CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov- ;E. t _tift English and Russian Ambassadors here 414 _/e had several conferences with the REts ErTRN, - 41. the subjetl of which is an Alliance which Eng: land and Russia wish to conclude with the Porte,. The latter, however, has not, as yet, -explicitly declared its- inteWtions. The French Chargl-d'- 4faires, Cititien Rut, lN, is treated here with the aighest respe&. A good Undertraniiing is again 'restored between the Turks and the English in Egypt, and the gar_ rison linty , of Alexandria is performed jointly by Troops of both Nations. The French Plenipotentiary, •RtfrFlN, has re teived advice, that the FIR , T CONSUL has commis. sioned Colonel SVBASTIAN/ to visit the strong Places, and the whole coast of the Levant, and make t report on their condition. , The Spanish Ambassador, the Chevalier CORRAL , aaving been insulted on a public walk, by a drunken ' lurk, complained to the proper Officers, and was ;Wired that he should receive the Stridest satisfac ! The delinquent is accordingly in close con.

The new Hospodar of Wallachia, Prince CON. 6i "tiNE YpsILANTI, made his public entry In 7 O.Bierhartit amidst a vast concourse of people, on the zad o f November. The Firman relative to tte imposts is translated into the Greek and Walla. thian Languages, arid its regulations will thus be generally known. ...Pribte YrsI&ANTI has sent to tritiinai aS his Clulrgii.diAffaires, Gitzdolot DMETRIus, a per *, of great political abilities : he, to.day, de li ver. ed his Credentials to our Minister, Count Cos ENT t.. the new Hospodar has sent to the GRAND StOlt:Oil 1000 purses, for the. relief of those who have been distressed by the late ravages of the CoWitty, and to pay the arrears of the Troops which ;had been detained by his Predecessor. The Earthquake, of the 26th of 041ober, was felt likewise in the Ctimea. At itfeuc-th it was seg. sibly felt in about 500 houses. The Dutchess Dowager of PARMA will, it is said, take pp her residence at P rai su, and retain only Ctermans in her service : she Will first, how.

This is the wish , of the French Go- Yernment ; arid it is indeed very acceptable here. Only the will he left standing. The report that the EMPEROR has ratified the access,. or plan of Indemnities, is not confirmed. AUGSBURG, DEC. 12. TR!

THE Portuguese Envoy Extraordinary to Rome, when he had his Audience of Entry of the POPE, congratulated his Holiness on his accesssion to the Papal Throne, and requested his blessing on , the Royal Family of Portugal, and the whole Portu. guese Kingdom. The French Envoy at Rome, Citizen CAcAtILT, Will, it is said, go in the same capacity to another Court. TUNIS, Ocr. 19. THE presents which the Tunisian Ambassador carries to Paris for Madame BONAPARTE, consist of two very elegant Moorish female dresses, richly embellished with diamonds. ,For the Fr MT CONSUL he carries ten beautiful horses, some lions, &c.

General STEW' Ai T, immediately on coining here, lint off Lord BI;ANTyIt e his Aid-de-Camp, to Cairo, with dispatches to A CHiiIET PACHA, by whom he was kindly received. The Paella presented him and the Officers who accompanied him, each with an elegant sabre, and sent a guard of Turkish soldiers to escort them down the Nile; on which several pirate boats had made 'their appearance since the overflowing of that river. They were fired upon by one of these boats without sustaining any injury. His Lordship then ordered the men' in his boat to fire over the pi- rates ; upon which they fled, andothe party were not disturbed during the 'remainder of their journey. On the return of Lord BtAMTYtta to Alexandria, we learnt the follow irig particulars relative co the war that has for sortie tithe been carried on between the Turks and the Mamelukes in Upper Egypt. Both parties having had several severe skirmishes, and being extremely harassed, they mutually agreed upon an armistice for some days. In this interval the perfidious Turks, disregarding the solemn en gagement they had entered into, formed the design of surprizing the camp of the Mamelukes by night, and Offing every man of them to the sword. In the mean time, the Mamelukes were informed of the whole plan by an Arab : and as soon as the night appointed for this work of treachery arrived, they silently retired from their camp, and formed an ambuscade. When the Turks arrived, and found ' the camp deserted, they immediately began to plunder. During that scene of disorder and con fusion which soldiers so employed must necessarily be in, they were suddenly attacked by the Mame lukes ; and not a soul of them escaped. There were not twenty of the assailants killed. The Turks acknowledge the loss of zOOO ; but it is thought that this falls very far short of the real number destroyed on the oceasion: This disaster, together with the report that the English were going to declare War against them, has very much damped the spirits of the Turks at Cairo. The departure of Lord CAVAN, who sailed from this place on the loth instant, is moth regretted by every officer and individual in the gaiiison: When his Lordship was going to embark, he was attended to the beach by most of the Officers. He was pre ceded by four troops of the 26th Light Dr a goons, with trumpets sounding, and received on the beach (where boats waited to convey him to the !hind Sloop of War) by two companies of the loth Regi ment of Foot, with their band playing, and was saluted by the usual number of guns from the forts, and by all the Turkish and English Ships in the harbour. Colonel De DULEIt, of the Regiment Di Roll, 'wild commanded the Foreign Brigade here, is dead, regretted by his friends, and the whole Army ; he was buried with all the honours due to his rank ; the procession was very grand and solemn ; the Coffin was carried on men's shoulders ; Colonel BERESFORD, of the 88th, Colonels BARLOW and SAUNDERS, of the 61st, Colonel GoAbort, of the 26th Light Dragoons, Colonel LAIRD, of the 54th, and Capt. DorsEtLY, of the Narcissus Frigate, were pall-bearers. His own Regiment marched in front, with arms, four field pieces followed, then the Corpse, after which came on Wattville's, Dillon's, &c. with side arms, which were followed by the Officers of the English Regiments, according to their rank: When the procession began near Porn. pey's Pillars where he died, minute guns were fired f r om Fort Caffarelli; until it arrived at the Catholic Convent, where he was interred. The whole ended with three rounds of musketry, and three of the field pieces Virectnesdak 'horning an affair of honour was adjusted on Lansdown, near Bath, in con,sequence of a dispute which took place on the preceding even ing. The parties, Mr. V—t and Mr; W—d fired each a shot, when the seconds interfered, and a reconciliation succeeded. It is stated in an account froM Exeter, that the first meeting of the Harmonic Society, which took place a few evenings ago, was extremely well at tended. Several people of consequence were pre sent, and among others, Lord and Lady Clifford, Lord Graves, Lady Park, Sir L. and Lady North_ cote, Sir J. and Lady Davy, &c. &c. ; all the principal fatnilies within ten miles of Exeter were present, as well as the dignified Clergy of the Cathedral, and a number of Merchants, Counsellor's, and Professional Gentlemen. The evening would have passed with real harmony, had it not been for an unfortunate disturbance which originated in the conduet of the Lord His Lordship, on taking a survey of the company, was pleased to think they were, in general, not fit to associate with people of title, and insisted on being separated from them by having chairs placed at the head of the room, instead of the forms which had been prepared for the whole of the visitors ; he broke through the first article which had been entered into by the subscribers, and behaved in such a manner as to call forth the animadversioh of Counsellor Tonkin, one of the stewards. A dispute took place, which ended in his Lordship recalling some disrespeaful expressions he had used, and immediately retiring with his sisters from the . room. After the enter tainment the Cominittee sat, and returned thanks to Counsellor T. for his spirited condud. They also came to the resolution of transmitting his Lord ship's subscription-money to him by the post. The DUKE of YORK, by annually adding some thing to Oatlands, has considerably improved that delightful spot. This house has frequently been distinguished as a Royal Residence ; it was one of the twenty four Palaces of CHAR LEs I. and was part of the jointure of his Queen, HENRIETTA MARIA. The Park is confessedly one of the most beautiful in England. . MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS.—We hiat'perpetually of the beauty of this unfortunate (lieen - , and the fol lowing anecdote proves that she never codd be flattered on that account. When MARY, in the full bloom of her youth, was walking in'a - proceision at Paris, a woman forced her way through the crt:wd to touch her. Being asked what she meant by her bold intrusion, she said, it was only to satisfy her self wkether so angelic a creature was flesh_and blood. PARISIAN' I.ISHIOYS. , . Fott full dress nothing is more fashionable-than bandeaus and caps of black velvet, enriched with diamonds. The caps, which are made much like turbans, are placed far back, and :lave in-front five or six large plaits en gueuh de lsup. Some of these caps are of poppy, and others, of orange. &Allured velvet. The crocheis of hair. on. and above the forehead, are very, large, so as to be seen.in, front of the hat, or when the veil is thrown back. A -new mode of dressing the hair has been diSCovered, in order to replace the heads tz la Titus ; a tuft of -hair is formed on the top of the head' of the breadth of four fingers, whilst the rest is cut almoq close behind, the ears, and above the neck. Coloured feathers are still in fashion. Vbr some days past hats of jonquil satini united with black velvet, have been much worn, they are made with high crowns, and almost without a brim. Short tunics, ala jum . • • e, are much in fashion. Tippets begin to be much worn, which have.very long hair towards the middle of them, so as to form a collar round the neck. The shawls which are now preferred above all others, are those of fine cloth. Nothing is more common amongst the men than striped swandown gilets, with one row bf buttons. Stuff gaiters are much worn instead of boots, from motives of economy. The Neapolitan Troops landed at Malta between the t sth and zoth of September. The Maltese are not pleased with their company, chiefly, however, on account of their poverty. OUr Troops, we are sorry to hear, have been very sickly, particularly the 48th Regiment. The heat in August was intolerable, and the English •dlothing is by no means adapted to such a climate. ' A prson who left Brest about three weeks ago, says, that the 'French - continue the building of Men of War in that Harbotir with the greatest activity. By a new regulation of the Chief Consul, the pay of the French 11RArine Officers 'is to-be immediately increased, and the Seamen are to be trained in the use of arms, in all the Harbours of the Rei3ublic, in the same manner as the Soldiers. The following is,qn extaordinary and melancholy instance of the fragility of human hope : A young Lady, of Dover, had been some years engaged to an - Officer belonging to the Tigre, and who wen taut tin- . der. the patronage of the gallant ,Defender of Acre; he returned home lately in that ship, and the meeting between these yoing people was such as might be ex peaed in two attached and amiable characters. The day before he arrived, a small pimple appeared on the nose of Miss 0 : whether the surprize had any immediate effea on .he system, or not, must be left to medical conjecture, but the inflam:. mation ,stddenly extended itself round the part so slightly affected, and increased 3o rapidly, that on the second day she lost her sight, and, on the third, the affection reaching her brain, she expired. - So much has been said about Mr. MOOiE, sitho has been mentioned as having held conferences with the Swiss' Patriots, and 'according to report, he has been in so many : plates at the same time, and for such a multiplicity of extraordinary purposes, that .he seems to, be a Much greater man than his wonder ful namesake, the mighty Moos of Moor-Hall, who slew thr Dragon of Wantley. As an article of fashionable intelligence, The Mornii. , g Herald of Saturday informs its readers, that " the elegant residence of His Hicti4NEss Aziim al Dowla, Nabob of the Carnatic, is to tit dergo some considerable alterations." NOLLEKEI43, one of the best of our Statuarlq, has increased his high reputation by the Monument from his handi which has been ereaed in the church of Wythybam, to the memory of the late Duke of Do RSET. As Sir WILLIAM and Lady lERNINGHAM- pass their Christmas at Norwich, the Poor in that neigh bourhood,will, of course, share in the festiVity of :he season. Mr. BARCLAY, who appeared in Orlerndo , .a few nights ago at Drury-lanc Theatre, obtained his en gagement by the recommendation of Mrs. JORDAN, who performed with him at Margate last summer, and conceived a very favourable opinion of his ta lents. During thelate advanced price of Corn, a Cler.i gyman near Walsham, iin Sufl'olk; found ,himself under the necessity of advancing his tythes ; but: he promised the fanners that whenever any ma_ i terial alteration took place in the markets, he l would reduce them to the former commutation and this, very much td his credit, he has lately. done. A plan has been for sonic months Carrying intd effea for opening the space immediately around St.: Clement's Church, in the Strand. It has bc'en painful duty•to disturb the ashes of the dead, but the absolute expediency of the proceeding hithericr reconciled the public mind to it. Within these fe , ,V, days, however, a clamour has been excited against. the improvement. The workmen came to a private vault, containing three leaden coffins belonging td a family of considerable respedability. .The family have come to town and expressed great concern ail anxiety upon the occasion. The 7esult of, theii, interference has been to retard the. work. The shred coffins remain upon the ground, .and a wooden paling has been ereaed to protect them from public ex.: posure. Mrs. MEALING, the wife of the. clergyman at Brome, in Suffolk, 62 years of age, on Thursdays standing with her back near the fire,• the flames reached her clothes, and in an instant set them in a blaze. She ran into the kitchen for help, and thence into the yard, where - a man,. by throwing water upon her, extinguished the flames ; bUt s.bewas so much burnt, that, after languishing for several days she expired. A fine child, - m%O:'years of age, was lar week burnt to death at Kingsmead-place, Bath, the blaze of a candle communicating with - his clothes ; and sots W days after another infant, in Westgate.stieet, having collected quantity of shavings in his frock, attempted to put some of them into the grate, when the v; hole took fire, and he was shot tly deprived of existence. ~,CQ N EX r I.iJ L,t VI~L !

Lorn D'JNIviORr.; reSiLS at DuilmorePark, on the Firth of Forth; seven miles below Stirling; has thirteen' acres of aids!. ht:uriant land ; kid out almost wholly in garden: D6ring his Lordship's Asenee on the public ser; vice, his son, Lord FlNcp:smt, observed an old pear_tree, wliich had long discontinued bearing, with fruit on one branch only. He accordingly pointed it out to the Galdener, who, examining found that this branch, whLh was about the thick ness of a man's arm, had, most probably by some idle person, been cut all round, and the incision so deep as to go td ale heart of the bough; which was within about an inch of being entirely severed froni the trunk. As there appeared to be no other posSible cause for the fecundity of this braoCh, but the ac,•idental incision, Lord Fitvs•rws ordered another bough to be cut in a similar manner, and With equal suc cess. Upon Lord DuNivtot F's return, he ordered the Same cxperimnt to be cried upon an old pear tree which had been five or six yearS without bear.. ing, and the ,incision to be Made in the think, in.. stead of the single branches ; and, however extraor dinary it may seem, the whole tree was a short time after in full blossom. DEATH OF MR. JOHN ROBINSON, M.P. On the i3d inst. died at Harwich, Joitrt ROB IN.. SON, Esq. in the 76th year of his age. He was born at Appleby ; and at an early period of his life was eleaed, through the influence of Lord LONS DALE, then Sir JAMES LOWTIIE . E, Member fur his native County,'Westmorland, which he represented in two successive Parliaaients In 1774, he was eletaed for the Borough of Harwich, for which he has been six times re.eleded ; and which he con tinued to represent till his death, when he was nearly the oldest Member of the House of Com.: mons. His aelive talents, indefatigable industry, skill in business, knowledge of mankint% :and cast address, recommended him to Lord Noici:Ft, as a proper person to fill the arduous and .important of fice of Secretary .tO the Treasury, which he con tinued to hold till the termination of that Noble Lord's Administration, when Mr, Robinson retired with a Pension of ioool. per annuni. In 178 . 6. he was appointed by the late Minister, Mr. PITT, to the lucrative office of Surveyor-General of His Ma jesty's Woods and Forests, which he held till his death. When a young inzu, he married Miss Chow E of Barbadoes, by whom he one child, a daughter, who was married to the Earl of ABER.. GAVENNY, and died six years before her father, leaving six children, to whom and their Noble Fa ther, Mr. RoBINSON has bequeathed the bulk of his 'property. Few men have been more indebted to their talents and industry than Mr. RoBINsoN, either for their own elevation, or the promotion of their connedions. He was a warm friend, zealous patron, liberal benefattor, and kind master ; and has left many to lament his death, who were raised by his influence, and supported by his bounty. G-trAnAnouTu..—A party of between thirty and forty Negroes, headed by two Whites, on the 16th of Oftober, murdered eighteen men and women in - the country, and after plundering their houses, ad vanced against the town of St. Anne, where, after ,obtaining more booty, they pitrpnsed to have seized some of the vessels, in the lnirbbtir, and to ha 4 escaped from the Island ; they were; however, - re prised _by the people of the town; and afterwards pursued, .although without success, into the woods, by astiong parry of the military from Point-Terre. One of the white leaders, and another supposed to be concerned in the . lnsurredion, were made prisoners. Some whites and - seVeral blacks were executed at Point-Petre on the. 15th. Ai this date . , a great mortality preVailed amongst the white irOops in the Island. A reinforcement frtihi France was daily expeeted. AbOut two o'clock yesterday morning an alarm ing fire brake out in Frederick-street in the town of Portsea, which soon entirely consumed one dwelling-house, with the furnitute; and consider ably damaged several others. A man and his wife and child were in bed at the dine ,of, the fire, and did not .awake till it had Made nioth pro. . gress. The man and his wife escaped from the chamber window considerably burnt and bruised, but we arc shocked at relating, that the child, about four years old, was buried in the' ruins ; part of it has been since dug from 'the A Coroner's Inquest was held on Wednesday, on the body of Atm Treveit, who died in. the' Watch_ house. The deceased was a woman of the town, and'usually was seen in the Strand. About one o'clock on Wednesday morning, the Constable of the Night desired her to go dome ; she had not walked many yards ,before she fell, to appearance in a fit : the Conistablesupposing her to be in liquor, had her locked rp in the hole belonging to the Watch. house, anti gave direetion to the Patrole to let her our when he went off his duty. On going to her for ,that purpose, about four o'clock, he found her lying in the same state as when locked up, but dead. Verniff—Died by the Visitation of God. The Parish Officers of Bishopsgate attended the Lord Mayor on Friday, and stated to his I...z4dship the result of the Inquiry respeCling the death of the unfortunate child named Ann Harris, and said, that it was their intention to prosecute the master 1 and mistress for assaulting the other apprentice. In consequence of this, they were remanded to answer the charge at the next Sessions.
