stralsund, or Ystad, on the 23d ult. We msy .xpea, according to letters from Ma drid, the speedy arrival in this country, of Mr. Fists, our Minister to the Court of Spain. He received his passes on the tOth, and was to leave that capital on the lab. We have not yet heard that the SPANISH AIIIASS•DOR to our COUTE 15 making any preparations for a speedy departure. The Pori has left Rome, and has passed through Florence, on his way to Paris, where he probably has been forced, before this time, to perform the most sacrilegious of all aas, the Coronation of an assassin, an atheist, and an Usurper, an Emperor of the French. A private letter from Berlin of the 23c1 ult. says. " The Duke of Bauxswice is not the only able and great military character here at present, our Kiso having ordered 'insets other of our best Generals to attend a grand military as well as political coun cil of State, which continued to deliberate four days last week in the presence of His MAJZSTY, at Pots dam. This extralrdinary occurrence, the first of its sort during the present reign, has caused many rumours. and more speculations, particularly on ac count of the frequent conferences, at the same time, of the Russian and English Ministers with our Mi nister of State, Baron Hsanaxecao, and the un usual activity which every one must observe in our military departments. some pretend that our Ca binet has discovered some secret agreements be tween Austria and France, invading or annihilating all those subsisting between France and Prussia ; others say, that though BoxAAAAAe, upon the re. presentation of oar Ambassador at Paris, released Sir GEORGE RES/BOLD, he at the same time held insolent and threatening language, which neither the dignity nor the power of our Sovereign can endure without degradation, and therefore mast re sent. Besides, from the known character of the Usurper, it is no longer a secret, that, against those Princes or Stites, he pronounces insults, he medi tates attacks, and acts of oppression. The plunder of the English and Hanoverian Messengers, and the daily, or r ither nightly, outrages committed on the right bank of the Elbe, are regarded by our Kist: and our Ministers, not only as acts of provocation, but of defiance, which, sooner or later, will oblige them to unite with England and Russia, and to put an end to a neutrality so highly advantageous to France, but which her ungrateful tyrant now seems to despise. " P. S. I have just heard that several regiments have received orders to march, and concentrate themselves with oar troops, already near MAgde burgh, and on other parts of the frontiers of the Electorate of Hanover, and that three c.tin?s will be formed early in the spring, the preparAtions for which cause the great bu,tle in our war dep.irt meat." This day at one o'clock His Ildssurr will hold a Privy Council for receiving the ltscosoat's lteport, &c. Yesterday, the RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR traisaded business at Lord HARILOWBY'S office, from hali-past two till half-past three o'clock. It has been reported, that the ceremony of the Coronation of BO NAP Ala t has again been pow potted, in consequence of some information which he has received of another plot against his life. An Evening Paper in the interest of the Minister, and therefore presumed to be well informed upon the subject, says,—" Parliament will certainly meet on the 15th, and will immediately proceed with bit. suess of the greaten importance." The /ildt7fatigabte, of 44 guns, Capt. C. Moose, just out of deck, and fitted for sea in Harrsoaza, is ordered to work down the harbour into the Sound direlly, though the wind is directly E. and then to proceed with the several officers to join their ships off ar.d to take dipatches 1 r Rear-Adiniral COCHR•PII.

The other evening the r 4411 • Z ROUINJ, in company with his father and two friends, supped at a he'd ; after supper the conversation turned on the fortun , • that had been made by different actors, when one c: the gentlemen, quoting SII AWL* az, said, " There i. a tide in the affairs of rich, Which, Laken at the flood, lead. on to tattoo*" „ True, Sir,” replied the Yowl: Rouissi, and I a SP at NG tide is the best, so I will try fortune in more ways than one," And instantly orhred the waiter buy him a ticket in the ensuing grAnd . which begins drawing the 26th January ne...z.

Besides the Cardi oafs who have been before mentioned, he is attended by the Cardinals Brasche and De Baian. Pius VII. before his departure, confirmed all the public Otis. cers in their authority, and invested the Cardinal, Secretary of State, with the most extensive full powers. Though it was said that His Holiness would not go by Florence, on account of the distem• per at Leghorn, this intention is now changed, and he will pass through that city. rimacmci., NOV. 1 The accounts from Pisa and the Pisance are very consolatory. No symptoms of the distemper which prevails in Leghorn have as yet appeared there; and in the latter city the disorder decreases daily. 'Yesterday no more than eight persons died, and among the sick seventeen are in a fair way of recovery. Nov. 5. His Holiness arrived here this day en his way to Paris.

Notwithstanding the somber of English cruisers, 177 ships have, daring last year, entered the port of S.sbles d'Olonnes. Since the blockade of the seaports in the Channol, several ships arrive at Caen without experiencing any danger.
