It appears that the Ot toman Empire is still very far from adopting mea ares of peace--Ad the Turkish troops are still Upon the war establishment. They are distri buted from the Nissa and Widdin to the coast of the Black Sea, the head-quarters being at Sehum la; Reinforcements are constantly joining this ,ttrnty. It is now manifest that there is no longer any intention of an expedition against Servia. It ' lB consequently inferred that theCa4inet of Con nantinople is not yet reconciled to Russia, and that it designs - toassemble its army in order, if necessary, to support its claims against the Court rif Pet ershurgh. They are repairing and placing in the best• state of defence the fortresses along the Wlnks',of *tile Danube. The Anstrian battalions in 130hcmia, which Lave been for sonic time • under marching orders, have set out on their way to Hungary. FRANKFORT, DEC. 2.lThe General of division Count Verdier, passed through this place yester day, on his way from the army to Paris: L'ORIENT, Nov. 25.---,The Commissary of -Po lice, at L'Ofient, having received in ormation that a English cents had been landed a - few days since (in the Island of_Houat, with a design to penetrate into the Morbihan, niltiee of the circumstance was given on the 21st of November. to Captain Commaadant of the Imperial Navy, of the four departments.

The Chief alone had a small paper of poison in his pocket. They were recog nised to he Depiege, alias Debar, Deguern, alias SansLsonci,. and Druz. Their• papers and m structions were found by Lieutenant Allanioux; in a portmanteau, and were immediately forward ed to Captain Melini, who sent them to the Po= lice. These miserable wretches only obtained lodgings by threatening the inhabitants of Houot. This event will deter the spies of England from returning to this island. The Quarter-Master Person, who attacked Deguero, received several stabs of thepoinard in his clothes. The 'Artil leryman Alkali, received a ball in . his lett side, but .the wound is not dangerous. The Journal de l' Empire refers its readers to the intelligence from L'Orient, as affording an expla nation of a paragraph in the London papers uf the 30th ult. which stated that a French Gerwral and two French Colonels had been landed in France by the Arnade frigate.—" The pretended Gene ral," it says, ".was the old Chouan Chief Debar, and his soidisant Colonel, Droz and Deguern, ruffians notorious by the crinies which they com mitted hi our civil bro;:is. They embarked at Plymouth in the beginning of November, and ar rived in Quiberon B;.y, where they remained four or five days on beiard, not daring to land.

ALBANY, 'HEAD-QUARTERS, Nov. I.—Accounts from the frontiers state, that all the forces des tined for a third invasion of Canada, were c9n-, centrated at Plattsburgh, and would amount to 0,000 men. They will be commanded by Gene rals Dearborn (who had left Albany) Bloomfield, and .*,'haaadler, of the redalars, and some militia Geaerals. The regulars arc very excellent troops. The British Commanders were on the alert and it was confidently expected that a great battle would be fought immediately after our troops have ' invaded the province. - The British army under Sir S.

WASHINGTON, OCT. 30..---Capt. Smith, to whom the building ,of vessels and batteaux, on Lake Erie, is entrusted, has, with a party of vo lunteers; captured the British vessel Adams, of six guns., and Catedoilia, of two guns.--Thesd vessels imprudently ventured out of the reach of the batteries .on the Clnadian shore, and were carried by boarding. One' t their, however, grounded during the night and : both crews escaped. But the persons, wiin were left eliind by their companions give the following nfOrm'ation The Adams (which was t.aken from the United States) left Malden on the 24th October. Tl.e British expedition, which, after the. defeat of General Hull, was detached ainst Fort Wayne on the 14th September, and consisted of 40 re gulars and 1500 Indians, returned on the 14fl October.— They then proceeded towards Fort Wayne,- until they came within 16 miles of gin American army, which they learned from their spies was that under Gen, Harrison. They then precipitately retreated, leaving much of their am munition and baggage on the ground.' . Ti Was understood at Malden, that. Gen. Harrison was advancing upon Detroit with his, army. The Queen Charlotte was detained there. The Indians bad destroyed much property in the town, and as they were very numerous, it was nwch feared they would massacre the remaining Americans as soon as they were obliged to .evactiate it by the ap proach of the Anierican army.

" The multiplied proof of folly or 'madness, or of some worse cause, that have driven the nation into a - ruinous offensive war, are accumulating with every day's experience. Barciv to enume rate the evidence would occupy • colionns. Two or three facts of recent occurrence which have. come come to my knowledge, are in point and worthy of regard. It is then a fact (for I speakit on the best authority) that either the national treasury is so miserably empty, or the proper department so deficient in duty, that the army under General 'Dearborn, which has been so .long idling . away their time near All Amy, waFi.not only unpaid, but unprovided with the common necessarids of a camp ; and when a few days since a part of these troops were ordered to the frontiers, one whole regiment (Col. Pike:s) absolutely refused, and deliberately stacked their arms, declaring, that they would not move until paid,: In this, refusal they were justitled by their COlOnel,an old officer, who admitted • they ought not to march, miles's" Government first ,paid the arrears due to them: It. fortunately happened that Mr. Secretary Gallatin was then at Albany, and, on learning the state of affairs at the encampment, he borrowed 20,000 dollars from one of the Banics, on his pri vate credit ; by - which means the troops werdpaid, and cheerfully followed their Commander." EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM NOASHINGTON. The late Unfortunate affair at Queenstown has made a deep impression On the public mind, "The - loss, though not acknOwledged in our Jour nals,'to be more than 600 . i is believed to have amounted, in the whole; to 2000 men. Many persons who were advocates of war, as thinking it might raise the courage of our population, and be productive of national 'glory, begin to reflect and are nOW ready enough to aciinowledge, that the organization of our military force, precludes the hope.

'We learn by letters from Al bany, that the army under Gen.

I am assured from an officer, that the utmost stiength of this army does not exceed 12,000 men, though report has: exaggerated it to three times that number.

" I foal - , however, we cannot depend sufficiently on the discipline of our military ;- the following relation, which is well attested, will explain my detachment of 250-men, of Col. Thy's regiment, was lately sent by Gen. Harrison to burn Some Indian villages. On. the march they fell in with 0. strong part/ of savages, with whom they skirmished. Major Cotton, who Wa3 the su perior commanding officer of the detachment, was in the centre ; Capt. Hamilton 'on the right, and Capt. Root on the left,,. After the engagement tad lasted about half an our, the Indians gave way. Major Cotton, Suspecting This was an artifice of the enemy, to draw his men • into an ambuscade, sounded a retreat ; in opposition to which Cap tains Ilitmiitoil and Root ordered a charge. The cemsiimeace was; that; cue half of the men retired. with the Vajor, while the remaining half followed the two Captains. It is scarcely necessary to add that these last were all cut off and scalped by the Indians" Letters have been lately received by some offi cers of the German Legion, in Ipswich, from their friends on-the Continent. which state, that Jerome BUONAPARTE, the King of Westphalia, has sent all his valuable and movable property from Cassel to France'. A letter by the vessel from Ostend, a few days since, says, that in consequence of the prevalence .of a report that BOONAPARTE' had been shot by one of his ' Officers ; ,the Chief Magistrate sent round the ToWn Crier, to proclaim to the inha bitants, that after the public notice then given, should any person dare to propagate reports rela tive to the state of the Emperor and the army, therwould be iiinnediately sent to the gullies.— Every house at Ostend had billeted on it from 4 to 6 new-raised Conscripts. Letters from Bourdeaux; Coblentz, Maestricht, Nancy, and Chalotis-upon-Marne, state, that the remaining Conscripts of the year 1815 have been called out:to join the corps to which they were attached. Many of these young men are 'not more than sixteen or seventeen years of age. Disturbances broke out last month at St. Gall, which' lasted seven days.
