The rupture between ilussia and the Po-rte, or the apprehension, rather, that the energetic plea sures of the limner will completely 'frustrate the .views i'vhich France has long had towards the Turkish Provinces, appears to have much ,irritated acid embarrassed BON.APARTE. A meeting ,of the Senate lately took • place on the subjea, in which a long letter from his Majesty the Emperor was read. It will be seen by the following ex trad from it, that nothing - less than the complete re-establishmetit of the French influence atConstan tinople, which necesarily excludes that of the Court of St. Petersburgh; will satisfy him : " Who could calculate the duration of the wars, and the number of campaigns which must be made, to repair the misfortunes which would result from the loss of Const4ptinople : if the love of cowardly repose, and the pleasures of a metropolis, should predominate over the suggestions of a wise spirit of precaution ? We should then leave to our pos terity a protraaed inheritance of wars and mis fortunes. Should the Greek Tiara display its tri umphant influence from- the Baltic to the Medi terranean, we should see, even in our time, our Provinces attacked by .a crowd of fanatics and bar barians; and if, in this too lOng protra&ed confli6t, civilized Europe should perish, our criminal indif ference would justly excite the complaints of pos terity, and would he marked with opprobrium in the page of history. " The Emperor of PERSIA, harassed in the inter' • rior of his kingdom, as Poland was during a course of sixty years, and as Turkey has been for the last twenty years, and all produced by the policy of the Court of St. Petersburgh, is animated by the same sentiments as the Porte, has taken the same resolu tions, and marches in person to the Caucasus, to de fend his .frontiers. _ _ _ " In this state of things peace cannot be durable, ;unless it guarantees the entire independence of these two great Empires ; and if by the unbounded inins, ticeand ambition of our enemies the war should con tinue, our people by their energies and their Jove for 'our person, prove themselves worthy of the elevated destinies which will crown our labours, and can alone secure a long and solid peace to close the present season of glory." A Conscription, it is said, of °nein six of the Youths at Hamburgh, from 16 years old to a certain agei has been enforced by the French at that place 'Pith great severity. It is probable that similar at tempts to strengthen the French Armies will take Place wherever French autheFty prevails. The con :''equeece will, perhaps, be more formidable to BON A-• PARTE than he is aware of; for as the present war is tarried on• merely for the gratification of his proud ambitious spirit, a strong sentiment of revenge must operate among all. who are forced to hazard their Lives for the promotion of ..such an objeEt, which has only a relation tOhiniseit. It is well known that all but his minions would exult in his destruCtion ; for except, them, every hand is against him. At tempts have lately „been made to destroy hini, and many more will doubtless follow. It is impossible that such a career of ambition and despotism should proceed much hanger, and the re. cent Proclamation to the People of Germany, issued loy General BENNVISEN, cannot biu strongly impress their feelings, and rouse them 'to . an assertion of those rights which the French have so outrageously violated.- A Paris Paper, of March 1; says, "While the English, through their obstinacy in continuing the war ; have involved our braVe legions in hostilities which have carried theM so far from their native country ; we learn that his Majesty the Emperor. has given the En g li s h p r i soners a proo f o f his favour and humanity.

The result of the viCtory has been twenty Eagles, fourteen of which have been awarded to General BENNINGSEN and the Russian Army; the 'remaining six have been pre sented to his Majesty the King of Prussia. The French had lost twenty thousand men, who were dead on the field of battle. The contest had been so obstinately maintained on both sides, that both Prench and Russians had refused to accept of any enarter from each other. A body of 1500 French, wh o had been cut off during the battle of the 7th, had been surrounded on the seh by the whole of the.

Fit ORATonio.--Tire SUCCCeiS winch attends till! .grand species of public amusement, at Covent Gar den Theatre, is the natural consequence of the abi lities which are employed. in concluding and sup porting it. The first ad of HAYDN'S Creation, and two miscellaneous ads, consisting of judicious se 4e:talons from the best Composers, constituted the entertainment- of last night. Mrs. DICKONS, who has recently been deprived of a very near relation, resumed her station last night, and exerted herself with z.'s much energy as could be expected under the impresSion of such a loss. BRAHAM introduced a new air, entitled " England's King and England's Glory." The music was characterized by appropri ate anirnation, and was given with correspondent force and spirit by the Performer. The whole re ceived the warm applause of a numerous audience. A Benefit was generously given by the Managers of the Theatre in Edinburgh, for the Charity Work- House of that place, on Monday last. Mr. and Mrs. STEPHEN KEMBLE laudably exerted their talents on the occasion. . mid JAMESON, of the Bath Theatre, whose ta lents we have before had occasion 'to mention, had a benefit there a few nights ago, which was attended by the first people in the plate, and the receipts of which were 1651.; a just tribute to this Lady's merit. Her acting is much in the style of Miss FARREN, of whom she may indeed be considered as an elegant counterpart. The report lately circulated of Madame GRASSINI having been poisoned in Holland is unfounded; that Lady was well at Amsterdam on the 2d inst. It seems, the Italian Artist employed in painting Lord CLONCURRY'S cieling must have a wonderful mind, that could fix it on things above and belOw at the same time. _The Dublin Caricaturists are exercising their ta lents upon Sir J. B. WERS'S Grim. Con. with Lady CLONCURRY, Among the fanciful pieces of this Class is A Sketch from Life, by an Italian Master, valued by Twelve Connoisseurs at 20,0001. The Marquis TOWNSEND reached his Eighty-fifth year on Wednesday. The Marchioness, in honour of the day, gave a splendid dinner to a large party of their friends in Weymouth-street. In the even ing, in addition to the amusement of cards, the fe male part of the company were gratified with a kind of lOttery;consisting of elegant and valuable articles of fashionable decoration. The whole passed off with the utmost pleasantry, and a general wish for many Anniversaries to the venerable Host. Col.

BEDFORD, MAR cif 13.—A person of this town undertook, for a•wag-er of a guinea, to pick up 100 stones, lying a yard from each other, with his mouth, and carry them, one at a time, and deposit them from his mouth into a basket which was stationed at the first stone. He was allowed an hour to do it, but did it this forenoon, very completely, in 56 minutes. What makes the exertion still more re markable is that the man who did, it is tall, and weighs upwards of 'sixteen stone. • On Wednesday last as a maid-servant was clean ing a glass lamp in the lobby of.the house of Samuel Horrocks, Esq. in Preston, by some means the pul ley broke, and the weight falling. on her head, 'frac tured her skull in such ,a manner as to cause her death in a few hours. Johnson, the smuggler; who had been outlawed under a Commission of Bankruptcy, was on Thurs day examined before the Commissioners, by virtue of a special order from the Lord High Chancellor for that purpose. After his examination, be was taken into custody by 'Mr. NIXON, of the Fleet, and concluded back to that prison. Yesterday evening a :Man named John Sims was examined at Bow-street before Sir WILLIAM saris, on a charge of ..havingstolen'a Bible during an audion at a Bookseller's in Piccadilly. • Theot fence was sufficiently proved_ by the clerk to the bookseller, to induce the l'qagistrate to commit the. prisoner for re-examination on Friday next. On searching Sitng i s apartments at Kentish Town, 23 duplicates were found of boOks, &c. besides two broken spoons, ,marked " Golden-Cross, Charing ,Cross." MARLBOROUGH-STREET. —Yesterday William Parker a depredator well known in the promenades . at the West end of the town by the title of Captain Hart, was charged With a robbery at Beale's Hotel, Jermyn-street., The Prisoner went to the hotel on Thursday evening, and being seen by a waiter in the passage, whose business accidentally led him up stairs, he asked if that was .not the Union Hotel. The prisoner had his hand in his pocket, and from ; his manner of conduding himself, Notley, the waiter, ' took the liberty of releasing his hand, when, he found a silver fork in it, which had been taken off the sideboard. The Prisoner in his defence said the waiter had given him the fork. He was fully com mitted for trial. d PUBLIC-OFFICE, ,HATTO NItARDEN. —Yesterday Trott ancLChapamwbrought two men to town, one of whom, Mark Young, voluntarily confessed, that , in company with William Woodward, they had mur dered Doctor Bailey, at Long Sutton, in Lincoln shire, about twelve years since. The other as posi tively denied having any share in the murder. Both the Prisoner; were committed to separate prisons till a further inquiry is made in the-country. iIOME CIRCUIT`. CHE'LMSFORb, MARCH 12.—1 n the case of Flvtn v. Grant, the action tried yesterday for Ci - inz. the Jury returned their verdict. at a very late huur, at the lodgings of the Judges, for the Defendant. CROWN SIDE. THE kING V. ABRAHAM' HEAR ST Asn ` CT N!'.4. This was an indietrnent against the two Det-e.td ants,. for assaulting the Prosecutrit; first, with an intent to murder; and, in a s: - .Cuad cuunt, - i‘v:th an intent to ravish. This was a very singular case. The Prosocotrix was a very pretty and decent looking young woman, and the story she told was as follows :—That not being very well, she had resolved to leave London, to go to her friends at Stowmatket, and on the s'iith of July she took he& place in the waggon. The two Prisoners, Abraham Hearn and Ann Crann, SVCI . also passengers in the waggon, and Hearn, she understood, was brother to the Proprietor. As the night approached, she made herself a bed in the fore-part of the utg - gon, and at night went to • sleep ; near Stanwav .she was awakened by Hearn taking some indecent liberties with her; lhe called out to the waggoner for assistance, who desired her to put her head back, or she would fall out of the waggon J she drew back, and fainted; but, when she recovered herself, she found the Defendants taking her out at the side of the waggon. Crann asked her to go walk a little way; she obje6ted, because she had lost her shoes; • but Crann prevailed upon the Wit ness to accompany her down a lane ; when she had got a little way she insisted on returning. Just at that moment she received a blow on the head troll some one behind, and a kick in the hack. A nr,:n at that moment, - whom, by his voice, she knew to be Hearn, took her up in his arms ; and dashed her _ against the ground. What happened afterwards she did not know, for she became insensible. When she recovered herself, she found herself alone in the lane in the dark ; she crawl e d a l ong upon h er h ands -and knees till she reached the high road, and then, as it seemed to her, she fell asleep, for she dreamt that she was in bed, and pulling the bed-clothes over her, which awakened her, and she found she had a handful of grass : she was-too feeble to rise, and she saw, several coaches pass, but she could not make them hear; at last a guard of one of the coaches saw her and took her up. She. was carried to Col •chester, where she wandered about for six hours, sometimes sensible and sometimes not, her senses coming and going ; at length she found - her way to Mr. Hedges, a Magistrate ; she did not remember how, but she told him her story. He ordered her to be taken care of. The next day she was quite delirious, and remained so for six weeks before she recovered. On her cross-examination, she said, she was ifl when she left town, but she had never been deliri ous, nor was she so when in the waggn. Abraham Hewett, the waggoner, stated, that the Prosecutrix called out to him near Stanway, saying, " I'm interrupted by these vagabonds." He told her to draw back, or else she might fall out of the waggon ; she did so, and he thought he heard het crying. Before begot to Colchester, he heard Hearn and Cann talking in the waggon he heard Hearn say, , he wished.he had not done it. The woman re plied, " never mind, it will be thought somebody _else has done it." When they got Cr.lJses. :e r, he missed the young wo man, ann asKed the 1 7 , - ..oncrs what had becomeof her ? They both said, th e y did not know, but that she bad been out of her senses in the night, and probably had got out whets they were asleep. The Guard of the Norwich Mail proved he found the girl in the situation she described, and that he carried her to Colchester. Mr. Perkins, a surgeon, proved, that he had exa mined the girl. From his testimony it appeared, she had been most cruelly ill treated. Het head wag much bruised—enough, in his judgment, to have produced the delirium ; her neck was scratched ; and there was a mark round one thigh, as though from a tight ligature, with a rope, or some such thing. Ann,Crann, in her defence, said, that the Prose cutrii had shewnevident signs of b e in g out o f h er ' mind on the road, and that she was very disturbcd just at dark; she persuaded h er to li e d own and be quiet, which she did at last; and when she thought that the Prosecutrix was gone to sleep, she herself also went to sleep, and never waked until they reached Colchester. When they arrived they missed the young woman. -- Mary Squirrel was called, but she completely confirmed Hewett as to the conversation ; and stat ed that Crann, in the latter part bf the journey, be haved so indecently with Hearn, that the Witness rebuked her for her condua. She stated farther, that Crann had talked of what had happened on the road, and said they bad used a young woman very and she was afraid " bad would come of it." The Jury, without hesitation, found both the Pri soners Guilty. SMITHFIELD MARKET, _ARCH l3.
