vUSCIVItICIO/111 on the administration Ot nIS peo.6 ple j that thus attacked by Russia, he had been forced to repel arms by arms, but that he had then flattered himself that a generous Prince, that a nation so en lightened as Great Britain, would appreciate these sa crifices; and that after having testified to the Sublime Porte its satisfa6tion at the re-establishment of the Hospodars, that, before two months were elapsed, the Minister of the same Power would not have declared that this compliance liad been too tardy; that thus the Minister of England had manifested, in a short time, different opinions and opposite intentions ; that it is a mere mockery to cite, as a proof of French in fluence, the facility with which every thing has been done that England wished for; that Sultan Sew?! c annot but appeal to the magnanimity of the Sove reign of Great Britain; that, constrained to repel force by force, the Sublime Porte hopes, with the assist anceuf the Almighty, that she shall triumph over the most unjust of aggressions; and that if at length she must sink, she will perish in defending her ca pital ; and that the English nation, more than any other, will experience irreparable damage from the disasters of the Ottoman Empire ; that this Empire exists by the will of the great and merciful God; and that if such be the divine will, from the very de spair, to which Sultan SELIM has been reduced, will result the necessary energy for the defence of the State. It is said, that. several times during this speech the REIS-EFFENDI could not contain his emotion ; and that it was on going out from this conference, that the English Minister got on board the Endymion Frigate, ordered the cable to be cut, and recommend ed the English w'hom he left at Constantinople to the Care of the Danish Minister, and even to the inter vention of the French Ambassador, well persuaded, the latter would be far from imitating the conduct adopted by the English at the time of the expedition into Egypt, and would consent to recommend the merchants of his nation to the Sublime Porte : a step which in fad took place. 'The resolutions of the Emperor SELINE, and his Position under these circumstances, are worthy of attention. Every great and generous mind put up vows for the success of his cause. A levy of 200,0 - 00 Men has just been ordered throughout this Empire. PASSWAN O GLOU i s d e ad. The Servians -have concluded peace with the Porte. The Pacha of Widdin and Ismael, and the army of Rudschtlek, are on the point of entering Wallachia. The English goods, throughout the'States of the Grand Seignior, have just been laid under -seques tration. BUDA, .MAttCli 3.—They write from Widdin, that, during the course of January, the Turks had the advantage in several engagements with the Rus.:- clans. Since the unexpeCled invasion of the Russian . troops, they ha ve b een o b liged to make considerable detachments Wreinforce their army in Poland, so that their number had considerably diminished previous to those engagments. The Russians have not yet been able to cross the river Alta. Those whohad appeared Upon the banks of the Danube, having been several tittles overthrown, concentrated themselves in the environs of Bucharest. The corps of Ciurgewo ver ceases to harass them : after having beat them a few leagues Itoin the town, it compelled them to rett.:at. Another engagement took place near Lim nitza,.a village upon the hanks of the Danube : the Russians were beat with loss, so that Bucharest is in ;;.,Tanner blockaded, the whole country being occu- Pied by the Turks. GlußGEwo, FEB. 15.—The Russians, after hay ing suddenly entered IVloldavia,,which was destitute of troops, advanced to Bucharest, before the Porte had_ any time to. assemble its force; but Mustapha BA'. s BA cToR h a i which corp sent into Wallachia '20,000 men, nu merous will be' followed by still mor e nu troops, and has gained several advantages .over the Russians.

INTERCEPTED LETTER OF THE RUSSIAN MINISTER FOR FOREIGN AF'AIRS, TO COUNT ITALINSKI, MINISTER PLENIPOTENTIARY TO THE PORTE. SIR, ". When,, by order of his Imperial Majesty, I sent You the Messenger KOULIVCHKOWSKY, the rime necessary to receive your answer was calculated here, and means prepared at the same time to obtain, in a different manner, the results which the constantly amicable representations of our august Court with the sublime Port bad not presented us with. The Messenger might have returned by the Ist of Otto her 2. and, as we had no news of him at that time, b L i s Majesty had reason to conclude that the P orte ad given you no satisfaetory answer; or, at least, 'lt hat she attempted to prolong the negotiation,. in or rti ' r to ga i n time, and prepare means of resistanc e concert with the common Enemy. Although s e riit her the one nor the other of these hypothe ses A,llla. re with the essential interests of his Imperial al e ' stY he would not, however, hurry any thing 43rw ard• and still flattering himself that Sultan B EI4 rq would at length perceive, on the one side, the r e peated proofs of hi s M a j es ty' s mo der a ti on and ° YaltY—and, on the other, the snares laid for him A d the Sul tan ) b y M i n i sters little worthy of the,con ence of their Sovereign—his Majesty d e ter m i ne d to delay to the 15th of OCtober all further measures; persuaded that if, about this time, advices did not arrive from you, no doubt was entertained of the existence of one of these pre-supposed causes. ~ , 1 It was n o t w i t h out a pa i n f u l f ee li ng t h at hi s I "iesty saw the term fixed on draw near without any intelligence whatever concerning the result Porte, to throw light on the proceedings which henceforth the Imperial Court was tb follow , with regard to it. ! "In this state of uncertainty there was no Other resolution left for the Emperor to adopt than to fbl low, with firmness and perseverance, the 'plan which his Majesty had previously traced out for tlie mainte nance of his dignity and rights, as well as to lead Wok the Porte, by an extraordinary commotion, to the only principles which the most positive interests commanded her invariably to follow. In conse queace, General MmHgLsow, Commander in Chief of the Army on the Dniester, received orders to en ter Moldavia—not as an enemy, as malevolence will not fail to cause him to be looked on—with the sole intention of re-establishing the old relations which have so long subsisted between the two Em pires, in pursuance of treaties, to prevent the per . vicious of etas Of the French domination which pre vails at Constantinople, and which ,threatens the Porte with a total servitude ; and finally, to paralize _the designs loudly given out by SEBASTIAN!, to cause a French Army to cross the Ottoman Empire, in order to attack us on the Dniester. Such were the pressing motives for the orders given to General dated•the 16th of Odober. 'Such was _also the sense and spirit of those orders which this General was to publish from the time of his en trance into Moldavia, both with the Government of that Principality, that of Wallachia, and with the, different Paellas commanding fortresses on the Dniester and the Danube. " Eight days after the expedition of these orders, i. e. the 23d of Odober, we received your relations of the 6-18th of the same Month, by which • you state the re-instatement of the Princes Moßouzi and Yest L ANTI, confining yourself to this simple informa-. tion, withoilt entering into the least detail on any thing which might enlighten the Imperial Ministry concerning circumstances of this nature. Whatever might have been the desire of the Emperor, our au gust Master, to revoke, from this time, the orders given to General MICHELSON, his Imperial Majesty ,has -thought it to be his duty to wait the further eclaircissements stated in yOur Report of the 6-18th of 'Oaober, in order to obtain a more positive and .detailed data concerning subje6ts of so important a nature, and to be enablial to take measures in con 'sequence. On these results we received your dif ferent dispatches of the it-23d 06tober. Ido not conceal from you, Sir, that by their contents hislm perial Majesty has not observed, without grief and surprise, that in such a crisis you should have con ceived it your' duty to confine yourself .to the mere re-instatement of the Princes. . 44 Whatever be the interest that, under so many considerations, the Emperor has been forced to take in' maintaining, with regard to the Porte, this part of his rights, you cannot, however, Sir, be ignorant, that they are not the only ones which, his Majesty is well entitled to claim ; and that, besides, the prin cipal end the Imperial Court has in view being to ascertain, in a positive manner, the dispositions. of the Porte, this single and naked demonstration, car ried into effeal with so bad a grace, cannot suffice to atThrd us, in this respeCt, that guarantee which we hold to be indispensible. Who can answer to us, in fa6t, that this partial satisfaCtion has not been giVen to us by the Porte in consequence of advice even of our common Enemies ? The different conferences which the Ambassador SEBA.S . TIANI had with IBRA HIM KIAYA, and the other Ministers of the Pthrte, in the course of this negotiation, plead but too much in favour of this supposition. , " Let us suppose, .for a moment, that the dis missal of the Hospodars .had been the only griev ance which we had to chargo the Porte with : bow, even in this case, could we rely with certainty upon the strict and 'full execution of the reparation . which the Imperial Court has just ,Obtained, after the more than equivocal tergiversation of ,Prince Mortoesi, and in the sad state which Wallachia is reduced to, the finest part of which is invaded by the troops of PAS WAN OGLOU, without the Porte appearing to have either the intention or the necessary means to represS these disorders ? Were it then only under the latter consideration, his Majesty cannot be satisfi e d with the satisfaiiion gived i • before he be assured that it will have its full effect ; and it is for this purpose that the presence of the Russian troops must effica ciously contribute to restore to the two Principali ties,- particularly Wallachia, that state of calmness and security whibh the Imperial Court has guaran teed to them by the most solemn transaetions. You very well comprehended, that it is not the per sons of the Hospodars, Mottoes' and YPSILANTI, 'that essentially interest the Imperial Court, but the tranquillity and welthre of the two Principalities in trusted to their administration. It is thence that en sues the obligation which Russia is under of sup 'porting an order of things which was only establish ed by her intervention, and u n d er her auspices ; and she can no longer tolerate the vexations.with which I',SSIVAN OGLOU and other Ayans,. Rpproxi mate to Wallachia,' overwhelm t hat unfortunate pro vince, without essentially derogating from whit she owes to herself. " Independent of these considerations, which re late exclusively to the two Principalities, there are others which would not allow his Imperial Majesty to look upon the satisfaktion which he has just ob , , tained as a sufficient pledge of the sincerity of the Porte in her return to the principles which have occasioned our remonstrances. Not to repeat again the new grievances set forth,in.tny dispatch of the 26th of August, I shall confine myself to the re capitulating the principal ones, without the redress of which his Imperial Majesty will never think he can -rely upon the friendly dispositions of the Porte towards him with a 'security which the safety of his States requires, combined with the present situation of general affairs. " The pretension of attempting to hinder the passage of his Majesty's Ships of War and Transports through the Canal of Constantinople, and the re iterated difficulties which the Porte has thought pro per to manifest upon recent occasions, but too evi dently demonstrate the blind submission of the Turkish Government to the will of Fraoce; and the incalculable deviations into which these dispositions may lead it, since it no longer respeas the most solemn Treaties. To obtain in this respe& a gua rantee proportionate to the importance U'lliCh we ought to place in the preservation Of our, right of Passage, throhgh the Canal, his Imperial Majesty thinks it his duty to demand a solemn and authentic declaration, by which the Porte shall oblige herself- un- never and in no case in der any pretext whatsoever, " Another objet to which the IMperial Cdart Must attach equal importance, is the renewal of the Treaty of Alliance between the Porte and Great Britain-. The motive which makes his Imperial Majesty wish that this renewal may' place as soon as possible is, moreover, only a consequence of his dispositions, constantly friendly, towards the Sublime Porte, and oldie 'solicitude with which. his Majesty endeavours to •obtain the independence and tegrity of the Ottoman Empire ; for if, on the one side, it is evident that the Porte would thereby free itself :for a long time from the despotic influ ence of the French Government, it is not less so on the other, that in persisting in her refusal to the British - Government, she might at length provoke the resentment of .a Power wh'ose great maritime means would not fail to beaOme fatal to her.' "To sum up the Contents of this dispatch, which I have the hOirobr to address to you by the express order of our august Sovereign, you will observe that his Imperial Majesty Cannot think the relations ex isting between Russia and the Ottoman Empire aS replaced upon their ancient bases, but • " 1. When the rights and prerogativeS sectred to the Principalities of Moldavia 'and Wallachia, by the different stipulations relative thereto, shall be re.estahlishod in their full force and vigour, and that, namely ; the latter of these Provinces shall be delivered from the Rebels which lay it waste, by the care of the Porte, 'or by his Majesty's - troops, and that at the sarne'time its tranquillity and future • welfare shall be anfEciently guaranteed by the esta blishment of a national force capable of defending the Province against its neighbours of the Danube. " 2. When the Porte shall have formally renounced the intention of robStruaing, under any pretence Whatever, the passage of his Majesty's Ships of War and Transports through the Bosphorus. " 3. When she shall have renewed her - Treaty of Alliance with England. You are charged, Sir, to make these different de mands come to the knowledge of the Grand Seignior thro' the channel which shall appear to you most pro per, and not to let his Highness he ignorant of ;di the importance which our august Sovereign attaches to their being duly received by him. But you will take care at the same time to assure Sultan SELIM, in the most positive manner, that it is with great repug nance the Emperor has been under the necessity of having recourse to the military occupation of the two Principalities ; and that this determination, far from concealing any hostile intention against the Ot toman States, has no other aim than those declared here above, but still more particularly the ardent de sire of his Imperial Majesty to be so much the more able to baffle the projeas of invasion which the French Government has ever manifested at the ex- • pence of Turkey, and which, in the present con juneture, in which BONAPARTE will, no doubt, avail himgelf of the pretext of the reinstatement of the Hospodars, might soon be on the eve of being •• put in execution. In general, you will omit nothing to convince the Sultan SELIM more and more of the constancy of the sentiments of friendship and consi deration which the Emperor has vowed to hirn, ad ding, that his Majesty will only watt the accession of the Porte . to the just demands which you are in struded to address to her by the present, to give her anew the most unequivocal proofs of it. , From that time his Majesty would testify the greatest rea diness to arrange the different other points in con test ; the intimate relations, which have so happily subsisted for many years past between , St.• Peters burgh and Constantinople, will be re-established up on a mole solid basis than ever ; and, assuredly, both Empires can only gain by it, in every respe&. !'€ The more to consolidate so happy a state of things, his MAJESTY will be ready to receive the Minister whom Sultan SELIM shall judge proper to send him, to prove in the eyes of all Europe an ac commodation which shall - complete the wishes of his Imperial Majesty-, and the ha ppy results of which will thenceforth subsist without it appearing necessary that the Porte shoUld accredit here a per- ; manent Minister. " You will be kind enough, Sir, to acquit your self of the dilie\ent offices which the present dis patch prescribes- to you, With the least possible de lay, and to inform me in like manner of the result of your steps, that I may give an exata account of them to his IMperial Majesty. " I have the honour to be, with very distinguish ed consideration, Sir, yoUr very humble and most obedient servant, (Signed) " A. DE BUDBERG.". " St. Peter.lturgh, Nov. is, 1806." [This Ministerial Dispatch is followed by a private letter from Baron Bunzßac- to Count ITALINSKI, which more fully evinces the apprehensions thin the approach of the Frencli - armies occasions to Russia, and the danger which would result front their union, with the Ottoman force]. Lately died, aged 81, Mr. John Warrington, many years a whitestnith in Ironmonger's-street, hi Stamford. He had amassed considerable property, whiCh he has by his will ordered to be distributed in the following manner 8001. 3 per cent. an nuities to the poor in three callises, 1001. to the Blue-coat School, and 301. for the repair of St. Michael's Church, all in Stamford. To his sister, who is blind and in a workhouse at Bath, he has bequeathed t 001. ; and annuities of 801. a year to each of two brothers, to whom he scarcely ever gave sixpence in his life-time, although one was in an alms-house at Liddington, in Rutland, and the other in a workhouse in Stamford ; and notwith standing they are both old men, each being nearly eighty years of age, the testator has espe cially provided that if either of them marries the annuities shall no lcager be paid to them.

In endeavouring to give our Readers" a full, yet con cise, account of the exploits of this season, we have only to lament that our space precludes us from giv ing to each Pack their circumstantial merits, bLing, content to furnish the keen sportsman with such a clue as may lead him to choose his head-quarters for next winter's campaign. We shall begin Northward', and here the rival Packs of Lord DARLINGTX)N; NaSTERMAN SiKEti, and Mr. Fox LANE, have each respective merits, as well as their particular admirers. Lord DARLINGt'IN brings to the cover-side a pack of Fox-hounds, no t only complete in themselves, but bred with extraordinary care as to the country they are to hunt. His men areexcellently mounted, and it were almost unnecessary to add, that his:Lord ship himself rides only those which are known for bottom as well as blood. No man rides better, and yet the thirst for blood, so apt to get the whip-hand of a Foklhunter, is most particularly destructive of this Nobleman's fame. A cap or hat of; and a halloo, sutlers the busy working of the hound to be destroyed, and the sagacious nose of the animal is from the ground turned to the sky. Nevertheless, the Haby HUnt has to boast of an assemblage of the first men of fashion and fortune, who always confess themselves to be highly gratified by the sport, as well as the civility and hospitality of the Earl. of DAALINGTON. Sir M. M. Syies, who has no mean rivals to contend with, yet more than divides the palm with the Nobleman above-named.—On the Wolds of Yorkshire ; he may be said to run in a style inferior to no .man, and of this a large field of well-mounted Sportsmen may serve as proof, by the punalual at tendance which they give to his well-established Hunt. Mr. Fox LANE, take him for all in all, may bid defiance to all his neighbours. Hounds as high mottled as the riders who follow them, fly, over the Wolds with a speed not to be exceeded-, Which- in their cold hunting, may be found the most perfe& system which the sagacity of the animal can furnish. Every keen sportsman will 'find, in point of riding, such play-mates in this hunt as will not leave thew The Earl of FITZWILLIAM,. Who also hunts part of the season in Northamptonshire, cannot be better noticed than in this place. His, hounds are very long established, and have more country, as well as, more foxes, than perhaps any other pack whatsoever. It is no uncommon thing for this pack to kill 80 brace ofefoxes in a year—they are very large and powerful, and, upon a burning scent, they seldom miss. They are, perhaps, a littld.too high in blood to please the true Sportsman, more particularly when they are seen in Northamptonshire, in the neigh bourhood of such distinguished rivals. Lord VERI•ZON'S very old established pack, and of no small merit in these days of refinement, meet with little or no notice. The Doke of RUTLAND, Sir. J. HEATHCOTE, and the Leic'estershire Hunt how bear 'the 'belle —con tested only by the Pytchley' Hunt.—Ot these I pro pose giving you a full account, and in the meanwhile must say, that I shall but torget to notice Sir 'filo- AS MO sT YN, as well as Al r. Co Rin:TT'S pack.-=--The Duke of GRAFTON'S old established 'pack, although they have, perhaps, the best huntsmen in England, yet from his Grace being now seldom out, are hardly worth a sportsman's trouble, as they are but scantily attended, except by Farmers, where there is little punctuality, and less civility, under the present ma nagement ( To be contin u ed.) --„ The Earl of DERBY turned out a deer yesterday, for the last time this season ; after which all the Gentlemen partook of a grand dinner at the Grey hound, at Carshalton.' On Monday last George Allen, conviaed at the Stafford Assizes of the wilful murder of three of his children, at Upper Mayfield, on the 12th of Ja nuary, underwent the awful punishment so justly annexed to the horrid crime of murder ! He ap peared sensible of his dreadful situation,. and earnest ly entreated the spetators to take warning by his fate. A Lady, at the west end of the town, is well known to be in the habit of purchasing 6ix Shares of Tickets in every State Lottery, for the purpose, as she declares, of indulging in the pleasures of imagination respe&ing the good she would do with the money in case Fortune threw a portion of a large Prize into her lap. We know not if this Lady bas hitherto re i ►lized lier imaginations ; but there is such an amiable principle in this ,condua, that we sincerely wish she may participate - of some one of the many Capital Prizes with which the present State Scheme, now so near at issue, unprecedent edly abounds.
