Yesterday, the Note of His M.ijesfy the Emperor of the French, on t' resent circumstances of the Gerinan Empire, was delivered to the Diet. This Note has produced to Liam:any the most pleasing sensation. All the Princes of the Empire, witl.out exception, are iavourably disposed towards France ; all remark with admiration, that she is the strongest power, the power always viftorious, all of whose measures have been pacific, and who has constantly endeavoured to save Germany from the misery into which Austrian inadvertency might plung^ it. The proceedings of th i s? Emperor of the French never made such a profound impression on the hearts of Germans. STCCCHOI.SI, SEPT. 13.

As the number of Russian troopi encreace more and more in the Islands of the Nleditervan:an Sea, the Senator Lambelli, of Corfou, has demanded of the Porte, in the name of his Republic, permission to purchase grain and other provisions in the Turkish provinces. 'lle Porte h is given a negative answer, alleging that the exportations which had been al ready made, had considerably diminished these articles. There is no doubt, however, but M. L.tm. belli will obtain his demand, through the interces sion of M. D'ltaliaski, the Russian Minister. Intelligence has been received here, that M.

Every eye is now turned cowards Prussia, as a power that holds in her hands the fate of the Con tinent. By some it is affirmed, that she has de. dared for France, while others as strenuously insist, that she is determined to observe a stria neutrality. A few contend, that she has tinged herself on the side of the Confederate Cause. These various and contradiaory reports, are either speculations, found ed upon general principles of policy, or the result of private letters, received by the last mail from Ham burgh. Little credit can be obtained, where accounts are so contradiaory ; and, as we believe, no well-au thenticated report has been received of the course which Prussia proposes to pursue, it can at pre sent be only matter of speculation. If we may judge by the past condua of that power, we must presume, that she will ende.svour to pre serve a neutrality. It is the course most conge nial with the cold and cautious policy which has hitherto governed her councils. It is the coarse best calculated to flatter her pride, as it will enable her to aft the part of a mediator between the Belli. gerent Nations, and cause her to be looked up to by them all. But, although we may admit that Prussia is sincerely anxious to remain neutral, it does not follow that the Belligerent Powers will permit her to follow her inclination. One report goes so far as to assert, that the Emperor of Russr • has intimated to His Pa liSt AN Ns.; est r, that he must take a decisive part; and that, without an ex. pli.it declaration upon that subjea, Prussia will be considered as having leagued with France. 'this story is obviously of French manufaaure. It would ill accord with the just and generous principles which govern the condua of At ex *Nose, to use such language to Prussia. It might become, and has, indeed, been praaised by 13os •r Allis towards some.of the Petty German Princes upon the Rhine, but a great and powerful nation is not to be addres sed in such terms, and to be di agnoned into the ranks of the Alli-s. If Prussia were even wa vering and doubtful with respea to her future course, such jut* treatment tie dso part o f Russia, - tnigie throw net lei* the arms of Fraisee ; a result tshieh dpe / A/S*4year' would most antion3ly study to arettS a i . nust, then, explode this report, as wholly unworthy of credst. The great extent to which Prussia is arming, con stitutes another ground of speculation. Her army is now upon a war establislament, and her expellees are as great as if she were preparing for adual war. Some conclude. that Prussia would not incur such expence, and make such extensive preparations, un less she were d-rtermined to take an adive part ; hut, they do not relied, that, without this expensx, and these preparations,she cannot exped t 0 be able to preserve neutrality. It is no time to slumber or sleep, when all the rest of Europe is in arms. Prudence requires, that Prussia should be upon the alert, and prepared against all the vicissitudes that may await the first shock of the contending parties. Id the midst of war and desolation, she has no security for the permanence of her tranquillity, and the safety of her states, but in her strength and vigilance. To procure a passage for his troops through the Prussian terri tories, would, at the present crisis, be a desirable ob jed to the Emperor of Russia.. Some accounts state, that he has, in fad, requested that privilege, and, no doubt, the French Ambassador, Deane, is adively employed at Berlin to prevent it. To speak and aft with firmness i■ such a trying situ ation, requires an imposing attitude.— Besides, it has been generally understood, that Prussia has for some time earnestly pressed Bo AAAAA re to evacuate Hanover, and that the latter has only consented, upon condition that it should be occu piod by Prus,ian troops, until its fate be finally de cided. Should this prove to be founded in f.,a, it furnishes a farther reason for the great military pre parations of Prussia. --- Dispatches, we underctand, have !wen received from Lord Nst.sow, announcing his having joined the fleet off Cadiz.

The na.:er, HA LIAO* Y. from Newcastle, for London, has been captured, re-captured, and sent into Ramsgate. The crew are carried into Franco.

Ca.i.ous joined Admiral COI. INGWOOD ItufOre C Wiz, there were t ships of the Combined Fleet, tira et trop, get ting under weigh, to leave that harbour. Their de. partiire was, of course, stopped in the very critical minute. The accession of the EIiCTOS of Bays! la to the cause of the Allies, is nut specifically confirmed by the intelligence from the Continent. We are, however, inclined to credit the statement to that effeet. It has been reported, that advice had been re ceived of an anion having taken place between the Austrian and French Armies on the Rhine, in which the former Were defeated; but we may ven ture to assert, that no such advice has reached town in any authentic shape.

The reset balance was 521,4061. 61. and they were to bid for this sum in a reduced stock.

Seve ral heavy ;ales were made immediately after the re turn of the parties, and this happening just at the time when the flem:Jurgh letters were received, gave currency to the rumour that war was iher4able. / - quered. The Governor of Crzerum. Jussnf Paclia (fa-davit,/ Grand Vizier), availed himself oft/iis Cif cumrance ; and, having joined his fortes to Chose of Kalrarsnan Ogloc he unexpededly attaeted the Pacha of Trebisonde, and completely defeated him : more than (3000 muskets, which the conquerors found on the field of battle, attest the importance of ibis success, which has delivered the Porte from a very dangerous rebel. Jussuf Pacha has sent the 'leads of fifty ofTayar's principal officers to Ccastai tinciple, %bete, on the 2.lth and 2Call of July, they were exposed opposite the principal entrance of the 3erat,lto. Other accounts from Natolia speak in a totally different manner of the late events which have taken place in that province. According to these ac counts, "fayar Paella, having at first obtained a vic tory over the ri-dccast Grand Vizier, and thinking he could thereby obtain an honourable capitulation, a at four of his officers, in order to enter into a tie gociation. Jussuf Pacha, instead of attending to any propositions, had the heads of these deputies cut off in the middle of his camp. Tapir Paella then re-assembled all his for and, in order still more to animate his soldiers, he shelved them the manner in which the officers had been treated; he afterwards attacked his adversary with the greatest impetuosity, and totally defeated him. Jussuf Pacha sought !vs safety in flight ; but was overtaken by Tayar Paella's cavalry, and, with twelve persons, who accompanied him, made prisoners. 11110. 28. If we may credit private letters from Servia, the Porte has at List determined to accede to the dif ferent denunis of the Chrhtians of that province. The deputy which the chiefs of the insurgents had sent to Constantinople, is on his way back to his employers, and brings a letter or *win from the Grand Seignior, which contains Ois grant. Avus-Aga, of Nissa, has arrived with a body of troops in the environs of Barakin ; but. far from manifesting hostile intentions, he has nnnnunced that his only purpose is to drive away the Kirsales of Belgrade, and that, according to the orders which he had received from the Grand Seignior, he is to ael in all points conformably to the safety and in terests of the inhabitants of Servia. Notwithstand ing this assurance, the insurgents have not thought it necessary to abandon the system of prudence, which has always regulated their conchal ; they have declared to Avus-Aga, that they will consent to his passage, provided he sends back the greatest part of his troops, and retains only 200 men. They are still ignorant what part the Go vernor of Nina has taken. The insurgents have established, near Jacowina, a considerable magazine of ammunition and forage. - IP - 1 ROY AL kA.WLI.
