LON DON, MONDAY, Stp rtu Btu 3. Had the business of the last week of Aoulogne been as formidable as it was represented by some of our contemporaries, the Gazette of Saturday night would most assuredly have noticed it: The silence t.f the Gazette is, therefore, evidence that we re presented it truly. It is now well known, that the French flotilla returned into Boulogne on Tuesday last, but it is supposed, that some part of it attempt ed to come out again on Friday. Indeed we may exped a repetition of thismanceuere. A pirate letter which we have received by the c;ottenburgh Mail, throws some light upon the French intrigues at Constantinople, and states the following particulars:—lmmediately atier the otos paiion of the Kingdom of Naples, by the troops of Roo 'PARTE, the Emperor of Rtssr A determined to send a suffiCient number of ships and sr - ildiers to de fend Sicily, the Mores, and the Seven Islands, against the attempts and plots of France. By trea ties with the Sot LIME Poses, a free passage through the Dardanelles is secured to Russia, while at peace with the Turkish Empire. Last February, however, immediately after the arrival of the first Russian convey with four frigates, General Borne presented a strong note to the Divan, protesting Against the passage of any more Russian troops or nwn of war from the Block Sea, for the Mediterra nean. He was supported in this step by the Spanish and Rotarian Moister*. This note. or rather as estraii from it, was presented to Count IrsLINSKI, the Itussian Ambassadi.r, who sent off to his Court for instrations; but insisted upon the observance of the treaties in this particular, until he should receive an answer. In the mean time, another 11.21.i0n con voy passed, unmolested, tOr the Seven Islands. BRUNE then tried, by his emissaries, to work upon the national prejudices of the Turks against Cie Russians, and the people of Constantinold: began to murmur at the distinguished reception ,i,icen to the Russian General, Baron Sl' IIItNGPOR TEN, and several Russian officers of rank, by the members of the Divan. The intrigues did not, however, stop here. Russian sulsjeas were insulted, attack 11, and some even murdered, by a 'Tutkish mob, headed and instigated by persons known to be partisans of France, and in the nay of BR VNIt j and, thauk,h some of them were punished for their crimes, the most guilty took shelter in the Hotel of the French • Minister, who assisted their secret escape from t' e Turkish capital. In the mean time the crews of the Russian men of war, and the troops on board the transports, were not permitted to land. Even those, whose health required a residence on shore, were refu►ed that indulgence. In this intereal, Count IT A LINSICT received new instruiontivorn Petersburgh, and had an audience of the GRATO. Viziza, at which he demand7d whether any obsta des were to be expelled by the ships of his nation in their passage through the Dardanelles ? and in sistvd upon an explicit answer. Upon this subject. he received the following official declaration :— " That as long as the Emperor of Russi A shout.. be at peace with all the powers of Euro;:e, the pa,. sage should remain open to him; but, in case he should be engaged in war with any of these rowers, then the SUBLIME PORTE, in conformity with that system of neutrality which it was determined to preserve, could not any longer permit Russian men of war to pass the Dardanelles, either from the Ul,ck Sea to the Mediterranean, or from the Medi terranean to the Black Sea." It is said, that this declaration has satisfied neither the Russian nor the French Ambassador. It is probably the cause of the present temporising condat of the Ca binet of St. Petersburgh, and of the passage of a Russian fleet from the Baltic for the Mediteitaneasi, instead of its having taken the course of the pie ceding striadrons, through the Dardanelles. A pilot boat from Bremerlce, on the river Weser, has been spoken with by our cruisers on that station, he crew of which related, that the free and nee'r,./ city of Bremen, after a blockade of five weeks by the Corsican's satellites, during the present uninter rupted Continental peace, has, at last, been forced to advance a loan, or rather submit to a requi sition, of one million of dollars, necessary for the mock Eurxecia's Coronation expences, and paid to one of his titled slaves, BERNADOTTE. It is supposed. that this army of French marauders will make the tour of the other Imperial cities, and moil, in the same manner, plunder from I lamburgh and Lybeck, as the King of Nom* seems to take no notice of these illegal proceedings, so con trary to the late peace of Luneville and of Ratisbon, as well as to the laws of all civilised nations. An Account was received yesterday at the East India House, of the safe arrival off the Isle of Wight, of the following country ships from Bengal : viz. the Elena Awl, the Un;c3rn, and the Sir Ilii . aans Patency.

The Eliza Ana, Llai . oe, and Sir William Pulteiary, on their passage from St. Helena, fell in with and took a French privateer of 12 guns, and Gtt men. A private letter brought by the Gortenburgfi Mail, which arrived on Saturday, states, that the Batavian Government has received information that Vice-Admiral HA SITSINC ti arrived in ~ ffty. with his squadron, at Batavia, upon the 110th of Ve bruary An extraft from another letter, received :h -ongh the same Channel, says,. The EueLeoaS journey is said to be fixed in the following manner: fter leaving Boulogne, his MAJTAT Y goes to A;x-la- Chapelle, where his stay will be but short. From thence he goes to Colofn, and travels along the Banks of the Rhine, to Loblentz, Mentz, and Stras burgh, where, after inspeSing every thing, his M A j EST s returns to Paris. The Governor of St. Helena has received the most positive injunftions to prevent on that island any kind of exchange or traffic of slaves, which might tend to encourage or countenance that trade.

Saturday dispatches were received at the Admi ralty from Rear Admiral TitosN sosoucii, cdni mandng the blockade of the Tesel s they w ore brought to Yarmouth by the Chas frigate, at the time of whose departure the enemy remained in the same state a , f! , r some time past.

It is reported that serious disturbances had taken place between the Dutch and French troops At tbe Helder, in which a great number of men had Elect killed. A Paper of yesterday says, " The Emperor of Rases has sera one of his principal Officzts to Grodon, to compliment Loos the XVIIIth on his recent escape, and to make es- , 1-s- arrangerns7m that tan conduce to his accommodar. , n there.
