The march of a RuSsian army into Moldavia and Bessarabia indicates fresh movements in the Turkish Empire; and if the intimations given in the last ac counts from Venice, of a refrattory spirit sliewing in the 'Asiatic Provinces of that Empire, may be ' relied on, the period is not fur distant when a cotn plete dismemberment will fake place bet w e.en the Eu ropeau and Asiatic dominions of the. Grand Seignior. As the eastern provinces controul, in,a.great mea sure, the decisions 'of the true Musselmen in all mat ters of faith, so they equally prevail in all matters of policy ; the consequence wher eo f w ill probably,be the restoration of the Sultan SELIM to that part of his dominions, and Turkey in Europe will fall an easy prey to Russia and France. A discovery was lately made at Tynesnoutli,,well worthy. the further investigation of the curious mi neralogist. In the rock at that place, on which the .light-house stands,. several pieces of lead ore were found ; and on blasting a small part of the rock, five veins of remarkably fine lead ore were discovered. It appears that coal has lately been found in great abundance in many parts of America. The strata el coal in Virginia lie near the surface of the earth, arid are very thick. One stratum was lately dis covered of the astonishing thickness of, -42.- feet, and so neat the surface, that the earth is merely taken of, -and the owl dug out , witbOut under- iftthli FR&VCH i•, f .. .

At all events,' it Will afford room for import ant speculations. The conclusion of the peace at Tilsit has glitady given a movement to the corhmer cial opet'atioris of this place ;. and we : are led to hope .that trade will soon begin to rouse itself from the lethargy into which the war had plunged it. It is remarked also, that there is a great conflux of strangers of all ranks to the waters in - our neigh bourhood as well 'as a continual thoroughfare of in dividuals' who are going to France, either on diplo matic'errands, or on pleasure; all this increases our hopes of seeing Frankfort as 4rilliaut, and its coin+ merce as a&ive, as heretofore. On the other hand, the ru-establishment of a`Con iimmtal Peace has produced a sensible effed upon all those articles for which Russia has a•demand : no thing'now opposes the free communication of the commercial places of France and the West of Ger many, with Poland and Riissia,where speculations of otery kind are resumed with those countries. Many merchants who were in habitual intercourse with the latter,. have already dispatched their travelling agents for that 'country ; and it is certain that those who shall arrive first will succeed best in their speculations. The merchants of Leipsic have also exerted them selves to renew their engagements with Russia. Among the articles of which the price is raised, we remark particularly wools of all kinds, of:which the sale has bithertO been very sleek, and for which there are now many vents at the same time. The price of silks is also increased for the same reason. Cottons became scarce. This is principally attri buted to the interruption of our communications from the Levant, from whence we cannot at this moment get those articles. There has been lately a general fall in the price of colonial produce, with which we are abundantly supplied. , , EXPOSITION- OF THE STATE OF THE FRENCH • EMPIRE. itattowys WORSHIP. To the Members of the Clergy in general, the Government has to testify the highest satisfatlion ; never did pure manners, a tolerant piety; great disintereOrdness a constant application to their.du• ties, preidaiteihigher 'degree among all ranks of the Hierarchy. Incessantly occupied in the noble task assigned them, the amendment of, public and Private morals, a tlicy are sensible that obedience. to the laws is ab essential branch both of the one and of the other; and that of all•laws, that which bus for its objel the defence of the State, is the most sacred ; that it is a law whose prompt and cam , plete es i ecution is most strongly recOmmended, both by religious sentiments and the spirit of patri otism. The different religions authorised in the Empire, maintain an union worthy of the spirit which is common to them all, and honourable to their Mi nisters. ISRAB;,ITES. From the Departments bordering' en the Rhine, general complaints have reached the Emperor re speCting the usury praaised by certain individuals professing the Jewish religion. .An investigatitp of the fitas haS proved that the fruit of this usury would have entirely consumed the riches and the resources of those. beautiful Provinces. The Em peror found it necessary to calm the just apprehen sions of so many thousands of farmers : but while he applieda partial, and instantatieoui remedy, he formed a more vast conception, and of mote durable influence ; he beheld, in ancient habits, and in the false interpretation of certain points of doctrine, the primary cause of the evil which had excited these complaints. - In order to avoid the necessity of perpetuating either precautions or punishments, he resolved to re generate the manners of a portion of that class, by the concurrence of the wholeiclass, by the influ.; ence of the religious authority to whose law it sub mits. The Emperor knew thataamongthe Jews in his dominions there are great numbers of parsons whose opinions are sound, whose condua is irre proachable, who would be the first to deplore the misbehaviour of their brethren ; and so tsr froth confounding these worthy men with those who justly deserve the censure, he called the former to execute the measures which are to pavethe way to the reformation of the others. A .General Assetu bly has been held, and it has planned the regula tions of ' their police a Grand Sanhearim, an as sembly of which the Jews have not, for ages, be held an example, has proclaiwed their'religious ties. t • gas Solemnly decived,firsthat Ittiq lacy of Nlose*, liistead.6(authorising its . adherenti,to be come the itihabitauts t;f,a State, without atioriag its interests, without acknowledging its ,authorities, withrM Obeying . its laws, oh the conirary, prescribes to them sentiments of attachment to the ir . adoptive country; obedience to all its ittstitutioris ,and the duty of taking up arms in its. defence. .prdinancei will soon be issued to accomplish . this great work, to- regulate the exercise of 'the Hebrew I.yortihip.-- This retorts, which. Will c onstitute an epoch in the annals of. the Israelites, will furnish them with a subjes of everlasting.gratitude. The severity de. served by few individuals hits J)een ; the occasion of dispensing blessings to them all. The first bf these is, that:by preserving so them the name of French men; they will be rendered worthy of that appel lation. FINAKCOS. Such ate the improvements effected in the inter nal adritinistration of France since your list session ; bet the principal feature, that which more panicu- , lady, deserves'your notice, the state of our finances, is still'wanting. In no retied were: they se prospe rous, and during no interval so short has there been such . an improvement. The public exchequer has been delivered from die dependence on contractors, who made use of lis.a);.vn means for the purpose of its ruin. Mans, formerly so troublesome, have now beeorne easy; and are effe6led on very moderate terms ; the public treasury obtains discount at less than 5 per cent. of which there is no example under the ancient Monarchy. A distinct chest, appertain ing to the Treasury, serving for the transaction of business . with the acCOmptants and the public, affords them the facility of accelerating the payments t,hey have- to .make, and affords individuals a secure place of deposit, which stock -jobbing cannot affect. By means of this chest, without the interven tion of money, by employing in every place the re ceipts that have been given there, it may be pro cured where .the payments are to be made. • Its re sourses have increased beyond its wants. The an— cient Monarchy, in its prodigious loans, never found so fertile a mine ;, but never was there so little ne cessity 'for working it. The chests are full ; the payments are made to the appointed time ; orders upon the public exchequer have become the safest bills of exchange; the public effeas are those which, inspire the most confidence. • Such is the efie& of the first glatibets 6f the E mperor at the state of the finances, after his return from Vienna, and, of the attention whiCh he has be stowed on this important branch of administration ; andlet no impost has been added to those which previously existed; no tiew source of wealth has been opened for the Treasury; the commands and the foresight of the Chief of the Government have. alone effeded this astonishing amelioration. ROUEN, SEPT. infant child of M. Mus sET, Rue des Jul/S, vaccinated borne years ago, ey, perienced, about three weeks ago, an eruption which resembled very much the small-pox. The child was seen by meat of the Surgeons and Physicians of Rouen. Several persons, ddecived by the appear ances, spread a report that this eruption was the small-pa. Nothing is more false. Twelve chil dren have been twice inoculated with the ripest of the variolous pustules, and not one of the Children leas taken the small-pox. We are - astonished that the Vaccine Committee, several - IVlcrisbers of which have watched the progress of this disorder, *pre serve silence upon this important 1.10. It might be proper to publish the' experiments made upon this occasion, becaust they must be useful to hu manity, by proving, more and more, that the vac cine is a preservative against the sinall-pox.-- (Rouen Journal.) BAMBERG, SEPT. i.--A German Journal has proved, by a comparison of dates, that the Eng lish Ilinistera, at the moment they sent th e i r Expedition to Zealand, had not, by their own acknowledgement, any official or authentic in telligence' of" the new connexions which the Secret' Articles of the r preaty of :Tilsit may haveformed between France and Russia.-- The . departure of Admiral GAMBIER has been precipitated, merely upon a vague report, that Russia had, by viitue of a Treaty of Alliance sub sisting between ier and Denmark, demand e d a suc cour of .

THE TriATRE.—The Tragedy of lldelg►itha, which was so well received last season .at Drury lane Theatre, WO represented last night at that place aeo attreeted a . very numerous audience. Mrs.Powat.r., the heroine of the .piece, made her first:appearance for the season, and had a very flat tering reception. • She never appeared to more ad vantage than in this Tragedy, and her performance last: night was fully correspondent with her for Mer merit. Her excursion to Ireland seems• to have improved her health,. as she lonked remarkably The rest of the Characters were very well supported by Et.Larrow, firaittoea, and H. Sw amis, and the Play altogether was received with great applause.. In the afterpiece of The Poor Soldier, Madame Da Potcrt again appeared in the character of Patrick, and acted with more freedom and spirit than on the former 'fight. She gave the airs with lkimplicity 'and skill, and was very much applauded. Mra. Moutitatu also ebtaintd great applause for her. singing in Norais.

KELLY and his musical MHO, ROVEDINO and Moemi, have, it seems had a few discards since they have been . in Ireland. The latter refused, it i s said, to sing at KELLY'S benefit, unless he paid them twenty-five guineas each. As they had no such airs in this country, something must have happened hi .

About a week age two Gentlemen, near 'Faun. ton, lost each a valuable horse from the pasture; in the neighbourhood. After much trouble, they traced them in the dire4ion cif Btistel, and ituspeet ing that they might have strayed towards Kings. wood, they hastened thither, and, in their search, found one of them grazing on Coekroed Commom The Gentlemen seized the horse :—as it was late lit the evening they didliat think it prudent to bring it through the country, but led it to a oeighnooring Inn, secured it in the stable, and , bespoke supper and beds for the night. In the morning they diseovered that the stable door had been forced, and not only the stolen horse carried OW, but the two others which t4ey had used in the pursuit, with saddles and bridles all together Neither the horses nor the audacious felons have been since heard of, and the Gentlemen returning home, were congratulated by their friends, that they had not lost their boots and spurs. A most beautiful specimen of Roman elegance has lately been discovered at Wellow ; and by the in. terference of Colonel Leigh, of Combhay, together with the lord. of the manor, Colonel Gore Langton, will be prevented from suffering die injury and di.

What has been hitherto discoiered consists of a piece of Mosaic work, and. of sitely beautiful tesselated pavement, enriched with figures, in a high state of preservation ; and test scree of which preserve the most beautiful and vivid . colour. The dimensions are considerable; . and from what has been already found, it would appear that a very considerable portion yet remains to be eXplored. On Tuesday last the workmen had ex. posed a fresh piece of great beanty, and as perfect as , what had been previously laid ,open.
