Lord HOWICK said, in explanation, that no in demnity could be given unless a strong case could be made out. . Sir PRIMP FRANCIS reprobated strongly the idea of giving an indemnity for giving up any profits arising from so disgraceful a traffic. Mr. ROSCOE spoke a few words in favour of the claims of compensation. Mr. R. THORNTON opposed all idea of compensa tion. The Stave Dealers had already got twenty years . ' notice that the-Trade was to be abolished, and yet they had the effrontery to ask compensation. After a few words from - Mr. SPENCER STANHOPE and Mr. MosT,o , the question was put; when Mr. Scarlett, the' .2.ounsel, was called in, and in formed that the House had negatived the Motion for bearing further evidence. On the Motion of Lord HOWICK, the Debate on the Bill was postponed till Monday.

BUCHAREST, DEC. 31.—0 n the 12th, 1200 Turks, under MEHEMET BARAICTAR, arrived here. On the 13th, the Russian Consul was brought to Rudschuclo. On the 14th and 15th, 20,000 Turks ar rived here, and immediately advanced against 15,000 Russians at Focksan. On the 23d they came to an ac tion at Grodau, in which the Turks lost 600 men and, on the 27th, the Russian Gen. MICHELSON and Prince YPSILANTI entered *the ,city. On the 2gth Gen. MICHELSON ,broke up from hence to march to Albania by way of Widdin. TURKISH FRONTIER, JAN. W.—The Russians un der General MICHELSON have taken possession of the three provinces of Moldavia, Bessarabia, and Wallachia. They drive all the Turks they meet be fore then'. It seems as if the Russians intend to pass the Danube near Krajowa, and establish themselves in Servia. The Turks in Bosnia have already taken up arms against the. Russians. The Servians evacu ated the Austrian War Island, upon the Danube, on" the night ofthe 6th. NAPLES, JAN. ,t6.-- , -The Russians raise a number of Greek recruits in Albania, Epirus, and the.

The arrival of Couriers to the French and Russian Envoys is very frequent. Count RASUMOUSKY has also received a Courier from Gen. MICI*ELSON, which announces his complete possession of Moldavia and Wallachia, Gyurger only continuing to hold out. The Ayan of Rudschuck attempted to impede the progress .of the Russians, but he was defeated,. with considerable loss. CIESAR BEItTHIEit, brother to the French Minister of War, accoMpanied by two Ad jutants from Italy, has passed through 'this city on his way to the Grand Army.

The army cantoned near the Carpathian mountains advances gradually towards Galicia. The English• Squadron near Constantinople is an obstacle to ,the arrival of Turkish troops from Asia. FROM THE DANUBE, JAN. 25.—The Hungarian Papers make the number of Russians in Moldavia, &c. amount to 100,000 men. If this statement.be corre&, they must have some objea in view ,more important than the possession of these provinces. FROM THE MAIN, FEB. 3.—The Austrian regi ments in Bohemia have orders to tnarelt. A third part of the War Contribution imposed upon Munster bis been remitted. MAILS.

"WARSAW, JAN. 2g.—The details of the battle of Mohrincren are as follow : " The Marshal Prince of PONTE Coavo arrived at 'Mohringen, with the division of DROUET, on the sth of this month, at eleven o'clock in the morn ing, at the very moment when the General of Bri gade PAcTon was attacked, by the enemy. ‘, The Marshal Prince of PONTR Coavo ordered an immediate attack of the Tillage of Pfarresfelden, by a battalion of the ninth of light infantry. The Tillage was defended by three Russian battalions, which were supported by three others. • The Prince of PONTE Cogvo caused also two other battalions to march, to support that of the ninth. The anion was very sharp. The Eagle of the ninth regiment of light infantry was taken by the•Etierny ; but on the aspe& of the affront with which this brave regiment was on the point of being covered for ever, and from which meither viaory, nor the glory acquired in an hundred, 'combats, would have purified it ; the soldiers, ani bated with an inconceivable ardour ; precipitated themselves on the enemy, whom they routed, and tecovered their eagle. " In the mean while the French line; composed of the 8:h of the line, of the 27th of light infantry, and of the 94th, were formed, and attacked the Russian line, which - had taken its position on a rising ground. The fire of th e . musketry was \TIT brisk, sand at point blank distance. " At this moment General DUPONT appeared on the ,road, with the 32d and 06th regirhents. He turned the right wing of the enemy. A battalion Of the 32d rushed upon the enemy with its usual im petuosity, put them to flight, killing' several .of them. The only prisoners they made were those who were in the houses. The Russians were' pursued for two leagues, and were it not for the coming on of night, the pursuit would have been continued. Counts PAHLEN and GALLITZLN commanded the Russians. They left 1200 dead on the field of battle, and lost' 3'oo prisoners and several howitzers. ". " LAPLANCEIE, General of Brigade', distinguished himself. Th. loth Dragoons made a . fine charge against the Russian' infantry. It is not only the good - Condo& of the soldiers, and the talents of the Gene tals, which are most worthy of remark, but the ex pedition with which the troops broke up from their tantonthents, and performed a march which would be teckoned extraordinary for any other troops, without a man being missing in- the field of •battlei:- It is this 'which eminently distinguishes soldiersmhti - have no other impulse but that of honour... 't.. - " A Tartar is just arrived from-:Constantinople, which place he left on the ISt of this month. He has been dispatched to London by the Porte. " On the 30th of December, war with Russia had been solemnly proclaimed. The-Pelisse and the Sword had been sent to . the Grand Vizier. Twenty eight Regiments of Janissaries set out far Constan tinople : several others passed from Asia to Europe. " The Ambassador of Russia, his wh9le suite, all the. Russians in that . City, and all the Greeks be longing to them, to the amount of seven or eight hundred, quitted Constantinople on the 2gth. c' The . English Minister, and the two English Men of War, remained speEtators of these- events, and appeared to wait for orders frorri• their Gov ern Went.' . a The Tartar passed through Widdin the 15th of January. He found the roads covered with troope,. who marched with alacrity against their eternal enemy; 60,000 men were already at Rodschuk, and 55,000, composing the advanced guard, were be tween that town and Bucharest. The Russians halt ed at Bucharest, which they occupied with an ad vanced guard of 15,000 men. " Prince Suzzo was proclaimed Hospodar of Wallachia. Prince YPS/LANTI was proclaimed a traitor and a price set upon. his head. i‘ The Tartar met the Persian Ambassador half Way between Constantinople and Widdin, and the . Ambassador Extraordinary from the Porte beyond that town. _ _ _ " The victories of Pultusk and Golymin were at teady known in the Ottoman Empire. The Tartar Courier had heard the news from the Turks before be arrived at .Widdin. " The Thermometer continues at two or three degrees below 0. It is the most favourable .scasou for the Away." ANTICIPATION OF THE DENMARK MAIL. DUE ON SUNDAY` LAST. ST. PETTIRSBURGH, JAN. 121.--The Turkiih for tress of Akierman is taken.

These who refuse to take the oath are allowed a fOrttlight to preparelor leaving the country; sixty-seven only have refused. 8V411.111, FEB. 7.—According to the latest ae counts the Telegrepk asserts, hostilities have already (ornmenced between tito Turks and Russians. People tatter themselves, at Constantinople, that the En:. IT is with the utmost pleasure we announce to our Readers the Capture 'of the' valuable Island of Curacoa. We stated some time ago that the in habitants of that Island had egpressed a wish to put themselves under the prote&ion of Great Britain, in consequence of which an Expedition was fitted out at Jamaica, consisting of four Frigates, under the command of Captain BRISBANE, and a body of land forces ; and this morning, at six o'clock, Capt. LYDIARD, of the "Jason Frigate, arrived at the Admiralty with the intelligence of the 'surrender of the ISland. It is satisfaaory to know that this valuable acquisition was made with very little loss on our side. The Squadron dispatched by Admiral DACIIES consisted' of the Arethusa, Latona, 'loon, and gird Frigates, and the Capture was effeaed in the most gallant manner. Fort Amsterd6, which mounted 64 . guns, was stormed with very little .loss on our part, and a Dutch Frigate and two Sloops of War were carried by boarding. The whole of our loss consisted of three men killed and wounded ;' that of the Enemy to near 200. Near 300 prisoners arrived at Jamaica on the 10th ult. in the Anson Frigate. The Colours taken were brought to the Admiralty this morning by Capt. LYDIARD. The Park and Tower Guns were fired on the oc- casion: • The following interesting particulars are extra Bed from a private Letter : " Having been with Admiral DACaES both when the news arrived, and several, times since, I will state what I colleEted of one of the most gallant and surprising coups-de-main on record ; I mean the Capture of Curagoa, a place deemed almost impreg nable on the sea face, but which Captain BRISBANE, with nearly unparalleled gallantry,' aided by 'good fortune equally uncommon, carried by storm in perhaps less than an hour, with the loss, I b2lieve, of but three men " The entrance of the Harbour,. which is not so - . Wide as the length of three Ship:;,, was getended by Batteries ofamazing strength, and a Frigate moored - chains across it; and if once entered; it is ;a passible to get out with the same wind.--= Captain' BRISBANE determined, however, to make the attempt, and having arranged his plan at Aruba, which was for the Ship's to enter in a close line, himself leading, and the others following, ac cording to seniority, I,vithdireaions to each Captain to head their men, in boarding or scaling, what evcr, might be necessary, he arrived at . the des, tined • place at daylight on. New Vear's Day.— When he c_got round the, point of the har bour, the , wind became. so unfavourable that the Ships could not fetch in ; bat to return was impossible ; it was too late. ' What a trying moment ! At that moment, however, there came on - a squall; in which the wind shifted two points in their favour. They then entered close to gether, in the order specified, viz. the Aretkusa,, Capt. BRISBANE, the Latona, Capt. WOOD, the Anton, Capt. LYDIARD, and the Fisgarct, Capt. BOLTON. " Capt. BRISBANE, in his dress uniform, was the first man both on board the Dutch Frigate, which he laid'alongside, and in Fort Amsterdam, where they. were so completely taken . by surpriie, not - believing such an attempt could ever be made, that they had scarcely time to fire their guns before he got in, and the Frigate was soon carried, as well as the Fort; seine of the Anson's men, with iron crows, having forced open the sea-gate, 'whilst others were esca lading. " In the mean time a party of the Fisgatcl's people swam ashore, and stormed a Battery on the other side of the Harbour, driving the Garri son to another sttonger Battery behind, which was . also carried. " By about eight o'clock the whole Town and Lower Works were in our possession ; but they were completely commanded by a Fort on a high and almost inaccessible bill, which the Commodore direEted 300 men to attack in the rear. ‘, He then returned to his Ship, and wrote a Summons, on the Capstern-head, giving them only two minutes to deliberate; on the receipt of which they surrendered, so that by noon our fine fellows were in complete possession of, this most valuable Island." Paris Papers to the 13th inst. reached' town last night, which contain 'the iJsth Bulletin of the French Army, which. states 'n the most- positive 'manner that the Russian Embassy had left Constantinople. We have - nmv little doubt of the truth of this state ment : the circumstance of: Lord CoLLNGWOOD having reinforced the Squadron cruizing off the Dar danaes, which we mentioned on Thursday, con vinced us that French intrigue and stratagem had . succeeded in gaining a decided ascendancy over the weak and wavering Councils of the Porte. There was a floating report this day th;t, the Aus trians had joined the Russians to the amount of seventy thousand men, but we could not trace it to any authentic source. In consequence' of orders from the Admiralty, Vice-Admiral Sir JAMES SALIMAREZ bas sailed with his division of the Channel 'Fleet from Torbay, to cruize off Brest. It was apprehended that the French would avail themselves of the opportunity of our Squadron's being blown off their coast to attempt their escape: The Indefatigable Frigate, which has arrived ,at Plymouth in a dismasted state, reports, " that the Enemy's force in Brest consists of twelve Sail of the line and four Frigates,, which were all in a condition for sailing at a moment's yarning, and in evident expeßation of an opportunity." The following story is stated in some 'of the Pa pers, said to be on the authority of a' Russian Officer arrived with dispatches. "On the 31st day or De cemb'er, 'five days after the battle of Pultusk, BONA- PARTE ordered two regiments of his own Guards to make. an' attack upon one of the Russian out-posts; whiCh they declined. This refusal so exasperated him, that he ordered the two regiments to be imme diately shot. They were accordingly surrounded by several other regiments, and every man of the two regiments was put to death. The Russian Officer declares that he was told this anecdote by a person who - declared that he had been an eye-witnesS of this shocking scene ! ! !" Music.—The Annual ,Concert for the benefit of the New Musical Fund took place on Thursday last, in the Great RoOm at the King's Theatre. The Band was led by CRAMER, who,. with all the principal Performers, generously contributed their efforts On. this occasion to support an excellent Institution. BaAttAn, Mrs. ASHE, Mrs. BIANCHI, and Signor NALDI, manifested their liberal feelings on this oc casion, and to the honour of CATALANI we record. with pleasure that she gave it the support of her powerful talents. They all seemed to be animated in the cause. YANIEVITZ particularly distinguished himself by his Violin Concerto. DEZI, by his skill on the Harp, and SMITH, by a Concerto on the Clarionet, enriched the general repast. The Room overfldWed with people of the first distinAion, and the Institution never before had so profitable a night. THE ORATORIO.—The beautiful Serenata of Ads and Galatea was performed last night, at Covent garden Theatre, in an admirable manner. The third A& consisted of Miscellaneous Music, in which BaAnAm introduced a new Air, entitled The Battle of Maida. It was well composed, and delighttidly sung. Mrs. DICKONS would have been better in The Soldier tir'd, if she had not given somefritter ing interpolltions in'the latter part of it ; a liberty that should not be taken w 4 . -11 such a Composer as ARNE, particularly in a son , - in which ha has af forded such ample scope for the vocal powers.
